Li Mu got off the carriage and changed his tone of voice several times to call her "ma'am", which attracted the attention of many customers in the shop. Although Feng Qiuhuang did not say that it was only open to women, whether it was perfume, soap, or silver mirrors, they were all women.
They sold a lot. They didn't see a single male customer in three days. Li Mu's shout immediately attracted countless looks from Yingying Yanyan. Bai Qiaoqiao's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and she hurriedly glanced at him.
On the other hand, Li Mu looked indifferent. He was very thick-skinned. If he wasn't afraid of the verbal quarrels in the court, why would he be afraid of a few women watching? As long as he didn't take off his clothes and watch, he didn't care.
Seeing the women looking over, Li Mu said with a smile: "Hello sisters, you are here today. All customers who buy something, even if they only buy a piece of soap, will receive a silver mirror for free. I will pay the bill, so don't be polite.
ah!"
"Husband" Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late and she looked at him angrily. The women next to him joked, "Master Marquis, you see, my wife is distressed and angry."
"What the hell." Li Mu put his arms around Bai Qiaoqiao's waist and said, "My wife is the most generous, but she is just as generous as she is. This store belongs to her, and I shouldn't get involved, but today
I am happy and have a chance to meet you sisters, so I spent my own money to buy them as gifts for you sisters, which is in line with the rules."
As Li Mu spoke, he took out a 'goldfish' and put it on the cabinet. He caught Bai Qiaoqiao and kissed her. He laughed and said, "That's a lot of pocket money for my wife."
Bai Qiaoqiao was so embarrassed that she pushed Li Mu and ran back to the back house. Li Mu didn't make it, so he and several other women managed to escape. Most of these women's husbands
Most of them are under Li Mu's status. If his status is higher than his, there is no need to go out and buy things by himself. But Li Mu does not rely on his status. Every time he goes home and catches up, he will pay for something small.
, anyway, these gadgets don’t cost much, and when you pay for them, you take them out of your left pocket and put them in your right pocket, and they have a good reputation, so why not?
If Li Zhien had been there, the two would have cooperated very well. However, Bai Qiaoqiao was a little shy and very reserved in her performance. Her face would always turn red before she even said her lines.
Li Mu got rid of the entanglement of the women and went to the backyard. When he saw Li Zhien coming out of the warehouse, he asked: "Where is the madam? Where are you hiding again?"
Li Zhien pointed behind him, and Li Mu rubbed his hands and rushed in. Behind a row of shelves, he found Bai Qiaoqiao, who had not yet recovered. He hugged her and pushed her into her arms. Bai Qiao kissed her.
Qiao Qiao patted his head helplessly and said, "Husband, stop making trouble... Qiao Qiao can't bear it."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "Madam, my husband was not at home last night. Did you miss me?"
"I don't want to." Bai Qiaoqiao said deliberately: "You're not at home, so I feel a lot less worried. I can have a good sleep with Zhien, so I don't have to worry about you."
"Oh?" Li Mu held up Bai Qiaoqiao's pretty face, kissed her, and said: "You don't know how to be blessed when you are in the midst of blessings. Others are tossing your husband, but your husband won't do it. But a good wife, you don't know how to do it at all."
Aren't you worried about me? Aren't you afraid that I'll go out to mess around? For example, in some places in Pingkangfang, I heard that the Lichun Courtyard is about to be built and will be open for business in the first month."
"!" Bai Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes at him and said: "It would be inappropriate to say a few words. If you are that kind of person, you are no longer my husband. Besides, I still need you? I have a good friend at home and a good friend from the other side."
Sister Ou, who is not the beauty of the country, even if you want to steal something, you can't do it outside, so don't use these words to trick me."
"That's not possible."
Li Mu chuckled and was about to say something coquettishly when he suddenly felt a cool breeze on his back. He hurriedly looked back and saw Li Zhien's cold face, as if he had suffered a lot of resentment, and his mouth was full of tears.
Push it up to the sky.
Li Mu was confused: "What are you doing? Who has offended you?"
"Master, here are two women."
Li Mu just thought they were the women in the front yard and said speechlessly: "Come here. Let's open the door for business. Are you afraid of too many people? Go ahead and ask the cook to make two of my favorite dishes. I'm hungry."
"Owner!"
