Chapter 434 Prepare for a rainy day
When Li Tai saw the young lady's smile as bright as a flower and the admiration in her eyes for him, he couldn't bear to blame him. He just took the young lady's wrist and walked into the seat. He asked with a smile: "When will you arrive in Chang'an? Why?" Don’t you want someone to sue?”
"I arrived two days ago. I specifically asked not to tell Mr. Lang. I was thinking that I would meet Mr. Jun in the city one day and share the joy of meeting again by chance."
Seeing that Li Tai didn't care about her uproarious behavior, Miaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon her mood became a little depressed again: "But it's a pity that I have never met my husband outside... I have met him several times. I drove around Gao Situ's house several times, but still didn't happen to meet him."
After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh again. Young men and women who are just starting to fall in love often have so many dramas in their hearts. They clumsily and deliberately create some so-called coincidences to prove that this relationship is God's will. of care.
He saw that the young lady looked a little disappointed because she did not prove that she was a perfect match and that she was destined to be a perfect match. He raised his hand and gently pinched her pink cheeks and said with a smile: "A good relationship requires destiny. My lady and I can meet in this world. It has been taken care of by heaven.
But maintaining a long-term relationship requires hard work by each person. It would be too lazy to rely on coincidence in everything. After I entered the capital, I was busy with various personnel matters and did not pay enough attention to my wife, so I was punished and did not meet her by chance. It seems that I will miss my wife more carefully in the future, so that even if we cannot be together in front of our eyes, we can still meet in our dreams. "
When the young lady heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "Then you must be attentive and feel what it feels like to be disturbed in your sleep!"
When Li Tai heard this murmur, he stretched out his hand and held the little lady's tender hand in his heart. Then he smiled and said: "The body is drifting with the flow and has no time, but the love is tied to this body and will not change even for a moment. When we are in two places, , I am just a heartless guest, and I have to reunite with my wife to become a loving person."
When the young lady heard this, her eyes gradually became blurred, but after a moment she couldn't help laughing softly: "No wonder after meeting Lang Jun, I always feel heavy-minded and not as smart as before. It turns out that I was left here by Lang Jun." It’s so full of affection! Since you gave it to me, I will treasure it and won’t let you take it back.”
While speaking, the young lady made another gesture of holding her heart firmly, her appearance was charming and charming.
After saying a few sweet words, the young lady took Li Tai's hand and talked about all her recent experiences, even her daily diet, in detail and shared candidly. And Li Tai didn't feel bored either. Although he knew a lot of people in this world, he was the most relaxed and comfortable getting along with this little lady. He didn't need any mental vigilance at all. He could relax to the extreme and relax. Feeling refreshed afterwards.
But now Li Licheng's wedding was still going on. The bride had already put on her makeup and left. Li Tai couldn't stay any longer and had to go back to entertain the guests. So he patted the back of the young lady's hand and said, "Stay at home tomorrow morning and take care of the guests." You go out for a trip to the city."
"Yeah!"
After hearing the words, the little lady immediately smiled and clapped her hands repeatedly. Seeing Li Tai standing up and about to leave, she quickly stood up and gathered her strength. Like a cat, she jumped straight into Li Tai's arms and murmured: "Goodbye at last. I’m so happy to see you husband!”
Li Tai held the lady in his arms for a moment, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door. He then let go of his arms and waved goodbye. When he walked outside the door, he saw his mother-in-law, Mrs. Cui, standing there after she had returned. The man in the corridor was admiring a gauze lantern with an expression of concentration, and he was sensible enough not to disturb him. He quickly left the place, met up with his family, and left Yang's mansion together.
The wedding team had to fight with the people who broke up the carriage, so after Li Tai returned, more than half an hour passed before Li Licheng finally took the bride back to his home.
Next came another wedding process. After the newlyweds were sent into the bridal chamber, the guests went back to their seats and drank all night long. Li Tai, the head of the family, also entertained all the guests enthusiastically and stayed up until midnight. The atmosphere of the wedding banquet was still very lively. He could only ask his family to take over, while he found an empty side room in Li Licheng's house to rest for a while. Fan.
On the second day of the wedding, logically speaking, the bride should worship her. But Li Licheng, a poor little guy, was just like Li Tai, a loner, so he naturally omitted this gift.
But this guy was given a lot of drinks when he welcomed the bride last night, and this morning he was caught by the groomsmen’s friends and drank again. He was so drunk that he walked around the house howling and asked Li Tai to come to the hall to accept the bride’s thanks. If there was no such thing If his cousin helps, how can he get a wife in glory!
