Although it is not the wedding day yet, the door of Yu Jin's house is already full of guests. The streets are jammed with the crowds of entourage and horses who came to congratulate them. This also shows that Yu Jin is really popular nowadays, whether in Bafu or in Bafu.
You can get along well in the court.
Under the leadership of Yu Kuan, Li Tai walked into the house through the side door of Yu's house for family members to enter and exit. Entering the house was the inner courtyard.
Before he could even open his eyes and look around, the laughter of orioles and swallows could be heard coming from a corridor in the inner house.
A maid in the screen of the tent heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, so she looked out, and then quickly pulled back. The laughter in the corridor suddenly subsided a lot.
But soon, a woman in rich makeup walked out from behind the curtain, pointed at Yu Kuan and frowned, saying, "Erlang, how could you bring outsiders into the inner house without any notice!"
Yu Kuan first smiled apologetically at Li Tai, then turned around and walked over, bowing his head and saying respectfully: "Auntie, I was ordered by my uncle to bring Governor Li Lang of Longxi to the residence to meet me. There were many people at the front door, so I entered through the side door.
"
After hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, then her expression calmed down. She glanced at Li Tai from a distance, then signaled Yu Kuan to come a few steps closer, and asked in a low voice: "This Commander-in-Chief Li is the master who is always in the hall."
The mentioned Li Boshan, the direct grandson of Duke Xuan Jinggong of Longxi? He looks young, but his position is already so grand..."
After Yu Kuan heard the words, he nodded, and then the woman said thoughtfully: "I don't dare to interfere with your interpersonal communication outdoors. But the children who used to know each other are close enough to walk in the inner courtyard. If
If you don't meet them, it's probably not the way to treat guests. Just like this, you can introduce people here."
"Here, here, uncle is already waiting in the middle hall..."
When Yu Kuan heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, but when he saw the woman frowning, he could only bow down and respond.
Li Tai stood under the wall not far away, with his head lowered as he was not looking at any wrongdoing. He didn't dare to look around. He waited until Yu Kuan came back to tell him, but he didn't think much about it. He straightened his robe and followed Yu Kuan.
Walk behind you to the corridor.
When he entered the corridor, he saw that there were twenty or thirty women, large and small, sitting or standing inside, all looking at him. Li Tai suddenly felt a little regretful, but he was not so embarrassed that he broke into a cold sweat, but he was
Watching people watch like this is never a pleasant experience.
Following Yu Kuan's guidance, he slowly walked forward and briefly greeted Yu Jin's wife. The mistress of the Zai family did not leave him to talk to her. She smiled and exchanged a few words to indicate that they could leave.
After the two of them left, Mrs. Yu turned to the female guests and said with a smile: "After all, I am not a child raised in an ordinary family. He is so bright and dazzling. It is very eye-catching to see. It is even more difficult to rely on Hu Li Yu.
A tacky young man who lives a quiet life and has a strong mind. For a moment, he couldn't think of any other young man in Kansai who could compare with him!
This husband has an important position and usually does not have much free time to wander around the houses. He happens to be a guest today, so he will introduce it to all the ladies. If there is a girl in the boudoir of each family who is waiting for a wife, seeing such a good man, it will be a big surprise.
Don’t be shy about plotting!”
The female guests who could enter the hall of Jin's house were naturally housewives from noble families in the two cities. When Mrs. Yu said this, their expressions showed their emotions. Only one lady sighed: "I have a good family background."
, the talents are even better. I heard that I came to the court alone, and I am afraid that I will not be able to prosper my family..."
As soon as the lady finished speaking, before anyone else could refute, her girl sitting at the table became dissatisfied: "My mother is too cunning to say that, but De Ruyilang has him in her eyes and heart, so she doesn't care about the household."
How many others are there?
It’s not like I don’t have parents and brothers to rely on, and I don’t have to worry about worshiping my aunt. I will have a happy and prosperous family next year! People from such a family background are still picky. How much my mother hates women.
, must be assigned to military commanders..."
After hearing this, the lady was naturally embarrassed and very fierce and fierce. She first confessed to Mrs. Yu, then dragged her daughter out of the corridor and walked out of the corridor. She stood in the corner and scolded:
"You little girl are really stupid. Do you know that only those who are picky are the buyers?
So the mistress of the Yu family is really kind-hearted in introducing good matches to other families? Who at the table can't see that this husband is attractive and powerful? She is inciting those servants who don't know their own abilities to knock on other people's doors to find out the details. I
You are here to make mistakes and talk to her. How can you, a stupid woman, be crazy about life and talk nonsense..."
The girl didn't have the scheming skills of a mature woman. When she heard her mother's reprimand, her eyelids shed tears as soon as she blinked: "I, I don't know, I know these measurements... So what should I do? I've said it all... Anyway
No, it can’t be that this matter just fails?”
"I never expected it to be true, so I said it was a failure! But with such a character, it is worth giving up the reserve to visit and test. If it succeeds, it will add glory to the lintel, but if it doesn't..."
When the lady said this, she saw several female guests from other households walking out of the corridor and summoned the slaves to leave. Dangzhi pointed at her own woman and said: "Wipe away the tears on your face, let's go into the hall and say goodbye. The momentum is no better than others.
Fight sooner rather than later!"
After hearing this, the girl burst into laughter, wiped away her tears, and looked at the ladies from each family who were sitting and laughing and chatting with each other before, but now left in a hurry with their parents, a bit of anger flashed in their eyes.
