Li Mu brought Li Chongyi to the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. Li Xiaogong opened the middle door to welcome him and brought his family to welcome him. Li Mu did not expect that Li Xiaogong would put up such a big battle, and he was a little flattered. At the same time, he was also happy for Li Chongyi.
, it can be seen that Li Xiaogong attaches great importance to this adopted son, and Li Chongyi will not suffer when he comes to his house.
Li Mu now fully wants to marry his daughter. He not only hopes that Li Chongyi can have a good future, but is also worried that he will be looked down upon and ignored when he arrives at the Hejian County Prince's Palace. Seeing that Li Xiaogong treats him very seriously, he feels relieved.
.
At the moment, Li Xiaogong introduced the people in Li Chongyi's family, from his wife to his son to the more favored concubines. Li Chongyi looked at a loss, his brain was not very good, he could remember a few people, and he could remember more than a dozen at a time.
Ten, he couldn't react.
Li Mu was very talented in this area. He basically remembered everything that Li Chongyi didn't remember and was completely relieved.
Although Li Xiaogong had many wives and concubines, he did not have many children. He only had two sons. The eldest son was about thirteen or fourteen years old, which was similar in age to Li Chongyi, but he looked much younger than him. There was also a younger son, who was
The son of his concubine was still in his infancy. At the moment, all he had to do was establish a good relationship with his eldest son. They met each other, and Li Xiaogong was very happy. He ordered people to arrange a banquet in the garden, and everyone in the house was given food.
On the way to the garden, Li Mu came to the side of Li Xiaogong's eldest son. He looked at this tough-looking boy, put on a smile and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Li Chongyi!"
That's great! Children like this are generally straightforward in character and don't have any twists and turns. Unlike Changsun Chong, that fat guy who was full of bad ideas. Li Mu felt even more satisfied and asked again: "Is there anything you want?
If you want something, tell me and he will give it to you."
Li Chongyi frowned and said rudely: "You are not my eldest brother. Father has said that he is my eldest brother." He pointed at Li Chongyi and said: "Only such a warrior is worthy of being my eldest brother."
It turned out to be younger than Li Chongyi.
Li Chongyi said solemnly: "Since you recognize me as your eldest brother, you must recognize him. He is my eldest brother."
Li Chongyi glanced at Li Mu and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why do you recognize him as your eldest brother? He seems to have no strength, so he may not be my opponent!"
Li Chongyi was a little annoyed and said: "He is my eldest brother. If you are disrespectful to him, I am worried that I will beat you!"
"Oops, what are you doing!" Li Mu quickly comforted Li Chongyi and said: "From now on, this is your biological brother. You are still his eldest brother, how can you hit anyone casually? Have I ever hit you?
"
Li Chongyi fell silent, and Li Mu put on a smile again, patted Li Chongyi on the shoulder, and said: "Little brother, remember, to be a big brother, you don't have to be able to fight. The world is not about fighting and killing, the world is about human relations. You
You are still young and don’t understand, so you can understand it. When you are like me and have been in the world for more than ten years, you will understand the meaning of these words."
Li Chongyi blocked Li Mu's hand and said: "You don't look much older than me. How could you have been in the world for more than ten years? Don't lie to me. Although I don't like reading, I'm not stupid either!"
"Hey!" Li Mu said angrily: "Why did I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask your eldest brother. I started wandering around the world when I was six years old. I rescued your eldest brother from a trafficker when I was seven. I am seventeen this year.
, seventeen minus six, eleven is correct, I said more than ten years, isn’t it correct?”
Li Chongyi was also a child who had not seen much of the world. Seeing that Li Mu spoke so truthfully, he hesitated. He looked at Li Chongyi, and of course Li Chongyi nodded. He could not trust Li Mu, but he could trust his new big brother. He also admitted it when he saw him.
Li Mu's eyes suddenly shone with admiration at his words.
He pulled Li Mu's sleeve and asked: "Brother, have you really been in the Jianghu for more than ten years? Then tell me, what is the Jianghu like? I heard some things from the guards in the mansion, but they all said
I didn’t understand, but later my father found out and punished them, so they didn’t dare to say anything. You are not afraid of my father, so you can tell me.”
"Forget it, forget it, I'm also afraid of your father." Li Mu waved his hand, but couldn't help teasing him, and said: "But there is a saying, once you enter the rivers and lakes, it is as deep as the sea, and you will be a hundred years old when you look back.
The affairs of the Jianghu, the bloody chaos... You are still a child, so it’s okay if you don’t know."
"Alas!" Li Chongyi suddenly became dejected and muttered: "When will I grow up? When I am as old as you, I will definitely join the world and become a knight-errant! No, I will be a hero.
.Become a fearsome hero like the Qiu-bearded guest!"
"Oh, do you still know about the Qiubeard Guest?"
"I've seen him before!"
"Have you seen him?" Li Mu was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed Li Chongyi's shoulder and asked, "When have you seen him and where have you seen him?"
It was about his life experience, how could Li Mu not be nervous.
