Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Li Tai returned to the inner room to take a shower and put on his home clothes. Suddenly, a pair of slender arms tightly hugged his waist from behind.

Smelling this familiar body fragrance, Li Tai knew it was his wife without looking back. He was about to turn around and hug his wife, but the young lady refused to let go of her arms, still hugging her tightly, and pressed her face against Li Tai's back, murmuring: "My husband is finally home." ,I miss you so much!"

When Li Tai heard this murmur of longing, his heart became very gentle. He raised his hand and held the green-white fingers of the little lady twisted in front of his belly, and said with a smile: "My family is here, but I am not at home." . You have worked hard for me during this period. I would like to thank you for your good arrangements on behalf of all the men, women and children in the household.”

"Husband has not met Agu yet, how do you know that I have arranged the household affairs properly?"

When the young lady heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled softly. She also loosened her arms and let her husband hold her in front of her. Then she raised her pretty face and smiled and said, "But my husband is not wrong. I really do." Things are arranged very well! Auntie is really a very kind and loving elder. Sometimes I don’t blame me when I make mistakes. Yes, it seems that it was all taught by my aunt.”

Li Tai couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and then asked: "My father-in-law has arranged to enter the guest room? Let's go to see my mother."

Miaoyin had been sitting in the inner hall waiting for her husband. When she heard that her father had entered the house drunk, she quickly resigned and went out to arrange accommodation. When she heard what her husband said, she couldn't help sighing and complaining: "Since Aye returned to the court, maybe it's I was worried about not having enough income from my ministry, and there were still a lot of children waiting to be educated, so I spent three to five days out of ten getting drunk at my house.”

"Relatives have always been more intimate with each other the more they move around. Back then, I was alone and my father-in-law would not abandon me. Now that I have only a few people around me, how could I be stingy about food and accommodation? What's more, my father-in-law is worried that Aye won't get used to it. I take special care of the people and customs in Guanzhong. Based on my father-in-law’s reputation, who wouldn’t be treated as a distinguished guest when I visit him?”

After hearing this, Li Tai also said with a smile, and immediately took his wife's hand and walked out of the room.

The light in the inner hall of the mansion is soft, and several women are sitting in their seats. Sitting above the inner hall is Li Xiao's wife, Lu. Ms. Lu is in her early forties, with a gentle temperament and a beautiful face. However, due to lack of maintenance, she looks a little older than other ladies from aristocratic families of the same age.

Although the Li family in Longxi was a famous family in the world, after the Heyin Incident, they fled to Hebei and lived under the care of others. Naturally, the family's life was no longer as good as it was when they lived in Luoyang, and they had to farm their own food and clothing. During the busy farming season, not only the men in the family, but also the mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, have to work in the fields. A large family eats horse chews, fuel, rice, oil and salt to make them grow old. Naturally, there is no need to talk about maintenance.

But this effort was not without rewards. After the family fled to Hebei, the nephews started families one after another, and they still respected Lu as their own mother. Especially after the father and son Li Xiao and Li Tai left Hebei and disappeared, the two sons in the household were still young. The nephews, nieces and daughters-in-law not only took care of their aunts and cousins ​​in life, but also gave them great spiritual encouragement.

For example, when Li Yunxin contacted to rescue a family this year, the nephews of the same ethnic group went with their families and no one was left out, which shows the deep love between their families. It should be noted that at that time, Li Tai's series of great achievements had not yet reached Jinyang, and this kind of cross-border migration was inherently dangerous and risky.

But these people still went here without hesitation. Li Tai just provided them with an opportunity, and they were willing to come together, probably just like their uncle led them to Hebei to escape. Now that they are in their prime and have families, they escort their uncle to Hebei. Reunion with uncle in Guanzhong.

At this moment, all the family members are waiting for Li Tai to return home, while chatting about their life and feelings since arriving in Kansai.

Kansai is poor and weak while Hebei is prosperous and strong. This can be regarded as a deep-rooted concept in Shiliu's mind. So when we were in Jinyang before, when the men in the household decided to accompany their aunts to the west, the women inevitably had other thoughts in their minds, worried that coming to the west would have a great impact on the family's livelihood and future. , although she didn’t dare to oppose her husband’s decision, she was still uneasy in her heart.

But when they actually set foot in Kansai, what they saw and felt was completely different from what they had imagined. From the moment they crossed the Yellow River, everyone they met greeted their family with smiles and took great care of them, and the treatment they received was the best. Whether in the remote northern states or in Huazhou and Chang'an, the core of Guanzhong, they have not received any cold treatment.

