At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 253 Fair Competition
It is said that Changsun Sheng has four sons in total, the eldest son is called Changsun Xingbu, the third son is called Changsun Anye, they are all born to his original wife, and the second son is called Changsun Hengan, who is a concubine. As for the fourth son, everyone knows, that is The eldest grandson Wuji and his younger sister, the eldest grandson Wugou, were both born of the Xuxian Gao clan.

The eldest son, Changsun Xingbu, was originally a good seedling, but he was a little unlucky. He was killed by the rebels when Yang Liang, the king of Han, rebelled. Therefore, after the death of Changsun Sheng, the power of housekeeper of the Changsun family fell to the third son, Anye.

Although the eldest grandson Anye is only ranked third, he is the first wife's son, and the second eldest grandson Heng'an is a concubine. He has no status in the family, even inferior to the eldest grandson Wuji, so he has no sense of existence.

The eldest grandson Anye, who was born on the other hand, is an idler who does not do business all day long, and is also addicted to alcohol. He often bullies the widowed mother Gao and the eldest grandson Wuji brothers and sisters, and looks like he is the only one at home.Not long after the death of his father, Changsun Sheng, Changsun Anye began to dominate the family. First of all, he replaced the housekeeper and held the financial power in his hands. He also replaced all other management positions with his own people. The person was also replaced by Niu Hong, his follower.

At this time, Niu Hong replied with a half-smile: "Master Wuji, Mr. Wuji is indeed not in the mansion today. He went out to shoot with his friends in the morning the day before yesterday, and he hasn't returned yet."

Gao Shilian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, since Wuji's child lost his father's control, his behavior became more and more indulgent, and he went out for several days and didn't return. Don't worry, he must have mixed with Li Shimin and the others. It is really unreasonable for such a brave thing to provoke a whole body of evil spirits, waste your studies, and waste your time. Wait for him to come back and see how I teach him.

"Uncle Shi, since Brother Auxiliary Machine is not here, let's come again next time." Gao Bufan said.

However, Gao Shilian's heart was moved. The eldest brother was interested in Gao Changqing before he was alive. Because of this, he has been procrastinating and not agreeing to the marriage between Wugou and Li Shimin. Now it seems that the eldest brother has the right vision. In just one year, Gao Bufan has already become famous. Standing up, emerging, and being summoned and personally appointed by the emperor, it seems that he is not weaker than Li Shimin at present, but he doesn't know how the stamina will be. If there are no accidents, the future can be expected.

Of course, Li Shimin's family background is incomparable to Gao Bufan, and Li Shimin and Wuji are close friends.

"Since that's the case, why don't I create some opportunities for Changqing, at least to make the competition look fairer?" Gao Shilian thought to himself.

After all, Gao Shilian is also from the Bohai Gao clan, so his heart is naturally inclined towards Gao Bufan. However, he has to consider the interests of his nephew and eldest grandson Wuji, because for now, Wugou married Li Shimin and married the Li family. The eldest grandson Wu Wuji's help is obviously the biggest.

As the so-called palms and backs are all flesh, Gao Shilian had to try his best to be fair. In his opinion, Li Shimin was the first to get the moon near the water, and Gao Bufan came to Luoyang with great difficulty. He even rarely saw the face of the Guanyin maid. Too bad.

Gao Shilian's thoughts turned, and he immediately made up his mind. He said in a deep voice, "Brother had a good look at Changqing before he was alive. Since Changqing is here, why don't you go in and burn incense for him?"

Gao Bufan nodded his head when he heard the words, and said: "So what you want, is it just so convenient?"

For Changsun Sheng, Gao Bufan still respects and appreciates him very much. He was just a "five scumbags of war" back then, and he couldn't even defeat Zeng Ada. If it wasn't for Changsun Sheng's protection, he might have been eaten alive by Yu Wenzhi.

In addition, Gao Bufan still has a little expectation in his heart to see his eldest grandson Wugou, just as it is written in a poem: Last year, in this door today, people's faces are red with peach blossoms.The human face does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze.

There are always some beautiful people or things in this world that can make people fall in love at first sight, engraved in the heart lingeringly, and these beautiful people and things are often short-lived, once missed, they can only stay in the heart for a lifetime Regret and melancholy, the human face does not know where to go, leaving only the peach blossoms and the spring breeze.