Li Tai had an appointment with a beautiful woman today, so he had no time to talk to this drunkard. He rubbed his neck where he had a stiff neck from sleeping, had something to eat in the front hall to pad his stomach, and then hurried out the door.
In Duguxin's house, after getting up early in the morning, Duguxin was going to have breakfast before going to supervise the work at Li Tai's mansion. He looked up and saw his girl walking into the dining room dressed up. He casually said with a smile: "My lady is so dressed up today." "Zhuang, who are you going to visit?"
After getting engaged to Li Tai, Miaoyin felt that Aye was treating her more kindly than before. She no longer just kept a straight face and tried to teach her, so she gradually became more relaxed and casual when facing Aye. stand up.
Hearing Aye's question, she smiled and said, "I don't know anyone in Beijing. Whose house can I visit? Yesterday when I went to congratulate the Yang family, Li Lang made an appointment to go on a trip today, so I simply packed up, and Aye returned To make fun of.”
"Can't!"
After hearing this, Dugu Xin's face suddenly dropped, and he shook his head and said: "I know that you two have been in love for a long time and are eager to get back together. But today is still within the etiquette, so you need to be careful and observe etiquette. And his family has just There is a wedding that attracts the attention of the public. If you exceed the etiquette at this time, won't you give people a reason to talk about it and invite others to make fun of it? "
When Miaoyin heard this, her pretty face suddenly fell. Although she knew what Aye said was reasonable, she was still reluctant to give up this travel opportunity: "But Li Lang said last night that he would come this morning, and I'm afraid they are already on the way... …”
Dugu Xin was unmoved, and said casually: "Go back to the new year and wait until the wedding is settled, and we will stay together for life. You are so busy recently that you don't ask him about anything, aren't you just doing it to make your wedding beautiful and famous?" Good story?"
"Thank you for your hard work, then, I won't go out."
Hearing what her father said, Miaoyin was also moved. After pondering for a while, she spoke again.
After hearing this, Dugu Xin nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled and said: "There are many people in the city, but there are no eyes and ears in the house, and the huge courtyard is enough for fun. Remember to lead him to the Shooting Hall for a tour. , although the hall is good, there is no good equipment and furnishings. I heard that he has gained a lot from his trip to Jinyang. Is it time to return the items borrowed from this household? "
"Is there such a thing? How could I not know?"
After Miaoyin heard this, she shook her head and said. She looked at her father a few more times and then said, "Even if there are, aren't utensils made just for people to use? Who can make the best use of physical properties? Of course he is more qualified to own items! Li Lang used the equipment given by Aye to conquer Jinyang and become famous all over the world. Isn't this more meaningful than displaying the equipment in the Shooting Hall?"
After hearing this, Dugu Xin's smile suddenly froze on his face. Although he just made a joke casually, his daughter's response still made him a little panicked. Is that boy the only one who can be praised for attacking Jinyang? I was also based in Luoyang back then!
He was too lazy to argue with this ignorant woman, so he stood up and went straight out the door. When he reached the front court, he saw Li Tai walking into the court door.
"My father-in-law is going out so early?"
Li Tai strode forward and cupped his fists to salute Dugu Xin. He knew that during this period, Dugu Xin had supervised the whole process of decorating his new house and was very attentive. On the contrary, he directly became a hands-off shopkeeper in order to organize the wedding for Li Licheng, so I am also very grateful to my father-in-law.
Dugu Xin was feeling depressed. After hearing this, he just snorted without saying anything. He turned around and ordered his servant to lead his horse to the door.
"By the way, the people who arrived in Beijing finally arrived in Chang'an yesterday, and a batch of materials they brought with them also entered Beijing. I specially selected a few from them to honor my father-in-law, and I beg my father-in-law to accept them."
As he spoke, Li Tai moved his hand back, and then took a wooden box from Zhang Shinu. After opening the wooden box, there were several iron battle knives inside. Li Tai held them flat with both hands and held them up to Dugu Xin with a smile. Said: "I remember that my father-in-law regretted that he had lost his precious iron sword. I was lucky enough to seize many such instruments in Jinyang Palace a few days ago. They may not be as sharp as my father-in-law's old sword, but they can still be regarded as elite weapons..."
