When Bai Nao'er saw Manager Zhang leaving angrily, he hurriedly ran out of the house, chased him to the door and saw that he had already got on the carriage. He stamped his feet anxiously and turned around and said, "Xian son-in-law, this is a big shot, what are you doing?"
...Sigh! Even if you don’t want to cooperate, just politely decline and you won’t offend anyone!”
Li Mu was in a bad mood. When he heard this, he frowned and said: "My father-in-law, for Qiaoqiao's sake, I respect you as my father-in-law, but it's not your turn to make the decision in my affairs. What kind of big shot is he? He's just a substitute."
He's just an errand boy. Do I deserve to look down on him? Besides, I've cooperated with the General's Office. You're afraid that I'll offend him, but aren't you afraid that I'll offend the General's Office? A man who has no faith cannot stand, and he has both ends.
It will only hurt yourself. If you don’t like me, I will give you money, and you can open a wine shop back in Mayi. You can do business with whomever you want, and I promise not to say no!"
After saying that, Li Mu didn't care about Bai Nao'er's expression and went back to his room. Bai Nao'er was choked and his face turned red and white, and his fingers were trembling with anger. Then he saw Bai Qiaoqiao passing by.
, Bai Nao'er couldn't help but said: "Look at the good husband you married, contradicting your father! You turned your elbows outward, didn't you listen?"
Bai Qiaoqiao stopped, glanced at Bai Nao'er, and said, "Dad, I think Lang Jun is right. This is the business of the Li family, not the Bai family, and you are too lenient.
Also, you have to remember that this is Dingxiang City, not Mayi. My husband-in-law is the Prime Minister of Dingxiang County, and he has an official status, which is not something you can say casually. As for your daughter and me, my life is miserable.
You can scold me if you want, but don't let your mother-in-law and husband hear it, otherwise you may have trouble coming to the door again!"
"You're a piece of shit!" Bai Nao'er was about to scold her again, but suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Sun coming out of the house. He quickly closed his mouth, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice: "It's getting late, I'll go back first, my in-laws
, free of charge!”
Bai Naoer left in disgrace. Bai Qiaoqiao was worried that Li Mu would be angry, so he brought dinner to the house and explained for a while. Li Mu quickly said that it was okay, and this matter would not make him angry. Besides, even if he was angry, he would
Bai Qiaoqiao has nothing to do with her. Bai Qiaoqiao has a sensitive mind. She was not angry when Li Mu said it, but she took it as an angry comment and was so anxious that she almost cried. In the end, Li Mu resorted to a rogue trick and kissed Bai Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao believed that he was really not angry, which aroused a burst of irritation.
At dawn the next day, Li Mu came to the Yamen and told Li Siwen about the matter. After hearing this, Li Siwen frowned and said: "This Manager Zhang is not something to be afraid of, but if he adds fuel to the fire and gets into the ears of Uncle Guo, it will not be the case."
That's great. I think so, I'll ask my father to write a letter in person and tell Uncle Guo about this matter. Uncle Guo has so many things to do, he shouldn't have time to argue with juniors like us."
Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this and said: "Brother Siwen, is it necessary to mobilize troops like this? Do you need the general to write a letter to explain in person? It's such a simple thing. I cooperate with you first, and he comes to me later.
I can no longer cooperate with him for reasons and reasons. Even if there is no such thing as a cooperation between us, the secret of winemaking is my own, and I can cooperate with whomever I like. I think that goatee looks cunning and I don’t want to cooperate with him.
Isn’t it okay to go back and forth?”
"Don't get excited yet," Li Siwen patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Li'er is so reasonable, but many things are unreasonable. In Chang'an, there are several levels of dandies, let alone in this court.
official. Although my father is a general, his influence in the military can only be considered among the top five. Who is the uncle Guo? He is your majesty’s brother-in-law. When your majesty was still the king of Qin, he served as
His Majesty's plan for major events is Cong Long's number one contribution. Regardless of the officials or military officers, he is the number one person in the dynasty. The year before last, someone wrote a letter saying that he was treason. Your Majesty didn't even ask, and just ordered the person who wrote the letter to be chopped in half.
Oh! Who in the current government can match this level of trust? If you can avoid offending such a person, don't offend him. If you offend him, you will find it difficult to move even in Chang'an. You should understand the principle that a common man is not guilty, but he who possesses a treasure is guilty. Let's
Don't mess with him, just do whatever you have to do, a big shot like him won't take things seriously with us."
Li Mu finally understood that Li Siwen was afraid of Changsun Wuji, and even his father Li Ji was very afraid of Changsun Wuji according to the meaning of his words. Li Mu pursed his lips and said nothing, and after a while, he sighed
, said: "You are right, I understand."
"I knew you could figure it out!" Li Siwen said with a smile.
Li Mu felt a little sad. He thought that after traveling back to the Tang Dynasty, society and human relations would be simpler than in his previous life. But after this incident, he found that he still thought simpler. This is already the Tang Dynasty.
Chinese civilization had reached a peak during the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the Tang Dynasty had already had all the sophistication and conspiracies of later generations. Why do future generations read history books? Is it not to learn how the ancients behaved themselves?
Is there a method? Many things are the same between later generations and the Tang Dynasty. After this incident, Li Mu also secretly warned himself not to underestimate the ancients, otherwise he would definitely suffer.
"Have you found out the identity of the old woman yesterday?"
"Alas!" Li Siwen sighed: "When I mentioned this, I felt blocked. I asked, but she didn't tell me. I couldn't be anxious with her at such an old age. It made me so angry... We sat across from each other.
I stayed up for half the night and didn't ask anything, so I was convinced."
Li Mu looked at him and said, "How did you ask? Just ask directly?"
Li Siwen looked confused and said, "Otherwise? How else can I ask?"
"You are so stupid!" Li Mu stood up and said, "Take me to see them, and within ten words, I will help you find out!"
"Oh, ten sentences? I said a thousand sentences yesterday, but I didn't even ask, and you still have ten sentences... Do you dare to bet that if you ask ten sentences, I will lose you a silver cake, you
If you don’t ask, if you give me a silver cake, do you dare to bet?"
"I dare to bet two hundred silver cakes, just watch."
The two came to the place where the old woman was imprisoned, which was the same room where Bai Naoer was imprisoned that day. Li Mu looked in through the crack in the door and saw that the old woman was teaching the child to write. Although there was no paper and pen,
The child was holding a small wooden stick and scratching on the ground very carefully. Such a scene would never happen in an ordinary family. The literacy rate in this era is very low. There are not many women who can read, let alone teach people to read.
Women from ordinary families cannot do this.
Li Mu glanced at Li Siwen, took the key from his hand, opened the door and walked in.
Hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked, the old woman raised her head and saw that it was Li Mu. She stretched out her hand to give the child a hand and greeted Li Mu.
Li Mu squinted his eyes, stared at the old woman for a long time, and said: "There is no need to hide it, I already know who you are!"
