Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

After several contacts, Li Tai did not think that Dugu Xin was an unreasonable person. Today's sudden irritability was a bit abnormal, which also made Li Tai feel strange.

"Excuse me, do you have any doubts about Dugu Kaifu? If I am intelligent enough, I will definitely share the worries for Kaifu!"

After Li Tai thought for a moment, he clasped his fists and said.

"You? You should first think about how to deal with Hou Mochen. When he was young and strong, he was far better than you. His brothers were all heroes, and his family was one of the few strong families in the army. If you offend him, you will never act like him. Zhao Yuangui can easily cancel it!"

When Dugu Xin said this, his impatience on his face became a little calmer. He probably felt that Li Tai was in a more difficult situation than him and was comforted. He then chuckled and said, "What are you going to do about this matter? I advise you. , If the Hu chief he said is not involved in the conspiracy, it is best to follow Shangyue's instructions and help him eliminate it. "

The topic turned back to himself. After Li Tai thought for a while, he shook his head and smiled and said: "I'm afraid that I will go against Dugu Kaifu's instructions. The truth in the world is not that power can only be enforced. If not, the thieves in the Eastern Dynasty are so fierce, how can the world be like this? A place for the Western masses to gain a foothold!

It is true that I am not a hero in the world, but if I only succumb when I encounter strong people, even though Duke Pengcheng is powerful and formidable, he may not have the opportunity to show off his power in front of me! If Peng Chenggong's plan can deeply benefit the northern border defense, I will be ashamed to retire. But if I am still in this position for a day, Peng Chenggong's intention will not come within this inch. "

To put it bluntly, although Hou Mo and Chen Chong are awesome, who do they think they are in the world? If I were really afraid of fighting a strongman, I would have knelt down to Gao Huan's friends as early as in Guandong. It would be your turn to boss me around?

When Dugu Xin heard Li Tai's answer, the gloating smile on his face slightly faded. He lowered his head and was silent for a while before speaking again: "The human heart is indeed like a bronze mirror. It can be kept fresh by wiping it frequently. Dust and dirt will always accumulate. It is inevitable to bury one's original intention. It has been a long time since I was lazy to discuss the truth with my young disciple.

What you say makes sense, but I can fulfill my duties and manage things well, and I don't have to be afraid of evil emotions seizing power. If they can take the responsibility, they don't need to threaten me. It is difficult to achieve great unification. Each one has his own life. Who is more powerful than the other? But seek to be tolerated by the Tao, not to be tolerated by others, only in this way can we retain our frank nature. "

Seeing that Dugu Xin was still very angry just now, Li Tai started to make up his own mind after listening to his nonsense. He also vaguely guessed that the troubles Dugu Xin faced must be quite big. It was not easy to solve it simply based on his power. Enhance your own psychological construction.

Of course, there weren't many things that could make Dugu Xin worried to this extent, and it would have to be the strife among the top powers in the entire Western Wei Dynasty.

There are thousands of ways to explain the truth, but in the final analysis, it still lies within himself. Li Tai was too lazy to pay attention to Hou Mochen Chong's comments on his ministry. In the final analysis, wasn't it because Hou Mochen Chong was not good at it?

He himself said that if the thieves in the north could be completely eliminated, there would be no chance for Li Tai to make meritorious deeds. Now that Li Tai had just started to show some improvement, he came to act as the boss again, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Li Tai was still thinking about what specific problems Dugu Xin had encountered, but Dugu Xin had already spoken again: "Don't come here last year, did you ever visit the former Grand Master?"

Hearing this question, Li Tai suddenly looked a little embarrassed. This was obviously not a question about whether he had visited the Heba Jingwei brothers. He quickly answered seriously: "Don't come here till now. I'm so busy with everything that I don't have time to care about people. The only thing I can do is... Send people to comfort you during the festive season.”

After hearing this, Dugu Xin nodded, and there was no obvious change in the expression on his face. He just said: "In the past, we were strangers to each other and we didn't know each other. We became sworn brothers because of the Grand Master, and our relationship lasted for a long time. But the strength of a man's character has changed. Only when you have both can you take care of the other things.”

As he said this, someone else called out to the Yu family's groomsmen to prepare for their makeup. Duguxin waved his hand for Li Tai to go, but before leaving, he said: "Don't worry about Hou Mo's affairs, you can do whatever you want." That’s it. It’s over now, you can come back to my place when you have time.”

Hearing the urgent voice, Li Tai had no time to say anything more. After bowing his hands in greeting, he hurried to the door of the other hall.

The ceremony of urging makeup has been around since ancient times. The main idea is that the woman shows her reservation and the man should try his best to show his sincerity. The meaning is similar to that of later generations of bridesmaids blocking the door. Animals in nature also have similar behaviors when courting. After all, they want to obtain the right to mate and the opportunity to reproduce.

The wedding customs of the Tang Dynasty also gave rise to the literary genre of makeup-inducing poems, which can be described as elegant and interesting. But in today's Western Wei Dynasty, a group of Beizhen veterans really can't play so elegantly, but they still have to do everything they can and meet various requirements put forward by the bride's family before they can successfully pick up the bride.

When Li Tai returned, the wedding team had already gathered.

It was already the time when the lanterns came on, and the accompanying band played the music to encourage makeup, but the door to the boudoir in the back hall was still closed.

Under the urging of the spectators and the wedding groomsmen, Yu Laoer, who was dressed in auspicious clothes and looked nervous and slightly dull, walked forward with a blushing face, clapped his hands and sang a song to promote makeup, which was not an elegant voice at all. "Ci" is just a Xianbei slang song. The main idea is that the meat is stewed at home and the bed is made. If you don't like it, please come home with me. After dinner, we will get married and we will hold you for three years.

