Although Yang Kuan left, the damaged atmosphere did not recover immediately. Yu Wentai was obviously depressed and in a bad mood.
Li Tai saw Yu Wentai sitting in the banquet and drinking several glasses of wine. He was obviously a little upset by the prince's behavior.
In the eyes of some people, regardless of the Eastern Wei or the Western Wei, the royal family was just a puppet at the mercy of powerful ministers. All power was concentrated in the overlord's house where military leaders gathered, and the emperor was of little significance.
But in fact, this is not the case. The existence of the two Wei emperors is still of great significance. Without the existence of the royal family, it would be difficult for the Bafu itself to immediately have the prestige and qualifications to rule.
Although it is said that Gao Huan was ugly enough to chase the emperor and Yu Wentai was evil enough to kill the king, the key point was that the emperor they were working with was too disturbing. Emperor Xiaowu was also a rare talent who could make two powerful officials in the hegemony feel sick to their stomachs.
.
Unless they had to, Gao Huan and Yuwentai actually didn't want to have a serious relationship with the emperor. Even if they didn't have political acumen, after all, they still had the experience of their common boss, Er Zhurong. It's just that the younger generation is becoming less and less martial.
Virtue, and their respective endings are also lamentable.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yuwenhu who was sitting down at the table, and then looked at Yuwentai who was looking sad. He thought to himself that if he could find an opportunity, he might as well advise Yuwentai to appoint Yuwenhu in the East Palace to see how to fight poison with poison.
What a wonderful reaction happened.
"Alas, I wanted to talk and drink with Renlue, but it is still unavoidable to be disturbed by worldly affairs. It seems that Boshan's words of not being able to bear his father to fall into the secular world are indeed not foolish and filial words. Renlue, you have a son to use, it is really enviable
Others, since you don’t regard being an official as a beauty, I won’t force you any more.”
After a while, Yu Wentai managed to squeeze out a smile again on his face, and said to Li Xiao: "But I won't disturb you with official duties. I still have a private matter to entrust you with. Although Ren Lue and I are new acquaintances, if we talk about
The friendship between us has a long-lasting relationship. In the old years when Boshan was isolated here, I felt pity for him. I introduced him to the mansion, educated and appointed him, and treated him as my nephew. If the Duke of Hanoi hadn't taken advantage of it, you should be the one to meet me today.
I……"
Speaking of this, Yu Wentai glanced at Li Tai with regret, probably because he was heartbroken by his eldest son-in-law, and he felt more and more the value of a good son-in-law.
He calmed down his thoughts for a moment, raised his finger and pointed at his son in the table and said to Li Xiao: "The brief description of the past events is not to ask for repayment, but I hope that Ren Lue can also feel the same and visit my house in his spare time.
The humble young people also serve as teachers for the disciples in the sect. We do not expect them to be able to achieve great success, as long as they know the books and understand the principles."
Having reached this point, it would be unwise for Li Xiaoruo to refuse again. Especially what Yu Wentai said is indeed reasonable and is not a boast. In the past few years since Li Tai entered the customs, his care for him has gone beyond the normal level.
From a relationship point of view, it is more like the cultivation of the younger generation by the elders.
"An Ding Gong's kindness comes first, and both the common people and the dogs are extremely grateful. Although a certain person is not proud of his academic skills, if you, the young masters, come to your home and ask questions, you will tell everything you know and discern the truth clearly!"
Li Xiao stood up again, bowed his head and said, "Li Tai couldn't sit still at the table, so he hurriedly avoided the table to pray."
After hearing this, Yu Wentai's face showed a look of relief. They drank a few more drinks with each other, and then arranged for Yu Wenyu, a professional errand boy, and his cousin Yu Wenhu to take the father and son home.
In addition to hosting a banquet in person, after the group left the hall, the servants of the mansion were ordered to prepare many gifts and load them on several carts to accompany them out of Tai Mansion.
Outside the gate of Tai Mansion, in addition to Li Tai and his family members, there was also a group of people, headed by Yu Wenhu's eldest son Yu Wen Xun.
The boy was not wearing warm clothes, and his face was turning blue from the cold as he stood outside the house. After seeing everyone leaving, he hurriedly came forward and said to his father: "Aye, I followed your orders and visited all kinds of daily necessities. The utensils are all rare treasures that are hard to find in the city, and they are all loaded into the back of the car..."
"What are you shouting for? You are preparing a few real objects, but there is so much nonsense! Are you praising the wonders and delicacies and asking for subsidies?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenhu's face suddenly darkened, and he swung his horsewhip to hit his son. Then he said in a vicious voice: "Can't you see the wise man in front of you? Why don't you come in and see me?"
As he spoke, he smiled at Li Tai and said: "Knowing that the household in Boshan is plentiful, I will not be short of daily necessities for my benefactor. But I have benefited from Boshan a lot, and I often lament that I don't know how to repay. Taking advantage of the occasion when Li Gong enters the country, I would like to prepare a few things to keep in the palace for later use. I beg Boshan, please don’t refuse!"
Without waiting for Li Tai's reply, Yu Wenhu took his son to Li Xiao and said, "Although this son is not well-bred and is not famous for his talents, he is obedient and obedient. He is also young and lively, and is familiar with the people in the city. Li Gongzha entered. In Huazhou, if there is something strange about the personnel, you might as well keep this boy as your servant for easy dispatch."
After hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel even more complicated about his son's personal interactions in Huazhou. Although Li Tai didn't understand Yu Wenhu's excessive solicitude, he certainly wouldn't leave his legitimate son to do a chore, so he quickly took off his fur coat and returned it. It was put on by Yu Wenxun who was clutching his shoulders, hanging his head and trembling.
