In the Dugu family manor, most of the Cui clan members have left. Only brothers Cui Yanzhen and Cui Yanmu are still sitting in the hall, but there is some uneasiness on their faces.
Before, Dugu Xin and his men hurried into the village. Judging from his anxious expression, anyone could tell that Dugu Xinli valued Li Tai. However, their family borrowed Dugu Xin's garden property to marry and host Dugu Xin here.
The person you like is really embarrassing beyond words.
Although Li Tai had clearly refused, Dugu Xin always needed to explain himself, so although the two brothers didn't want to face it, they still bit the bullet and stayed.
They were not the only ones who had such feelings. After Dugu Xin led his men to bring his young lady back, she sent her to the backyard of the village to settle down. When he learned that the two Cui brothers were still waiting in the front hall, he couldn't help but feel sad.
I became restless again and wandered in the courtyard for a while before I walked towards the front hall.
The two people outside the hall heard footsteps outside the door, and quickly stood up and went out to greet Dugu Xin. When they saw Dugu Xin's figure appeared in front of the door, they clasped their fists and saluted: "Mr. Hanoi..."
Dugu Xin nodded, forced a smile out of the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and said to the two of them: "You are not a stranger when you enter this hall. You two don't have to be polite. Please take your seats."
The three of them sat down, but they didn't know what to say.
Although the two Cui brothers are nominally the elders of Dugu Xin's wife clan, there is a huge gap between them in terms of status and status, and they are even incomparable in age. Cui Yanzhen and his son-in-law are not much different in age, but Cui Yanmu is older than Dugu Xin.
He is nearly ten years younger, and he really can't act like an elder.
There was silence between each other, and the atmosphere became even more awkward. Dugu Xin's eyes fell on the tea still on the eucalyptus, and he coughed twice, and said without saying anything: "It's been a long time since we tasted southern food. Seeing each other in the hall makes people think about the past.
!”
The Cui brothers were born in the Cui family of Qinghe. Their ancestors were implicated in the history of Cui Hao and fled to the Southern Dynasties. They lived in the Southern Dynasties for many years before returning north and settling in Henan. Therefore, some southern customs remain in their food tastes.
His younger brother Cui Yansheng was a subordinate and colleague of Li Tai, so he knew a little about his food preferences. He knew that Li Tai did not like cheese syrup and liked tea, so his family specially prepared it. Now hearing what Dugu Xin said, the two brothers couldn't help but look at each other.
More and more embarrassed.
Cui Yanmuzhi stood up from the table, cupped his fists to Duguxin and said, "Mr. Hanoi, I am really sorry for disturbing the household by occupying the village property today..."
Although it was difficult to talk about it, the topic was always unavoidable. Dugu Xin quickly waved his hand and said: "Cui Hou said seriously, I should apologize to you two for today's matter. If we can inform you of the family affair plan in advance, we can
This will avoid such a misunderstanding."
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then sighed: "Last year, I did make a stipulation with Grand Master Heba that I would give up a daughter to increase his household wealth, and he would be a good son-in-law of mine to strengthen his family.
Sheng. Because I live near Zhenlong all year round, I have no time to take care of my family affairs.
After the daughter came out of the Grand Master's household, the Li family's son was also lucky to be favored by the Grand Master. Although the pair of teenagers had not yet been hired, they had already formed a love alliance under the care and care of the late Grand Master. Just because
Unfortunately, the Grand Master passed away, and under the constraints of etiquette, the matter was put on hold for the time being."
When the Cui brothers heard this, they were all surprised. No matter whether it was true or false, it was always a reasonable explanation. What's more, after hearing the two people's statements one after another, it was clear that Weng and his son-in-law were in harmony and they looked at each other.
, his family’s idea is indeed asking for trouble.
Although Dugu Xin gave the two of them an explanation, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. If the boy hadn't been so charming and provocative, he wouldn't have had to face such an embarrassing situation!
So after pondering for a while, he continued: "Although I congratulate Taishi Ba on his last wish, I don't know exactly what kind of talent Li Boshan is. Although my little girl is not a lady from a famous family, she is still a witness to the friendship between the two families.
The candidate. If the match is not a good match, I will also be responsible for the grand master's entrustment.
I didn't want to publicize this matter before, just to check whether this son is a good man. Speaking of this section, I would also like to thank you two. This incident gave me a glimpse of the true nature of the Li family's son. Although his business management is still
It doesn't mean that there is nothing to choose from. At least he is willing to regret rejecting a good match from a famous family because of this friendship, which shows that he is also a person who values love."
When the two Cui brothers heard this, their newly relieved mood suddenly turned unpleasant again. You just mean that our eyesight is shallower than yours, right?
But in your eyes, the candidate we enthusiastically solicited is just someone who is still to be examined and you are hesitant to accept him or not? We have worked hard here, but it turned out to be just a touchstone for you to test your future son-in-law?
If you want to say that, it's really not easy to continue the conversation.
But Dugu Xin seemed to be interested and continued to say with a smile: "Apart from this misunderstanding of friendship, I also want to hear why Cui Hou valued Li Boshan? I have not lived in the pass for a long time, although I know
This person has a certain reputation at that time, but not much is known about the specifics. Since Cui Hou is also interested in this kind of thing, he must be able to give me a brief explanation."
