Dugu Xin is wearing a dark hakama inside and a big fur robe on the outside, but he is still as graceful as ever, no matter where he is, he will become the focus of attention, which makes people feel dwarfed.

Putting aside the wine-stained soup stained on his robe and being slightly embarrassed, Li Tai was the only one in the room who could be equal to Dugu Xin in terms of demeanor. But he didn't feel proud of it at this time, but hoped that he would be ordinary and not be noticed by Dugu Xin.

Dugu Xin did not pay more attention to Li Taitou, at least not on the surface, and went straight to the middle hall surrounded by everyone's courtesy. Taking advantage of the fact that the master went out to welcome the distinguished guests, the servants in the palace had already packed up the banquet and rearranged it.

Because of Duguxin's presence, the seat of the guest of honor naturally couldn't be sat by Li Tailai, so he gave up his position and sat under Duguxin.

After Dugu Xin looked at the layout in the hall, he still couldn't hold it down after all, and glanced at Li Tai meaningfully.

Li Tai was caught on such an occasion, and it was inevitable that he would be a thief, and he didn't wait for the master to make a toast, so he first took the initiative to fill the wine glass on Dugu Xin's wine glass with wine, and said respectfully: "Dugu Kaifu sits in the west, and works hard, and uses this glass of wine to comfort the fatigue of the journey." ”

Although Dugu Xin was a little unhappy with Li Tai, he did not give him face in front of everyone, he first took the wine glass and drank it all, and then pointed at him and said: "Knowing that the elders are working hard, the young ones should work harder, share state affairs outside, and maintain the family at home. ”

When Li Tai heard this, he naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded again and again.

Yuwen Hu next to him was a little unhappy with Dugu Xin's tone of relying on the old and selling the old, so he spoke up to defend Li Tailai: "The Duke of Hanoi has lived in Longyou for a long time, and it is difficult to know about state affairs in time. Boshan is not an idle floating wave boy, a month ago, several generals in Beizhou jointly broke through tens of thousands of thieves, this time to return to the country, I have the honor to invite him into the house, so that my hall shines! ”

Thank you so much!

Hearing Yuwen Hu's enthusiasm for defending him, Li Tai saw that Dugu Xin's expression became a little unnatural, so he hurriedly said: "The past is all up to a few envoys, but I am just fortunate to have it." Brother Sabao warmly invited to entertain, but it was really disrespectful, shy to attend the meeting, but I was fortunate to be Dugu Kaifu here, to be able to listen to the teachings closely, and it was even more worthwhile! ”

When Dugu Xin heard this, his face improved slightly, and he said to Li Tai: "Although I am in Long, I have heard about the past, and it can indeed be called a wonderful victory." Don't be despised by your age, how many people in your generation can do it? But you don't have to be proud of this, your talent endowment is already better than the vulgar, even if there are any proud deeds, it is a matter of course, you should not put the measure of ordinary people on yourself! ”

Li Tai blushed a little at Dugu Xin's praise, but he was also secretly relieved, his father-in-law was still very optimistic about himself, and he was not angry because he didn't go out of the city to greet him when he came to the blind date today.

But then again, he really didn't know that Dugu Xin was back in Beijing today. Perhaps because the situation in Longbian Hexi was a little delicate, Duguxin's journey was also kept secret, and he did not inform his relatives and friends in Beijing in advance.

Not only was Li Tai curious about the situation in Longxi, but as Dugu Xin sat down and the topic opened, Wei Chi Yuan, He Lanxiang and others couldn't help but ask what the situation in Longbian was.

Although they are all nephews of Yuwentai, they can obtain a lot of power by virtue of their status, but they are also full of ambition, and they are not ordinary anointed beams and hakama. Especially seeing Li Tai's ups and downs in Beizhou, but they have nothing to do, and they are also looking forward to going to the frontier to make contributions.

Duguxin naturally did not publicize military and political secrets at will, but only said that although there were some personnel disturbances in Longbian, they were all within the controllable range.

After some small talk, time flies, and because of Duguxin's control and guidance of the topic, the original intention of this banquet has never been mentioned again.

