It is said that when Changsun Sheng was still alive, the Gao family lived in the north wing of the backyard, which was the main seat, while the west courtyard was the residence of Changsun Wugao. However, after Changsun Sheng passed away, Changsun Anye became the head of the family.

Asked stepmother Gao to move out of the main seat.

The Gao family was knowledgeable and courteous, and had a relatively kind personality. He did not want to argue with his eldest grandson Anye, so as not to cause family disharmony, so he moved to the West Courtyard to live with his daughter eldest grandson Wugao, while the eldest grandson Anye and his wife moved in in a grand manner.

She took the main seat and regarded herself as the head and mistress of the family.

Changsun Wuji was quite dissatisfied with this. He could tolerate Changsun Anye bullying him, but he couldn't bear Changsun Anye bullying his mother, so he went to Changsun Anye to have a big quarrel in private, and almost started fighting, so

Nowadays, the relationship between the two brothers has dropped to a freezing point. Although they live under the same roof, they have never interacted with each other. They don't say hello when they meet, and they are like strangers.

Because of this, Changsun Wuji didn't want to stay in the house for any longer, and frequently went out to hang out with Li Shimin and others. If he had money, he would have bought another house and moved out. However, now all the money at home has been taken away by Changsun An.

He can't even get a penny under the supervision of a professional, and even living expenses are a problem. Where can he get the money to buy a house?

Let's say that Gao Bufan and Gao Shilian were led by the maid through the corridor and passed through the courtyard. After walking for about three or four minutes, they finally entered the west courtyard.

The maid who led the way stood outside the curtain and reported into the room: "My uncle has arrived. Mr. Gao Changqing of Pian County has come with my uncle to pay homage to my wife."

Gao Bufan's ears were very good, and he clearly heard a surprised whisper coming from inside, followed by a burst of panicked footsteps. After a moment, the answer came out: "Madam, please come in and meet Mr. Gao Changqing."

The maid who led the way raised the door curtain and said politely: "Uncle, Mr. Gao, please come in."

Gao Bufan smiled and nodded, and followed Gao Shilian into the house. In front of him was a small flower hall. The area was not large, probably about twenty square meters. There was a door on each side, and bead curtains hung low.

, estimated to be the rooms of Mr. Gao and Changsun Wujia respectively.

Gao Bufan glanced over, and did not see his eldest grandson Wugou. There was only a dignified woman sitting quietly on the Taishi chair, with a smile on her face and a kind face. There was a Tathagata Buddha statue in the middle of the wooden frame behind her.

, as well as wooden fish, rosary beads, scriptures and other objects used to worship Buddha, which shows that he is a devout Buddhist believer.

"Sister!" Gao Shilian bowed his head and saluted the woman sitting on the seat.

Gao was only two years older than Gao Shilian, and looked to be in his early thirties. He had fair skin, beautiful appearance, dignified and quiet, and his appearance was about 40% similar to his eldest grandson Wugu.

"Shi Lian is here, take a seat!" Mrs. Gao smiled gently, and as she spoke, her eyes glanced at the door on the left intentionally or unintentionally. The bead curtain on the door was still swaying gently.

Gao Bufan didn't squint his eyes, stepped forward and saluted: "Gao Changqing, a junior member of the Bohai Gao family, pays homage to Mrs. Changsun."

Mr. Gao carefully looked at Gao Bufan up and down, a smile gradually bloomed on his face, and nodded in praise: "What a handsome young man. It turns out that our Gao family in Bohai also has such a talented person. It is really a blessing from our ancestors.

If there are a few more young talents like Changqing, why worry about our Bohai Gao clan not being prosperous?"

"Mrs. Changsun is so complimentary, Changqing is ashamed!" Gao Bufan said modestly.

Gao Shilian introduced with a smile: "Sister Haojiao learned that Changqing comes from the lineage of King Langya. In terms of seniority, I should call you aunt, sister."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gao smiled even more cordially: "Haha, it turns out that Xiaofan is my nephew, no wonder he feels friendly just looking at him."

Gao Bufan smiled: "When my nephew saw his aunt, he felt like he had seen her before. It was as if he had met his mother."

Gao Shilian almost fell down. You boy is quite good at hitting snakes and following the stick, but you don't mind being rude. My sister dislikes people who are frivolous in their words and deeds.

In the end, Gao Bufan continued with a calm expression: "Maybe my mother is also a devout believer in Buddhism. Buddhism has a saying that comes from the heart. Therefore, my mother is as kind and kind as my aunt, so my nephew felt that he had seen her before. Maybe it’s fate.”

