In order to get the bearing as soon as possible, Li Mu woke up early and came to the studio to process the parts to gain proficiency in [Mechanism Technique].
The process of gaining proficiency is boring and boring. It is done mechanically. When the stamina is empty, just chew some beef jerky and take a break.
In order to facilitate the production of bearings, the drawings used by Li Mu for leveling are all the parts needed in the bearing. In this way, after he reaches the intermediate level, he can assemble the bearings directly with the parts without wasting time.
"Husband."
The door creaked open, and Bai Qiaoqiao walked in apologetically. Li Mu had just finished finishing a part, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he paused and ignored it.
"Husband, it's time to have breakfast."
"snort!"
"Husband, I know I was wrong." Qiaoqiao came up behind Li Mu, gently hugged his neck, and coaxed into his ear: "I cooked the porridge myself today, your husband's favorite drink."
Li Mu kept working on his hands and said sourly: "I'm afraid you didn't make porridge for me, right?"
"Of course it's porridge for my husband."
"Isn't it for your dear sister Tianai?"
Bai Qiaoqiao held back her laughter, shook her head, and said, "It's just porridge cooked for my husband. I just cooked a little more. It would be a pity to throw away the rest. Let's share some with them."
"Humph, you are treating me like a child." Li Mu threw the prepared spring into the box next to him and sighed: "The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. No matter where the innocent and kind-hearted woman was, she will now deceive her husband.
"
"Husband is really angry?" Bai Qiaoqiao walked around to Li Mu and looked at his face carefully. His expression became a little unnatural: "Husband is not angry, is he? Are you trying to scare me?"
"angry!"
Li Mu dropped the copper wire in his hand, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Madam, judging from your performance yesterday, I have reason to suspect that there is a problem between you and Zhang Tian'ai!"
Bai Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and said blankly: "What's the problem?"
"You two must have the 'goodness of Fengyin'!"
Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't understand what Li Mu meant and looked at him blankly.
"As expected, my head is full of these things!"
Zhang Tianai's voice came from behind. Li Mu turned around to see her and said angrily: "You are allowed to steal my wife, but you are not allowed to say it to me? Girl, you are too overbearing! I let you go yesterday, otherwise you think that you
Will he be my opponent?"
"Humph!" Zhang Tianai did not answer his question and sneered in return.
Li Mu suddenly felt that his pride had been challenged. He stood up and glared at her, saying, "Have you seen my two younger brothers? I won't talk about the big one. You can't beat him for sure. Have you seen the new younger brother?"
His name is Dugu Jiu, the best swordsman in Chang'an, I won't accept the competition!"
Zhang Tianai glanced at him and said, "What do you do with me and others? If you have the ability, do it yourself?"
"Afraid!" Li Mu did not respond, pointed at Zhang Tianai and said to Bai Qiaoqiao: "Madam, have you seen that this is the woman you like? She is afraid and does not dare to compete with my little brother!"
Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh, but she still nodded in a very condescending way and said coaxingly: "My husband is the most powerful."
Zhang Tianai blocked Li Mu's arm and said, "I'm talking about you. Otherwise, I'll give you one hand..."
"Stop talking!" Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Those who can't even deal with my younger brother are not qualified to be my opponents. Besides, my attacks are too ruthless. If I don't take action, I will kill someone if I do.
.Although you are a little annoying, a little arrogant, a little rude, and you have repaid kindness with revenge, you are not a bad person after all. I don’t want to take your life, so I will spare you this time.”
After saying that, Li Mu looked at Zhang Tianai with great disdain, hugged Qiaoqiao into his arms, raised his chin and said: "Behave yourself from now on, my woman, stay away!"
Zhang Tianai gave him a big look. Who can do anything to deal with such a person who 'forces victory'?
"Yesterday Qiaoqiao came to follow me...forget it! I'm too lazy to tell you, just think whatever you want." Zhang Tianai pulled out a letter from his arms and threw it to Li Mu, saying: "That brother of yours asked me to
A letter for you."
Li Mu took the letter in his hand and suddenly laughed.
Zhang Tianai frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing at you!" Li Mu took a step back and hid behind Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Are you wearing the new bellyband I designed? It's still so flat after wearing it, aren't you desperate?"
Zhang Tianai glanced down subconsciously, and immediately understood what Li Mu meant. He wanted to draw his sword, but he didn't bring the sword with him. When he saw the hammer on the workbench, he reached out and picked it up.
"I kill you!"
"Qiaoqiao, help!"
"God loves my sister"
Taking advantage of Qiaoqiao to grab Zhang Tianai, Li Mu ran out of the door and ran away: "Who cares about you? I went to drink the porridge made by my wife. Just wait and drink the rest!"