It's a good thing he didn't say this. When Dugu Xin lowered his eyes and saw the iron swords, his face suddenly turned darker. He turned his face to the side and coldly snorted: "Famous swords and treasures, you will use them when you need them." Only then can you make the best use of everything. Li Kaifu is a famous general in the world and deserves it."
After saying this, he walked straight out of the door without looking at Li Tai and got on his horse. But when he was halfway there, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Why should I go to his house to supervise the work?"
Even so, he still didn't trust leaving the matter to others, so he decided to personally supervise and renovate the mansion inside and out, completely erasing all traces of Daxingtai!
Li Tai didn't know why Dugu Xin was like this, so he could only lament in his heart that the worse his ability was, the worse his mood became. After a little slander, he went to the house. When he saw the lady dressed up today, his eyes lit up.
A teenage girl cannot be said to be charming and coquettish, but she is young and beautiful. She is a beautiful scenery in itself. If she is decorated with just the right clothes, it will naturally be even more eye-catching.
The lady was also very happy to see Li Tai again, and soon she talked about the previous conversation with her father without any loss.
Li Tai didn't agree with this, but since his father-in-law said so, he couldn't go out of his way to go against it when the wedding was approaching. Moreover, he felt that Dugu Xin was in a mood this time because he guessed that the materials he was going to donate to Daxingtai were much richer than those sent here. Bad luck.
He didn't have any special arrangements for today's date. It was just that some passers-by arrived in Chang'an. He happened to know that his wife was coming to Beijing, so he planned to let the young lady personally select the furniture and utensils to be placed in the new house.
Since we can't go out now, it's the same thing to have materials transported here for sorting. Some small items can be shipped directly, and large items have been mapped and catalogued.
After Miaoyin heard what he said, she was immediately overjoyed, and Dang even couldn't help but cheered. What she cares about is not the dazzling array of treasures, but the feeling of working together to build their new family.
So Li Tai ordered his family to transport some of the utensils to Duguxin's house, and let Miaoyin carefully choose from them, while he himself sat aside and took stock of some personnel matters.
He returned to the capital for a period of time, and he and his generals received awards one after another, and each made progress in official rank. There are nearly 20 people who have been given the title of general of fifth rank or above, and there are also seven or eight people who have been knighted. Just judging from the rank of officials, the people under his command have become a considerable political force.
However, the official titles conferred by the imperial court are only nominal ranks. As for the specific position and power that the people under his command can control, it still depends on the subsequent arrangements and distribution of the Bafu.
Li Tai is now the governor of Suizhou, but with the end of the Yubi War, there will be no room for further development in northern Shaanxi. The next step will be the Central Plains region where the world will be turbulent and disputed.
Li Tai doesn't just go wherever there is excitement, and the Central Plains region is the place of the Four Wars. Even if it is turbulent, the visible benefits are not great. Those who are stronger than Hou Jing and Wang Sizheng cannot occupy it for a long time.
In fact, he prefers to go to Shannan, especially the Jianghan area, to make a layout in advance to ensure that he can stride forward in the next large increase period. However, if he wants to infiltrate through military and political means, he still needs the authority granted by the Bafu. Cooperation.
But after he returned to the court with meritorious service, it seemed that although his relationship with his boss Yu Wentai had improved a lot, in fact, the internal estrangement did not lessen, but actually worsened.
After all, even if Yuwentai had said it a thousand times, he would never be the harmless little cute Bafu he was before. Appointment would inevitably add more concerns and considerations.
Yu Wentai also expressed his intention to recall Li Tai to the Taiwan government for appointment, but his intention was more to hope that Li Tai could share some of the government affairs that Su Chuo had been responsible for when he returned to the government.
This puts Li Tai in a bit of a dilemma. He is not very happy even if he is allowed to completely take over Su Chuo's power in the Taifu, let alone only a part of it. After all, he has thousands of troops and horses, and he is free to wander outside. When he enters the tyrant, he seems to have great power, but everything cannot go beyond Yuwentai's pattern. How can he accumulate strength to start a career?
So after weighing it up, although Yuwentai was not embarrassed to mention it yet, he decided to increase his contribution to Bafu, and then show Yuwentai his ability to collect money, and strive to win in the next It occupies a more important position in the Bafu military government plan.
There is certainly no shortage of generals in the country who are capable of conquering and fighting, but if it comes to being able to squeeze water out of rocks and urine out of toads, who else can there be besides Da Xingtai and me? It would be such a waste if I were not left alone in the most lucrative place!
