At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 509
After Cui Hu and his son Cui Jiuling attended Gao Bufan's reception banquet, they returned home. The father and son chatted while drinking tea to digest food in the living room.

"It's no wonder my father admires Gao Changqing so much. When I saw him today, this son is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men. He treats everyone well and makes people feel like a spring breeze. The child feels ashamed!" Cui Jiuling sighed.

Cui Hu smiled and said: "This is where it is. After a long time of contact, you will know how different Changqing is. Treating people is just a superficial skill. To understand a person, you have to understand his inner self. Qing's structure, vision, and knowledge are all seen in my father's life, among other things, the new accounting method he taught my father is undoubtedly subversive."

Cui Jiuling nodded approvingly. Gao Changqing invented the (Arabic) numerals and the tabular bookkeeping method. He has studied it. Compared with the traditional journal bookkeeping method, he does not know how many times more intuitive and efficient. It is indeed a subversive progress.

In addition, Cui Jiuling also learned that Gao Bufan has a magic class, and he personally teaches some knowledge of physics and chemistry.Cui Jiuling has studied hard for more than ten years. He has read a lot of books, but he has never heard of these so-called physics and chemistry knowledge. The more he understands, the more he is shocked.

Cui Hu glanced at his son and said with a smile: "Why, are you still complaining that your father called you back from Chang'an?"

Cui Jiuling couldn't help being slightly embarrassed. These years, he has been studying between Luoyang and Chang'an, looking for famous teachers everywhere, increasing his experience and knowledge.

However, the situation in the Sui Dynasty was deteriorating year by year. At this time, Yang Guang actually wanted to patrol Jiangdu, wasting money and people, so Cui Jiuling doubted the way to become an official through the imperial examination. Is such a Sui still worthy of his allegiance?
Just when Cui Jiuling was hesitating, his father Cui Hu sent someone to Chang'an to find him, saying that the Wagang thieves were getting bigger and bigger. Once Yang Guang left Luoyang to patrol Jiangdu, the Central Plains might be dominated by Wagang thieves. Stop it, fearing that it will be difficult to return home, let Cui Jiuling go back to Qinghe County as soon as possible.

Cui Jiuling traveled abroad for several years, and was also homesick, so he packed his bags and rushed back to Qinghe County. When he got home, he found that his parents and younger sister had moved to Zhuo County, and most of the Cui family's property in Qinghe had also moved. Immediately realized that it was unusual, and hurried to Zhuojun to meet his family.

When he learned that the family had bet on Gao Bufan and that his father even decided to marry his younger sister Cui Shirou to Gao Bufan, Cui Jiuling was quite critical. He felt that such an important decision was too hasty. The girl is the main wife, so is the younger sister going to marry Gao Changqing as a concubine?When did the Qinghe Cui family fall to this point!
However, it didn't take long for Gao Bufan to be promoted to stay behind in Zhuojun. The number one leader in Youzhou area, the third-rank official and the frontier official, in view of the current situation in the Sui Dynasty, undoubtedly ceded the land and became the king, so Cui Jiuling remained silent up.

In the future, Gao Changqing will be the boss of the land in Youzhou, and the Qinghe Cui family will have to shelter thousands of people under his wing. Marriage seems to be the best choice!

But seeing Gao Bufan's demeanor today, Cui Jiuling finally changed his mind completely, and had to admire his father's vision. Jiang is still old and hot. At this time, there is still room for "marriage" to marry his younger sister to Gao Changqing. I'm afraid it will be later. Even the chance to "marry" is gone.

Seeing his son's silence, Cui Hu knew that his son, who was humble on the surface but proud in heart, had already been convinced, and said: "Changqing is thirsty for talent now, with my son's talent, I should still be able to get into Changqing's eyes, another day As a father, how about recommending Ling'er to Chang Qing with the cheek?"

Cui Jiuling hesitated and said, "This... I'm afraid it's not very good."

"As the saying goes, to be a virtuous person is not to avoid relatives, and to be a father is not to be afraid of losing face. What are you afraid of?" Cui Hu asked.

Cui Jiuling shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, outsiders will always spread some gossip when they see it. The boy's reputation is not important, but it will be bad if the reputation of Mr. Gao is damaged. Let's wait."

Cui Hu smiled and said: "Alright, when Luo Yi is eliminated, Changqing should be able to set up a mansion and install officials, and then he can openly recruit talents, and my son can go to apply for the job openly, blocking the public's mouth. "

Cui Jiuling wondered: "Luo Yi's military strength is not weak, and he occupies a favorable location. Why is father so sure that Mr. Gao can destroy Luo Yi?"

"Because Changqing is a star descending to earth, he has not failed since his debut." Cui Hu said confidently.

In fact, Cui Hu's confidence is not only derived from Gao Bufan's record, but also because he knows that Luo Yi has been in Xu Shiji's "calculation" all the time, and the final outcome can be imagined.

What's more, Gao Changqing is now under the emperor's order, holding Shangfang's sword, occupying the commanding heights of righteousness, and firmly holding the initiative in his hands. To say that you, Luo Yi, are rebelling is rebellion. If you take the initiative to attack the passive, the final outcome is also predictable.

Therefore, Luo Yi's final failure is a high-probability event. The key depends on how Gao Changqing operates, whether it is outsmarting or the enemy!

Outsmarting is undoubtedly a low-cost method, and the loss of a strong enemy is a bit big. After all, Luo Yi is not a vegetarian. He has more than ten thousand elite soldiers under his command, and they are still guarding the key points!
Cui Jiuling frowned and said, "Could it be that father really thinks that Gao Changqing is a descendant of the stars?"

