First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 489 Little Rengui
...

Gao Chong glanced at Xue Yuanzhang, paid attention to his expression, and said indifferently: "There is a person in Xiu Village who has an old relationship with me. Since I pass by, I will visit him."

Xue Yuanzhang was obviously startled when he heard these words, and his heart was straight, "Who do you dare to ask? I am quite familiar with Xiucun. After all, we are of the same clan, maybe I also know him."

"Xue Gui, Zanzhi of Xiangcheng County in the former dynasty", Gao Chong said with a smile suddenly.

Sure enough, when Xue Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became nervous, "Xue... Xue Gui? He has been dead for ten years, and Gao Siqing actually recognizes him?"

"Xue Mingfu remembers it quite clearly."

Gao Chong had already determined that Xue Rengui's downfall in his family might be related to the person in front of him, and continued: "My mother came from the North ancestral house of the Xue family. Officials pass by here, and come and see if there is nothing left or right.”

Xue Yuanjiang felt even more uneasy.

Gao Chong had always been puzzled before, Xue Rengui's father, Xue Gui, was from the fifth-rank county Zanzhi, and his grandfather Xue Yan was from the fifth-rank county prefect, and his rank was not low, so he was considered a family of officials. It's so poor.

At first, Gao Chong thought that after Xue Gui's death, the orphan and widowed mother could only sit and eat. Xue's mother needed money to seek medical treatment, and Xue Rengui spent a lot of money to practice martial arts. After all, martial arts practitioners eat a lot and use a lot. Come on, there must be external factors.

In the Xue family, looking at his sickly mother, Xiao Rengui wiped away his tears and said, "Ma'am, why don't I sell the house? You can't be bothered."

"Fool, this is the ancestral house, and it must not be sold." Liu's stroking Xue Rengui's face lovingly, "It's because of your mother that you have been dragged down. A good house has failed like this."

"Mother, don't say that, you can't be busy, and Li'er can't live without mother." Xue Rengui held Liu Shi's hand tightly.

"After selling the house and curing my illness, we will go to Longmen Mountain. There is a cave on the mountain. I slept in it when I was chopping firewood. It can be lived in. My mother will watch me grow up and wait for me. When I grow up, I will become a general..."

While talking, Xue Rengui broke down in tears, Liu Shi was very pleased.

Her heart was very complicated. On the one hand, she was reluctant to part with her youngest son and couldn't bear to see him become an orphan at such a young age. On the other hand, she really didn't dare to sell the ancestral house, which would be poked in the back.

When the mother and son were mourning, there was a noise at the door, and there was a strong knock on the door.

"They're going too far," Xiaoren's noble face flushed, and he picked up a wooden stick when he walked to the corner.

"You can't be polite, no, you can't show the courage of a man," Liu struggled to stop.

"Sister-in-law open the door, a senior official has come to see you," a clansman's voice sounded from outside.

Mrs. Liu was terrified when she heard the words. Could it be that the county magistrate Xue was tearing her face apart. Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was so anxious that she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted weakly.

"Ah, A Niang, A Niang, what's wrong with you?" Xue Rengui was shocked, but he did not lose his mind, but rushed to the door quickly.

As soon as he opened the door, he roared: "Here you are, just give it to you, call the doctor quickly, my mother has fainted."

Seeing a strong boy rushing out, he roared angrily. Gao Chong was stunned, and then reacted and said, "You are Xue Rengui? Don't worry, the doctor is on his way."

As early as on the way to repair the village, Gao Chong sent his soldiers to the city to ask for a doctor. He was not at ease to let Xue Yuan and the two go back to the city.

After finishing the words, he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching. Gao Chong looked at it and said, "The doctor is here, please come in quickly."

I saw two personal guards coming quickly with the help of a doctor with trembling legs.

Although Xue Rengui didn't understand the situation, he quickly realized that he was busy welcoming people in.

After careful diagnosis and treatment, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he was here to treat some terminal illness and offend the nobleman, but fortunately, the woman in front of him was only suffering from a cold, combined with overwork and long-term malnutrition, so she was so weak.

