In the evening, when the tired birds knew that they were returning to the forest, Chang Yu, who had been wandering outside for a day, came back to the city leisurely. At this time, Gao Jie, who had been looking for him all afternoon, rushed out of the house to greet him after hearing the news, but unexpectedly enjoyed the little eunuch's big kiss. Bear hug: "Brother Gao, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my face is getting more and more dark and rosy."
When Gao Jie was called "Brother Gao", his chrysanthemums tightened and he was as happy as a five-year-old fool: "In the past few days, I will be here, but I have neglected the factory supervisor, and I can't find anyone."
"Look what Brother Gao said, I've been eating and drinking well at your house these past few days, but I've been too much trouble." Chang Yu laughed, and Gao Jie quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Factory Superintendent, what you said has gone unnoticed. Is it true that I would rather you stay here than leave?"
"I think so. Xuzhou has beautiful mountains, rivers, good people and beautiful people. I really don't want to leave." Chang Yu smiled slightly, put his arm around Gao Jie's shoulders and entered the house together. Hu Maozhen and others looked at him with their mouths agape. Is the relationship so good?
The real head of the family has arrived, and he must fulfill his duties as a landlord again. Gao Jie knew that Chang Yu loved to eat fish, so he specially asked someone to go to the Yellow River Ancient Road (another Yellow River Ancient Road in Xuzhou) to get a few Yellow River carps. As expected, Chang Yu was very happy. .
A banquet was held in the lobby, which was not only Gao Jie's cleansing banquet, but also his official reception for Chang Yu and his entourage. There were two tables at the banquet. The main table was for Gao Jie's family of three and Chang Yu, and the deputy tables were for Hu Maozhen and other deputy generals, as well as Lao Jiu, Li Muchian and others.
It stands to reason that this is not a family banquet, even if Mrs. Behaving properly made Chang Yu feel very emotional: On the importance of the woman behind a successful man.
During the dinner, there was a lot of atmosphere, but because of the presence of Mrs. Regarding the Daming Bank and the grain base, Mrs. Xing did not shy away from her at all, and even asked her opinions from time to time.
Mrs. Xing was very moved because she felt the rare respect for women in this era.
Gao Yuanjue is a child who is only six or seven years old. He is a tiger-headed boy but very well-behaved and plays with the amulet given to him by Chang Yu from time to time.
"Do you like it?" Chang Yu teased him from time to time.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, you are really too polite. This, this is costing you money." Gao Jie said politely, but he couldn't hide his joy. He could see that Chang Yu liked his son very much.
"Brother Gao, it's too strange for you and me to say this. Yuan Jue is our nephew and we can't be empty-handed when we meet for the first time. When we grow up tomorrow, we have to blame our uncle for being stingy. Our family cannot afford to disgrace him. ".
Chang Yu's serious look made everyone laugh and agree.
Gao Jie also laughed: "In this case, I will stop being pretentious." As he said this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, I have an uninvited invitation. Look..."
"Just say it," Chang Yu waved his hand: "Why bother to be coy? This is not your style of excellence at all."
Gao Jie gritted his teeth, stood up and raised his glass to Chang Yu: "General Mo wants Yuan Jue to recognize you as his godfather!"
Chang Yu was stunned with a cry, and the lobby fell into silence for an instant. Everyone was shocked by this sentence and stopped what they were doing to stare at the little eunuch.
There are some things that cannot be avoided after all. Chang Yu smiled bitterly. Historically, after Gao Jie was assassinated by Xu Dingguo, Mrs. Xing was worried that the young Gao Yuanjue would not be able to control the situation, so she wanted him to recognize Shi Kefa as his godfather.
But he was rejected by Shi Kefa. There are various reasons. Most of them said that Shi Kefa looked down on Gao Jie. Although Gao Jie was one of the four towns in Jiangbei during the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the court relied heavily on him, because he was born and had a poor reputation as a bandit, Shi Kefa was a Traditional and pedantic literati looked down on Gao Jie from the bottom of their hearts.
So he introduced him to the eunuch Gao Qiqian and asked Gao Yuanjue to recognize him as his godfather.
Gao Qiqian is familiar to anyone who knows the history of the Ming Dynasty. To put it simply, he is more like Chang Yu's original form. During the Chongzhen era, he was considered the eunuch who knew the most about military matters. Like Cao Huachun and Wang Dehua, he also won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen. , often led troops to fight with various generals, and was a trend-setter of that period.
Although this man was famous, he had no real ability. He often fought with the army, but he either took credit or was afraid of fighting. Anyway, he accomplished nothing and dragged Lu Xiangsheng to death.
If this matter were left aside, other eunuchs or generals would have been beheaded long ago, but he couldn't bear the emperor's favor and his head was very stable. Last year, he and Sun Chuanting were scolded by Emperor Chongzhen due to disagreements with each other, and he was not allowed to enter the capital. Chang Yu has not yet When she met him, she secretly ordered her to keep an eye on him and kill him when it was convenient.
The reason why he wanted to kill him was not to avenge Lu Xiangsheng, because as a favored eunuch of Emperor Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, the emperor asked him to monitor Ning. He was appointed governor of the capital, but he was later demoted to the Qing Dynasty.