Zhang Tianai was so angry that he threw away the hammer in his hand and said angrily: "Sister Qiaoqiao, look at what he looks like. He is already seventeen years old, and with the crown, he is an adult. How come he still looks like an adult?"
He's just like a child! He's lustful and childish, why do you just like him, and you still persuade me to do the same?"
Zhang Tianai stamped his feet and said angrily: "Even if I really can't get married in this life, I still admit it and will never marry him!"
Qiaoqiao was not annoyed and said: "Sister Tianai, you have a prejudice against your husband, that's why you can't see his good qualities. In fact, my husband is not as good as you think. He is really good to me."
"You are just stupid."
Zhang Tianai said angrily, turned around and walked out: "I'm going to the front yard to eat, and I won't drink the rest of his porridge!"
Bai Qiaoqiao shook her head and did not try to persuade her. She bent down to pick up the hammer from the ground, put it back to its original place, and went back to the back house to have dinner with Li Mu.
…
Last night, Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai talked all night. When it was almost dawn, the two of them went to bed. The two sisters had not seen each other for several months. During this period, a lot of things happened. Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai
He said it. He also explained Zhien’s matter and resolved Zhang Tianai’s prejudice against Li Mu.
During the conversation, Bai Qiaoqiao mentioned the upcoming store opening in JD.com. When it came to the store, Wang Ou naturally could not escape. Although Zhang Tianai had met Wang Ou and had a good impression of Wang Ou, but after hearing Bai Qiaoqiao
When talking about the store they built on the street, their impression plummeted and they were filled with indignation.
Bai Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to mention Zhang Tianai's life events, saying that she was not too young, and if there was no good match, she would marry her to Li Mu, so that the sisters could get along day and night.
Zhang Tianai guessed what Bai Qiaoqiao meant. Although Bai Qiaoqiao didn't say it clearly, Mrs. Peony's behavior must be related to Li Mu. Bai Qiaoqiao wanted her to marry Li Mu, part of which was for her life.
Considering that the other part must also be to consolidate his position and keep this Mrs. Peony out.
Hearing this proposal, Zhang Tianai was actually tempted for a moment. Because when she returned to Zhangjiazhai this time, she also faced the dilemma of forced marriage. Her father Zhang Xun told her that he would tolerate her for another half year at most.
When you find a good match, you have to take the initiative and compete for her in Zhangjiazhai to find a bride.
If she doesn't like the son of Zhangjiazhai, there is another way. There is a small country in the Western Regions called Gaochang. It is separated from Zhangjiazhai by a desert. It turns out that Zhangjiazhai smuggled the most goods from the Tang Dynasty, except for the Turkic nobles.
In addition to the buyers, there are the nobles of the Gaochang Kingdom. There is a prince in the Gaochang Kingdom named Zhisheng, who has just reached the marriageable age. Zhang Xun has known Ju Wentai, the current king of Gaochang, for many years. When the Uighurs and other tribes besieged Gaochang a few years ago,
He also led the horse bandits in Zhangjiazhai to assist him, which is considered old. If he writes a letter, Ju Wentai will give him the honor and ask his son to accept Zhang Tianai as his concubine.
Although he cannot be the main wife, it is still a good home. And with this marriage relationship, it is equivalent to preparing a way out for Zhangjiazhai. Once the Tang Dynasty sends troops to clear Zhangjiazhai, the people of Zhangjiazhai will
You can cross the desert and settle in the Gaochang Kingdom. This is not the traditional sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, and it is separated by a large desert. The cost of sending troops is too high, so Zhangjiazhai can escape the disaster.
Zhang Tianai had never had any feelings for the son of Zhangjiazhai. Listening to his father's words, he felt that his father actually wanted her to marry the prince of Gaochang, but he didn't say it explicitly. Zhang Tianai also knew in his heart,
As the daughter of the leader of Zhangjiazhai, she should make sacrifices for the entire village, so in her heart, she had actually accepted her fate.
But when I was about to agree, for some reason, there seemed to be a voice in my heart asking myself, could it be that this is how it will be in this life?
Chang'an!
The majestic city walls of Chang'an flashed through her mind. Zhang Tianai did not tell her decision, but told her father Zhang Xun that she would go to Chang'an again to find a way to solve the problem in Zhangjiazhai. If she couldn't do it, she would die in half a year.
She will come back.
The words were not said clearly, but Zhang Xun already understood the meaning. Before talking to his daughter, he had already met Lao Hu and others who went to Chang'an with Zhang Tian'ai, and knew that his daughter met a marquis in Chang'an, and their relationship was
, seems to be very close.
