Northern Dynasties

Chapter 224 Li Lang urged makeup
After a few contacts, Li Tai didn't think that Dugu Xin was an arrogant and unreasonable person. Today's sudden irritability was a bit abnormal, which also made Li Tai quite surprised.

"May I ask Dugu to open the mansion, do you have any doubts? If I have enough intelligence, I will definitely share my worries for opening the mansion!"

After pondering for a while, Li Tai cupped his fists again and said.

"You? You should first think about how to deal with Hou Mochen. He was far better than you when he was young and strong. His brothers are all heroes at one time, and his family is also one of the few strong families in the town. If you offend him, you will never be like Zhao Yuangui can write it off easily!"

When Dugu Xin spoke up to this point, the impetuosity on his face subsided a little, probably because he felt that Li Tai's current situation was more difficult than his and was comforted, then he laughed and said, "What are you going to do about this matter? I advise you If the chieftain Hu he said doesn't do anything serious, it's best to follow Shang Le's order and help him eliminate it."

The topic turned back to himself, Li Tai thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled and said: "I'm afraid I will violate Dugu Kaifu's advice. The truth in the world is not only the power can be enforced alone. The place where the masses of the West have a foothold!
It is true that I am not a hero in the world, but if I am only strong, I will fall. Although Duke Pengcheng is mighty and formidable, he may not have the opportunity to show his might in front of me!If Duke Pengcheng's plan can greatly benefit the northern frontier defense, I will resign ashamedly, but if I am still in this position for a day, Duke Pengcheng will not enter this square inch no matter what he wants. "

To put it bluntly, although Hou Mo and Chen Chong are awesome, how old is he in the whole world?If I was really afraid of fighting against the strong, I would have knelt down to Gao Huan's friends as early as in Kanto, so it's your Wuchuan tyrant's turn to dictate to me?

When Dugu Xin heard Li Tai's answer, the gloating smile on his face slightly subsided, he bowed his head and remained silent for a while, and then he said again: "The human heart is like a bronze mirror. It can only be renewed if it is often wiped. It is inevitable to bury the heart. I am lazy to discuss the Tao with young disciples, and I have not heard warning words for a long time.

What you said is very reasonable, but I can do my duty and be skillful in governance, and I don't have to be afraid of evil forces.If the other class can take on the responsibility, there is no need to threaten me because of the situation.Unification is hard to overcome, each has a day, who is more powerful than whom?But seek to be tolerant to the Tao, not to be tolerant to others, so as to retain a frank essence. "

Li Tai saw that Dugu Xin was still full of resentment just now, and after listening to him talking nonsense, he began to make chicken soup by himself, and also vaguely guessed that the troubles Dugu Xin was facing were not small. Strengthen your mental construction.

Of course, there are not many things that can make Duguxin feel sad to this extent, and that would have to be the struggle of the uppermost powers in the entire Western Wei Dynasty.

There are thousands of explanations for the truth, but in the final analysis, it is still in oneself. Li Tai is too lazy to take care of Hou Mo and Chen Chong's instructions on his ministry. In the final analysis, is it because of Hou Mo and Chen Chong's inability?

He himself said that if he could completely eradicate the bandits in the northern border, there would be no chance for Li Tai to make contributions. Now that Li Tai has just started to improve, he came over to be the boss again, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Li Tai is still thinking about what problems Duguxin has encountered, but Duguxin has already said: "Don't come last year, did you ever visit the old grand master's door?"

Hearing this question, Li Tai's expression was a little embarrassed. Obviously, he was not asking if he had visited the Heba Jingwei brothers. During the festive season, dispatch personnel to comfort."

Dugu Xin nodded after hearing the words, and there was no obvious expression change on his face, but he just said: "In the past, we were strangers and didn't know each other. We became sworn brothers because of the grand master, and the relationship can last forever. Merit. Only when you have both, can you take care of other things.”

At this point, someone from other places called Zhu Yu's bridesmaids to prepare to make up, and Dugu Xin waved his hand to signal Li Tai to go, and only said before parting: "You don't have to worry about Chen's affairs, you can do whatever you want That's it. It's over here, you can come to me again when you have time."

Hearing the urgent urging, Li Tai had no time to say anything more, and after bowing his hands in greeting, he hurried to the entrance of the other hall.

The ceremony of urging make-up has existed in ancient times. The general idea is that the woman expresses her reluctance to give up, while the man must try his best to show sincerity, which is similar to the bridesmaids blocking the door in later generations.Animal courtship in nature also has similar behaviors. After all, it is to obtain the right to mate and the opportunity to reproduce.

The make-up reminder in the wedding customs of the Tang Dynasty also gave rise to the literary genre of make-up reminder poems, which can be described as elegant and interesting.But in today's Western Wei Dynasty, a group of Beizhen veterans really can't play so elegantly, but they still have to do everything, and they have to meet the various requirements put forward by the bride's family to successfully pick up the bride.

When Li Tai returned, the wedding party had already gathered.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, and the advocacy band that accompanied them played a makeup song, but the door leading to the boudoir in the back hall was still tightly closed.

Under the urging of the spectators and the bridesmaids, Yu Er Er, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, was nervous and slightly blushing, walked forward, clapping his hands and singing a reminder song, which was not a very elegant sound. Resignation is just a Xianbei slang song, to the effect that the meat at home has been stewed, the bed has been made, and the little lady will come home with me quickly, and then go to the bridal chamber after the banquet, and hold the two in three years.

