Even though Li Mu had expected it and doubled the number of copies of the newspaper, it could not stop the people's enthusiasm. The newspaper seller seemed to have become a street rat that everyone shouted to beat. As soon as one person discovered it, a group of people immediately followed.
They gathered around, everyone stared with red eyes, and a few of the more timid ones almost peed their pants in fright.
When Li Mu finished his lunch and took Li Chongyi and Dugujiu out, the two "Heng Ha" generals came out and saw people everywhere on the streets of Chang'an City. They gathered together in twos and threes to study and guess the Chinese characters.
The people who knew how to read looked for clues based on the pictures. Some people found the clues but couldn't solve them. So they had to gather a few people to study together and agreed to share the profits equally...
Li Mu was very happy to see such a 'prosperous' scene. He did not expect that marketing would be so successful. Unfortunately, there are only two idiots around him now, and no one appreciates this talent... It would be great if Wang Ou was around, she would definitely be able to
Say what you like to hear.
But it doesn’t matter. The second general, Humph, is still young and can be guided.
Li Mu cleared his throat and said: "Two worthy brothers, seeing such a scene, I wonder what you two feel in your hearts?"
Li Chongyi said: "Boss, what are you asking about?"
"..."
Li Mu rolled his eyes at the big man. This guy kept chatting to death, and he didn't know if it was intentional. Li Mu turned to look at Dugu Jiu with a smile, and said: "Xiao Jiu, you know what the elder brother is asking.
Tell me, brother, am I very powerful?"
"Brother." Dugujiu said with a worried look on his face: "Brother has only given out a thousand guan in total, but the people of Chang'an are probably involved in tens of thousands of people. If they waste so much effort, they will not be able to get it in the end.
How pitiful it is to have money. I saw that there are many old people and children. It’s freezing cold today. What if we catch the wind and cold again? Brother, since you want to spread your money, why not go to the West Market or the East Market?
It would be nice to just put a desk in the market and let the people line up to collect the money, why bother teasing people like this?"
"..."
Li Mu almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of old blood. He was really unkind to others. Was he blind? How could he accept these two young men with dead heads? Sooner or later, they would be angry to death!
Li Mu shut himself up, pursed his lips and said nothing. Seeing Li Mu like this, Dugu Jiu also knew that he had said something wrong, and murmured without daring to make a sound. For a long time, Li Chongyi seemed to have come to his senses, and said to Dugu Jiu: "
Fool, do you really want to give out money when you become the eldest brother? He just wants to let people know about JD.com. You are too stupid to take it seriously."
Dugujiu suddenly realized: "Oh...that's it. Big brother is really bad!"
"Fart!" Li Mu was so angry that his head was steaming, and he cursed: "What did I do to ruin it? I failed to pay the money? Do you want me to open the treasury and let people take it as they please? I will make you eat sheep every day.
All the money from the leg is given to the people, and you will be happy?! Asshole!"
After scolding you, You was not relieved and added: "As a punishment, you two are not allowed to eat lamb legs for three days!"
"ah?"
The two of them suddenly looked miserable. The chef of Zhuluhou Mansion was a master at roasted lamb legs. Li Chongyi's favorite was roasted lamb legs and he ate one every day. Dugujiu came to Zhuluhou Mansion for a few days and fell in love with it.
This delicacy, even though he is small, his appetite is not small at all. Li Chongyi can eat a leg of lamb, and he can also eat one. If he doesn't eat it for a day, he will feel like something is missing.
Li Mu suddenly punished them not to eat lamb legs for three days, and both of them immediately shrank. They looked at each other and muttered and complained about each other.
Li Mu was so angry that he raised his riding whip and dismounted, speeding up and rushing to Jingdong Market.
At the entrance of Jingdong Market, a table was set up. It was getting cold at this time, so a brazier was set up beside it. Bai Naoer was sitting behind the table, dealing with the people who were 'claiming prizes'. Ergou was waiting beside him with his arms around his shoulders.
, there are a few idle men next to them, responsible for driving away those who fish in troubled waters.
There was something in Ergou's eyes. Even though he was serving Bai Nao'er, his eyes would glance around from time to time. When Li Mu came from a distance, he was the first to notice and hurriedly waved and greeted: "Master Hou! Master Hou!" He said hello twice.
, and spoke to Bai Nao'er and the people waiting next to him. After speaking, the people had already ran over and led Li Mu's horse.
Finally meeting a discerning person, Li Mu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Er Gou, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are the paparazzi doing?"
"Thanks to the Marquis, we have recruited more than a dozen people. I went to the house the day before yesterday and met Mrs. Zhien. I also received a reward from Mrs. Zhien. Now the brothers are working hard and are ready for a big fight.
."
"It's easy to say, as for rewards, I am never stingy. Everyone says that those who want to be rich are unkind. That's not the case for me. Look, this time, I have scattered a lot of money. The people of Chang'an are so happy. How about it?
Has anyone solved the puzzle and come to claim the reward?"
Ergou chuckled and said: "How many people can guess the riddle that the Marquis asked? After waiting all morning, only one person, the blind cat met a dead mouse, and found a ticket voucher in a Gala alley.
I received ten pieces of money. The rest were all fishermen in troubled waters, and they were all beaten away." Ergou became more and more angry as he spoke, and cursed: "These bastards, the Marquis used the money to make money, and they dared to cheat.