"This nobleman, this lady is fine. It's just that after the fall, she wears thin clothes, catches a cold, plus a poor diet, and her body is too weak, so she is so weak. I just need to pick a few herbs and buy some more. Supplements are nourishing and nourishing, and you can slowly recover."

Gao Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Then hurry up and grab the medicine. In addition, bring all the supplements and settle the bill with you."

"Doctor Liu, this is the Minister of Dali Temple, Duke of Bohai County, the imperial son-in-law, you have to treat him carefully, if you make a mistake, you will be questioned," Xue Yuanjue warned in a deep voice, who obviously knew this famous doctor from Wanchun County.

The doctor was startled when he heard the words, Gao Chong glared at Xue Yuanzhang, "Hurry up and boil the medicine, don't waste time."

In the front hall of Xue's house, Xue Rengui filled a bowl of water with some embarrassment, and offered it to Gao Chong with both hands, thanking him very gratefully.

"The boy is grateful for his benefactor and great virtue. His family is poor, so he only expresses his gratitude with a bowl of clear water."

Xue Yuanzhang glared at the old man, who immediately understood, "I have some rough tea at home, so I'll go get it."

"No need." Gao Chong took the bowl of water and drank it down.

Looking at the young and precocious Xue Rengui, Gao Chong said in a deep voice: "Xue Rengui, I heard about your reputation for filial piety, so I came here to see you. I hope you will not disappoint your mother's expectations. If you study hard and practice martial arts hard, you will definitely become famous in the future." The Great General of the World".

"The boy remembers the teachings of his benefactor", Xue Rengui bowed down again.

Gao Chong nodded slightly, and then looked at Xue Yuanchang, "Xue Jialing, from now on, Xue Rengui's mother and son will be supported by the Princess Yisi, and they can be settled as ordinary households, until Xue Rengui becomes an adult."

Xue Yuanchang was taken aback when he heard the words, and said hesitantly: "My son-in-law, do you want to tell the princess?"

At this time, marrying a princess is not called marrying a princess, but Princess Shang. The princess occupies a dominant position in the family, including the residence is also called the princess mansion. All affairs in the mansion are decided by the princess. Xue Yuanchang obviously didn't understand Gao Chong. status.

Gao Chong laughed out of breath, pointed at Xue Yuanchang and said, "You'd better be upright and honest."

Xue Yuanchang didn't know why, and Xue Yuanju was in a cold sweat.

"Gao Siqing, since you have already visited Xue Rengui, why don't you go back to the city earlier?" Xue Yuanzhang wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said with a smile: "The village is poor, and the conditions are really limited."

"No hurry, wait a little longer," Gao Chong waved his hand, and sat firmly like a mountain, ignoring the two of them, just chatting with Xue Rengui, "Do you have any studies?"

"Hui Engong, I have read "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn", Xiao Rengui replied solemnly.

"Well, don't let go of your studies. I'll send you some books later. You can't let go of your daily studies. How about martial arts?" Gao Chong nodded slightly and continued to ask.

"Thank you, Mr. Xue Rengui," thanked Xue Rengui excitedly.

He has heard his mother tell him many times that books are the most valuable things in the family, and no matter what, he cannot sell the books handed down by his ancestors.

"I have the strength to fight every day, but...it's just that I eat too much."

"It doesn't matter, it's time to cook for half a child, so just open your belly to eat from now on," Gao Chong laughed when he saw this.

　In the past two days, some people have scolded me bloody, and even deliberately added a fan group, and then added my private account to scold me, I am really convinced.

　　What do you say that modern people make dogs for Li Shimin?

　　Whatever you say, I maliciously smear Yang Guang.

　　I'm really convinced. It's the first time I've seen such a violent reader in a few years. This is a supplementary article. If you don't like to read it, just leave it. You even scolded me through the fan group and added a private account. As for it? ?Is this cyberbullying?
　　Fortunately, I have a strong psychological quality, but it really affects my mood. I want to say it here. Civilized comments are welcome, and I also accept corrections. I just delete the comments that are just cursing.

　　In addition, these two chapters are transitional chapters, and Xue Rengui leads to some things about the Xue family in Hedong.
