Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Li Tai stood outside the hall and waited for more than half an hour before he heard footsteps approaching from inside the hall behind him. He turned around and saw Dugu Xin walking out slowly, his face calmed down and his expression returned to calm.

Dugu Xin walked until he was in front of Li Tai, stopped, looked up and down again, and then showed a somewhat polite smile on his face: "Li Boshan, thank you, Gao Sima told me that you took good care of the grand master." ”

Li Taixiao took a step back, leaned forward and said, "The Grand Master treats me with extraordinary kindness. Although I am young and weak, I hope to do my best within my ability."

After hearing this, Dugu Xin didn't say anything else. He just walked out of the corridor and took another look at the valley villa. His eyes fell back on Li Tai, his brows slightly furrowed in thought.

"Although the small garden is simple in construction, it is elegant and interesting. Where do you live? Let me go and have a look."

After pondering for a moment, Duguxin said to Li Tai again.

Li Taizi didn't know why Duguxin expressed concern about his daily life, but he still led him to his room.

Duguxin walked in, looked around the room, stood in front of the door and window for a moment, and then turned to ask Li Tai: "Who is Huibao's son, the red-skinned shrimp just now? Does he also live here?"

Hearing Dugu Xin's name to Shuofeng, Li Tai immediately felt that this little licking dog was worthless. Fortunately, the boy got impatient and went to play elsewhere. If he heard this, he would definitely be heartbroken.

"The grand master usually likes to watch children playing, and Bodhidharma has become his close friend and always makes him happy."

Although Li Tai was dissatisfied that the boy couldn't lick the exposed person as well as him, he was one of his own after all, so he still wanted to praise him. He pointed to Shuifeng's room as he spoke.

After hearing this, Dugu Xin just sighed, and then said: "Pack it up, you and that boy Bodhidharma, you don't want to live in the valley anymore in the near future, just greet me in the morning and evening. I heard from the Grand Master, Daxingtai I admire you very much. At this young age, it’s time to concentrate on your work and make great achievements.”

When Li Tai heard this, he felt a little surprised and a little unhappy. Do I know you well? Why do you come here and I have to follow your arrangements for where to live in my own home?

Dugu Xin didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the villa. As he walked, he said, "Let me tell the Grand Master that I will leave first. Someone will come here later and arrange for the villagers to wait in front of the door."

Li Tai saw that this guy was very arrogant and didn't seem to have a good impression of him, so he didn't bother to send it off anymore, so he turned around and returned to the hall.

He Basheng was half lying on the couch. He looked at Li Taixing and said with a smile: "How do you feel when you see your wish come true? There are not many people in my northern town who are impressive. When I lived in Jiangdong, the clothes and clothes of the southern country have been passed down for a long time. The old people are also impressed by his style, which is no worse than that of your famous people."

"Not only is it not bad, it is simply bullying others!"

When Li Tai heard He Basheng's boring comparison, he couldn't help but replied in a low voice, and by the way, he told the story about Dugu Xin's plan to drive him and Shuofeng out of the valley.

After hearing this, He Basheng was happy. He looked up at Li Tai and then smiled again: "It's not because Ruyi is rude, it's just because your manners are annoying. Since he said so, you can just obey. Although my family in Beizhen is not as well-organized as yours, we still have our own simple rules, so it is natural for our boudoir to be on guard."

Li Tai became even more curious when he heard this, and then He Basheng revealed that he wanted to adopt Dugu Xin's daughter as his adopted daughter.

"Dugu Kaifu agreed? Uncle thinks that Bodhidharma and I are not attentive enough?"

After hearing this, Li Tai was surprised again and asked again quickly.

"It has nothing to do with you. I am not greedy for other people's flesh and blood. I just wish him... Well, in short, I am also happy. Lao Jing is no longer alone."

He Basheng hesitated to speak. Li Tai pondered for a moment and could tell that there must be a hidden meaning in this. It should be more than just comforting He Basheng's old love.

"Uncle, when Dugu opens his mansion, how many girls will he bring into the house? Did he ever..."

Since He Basheng refused to say anything, Li Tai stopped asking and turned to other issues.

After He Basheng heard this, he rolled his eyes at Li Tai and snorted coldly: "Don't think about or mention that matter again. Find a time to teach Bodhidharma a lesson in front of the little girl. It's time to Relieve people's depression."

"It should, it should."

After hearing this, Li Tai nodded repeatedly, feeling in his heart that this boy Shuofeng really deserves a beating. When children are arguing, you actually call adults for help. How shameless!

More than Shuofeng, he also felt in his heart that this matter was also due to He Basheng's lack of respect for his elders. Several of his children combined were not as old as you, yet you were beaten just because you said so.

Neither the old nor the young are good things, and I don't have much responsibility. Although I think so in my heart, I dare not say it with my mouth. Li Tai only hopes that Dugu believes that his daughter understands the truth and understands the responsibility involved.

Several phoenixes jumped up and ran into the hall, their little faces full of excitement and said: "Uncle, brother, just now I sent Dugu off to open his house in the outer village, and he even praised me as a good boy, who is better than I met earlier. The more you see, the more polite you will be! ”

Li Tai couldn't help laughing after hearing this, you little red-skinned shrimp!

