When Li Mu woke up, the sun was shining brightly. The warm sun in winter had a special smell. It was not as bright as summer, but it made people feel warm just looking at it. Li Mu didn't remember where he was talking, he only remembered himself.
As he talked, he fell asleep.
Looking left and right, Wang Ou was not around. Li Mu sat up and looked ahead blankly. At this time, there was a noise at the door. Li Mu looked over and saw Wang Ou coming over with a basin of water, intending to help him wash up.
Washing up in Datang is slightly different from before Li Mu traveled through time. The procedures of brushing teeth, gargling, and washing face are similar. But because there is no toothbrush, brushing teeth always makes Li Mu uncomfortable.
But don’t think that people in the Tang Dynasty all had bad breath. In fact, the food in the Tang Dynasty was very simple, and compared to later generations, there were not so many food residues. Gargling was commonly used, with salt water, strong tea, and wine.
To rinse your mouth after eating, rinse your mouth in the morning and evening. Rich people also have special 'medicinal powder', which is similar to the tooth powder of later generations. However, Li Mu doesn't know what it is made of, but he guesses that there must be something in it.
Mint and salt, because after using it, there was a cold wind in his mouth and he was still panicking.
There are two ways to use 'tooth powder'. For those who are more particular, they can use tree branches or hemp to dip the tooth powder into their mouths and 'rupe' it in their mouths. This does not feel very good and gives people the feeling of chewing on something they have already chewed.
It feels like sugar cane. For those who are less particular about it, they just pick it with their hands and then rinse their mouth.
It turns out that when he lived in Mayi and Dingxiang, Li Mu basically rinsed his mouth because there was no 'tooth powder' sold there. After arriving in Chang'an and having money, he immediately bought the highest-end tooth powder and hemp.
. But Li Mu is the kind of person who doesn't bark or be particular. He always digs with his hands. In fact, it doesn't matter. Brushing teeth is a relatively private matter in this era. Even between husband and wife, it is taboo. For example, he rarely
Seeing how Bai Qiaoqiao brushes her teeth, Bai Qiaoqiao will avoid him if she sees him occasionally.
Li Mu also found it strange. In his previous life, he read dog licking videos on the Internet and said that even beautiful women's farts smell good. Li Mu thought at the time, isn't this nonsense? But now, he feels it makes sense. Under such poor brushing conditions, his
Isn't it strange that all the ladies have little white teeth?
It must be the effect of the tooth powder, but Li Mu can't stand it anymore. The toothbrush must be put on the schedule, but he hasn't figured out what materials to use to make the toothbrush. The hemp must not work, the taste is too bad. The hair is too soft, the horse
The mane is quite suitable, but who is willing to cut the horse hair to make a toothbrush? Besides, there are not so many manes available...
Li Mu thought about it, and Wang Ou had already handed over the hemp and tooth powder. Li Mu took the tooth powder, dipped his fingers in water, then dipped some tooth powder into his mouth and started to pick it. Wang Ou couldn't laugh or cry.
Looking at him, Li Mu also looked at her, plucking even more vigorously as if on purpose.
Wang Ou was born in a high-ranking family, and he had attached great importance to etiquette since he was a child. Seeing Li Mu's appearance, he couldn't help but said: "Husband, it's too unsightly."
Li Mu shook his head and said vaguely: "I'm just a little rogue, do you like me?"
How could Wang Ou be willing to say that he didn't love you? He gave him an angry look, handed him the mouthwash, and said: "Just bully me, who made me like you?"
Li Mu chuckled, rinsed his mouth, and kissed Wang Ou's lips. Wang Ou's cheeks turned red, and he moved his arms around Li Mu's neck and responded enthusiastically. Seeing that the gun was about to go off, Li Mu quickly stopped the car.
, their lips parted, and both of them gasped for air.
"Is it beautiful?" Li Mu looked at Wang Ou mischievously. He liked Wang Ou's panicked look. She looked more like a young girl in love, with a shyness that did not suit her age.
Wang Ou nodded lightly, leaned on Li Mu's shoulder, pursed his lips, and said shyly and quietly: "Husband, you can really hold yourself back."
"It won't take long. After I celebrate the New Year, I get the top score in the exam, and then I will accept Zhien in May, and then you. During this period, I will be more diligent and let my wife conceive the child first... Zhien
He's still young and will give birth in two years." He hooked Wang Ou's chin and said, "How about you give birth to a big fat boy for me?"
"Well..." Wang Ou's voice was barely audible, and he was too embarrassed to raise his head.
Li Mu laughed loudly, and his stomach suddenly growled. Wang Ou hurriedly asked the maid to bring food. After Li Mu had eaten and drank enough, he was affectionate with Wang Ou for a while, borrowed a carriage from her, and rushed to the heaven and earth.
He came to pick up Zheng's mother and daughter.
It's been two days, and the reminiscing about old times has almost stopped. He can't let Zheng's mother and daughter stay in the heaven and earth. In fact, it's inappropriate for him to bring Zheng's mother and daughter to heaven and earth to meet Li Yuan. But what he saw yesterday
When Li Shimin came, he didn't mention it, so he just got over it. He couldn't be shameless, it was time to take them to where they should be.
