Chapter 131: Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors
Yang Xiuzhi asked in a low voice and mysteriously: "Old lady, do you remember that day there was a young man who sued the emperor at the gate of the palace?" Gao Hanshi said thoughtfully: "It seems that there is such a person, I remember, there is such a thing, what's wrong?" Yang Xiuzhi continued: "This young man said that he was a descendant of the Bohai Gao clan. The old lady heard that Bohai Gao's eyes lit up, Gao Shu's ancestral home is Bohai, Gao Shu's grandfather later transferred to one of the six towns of Huaishuo general, the family moved to this wild place, and later heard that most of the Gao clan in Bohai died in the war, or fled to Nanliang, the name of Bohai Gao has not been mentioned for decades.
Now that someone has brought up this matter again, could it be that someone wants to deliberately fake Gao Huanpan's relatives? That's not right, even if you want to fake, you don't have to go through the trouble of impersonating a distant relative from decades ago, and it is convenient and not easy to find a close relative to impersonate. Gao Han asked in a low voice, "What evidence does that young man have that he is a descendant of the Bohai Gao clan?" Yang Xiuzhi replied: "That's not true, but he said that his mother is the daughter of so-and-so, is this person from the Bohai Gao clan?" ”
As soon as Gao Han heard the name of so-and-so, he immediately realized: "That's right, that's right, that's an uncle of Ah Shu's (Gao Shu's affectionate name) who is a distant relative, and I heard that their family moved south to Huainan as early as thirty years ago, and then lost the news." Yang Xiuzhi touched his chin and said, "That's right, this young man has a big brother in his twenties, just right." "Gao Han is still a little unbelieving, it's not that no one has pretended to be relatives of the Gao family over the years, but most of them are pretending to be, but most of these fake relatives are in remote areas of the countryside, and they don't dare to come to Yecheng to recognize them. But I really haven't wanted Xu Longzhi to say his origin like this, and he really didn't take the initiative to find them to recognize him. So Gao Han said: "You invite that kid to the other courtyard, and I will personally ask to see if he is talking nonsense." Yang Xiuzhi nodded hurriedly.
The next morning, Xu Longzhi was taken to a mansion by Yang Xiuzhi, and he asked Yang Xiuzhi very curiously: "My lord, you said that a noble person wants to see me today, and it is related to my family background?" Yang Xiuzhi touched his chin and sat on the chair with a smile and nodded. Xu Longzhi was a little puzzled, who wants to see me, and it is related to my life experience? At this time, Gao Hanshi came out of the backyard, and Yang Xiuzhi and Xu Longzhi hurriedly got up and saluted the old lady.
Gao Hanzhi smiled and asked them to get up without respect, and then stared at Xu Longzhi, he was a little uncomfortable when he saw it, and the maid retreated after serving tea, Xu Longzhi felt that today's noble person was the old lady he met at the gate of the Qi Wangfu that day, and he was about to turn his head to ask questions about the old lady's invitation to him today, only to hear Gao Han's straightforward question: "I heard that Xu Gongzi's ancestor is from the Bohai Gao family?" “
Xu Longzhi hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to the old lady, the student's ancestors are not from the Bohai Gao clan, but the student's mother's family is from the Bohai Gao clan. Hearing this, Gao Han asked again: "Oh, but I don't know which branch of the Bohai Gao clan your mother is?" Xu Longzhi replied respectfully: "Back to the old lady's words, the student's mother is a certain branch of the Bohai Gao family, previously lived in Shandong, and then my grandfather's family moved south to Huainan, at that time due to economic difficulties and the southward migration of foreigners, so I attached to my grandfather's family, relying on farming and farming for a living, and then my grandfather and grandfather discussed my mother to my father Xu Moumou, but my mother died after giving birth to our three sisters and brothers, and my father also died half a year ago. Before dying, we told us that if we encounter difficulties, we can find the Bohai Gao family, originally my family relied on the ancestors of the Yin De without the help of others can live very well, this is not to meet my brother was killed by a traitor, bankrupt family and ruined, my brother went to the capital to sue the royal court but has not been heard from since, the student was forced to have no choice but to think of looking for Bohai Gao. ”
