Northern Dynasties

Chapter 101 Meeting the Clan Family Again

Li Tai stood outside the hall and waited for more than half an hour before he heard footsteps coming from the hall behind him.He turned his head to look, and saw Dugu Xin walking out slowly, his expression calmed down and his expression returned to indifference.

Duguxin walked up to Li Tai, stopped, looked up and down again, and then showed a polite smile on his face: "Li Boshan, thank you, Gao Sima told me that you take good care of the grand master , make up for the debts of those of us who can’t pay close attention.”

Li Tai took a small step back, leaned forward and said, "The grand master treats me with great kindness. Although I am young and weak, I hope to do the best within my abilities."

After Dugu Xin heard the words, he didn't say anything else, he just walked out of the corridor, looked at the valley villa again, his gaze fell back on Li Tai, and his brows were slightly frowned in thoughtfulness.

"Although the construction of the small garden is simple, it is also elegant and interesting. Where do you live, let me take a look."

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Xin said to Li Tai again.

Li Tai didn't know why Duguxin expressed concern about his daily life, but he still led him to his living room.

Dugu Xin walked in, looked around the room, and stood in front of the door and window for a while, then turned to Li Tai and asked, "How many Huibao's sons is the red-skinned shrimp, and he also lives here?"

Hearing Duguxin's address to Jifeng, Li Tai immediately felt worthless for this little licking dog. Fortunately, this kid got impatient and already went to play elsewhere. If he heard this, he would be very heartbroken.

"The grand master usually likes to watch children play, and Bodhidharma is already his confidant, and he often earns a smile."

Although Li Tai was displeased that the kid who showed his licking attitude was not as good as himself, but after all, he was his own, so he still wanted to praise him, and pointed to several Feng's rooms while talking.

After hearing this, Duguxin just sighed, and then said: "Clean up, you and that boy Bodhidharma, you don't want to live in the valley again, just greet you in the morning and evening. I heard from the grand master that Daxingtai I appreciate you a lot, and at this young age, it is time to concentrate on your work and make meritorious deeds.”

Hearing this, Li Tai felt a little surprised and a little upset. Do I know you well? Why do you come here? I even have to listen to your arrangement where I live in my own house?
Dugu Xin didn't say anything else, turned around and walked out of the villa, and said as he walked, "I'll tell the Grand Master, I'll go first. There will be people coming here later, arrange for the villager to wait in front of the door."

Li Tai saw that this guy was very airy, and he seemed to have little affection for him, so he didn't bother to send it off, so he turned around and went back to the hall.

He Basheng was half lying on the couch, watching Li Tai walking in, he said with a smile: "How do you feel when you see your wish come true? The people in my northern town are not lacking. When I lived in Jiangdong, the clothes and crowns that have been passed down for a long time in the southern country The old people are also more impressed by his demeanor, no worse than your famous people."

"Not only is it not bad, it is simply bullying!"

Hearing He Basheng's boring comparison, Li Tai couldn't help replying in a muffled voice, and by the way, told about Dugu Xin's plan to drive him and Ji Feng out of the valley.

He Basheng was amused after hearing this, looked up at Li Tai, and smiled again: "It's not because you wished to be rude, but because of your own demeanor. Since he said so, you can just obey. Although my family in Beizhen is not as well-mannered as your famous family, but they also have their own simple rules, and it is only natural that the boudoir should be guarded."

Li Tai felt even more curious when he heard this, and He Basheng then told about his plan to adopt Duguxin's daughter as a foster daughter.

"Dugu opened the house and agreed? Uncle thinks that Bodhidharma and I are not careful enough?"

Li Tai was very surprised when he heard the words, and asked again quickly.

"It has nothing to do with you, and I'm not greedy for other people's flesh and blood, I just fulfilled his wish... Well, anyway, it's also a joy to me, Lao Jing is no longer alone."

He Basheng hesitated to speak, but Li Tai pondered for a while, and he could figure out that there must be something hidden in it, and it should be more than just comforting He Basheng's old feelings.

"Then uncle, how many daughters will Dugu open the house to talk about? Did it happen a few days ago..."

Since He Basheng refused to speak, Li Tai stopped inquiring and turned to other issues.

When He Basheng heard this, he gave Li Tai a blank look, and snorted coldly: "Don't think about that matter again, don't mention it again. Find a time to teach Bodhidharma a lesson in person. Let go of the depression."

"It should be, it should be."

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded again and again, feeling in his heart that this kid, Dou Feng, really deserves to be beaten up. We children are arguing, but you still call adults for help, how shameless you are!

Not only a few phoenixes, but he also felt that this matter was also due to He Basheng's disrespect for the old, and the combined age of several children in his family is not as old as you, so if you say beating, you will be beaten.

The old and the young are not fun, and I have little responsibility. Although I think so in my heart, I dare not say it out of my mouth.Li Tai only hopes that Dugu believes that his daughter understands the truth and understands the responsibilities in this matter.

Several phoenixes came running into the hall, with a small face full of excitement, and said: "Uncle, brother, just now I sent Dugu to open the mansion in the outer village, and he praised me for being a good boy, better than before. It’s more polite to see!”

