Northern Dynasties

Chapter 242
In Dugu's manor, most of the Cui clan had already left, only Cui Yanzhen and Cui Yanmu brothers still sat in the hall, but each of them had some uneasy expressions on their faces.

Before Dugu Xin led his staff into the villa in a hurry, anyone could see the importance that Dugu Xin attached to Li Tai by looking at his anxious expression.But their family has borrowed Dugu Xin's garden business, and they want to marry here to entertain the person whom Dugu Xin likes, which is really embarrassing beyond words.

Although Li Tai had clearly rejected it, Dugu Xin always needed an explanation here, so although the two brothers didn't want to face it, they still bit the bullet and stayed.

The two of them were not the only ones who felt this way. Dugu Xin led his staff to lead his little lady back and sent her to the backyard of the village to settle down. Knowing that the two brothers of the Cui family were still waiting in the front hall, he couldn't help but Irritated again, he lingered in the courtyard for a while before walking to the front hall.

The two people outside the hall heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, they quickly stood up and came out of the hall to welcome them together. Seeing the figure of Dugu Xin appearing in front of the door, they clasped their fists and said: "Hanoi Gong..."

Dugu Xin nodded, forced a few smiles from the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and said to the two: "This hall is not from another household, you two don't need to be formal, please take your seat."

The three of them sat down, but they didn't know what to say.

In name, although the two Cui family brothers are also the elders of Duguxin's wife's family, there is a huge disparity in their status and status between them, even in age.Cui Yanzhen and his son-in-law are not much different in age, but Cui Yanmu is nearly ten years younger than Duguxin, and he really can't put on any elder attitude.

They were silent to each other, and the atmosphere became even more awkward. Duguxin looked at the tea that was still on the case, coughed a few times, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Nan people have not tasted the food for a long time. Seeing you in Yutang makes people think about the past." !"

The brothers of the Cui family came from the Cui family in Qinghe. Their ancestors fled to the Southern Dynasty because of the Cui Haoguo historical case. They lived in the Southern Dynasty for many years before returning north and settling in Henan. Therefore, the food taste also retains some southern habits.

Cui Yansheng, the younger brother of his family, is Li Tai's subordinate and colleague, so he has a little understanding of his eating habits. He knows that Li Tai doesn't like buttermilk but likes to drink tea, so his family specially prepared it.Hearing what Dugu Xin said now, the two brothers inevitably looked even more embarrassed.

Cui Yanmu stood up from the table, clasped his fists to Dugu Xin and said, "Mr. Hanoi, I'm really sorry for taking advantage of the property and disturbing the family today..."

Although it is difficult to talk, but the topic is always unavoidable, Dugu Xin quickly waved his hand and said: "Cui Hou said seriously, I should apologize to the two of you for today's matter. If I can inform the household affairs plan early, then It can avoid such a misunderstanding."

Speaking of this, he paused first, and then sighed again: "It is true that we made a promise with Grand Master Heba in the past. I will give up a daughter to increase his family status, and he will strengthen everyone for a good son-in-law of mine." Sound. Because I have been in the town all year round, I have no time to take care of family affairs.

After the youngest daughter came out of the grand master's household, Li's son was also favored by the grand master. Although the pair of teenagers hadn't actually visited and hired them, under the care and care of the old grand master, they had already formed a love alliance.Due to the unfortunate death of the grand master, under the constraints of etiquette, the matter was put on hold for the time being. "

When the Cui brothers heard this, they were all stunned.Whether the thing is true or not, there is always a plausible explanation.What's more, hearing the two express their views one after another, it is clear that Weng and his son-in-law are in harmony with each other and see each other rightly. His family's idea is indeed asking for trouble.

Although Duguxin gave the two of them an explanation, he was still somewhat uncomfortable.If it wasn't for that kid being too coquettish and provocative, he wouldn't have to face such an embarrassing situation!

So after pondering for a while, he said again: "Although this is Grand Master He Ba's last wish, I don't know what kind of talent Li Boshan is. Although the young girl is not a famous lady, she is a witness of the friendship between the two families. The candidate. If the spouse is not a good spouse, I will also have the entrustment of the grand master.

He refused to speak out about this matter before, but also to examine whether this son is a good man.Speaking of this section, I also want to thank the two of you. From this incident, I have a glimpse of the nature of the Li family's children.Although his business management is still sloppy, it doesn't mean that he has nothing to offer. At least he is willing to refuse a good relationship with a famous family because of this friendship, which shows that he is also a person who values ​​affection. "

When the two brothers of the Cui family heard this, their moods that had been relieved just now became uncomfortable again. What you mean is that our eyelids are shallower than yours, right?
In your eyes, the candidate we are eager to visit is just an object that still needs to be investigated, and you are hesitant to accept it?We made a lot of efforts here, but it turned out to be just a touchstone for you to test your future son-in-law?

If you want to say that, it's really hard to continue talking.

But Dugu Xin seemed to be in a good mood, and continued to smile and said: "Leave aside this misunderstanding of misunderstanding, in fact, I also want to hear why Marquis Cui respects Li Boshan? I don't live in the customs for a long time, although I know This son has a good reputation, but he still doesn't know much about the specifics. Since Cui Hou likes this kind of thing, he must be able to give me a little explanation."

