Chapter 284 Zong Baikui (Twenty-one) Just take a look
Flying pigeons to pass messages is indeed a miraculous technology in this era. Gao Yuan's performance in Dingnancheng, while Liu Xinshang was floating on the sea, Gao Pragmatic had already received a comprehensive report first.
Gao Mo, who was about to retire, gave a detailed report on Gao Yuan's performance during the journey and the two days after arriving in Dingna City in front of Gao Jingshi and Huang Zhiting.
Generally speaking, everything was normal for Gao Yuan on the "Dongchang". After arriving in southern Xinjiang, he was obviously the harshest to the members of the Gao family. He was polite to the servants headed by Gao Jue but not close to them. He was the only one who treated the family members headed by the Huang family.
The "foreign relatives" are particularly enthusiastic.
The reason why it is said that they are relatives headed by the Huang family is because in addition to the Huang family, Gao Yuan is also very good to the three thousand people Liu Xin left in Dingnan City. These three thousand people have always been assigned to the Dingnan Garrison Headquarters.
The leader of his subordinates was Liu Weizhong, who was the deputy commander of the Dingnan Garrison Headquarters at the time and was Huang Hu's deputy.
After listening to the report, Gao pragmatically nodded and let Gao Mo, who was really old, go down to rest first. After he left, he asked Huang Zhiting calmly: "What do you think, madam?"
Huang Zhiting sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to comment."
Of course Gao Jingshi knew what she meant. Gao Yuan was so obviously close to the Huang family, whether it was her direct subordinate Huang Hu or the current head of the Huang family, her biological brother Huang Yingping, this was what she felt
The reason why I cannot comment.
Judging from her identity and position, it is natural for Huang Hu or Huang to support Gao Yuan, and it is understandable for Gao Yuan to be nice to them. However, Huang Zhiting is not naive to think that these people are against them.
For her, "it's natural" and "it's understandable" will definitely apply to Gao Pragmatic.
In fact, under the current situation, Huang Zhiting was not sure what Gao Pragmatic would think.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic is her husband, and he has placed great trust in her over the years. It is also clear that he has high hopes for Gao Yuan, his eldest son. However, she also understands that her husband is by no means just a husband.
, a father.
Gao pragmatic has multiple identities. He is the head of the Gao family in Xinzheng (but not the patriarch), the only owner of the Jinghua Group, the de facto lord of southern Xinjiang, the chief minister of the imperial cabinet, and the leader of the Shi School. Therefore,
It is very difficult to judge the angle from which a highly pragmatic person considers a problem and the direction of his emphasis. Even those who have been sleeping with him for many years would not dare to make random guesses.
When it comes to Gao Yuan specifically, it is difficult to determine Gao Pragmatic's thinking direction, because Gao Yuan will inherit not only the foundation of Southern Xinjiang in the future, but also the title of Marquis of Nanning, and may even include Gao Pragmatic's titles in court, military, and scholar.
connections.
This is too complicated. Who knows what the high and pragmatic judgment standards are?
Even if we only consider the internal affairs of Jinghua, or even only consider Southern Xinjiang, it is hard to say how Gao Pragmatic will view Gao Yuan's apparent division of Southern Xinjiang's top leaders into three forces and their different attitudes.
After all, for Gao Pragmatic, these three forces are all in his hands, and it is impossible for any force to betray him, and he can use it like an arm.
Strictly speaking, it is the power of the Huang family that is the most marginal to Gao Pragmatic - the wife's family members are not named Gao after all, but the other two forces are both named Gao.
The reason why Huang Zhiting has such worries is not without purpose. Just look at Gao Pragmatic's attitude towards the Huang family over the years. Huang Yinglei can also be said to be self-inflicted, but Huang Yingping has always performed well.
Whenever something happened, he would actively express his willingness to send troops to fight, but in fact Gao Pragmatic politely declined every time.
On the surface, Gao's pragmatic attitude is that he does not want the only remaining legal heir of the Huang family to face risks on the battlefield, but in fact, who knows if he simply does not want to give Huang Yingpin a chance to perform meritorious service, lest he has to give him a chance after the war.
Greater power, or more fiefdoms? If it is the latter, it means that Gao Pragmatic has been suppressing the Huang family's opportunities to grow.
To be honest, Huang Zhiting is understandable and even supportive of this. This may seem strange, but it is not surprising at all - Huang Zhiting's thoughts are all on Gao Yuan, so if the Huang family becomes too strong and Gao Yuan is
Pragmatic worries may affect Gao Yuan, which she absolutely cannot accept.
As a woman, especially a woman in this era, the choices she faces are often more difficult than those of a man, because she needs to make a choice between her natal family and her husband's family, and no matter what choice she makes, she may feel torn apart in her heart.
.In contrast, it is much simpler for men to make decisions - the family is everything and the only correct choice.
Huang Zhiting's choice was obviously her husband's family, but there was a reason for this.
In the early years, the chieftain of the Huang family, one of the "Thinking of Tianyang and Cenhuang of Guangdong and Guangxi", was in decline because the head of the family, Huang Chengzu, gave up on himself, and the family business was almost in decline. As the eldest daughter, Huang Zhiting was forced to stir up trouble at the age of thirteen.
Taking on the heavy responsibility of the family, he began to take charge of the affairs of Siming Mansion.
