Chapter 123: The Girl of the Li Family

Gao Cheng sat in the courtyard, listening to the woman's own account of the past, and when she talked about the sadness, the woman burst into tears.

Crying and crying again, she embarrassed her husband in front of Gao Cheng, quickly wiped her tears, and got up to make amends.

Perhaps it was the same situation that touched the deepest memory in Gao Cheng's heart.

With a hint of sadness, he said with relief:

"It's okay, it's just a true feeling."

Gao Huan also used to be from the Gu family.

But Lou Zhaojun, the granddaughter of the Hou Mansion, resolutely married Gao Huan, a soldier who had just been rejected by Han Zhihui's parents and guarded the city gate.

During the period, it was mixed with the gossip of the jealous, which also made Gao Huan determined to make a career.

During his tenure as a messenger, Gao Huan witnessed the rebellion of the forbidden army in Luoyang and knew that the troubled times were coming, so he scattered his family wealth and socialized with heroes everywhere.

Gao Cheng, on the other hand, was born two years after Gao Huan made his decision, and his childhood was not happy.

In his childhood memories, Gao Huan was away all the year round because of the messenger's errand, and finally went home and took the money from Lou Zhaojun, and immediately went out to call friends and find a place to drink wine and eat meat.

When he came back, he always carried the smell of alcohol, and often kicked Gao Cheng, who begged his father for a hug, and carried Lou Zhaojun into the house.

He Liuhun is becoming more and more decent in front of people, and Sun Teng, Liu Gui, Sima Ziru, Cai Jun, Jia Xianzhi, Hou Jing and other faceable characters regard him as a friend.

Even the general of Huaishuo Town, Duan Chang, encouraged him: "You have the talent to help the world, this life will not be wasted, I am old and I can't see your future achievements, but please take care of my children and grandchildren." ’

In order to repay this encouragement, after Gao Huan seized power, he posthumously presented Duan Chang as Sikong and awarded his son Duan Ning an official position.

But when Huaishuo, Gao Huan's scenery had nothing to do with Lou Zhaojun and Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng's mother and son are short-sighted neighbors in daily contact, and these people don't understand Gao Huan's ambitions.

All they saw was a wealthy woman who was married to a low-level soldier, and that man only knew how to squander her dowry.

So, behind their backs, they would point fingers at Gao Cheng's mother and son, ridicule Lou Zhaojun for having no vision, and ridicule her for marrying the wrong husband.

As for Gao Huan's ability to associate with the upper-class figures in Huaishuo Town, they also felt that it was just borrowing the power of Lou Zhaojun's mother's family:

'If I marry Lou Zhaojun, with the help of the Lou family, I can also be friends with those people. ’

Gao Cheng took the woman's hand, and poured out his childhood misfortune to her with clear eyes, and heard Zhang Dexing and his wife sigh for a while.

As the night deepened, the cry of the baby in Zhang's arms brought the three of them back to their senses.

Seeing that it was not too early, Gao Cheng got up and said goodbye, and the Zhang family wanted to leave Gao Cheng to eat, but Zhang Dexing was quite hesitant, he was worried that Gao Cheng, who was dressed in fine clothes and jade food, would be able to get used to his own coarse tea and light rice.

Unexpectedly, Gao Cheng agreed, not only that, but also asked to visit the kitchen.

See the details of the real chapter, whether Zhang Dexing is fake or not, take a look at the kitchen is more secure.

Gao Cheng followed Zhang into the kitchen and looked around, there were three pieces of air-dried pork hanging in the kitchen, and there were also many vegetables piled up in the corner.

He deliberately opened the rice jar, and there was a small half jar of corn in it.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng became satisfied, Zhang Dexing is an official anyway, even if he is honest and honest, he can't afford to buy a big house in Yecheng, and he won't eat chaff.

If the kitchen is full of wild vegetables, the rice jar is full of chaff, and it looks like a family with four walls, it must be deliberate.

Walking out of the kitchen, Zhang Dexing was catching a hen from the chicken coop in the yard.

"Let's keep the raw chicken."

