The next wedding of Li Tai's second brother, Li Chao, was much simpler than the previous wedding of Yu Wenyu.
This was not because Li Tai was mean and stingy and did not want to organize a grand wedding for his brother, but because his parents did not want to make a big deal and repeatedly told them to just tell relatives and friends.
Although Li Chao now has an official title, he mainly owes it to his elder brother, but he still has not established his own career. Therefore, Li Tai's parents feel that there is no need to give this newly married man a job just for the sake of a lively scene.
The second son added too many human burdens.
After all, although these guests came to congratulate him for the sake of his father and brother, Li Chao himself was the real owner. If others congratulated him with gifts, he would naturally reciprocate in the future, and a lot of energy and money were spent on this.
In terms of human relationships, for young people who have just started a family, there will be certain obstacles in both life and career.
Although Li Chao's wedding was arranged very simply, Li Tai did not treat his direct brother lightly. He already owned a variety of industries in Guanzhong, and sharing a little bit of it could make his brothers live a prosperous life and have no worries about food and clothing.
Everything from residences in the two capitals to villas in the countryside was provided. Li Chao was also given a position as Sima of the Jingzhao Prefecture, allowing him to officially start his official career and receive experience in government affairs.
Nowadays, most wealthy families regard living together as a beauty. For example, Li Tai and his cousin Cui Qian and Cui Qian still live in a large house. The brothers are frank and selfless, and their moral harmony is highly praised by the world.
But Li Tai did not ask and arrange his family in this way. There are always differences in personality and habits between people, especially after they start a family, even the direct brothers each need a certain amount of private space. If they are forced to live together,
Although they appear to be harmonious on the surface, they will inevitably need to tolerate each other behind the scenes.
For the brothers who got married, Li Tai encouraged and helped them to start their own families, live separately on weekdays, discuss things with each other, and then gather together when the holidays come, so that they can be safe and happy.
Of course, Li Tai didn't really like the custom of big families gathering together, with hundreds or even thousands of clansmen living in one place. If there were many people, they would be bold, and they would inevitably become unruly and unruly.
Although he is now a rebellious person, people will always make progress one day. When his career reaches a higher level in the future, he can no longer continue to promote this trend. Joining a gang is not a hero, working alone is a husband!
When Li Chao first came to Kansai, Wang Yuanxin of Guangling vowed to make a good marriage for Li Tai and his brother. Now Li Chao is marrying the Yuan family's daughter, the daughter of Huai'an Wang Yuanyu.
The Yuan clan of this lineage is no stranger to Li Tai and his family. The sister of Wang Yuanyu of Huai'an married Cui Zhongwen of Cui family in Qinghe, and Cui Zhongwen was Li Tai's cousin. When the family was in Hebei, they lived in Cui Zhongwen
In the family of Cui, his elder brother, he took care of him a lot.
King Guangling provided Li Chao with several suitable-age girls from the Yuan family as candidates. After his family came to Guanzhong, his parents decided to marry the Yuanyu family because of their connection with the Cui family in Qinghe, and the marriage was finalized.
This is a family affair.
Although the brilliance of the Yuan family is getting dimmer nowadays, at a time when family status is still more respected, they are still the well-deserved No. 1 family with the surname Lu. This marriage is naturally a typical family marriage.
They were both very satisfied with each other, so the wedding went very smoothly.
However, an unexpected episode occurred during the wedding, that is, the Taifu guards were ordered by Daxingtai to escort Xiaoer Zhu to the door to congratulate her, and gave her valuable gifts.
Not to mention everyone in the Li family, even Li Tai himself was surprised by Xiao'er Zhu's coming to congratulate him. He was just perfunctory that day, but he didn't realize that Xiao'er Zhu was not joking and seemed to really intend to kill their family.
We move around as if we were a family of relatives.
But the style of this incident still seems a bit strange. In the Heyin Incident caused by Er Zhurong, the Li family in Longxi can be said to be one of the families that suffered the heaviest casualties.
Although this little Erzhu is the third generation of the Erzhu family and the daughter of Erzhu Zhao, she is always a member of the Erzhu family, so Li Tai's father and cousins subconsciously have some resistance to the arrival of little Erzhu, although they are not
As for retaliating against a woman named Xiaoerzhu because of this, she would never greet her with a smile.
Li Tai didn't feel much about this old family feud. Naturally, what was more meaningful to him was Xiaoer Zhu's current status as Yuwen Tai's concubine.
Regarding Xiaoer Zhu's show of goodwill, he even had the idea in his mind to understand the internal personnel information of the Daxingtai family. However, he could not ignore the feelings of his family, so he did not include Xiaoer at the wedding.
Erzhu welcomed him into the main hall of the inner house to entertain him, but asked his wife to entertain him briefly in another room.
The other guests were sitting and chatting in the hall, but she was the only one who was arranged in a side room. Faced with such obvious differential treatment, Xiaoerzhu did not become displeased on the spot.
