rebirth first official

Gao Zhanming was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and a young cousin appeared out of nowhere.Although it has been more than three years since he was reborn, and he has almost sorted out the family connections in the family, he dare not say that he knows all the relatives in the family well, maybe there is someone he should know but doesn't know. Miss who knows, if something goes wrong at that time, it will be bad.

Tang Xue pulled Gao Zhanming out: "Come on, let's meet your cousin."

Gao Zhanming hurriedly asked, "Which Miss Cousin is it?" They are a big family, the number of cousins ​​can't be counted on two hands, and naturally there is more than one Miss Cousin, so asking like this is not considered revealing.

Tang Xue patted his hand and smiled, "It's from my natal family, Zuo Shiyi's daughter Xiaoyun, you met her once when you were five years old, do you remember?"

Hearing what she said, Gao Zhanming immediately understood.Of course Gao Zhanming had no memory of the cousin he met when he was five years old, but he knew about the Zuo Suyi from Tang Xue's natal family.The Tang family used to be brilliant, and Tang Xue was talking about one of her cousins, Tang Peng, who used to be an official under the family to save leftovers.But later the Tang family collapsed, and this Zuo Suyi was not spared. He was deposed because of being implicated. Although he was not convicted, he is now a commoner. Tang Xue still called him Zuo Suyi, which is too flattering up.

After a while, Gao Zhanming was dragged into the yard by Tang Xue.

The two of them didn't wait long in the yard when a young woman in Russell's long skirt came in supported by a few maids from the house.

I saw that woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, she had a hibiscus face, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her temples were black and crowed. It's Miss Tang Yun's cousin.

Sure enough, when the woman saw Gao Zhanming and Gao Qiang, she hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute: "Xiaoyun met aunt and cousin."

Tang Xue smiled very kindly, and helped her up: "My good boy, come, quickly enter the house." Then she turned her head and told the servants beside her, "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare delicious snacks and soup for Miss Biao." .”

Gao Zhanming looked at Tang Yun calmly, and met Tang Yun's inquiring gaze.Looking at each other, Tang Yun lowered his head, a blush flew across his face.

When the three of them entered the room, Tang Xue pulled Tang Yun and Gao Zhanming to sit on either side of her, and looked at Tang Yun's face carefully: "Poor child, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I lost a lot of weight."

Tang Yun said with a smile: "Where. Aunt, it's you who love me and worry about my bad life, that's why you always feel that I'm suffering. When my father was around, he was just like you..." After a pause, his expression became sad.

Tang Xue also showed a sad expression when she heard her mention her father, who was also her cousin.After a while, she changed the topic and said to Gao Zhanming: "Ming'er, do you still remember your cousin? The last time you saw her was still young. In fact, she has come here several times over the years. It's a pity that you Either studying in Zongxue or going to other places, I never met. Today I finally met by chance."

Gao Zhanming and Tang Yun stood up, saluted each other politely.

Tang Xuedao: "Yun'er's father passed away the year before last, and she lived alone in the countryside with her nurse. I saw that she lacked someone to take care of her, and tomorrow you will be busy making contributions all day long, and I also lack someone to accompany her, so I simply brought her to the house live."

Gao Zhanming frowned.Tang Xue asked people to live in suddenly, but he had no objection. After all, Tang Xue was the mistress of the house, and she was qualified to call the shots.Gao Zhanming was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that this Miss Biao who appeared out of nowhere had some other background, and that would not be a good thing.

The three exchanged pleasantries in the room for a while, Gao Zhanming didn't know much about the affairs of the Tang family, so he only listened and didn't talk, and rarely spoke.The aunt and nephew were talking about the past, and Gao Zhanming also heard some stories about the Tang family.Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Xue told Gao Zhanming: "Yun'er will stay at our house from now on. She has just arrived in the capital and is unfamiliar with her place of life. You happen to be still at the house during this time, so you should accompany her around more. Go shopping and take good care of her. Back then, her father never treated me badly."

Gao Zhanming responded with a full mouth, turned around and left the room, immediately found Liu Da, and asked him to help find out where Tang Yun came from: "Her family affairs, when did she get in touch with Madam, how long have she been with Madam, Why did you suddenly come to stay at our house after I returned to Beijing? You should check all these things carefully, and if there is anything tricky, please report it to me. "

After Gao Zhanming returned to Beijing and rested for two days, he was going to start busy socializing naturally.First of all, he will visit the elders one by one, including the Gao family and other relatives and elders.He also went to pay a solemn visit to Su Yu.

He has developed in Jiazhou for the past two years, and the situation in the capital has not changed completely. The forces in the capital are mainly divided into three groups, one belongs to the Gao family, the other belongs to the Zhao family, and the other belongs to the poor family. Qing school represented by Zizi.These three forces have always been in check with each other. The Qing school only respects the emperor, and will not uplift the Zhao family in order to check the Gao family like Li Changzhi did, but sometimes they will temporarily stand on the same side with the Gao Zhao family for the sake of interests.For the Zhao family of the Gao family, although those poor families are lowly, they may not be unusable sometimes, so there is no need to completely eradicate them.Now that Li Changzhi is getting older, his ambition is getting bigger and bigger.Two or three years ago in the capital, these three factions could be said to be dominated by the Gao family, and the influence of the Zhao family and the Qingliu on them was so slight that even the emperor was dismissed.However, in the past few years, through the efforts of everyone, a number of officials in the court have been replaced one after another. Many people also saw that the emperor was old and the Gao family could not hold the position for too long after all, so they changed their positions.If Li Changzhi wants to consolidate the imperial power, he must develop his own power, and the Hanlin Academy around him is undoubtedly his cronies, that is, those humble scholars who entered the official position through the imperial examination.In this way, the power in the hands of the Hanlin Academy gradually increased.