After listening to Xu Longzhi's explanation, Gao Han couldn't help nodding, and only after he finished speaking, did he ask: "Since you are already distant relatives who haven't moved for many years, what can you do if you find them?" Xu Longzhi replied: "The student originally had no intention of kissing, but if the Gao family can read in front of my mother and help me find my brother's family to reunite, then I will get what I want, and it will not be in vain for my father's deathbed." Gao Han pressed step by step: "Then if the Bohai Gao clan is now a dignitary, you don't have any other ideas?" ”
Xu Longzhi said sincerely: "Students think that they have not experienced too much in the world, since I was a child, I studied hard just to be able to gain fame one day, even if the Bohai Gao family is really a big family now, although climbing the dragon and the phoenix is a shortcut to success for everyone, but without ability, you climb anyone will eventually be abandoned." Rather than doing this, it is better to study hard by yourself, although I dare not say that I will definitely be able to exchange for fame and fortune, but I can also live a righteous and comfortable life by myself. Others don't dare to look down on it. ”
These few words even Yang Xiuzhi on the side nodded frequently, Gao Han looked at Xu Longzhi, who was not a few years younger than Gao Chen, and loved inexplicably in his heart, this child is really sensible, although he is young, he dares to pick up the big beam and has the courage to bear the burden of the family, his brother is missing and his sister-in-law left home, he is still young but he dares to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, from these aspects, Xu Longzhi is indeed bold, Yang Xiuzhi is a little interested in his talent, and asked a few questions on writing articles on the spot,
Xu Longzhi's answers are like flowing and quick-witted, and his answers often make Yang Xiuzhi smile, this young man is indeed not simple, he seems to be weak but arrogant, and he is very smart, bold and careful. At this time, Gao Han said: "Child, I won't tell you, I am a member of the Bohai Gao clan, and you still have to call me a big lady according to the generation, my lord and your mother are the same generation." Xu Longzhi was stunned when he heard this, his heart was very complicated at the moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or crying, thinking about the sins he had suffered in the past few months, thinking about his brother's broken family, and there was nowhere to confide in the grievances in his heart. But the old lady in front of her said that she was a member of the Bohai Gao clan, which means that this King of Qi and herself are relatives. The most powerful person in the world is related to himself, how do you think that feels?
Gao Hanshi and Yang Xiuzhi thought that he was stupid by the previous words, and immediately Yang Xiuzhi pulled his sleeve and said, "Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi?" Xu Longzhi reacted at this time, fell down in front of Gao Han's and cried loudly, after all, he was still a half-old child, seventeen years old, we were still in high school, and were cared for by our parents, but he had to face all the pressure and challenges alone because of the death of his parents and the loss of his family, he could not retreat, he could only carry it forward, and then he was beaten and injured several times, and the prison disaster did not let him retreat, but at this moment he saw the kind Gao Han, and the thoughts of his mother and the incomparably many grievances in his heart made his emotions explode at this moment.
At this time, he just wanted to vent his inner pain out of pain, the depths of his heart that even Hui Niang couldn't touch. Gao Hanshi watched him cry so much and wiped his tears, the old man's heart was so soft, Gao Huan was so busy every day, he had little time to accompany her, and Gao Chen was transferred to the frontier by Gao Huan Yuan. Although I can't bear it in my heart, for the sake of Gao Chen's future, the only way to be a mother is to bury all the maternal love and pity deep in my heart, fortunately, usually her children and grandchildren are surrounded by her knees, so that she has somewhat relieved some of her pain, but at this moment, looking at Xu Longzhi lying at her feet, she naturally fantasized about him as her youngest son Gao Chen in her heart.
Yang Xiuzhi was also in tears on the side, this scene reminded him of his parents in his hometown, it was also this season, and it was also such weather, how were his parents at home? Are you also thinking about the wanderer from afar all the time? The thread in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt, the dense sewing before leaving, the intention of returning late. What a vivid picture, how can it not touch people's hearts. At this moment, he already regarded Xu Longzhi as his brother from the bottom of his heart.
