Li Mu was thinking about ways to make money when he suddenly heard Mrs. Sun asking him about his trip experience. He hesitated and decided to tell the truth. The two people in the room now should be the closest people to him in the world. Mrs. Sun is his mother-in-law.
Needless to say, Bai Qiaoqiaoqiao is kind to the Li family. Today, something like this happened again. She is also homeless. She will definitely stay with the Li family in the future. Regardless of whether they are married or not, they are still a family.
There is nothing to avoid. Moreover, the money on his person also needs a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, given Sun's character, he will definitely not feel at ease.
Li Mu then told the story of his trip, starting from leaving home, how he was captured by the Turkic cavalry, how he was transferred to the Tieshan Turkic camp, how he was selected as a cook, how he met the Tang envoy, and how he negotiated an escape camp
He told the story of how he stunned the guards and escaped from the Turkic camp at night, and then met the Tang army scouts and sent him a letter.
Naturally, there are some things that cannot be fully explained, such as Mi Xiang, who he said was given by Tang Jian. In order not to worry Sun, he did not say anything about the arrow, and he did not mention anything about the system. It was not because of distrust, but because
I don’t know how to explain it, it’s too bizarre. As for the money, it was said to be a reward from Li Jing. There were eight guans in total. I spent some on the way and gave them to Sun. I just gave six guans to Bai Laowei, and there are still six guans left.
How much money do you need?
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun started talking about not treating the disease. Li Mu refused and asked Bai Qiaoqiao to ask for a doctor. After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao came back with an old doctor. He saw the doctor, prescribed a prescription and arrested him.
The medicine cost two hundred cents. The price is not low. It seems that no matter what era, medical treatment is a big expense.
There was no rice at home, so Li Mu gave Bai Qiaoqiao another 100 cents to buy rice. The price of grain in the Tang Dynasty was 20 cents per dou of rice. If you buy a dou of rice with this money, you will still have a lot left over to buy some meat.
To replenish Sun's health. It's not that Li Mu is reluctant to give money to Bai Qiaoqiao, but he doesn't have much in hand now, and he still has to find ways to make money. The damn system wants money everywhere, so money is really tight.
Li Mu fed Sun porridge and boiled medicine, and Bai Qiaoqiao fed her some. Sun chatted for a while, then she fell asleep holding Bai Qiaoqiao's hand. Seeing her mother sleeping soundly, Li Mu motioned to Bai Qiaoqiao.
By chance, the two of them came to the west wing. Li Mu walked behind and closed the door.
Bai Qiaoqiao's heart was pounding. She couldn't tell what Li Mu was thinking. All along, Li Mu had always been kind to her. Bai Qiaoqiao had the impression that Li Mu looked down on her. Today, Li Mu was able to throw six goals.
The money 'bought' her, much beyond her expectation. Does he have any interest in me? In that case, what does he want to do by dragging me here? But we haven't gotten married yet, do you want to fulfill his wishes?
Bai Qiaoqiao secretly glanced at Li Mu. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Li Mu was obviously not handsome, and because he had been detained in the grassland for several months, his hair was like withered grass. He looked like a beggar. But in Bai Qiaoqiao's view,
, but the more she opened her eyes, the more she liked her, her pretty face turned red, and she thought to herself, that's all, my father has already sold me, and I will follow him sooner or later, so what if I follow his wishes?
Li Mu didn't know what Bai Qiaoqiao was thinking. He called Bai Qiaoqiao over because he had something to say to her.
"Thank you for speaking up for our Li family about what happened today. I know you have been wronged and will definitely make up for it. As for you and me..."
When Li Mu mentioned the matter between the two of them, Bai Qiaoqiao misunderstood what he meant. She felt bitter and said, "I won't embarrass you. I know you don't like me. Now that I don't have a home, I can't
I don’t ask for anything else. I can accompany my aunt, have food to eat, and be a maid, and I will be satisfied.”
Li Mu hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant. You are kind to my Li family, and my mother likes you very much. How can I treat you as a maid? It's just that emotional matters are related to your happiness in life, so don't be careless. I listen.
The words you said make me feel like you don’t like me, you just want to abide by the agreement..."
"I'm not!" Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help but speak out. As soon as the words came out, she was so embarrassed and her courage ran out. She couldn't say the next words. Li Mulu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this girl is really interested in me.
But the words had already reached this point and it was difficult to change his words, so he pretended not to hear it and continued: "Anyway, let's get along and see. If we get along, we will be together. If we don't get along, or you have
If you like me, as my brother, I will also buy you a generous dowry, which should be regarded as repaying your kindness."
Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at him and reminded in a low voice: "I am three years older than you."
Li Mu suddenly felt embarrassed, coughed, and said: "Then as a younger brother, the same goes for siblings, how about that?"
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement. At present, it seems that this is the best way to deal with it.