"You're hurting me!" Li Chongyi frowned and shouted dissatisfied. Li Mu quickly let go and coaxed: "To be honest, I also admire the Qiu bearded man very much. Where have you seen him, please tell me, and I will too
Go and meet him."
"You can't see me anymore."
"Why can't I see him? He is dead?"
"That's not the case." Li Chongyi rolled his eyes and said, "It's not impossible for you to want to know about him. Recently I heard about a fun thing, it seems to be called military chess..."
"Oh! What are you talking about, little brother! It turns out that you want military chess, then you have found the right person. Military chess was invented by me, so if you tell me the news, I will give you a collector's edition made by me.
How about military chess, which is guaranteed to be unavailable on the market?"
Li Chongyi was overjoyed and said: "Then it's settled!"
"Ding Ding Ding, you say it!"
"I met him when I was six years old, and our family was still living in Jiangnan at that time. The bearded guest and General Li Jing were sworn brothers. He came to see General Li Jing, and I happened to meet him. He also praised me as a martial arts practitioner.
"
Li Mu's eyes widened and he asked, "What then?"
"What then, it was gone, and then he left."
"..." Li Mu almost lost his temper and looked at Li Chongyi speechless.
This news is of no use!
You are said to be a material for martial arts training? Just believe it! Why are you so naive!
Li Chongyi saw that Li Mu's expression was wrong and said quickly: "You can't go back on your promise to me in military chess!"
"Okay, okay, I won't regret it." Li Mu said perfunctorily, not bothering to argue with the children. Li Xiaogong, who was walking in front, saw the juniors muttering behind him and shouted, and Li Mu hurriedly chased after them with the two of them.
…
The Hejian County Prince's Mansion occupies a large area. There is a garden. This garden not only has rockeries, corridors, and ponds, but also plants rare flowers and trees. However, it is the middle of winter, so it looks a bit withered, but there is also a good snow scene.
.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Xiaogong seemed to be seventy percent drunk. Li Chongyi drank half a jar and poured three glasses, and he was already unconscious. Li Xiaogong didn't care, and it was obvious that he was concerned about his
My son adopts a free-ranging attitude and is not very strict in discipline.
Li Chongyi and Li Chongyi, two brothers, sat at a table to the left of Li Xiaogong. Li Mu sat at a table by himself, sitting to the right of Li Xiaogong. Li Mu was almost drunk and was about to find an excuse to run away when Li Xiaogong suddenly looked at
He came over, grabbed Li Mu's shoulders, stared with a pair of bull's eyes, and said: "You bastard, tell me how you can compensate me!"
"With you?"
Li Mu shuddered, how can I accompany you? I will accompany you to eat and drink with you, do you still want to... It's so disgusting!
Li Xiaogong came very close, and the smell of alcohol sprayed on Li Mu's face: "Since I came to Chang'an, I have become more and more unhappy day by day. It is really boring, so boring! Finally, with a place like Chunfeng Tower, you can
It's a good thing, I smashed the Chunfeng Tower! Do you know that... that Yin Hongzhi was sent to Qizhou to be the governor by His Majesty, and the Chunfeng Tower is gone! Where can I go to play in the future? You bastard, you give me back the Chunfeng Tower.
,Give back my Jiaojiao!”
"Jiaojiao?" Li Mu smiled bitterly. This "Jiaojiao" must be the girl Li Xiaogong was in love with. Seeing that he was about to fall over, Li Mu quickly supported him and said: "Why should the prince be depressed? Which woman does the prince like to marry?"
Just come in. Are you still worried about not being able to support such a big palace?"
"What do you know..." Li Xiaogong cried: "After marrying into the family, the taste changes! It's different! Oh! You don't understand!"
Only then did Li Mu understand. It turns out that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. This old boy likes this one!
What should I do? Suddenly, something came to mind. Li Mu's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The prince does not need to be sad. If Chunfeng Tower is gone, let's just open another one! Didn't you say yesterday that I would do business with you in partnership?
Well, let’s do business together. You contribute one share, I contribute one share, how about we open a brothel?”
"Open a brothel?" Li Xiaogong stopped crying and looked at Li Mu blankly, seeming a little moved. But soon, he shook his head again and said: "It can't be done, it can't be done. I am the king of the Tang Dynasty. How can I open a brothel? If I am...
If people find out, wouldn’t it bring shame to the royal family? Absolutely not!”
"What's wrong!" Li Mu tried his best to persuade and said: "How about we do this, I open a brothel, and you, the county prince, will become a shareholder. Anyway, I, Li Mu, am in business, and I'm not afraid of people making irresponsible remarks, so this will be fine.
Bar?"
"Are you going? Should I buy a share?" Li Xiaogong frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Boy, I accept your wish. If you are doing it to make me happy, there is no need to do this. You are also a big brother.
Mr. Tang, it would be unpleasant if people knew about it."
"Thank you so much for your concern." Li Mu said with a smile: "I don't dare to deceive the king. I only open half of this brothel for the sake of the king, and the other half is for official business. It is my duty to open it."
"What's your responsibility?" Li Xiaogong raised an eyebrow: "What's your responsibility? It's also your responsibility to open a brothel?"
