After a long delay on the road, when Li Xu rushed to the wine table panting, everyone was already in a hurry, and when they saw him finally enter the door, they immediately surrounded him, and blamed him: "You kid, you just became a captain, so you dare to hold it up." Are you itching your skin today? ”

"Don't blame the brothers, I've been here a long time ago, I met a nasty guy on the road, and I was delayed by him, today the younger brother admits punishment and accepts the punishment!" Li Xu pretended to be scared, and bowed his hands with a bitter face, he was the youngest, of course, everyone couldn't really punish him. casually counted a few words, smiled and pulled him into a seat.

Huaiyuan Town is close to Hu Jing, and ordinary people sit on Hu stools and surround the table when they eat. The head of the household's house is not a restaurant, so everyone had to follow the local customs and set up three square tables in the group. In this way, the relationship between each other is more intimate than when each person sits down and drinks in order.

The host had long known that the soldiers and uncles borrowed the house and the stove today in order to set up an official banquet for Liu and Li, so they were extremely careful in advance. Later, I learned from the big mouths of Wang Yuantong and others that Liu and Li, who had rested at their own house, were appointed generals and captains by the emperor's imperial mouth today. The head of the house gave the order, and several women in each room did their best to drink and eat. Therefore, although this meal of official wine was set up in a shabby, without orchestral cheering and without the accompaniment of maikos, it made everyone smile.

After three rounds of drinking, congratulations and thanks, everyone began to challenge each other with wine bowls. Liu Hongji has just been added to the rank of general of the chariot cavalry, and according to the convention, the military department will ask him to recommend some capable subordinates. The generals in the grain protection army have a good relationship with him, so they naturally have the opportunity to be promoted. Who doesn't want to fight for this kind of position that doesn't have to go to the front line to take risks, and the boss is considerate and generous. Everyone had their own small calculations in their hearts, politely and touting, and after a while, the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax.

"Xuzi, you're lucky!" Qi Poning found Li Xu with a wine bowl, touched the bowl with Li Xu with a big grin, and said, "In five months, I have been promoted from the team to the captain, brother, it is the first time I have seen someone promoted so quickly." What kind of foolish person is stopping you tonight, it can't be that someone has taken a fancy to you, so let's go to Gola to be my son-in-law!"

"Makes sense, makes sense!" The room was full of laughter, and the sound shook the window paper.

Li Xu's character Zhong Jian, who already has a formal official position, should logically be called Zhong Jian's virtuous brother. But he is young and easy-going, so Qi Poning prefers to call him Xuzi to show his closeness. usually makes some innocuous jokes, and likes to start with him. It's just that Lao Qi's joke this time is obviously a little too clever, and Li Xu doesn't understand what makes it funny. Seeing that everyone was out of breath laughing, he was curious, pulled Qi Poning, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qi, is there really a custom of robbing a son-in-law in Huaiyuan?"

+Pu" Wang Yuantong just drank half a bowl of wine in his mouth and immediately sprayed it to the ground, coughing loudly, while laughing: "I cough cough, look, almost!" Poor, cough cough, not much, our Xu Zi age, cough cough, appearance, cough cough"

Everyone leaned back and fell back with laughter, and almost didn't lift the roof. After laughing enough, he told Li Xu about the allusion to his son-in-law.

It turned out that since the Wei and Jin dynasties, large families have married each other. The real famous families would never marry ordinary people. Even if ordinary people are rich from all walks of life, with mountains of gold and jade, and they are so poor that they have nowhere to stand after the famous, and they are in the dilemma of selling houses and land, the former is not qualified to deal with the latter.

However, the first emperor of this dynasty decided to open the imperial examination, and the selection of talents did not ask about their background. Therefore, many children of poor families also have the opportunity to enter the court as officials and become new scholars in one fell swoop. In order to improve the status of the family faster, some nouveau riche came up with a strange trick and chose a young talent as a son-in-law. Every time there is a scientific expedition in the capital, they go to the place where the list is released. If there are poor teenagers in high school and they have not yet decided to marry, they will do everything possible to rush home and lock them up in their daughter's boudoir. After one night, the raw rice is cooked and the rice is ripe, and high school students can't get married if they want to. In this way, the poor boy got his wife and the funds sent to him in the officialdom in the future, and the wealthy poor family also had the opportunity to squeeze into the ranks of the wealthy families.

"It's a joke, I haven't seen anyone really do this. If you don't like this, it is estimated that Ziying is going to scold everyone for being hypocritical again!" Qi Poning finished telling the allusion, looked at Qin Ziying, who was silent on the side, and explained with a smile.

