At three o'clock in the morning, Li Mu was still sleeping.
You can't blame him. Yesterday, he stayed up half the night in order to make the tiger-skin mink. Together with the lack of sleep the day before yesterday, his body was exhausted to the extreme. He didn't even think about making trouble and fell asleep.
How can you get up at dawn?
Although Bai Qiaoqiao knew that Li Mu was going to school, she still felt distressed and couldn't bear to wake him up. But looking at the time now, she really couldn't help but wake him up. There was only one morning for classes in Chongwen Hall, and Li Mu
If I don't get up, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up.
Although it was already late, it was better to go late than not at all. Bai Qiaoqiao finally made up her mind, leaned into Li Mu's ear, and softly asked him to get up.
"Ouch..." Li Mu drowsily heard someone calling him. He thought it was in his previous life. He raised his hand as if to answer the phone and said angrily: "Why don't you let me live? I just fell asleep."
Yes, if there is a bug, you can take care of it yourself, I..."
Suddenly Li Mu saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, turned over and sat up.
"Honey, I...I was dreaming."
Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "I know, you talk nonsense when you are dreaming. Are you awake? You have to get up. You have to go to the palace to study today. You were still talking about it last night."
Li Mu fell on the bed and said shamelessly: "Wife, do you think His Majesty is old and confused? I am so good, who taught me! Is that old guy Kong Yingda? Haha... What can he teach me?"
"Don't be too arrogant." Bai Qiaoqiao climbed onto the bed and helped Li Mu take off his underwear. Li Mu followed her strength and turned over, like a baby in swaddling clothes, doing whatever he wanted. The entire Zhulu Hou Mansion
, only Bai Qiaoqiao dared to say that Li Mu was arrogant, and Li Mu was not angry yet, so he made Li Zhien envious.
After helping Li Mu take off his clothes, Bai Qiaoqiao was about to get out of bed to get him a new one. Li Mu lowered his head and glanced at the little brother who was looking up, stretched out his hand to pull Bai Qiaoqiao into his arms, and said, "Madam, I couldn't do anything last night.
Do you want to take care of your business now? I am remembering your business. For the sake of my children and future generations, I will work overtime today. Come on, come on... You are welcome, just ravage me, come on!"
"Oops," Bai Qiaoqiao pushed Li Mu away and said, "I'm not serious. I'll go study first and come back in the evening... Then we'll talk." Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at Li Mu, and the amorous look in this glance made Li Mu's heart tremble.
"Then give him a kiss," Li Mu pouted, and Bai Qiaoqiao had no choice but to kiss him.
Only then did Li Mu calm down and let go of Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao went to get the clothes and waited for him to finish dressing. Li Zhien came over with breakfast, steamed buns, porridge, and pickles. In future generations, this will be very common food, but
In this era, it is considered a luxury.
But the luxury is not about the buns. Li Mu just changed the name of the buns. Now it is called "Steamed Buns". He had to call him Baozi. Everyone in the house had to follow him and change the name. The real luxury is the pickles, salt is rich and expensive.
Ah, I am afraid that only Zhuluhou Mansion would be willing to pickle side dishes with salt.
"I'm going to visit my father today." Bai Qiaoqiao got up early and had breakfast. Watching Li Mu eat, she habitually muttered to him: "My father bought a house in the city.
He said that he will live in the city from now on. He doesn’t know about Gensheng’s trip to Dingxiang yet, so I’ll go and tell him.”
Li Mu nodded, picked up the bowl and finished the porridge. Li Zhien looked on and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Tell your father-in-law to come over in the afternoon. I have something to tell him... That's all. When I come out of the palace in the afternoon, I will go directly to my father-in-law. You wait for me at his place and we will go home together."
"Okay." Bai Qiaoqiao asked, "Do you know where it is?"
"I know, my adoptive father said hello." Li Mu said, pulled Li Zhien and kissed him again, picked up his tiger skin 'Diao'er' and put it on his body, called 'big man', and went out through the back door.
Already.
Bai Qiaoqiao looked at her husband wearing tiger fur and mink, and smiled helplessly, saying: "My husband sewed for half the night to make such a piece of clothing. It looks so awkward to wear."
Li Zhien said: "I think furry ones are very cute. I want one too, but I don't dare to tell my husband."
"There is something good that I can leave behind for you. Didn't you hear what I was talking about yesterday? It needs to be done as a business. If you can sell it to others, will you be missing something?" Bai Qiaoqiao took the clothes Li Mu had changed.
When she had time, she would wash them herself. Although there was no shortage of laundry servants in the Zhuluhou Mansion, she had never left Li Mu's clothes out of hand, even if Li Zhien wanted to help. In her
In my heart, this is what a wife should do for her husband.
Li Zhien stuck out his tongue and ran out to arrange the carriage.
Li Mu came out from the back door, riding the white horse given by the emperor. He was wearing this tiger-skin mink. At first glance, it looked as if a tiger was going to eat the white horse. And because he was wearing tiger skin, the white horse was particularly docile today.
In the past, when I was in a bad mood, I would dare to stumble, but today I am so good, I just follow the reins wherever I want, and I am extremely honest.
