Chapter 4: First Sight (I)

Although Changsun Chi and Changsun Sheng are brothers, and they both have mansions in Beijing, but Changsun Sheng is a general, and most of the time he serves in other places, and Changsun Chi is often sent out by the emperor's order, speaking of which, the two brothers have not met for five or six years, for this reason, the second girl of the eldest grandson was born to the present, and her uncle is still the first time to meet.

"It's Xiao Er, Xiao Er has seen the uncle." As soon as the voice of the eldest grandson fell, without waiting for Gao's reply, the eldest grandson girl had already taken a step forward and saluted again, although she was young, her words and deeds were extremely standardized and upright, so that she could not find out half of the mistakes.

The eldest grandson Chi looked at the little girl in front of him, who was obviously only a little over five years old, but looked like a very little lady, and couldn't help but feel a little mischievous in his heart, he glanced at the eldest grandson girl, and couldn't help but joke: "Guanyin, a little girl of your age is mostly lively and jumpy, and you are so young and act like this, you are not afraid that someone will laugh at you for being old-fashioned?" ”

"Back to the uncle, there is an old saying: no etiquette is not virtuous, no model is not a rule, the second year is still young, it is the time to learn the rules and etiquette, if you rely on the young, you will be blindly wanton, and many bad habits will be formed, it will be difficult to change in the future, when not only will you be easy to be talked about but also may bring disaster to the family, the so-called lesser of two evils, Guanyin maid will not dare to be wanton." The eldest grandson girl looked up at her uncle and replied calmly.

(Note, although the status of women in the Sui and Tang dynasties is higher than in the previous dynasties, the height is limited, it is still a typical patriarchal society, the noble women of the upper class have been educated since childhood, and the education they have received is still a typical traditional education, there is no opportunity to learn what to release their nature like modern children, flaunting sex and the like, women in this society want to live a smoother life, since childhood, they must always pay attention to their words and deeds, and must not act arbitrarily, Gao is a smart person, and the eldest grandson Sheng also loves his daughter, The eldest grandson girl who was born Hui Min is taught by their words and deeds, and the basic truth that should be understood naturally is understood, this is an orthodox historical novel, please don't measure this article by the current female standards and novels that cross the theme. )

"Haha, hahaha, what a lesser of two evils, what a little girl with Zhong Lingyuxiu, third brother, third brother and daughter-in-law, you are so blessed, it's cold outside, let's not stand here to greet each other, go into the house, Tang Guogong's wife Dou Niangzi is also here, brother and daughter-in-law and her are old acquaintances, you rarely get together, just to catch up with the old days." The eldest grandson was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing.

The eldest grandson Chi has outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, although he is over fifty years old, he does not seem to have the slightest sense of decay and old age, but there is an indescribable maturity and elegance, such a careless laughter, and it does not damage his charm at all, fortunately, as his own brother, the appearance of the eldest grandson Sheng is not bad, although he is not as handsome as his brother, but he is also heroic and extraordinary, coupled with the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, standing in front of his brother, it is not much inferior.

Changsun Sheng and Changsun Ren knew Changsun Chi's character very well, and they didn't think it was strange at all, but the second girl of Changsun saw her uncle for the first time today, and saw him laughing so arbitrarily just because of his two words, and he was stunned for a while......

The eldest grandson Chi did not make fun of the little girl anymore, he laughed before he fell, so he took his brother's hand and led the younger brother's family towards the main hall, at this time in the main hall in addition to his wife Yang, there were two women sitting together chatting, one of them looked about his early thirties, with a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, this person was Tang Guogong's wife Dou, and the other person looked only twenty-six or seventeen years old, this person was Yang's daughter-in-law Xiao Yang.

Yang heard that Yahuan was coming, and Lang Jun came over with her younger brother's family, she immediately stood up and said to Dou with a smile: "Sanniang, my third brother's family is here, and I will bring my daughter-in-law to the door to greet you." She got up, and Xiao Yang also stood up.

"Mrs. Gao and I are also old acquaintances, and I will go with you to greet you." Dou smiled slightly, and also stood up, Dou is now seven in Chinese New Year's Eve, and his eldest son Li Jiancheng is seventeen, just because of proper maintenance, he looks no more than thirty years old.

The three of them just walked to the door of the hall, Changsun Chi and his entourage also arrived, everyone was inevitably a salute, and because the house was full of female dependents, Changsun Chi and Changsun Sheng greeted them, the two brothers left together, they left, Changsun Ren is a junior, but the age is not much younger than the female relatives in the house, naturally it is not convenient to stay inside, he finished greeting, he took his cousin Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuyi to find the little Langjun in the house to play.

As soon as the Lang Jun left, there were four married ladies and the eldest grandson and the second girl in the house, who was only a little more than five years old, when Dou saw the eldest grandson and little girl for the first time, he only felt that this little girl was so young, and she looked so quiet, and she was a little surprised, and when she entered the house, after seeing the ceremony, she sat beside her mother in a regular manner, and listened to the adults quietly, neither talking nonsense, nor showing any impatience or nervousness, and the surprise in her heart became more and more serious.

Dou is a real noble girl, her maiden family is extremely prominent, when she was a child, she stayed in the palace for a short time, whether it is parenting etiquette, or intellectual vision, are far from ordinary women comparable, how is a girl's conduct, she has been dealt with twice to find out seven or eight points, like the eldest grandson girl of this age, words and deeds and upbringing are so many little ladies, she has not seen for a long time.

"Sister Gao, your little lady is so quiet and sensible at a young age, it's really greedy, I don't know how old she is this year?" Dou is seven years older than Gao, she is a famous daughter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it stands to reason that she will not know the Gao family who was born in the Northern Qi clan, but the Northern Qi Dynasty has perished as early as 577 AD, after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui favored Gao Mao (Gao's father. Special for its mansion in Beijing, both are Kyoto noblewomen, the age difference between the two is not big, naturally they met, everyone is acquaintances, they met and soon chatted together, after chatting with each other for a while, Dou's eyes unconsciously fell on the eldest grandson girl.

"Guanyin, it's March birthday, and I'll be six years old after the New Year." Gao heard Dou mention his little daughter, and a touch of pride suddenly flashed in his eyes, but his face was not obvious, and he said with a smile.

"It's not even six years old, it's really rare to be so patient, it's not like my Xiuning at all, this girl is eleven years old now, and her temperament is still wild." When Dou heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister Dou, you are too modest, speaking of Xiuning, this girl, no one in the entire Chang'an City knows anyone, Xiuning can be literary and martial, and she is a model in the minds of countless noble girls." Gao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. (Note, the name of Princess Pingyang Zhao is unknown, the name is not recorded in the official history, and Li Xiuning is mostly called in the wild history, let's also use Li Xiuning.) )
