At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 484

Gao Shilian's house in Yongxingfang was decorated with lanterns and festoons today, full of guests, it was very lively, I saw Changsun Wuji and Changsun Heng'an brothers dressed in new clothes, standing in front of the door politely to welcome guests.

Today is a good day for Avalokitesvara's servant girl to have a big gift. Although it is not a formal wedding reception day, it is still very grand, inviting relatives and friends to a banquet to celebrate.

Because the house in Chunhuafang was too narrow, and the eldest grandson Wuji brothers and sisters regarded him as a father, it was decided to hold the grand ceremony at the uncle's house, and the house of the uncle's house had a front and back yard, which was just right for male guests and The female relatives eat separately.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, no one knows you in the busy city, but if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains.When the elder Sun Wuji and the others were kicked out of the house and sent to others, even during the holidays, there were very few relatives to visit them, especially during the period when Gao Shilian was imprisoned, no one cared about them, but now, there are so many guests , In an endless stream, even family members outside of the five clothes did not know where to come out.

Of course, the visitor is a guest, today is a good day for my sister, Changsun Wuji doesn't care about these things, he greets her with a smile, and invites him to enter the house politely.

"Fourth Uncle is here." Changsun Hengan suddenly reminded.

Changsun Wuji raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw his fourth uncle, Changsun Chang, getting off the carriage with his family members and walking towards this side, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Wuji has seen Fourth Uncle, Auntie and all brothers and sisters. "

"Heng An has met Fourth Uncle, Aunt, and brothers and sisters." The eldest grandson Heng An also hurriedly saluted.

Changsun Chang is about more than 30 years old, and he is somewhat similar to Changsun Sheng. He currently holds the post of Kuzhi, a military officer of the palace guards, and his position is neither high nor low.

It is said that Changsun Sheng has three brothers in total, two older brothers and one younger brother. This Changsun Chang in front of him is the younger brother of Changsun Sheng, that is, the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Hengan, and the only living direct relative. Elder, because the eldest Sun Sheng himself and his two elder brothers have both passed away.

Changsun Chang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "You two nephews don't need to be too polite, today is a good day for Guanyin's maidservants to celebrate big gifts, third uncle and aunt brought gifts." After speaking, he waved his hand, and the servants picked out the gifts. Ten loads of gift boxes are fully loaded, implying perfection.

"The third uncle and the third aunt are too polite, it's just a big gift, it's not a wedding day, so there's no need to be so grand." Changsun Wuji said a little uneasy.

The eldest grandson waved his hands solemnly and said: "Since the second and third elder brothers left, the wedding of Guanyin's maidservant is the first big happy event in our eldest grandson's family. , third uncle also has a generous gift."

"Yes, Wugou married a third-rank general in our family. It's something to be proud of, and it can't be too grand." Changsun Chang's wife, Wang Shi, echoed with a smile. Show envy.

After exchanging greetings, they were about to enter the door when Changsun Shunde and Changsun Anye arrived with two altars of daughter Hong. When the latter saw Changsun Chang, he was scared and hid behind Changsun Shunde.

It turned out that after the eldest Sun Anye drove the eldest Sun Wuji's family out, he was severely scolded by his uncle, the eldest Sun Chang, and when he saw this uncle again, he would detour like a mouse seeing a cat. .

Changsun Wuji's expression darkened when he saw that his bad brother came uninvited, and Changsun Chang also raised his face. Does this unworthy nephew still have face?

"Brother Chang, sister-in-law, hehe, what a coincidence!" The eldest Sun Shunde came forward and greeted with a smile, and everyone could smell the smell of alcohol on him from a distance.

Changsun Chang frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. He looked down on him, a brother who was not doing business and was drinking all day, from the bottom of his heart. He nodded as a response, and turned to the eldest grandson Anye who was behind Changsun Shunde. He shouted: "Nie Zhan, how long do you want to hide?"

The eldest grandson Anye had no choice but to stand up, blushing and said: "Nephew has met fourth uncle and fourth aunt."

Wang said with a fake smile: "You child is really ignorant. You came to the door with two jars of wine. Guanyin's maidservant is your own sister, and she doesn't know how to give a generous gift. Let's forget about it as a family. Wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to see it!" After speaking, he glanced at Changsun Shunde intentionally or unintentionally, with a strong sense of irony.

When the grandson Anye saw the ten loads of gift boxes brought by the fourth uncle Changsun Chang, his complexion became even redder, and he said in a good manner: "It's my nephew who was negligent. Next time... the next time the groom comes to pick up the bride, I will make it up."

Changsun Wuji said lightly: "No need, fourth uncle and fourth aunt, Uncle Shunde, please come inside!" After speaking, he turned around and led everyone in.

Changsun Anye's face turned red and then turned pale. Although Changsun Wuji didn't invite him in, he didn't drive him away either, so he followed him in and sat down cheekily.

The male guests sat in the front yard, while the female relatives gathered in the backyard. Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was a joyous experience.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, Du Ruhui led the dowry presenting team. It was very lively, and all kinds of dowry gifts were discharged from the front yard to dozens of meters on the street. Want wedding food and wedding cakes.

During the banquet, the eldest grandson Shunde only cared about drinking good wine, and the elder grandson Anye also got used to the embarrassment, and chatted with a group of like-minded young clansmen. Naturally, the topics couldn't be separated from walking chickens and dogs, looking for pleasure in brothels and so on. .

At this time, Changsun Anye suddenly woke up to something, and said mysteriously: "This morning, Uncle Shunde and I encountered a strange thing while drinking by the Luoshui River. Do you want to know?"

