In the early morning, Li Tai took a shower, changed into home clothes, and then went to pay homage to his parents. Miaoyin also put down her son who had been beaten and cried by him and coaxed him to sleep, and went with her husband.
Ever since he got sick last year, Li Xiao's health has not been very good and he has not recovered as before. Therefore, he did not return to Guanzhong immediately. Instead, he waited until spring and the flowers bloomed and the season improved before traveling slowly.
return.
When he saw his son worshiping, Li Xiao's face showed a bright smile, and he pulled him to ask about the creation of the family temple.
Although he was indifferent to fame and fortune after experiencing disasters, building a family temple is of great significance to a family. Especially the Li family in Longxi was originally a member of the Xiliang royal family who had an ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, but their descendants did not have a family temple to worship their ancestors.
, making them and their descendants feel unworthy. Now that they finally have such rights again, even Li Xiao is not exempt from the vulgarity and is very happy about it.
Li Tai has been in this world for many years, but after all, he still cannot fully understand the extraordinary significance of the etiquette of worshiping ancestors to a wealthy family. Seeing that his father was so concerned about it, he smiled and recounted the relevant personnel arrangements.
When he heard that Wang Songnian was in charge of this matter, Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Wang Zunye was once a famous etiquette master in Luoxia. His son Songnian also gained a lot of family knowledge when they got along with each other and discussed things in Xiangyang. He is a worthy person."
A reliable person to entrust the matter to. But this is my family matter after all, and it cannot be entrusted to outsiders blindly. Now my family is not deserted in Kansai. All my children who have no important matters to attend to are asked to come to the house to take orders.
Until the temple is completed in one day, you are not allowed to go out and play!"
Seeing that his father wanted to supervise the work personally, Li Tai smiled and said: "There is no shortage of talents in the family. I don't need to do anything. I just need to stay in the house peacefully and receive sacrifices when the temple is completed."
That’s it.”
"My children and grandchildren have worked hard to fulfill their responsibilities for their ancestors. My son has made great achievements outside and brought this honor to our family. How can I do nothing else? I am not too old to move now, so of course I have to do my best for this family matter!"
After Li Xiao heard this, he shook his head and said that he was stubborn and wanted to contribute to the construction of this temple.
Li Tai didn't think that the elderly had to live in a comfortable life without doing anything. Seeing his father's enthusiastic and positive attitude, he stopped trying to persuade him. He just planned to let cousins like Li Qianzhi and Li Licheng share more of the burden later.
.
After talking about building the family temple, Li Tai talked about the arrangements for a group of relatives and friends, including his uncle Lu Shuhu. After these people came to Guanzhong, they had to start over in both their lives and their careers.
Of course, Li Tai will also give a certain amount of care, but he cannot always support without a bottom line. Especially for some people who lack ability and moral character, they cannot be praised based on their talents and virtues just based on a level of kinship.
in the matching position.
Li Tai doesn't want to trouble his parents to deal with these personnel issues, but he is also worried that some people will use this to annoy his parents. Talking about it now is also a psychological foreshadowing for his parents. Even if some relatives and friends live unsatisfactory lives, parents don't need to
Feel guilty and give more compensation.
After hearing this, Li Xiao nodded and said: "Both running a family and a country requires rules and standards. Boshan, you have always had measures. Don't say that it is still the Wei Dynasty, even in the future...
The emperor's court also needs to distinguish between public and private affairs. Anyone who makes too many demands and loses his duty is relying on favor and greed, trying to confuse the laws and regulations. If he is far away, he will feel resentful. If he is still treated intimately, he will only make people behave according to the rules.
Nothing left! Your uncle is quite methodical in dealing with favors. If there is something really difficult to resolve, you might as well ask him to come forward!"
Hearing his father's unceremonious advice that he could use his uncle Lu Shuhu as a tool when necessary, Li Tai couldn't help but feel happy. He nodded and said: "Ah Ye pointed it out, I took note of it. If it really makes sense."
I will definitely ask my uncle for advice on personnel matters where it is difficult to have both sides!"
After the discussion of these things was completed, Miaoyin, who had been sitting at the table, stood up with the help of her maid, went forward to bow to Weng Gu, and then said: "When the bride entered the house, although she did not get the approval of Weng Gu in person, she has been since
When the family reunited, Aunt Weng always treated the bride with kindness and kindness, as if she were close to her.
Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? Although the bride is not a very respectful and submissive woman, she is deeply grateful for the kindness she has received from her family every day, and she deeply wants to repay her kindness. Today, the husband is busy working outside, and he is in charge of the family. Although I am a concubine,
Yun is the head of the family, but he has his relatives and elders to guide him in important matters, and servants to do the ordinary things for him. His blessings are profound and inexhaustible.
The one who can repay the kindness of Weng Gu can only make this family prosperous and have children like a forest! The former received the wrong love from her husband, and the younger husband later became pregnant again. My husband worked hard outside, was born and died, and added more glory to my family.
