Chapter 354: In-laws' Visit
The next day, the Duke of Wuguo's Mansion.
There was nothing to say all night, although the banquet in the forbidden palace broke up unhappily last night, Wu Guogong beat the purple-robed father-in-law who served the queen mother, and left the scene angrily, but he did not encounter any accidents.
The mothers, including the Queen Mother, Concubine Wei, etc., did not make any noise, and did not blame Wu Guogong for not attending the appointment. It's just that Yang Lin, the king of the mountain, didn't have any words coming, and it seemed that overnight, the entire Western Capital forgot about the banquet in the Forbidden Palace.
Early in the morning, when Wu Xin was training with Xinwu Wei, an attendant came to report that the degraded Gao Shilian family and the eldest grandson Wuji's family came to visit!
Wu Xin was overjoyed and asked Wu Long to train the army on his behalf, so he couldn't wait to go to Qianfu.
The Gao family and the eldest grandson family are full of heroes, and they are Tianjiao heroes, and there are two high-level Tianjiao who are ranked in Lingyan Pavilion.
If the Gao clan and the eldest grandson clan can be retained, great things can be expected, at least it can greatly enrich the talent base of Wuxin.
Former Hospitality Hall.
Headed by the gray-haired Gao Mu, sitting on the right side, Gao Shilian's wife Xian Yu, standing behind Gao Mu.
Confucian hat robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, frank and simple appearance Gao Shilian second, two handsome young men, standing behind Gao Shilian, did not sit down, Gao Shilian's eldest son Gao Cheng, second son Gao Xing.
Dressed in palace clothes, graceful and luxurious, Gao Shi, who is quite a beautiful lady, sits under Gao Shilian.
A young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome face, dignified appearance, which makes people feel good, and is quite affable, standing behind Gao, is the elder brother of the eldest grandson Wuji...... The eldest grandson is Mowgli!
There is also an old man, an old woman and two women dressed as maidservants, and four middle-aged guards, who are the retainers of the Gao family.
Gao Shilian, the grandson of Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe in the former Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Gao Mao, the assassin of Taozhou in the Sui Dynasty, himself once held the Great Sui Zhililang. The Gao family is also a scholar family, which can be regarded as a famous family, and naturally has loyal retainers with them.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian had already heard the news, and was excitedly communicating with everyone, and Wei Jue also heard the news. All kinds of booing and greetings, and the etiquette was exhausted, but the Gao family and the eldest grandson family were flattered and their favor increased.
Wu Xin took Hongbo, Wen Renzhong, Du Heng, Emperor Shi, Mr. Mingji and a group of more than a dozen people, and came quickly.
As soon as they appeared at the door, Gao Mu, Gao Shilian, Gao Shi and others stood up together and wanted to salute......
"My in-laws are here, and I can't meet them in time, and I'm so ashamed!"
Wait not for them to be courteous. Wu Xin took the lead in bowing down and pleading guilty, which made Gao Shilian and the others stunned, and saw Wu Xin respectfully and politely said:
"Xin'er has seen Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Eldest Sun, Mr. Gao, Mrs. Gao......"
One by one, they respectfully saluted, as if their son-in-law was visiting, Wu Xin was not annoyed and quite patient. It's just that Wu Xin is not so cheeky as to call his grandmother, mother-in-law, uncle, etc.
Who is Wu Xin?
The Duke of Wuguo of the Great Sui is now as famous as the sky, and the king of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is said that he is about to be crowned king by a different surname.
Heaven and earth are the princes, according to the formal etiquette guidelines. Wu Xin's official position is a lot higher than them, it should be their first salute, but Wu Xin obviously did not take the identities of Wu Guogong and General Wu Wei.
Gao Shilian and the others did not break Wu Xin's courtesy with a faux pas, but they were obviously flattered. They only received half a salute and solemnly returned the salute.
In this way, it can also be known that the position of the eldest grandson Wujian in martial arts confidence made Gao Shilian and others breathe a sigh of relief, high performance and high quality brothers. and the retainers of the Gao family, they are very happy, they can be regarded as holding their thighs, and the recent days have been too sad, and even the Gao Mansion has been sold.
