It is another year of spring and spring, although the changes that happened in Henan made the people in the situation restless, but it did not hinder the change of seasonal scenery, the grass grew in the fields and the warbler flew, and everything became vibrant.

On March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival is the most grand festival in spring and even in the first half of the year, many powerful families in Beijing will choose to go out of the city on this day to play, and ordinary people will also put down their farm work and take their families to bathe in the river, hoping to drive away evil spirits and be healthy.

In addition to seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, there are also customs and habits of men and women enjoying and seeking a good mate. Therefore, on this day, there is no shortage of young men and women dressed up to travel, and it has also become a moving scenery in the warm spring.

However, the scenery of this year's Shangsi Festival is much inferior to that of previous years, although the people who are still frolicking and playing are still everywhere near the canals around Chang'an, but the real gorgeous clothes and ceremonial guards are rare.

Compared with the slightly deserted spring outing scene on the outskirts of the city, several locations in the city are a bit too lively.

As early as the early morning, Da Sima and Hanoi Gongdugu Xin were already busy on the street in front of the Beijing Mansion, and the courtyard was even more crowded.

Today is the day when the women of Dugu Xin's family go out of the cabinet, Dugu Xin has deep prestige, a grand position, many relatives and friends, protégés, and many relatives, friends, and protégés, plus this lady who is about to marry is also the adopted daughter of the late Taishi He Basheng, so there are countless people who come to congratulate the people of the dynasty and savages in Beijing.

Due to the fact that there were too many guests who came to congratulate him, although Duguxin arranged many relatives and friends to be responsible for the reception in advance, the guests who poured into the mansion in an endless stream were still a little unentertained, and the hall was already overcrowded. The house slaves had no choice but to hold the gifts and ask the neighbors to borrow the living room temporarily to entertain the guests.

Dugu Xin does not need to greet the guests in person in the front hall, but in the middle hall, the guests who have an unusual relationship and status have a good time, and when they hear the blessings of the guests for this marriage, Dugu Xin is also quite happy between his eyebrows.

It is a happy event for parents to see their children married, and if this marriage is envied and blessed by relatives and friends, it will naturally be doubly joyful.

Dugu Xin's son-in-law is not only from a famous family, but also a young man, and at a young age, he is already in a lofty position, and he is also valued by the Taiwan government and respected by his subordinates.

Therefore, while congratulating Dugu Xin, the guests in the hall could hardly say that they did not have a feeling of envy and jealousy, and poured this part of their thoughts into the wine and toasted frequently. Especially Li Hu, who has a deep friendship and a comparable status, coaxed the most, almost never leaving his hand and taking turns to fight.

On the day of the big day, Dugu's confidence was just right, and all kinds of people did not refuse to come, and soon his drunken state was revealed.

When the general of the family came in to advise him to save money, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "These veterans hate me for being a good son-in-law, but there is no match in their own households, if they are not allowed to secretly punish them in the name of toasting, and accumulate depression, I am afraid that they will not be happy to enter my hall again." But to make the masses happy, today a large number of accompaniment! ”

Hearing him show off like this, the guests in the hall were all angry and screaming, and they tried their best to persuade them to drink, they were all familiar with the old township party here, and of course they would not turn their faces and get angry because of Duguxin's jokes about the veterans.

What really makes people a little unhappy is that what this guy said is really special, his son-in-law Li Boshan is a temporary choice regardless of family background, character or talent, who is not envious of anyone who has a woman in the family to be in the boudoir?

Seeing Dugu Xin's somewhat smug appearance, another old friend smiled evilly: "I saw that the makeup prepared in the inner hall was higher than the wall, luxurious and magnificent, and the materials were so rich, Brother Ru was not afraid that the visitors would ridicule and buy a marriage?" ”

Although Dugu Xin is in a respected position, if he talks about his family background, he is naturally not as good as the Li family in Longxi, and spending money to buy marriage is indeed one of the choices for many upstarts to raise their families.

When Dugu Xin heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, and when he drank all the wine in the cup, he sighed again: "My son-in-law is good in everything, but there is only one thing that makes my parents feel regretful, that is, in public and private, good at seeking good deeds, so that the relatives have a shameful age, a long life, and a false life, it is difficult to carry in the situation, and it is difficult to teach in the household." ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more speechless. When it comes to the position of officials, some of them here are not as good as Li Boshan today. When it comes to family property and assets, all of them here have more or less purchased military rations and other commodities from Li Boshan, and have contributed their own strength to the growth of their family property.

Therefore, it is indeed nonsense to say that Li Boshan entered into this marriage because he coveted Duguxin's powerful assets. Although Dugu Xin is not bad, Li Boshan's status and power today are beyond the reach of many princes and even the sons of Daxingtai, and it is obviously not due to Dugu Xin's father-in-law.

Dugu Xin was a little drunk, not as self-reliant as usual, and when the topic turned to praise for his son-in-law, he was even more uncontrollable.

