Chapter 21: The Clansmen (II)
"Don't be polite, hurry up, the auxiliary machine was only so big back then, and now they have grown into a handsome young man, and these two children, their temperament and appearance are also first-class, Ji Sheng is so blessed." Eldest Sun Kai helped him for a moment, and when his eyes fell on Eldest Sun Wuji, he couldn't help but gesture with his hand a few times, and then looked at the second girl of Eldest Sun and Eldest Sun Wuyi a few times, and nodded in praise.
Changsun Sheng is indeed quite satisfied with the children in front of him, he has an extraordinary relationship with Changsun Kai, in the face of the praise of his fifth uncle, he is not humble, only stands aside and laughs, the three children can not be as calm as their father, as soon as Changsun Kai's words fell, they hurriedly spoke: "The fifth uncle has won the award."
"Hey, this is the return of the wise and martial general of our eldest grandson family? Why did you take only the step-room and the children of the step-room, my nephews? Ji Sheng, you moved to Luoyang, didn't you actually throw your original son and daughter-in-law in Chang'an? "Changsun Sheng and his wife had just walked into the second courtyard with Changsun Kai and his son, and a mocking voice sounded from the center of the courtyard.
The eldest grandson girl listened to this obviously ill-intentioned voice, and couldn't help but look up, and what caught her eyes was an old man who was about the same age as the fifth uncle, he was of moderate height, luxuriously dressed, graceful bearing, and at first glance he was a well-maintained person who had been in a high position for a long time, although he was not young, his appearance had inherited the good genes of the eldest grandson family, which was quite good, but a pair of eyes staring at his party were full of unkindness.
"Ji Sheng has seen his second cousin." Changsun Sheng's eyes fell on this person, narrowed slightly, and then walked up to him with a calm face, clenched his fists and bowed, this person was Changsun Sheng's cousin in the other room, Changsun Kuan.
Changsun Kuan is the third brother, because there is a sister is the princess of the princess, plus he does have some talents, ten years ago by Emperor Wen was named the prince of the country, in Luoyang has his own special Guogong Mansion, weekdays do not live in the ancestral house, the reason why today is here, is two days ago back to the ancestral house has something, when he finished dealing with things and was about to leave, he just heard that the eldest grandson Sheng was coming back in the near future, so he stayed in the ancestral house for one more day.
With his friendship with Changsun Sheng, of course, he is not waiting for him to reminisce, the third room and the second room, since the grandfather's generation of Changsun Kuan, the two rooms are not very coordinated, to their father's generation, quite a bit of the same momentum, fortunately, the people in the two rooms are keeping in mind a family motto, no matter how much dirt there is between brothers, it is okay to close the door and fight, but you can't go outside, for this reason, in the eyes of the outside world, even if the people of the eldest grandson and the first line of the clan are not so harmonious, they really encountered a major event, everyone is still the same spirit, one to the outside.
In his opinion, their house is the representative of the Changsun clan, and the entire Changsun clan should be the head of their three rooms, and the three rooms of the Changsun clan are in addition to him, who was awarded the title of the prince of the country with his own ability, his brother-in-law, Changsun Hong, also inherited the honor of his father, the prince of the country, a double duke, what an honor, what a privilege, what a reason for the clansmen of the Changsun clan not to take them as the head of everything?
It stands to reason that his grandfather inherited the title of his great-grandfather, and he was the head of the family of the eldest grandson, and he should be the undisputed helmsman of the eldest grandson family, but in fact, when his grandfather was in charge, the people who really held the right to speak in the eldest grandson family were the big house and the second room.
To his father's generation, since the official rise of the eldest grandson, his father eldest grandson Lan was even more pressed to the point of not being able to raise his head, but fortunately, his father had a vision of heroes, and chose to follow Yang Jian's side early, when Yang Jian wanted to shovel Yuwen Hu, his father took the lead, and became Yang Jian's descendant team since then, Yang Jian called the emperor and established the Great Sui Dynasty, and soon named his father as the Duke of Xue Guo, not long after, let the fourth son of the emperor marry his own sister, and the third room of the eldest grandson has since become an in-law with the royal family.
It stands to reason that with the current status of the third room, it can completely crush the second room, right? (Since the eldest grandson of the big house, there are no particularly outstanding children and grandchildren, and they are no longer in the eyes of the third room, and they now have only one opponent, that is the person in the second room.) But the truth slapped them hard again, although the eldest grandson did not hug Yang Jian's thigh as early as the eldest grandson, but he was a person with real skills.
Yang Jian replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the excuse used was not to seek power, but to accept the Zen position, since it was Zen, naturally he could not treat those really talented courtiers harshly (Yang Jian was originally the lord of the Ming, as long as these people did not openly oppose him, he was naturally reluctant to wantonly kill talents. After the eldest grandson arrived in the Great Sui, although he no longer had the position of power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui still treated him with great courtesy, and even the title on his body was not removed.
When the sons of the eldest grandson grow up, the limelight of the second room has once again suppressed the third room, (although the third room is said to be a double public, but the eldest grandson Kuan and the eldest grandson Hong can talk about the real ability, no matter what, they can't compare with the eldest grandson Sheng and the eldest grandson.) Faced with such a situation, the Changsun Kuan brothers naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and whenever they found an opportunity, they would take the opportunity to find the stubble of the Changsun Sheng brothers.
Changsun Sheng knows the grievances of the second and third rooms, and naturally knows what Changsun Kuan is thinking, but the third room is now very prosperous, and his second cousin does have some skills, and he is in-law with the royal family.
"You and my brother, these false courtesies are forgiven, but Ji Sheng, you don't seem to have answered my question yet." Changsun Kuan was obviously unwilling to let him go like this, he squinted and looked at Changsun Sheng, stared at him and continued to speak.
"Anye has already started a family, he has the right to decide where he wants to develop, although I am his father, but I should not interfere too much with his choice, I know that the second cousin has always loved Anye, if the second cousin is worried about what grievances he has suffered at home, you might as well write a letter to ask Anye, if you really find out that I am a father who treats his children unfairly, the second cousin will accuse again, Ji Sheng will accept it humbly." Changsun Sheng stood up straight, met Changsun Kuan's gaze, and said lightly. (Changsun Sheng's ex-wife has something to do with Changsun Kuan's mother's maiden family.) )
"Okay, Youkuan, don't you know who Ji Sheng is? An Ye is his sister-in-law, how can he not be kind? It's rare for Ji Sheng to come back once, it just so happens that you are also here, don't go back to the mansion today, just here at the fifth uncle, I will ask your fifth aunt to personally prepare some wine and food for our grandfather, and our uncles and nephews will have a good drink, how about talking about family life? The eldest grandson Kai on the side looked at the appearance of the two nephews, his eyes turned slightly, and he hurriedly stood up and spoke.