Why keep this without killing?
But no matter what, in the original history, he prospered and became Gao Yuanjue's godfather.
But now that Chang Yu is here, he has no chance to be the governor of the capital or Gao Yuanjue's godfather.
Unexpectedly, history is always surprisingly similar. Gao Yuanjue's godfather was still an eunuch, and the suggestion still came from Mrs. Xing.
Seeing Chang Yu's expression changing, Gao Jie was in a state of confusion: "I'm going to be rude, if the factory supervisor thinks it's inappropriate..."
"What I wish for is what I ask for." Chang Yu stood up and picked up the teacup. He had already seen through Gao Jie's thoughts. This kind of thing could be said in private, but in front of everyone, even if he couldn't refuse it, after all, Chang Yu's character must be He would not disgrace Gao Jie in front of so many people, let alone the time to win over him.
Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing were overjoyed and quickly asked Gao Yuanjue to kowtow and change his words. Everyone also raised their glasses to congratulate.
Unexpectedly, Chang Yu said something again at this time, which made everyone stunned: "Since Yuan Jue is my adopted son, why don't we and our family become brothers with General Gao?"
Hold the grass! Everyone was shocked, Li Muchian secretly shook his head, the little eunuch really sacrificed his capital.
With Chang Yu's mind, it was natural to see that Gao Jie wanted to tie him up, but it was as he wished, because Gao Jie was too important to him. After all, at this time, he really needed to have soldiers and food in his hands and dare to fight. A big warlord who dares to kill, but if you look at it, there are many warlords in the Ming Dynasty today, but there are only a few who meet the requirements. The others have their own agendas, and they do not obey orders.
Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji also meet the requirements, but these two people have great righteousness in their hearts. You only need to tell them that they will defend their country and join the bandits and kill the Tatars, and they will charge into battle with you without hesitation.
But Gao Jie can't do it. He doesn't have this awareness. If you want him to be obedient, you need to tie him up. In this case, tie him up more firmly.
Chang Yu's request was too unexpected for Gao Jie, but it was also something he dreamed of. Being able to become brothers with the most powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, he could advance, retreat or defend in this chaotic world, and he would be stable no matter what.
So he agreed without hesitation, and then held a ceremony amidst the congratulations of everyone. They put incense, kowtowed, and served tea, and the ceremony of sworn sworn fatherhood and recognition of godfather was completed in one go.
Chang Yu, who never drank, broke the rule and drank a lot. Gao Jie was so happy that he got drunk.
Late at night, Gao Jie was lying on the bed and murmuring: "How are you guys? Five leaders..." Mrs.
"Madam," the maid came in at this time: "It is said that Eunuch Chang wants to talk to you about something. Is it convenient for you to ask?"
It was naturally inconvenient for a woman to meet a man so late, but it was not inconvenient if the other party was Chang Yu, so Mrs. Xing hurriedly went to welcome Chang Yu into the lobby of the rear mansion.
Chang Yu took a sip of tea: "There were many people at the banquet and I didn't explain many things clearly enough. Let's talk in detail in the dead of night..." Mrs. Discuss directly with Mrs. Xing.
After all, Mrs. Xing will be responsible for these things in the future. Gao Jie is going to fight on the front line, and a rough guy like him can't do such fine work.
Under the flickering candlelight, Chang Yu and Mrs. Xing discussed and discussed in low voices. After more than an hour, they finally reached a consensus, and both parties were very happy. Seeing that the night was getting very late, Chang Yu had no intention of leaving. He picked up and put down the tea cup and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I still have something private to trouble my wife."
Mrs. Xing was a little puzzled that the prisoner had a personal matter and needed her help, so she listened, but was so shocked that she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"I hope my sister-in-law can keep this matter a secret," Chang Yu did not forget to tell her at the end.
"Don't worry, Mr. Factory Supervisor, if I get any news about this matter from my side, I am willing to pay for it with my life." Mrs. Xing swore, and Chang Yu feigned anger: "Mr. Factory Supervisor? Why is my sister-in-law still so outspoken?"
Mrs. Xing was startled and then laughed and said, "In that case, I'll have the guts to call you uncle."
"That's it." Chang Yu bowed his hand and said, "Sister-in-law is a generous and generous person. I will introduce you to some old friends in the future to talk about the past."
Mrs. Xing smiled slightly: "My uncle is talking about Li Yan and his wife. To be honest, I don't know them."
Chang Yu was startled and then realized that when Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing eloped, Li Yan had not yet become a thief: "But Liu Tiren's sister-in-law must be an old acquaintance. He will be arriving soon in Li Yan's army..."
"Brother-in-law," Mrs. Xing said sternly: "The past is unbearable to mention. It would be better not to see each other than not to see each other. It will only increase the embarrassment. Don't you think so?"
Yes, Chang Yu thought about it, after all, elopement was not a glorious thing at the beginning, and it would be a bit embarrassing to see it.
So he stood up and said goodbye: "I have to trouble my sister-in-law with the entrustment."
"My uncle's business is my own business, why should I be polite?" Mrs.