Li Tai and other bridesmaids also stood behind the bridegroom, waving colorful sticks and singing in harmony with the second child, amplifying their momentum.However, Li Tai had a bad feeling in his heart, looking forward to a scene where the bride price would be added temporarily, and Yu Eryi got angry and said that this marriage will not end!
The two furniture are big households, so of course such a disgraceful thing would not happen.But after a make-up song was played, the door was still closed, and the women's family continued to sing songs on the other side of the door, to the effect that the road was long, the wind and sand were strong, and so on.

Every time the women sang a line, something would be thrown in outside the door, nothing more than daily necessities such as felt tents, curtains and hats, and Li Tai and other bridesmaids would do it for them.Although the object is not heavy, the wall is high, and Li Tai's arm hurts from throwing it down.

The two parties sang for half an hour before the door slowly opened, but what lay before us was not a smooth road, but a tall and undulating wooden frame shaped like a mountain, covered with thick felt cloth, and some bride's makeup. The ornaments are hung on the top of the wooden frame, and the bride's makeup can only be considered perfect after the groom's royal horse climbs up to take it off and present it.

Yu Lao is a child in his twenties and a half, so of course he can't handle this somewhat dangerous flowery work, and the bridesmaids will do it for him.

A steed horse tied with colorful silk was brought up, Li Tai already seemed to be an outlier during his journey, so he didn't want to show off any more, so he stood in the team for a while.

At this time, there are many spectators inside and outside, and there are also many female guests on the upper floors in the back garden. The colorful lights and shadows set up everywhere overlap, but it adds a hazy beauty.

The first person to ask for a job is Yuanqian, the prince of Guangping. I saw that without any support, he landed steadily on the horse's back with a little run-up. His posture can be described as vigorous. Encouraged even more, he rushed up to the wooden frame for more than ten feet as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, and the servants holding soft bamboo sticks next to him remembered to wave their sticks to stop him.

"Preparing for this Malaysia is to make things difficult for the young..."

Several Fengben also looked eager to try, but when he saw the horse, his face collapsed. Although he also practiced riding and shooting, but due to his limited height and size, it was still difficult to control such a tall horse.At this time, seeing Yuan Qian's big show, he had a look of displeasure, and directly defected to the team of the female family, cheering and cheering for the servants who blocked the climb.

Yuan Qian rode his horse and continued to go up, but suddenly he was slightly hit by a stick. He felt numbness and pain in half of his body. After a little relaxation, he rolled off the horse's back and fell directly on the felt cloth covering the wooden frame. Although it was not very painful , but a little disheartened.

"If it weren't for these house slaves to obstruct me, I would have taken off the makeup cage long ago!"

He retreated into the team, still looking angrily, and kept looking at the servants of the domineering family under the wooden frame, as if he still wanted to vent his anger and ask for responsibility.Yu Kuan quickly comforted him, and then sent another family member.

This general was already strong and capable, but he was even more heroic when he got on the horse. Regardless of the obstacles around him, he flexibly manipulated the mount under his crotch, watching it climb steadily, only when he was still more than ten feet away from the makeup cage hanging on the high place, There was loud drumming on both sides, and the mount stood up in shock, knocking the man off the horse's back.

There was a lot of regret in the welcoming team, but the relatives of the bride's family clapped their hands and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely cheerful for a while.

This general should be the most skilled horseman among all the bridesmaids, seeing him fall from his horse, Yu Kuan also made trouble for a while.He asked himself that he was no better than this general, and even if he played, he would mostly be making a fool of himself.

Although it is said that even if the makeup cage cannot be removed, it is impossible to fail to welcome the kiss, but losing face is always inevitable.This kind of innocuous play, the woman's family is also happy to add a joke to the guests.

"I'll give it a try, but it may not work."

Two people failed one after another, and the rest were either silent or inappropriate, another best man, Yang Yuan, stepped forward and said.

As soon as he took two steps forward, a female voice shouted from the attic of the inner courtyard: "Why don't you let Li Boshan appear?"

With the sound of this shout, everyone laughed loudly.The Xianbei woman was sincere and enthusiastic, not coy and rigid. Following one person shouting, there were corresponding voices everywhere: "Li Lang will not come out, and the makeup cage will not be given!"

Yang Yuan, who was already putting his hand on the saddle, was immediately embarrassed when he heard the girls in the attic shouting. After searching in the crowd, he saw Li Tai's figure, and said with a wry smile: "I haven't chosen a marriage yet, although I intend to do it for you." , but it’s hard to touch people, Brother Boshan..."

Li Tai was about to get into the crowd, but he was picked out anyway, so he could only walk forward with a dry smile.As he approached the steed, cheers erupted one after another in the attics of the inner courtyard, like a Boshan girl supporting her brother.

Here he got on his horse and rushed up to the wooden frame, showing a heroic figure, and his shouts became more cheerful. Just as the servants under the wooden frame were about to wave their sticks to stop him, another voice shouted: "Don't stop me, Li Lang!"

The servants stopped timidly, without these obstacles, Li Tai confidently climbed to the top of the wooden frame, and successfully removed the hanging makeup cage.

"This, what is this... If I am like this, I can climb high!"

Seeing this scene, the crown prince of Guangping felt a little unacceptable, stomping his feet and sighing.

"Brother is mighty!"

Several phoenixes were clapping their palms to applaud Li Tai, and when they heard the complaints, they sneered and said, "People look at you like a thief, and treat my elder brother as a guest, but they still don't know where they lost. Not only are you poor in skills, but also stupid. !"

　Thank you for your comfort and encouragement. Things at home are almost done. I will rest for two days to adjust my mentality and resume normal updates at the beginning of next month. . .Thank you for your support, thank you for your understanding. . .
