After He Batsheng's letters were dispersed, in addition to the He Batwei brothers who were like frightened birds, the first one to come to Shangyuanzhuang was actually Yuwen Dao, who was the assassin of Yongzhou at the time.

When Li Tai heard the report of the villagers, he couldn't help but be stunned, how could this Yuwen Dao not be regarded as He Batsheng's cronies, right?

But after a little thought, he understood. Even the He Batwin brothers were busy running over after hearing the news, and Daxing Taiyu Wentai couldn't be curious about what He Batsheng was doing?

Although most of the generals who had a subordinate relationship with He Batsheng, such as Dugu Xin, were in remote places, the dozen letters sent by He Batsheng were always left in Huazhou or Chang'an.

It has been ten days since the first letter was sent, but no one has ever come to see him with a letter, and Li Tai has always felt a little strange.

Now that Director Yuwen is visiting, he can be regarded as feeling the taste, and everyone is looking at the big xingtai to act. Daxingtai did not say anything about this, and He Batsheng's old people naturally did not dare to rush to see him.

Although Li Tai didn't have much hope for this from the beginning, after thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel that the appeal of He Batsheng, including the entire He Bat's family, in this Western Wei court was already very weak.

As the saying goes, the first half of the life looks at the father and respects the son, and the second half of the life looks at the son and respects the father, and it is a certainty that there will be no successor to the Heba family. Even if there is any friendship to be traced in the past, everyone must be based on reality now.

Yuwen Dao is not alone, and there are several courtiers and subordinate officials of the overlord who accompanied him, as well as more than 50 slaves and maids, and two carts. Li Tai's eldest cousin, Cui Qian, is also among them.

When Li Taixing came out of the manor to greet him, Cui Qian took the initiative to step forward and introduce the visitors to him.

Among the people who visited, some Li Tai had heard it, and some were not very impressed, and his main attention was still focused on Yuwendao.

Although Yuwen Dao and Yuwen Hu are brothers, the age gap is not too big, but the two brothers are very different in appearance and temperament.

Yuwen Hu's eyebrows shrugged, his eyes were a little sharp, even if he didn't like it or was angry, when he stared at something, it made people wonder if this guy was looking for fault.

But Yuwendao looks a little ordinary, with no obvious physical features, nor an unforgettable majesty at first sight. If it weren't for being surrounded by the crowd and saying that he was an inconsequential passer-by, Li Tai also believed it, in short, he couldn't see any edges and corners at a glance.

Of course, Yuwen Dao is not an insignificant person, he is now the second person in the Yuwen family, and his power and prestige have reached the level of equality with those old military leaders in Beizhen.

"The outer village is noisy, Donggu has another business, the Taishi is recuperating there, and I will lead Zhang Wugong and the princes to see him."

Li Tai looked at Yuwendao, and found that he was also a little scrupulous about himself, although the other party did not have any arrogance, after all, he still felt a little cramped, so he stretched out his arm as an invitation.

Yuwen guided the horse slowly, looked at the manor a little, and said like other people who came here for the first time: "I remember that Li Sanqi only entered the township last year, and the renovation of this garden industry has been so impressive, it can be seen that the talent is good!" ”

"The horses are blunt, staggering, and dare not praise their deeds. Only enjoy the grace of Daxingtai Xing in governing the country, when the rain and dew are prepared, and the mulberry is smooth, then they can be relied on for food and clothing. ”

Li Tai dared to boast about his good business skills in front of Yuwenhu, but in front of Yuwendao, he was much more honest and didn't dare to show off.

Director Yuwen smiled after hearing this, and took a closer look at the manor during the trip, especially the large warehouses and the workshop surrounded by high walls.

The group bypassed the slope and came to the valley, and a number of phoenix boys were already waiting in front of the villa with He Batsheng in their arms.

Seeing this, Yuwen Dao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked forward, held He Batsheng's arm with both hands and said: "The mountain breeze is cool, but the master can sit in the hall and wait for the boy to worship." ”

"Old and stubborn, but I don't like to show people!"

He Batsheng laughed lightly, first bowed his head to Yuwen Dao, turned his eyes to the people behind, and when he saw Cui Qian, his eyes paused, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Shixun, you are here, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Cui Qian has his own indelible temperament of joy and anger, but when he saw He Batsheng's appearance and heard him say this, a trace of pathos flashed in his expression, and he bowed his hand and bowed deeply: "Master, the world is impermanent, only take care of yourself!" ”

After He Batsheng greeted several people one by one, he waited until Li Tai stepped in to help him, and then turned around and walked to the hall, and said to Cui Qian with a smile as he walked: "This young relative of your family is really a good young man who is grateful and knowledgeable!" Last year, I visited a number of Huibao camps and saw that he was lonely and weak, so I picked him up and gave him cover.

At that time, I didn't have a long-term plan, and I didn't want to change my mind, so I benefited a lot. The family has changed so far, and it is not for this young flu to support and comfort this old man, I am afraid that there is no time for you to meet today! ”

When Yuwen Dao heard this, he glanced at Li Tai deeply, and Cui Qian next to him hurriedly said: "Ah Pan is a young talent in the household who was carefully raised by my uncle's family, and in the early years, my brother was a master in the world, and I didn't have the opportunity to take care of his growth. Knowing right from wrong, sensitive to kindness and righteousness, not an arrogant and arrogant inferior talent. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little blushing when he heard the two of them sing and praise himself in harmony, so he also took out twelve points of courtesy, and swept aside with his toes when he saw any stones and dead branches on the road.

