Northern Dynasties

Chapter 16
So many guests suddenly poured out in front of the corridor, it was overcrowded immediately.

Li Tai stood in the crowd, with shaking heads in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see the scene outside the crowd at all.

"Dugu Kaifu has already entered the hall, is it going to leave? Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't stop me from waiting for the Kaifu!"

A few barbarians were addicted to the game, and when they realized it, they were already behind the crowd, so they shouted and pushed the crowd in the hall.With the force coming from behind, Li Tai couldn't stand still, he was squeezed out of the crowd, and he took a few steps to stabilize his figure.

He was about to turn around to scold him, when he saw that all the guests had already saluted and shouted in one direction: "Dugu opens the house!"

"I will welcome the distinguished guests on behalf of the master, you don't need to be too polite!"

A magnetic baritone sounded, and Li Tai turned his head to look, and saw a graceful middle-aged man passing by outside the corridor.

This middle-aged man is wearing a long gown with a round neck and crotch, a brocade color with a white background, a leather belt around the waist, inlaid with gold and jade, and a black sarong crown with gold silk as the bone on his head. It's really extravagant and exaggerated, but the combination reveals a bright and eye-catching temperament.

Of course, whether the temperament is good or not depends on the appearance of the wearer.

Duguxin is in his early forties, and his body is not as big and bulky as that of several Hui. He is at least [-] meters tall, and he is not as big and round as ordinary generals. He is well maintained, with sharp eyebrows and three-dimensional features. A wealthy middle-aged man is stable and determined, with a handsome and dignified face, black beard and beautiful hair, and a pair of eyes that are piercing and bright, as if they are shining, whether they are walking or standing, they all become the focus.

What an old coquettish bag!
After sizing up for a while, Li Tai withdrew his gaze and made a silent comment in his heart. Immediately after realizing that Dugu Xin was looking at himself standing in front of the crowd with interest, he quickly raised his arms in salute.

Duguxin stood outside the corridor and paused for a few breaths, most of his eyes lingered on Li Tai, seeing him saluting, he nodded his head slightly, then waved to the people in front of the hall, and continued to walk towards the vestibule.

At this time, a middle-aged scribe with a long beard and beard was standing in front of the desk where the gift list was recorded in the vestibule.Before the person fell to the case, he raised his right hand to make an outline, and he did not move for a long time. There were already many guests waiting in line behind, but no one dared to urge him.

"The master is being drunk by the evil guests in the hall, and I have the right to invite the distinguished guests. Could it be because of this impoliteness that Su Shangshu refuses to enter the hall?"

Dugu Xin walked here, pointed at the middle-aged scribe and said with a smile.

After hearing the words, the middle-aged man only raised his head and nodded to Dugu Xin, then immediately lowered his head, looked at a writer on the opposite side of the desk and said, "Have you finished copying?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the middle-aged man raised his hand to reveal a gift list full of words, carefully rolled it up and put it away, then turned to the slightly embarrassed Dugu Xin, who was hanging aside, and said with a smile: "Master There are etiquettes for hospitality, and guests have ways of being guests. Each has its faults, how dare you have Lao Kaifu to explain it."

Dugu Xin glanced at the gift roll handed to the servant by the middle-aged man, and then asked with a smile: "Could it be that Huibao's gift exceeded the limit, and asked Su Shangshu to ask for the certificate himself? He is in the hall, and go to question it together!"

The middle-aged man's name is Su Chuo, and he is the Daxingtai Shangshu official. He is the most important political minister of Daxingtai Yuwentai.

"Could it be that in the eyes of Kaifu, Su is actually a bad guest? So I stopped, just because I saw a guest with fresh and interesting brushwork, so I forgot to copy it. Hurry up, hurry up, don't let the master wait for a long time!"

Su Chuo explained with a smile after hearing the words, and then went to the middle hall together with Dugu Xin.

Seeing the two civil and military officials leaving the room, everyone returned to the hall to sit down again. Li Tai also returned with the crowd, feeling quite excited. He did not expect to see two famous officials of the Western Wei Dynasty at the same time in such a short time.

Su Chuo can be said to be the most important government minister in the Western Wei Dynasty, and made outstanding contributions to the system construction of the Western Wei Dynasty. His son Su Wei was one of the four nobles of the Sui Dynasty. core members.

As for Dugu Xin, let alone.When it comes to the historical figures of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially at the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Dugu Xin is absolutely top-notch.

Many people in later generations may not know about Yu Wentai, but they really can't open their mouths to Dugu Xin's title of the king of the three dynasties and the most outstanding old man.Just as many people may not know how many dynasties were subdivided in the Southern Dynasty, but when they talk about Chen Qingzhi, they will be very excited.

The symbolic figures in the original history books actually appeared in front of him alive. Anyone who has a little understanding of history can't help being excited.

The excitement in Li Tai's heart lies in that he felt that Dugu Xin seemed to be sizing him up just now. Could it be that he is close to the same kind, seeing himself with the same outstanding appearance, and wants to be his father-in-law?
If so, Li Tai is really okay.This is the strongest era buff, if it can be added, it will be great!
Of course, it is more likely that this is just an illusion produced by Li Tai's excitement when he saw a historical celebrity.

