When Li Mu came to the front yard, he saw a large cart parked in the yard, with a mountain of various silks and satins piled on it. Although Li Mu didn't know how much the silks cost, he vaguely remembered the silks and satins in the TV series he had watched in his previous life.
It seems that it can be used as money. There is so much silk and satin, and it must be worth a lot.
Recalling Wang Ou's words about making up for the losses caused by Wang Pu, Li Mu smiled bitterly and entered the lobby.
When the master came, Wang Ou didn't sit down either. When he heard footsteps, Wang Ou turned around and saw Li Mu, with a gentle smile on his face.
Li Mu stretched out his hand to signal Wang Ou to sit down. He sat next to him and said, "What are you doing? Didn't I already tell you that that day? One thing is the same thing, and the matter between Wang Pu and I,
It has nothing to do with us. You don’t have to apologize for him, and you don’t have to make up for my losses in the bet. You are my savior, and the kindness has not been repaid. If I accept your things again, I will feel bad..."
Wang Ou interrupted Li Mu and said: "Master Hou, as you said, one thing is the same. The slave family brought these silks and satins not for my uncle. The slave family is engaged in this business, and it is entrusted to you.
Fortunately, thanks to the publicity of Datang Daily, the last batch of goods has been sold out. This is the new goods that arrived yesterday. I will take some of them to make clothes for sister Qiaoqiao. This is a big deal."
Li Zhien squatted outside the door and overheard this sentence. He curled his lips and said, "Hypocrisy."
Li Chongyi was also standing at the door. When he heard Li Zhien muttering, he lowered his head and said, "Good intentions are not rewarded!"
"Big man, what did you say?"
Li Chongyi said expressionlessly: "If you think it's hypocritical, don't use this silk to make clothes."
"It's up to you!" In front of Li Chongyi, Li Zhien was like a cat squatting next to a tiger. There was a huge size difference, but she was not afraid at all. She glared and said: "You are a big man who has no conscience. Isn't my wife treating you badly?
Just talk to others!"
Li Chongyi remained expressionless and said: "I only know that she saved the boss's life, which is equivalent to saving my life. The savior... is not hypocritical!"
"You..." Li Zhien choked, stamped his feet and turned away, while Li Zhongyi ignored her. In terms of age, Li Zhien is actually half a year older than Li Zhongyi. His body shape can easily make people confused about his age.
But in fact, he is just a young man under fifteen, with a simple mind and not so many twists and turns in his head. Wang Ou saved Li Mu's life because he saw it, so naturally he had different ideas from Li Zhien.
Same.
After chatting for a while in the room, Wang Ou was about to leave, and stood up and said: "The shop has newly purchased goods, and there are still a lot of things to take care of. Let me tell Miss Qiaoqiao for the slave family, and I won't bother you any more. I will go back now."
Already."
"How can this be done?" Li Mu quickly stopped him and said, "Seeing that it's dinner time, how can I leave? No matter how busy I am, there is always time to eat."
Wang Ou wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Li Mu, saying: "If you insist on leaving, please take these silks away with you."
Hearing what Li Mu said, Wang Ou smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll excuse you then."
"Why bother, I just like the excitement." Li Mu said, leading Wang Ou to the backyard, and told Li Chongyi: "Find someone to put the silk and satin in the warehouse, and ask the cook if he can cook Taiyuan delicacies.
Pick up what you can and make a few dishes, I want to entertain my benefactor. Oh, and roast a leg of lamb, my other benefactor will probably like it."
Li Chongyi responded and went to make arrangements. Wang Ou asked: "Are there any guests?"
"Hmm." Li Mu said: "She is...well, the daughter of a fur goods merchant, an old acquaintance of Dingxiang. At that time, I returned to Dingxiang to guard the city without telling Qiaoqiao. Qiaoqiao also returned resolutely after knowing about it, determined to
She lived and died with me, and I met her in Mayi. At that time, she was delivering fur goods to Mayi, and she brought fifty followers with her. After hearing Qiaoqiao's story about Dingxiang, she resolutely came to the rescue with fifty people.
Therefore, he is my savior.”
"So that's it." Wang Ou nodded suddenly and didn't ask too much. In fact, the people she sent to investigate had returned the news by flying pigeons. She already knew everything about Li Mu Dingxiang's defense of the city.
As soon as Li Mu said it, Wang Ou knew who he was talking about. But the information she received was different from it. That Zhang Tianai was not the daughter of a fur trader, she was a horse bandit from Zhangjiazhai, and so was her father.
Horse bandits, and they were not on a rescue mission that day. Someone overheard the conversation between Zhang Tianai and Qiaoqiao. Zhang Tianai was there to collect the corpses and had no intention of risking his life to save others.
Li Mu covered it up in this way, which further showed his character. Since Wang Ou knew his intention to protect him, he naturally would not expose it. But in his heart, he felt that Bai Qiaoqiao's decision before and after this incident was quite serious.
Somewhat ignorant, I couldn't help but feel a sense of 'a good man is not a good match'.
When they arrived at the backyard, Bai Qiaoqiao had already received the news brought back by Li Zhien. She knew Li Mu's temper and temperament. He was a benefactor and sent another cart of silk and satin. Although it was not for Wang Pu's sake, in fact, they both understood what it meant.
He knew it well. When it was time for dinner, it was impossible for Li Mu not to stay.
