At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 464
Marriage in ancient times, especially for a wealthy family, is a very cumbersome and lengthy matter. Three letters and six ceremonies are indispensable. From the very beginning of acceptance to the final welcome, it will take a few months at the fastest , It even needs to be prepared a year in advance.

Gao Bufan can barely be regarded as a high-ranking official in the frontier now, a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, and a descendant of the famous Gao family in Bohai, and the eldest grandson's family is also a famous family, so it is natural that he cannot be sloppy in etiquette, so all etiquette must be done.

This day was the 11th day of the first month of Daye [-] years. It was dark, windy and snowing. Wei Zheng excitedly brought a person to Gao Bufan, and introduced him, "Brother Keming, this is Tong Yuyang. Shou, Zhuojun Yingyanglang General Gao Sir."

The person hastily bowed respectfully and said: "Du Ruhui, Duling County, Jingzhao County, pay my respects to Mr. Gao."

Gao Bufan was still sitting with a big horse, but he immediately bounced up like burning his butt when he heard the words, and blurted out: "You are Du Ruhui Du Keming?"

Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, Wei Zheng was also a little surprised, and said strangely: "So Mr. Gao also knows Brother Keming?"

Gao Bufan was elated at the moment, and he carefully looked at Du Ruhui in front of him, and saw that this guy was about thirties, quiet, with a bookish face, and looked very kind.

"Hehe, didn't Mr. Wei mention Mr. Du in front of the general? Have you forgotten?" Gao Bufan said without changing his face.

Wei Zheng looked confused, did I mention it?who I am?Where am I?

"Mr. Du, please sit down quickly, come and serve tea!" Gao Bufan warmly greeted Du Ruhui to sit down, and then yelled again, a soldier with quick hands and feet quickly brought the tea, and Gao Bufan personally served Du Ruhui Poured a glass.

Du Ruhui couldn't help being flattered, he also looked confused, and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Gao is too polite, what can I do to be treated so courteously by your lord."

Although Du Ruhui is full of talent and learning, he is also the head of the famous Eighteen Scholars in history, and he is also one of Ling Yankuo's 24 heroes, but now he is still unknown, although he is better than the previous Wei Zheng , but it won't be much better, otherwise he wouldn't be friends with Wei Zheng.

This time Du Ruhui took the initiative to join Gao Bufan, precisely because he received a letter invitation from Wei Zheng.

Gao Bufan said solemnly: "Mr. Du deserves it, deserves it, Mr. Wei often mentions you in front of the general, saying that Mr. Du, you are full of economics, rich in knowledge, clear in knowledge, good in inside and outside, good in planning and long-term in planning, and ready to go. account, Wang Zuozhi is also talented."

"Uh...Master Gao's praise is ridiculous!" Du Ruhui was a little embarrassed to be praised, and then looked at Wei Zheng gratefully. It turned out that Wei Xuancheng thought highly of me so much!

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and coughed lightly, did I say that?who I am?Where am I?
After exchanging a few pleasantries with each other, Du Ruhui saw that Gao Bufan was very talkative and kind, so he gradually let go. Everyone talked about the past and the present, very speculatively, and an hour passed before he knew it.

As the saying goes, an expert will know if there is something at hand. Du Ruhui is a man of great knowledge and strong memorization. He is familiar with current events and allusions. The more happy he is, the more and more people he manages now, and the bigger the territory, but there are only a handful of talents, especially the shortage of management talents, and Du Ruhui's encyclopedic talents are what he urgently needs. of.

Hence, Gao Bufan finally couldn't help standing up, bowed deeply to Du Ruhui and said, "Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years. If Mr. Du doesn't give up, please stay and help me."

Du Ruhui was also very excited. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile horse often exists, but Bole does not often have one. He has always been underappreciated, and it is rare for Gao Bufan to appreciate him so much. After this conversation, he also feels that Gao Bufan is indeed extraordinary, and it is hard to find a master. , Immediately stood up and bowed deeply and said: "Thanks to Mr. Gao for looking up to me, Ruhui is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Gao Bufan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the National People's Congress to throw a banquet to clean up Du Ruhui. The level of courtesy even made Wei Wei a bit appreciative.

The banquet is ready, Gao Bufan is holding Lao Wei with his left hand, and Du Ruhui with his right hand to enter the banquet. He is really thirsty for talents. At this time, Gao looks very much like the big-eared thief Liu Bei.

Gao Bufan personally poured a glass of wine for Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, and said with a smile, "This glass will cleanse Mr. Du."

Du Ruhui quickly thanked him and drank the cup.

Gao Bufan poured another cup, and said to Wei Zheng, "This cup is for Mr. Wei, thank you Mr. Wei for recommending such an outstanding talent as Mr. Du for this general."

Wei Zheng showed a hint of a smile and said: "It is the duty of the subordinates to promote talents for the adults." After finishing speaking, he raised his glass and drank with Gao Bufan

"In the future, if there are more talents like Mr. Du, the more the better, I will be able to take care of the thatched cottage ten times." Gao Bufan said sincerely.

Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng couldn't help being slightly moved when they heard the words, they stood up at the same time and said: "Master Gao is so courteous and virtuous as a corporal, why worry about it not being a major event, and my subordinates toast to Mr. Gao." After speaking, they all toasted.

