On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 259 Asking for information

After all, Bodhisattva slave did not follow the example of his father Cui Che. When he and Li Mi went to the Yue Kingdom Mansion, they still brought a gift.

"Li Mi has met senior brother."

"My nephew meets his uncle."

Yang Xuangan helped the two of them up, stroked the Bodhisattva slave's head with his big hand, and said with a smile:

"Today your father is not here, so you and I will treat each other as members of the same family."

The Bodhisattva slave declined politely:

"The etiquette cannot be abolished. My uncle and my father are brothers and sisters. Illness cannot disturb the dignity."

Yang Xuangan said helplessly:

"Just like your father, he sticks to etiquette."

The Bodhisattva slave felt that Yang Xuangan had a deep misunderstanding of his father, but as a son of a man, he did not correct his mistakes. After all, the family scandal should not be made public.

Yang Xuangan welcomed the two of them into his courtyard, where Dou Wei was already waiting.

Dou Wei is a bookworm who has been addicted to books all year round. Like Cui Zhaorong, he suffers from eye diseases. At this time, he has a pair of simple glasses hanging on his ears, which was naturally a gift from Cui Che two years ago.

Cui Che never showed his telescope to others and kept it carefully for future use.

I don't think much about glasses. After I made glass glasses for Cui Zhaorong, I also customized a pair for Dou Wei. The prescription may not be accurate, but at least I am no longer blind.

It's just that Dou Wei was preoccupied with reading and didn't notice that Yang Xuangan left the house to pick up someone, nor did he notice that the three of them had returned to the courtyard.

It was not until the Bodhisattva slave and Li Mi bowed to greet each other, one calling him uncle and the other calling him senior brother, that Dou Wei took his eyes away from the book and greeted them both with a smile.

After everyone was seated, slaves brought dishes. Yang Xuangan thought of the Bodhisattva slave and young Li Mi, so he specially prepared tea for them.

During the banquet, Yang Xuangan asked the Bodhisattva slave:

"Is your father really determined to observe mourning for three years?"

The Bodhisattva slave swallowed the chewed meat and then said:

"My uncle and my father have known each other for sixteen years and know each other well, so there is no need to ask again."

Yang Xuan sighed and said with emotion:

"I have known your father since childhood, so I was surprised that he would refuse a saint's love and endure three years of loneliness."

In Yang Xuangan's memory, Cui Che was very dedicated to his achievements, and it was not like he would waste three years for his unrelated grandmother.

The Bodhisattva slave had to change his words again:

"We have been separated for three days, so we should treat each other with admiration. My uncle and my father have not seen each other for several years, so how can we look at each other with the same old eyes?"

Yang Xuangan shook his head and said:

"Your mouth looks a lot like your father's when he was a boy."

After that, I drank a glass of wine and was annoyed that I couldn't give birth to such a smart son.

Li Mi on the side interrupted and asked:

"Senior brother has been very effective in governing Yingzhou. Now that he has returned with great honors, do you know if he will be transferred to any other position?"

Yang Xuangan smiled and said:

"It was also the news I learned yesterday that he was transferred to the governor of Songzhou (administered in Songcheng County, today's Shangqiu, Henan Province)."

Now even Dou Wei put down his books and congratulated Yang Xuangan on his promotion together with the Bodhisattva slave and Li Mi.

Yingzhou, where Yang Xuangan originally served, belonged to Zhongzhou, and the post of governor was only from the third rank.

Songzhou, on the other hand, belongs to Shangzhou, and they are both governors, but their official rank is Zhengsan.

Yang Xuangan waved his hands and said to the Bodhisattva:

"When your father's relatives return to Daxing to report on their work, you will congratulate them on their success."

When the Bodhisattva slave heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked anxiously:

"Uncle, don't try to hide your feelings. Tell me quickly so that I can send you a letter home. My father will feel relieved if he knows that our old friends have found a good place to go."

