The performance lasted from early morning to evening. When Li Tai left the hall and returned to his home, he realized that it was time to get off work again.
This time, no one dared to rush back home. When they saw Li Tai returning to the office, Pei Han, Xue Shen and others rushed to greet him. They looked at Li Tai eagerly and asked, "Do you have any other instructions from Daxingtai?"
Li Tai shook his head first, and then said apologetically: "I took advantage of my laziness last night, so I'm sorry if I can help you."
When the two of them heard this, they waved their hands and laughed and said it was a trivial matter. Xue Shen took out a document and handed it over and said: "This is the content of tonight's lecture. Do you want Li Lang to take a look at it first? Daxingtai all praises you.
The scholarship is exquisite, but it would be a pity if it could not be taught in lectures."
Seeing that Xue Shen had prepared lessons for him, Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After laughing twice, he said: "Just now when I was playing in class, I asked Daxingtai to stay in the Yamen overnight due to a family accident, so I signed up.
I still have the audacity to ask two people to take charge of my duties. In the next few days, I will also have inconveniences or need to be honest. I apologize."
Just now in the hall, while Yuwentai's enthusiasm for him had not subsided, Li Tai said that he had to go home to take care of He Basheng, so it was not convenient for him to work the night shift. By the way, he took a few days off. Yuwentai
I just smiled at this.
When Pei Xue and Pei Xue heard this, they had mixed feelings for a moment. We all work together at the office, why are you so awesome?
No one else has shown hard work and hopes to be appreciated by Daxingtai, but you are the only one who has many things to do. You don’t have to work the night shift and you still ask for leave. But Daxingtai is so partial to you. You came to the class on the first day of work and saw no one.
I wasn’t upset yet, so I invited him to talk for the whole day the next day!
After a while, another visitor from Xingtai arrived, not only bringing the gift of a good horse from Hexi, but also the old belongings of Daxingtai saddle and bridle.
When Pei Han, Xue Shen and others saw this scene, their moods were even more shaken, and even their jealousy disappeared for a while. He is the boss of Bafu, and we are all the sixth child!
In the envious eyes of everyone, Li Tai waved goodbye to them, led the horse and left the official office. Why didn't he want to join the crowd? The key to his style and strength was that he wouldn't allow it!
After leaving Taifu and gathering with his entourage, Li Tai rode out of the city.
I have to say that this horse from Hexi feels really good to drive. The horse has a tall frame and strong explosive power. It is fast and powerful whether it is a short sprint or a long-distance gallop.
Li Taice rode on the horse, and he felt more and more the love of famous horses among people at that time. The passion and pleasure brought by this speed were really unparalleled. He just felt that even if he returned to Taifu to kill Yu Wentai, he could run away quickly.
Leave Tongguan.
Frankly speaking, the reward Yuwentai gave him this time was really not bad.
Originally, most of the war horses in Guanxi came from Lingzhou, Xiazhou and other Hetao pastoral areas. However, with the inward migration of people and horses from various states and the gradual enmity with Rouran, the Western Wei Dynasty's control over the Hetao pastoral areas decreased.
Xiazhou was originally the starting point of Yuwentai's achievements, but when Rouran invaded the border in the sixth year of Datong, Yuwentai summoned all the troops to prepare for the enemy in Shayuan. The Hetao area could no longer organize effective defenses, so Rouran invaded Xiazhou and returned.
In addition, in recent years, Jihu in the northern border has been causing frequent rebellions, which has deeply disturbed Lingzhou and Xiazhou. The only area that the Western Wei Dynasty can effectively control is Yuanzhou.
This caused a great impact on the horse administration of the Western Wei government. There was not enough war horses in the army, and there was an even greater shortage of horses for civilian use.
Therefore, it has become a top priority for the Western Wei government to open up new sources of high-quality horses. Hexi horses are famous all over the world. They are a war horse type that is of higher quality and has a higher upper limit than Hetao horses.
However, Dugu Xin had not been in charge of Longyou for a long time, and the Hexi Corridor had not yet been completely opened up. Rebellions also occurred from time to time within the government. The supply of high-quality horses was still extremely limited, and the army supply was not enough, and the private sector was even more limited.
But the horse that can be sent to Daxingtai is naturally selected from the best. Li Tairuo got this good horse early, and when Zhao Guibu ambushed him, even if he couldn't beat them, he could kill them by walking!
Not to mention the extremely symbolic saddle and bridle. If someone really wanted to chop and shoot me, would it be my butt you shot? It’s Daxantai’s face!
Li Tai galloped all the way and returned to Shangyuan happily. Before entering the manor, he found a group of dozens of knights in military robes standing in front of the manor.
He also learned a lesson from adversity and did not rush forward rashly. Instead, he went straight to the camp of the rural regiment not far from Pinan, and first asked about the origin of that group of soldiers.
"Just now, Chief Zhusheng came to complain, saying that these strong soldiers did not have any ill intentions. They seemed to be visitors from Longbian, and they also brought many gifts to the village."
Liu Sanji, who was guarding the camp, hurriedly came out to report the report. When he saw the mighty horse under Li Tai's lap, he immediately said with a look of joy and envy: "Master Lang, this horse is really powerful, the blades are tall and straight, and the hair is as smooth as satin."
ah!"
It is usually inevitable for people to become addicted to food. This guy still has difficulty riding horses, but his knowledge of horses has increased sharply. He walked around this good horse and looked at it, and he was amazed.