Gao Bufan stood up and had a drink with the two of them, and everyone sat down again. Wei Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, "Brother Keming is full of knowledge, and he is more familiar with etiquette than I am, so it is up to Brother Keming to marry Mrs. Gao's grandson." It couldn't be more suitable, what does Master Gao think?"

Naturally, Gao Bufan has no objection, and this matter has to be run between Zhuojun and Luoyang. Once Wei Zheng leaves, there will be no one to deal with the affairs around him, so he will definitely be very busy. Now that the marriage is handed over to Du Ruhui, he will be much more relaxed. So he immediately agreed and asked Du Ruhui for his opinion.

Du Ruhui had no objection. Marriage is a major event in life. Gao Bufan was able to entrust such an important matter to himself as a newcomer. This trust moved him very much, so he was very motivated and determined to do things beautifully.

In a blink of an eye, the first month is over, and spring plowing has begun in Anle County and Yuyang County. As the saying goes, the plan for a year lies in spring. Whether the harvest is good or not, spring plowing is especially important, and the economic base determines the superstructure. There is no economic base. If the military salary cannot be paid, then everything is a castle in the sky.

Therefore, for the next period of time, the focus of Gao Bufan and Wei Zheng's work will be to pay close attention to production, while Yuchi Jingde will concentrate on training soldiers. As for the newcomer Du Ruhui, he will run away between Zhuojun and Luoyang.

It is said that on the day when the dragon raised its head on the second day of February, the censor Pei Yun also returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and reported to Yang Guang everything he saw in Anle County.

After hearing this, Yang Guang finally felt relieved. Although Gao Bufan had recruited far more troops than Yingyang Mansion's quota, he only got [-] soldiers. In his opinion, that's not too much. Eight thousand standing troops are definitely not many, and even a little insufficient. His psychological bottom line is that Gao Bufan will recruit [-] to [-] troops. It can be seen that Gao Bufan is very "sensible" and did not take the opportunity to expand his troops desperately. This is better than other border towns. The generals have more rules.

"In addition, I have already checked Cui's iron mine in Anle County. The accounts are clear and the whereabouts of the iron materials are well documented. There is no problem!" Pei Yun said.

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words. It seemed that he was worrying unnecessarily, and asked again: "What about the black dragon?"

Pei Yun replied: "The minister has inquired and obtained evidence from many sources. This is true. Gao Changqing did kill a black python in the Black Dragon Pool at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. The python's head and horns are so tall that it is estimated that it will turn into a jellyfish. The local people carried it Parade in the street, many relatives saw it, so it shouldn’t be fake!”

"So, Gao Changqing really descended to earth?" Yang Guang's eyes flickered.

Pei Yun said: "I dare not draw conclusions, but Gao Changqing has never been defeated."

Yang Guang thoughtfully, waved his hand and said: "Pei Qing's family has worked hard, let's go back, reward [-] qian, [-] bolts of silk, go home and rest for a few days, and come back to court after rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Pei Yun saluted and exited the hall.

Yang Guang picked up the imperial pen and said with a smile: "Since you are a general, why don't I use it? I will send you to assist Duan Da in destroying Wang Xuba and his gang. If it works, I will believe that you are the general."

……

Chunhua Square.

Changsun Wuji saw Du Ruhui off, and went to Changsun Wugou's room with a letter of appointment in his hand, smiling.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou was talking with his mother, Gao Shi, when he saw his elder brother coming in with a letter, he immediately guessed what it was, couldn't help but his pretty face became hot, he was a little excited and a little nervous, Gao Lang finally wanted to Have you married yourself?
Changsun Wuji handed the letter of appointment to his mother Gao and said, "Mother, Changqing ordered someone to bring the letter of appointment. It is initially scheduled to celebrate the grand ceremony on the sixth day of June and welcome the relatives on the eighth day of August."

The servant said with a smile: "Congratulations girl, my uncle will come to Luoyang to pick you up on the eighth day of August."

Changsun Wugou's cheeks fluttered immediately, and he said angrily: "I'm listening, I want you to talk more."

The servant said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the girl is too happy, so I didn't hear clearly!"

Mrs. Gao is also very happy at the moment, now that Gao Bufan is in the post of Tongshou in Yuyang, his rank is the fourth rank, his rank is the fourth rank, how amazing, thinking that his husband was only the third rank when he was alive, Wugou can marry such a How can Mrs. Gao not be happy about an excellent young talent?Moreover, Chang Qing is a loving and righteous child, he put himself in it to save Shi Lian back then, if Wu Gou marries him, he will definitely be very happy in the future.

"Wugou, is your wedding dress ready? You will leave the cabinet in half a year, so don't delay." Gao asked.

Changsun Wugou nodded and said softly, "Almost everything is done."

In ancient times, when women got married, most of the wedding dresses were made by themselves. This is a display of talent to show the bride's ingenuity.

After hearing this, Gao felt relieved, and said with a smile: "My son's needlework is very good, so I don't think mother should worry about it."

Changsun Wuji jokingly said: "That's right, Changqing already knew that Changqing bought all the embroidery, sweat scarves and nets that Guanyin's maidservant made before."

When mentioning the previous incident, Changsun Wugou couldn't help but blush, and at the same time, there was a trace of sweetness in his heart.

Seeing her daughter's shy and happy appearance, Gao was also in a good mood. It is undoubtedly a blessing to be able to marry such a capable and considerate man.