As a woman, she has many shortcomings, but she is not narrow-minded and knows how to adjust her mentality. This is also a test brought about by the changes in her circumstances from a dignified queen to a concubine of a powerful minister.
After sitting down in the side hall, Mrs. Zhu Er looked at Mrs. Miaoyin with great interest, who came into the room to entertain her. Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she said with a smile: "I came here without telling you. I'm tired of you, Mrs. Miaoyin.
Please forgive me, madam."
Facing such a woman who was far more mature, charming, and experienced than herself, Miaoyin couldn't help but feel a little reserved. After hearing this, she quickly waved her hands and said: "Madam is a distinguished guest when she comes to visit, how can I be disgusted with seeing you?"
It's just that today there is a happy event in the house. The parents take care of the newlyweds and don't want to make big things happen. As a result, the hall is narrow and the furnishings are simple. I know that my relatives and friends can make do with it, but it is really difficult to entertain the distinguished guests. I have no choice but to entertain here. I know it is disrespectful.
, I sincerely ask Madam to tolerate solemn compensation in the future!"
Whenever Xiaoer Zhu said something he didn't mean, when he saw this young lady's serious excuses, she couldn't help but smile, and then said: "When people first come into the world, they are all strangers, and we only know each other."
It’s been a long time since I met you. My wife doesn’t treat me as a close friend. It’s just because we don’t see each other often.
But my fate with your family has long been destined. Going to Kansai is a new life for me, and this new life is all facilitated by your husband, General Li. I neglected to visit before, and I need to change my behavior from now on.
Xin, visit me often, and please don’t get tired of me coming here to bother you.”
When Miaoyin heard these words, she felt unhappy in her heart. Although she was not a very scheming person, she could tell by intuition that there was something very different in Zhu's words. After pondering for a while, she continued
Said: "Although I am a foolish woman in the household, I know that my husband is diligent in his work, so there are many people who return home, and there are also those who are as grateful as my wife. But in fact, my husband is just a loyal person, and the one who can give people a new life is Yu Wentai.
Master, Madam, is willing to condescend to visit me. Of course I will welcome you, but I will never dare to be arrogant to this distinguished guest because of my husband's duties."
When Xiaoerzhu heard Madam Miaoyin's reply, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a while, she said with emotion: "General Li's style is the most beautiful in the world. Before visiting, I was quite impressed.
I’m curious about which beautiful lady can be worthy of such a sweetheart? Now that I’m talking to the lady, I realize that the perfect match is made by nature and no one can compete with me. The lady’s nature and beauty are really worthy of such a good match that is envied by everyone.”
When Miaoyin heard this, she was very proud in her heart. Although she didn't say it, her attitude towards Xiaoerzhu was somewhat kind.
Xiaoerzhu stayed here for half an hour, chatting with Miaoyin for a long time, and then got up to say goodbye and left. Miaoyin returned after sending the gift out, and helped her aunt entertain the other guests and women.
As for Li Tai, of course he was also greeting relatives, friends and guests in the front hall. The husband and wife were busy until late at night, and then they came to the side room of the new house to rest for a while.
Li Tai smelled of alcohol. After he sat down, the waiter offered him a drink to sober up. Fang took a few sips, and the fragrant wind blew up from behind. Miaoyin rushed forward and hooked her husband's shoulders with her hands, and her delicate body was also hung on the husband's shoulders.
The gentle fragrance on her back showed a hint of exhaustion, and then she said in a low voice: "Mrs. Narzhu is not a good person. She keeps saying that her husband will give her a new life, but she is just pretending to be weak and flattering him, which makes people feel high.
Help her! But my husband is a majestic man and has a great reputation in the world, so how could he be bewitched by her! Do you think what I said is right?"
Li Tai couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his wife was so shrewd, so he also laughed and said: "When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. If she really meant what she said, why didn't she visit me attentively before?"
All the pretense I am doing now is just because I am greedy for my new power. My wife is very insightful, and she is really my good wife!"
After hearing this, Miaoyin also beamed with joy, and immediately said, "Then if she comes to visit me again in the future, I won't be as polite to her as before!"
"That's not necessary. There aren't many chances of meeting each other."
After hearing the words, Li Tai shook his head, turned around and pulled the lady to him, and then said: "When I return to town the next day, I plan to take my wife with me. Would you like to see the customs of Jingxiang?"
"Really? Really! If you are willing, how can you not be willing?"
When the young lady heard this, her eyes widened immediately. After confirming again in disbelief, she immediately couldn't help but cheered and danced, not knowing how to express her excitement, and ran away from the room.
After two laps, he got back into Li Tai's arms, held his husband's cheek and chewed a few mouthfuls.
After her excitement calmed down a little, she felt shy again. She shrank into Li Tai's arms and whispered softly: "The smell of alcohol on my husband's body has made me drunk..." Xuanji closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
stand up.
Li Tai lowered his eyes to look at the pretty and blushing face in his arms, stretched out his fingers to touch the long and gently trembling eyelashes, and when the little lady was tickled and smiled, he lowered his head and kissed her lips and teeth.
