Probably because people feel refreshed during happy events, when Li Tai walked out of the room in the early morning, he felt that the morning sun was brighter and warmer than usual.
After breakfast, Shuofeng was not in a hurry to go to school, so he made a detour here. When he saw that Li Tai was wearing neither red nor white, but an inconspicuous ocher-yellow robe, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Ah Brother, it's not like you're going to be a guest, you're going to work in the fields, yellow-skinned eels..."
"Go to the dormitory!"
Li Tai glared at him angrily, "You know what the hell, I'm wearing a yellow robe, my buffs are full, I'm going to soar into the sky soon!"
Nowadays, the Northern Dynasty has never had the strict and orderly uniform color system as in the Tang Dynasty. Although there was a fifth-class public uniform system after Emperor Xiaowen's reform, ocher is still not a noble color, and it can also be worn by common people. Just like some Feng Suo laughed at him, he looked like an old farmer getting ready to go to the fields.
But the color of the robe is only a detail after all, and the style depends on the background color. Wearing this ocher yellow robe, Li Tai felt refreshed and felt that it was more auspicious than the bright red and purple robe. Full of satisfaction.
Before he could have breakfast here, Cui Yansheng had already arrived attentively. Seeing that Li Tai was meticulously dressed and well-dressed, he looked more dignified and elegant than usual, and the smile on his face was thicker. He patiently had breakfast in the village, and then Impatiently, he urged Li Tai to go out.
This year, Shang Yuan Manor has expanded outwards. Although it is not yet adjacent to Dugu Family Manor, the distance between them has become closer.
The morning market had already opened outside the village, and the crowds were noisy. Li Tai simply walked east from the valley villa. There was no need to ride horses and followers at such a short distance, so he only took a few followers with him, and walked as a car to enjoy the scenery along the way. Morning view of the valley.
If this trip goes well and everything comes true, then Duguxin will have to add this manor on the east slope of Shangyuan as a dowry. When the two villages are combined into one household and connected by a dirt road, Li Tai will become the largest manor in Shangyuan. Landowners and Shang Yuan Village can also have more abundant land.
Thinking like this all the way, he unknowingly arrived at the door of the Dugu family manor. From a distance, Li Tai saw that the dirt road in front of the manor had just been sprinkled with water to suppress the dust. The door was even covered with carpets. He looked like he was entertaining distinguished guests, and the smile on his face couldn't help but grow even more. Although he was very happy, he still sighed humbly: "This is not the first time for a stranger to visit, but Dugu's opening of the mansion is so kind and hospitable. It's really scary!"
"The Governor has misunderstood. Dugu Kaifu is not at the manor today. It's just that a few members of my family have temporarily borrowed the Kaifu Manor to entertain the Governor here!"
After Cui Yansheng heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and quickly explained.
"Dugu Kaifu is not here?"
Li Tai was stunned after hearing this, and his thoughts were stuck for a while. What's going on? You want to marry your daughter to me, but you don't want to meet me in person and discuss it in person. Isn't it a bit crazy?
However, he soon realized that he might have been mistaken. He had preconceived the idea that Cui Yansheng was under the command of Dugu Xin. In fact, if he thought about it carefully, if Dugu Xin really wanted to discuss such a family matter with him, there would be no need to bother with it. Let Cui Yansheng come forward to invite.
But if it wasn't Dugu Xin's instruction, why did Cui Yansheng invite him so solemnly? They were working together in the same office, and they would not look up when meeting each other. If it was just an ordinary matter, and they couldn't say anything directly, why bother to go to such trouble? Could it be that their family was also greedy? Own?
He was still making suspicious guesses here, but Cui Yansheng already said with a smile: "It is indeed a bit presumptuous to invite today without telling the truth. It's just that we are in a hurry, and we don't have time to pay for it. The truth is that there is a girl in the boudoir of my cousin's house. , I have always admired the Governor's young talents, and because of the convenience of my job in the department, I must invite the Governor to take the time to meet him. If we are happy to meet each other, naturally we will be happy. Yahuai, although I feel deeply sorry, I also hope that I can avoid hurting my feelings..."
When Li Tai heard these words, he was a little dumbfounded. This was such a mistake that made people laugh and cry.
He originally thought that Dugu Xin invited him to be his son-in-law today. He had already put on the yellow robe and was waiting to get the buff, but he didn't expect that it was actually the Cui family who invited him to become his brother-in-law with Dugu Xin!
What should I do? Is it possible that a good old husband can only call me brother-in-law when we meet in the future?
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but complain to Dugu Xin, "Look what's happening in your family? Shiliu is not greedy for me every day or two, one or two, just say it if you love me, it's like this now" Your father-in-law wants to poach you, what should I do?
After learning the truth, his legs felt as heavy as lead. The situation suddenly became weird. He really didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but he subconsciously resisted and moved forward.
It's not that he looks down on the Cui family from the bottom of his heart, but this situation is really contrary to his expectations. No matter how delicious your Yangzhou fried rice is, it's not appropriate to sell it in a Sichuan restaurant.
Cui Yansheng also looked at Li Tai uneasily. Seeing his sudden change in expression and his footsteps stopping, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He quickly lowered his hands and clasped his fists and said, "If the Governor feels resentful because he did not report the truth before he despised his position, A humble position..."
"Joining the army is a serious statement, but this incident was really too sudden and caught me off guard!"
