In the evening, Yuwen Tai returned to Taiwan Mansion. The pleasure brought to his heart by the Beizhou Good News had already subsided. He was not angry because Zhao Gui pretended to be sick and acted miserable, but he felt a little tired. So he did not return to the Naitang to see the matter and went straight back to the inner house.
Shortly after returning home, several staff members submitted a letter to ask for a visit, either because of the good news from Beizhou, or because they heard that Zhao Gui was suffering from a serious illness. The two news appeared on the same day, but the feelings they brought were completely different.
Yuwen Tai was not happy to see outsiders at the moment. He asked the officials to meet with him tomorrow, so he only asked his nephew Yuwen Hu and several nephews to come to the house to have dinner with him.
After several people sat down, they exchanged their eyebrows and eyes, and He Lanxiang, who was the most mature and steadfast and had already started the government, took the lead and said, “Uncle, I heard that the good news from Beizhou has been reported again. Huazhenggong and others will defeat the thief Hu Jugang who violated the border?”
Speaking of this, Yuwen Tai stretched his eyebrows and said, “It was Li Xianqing’s urgent report received by Baishui Dayue. At that time, Li Boshan took the initiative to ask for troops to go north. Li Xianqing did not distinguish the reality of the thief and attacked rashly. After being trapped, he was trapped in the city of Zhou. Fortunately, he rescued Li Boshan in time and defeated the thief outside the city, and then rushed to the north. Yonggui of Xiazhou also sent all the soldiers in the state to respond, greatly attacking the thief Hu Fengyan!”
Yuchi Gang in the room heard Yuwen Tai’s tone and admired Li Tai a lot, as if his talent was the key to victory in this battle, and he felt a little unhappy. He couldn’t help but say, “In this battle, all the states gathered together. Those who commanded the troops knew that soldiers were good at fighting, and they attacked Buluoji Hu, who was not known for their strength. Li Boshan’s new young general was a good general who ran around in the matter, but if he said he was defeated by him, I would not believe it anyway.”
Yuchi Jiong next to him heard his brother’s tone and his meaning was a little bit exaggerated. He was worried that he would anger Daxingtai, so he frowned and rebuked: “A war that happened in the remote Huhuang realm, how can anyone outside know the details inside? How can he make a decision lightly! When the large group of people enter the mansion and submit the detailed battle report, how can the matter be understood? If someone really wants to block the audio and video because of his remoteness, how can he be spared!”
Yuwen Tai heard the brothers singing and reconcile, and his expression did not change significantly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed and said regretfully: “Li Boshan has both heroic and civil and military talents. He is truly talented and talented. Even some old people with narrow zeal and narrow minds may lose their power, and of course they will inevitably suffer from jealousy and rejection from the same kind later. But even if it is just a kind face, if it can be maintained, it still needs to be maintained. It doesn’t matter that it can be used to cause major trouble for my family, and it can’t tolerate people’s ridicule.”
When the few people heard this, their expressions were cold and they nodded repeatedly. Especially the first Yuchi Gang who opened the topic, his eyes were rolling around and he wanted to explain and make up for it. However, with the hints of the eyes of the other people, he was worried that he would say too much and make mistakes, so he never dared to speak randomly again.
DinnerAt the beginning of the official start, Yuwen Tai took the staff to bring his children to dinner together, and specially called the five daughters to his seat. After looking up and down, he sighed with regret: “After all, you little girl is not blessed enough, and you missed the thinking you made for you.”
The little girl was not old. Facing the majestic Aye, she just timidly lowered her head and pinched her dress. She didn’t know what Aye was saying, nor did she dare to answer.
But after hearing Yuwen Tai’s meaningful words, several other elderly people in the table showed some obvious changes in their expressions. In order to cover up the smile at the corner of their mouth, Yuchi Gang hurriedly raised his glass to cover it.
Yuwen Hu, who had not spoke much after he sat down, had a hint of joy in his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to speak. While drinking, while drinking, Yuwen Hu took advantage of the opportunity to pour wine for Yuwen Tai, and asked in a low voice: “Uncle, Mr. Zhongshan…”
Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Tai’s wine glass was on the table, and most of the wine that had just been poured overflowed. Seeing that Yuwen Hu was a little scared, he suppressed his irritability and waved his hand and said, “I won’t do your business, the veteran will play with me!”
The unhappiness in his heart was turned up by Yuwen Hu’s question again. Yuwen Tai immediately lost his appetite, threw himself on the desk, and drank a few glasses of stuffy wine one after another.
Seeing this, everyone in the banquet did not dare to let go of their stomachs and eat a lot of food. Yuwen Hu and others did not dare to speak rashly, Yuwen Tai’s eldest son Yuwen Yu quickly avoided the table, stopped his brothers and sisters who were still unaware of the atmosphere and were burying their heads to eat and drink. He led a few little Douding to bow to his father and then left.
“Tongwantu is becoming more and more awesome!”
In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Yuwen Hu pointed at Yuwen Yu’s back and smiled and praised.
Although Yuwen Tai was a little angry, his expression calmed down a little after hearing this, and he nodded, “This boy’s demeanor does not look like a military clan, but if he is a master, he is still far from it!”
After saying this, he no longer was worried about his mood, and then said to Yuwen Hu, “After a few days, you will take a letter to Zhao Yuangui’s residence and summon his young son to take up his career in the prefecture, and share the Li family and the Yu family’s children as classmates.”
