Li Mu noticed that when Li Chongyi said the word "kill", his eyes began to turn red with bloodshot eyes, and he knew in his heart how deep the trauma in this child's heart was.
In his previous life, he had heard a word called stress reaction. In Li Chongyi's situation, this was probably the case.
"Hey!" Li Mu suddenly patted Li Chongyi on the shoulder and said, "As for revenge or something, as your eldest brother, I naturally support you, but there is a prerequisite, you must listen to me!"
"Of course I listen to Big Brother!" Li Chongyi said without hesitation.
"I'm not asking you to listen to me. I'm talking about this premise. Why can't you keep your mind straight?" Li Mu said helplessly: "The premise I'm talking about is that you must get married first. Revenge is no problem. You can go after you get married.
"
Li Chongyi asked in confusion: "Brother, what does revenge have to do with getting married?"
"It doesn't matter, can I let you do this?"
"Oh." Li Chongyi stopped asking and said, "Whatever brother says is whatever it is."
"That's more or less the same." Li Mu took another sip of wine and said, "You will be fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year. Although you are younger, you are so anxious. It doesn't matter if you get married early. It's okay to think more about it.
If you like someone's daughter, don't be shy, just tell them directly, or tell me, except for the princess and princess, your eldest brother, I can handle it, no one else will give your eldest brother a face. You are my brother,
If you look down on you, you look down on me. I wonder who has the guts!"
Li Chongyi was speechless for a long time, then suddenly said: "Brother, I don't want to marry a woman from the Tang Dynasty."
"Ah?" Li Mu looked at him and frowned: "You are still picking and choosing. Why, the women of the Tang Dynasty are not worthy of you?"
"That's not what I meant..." Li Chongyi sighed and said, "Brother, the women of the Tang Dynasty are too troublesome."
Li Mu didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Chongyi scratched his head and said: "I can't explain clearly, but looking at you, eldest brother, it feels so troublesome. The sisters-in-law are always unhappy, and eldest brother has to coax him. And that Li Zhien, there are too many things going on, I don't like her
"Our women are not like that. Whoever robs them belongs to whomever. They can give birth to children, cook, and sew clothes. They are more capable than the women of the Tang Dynasty, and they have less worries. I want to marry a woman." He paused, as if to muster up courage.
Yes, Li Chongyi said again: "Brother, can I take revenge first? After I kill my enemy, his women will all be mine."
"What kind of bad habit is this! You can't do this!" Li Mu's outlook collapsed upon hearing this. Are people so open-minded?
This is because he himself has no knowledge. For nomadic people, population is the most important thing. That’s why there is a custom of brothers dying and brothers succeeding to each other. Princess Yicheng married three khans in two generations, and no one said anything.
This is the custom, and it has been a rule for thousands of years.
Heishui, where Li Chongyi was born, is essentially a nomadic people, and its customs are similar to those of Turks. They do not engage in production and rely on plundering of materials and people. It is not surprising that they have this kind of thinking.
"Big man, let me tell you. Marrying a wife is not a child's play. You can't just grab one and use it. You have to see if your temperament and temperament are compatible, and whether you are virtuous and virtuous. There are many things to consider. A wife must be
Someone who can share the joys and sorrows with you. What you snatched may one day be snatched away by others. Will she be of the same mind as you?"
Li Chongyi showed a confused look again: "Brother, I don't understand a bit."
"Learn slowly, don't rush. Anyway, you can't just grab one." Li Mu threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and said, "I am an open-minded person and will not forcefully arrange it for you, but you have to work hard yourself.
All in all, if you don't get married, you can't take revenge. Unless you don't recognize me as your elder brother, then you can do whatever you want. I won't tie you up with chains. You can leave anytime you want."
"I won't go." Li Chongyi said firmly: "If my brother doesn't let me go, I won't go. I have to follow you."
"Silly boy." Li Mu patted the back of Li Chongyi's head and suddenly became sentimental: "Big man, I seem to be a lone star of fate and have no relatives, ha! It's just an old lady, that's all, old lady.
That’s me. But apart from me, I have no relatives. Not to mention brothers, no! My brothers are Siwen, you, and Xiaojiu. I’m not very worried about either of them. They all have families, mixed
No matter how bad you are, it's not much different. But you are almost the same as me. We are destined to be brothers, so I can't ignore you."
"A brother is like a father. Your parents are both dead, so I have to take care of you. You are only fifteen after the Chinese New Year. If you just go out for revenge like this, what if you die? You don't even have a queen, so you have the heart of being the eldest brother.
Are you sorry to go?"
"Big brother"
"You may not understand, and you don't need to understand. Listen to my brother. When you grow up, he will no longer care about you. Can I care about you for the rest of your life? Brother, you are destined not to be a mortal. With your strength,
Do you want to use it to cultivate the land? Remember what my brother said, as long as you live, sooner or later, you will definitely get revenge. Brother, I will help you. None of us are afraid. If it doesn’t work, I will make you an explosive pack and we will blow it up.
them"
"Brother, you are drunk."
