Li Mu sneezed three times in a row, grabbed the rice paper at hand, crumpled it and blew his nose.
Unfortunately, he caught a cold.
I don't know if it was the evil wind blowing, but when I woke up this morning, my nose started to feel stuffy. My head also had a fever, which frightened Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien. You know, in this era, colds can kill people.
of.
So he quickly asked Dugujiu to invite Sun Simiao over. When Sun Simiao saw him like this, he knew that he had caught the cold. He prescribed a dose of 'Xiao Bupleurum Decoction' and told him to take it every morning and evening. Li Mu just drank it.
After taking the medicine, I was wrapped in a quilt and sweating.
Bai Qiaoqiao originally planned to go to Jingdong Market early in the morning, but was delayed because of Li Mu's affairs. She wanted to stay with Li Mu, but Li Mu was unwilling. As a time traveler, although he did not study medicine, Li Mu also knew about catching colds.
The virus can spread through the air. He was afraid of infecting Bai Qiaoqiao, so he drove the two girls away, and he no longer stayed in the backyard. He was wrapped in a quilt and sat on the rocking chair in the studio, feeling what he should do as a patient.
Some are lonely.
People are very fragile when they are sick. When they have a fever, they are also prone to random thoughts. Li Mu looked at the hammer on the workbench with dull eyes.
"Boss, do you want to eat beef jerky?"
Li Chongyi asked through the door panel. Li Mu had a sore throat and was too lazy to speak, but then he thought that idleness was idleness. He could grind his teeth by eating some beef jerky, so he said 'hmm'.
Li Chongyi opened the door and handed the beef jerky to Li Mu. Li Mu looked up at him and pointed at the door, and then Li Chongyi turned around and went out.
When he was sick, Li Mu wanted to be alone. He threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and fell asleep. He knew nothing about the situation in the outside world, and he had no idea that Eunuch Gao was with him at this time.
A group of people rushed towards Zhuluhou Mansion like wolves and tigers.
At the same time, there was a carriage that had just arrived at the gate of Zhulu Hou Mansion. An old man got off the carriage, put a newspaper in his sleeve, and came to the gate of Hou Mansion. After hesitating several times, he still could not muster the courage.
Knock on the door knocker.
After standing at the door for a long time, the old man sighed, grabbed the door knocker and knocked twice. He thought to himself, if anyone hears him, just go in. If no one hears him, forget it, turn around and go home.
The door creaked open, and Zhao Youcai poked his head out. Seeing an old man, he quickly nodded and said, "Excuse me, are you..."
"I, Kong Yingda, came especially to pay a visit to Zhuluhou."
"Kong, Kong Ying..." Zhao Youcai was surprised. As the concierge of Zhuluhou Mansion, Zhao Youcai knew very well what happened between Li Mu and Kong Yingda. How could Kong Yingda come to the door in person and use the word "visit"
, it’s not normal to put yourself at the bottom and promote Li Mu!
But Zhao Youcai didn't dare to neglect him. Kong Yingda was one of the greatest scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Mu didn't care about him, he still respected him very much for people like Zhao Youcai. Now that Li Mu was infected with the cold, he didn't dare to let people go at will.
He went in and said hurriedly: "Mr. Kong, it is very unfortunate that the Marquis has contracted the cold and is currently recuperating. He does not see outsiders... But since it is you, I will go in and let you know whether I see you or not.
I will decide for myself."
Kong Yingda was already a bit embarrassed, so after hearing this, he seemed to have gotten an excuse, and hurriedly said: "Then I will wait for another day..." Before the words came out, Zhao Youcai had already closed the door and ran back. Kong Yingda sighed and secretly thought about this competition.
The servants of the Hou Mansion also had some of Li Mu's habits. They didn't listen to anyone at all and were very fickle.
Zhao Youcai ran to the door of the studio and saw General Hengha squatting at the door. One was cleaning his sword and the other was eating beef jerky. When they heard his footsteps, they didn't even raise their heads. Zhao Youcai didn't dare to be annoyed.
People, and the two men in front of him are Li Mu's brothers, and they are fundamentally different from him. Zhao Youcai looked at Li Chongyi with trepidation. Relatively speaking, Dugu Jiu looked kinder, walked closer to him, and whispered: "Young Master Dugu
, here comes the visitor.”
Dugujiu raised his head: "Huh?"
"Kong Yingda, he said he came specially to pay a visit to the Marquis."
"oh."
Dugujiu stood up, knocked on the door, and said, "Brother, Kong Yingda is here and wants to visit."
"Kong..." Li Mu was about to fall asleep. When he heard Kong Yingda's name, he immediately became energetic. He knew why Kong Yingda was here. When he was sick, what could be more relaxing than ridiculing his opponent? Immediately.
He sat up straight and said, "Invite him over!"
Zhao Youcai heard this clearly and ran back to the door without any instructions, taking Kong Yingda outside the studio.
Through the door and window, Li Mu saw Kong Yingda's shadow, cleared his throat and said: "Old Kong, I'm sorry, I've caught the cold. I'm afraid I might infect you, so I won't invite you in. What do you want from me?
Just say it like that."
Kong Yingda took a deep breath, clenched and unclenched his fists, unclenched and clenched them again, repeated this several times, and finally felt relieved and said: "Zhuluhou is a great talent, I am convinced! I have read today's newspaper, Zhuluhou
His wonderful theory opened his eyes and made me admire him endlessly. Tomorrow, I will resign from the post of ministering wine in the Imperial College and give it to the Marquis of Zhulu!"
