Chapter 243 The marriage between husband and wife
It was another early morning. Li Tai still dressed up as yesterday. After having a simple breakfast, Li Tai took his entourage out of the house and walked along the road yesterday to Dugu Xin's manor in Dongpo without waiting for Dugu Xin to send his people to invite him.
People really feel refreshed when happy events happen. Today’s sunrise is obviously brighter and warmer than yesterday. Although Dugu Xin has not made a clear statement yet, he did not make himself too embarrassed at the foot of the hillside yesterday afternoon. It can be seen that this old arrogant heart also acquiesces in his son-in-law.
So today I am really going to brush up the BUFF, and by the way, I will discuss how to give the dowry. He and his wife sincerely love each other, but Dugu Xin wants to be the father-in-law of a descendant of his dignified Longxi Li family. If he doesn't shed some blood to make up for the gap in family status, it would be a bit inappropriate...
thump!
He was still thinking about how to get the dowry, but unexpectedly, the pavement under his feet suddenly became loose and collapsed, and he was caught off guard and fell into a dog's poop. Fortunately, the pit was not too deep, and there was a thick layer of felt inside, so the fall did not cause too much pain, but the awkward posture was unavoidable.
The followers helped Li Tai out of the pit with all their hands. Li Tai lowered his head and patted the sand on his body, but a bitter smile appeared on his face. Thinking about it, he knew where the pit came from. He was lucky enough to avoid it yesterday. Today there is great joy and sorrow.
With his current gray face, it was obviously not suitable for him to continue visiting. Li Tai left a few people behind to search the nearby mountain path to see if there were any similar arrangements. He hurried back to the village to wash himself and put on new clothes. It was already mid-morning when we went out again.
In the manor, Dugu Xin was wandering in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sun rising higher and higher, his expression becoming more and more unhappy, and he said angrily: "This kid underestimates me! I should have been severely punished yesterday..."
Ms. Cui, who was standing in the corridor, no longer looked as sad and anxious as last night. Her eyebrows relaxed and she looked bright and charming. She looked at her husband wandering in front of the hall and making an angry sound, while the young lady kept looking around behind the hall. For a while, They couldn't help but smile, and at the same time they couldn't help but sigh. Li Boshan hadn't officially become the son-in-law, but he had already brought a lot of changes to their family atmosphere.
"Report to my lord, Governor Li has arrived in front of the village to ask for an audience!"
Finally, a Zhuang Ding walked in and reported to Duguxin.
After hearing this, Dugu Xin just nodded and snorted. He lowered his eyes to look at the shadow cast by the sunlight on the ground. Without saying anything, he turned back to the hall and sat down.
When Zhuang Ding saw this, he was at a loss. He stood frozen on the spot and didn't know what to do.
At this time, outside the door of the manor, the carpet laid yesterday had disappeared, and the warm hospitality of the people who came from the manor was naturally gone. Li Tai did not feel disappointed because of this, but he stood in front of the door for a long time and was not touched. Please come in, and I gradually feel that something is wrong.
"Is Dugu Kaifu still in the village? Or has he returned to the city?"
He patiently asked the doorman again, but the doorman just laughed and didn't answer. He still called the door again, not daring to neglect Li Tai too seriously.
After a while, several strong men walked up and invited Li Tai into the village with enthusiasm. One of them even whispered: "My lord returned to the city yesterday and walked quickly into the countryside. He is tired from the journey. Please invite Li Tai." The Governor is considerate.”
Li Tai felt happy again after hearing this. Why did Dugu Xin rush to the countryside? It was naturally because of him. Although this guy was still putting on airs, his thoughts were clearly revealed in his actions.
Under the guidance of the strong man, Li Tai quickly arrived at the middle hall of the manor. The hall was the same as yesterday, but his mood was completely different.
When he entered the hall, he glanced at Dugu Xin who was sitting there. Before Li Tai could salute, Dugu Xin had already frowned and said in a deep voice, "Have you prepared the tiger skins you asked for before?"
Li Tai was stunned again when he heard the words, and then he quickly handed over his hands and said: "Keep the instructions in mind from the beginning of the government. I originally wanted to trick my family into visiting the market, but I secretly felt that my intention was not sincere enough, so I planned to hunt for them myself. But there are no people in Neizhou. It’s dense, with many cities and towns, and big things are rare in the wilderness. When I return to the garrison in Beizhou, I will definitely..."
"Nonsense! There is nothing in the country for you to do your best as a young man, but you have to go to the wilderness and dangerous places to fight for your life with the beasts? It was just a fluke that you were granted a title by the Taiwanese government, not to raise a hawk, dog, and slave hunter! "
When Dugu Xin heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. Although what he said was caring and admonishing, his tone was full of displeasure.
Li Tai did not argue with him. After hearing the words, he quickly responded with a respectful attitude, which could be said to be very low-key.
Seeing his appearance, Dugu Xin's mood improved slightly. He pointed to the idle seat on the side and said, "Sit down. I also said that you have no time to visit today. I have already said goodbye to Daxingtai. If you come here a moment later, you won't be here." Time is waiting for you."
Li Tai had just sat down. After hearing the words, he hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply: "It's really rude to be late in summoning the elders. Just because I felt uneasy after saying goodbye yesterday and couldn't sleep at night. When I woke up, the autumn day was getting higher, so I hurriedly Come and pay homage in a hurry.”
