Northern Dynasties

The next wedding of Li Tai's second brother, Li Chao, was much simpler than the previous wedding of Yu Wenyu.

This was not because Li Tai was mean and stingy, and he didn't want to arrange a wedding for his brother, but because his parents didn't want to make a big show, and they repeatedly told them to just tell their relatives and friends.

Although Li Chao now has an official title, he mainly owes it to his elder brother, but he still has not established his own career.Therefore, Li Tai's parents felt that there was no need to add too many human burdens to their newly married second son just for the sake of a lively scene.

After all, although these guests came to congratulate him for the sake of his father and brother, Li Chao himself was the real owner.When others congratulate you with courtesy, he will naturally give reciprocal rewards in the future. A lot of energy and money are spent on this kind of human relationship. hindrance.

Although Li Chao's wedding was arranged simply, Li Tai did not treat his direct brother lightly.He already owns a variety of properties in Guanzhong. If he shares a little bit, he can make his brothers live a prosperous life and have no worries about food and clothing. He has arranged everything from mansions in the two cities to villas in the countryside, and he also operates it for Li Chao. He was given the position of Sima of the Jingzhao Prefecture, allowing him to formally serve as an official and receive experience in government affairs.

Nowadays, most wealthy families regard living together as a beauty. For example, Li Tai and his cousins ​​Cui Qian and Cui Quan still live in a large house. The brothers are open and selfless, and their moral harmony is highly praised by the world.

But Li Tai did not ask and arrange his family members in this way. There are always differences in personality and habits between people, especially after they start a family, even the direct brothers each need a certain amount of private space. If they are forced to live together, Although they appear to be harmonious on the surface, they will inevitably need to tolerate each other behind the scenes.

For the brothers who got married, Li Tai encouraged and helped them to start their own families, live separately on weekdays, discuss things with each other, and then gather together when the holidays come, so that they can be safe and happy.

Of course, Li Tai didn't really like the custom of big families gathering together, with hundreds or even thousands of clansmen living in one place. If there were many people, they would be bold, and they would inevitably be unruly and disobedient.

Although he is now a rebellious person, people will always make progress one day. When his career reaches a higher level in the future, he can no longer continue to promote this trend.Joining a gang is not a good man, working alone is a husband!

When Li Chao first came to Kansai, Wang Yuanxin of Guangling vowed to make a good marriage for Li Tai and his brother.Now Li Chao is marrying the Yuan family's daughter, the daughter of Yuan Yu, the king of Huai'an.

The Yuan clan of this lineage is no stranger to Li Tai and his family. The sister of Wang Yuanyu of Huai'an married Cui Zhongwen of the Cui clan of Qinghe, and Cui Zhongwen was Li Tai's cousin.When the family was in Hebei, they stayed in the home of Cui Zhongwen's elder brother Cui and received a lot of care from him.

King Guangling provided Li Chao with several young girls from the Yuan family who were of the right age as candidates. After the family members came to Guanzhong, the parents decided to marry Yuan Yu's family because of the Qinghe Cui family's relationship. This marriage.

Although the glory of the Yuan clan is getting dimmer nowadays, at a time when family status is still respected, they are still the well-deserved No. [-] family with the surname Lu. This marriage is naturally a typical family marriage. They were both very satisfied with each other, so the wedding went very smoothly.

However, an unexpected incident occurred during the wedding, that is, the Taifu guards were ordered by Daxingtai to escort Xiaoer Zhu to the door to congratulate her, and sent them valuable gifts.

Not to mention everyone in the Li family, even Li Tai himself was surprised by Xiaoer Zhu's coming to congratulate him.That day, he was just perfunctory, but he didn't realize that Xiaoerzhu was not joking, and seemed to really intend to treat their family as a relative.

But the style of this incident still seems a bit strange. In the Heyin Incident caused by Er Zhurong, the Li family in Longxi can be said to be one of the families that suffered the most heavy casualties.

Although this little Erzhu is the third generation of the Erzhu family and the daughter of Erzhu Zhao, she is always a member of the Erzhu family, so the father and cousins ​​of Li Tai's family still subconsciously resist the arrival of little Erzhu, although they are not As for retaliating against a woman named Xiaoer Zhu because of this, she would never greet her with a smile.

Li Tai didn't have much feelings about this old family feud. Naturally, what was more meaningful to him was Xiaoer Zhu's current status as Yuwen Tai's concubine.

Regarding Xiaoer Zhu's show of goodwill, he even had the idea in his mind to learn about the internal personnel information of the Daxingtai family. However, he could not ignore the feelings of his family, so he did not include Xiaoer at the wedding. Mrs. Erzhu welcomed the guests into the main hall of the inner house to entertain them, but asked his wife to entertain them briefly in another room.

The other guests were sitting and chatting in the hall, but she was the only one who was arranged in a side room. Faced with such obvious differential treatment, Xiaoerzhu did not become displeased on the spot.As a woman, she has many shortcomings, but she is not narrow-minded and knows how to adjust her mentality. This is also a test brought about by the changes in her circumstances from a dignified queen to a concubine of a powerful minister.

