"Big brother, big brother, you can't smash it, I, I, I, I found it!"
Li Siwen squeezed out from the crowd, dressed in red and with a glowing face. Li Mu looked at him like this and frowned: "What are you doing? What's wrong with you?"
Li Siwen looked serious and said: "Brother! I'm not crazy. When I got up this morning, I thought about what you said last night. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. As you said, you and your sister-in-law are both ordered by your parents.
What the matchmaker said, as your brother, how can I not follow suit? Since my father has already decided on this marriage for me, and you think it is feasible, then I will marry her! You are right, brother, who should I marry?
It’s not about marrying, and it’s not like I can only marry one woman. If I marry her, and if she doesn’t suit my needs, I’ll marry another woman. If I still don’t suit my liking, I’ll marry another woman. Anyway, I can afford to have a big family, so what are you afraid of?
"
"My father gave me hundreds of hectares of land. I have a city on the other side of Dingxiang. Although I am very poor now, I will get rich sooner or later. Moreover, I followed my elder brother's example and bought tens of thousands of acres of land. When the time comes, he will plant
Whatever, I will plant whatever I want. If my elder brother gets rich, I will also get rich!" Li Siwen approached Li Mu and lowered his voice and said: "Brother, I find you are the smarter one. What do you think this person is doing when he is rich? Isn't that the right thing to do?
Marry more women and have more children, otherwise wouldn't all this money be wasted? You are right, I will marry Miss Qin first, whether it looks good or not will be put aside for now, she is the daughter of the Duke of the country.
, a dowry must be indispensable, hahaha..."
Li Mu watched Li Siwen's performance coldly, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Xian, you are so right! Without further ado, wait for me, I will change my clothes and accompany you to propose marriage!"
"Ah?!" Li Siwen was dumbfounded and hurriedly stopped Li Mu and said: "Brother, I'm not really that anxious. I just want to practice. I don't like this drumming very much. Brother, wait."
Li Siwen chased him to the door, but was completely stunned when Li Mu slammed the door shut and blocked him outside.
What he prepared was a desperate plan. He thought that if he said this, Li Mu would definitely stop him. He borrowed Po Xia's donkey again to avoid the marriage. Unexpectedly, Li Mu borrowed Po Xia's donkey. Now it was difficult to get off the tiger. What happened?
good?
While he was in a daze, Li Mu had already changed into a brocade robe and came out. He usually wore tiger fur, and had made countless brocade robes. It was rare to wear them once, and today he made an exception for Li Siwen.
"Let's go, sooner rather than later, let's get married today!"
"Brother..." Li Siwen's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground. He hugged Li Mu's arm and begged, "Brother, I'm kidding, I don't want to get married."
Li Mu lowered his face and said: "Good boy, you are the one who said we are going to get married, and you are the one who said we are not getting married. Are you kidding me? How can I, Li Mu, a noble military lord, be so humiliated? Today you go to propose marriage, you and I
We are still brothers. If you don’t go, then you will be fine! You will be strangers from now on!”
"Big brother"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, a vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Excuse me, is this the location of Zhuluhou?"
Li Mu looked towards the door: "Who is looking for me?"
"I'm Qin Qiong."
Li Mu froze, and Li Siwen also froze. Li Mu quickly glared at Li Siwen, took out his hand and walked to the door. He saw Qin Huaidao was also beside him, but he didn't care. He greeted Qin Qiong as if he hadn't seen him: "I don't know Yi Yi."
The prince of the country has arrived, but I am at a loss to welcome him from afar."
There was no trace of embarrassment at all. Qin Huaidao, who was holding the basket in his arms, was stunned. How could a person be so shameless? The swelling on my face has not gone away yet!
Qin Qiong coughed lightly, returned the greeting with a smile, and said: "No need to be too modest, Lord Zhulu. Although you and I have never met, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. We meet you today, and you are indeed a young talent. Won't you invite me in to sit with you?"
"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, Duke Yi, please." Li Mu stepped aside and Qin Qiong saw Li Siwen. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Li Mu took Qin Qiong to his study and separated Qin Huaidao and Li Siwen outside.
Li Siwen felt very happy when he saw Qin Huaidao's reluctant face. Yesterday, he and Qin Huaidao were fighting hard to separate each other. Qin Huaidao lost the prize, and he was really beaten several times. He still hurt when he woke up this morning.
Woolen cloth.
Seeing Qin Huaidao holding a basket in his arms, he stretched out his hand to lift the cloth covering it. Qin Huaidao turned sideways and did not block it, but Li Siwen saw what was inside.
"Beef jerky?"
In Chang'an, except for Li Mu's family and Cheng Yaojin's house, where can you see beef jerky? Li Siwen didn't eat it often, so he took advantage of Qin Huaidao's unpreparedness and quickly grabbed one.