Li Yuan and Zheng Guanyin also understood the reason. Even Li Mu didn't waste any time because Zheng Guanyin had already packed it up. She left all the gold and silver utensils she brought out in the warehouse in the heaven and earth, and only took more than a hundred pieces with her.
Yesterday, Li Yourong went to find a tailor to make clothes for them. Then he got into the carriage and followed Li Mu away.
Li Yuan felt sorry for his granddaughter. Before leaving, he brought a pile of pastries and candied fruits, as well as two large food boxes, both of which were freshly made dishes. This kind of jujube wood food box also has the function of keeping warm. If you eat it at night, you can even eat it.
No need to heat it up.
"Is your injury getting better?" After several incidents, Zheng Guanyin has completely regarded Li Mu as his nephew and is very concerned about his injury.
Li Mu smiled and said: "The scab has formed, so it's okay. I'm young, so the wound heals quickly."
Although Zheng Guanyin was still uneasy, he couldn't let Li Mu take off his clothes to take a look, so he had to tell him to be more careful and not touch the injured area. Li Mu felt strange in his heart. He had just come out from Wang Ou's place. This Zheng Guanyin was worse than Wang Ou.
Wang Ou is still a year younger, and he made it clear that day that Zheng Guanyin called Wang Ou 'sister'. If you think about it this way, wouldn't I become her brother-in-law? This is quite interesting.
Li Mu made a mental calculation. He was Zheng Guanyin's brother-in-law. He was Li Jiancheng's brother-in-law. Li Jiancheng was Li Shimin's brother, so he and Li Shimin were considered the same generation.
Thinking of this, Li Mu burst out laughing. Li Wanshun, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help laughing when he saw his silly smile. Zheng Guanyin saw it and scolded: "Wanshun, don't be rude."
Li Wanshun quickly pursed her lips, not daring to laugh.
Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly stopped him and said to Zheng Guanyin: "Now we are outside the palace, there are not so many rules. Children, you can cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh. If you take care of everything, when you think about it in the future,
There’s nothing happy about it anymore.”
When Li Wanshun heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Did my brother have many happy things when he was a child?"
"I..." This question is really difficult to answer, because Li Mu has two memories in his mind. One is the memory of his own childhood, and the other is the original memory of this body. But in retrospect, it seems that this
There were no happy things in the two memories of childhood. In his own childhood, before entering the orphanage, he wandered, picked up garbage, ate apples thrown away by others, and experienced all kinds of tragic things. Compared with "San Mao's Wandering Story"
The Sanmao inside is still miserable! And the memory of this body is not much better either. His father died early, the orphans and widowed mothers are being blamed everywhere, and they have to be run over by Bai Naoer's 'in-laws'... Sorting out the memory of this body
, it turns out that Li Mu's biggest emotion should be 'sadness and anger'.
However, you should not talk about such negative things to your children. Li Mu now made up: "Of course there is. When I was a child, I lived in Mayi. Have you heard of Mayi? There is a grassland just outside the city gate. As the saying goes, the sky is blue and the wilderness is vast.
, the grass is blown by the wind and you can see the cattle and sheep. Looking around, you can see the vastness, just like your brother and my mind, so vast that a horse can gallop!"
Li Wanyan laughed and said, "Brother is so good at telling lies."
"Big talk?" Li Mu snorted and said: "Your brother, I never talk big words. Remember, no matter how exaggerated the things you have accomplished, it is not a big lie. The things you have not accomplished, no matter how insignificant, are still a big lie. That's it.
Like me, I was born in a small town like Mayi. Do you know how big Mayi is? There are not even 200 households in a city, so it is very small."
Li Mu used his "reminiscing about the past" style to fool the ignorant little girl Li Wanshun: "I am from a humble background, and now I am a third-rank military prince in the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this a miracle? Throughout the ages, the only one who has done this is my brother!"
Zheng Guanyin also said: "It's true, Wanshun, Li Mu is a talented man with great ability. You can't be rude again in the future, you know?"
Li Wanshun nodded, glanced at Li Mu again, and suddenly said: "Brother, you are seventeen years old this year, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I am eight years old."
"Eight years old, just eight years old, what's wrong?"
"When you are twenty-four, can I marry you?"
"..." Li Mu suddenly lost his temper. He opened the curtain and looked outside, and suddenly had the urge to jump out of the car. Zheng Guanyin was also a grown-up, so he quickly scolded: "What nonsense are children talking about? This kind of thing can also be done
Nonsense?"
"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't you teach me the principle of repaying kindness when receiving kindness from others? My brother saved us from the prison. This is a great kindness. I have nothing to repay him, but I can only promise him with my body.
Already."
"You..." What the child said was reasonable and well-founded. Zheng Guanyin really couldn't think of anything to say to refute. At this time, the younger one also shouted: "I will also marry my brother. Brother, please wait for me for ten years..."
"
Li Mu felt a headache and said with a wry smile: "You two, please stop thinking nonsense. I am also in the royal family. We are from the same clan and have the same surname. We are cousins and cannot get married. Do you understand?"
The two children quickly looked at their mother: "Mom, is this true?"
Zheng Guanyin thought to himself, you are an outsider, and you have been granted entry into the clan, so what kind of cousin do you think you are? But in order to fool the child, he still nodded and said: "Yes, we can't get married."
The two children immediately looked disappointed. Li Mu patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