Gao Cheng stopped Zhang Dexing from slaughtering chickens for hospitality, and he smiled at the Zhang couple:

"I forgot first, there are still guards outside the door, so I won't eat at the house today."

You can't eat and drink in the house by yourself, and let the guards stay outside the door and starve.

Hearing this, the Zhang couple put down the objects in their hands and sent Gao Cheng out.

Before leaving, Gao Cheng turned around and said to the couple:

"There are many truths in this world, but in Cheng's view, there is only no greed and bribery, waste of government affairs, and people who are honest and diligent in their work are coarse and light.

"Some things may be difficult to cure for a while, but there will always be a day of reckoning."

He said to Zhang Dexing again:

"I originally wanted to bring you back to Luoyang to serve in the center, but I still want to leave you in the place after thinking about it.

"Compared to providing me with assistance in the center, governing the place, and letting the people of a state live in peace is what you should do, you govern things with your heart, and the future of more than one state will be thorny."

Gao Cheng said it easily, but he heard that Zhang Dexing and his wife were overwhelmed in their hearts.

They didn't dare to think about what the future of the assassin in a state meant, but they knew very well about the dignitaries of the assassin's history.

In today's Kanto land, the history of thorns is mostly from the Gao family's Yuancong nobles, such as Xiangzhou, to which Yecheng belongs, and the history of thorns is Gao Huan's brother-in-law Duan Rong.

If these words were said by others, they might be regarded as jokes, but Gao Cheng's identity determined that he could fulfill this promise.

Zhang Dexing and his wife knelt down excitedly to thank him, and were helped up by Gao Cheng, saying:

"I hope that Zhang Juntian can not forget his original intention, and always keep in mind the words he said to me when he was in the Bohai Palace, although I am far away in Luoyang, I will also pay attention to your news, don't let me down."

After that, he glanced at Zhang's and continued:

"It is Zhang Juntian's luck to have such a good wife, I shouldn't take care of the family affairs between you, and it is common sense to take concubines, but if you dare to abandon the chaff, divorce your wife and remarry, I will fight to be criticized, and I will also make decisions for Mrs. Zun and imprison you to Luoyang."

Zhang Dexing didn't dare to say anything, but Zhang's eyes were full of gratitude.

It is a good thing that her husband is an official, but Zhang's occasionally can't help but worry that her husband married a high-ranking magnate for the sake of her future and handed her a letter of resignation.

Whether the loving husband and wife at the end of the year can still stay together after their careers, even if they understand their husband's personality and people's hearts are fickle, Zhang's is not sure.

Now with Gao Cheng's support, no matter how high Zhang Dexing stands in the future, he can't dislike his age, background and appearance.

When Gao Cheng returned to the Bohai Palace, it was already late, and he was not in a hurry to eat.

I called the steward of the Bohai Mansion in Yecheng to ask for 500 pieces of silk cloth, and I wanted to send them to Zhang Dexing's mansion during the day tomorrow, so that the people of Yecheng would know that they liked an honest and honest official like Zhang Dexing to set an example.

We can't just let the corrupt live a good life, and honesty and dedication should be commendable.

Five hundred pieces of cloth is not a small number, equivalent to one twentieth of a high Aocao, of course, this unit of measurement is a little strange.

But after thinking about it, the wealth is not exposed, considering that Zhang Dexing often goes out on business, and only the Zhang family has a baby at home, and he sends 500 pieces of cloth into the door in broad daylight, isn't it just to bring trouble to their mother and son?

This was inconsistent with Gao Cheng's original intention, so he instructed the steward to let him send two horses to Zhang Dexing's house every month, and if Zhang Dexing was transferred out in the future, he would make another arrangement.

The next day, Gao Cheng ordered to summon the Juntian envoys from all over Hebei to report to Yecheng.

Before waiting for the county envoys from all over the country, the heads of the Boling Cui clan, Cui Xian, Cui Jishu, and Cui Ang were already waiting outside the mansion to meet.

Gao Cheng and Boling Cui's family, especially the second room, have a feud, with the trust that San Cui has received under Gao Cheng's command now, this sounds absurd, but it is true.

The key lies in Cui Xiaofen.