Yu Kuan ushered Li Tai into the middle hall, went in first to report, and briefly described what had just happened. Yu Jin was silent for a moment after listening, and after a while he scolded: "Nonsense! This kid has many good intentions and is restless.
Being kind to each other may help you, but being friendly may be a burden..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and told Yu Kuan to introduce Li Tai. He also stood up from the table to greet Li Tai. When he saw Li Tai walking into the hall, he pointed at him and said with a warm smile: "Long time no see.
Boshan, you look even more energetic! I am not rude when I send my younger brother to greet you. I have something to do for you, and you are not allowed to refuse!"
"It's an honor for Boshan to be able to serve at the command of the general. How dare you say anything!"
Li Tai first bowed to Yu Jinchang, and then said with a smile, and then said with a sad look: "But when the envoy returned to the house, he was intercepted before entering. He has not yet come to worship the Lord. If he goes to the powerful family first to ask for it, he may be guilty of breach of integrity."
, the general can’t ignore me if I’m going to be blamed in the future!”
"According to your words, I am willing to give up. I will ask you to be my son-in-law and best groomsman in the future."
Yu Jin walked down the hall, patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said with a smile, then turned and pointed to the outside of the hall: "I myself still deeply seek the perfection of integrity, how can I let you be so unworthy of me? Let's go to see the Lord together!"
While he was talking, he pulled Li Tai out of the central hall, and his emotions intercepted him in advance. It was really just for such a trivial matter.
Li Tai didn't think much about it. Maybe there was a custom in this era that a handsome man must be chosen as the best man when getting married. Yu Jin is so discerning, Li Tai really can't argue with him unconscionably, but he doesn't
Do you know if you can be a bridesmaid when you get married?
Yu Jin's house is not far from Taifu, just half a street away.
A few miles away, it usually only took half an hour to walk and drive, but the front of Yu Jin's house was already surrounded by visitors' cars and horses. After setting up the ceremonial guard to clear the street for a long time, the two of them took the car to the front of Taifu.
They said they were traveling together, but after Yu Jin entered Taifu, he was led directly into the military city and entered along the shortcut. Li Tai did not have such treatment, so he could only walk through various places under the guidance of the visitors from Taifu.
Cao's office went to the main hall of Taifu.
Although he has only been away for more than half a year, many new faces have been added to the Ba family. It can be seen that the personnel of the Tai family have also changed greatly in the past period.
These new faces also followed the old behavior of the Taifu. They walked with wind at their feet. Occasionally they looked at Li Tai, but they were not familiar with each other and walked away in a hurry. Few people came to greet them.
.
Although Li Tai was addicted to absenteeism in Taifu, he also regarded himself as an old man in Taifu. Seeing that these new faces were unfamiliar and indifferent to him, he wanted to ask them if they had clocked in today?
When he walked to the main corridor of Taifu where he was waiting to be called, Li Taicai finally saw an acquaintance, but he was also someone he didn't really want to see.
Changsun Shaoyuan, who had just walked out of the Zhitang performance, was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Tai. His expression froze for a moment before he looked back and disappeared. However, after walking a certain distance, he stopped again, turned his head and squeezed out a
There was a bit of a stiff smile, but Li Tai didn't even pay attention to him and followed the visitor directly to the hall.
Although his expression only changed for a moment, Changsun Shaoyuan's mood changed drastically in his heart. I don't know what kind of battle between heaven and man he went through before he secretly decided to bow to reality, but he didn't expect to be left aside.
He stood silently for a moment, and the slightly stiff smile on his face was a little embarrassed at first, but soon turned bitter.
Although it was only half a year apart, the situation between them had undergone earth-shaking changes. He was appointed as a subordinate official in the Bafu from being the official secretary of the court. Although he was also the high-ranking right prime minister, he was just a mouthpiece to pass the news up and down. The Taifu
Anyone involved in confidentiality is excluded, and those who hold positions do not live up to their reputation.
But Li Tai's relatives are in strategic positions inside and outside. Even he himself has thousands of troops to guard the three defenses. The attack methods that were used and not used last year are no longer able to hurt him at all, and may even be used.
You also have to worry about whether the other party will retaliate.
Li Tai didn't have time to think about how the eldest son, Sun Shaoyuan, felt. He was thinking about whether he would find any acquaintances in the Taifu later and find an opportunity to give eldest son Shaoyuan a slap in the face. He lowered his head and walked into the hall.
He had just entered the main hall and before he had time to pray, Yu Wentai in the hall had already slapped his arms and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the boy is getting more courageous. Why do you think I don't treat you well?"
Li Tai was shuddered when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly to himself. This sudden way of greeting was something wrong. If he wasn't used to it, he might be able to fake some truth one day.
Sure enough, before he could answer, Yu Wentai laughed again: "The Yu family is very kind to you. If you don't come back to the house, can I ask if there is anything I can do for you? I will first accept the offer from his best friend."
labor!"
Let me ask you, do you want me to be the groom for Yu Laoer?
Li Tai slandered his belly and went forward to pay homage: "The general did not keep his word. He said that he would cover up the Lord's accusations for me, so I secretly responded with joy. If I don't agree, it is inevitable to blame me. I also want to eat my words, but I'm afraid
If you are disgusted with both things, you will treat the bride’s relatives and guests hospitably on the day of the wedding, provide you with generous food and drinks, and never cherish anything for the master’s family!”