This also made Li Tai a little depressed, although it was embarrassing to meet his father-in-law on a blind date, if he could simply refuse in front of Dugu Xin, he could also save a certain amount of impression, and he could also avoid the fermentation and entanglement after the incident.

But everyone doesn't talk about it anymore, if he takes the initiative to mention it, then it's okay to find trouble, he can only secretly complain in his heart that Yuan Xiaoze's attitude is so inactive, you deserve not to get me!

In the end, Duguxin got up to say goodbye, and Li Tai was busy and stood up, not daring to stay alone anymore, so he walked with Duguxin and left Yuwen's house.

"Several of them are also here to take a closer look, you should know that Li Boshan is indeed a young man who matches the reputation of the times, if such a lover misses it, it will be a pity!"

After sending the two away, Yuwen Hu Guitang looked at a few eldest brothers and said.

Although Dugu Xin came to interrupt, the Yuan family also made full observations on Li Tai, and when they heard Yuwen Hu say this, they all nodded in agreement, and there was indeed no dissatisfaction.

Hearing that several uncles praised themselves for their good introduction, Yuwen Hu also smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Since there is no objection, then I will invite Boshan as a guest on another day, and I will also invite a few people to sit at the table to officially inform me of this intention." If you have a good relationship with each other, you can carry out various rituals after the year! ”

Not to mention that Yuwen Huzheng was pleased that the matchmaker did well this time, after Li Tai left his house, he immediately cheered up his spirit, and cautiously rode his horse to follow behind Dugu Xin, not daring to speak rashly.

Dugu Xin also has a house in Beijing, not too far from Yuwen Hu's house, and the group walked on the street for more than half an hour, and then came to Luli, where Dugu Xin's house is located, and there are already a number of generals waiting to greet here.

It wasn't until Dugu Xin waved his hand to dismiss them, and after seeing these people return to their respective locations, Li Tai found that the entire residential area was occupied by Dugu Xin's subordinates, and the mansion was guarded.

Although the mansion was uninhabited by its master all year round, it was well kept inside and out, and the hall was not extremely luxurious, but it was also comfortable and livable, and the servants had already lit the lamps and the earth dragon fire for heating, making the hall bright and warm.

After entering the hall, Dugu Xin first signaled Li Tai to sit down, and he went straight into the inner house to change into a light and comfortable Yanju robe, and when he returned to the hall, he saw Li Tai looking at the layout of the hall, so he smiled and said: "This mansion is not given by the imperial court, and the next year will add a lady's dowry for your couple to live in Beijing temporarily." ”

Hearing that the old man was so bold, Li Tai was happy in his heart, what people said was the dowry for his daughter, and he was always bad to refuse on behalf of his wife, but he didn't have to ask the generals around the mansion and their houses to add them to the dowry.

Anyway, he himself thinks that this should be the right thing to do, otherwise the old man will not be bright enough to do this, and he is now a small person, and a mere mansion in Beijing will not make him forget about it.

"Today's Yuwen Sabao invites ......"

After a little silence, he still decided to take the initiative to confess and admit his mistake, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Dugu Xin waving his hand.

"You can't blame all of this matter, the good people will inevitably be visited by the masses, and blindly avoiding and refusing will give people a sense of loneliness and coldness."

Hearing that the old man was so considerate of himself, Li Tai nodded again and again with emotion, but he didn't dare to get cheap and sell well, so he hurriedly said: "I will inevitably have some words and deeds that Meng Lang does not know how to rein, and I must pay more attention in the future to avoid such misunderstandings from happening again." Even if the elders are considerate and do not blame, it really makes me ashamed to come to relieve me after a long journey to Beijing without rest. ”

He was actually a little strange in his heart, he only noticed and determined this matter when he arrived at Yuwen Hu's house. Dugu Xin and Yuwen Huzi didn't have a good relationship, so he didn't have time to go home to visit, how did he know about this?