Yang Xuangan saw that all of his family members were present, so he did not hide anything and told the Bodhisattva slave one by one the news he had heard yesterday:

"Shaocai (Pei Xiu) has made great achievements in Jiaozhou. He will be transferred from Xiazhou Governor to Zhongzhou Governor. It is said that he will go to Weizhou (governing Guixiang County, today's Hebei Province) to serve."

Weizhou was settled by Yang Jian after he divided part of Xiangzhou after Yuchijun's rebellion.

"Huang Baiji, the secretary of Qingzhou General Administration Bureau, will serve as the governor of Xiazhou. It is expected that he will be transferred to Hebei and serve as the governor of Maozhou (governing Guantao County, today's Guan County, Shandong)."

Maozhou was also established after the Yuchijun Rebellion and controlled four counties.

"Liu Fang, the governor of Yanzhou, was transferred to the governor of Shangzhou and became the governor of Yingzhou (governing the military city of Zhaodu, today's Hejian City, Hebei Province)."

"Li Gang, the governor of Yizhou, succeeded as the governor of Laizhou."

Laizhou was Guangzhou under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou Governor's Office at the time, and was still governed by Yecheng (today's Laizhou, Shandong).

As for the rest of the people, such as Qin Qiong, Dong Jing, Zhao Mu, Wang Dangwan, Zhao Yuanshu and others, they were also promoted, but their official positions were humble, they were just long history, Sima and others, so Yang Xuangan did not remember them in his heart.

There were a total of 241 states in the Sui Dynasty. Among the 241 state governors, Cui Che's old tribe actually only occupied four seats.

The Bodhisattva slave generals Pei Xiu, Huang Baiji, Liu Fang, and Li Gang kept their duties in mind. After they had had enough wine and food, it was already dark and the city gate had long been closed when they left.

After agreeing with Li Mi to return to the academy tomorrow morning, the Bodhisattva slave returned to the Duke of Yan's mansion under the leadership of his servant.

After entering the study, he quickly wrote a letter to inform Cui Che of the news.

At this time, Cui Che was hugging Yang Lihua and rubbing her ears and temples.

After the two had fun, Cui Che hugged Yang Lihua and suggested:

"It's been a while since Yanqing was born. Now it's almost the end of the year. Why don't you take him back to Daxing and let the two saints meet your grandson."

Yang Lihua's face changed on the spot. She twisted Cui Che's waist until Cui Che repeatedly begged for mercy and then let go.

"You are thinking of driving me away again. Could it be that if I follow you, I will really be in your way?

"You often bring two unknown women into your house, and I have never really stopped you."

Seeing that Yang Lihua was full of complaints, Cui Che rubbed the soft flesh on his waist and explained:

"If I wanted to drive you away, why would I have brought you to Anping to raise your child? It would have been unnecessary.

"I'm afraid you miss your parents, so I'll let the two saints take a look at Yan Qing."

Yang Lihua said doubtfully:

"Do you really think so?"

Cui Che sighed:

"I'm just asking you to go back to Daxing. I'm not asking you to stay in Guanzhong forever. You can just go back to Anping after Yuan Day."

Yang Lihua finally smiled again. She rolled her eyes at Cui Che and said:

"You, if your father and mother are half attentive to my concubine, I will be satisfied.

"Why are you worried about me missing my parents? Why don't you ask me to pamper you in front of my father and my mother?"

Cui Che didn't take it seriously and smiled:

"When do you plan to set off?"

Yang Lihua hugged Cui Che tightly, put her head on his chest, and said:

"It's still early before Yuan Day, so I have to let you spend more time with me."

Cui Che had no objection to this. He stroked Yang Lihua's hair and warned:

"When you return to Daxing, you must not let anyone know that you and I are husband and wife during the mourning period."

Yang Lihua bit Cui Che's chest and said bitterly:

"When you held my hand in the East Palace, I knew you were a rude person."