Perhaps Kansai as a whole is indeed much poorer than Hebei, but there is no obvious gap in the treatment and enjoyment of their family, but there is a step-by-step improvement. All the worries and hesitations in my heart before were naturally swept away, and my heart turned to happiness.

All of this is naturally due to the fact that the brother-in-law who had a bad impression in his old hometown and was almost nothing but handsome had created a meritorious career in Kansai that far exceeded their imagination in just a few years after leaving his hometown!

"Master Lang is here!"

As the servants outside the hall shouted notifications, everyone in the inner hall also turned their heads to look at the door. Lu's reaction was particularly violent. She accidentally knocked over the cup she was holding in her hand. The buttermilk in the cup spilled on her dress and she ignored it. She just looked out of the hall with her eyes.

Li Tai walked into the hall and his eyes fell on his mother directly above him. The scene in his memory quickly flipped over and quickly merged with what he saw in front of him. So he leaned down and bowed down, saying: "Mom , my son is back. In the past years, my unworthy son was often willful and reckless, and my mother was worried and sad. I thought about the past and regretted it. Today I can finally bow to my mother and receive the stick. "

Mrs. Lu seemed to be speechless at this moment, staring directly at this familiar but unfamiliar son. Tears could not help but flow out of her eyes. She quickly wiped away the tears and blinked her eyes fiercely, lest he might be shaken. The Son of God would disappear before her eyes again.

Several nieces and nephews in the hall naturally knew how miserable this aunt was when she was in the Eastern Dynasty and missed her husband and son every day. Seeing Lu's behavior now, they all couldn't help but raise their hands to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes with a towel.

Miao Yin, who followed her husband into the hall, looked at the aunt in the hall who had tears in her eyes and kept glancing at her, and then at her husband who was prostrate to the ground and did not dare to raise his head. She was a little confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.

After being stunned for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had been thinking for a long time about how to smooth things over when her husband and her aunt met, so she quickly returned to her seat in the hall and pulled out from under the table. Then he handed it to Lu with both hands and whispered: "If my grievance still persists, please use this thin staff to scold the husband. It's not that I don't love my husband and protect my husband. But, it's just that the ancients said that a big stick leads to walking, and a small stick leads to acceptance. This is filial piety. My husband has many famous horses in his stable. If he really escapes from the stick, my aunt will definitely not be able to catch up. This is just the right thing!"

When Li Tai heard these words, he couldn't help but look up and glance at the thin stick in the lady's hand, and he couldn't help but thank the lady for her "consideration".

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but glance at the thin strips, and the corners of her mouth trembled. She burst into tears and turned into a smile. The excitement and sadness in her heart were reduced a lot. She actually raised her hand and took the gift Miaoyin handed over. He then knocked on the table again, lowered his head, looked at his son and reprimanded: "Didn't you hear the bride's virtuous words? Why don't you come in and receive the stick!"

After hearing this, Li Tai had no choice but to go to his mother's table on his knees. When he saw his mother raising her hand to wave the strip, he quickly said: "Mom, wait a minute. Only sages can distinguish between big and small sticks. Ru'er Such stubborn people will always walk away at the sight of a stick!"

These words immediately brought back Mrs. Lu's memories of her son's naughty youth. She couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed true. When Apan was young, he was unwilling to learn in peace and quiet. A few disciples wandered around the countryside, pulling mulberry trees and making bows. , broke willows and cut arrows, and was afraid that his mother would punish him, so he hid in the wild for several days. When he found him, he was covered with mosquito and fly bites, and he was even worse than a whip and stick..."

After Li Tai heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed. He had no memory of such embarrassing things. It was probably only a mother who did not think her son was ugly and would remember all the good or bad childhood stories of her children in her heart.

"When I found you, you still wanted to punish me, but I cherished you and refused to do so. Thinking about it now, not only did you punish me, but you also wanted to punish me even more! Your mother pities her son, but the son doesn't pity his mother. How could you bear to take away my heart and soul and stay in the dark for several years? information!"

At this point, Mrs. Lu became angry again, and she swung the bamboo strips towards her son.

After Li Tai heard this, he sighed in his heart. He lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward to meet him. The bamboo strips fell lightly on his shoulders, and Mrs. Lu said softly: "Mom doesn't blame my son, she just feels sorry for what I, A-pan, have done in the past few years." Hard work.