Mrs. Gao was a little displeased at first, but at the end she couldn't help but laugh, her smile becoming more friendly and kind: "You are a kid who can talk, well, Wu Gu did mention it to my humble wife, your father-in-law is a devout believer. , I also gave Wu Gu a handwritten Buddhist scripture as a gift. Well, when I get home, my aunt will give you one as well, how about treating it as a gift in return?"

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "The elder gave it to me and I dare not refuse. My nephew will thank Madam Changsun first on behalf of my mother."

Mr. Gao hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the maid standing beside him and said, "Go and ask the girl to fetch the Lankavatara Sutra that she copied before."

The maid left in response. After a moment, the beaded curtain on the left door was lifted, and a slim girl walked out. She was dressed in a plain dress, about twelve or thirteen years old, with eyebrows like spring mountains and daisy, bright eyes and a face like a bright moon. If the lips were greased and the upper lip was slightly raised, it always looked like he was smiling. He was clearly the eldest grandson Wugao after more than a year.

Changsun Wugou's eyes met Gao Bufan's, and he pursed his lips and smiled slightly. His eyes were gentle and peaceful, dignified and majestic, which was heart-breaking.

Gao Bufan smiled politely, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I have met Miss Changsun."

The eldest grandson, Wugou, wore a white belt around his slender waist and a small white flower in his bun, indicating that he was wearing a mourning hat. He returned the favor to Gao Bufan and said warmly, "Wugou has met Mr. Gao."

After not seeing each other for more than a year, the eldest grandson Wugou has grown a lot taller. The thirteen-year-old girl looks more graceful and graceful. Standing with Gao Bufan, they look like a couple. Gao was both happy and embarrassed when he saw this!

In fact, Gao's and Gao Shilian's mentality was similar. Gao understood her husband's wishes during his lifetime, which was to "admit" the best between Gao Bufan and Li Shimin. Seeing that Gao Bufan was born handsome, handsome, and young, Naturally, she was greatly moved by the sudden rise in fame and the title of shepherd supervisor of Zhuo County by the emperor. However, Shimin's child obviously had a richer family background, and he and Wuji were childhood friends, so it was really difficult to deal with it.

"Mother, this is the Galeng Sutra you want." Changsun Wugou presented a Buddhist sutra in front of his mother Gao.

Looking at her precious daughter who was holding the Buddhist scriptures in her hands, like a pure lotus from the dust, Gao suddenly felt a little regretful, because this Buddhist scripture was handwritten by her daughter, and the Buddhist scriptures that Chen gave to her daughter were handwritten by Gao Changqing. , but now he is giving back the Buddhist scriptures handwritten by his daughter, wouldn’t it be like... that, if this matter spreads, Tang Guogong and his wife will inevitably misunderstand after learning about it!

In fact, if one really had to choose between Gao Bufan and Li Shimin to be his son-in-law, the Gao family would prefer Erlang of the Li family. Firstly, the Li family has a strong family background, which will definitely help Wuji even more. Secondly, Shimin is a kid who is good at all. She knew her roots well, but she only had a one-time relationship with Gao Bufan. She didn't know much about Gao Bufan, and she didn't know his true character. If he was a person with a lot of gold and a lot of bad things, wouldn't it be harmful to Wu Gu for the rest of his life?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gao picked up the "Lenga Sutra" and flipped through it. He smiled and said: "You kid, why are you so confused? This is not the one you want for your mother. Wait, go to my room and get that one."

"The Lankavatara Sutra" is the one that has been opened in Fayuan Temple."

The attendant was the personal maid of Changsun Wugou. Hearing the words, he agreed and went to the room on the right. After a while, he took out a Buddhist scripture, which was the "Langga Sutra". One look at the cover showed that it was mass-produced.

Printed script is used by temples to give to pilgrims.

Gao took the "Lenga Sutra", looked at the cover, and said with a smile: "By the way, this is it. It was consecrated by the eminent monk of Fayuan Temple. I think your family will like it."

As Gao said that, he asked the attendant to hand over the "Lenga Sutra" to Gao Bufan, while the "Langha Sutra" handwritten by his daughter, grandson Wugao, was casually placed on the table next to him without mentioning it.

After all, Mr. Gao has seen the world, and is quite skillful in adapting to situations. He was able to reverse this dilemma in a few words and avoid embarrassment on both sides.

Gao Bufan didn't seem to notice anything. He smiled and thanked him, took the printed version of "Lenga Sutra", and put it in his arms. Changsun Wugou opened his mouth slightly, but hesitated to speak, and there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes.