Li Tai couldn't help laughing after hearing the words, you little red-skinned shrimp!

Now that he knew the reason why Duguxin wanted to drive them out of the valley, the sullenness in his heart disappeared.In the final analysis, Duguxin still understands the characteristics of people like them. Although Lan Zhi is fragrant and does not ask for bees and butterflies to disturb her, she is always inevitable.

Li Tai still has requirements for himself, even if he wants to be a thief, he has to be a thief.Generally speaking, this matter is not a bad thing, since Dugu Xin intends to send his daughter here, even if he does not make this request, he himself has to avoid suspicion.

So he ordered his family members to tidy up and vacate his and several Feng's living rooms, leaving only some servants who served He Basheng on a daily basis in the valley.

Dugu Xin also had a vigor and resolute air in his work, and after leaving the manor for more than an hour, several carriages of Dugu's family entered the manor.

"The servant's name is Li Tun, and he is listed in Dugu Kaifu's tent. According to the order of the lord, I will give some floating goods to thank Li Lang for taking care of Grand Master He Ba."

A middle-aged man dismounted from his horse and strode up to Li Tai. He crossed his hands to salute, and then handed over a roll of gift slips.

"Taking care of the grand master is my duty as a young man, and Dugu's generous gift for opening the mansion is really unworthy of me."

Li Tai felt in his heart that Duguxin was still open-minded in his work, and he had to be polite in face.

The middle-aged man forcefully brought up the gift list, but Li Tai refused, and then motioned Li Zhusheng to accept the gift list, and led the gift-giving team to the warehouse in Zhuangzhong to take stock of the gifts.

Li Tun looked at Li Tai with a lot of meaning in his eyes, he couldn't hold back after a while, and wanted to pay respects to Li Tai before entering.

Li Tai was startled when he saw this, he turned sideways to avoid it, and asked in surprise, "Why do you make such a gift?"

Li Tun bowed halfway to Li Tai, bowed his head quickly after hearing the words, and said, "Don't dare to be called a gentleman. The blood lineage belongs to you, and you should worship him in a certain ceremony. In the old year, fate was in trouble. In the Eastern Dynasty in armor, in the sand garden. Zhancai was lucky enough to return to the dynasty, and has since become a member of the lord's army. It is even more fortunate to be able to worship the ancestor's family in Kansai today!"

When Li Tai heard this, he realized that Li Tun was also from their Longxi Li clan, he hurriedly went forward to help him up, and said: "Shenzhou is in a state of chaos, Wang Tong is dusty, the blood of all families is scattered, and love is unavoidable. It is the luck in the world to keep our will and not fall.

I am also just a young child of the clan, with little knowledge, and I lost my care without being taught by my parents in detail.But seeing the general follow the benevolent lord, I am also very grateful. "

In his heart, he wished that the entire Kansai could be their clan relatives, but when he heard that Li Tun came from the Chen family, he couldn't confirm the authenticity for a while, so he could only say a few perfunctory words first, I am young, don't lie to me.

When Li Tun heard this, he also said apologetically: "It was someone who was abrupt and reckless, sir, please don't mind. Now that you know where you are, you will not lose the place you visited in the spring and autumn, so you will naturally know each other after a long time."

Although Li Tai was not sure about the authenticity of Li Tun's life experience, he was still close to him psychologically and in his attitude. First, he invited this person to sit down in the hall of the manor. Li Tun brought it back and presented it to Dugu Xin.

After thinking for a while, he took off the golden seal given by Yu Wentai on his waist, printed it on a piece of blank paper and handed it to Li Tun. The guardian is the family style and virtue. The former Daxingtai summoned him and gave this golden seal to praise the family style.

It is a great pleasure to meet the general today.Let's encourage each other with the proverbs of the ancestors, and look forward to the revival of the momentum in this township! "

Hearing this, Li Tun's face suddenly became serious. He first avoided the seat, then walked in front of his knees, took the printed paper with both hands, and said with a solemn and respectful face: "The ancestors have built this gold and jade family style for many generations. In the world, how dare the successor dare to violate it? You should defend it with your life, and you will never violate it!"

Seeing Li Tun's solemn statement, Li Tai was a little surprised for a while.He originally just wanted to show off that he was the head of the Guanxi Branch of the Longxi Li Family appointed by Daxingtai, but he didn't expect Li Tun's reaction to be so solemn.

After seeing off Li Tun and his party, Li Tai turned around and wanted to ask Li Zhusheng whether Li Tun's background just now was reliable or not.He didn't intend to poach Dugu Xin's corner, but if he could develop an internal response among Dugu Xin's subordinates, it would not be a bad thing at all, and he could definitely get closer.

But before he had time to ask, Li Zhusheng couldn't bear to speak first: "Ah Lang, have you seen the gift list? The gift from Dugu Kaifu is really generous!"

"Rites come out, gifts come in, it's not worth making a fuss about. Hengye sticks to it, which is the foundation of family affairs."

Li Tai replied casually, although our family is not rich, it is not bad. As for being so emotional because of receiving a gift?
While speaking, he took the gift list and glanced at it casually, at first he didn't care, then he was stunned, and after a while he said dryly: "I'll go to the warehouse to have a look."
