On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 454 Open and honest

When the sky was bright, Chen Ji led the officials of Suizhou, big and small, to wait for King Yan at the gate of the city.

The North Gate is still under the control of Yuchi Jingde, after all, it was Cui Che who was careless last night, and Chen Ji and others sincerely took refuge.

When Cui Che led the soldiers to the north gate, he comforted the officials of Suizhou, and the handover of the city went smoothly.

Changsun Wuji was drowsy, but he still cheered up and stayed by his mother's side. It's just that the eyes of those Suizhou officials looking at his mother, although they had no lewd thoughts, made Zhangsun Wuji very angry.

The ingratiating look in his eyes clearly showed Mrs. Changsun as King Yan's new favorite.

Mrs. Changsun felt extremely embarrassed by these gazes, but she couldn't dodge them.

The family returned to Changsun's Mansion, perhaps because returning home gave Changsun Wuji a little sense of security, he couldn't bear the sleepiness any longer, and went back to his own room and fell asleep.

Of course Cui Che heard about the eldest grandson Wuji who stayed up all night and stayed outside his mother's tent.

He just shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't mean to blame him. Protecting his mother and sister is the duty of a son and an elder brother.

In the afternoon, a servant shook Changsun Wuji awake and said urgently:

"Xiao Langjun, King Yan has come to the mansion."

Before going to bed, Changsun Wuji told his servant that once Cui Che came to the door or his mother was picked up, no matter how soundly he slept, he had to wake him up.

Changsun Wuji heard that Cui Che came to the door, so he was still sleepy, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, he rushed to his mother's bedroom wearing only pajamas, but he didn't find anyone in the bedroom until he heard from the servant that the mistress had gone to the main hall for a meeting Only then did Changsun Wuji feel relieved.

He thought to himself: No matter how licentious Cui Che is, he would not be so bold as to bully his mother in the main hall.

He just didn't know about Gao Yang's deeds. The master raped his wife's sister in the brother-in-law's mourning hall.

Of course, Cui Che was not as presumptuous as Gao Yang.

When Changsun Wuji hurried to the main hall, Cui Che was feeding the Guanyin maidservants candies one by one.

Looking at the smile on Guanyin's servant girl's face, it seemed that she was no longer afraid of this strange middle-aged man.

The eldest grandson Wuji took his sister away from Cui Che, and Cui Che said helplessly:

"You don't have to be so wary of me."

The eldest grandson Wuji kept silent, but he stood between his mother and Cui Che, separating the two, and he had already expressed his attitude.

Cui Che stared at his eldest grandson Wuji's immature face, which revealed a kind of determination, and couldn't help but love this child even more.

It is better to protect mother and sister wholeheartedly without fear of power than to sell mother and younger sister for a good price and take them for rich animals.

Cui Che restrained his face and said seriously:
"This king is in charge of Suizhou City today. There are many affairs waiting for me to deal with in the city. The reason why I took time out of my busy schedule to visit is to reassure you.

"You are a dutiful son and a good elder brother. Gu admires you very much. From now on, you will be by Gu's side as a follower, so that you can work for Gu, and Gu will protect your family.

"It's just an ugly word first. Although Gu will not force your mother, if bad news comes from Kansai and your mother remarries voluntarily, I hope you will not obstruct it.

"I will marry her openly, instead of letting her be an unnamed concubine."

Changsun Wuji was very surprised, he didn't expect Cui Che to say these words openly and honestly.

But Mrs. Changsun's pretty face was slightly flushed, but her heart was much calmer.

Obviously, before Changsun Wuji came to the main hall, Cui Che had already told her about remarrying after becoming a widow.

Mrs. Changsun was only 13 years old when she made a sequel to Changsun Sheng.

It is unrealistic to say how passionately a 13-year-old girl loved the then 42-year-old Changsun Sheng.

This is purely because his father, Gao Mai, as the clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, took his daughter as a victim of marriage in order to cling to Guan Longxun's eldest grandson.

Mrs. Changsun finally agreed to Cui Che's request.

At a critical moment, Changsun Sheng abandoned his wife and son and escaped alone. Not only Changsun Wuji was disappointed with him, but Mrs. Changsun was also dissatisfied with her husband.

In fact, as early as last night on the way to the Eastern Sui camp, Mrs. Changsun was already mentally prepared to bow down and serve Cui Che.

Man is a knife, I am a fish, even if it is for my children, I have to endure humiliation.

It's just that she never expected that Cui Che would actually be considerate of herself, and would be willing to suppress her desires and wait for her to get rid of the shackles of a married woman.

The mighty King Yan was known as Mei Cui Lang when he was young, and he was also one of the most beautiful men in the Sui Dynasty, otherwise Yang Lihua would not change his ambition for him.

Now that people are middle-aged, even if they are 37 years old, their attractiveness to women continues unabated.

Cui Che is so considerate of himself, and is willing to give her a title in the future, how can Madam Changsun refuse such tenderness.

Changsun Wuji turned his head to look at his mother in astonishment, Mrs. Changsun did not show any anger because of Cui Che's frankness, but lowered her head to avoid her gaze.

Seeing his mother like this, with the wisdom of the eldest grandson Wuji, he immediately understood what she wanted.

In today's era, the atmosphere is relatively open, and women have not been tortured and imprisoned by Neo-Confucianism. It is also very common for women to remarry with their children after losing their husbands.

As a son of man, it is impossible for Changsun Wuji to force Mrs. Changsun to observe festivals for him after Changsun Sheng passed away.

Although the chastity archway appeared in the Qin Dynasty, but for the sake of a chastity archway, forcing a woman to remain a widow for a lifetime will have to wait until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Changsun Wuji turned his head, looked at Cui Che, and said word by word:

"I also hope that the king will remember what he said today, and will not violate the wishes of his mother. Wuji is willing to serve the king and do the work of dogs and horses."

After saying these words, Changsun Wuji finally let go of the big rock in his heart, and felt a lot more relaxed.

And Cui Che didn't push his nose and face, and called Wuji my son on the spot.

Having just taken over Suizhou, there are still a lot of things waiting for Cui Che to deal with.

He did not continue to stay in the Changsun Mansion. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Changsun, Cui Che affectionately squeezed the chubby cheeks of Guanyin's servant girl, patted her little head lightly, and then left.

After Cui Che left, Changsun Wuji hesitated for a long time, and finally said to Mrs. Changsun:

"In the future, I ask the mother to follow her own will and not worry about her son.

"The son is not mediocre, but with his own ability, he can still gain a foothold in Jinyang and prevent his mother and younger sister from being bullied."

Mrs. Changsun was very relieved, she stepped forward to caress Changsun Wuji's head, and said with a soft smile:
"Of course my mother believes in Wuji, go back and rest."

After Changsun Wuji left, Mrs. Changsun recalled her first impression of Cui Che when she was a child:

This little uncle was born really good-looking.
