At this time, Gao Mengnan already understood Gao Yuan's intention, and naturally guessed how Gao Yuan would behave during his stay in Dingnancheng, so he simply put up his uncle's pretense and let Gao Yuan perform. For Gao Mengnan,
Gao Yuan's attitude says it's important, but if he says it's not important, it's really not that important.
The reason is very simple. Although this "Nanning Marquis Yingxi" has a noble status and a stable status, in the final analysis he is just a boy in his late thirties. At the same time, his father Gao Pragmatic is less than forty years old.
, and has always been in good health, truly in his prime.
Therefore, even if Gao Yuan will eventually inherit the foundation of Southern Xinjiang in the future, what does this have to do with Gao Mengnan? Gao Mengnan is more than ten years older than Gao Jingshi! If Gao Yuan takes the throne, Gao Yuan will take over.
Then Gao Mengnan might be able to beat the drum with his bones.
Of course, although he himself does not have to worry about what will happen after Gao Yuan inherits Southern Xinjiang, it does not mean that he can really stay out of it completely.
Gao pragmatism only had one wife and three concubines, and he was often praised for being a bad womanizer, but in fact, compared to Gao Mengnan, Gao pragmatism was nothing. Gao Mengnan only had one wife, Mrs. Liu, and no concubines.
Heirs. Moreover, his wife Liu was not jealous. Like Huang Zhiting, she tried to persuade her husband to take a concubine many times, but she was declined by Gao Mengnan who smiled and said nothing.
It's funny to say that after Mrs. Liu came to southern Xinjiang with Gao Mengnan, she even asked Huang Zhiting for advice, hoping that Huang Zhiting would help persuade her husband to take a concubine. Obviously, Huang Zhiting couldn't help in this matter.
Therefore, he later gave Mrs. Liu an unexpected proposal: to take in orphans.
Mrs. Liu initially thought that Huang Zhiting wanted her and Gao Mengnan to choose one or two adopted sons from the orphans so that they could inherit the lineage and family business in the future.
Mrs. Liu was not very happy with this proposal, because in her opinion, although the Gao family was not prosperous, it was at least not weak. In terms of seniority, it was not easy to adopt a nephew as an adopted son in the family.
No matter how difficult it is, this can also ensure that "the rich water does not flow to outsiders' fields" and does not take advantage of other people's blood.
However, Huang Zhiting told her that her suggestion was not what she had imagined. Huang Zhiting said that she and her husband Gao Pragmatic had discussed it and wanted to establish a charity hall in southern Xinjiang to adopt orphans, especially those who died in the six major garrison armies.
's orphan.
Although these orphans will not receive the title of "whose adopted son", they will actually be carefully educated. More importantly, the orphan hall will not receive official funds, but will be personally funded by the Gao pragmatic couple.
——Of course, if Mrs. Liu is willing to join, she and Gao Mengnan and his wife will also become one of the investors.
Although Mrs. Liu was not involved in politics, she realized that the matter was not that simple as soon as she heard it. Therefore, she did not dare to agree rashly at the time, but said she would go back and ask the master for instructions. Huang Zhiting expressed her understanding.
Mrs. Liu immediately talked about the matter with Gao Mengnan after she returned, and cautiously expressed her opinion: no participation.
Gao Mengnan asked her why she couldn't participate, and Mrs. Liu said: "The adoption of orphans was originally a favorite of the generals of Jiubian Town, and the purpose was just to adopt more children for help. However, the Rixin couple also specially gave priority to the orphans of soldiers when they adopted orphans. This means that I am a concubine."
I think it’s self-explanatory. In this case, shouldn’t I be involved in this matter? What if I am misunderstood by Nissin…”
Gao Mengnan laughed loudly after hearing this, and Mrs. Liu said angrily: "I am thinking of you, what is your joke?"
"Of course I know Madam is thinking about me, but regarding this matter, Madam has some misunderstandings."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked: "How do you say this?"
Gao Mengnan said: "At least half of the military and political officials at all levels in southern Xinjiang are from the Gao family, or are descendants of the Gao family, or have children born in the family. Why does Rixin need to build an additional orphanage hall to adopt orphans? Furthermore, Mrs. Hou made it clear
These orphans will not be given the status of adopted children. In fact, it tells me that these children are not trained as personal soldiers of the couple.
In addition, Mrs. Hou is not someone who likes to play tricks on the city. Since she specially invited you and me to join in, it means that the invitation is genuine and not a temptation."