After sitting down in the side hall, Xiaoerzhu looked at Mrs. Miaoyin with great interest, who came into the room to entertain her. Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she said with a smile: "I came here without telling you. I am tired of Mrs. Miaoyin's trouble to entertain her. I also ask my wife to forgive me."

Facing such a woman who was far more mature, charming, and experienced than herself, Miaoyin couldn't help but feel a little reserved. After hearing this, she quickly waved her hands and said: "Madam is a distinguished guest when she comes to visit, how can I be disgusted with seeing her? It's just that today there is a happy event in the house. The elders care about the newlyweds and don't want to make big things happen. As a result, the hall is narrow and the furnishings are simple. I know that my relatives and friends can make do with it, but it is really difficult to entertain the distinguished guests. I have no choice but to entertain them here. I know it is disrespectful. , I sincerely ask Madam to tolerate solemn compensation in the future!"

Every time Xiaoer Zhu said something he didn't mean, when he saw this young lady's serious excuses, she couldn't help but smile, and then said: "When people first come into the world, they are all strangers, and we only know each other. I’ve been right for a long time. My wife doesn’t treat me as a close friend, just because we don’t see each other often.

But my fate with your family has long been doomed. Entering Kansai is like a new life for me, and this new life is all facilitated by your husband, General Li.I was negligent in interviewing before, but from now on I need to reform and visit frequently, and please don't get tired of my frequent visits. "

When Miaoyin heard these words, she felt unhappy in her heart. Although she was not a very scheming person, she could tell by intuition that there was something different in Zhu's words. After pondering for a while, she continued Said: "Although I am a foolish woman in the household, I know that my husband is diligent in his work, so there are many people who return home, and there are also those who are as grateful as my wife. But in fact, my husband is just a loyal person, and the one who can give people new life is Yu Wentai. Master, Madam is willing to condescend to visit, and concubine is of course welcome, but she absolutely dare not be proud of the distinguished guest because of the husband's duty."

When Xiaoerzhu heard Madam Miaoyin's reply, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a while, she said with emotion: "General Li's style is the most beautiful in the world. Before visiting, I was quite impressed. I'm curious about which beautiful lady can be worthy of such a beloved man? Now that I'm talking to the lady, I realize that a perfect match is made by nature and no one can compete with me. My lady's nature and beauty are really worthy of such a good match that is envied by everyone."

When Miaoyin heard this, she was very proud in her heart. Although she didn't say it, her attitude towards Xiaoerzhu was somewhat kind.

Xiao Erzhu stayed here for half an hour, chatting with Miaoyin for a long time, and then got up to say goodbye and left. Miaoyin returned after sending the gift out, helping her aunt entertain the other guests and women.

As for Li Tai, of course he greeted relatives, friends and guests in the front hall.The husband and wife were both busy until late at night, and then came to the side room of the new house to take a rest.

Li Tai smelled of alcohol. After he sat down, the waiter offered him a drink to sober up. Fang took a few sips. The fragrant breeze blew up from behind. Miaoyin rushed forward and hooked her husband's shoulders with her hands, and her delicate body hung on her. The gentle fragrance on her back showed a hint of exhaustion, and then she said in a low voice: "Mrs. Narzhu is not a good person. She keeps saying that her husband will give her a new life, but she is just pretending to be weak and flattering the man, which makes people feel high-spirited. Help her! But my husband is a majestic man and has a great reputation in the world, so how could he be bewitched by her! Do you think what I said is right? "

Li Tai couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his wife was so shrewd, so he smiled and said: "When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. If she really meant what she said, why didn't she visit me attentively before?" All the behavior I am doing now is just because I am greedy for my new power. My wife is very insightful, and she is really my good wife!"

Miaoyin also smiled when she heard this, and immediately said, "Then if she comes to visit me again in the future, I won't be as polite to her as before!"

"That's not necessary. There won't be many opportunities to meet each other."

After hearing this, Li Tai shook his head, pulled the lady to him, and then said: "I am going to take my wife with me when I return to town the next day. Would you like to see the customs of Jingxiang?"

"Really? Really! If you are willing, how can you not be willing?"

When the young lady heard this, her eyes widened immediately. After confirming it again in disbelief, she immediately couldn't help but cheered and danced, not knowing how to express her excitement, and ran away from the room. After two laps, he got back into Li Tai's arms, held Fulang's cheek and gnawed a few mouthfuls.

After the excitement calmed down a little, she felt shy again, shrank into Li Tai's arms and whispered softly: "The smell of alcohol on my husband's body has made me drunk..." Xuanji closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. stand up.

Li Tai lowered his eyes to look at the pretty and blushing face in his arms, stretched out his fingers to touch the long and gently trembling eyelashes, and when the little lady was tickled and smiled, he lowered his head and kissed her lips and teeth.
