Chapter 239 This is true
The Cui family attaches great importance to this blind date and is full of sincerity. Almost all male and female clan members are present. Even a few people who are serving as officials in Chang'an or other states specially take time to come back.
The manor has also been carefully decorated. The front and rear courtyards have been kept spotless, and the halls have been decorated very elegantly. Although it is not eye-catching with its gorgeousness, it still exudes a sense of comfort both inside and outside.
The adult male tribesmen entertained Li Tai freely in the hall, while the women, children and family members watched from a distance on the first floor elsewhere, and they could not help but comment.
Seeing people from all the Li, Tai, and Gong tribes walking together, a Cui woman in the small building couldn't help but sigh: "The old woman has always thought that the characters in Guanxi are simple and simple, not as good as the Luoxia style of the old years. Even if there is really something The people who praised him were probably just this type of people who were slightly better than Zaliu, but they didn't expect that the son of the Li family was so outstanding, even if he was just the unforgettable Luo Xia Fengliu, this kind of person would be in the middle. It’s an excellent choice!”
"This is natural. The Li family in Longxi is already famous all over the world. In the old years, Heyin suffered a lot of disasters, but some of its personnel details were fortunately preserved. After the calamity, there will inevitably be outstanding figures who will inherit the past and continue the family. Create brilliance. The family’s heritage, education, and fortune all depend on this, isn’t it impressive?”
Another woman in the table spoke, her tone also very satisfied with Li Tai.
Mrs. Cui of Duguxin who was present at the table said with a smile: "I am young and don't know what the famous people in Luoxia were like in the past. In today's era of decline and chaos, family background and style are not the foundation for a man to succeed, nor is his talent and power. The key points will not be considered in depth.
Although Li Boshan has only been here for a short period of time, he is very capable and has advanced in power. Many famous officials and generals in the world have avoided him. He has also been highly praised and used by many powerful ministers. If he is really strong, there are no flaws. , it’s just that the outstanding ones don’t stand out from the crowd and need to be cared for and protected by those close to them, so that they can be protected from the jealousy and persecution of evil-minded people. "
"What kind of problem is this? Whose family can recruit such a virtuous husband, and the family will be more glorious? Although my family is not known for its power, it will care for and care for Shaoliu, so that he can focus on his work and make progress. !”
An old woman with fair hair and good looks at the table said with a smile. The wrinkles on her face were much smoother. She lowered her eyes and looked at a beautifully dressed and dignified girl at the table and said: "Sister, you are at the right age. If this happens , I can be said to be a very blessed person. Your grandmother is not a mean and mean person. On the day of my wife’s wedding, she will take away the good things that I brought to my house in order to bring happiness to my wife’s new home.”
When the third wife of the blind date heroine heard this, Xiafei's cheeks suddenly became filled with embarrassment. She held her skirt and her belt with her hands and lowered her head, but she still whispered with anxiety and worry: "After saying so much, It's just an internal plan, but I still don't know what Li Lang thinks..."
Hearing this, all the relatives in the house couldn't help but feel a little worried. Even if some people thought that putting on this scene was a bit fussy, when they saw the other party's character with their own eyes, they inevitably lacked confidence.
Nowadays, the king's business is hunting in the west and the world is uneasy. Families like theirs will inevitably succumb to the power, and helpless things such as marriage failure and the like often happen.
A legitimate daughter of a famous family like Cui would inevitably have to marry a powerful upstart like Dugu Xin, who was just a stepmother. But at the very least, Dugu Xin is powerful and can be relied upon, and he is considered the best choice among the soldiers in terms of character and ability. It is already a good match that is envied by many famous families.
Li Tai is naturally not as powerful as Dugu Xin, but he has promising prospects and is almost impeccable. It is an extremely rare choice in today's Kansai.
"No matter what the final result is, our family has finally taken this step. A beloved man is always envied by others, and no one can say that admiring and asking for love is a disqualification. Sanniang, please put away your shyness for the time being. This husband is alone. After entering Kansai, he soon built up a considerable family fortune, and he must have hoped to choose a virtuous and capable housekeeper to make his family worry-free. "
The old lady said in a deep voice: "Later, when the wine is flowing in the outer hall, you can go to the hall and show your face. My family does not deceive others about their ignorance. It is up to people to judge whether they are ugly or beautiful. Whether they are successful or not, they do not lose their magnanimity. ”
"I, I understand, please don't worry, grandma, you won't dare to be rude to your distinguished guest."
The third lady nodded again and said, she also wanted to fight for her lifelong happiness. She turned her eyes and looked at Cui again and said: "Cousin, where is Madam Miaoyin of your family? I remember my cousin said, Miaoyin has been living with Li Lang for a while, so she seems to know something about Li Lang's hobbies and interests. I would like to ask in detail..."
Mrs. Cui had this intention when she came here with Lady Miaoyin today. After hearing this, she nodded, turned to the maid next to her and told her twice to invite her to come.
The maid returned shortly after leaving, but there was no Lady Miaoyin following her. She lowered her head and whispered, "My lady has just led a dozen village slaves out. Please tell me that you don't have to look for her. She will come back in the evening."
Hearing this, a woman at the table sighed and said: "Miaoyin, after all, she is not as demure as my wife. Madam, you are a stepmother. You are alone in the house and don't stay home often. These children in the discipline household are not pregnant in your own intestines." It must be very hard for the children who have given birth, right?”