, I’m really blind. If you dare to fool the Marquis’ money, you must first get past my second dog!”
"Well done! Xiao Jiu'er, reward me!"
"Hey!" Dugujiu responded, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, about seven or eight dollars, and threw it to Ergou. Ergou caught it steadily and smiled even happier. He trotted over and moved one over.
He dismounted from the horse and asked Li Mu to step on it. Originally, he was going to lie down on the ground to act as a dismounter, but the last time he did this, he was kicked by Li Mu. He had a better memory and prepared a stool early.
Li Mu saw the figure in light green official uniform behind the case and was happy and said: "My father-in-law, are you busy?"
"Hey, good son-in-law." Bai Nao'er quickly handed over the matters at hand to the clerk beside him and came out. Bai Nao'er is now different from what he used to be. Since he became an official, he seems to be different from the past.
It was as if he had made a break. Everything had gone to the other extreme. It turned out that he was a lowly man, and now he wanted to make himself into a youthful man. If he didn't look at his appearance, but only looked at his demeanor, how could he still be there?
I thought he was a censor!'
The official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were purple for the third rank and above, dark crimson for the fourth rank, light crimson for the fifth rank, dark green for the sixth rank, light green for the seventh rank, dark green for the eighth rank, and light green for the ninth rank. There were embroidery patterns for the seventh rank and above, and nine ranks for the eighth rank.
There is no grade. Bai Nao'er is in the seventh grade, and he happens to have a little tuanhua. It shows his unique identity, he is an official!
He is stingy by nature, and can make fingerprints on a copper coin, but he is not willing to pay for official uniforms. Others made two sets of changes, but he made eight sets in one breath. He did not take off his clothes to sleep in the first few days, but now he is normal
I'm a little bit older, but you still have to wear official uniforms when going to the maokeng. In the houses near Jingdongji, you can always see a light green figure wandering around. No one in the nearby neighborhood knows that he is an official.
Li Mu frowned at him, trembling with cold, and said: "My father-in-law, Mrs. Mudan told me the day before yesterday that the first batch of furs made by her craftsmen gave you two pieces. This city order, why do you
Don’t wear it. Furs are not cheap. They cost dozens of pieces per piece...ah, did you sell them?"
"No way!" Bai Nao'er said quickly: "Xian son-in-law, I am an official now, how could I do such a shameful thing? I keep it at home. I wear it when I sleep at night. When I am on duty during the day, I have to wear official uniform.
ah."
Bai Nao'er said it righteously, and Li Mu had no choice but to wear it when sleeping... It was really creative. Only Bai Nao'er could think of such a thing. Li Mu could probably guess his
He thought that the official uniform was his life, so he couldn't not wear it. But the fur was very expensive and couldn't be sold, so he just wore it. He didn't have time to wear it, so he had to wear it for fun at night.
It’s really a joy to live!
While they were talking, Bai Naoer's successor, Mrs. Wang, came over carrying a basket. She was surrounded by several children, and it was unknown whose family these children belonged to. The weather was already so cold, but they were very thinly dressed. Li Mu glanced at
I took a quick look and saw that several children had no shoes on and were stepping on the ground with bare feet. Thick calluses had been worn out on the soles of their feet, and they seemed to feel no pain.
Several children followed Wang, about one step away, but did not dare to get any closer. When Wang saw them, she showed a look of disgust, but did not say anything. She just quickened her pace, and several helpers saw it.
He walked over to scare these children and drove them away. But they refused to leave and stayed three to five meters away, staring eagerly at the basket slung on Wang's arm.
Li Mu frowned.
What Ms. Wang was wearing was a fur coat made by Wang Ou's craftsmen. It was lambskin with dense velvet. Ms. Wang was short and fat, and she was dressed like a nouveau riche. She walked over and put the basket on the table. This was
Lunch made for Bai Nao'er and others. Bai Nao'er is very conscientious in making market orders now. When he is on duty, he will never go home to eat, which also makes the few helpers under him suffer. They are only a few steps away.
, but you can’t go inside to eat something hot, so you can only eat it with your hands and feet at the entrance of the market.
Because Wang had treated Qiaoqiao harshly, she had always been afraid of Li Mu and Qiaoqiao. However, she later discovered that Qiaoqiao had no intention of retaliating against her. Instead, she was very protective of her son Bai Gensheng. Missing the love between brother and sister, she gradually became more and more aware of Li Mu and Qiaoqiao.
She put down her guard, and when she occasionally came to visit Bai Nao'er, she was always fawning. When she saw Li Mu, she was even more enthusiastic than when she met her biological father. But Li Mu had always been neither salty nor indifferent to him, and she
She is Qiaoqiao's stepmother. Logically, she should be called mother-in-law or mother-in-law, but Li Mu always calls her Wang. The difference in title also shows a little meaning. Qiaoqiao is kind-hearted and does not care about her harsh treatment. But
Li Mu remembered it in his heart. If he didn't pursue it, he wouldn't pursue it, but that didn't mean he had forgotten.
Because of this title issue, Wang has been trembling with fear. Li Mu doesn't care about her. Sometimes, it makes people feel a little afraid, which is not a bad thing.
