Wang Pu complimented him for a while and said many unintentional words, but he finally calmed down the matter. He had finished drinking a cup of tea, and Li Mu seemed tired. Wang Pu knew that if he didn't speak again, he would be expelled.
.
"Master Hou,"
"Huh?" Li Mu glanced at Wang Pu and said leisurely: "Brother Wang, I remember that you once said to me that you were willing to be my oxen and horses, but I just thought about it, why does it seem that I have become your Taiyuan Wang family?
If you say something I don’t like to hear at this time, I will probably fall out, so you should be careful when you speak."
Wang Pu's open mouth closed again. He knew very well that Li Mu would not like what he wanted to say.
But if I don't say anything, I don't know how to explain it to the king when I go back.
Wang Pu couldn't help but feel very angry, "Brother, brother, what are you trying to do? If you do as I say, nothing will happen. Look at what has made things difficult for me. Not to mention being a bull and a horse, now I am pretending to be a grandson."
No one takes it seriously!
Li Mu sneered and said: "Brother Wang, there is a common truth in things in this world. This truth is that if you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished and suffer losses. If you do something wrong, you don't want to suffer losses.
Then let me ask you, who will bear this loss? Me?"
"Go back and tell that stupid brother of yours! I don't have to pursue the matter this time, but it's no longer possible to still want the profits I mentioned in the first place. Since you don't do what I say, you just can't trust me. You can't trust me."
, what else can you say? I have done my best by not stirring up this matter in front of His Majesty. Now His Majesty Long Yan is furious, and Guan Long is looking at you with eager eyes. Do you still expect me to speak for you? What have I done! You really treat me as a human being.
A cow or a horse?"
Wang Pulian said he didn't dare.
Li Mu continued: "I will send someone to deliver the road construction regulations to your house in a few days. From now on, I may not have any cooperation with the Wang family in Taiyuan. Even if there is, Wang will never be involved.
If he participates, I will withdraw. I will leave the words here and you can decide what to do."
"Master Hou"
"see a visitor out!"
Li Mu stood up, and Wang Pu reached out to grab Li Mu's sleeve, but was blocked by Li Chongyi and failed. Wang Pu stamped his feet anxiously, trying to get around Li Chongyi, but Li Mu had already walked away.
"Big man, you!"
"Huh?" Li Chongyi glared and said in a low voice: "You called me Big Man too? Don't I have a name? Xiao Niuma, I really shame you!"
After saying that, Li Chongyi reached out and grabbed Wang Pu's collar, picked him up and walked to the door, where he threw him directly to the ground, then slammed the door and closed the door.
Wang Pu was so angry that he turned red in the face and stood in front of the gate of Zhuluhou Mansion, but in the end he did not dare to curse loudly. He stamped his feet fiercely, got on the carriage and left.
Li Mu returned to the back house, sorted out his mood, and quickly adjusted himself.
In fact, building roads or not, making money or not, are not very important things to him. Doing or not doing this matter will not have a great impact on him. In contrast, what he values more
It is the harmony of the home.
After having been busy with external matters and internal matters for so long, it’s time to deal with them.
Li Mu called Xiaozhu over and told him that today he would eat in the dining hall with his servants and ask the cook to add more dishes. He would have a good time today. Xiaozhu happily accepted the order and left. Li Mu arrived
In the studio, he worked on improving his proficiency in [Mechanism Technique] for a while. After about half an hour, Xiaozhu came over to invite him. Li Mu put down the parts in his hands and went to the canteen where the servants usually eat.
Li Mu rarely comes here. Although he is not a very arrogant person, he is the master of this mansion after all. When Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien are at home, he usually eats in the back house. When he is busy,
, I occasionally eat in the studio, and almost never eat in the canteen.
The servants were also very nervous about Li Mu's arrival. They were mainly worried about why Li Mu suddenly came to the servants' dining hall to eat. Could it be that the food expenses were too high and the Marquis was coming to check?
