Li Po didn't spend the night at Li Xiuning's house. Well, the main reason was that he had too many things to do and had no time to pay attention.
While walking on the road, Li Po looked at the sky. It was sunset, and the smoke in Chang'an City was dim and full of mundane smells. Now he only wanted to have dinner when he went back. He didn't want to get involved in government affairs today.
After working hard for half a year, he was persuaded by He Chou once, and his mood improved. He felt that there were so many things in the world, and it was too urgent to rush. It was better to take a rest first. He was indeed overwhelmed by political affairs and almost couldn't breathe. .
So I only thought about it for a moment and then ordered: "Go and ask King Wu Du Fuwei if he is at home. If so, let him greet you."
There is no need to change the route, Du Fuwei's residence is also in the Buzhengfang on the edge of the Imperial City. Originally, Li Po wanted to get him a residence in the Imperial City to live in. After all, he is the King of Wu and is qualified to live in the Imperial City. Within the city.
Moreover, because Li Po had no clan members and none of his children had grown up, there were many empty mansions in the imperial city. Li Yuan's royal relatives did not bother to drive him away, and they all seemed to flee when he entered the city. .
Now only Cheng Guo's wife Xiao lives in the former Qin Prince's Mansion. At night, there are only a few lights in the imperial city, like a ghost town, which looks a bit scary.
I originally thought about letting Du Fuwei's family live here to increase its popularity.
But Du Fuwei had his own plans. He was a guy who tried his best to get closer to the wealthy families. After asking about the architectural layout of Chang'an, he did not hesitate to choose Buzhengfang, a place where nobles gathered, to live.
And now they should be actively looking for a marriage partner. In fact, Li Po will help with this. Only when the emperor shows his favor and expresses his attitude can the nobles feel at ease to associate with him. Otherwise, whoever can't think of it will end up dating him. A prince who came to surrender came too close?
Of course, the biggest obstacle is that Du Fuwei's family background is too small. If he wants to integrate into the circle of aristocratic families, many families have to accumulate and pass on the experience for several generations before they can be recognized by the nobles.
Du Fuwei is like this... Li Po can only give him two words, which is quite embarrassing.
When we reached the northern section of Zhuque Street, the people who were sent out came back and said, "Your Majesty, King Wu is at home and is waiting outside the gate of the palace."
Li Po was a little disappointed. It was a pity that Du Fuwei didn't go out for the night. Otherwise, he might have gone over to see what was new.
……………………
Li Po guessed wrong. Du Fuwei's nightlife hadn't started yet. In fact, he was about to take someone out to have fun.
After receiving the message, he quickly called all the family members out and gave them instructions. Then a group of people left the house to welcome the arrival of the Supreme Being.
Du Fuwei was also a little confused. Why did the Supreme come to our house this night? Are you here to have dinner or do you want to have a drink with me, Lao Du? Should I take this opportunity to invite the Supreme to Caiyufang for a relaxing time? Now what? He is very familiar...
When he came outside the gate of the mansion, he called Ma Zhou to his side and asked carelessly, "What do you think the Supreme Being came here for? Is it something you mentioned a while ago?"
Ma Zhou took a look at this unreliable proprietor and thought to himself, I am not a worm in the emperor's belly, so who knows why he is here?
But he said: "No matter what, your Majesty just needs to remember not to talk about ambitions, and don't comment on heroes. The Supreme Being can just answer whatever you ask."
Du Fuwei rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and said in his heart, he is as timid as a mouse.
He hummed twice to express his dissatisfaction. Ma Zhou looked at him and said disapprovingly, "Don't even think about getting some beautiful women to accompany you... I think introducing your family to the Supreme Being is better than anything else."
Du Fuwei thought this suggestion was a good one, but it was a pity that he did not have a son. Otherwise, asking his son to give the Supreme Lord a few glasses of wine would definitely bring a lot of benefits in the future. Son-in-law... Forget it, he himself did not like them all.
Don't act ugly and behave yourself in front of the emperor. If you don't tell me, you may lose my face and make the emperor unhappy.
Let Xiaoyao show up, the emperor should remember his promise to find her a good husband, right? If he doesn't remember, just remind him so that he won't forget.
…………………………
When Li Po arrived, Du Fuwei laughed and strode forward to greet him. Li Po was really afraid that he would come up and give him a hug, which would be really embarrassing.
Just like when Luo Shixin returned to Yunnei from Hebei, he hugged Li Po and walked around in front of everyone. That feeling is still fresh in my memory.
Fortunately, Du Fuwei still knew how to behave. He bowed to the ground and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than two months, and it's like three autumns. Your Majesty can come to see me. I'm so happy that I don't know what to say."
"
Li Po also laughed, and gave him a hand, "No need to be too polite, I just came over to see if you are doing well. If not, wouldn't it be disrespectful to me to treat guests?"
In fact, there was no need to ask. Looking at Du Fuwei, whose face was glowing and full of energy, Li Po knew that this guy was doing well. According to reports, this was also the case. This guy was wandering around Chang'an City, like a mouse that had entered a granary.
Running around happily.