Taking advantage of his own excitement, he stood up from the banquet and said with a smile: "You only see that my little girl has a lot of makeup, but you don't know that my virtuous son-in-law has given a lot, so it is inevitable that you will secretly think about it. The day before yesterday, the door has just completed a shooting hall, I plan to enter the court in the coming year to recuperate and enjoy myself, the furnishings in the hall are all Boshan enshrined, and lead you to a look. ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the hall with his head held high and walked to the left, and when everyone saw this, they all got up and followed, and soon came to a tall and spacious shooting hall.

The most conspicuous thing in this shooting hall is several large rows of bows, knives, armor, canes and other instruments, long bows, short bows, riding lunges, bows, and even lacquer-painted and carved ritual bows, etc., all of which are very good in material craftsmanship. The same long knives, short knives, large knives, horizontal knives, and horse chopping knives are also arranged on the rack, the blade is thick and symmetrical, and the blade is cold, and it can be seen at a glance that they are all extraordinary products.

As for those armors, they are even more eye-catching, with different styles and shapes, but all of them are high-quality products, which makes people dizzy.

Most of the people present were battle-hardened generals, and their love and obsession with these ordnance were far greater than others, and when they saw that these dazzling treasures occupied almost half of the shooting hall, they were all amazed, and they stepped forward to admire it again and again, and their envy was beyond words.

When Dugu Xin was smug and showed off the arsenal that his son-in-law had given him with a smug face, there was also a group of people gathered somewhere in the inner hall of the mansion to discuss something in a whisper.

"You all know what's going to happen at home today, right?"

In a slightly remote room in the inner courtyard, a child with a short horned bow in his hand looked at the other boys and girls sitting in the room with a frowning and serious expression, and asked in a deep voice.

After hearing this, some of these boys and girls nodded their heads again and again, and some raised their hands blankly and asked, "Brother, what's going on at home?" It's so noisy......"

"Stupid, stupid! Then I'll tell you again, someone is going to kidnap our sister today! That's why there are so many relatives, friends, and slaves in the house today, and there are so many cage arrangements, all to stop the thieves! ”

This slightly older child is Dugu Xin's second son, Dugu Shan, who entered Beijing with his family before the Shangsi Festival, and then told his younger brothers and sisters in the house with a cold expression that something bad was going to happen at home.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a girl of his age stood up and said, "Futuo, you are wrong! Where is the thief who wants to take my sister, my sister has already said that today is my sister's marriage, and she wants to go to the house of Li Boshan, who often came to the door earlier......"

Dugushan pouted with some disdain: "What do you know about a little woman, Auntie, she is afraid that we are young and worried so she lies and deceives, this morning Li Tun entered the room and told me to arrange a car barrier tonight to block my sister's car."

Li Tun is our Aye's general, and he will never deceive me. If it's really a good thing, he will ask me to stop the car? In previous years, my sister also went to live in other households, so she needed to prepare so many cages? It's clear that the thieves are very vicious, so add protection to the wall! ”

Hearing Dugu Shan's eloquent analysis, the children, who were already a little ignorant, nodded one after another: "Brother is right, what the second sister said is not right!" ”

Seeing that all the younger brothers and sisters expressed their support for him, Dugushan nodded with satisfaction, and sighed again: "Our sister is also strange and vicious, but there are still so many people fighting for it, which makes people feel uneasy." I couldn't protect my sister before, but fortunately, it was a false alarm, but this time, you have all eaten rice and meat for a few more years, you must protect your sister, and you are not allowed to be robbed of her, can you do it? ”

"Can, can?"

The boys were still a little lacking in confidence, and when they heard that such a big battle at home was to protect their sister, they couldn't help but feel more and more weak.

"I can!"

Seeing that the team was disheartened and a little unmoved, Dugushan glared at him again, and then ordered them where to ambush and how to stop the enemy. Fortunately, these little guys were also worried about their sister's safety, and although they were not very confident, they still listened carefully to the orders.

After arranging the younger brothers and sisters everywhere, Dugushan took a small and delicate sister straight to the attic where the sister lived, and took advantage of the busy internal and external slaves to take advantage of the slaves and maids to tiptoe into the inner room, opened a lacquer cage full of silk and satin and said to the younger sister: "Fourth sister, you hide here, give you a bamboo shuttle as a weapon, don't come out if you can't hear my signal!" ”

The little girl looked at the small space of the lacquer cage, instinctively resisted, hesitated for a moment, then raised her legs and stepped in and whispered: "Brother, don't forget me......"

"Don't worry, eat this first when you're hungry."

Dugushan also very considerately stuffed a piece of Hu Biscuit, and shook off the fabric to make it more fluffy, and then covered the lacquer cage again.

After doing this, he was going to inspect the hiding places of his other younger brothers and sisters, but when he turned the screen, he saw that his sister was sitting deep in the curtain and hiding her face and crying, so he immediately bowed in front and said angrily: "Sister, don't worry, whoever dares to rob you, I will kill him!" ”