"You and I are good friends who have deep friendship and complement each other. We are not evil elders who rely on our friendship to serve our sons and daughters. It must be hard work to go in and out of the village to collect these goods in the cold winter months. If you have time in the future, come to my house and give you a good horse. Ju Ceyu."
Li Tai patted Yu Wenxun on the shoulder and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Yu Wenxun hurriedly shook his head. In the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the stern look in his father's eyes. Then he quickly calmed down and said respectfully, "Thank you, Duke Xihe for the generous reward!"
When the group of people returned home from Taifu, it was already dark at night. A large tent was also set up in front of the house, and lights were decorated inside and outside. It looked very festive.
Li Xiaoxing walked to the door and couldn't help but frowned when he saw the splendid array and said in a deep voice: "It's too luxurious to live in such a home."
Li Chao, who came to the street to greet his father and brother, heard what Aye said, and quickly approached his brother and whispered: "Brother, my sister-in-law has been sending people to prepare gifts and ask for advice in order to welcome Aye back home. The flow of time between the two capitals is Hebei, and what is the etiquette of greetings and farewells in Guandong? Even Lu Pushe was invited to the house a few days ago to give advice..."
When Li Tai heard this, he thought of his wife's elaborate arrangements to satisfy the newly returned Ah Weng, so he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Immediately, he frowned and said to his father: "Aye has returned safely, and it is not an exaggeration to devote all my family to it! The purpose of displaying these materials and utensils is just to declare to Aye that I have the skills to manage the family and have enough supplies. It is a new year for the close relatives to gather together. As the time approaches, the joys will become even greater, and it is inevitable to have unrestrained feelings. Even if Aya wants to return to the family tradition, please let everyone express their feelings after the festival."
After hearing the words, Li Xiao also laughed. He had two drinks in a row and the night breeze was blowing. He felt a little happy now. After turning over and dismounting, he looked at the gorgeous door and said with a smile: "In the old days, I lived in a frugal country and it was hard to adapt to the prosperity. But, Now that wealth and honor are forcing me to do so, why can’t I accept my son’s gift?”
"Who is boasting and disturbing others here? It's really hateful!"
Earlier, there were many people outside the city and they had no time to reminisce about the past. After entering the city, Gao Zhongmi and others also came to Li Tai's house to wait. At this time, they heard Li Xiao's laughing words standing outside the door and couldn't help but scream in anger.
Li Xiao walked in with his two sons behind him. When he saw that there were all familiar people here, he seemed to feel relaxed, so he also pointed at Gao Zhongmi and laughed and cursed: "You were a bad friend in your second year of high school. You came into my home before."
They asked me for food but they robbed me of going out to my hometown. Today I entered my house. If I don’t drink heavily and punish myself, how can I wash away the old grudges?”
A group of people shouted and hugged each other, criticized each other, and comforted each other to celebrate the reunion after a long separation. Then they hugged each other and walked into the hall. It seemed that they would not be drunk tonight.
Li Tai didn't have as much emotion and energy as these old guys. He was very tired all the way back. He drank twice in a row inside and outside the city, and he was already quite drunk. What's more important was that he had been on a business trip for more than a year, so he was very tired.
It’s easy to get home, but instead of quickly going back to your room to sleep with your wife, you eat and drink with a group of people. Isn’t this sick?
Everyone in the hall was familiar and informal, and Li Tai didn't bother to entertain any more. He ordered that the food and drinks were enough, and then went to the back hall.
When he walked through the side hall and stepped through the door, he heard someone whispering to him from the side. He turned around and saw that it was the maid beside the lady. When he walked over, he was told that his living room had been moved to the east wing by the lady.
Inside, the main hall in the backyard was cleared for his father Li Xiao to live.
When Li Tai heard this, his heart felt warm. Dangjiu strode towards the side courtyard. Just as he stepped through the courtyard door, Dangjiu felt a fragrant wind blowing towards his face. He was wrapped in fox fur and looked at the fur.
Rongrong Miaoyin had just jumped up to the husband with a look of surprise on her face, and then turned away with a frown on her face: "My husband stinks of wine..."
Li Tai stepped forward and hugged the lady's slim waist under the fur coat, and hugged her in front of him. The lady struggled slightly and then buried her head in her husband's arms, muttering in a low voice: "I haven't paid my respects to Aweng yet...
It was the husband who was rude, not the bride!"
"Don't worry, Aye is an easy-going person. We will have a happy gathering with his close friends this night. It won't be too late to go and pay homage tomorrow morning."
Li Tai put down the lady, held the catkins tightly in his hands, and walked side by side to the Nuan Pavilion in the side courtyard. He continued to smile and said: "I met Aye again in Jingzhou before, and I felt very calm. First, Guanzhong's achievements were dazzling, and secondly,
You can be proud of the beautiful couple in the household. In public and in private, you will never disgrace your family name!"
"No, it's nothing to boast about. It's just a little more boastful than usual..."
After hearing this, the lady blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head and said a little coyly, but she still raised her pretty face to look at her husband secretly, and whispered with a hint of anxiety and expectation: "Is that what your husband really said? Aweng
, how should Aweng answer? If it’s a good comment, husband, please tell me quickly. If it’s a bad comment, I don’t really want to know..."
"Haha, after all, Aye has never met Madam, so she hears all the good and bad from me. When you pray tomorrow morning, Madam, remember to be more confident and prove that what I say is true."
Li Tai took the woman's hand and said confidently.