When passers-by saw this, they all started talking about who this person was. Some people saw the front face and short hair, and they all knew it was Li Mu. The news of Li Mu shaving his hair had spread throughout Chang'an through the mouth of "reporters".
This is the latest joke on the streets. Wei Zheng also experienced a sharp decline in reputation after this incident. In the past, when students were boasting, they often said that they would be ministers like Wei Zheng who would help the emperor's mistakes, but now no one dares to say so.
Li Mu noticed everyone's gaze, but he didn't care at all. But Li Chongyi couldn't bear it. Even though he was tall and round, he looked like a rough man, but this kid was a showman. When too many people paid attention to him, he would feel
Shy. At this time, thanks to Li Mu, countless eyes looked over. Li Chongyi lowered his head, turned the reins and came closer to Li Mu, and whispered: "Boss, it's not cold yet, you'd better take off this cloak.
It’s too eye-catching.”
"Why do you need to take it off?" Li Mu glanced at him and said, "I, your boss, must be a figure who leads the fashion in Chang'an. Do you understand fashion? Fashion... is fashion, fashion, and fashion. Everyone imitates it, that is,
For fashion. Just watch, before long, the nobles of Chang'an City will be proud to wear clothes like mine. And I want to tell you, remember, this is not called a cloak, this is called a mink.
Dedeyi'er, Diao~er~...you said you are also from Nagada in the Northeast, but you can't speak Northeastern dialect? Little brother, you can't do it either!"
Li Chongyi corrected him seriously: "Although I am in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, I don't speak like this."
"...Forget it, I can't explain it to you, I don't have any sense of humor."
"Boss, I don't understand what you are saying. Am I too stupid?"
"As long as you know you are stupid, at least you are not stupid," Li Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"
"Here it is." Li Chongyi took out a cloth bag from his arms, Li Mu took it in his hand, opened it, took a look, and said: "Bi Laosan's carving skills have become much more exquisite. Look at this Yaoji carving.
It's a great one, good, good! I'll reward him with five sticks later."
"Oh." Li Chongyi responded. He had no idea about money, but he never had less than fifty taels of silver with him. Because Li Mu didn't like to carry money, it was too heavy.
When Li Chongyi saw Li Mu playing with the bamboo pieces in the bag and not mentioning studying, he couldn't help but remind him: "Boss, you are going to study."
Li Mu glanced at Li Chongyi and said: "Yes, I went to play." He shook the '80,000' in his hand and said: "Do you know what this is? This is called Mahjong, the ultimate evolved version of leaf tiles. So-called
"When Mahjong comes out, who can compete with it?" Even if all the gambling equipment in the world is not considered, it can't keep up with the fun of Mahjong."
Li Chongyi asked in confusion: "Since it's so fun, why not give it to Madam first and take it to Chongwen Hall instead?"
"Ha! You are loyal to Madam." Li Mu threw the '80,000' into the bag and said, "Small gambling makes you happy, but big gambling harms your body. How can I give such a life-wasting thing to Madam? That's not the case.
Did it harm her? Use it to harm others first and see the effect. As for Madam...then we'll talk."
"oh."
Chongwen Hall.
Kong Yingda was a little absent-minded.
It was not him who should be teaching today. If the Imperial College was compared to a university in later generations, Kong Yingda would be the 'principal'. He would not easily teach in person. The people who teach are called 'professors', and Wang Pu is one of them.
But Kong Yingda came yesterday and came again today. He just talked about "The Analects" for a while and then asked the students to write silently. But he stood on the eaves of the corridor, as if waiting for something.
Li Chengqian, who was sitting at the front, saw that Kong Yingda hadn't noticed, so he tore off a strip of paper from the case, rolled it into a ball, and threw it on Li Tai's case, which he was writing carefully. Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian and whispered
Said: "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Qingque, do you think Li Mu will come today?"
Li Tai frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Brother always does whatever he wants, so I can't say for sure."
"Let's make a bet?" Li Chengqian moved the futon under his butt towards Li Tai and said, "How about we bet fifty dollars? I bet he won't come. If he doesn't come, you will lose.
I have fifty guan."
Li Tai glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost noon, in other words, class was almost over. Li Chengqian's bet was no different from robbing money, so he said: "I won't bet with you, brother, your monthly salary has been used up again."
?”
"Alas!" Li Chengqian sighed heavily and said: "You think I am like you, so popular with my father and the emperor, and I have my own mansion, and I can spend it as I like. I am in the palace, do I have the final say in the East Palace? Queen Mother
When he said that he should be strict about frugality, the first thing to do is to be frugal on me. I don’t have much money to begin with, so if I try to be frugal again, ugh..."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai pitifully and said: "Qingque, I like such a barbarian scimitar. If it only costs fifty swords, they will keep it for one day. It won't be guaranteed after tomorrow. You can borrow it."
Come on, I want it so much!"
"I..." Before Li Tai could answer, Kong Yingda's furious voice came over: "Li Mu! What are you wearing? This is the Chongwen Museum, you are so presumptuous!"