"What's so strange? Could it be that you guys were drunk and met the Luoshui River God just like Cao Qibu?"

"I'm afraid I saw a dominatrix, and I was so scared that I peed my pants, hahaha!"

Changsun Anye rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still want to hear it? Don't interrupt if you want to hear it."

All the dandies fell silent upon hearing the words, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Hengan were greeting guests nearby, they subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Anye said proudly: "Isn't the emperor going to visit Jiangdu after the Mid-Autumn Festival? The Ministry of Industry is looking for someone to dredge the Luoshui river. Hey, just this morning, someone picked up a golden stone tablet from the bottom of the river! "

Hey, this product is really embellished, even the adjectives are used!

"Hey, is it a stone tablet made of gold? Tsk tsk, how much is that worth?" Everyone at the same table became interested immediately.

The eldest grandson Anye coughed lightly and said, "It's not made of gold, it's just the sun shining on it, it looks golden, cough, that's not the point!"

All the dudes booed immediately, and their interest dropped greatly!
The eldest grandson Anye hurriedly said: "Although the stele is not made of gold, the characters engraved on it are very strange."

"Sanlang, don't be a fool, what are the characters engraved on it?"

The eldest grandson Anye stood up, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "It is engraved on it: Yingyang Youyan, Gao Shi is the king, hehe, be shocked, my sister-in-law will be the one who will be the king in the future."

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other when they heard it, and the surroundings gradually quieted down. Changsun Wuji's face changed slightly, and he walked quickly to Changsun Anye, and shouted with a livid face: "Changsun Anye, don't be fooling people here, get out of here!" Get out, you are not welcome here."

The eldest grandson Anye blushed and said angrily: "What do you mean by gossip to confuse people? This is a true story that Uncle Shunde and I have seen with our own eyes. If you don't believe it, ask Uncle Shunde yourself."

"Get out, or else, I'll ask someone to drive you out!" Changsun Wuji was furious. Today is a good day for Guanyin's maidservant to celebrate a grand ceremony. He didn't want to care about Sun Anye, but this guy didn't know how to restrain himself after he came in. It's fine to talk high-spirited with the clansmen, but even arranges for Changqing to become king, his heart is to be punished!
"Let's go, let's see how long your eldest grandson Wuji can hold his air. If Uncle Shunde hadn't invited me to come with him again and again, I wouldn't want to come!" The eldest grandson Anye flicked his sleeves and left the courtyard resentfully.

"Oh, nephew Anye, Wuji... You have wrongly blamed him for this matter. Such a stone tablet has indeed been picked up in the Luohe River. Uncle Shunde, I have seen it with my own eyes. It is not nephew Anye's nonsense." Changsun Shunde shook Nodding.

Changsun Wuji's complexion changed, and Changsun Hengan frowned and said angrily, "It's clear that someone is sowing dissension and trying to harm Gao Changqing, it's really unreasonable!"

Changsun Shunde pulled Changsun Wuji aside and said in a low voice: "Wuji, this matter is big or small, Gao Changqing's life depends on the emperor's thought, do you think the marriage between Gao Changqing and Guanyin's maid is temporarily put on hold? Wait until the turmoil subsides after a while?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at the drunken-eyed uncle in surprise, shook his head and said, "Why did Uncle Shunde say that? This is just a clumsy solicitation method by someone with evil intentions. Even ordinary people can't be fooled, let alone the emperor." , the emperor will definitely not believe it."

Changsun Shunde repeatedly shook his head and said: "Wuji, you are still too young to understand the emperor's mind. The emperor always prefers to believe in things like this, not to believe in nothing. Although the idea is old, it works!"

Changsun Wuji's heart sank slightly, he nodded and said: "Uncle Shunde's words are not unreasonable, but this is not a reason to put aside the marriage. The marriage between Changqing and Guanyin's maid was personally arranged by my uncle. It is written in black and white in the marriage letter, The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the witnesses of heaven and earth, how can they be invalidated just because of a mere rumor? If my eldest grandson’s family betrays their trust and righteousness because of this, how is it different from animals?”

The eldest grandson Shunde blushed, nodded and said: "Nephew Wuji is right, but Uncle Shunde also had good intentions, shelving does not mean canceling, but also talking about treachery, well, you can make up your own mind on this matter." After finishing the banquet, he continued to drink drowsily.

Changsun Wuji and Changsun Hengan looked at each other, and continued to welcome the guests to eat and drink, but something happened, and the atmosphere was obviously not as lively as it was at the beginning. After the banquet, everyone stood up one after another to say goodbye and leave.

Changsun Wuji forced a smile on his face and sent the guests out.

"Wuji, you don't have to worry too much about the stele. Your majesty is wise. How could you cut off your arm because of such a cheap method? Now Gao Changqing is the emperor's right-hand man." Changsun Chang comforted Changsun Wuji in a low voice. , but his dignified expression betrayed him.

Obviously, Changsun Chang couldn't tell whether Yang Guang would suspect Gao Bufan because of this.

Changsun Wuji forced a smile and said, "Nephew is not worried, but such a despicable method is really shameless."

Changsun Chang said angrily: "That's right, I don't know which wicked bastard did it, but it's a mediocrity not to attract others' envy, which just proves Gao Changqing's excellence, well, you have to remind Gao Changqing to be more cautious in the near future, and don't let people Hold on to the mistakes."

"Nephew understands, Fourth Uncle, go slowly!" Changsun Wuji agreed and sent Changsun Chang out of the house.