Suddenly, Li Mu thought of another thing and said, "If you and your father have such a quarrel today, there will be no gossip in this city in the future. And depending on your father's temper... there may be entanglements. What do you think?"
Bai Qiaoqiaoqiao's eyes turned red and she said miserably: "My father has sold me to you, what else can I think about. No one can control other people's mouths. They can just say what they want. I just want to serve you well."
..." He glanced at Li Mu and said, "That's all I need to do to serve you well."
Glancing at Bai Qiao Qiaoqiao, Li Mu felt that his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. How come this girl is so beautiful and her eyes are so sultry? What was Li Mu thinking and could he turn a blind eye to her?
Li Mu expressed his thoughts and said: "I plan to move to Dingxiang City when my mother's illness gets better. As soon as I found the Tang Army's camp there, I made some meritorious deeds, and the general promised that there would be
A reward, even an official or a half-job would be much better than staying here. Besides, people's words can be feared, and three people can make a tiger. He is your father after all. He is the only one who can arrange you, and you can't arrange him.
The city is only such a big place, and if you look up and don't look down, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it as time goes by."
Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly thought of her mother, holding back tears, and said: "I am already a sold person, so I don't have any relatives. Everything is up to you. Wherever you are, I will follow you."
"Okay, now that you have said that, I will start making arrangements. It's getting late, so you and your mother can rest somewhere, and I'm going to sleep too."
Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at him, bit her lower lip, turned around and walked out. Li Mu watched her walk into the east chamber before closing the door. She lay down on the kang, unable to fall asleep. Many things were running through her mind.
Li Mu's original memory also contained worries about the unknown future. Suddenly he heard a sound outside the door. He got up and lay down at the crack of the door to see that it was Bai Qiaoqiao who was worried that he would catch a cold and came to burn the kang for him.
Li Mu felt warm in his heart and thought to himself that she was really a good woman. If he could marry her, there would be nothing wrong with her. None of the girlfriends he had dated in his previous life were so virtuous, and they all broke up in the end.
Li Mu lay on the kang again, and there was already heat coming up, which made him feel more comfortable after sleeping on the ground since time immemorial. Li Mu stretched out his waist, closed his eyes, called up the system in his mind, and started browsing.
The top priority now is to make money, but making money requires skills and capital. The only thing you need is capital, and skills must rely on the system. Now I have learned two skills in total, elementary pharmacy and elementary riding. Riding in this world is almost a must for a man.
Yes, you definitely can’t make money from this. Pharmacy should be able to make money, but learning formulas requires money, and medicinal materials also require money, which is simply unaffordable now. Among all skills, pharmacy is also considered a highly profitable one.
Skills. Based on the current situation, Li Mu looked at them one by one. It seemed that none of the manufacturing skills were economical. Based on his current situation, he basically couldn't afford them.
Then we can only start with basic skills. Basic skills correspond to advanced skills and are the basis of advanced skills. For example, herb picking, mining, skinning, etc. are to provide raw materials for advanced skills such as medicine, forging, and leather making.
. It saves money to learn basic skills. It only costs five coins, but now he only has one or two in total, so he still can’t learn them casually.
After much thought, Li Mu couldn't find a way to make money quickly, so he finally had to give up and cure his mother's illness first. When the family arrived in Dingxiang City, if they could see Tang Jian again, even if they were shameless,
You must first get a future from him, and you must not risk your life to deliver the message for him.
Perhaps it was her son who came back to celebrate the occasion. After taking the medicine, Mrs. Sun broke into a sweat. When she woke up the next day, her face had improved a lot and her cough had become lighter. Seeing that the medicine worked, Li Mu hurriedly took another medicine.
After taking two doses and three doses of medicine, Sun's illness was miraculously cured.
In Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes, it was a miracle, but in Li Mu's eyes, there was nothing surprising. In the final analysis, it was just a cold. As long as there were no complications, it was normal for it to heal quickly. Sun's disease was cured, and the whole family was very happy.
Li Mu took the opportunity to talk about his idea of moving to Dingxiangcheng. Sun thought for a while and then agreed. She also thought that if she stayed in Mayi, Bai Qiaoqiao would definitely be under a lot of pressure, and Bai Naoer would definitely be entangled.
She didn't know, and her life was uneasy. She had finally found such a good wife as Bai Qiaoqiao, and she didn't want to lose her. Since she couldn't do anything to Bai Nao'er, moving away might as well be a solution.
Seeing that Sun agreed, Li Mu went to find the Yaren, negotiated a price, and sold the house. The two houses were sold for two yuan. The price was a bit low. The normal price should be half a yuan more, but he was eager to sell.
, the price is already pretty good. The family packed their things, throwing away any items that were too big or too heavy, and basically brought all the small items that could be used. The house was worth tens of thousands of dollars, so they had to buy everything that was missing. Li Mu hired a car
The ox cart left Mayi early in the morning without disturbing anyone.