"You're so drunk, you kid, you don't even understand." Li Mu yawned, turned around, and fell asleep leaning against the wine jar. Li Chongyi looked at Li Mu and drank the rest of the wine in his jar.
Then he packed up the beef jerky, hung it back on the wall, bent down and picked up Li Mu, and walked to the back house.
The back house is looking for Li Mu. Who knew he would go to the back house with Li Chongyi to drink. Bai Qiaoqiao has taken a bath, and Li Zhien has settled the accounts. It's time to go to bed. He can't be found. Such a sensitive thing happened again today.
, the two girls thought that Li Mu had gone to Wang Ou's place, and almost cried. Suddenly they saw Li Chongyi carrying Li Mu back, still smelling of alcohol, and asked what was going on.
"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother was in a bad mood. He came to me for a drink and he got drunk."
Li Chongyi put Li Mu on the bed, saluted Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Sister-in-law, take good care of your elder brother. I'm going back to sleep. I have to go to the garrison camp tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Chongyi left. Li Mu turned over and almost pinned Pang Da. The little guy slept for a whole day and became energetic at night. He struggled to climb out of Li Mu's armpit and screamed at Li Zhien.
Call.
"What's your name?" Li Zhien came to the bedside, stared at Panda, and said, "Didn't you kiss that woman? Go find her?"
"嘤嘤嘤"
"I don't understand what you said."
"嘤嘤"
"Maybe he's hungry." Bai Qiaoqiao brought its 'baby bottle' over. Pangda smelled the smell of goat's milk and crawled over excitedly. Bai Qiaoqiao held it in her arms and nursed it, while Li Zhien climbed into bed.
, help Li Mu take off his clothes.
"Madam, you really scared me today. The master has never been so angry. What kind of ecstasy soup did that woman pour into the master to make him so biased towards her?"
Bai Qiaoqiao heard it, but kept silent and only focused on feeding Panda.
"Madam, that woman is about to break into the house, are you just going to let her have her way?"
"Otherwise?" Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at Li Zhien and said, "Can't you see? She has a certain status in my husband's heart, otherwise he wouldn't have said that. My husband respects me and says that as long as I speak
, so I cut off contact with her. But can I let my husband do this? If this is the case, my husband will not be happy even if he doesn’t say anything. If my husband is unhappy, then the husband and wife are really estranged."
"But" Li Zhien muttered, "Master can't bully you like this."
Panda drank enough milk and started to feel sleepy again. Bai Qiaoqiao put it in the cradle and pushed the cradle gently, and the cradle started to rock.
"What are you talking about bullying? How can there be bullying between husband and wife? When my husband said those words, don't you know what I would choose? He knew, he also knew that he bullied me, and he felt uncomfortable, so he went
drink wine"
"Then why can't he follow Madam?"
"Because I am his wife." Bai Qiaoqiao took a new set of pajamas and helped Li Mu put them on together with Li Zhien: "Between husband and wife, they just have to be patient and give in, and they go along with everything. That's for our mother-in-law.
"
"I don't understand." Li Zhien pursed his lips and whispered, "I still feel that I have taken advantage of that woman, and I am really unwilling to do so."
"You are wrong." Bai Qiaoqiao took Li Mu's changed clothes aside, blew out the candles, climbed into bed and lay down: "After what happened today, she will always be the third aunt, my husband's thoughts
, you still don’t understand?”
"Huh?" Li Zhien frowned and thought for a while, and finally understood. Today, with the status confirmed, Wang Ou's plan to set up an outhouse to compete with Bai Qiaoqiao is gone. There will always be only one wife in this family, and Li Mu maintains it.
It’s still this iron law.
But it was agreed that there would only be one concubine, and now there is one more! Li Zhien was a little unhappy, and looked at the sleeping Li Mu with resentment. A stinky man, he is still partial.
But it's okay, that woman can't enter the prince's mansion, and there is still only one concubine in the mansion. The second concubine is always much nicer than the housekeeper.
Li Zhien rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Madam, can I tell Xiaozhu and the others tomorrow that I am the second concubine in the house?"
"Huh?" Bai Qiaoqiao understood what Li Zhien meant and said with a smile: "My husband has already said it, what do you ask me for? You can tell me whatever you want, but don't let it slip about the third concubine. Otherwise, if
If word spreads, it will be troublesome for my husband."
"I won't mention her." Li Zhien snorted and said, "In my heart, she will always be an outsider."
"Don't say such things in front of your husband. Didn't your husband say that? He doesn't like the intrigues in the family, so let him worry less." Bai Qiaoqiao held Li Mu in her arms and wiped him away with distress.
The beads of sweat on her forehead showed that she had been wronged, but seeing Li Mu drunk, her heartache took over. The grievance was nothing.
She suddenly thought of Zhang Tianai again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With things like this happening today, what should Sister Tianai do?
