At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 227
In Jixian County, Bohai County, the Feiying Racecourse is extremely lively at the moment. Not only relatives of the Gao clan have arrived, but also the new county magistrate Pan Rui and County Captain Yang Song are also there.

It turns out that the news that Gao Bufan has made great achievements in Liaodong, was summoned by the emperor himself, and was named the Shepherd Superintendent of Zhuo County has been sent back to the county town through official channels, and the news that Gao Bufan will return to the horse farm today was also rushed by the first. The high head of the return was conveyed.

As a result, the family members including the patriarch Gao Shihong rushed to the racecourse to wait. After receiving the news, the new county magistrate Pan Rui and Yang Song also rushed to join in the fun. Obviously, both of them felt that Gao Bufan had a bright future. So come here to get acquainted, and make an early investment in favor.

It was already noon, the sun was fierce, and the heat wave was pressing. Father Gao Kaishan and Steward Xia were drinking tea and chatting with a group of guests in the front hall. A servant crawled in and reported loudly: "Patriarch , Young Master Bufan is back, he has already arrived outside the racecourse, and brought back a lot of horses."

Gao Kaishan stood up excitedly. The brat finally came back. He probably felt that it was inappropriate for a father to go out to meet his son in full view, so he sat down again in spite of his excitement, and ordered: "Xia Steward, you go out to meet him, and arrange the horses to enter the stables, lest that kid mess around."

Pan Rui, the new county magistrate, smiled and said, "Young Master Gao protected Ke Dun in Khitan, and made great contributions in Liaodong. Even the emperor personally summoned him and appointed him an official to reward him. Now that he is returning home in fine clothes, we should go out to greet him."

County lieutenant Yang Song immediately echoed, "That's right, I'll go as well."

"Yes, yes, let's go together!"

Pan Rui and Yang Song took the lead, and the patriarchs Gao Shihong, Gao Shitai, Gao Shiqing and other members of the clan stood up, each with a happy face, secretly thankful that the "treasure boy" Gao Bufan was discovered last year, Hey, it's the golden scales. How can this kid shine in just one year? First, he dedicated his efforts to destroy the bandit Zhang Jincheng, then he protected Ke Dun in Khitan, and then he was in Liaodong. After making great achievements, being summoned by the emperor, and rewarded by being appointed an official, Gao's reputation in Bohai has undoubtedly risen to a higher level, what an honor.

When Gao Kaishan saw everyone standing up and preparing to go out to meet his boy, he was proud and emotional, he no longer held back, and took a few steps ahead to lead the way.

When everyone came to the gate of the house, Gao Bufan just drove the remaining [-] horses across the suspension bridge, and galloped all the way into the racecourse, but saw the horses' hoofs flying, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

Seeing this, Pan Rui couldn't help but said, "The horse bestowed by the emperor is really extraordinary, it's so handsome."

Although County Magistrate Pan's words meant flattering the emperor, the horses selected by Gao Bufan are indeed very handsome, and these horses are all real horses that have fought on the battlefield. The general war horse is comparable.

As soon as Pan Rui said this, everyone nodded in amazement. Steward Xia was so excited that he rubbed his hands, but as a veteran horse breeder, he could tell at a glance that the number of these horses was only about a hundred. A hundred horses?Where did the rest go?
At this time, Gao Bufan had already rode his horse to the front of the house, dressed in black clothes, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and high spirits. The county captain Yang Song couldn't help but praised: "What a handsome and handsome young man, Master Gao is very lucky!" , to have a son like this, what more can a husband ask for!"

Everyone congratulated Gao Kaishan one after another, and the latter politely said a few words.Brothers Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng had already rushed forward, hugging Gao Bufan who had just dismounted from the left and right, and shouted excitedly: "Boss Gao, my brothers knew you would come back safely, grandma, I knew you would come back sooner." We didn’t listen to you at the time, and went to Fuyu City with you to save people. Is it fun to fight in Goguryeo? Tell us brothers in detail later.”

The brothers of the Gao family spoke to each other, saliva splashing, making Gao Bufan unable to catch up, until Gao Shiqing yelled: "You beast, there are no rules, don't get out of here."

As the saying goes, to order tofu in brine, one thing drops one thing, the two brothers Gao Shixiong are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid of their father.Gao Shiqing let out an angry roar, and the two brothers immediately stepped aside obediently like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to make any more noise.

Gao Bufan certainly recognized Pan Rui and Yang Song, and they were the two who killed Dou Xianniang's family, but Dou Jiande would naturally avenge this enmity, so he didn't bother to do it himself, so he bowed to the two of them calmly , and greeted the patriarch Gao Shihong and others, and then plopped down in front of his father Gao Kaishan and said: "Father, my son is not filial, and my father and mother are worried."

"Stinky boy, you still know how to come back!" Although Gao Kaishan blamed him, there was a smile on his face, and he waved: "Hurry up and go see your mother."

Gao Bufan nodded and stood up, clasped his fists to the crowd and said, "Excuse me for a while, please go and ask my mother first."

"It should be!" Everyone said with a kind smile.

Gao Bufan immediately ran into the house like the wind, and galloped towards the back house.The backyard obviously got the news a long time ago, and a group of servants are helping Mrs. Chen to look around in front of the door.

"Master Fanfan, Master Fanfan, you're back!" The maids and servants screamed, the pretty maid Ming Cui burst into tears with excitement, but Chen Shi was relatively calm, just staring with tears in her face.

Gao Bufan came to the Chen family like a whirlwind, and fell to his knees on the ground with a plop: "Mother, the child is back."

There is no way, being an ancient person is more expensive, and Gao Bufan can be regarded as doing as the Romans do.Excitedly, Mrs. Chen stepped forward to help her son up, rubbed her face and said with a smile: "It's good for my son to come back, it's good to be back!"

"Master!" The pretty face Mingcui also wanted to touch her young master's handsome face, but she didn't dare, so she could only cry and laugh at him. But crying to death.

Gao Bufan was a little moved, and comforted him: "Don't cry, young master, it's all right, it's undamaged, go and prepare a set of clean clothes for me, and I have to go out to meet guests after taking a shower."

The pretty maid, Ming Cui, was both surprised and delighted, this was the first time the young master took the initiative to ask her to serve her, she quickly nodded and ran away happily, her slender waist and pretty buttocks swaying gracefully.

Mrs. Chen looked at Fengchen fluttering, more and more handsome son with relief, and thought, it seems that Fan'er has finally come to his senses after going through this dangerous situation, um, 16 years old is not young anymore, so he should be the son of the Gao family The branches and leaves are scattered.

Gao Bufan chatted with his mother Chen Shi for a while, briefly talked about his experience in the past year, and then took a cold bath under the service of the pretty maid Ming Cui, and then changed into clean clothes, refreshed Go out to meet the guests.

Let’s say that Gao Bufan went to the front hall, and everyone met and sat down again. Everyone asked about Gao Bufan’s experience in Liaodong. Although Gao Bufan only briefly said it, everyone was thrilled. I was so intoxicated that I regretted not following.

Everyone chatted until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when Steward Xia ordered someone to a banquet, and everyone sat together to drink and feast, until they were full and the sky was getting dark, all the guests left one after another.

Brothers Gao Shiheng and Gao Shixiong are obviously not satisfied, they want to stay overnight and live in Gao Bufan's small courtyard to have a long talk, Gao Bufan naturally has no objection, the two brothers are affectionate and righteous, they are worthy of deep friendship.

Gao Shiqing also wished his son could get closer to Gao Bufan, so he allowed them to stay and rode back to the city alone.