The servants have this kind of suspicion because of their inner fear. In terms of the current average living standard in the Tang Dynasty, the servants of Zhuluhou Mansion are about equal to the county magistrate of Mayi County. Even the county magistrate of Mayi County,
It is impossible to have meat to eat every day, but Zhuluhou Mansion kills a sheep every day. To put it a bit arrogantly, the servants are a little tired of eating mutton now.
This kind of living standard is obviously not what the servants should enjoy, so the servants feel uneasy.
But Li Mu didn't think about these things at all. In his mind, people should eat better. Just like the game company he worked for in his previous life that "creates happiness with heart", although the external reviews are mixed, but the work meal
This area is definitely a benchmark in the industry.
Four meals a day, unlimited supply. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night snacks, you can come to the company cafeteria anytime, anywhere, and you will have something to eat. In the words of the boss, most employees cannot go to the company specifically for a meal.
Since he can eat this working meal, it means that he is busy at work. What does it mean to provide some food to people who are busy at work or even working overtime? How much money will it cost if they eat it openly? Compared with the value created, it is not at all
Worth mentioning.
Li Mu had the same idea. Although these servants could not create any value for him, they were destined to meet each other under the same roof. Li Mu was a time traveler. He was like a duckweed in this world and had no roots.
I thought my mother was my root, but I didn’t expect that the relationship between mother and child was not biological. Thinking of this, I felt desolate in my heart. I was an orphan in my last life, so what’s the difference in this life?
There is no blood relationship with Sun, so Sun's 'adoptive mother' is the same as the old dean in the previous life. In Li Mu's previous life, the old dean was his adoptive father.
There are no relatives, even in two lifetimes, there are no relatives.
In this life, I originally recognized a foster brother and by the way got a cheap adoptive father. Unexpectedly, not long after I recognized him, both the adopted brother and the foster father were thousands of miles away.
Sometimes when he couldn't sleep at night, Li Mu would wonder if he had committed a crime against the evil star, which was why he lived like this. But he never complained about anything, because Li Mu always felt that life was like a game.
When you create an account, the initial attributes are randomly generated. There is no way around it. Do you think you will die just because your initial attributes are not good?
You still have to live your life!
However, I was really unlucky. I 'repracticed' again, and the initial attributes were still random and messy.
The status of an orphan made Li Mu live a very cautious life in his previous life because he could not afford the price of failure. When ordinary people fail in something, their parents or relatives and friends will come to comfort them. At worst, they have to start over from scratch. If one person helps, the crisis will be over.
But Li Mu can't do it. He has no parents, no relatives, and no one can count on him.
As for friends, Li Mu has always been the target of discrimination since he was a child. Before graduating from college, he had no friends. In the social environment of his previous life, making friends had to be a good match. Children from rich families.
, how many people would be true friends with a child from a poor family? Let alone an orphan, with no connections and no money. How can we be friends if we all have a dinner together and you can’t even afford a AA package?
It wasn't until he graduated from college and started working and was able to make money that Li Mu had a few "fair-weather friends".
In fact, at this stage, Li Mu is already qualified to make friends. But at this time, it is difficult for him to trust a person. He cannot tell whether a person is good to him because of him or because of someone attached to him.
There are other conditions in this person. Therefore, several of his relationships ended in failure.
Although the reasons for the breakup are different, in the final analysis, Li Mu himself has his own reasons. He cannot open his heart completely like an ordinary person. Because he is afraid of getting hurt, is too cautious, and always subconsciously 'reserves' a little for himself, unable to
Be fully immersed and devote yourself wholeheartedly. Sometimes love is just a little bit off.
It's not that Li Mu doesn't understand these principles, but he can't correct them. In his previous life, the only person who made him feel that everything was worth it was the old dean, but the old dean has passed away. Apart from the old dean, even
For all his girlfriends, he didn't think that this person was worth all he had to give. Because only he himself knew how unfair it was that he came out of that dilapidated orphanage and lived like a human until he was twenty-eight years old.
easy.
After coming to this world, the most lucky thing for Li Mu was the existence of Bai Qiaoqiao.
This is a person he can trust with confidence, a person for whom he will give everything without feeling unworthy. Because Bai Qiaoqiao is devoted to him, 100%.
