Chapter 16 Dugu gets his wish
So many guests suddenly poured out of the corridor, and it was suddenly overcrowded.
Li Tai stood in the crowd, his eyes full of shaking heads, and he couldn't see what was happening outside the crowd.
"Dugu Kaifu has already arrived at the palace, are you leaving? Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't stop me from waiting for the battle from Kaifu!"
A few barbarian young men were addicted to the game. When they realized it, they had fallen behind the crowd, so they shouted and pushed the crowd in the hall. The force coming from behind made Li Tai unsteady. He was squeezed out of the crowd and had to rush a few steps before he regained his balance.
Just as he was about to turn around to scold him, he saw that all the guests were already bowing and shouting in one direction: "Dugu opens the mansion!"
"I will greet the distinguished guests on behalf of the master, so you don't have to be polite!"
A magnetic baritone voice sounded. Li Tai turned around and saw a graceful middle-aged man passing by the corridor.
This middle-aged man is wearing a long robe with a round collar and no hips, a white background with a brocade color, a leather belt wrapped around his waist, embedded with gold and jade, and on his head is a black gauze cage crown made of gold wire. This outfit looks amazing. It's really noble and exaggerated, but when combined, it reveals a distinct and eye-catching temperament.
Of course, the quality of your temperament still depends on the appearance of the person wearing it.
Dugu Xin is in his early forties. His body is not as tall as Shu Hui's. He is at least 1.8 meters tall. He is not as broad and round as ordinary generals. He is well-maintained. He has straight eyebrows and three-dimensional facial features. Although he lacks the sharpness of a young man, he is still He has the stability and determination of a wealthy middle-aged man, with a handsome and solemn face, black beard and beautiful hair, and a pair of eyes that are bright and lively, as if there is light, and they become the focus whether he walks or stands.
What an old slut!
Li Tai looked briefly and then looked away, commenting silently in his mind. Soon he noticed that Dugu Xin's eyes were looking at him standing in front of the crowd with interest, and he quickly raised his arms in salute.
Duguxin stood outside the corridor and paused for a few breaths, his eyes mostly lingering on Li Tai. When he saw him saluting, he nodded slightly in greeting, then waved to everyone in front of the hall and continued walking to the vestibule.
At this time, a middle-aged scribe with a long beard and a beautiful beard was standing in front of the desk recording the gift list in the vestibule. Before the man leaned over, he raised his right hand as if to make an outline, and did not move for a long time. There were many guests waiting in line behind him, but no one dared to speak out to urge him.
"The master is being drunk by a nasty guest in the hall, so he asked me to come and attract the distinguished guests. Could it be that because of this, Su Shangshu refused to enter the hall?"
Dugu Xinxing came here, pointed at the middle-aged scribe and said with a smile.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man only raised his head and nodded briefly to Dugu Xin, then lowered his head again, looked at a pen clerk opposite the desk and said, "Have you finished copying?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the middle-aged man raised his hand to lift up a gift list filled with words, carefully rolled it up and put it away. Then he walked towards Dugu Xin, who was hanging aside, looking slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Master. There are etiquette for treating guests, and guests have their own faults. How dare you explain it to the government. "
Duguxin glanced at the gift slip that the middle-aged man handed to the servant beside him, and then asked with a smile: "Is it possible that Huibao exceeded the limit in accepting the gift, so he went to the trouble of Su Shangshu to ask for the certificate in person? He is in the hall, and we will go to question him!"
The middle-aged man's name was Su Chuo, and he was appointed as the Minister of Daxingtai. He was the most trusted political minister of Daxingtai Yuwentai. He was of high authority, so Duguxin came to greet him in person.
"Could it be that in the eyes of Kaifu, Su turned out to be a bad guest? So I stopped here, just because I saw a guest's writing style was fresh and interesting, so I forgot to admire it. Go quickly, go quickly, don't bother the host to wait for a long time!"
After hearing this, Su Chuo explained with a smile, and then walked to the central hall with Dugu Xin.
Seeing the two civil and military officials leaving, everyone returned to sit in the hall again. Li Tai also returned with the crowd, feeling quite excited. He did not expect to see two famous officials of the Western Wei Dynasty at the same time in such a short period of time.
Su Chuo can be said to be the most important minister of state in the Western Wei Dynasty. He made outstanding contributions to the system construction of the Western Wei Dynasty. His son Su Wei was one of the four nobles of the Sui Dynasty. The martial arts Su family from which he was born was also one of the later generations of the Guanlong Group. backbone members.
As for Dugu Xin, let alone that. When it comes to historical figures in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, Dugu Xin is absolutely top-notch.
Many people in later generations may not know about Yu Wentai, but the title of Dugu Xin, the father-in-law of the three dynasties and the most awesome father-in-law, is something that comes easily. Just as many people may not know how many dynasties the Southern Dynasties are subdivided into, they will be excited when talking about Chen Qingzhi.
The symbolic figures in the original history books actually appeared in front of him alive. Anyone who knew a little bit about history could not help but be excited.
Li Tai was also excited because he felt that Dugu Xin seemed to be sizing him up just now. Could it be that he was so close to his own kind that he wanted to be his father-in-law when he saw himself with the same outstanding appearance?
If that's the case, Li Tai can really do it. This is the strongest era BUFF. It would be great if it could be added!
Of course, it is more likely that this was just an illusion caused by Li Tai's excitement when he saw historical celebrities.
