Northern Dynasties

Chapter 85
On the path between slopes that had just been leveled, Li Tai led the way in front, followed by He Basheng's chariot.

The cinder-paved road made a rustling sound when stepped on, and He Basheng on the chariot looked like a curious old baby, looking at the road while looking left and right in the valley.

When he turned around the hillside and saw the almost completed villa, He Basheng's much thinner face suddenly showed a smile: "This is the residence you prepared for me, Ah Pan? It's really grand, how much material did you use?"

"The new house has just been built, and it will be put away for a few days. I will take my uncle to have a look first, to show that I am a believer. But even if the uncle does not come, this villa will still be built, and the west slope is getting more and more noisy. Embrace the mountains and springs, cultivate your body and mind.”

Li Tai turned his head to He Basheng and said with a smile, when the chariot entered, he pointed to each house and introduced to He Basheng.

He Basheng walked tremblingly into the room with the support of his servants, and felt the heat rushing towards his face when he entered the room. Although the doors and windows of the room were open, the air flowing in was as warm as spring, and the cold mountain wind blowing in made him feel warm. warm up.

"It's so extravagant to even lay an earth dragon!"

He Basheng had also seen the world, and when he noticed the difference in room temperature, he shook his head and sighed.

"It was built with a new method, and the cost is not much."

After Li Tai heard the words, he explained a few words with a smile, and took He Basheng to the boiler room next to him. The charcoal fire in the boiler was booming. The iron pot with rough and rough surface, hot water boiling in the iron pot.

Li Tai knew his own family affairs, but it was only on the surface, so of course he was not willing to consume charcoal continuously just for heating.

Right now, this small boiler room is also used for oil processing. After he officially moves in, he plans to transform it into a food processing workshop to make some novel meals for his own use or as a gift.

After leading He Basheng to visit the boiler room, Li Tai took him to the bedroom prepared for him. First, he walked to a bathtub surrounded by wooden boards. hot water.

"Uncle stays at home, so he can take a bath in the room without labor."

Li Tai watched as He Basheng leaned close to the pottery pipe and touched it again and again, and immediately pulled him onto the kang at the foot of the bed, pulled out the baffle on the top of the kang, fiddled with it, patted the edge of the kang and smiled at He Basheng : "Uncle came to try it out on the couch. Last year, every household in my village built this good tool for overwintering. It's not cold at night, but it's just tempting to lie down."

After He Basheng heard the words, he also climbed onto the couch and sat down. He didn't feel much at first, but felt that the surface of the kang was a little hard. After a while, his expression gradually changed, and he touched the surface of the kang and said in surprise: "It's warm, it's so warm." Yes! This is connecting the earth dragon to the soil enclosure, although it is not difficult, it also takes a lot of ingenuity!"

As he said this, he looked at the still plain room again, with satisfaction in his eyes: "A Pan, you are so hardworking, you really want to move in soon!"

When Li Tai led He Basheng to visit the villa, He Bajing was sullenly ordering the servants to decorate He Basheng's temporary residence in the villa.

He was naturally not happy to let his uncle come and live here, but He Basheng's own stubborn attitude, coupled with Li Tai's previous soft-but-hard admonition, also made the brothers realize that their previous actions were inappropriate. After a while, he was willing to give in.

In the manor, the cousins ​​Yu Wenhu and He Lanxiang wandered around, curious about the layout of the manor.

"I just asked the servants of the manor. Li Boshan only entered this residence in the early summer of last year. At that time, this place was just a barren hill. If you don't know the past and just look at the landscape of the garden industry, you can't imagine that it took less than a year. cause."

Yu Wenhu sighed while enjoying the tour. Seeing the well-dressed and smiling people in the past village, he couldn't help being more interested in the owner of the manor: "This Li Boshan is indeed a strange person. If he is just a poor man named Wu Dingzhuang , I still suspect that he is scheming, but even the old, disabled, women and children are caring and thoughtful, and they don't seem to be deep in the city. Kansai's material resources are difficult, and no one's time for seeking merit and power will be wasted like this! "

He Lanxiang was a young man, taller than Yu Wenhu, and he was He Basheng's nephew. When he visited his doctor, he learned that He Basheng was going to the countryside, so he accompanied his cousin Yu Wenhu to see him off.

Hearing Yu Wenhu's words, He Lanxiang laughed and said, "I'm not familiar with this Li Boshan, but both Daxingtai and Bodhisattva have a good opinion of him. The grand master is so old and sick, and he still needs to be entrusted to him. It is really something extraordinary, and it is worth getting close to your cousin.

But I don't think it's necessary to think too deeply about people. After all, he is just a teenager.Talents are there, but they are less experienced in the world, and they are fierce when things happen, and they hope that the masses will be happy. This is also human nature. "

Yu Wenhu laughed dumbfounded after hearing the words, and sighed after a while: "It wasn't Sheng Le who reminded me, I really forgot this son's age! Alas, the old soldiers are used to being young and frivolous. You and I are in our prime. At the age of self-reliance, people only look up to others and reflect on others, and I don’t know when I will be able to express myself and take charge of people’s affairs!"

