Chapter 432 Yongzhou Zhongzheng
Seeing Yang Fu's embarrassed and troubled expression, Li Tai was a little bit dumbfounded for a moment. Unexpectedly, he just wanted to arrange his brother's wedding to be more grand, but in the end, his relatives felt ashamed and wanted to back out.
After thinking for a while, he added: "The two families are in good love. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to change the scheduled date. Even if there are any difficulties, the two families will solve it together."
After Yang Fu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh again, which was really hard to say.
Since the Zhengguang period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil. Even marriages from famous families have to be simple and no longer so particular. But if you don't pay attention to it, you don't pay attention to it. You still have to have basic decency.
Although it is said that some families pay more money as compensation for losing their kind in marriage, Li Licheng's marriage obviously does not fall into this category.
They are well-matched to each other, and there is no question of who helps whom. Although the Li family in Longxi is slightly weaker in Kansai, their influence is no less powerful, and even exceeds it. As for Yang Fu, his eldest brother-in-law, he is currently serving as Li Tai's subordinate and has just been awarded the title of Marquis for his achievements in Jinyang. He is really being cared for and supported by Li Tai.
Although these famous and aristocratic families are very arrogant when facing poor families, they are not willing to bow down when facing the same kind of aristocratic families. If they want to maintain an equal status, it is nothing more than doing what you do and I will do it.
Specifically on the issue of children's marriage, since you are willing to build a luxurious house, then I have to give you a generous dowry. If you can't do this, you will look down on the other party and yourself, and your face will definitely be lost. Maybe good things will turn into bad things, and each other will turn against each other.
Nowadays, the Li family's hall is so gorgeously decorated, it can be said that the whole room is full of splendor. If the dowry utensils of their Yang family's dowry are just ordinary items, they will not look good in the room! Even if the other guests don't ridicule, they themselves will feel disgraced.
So after sending people to visit the house that day to take measurements, the Yang family was in trouble. The dowry utensils they had prepared in advance obviously didn't match. And this is partly to blame for the fact that the Li family did not follow common sense and only made such a big move when the wedding was approaching, which caught them off guard.
But they didn't dare to complain about Li Tai. After all, the mainstay of the family was still working for others. Moreover, when Li Tai came back, he could use more powerful moves, but Yang Fu, who came back with him, couldn't catch it because of his lack of ability and attitude.
Seeing that Yang Fu was silent for a long time, Li Tai felt happy again. It seems that your Hongnong Yang family is not good either. That Yang Gong has not been weaned yet, and he has not saved a Yang Gong treasury for you.
Putting aside the evil intentions in his heart, he naturally couldn't let his little brother be so rich that he didn't have a wife, and at the same time he had to take care of Yang Fu's self-esteem, so he said: "Before, Yang Sima gave up his family affairs and went to Beizhou with me, so Sima Sitting at the back will allow me to have no worries. This time there is happiness in the house, so I should express my congratulations in a polite way, and also make up for Yang Sima's shortcomings caused by his failure to focus on family affairs."
When Yang Fu heard this, he felt embarrassed and grateful at the same time. He stood up in a hurry and said at a loss: "You are serious about your words. I am really ashamed of my humble position. I am going north this time. I know how hard it is to work." I don’t have many things to do, and it’s all thanks to the support of my envoy that I can return to the country as a meritorious soldier. Really, really, I can no longer be greedy for favors..."
"We have such a good relationship, and we should make good use of our friendship. As long as we can help this new team get married smoothly, we don't have to worry too much about the rest. And Sima and I not only share the past, but also have many careers to share in the future. Support, so Sima, you don’t have to be too rigid.”
Li Tai smiled again and said that as long as he wanted to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, local snakes like the Hongnong Yang family with big trees and deep roots were worth wooing.
He also didn't expect that he originally just wanted to use Li Licheng's wedding to do a live broadcast to bring goods, but he would actually get such an unexpected gain. There will be interactions between them for a long time. He has paid too much here. If the Yang family knows this, they will naturally have to make up for it elsewhere.