When we were in the countryside, our family had a hard time making a living. How much hard work did I, Apan, have to endure, and now I have properly settled all your father, brother, and relatives in this country? Your mother can take kudzu and eat chaff. She has never been afraid of poverty. She just hopes that my son will stop and take a rest when he is tired and in trouble! "

After Li Tai heard this, his nose couldn't help but feel sore, and his eyes suddenly became wet. He coughed twice and then said: "Don't worry, mom, I'm not an ignorant child anymore. I naturally know how to rest when I'm tired. I support you dearly." It is the result of many years of work. I didn’t do well before, but I will make up for it by worshiping it carefully in the future!”

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu nodded happily. She raised her hand to hold her son's arm and pulled him to her. She stared at him carefully for a while before raising her other hand to signal Miaoyin to come to her.

After stacking the palms of the couple together, Mrs. Lu smiled at Miaoyin again and said: "Before, I was ashamed that I could not welcome the bride into the house in person, and she was treated so badly. But now that I see my son's demeanor and temperament as an adult, my heart Then he secretly felt that this was enough to make up for the regret of his elder's absence from the gift.

Bride, please don’t laugh at Agu’s old woman’s arrogance. My son will be blessed to have a virtuous bride to accompany him. Parents don't have any wealth or treasures to pass on to you. All they can do is teach you through words and deeds the family tradition and the peace and humility of your family.

My son's achievements are now beyond the recognition of his parents, and there is really nothing to teach him. My bride is my closest relative who will accompany me for the rest of my life. My parents hope that you can complement each other. Although the world is big, in detail it is just one family. As long as the family is harmonious, everything will be fine! "

"Auntie, please rest assured that my husband is very, very protective of me. I also love my husband very much! As long as it is beneficial to my family, I will do it with my heart. Even if I don't know how to do it, I will definitely learn it with my heart! Although I am not the best in the world. A good bride, but she has the best husband and aunt in the world.”

After Mrs. Miaoyin heard this, she quickly nodded vigorously and made a promise, her little face full of determination and seriousness.

Li Tai had few details in his mind about getting along with his parents when he was young, but after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that his mother was really a PUA master. It's a bit inaccurate to say this. I can only say that his mother's emotional intelligence is really very high, and she is much better at creating and maintaining interpersonal relationships than his father. No wonder Miaoyin was full of praise when she talked about her mother-in-law just now.

This little lady was originally eager to be recognized by Li Tai's family, but she happened to meet a mother-in-law with such a high emotional intelligence and verbal skills. She must have lost herself in the compliments and directly believed that she had the world. The best aunt.

Li Tai was also very pleased with this. Of course, people cannot choose their origins and parents, but honestly speaking, there are good and bad aspects of the family of origin.

A good family may not necessarily give you a good starting point in your career, but it can definitely make you have a sound character and mind, maintain a positive attitude, and make it easier for you to succeed. Bad families each have their own evil qualities, which will cause constraints and drag on them from all aspects.

Since Li Tai came to this world, his family members have only existed in his memory and life background for a long time. Instead, it was the infatuated love and longing for him that this young lady, Miaoyin, made him feel deeply for.

Although he didn't say it, he was actually worried in his heart. As the clan members came to Kansai, the human relations in the family became more complicated, and it might be difficult for his wife to deal with it.

They are very different from each other in terms of background, experience, education, etc., so friction and conflicts are inevitable. Li Tai himself does not stay at home often, but he does not want to leave all the handling and maintenance of these interpersonal relationships to his wife, and he is still thinking about what will happen if he does not If they are too easy to get along with, simply live separately and exchange greetings every day. Don't let the family relationship that should be close and harmonious become a source of burden and unsatisfactory life.

But seeing his mother handling these family interpersonal interactions with ease soon made people feel close to her, which naturally helped a lot in maintaining family relationships.

The class mobility in the post-Three Kingdoms is very high. People with different life backgrounds become relatives and live together. Should this be a comma? If the relationship between these family members cannot be properly handled, not only will there be disharmony within the family, but serious politics may even arise. Crisis, such as Yang Jian's family.

Some book friends pointed out that the name of the protagonist's third brother in the previous chapter was a taboo, but they really didn't notice it. The Li clan in Longxi is huge, and it is inevitable to make mistakes if you are not careful. Although the impact is not big, it will occasionally affect the reading experience. Now I will change the name of the third brother of the protagonist to Leo. If there are still mistakes, I will change it again. By the way, let me talk about this taboo issue of the ancients. It is really troublesome. Like the previous book "Emperor of Tang Dynasty", the protagonist almost never uses the word "virtuous" in his conversations with people. But this is not the case in this book. The main character’s father, Li Xiao, also named Renlue, is really hard to avoid, so we simply don’t mention it in the article. . . I wish you all a happy life. . .