Mrs. Cui was a little unhappy when she heard this. She defended her children in front of others and just shook her head and said, "When you get along with others, you should compare your feelings with others. Although the children in the household are young, they also know what is good and what is right and what is wrong. They are lively and playful. Who knows?" It is inevitable for children in the family, but they can also listen to and listen to teachings, which often makes people happy and will not worry them.
Miaoyin was polite and dignified. If it hadn't been for today's family matter, she would never leave the house. I also allow her to indulge her feelings for a while today, but she must not break her promise to the younger generation. "
After hearing this, the woman laughed dryly and did not dare to say anything more to bring trouble.
Women naturally rely on their father and elder brothers in the pavilion, and when they get married, they must respect their husbands. It may be inevitable that they will have sighs and thoughts about the Cui family, but their family living in Kansai is inevitably protected by Dugu Xin's power. Don't dare to be rude.
Not to mention the discussions and thoughts of the women in the inner building, the Cui family brothers and other tribesmen in the outer hall were also very attentive to Li Tai. After sitting down, they frequently drank wine, drank and drank, and there was no silence at all.
But this enthusiasm only made Li Tai feel more uneasy and embarrassed. He was never afraid of anyone's cold eyes on him, but faced with such a warm reception that was wrong and destined to be fruitless, he I don't know how to deal with it, so I can only deal with it for the time being, while I am thinking about how to deal with it when it comes to serious matters.
Among the Cui brothers, apart from Cui Yansheng, who was a subordinate of the Dushui Administrative Office, Li Tai was also familiar with Cui Yanmu, who wanted to be his father-in-law. They had worked together in Taifu for several months.
Although he was addicted to absenteeism and could not work for more than a few days a month, he could not stand it and was always involved in secrets when he was in charge of the Taiwan government's reporter's office, so he was quite popular.
Cui Yanmu frequently told interesting stories about his previous contacts with colleagues, and when talking about the evaluation of Li Tai by his colleagues in the Taiwan government, he was even more generous in praising him. Next to him, Cui Yansheng also used every opportunity to talk about the establishment of the Dushui Administrative Office and the Three Defenses City. The Cui clan members in the hall looked at Li Tai with even more satisfaction.
But the better the atmosphere, the more uncomfortable Li Tai felt.
Although it was embarrassing, things had to be faced. Listening to everyone praising himself as a flower in the conversation, Li Tai felt more and more that he could not delay it any longer. The deeper the other party expresses his feelings, the more awkward it will be when the matter is revealed.
So he cleared his throat in the middle of the table, picked up the wine glass and walked to the Cui brothers' table. He held the wine glass in both hands and gave a long salute. Then he said to Cui Yanmu: "When I come to the village today, I joined the army and told me this song. I was shocked to know that I was so appreciated by you. I am truly horrified and honored, but I really feel ashamed of myself!”
When everyone in the Cui family heard Li Tai take the initiative to talk about this topic, they all put down their things and looked up at Li Tai. Cui Yanmu stood up from the table, leaned forward, put his hands on Li Tai's arms and said: "Li Lang, there is no need to say this. Before speaking, I should apologize to you. I take the liberty of causing nuisance. Please do your work." Procedure……"
"The elder recruits me, and I dare not resign. However, this friendship is profound, and I regret that I might not be able to accept it."
With the help of alcohol, Li Tai squeezed his eyes hard. When he opened them again, tears were already shining in his eyes: "You should have a brief knowledge of Boshan's life experience. He was separated from his family in Hulao due to a military accident. , I returned home hastily and was helpless. Fortunately, my late Grand Master Heba took pity on me and protected me. He treated me very kindly and treated me like my nephew, so that I could rely on him.
When the Grand Master was here, we made a joking agreement that the old would help the young and the weak, and the young would take the lead. The grand master has a good heir, but Boshan dare not break the promise. Although the yin and yang are separated now, there is nothing to express our love and affection. We can only share the meat that is offered as a sacrifice in the food..."
Hearing what Li Tai said, Cui Yanmu's expression also changed, his smile disappeared, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Boshan and you congratulating Grand Master Ba together are indeed touching, but in the end, we have to obey the destiny. You can't As far as I know, Grand Master Heba doesn’t seem to be..."
Before he finished speaking, Dugu Xin's father-in-law Cui Yanzhen next to him started coughing. This cough immediately reminded everyone, and they all figured out what Li Taiyan was referring to.
Cui Yanmu felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He didn't know what to say for a moment. His brother Cui Yanzhen stood up and looked at Li Tai and said: "Li Lang, it is indeed surprising that you candidly confess your feelings. But in this matter, Mr. Hanoi... or do you two already have an agreement? "
"My selfish thoughts have not yet been revealed to Dugu Kaifu. However, my friendship is firm. Regardless of whether Kaifu agrees or not, this is my intention! Therefore, I can only thank you for your favor and appreciation. I am only humbled by this honor. I regret that I cannot enter." Households are based on love. But human love is not limited to marriage. I will bear in mind the affectionate hospitality you received today, and I deeply hope that things will be harmonious and reciprocated in the coming year!"
Li Tai quickly cut through the mess and explained the matter clearly, but he didn't know that on the mountain road to the west of the village, Lady Miaoyin was instructing the villagers to dig holes on the road: "Don't dig this hole too big, give him some shock." That’s fine, I’m not going to trap you in hunting tigers and wolves! Lay down a thick layer of felt…”