Li Tai raised his hand to interrupt Cui Yansheng's apology. He collected his chaotic thoughts for a while, and then asked again: "I would like to ask if you know about joining the army and opening the mansion in Dugu?"
What he wants to find out most right now is naturally whether Dugu Xin knew about it or not. If Dugu Xin knew about it but still didn't stop it, then he obviously had a fundamental misunderstanding about this matter. Dugu Xin did not want to marry his daughter to him at all. the meaning of.
If the real situation is like this, then there is nothing to say. As Gao Bailing said, you can't grab anything you can't ask for? I am a great male protagonist in Shuangshuang. He can step into the cesspit of giving away girls!
That Lady Miaoyin is destined to be married to me, and you, the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, can't protect her. It's all your own family's fault that you can't become a big woman! When I snatch the lady away, I'll run to the east to pay homage to my big brother He Liuhun, and let the east side Korean Rail to talk to you.
But if Dugu Xin doesn't know about it, and this situation is just a mistake caused by lack of communication between the two, it would be a bit of a headache. But it's not him who has a headache, it's Dugu Xin who has a headache. Your son-in-law almost became a brother-in-law, so I ask you if you are happy?
When Cui Yansheng heard this, his expression became a little unnatural. Whether the two families were talking about marriage or not, they were talking to each other. Does Duguxin know that it is important?
However, he still said patiently: "Dugu Kaifu didn't know this, but the mistress of his household was a virtuous lady in our family. She knew that there was something going on at home, so she enthusiastically lent her to the village. It's not that she didn't want to entertain the governor in the indoor hall, it was also I secretly planned that the Governor has been very busy recently, and I was afraid that he would be disturbed by the traveling back and forth, so I took the opportunity to entertain him in this place without permission."
Of course, children from a family like the Cui family don't have to worry about getting married, but it also depends on who the partner is.
Li Tai's current popularity is really astonishing. If he entertains people in the city, he will inevitably fall into the eyes of interested people. No matter whether he succeeds or not, there will inevitably be noise and nuisance. Therefore, choosing to meet here is a bit hidden from the eyes of others. , I hope this matter will not cause too much discussion before it is decided.
Moreover, the Cui family has its own family background, and its in-law Dugu Xin is also powerful. Using his family to speak out is naturally meant to highlight this level of kinship and strengthen one's own competitiveness.
There are many considerations in this, and if it is explained too clearly, it will be a bit unsightly after all.
"I am truly honored that a distinguished person from a distinguished family has favored me. Regardless of whether I am bold and intend to reach a higher level, I dare not consider the long journey and hard work!"
Hearing that Cui Yansheng had some misunderstanding, Li Tai quickly explained, but then he didn't know how to politely refuse.
The Cui family has a special relationship with Dugu Xin. He declined the other family's remarks before but it is hard to mention it again. If he had no intention of discussing marriage because of his father, but turned around and happily married Dugu Xin's daughter, it would be a bit embarrassing no matter how you put it, and the future would not be good. Easy to get along with.
Hearing what Li Tai said, Cui Yansheng's expression improved a little, and he smiled again and said: "We have long-standing family friends, so there is no need to flatter us with empty words. Regardless of whether King Xiang intended it or not, since we have already traveled this far, we are here. We have already prepared wine and food, so how can we not come in?"
"That's annoying."
Having already reached this stage, Li Tairuo still refused to enter the village and sit down, which was a bit unkind, so he could only nod his head and said.
So the two of them continued to move forward. When they were still some distance away from the village gate, a domestic slave had already entered the village to report. Soon, a group of rich slaves in bright clothes walked out surrounded by two middle-aged men, one of whom was Dugu Xin. Cui Yanzhen, the father-in-law, and Cui Yanmu, the brothers who want to be his father-in-law.
The two brothers did not stop and wait in front of the village, but strode forward to greet him, which could be said to have given Li Tai a lot of face.
In his heart, Li Tai still felt that he was two generations lower than these two people. Although the situation was very strange at the moment, he did not dare to neglect it and bowed as a courtesy from a distance. The two approached each other, exchanged greetings and walked towards the manor. Let's go. Not to mention how the Cui brothers were feeling, Li Tai felt that the thick carpet was a bit prickly.
"Madam, here we come, Li Lang is coming in!"
In the attic of the manor, the maid went upstairs with beads of sweat on her forehead and shouted to her wife.
"I saw it! He is not Li Lang, call him Li Boshan!"
Lady Miaoyin stood alone in front of the window, wearing a slim and neat Hufu riding outfit. She held the handle of the knife with her bare hands and looked at Li Tai from a distance who was walking into the village with the Cui brothers. She gritted her silver teeth and made a muffled sound. said.
"Then, what should we do? Madam..."
The little maid saw that her wife was obviously in a bad mood, as if she was about to burst into flames, and she felt a little panicked for a moment.
"What can I do? Do you want me to go downstairs and beg him... He, he actually got a fan! What a good manners, a good husband... I am so happy that I am unusually happy!"
When Li Taixing got close, Lady Miaoyin watched carefully for a moment, and suddenly she became even angrier. The fingers holding the knife clenched tightly: "This thief, this... no matter what he thinks about things today, I will always do it with him." It’s over! Even if we can’t get along intimately, as a human being, at least you shouldn’t play with my thoughts like this!”