Hearing this, Cui Yanmu couldn't help but look a bit ugly, Dugu Xin watched the change in his expression, but felt happy in his heart, as expected, the best way to resolve the embarrassment in his heart is to make others more embarrassing.

"Although Li Boshan has only been in the countryside for a short time, his reputation is growing day by day, and his talent is considerable, which is also seen by the masses. He is also from a famous family in the Kanto. Yes, I will take a high look. If the Duke of Hanoi wants to ask in-depth questions, I am not the only one who can answer."

Although Cui Yanmu was not in the right position, he was already a bit disappointed and couldn't stand Dugu Xin's teasing, so his answer was quite meaningful: "Besides, this young man is alone, his talent is magnificent and appreciated by others, and he might be too light to go. This is a manic thought. The visits of the several families are sincerely loving talents and cherishing others, and I am afraid that they are also thinking of keeping sages for the country and avoiding being implicated.”

When Dugu Xin heard this, the smile on his face froze.

When Cui Yanzhen heard the words and saw this, she secretly felt something was wrong, hurriedly pulled her brother up and bid farewell to Duguxin, not daring to stay any longer.

After the two left, Dugu Xin was still getting more and more angry with his thoughts, he raised his leg and kicked the case in front of him, but suddenly remembered a lesson, he quickly called his trusted family slaves, ordered them to catch up with the Cui brothers, and warned them They must not divulge the affairs of the day to the outside world.

He rushed to the river defense office to pay his respects to Daxingtai a few days ago, and he also made a little test about Li Tai, and it could be heard that Daxingtai had quite a plan for this kid's future arrangements.

Therefore, even though Dugu had already identified Li Tai in his heart, and he knew the boy's thoughts through Cui's family affairs, but in order to avoid side effects, this matter still needs to be tacitly agreed, and it is not appropriate to leak it to the outside world too early.

Mrs. Cui was a little out of character today, and she was in a nervous mood. She had been peeking outside the hall and saw her husband sitting alone in the hall frowning, raising his hand to push back the servants and maids around him and entering the hall alone.

After entering the hall, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "This concubine made her own decision today and risked pushing the good relationship in the house to another house. Please forgive me..."

After hearing this, Dugu Xin became even more angry. He looked up at Cui Shi and sneered, "I can't blame you alone. Didn't you hear what your uncle said? That kid is from a famous family. He is the favorite of the various families, and the children of my military family are worthy of being married! Even if I force him into the household, I have to be careful that he is not easy to go, and I can't be attached to him because of love!"

When Cui heard this, the tears already in her eyes immediately rolled down, she sobbed and said tremblingly: "I know that I am wrong, but it is true that the fault does not lie with me! Where is the baby born? It is difficult for people to decide on their own, but the formation and maintenance of love is all acquired.

Although the concubine has not been with her husband for a while, once she enters the house, she is the mother of a family full of children. How can she not be qualified to hear about such a big plan as children choosing a mate?If the elders of the old family can tolerate the concubine's life, why leave home to beg the husband's master?
The husband is suspicious of the concubine, because the concubine is not careful enough, but if I still hold the opinion of the family to my heart and pass it on to my children, the concubine will dare to say that I am afraid that Li's son is really not a good match for my daughter! "

"If you don't tell me, I know how I treat Li Boshan. The house slaves know how I treat Li Boshan. If you pay attention, you should realize that I value this disciple in your heart. It's just that you have a prejudice first, thinking that my daughter is not suitable for you, so you never realized this! "

When Dugu Xin heard this, he felt even more ashamed and annoyed. He said angrily, but when he raised his eyes and saw Miao Yin standing in front of the hall, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Who told you to come here? I am sorry for your indulgence today." There is no punishment yet!"

Miaoyin heard her father's reprimand again, but she lost her previous fear. She walked straight into the hall and approached the sobbing stepmother and whispered: "Mom, you don't need to blame yourself. I don't blame you for what happened today. Ah Yes, it is really unreasonable to accuse you like this.

Could it be that when you married your aunt before, Aye didn't know your aunt's family background?At that time, these were not problems, so how could they become crimes today?I'm not ashamed of being born in this family, and now I no longer feel that I can't match Li Lang!
With support in my heart, I no longer feel terrible even when I, Aye, get angry.Because I know that there is such a support, and I will share my voice with me.If Aye is no longer close, so that his mother does not dare to refute the old family's father's statement and knowledge, it is Aye who has fallen into prestige! "

When Cui heard the little lady's explanation, she felt that although the reasoning was a bit crooked, it seemed to make sense, and she stopped crying.

But when Duguxin heard that the little lady hadn't married and left the court, he no longer had his authority as a father in his heart, so he was even more angry, and directly yelled angrily: "Even if Li Boshan is in the hall, he dare not talk to me like this , you woman dare to run rampant in my house!"

"Li Lang just respects the elders and respects the elders. He even dares to fight fierce tigers. As long as Aye is willing to be reasonable, how can he be afraid?"

Seeing her father being so angry, Miaoyin was startled for a moment, she hastily lowered her head, but couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