Thanks to the tradition of southwestern chieftains having female chieftains in charge, although she was young at the time, she managed to gradually stabilize the family situation because of her decent handling of affairs.
At this moment, the newly appointed Guangxi censor Gao Jingshi came. The two fell in love with each other because of some strange stories. Huang Zhiting led the Huang family by fully cooperating with Gao Jingshi's work.
There was a complete shift towards high pragmatism, and then there was a great change in the Guangxi chieftain's move to Annan.
After that, Gao Pragmatic overcame all difficulties and broke the convention of a prominent family in the Central Plains to marry Huang Zhiting, creating a great story. With these as a basis, how can outsiders understand the depth of the relationship between the two?
For Huang Zhiting, after the chieftain of Guangxi moved to Annan, the Huang family had actually separated - it should be said that she became independent from the Huang family. She took sole control of Annan and Anbang as her hereditary territory. Later, due to the suppression of rebellion and
After the Mo Maoqia incident, the chieftain changed his title and became the land of Anbang and Liangshan.
The chieftain of the Huang family (the family and the branch together) have now been granted the four prefectures of Ngee'an, Shannan, Waiqinghua, and Huaying (one major prefecture and three small prefectures), which has expanded by more than one percent compared to when they were in Guangxi.
Times? Not to mention the population under their rule - when they moved to Annan, they were allowed to migrate the native children. After arriving in Annan, they ruled the local Annan people in situ. Overall, the population expanded by three or four times.
Therefore, when Huang Zhiting took sole control of Anbang, she had already made it clear to Huang Yinglei and Huang Yingpin that as her sister, she no longer owed anything to the Huang family, and the two of them should take care of themselves from now on.
Having said that, the love of blood will not be given up after all. What Huang Zhiting meant at that time was actually that from then on, as the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, she must do everything from the standpoint of the Gao family and remind her two younger brothers not to rely on their sister.
The identities were thrown around... It's a pity that only Huang Yingpin listened to it, and Huang Yinglei finally managed to get himself banned.
In short, Huang Zhiting can say that she owes nothing to the Huang family, so she never openly took care of the Huang family. The fundamental reason for doing so was for Gao Yuan.
Who knows, now that Gao Yuan has grown up, he will regard the Huang family as his target of wooing for the first time on a "business trip". This will inevitably make Huang Zhiting a little embarrassed - maybe she is still a little happy in her heart, but she definitely can't do it in Gao Yuan.
Show pragmatism.
Gao pragmatic looked at Huang Zhiting's expression, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "What's wrong with commenting? A mother's evaluation of her son is that he can do it at one year old, he can do it at ten years old, and he can still do it at one hundred years old."
This meant that he had to break the casserole and ask the question. Huang Zhiting had to answer, so she had to say: "Not long ago, the master told me the story of King Ping of Zhou. I thought that Zhou's affairs should not be imitated. Therefore, although Yuan'er's move was a bit reckless, but
It’s not considered to be out of line yet.”
"Hmm..." Gao Pingshi was noncommittal, but asked: "That is to say, you generally think that Yuan'er did a pretty good job, but the technique is a bit rough, right?"
Huang Zhiting didn't know what Gao Pragmatic's attitude was, but now that she had no way out, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "This... so be it."
Gao Jingshi suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "I am a little more optimistic than you. Zhiting, do you think Yuan'er is the same age now as you were when you took charge of the Huang family? So, when you think back to your performance at that time,
Can you say that you are completely satisfied?"
Huang Zhiting shook his head and said: "How can it be possible to be completely satisfied? Speaking of it, many things were not done very well at that time. At most, it can only be said that the direction of the goal was found, but in fact, many specific details were done badly. Haha.
, If it hadn’t been for the help of many elderly people in the family at that time, I even suspect that there would have been a big trouble."
"That's right." Gao Pragmatic nodded and said, "People of any age do what they do at that age. How can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old expect him to do things smoothly and smoothly?"
Huang Zhiting actually disagreed with this and said: "But when you were thirteen or fourteen years old..."
"You don't need to compare me." Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and directly brought the topic back, saying: "Although what he is doing now seems to you to be too straightforward and rough, but it is not a bad thing, at least...
...Second brother and the others obviously think that Yuan'er's behavior is expected, don't they?"
Of course, "you don't need to compare me". How could he be thirteen or fourteen years old when he was a pragmatic "13 or 14 years old"? He was twice as old as he was when he traveled through time. If he could really do as well as 13
If you are at the same level as a four-year-old, you might as well find a piece of tofu and knock him down.
But at most I can only say this to Liu Xin, but I can't say it to Huang Zhiting, so I can only pretend to be awesome and say "it's too late to read the book in this life".
Hearing what he said, Huang Zhiting didn't know what to say. She could only bring the topic back and said: "But I am a little worried. Yuan'er's behavior... may not be a good thing for the Huang family."
Gao pragmatic naturally understood what she meant, he smiled and said: "How can there be so many smooth sailings in the world? Yuan'er has been with me for too long, and almost everyone follows his wishes, so that he
In my years of growth, I have never encountered any storms, let alone any setbacks... This is not a good thing."
Huang Zhiting's expression tightened and she asked, "Does the master intend to frustrate Yuan'er?"
Gao pragmatic turned his head and looked out the window, and said leisurely: "That's not even a question. I just want to see what step he can take."