"It was the little brother who was in a hurry that day, and you brothers are not strange. In fact, who doesn't want their family to prosper? If it weren't for this, who would still study hard in the cold window, and who would still go into battle to fight!" Qin Ziying Shanshan smiled and replied. A large room full of people, except for the samurai, everyone else has a little background. When she was sober-minded, Qin Ziying didn't want to offend her friends because of her happiness.

"In fact, the ups and downs of a family are not a matter of an eye. Who has seen the temple of immortality! However, Xuzi is a young man, and it is estimated that there will not be too few people who take a fancy to him!" Liu Hongji was afraid that everyone would arouse Qin Ziying's sadness, so he picked up the wine bowl and joined the ridicule team with a smile.

Hearing Liu Hongji say this, everyone's interest was even higher, and they asked Li Xu to honestly explain who stopped him on the road. Li Xu was forced to be helpless, so he had to tell the truth about meeting Yu Wenshi and being pulled by him.

"Lord Yuwen is very interested in talking, I can't afford to provoke him, so I have to leave my ears to listen to his lectures!" Li Xu shook his head and reported to everyone with a wry smile. As for Yu Wenshi and what he said, he covered it up in his jokes.

"It turned out that he was dragged away by His Majesty the Emperor's son-in-law, not by someone to be his son-in-law!" Wang Yuantong has always had nothing to hide when he speaks, even more so after drinking. ridiculed the identity of Yuwen Shiji a few words, and asked with a smile: "His Yuwen family is the first family in this dynasty, does he have a daughter to be in the boudoir?"

"Estimated, quite a few. The word says that the Lord has always been diligent in sowing seeds!" Someone on the side said yes in a hurry. As a member of the Grain Guard, anyone who has experienced the inexplicable attack and brawl will not have much affection for the Yuwen family.

"It's not good, Xuzi has a hard time now. It is said that the men of the Yuwen family have always been born with a woman's appearance, and their minds are as difficult to figure out as women. But the woman of their family, hehe, just fell with the man!"

"Poor, pitiful, poor Captain Li's young talent!" Everyone looked at Li Xu, and their faces were full of pity. It seems that he has become a lamb into the tiger's mouth, so he will wait for the big tiger of the Yuwen family to choose the right time to speak. It wasn't until Li Xu felt furious that he turned around noisily and looked for other happy topics.

The topic at the wine table has always been fixed in one place, and everyone is happy, so forget it. But Li Xu was inadvertently said about his heart, and he lacked interest, and after touching a few bowls of sprinkling, he quietly slipped back to his seat.

"You'd better be careful, the people of the Yuwen family have always been weird!" Seeing that everyone's attention had shifted elsewhere, Qin Ziying secretly pulled Li Xu under the table and whispered.

"Does his family like to be embarrassed?" Li Xu thought about it and quietly asked for advice, his hometown of Yi County is remote, the folk customs are relatively simple, and few people talk about the stories within the imperial court. Therefore, Li Xu has very little knowledge of officialdom, and it can even be said that it is basically a blank. And Yuwen Tuji's strange performance tonight is very suspicious. It is impossible to say that he is completely malicious, but there is no shortage of bad advice in his words. said that he was a kind reminder, but Li Xu couldn't see where his motive was?

"Every family will do anything for their own benefit. Yuwen's family is big and has a lot of things, so his style of doing things is more ruthless. Other families are small and have few things to fight for, so they look a little kind on the surface. In my bones, in fact, I am all the way to the goods!" Qin Ziying looked around and no one paid attention to himself and Li Xu, and concluded in an extremely low voice.

Since his fiancée was forced to run away from home by the two old guys, Yu Wenshu and Mai Tiezhu, Qin Ziying's personality began to become extreme, and her words were extremely sharp. Li Xu always practiced martial arts with him, and knew that he was in a depressed mood, so he didn't mind being hurt by his words occasionally. But Qin Ziying's evaluation of some of the family's behaviors is three points in Li Xu's eyes.

"Is the Yuwen family very big?" Li Xu poured a bowl of wine for Qin Ziying and asked in a low voice.

Liu Hongji went to another table to thank the brothers, and the excitement moved with him to another table. Li Xu had something in his heart, Qin Ziying was in a bad mood, and the two happened to sit together and communicate secretly.

"Big, to say big, it can be called the legacy of the royal family of the previous dynasty. At the alternation of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty, he contributed to the first emperor and killed his own people as a pouch. Therefore, it was specially left by the first emperor to guard the incense of Yuwen's family. In today's sainthood, because of his meritorious counterinsurgency, he has a blessed child, a general in the family, and a lot of Shangshu! In fact, he is a slave herding sheep, and he has only been rising for a few days......" Qin Ziying introduced the background of the Yuwen family to Li Xu in extremely short and harsh words, and tried his best to be sarcastic.

