...These various advantages made Yu Wensong want to make friends with the Gu family.
He inquired about the Gu family's route and itinerary, then brought his troops to greet them.
Finally, I successfully met the Gu family at a post station seven or eight hundred miles away from the capital.
As he wished, Yuwen Song met Gu Yulang and Gu Yi, whom he had admired for a long time.
Gu Yi's nickname "Yulang" was given to him by his elder brother-in-law, the former emperor of the Southern Dynasty.
The late emperor admired Gu Yi very much and was very close to him.
The first thing he said was "my dear Jade Man".
Gradually, Gu Yi was given the nickname Gu Yulang.
As for "Gu Sheren", this is easy to understand.
Gu Yi's first official position was as the Crown Prince's attendant to the previous emperor, who was still the Crown Prince. A true Crown Prince, a minister.
It was because he became the prince's attendant that Gu Yi was valued by the prince and was subsequently granted marriage by the emperor, becoming the prince's consort.
Afterwards, Gu Yi experienced ups and downs in his official career, and his highest position was the Secretary of the Secretariat.
If there were no powerful minister like Chen Jing, and if he had not avoided his father, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he would have been the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
However, because he became the Secretary of the Secretariat, the name "Gu Sheren" became even more famous.
Even Yuwen Song of the Northern Dynasty had heard of his name and referred to him as Gu Sheren.
As for Gu Jiayulang, it was just a joke, not for fun, but to bring the two sides closer together.
"General Yuwen, thank you for your kind words. My courtesy name is Xunzhi."
Gu Yi was gentle and elegant, and took the initiative to introduce himself.
Ahem, if you want to show closeness, you can just call someone by their courtesy name.
Don’t mention Yulang anymore.
Gu Yi is already a grandfather and really doesn’t want to talk about the “interesting things” from his youth.
"Brother Xunzhi, haha, my courtesy name is Changqing. I'm a few years older than you, so why don't you just call me brother?"
Seeing that Gu Yi was willing to get close to him and did not put on airs as a southern aristocrat, Yuwen Song became more active.
"Brother Changqing!"
Gu Yi followed suit and bowed again.
"Okay! Xunzhi, we'll be good brothers from now on!"
Yuwensong was very enthusiastic. After just a few words, he and Gu Yi became half-brothers.
In the inner room on the other side, Princess Jiangling and other female concubines were also chatting with Yuwen Song's "family concubine".
"Young Master Yuwen, how old are you this year? Have you started school yet?"
Princess Jiangling looked at the little boy of eight or nine years old with a smile and approval on her face.
This Yuwen Heng is said to be the youngest son of General Yuwen.
Although he is young and has average talent, he is hardworking and diligent.
The little boy, wearing a specially customized small armor, looks very heroic.
"As expected of a general!"
A beautiful middle-aged woman kneeling below the Grand Princess of Jiangling also followed suit in praising her.
She was the wife of Gu Yi's half-brother Gu Ji, and also came from a Southern Dynasty clan.
The Xie family of Chenjun is the "Xie" in the world-famous "Wang Xie".
Xie is about thirty years old, with outstanding looks and good temperament.
Unlike royal noble ladies like the Grand Princess of Jiangling, Xie was a typical girl from an aristocratic family, elegant yet arrogant.
Xie's kneeling posture was very standard, and her words and actions were all typical of a noble family.
Beside Mrs. Xie, her daughter-in-law and daughter were kneeling.
Whether it is the bride or the daughter, they all look well-behaved.
"The boy is nine years old this year and is studying at the Hongwenguan."
Yuwen Heng puffed out his chest, with a slight blush on his fair face.
The young boy was suddenly surrounded by a group of noble ladies in gorgeous clothes. Although he was well-informed, he couldn't help feeling a little shy.
"Excellent! Young Master is both civil and martial, and has an extraordinary bearing!"
Princess Jiangling spoke politely and diplomatically.
Xie agreed with a smile.
Only Gu Youyi, who was kneeling beside Xie, had a strange glint in her eyes.
"Yuwen Heng, the future Holy Ancestor Martial Emperor, who is both civil and military, and who has unified the north and the south, is certainly extraordinary!"
"So, this is what Yuwen Heng looked like when he was young."
"The Yuwen family is of the Xianbei ethnic group, with deep eyes and a high nose. Yuwen Heng's biological mother is Han Chinese. As a mixed-race, Yuwen Heng's appearance is naturally more outstanding."
"...To be fair, Xiao Sanniang is indeed not worthy of Yuwen Heng."
Gu Youyi stood up straight, with her head slightly lowered, lost in thought.
She is Gu Qing's cousin, and because they are of similar age, the sisters have a good relationship.
However, even though they were blood sisters, Gu Youyi could not say against her conscience: Gu Qing and Yuwen Heng were a match made in heaven.
Yes, Aqing’s talent, temperament and character are all extremely outstanding.
However, just the appearance alone, just...
In Gu Youyi's mind, a scene she saw in her previous life could not help but emerge -
Sitting next to the young and handsome Emperor Gao, Yuwen Heng, was an ugly woman with dark skin and flat features.
Although the ugly woman had a good temperament and was well-educated.
However, when people first saw her, they saw that she was a dark and ugly woman, and could not see that she was well-read.
Sometimes, temperament and other qualities also need to be complemented by appearance.
Gu Qing is too ugly and is not worthy of Yuwen Heng, who is both talented and handsome.
Gu Youyi didn't know what she was thinking about, and her fair and tender face suddenly turned red...