Li Tai and other groomsmen also stood behind the groom, waving colorful sticks and singing loudly with Yu Lao Er to enhance his momentum. Li Tai suddenly felt evil in his heart, looking forward to the drama of adding a temporary gift. When the second child got angry, we decided not to get married!

The two are big furniture owners, so of course such an unseemly thing would not happen. But after a makeup song was played, the door was still closed tightly. On the other side of the door, the girl's family continued to sing songs, about the long journey, strong wind and sand, etc.

Every time the girl's family sang a line, something would be thrown in outside the door, nothing more than felt tents, curtains, hats and other daily necessities, and Li Tai and other groomsmen would do it for them. Although the items were not heavy, the wall was high. Li Tai's arms hurt when he was thrown down.

The two sides chanted for half an hour before the door slowly opened, but what lay in front of them was not a smooth road, but a tall and undulating wooden frame shaped like a mountain, covered with thick felt cloth, and some bridal makeup. The ornaments are hung on the top of the wooden frame. The groom must climb up on his horse to take them down and present them to the bride, so that the bride's makeup is perfect.

Yu Lao, a boy in his twenties, naturally couldn't handle this somewhat dangerous chore, so he had various groomsmen do it for him.

A horse tied with colorful silk was led up. Li Tai had already seemed to be taking over the spotlight along the way. He didn't want to stand out anymore, so he stood inside the group.

At this time, there were many spectators inside and outside, and there were also many female guests looking upstairs in the back garden. The colorful lights and shadows placed everywhere overlapped, but it added to the hazy beauty.

The first person to apply for the tassel was Yuan Qian, the prince of Guangping. Without any help, he made a slight run-up and landed steadily on the horse with one leap. His posture was very strong. He heard the applause and cheers of the congratulators next to him. Even more inspired, he rushed up to the wooden frame as soon as he clamped the horse's belly. Only then did the servants holding soft bamboo sticks beside him remember to wave their sticks to stop him.

"Preparing this big horse is just to make things difficult for the young..."

Several Fengben also looked eager to try, but his expression collapsed when he saw the horse. Although he also practiced riding and shooting, it was still difficult to control such a tall horse due to his height and body limitations. Seeing that Yuan Qian was in the limelight at this time, he had a look of displeasure on his face and defected directly to the girl's team, cheering and cheering for the slaves who blocked the climb.

Yuan Qian continued to ride his horse, when he was suddenly struck slightly by a stick in his soft ribs. He only felt numbness and pain in the upper half of his body. After a moment of relaxation, he rolled off the horse's back and fell directly onto the felt cloth covering the wooden frame. Although it was not very painful. , but a bit disgraced.

"If it weren't for these domestic slaves, I would have taken off the makeup cage long ago!"

He returned to the team, still with an angry look on his face, and kept looking at the Bafu's slaves under the wooden frame, as if he still wanted to express his anger and hold them accountable. Yu Kuan quickly comforted him, and then sent another general's son.

This general was already strong and capable, and became even more heroic after getting on the horse. He completely ignored the obstacles around him and flexibly controlled the mount on his crotch. He watched the horse climb higher and higher. Only when he was still more than ten feet away from the makeup cage hanging high above, Drums sounded loudly on both sides, and the horse stood up in shock, knocking the man off his horse.

There were sounds of regret in the welcoming team, but the relatives of the bride's family clapped their hands and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful for a while.

This general should be the best equestrian among the groomsmen. Seeing him fall off his horse, Yu Kuan was in trouble for a while. He thought to himself that he was no better than this general, and even if he played, he would probably make a fool of himself.

Although it is said that even if the makeup basket cannot be removed, it is impossible not to get married, but losing face is inevitable. This kind of harmless banter, the woman's family is also happy to add laughter to the guests.

"I'll give it a try, but I may not succeed."

After two people failed one after another, and the remaining ones were either silent or inappropriate, the other best man, Yang Yuan, stepped forward and spoke.

He had just taken two steps forward when a female voice shouted from the attic in the inner courtyard: "Why don't we let Li Boshan appear?"

As the shouts rang out, there was laughter everywhere. Xianbei women are outspoken and enthusiastic, not shy and rigid. As one person shouted, there were corresponding voices everywhere: "If Li Lang doesn't come out, the makeup cage won't be given to him!"

Yang Yuan, who had already put his hand on the saddle, was immediately embarrassed when he heard the girls shouting in the attic. After searching the crowd, he saw Li Tai and said with a wry smile: "I have not chosen a marriage, although I intend to do it for you." , but public sentiment is hard to touch, Brother Boshan..."

Li Tai almost got into the crowd, but he was dragged out unexpectedly. He could only walk forward with a dry smile. As he approached the horse, cheers erupted from the lofts in the inner courtyard, just like the Boshan girls cheering for their brother.

Here he got on his horse and rushed up to the wooden frame, his heroic figure revealed, and his shouts became more cheerful. Just as the slaves under the wooden frame were about to wave their sticks to stop him, they heard another shout: "Don't stop me, Li Lang!"

The servants stopped in panic. Without these obstacles, Li Taixin climbed to the top of the wooden frame and successfully removed the hanging makeup cage.

"This, what is this... If I were like this, I could climb high!"

When the Prince of Guangping saw this scene, he felt a little unable to accept it, and he stamped his feet and sighed.

"Brother is mighty!"

Shuofeng was clapping his hands and cheering for Li Tai. When he heard the complaint, he sneered: "People regard you as a thief and my brother as a guest, but they still don't know where they lost. Not only are you poor in skills, you are also very stupid." !”

Thank you for your comfort and encouragement. I have almost settled my family matters. I will rest for two days to adjust my mentality and resume normal updates early next month. . . Thank you for your support and understanding. . .