When everyone entered the hall, the visitors couldn't help but be curious about the ingenious layout of this villa, and even Yuwen Dao looked at it a few times before remembering the condolence letter that asked the entourage to present the Daxingtai.

Yu Wentai cared for this ominous Wuchuan big brother in his later years, and rewarded fifty male and female slaves and maids to serve and take medicine, as well as a lot of money and food materials.

Li Tai also deliberately took the reward list and read it carefully, and found that there was nothing to avoid eating for qi diseases, so he felt a little relieved. It's not that he has a conspiracy theory, it's just that he was influenced by the romance of the wild history of later generations, and he felt that the king would always take advantage of the hero's illness to persuade him to kill, but obviously Yuwentai didn't mean this.

But even so, the scene of the meeting is inevitably awkward.

After a few words of condolences on behalf of Daxingtai, Yuwendao stopped talking, as if he wanted to leave time for others to talk. But he's such a big living person sitting here, and it's not easy for everyone to grasp the scale of dialogue, and it doesn't seem to be appropriate to be too close or too distant.

So the topic could only revolve around what to eat today and what to eat tomorrow, Li Tai stood next to him and poured into a report on the name of the dish, introducing He Batsheng's recent diet.

Everyone nodded with satisfaction when they heard that the Taishi was still eating and drinking in an orderly manner every day. Although I was also a little curious about what the nouns of those dishes Li Tai said, it was obviously not good to ask carefully at this time.

Li Tai chatted with everyone awkwardly, and when he looked at the sky, he said that he wanted to prepare a meal, but when he walked out of the hall, he didn't see these people getting up and saying goodbye, it seemed that he had made up his mind to eat a big meal.

So he could only go into the kitchen and order the food and drink of these people, thinking about the awkward atmosphere in the hall, he didn't think much about going back.

Of course, it was also because the personnel of this trip did not particularly attract him, in addition to Yuwendao and his eldest cousin Cui Qian, there was also Hou Mo Chen Chong's younger brother Hou Mo Chen Kai, and Changsun Shaoyuan, the son of Changsun Zhi, who had a slight impression, and several other visitors were a little unfamiliar.

Li Tai was wandering back and forth outside the hall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw several visitors coming out one after another, nodded to Li Tai, and wandered around the valley villa with great interest.

Cui Qian also walked out, raised his hand and beckoned to Li Tai, and then walked to the pavilion in the peach forest behind the villa.

"Zhang Wugong wants to talk to the Taishi in detail, so let's avoid it first."

Cui Qian first explained, and then pointed to the orchard that was already fragrant with peaches and plums and said with a smile: "Living in Jingyi, the noise is disturbing. Or Ah Pan, you are smart, and you cleverly buy a house in this quiet place in the countryside, which makes people reluctant to leave. ”

"If my cousin likes the scenery here, there are still guest houses in my garden."

Li Tai first laughed, and then leaned closer and said, "Cousin, do you know why Zhang Wugong wants to ...... Could it be that Daxingtai doesn't like the Taishi to make noise again? ”

"How can you be happy? It's just that Taishi Lao Jing is here, even if he is a little willful, he is also within the tolerance of human feelings. ”

Cui Qian first sighed, and then said to Li Tai: "Ah Pan, the Taishi really takes care of you!" He is not afraid of his own disgust, and he will pave the way for you. But whether it's a help or a nuisance is still up to you! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Zhang Wugong is also quite concerned about you, and even deliberately detoured from the Shangyuan North Canal to climb the plateau, and summoned villagers along the way to inquire about the details of the township canal, and praised that there is no shortage of people in the township who have formed alliances, but there are many people like you who have refined their methods."

Speaking of this, Cui Qian asked again: "Ah Pan, do you want to take office in the dynasty?" Since the imperial court hunted in the west, the canonical system has been wild, and the Westerners have sloppy academics, which are far inferior to my Shandong people. You are famous, smart and knowledgeable, if you can enter the court to learn etiquette and policy, you will become a Fang family within 20 years! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he shook his head again and again without thinking about it: "The major events of the canon, the law of the past and the present, the table of eternity, how can the children of the people be competent!" I am raising an obscure township today, or I can also get the praise of Xiuzhu, once I enter the court, it will be destroyed by the wind, and I will laugh all year round! ”

Formulating the rules and etiquette of a dynasty is definitely an honor for the family of the world, but it is not the slightest temptation for Li Tai, even if it can become a ritual system for everyone and a Confucian master in the future, and arrange an enthronement ceremony for Yang Jian?

Hearing Li Tai's refusal, Cui Qian also laughed: "It's indeed a little delusional, but it's rare for you to have such self-knowledge." The former Daxingtai summoned you but did not refute it, I thought you were arrogant and did not go to Taiwan, but now it seems that you are too worried.

Fang Jin's east and west are gradually in a state of confrontation, and the old disciples of Daxingtai are gradually withering, and the cultivation of morale is already a top priority. Ah Pan, you are heading west at this time, at such an age, it is the right time. Be alert and don't follow the old ways. ”

Li Tai was also a little happy after hearing this, he was also worried that he would sometimes seem deviant in doing things, and this eldest cousin actually persuaded him to know the current affairs as Junjie.

But soon he understood why Cui Qian said this: "Yongzhou Zheng Daoyong visited the house before, and what he said was mostly related to Apan's family affairs, whether to marry or not. I've had some discussion, and I think I still need to tell you. ”