After hearing what Li Tai said, Yang Fu stopped making any more excuses and just sighed and said: "Uncle Huzhong once praised you, although you are not known for your age, but your broad-mindedness and benevolence are the best in this world." Many rural elders who are famous for their virtues and righteousness are not as good as him. Since I started working in humble positions, I have been deeply impressed by it. It would be a pity if this kind of kindness and righteousness could not be extended to the public and make everyone feel the beauty of this virtue and righteousness. "
When Li Tai heard this, he didn't take it to heart. He just thought it was Yang Fu's polite words. However, he didn't expect that when he turned around to attend the court meeting, he would be awarded the post of Yongzhou Dazhongzheng.
Dazhongzheng is the core figure in the nine-level Zhongzheng system. One word can determine a person's future. He is the most popular choice for people with high status. However, in the current Western Wei regime where the hegemony is in power, the selection of officials is no longer based on the ninth grade Zhongzheng. The state and county Dazhongzheng has gradually degenerated into an honorary title.
However, not everyone has the chance to obtain this honor, not to mention that Yongzhou is the capital of Kansai and the capital of the capital, and the position of Dazhongzheng has such extraordinary significance. Li Tainian had to be awarded the title of Dazhongzheng of Yongzhou before he was weak, which is also It's definitely an honor.
Seeing Yang Kuan, who was in the same palace, looking at him with a smile on his face, it was obvious that this appointment was closely related to the Hongnong Yang family. Li Tai could not help but sigh that the Hongnong Yang family was worthy of being a local leader in Guanzhong and had great influence in the court. It can be said to be huge, and the next Yongzhou Dazhongzheng can be moved out in just two days.
At the same time, he couldn't help but lament that although these famous clans suffered a severe blow from the Six Towns Mutiny, they were still very arrogant and even used the official positions established by the state as gifts for personal relationships.
Now he is a beneficiary, but he is not in his position and does not seek to govern. But when he becomes the master of the country next year, he must vigorously fight against this evil trend and block the possibility of the five surnames monopolizing political resources.
Naturally, the Yang family didn't know that this act of reciprocating favors actually aggravated Lu Tai's wariness against them. After Li Tai presented treasures to ensure that he would not lose face, they naturally began to prepare for the wedding happily again, and soon Li Licheng arrived. The wedding day.
Li Tai and Li Licheng are the two men from the Guanxi branch of the Longxi Li family. Now that Li Licheng is getting married, it stands to reason that Li Tai will serve as the best groomsman.
However, his current official status, meritorious service and reputation are far beyond the standards of the younger generation. He has just assumed the prestigious position of Yongzhou Dazhongzheng. If he serves as the best man, it will only make everyone feel uncomfortable. Who will Dare you really block him with a car and get him drunk?
Therefore, long before the wedding day came, Hongnong Yang specifically told not to let Li Tai serve as the best man. They really couldn't afford it. However, even if Li Tai did not participate, Li Licheng now had many friends in Beijing, so it would be easy for him to select a few young men to serve as besties.
In the evening, Li Licheng and other welcoming teams set off in a mighty manner, while Li Tai stayed in the gorgeously decorated new house to entertain the guests who came to congratulate them, and introduced them to the various beautiful decorations in the house. Taste.
As time goes by, the sky gradually becomes dark. As the lamps inside and outside are lit, the inside and outside of the hall are filled with all kinds of jewels, and with the changes of light and shadow, it reflects many dreamlike brilliance.
Hearing the envious exclamations from the guests inside and outside, Li Tai couldn't help but smile. It's a pity that the cultural atmosphere in Kansai is really insufficient. Even many of the descendants of the noble families present today are a little less coquettish. Otherwise, if they take the opportunity to copy a few paragraphs of poetry, then Not more exciting?
Li Tai was still a little regretful here, thinking about how many years it would take for literary figures such as Yu Xin of the Southern Dynasty to be introduced, but there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and soon Zhang, who was wearing a brand new robe and was originally following the wedding procession to serve as the best man. Shi Nu hurriedly ran into the hall and said to Li Tai with a bitter look on his face: "Master Lang, the Yang family and the female relatives of the Yang family, they don't allow our wedding team to enter the hospital..."