Gao Zhanming brought the article he wrote to meet Su Yu. Su Yu read his article, gave some pointers, and then started gossiping with him.

Su Yu asked him: "You and Li Dudu have been in Jiazhou for the past two years, have you gotten along well?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Captain Li is approachable and knowledgeable, I respect him very much."

Su Yu smiled: "He fell in love with you the first time he saw you, this time you returned to Beijing, before you arrived in the capital, his letter was sent first, asking me to take care of you, it shows that he attaches great importance to you. "

Gao Zhanming thought about it, and remembered that when he first met Li Jingruo, he was with Su Yu, so he couldn't help asking, "Master Su, do you have a good relationship with Li Dudu?"

Su Yu remained silent, and after a while, said: "If you encounter any trouble, just come to me, I will help you if I can."

After visiting the elders and seniors, Gao Zhanming also got together with the disciples of Gao's family who were in the capital, as well as the classmates of Zongxue.Many of these people have become scholars now, and they have been doing well in the past two years relying on the protection of their ancestors.The attitude of these disciples towards Gao Zhanming in the past few years has been ups and downs like leaves falling in the wind. Back then, Gao Zhanming even won three yuan, and many people who had bullied him in the past were very worried. After Gao Zhanming was demoted from the capital, they relaxed They didn't know whether Gao Zhanming still remembered the worries of that day, but they all saw that he was definitely not a thing in the pool, so they treated him very well. She is quite flattering, and wants to erase all past grievances.As for those who have never followed suit and bullied Gao Zhanming, they are very happy in their hearts, and they have not misjudged themselves.

At the party, Gao Zhanming sat next to Gao Tianwen, and there was a vacant seat next to it, originally reserved for Gao Huachong, but Gao Huachong did not come to the banquet.Gao Zhanming had already met Gao Huachong when he went to visit An Guogong, Gao Huachong had a cold and indifferent attitude towards him, as if he had let go of the past.

People kept coming to toast Gao Zhanming and say congratulations. After Gao Zhanming had done his rounds, he secretly sent someone to urge the kabuki show to prevent the crowd from coming to toast again. He really couldn't bear it.

When the show started, the disciples finally calmed down a bit. Gao Zhanming quickly drank two cups of tea to refresh himself, and began to look at all the disciples who came to the meeting today.

On a table not far away, there were a few unfamiliar faces that Gao Zhanming had never seen before, and those people did not come to toast Gao Zhanming just now. Gao Zhanming couldn't help being very curious, and asked Gao Tianwen softly, "Brother, who are you?" Who is this? Why haven't I seen this before?"

Gao Tianwen glanced at his fingers and said, "Oh, you have never seen them before. The one in the middle wearing purple clothes is named Liu Shijia, and he is the son of Liu Qiang, the governor of Pinglu Town."

Gao Zhanming wondered: "Why did the son of the Jiedushi of Pinglu Town come to the capital?"

Gao Tianwen explained in a low voice: "Haven't you heard of it in Jiazhou? Pinglu Town is just next to Fanyang Town. Our Gao family and Zhao family have always wanted to win Liu Qiang over. Liu Shijia is 23 years old this year and has not yet To marry a wife, the Queen Mother wanted to betroth his cousin to him, and the Zhao family wanted to betroth Zhao Jinyan’s younger sister, Zhao Yuying, to him. For several years, Liu Qiang did not agree, and his position has always been neutral. I don’t know why he suddenly agreed to the Zhao family this year. For the marriage, Liu Shijia and Zhao Yuying should be married, and a letter should be written to let the emperor give the marriage. The queen mother ordered Liu Shijia to come to Beijing, saying that she would give the marriage face to face, but when he entered the capital, the queen mother withheld it, saying It is to train him, to give him a position in the army, never to mention the marriage, and not to let him go back."

Gao Zhanming frowned, and immediately understood Gao Qiang's intentions.Gao Qiang was absolutely determined not to agree to the marriage between the Zhao family and Liu Qiang. Originally, Liu Qiang was a hindrance to the Zhao family, but once they got married, they would have the heavy troops of the three frontier towns in their hands. Who wouldn't be afraid?Gao Qiang detains Liu Shijia in the capital and does not let anyone go. Firstly, it is to delay the marriage, and secondly, it is also a warning to Liu Qiang. She uses Liu Shijia as a proton to threaten Liu Qiang, hoping that he will reconsider the marriage.

Gao Zhanming was puzzled, "Since that's the case, why did we invite him to our brother's party?"

Gao Tianwen said: "It's also the queen mother's intention. She wants us to get closer to Liu Shijia and draw him to our side. But you don't have to take it to heart. This task is too difficult for others. Liu Shijia is not a fool. He still doesn't know what the Queen Mother means? The people around him are all his people, and you can see that he doesn't talk to our people from the beginning to the end. Let him go, we are just going through the motions."

Gao Zhanming changed his mind, got up and said, "I'll toast him."