Bai Qiaoqiao thought about it for a while and felt that she could not embarrass Li Mu, so she told Zhang Tianai and led Li Zhien out to welcome him. They happened to meet each other head-on and rushed into the house. Seeing Zhang Tianai in the house, Wang Ou couldn't help but
Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, there were still few women with Zhang Tianai's valiant temperament. It was rare for such a masculine woman to be so beautiful. Wang Ou secretly thought to himself, the woman next to Li Mu was still
There really isn't any ugly one.
Bai Qiaoqiao introduced the two of them, using the same rhetoric as Li Mu. She was the daughter of a fur goods merchant, but she didn't mention anything about the horse bandits. After chatting for a while, word came from the kitchen that the dishes were almost ready.
Li Mu then asked for the food to be served. The food in the Marquis Mansion was already very good, but today he specially ordered it to be rich. The chef prepared eight dishes, all of which were delicious and delicious, making people want to eat just looking at them.
After all the dishes were served, a roasted leg of lamb was finally served. Seeing that everyone was very confused, Li Mu explained with a slight embarrassment: "This... is prepared for Tian Ai, I thought she would like it."
"I don't really like meat and fish," Zhang Tianai smiled and said, "But thank you anyway."
"It's okay, you can eat something else. I like to eat lamb legs." Li Mu said, then brought the lamb legs in front of him and cut two pieces with a knife.
There were four people at the table, three women, and they didn't chat much with each other. The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Li Mu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, looked at this, looked at that, laughed dryly, and said when he had nothing to say.
: "Madam, how was your chat with Tian Ai?"
"Very good."/"Very good."
The two of them answered in unison, glanced at each other, and then said, "Sister Tian'ai and I haven't seen each other for many days. We have a lot to say, but we can't finish talking in such a short time. Husband, I want to stay in Tian'ai for a long time."
Sister Ai lives in the mansion, what do you think?"
"Of course that's good, you can live wherever you want...it doesn't matter how long you want." Seeing that Wang Ou was somewhat neglected, Li Mu introduced the topic again and said: "Madam, today the Wang family sister sent a cart of silk and satin. I see all kinds of silks.
There are all colors, and they are all made of the best quality materials. They are said to be used to make clothes for you, so you have to thank Sister Wang."
"Thank you, sister, for letting me spend money."
Wang Ou said with a smile: "This is the business the slave family is engaged in. The cost is not much, and it is not expensive. My sister can choose it and have a look. If she doesn't like it, when the next batch of goods is delivered, the slave family will send someone to deliver it again, or my sister will
If you have time, you can also go to the shop in Tongshanfang to choose. Even if the slave family is not there, it will be fine. The slave family has already given instructions to the shopkeeper."
Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Li Mu, who took over the words: "Thank you sister for Qiaoqiao. This cart of silk and satin will not be used up for several years. It is enough..." There is no topic again, Li Mu's head
It hurt a little. Suddenly I saw the wine bottle on the table. I quickly picked it up and said, "You have to try this wine. This is a new wine I brewed by myself. It is not the same kind of wine as the wine produced by Ba Shang Winery. There is no koji in the market."
There is nothing to sell here, I only brewed ten jars, this is the first time I drink it, please give it a try."
As he spoke, Li Mu poured a glass for Wang Ou, another for Zhang Tianai, and then for himself and Qiaoqiao, saying: "I would like to respect you two first. Both of you have saved my life. If I have any errands in the future, as long as I can
Don't hesitate to do it. I'll drink this cup first. You can drink as much as you like, don't force it, and drink as much as you can."
With that said, Li Mu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Wang Ou and Zhang Tianai were both a little stunned. They had never seen the behavior at the wine table in later generations. People in the Tang Dynasty did not talk so much nonsense when drinking. But fortunately, the two women were not ordinary women. Wang Ou had traveled north and south for many years, and his ability to observe what was happening and adapt to changes was extraordinary.
People are comparable. Zhang Tianai grew up in a horse bandit den since she was a child. Although she doesn't like meat and doesn't eat meat in large quantities, it is normal for her to drink heavily. The wine glass is still too small for her. Li Mu drank it, and she
So he drank. Seeing her drinking, Wang Ou also drank. Bai Qiaoqiao saw them both drinking, so she also drank. She grew up selling wine at her house, so it can be said that the smell of wine is very strong, just one glass of wine.
How could it be difficult to keep her?
"It's all huge, hehehe..." Li Mu laughed dryly and was completely speechless. He cut up another piece of mutton leg meat, stuffed it into his mouth, lowered his head and ate it fiercely.
Zhang Tianai drank a glass of wine and thought it tasted good. He took a jug and poured a glass himself. After taking a closer look, he noticed something strange and said, "Why is this wine a little red?"
"Red?" Wang Ou hadn't noticed just now. Hearing what Zhang Tianai said, he also took a look into her wine glass. Sure enough, the wine was slightly yellowish and red in color, which was different from any wine she had ever drunk. She couldn't help but also
He asked out of curiosity: "The wine is indeed a little red. What kind of wine is this?"
Seeing the topic coming up, Li Mu quickly picked up the topic and said: "This wine is actually not red, but yellow, just darker in color. Rice wine has been around since ancient times. I just improved the brewing method. After experiments, I got this reddish yellow wine.
