Ergou took the money and went to do some errands. Li Mu looked at General Hengha at the door and said, "You two are going for a walk too?"
Dugujiu didn't react and said: "Brother, I can just stand here while you talk about yours."
Li Mu coughed.
Li Chongyi stretched out his hand to grab Dugujiu's neck collar and carried him out. Li Mu stretched his neck and shouted: "Remember to buy two kilograms of candied fruits, Zhien wants to eat them."
"oh!"
Li Zhongyi replied firmly, he was always not so happy when buying things for Li Zhien.
The light bulb was sent away. Li Mu closed the door, turned around and went to hug Wang Ou. Wang Ou glanced at Li Mu and stretched out his arms to hug him. Li Mu pouted and wanted to kiss him, but Wang Ou held out his hand to block him.
"What are you doing?" Li Mu showed a displeased look, and Wang Ou quickly touched his lips and coaxed: "Lang, after all, this is not our own place. There are many people, and if others see it, we will end up..."
No. If you want to get close to the slave family, let’s change places."
"Change somewhere?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible to change the place, but there's just no suitable place."
Wang Ou stretched out his hand and pointed to the house next to him and said, "Lang, what do you think there is?"
"This house is quite nice, but if I remember correctly, there should be someone living here. What, you bought it?"
Wang Ou nodded and said: "This house was originally given to Duke Lai by His Majesty. However, Duke Lai has never lived in it and it has been left vacant. Now that Duke Lai is seriously ill, he sold the house. I have to
Knowing the news, I bought it through an intermediary."
Li Mu wondered: "Why did Lai Guogong sell his house when he was seriously ill? Doesn't he have money for medical treatment?"
Wang Ou said: "Mang, Mr. Lai Guo has been favored by the emperor and received countless rewards. How can he not have money for medical treatment? This is the case. If Lai Guo Duke dies of illness, according to the system, his eldest son will inherit the title, but he must observe filial piety for three years.
Only then can he become an official. The extra mansions are sold off, firstly to reduce expenses, and secondly because if Prime Minister Du dies, the power of Lai Guogong's lineage will be greatly damaged. It is impossible for a house with such a good location not to be coveted. Many
It’s better to have less than one thing at a time. If you sell it early, you can save worry.”
Li Mu had no doubt that with him, the houses in Chang'an were not very nervous nowadays. Many houses, like those where the street children in Guangdefang lived, were vacant. This was related to the turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty, although
More than ten years have passed, but today's Chang'an City is not as prosperous as one-third of what it was during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and the population is not as large as that time, so naturally there is a lot of idle space.
Sometimes Li Shimin wanted to reward ministers, but when he had no money, he would just reward a few houses wherever there was open space. Usually the recipients didn't like this kind of reward, because most of these houses had not been there for more than ten years.
People have lived in it, and now if they want to live in it, they have to make some repairs. This is all money!
The house Wang Ou bought needs to be renovated if he wants to live in it. This matter is very simple. Li Mu said hello at the Ministry of Works and asked Yu Wengui to send a team over. Anyway, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works are idle now.
Nothing to do.
I have to say that Wang Ou does know how to choose a place.
Li Mu would come to the heaven and earth to sit there when he had nothing to do, so no one would be surprised if he appeared here. For future trysts, Li Mu would only need to enter the heaven and earth through the main entrance, and then go to Wang Ou's house through the side door, and stay as long as he wanted.
Stay for as long as you want and come out whenever you want. Others will just think that Li Mu is in heaven and on earth.
The more Li Mu thought about it, the happier he became. He held Wang Ou in his arms and kissed her. He took out the perfume and soap specially prepared for Wang Ou from his arms and explained it to her. Wang Ou quickly followed Li Mu's instructions and applied a little perfume on her wrist.
, I sniffed it gently, it was the fragrance of peonies, I liked it very much.
But when I thought that these two treasures were invented by Li Mu in order to open a shop for Bai Qiaoqiao, I felt a little bit disgusted.
Li Mu noticed the change in her expression and thought to himself, women are women, and women are jealous. Even if she knew there was no need to drink the jealousy, she still had to smell it.
"Angry?"
Wang Ou shook his head, twisted his body, and said: "The slave family is just an outhouse of the Marquis. How can I be angry or envious? I think the Marquis will not spend such thoughts on the slave family."
"Ouch," Li Mu teased, "I just called you 'Lang' so affectionately, and now I've become 'Mou Ye' again. Isn't this angry?"
Wang Ou was still arrogant and said: "No."
"How could I forget you?" Li Mu took out another thing from his arms, which was a folded piece of paper. This piece of paper was a sketch drawn by Li Mu. Li Mu handed the sketch over and said:
"I remember you have a silk shop, this is just right for you."
"What?" Wang Ou took it curiously, unfolded the paper and took a look. He immediately blushed and threw it on the table, yelling: "What is this? It's so embarrassing."
"This is called a new style of bellyband." Li Mu reached out and pointed at the picture on the paper and explained to Wang Ou: "Look here, there are two straps. Their function is to hold up a woman's breasts and make her curves more exquisite.