"Really?" Mrs. Liu was a little confused now and asked: "But he is getting richer and richer than anyone else in the world, so what difficulty does it have for him to establish a charity hall? I mean, he is not short of money, and he has a lot of money.
Why is it necessary for me to join as one of the investors?"
Gao Mengnan smiled and said: "He certainly doesn't need me to pay - oh, I mean, although I have to pay some money, but that's not what Rixin needs. What Rixin needs is very simple, just
My name, or rather my name as a member of the Gao family."
"Oh...that's it." Mrs. Liu nodded as if she understood, and then asked: "But why is it the master? He also has several biological brothers!"
"Of course he has brothers, brothers, and concubines." Gao Mengnan took a deep breath and said, "But you have to know that now I am the head of the civil servants in Southern Xinjiang, and besides him, I am also the closest member of the Gao family.
The person with the highest status in name. If I don't join, work diligently, and work frugally, how can they get ahead of me and join first?
Madam, think about it, if Nixin did that, let alone me, Guoyan, Wuben, what would they think? Now that the Gao family's great cause has not been rectified, Nixin will never do such a thing that may cause estrangement in the family.
, this is also a must-have thinking for those who achieve great things.”
Mrs. Liu finally understood and nodded: "I see, then tomorrow I will go see Mrs. Hou and say that the master has agreed?"
"Otherwise." Gao Mengnan shook his head and said, "Of course you have to agree, but the method of joining has to be slightly modified."
Mrs. Liu was surprised and said: "Why do you still need to make modifications?"
Gao Mengnan shook his head and did not answer, but said: "Tell her that I am willing to fully assist in the establishment of the orphan hall. However, because of limited funds, I will not be counted as an investor. It is just that when there is still enough financial resources, I will provide support for the orphans from time to time."
We will donate some to Gutang, and we will also publicly solicit donations for Xigutang at our convenience.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mrs. Liu was confused and said: "I will naturally obey the master's instructions, but... why do you do this?"
Seeing that his wife was determined to ask, Gao Mengnan had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Didn't I say that all Rixin needs is my name so that other brothers can join in, thus creating an atmosphere where the entire Gao family cares about the orphans of soldiers.
However, your worry just now is not wrong in itself, that is, at any time, we cannot block or dilute his brilliance, we can only add to his brilliance... Do you understand?"
"That's it!" It seemed like this was the third time Mrs. Liu said these four words, but this time she must have really understood.
As a result, the Xigutang established in the name of the Gao pragmatic couple quickly began to be built. At the same time, they also started to investigate among the six major garrison forces and the Nanyang Fleet, and quickly selected the first batch of Xigutang trainees.
As Huang Zhiting said, these orphans in Xigutang were not trained as "adopted children" as understood in this era, because Xigutang was actually established in a school model and was divided into two courtyards - the left courtyard is the left courtyard.
There is a school for boys, and the right courtyard is a school for girls.
It was at this time that the women's school that Liu Xin had been thinking about for many years made its debut in southern Xinjiang. In the end, Gao Jingshi and his wife became the left and right deans of Xigutang School, Gao Mengnan became the executive vice dean of the left academy, and Liu Xin took the lead.
He became the executive vice president of the right hospital.
Although Liu Xin couldn't find time to come to Southern Xinjiang to actually take charge of the work because she held the important position of Secretary-General of the Beijing Secretariat, she was very concerned about the affairs of the right courtyard of Xigutang Academy.
Under the guise of being pragmatic, she roped in Huang Zhiting, who returned to Beijing every year, and contacted some young ladies from noble families, encouraging some of them "new era women" to go to southern Xinjiang to teach female students in the right courtyard.
them.
Naturally, this kind of thing is difficult to get the support of the heads of these families. After all, in their view, their daughters (or sisters) should stay at home and be the ladies of the family. How is it inappropriate to go out and show off as a teacher? Not to mention
It is simply unreasonable to say that we should go to a barbaric land like southern Xinjiang.
However, families with a prosperous family naturally have the confidence to refuse, but some families that are about to see their family decline, or even already in decline, do not dare to refuse so easily.
After all, it was under the banner of high pragmatism, and there was also the official Madam Hou of the Nanning Marquis Mansion as a guarantor, saying that all the students of the professor were women. So, at least there is no need to worry about "immoral", and in case of this,
With the favor of the old man in the high court, wouldn't it be possible for my family to thrive? Besides, southern Xinjiang is so far away, so as long as I keep it a little secret, things may not be able to spread!