Cui Xiaofen was born in the second room of the Cui family in Boling, and was valued by Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong because of his talent since he was a child.

Compared with the Qinghe Cui clan in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty, before Cui Xian, Cui Jishu, and Cui Ang, the Boling Cui clan was supporting the scene with Cui Xiaofen, and the status of this person in the clan can be imagined.

Maybe it's because the family is used to betting at both ends, and it's more likely that Cui Xiaofen's personal relationship with the clan made him lose his judgment.

After the Luoyang Rebellion, Gao Cheng was implicated in the execution of the former leader of the Boling Cui clan, Cui Xiaofen.

Cui Xiaofen is not the only one, among his eight sons, except for the eldest son Cui Mian, the second son Cui Xuanyou, and the third son Cui Xuandu, who were not in Luoyang and were spared, the remaining five were all beheaded outside the gate because they were involved in the rebellion.

After the remaining three sons were escorted to Jinyang, they were comforted and treated favorably by Gao Huan.

The bad things are all done by Gao Cheng, what does it have to do with He Liuhun, he is a good man.

Hearing that the owners of the Boling Cui clan were in person, Gao Cheng was thoughtful, thinking that it was Sancui who successfully persuaded the owners of the houses, so he hurried out to greet him personally.

Everyone came to the wing room and sat down, explaining their intentions, and sure enough, they came to Yecheng to present the list of hidden households to Gao Cheng.

The Boling Cui clan has spread out its branches, and the four veins have the highest prestige, namely the big house, the second room, the third room, and the Anping house.

The big house has Cui Boqian who has been reused under Gao Huan, and among the three Cui under Gao Cheng, Cui Ang is the second family, Cui Xian, and Cui Jishu are the third family.

Three of the four veins are willing to hand over the hermit for the sake of the future of the lineage, and there are no children in Anpingfang who are relied on by the Gao family and his son like these four people for the time being, and they are not willing to be independent of the other three rooms, recruiting the Gao family to hold grudges, and there will be outstanding children in the future, but the future is frustrated, but it is not beautiful.

With these four veins dominant, after Gao Cheng spread the news that he was going to check the hidden households to Hebei, the rest of the Boling Cui clan also immediately sorted out the roster and presented it today.

Gao Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the servants to prepare a banquet to entertain everyone from the Boling Cui clan.

After sending off the Boling Cui clan and his party, it didn't take long for the Bohai Gao clan, the Feng clan, the Diao clan and other clans to go to Yecheng to present the list of hidden households to Gao Cheng under the leadership of Gao Qian.

During the banquet, Gao Cheng told the Feng family about the recent situation of Feng Longzhi and Feng Zihua's father and son in Jinyang, and regretted that he should not have killed Diao in the first place.

Sun Teng and Feng Longzhi had a bad relationship with Yuan Mingyue, Gao Huan had no choice but to separate the two, and Gao Cheng wronged himself to marry Yuan Mingyue for the unity between the six towns and the Hebei scholars, in order to eliminate the estrangement between the two.

Sure enough, since Yuan Mingyue married Gao Cheng, Sun Teng and Feng Longzhi immediately reconciled.

Everyone Yuan Mingyue has become Gao Cheng's little wife, and then they hate each other, doesn't it mean that they are still thinking about Xiao Gaowang's family?

As for Diao Quan's death, it is necessary to go back to Hebei to resist the Erzhu uprising, and Gao Aocao's general Liu Shuzong and his brother Liu Haibao occupied Cangzhou in response to Gao Aocao.

Diao Quan attacked and killed Liu Haibao and seized Cangzhou.

When Gao Cheng seized Cangzhou, in order to win over Gao Aocao and give him anger, he killed Diao Cheng easily.

Bohai Diao didn't dare to hold a grudge against Gao Cheng for the tidying matter, it seems that Gao Huan led 200,000 Jinyang Hu soldiers to Hebei some time ago, and the effect was extremely obvious.

When Gao Cheng received visitors from the Bohai Sea, the Li family of Zhaojun was also persuaded by the sect leader Li Yuanzhong to decide to take the initiative to sacrifice the hidden household.