Yuwenshu's surname is Po Yetou, and he is a slave of the Xianbei Ai Dou returning home. When Emperor Wei Xiaowen innovated, all the Xianbei people changed their surnames to Han. The owner of the broken field changed his family name to Yuwen, and as a slave, he had to follow. Later, the ancestors of the Yuwen family had a unique vision at the turn of dynasties and slowly established their own families. In the generation of Yu Wenshu's father, Yu Wensheng, he had become a general of the Zhu State in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In the first year of the emperor's opening, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, and Zen let the society be in the Great Sui. There are many children of the Yuwen family who do not know the current affairs and raise troops to rebel. The young man who was a fan of words and literature joined the army, killed all his fellow clansmen, made contributions to the Great Sui Emperor, and was exceptionally promoted to Shangzhu State and praised the country.

Later, in the war of the Great Sui to cleanse the south of the Yangtze River and pacify the Western Regions, Yuwenshu contributed a lot of credit. Of course, the greatest credit is to cultivate a handsome and dashing son, Yu Wenshi, and form a family with the current emperor.

"I'm unlucky!" After listening to the origin of the Yuwen family, Li Xu muttered in a low voice. Thinking that he had just come out of his head and got into such a big trouble, he felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Thinking about Yu Wenshi and the comments about Tang Gong Li Yuan being deliberately wooed and not treating each other sincerely, his mood was even more depressed, and even the wine he drank in his mouth suddenly turned bitter.

Qin Ziying saw Li Xu crying with a sad face, thinking that he was scared in his heart, thought about it carefully, and comforted him in a low voice: "But you don't have to worry, with your righteous performance on the Dianjiang stage today, Tang Gong will definitely miss your love in his heart." Even if the Yuwen family can't win over and has the heart to embarrass you, with Tang Gong here, they also need to consider it carefully!"

"Righteousness?" Li Xu asked with some suspicion. During the day, he made a mistake in answering His Majesty the Emperor's question on the platform, which caused Tang Gong to hurriedly explain that he did not deliberately take care of his children and nephews. Such a foolish behavior, Tang Gong is generous if he doesn't care about himself, how can he think that he is righteous?

"If I were you, when the emperor asked about that sentence, the answer should be 'I didn't meet Tang Gong before I came to Huaiyuan, and I only knew that I was of the same clan when I arrived here, and I didn't think I was his son and nephew. When you answer like that, you think you are Tang Gong's confidant. It swept away the excitement of many people, but it was also unpredictable. At that time, in order to avoid the suspicion of nepotism, Tang Gong must have defended himself with the emperor on the surface. In private, he will feel that you know how to repay your kindness and will not be moved by the wealth in front of you. Afterwards, he will naturally think of you higher. Take a step back, even if he doesn't admit your love today, if others know that you are Tang Gong's henchman and still want to harm you, it is tantamount to directly provoking his Li family, and he can't help but not interfere!"

"Ahh Li Xu opened his mouth wide, and half a piece of chicken was stuffed in his throat, unable to swallow or spit out. After listening to Qin Ziying's analysis, he finally understood that answering the emperor's question involved so many gains and losses. Since he is already a descendant of the Li family in the eyes of others, it is no wonder that Yu Wenshi and he made a special trip to the door to sow discord.

Look at Liu Hongji, who is holding a wine bowl and drinking with the brothers on the table next to him, look at Zhou Wenyuan, who seems to be drunk but not drunk, but his eyes are abnormally bright, and then look at Qin Ziying next to him who seriously analyzes the situation for himself. He suddenly found that there was so much knowledge about being a human being, which was far higher than the books he had memorized since he was a child.

"Look at those families, they are all polite on the surface, but they are actually very dirty in their bones." Qin Ziying's wine was a little high, lying on Li Xu's shoulder, muttering vaguely, "But this world is for them", he looked at Liu Hongji, who was surrounded by the stars in the center, and continued to muttered in Li Xu's ear: "If you want to do something serious, you either attach yourself to a family, or build a family by yourself, otherwise there is nowhere to start!"

"The most proud thing in this life is that the old man has established a family by himself, and he can leave a few generations of wealth to you!." In the camp of the Baili Company, the old general Mai Tiezhu looked at his three sons and said with a smile. During the day, he was inspected by the emperor, and he suffered from some cold, and when he returned to the camp at night, he felt a little astringent. Lang Zhong and his sons advised him not to fight for the Liao Crossing again, and the old general smiled and declined these kind suggestions.

At that time, the Great Chen Empire was wiped out, and hundreds of people died by sword soldiers. And those big families can always save a part of it and seek wealth in the new court.

It is always ordinary people who are unlucky, and the more powerful the family, the easier it is to survive the wind and rain. General Mai smiled and looked through the night, as if he saw himself yesterday again.

Establish and improve a family by yourself as a novice, the Mai family, this family is no worse than any century-old family, life can be like this, it is enough!
