Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 280

Those who participated in the banquet for Gao Cheng's farewell were not only civil and military dignitaries, but also a seat in Nanzhao's mansion.

And Nanzhaojun is not an outsider, but Gao Cheng's cousin Gao Rui.

Gao Rui, who was about to turn six years old, looked at Hu Luxian singing loudly in the field, and could only clap his hands happily, while Yuan Jiyan, who was seated with him, had all his warm eyes on Gao Cheng.

In fact, Gao Cheng felt Yuan Jiyan's affection as early as five years ago. At that time, she once said that she would chant scriptures and pray for herself.

As a result, Nanzhao Duke's Mansion has since added a Zen room, which has never been empty in the past five years.

But Gao Cheng didn't dare to respond, he could be happy with Aunt Yuwen without any psychological burden, even if her husband-in-law Qiu Yuan was in Chang'an.

The enemy and the enemy are clearly distinguished, and this is a life-and-death confrontation between you and me, Gao Cheng has no sense of guilt.

But Yuan Jiyan was different after all.

There is indeed an obstacle between him and Yuan Jiyan, but it is not insurmountable.

If you really want to go all out, ethics and morality are nothing. Li Zhi can marry his father's woman, and Li Longji can rob his son's wife.

An aunt who has been widowed for many years, after a hundred years of Gao Huan, if Gao Cheng is determined, who can stop her.

But he cared too much about his reputation, otherwise he wouldn't have flatly rejected Zheng Dache's overtures back then.

Gao Rui seemed to have sensed it, and looked back at his mother, following her line of sight, the smile on his little face also disappeared.

He was a precocious child. When he read "Book of Filial Piety" when he was four years old, he sobbed and couldn't swallow when he read "Zi Yu Shi Fu".

Although she doesn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman, she can feel Yuan Jiyan's special feelings towards Gao Cheng.

Gao Rui never said anything, he didn't know how to face this complicated relationship.

It should be reprimanded by the mother for not being able to keep her own law and order, and keeping the festival for the father who was beaten to death for having an affair with his concubine's wife.

Or should let the freedom go, let the mother keep a memory.

Yuan Jiyan noticed that Gao Rui's mood had become depressed, she lowered her head and said in concern:
"What's the matter, aren't you feeling well?"

Gao Rui leaned into Yuan Jiyan's arms, and said softly:

"Mom, will you not want me?"

Yuan Jiyan smiled lightly and said:

"Stop thinking about it, Grandmother only has Rui'er, so how could she not want you."

After finishing speaking, he fondly stroked his son's head.

"But what if you have a big brother?"

Yuan Jiyan was stunned when she heard the words, and her hands stopped. She never expected that her son would reveal her thoughts.

"Don't listen to gossip."

Yuan Jiyan tried to calm down.

Every year there are rumors about the relationship between Gao Cheng and Yuan Jiyan.

As we all know, Gao Cheng loves the widows of the Yuan family the most. Whether it is a daughter of the Yuan family or a daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, they are all his treasures.

It was no secret that Gao Cheng spoke for Yuan Jiyan twice, hoping to leave Gao Rui with his mother to raise him.

The combination of the two would be a rare thing if there were no rumors about Gao Cheng and Yuan Jiyan spreading.

Gao Rui didn't say any more, but just shrank into Yuan Jiyan's arms, hugging him tightly.

A banquet, the host and guest enjoy themselves.

Gao Cheng bid farewell to a group of Jinyang important officials outside the door, and everyone dispersed, but Gao Rui complained of abdominal pain and wanted to go to the toilet, but refused to let Yuan Jiyan follow.

So Gao Cheng and Yuan Jiyan stood outside the stone steps and waited.

"Did he do it on purpose?"

Under the moonlight, Gao Cheng suddenly asked.

Yuan Jiyan only focused on looking at her own shadow and didn't speak.

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Jiyan hastily stuffed something into Gao Cheng's hand when the sound of brisk footsteps came from inside the mansion gate.

"I asked for you, and I planned to see you off tomorrow."

The tone is quick, but the voice is like a mosquito.

Gao Cheng opened his hand to look, it turned out to be a Dao Ping An Talisman.

Looking at this object, Gao Cheng smiled knowingly, he doesn't believe in Buddha, otherwise he wouldn't destroy Buddha to make himself full.

But this does not prevent Gao Cheng from solemnly putting away the amulet.

"Thank you."

Just as Gao Cheng finished thanking him, he heard Gao Rui's voice:

"Mum, brother, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Watching their mother and child leave, Gao Cheng took out the safety talisman again, looked at it for a while, and asked Xue Hu'er to find a red string, and tied it around his neck.

On the way back to Nangong Mansion, the slaves held the lamps in front, and Gao Rui playfully stepped on the shadows.

Yuan Jiyan suddenly took his hand.

"What's wrong with Mom?"

"Thank you, Ruier."

In the early morning of the next day, there was another bustling scene outside the Bohai Prince's Mansion. The younger brothers said goodbye to their biological mother, and each cried into tears.

Gao Cheng looked at Lou Zhaojun who was embracing and crying with Gao Yan and Gao Zhan, and then turned his head to look at Gao Hao not far away, whose eyes were full of envy.

After thinking for a while, Gao Cheng quickly walked over, took Gao Hao's hand, and said with a soft smile:
"Brother Fei, come, go with brother to say goodbye to your two nephews."

Gao Yu was immediately distracted, and followed Gao Cheng to play with brothers Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu.

At some point, Gao Huan came over and said softly to Gao Cheng:

"Your mother was pampered and spoiled since she was a child, and she never suffered. She had a difficult delivery when she was a child, and she almost killed her. That's why she is like this."

"The child knows, but the father and the king should also persuade the mother and the concubine."

Gao Cheng looked at his two sons and replied.

"I can't see you a few times a year. There is no difference between persuasion and non-persuasion. It is better to follow her heart and really make her feel wronged in Huaishuo. What's more, compared to your mother, you, the elder brother should be responsible.”

In the early years, Gao Huan relied more on his wife, but now that he is old, he always thinks about the past, so that he can't speak hard.

"It's not easy for a child to work on state affairs day and night, to find time to take care of his younger brothers' studies."

Gao Cheng called Qu Dao.

"Hmph! If you have time to hang out with the women of Yuwen's family, when you talk about guarding brothers, just talk to me about your busy schedule."

Confused by Gao Huan's words, Gao Cheng didn't refute anymore, so he had no choice but to promise that he would spend more time on his brothers in the future.

When talking about discipline, Gao Cheng turned his head to look at Gao Zhan in Lou Zhaojun's arms.

Gao Zhan is over two years old and looks like a porcelain doll. Among all the younger brothers, he is the most beautiful.

This also made Gao Cheng frown. After all, the beast Lao Jiu in history was famous for his handsome appearance and majestic appearance when he was young.

As beautiful as it looks on the outside, it is as vicious as it is on the inside.

Gao Cheng thought to himself, he was afraid that in two years time he would have to give this ninth younger brother a moral course and receive the same treatment as Gao Yang.

Yan Ji and the other four were in the same carriage, and since they got the definite news yesterday that their two sons, Qiu Bin and Qiu Chong, were no longer engaged in hard labor, Aunt Yuwen, who had let go of her last concern, became more and more radiant.

The three sisters-in-law are still worried about whether they can return to Chang'an, but she is looking forward to the arrival of the envoy to redeem people later, so that they can spend more time with Gao Cheng.

In fact, she has been waiting for Gao Cheng to persuade him to stay these days, but the other party has never said anything.

Aunt Yuwen secretly planned that the next time he came to find her own happiness, she must ask him about his attitude.
