It was another early morning. Li Tai still dressed up as yesterday. Without waiting for Dugu Xin to send his men to invite him, he had a simple breakfast and went out with his entourage, walking along the road yesterday to Dugu Xin's family manor in Dongpo.
People are really in high spirits during happy events. Today's sunrise is obviously brighter and warmer than yesterday. Although Duguxin has not yet made a clear statement, he did not make himself too embarrassed at the foot of the hillside yesterday afternoon. It can be seen that this old arrogant heart
He also tacitly accepted himself as his son-in-law.
So today we are really going to get buffs and discuss how to give the dowry. He and his wife are really in love, but Dugu Xin wants to be the father-in-law of his descendant of the Li family in Longxi. If he doesn’t let some blood go out,
It would be a bit inappropriate to make up for the gap in family status...
thump!
He was still thinking about how to get the dowry, but unexpectedly, the pavement under his feet suddenly became loose and collapsed, and he was caught off guard and fell into a dog's excrement. Fortunately, the pit was not too deep, and there was a thick layer of felt inside.
The fall didn't hurt my body too much, but my awkward posture was unavoidable.
The followers helped Li Tai out of the pit with all their hands. Li Tai lowered his head and patted the sand on his body, but a bitter smile appeared on his face. Thinking about it, he knew where the pit came from. He was lucky enough to avoid it yesterday.
Today I am extremely happy and sad.
With his current gray face, it was obviously not suitable for him to continue visiting. Li Tai left a few people behind to search the nearby mountain path to see if there were any similar arrangements. He hurried back to the village to wash himself and put on new clothes.
It was already mid-morning when we went out again.
In the manor, Dugu Xin walked back to the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, watching the sun rising higher and higher, his expression becoming more and more unhappy, and he said angrily: "This kid underestimates me! I should have been severely punished yesterday..."
Ms. Cui, who was standing in the corridor, no longer looked as sad and anxious as last night. Her eyebrows relaxed and she looked bright and charming. She looked at her husband wandering around in front of the hall with an angry voice, while the young lady kept looking around behind the hall. For a moment
They couldn't help but smile, and at the same time they couldn't help but sigh. Li Boshan hadn't officially become the son-in-law, but he had already brought a lot of changes to their family atmosphere.
"Inform my lord, Governor Li has arrived in front of the village to ask for an audience!"
Finally, a Zhuang Ding walked in and reported to Duguxin.
After hearing this, Dugu Xin just nodded and snorted. He lowered his eyes to look at the shadow cast by the sunlight on the ground. Without saying anything, he turned back to the hall and sat down.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Ding was at a loss. He stood frozen on the spot and didn't know what to do.
At this time, outside the door of the manor, the carpet laid yesterday had disappeared, and the warm hospitality of the people who came from the manor was naturally gone. Li Tai did not feel disappointed because of this, but he stood in front of the door for a long time and was not touched.
After entering, I gradually felt that something was wrong.
"Is Dugu Kaifu still in the village? Or has he returned to the city?"
He patiently asked the doorman again, but the doorman just laughed and didn't answer. He still called the door again, not daring to neglect Li Tai too seriously.
After a while, several strong men walked up and invited Li Tai into the village with enthusiasm. One of them even whispered: "My lord returned to the city yesterday and walked quickly into the countryside. He is tired from the journey. Please invite Li Tai."
The Governor is considerate."
After hearing this, Li Tai felt happy again. Why did Dugu Xin rush to the countryside in a hurry? It was naturally because of him. Although this guy was still putting on airs, his thoughts were clearly revealed in his actions.
Under the guidance of the strong man, Li Tai quickly arrived at the central hall of the manor. The hall was the same as yesterday, but his mood was completely different.
When he entered the hall, he glanced at Dugu Xin who was sitting there. Before Li Tai could salute, Dugu Xin had already frowned and said in a deep voice, "Have you prepared the tiger skins you asked for before?"
Li Tai was stunned again when he heard the words, and then he quickly handed over his hands and said: "Keep the instructions in mind from the beginning of the government. I originally wanted to trick my family into visiting the market, but I secretly felt that my intention was not sincere enough, so I planned to hunt for them myself. But there are no people in Neizhou.
It’s dense, with many cities and towns, and big things are rare in the wilderness. When I return to the garrison in Beizhou, I will definitely..."
"Nonsense! There is nothing in the country for you to do your best as a young man, but you have to go to the wilderness and dangerous places to show off your strength and fight for your life? It was just a fluke. The Taiwanese government awarded you a title, not to raise a hawk, dog, and slave hunter!
"
When Dugu Xin heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. Although what he said was caring and admonishing, his tone was full of displeasure.
Li Tai did not argue with him. After hearing the words, he quickly responded with a respectful attitude, which could be said to be very low-key.
Seeing his appearance, Dugu Xin's mood improved slightly. He pointed to the idle seat on the side and said, "Sit down. I also said that you have no time to visit today. I have already said goodbye to Daxingtai. If you come a little later, you won't be able to come."
Time is waiting for you."
Li Tai had just sat down. After hearing the words, he hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply: "It's really rude to be late for the elder's summons. Just because I was worried after saying goodbye yesterday, I couldn't sleep at night. When I woke up, the autumn day was getting higher, so I hurriedly
Come and pay your respects in a hurry."
After hearing this, Dugu Xin curled up his lips slightly, and then said with a smile: "What is it that makes you, a young and talented person praised highly by the crowd, lose your composure and lose sleep?"
