Lu Rou was an official in the court all the year round, and did not make a living in other ways, and originally lived in poverty, but with the help of relatives and friends, the situation also improved year by year, and the family house also moved to the east of Chang'an, which was more secure and closer to the imperial city.

When Li Tai and his entourage arrived, Lu Rou also led her family and guests to wait in front of the door, greeted each other and greeted each other slightly, and then sat down together.

"The gifts sent by the former envoy Shishilang have been received, Boshan, your gifts are too generous, they are more than the dowry I prepared for my father for my mother."

After sitting down, Lu Rou looked at Li Tai again and thanked him.

As a material basis for a woman to gain a foothold in her husband's family, the dowry can be thrifty and abundant, but it cannot be without, which is the obligation of parents.

When Li Tai heard this, he said with a smile: "When I entered the Kansai region, the little lady came to worship me, and before I knew it, I had reached the year of leaving the cabinet. In the past, I neglected to care, and now I have a little dowry fund for him to strengthen this trip, which is also a part of my cousin's heart. As for you, cousin, you have a good upbringing, so that the little lady is gentle and beautiful, and her virtue is like jade. ”

After hearing this, several people in the hall also nodded yes, although the Jingzhao Wei clan has a good reputation in Guanzhong, but in terms of the entire world, it is still not as famous as the Fanyang Lu clan, which is the world's first-class family.

In terms of the social status and prestige of the two families alone, this family business still belongs to Webster. However, Lu Rou does not have a brother-in-law, and he is based in Kansai alone, and when it comes to the strength of the clan, it is far inferior to the deep-rooted Jingzhao Webster. Therefore, this family business can also be regarded as learning from each other's strengths and taking care of each other.

They are also relatives who often come and go, not outsiders, so Lu Rou ordered her son to pass on to the back hall, and asked the lady to be married to come to the front hall in person to meet Li Tai and thank him for this generous gift.

Not long after, Lu Rou's wife Yuan led the little lady to be married into the hall together, and generously greeted Dugu Xin and other guests, and then the little lady was signaled by her parents to walk in front of Li Tai, bowed and said: "Anu has been from the boudoir for a long time, and he is too lazy to worship the relatives of the family, but he still has to ask his cousin for mercy and give a generous gift, thank you for your cousin's care!" ”

Looking at the dignified and beautiful appearance of this little lady, and there was still a bit of childhood between his eyebrows, Li Tai couldn't help but think back to the past years when he first came to Kansai.

At that time, he went to the Lu Rou Mansion in Chang'an City as a guest, and his cousin-in-law Yuan personally cooked the food, and this little lady was still at an age that did not understand the world, and she was worried that the guests would not be used to drinking bitter tea, although she was reluctant, she still reluctantly brought honey to taste.

Thinking of this, Li Tai couldn't help but laugh again, waved his hand to the little lady and said: "The little lady doesn't have to be polite, the first time I saw it was still in front of me, and now the lady is already slim and will be the head of the house." Uncle Cousin doesn't have any profound principles to teach you how to govern the family, but only to help the little lady avoid the troubles of daily use.

I still remember that the little lady has a sweet appetite, and the 500 catties of frosting sugar in the gift are treasures in the southern country, which can be used for daily diet. And there is a sugar workshop in the first area is located in the north of the province, and the lady can send the slave to Jingzhou to collect it after marriage. ”

Frosting sugar has not yet been sold in Guanzhong, and the market price is not yet known, but as long as the diet related to sweetness is absolutely not cheap. So after hearing this, Lu Rou hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, this is too precious!" Boshan, you have already given heavy gifts, and you really don't need to give any more money. Their young children should work hard to make a living, and their parents care too much, but they don't know the difficulties of material resources! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Cousin, you don't have to say much, this is my communication with my juniors." Whether the gift is thick or not, you have to thank the Merriam-Webster children in front of the table! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who needed to kowtow to him came to the door, and the doorman hurriedly came in, and the brothers Jingzhao Wei Shiwei and Wei Xiaokuan came to visit with their children.

So Lu Rou's wife led her daughter back to the inner courtyard, and Lu Rou got up to greet her. Li Taizheng had something to discuss with Wei Xiaokuan, so he also greeted him.

The Wei brothers came to the door today to discuss the details of the marriage, but they didn't know that Li Tai and Dugu Xin were also in Lu Rou Mansion, and they were very surprised when they saw Li Tai, and they asked a little politely and then hurriedly went to the church to meet Dugu Xin.

Duguxin and the Wei brothers are also familiar with each other, and after meeting, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries, and jokingly chatted about the topic they had just been in the hall. When the Wei brothers heard this, they couldn't help but say something, and hurriedly asked their nephews to kowtow to Li Tai to thank them.