Speaking of this, he said with anticipation: "The characters in Kansai are sloppy and rare. This Li Bo is a newcomer to Shandong Province and has a single tooth. He is just suitable for you and me to plan! I was in Jingyuan before. I have also tried to look at it, and I am not a frivolous and difficult object, if I can take him in the curtain, it will be a great joy indeed!"

Yu Wenhu's actual age is not young, and he is not idle after entering the customs. Whether he is at home or an official, he has his own scale and performance.

But because of Beizhen's ethos of ranking seniority, he always felt that he was inferior among those Beizhen warriors.

Including his own brother Yu Wendao, who is only two years older than him, but he followed his uncle into the customs from the beginning, and the relationship between them became closer, so that Yu Wenhu was a little restrained when facing his brother, and did not dare to speak and act recklessly .

But in his heart, he was very envious of his brother and uncle getting along with each other informally, and having equal friendship with those Beizhen warriors.

He is also in his early thirties, and he is brave in battle, but his uncle still seems to think that he is a little old, and it is really related to the major issues of his family and country, so he seldom asks his opinions.

Born in such a family, Yu Wenhu certainly hoped to be able to do something of his own, so when he saw Li Tai, who was far inferior to him in age and prestige, but whose talent was recognized by his uncle and elder brother, he felt a strong desire to attract him.

The two toured the manor, occasionally asked the people who passed by near the left, and learned that Li Tai not only built the manor from nothing in the past half a year, but also created many lucrative industries, and they became friends. Li Tai's thoughts became more eager.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. In Jingyuan, I said before that I would present a good bow to Li Boshan when we meet next time, but I completely forgot afterwards. It will be embarrassing to meet later without a gift!"

On the way back to the main hall of the manor, Yu Wenhu suddenly slapped his forehead and said with some annoyance.

After He Lanxiang heard the words, he said with a smile: "Cousin, you cherish those bows, and Bo Juluo and I want to enjoy them, but you are not willing to give them to a stranger?"

"Good weapons are easy to find, but talents are hard to come by! Naturally, you will not be far away from me because of things, but with this Li Boshan, you want to renew your friendship. It is always bad to break trust with others."

Yu Wenhu waved his hand and sighed, turned his gaze, and pulled out a bow from the back of his entourage, held it in his hand for a while to draw, and said with a smile: "Let's make up the number first, it's better than missing the appointment. If he accepts it without trial, it will be It is worthy of deep friendship. If you have hidden grudges, you are just a layman who is heavy and unfeeling, you can use it, but it is not worth treating with care."

He Lanxiang laughed out loud when he heard this, and praised Yu Wenhu for his quick wit.

At this time, it was already evening, and several Feng, who were carrying a sackcloth schoolbag across their shoulders, played out of the school with a few schoolchildren they had met recently. When they saw Yu Wenhu and He Lanxiang in the distance, they hurriedly waved goodbye to the students and stepped forward. He trotted over, bowed to the two of them and said, "Boy, I have seen Lord Shuichi and Lord Fuyi."

"Are you, the boy Bodhidharma from the Changle family?"

When the two looked down and saw several phoenixes, they were stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, Yu Wenhu asked curiously, "Why are you at Li Bo's villa? Did you come with your father?"

Several phoenixes explained the fact that she was arranged by her father to study here. After hearing this, Yu Wenhu was thoughtful again, and while walking, she lowered her head and wiped off the stains on the bow.

Several people returned to the main hall of the manor, and Li Tai also accompanied He Basheng back, and sat down in the hall to exchange greetings.

Yu Wenhu presented the bow to Li Tai at the table. Li Tai thought he was just talking about it, but he didn't expect to remember it, so he quickly took it with both hands and thanked him solemnly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Tai planned to entertain a few people, but He Bajing was already in a bad mood and refused to stay for dinner, so Yu Wenhu and He Lanxiang could only get up and say goodbye, and return before it was completely dark Washington State.

After Li Tai sent them away, when he returned, he saw several Fengs sitting beside the case carefully looking at the bow presented by Yu Wenhu, and said with a smile, "Bodhidharma is also interested in martial arts? Let the Zhuang people give it to me tomorrow." You make a small bow, let's go hunting on the hill."

"Yeah!"

Several phoenixes nodded and smiled, then pointed to the bow and whispered: "Mr. Shuichi is lying. I saw that he asked Buqu for this bow. It is just a utensil for ordinary use, not a treasure as he said."

Li Tai is not an idiot either, as soon as he touched his hands, he noticed that Yu Wenhu was perfunctory, but he was too calculating, which made him embarrassed. After hearing the words, he patted Feng Xiaofeng's head and smiled: "Maybe you are wrong, it's a small matter, not enough hang your teeth."

Young Master Dou Feng didn't change anything and was still waiting to argue, but He Basheng threw an object at the table, pointed to Dou Feng and said, "Boy, pick it up for me."

While several phoenixes were being walked away like puppies, He Basheng said to Li Tai again: "Regardless of whether the material is precious or not, it is better to keep it properly. Yuwen Sabao is not as generous as his father, so it may not be happy to respect him. If you are evil, you will hate it, and when you associate with him, be careful."