"Hahaha……"
These three laughs were not the laughter that Li Mu was about to make a big move. They were the ones that sounded sick and forced to laugh. But in fact, Li Mu was not that seriously ill. He was pretending to be fake on purpose.
Li Mu said feebly: "Old Kong, I didn't expect you to be so serious and really planning to resign?"
"no sooner said than done!"
"Old Kong!" Li Mu suppressed his laughter and sighed, "Why don't you understand my hard work? Am I writing this article to ridicule you?"
Kong Yingda was so angry that his head was smoking. Aren't you just trying to ridicule me? The last paragraph of your "Teacher's Theory": Kong Yingda, a descendant of Kong Sheng, was fifty-six years old. He liked to be a teacher, but he didn't know how to be a teacher. Ask
Yu Yu. Yu Jia was fond of learning and wrote "Shi Shuo" to learn from him.
You made it so obvious, isn't it sarcastic?
Just as Kong Yingda was about to speak, Li Mu said: "Of course, I can't say that I don't mean to ridicule you at all. But you have to believe me, Lao Kong, ridiculing you is not the point. The point is to make you correct your mistakes. You
Look at my article, from beginning to end, there is not a sentence that is not Confucian thought. You are a descendant of Confucius and Sheng, so naturally you are also a Confucian. But why can't you think of this? This is the difference between genius and mediocrity."
"I can't blame you, Lao Kong. People's talents cannot be chosen. Look at me, I can only read for half a year, and I can only read Confucius and Mencius for three months. But I can read the essence, and you, Lao Kong,
You have been studying Confucius and Mencius for more than fifty years and have gone astray... Oh, how pitiful is that? How pitiful! Woohoo, woof..."
Li Mu was about to laugh out loud when he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps, followed by the sound of drawing a sword. Li Mu couldn't see anything in the room, so he hurriedly asked: "What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?"
Something happened?"
Li Chongyi said in a deep voice: "Boss, this old bastard led troops into our mansion, I will strangle him to death right now!"
"No, it's none of my business..." Kong Yingda was pinched by Li Chongyi, his face turned red, he struggled to say a few words, and he was about to die. Fortunately, Eunuch Gao came over at this time and saw this
After a scene, he quickly said: "Big man, stop it, do you want to kill someone?!"
Li Chongyi frowned when he saw Eunuch Gao. He knew Eunuch Gao and had met him many times. When he saw him, he knew that the soldier was not brought by Kong Yingda. He released his hand and blocked the studio with the giant axe.
At the door, Dugu Jiu was also blocked behind him, with the aura of one man standing in front of ten thousand others.
When Li Mu heard Eunuch Gao's voice, he stood up and opened the door of the studio. Seeing so many soldiers and horses outside, he felt panicked. Could it be that his identity as a time traveler was exposed and he was killed?
When Eunuch Gao saw Li Mu wearing a quilt, he was startled and said, "Master Hou, what's going on?"
Li Mu felt relieved when he heard the word "Master Hou". If the identity of the time traveler was revealed, Eunuch Gao would definitely not have this attitude. Since the identity was not revealed, Li Mu had nothing to fear. He coughed twice and
The quilt was tightened tightly and he said: "It turns out to be Eunuch Gao... Eunuch Gao, what are you doing? Are you bringing so many soldiers here to raid my home? I, Li Mu, have offended you. My father-in-law actually wants to put me at risk."
Death place?"
"Oops!" Eunuch Gao hurried over, but when he saw Li Mu coughing, he didn't dare to get close. He stood about five meters away and said, "Master Marquis misunderstood, it's not our family who wants to bring troops, it's your Majesty."
Someone sent us here to impeach you. Mr. Marquis, you don’t seem to look well, what’s wrong?”
"Blessings never come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly. I have just been diagnosed with brain disease, and now I am infected with cold! I may be finished and about to die!" Li Mu coughed again and sighed: "I will be impeached today, and I will be impeached tomorrow too.
Who did I offend? I provoked a group of mad dogs to bite me! Alas! Now I am seriously ill and I don’t know how long I can live. Why don’t these people let me go? God..."
Seeing Li Mu like this, Eunuch Gao felt a little unsure. On the way here, he actually believed what Lu Zhilin and Wei Zheng said. But when he saw Li Mu like this, it was obvious that he had contracted the wind and cold. First it was a brain disease, then the wind and cold.
It's really unlucky.
Kong Yingda, who had just taken a breath, heard this and reflexively wanted to expose Li Mu. He was dying. When Li Mu was sarcastic just now, he didn't look like he was dying at all. Seeing how he is pretending now, he is clearly lying.
!
Just as he was about to speak, Li Chongyi glared at him, and he quickly held back his words in a desperate attempt to survive.
"Master Marquis, our family is also following orders. Now Lu Yushi said that you filled his carriage with a dung cart and splashed dung all over him. He also... ate a piece. Zheng Guogong also said that you not only kidnapped
He stole his daughter and stole his dinner... His Majesty Long Yan was furious and asked me to bring someone over. Firstly, he asked you to confront him in the palace, and secondly, he also searched Zhuluhou Mansion to see if Duke Wei