After some etiquette, before Wu Xin was seated, he instructed the guards to arrange a banquet, which was so enthusiastic that Gao Shilian and the others were quite uncomfortable.
"Xin'er has heard about Mr. Gao, but he is new to the Western Capital, and he doesn't know the details. However, this is obviously a misunderstanding, Mr. Gao is just implicated, and the younger generation will react to the imperial court, Mr. Gao should not go to the post for the time being!"
After some greetings, Wu Xin took the lead in saying to Gao Shilian.
Although Wu Xin is most interested in the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji has no merit, no name, and he is a junior present, Wu Xin doesn't know what to say if he wants to talk, and it is not suitable.
As soon as Wu Xin's voice fell, the Xian Yu clan, the Changsun clan and others were overjoyed, especially the Gao Cheng brothers and the retainers.
Gao Shilian had a straight face, and waved his hand quite seriously and resolutely:
"Wu Guogong must not be allowed to collude with the anti-thieves and plot against the thief, but he does have an old relationship with the lower officials, this is a careless friendship, he does not know the people, and he should be demoted, it is a decree of the state, how can he be lightly changed? The lower officials have no complaints, they can still be the political party, and they are already content, which shows the court's favor!"
"Uh......"
Most of the people present were stunned and speechless.
Although Gao Shilian considers himself a lower official, he is not an elder. However, this expression and words are a little serious and solemn, and they are quite instructive, and they don't sound right!
Wu Xin didn't care, and sincerely admired and requested: "Mr. Gao is generous and enlightened, Xin'er admires! Since this is the case, how about transferring to Jurong County?"
Gao Shilian is well-informed, extraordinary, wise and open-minded, brave to give direct advice, law-abiding, etc., is an excellent clean official, a good official, famous in ancient and modern times, Wu Xin is very clear, naturally will not mind.
"Hoo ......"
Secretly exclaiming, quite disappointed, nervous and apprehensive Gao Zhen, Gao retainers, etc., secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is also a good compromise, and it is good for everyone, Wu Guogong does not need to sell favors, they can also get Wu Guogong's public relations.
Just look at Wu Guogong's attitude towards them, when they reach Wu Guogong's territory, they will naturally not be treated badly!
Gao Shilian's face sank, he was quite unhappy and said in a deep voice with a faint disappointment: "The order of the imperial court, how can it be a child's play?!
“......”
Wu Xin opened his mouth speechless, not knowing what to say for a while.
Gao Shilian is not an old-fashioned person, nor is he loyal to the Great Sui, but he is more upright, upright, and principled.
Wu Xin couldn't say clearly that he really wanted to recruit him, and he didn't care about him because of his in-laws!
"Father?!"
The Gao family's retainers stopped talking and sighed, but the second son, Gao Zhixing, couldn't help but shout anxiously.
Even if you don't receive Wu Guogong's affection, with Wu Guogong's prestige, his father has refused and reprimanded him many times, what if he provokes Wu Guogong to anger?
"Am you guilty of committing a crime with Tianjiao? The Tianjiao who was recruited before has nothing to do with it, and it is normal for him to be nameless and unable to solicit him. Now, his fame is known all over the world, he is powerful in all directions, he is a very popular minister, and he can't even recruit his in-laws?"
Wu Xin muttered to himself in confusion, his mind turned for a moment, and he simply looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Cheng and others and asked directly:
"Mr. Gao is strict with himself, honest and honest, and his father does not force it. But go and do things under your account!"
Gao Cheng's brother was in high spirits, but the eldest grandson Wuji frowned, obviously a little unwilling. But listening to Wu Xin, he quickly continued:
"Wuji, now she is the wife of my father, but she is engaged, and she is also married. However, this public position is high and powerful, and the forces involved are complex, so I am afraid that this wife will not be easy to do. Now there is no one close to Wujian to rely on, although the people in the mansion will not bully Wuji, life will not be easy after all. If you are afraid of gossip, do a good job, just do business!" )