Cui Hu smiled and said: "The black dragon that Changqing killed had a horny head. It was seen by my father. Could it be fake?"

In fact, it was Cui Hu who sent people to spread the rumor that Gao Bufan was going down to the earth, but now, even Cui Hu himself seems to be convinced of it.

Cui Jiuling took a deep breath and said, "Okay, if it's true as my father said, Gao Changqing will open a government office and build a mansion in the future, and my son will go to recommend himself."

Cui Hu stroked his beard and nodded, then pointed to the wooden box under his feet and said: "Chang Qing brought this back to Rou'er from Luoyang, Ling'er, send it to Rou'er later."

Hearing this, Cui Jiuling felt more balanced, and frowned, "It seems that Mr. Gao cares about his younger sister, and even brought her a special souvenir, but this is not in line with his identity."

Cui Hu said: "This is in the name of the Changsun family!" After finishing speaking, he sighed and said, "I have heard about the virtuous name of Changsun Wugou for a long time, and she really deserves her reputation. Tsk tsk, this heart, this wrist, Rou'er Not as good as her."

Hearing this, Cui Jiuling couldn't help showing a look of thought, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said, "That's true. In this way, this girl not only showed her willingness to accept her sister, but also showed her status as a wife. My son heard that the eldest grandson In order to dispel Yang Guang's suspicion of Mrs. Gao, she voluntarily stayed in Luoyang, tsk tsk, this woman is really remarkable, not to mention Rou'er's cute and weak temperament, no one can compete with Changsun's!"

Cui Hu nodded approvingly. At first he was a little unconvinced, thinking that his daughter was no worse than anyone else, but now he has to admit that Changsun Wugou is indeed better!
Being able to defeat the opponent is not a skill, but being able to defeat the opponent and convince the opponent is the real skill!

Cui Jiuling took the gift to the backyard.

When Cui Shirou saw it, she happily greeted her, and while looking behind her, she asked sweetly, "Where is brother from?"

Cui Jiuling looked dotingly at her little sister with bright eyes and bright teeth, and picturesque features, and joked, "Don't look, Gao Changqing is not here."

Cui Shirou's cheeks suddenly glowed, and she said in a goofy way: "Brother, what are you talking about, people didn't see it!"

In fact, Cui Shirou already knew that Gao Bufan was here today, and also knew that her father and elder brother had gone to the gate of the city to greet her, so she was very happy and looking forward to it today.

Cui Jiuling smiled and said, "I still said I didn't watch it, you blushed when you told a lie, I don't know you yet."

"Rou'er is lying! Rou'er is lying!" The green parrot yelled again in disgust.

As a result, Cui Shirou's face turned even redder, and Cui Jiuling smiled and said, "Okay, brother won't tease you, although Gao Changqing didn't come, but he brought you a gift, well, it's all in the box."

"Ah!" Cui Shirou was both ashamed and happy, looking at the wooden box that Cui Jiuling was holding with eyes full of surprise, and said in a stuttering voice, "This is...Brother Gao brought it to Rou'er?"

Shu'er smiled and said: "Master Gao really cares about the girl, Da Lang, let me help you."

Cui Jiuling smiled and said, "It's a bit heavy, you can't carry it, I'll do it!" Then he lifted the box into the room.

Without waiting for Cui Shirou to speak, Shu'er opened the box impatiently, and found that it was full of snacks, which were nuts such as almonds and pine nuts, as well as preserved foods such as preserved fruits.

"Wow!" Shu Er exclaimed in excitement, girls seem to be born with no immunity to snacks, Cui Shirou is also very happy, a little embarrassed said: "Brother Gao actually brought so many snacks to Rou Er."

Cui Jiuling smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that these souvenirs were actually given to you by Mrs. Changsun."

Cui Shirou was stunned for a moment, and then said in a dazed way: "It turns out... so it was elder sister Changsun Wugou, oh, Mrs. Gao gave it to me."

Cui Jiuling pointed to the small wooden box at the corner of the box, and said, "This should not contain snacks."

Cui Shirou sullenly picked up the wooden box and opened the lid, her mood suddenly became more complicated.Cui Jiuling glanced at it and found that it contained some jewelry, and asked with a smile, "Your sister doesn't like it?"

Cui Shirou hurriedly said: "I like it, Mrs. Gao really has a heart."

Cui Shirou was delicate and sentimental, knowing that these gifts were actually given by her eldest grandson Wugou, she naturally felt that they were declaring "sovereignty", and she was inevitably depressed.

Cui Jiuling obviously guessed what his sister was thinking, and said with a smile: "By the way, Mrs. Changsun also asked Mr. Gao to bring you a sentence."

"What... what are you talking about?" Cui Shirou suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Ms. Changsun sends hello to you, sister. I heard that you have a talking parrot, so she also wants to ask you to help domesticate one!"

"Ah? Okay!" Cui Shirou's bright eyes lit up immediately, and her mood improved inexplicably.

Seeing this, Cui Jiuling had to lament once again that Changsun's grasp of people's hearts is thorough. If it was just a gift, it would inevitably appear a bit condescending and a bit of a declaration of status, but after giving the gift, he asked his sister to help tame the parrot. The taste of the two faded away, and the distance between each other was shortened, high!

So it’s the same with other people in normal times. If your family background is good and your status is high, and your friend’s family background is weak and your status is low, you will always help the other party. Over time, the other party will most likely alienate you because of low self-esteem. So, occasionally ask the other party to help you, or Inviting you to a meal is also a brilliant technique to maintain friendship.

There is no doubt that Changsun Wugou's move is very clever!
