When do people start to grow up? There are many standards. Li Tai feels that when faced with unsatisfactory things in life, people do not just complain, be sad, and face changes in things emotionally, but proactively
To seek and explore aspects that are beneficial to oneself, then one can be said to have grown up or matured.
Before, his uncle Lu Shuhu had a serious conversation with him about family matters. Li Tai had a more profound association with him, and became more and more aware that he now embodies so many people's well-being, future, and desires.
This is not the case for him when it comes to personal issues. He must have a more comprehensive consideration of people and things.
This change will not only have a great impact on him, but also on the people close to him, especially his wife, who has the closest relationship with him.
In the past few days, his wife has experienced important life events such as giving birth to a son and losing her father. She has also had to adapt to the huge changes in her identity and family status. Her own emotions have been in a huge gap between joy and sorrow, but she can still cope with this complicated and intense situation.
Li Tai is deeply gratified to find a way of dealing with himself that suits and benefits him amidst the changes in human relationships.
Nowadays, he seems to be the leader of the hegemony with unlimited fame, but he also needs to work hard to coordinate and integrate the situation of all internal parties. The so-called parties are not necessarily tit-for-tat and full of conflicts of interest, but are background, cultural habits, etc.
Different in every aspect.
In the past, Li Tai was a participant, traveling around all parties to gain the maximum human power. Now, as the leader of the Bafu, he needs to think more comprehensively, minimize internal friction and friction, and coordinate all parties.
ideas and demands, so that the masses can generally work towards a common goal.
At the end of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the national laws were already in ruins, and human relationships also played a huge role in political activities. Therefore, being his wife also required a lot of wisdom in life, because she was required to deal with not only internal affairs of the family.
, as well as the network of human relations and social relationships extending outward from the family.
Through the conversation between his father and his wife just now, including the previous reminder from his uncle Lu Shuhu, it was not difficult for Li Tai to guess that there must have been similar rumors that slandered his wife.
The reason is also very simple. Many people from the Kanto period came to Kanto because of their relatives and friends. For them, the fastest and most effective way to integrate into the situation in Guanzhong was through marriage. The relatives of the five surname families are already intricate.
Since there is such a demand, it will naturally be of great benefit to them to stir up such public opinion.
Faced with such a situation, it would be very inappropriate for Li Tai to impose severe sanctions with criminal orders or to comply with their wishes and take the initiative to accept a woman from a family with the fifth surname.
The former will undoubtedly hurt people's feelings. After all, it is a fact that these people abandoned their family business in Kanto and came to Kansai to join themselves. The latter will directly introduce conflicts and disputes into their own families. From then on, both the family and the heirs will probably be troubled.
.
Miaoyin is in such a situation, relying on her husband's favor and the friendship between her husband and wife for many years, ignoring the complicated human relationships in the outside world, and living a leisurely life in seclusion is certainly a way of life.
But there is no doubt that she is not as proactive and wise as she is now. First, she expresses her willingness to take concubines for her husband, and secondly, she confirms and demonstrates her right to speak as a powerful woman. In this way, those who intend to obtain more political resources through marriage relationships
Naturally, the person has no reason to attack her anymore, but needs to win her favor.
Li Tai is not disgusted with his wife's growth. On the contrary, he is very happy to see it. The relationship between husband and wife is never a game, but an ethical relationship that is closer than blood. Of course, whether any relationship is close or not depends on the specific relationship.
How do individuals operate? When this relationship is based on the pursuit of sex and material resources, there is no ethics at all, just business ethics.
He did not eagerly ask his wife what kind of concubine she wanted to take in for him, but he talked about taking advantage of today's free time to arrange a family banquet at home to entertain all the relatives and friends who had defected from Kanto.
"Aweng has already planned this matter, but since my husband is traveling far away, I am worried that it will be inappropriate."
After hearing her husband talk about this matter, Miaoyin also returned to the room and took out a list recording the family status of relatives and friends.
Similar information was previously recorded by the officials responsible for settling these families, but the content was not as detailed as Miaoyin's. The book not only recorded in detail the population and age of each family, but also the kinship and origins between each other.
There are detailed notes, but even Li Tai is not very clear about these contents.
So Li Tai wrote the invitations in the room according to the order of the list. Of course, the writing and ink work can be handed over to the staff, but it is not as sincere as writing it himself. Sometimes the warmth of this kind of human details even exceeds
The gift of large sums of money and goods.
Although Miaoyin's mentality has become more mature with her experience, she still can't change the habit she has developed over the years of being tired of being around her husband whenever he is free. Now that she is pregnant, her body is not as slim and graceful as when she was a girl, so she
Leaning next to the book desk, she held the dark ink block with her white fingers and rubbed the ink for her husband.