Dugu Xin could hear the meaning of Li Tai's inquiry, but he didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Helan Shengle visited He Batbohua before, and he once said that Yu Wensa had this intention. That stupid lady was very infatuated, and after knowing about it occasionally, she was in a hurry, and went to cry to me with her family slave. Worried that you would not be able to resolve this dispute, I made a quick trip to Beijing ahead of schedule. ”

Li Tai was a little flattered after hearing these twists and turns, and this feeling of being noticed is really not bad.

Dugu has a high position of power, and his parents will lose it in the east, and they will not change their itinerary and plans casually for the sake of their children's affection, and the reason why they do this is obviously because of the importance they attach to themselves.

When the house slave brought the sobering soup, the two sons-in-law took a small sip and continued the conversation.

Dugu Xin carefully asked about the previous battle in northern Shaanxi, and when he heard that Yang Zhong had traveled thousands of miles to the battlefield because of Li Tai's letter, he said proudly: "This is what he will do, he is still righteous and not afraid of danger." It's rare that you haven't lived up to his promise and been able to seize the opportunity to prosper together!

I have been up and down in the world for many years, although I have not accumulated any solid and profound achievements for the younger generations, but it is by no means short of helping each other, if you can take over these affairs, you will also benefit a lot! ”

Of course, Li Tai believes that Duguxin's network resources are really a big treasure that can make him salivate, as long as these potentials are fully tapped and brought into play, he can even create a powerful empire!

The atmosphere of the next conversation has been very harmonious, in addition to some of his personnel arrangements in northern Shaanxi, Li Tai also told Dugu Xin about some recent personnel changes in the Bafu and his own understanding, and Dugu Xin also gave some comments and supplements. The slight embarrassment caused by the previous events has gradually become surging in this atmosphere of getting along with the son-in-law.

It's just that when talking about Li Tai's recent change in official position, Dugu Xin's face became serious, looked at Li Tai Zhengse, and said, "What do you think is the intention of Daxingtai to appoint you here, and is it good or bad for you?" ”

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this question, this is the most obvious arrangement for promotion, he has also had a very good time this time, as long as the matter of Yuanqiu is officially over, the official will inevitably have a large promotion. How do you see what Dugu Xin means, is this still some kind of sugar-coated cannonball that harbors evil intentions?

Dugu Xin saw that Li Tai was a little dazed, so he sighed and said: "Daxingtai City Mansion is deep, and its chest is full of thorns, and everything you do has its own deep meaning. Even if you have a high level of intelligence or the like, if you are not careful, you will be seized by it and become a pawn in its hands......"

Such an evaluation can be described as very negative, although Li Tai knows that Duguxin has not lost the idea of breaking his wrist with Daxingtai, but such a blatant negative evaluation is the first time he has heard it from Duguxin's mouth.

He couldn't help but become nervous for a while, and after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm really a little sluggish here, and I can't figure out what the malice is......

"The honor of the official lord is the envy of the people, the importance of the matter, the sincerity and the need to be cautious, once the award is biased towards the facts, there will inevitably be evil feelings and slander. With your current qualifications and experience, it is not necessarily that the higher the position, the better, and if the foundation is not solid enough, it is difficult to resist the destruction of the board. I have a career plan to serve the country loyally, and I really don't need to be pampered and lucky! ”

Dugu Xin said with a straight face: "What's more, if you offend Zhao Yuangui newly, it is inevitable that a group of fellow villagers will be hostile to you." Daxingtai uplifted you up at this juncture, which is really a bit ill-intentioned, and I am afraid that you will no longer be in charge of practice as calmly as before. If the vanity is too much and the roots are gradually weakened, once the jealousy and nuisance are provoked again, the situation must be not good! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath of relief, but he didn't think as far-reaching as Dugu Xin.

Dugu Xinguan saw that the change in his expression should have been heard in his heart, so he didn't continue to delve into it, but patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Now there is still room for redemption, you can stay here today." After I meet His Majesty the Emperor and Daxingtai tomorrow, I will come home and talk about the remedy. ”

After Li Tai got up worriedly and went to rest, Dugu Xin's face changed again, and he muttered: "My son-in-law has his own future for me, and Black Otter is really uneasy and kind-hearted for him to do this special favor......