Not only that, Li Yuanzhong also chose a surprise for Gao Cheng.

When Gao Cheng met with the Li family of Zhao County, he couldn't help but change his face when he saw the surprise that Li Yuanzhong brought him.

In front of her was a twenty-five-year-old beautiful woman, who said that she was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and was hired as the princess of the king of Zong, and her husband was in trouble in Heyin, and she had been at home to keep the festival.

Li Yuanzhong's actions made Gao Cheng feel that his personality had been insulted, and he asked angrily:

"Li Shizhong, what do you mean!"

Li Yuanzhong said with a smile:

"It's just a matter of keeping promises."

So he told Gao Cheng in detail about the Luoyang Rebellion, and when he and Gao Qian were trapped in the attic, he said that he would choose a descendant woman from the clan to marry Gao Cheng as a wife.

"The oath of the day, not only Gao Qianyong alone, but many people have heard of it, if the prince does not believe it, you can ask the family members of Gao Shizhong (Gao Longzhi)."

Hearing that there was a reason for the incident, Gao Cheng softened his face.

After looking at the woman for a while, after all, she couldn't compare to the four wives in her family, and her identity as a daughter of the Li family reminded her of a figure buried in the corner.

Gao Cheng politely declined:

"Cheng is not his father, although there are many beautiful wives and concubines, but they have their own reasons, not their original intentions.

"If Mrs. Li is determined to keep the festival, Cheng's wish will come true, and if Mrs. is willing to remarry, Cheng also wishes Mrs. to find a good match again."

Li Yuanzhong couldn't figure out which link went wrong, it was clearly a widow with a noble husband's status, wouldn't Gao's father and son be like this?

Seeing Gao Cheng's resolute attitude, he asked the Li family to retreat first and go back to the Li family's mansion in Yecheng to rest, and also made up his mind not to let Gao Huan see this woman.

If he really takes a fancy to it, he will be accepted as a side room, and let the son know that the woman who was once dedicated to him has become his concubine, isn't this resented in vain?

During the banquet, Gao Cheng drank fake wine mixed with water, and recalled his time in Li Yuchuan with Li Yuanzhong.

Inadvertently mentioned a woman from the neighboring yard that he had once met.

"Her name is... What's her name? ”

The drunken Gao Cheng seemed to be trying to remember, but he never seemed to remember, and waved his hand and said regretfully:

"That's it, it's just a meeting in Pingshui."

Li Yuanzhong immediately paid attention, he knew Gao Cheng very well, although he was only fourteen years old, he was mentally mature, and he would never be untargeted.

My Healing Game

After the banquet, Li Yuanzhong immediately ordered someone to rush back to Li Yuchuan to investigate, and during Gao Cheng's stay in Li Yuchuan, who were in the nearby courtyard.

This matter is easy to find out, and the steward specially found a secluded courtyard for him according to Li Yuanzhong's instructions.

After some inquiry, I learned that Gao Cheng's neighboring courtyard lived in the family of Li Xizong, who is now the Taishou of the Shangdang.

Li Xizong has two daughters, the eldest daughter is named Li Zuyi, who is married to Anle Wang Yuanang, and the second daughter is named Li Zu'e, who is eleven years old this year.

The appearance is amazing, as soon as he heard the description of the person who returned, Li Yuanzhong immediately determined that Gao Cheng was the daughter of Li Xizong, but it happened that Li Zuyi also returned to his parents' house to save his relatives, and Li Yuanzhong faced two candidates for a while.

Xiao Gaowang's preferences can be understood when he looks at his concubine, he is older than him and is a woman of the Yuan family, but it is not good for these two points, Erzhu Ying'e, Xiao Erzhu, and Song Niangzi are the daughters-in-law of the Yuan family, and Yuan Zhonghua and Yuan Mingyue are the daughters of the Yuan family.

Why don't you need to think about it, isn't it Li Zuyi.

With a plan, Li Yuanzhong was relieved, but Yuanang was still alive, which made him difficult again.

------Off topic------

It's really not to pick ears, it's inflammation in the right ear, go and see it, and the second one is more likely to be in the early hours of the morning.