Du Fuwei laughed endlessly and led Li Po to the door first, "The Supreme Lord treats his ministers so kindly. If I have said something bad, how can I still have a conscience?
The life I am living now is like living a life filled with immortals. If I could always be so carefree, I would be satisfied."
Li Po looked at him and thought to himself, if you continue to spend money like this, you will probably need me to help you out soon, right?
If Du Fuwei heard his voice, he would definitely feel no pressure. Spending these days eating, drinking and having fun in Chang'an was only a drop in the bucket for him.
Otherwise, he would not feel that he has too much money and no place to spend it, so he would like to build some academy. He is different from the bitter Dou Jiande. Hai Yi over Jiangdu is still making a steady stream of profits for him, even if
Even after he left there, his subordinates would still leave a share for him for a long time.
According to this principle, if there is anyone who least wants another war in Jiangdu, Du Fuwei is one of them.
The two of them talked and then came to the main reception hall of the mansion. When Li Po sat down, Du Fuwei immediately ordered people to serve food and wine. After hearing Ma Zhou's words, Du Fuwei called his family members over and asked them to salute the Supreme Being.
say hello.
Li Po looked at it and felt a little dizzy. Among the group of women, none of Du Fuwei's son-in-law could be seen. He was almost like a son-in-law. He had no status in Du Fuwei's family. By the way, he also observed three minutes of silence for Du Fuwei. He didn't have a son.
Life in this world can be a bit miserable.
It's just that Du Fuwei is still young. Looking at his cheerfulness, there should be no problem in giving birth to a son. Li Po also hopes that he can give birth to a son. With worries in Chang'an, this person may be more stable.
Speaking of which, the women of the Du Fuwei family, like him, have a certain aura of recklessness about them. Considering their age, they all grew up in wars, and they probably can't even lift a sword or ride a horse.
Du Fuwei's first wife was the woman he married when he was a thief, so the situation in Du Fuwei's and Dou Jiande's homes was similar.
What's even more amazing is that both of them have no sons, and those who have sons have lost their lives. Only the two princes without descendants are still alive. Do you think this seems like God's will?
The food and wine were arranged, but Du Fuwei only left his youngest daughter behind. The meaning was self-evident.
Li Po heard the song and knew its elegant meaning. He took a moment to ask, "Whose son have you fallen in love with?"
Du Fuwei didn't answer, but waved his daughter to pour wine for Li Po. Li Po was startled and thought, "You don't want your daughter to enter the palace, do you?"
Although the girl is not broad-shouldered and round-waisted, she still has a strong figure. Even if she has a low eyebrow, the fierceness hidden inside is ready to come out. She has the potential of a tigress at first glance.
While pouring wine for Li Po, he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to my uncle's nonsense. Those high-ranking families have many rules. I don't understand anything. I might be kicked out if I go there...
I... want to find a general with a lower family background to be my husband. Scholars are too clever, so I can't play with him. It's easier to kill the Han."
Li Po immediately felt relieved. He had an idea, he was quite courageous, and his face was as good as his father's. He talked about the wedding himself without any hesitation, even with his later friends.
Compared with women, I guess they are no different.
It seems that there is a soul yearning for freedom living in her body, which is more interesting, so Li Po looked at Du Fuwei with a half-smile, meaning that your daughter has spoken, so what about you as a father?
What about the argument?
Du Fuwei reluctantly rebuked his daughter. From the looks of it, he must have held a family meeting before and knew his daughter's intentions. This time, he probably didn't want to give up and wanted the emperor to marry off his disobedient daughter.
.
"I neglected to discipline my family, which made the Supreme laugh. I would like to ask the Supreme for advice. What kind of son-in-law should I find for my daughter?"
Well, this is the first time Li Po has encountered this kind of problem. Speaking of which, Du Fuwei is probably the only one who can blame his daughter's lifelong events on him.
Of course, judging from Du Fuwei's behavior, this move is not surprising.
Li Po looked at him with a headache. He said he had agreed that you would choose your son-in-law and I would marry him, so how come it has become my business?
After thinking for a while, he said: "As far as you are concerned, it doesn't matter which family you marry with. Even if you have Yuan, Gao, Yuwen and other famous families, as long as I speak, they will not dare to respond.
But as the saying goes, if two families marry, it is better to have two surnames. So how much friendship do you think can be forged by marrying them? If over time, hatred will arise, then why do the two families get married?
Therefore, I advise you to think about it carefully. Marrying a daughter is not to recruit a son-in-law... If the marriage is not successful, it will become an enemy. Wouldn't it be counterproductive?"
If others said this, Du Fuwei might just ignore it, and at most he would be confused. But depending on the person speaking, Du Fuwei's feelings would be different.
Finally, he sighed deeply and said: "What the Supreme Lord said is true, alas... I still have a poor family background. Everyone pays attention to being of the same family when getting married. Even if I become the King of Wu, those people will look down on me, so naturally they will not look down on me.
My daughter...
The Supreme Being is so capable that he was able to marry the daughter of a Kansai family before he became wealthy, which is really admirable."
Frustrated, he started to talk nonsense, but he said it sincerely. If it were later, he might give a thumbs up and yell, you are really awesome (prevent harmony).