"It's better to drive yourself than to envy someone, and now I have to look up to him. In the coming year, your family will grow stronger, and all of you who are diligent and meritorious will be given such a good horse!"
Li Tai is not that generous yet, so he can only give verbal encouragement.
Liu Sanzhen became an officer, and his emotional intelligence soared. After hearing this, he laughed and said: "Master Lang is blessed by God. He will not be injured when he enters the battle. I don't expect to ride a good horse until this famous horse gets old and weak."
When the time comes, please ask Master Lang to give the slave a good breeding house so that he can show off his kindness to the masses!"
Li Tai laughed after hearing this: "Then it's a deal!"
Knowing that this group of knights came from Longyou, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief and was not without expectations. Could it be that Dugu Xin had already arrived at the village?
The reason why he took a few days off was to arrange time to receive Dugu Xin in person. Regardless of the depth of the relationship between them, there would always be some fantasies in his heart.
When they rode back to the village, Li Zhusheng was already waiting here. After a brief report before entering, Li Tai realized that the person who came was not Dugu Xin, but his subordinate officer, Sima Gaobin of Qinzhou.
Although Li Tai was slightly disappointed, he still cheered up and arranged for the entourage to go to the village to rest and have a meal, and then he went straight to the villa in the valley.
Entering the hall of the villa, Li Tai saw a middle-aged man in his early forties sitting at the guest table. He must have been Gao Jiong's father.
"This young man is Li Boshan, the owner of this village. He recently joined the Taifu to serve. He gets up early in the morning to work and comes back late to serve. This is also a hard time."
He Basheng was lying on the couch, still playing with the wooden chess piece Li Tai had made for several phoenixes to play with. Huarong Dao introduced Li Tai to Gao Bin when he saw him entering, and then said to Li Tai: "This is Dugu Kaifu
I am an official, Gao Sima of Qinzhou, and I want to discuss the relationship with your family, Gao Taiwei."
After Gao Bin heard this, he quickly stood up and bowed to Li Tai: "I have heard about Li Langxian for a long time, and when I saw him today, it was really clear to everyone. The former is busy with common affairs, and he will definitely come to pay homage to the Taiwei one day.
male!"
The Gao family in Bohai is quite famous, but the genealogy is very complicated, and the direct descendants are confused. Li Tai is not sure whether Gao Bin and Gao Zhongmi are actually related, but with such a topic, it is always
It can bring you a little closer.
He hurriedly invited the distinguished guests to return to the table, and after a brief conversation, he learned that Dugu Xin had also returned to Guanzhong, but was received by the emperor Yuan Baoju when he was passing through Chang'an, so he sent the distinguished guests to greet him first and inform him of Basheng.
Li Tai was also very interested in Gao Bin, mainly because of his son Gao Jiong, but when they first met, it was always a bit abrupt to directly ask about family affairs.
Until he saw the educational toy in He Basheng's hand, Li Tai changed his mind and asked He Basheng: "How did Bodhidharma boy finish his homework today? Did uncle ask?"
He Basheng didn't take this seriously and replied casually: "He was studying hard today and he didn't forget to go to the slope to pick some fresh fruits for me. Seeing that he was a little tired, I let him sleep first."
After Li Tai heard this, he said sternly: "Excellent in work is hard work but idle in play. Since he has entrusted him to me, he needs to be carefully educated and cultivated. Five points of character and seven points of talent are considered untutored. He must succeed."
Ten points is enough to live up to your trust!”
While he was talking, he raised his hand and asked someone to drag Shuofeng up, who had already undressed and fell asleep, and asked a few questions about the meaning of scriptures and mathematics with a straight face. This kid, Shuofeng, had been asking a lot of questions recently, but he was able to answer them fluently.
"This young man is the heir of Duke Changle? How old is he? He is already so knowledgeable in his studies!"
When Gao Bin saw this scene in the banquet, he finally couldn't hold himself back and asked.
After hearing this, He Basheng also became energetic. He pointed at the two young men and said with a smile: "Dharma has been in the village for a few months. His beginner's studies can't be said to be profound, but they are not primitive. Because the masters he met are all good in the classics, meanings, mathematics and theory.
He has a remarkable academic background, and even the stupid elders cannot solve the academic questions he asked, but he can answer them clearly..."
At most, the elderly have the bad habit of showing off their younger generation's intelligence. Hearing He Basheng's boast, Li Tai also immediately became happy, but he still said with a straight face to Shuofeng, whose little face was filled with pride and joy: "There is no limit to the sea of learning.
Only by working hard and guarding against arrogance and impetuosity can we forge ahead without slacking off! Although you answered the third question correctly, your tone was hesitant and you were not sure. You need to continue to study the relevant lessons!"
"I understand, brother, I will do the study questions again tomorrow."
After hearing this, Shuofeng's little face suddenly fell, he lowered his head and whispered. After Li Tai saw this, he nodded with satisfaction, and then the staff gave him some delicious snacks as a reward.
He showed off his strict teacher style in front of Gao Bin, and when he saw Gao Bin showing interest in this, he felt happy again: Send your son here, and I will teach him calculus directly... I
No, but it is still possible to teach a few Mathematical Olympiad questions.
Because Dugu Xin would be visiting tomorrow, Gao Bin stayed directly in the manor that night.
Although Li Tai had met Dugu Xin before, he had no formal contact and conversation. In order to ensure a good state, he went back to his room to rest early after dinner.
Early the next morning, he got up and did some morning exercises, then went home to take a bath, put on simple but not simple clothes, and waited for Dugu Xin's arrival.