Wei Nai, who is about to marry the daughter of the Lu Rou family, is the son of Wei, Wei has no official lordship, and has been living in seclusion in the countryside, but it is similar to Li Tai's father Li Xiao, and they also have some interaction with each other. Wei used to live in seclusion in the township, but now he spends most of his time in the Longyuan Academy of Li Tai's family.

This is also a method of risk management for the current clans, other clansmen go out to work hard to do business, leaving one to take care of the family business in the township and sell fame and prestige, the most famous of which is Xie An, who has made a comeback.

Like this, although Wei is indifferent to fame and fortune and has fun in the mountains, it is because Wei Xiaokuan's brother is really capable, if Wei Xiaokuan and other family members have accidents one after another, no matter how unhappy Wei is, he has to take the responsibility of maintaining the family's position.

Wei and Lu Rou's in-laws wanted to discuss marriage, but Duguxin was still curious about how Li Tai would persuade Wei Xiaokuan, so the three of them stood up together and went to the side hall of Lu Rou's house to sit down and prepare for their own discussion.

After the three of them sat down, Dugu Xin looked at Li Tai and waited for him to start behaving. And Wei Xiaokuan, who was a little unknown, also looked at Li Tai after looking at the two, and didn't know what to talk about with himself.

Li Tai did not directly talk about Yuwentai's crowning of the king, but first looked at Wei Xiaokuan and said sincerely: "I have admired Jianzhong Gong for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to express my gratitude in person, and I often regret this in my heart. ”

When Wei Xiaokuan heard this, he hurriedly bowed and waved his hand and said: "Taiyuan Gong is serious, Xiaokuan is just a mediocrity of self-defense and hard work, how dare he be so praised by Taiyuan Gong?" Taiyuan Gongcai is a real famous general in the world, restraining the north and the south, and moving the world, and is a talent that people in armor need to admire! ”

Dugu Xin looked at the enthusiasm of the two of them touting each other, and was even more curious in his heart, so he simply said directly: "The two of you admire each other, you can look good in the future, but it is still important for now." ”

After Wei Xiaokuan heard this, he also put on a deaf look, and Li Tai looked at Wei Xiaokuan again after a little silence and said, "I want to ask Jian Zhonggong, according to your view, what kind of person am I?" ”

Wei Xiaokuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then said again: "Taiyuan is a famous and talented man, with a super easy demeanor and majestic talents, uh, and he is also generous and heroic. A certain and Da Sima also know each other very well, if Taiyuan Gong has something to use, but it doesn't hurt to say! ”

Not to mention Li Tai's reaction, Dugu Xin couldn't help frowning when he heard this. How did Li Tai, who he was looking forward to the most, persuade Wei Xiaokuan to support him, was it to coerce Wei Xiaokuan with the favor of his previous help and Wei Xiaokuan's friendship with himself?

He was about to open his mouth to ask Wei Xiaokuan not to give him face, but Li Tai had already taken the first step and shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to ask for help from Jian Zhonggong, but I have a great good thing to share with Wei Gong." If this matter is successful, it goes without saying that Duke Wei will be able to seal his wife and son, and he will be rich and noble, and he will be famous in history and famous for centuries. ”

"This, this ......"

Wei Xiaokuan was a little stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Dugu Xin on the side, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, is there something wrong with your son-in-law?

Dugu Xin also thought that Li Tai was talking about asking for the seal for Yuwentai, and when he bragged about it, the displeasure in his heart couldn't help but overflow, and he snorted coldly: "Although Wei Gong is not an outsider, you don't want to disturb his heart with too absurd words!" ”

After hearing this, Li Tai nodded, raised his hand to signal Dugu Xin to be restless, and then said after a while: "The world is difficult, and I have been walking for too long, and I am about to forget my original intention." I don't want to tempt Duke Wei with power, fame and wealth, but the troubled times have been going on for a long time, people's hearts are treacherous, and if I want to conspire with them, I will talk about the pros and cons. But in fact, the pros and cons of this matter are secondary, morality comes first, although the strong man has died nine times without regret, the decrepit villain is also cowardly! ”

Speaking of this, in order to increase his momentum, Li Tai simply stood up from the seat, bent down and looked down at Wei Xiaokuan, who was still a little dazed, and said in a deep voice: "What I want to invite Wei Gong to do is to eliminate the north and south, make up for the split in the sky, subdue the four yi, and recreate the hot summer!" Before me, the troubled times are complicated, and after me, the Han family is forever! ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, Wei Xiaokuan and Dugu Xin were a little dumbfounded, they really didn't expect Li Tai to make such wild words, and they were shocked for a while.

"Conquer the four yi, recreate the hot summer?"

After a long while, Dugu Xin put away the surprise on his face, and then his face became gloomy, and he glanced at Li Tai and snorted coldly: "I don't know if I, the northern captive, am within the four Yiyi that General Li said?" ”