The relationship between people is sometimes so wonderful, usually cold as frost, just because the emotion is not yet there, when there is a bond between the two for some reason, the relationship will instantly heat up, reaching an incredible point. For example, some people don't know each other, but they drink together in a bar, because a girl helps to fight together, and since then the two have become iron buddies, which is the bond. There are many kinds of bonds, there is love, there is family affection, there is friendship. But no matter what kind of bond they are in, the emotional outpouring between the two is real.
The three of them cried in the house, which made Gao Zhongming and the maid outside the house very curious, Gao Zhongming knocked on the door and asked outside, "Uncle, what happened?" Gao Hanshi wiped his tears and said, "No...... It's okay, don't come in. So he pulled up Xu Longdao, who was kneeling on the ground: "Child, you have suffered, get up, get up quickly." ”
So from this day on, Xu Longzhi became the son and nephew of Gao Han's family, Gao Shu was not very enthusiastic about this distant cousin, and his performance was bland, which was why he and Xu Longzhi were not in place and could not produce intimate emotions. Lou Mingchun and Caihuang are also very enthusiastic about this young man, and this young man has to call them sister-in-law when it comes to seniority. Gao Zhongming was wary of this distant relative of the Bohai Gao clan who suddenly appeared, and always felt that Xu Longzhi was a liar.
Of course, afterwards, Gao Han's family did ask Yang Xiuzhi to secretly investigate Xu Longzhi's details, and only after confirming all the things about the Xu family did he confirm that Xu Longzhi's identity was not fake. In order to show intimacy, Gao Han even asked Xu Longzhi to change his surname to Gao and call him Gao Longzhi, which was one of the four powerful people who later became famous in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
On this day, according to the usual practice, Xu Longzhi came to the Qi Palace's Mansion to greet Gao Han's family, and suddenly a woman's figure came out of the door, which made Gao Longzhi feel very familiar, and just chased out of the door, he saw the woman leading the two maids towards the courtyard. Gao Longzhi turned around and asked Menzi, "Dare to ask the eldest brother, who is the lady who just went out, ......?" Menzi glanced at him and said, "You don't know this?" The youngest aunt of the old man, Mrs.. Gao Longzhi sighed with understanding. Menzi thought to himself, you meet with the old lady and other ladies in the inner mansion every day, but you don't know this MILF, who believes it.
He turned around and entered the mansion, always thinking about this Mrs. Xu in his heart, could the person in his heart be this woman who happened to be surnamed Xu? This is Gao Zhongming looking at him, and said with a smile: "Yo, you are becoming more and more diligent day by day." Why do you say hello to the old woman today? Gao Longzhi knew that this person hated himself in his heart, but he didn't care about him, and said very politely at the moment: "Please also ask Brother Gao to say goodbye, and say that Longzhi came to greet the old lady." Gao Zhongming raised his eyebrows angrily and was about to taunt him a few words, but this was Gao Han's voice inside: "Is Longzhi here?" ”
Gao Longzhi hurriedly saluted respectfully outside the door and said, "If you go back to your uncle, my nephew will come to greet you." Gao Hanshi hurriedly asked the maid to open the door and invited him in. Gao Zhongming stared at him helplessly, and could only be anxious outside the door. Gao Longzhi talked with Gao Hanshi in the room, and after a while, he saw the maid come in and hold a basket of flowers and said, "Old lady, Mrs. sent you another basket of flowers." I'm on the table where I put the incense burner for you. ”
The old lady didn't seem to be interested in these flowers, and said casually: "This is good at everything, but she doesn't understand my preferences, and she has said many times that I don't like these flowers and grasses, but she still doesn't listen, and makes my old woman's house like a girl's boudoir." Saying that, Gao Hanshi seemed to think of something, and laughed dryly. The maid also smiled and said: "Hey, old lady, there is nothing wrong with me looking at the flowers, it looks a lot more lively in your house, and you look a lot younger with these flowers." Gao Hanshi looked at Gao Longzhi embarrassedly and scolded with a smile: "The little girl will have a clever mouth, that's it, just put the flowers wherever you like." (To be continued.) )