Now that he knew the reason why Dugu Xin wanted to drive them out of the valley, his sullenness disappeared. After all, Dugu Xin still understands the characteristics of people like them. Although Lan Zhi is fragrant and does not ask for trouble from bees and butterflies, it is always inevitable.

Li Tai still has requirements for himself. Even if he wants to be a thief, he must also steal in a good way. Generally speaking, this matter is not a bad thing. Since Duguxin plans to send his daughter over, even if he does not make this request, he himself has to avoid suspicion.

So he ordered his family to clean up and vacate his and Shuifeng's rooms, leaving only some servants who daily served He Basheng in the valley.

Dugu Xin was also very resolute in his work. Just over an hour after leaving the manor, several carriages from the Dugu family entered the manor.

"My servant's name is Li Tun. I am standing in the tent of Dugu's mansion. I am ordered by my lord to give you some valuables to express my gratitude to Li Lang for taking care of Grand Master Heba."

A middle-aged man got off his horse and strode up to Li Tai. He crossed his arms as a greeting and then handed over a gift list.

"It is my duty as a young man to take care of the grand master. I cannot deserve the generous gift from Dugu's opening of the mansion."

Li Tai felt in his heart that Dugu Xin was quite open in his work and wanted to be polite in order to save his face.

However, the middle-aged man forced the gift list to be handed over. Li Tai refused, and then signaled Li Zhusheng to come in and take the gift list, and led the gift-giving team to the warehouse in the village to count and receive the gifts.

Li Tun looked at Li Tai with rich meaning in his eyes. After a while, he couldn't hold himself back any longer, and he had to bow to Li Tai before entering.

Li Tai was naturally shocked when he saw this, and quickly turned aside, saying in surprise: "Why do you do this gift?"

Li Tun half-bowed in front of Li Tai. After hearing the words, he quickly bowed his head and said: "I dare not call you husband like this. It is based on blood and clan affiliation, and I should pay tribute to you in a certain way. In the old year, he encountered misfortune. He wore armor and went to the east, in the sand garden. Fortunately, Zhan Cai returned to the imperial court and joined the lord's army. Even more fortunate to be able to pay homage to the virtuous descendant of the clan in Kansai today!"

When Li Tai heard this, he realized that Li Tun was also from the Li family in Longxi. He quickly stepped forward to help the man up and said: "The state of China is in ruins, the king's rule is dusty, the blood of each family is scattered, and love is inevitable. Everyone is lucky to keep their ambitions and not fall down.

I am just a young man from the clan, with little knowledge. I have lost my support without receiving detailed instruction from my elders. I feel hesitant and timid to talk about right and wrong. But seeing the general follow the benevolent and righteous lord, he was also very happy. "

In his heart, he wished that all of Guanxi were related to his clan, but when he suddenly heard that Li Tun was from Chen's family background, he couldn't confirm the authenticity for a while, so he could only say a few perfunctory words, "I'm young, don't lie to me."

When Li Tun heard this, he also apologized and said: "This is someone who is rude and rash. Please don't mind me, Sir. Now that I know your husband's whereabouts, I will visit him throughout the spring and autumn. We will naturally get to know each other after a long time."

Although Li Tai was not sure whether Li Tun's background was true or false, he was still quite close mentally and attitudinal. He first invited this person to sit down in the hall of the village. After Li Zhusheng took stock of the gifts and returned, he wrote a handwritten thank you note. Li Tun took it back and presented it to Dugu Xin.

After thinking for a while, he took off the gold seal given by Yu Wentai from his waist, printed it on a blank piece of paper and handed it to Li Tun. Then he said with a smile: "The world has been through calamities, and all the ways are not prosperous. Those who can make great achievements The guardian is only one who has a good family tradition. The former is summoned by Daxingtai and given this golden seal to praise the family tradition.

I am truly happy to meet the general today. Let’s encourage each other with this ancestral voice and motto, and hope that this town will regain its momentum! "

When Li Tun heard this, his face suddenly became solemn. He first stood up from the seat, then walked forward on his knees, took the sealing paper with both hands, and said with solemn respect: "Our ancestors have spent many lifetimes to create this golden and jade family honor." In this world, how dare the successors to disobey? They should defend themselves with their own lives and swear not to disobey!"

Li Tai was a little stunned for a moment when he saw Li Tun's solemn and solemn statement. He originally just wanted to show off that he was the head of the Guanxi branch of the Longxi Li family appointed by Daxingtai, but he did not expect that Li Tun's reaction would be so solemn.

After seeing off Li Tun and his party, Li Tai turned around and wanted to ask Li Zhusheng whether Li Tun's background was reliable. He didn't want to poach Dugu Xin, but if he could develop an internal agent among Dugu Xin's subordinates, it wouldn't be a bad thing. They could get closer to him.

But before he had time to ask, Li Zhusheng couldn't help but speak first: "Have you seen the gift list, Alang? The gift from Dugu Kaifu is really generous!"

"When etiquette goes out and etiquette comes in, it's not worth making a fuss about. Persistence and perseverance are the foundation of family affairs."

Li Tai casually replied, "Although our family is not rich yet, it is not bad. As for receiving a gift, we are so sentimental?"

While he was talking, he took the gift list and glanced at it casually. At first he didn't take it seriously, and then he was stunned. After a while, he said in a dry tone: "I'll go to the warehouse and take a look."