When Dugu Xin heard this, he curled up his lips slightly, and then said with a smile: "What on earth is it that makes you, a young and talented person praised highly by the crowd, lose your composure and lose sleep?"
Li Tai had long sensed that this guy was not in the right mood today. He didn't feel annoyed when he heard that he knew what he was asking. He just sighed and said: "My heart is full of emotions, my mind is confused, and my heart is worried. How can I be calm? Even though it's a big loss, You still need to be somewhat concealed in front of others, but in front of Kaifu, you naturally have to show your arms openly and don't dare to pretend! Yesterday in this hall, my mood was ups and downs. I just felt that things in the world are tricky and difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I would like to invite you to a table in Kaifu. , please have mercy and seek comfort..."
"I heard that you said to others that you must share food and sacrifices to the grand master's family in this life? You are arrogant. You are not satisfied with the grand master's kindness during your lifetime, and you still want to disturb you after your death!"
When Dugu Xin heard this, his brows straightened, but his tone was still scolding.
After Li Tai heard this, he felt more and more that Mrs. Miaoyin was cute and cute. The previous idea of coveting me was really ridiculous, but before he got a solid promise, he still had to deal with it patiently. He could only say: "There is true goodness in the world, the masses." Everyone is thirsty. If you are lucky enough to have a taste of this, you can't help but be greedy for it, but you can get what you want without fear of ridicule! "
"If you know that everyone is thirsty, why do you think you can keep this taste alone?"
Dugu Xin looked at him with burning eyes and asked again.
"Do your best, live up to others and live up to your heart. As long as you can keep these two things, there is nothing in the world you can't do without!"
Li Tai simply stood up and bowed to Dugu Xin's table again. His application tone was extremely sincere: "The opening of the mansion has been tempered by the world, and he has a clear sense of how to observe people and events. I know that there is no way to hide my thoughts, and I can only rely on my full heart." I hope I can be moved by my true feelings.
Although my wife, Miaoyin, has not been through the trials of sorrow and joy, we are united in our hearts and have no fear of walking together in this world for a long time. We have made up our mind to each other, and we cannot change our minds despite the great disturbances. But now we are just hoping to get the approval of the elders in the household! "
"Bold! Unbridled!"
Dugu Xin's expression gradually calmed down, but after hearing these words, he suddenly got up and pointed at Li Tai with an angry face and yelled: "Are you laughing at my family's lack of ethics? Who can know the right and wrong of obedience?" How dare you hide your parents' secrets and spend your life together! If it's a girl from another family, you may be able to defraud her or take her by force, but you won't be allowed to act recklessly in my family!"
Hearing Dugu Xin's angry voice, Li Tai couldn't tell for a moment whether he was just pretending or if he was really angry. But when he got to this point, he could only respond in a deep voice: "Although Bo Shan is not talented, But it is definitely not Xiaoxiao. I am moved by love, and I start by myself. I am wandering in the rivers and lakes, and I don’t know where to ask for help. But if I am deeply in love, I am afraid that if I stick to it, I will lose a good relationship. I have to bow to Kaifu and ask for help. The decision is made for both families.”
"When I resigned from Daxingtai, I had already discussed the marriage of my children with Daxingtai."
After listening to Li Tai's words, Dugu Xin sat back in the banquet. He saw a look of surprise on Li Tai's face, but he laughed evilly, and then said: "The wedding date is tentatively scheduled for next winter, and there will be a happy event at my house." Before it happens, I don’t have time to host a big celebration for your family, why don’t you wait?”
"I can wait, I can wait!"
When Li Tai heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was considered a bit harsh by Dugu Xin, so much so that he felt slightly frightened and almost had to build a bridge and run away.
Seeing Li Tai still bowing in front of the case, Dugu Xin stood up, helped him up, and walked him into the banquet himself. He looked at Li Tai deeply, and then suddenly sighed and said: "Boshan, don't blame me for so many things." Pretending to lie, I really appreciate your young strength, and I am willing to give you my wife's life. However, people's words are scary and make people feel uneasy. Your family background is noble, or you can be infatuated for a while, can you? Our military strategists have been harmonious together for a long time, and I am still in control of myself. I only hope that you can share my heart and cherish the things I love in your home!"
After struggling for a long time, he finally spoke human words. Li Tai was very pleased for a moment, and he quickly bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, Kaifu, I will definitely remember what I told you today. Although my words are weak, fortunately I have been observing for many years. Hope. I am young, frivolous, and have high self-esteem, but if I am one with my wife, I will never be unkind to her!"
After hearing this, Dugu Xin laughed again: "I believe this, and I also appreciate your young and crazy self-expectation, so I am happy to entrust my wife to you. From now on, not only my own expectations, but also my own responsibilities Remember the expectations that people in this sect have for you. There is no one in my sect. Sometimes, when the situation is forced and things are short of schedule, you no longer have to worry about being alone."
At this point, he smiled and said to Li Tai: "I know you want to attract Yang Zhong to Neizhou, and I have already done this. But you have to base your business planning on Beizhou. I But I have a different opinion, do you want to hear it?”
After hearing this, Li Tai nodded quickly. Although he said that Dugu Xin was a fan of the authorities and lacked his own prophetic vision, he had been immersed in this world for a long time. Now that the family did not speak the same language, he also wanted to hear what Dugu Xin said about him. Any suggestions for planning?