Zhang Xun agreed without any hesitation. After all, for Zhangjiazhai, in terms of backing, there is still no comparison between the Prince of Gaochang and the Marquis of Tang Dynasty. Gaochang is nothing. Although it is called a country, its power and
The military strength is not even comparable to that of a Zhechong Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. And if the Tang Dynasty is a marquis, which one does not have outstanding military achievements? When leading the army, there are at least three or five Zhechong Prefectures under his command!
If his daughter can open up a new situation in Chang'an, the crisis in Zhangjiazhai may be solved. Also, as a father, he also wants his daughter to find a good home. Gaochang, a land of aliens and barbarians, how can he be with the barbarians?
Compared to the Tang Dynasty with its abundant treasures and outstanding people?
Zhang Xun knew in his heart that this was his daughter's last chance to make a desperate move. He gave him the greatest support within his ability. The goods he brought to Chang'an this time were three times the last time. In addition, he also asked Zhang Tian'ai to
He brought a box of treasures. This box of treasures was obtained by him through various means over the years. Every item is a treasure. He originally wanted to put it in the coffin and take it away after death, but now he has taken it all.
Come out and let Zhang Tianai find a way to sell it, and the money obtained will be used to smoothen the relationship.
There was a tacit understanding between father and daughter. Zhang Xun thought he had guessed his daughter's thoughts, but he didn't know what Zhang Tianai had in mind. She was full of contradictions.
Does she like Li Mu?
Reason told her that she would not like such a person. But she could not deny that she had an inexplicable feeling for this person in her heart.
All the way back to Zhangjiazhai from Chang'an, she was wondering why she was angry with Li Mu. The final answer she came up with was that she was actually jealous.
How ridiculous!
Therefore, when Bai Qiaoqiao made this proposal, Zhang Tianai felt a little happy in his heart. Since he couldn't get married anyway, she might as well marry him, at least he wouldn't hate her that much.
His heart, which was already about to move, calmed down after what happened in the morning. Zhang Tianai found that he still couldn't accept Li Mu's character. Why couldn't he be more mature and steady?
What girl doesn't have a child?
Although Zhang Tianai is no longer considered a girl at her age, she came here when she was a girl, so it’s not like she hasn’t thought about her future husband.
She wanted to find a general who was galloping on the battlefield, invincible in all directions, with a red horse, a silver spear, and a banner. But she had never met such a person. Thinking of Li Mu, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he was a little brave and a little smart, he had also faced
Thousands of Turkic soldiers guarded the city, but they were only a thousand people after all. They were far from the general she had in mind.
Zhang Tianai sighed and thought to himself. Forget it, don't think about it anymore, just stay in Chang'an for half a year and go back to marry that prince of Gaochang. Who wants to be a daughter in this life? This is the best decision for his father and the village.
Already.
…
Back house.
After Li Mu checked the paint, he opened the envelope and took out Li Siwen's letter. Li Zhien held a bowl next to him, cooled a spoonful of porridge, and fed it to his mouth. Li Mu opened his mouth and ate. Bai Qiaoqiao picked up another piece.
When the side dish was handed over, Li Mu tilted his head and ate it in one bite.
When there are wives and concubines around, Li Mu is like a disabled person, lazy as much as he can.
Before he read the content, Li Mu's eyebrows wrinkled.
When did Li Siwen practice his calligraphy? It turned out to be pretty good. He remembered that when he was in Dingxiang, Li Siwen's calligraphy was not very good.
After three days of farewell, everyone was in awe. It had only been so long, but my younger brother had made such progress. Li Mu was pleased, but at the same time he felt a little ashamed. No, he had to practice calligraphy! That day at the Chongwen Hall, Li Mu shouted, "Please write."
Ouyang Xun, who was named "Kaiyuan Tongbao", became his teacher, and Li Shimin agreed. However, Li Mu never came to visit, so the matter was shelved. Now that he remembered this matter, Li Mu planned to go to the palace to deliver the mirror later.
Turn around and take a look. If Ouyang Xun is here, ask him for some copybooks and practice at home.
Li Zhien cooled down another spoonful and fed it to him. Li Mu opened his mouth to eat it and began to read Li Siwen's letter.
[Brother, Huang Qi has arrived with people and food safety. The wine shop has been built. By the time you receive the letter, the wine will be ready. Many people from Zhangjiazhai have come to live in Dingxiang. I will give you
They allocated a piece of land and they were all very happy. Gensheng wanted to know about his parents. Please send a letter home. I taught him how to read. He already knew them a lot, and...]