As a result, something that seemed impossible to achieve in this era was actually accomplished. Within a few years, Liu Xin sent more than 20 "female gentlemen" with excellent knowledge to the right courtyard.
As a teacher, I really organized a team of female teachers to make the right courtyard run smoothly.
At the same time, Gao Mengnan, as the executive vice president of the Zuoyuan, gradually devoted more and more efforts to the Zuoyuan, and even showed signs of treating the orphans of the Zuoyuan as his own children.
This is actually not surprising, because Gao Mengnan himself was born an orphan. His biological father was originally a general under Gao Gong's eldest brother Gao Jie, Admiral Cao Jiangshi. Unfortunately, he died in a battle with Japanese pirates, leaving him alone and helpless.
Therefore, Gao Jie not only adopted him, but also officially included him in the Gao family tree. Basically, he was raised as his own son.
Although Gao Mengnan was not too old when he entered the Gao family, he was not completely ignorant either. Therefore, he had extremely strong feelings about the word "identity" and knew the suffering of orphans and the happiness of being cared for and cared for.
Precisely because he resonated with the children of Xigutang, he, who was childless, began to regard himself more and more as the father of the orphans. Although, as he himself said, he could never snatch away the glory that belonged to Gao Pragmatism, but
As long as he carefully conceals his love for the children under the words "I am entrusted by Nanning Hou", he can open his arms and provide all kinds of protection and care to the children.
At this time, when Gao Yuan appeared in Dingnan and acted like he was "ordered to cultivate cronies", Gao Mengnan suddenly thought of Xi Gutang - I am afraid that Xi Gutang was not the wife of Rixin.
Founded by himself, it is very likely that it was founded by Gao Yuan, the eldest son, Nanning Hou Yingxi!
Just as Gao Mengnan explained to his wife a few years ago, Gao Pragmatic does not need to raise any more adopted sons. Among the adopted sons, civil and military chieftains from all over southern Xinjiang, who would dare to betray him after eating a leopard? But Gao Yuan is different!
One emperor and one courtier!
Gao Mengnan thought to himself: I originally thought that the main role of Xigutang was to calm people's hearts, especially the military's morale. By the way, I would like to see if I can train some useful people who can be enriched in the governance system of southern Xinjiang in the future.
Who would have known that Rixin is Rixin after all, and if you take it one step at a time, you will see that this Xigutang actually has a hidden meaning as Zhan Shifu and the sixth leader of the East Palace! And I, without knowing it, became a Zhan
Shifu Zhanshi...
Gao Mengnan let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Gao Ruiqi who was sitting back, and he felt a little worried unconsciously.
Rui Chu is a smart man, and he is quite mature and prudent, completely different from his father's frivolity in his early years. However, after all, he is also a young man, and because of his status in southern Xinjiang, it can be said that everything has been smooth sailing in recent years. I don't know.
Will you feel resentful after being stabbed by the clan brother Gao Yuan just now?
But don't do it, otherwise... it will be a real disaster.
Although Gao Yuan is young, he was sent by Rixin to take charge of military affairs at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In addition, there are various signs such as Xigutang, which indicate that the Rixin couple are doing their best to cultivate him.
Although Rui Chu is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and his status is considered special, the eldest son of the Gao family no longer has the final say. No matter how special Rui Chu is, how can he be compared with Gao Yuan? If they really have a conflict, they will use their feet.
You can tell the result with just a few clicks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No, after a while the table has dispersed, Rui Chu must be called over and carefully warned, and must not let him do any impulsive and reckless actions - no, it must be stopped
Any resentment he may have, let him remember to face up to his identity and stand firm, otherwise not only himself, but the entire big house may be destroyed as well.
The world has all kinds of praise for Rixin, and even regards him as a perfect person. However, as the "old man" of the Gao family, doesn't Gao Mengnan know about the conflict between brothers Wuzi and Pragmatic in their early years?
That conflict is not big, and it has been almost thirty years, but what do you think Wuzi is doing now? Guarding the ancestral temple.
Compared to the other brothers of the Gao family, who are almost all reused by Jingjing, Wuzi is still under house arrest in Xinzheng and cannot move even a step because he had a little conflict with Jingjing thirty years ago!
Rui Chu, Rui Chu, your father has suffered a big loss. Now he can still maintain his dignity in name. On the one hand, he is pragmatic and does not want to stain his own reputation. On the other hand, it is also because of you and my uncle and nephew. You must not
Don't make the same mistake as your father, otherwise I won't even be able to save you by then!
