At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 228 Follow
"The emperor allowed our family to drive the racecourse to Zhuo County? There is such a good thing?" Gao Kaishan and Xia Steward looked at each other, feeling a little unbelievable, but they were still quite happy.

Gao Kaishan and Xia Steward originally planned to expand the racecourse last year, but they couldn't find a suitable venue. In addition, Gao Bufan went to Liaodong and there was no news. Gao Kaishan had no intention of expanding the racecourse, so the matter was shelved.

Now that Emperor Yang Guang actually allowed Flying Eagle Racecourse to be opened in Zhuojun, and Gao Bufan is still the shepherd of Zhuojun, naturally less troubles but a lot of trouble, this is a good thing that fell from the sky.

Steward Xia couldn't wait to ask: "Then, does the young master have a suitable venue?"

The most important thing about raising horses is the venue, so Steward Xia and Gao Kaishan are more concerned about this.

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet, so I can't rush this matter. After I take office, I will visit slowly. It may take a few months to make a decision, so the new racecourse will not open until the beginning of next year."

It is already June, if the new racecourse can be opened early next year, it will be quite fast, so Gao Kaishan and Xia Steward are very satisfied, the former asked in a low voice: "When will Fan'er take office?"

Gao Bufan shrugged and said: "The emperor didn't stipulate when the child should take office, I want to stay at home for a while, accompany my mother, and then rush to Luoyang, the eastern capital, report to the Ministry of Officials, get the appointment document and then go to Zhuojun County to take office. "

Gao Kaishan nodded when he heard the words, his son just came home, and now he is going to take office soon, he is really reluctant to let go, let alone his wife Chen.

"By the way, Lao Xia, send someone to Dongwucheng County, Qinghe County tomorrow to inform Steward Cui Hu that I will return the horse on June [-]th." Gao Bufan ordered.

Housekeeper Xia suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Master, you want to use the military horse bestowed by the emperor to return Qinghe Cui?"

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "If you don't mind Xia Caishen, I don't care, it's all horses anyway."

Housekeeper Xia laughed dryly and said: "We have horses in our racecourse, so we can just return the horses from our racecourse to Qinghe Cui Shi. After all, it is not easy to give away things that are bestowed by the emperor."

Gao Bufan knew that the old fox was reluctant to give away the best army horse he brought back, so he smiled and said, "It's up to you, anyway, just prepare a hundred horses for me on the tenth day of the lunar new year."

Gao Kaishan shook his head and said: "Prepare 110 horses, after all last year when we were in urgent need of war horses, the Qinghe Cui family lent us a hundred horses, and now it has been nearly a year, and the extra ten horses will be regarded as interest. "

Gao Kaishan is generous and generous, so Gao Bufan naturally has no objection. Although Steward Xia is relatively "stingy", he is not stingy when it comes to dealing with people, and he readily nodded in agreement.

"By the way, remember to entertain the thirty servants Lu Sanlang sent to help drive the horses. Tomorrow each will give five thousand errand money, and send them back to Zhuojun." Gao Bufan urged.

Butler Xia agreed again, and said with a smile: "Master Patriarch, do you still remember what I said before, Master Uncommon will be unknown before 15 years old, and after 15 years old, he will emerge after he is lucky, and then he will always be blessed with good luck. At the head, no matter what you do, there will be noble people to take care of you, and now it really does not come true. Last year, the young master turned 15 years old. First, he met Changsun Sheng, and then he had to help Li Jing to eliminate Zhang Jincheng. In the north, there were Qinghe Cui and Fanyang Lu He took care of him and even got appreciation and recommendation from Ketun.”

Gao Bufan said unexpectedly: "Old Xia, when will you be able to tell your fortune? Dad, did Lao Xia really tell you before?"

Gao Kaishan said: "I guess I said it in a dream."

Gao Bufan couldn't help laughing, it turned out that his father would be silent sometimes.Xia Caishen didn't argue, stood up and patted his buttocks and said: "It's not too early, I'm going back to dream, the master and the young master should also go to bed earlier." After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran left the hall.

