"My virtuous brother and I hit it off like old friends, and we didn't hide it from each other. I originally joined Xue Ju and sacrificed myself for the general. Later, when Xue Rengao was defeated, I came to Chang'an with my grandfather.
Later, from Li Shimin, he was known as an old member of Tiance Mansion.
Since Your Majesty has Yu Nei, I went to Jinyang and served as the order of Jinyang for two years.
My dear brother, who is in charge of the Yulin Guards, must be someone whom Your Majesty is close to and trusts. I am not a villain, so I must tell my dear brother to you first. If there is any objection, we may not be able to drink this wine."
After only two drinks, and not even a few mouthfuls of food, Chu Suiliang briefly explained his origins to avoid getting into trouble later.
It's just that he has a lot of eyes and a vague intention of motivating generals. No matter how high his official position is, he is still a young man. Young people are most afraid of being looked down upon.
Gongsun An was stunned for a moment, then he smiled casually and said: "I haven't heard anyone say this for a long time. Brother Chu has been away for many years, so maybe he doesn't know much about the situation in Beijing.
The old people of Tiance Mansion and the false king's subordinates are all old things, and few people care about them anymore..."
He raised his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "Does the minister of Sinong Temple, Dou Qingzheng, brother Chu know?"
Chu Suiliang nodded with peace of mind. After the reconstruction of Sinong Temple, he sent officials to various places to supervise agricultural work. How could he not deal with them as the order of Jinyang?
"How can I not know about Chen Ronggong's lineage?"
Gongsun An smiled and said: "That is to say, Dou Qingzheng is still Li Yuan's son-in-law. Now he is in a high position and his Majesty is also very close to him. What does Brother Chu's background mean?"
Chu Suiliang said, this example is not very good.
The Dou family of Fufeng has a distinguished family. Not only is he a fellow villager of the emperor, but Dou Guangda is said to have some old friendship with the current emperor.
Needless to say, Li Sanniang, Li Erniang is said to be...hehe...if the rumors are true, they are really close.
He was thinking dirtyly in his heart, but at the same time he raised his glass and said: "My dear brother, it is true, but how can I compare with the people of Fufeng Dou family? My dear brother, you don't abandon me because of my background, you can see that you have a big heart, come on, I respect you."
A cup for my dear brother."
The Chu family in Henan is actually a prominent family with a Han surname, but I don’t need to mention it now. They only have two or three kittens left, and they can’t tell anyone about their family history.
The only thing they have in common is that Chu Liang and his son moved to Qiantang, and Gongsun An is from Xiangyang. Although they are far apart in the east and west, they are both southerners.
As officials in the north, southerners can also be considered a group.
…………
Chu Suiliang spoke openly and honestly, which immediately increased the familiarity between the two.
It was Chu Suiliang's turn to ask questions. When everyone interacts, they must first describe their family background, then their official positions, and then look for common topics, such as where they meet.
If everything is consistent and there is mutual appeal, then the relationship can continue.
Gongsun An said this, "I am from Xiangyang, but I have been with an uncle since I was a child. Later, I entered the Han Dynasty. Wherever your majesty's home is, I will follow him."
I'm not afraid of Brother Chu's ridicule. I was lucky enough to be General Yulin. I played tricks with the prince and taught him some martial arts. I became a general just by playing around. I have never been in a battle, and I don't have much military merit.
No one else can compare.”
What this said was not that showing off was better than showing off. After hearing this, Chu Suiliang felt that the wine he drank in his mouth had no taste at all.
He has been trying his best to make progress for more than 20 years since he was sensible, but he has had a bad fate. Every time he has just made some progress, he has hit a wall at every turn.
Looking back, it was filled with sadness and tears. At the age of thirty, Chu Suiliang had already suffered countless failures. Looking at people who became generals just for fun, Chu Suiliang was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
He has a lot of things on his mind, but Gongsun An is the complete opposite. He is really open-minded and can talk to others about everything.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Suiliang had a rough idea of the other party's family background.
Gongsun An's uncle was Liu Chaozong, a doctor in the Ministry of War. Chu Suiliang had never heard of this man, but the fact that he could send the son of a family friend to the emperor undoubtedly meant that he was a close relative of the emperor.
Gongsun An's parents both died in the war, and now he is alone.
He was embarrassed to tell Chu Suiliang that the reason he moved out of the palace was because he was getting married, and he saw a lady from a restaurant, who was much older than him, when she was looking after Dou Jiande.
This made Chu Suiliang admire him quite a lot. This was the first time he had seen such a willful person with such a good fortune.
A fifth-grade General Yulin married an old lady from a public house. Has Chang'an's atmosphere become so open now?
Gongsun An was very proud. He was in good health and had a good drinking capacity. He was not a talkative person after drinking. He was really proud of himself.
He fell in love with Mrs. Liu's free and easy temperament, and since they were both alone, there was no need for three matchmakers or six hires. As long as the two of them made an agreement, the matter was almost half done.
The other half was that he wanted to report to his uncle and a few teachers, so he just had to bring Madam Liu to them for a look.
Master Yan had something to say. He took a sword and competed with Master Yan for a few games. Yan Lu was "very relieved" and said that he taught well and never interfered with him again.
In fact, he didn't know that Liu Chaozong was also very dissatisfied with the fact that he had found a wife.
The official who returned the official weapon for private use sent people to Hebei to do some research and found out the family background of Liu Xian (Dou Xianniang).
Thanks to the severe disaster in Hebei, Dou Xianniang came to Beijing under the guise of Liu Yun's niece. Now that Liu Yun has died of illness, there is basically no trace.
Only then did Liu Chaozong agree to their marriage.
Gongsun An didn't know the pros and cons, so he happily waited for the marriage. He first bought a house in Huaihua Lane and didn't decorate it much.
A few days ago, he even took Mrs. Liu to have a look.
Dou Xianniang is relatively satisfied. Her parents are just like that. As long as her life is not worried, she can't do anything. Now it is a good thing to find a husband for herself to marry.
She took the opportunity of delivering wine to talk to her parents. Dou Jiande and his wife were overjoyed when they heard about it. They had no hope now. What they were afraid of was that their daughter would die alone, and they would not be able to sleep a wink even if they died.
Mrs. Cao also advised her daughter not to walk around here after getting married, so as not to expose her whereabouts.
Dou Xianniang went back and cried loudly, and then she was busy preparing to marry herself off. It must be said that it was very strange for the princes in the late Sui Dynasty to get to the level of Lao Dou.
…………
During the second half of the night, I heard Gongsun An praising how well his fiancée was doing. Chu Suiliang ate a mouthful of dog food and felt nauseated.
Gongsun An, who was in high spirits, poured wine again and again, so he got drunk in Gongsun An's house. Now the two people's "good family relationship" was settled...