Martial arts people in Beizhen are quite conservative and have strong political goals in terms of their children's marriage. Although Li Tai does not deny the fact that he is handsome and beautiful, only "not his own people" is the only item that he can catch up with. The possibility is also very small.

Not to mention that Li Tai lamented that the BUFF was rare, after Dugu Xin and Su Chuo arrived at the middle hall, everyone in the hall quickly joined them.

Shuohui was born in Wuchuan, and most of the guests received in the hall were warriors from Beizhen, but he didn't dare to neglect Su Chuo, who was a different kind, and even the noise of playing and playing was much restrained.

Unlike the Eastern Wei Dynasty, where nobles from the northern towns had no scruples about joining the army and working in politics, the Western Wei Dynasty had a clear division of civil and military affairs from the beginning of the dynasty.Although the Beizhen warriors have great military power, they have almost no hand in handling political affairs.

Yuwentai has its own team for handling state affairs other than the military, represented by Su Chuo and other Han Chinese tycoons.Except for some big battles where Yu Wentai personally led and supervised the battle, these Beizhen warriors and Yu Wentai were far less intimate than Su Chuo who often worked in Daxingtai and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Most of the contacts between Su Chuo and these warriors from Beizhen were on official business, not to mention the deep personal friendship. This time he came to congratulate Qian, and it was also out of Daxingtai's intention to ask how much money he would give before going to town. What is the need.

When Su Chuo talked about this topic, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, and many people present subconsciously looked at Dugu Xin in the other seat.

"If you have a question from Shangshu Laosu, please report it to Daxingtai. If you don't have talent, you can do it if you are driven."

Ji Huiben was also quite drunk, and after hearing this, his expression regained a bit of clarity, he quickly got up from the table, and said solemnly.

Su Chuo nodded after hearing the words, probably because he felt that he had become an atmosphere killer, so he raised his wine glass and took a sip, then looked around the table and said: "There is a guest named Li Boshan in the gift book in the front court. seats?"

Hearing this question, Shuohui was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he glanced at the two people sitting in the other seat. They were the lobbyists Zhao Gui specially sent to apologize to him.

"Li Boshan is a new friend of mine, who is so talented that Su Shangshu appreciates him. It's a pity that he is not at the banquet today. I will invite him to visit Shangshu some other day."

A few Hui had a good impression of Li Tai, and seeing He Basheng's attitude of defending him, he didn't want to talk too much about him in front of the township party members in Beizhen, so as not to cause trouble for Li Tai, so he shirked.

After Su Chuo heard the words, he said it was a pity, and did not continue to ask further questions.

The banquet continued, and during the period, Dou Hui asked his servants to lead out his son Dou Feng, and toasted the elders in the banquet to say hello, meaning naturally that after he left Huazhou, he asked these acquaintances to take good care of his family.

Shuofeng is not very old, he is still a child of seven or eight years old, but his words and deeds are already quite impressive, which has been appreciated by everyone present.After this kid withdrew, everyone's topic inevitably turned to the topic of children's education.

Although the warriors in Beizhen are bold and uneducated, they are very concerned about the education of their children.Probably because each of them has had enough of the humble suffering of the warriors in the border town, and now they have taken advantage of the situation to show off, so they don't want their children to suffer from the hardships they suffered in their early years.

"The most enviable person present is Dugu Kaifu! Years ago, even the famous family of Qinghe was cleared up, and a virtuous woman was in charge of the house. Even though Kaifu was working outside, the children could still be educated!"

The world is full of wars and chaos, and men often need to go out to earn a living and accumulate meritorious deeds. Therefore, women play the most important role in educating their children in the family.

Dugu Xin continued to marry Qinghe Cui's Liangshu a few years ago, which is indeed very enviable.The warriors from Beizhen may speak disdainfully about the famous families in Hebei, but they still envy the family style and fame of these famous families in their hearts.

It's just that the name and ethnicity are high in marriage, and even if the current situation forces people to be low-ranking warriors, they will only choose Duguxin, who has excellent prestige and style, and a status comparable to that of Daxingtai. With high authority, it is also rare to be invited to marry.

Duguxin was not happy to talk too much about family affairs, and when he heard the topic brought to him, he looked at Jihuihui and said with a smile: "Speaking of Shaojin's demeanor, when I was introducing Su Shangshu, I saw a son in the front hall, Lang Ruyu, who set up a courtyard , impressive style. Since you are a guest at the mansion, you should be relatives and friends of Huibao, so you might as well invite them to meet you."

"Then I'm going to take a look, what kind of character can be so appreciated by Brother Ruyuan?"

A few Hui smiled and stood up, going to the front hall to take a look, and let off some alcohol by the way, otherwise he might not be able to survive the second half.Drinks in Kansai are precious, and these North Town township party members came to congratulate him, most of them heard that Daxingtai rewarded him with several urns of fine wine, and they would not leave unless they drank it all.

After leaving the banquet in the middle hall, several Huixing summoned his own soldiers and asked in a low voice, "Is Li Boshan waiting in the front hall?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Ji Hui sighed and said, "This kid is really a talent that is difficult to hide. After entering the house for a while, Su Lingchuo asked him, what he said as he wished, and it should be the same. Introduce this word knife to fulfill your wish, and lead him to another hall to meet each other!"