Gao Bufan shrugged his shoulders. Sometimes he was a little confused about the relationship between his father and Xia Caishen. Since the day he was born, Xia Caishen has been the housekeeper of the family. He is both a housekeeper and a brother. I am used to discussing with Lao Xia, which is not like a simple master-servant relationship.

After Housekeeper Xia left, Gao Bufan and Gao Kaishan chatted for a while before going back to their residences to rest.Gao Bufan originally thought that his father would ask about Dou Xianniang, but the latter never mentioned a word, so Gao Bufan also chose not to say anything, because he knew that his father must know, after all, Gao Shou and Gao Ren These two big mouths can't keep secrets at all. The reason why Dad didn't mention it is because he believes that he can handle things well.

It is probably because Gao Bufan has been very self-reliant since he was a child. Gao Kaishan is also used to the way of raising animals. He will not ask Gao Bufan about some things unless he feels that his son cannot handle it alone.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan's return to the independent small courtyard where he lives, the beautiful maid Ming Cui has been waiting for her for a long time, and is about to greet him happily, Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng's movements are faster than her, and they rushed up quickly. Arms on Gao Bufan's shoulders from left to right.

Ming Cui pouted and stomped her feet, with an unhappy expression on her face!
Gao Shixiong couldn't wait to say: "Boss Changqing, please tell us the details of the battle where you burned the deserted village with oil. There were so many people before, you just mentioned it casually, it's not fun!"

Gao Shiheng said loudly, "I want to listen to the battle of seizing the bridge first. Miss Mingcui, go and get us some wine. It will be enjoyable to talk about it while drinking."

Although the maidservant was extremely unhappy, but the other party was a guest and a friend of the young master after all, she naturally couldn't wait any longer, so she could only turn around and prepare food and drinks.

Soon, a jar of fine wine and a few small dishes were served and laid out in the yard.Gao Bufan and Gao Shixiong brothers sat around the banquet, enjoying the starry sky and the cool breeze of this summer night, drinking and talking together.

Gao Shixiong brothers are two martial idiots, they dream of being able to fight in the battlefield, so Gao Bufan's experience made them fascinated, and even the pretty maid Ming Cui was fascinated by it, imagining that his young master was riding a giant The heroic posture of the green horse criss-crossing the battlefield.

Before they knew it, it was already the middle of the night, the three of them drank up three jars of wine, Gao Bufan still had clear eyes, but Brother Gao Shixiong was six to seven points drunk, and his tongue was tongue-tied.

"Boss Changqing, you will be a shepherd supervisor in Zhuojun from now on, and you will also open a horse farm there. Why don't we two brothers also go to Zhuojun with you and become your own soldiers or something?" Gao Shixiong suggested. .

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "The Mujian is just a civil servant in charge of a county's horse administration, and he is not a general. It is against the rules to match his own soldiers."

"Then it's fine as a servant or a follower, as long as I can hang out with you anyway." Gao Shiheng said nonchalantly.

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "I don't care, but can you agree?"

The two Gao Shixiong brothers immediately patted their chests and said: "Don't worry, the old man agrees a hundred times. He wished that our brothers would hang out with you, Changqing, so that we could develop skills, otherwise he would not agree to us spending the night at the racecourse."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "The uncle thinks highly of my nephew, no matter, I do need manpower, you go back and ask, if Uncle Shiqing agrees, you can go to Zhuojun with me!"

Brother Gao Shixiong was overjoyed, and immediately said that he would go back to the city overnight to ask the old man for instructions. Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will stay at home for a while before taking office, and it is already midnight, and the city gate has been closed long ago. It’s still early, and when we go back, we’ll just squat outside the city gate and wait in vain, so it’s better to sleep here and leave after dawn.”

Brother Gao Shixiong gave up after hearing the words, but Ming Cui, the pretty maidservant, was very disappointed. She hoped that these two foolish people would leave quickly, and it would be better if they squatted in the city gate, so as not to get in the way here. They haven't had a chance to talk to the young master alone. The last two sentences are really annoying!