When Cui Yanmu heard this, his face couldn't help but look a little ugly. Dugu Xin felt happy when he saw the change in his expression. Sure enough, the best way to resolve inner embarrassment is to make others more embarrassed.
"Although Li Boshan has only been in the country for a short period of time, his reputation has grown day by day and his talents are impressive, which is also recognized by the masses. He is also from the famous Guandong clan and is often chosen for marriage. He is close to his own kind. It is inevitable that he will fall in the eyes of several families.
I will take a high look. If Mr. Hanoi wants to inquire deeply, I am not the only one who can answer."
Although Cui Yanmu was not as powerful as him, he was already a little disappointed and could not stand Dugu Xin's provocation, so he answered with profound meaning: "In addition, this young man returned to righteousness alone, and his talents and talents are very attractive, so he may secretly feel that it is easier to leave than to leave."
This is a manic thought. Several people visited me diligently. They sincerely love talents and cherish people. I am afraid that they also want to retain talents for the country and avoid being implicated."
When Dugu Xin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
When Cui Yanzhen heard this, she secretly felt something was wrong. She hurriedly picked up her brothers and said goodbye to Duguxin, not daring to stay any longer.
After the two left, Dugu Xin was still getting more and more angry. He raised his leg and kicked it on the bed in front of him. However, he suddenly remembered something and quickly called his trusted servants, ordering them to catch up with the Cui brothers and warn them.
They must not reveal what happened today.
He rushed to the river defense department to pay his respects to Daxingtai a few days ago. He also briefly tested Li Tai. It could be heard that Daxingtai had some thoughts and predictions about this boy's future arrangements.
Therefore, even though Dugu has already identified Li Tai in his confidence and has learned about this boy's thoughts through Cui family affairs, in order to avoid any complications, this matter needs to be tacitly understood and should not be leaked to the public too early.
Mrs. Cui was a bit out of character today, and she was in a rather uneasy mood. She had been secretly peeking outside the hall and saw her husband sitting alone in the hall with a frown on his face. He raised his hand to reject the servants and maids around him and entered the hall alone.
After entering the hall, she lowered her head and whispered: "I made my own decision today and risked pushing the good relationship at home to another family. I beg my husband to forgive me..."
After hearing this, Dugu Xin's brows became even more angry. He looked up at Ms. Cui and sneered, "I can't blame you alone. Didn't you hear what your uncle said? That boy is from a famous family.
He is the usual choice of a beloved man from various families. How can he be a good match for the children of my military family! Even if I force him to live in the house, I must be careful that he leaves easily and cannot be attached to him because of love!"
When Mrs. Cui heard this, the tears that had accumulated in her eyes immediately rolled down. She sobbed and trembled: "I know I made a mistake, but it is true that the fault does not lie in my body! Wherever I was born,
It is difficult for people to make decisions on their own, but the formation and maintenance of love are all a matter of day after tomorrow.
Although I have not been with my husband for a short time, now that I have entered this house, I am the mother of a family full of children. How can I not be qualified to hear about such a big plan as choosing a spouse for my children? If the elders of the old family can tolerate this concubine in her life, why bother?
Leaving home to seek food from your husband?
My husband is suspicious of me, because I am not thorough enough in my affairs, but if I still hold on to my family views and teach my children, I dare to say that I am afraid that Li's son is really not a good match for my daughter!"
"I know even if you don't tell me how I treat Li Boshan. Even the servants in the house know it. As long as you pay attention, you should know in your heart that I value this disciple. It's just that you have a prejudice and think that my women are not worthy of a match, so you never realized this!
"
When Dugu Xin heard this, he felt even more ashamed and annoyed. He said angrily, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Miaoyin standing in front of the hall. He waved his hands impatiently and said: "Who asked you to come here? Your indulgent behavior today, I
I haven’t been punished yet!”
Miaoyin heard her father's scolding again, but she lost her previous fear. She walked straight into the hall, approached her sobbing stepmother and whispered, "Mom, you don't need to blame yourself. I don't blame you for what happened today. Ah.
It is really unreasonable for me to blame you like this.
Could it be that when I married my mother before, I didn’t know your family background? These were not problems then, but why have they become a sin today? I am not ashamed of being born into this family, and now I no longer feel that I am not a good match.
Li Lang!
Now that I have support in my heart, I no longer feel scared even when I, Aye, am angry. I know that there is such a supporter who will share my anger. If Aye is no longer close to me, my mother will not dare to refute the words of my old cousin.
Claiming to be knowledgeable means that Aye has fallen into disgrace!"
When Mrs. Cui heard what the young lady said, she felt that although the logic was a bit crooked, it seemed to make sense, and she cried in silence.
But when Dugu Xin heard that the young lady had not yet gotten married and left the cabinet, he no longer had the authority as a father in his heart. He became even more angry and clapped his arms and shouted angrily: "Even if Li Boshan is here, he still doesn't dare to do this to me."
Dialogue, how dare you, a woman, to let evil run rampant in my house!"
"Li Lang only respects his elders. He even dares to fight a ferocious tiger. As long as Aye is willing to be reasonable, how can he be afraid?"
Seeing her father being so angry, Miaoyin was frightened for a moment. She hurriedly lowered her head, but couldn't help but whisper. This chapter has been completed!