The warriors of Beizhen are quite conservative when it comes to the marriage of their children and have very strong political goals. Although Li Tai does not deny the fact that he is handsome and unmarried, he can only get the advantage of being "not one of his own". The possibility is also slim.
Not to mention Li Tai's lament that BUFF is rare, after Dugu Xin and Su Chuoxing arrived in the middle hall, everyone in the hall soon gathered to sit down.
Shuo Hui was born in Wuchuan, and most of the guests received in the hall were martial artists from Beizhen. However, they did not dare to neglect Su Chuo, and even the noise and frolics were much restrained.
Unlike the Eastern Wei Dynasty, where nobles and nobles served in the army and participated in politics without scruples, the Western Wei Dynasty had a clear division of civil and military affairs from the beginning of the dynasty. Although the warriors of Beizhen were extremely powerful militarily, they had little involvement in political affairs.
In handling state affairs other than military affairs, Yu Wentai had his own team, represented by Su Chuo and other powerful Han people. Except for some major battles that Yu Wentai personally led and supervised, the close relationship between these Beizhen warriors and Yu Wentai was not as close as that of Su Chuo, who often worked in Daxingtai and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Most of the dealings between Su Chuo and these Beizhen warriors were official, and there was no deep personal friendship. This time he came to congratulate Qian, and it was also in line with the wishes of the generals. He asked how many favors he would give before going to the town. What are the needs.
When Su Chuo talked about this topic, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, and many people present subconsciously looked at Dugu Xin in the other seat.
"If you have any trouble with Su Shangshu, please report it to Daxingtai. If Huibao is not talented, he will do it if he is driven."
Hui Ben, who was also quite drunk, regained his clarity after hearing these words. He quickly stood up from the table and said solemnly.
Su Chuo nodded after hearing this. He probably felt that he had become an atmosphere killer, so he raised his wine glass and took a sip, then looked around at the table and said, "There is a guest named Li Boshan in the etiquette book in the vestibule. I wonder if he is there." Seat?”
Shuhui was stunned when he heard this question. After a moment, he glanced at the two people sitting in the other seats. They were the lobbyists sent by Zhao Gui to apologize to him.
"Li Boshan is a new friend of mine who is so talented that Su Shangshu appreciates him. It's a pity that he is not at the table today. I will lead him to visit Shangshu another day."
Shuhui had a good impression of Li Tai and saw He Basheng's attitude towards protecting him. He didn't want to talk too much about him in front of the Beizhen township party members to avoid causing trouble for Li Tai, so he shied away.
After hearing this, Su Chuo said it was a pity and did not continue to ask further.
The banquet continued, during which Shihui Hui asked his family slave to bring out his son Shuofeng, and toasted to the elders at the banquet. Naturally, the meaning was that after he left Huazhou, he asked these acquaintances and old friends to take good care of his family.
Shuifeng is not very old, still a child of seven or eight years old, but his words and deeds are already quite impressive, and he has been praised by everyone present. After this kid withdrew, everyone's conversation inevitably turned to the topic of children's education.
Although the warriors of Beizhen were heroic and uncivilized, they were very concerned about their children's education. Probably they have suffered enough from the humble sufferings of the border town warriors, and now that they are taking advantage of the situation to become prominent, they do not want their children to suffer the hardships they suffered in their early years.
"The most enviable person here is none other than Dugu Kaifu! He was from a famous family in Qinghe two years ago, and a virtuous woman is in charge of the family. Although Kaifu works hard outside, his children can still be well-educated!"
The world is constantly war-torn, and men often have to travel around to earn a living and accumulate merit. Therefore, in the family, women play the most important role in educating their children.
Dugu Xin remarried his wife Cui of Qinghe years ago, which is indeed enviable. The military men in Beizhen may speak disdainfully about the famous families in Hebei, but in their hearts they still envy these famous families for their family tradition and reputation.
It's just that the famous family boasts a high standard of marriage, and even if the current situation forces them to marry a low-ranking warrior, they will only choose a partner like Duguxin who has a good reputation and style, and a status comparable to that of Daxingtai. Other Beizhen warriors may be With high authority, it is rare to be invited to marry.
Dugu Xin was not willing to talk too much about family affairs. When he heard that the topic was directed to him, he looked at Shuo Hui and said with a smile: "Speaking of Shao Jin's style, when I was visiting Su Shangshu before, I saw a man in the front hall, Ru Yushu, standing in the courtyard. , The style is impressive. Since you are a guest at the residence, you should be a relative and friend of Huibao, so you might as well invite him to meet you. "
"Then I'd like to go and take a look. What kind of person can be praised like this by Brother Ruyuan?"
Shuhui stood up with a smile and wanted to go to the front hall to take a look and let off some alcohol, otherwise she might not be able to survive the second half. Drinks and drinks in Guanxi are very precious, and these Beizhen township party members came to congratulate him. Most of them heard that Daxingtai rewarded him with several jugs of fine wine, and they would not send him away without drinking them all.
After leaving the banquet in the middle hall, Xiu Huixing took a few steps to summon his soldiers and asked in a low voice: "Is Li Boshan waiting in the front hall?"
After getting the affirmative answer, Shuhui sighed and said: "This boy is really a talented person. After entering the house for a while, Su Lingchuo asked him, Ru Yuan said, it should be the same. Ru Yuan and I are waiting for a fight at Longbian, can we not If you wish to introduce this sword to me, I will lead him to meet you in another hall!"