Li Zhien suddenly shouted loudly, which scared Li Mu. He was about to scold him when he suddenly saw Li Zhien crying. Knowing that something was wrong, he quickly let go of Bai Qiaoqiao and hugged her into his arms, saying softly
Asked: "What's going on? You yelled at me, why did you make yourself cry? What happened? Those two women bullied you? If this is the case, then I can't say what I will do today.
I hit a woman once and dared to bully my dear little baby, how can I get around her?"
Li Zhien hummed: "I'm afraid you won't let me go. They are your dear little darlings."
"What are you talking about?" Li Mu looked back at Bai Qiaoqiao and said speechlessly: "Madam, please listen, what are these words? I just want you to be spoiled, and you will become more and more insignificant."
"Master, please stop covering up, people have already come to your door."
Li Mu made a serious face and said: "Zhien, just joking is enough. Besides, I'm angry."
Li Mu originally thought that when he said this, Li Zhien would become honest, but he didn't expect that it would become more serious. Li Zhien pushed him away, threw himself into Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, and cried: "Madam, please take a look quickly, Master
I really went to Pingkangfang, and everyone came to visit me, ugh..."
"Ah?" Li Mu was completely confused. He handed over all the construction matters of Pingkangfang to Gongsun Kang. He hadn't been there for several days. How could such a thing happen? Besides, he was clearly in the valley yesterday.
There is no way that a clone slept with this girl!
Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes also showed anger, and she glared at Li Mu fiercely, saying: "Husband, what is going on? Are you really in Pingkangfang?"
"Madam!" Li Mu quickly interrupted Bai Qiaoqiao's reverie and said: "Madam Rongzhen, you know me well. Think about it carefully. Even if I have lustful intentions towards your husband, when will I hide it from you? More
Don't tell me that I have been protecting you until now. Do you still need to doubt my feelings for you?"
Li Zhien said angrily: "You don't touch people at home, you only look for people outside! Maybe we can't catch your eye, so you just like those charming women!"
"Little girl! I'm going to spank you!" Li Mu threatened, causing Li Zhien to shrink his neck and hide in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms. Bai Qiaoqiao immediately glared over and said, "What are you yelling at?"
Li Mu immediately calmed down and cried: "Madam, am I not wronged? I didn't..."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me... is Mr. Hou there? We waited outside the door for a long time, but there was no answer. When we saw the door was open, we came in. Please forgive me, we have something to do with Mr. Hou."
When Li Zhien heard about this business, she shed more tears and said, "It's this woman. Look, look how brave she is. She came in without letting her in. How could this happen if she had no support?"
"You're a jealous little person. I'm not afraid of shadows. When the truth comes out, let's see how you apologize to me!" Li Mu snorted, turned around and walked out. He was also confused as to why two women suddenly came.
Who are they?
Bai Qiaoqiao also pulled Li Zhien out. A woman came to Li Mu. How could Bai Qiaoqiao not care? It's just that she was more stable than Li Zhien and didn't say anything.
The three of them came outside the warehouse and saw two women standing in the courtyard. But anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they were a pair of master and servant. Although the maid was not bad in appearance, compared with the two, no matter in appearance
Even his temperament can only be reduced to a foil. In short, he has no characteristics.
Li Mu turned around and glared at Li Zhien. Li Zhien hurriedly hid behind Bai Qiaoqiao. She did mean to say "two women" on purpose, exaggerating the extent of Li Mu's philandering, but she didn't want to make a false accusation, she just wanted to deceive Li Mu.
Li Mu automatically filtered the maids and looked at the leading woman. He saw that this woman was very tall, at least 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure and graceful appearance. Although she was wearing clothes similar to those of a Heikanfang geisha, she did not look gaudy.
On the contrary, there is a pure beauty that "comes out of the mud but remains unstained". She is truly a beauty. It's no wonder that Li Zhien is so nervous.
But Li Mu didn't recognize her. He looked her up and down and said, "Who is this girl...?"
When Li Mu was sizing him up, the woman was also sizing him up. Suddenly she heard Li Mu's voice and was startled. She quickly bowed and saluted: "Little girl Jin Chen, I have met Mr. Hou."
"Wait a moment." Li Mu caught Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes and quickly took a big step back to keep a safe distance. At this time, Dugujiu also heard the sound and came out of the room, slowly floated over and stood here.