Gao Bufan's love for his eldest grandson Wugou may not be as exaggerated as love at first sight, but when he saw his eldest grandson Wugou for the first time in Gaojibo, Gao Bufan was impressed by the quiet and dignified appearance of this eldest grandson sister under the butcher's knife. Very deeply impressed, the "beautiful" silhouette of this scene is always in his heart.

Spring flowers are brilliant but short-lived, youth and beauty are hard to come by, especially for ancient women, even before their youth bloomed, they married other people's wives at the age of cardamom, so when the eldest grandson Wugou left Feiying Racecourse and returned to Luoyang, Gao Bufan was melancholy , and even said that he was a little worried, worried that the next time we meet again, the eldest grandson Wugou will already be Mrs. Li.

Therefore, now that Gao Shilian has come up with a grand reason to invite him into the Changsun's Mansion, Gao Bufan naturally couldn't wait for it.

Gao Shilian was secretly delighted when he heard the words, it seems that Changqing is really interested in Guanyin maidservant, so it will be easy to handle, when this kid blew on the dandelions all over Guanyin maidservant's body, he knew it was impossible for this kid to have no thoughts about Wugou, so he smiled Said: "Uncle Shi took you in, what's the inconvenience?"

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "Then there will be Uncle Lao Shi, Shixiong Shiheng, will you go in with us?"

Gao Shixiong scratched his head: "Boss Changqing, forget it, we'll wait for you outside."

Brother Gao Shixiong didn't know Changsun Sheng well, and the relationship was even more distant, so they naturally didn't want to go in to offer incense and worship, and the host's house was not there, so it was even more inconvenient.

Gao Bufan saw that the two were unwilling and did not force him, so he followed Gao Shilian into the eldest grandson's house through the side door.Gao Shilian was an uncle, and he brought people in to pay homage to the old Patriarch. Naturally, Niu Hong didn't want to stop him, so he obediently let him go, but he immediately ran to report to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper is Zhou Fugui, who was originally the eldest son Anye's long-term follower. He has no experience in housekeeping, and he can't even do abacus. His original wife's son, who is older than the eldest grandson Wuji, according to the principle of orderly seniority, he should naturally inherit the eldest grandson's family business.

Besides, the housekeeper Zhou Fugui was very upset when he saw Gao Shilian bringing outsiders into the eldest grandson's house without authorization. His eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not his nose, so he didn't give Gao Shilian a good face. He was thrown out.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan couldn't help secretly worrying about the situation of the eldest grandson Wuji's brother and sister. Since the housekeeper dared to treat Gao Shilian with such an attitude, he probably wouldn't take kindly to the third mother and son of the Gao family.However, as the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, so what if Gao Bufan is worried?You can't meddle in other people's family affairs.

Gao Shilian and Gao Bufan, under the "stalking" of the butler Zhou Fugui, finally put incense on Changsun Sheng's lord tablet. Just when Gao Bufan thought he would have no chance to see Changsun Wugou, a maid came in and said, " Housekeeper Zhou, Madam heard that Uncle is coming, please meet him in the West Wing."

Zhou Fugui frowned, and said lightly, "Got it."

Gao Shilian smiled and said: "Eldest brother often mentioned Changqing in front of his sister, it's such a rare coincidence, how about Changqing also go in with Uncle Shi to meet your aunt?"

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "I'm determined to do what I want, I dare not ask you."

Gao Shilian didn't wait for Butler Zhou to speak, he took Gao Bufan and walked to the west chamber behind the maidservant.Zhou Fugui is not a good person at all, his stomach is empty, so he is not expected to be a housekeeper. Although he thinks it is inappropriate for Gao Bufan, an outsider, to see his family members, he can't find a reason to stop him. After all, Gao Shilian has already said that he brought Gao Bufan in. Seeing my aunt, so I searched all my brains and couldn't find a reason to object. I opened my mouth, and finally I could only watch Gao Bufan follow Gao Shilian into the backyard.

However, Zhou Fugui was quite devoted to his duties. Since he couldn't stop him, he immediately sent someone to inform his eldest grandson Anye who was out drinking. Come on, hehe, if you can drive away Changsun Wuji, wouldn't all the property under the name of Changsun's family be Sanlang's in the future?As for the remaining grandson Heng'an, the bastard's eldest son, don't take it seriously.