The existence of Bai Qiaoqiao made Li Mu feel that there was still a little sunshine in his life. Especially after knowing that Sun was not his 'biological mother', this feeling became stronger.
This is something that neither Li Zhien nor Wang Ou can replace.
Regardless of whether it is Li Zhien or Wang Ou, Li Mu can feel that they have reservations with his own limited knowledge. No matter what the reason is, they are not 100%.
Although they love themselves, they all have something more important. When they have to make a choice, they are very likely to betray themselves.
But Bai Qiaoqiao doesn't. Li Mu knows that she is the most important thing in her life.
This difference cannot be explained clearly, but it can be felt and very clear.
Li Mu clearly understands that he is a lonely person. Although he has experienced the coldness of loneliness, he does not mind, within his own ability, letting others who still have the opportunity to feel warm feel the warmth.
The servants in the mansion are the people closest to his life, and he is happy to see them live a happy life. Because of this, the servants of Zhuluhou Mansion can receive the treatment that even he is horrified by today.
Today, Li Mu decided to take a step further.
"cough!"
Gathering everyone's attention, Li Mu said, "It's been three or four months since everyone came to my house, right?"
Everyone should be.
Li Mu nodded and asked again: "Are you living happily?"
Xiaozhu met Li Mu more often on weekdays and became relatively familiar with each other. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, then motioned for her to speak on behalf of Li Mu. Xiaozhu knew Li Mu’s personality and did not feel afraid, saying: "Master Hou, everyone is here
In the house, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, so of course you can live happily.”
"No!" Li Mu said solemnly: "You are not truly happy."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them understood the meaning of Li Mu's words. Wei Yingluo and Pearl, who were sitting at the end, were equally confused. How could having food and clothing be not true happiness?
Real happiness?
"You are all the children of your parents. Some of you, like the concierge Lao Zhao, should be the father of your children. I brought you back from the Jiaofang Division. You have lived a comfortable life, and you have never thought about your parents.
, how are your children doing?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes turned red instantly.
Xiaozhu choked up and said: "Master Hou, how dare we think about it?"
"I know what you are thinking. Let's take Xiaozhu for example. Her father was a petty official who was sentenced to death for dereliction of duty and perversion of the law. He deserved his death. But he harmed Xiaozhu and her mother. Both mother and daughter were charged with crime.
She joined the Jiaofang Division and became an official slave. Xiaozhu had a good life, so she was chosen by me to work as a maid in the mansion, but her mother was cleaning the palace in Yeting Palace. Mother and daughter would never see each other again in this life. Xiaozhu was right.
, she really didn’t dare to think about it, because even thinking about it would be in vain!”
Xiaozhu sobbed and cried.
Li Mu sighed and continued: "Filial piety is the way of human ethics. There are tens of millions of people suffering in the world, and I can't control so many of them. But you, more than twenty people, can be selected by me to become servants in my house.
Even if it is our fate, I promise you today that I will try my best to help you find your relatives, and the scope is limited to blood relatives, provided that he is not a traitor who commits crimes and commits crimes."
"In a situation like Xiaozhu's mother, I will ask the Queen to release her mother from Yeting Palace so that she can reunite with Xiaozhu. Now Xiaozhu has a lot of monthly money, which is enough to support her mother. After that,
In a few years, when Xiaozhu is older, if she has a sweetheart, I will also give her a dowry so that she can marry in style. The same goes for everyone else. As long as there is news about your loved ones, I will do whatever I can to
Within a few days, I will help you find a way to reunite you. This is the promise I, Zhuluhou Li Mu, make to you!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a tear gas bomb was thrown in the canteen. More than 20 people all shed tears. Xiaozhu, who was the first to get the promise, was already reduced to tears. He knelt in front of Li Mu and stopped.
Kowtow constantly.
Li Mu pulled her up and said angrily: "Get up for me, you have done something wrong before you kowtow to apologize. You have done nothing wrong. What are you kowtowing for? Do you have no bones in your knees? What are you crying about? It sounds upset! It's good.
Can't you just have fun with things? Cry, cry, cry! Just let it go if you cry again, wipe away your tears and eat!"