Between the woman who calls herself 'Jin Chen' and Li Mu, the expressions cannot be seen under the mask, but the coldness can be felt.
Li Mu only thought that he was here to protect himself and didn't care. He looked at the woman and asked, "Miss Jin, do you know me? Why did you come to see me?"
Jin Chen smiled and said without panic, "Does the Marquis still remember the Crown Prince Gaochang?"
Li Mu didn't know why she mentioned Ju Zhisheng, but he still replied: "Ah, of course I remember, we are friends."
"But still remember the prince once said that he would give the Marquis a surprise?"
"Uh..." Li Mu seemed to have some impression, but under this situation, how could he admit it? Li Mu said with a straight face, "I don't remember any surprises. I only remember that the prince promised me that he would give me more in the future."
Send some local specialties from Gaochang”
Jin Chen smiled and said: "Are the local specialties that the Marquis mentioned are gold and silver? The little girl's surname is Jin, and my sister's surname is Yin. The two of us are the 'surprise' given to the Marquis by the prince, and we are also the 'local products' of Gaochang."
specialty'."
Li Mu's face suddenly dropped. Regardless of the fact that these two women almost caused a family turmoil, let's talk about the matter itself. Ju Zhisheng is too unreasonable. If I want money, gold and silver! What are you playing with me?
It’s a word game, there are two women, one with the surname Jin and the other with the surname Yin. They are so gold and silver, and they want to get away with it? Even if this woman is good-looking, she is not made of gold. How can she get away with it?
Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "Your master is good at using his brain, but he made a wrong calculation. You two can't replace him and promise to return my souvenirs. You go!"
Jin Chen said anxiously: "Why didn't the Marquis wait for the little girl to finish what she said?"
Li Mu frowned: "What do you mean?"
"The prince said that the two of us are just a surprise for the Marquis. We are not replacing souvenirs. We should do whatever we want. Gaochang's souvenirs will still be available in the future."
"Oh, that is to say, you two are adding to the family..." Li Mu glanced at Jin Chen again, and thought to himself, if it is considered to be adding to the family, it would be fine. Before he could speak, Bai Qiaoqiao took over the words: "This
Girl, my husband's relationship with the Crown Prince of Gaochang is a gentleman's friendship. You are human beings, not goods, so it's really not easy to send them around as gifts. I don't think you can go back to Gaochang, so why not give them to me?
You take some money and find a way out for yourself. How about just pretending that my husband has taken you in?"
Jin Chen looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, his eyes instantly filled with tears, and bowed down: "I dare not lie to Madam. Our sisters are dancers and musicians who were raised in the Gaochang Palace. We know nothing but dancing. Even Madam
If you are kind-hearted, give us money to settle down, and how long can we live without food? Please be kind to Madam, please keep us, just treat us as slaves, and never dare to compete with Madam for favor..."
Li Mu knew clearly that she was a dancing girl, so no wonder she was dressed like a geisha from Pingkangfang.
Bai Qiaoqiao is a very soft-hearted person. Seeing such a situation, she didn't know what to do for a moment. Li Zhien knew her best and knew that Bai Qiaoqiao would definitely not be able to bear it if she continued to cry for a while.
, quickly took over the conversation and said: "That can't be left either!"
"Zhien..." Bai Qiaoqiao leaned close to Li Zhien's ear and said, "But if we don't stay, how will they live..."
"Madam!" Li Zhien stamped his feet anxiously and said: "Madam, including you and me, there are already four ladies in the family. Do you want one more? The origins of these two women are unknown, and Gaochang is thousands of miles away.
Other than that, there is no way to verify it. What if their identities are fake and they have ulterior motives? Therefore, whether it is for the stability of the family or the safety of the owner, they cannot be left behind. You must not be confused.
!”
"This..." Bai Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "Okay, I won't keep it, but how to arrange it?"
"Well..." Li Zhien thought for a while and said, "Listen to me."
As Li Zhien spoke, he came to the two of them and said: "You don't have to cry pitifully. If you can't stay, you can't stay. There's no point in crying. Just now you said that you are dancers and musicians, and Pingkangfang is you."
It’s a good place, and I don’t ask you to sell your body, just go there to sing and dance, you can always make a living and maybe meet your beloved.”