At this time, the spring was bright outside the courtyard, and the bright sunshine shone through the branches and buds of the locust willow and fell on the brick steps in front of the house, like broken jade and gold chips, beating lively.
The sunlight hits the screen window, is dizzy by the tulle, and penetrates into the room to become a ball of soft light. The light falls on the person like a flowing warm current. The young woman is sitting sideways on the seat, her brocade skirt spread between her legs,
Another half of it hangs on the side of the mat, and the soft light dances here again, reflecting and interweaving into a gorgeous brilliance, just like the same beautiful youth.
However, the woman was not attracted by the brilliance of the brocade. Her gaze was like the most accurate paintbrush, carefully tracing over every line of the man's posture, appearance and expression, and tracing it over and over again, accurately, in her heart.
The girl's youthfulness has long since faded away, replaced by a more touching plumpness and softness. As her eyes continue to trace, the corners of her lips are also raising smiles from time to time, and what comes out of the pear vortex is that the heart can no longer contain it, and it is like a crowd.
The sweet affection that grows.
As Li Tai was turning his pen, he glanced sideways at the lady leaning against the desk with her head tilted up, her face lazily intoxicated. He felt playful, raised his left hand and brushed the lady's red lips with the pad of his thumb, but he didn't expect it.
The lady's warm tongue poked out and dexterously chased the fingertips. The waves in her eyes made people drown in it unconsciously. It wasn't until the slight pain from the fingertips being bitten by the shell teeth that Li Tai woke up.
"It's already past noon, and there are still many invitations to write!"
Li Tai turned his eyes and realized that the sun was shining into the room from the west side. He raised his fingers and tapped his wife's smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "My dear, it disturbs people's will and wastes my time!"
When the lady was criticized, she wrinkled her nose and snorted, then poured a few drops of water into the inkstone and continued to grind the dried ink.
After that, Li Tai concentrated on writing, and his writing efficiency was greatly improved. The invitations he wrote were sent to various homes by his family.
In fact, there is no need for invitations. Many relatives and friends from Kanto came to the school early after hearing that Li Tai was at home today. They almost missed the invitation for some reason. But when the invitation was delivered to their hands, the smiles on their faces couldn't help but become even happier.
In addition to these relatives and friends from Guandong, Li Tai thought for a while and sent someone to invite several Feng to attend the family banquet. He said with a smile to his wife: "Years ago when I was in Shannan, I asked my wife to visit matchmakers for Bodhidharma.
, how is the progress now?"
When he was in Xiangyang before, Li Tai wanted to introduce Shuofeng to his cousin Li Gang's cousin, but he still felt inconvenient to speak, so he entrusted the matter to his wife.
"How dare I forget what my husband told me. I have visited the house before, and my cousin's family is generally satisfied with it. After all, my husband has taken care of Bodhidharma since he was a child. For this reason, of course I feel relieved.
.”
When Miaoyin heard her husband mentioning old things again, she smiled and replied.
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded and said: "In that case, let's get things settled as soon as possible. Not to mention my uncle's family, although Bodhidharma does not have his father as the head of the household, I still have my care, so he will definitely not be in trouble with personnel matters."
The reason why he wanted to finalize this matter at this family banquet was not only to take care of his little brother Shuofeng, but also to let these relatives and friends from Kanto recognize the reality and put away the idea of being self-conscious about their family background.
, If you want to develop better in today's world, you must recognize the trend of the times and stop adhering to the outdated concepts of the past.
Although he has a relatively negative view of Zhenbing as a whole, he has to admit that the reason why Zhenbing can become so big is also because these noble families also gave them opportunities that were useless. Nowadays, Zhenbing has become a fashionable thing.
As a powerful political force in the bureau, if it remains in a state of resistance and unwillingness to cooperate, it will only intensify collisions and frictions with each other.
Even if these people come to Kansai, it is impossible for Li Tai to tilt all political resources to them and create a situation similar to Taihe's restructuring in the Northern Wei Dynasty. What he can provide these people is a more equal, softer and more responsible society.
The complementation and integration of dignity, rather than being choked to the ground and beaten so hard that the eyes were smashed out.
Miaoyin heard her husband mention this at this moment, and she probably understood what Li Tai was thinking. After thinking for a while, she also said: "I also have a guest to add to my family, Mrs. Yao, who helps me a lot at home.
Madam Yao has worked tirelessly, and has saved Ah Weng, and also helped me raise the children. She should not be treated like an outsider due to emotion and reason. What do you think, husband?"
When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but think of the alluring spring scenery last night. He blinked away the distracting thoughts, and then nodded and said: "I will follow the lady's plan."