, is the gospel for flat-chested girls and a weapon for married young women..."
Wang Ou blushed with shame and said, "What are you talking about? Stop talking."
Li Mu had no choice but to shut up. He looked at Wang Ou and suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "Whether you can make it or not and sell it as goods... Why don't you make one and put it on first and let me see it?"
"Huh," Wang Ou rolled his eyes at Li Mu. He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either.
Li Mu laughed and stopped teasing. He picked up the pen on the table, unfolded a piece of rice paper, and started writing.
Wang Ou folded Li Mu's sketch and put it away. Seeing that Li Mu was moving his pen quickly, he came over to take a look. Li Mu's handwriting was still terrible, but it was not unrecognizable. At first, Wang Ou only thought that Li Mu was writing.
Advertisement, but after watching it for a while, the expression on his face became serious.
Li Mu is actually making a fuss.
In this era, writing an article is a big deal. The composition here refers to writing an 'argumentative essay'. It is not a novel, which tells a story. It is not a poem, which expresses emotions. An article explains a truth and solves a problem.
It's a question of 'why'.
The so-called sage's words are such articles. The imperial examinations also require such articles, which are called "strategies".
The key point lies in one word!
This article written by Li Mu discusses the way of being a teacher.
I saw Li Mu slowly writing: No noble, no humble, no long, no young, where the Tao exists, where the teacher exists...
Wang Ou looked at the words written by Li Mu, then looked up at him, and his heartbeat began to speed up again.
Li Mu's poems have captured her heart. Now she discovered that Li Mu's articles were also so good. She was originally worried that Li Mu would suffer a loss in the imperial examination. Now it seems that a genius is a genius, not only good at poetry, but also
His policy analysis is also unmatched. Based on this sentence, if you look around the world, no one can match him.
Wang Ou looked at Li Mu with increasingly gentle eyes, and without Li Mu's instructions, he voluntarily helped him polish the ink. Li Mu glanced at her and said nothing. He finally understood why the ancients regarded "red sleeves add fragrance" as a symbol of life.
It's a pleasure. When I study, there is no one around to take care of me. It's really not a good feeling.
Suddenly thinking of what he had ordered Ergou to do, Li Mu couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.
It's almost time, and it's time for that bullshit censor named Lu Zhilin to leave the censorship.
Soon, he will also enjoy the fun of ‘adding fragrance’.
Night fragrance is also fragrant!
Although Lu Zhilin failed to defeat Li Mu today, he did not feel disappointed. Because he dared to challenge Li Mu, he had already made himself famous in Yushitai. And because Wei Zheng did not stand up to support, Shandong in Yushitai
The imperial censors who came from aristocratic families had quite a bit of criticism towards Wei Zheng. They believed that he only cared about personal affairs and did not care about the righteousness. In the afternoon, when he was on duty, many people came to see Lu Zhilin and expressed their admiration for his bravery. Faintly,
Lu Zhilin is already the most popular figure in Yushitai besides Wei Zheng, the imperial censor.
If this continues, he, the supervisory censor, may have to make a move during the civil service exams a year ago. Ever since the censor Zhongcheng Zhao Qing impeached Li Mu and was exiled to Lingnan, there will be one less censor Zhongcheng in the censorship.
, Lu Zhilin would never dare to think about it, but now it seems that he can think about it.
The wheels of the carriage pressed against the bluestone pavement, making a squeaking sound, and they arrived at the door of their home. Suddenly the carriage slowed down. Lu Zhilin frowned and asked the coachman: "Why did it slow down?
"
"Speaking to me, sir, there is a car carrying night fragrance in front of me."
"Yexiang car?"
Night fragrance means 'feces'. In ancient times, wooden barrels were used to carry feces, and they needed to be emptied after filling. Therefore, there would be special personnel to collect feces from the toilets of each house in the middle of the night. Because it was done at night, the feces had a smell.
, it is called night fragrance.
Lu Zhilin opened the curtain and looked out. Sure enough, there was a night fragrance car in front of him.
Lu Zhilin quickly covered his nose with his sleeves. He has a small problem, he loves to be clean. And he is not an ordinary clean person. When he is on duty, he has to bring two sets of clothes. He wears court clothes when he goes to court, and a different set when he goes to court.
.It would be terrible if you sweat on your body. Can you still wear sweat-soaked clothes? You have to throw them away!
How could Lu Zhilin bear it when a dung truck came towards him?
"What's going on with this night-scent car? It must be night-time. It's not dark yet. Why... hurry up and avoid it."
The coachman responded and drove the carriage a little to the right.
The two cars were getting closer and closer. Lu Zhilin also smelled the smell and felt sick in his stomach. He kept urging the coachman to hurry up. The coachman had no choice but to swish his horsewhip tightly and look at the two cars.
They were about to miss it, but they were about to miss it. Suddenly, the donkey of the Yexiang cart let out a roar. Soon enough, the Yexiang cart overturned. Lu Zhilin watched helplessly as a huge wooden barrel came towards him.
Turning it upside down, a whole bucket of feces was poured into his car. There was feces and urine everywhere on his face and body.