Li Tai had long sensed that this guy was not in the right mood today. He didn't feel annoyed when he heard that he asked questions even though he knew the truth. He just sighed and said: "My feelings are in my heart, I am confused in my mind, and I am worried about my heart. How can I be calm? Although it's a big mistake,
You still need to be somewhat concealed in front of others, but in front of Kaifu, you naturally have to show your arms openly and don't dare to pretend! Yesterday, in this hall, my mood was ups and downs. I just felt that the world is tricky and difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I have a banquet in Kaifu and invite you again.
, please have mercy and seek comfort..."
"I heard that you said to others that you must share food and sacrifices to the grand master's family in this life? You are arrogant, the grand master's kindness to you was not satisfied during your lifetime, and you still want to disturb you after your death!"
When Dugu Xin heard this, his brows straightened, but his tone was still scolding.
After Li Tai heard this, he felt more and more that Mrs. Miaoyin was cute and cute. The previous idea of coveting me was really wrong. But before he got a solid promise, he still had to deal with it patiently. He could only say: "There is true goodness in the world, the masses."
Everyone is thirsty. I am honored to have a taste of this, and I can't help but be greedy for it. But if I can get what I want, I have no fear of ridicule!"
"If you know that everyone is thirsty, why do you think you can keep this taste alone?"
Dugu Xin looked at him with burning eyes and asked again.
"Do your best, live up to others, and feel no regret in your heart. As long as you can keep these two things, there is nothing in the world you can't do without!"
Li Tai simply stood up and bowed to Dugu Xin's table again. His application tone was extremely sincere: "The founding of the Mansion has been tempered by the world, and he has a clear sense of how to observe people and events. I know that there is no way to hide my thoughts. I can only rely on my full heart."
I hope I can be moved by my true feelings.
Although we, Lady Miaoyin, have not gone through trials of sorrow and joy, our hearts are inseparable and we are not afraid to walk in the world hand in hand for a long time. Our minds are fixed on each other, and we cannot change our minds despite the great disturbances. But now we are trapped only in the hope that we can get home.
Dear Huanyun!"
"Bold! Unbridled!"
Dugu Xin's expression gradually calmed down, but after hearing these words, he suddenly stood up and pointed at Li Tai with an angry look: "Are you laughing at my family's lack of ethics? How can anyone know how to be obedient?
Sons and daughters of right and wrong, how dare they hide their parents and spend their lives together in a private affair! If it is a girl from another family, you may be able to defraud her or take her by force, but you will not be allowed to act recklessly in my family!"
When Li Tai heard Dugu Xin's anger, he couldn't tell for a moment whether he was just pretending or if he was really angry. But when the words got to this point, he could only respond in a deep voice: "Although Bo Shan is not talented,
But it is definitely not Xiaoxiao. I am moved by love and regret, and I start by myself. My family is wandering in the rivers and lakes, and I don’t know where to ask for help. But once I am deeply in love, I am afraid that if I stick to it, I will lose a good relationship, so I have to pay my respects to Kaifu. I sincerely ask him to help Kaifu.
The decision is made for both families."
"When I resigned from Daxingtai, I had already discussed the marriage of my children with Daxingtai."
After listening to Li Tai's words, Dugu Xin sat back in the banquet. He saw a sudden look of surprise on Li Tai's face, but he laughed evilly, and then said: "The wedding date is tentatively scheduled for next winter, and there will be a happy event at my house."
Before this happens, I won’t have time to host a big celebration for your family, so why don’t you wait?”
"I can wait, I can wait!"
When Li Tai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was considered a bit harsh by Dugu Xin, so much so that he felt a little worried and almost had to build a bridge and run away.
Seeing Li Tai still bowing in front of the eucalyptus, Dugu Xin stood up, helped him up, and took him to the banquet himself. He looked at Li Tai deeply, and then suddenly sighed and said: "Boshan, don't blame me for so many things."
Pretend to lie, I really admire you for being such a young man, and I am willing to give you my daughter-in-law. But people's words are scary and make people feel uneasy. Your family background is noble, or you can be infatuated for a while, can you?
For a long time, our military activities have been mixed and harmonious, and we are still under my control. I will not use my power to bully you. I only hope that you can share my heart and cherish the things I love in your home for me!"
After struggling for a long time, he finally spoke human words. Li Tai was very relieved for a moment, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "Please don't worry, Kaifu, I will definitely remember what I told you today. Although my words are weak, I am fortunate to have been observing for many years.
Wang. I am young and frivolous, and I think very highly of myself, but if I are one with my wife, I will never be unkind or unkind to her!"
After hearing this, Dugu Xin laughed again: "I believe this, and I also appreciate your young and wild self-expectation, so I am happy to entrust my wife to you. From now on, not only my own expectations, but also my own responsibilities
Remember the expectations that people in this sect have for you. There is no permanent household in my sect. Sometimes the situation forces us to do something, and we are short of schedule. From now on, we no longer have to worry about being alone."
At this point, he smiled and said to Li Tai: "I know that you want to attract Yang Zhong to Neizhou, and I have already done this. But if you want to base your business planning on Beizhou, I
But I have a different opinion, do you want to hear it?"
Li Tai nodded quickly after hearing this. Although he said that Dugu believed in the authorities and lacked his own prophetic insight, he had been immersed in this world for a long time. Now that the family did not speak the same language, he also wanted to hear what Dugu believed about him.