However, after returning home, because of the foolishness of the bride, there was no one around to care for her and comfort her.
Aunt Weng is very loving and does not criticize her, but the bride is restless. Therefore, I am going to tell Aunt Weng today, hoping that I can take in another concubine for my husband, which will increase the popularity of my family and enable my husband to live in peace and serve me."
When Mrs. Miaoyin said this, Li Xiao and his wife, including Li Tai, were slightly startled. In fact, family members had talked about this kind of thing in the past, but they often stopped at the topic and did not discuss it formally. Today Miaoyin made such a formal announcement
Telling Aunt Weng doesn't seem like just talk.
In fact, from the perspective of Li Xiao and his wife, they certainly hope that their son will have a group of wives and concubines and many children. However, at this moment, Li Xiao used his eyes to stop the wife who was about to speak, and signaled the maid to help the bride up, and then said: "
The fact that the bride can have such an intention shows that I have found a good person in my family. Marrying a virtuous bride with an IKEA and a comfortable home will bring a lot of blessings to my family.
Boshan lived in Kansai in the old years, and was able to establish himself in this hometown after receiving a public relations license from his old Hanoi. Although he is no longer an old friend, his friendship is long-lasting. Although there has been no etiquette of son-in-law observing filial piety since ancient times, this feeling of being a son-in-law is also
It is unusual. So although this matter is debatable, it should not be done at this time. If there are any noises, the bride does not need to mind, there are parents in the house, who dares to ridicule my family affairs!"
After Miaoyin heard these words, tears welled up in her eyes, and she lowered her head and sobbed: "How can a bride be so considerate and cared for by Weng Gu? What more should I fear? What I say today comes from the bottom of my heart. It has already happened in the old days of Shannan."
I only dare to say this because my husband is busy with his affairs.
Ah Weng is grateful to my father for helping me in the past. However, when the family was in trouble, without my husband to protect and preside over it, who would be able to take charge of my father’s humble child? If we are close to each other, we will support each other in front of and behind us. If not, how can we achieve this?
A good match? The bride enjoys such favor from her family. If she still fails to show it, she will become depressed and ill. Please help me make it happen!"
Hearing Mrs. Miaoyin say this, Li Xiao also frowned. He turned his eyes and pointed at the slightly dull Li Tai next to him and said: "Idiot, you are a fool. If you marry a virtuous woman, why don't you help your wife!"
Li Tai wasn't pretending to be stupid on purpose, but all the men in the world, including him, were more or less at a loss when they heard that his wife offered to take care of concubines for him, and didn't know how to respond.
.
When he heard his father's reminder, he hurriedly stepped forward, supported his wife and whispered: "What Aye said is not unreasonable. Although I am not afraid of slander, my father-in-law has recently died, and my wife is pregnant."
We have been together for many years, so how can I be in such a hurry to find a new love at this time! My wife only needs to take care of her pregnancy and give me another child, and there is no need to worry too much about the rest."
Miaoyin ignored him, but wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Weng Gu and the two who had stopped talking, and said: "This matter is the bride's responsibility. Since Weng Gu has no objection, the bride will take care of it. My family has a strong tradition.
Virtue upholds righteousness, and family members live in harmony. This kind of atmosphere needs to be maintained for a long time. When accepting new people in the future, you must also check your character first, and you should not choose people based on their appearance. What does Weng Gu think of this plan of the bride?"
After Li Xiao and Mr. Lu heard this, they naturally nodded and praised the bride. They also expressed their trust in the bride and left all concubine matters to her.
After leaving his parents' room, Li Tai gradually realized that what this lady did today was not just to take a concubine for herself, but also to strengthen her voice as a housewife!
Miaoyin saw that her husband was silent and thoughtful, so she stepped forward and held his arm, smiling and said: "I am worried that I will use the pretext of attracting virtuous women to get rid of ugly women for my husband."
Let me be the only one in the house?"
After hearing this, Li Tai shook his head, glanced at his wife's breasts and sighed: "I had no intention of enjoying sex for my own entertainment, but only after this did I realize that my wife has really grown up and her mind is getting bigger and bigger!"
After hearing this, Miaoyin first puffed up her chest and smiled proudly, making the front of her clothes even tighter, and said in her mouth: "My husband was originally a handsome man in the world, but now he is even more powerful. If I were still alone in the house, it would be like fighting against thousands of troops.
To deal with the tiredness of being shut in, it is better to open the door, cleverly set up rules, and only those who please me can get in! My husband is as wise as the abyss, and my concubine is also immersed in it. It has been watered for a long time, so how can I not have one or two clever ideas in my mind...
"
At this point, she realized that there was something strange about her husband's eyes and the direction of his gaze. When she came to her senses, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and the hand that had been holding Li Tai's arm was pinched around his waist, shyly and angrily.
He said: "It's still clear day and the sky is clear. How could my husband be so frivolous and despicable..."