"Are you taking my jerky?" Qin Huaidao was furious. This jerky was hard-earned. Cows are laborers and are not allowed to be killed. But apprenticeship requires jerky and pork jerky. Qin Qiong thought it was too disrespectful to Li Mu and inappropriate, so he had to get beef.
I couldn't do it. But I searched all over Chang'an and couldn't buy beef jerky. Finally, I heard that a cow died a few days ago and the Cheng family made some jerky. Qin Qiong went to get some in person.
Cheng Yaojin still refused to give it to him. Qin Qiong was trying to talk things over and brought out all the years of friendship to get ten of them. The idea was perfect, but Li Siwen ate one, which ruined the good mood.
Qin Huaidao stretched out his hand to grab it, but Li Siwen dodged it like a rabbit and escaped ten feet away. After confirming that Qin Huaidao couldn't reach it, he broke off a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth to chew, saying, "Why are you so stingy? That's right.
A piece of beef jerky? There are plenty of them in my elder brother's warehouse. If you feel sorry for me, I can just bring them back to you later... Hmm? Why does this taste the same as the one in my elder brother's warehouse? Did you steal my elder brother's?
"
"How could he have stolen it? Where did he get the beef jerky? My dad got it from Uncle Cheng!"
"That's not bad." Li Siwen smiled and said, "When I came back the day before yesterday, I saw people from the Cheng family coming to deliver dried meat. It must be a cow."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, so you return it to me. This is useful!"
"Useful?" Li Siwen stopped chewing and asked blankly: "What is it used for? Isn't beef jerky just for eating?"
"That's not for you to eat!" Qin Huaidao came over in a few steps and snatched it back. Although a piece was eaten, it was stuffed into the basket and could not be seen. He glanced at Li Siwen and thought that this person would be
My brother-in-law is my brother-in-law, and I feel heartbroken all of a sudden. I have such a pity on my beautiful girl, why did I entrust it to such a guy?
"Can't you be more serious? Like a human being?"
"Why don't I look like a human being?" Li Siwen said angrily: "I, Li Siwen, am also known as the second among my peers in Chang'an City. Oh, no, the third handsome young man, why am I not like anyone else?
?”
"Second, third? Hehe, even if you are self-aware, you don't dare to claim first place."
"Alas..." Li Siwen thought of the profile of Dugu Jiu he saw that day, sighed, and said: "Originally, in my heart, the most handsome young man is my eldest brother, and the second most handsome is me. But. After I met him that day, I suddenly realized that my eldest brother can only be ranked second, and I can only be ranked third... But it’s okay, they are all brothers, and it’s good for me to be third.”
"..." Qin Huaidao almost fainted. He has seen shameless people, but never such shameless ones. No wonder he is Li Mu's brother, he is simply carved out of the same mold!
Qin Huaidao turned his head to the other side, not intending to talk to Li Siwen. But Li Siwen didn't want to let him go like this. He was so sticky that he pointed at the basket and asked, "Hey, what are you doing with this beef jerky?" Not yet? When Qin Huaidao answered, Li Siwen's face changed drastically, and he said in shock: "You must have taken the laxative and wanted to harm my brother, right? Oh, I took it, it's over, it's over, it's over, you are so vicious, Qin Huaidao!"
Qin Huaidao couldn't bear it: "What fart are you farting? I am"
At this moment, the door of the study room opened, and Li Mu walked out. Seeing this scene, he said in a deep voice: "Dao'er, why are you talking to your uncle like this! Why don't you apologize to your uncle quickly?"
"I..." Qin Huaidao almost choked himself to death, feeling so aggrieved. He glanced at Qin Qiong next to Li Mu, and said to himself, Dad, Dad, you have made it difficult for you to read!
Li Siwen's face was full of confusion. Before he could react, Qin Huaidao bowed to him politely: "I'm sorry, uncle."
"Ah... get up, get up, brother, what's going on?"
Li Mu couldn't help but want to laugh, and pointed at Qin Huai Dao: "Just now, Duke Yi had a serious talk with me, saying that Qin Huai Dao is very stubborn and does not want to study and make progress, but instead hangs around the market all day long, fighting. This way. If he goes down, the Qin family will be defeated sooner or later by him. Duke Yi Guo sees it and is anxious in his heart. He heard that I taught Changsun Chong, another idiot who is as famous as Qin Huaidao, to become a talented person, so he thought that it would be better to treat a dead horse as a living horse. Doctor, let him worship me as his teacher and learn the great principles of life. I didn’t want to accept him at first, but I was moved by Duke Yi’s sincerity and thought about it, that’s all. I thought it was to give Duke Yi a face and reluctantly accepted him. Accept him as your apprentice."
"Brother! You are so awesome!" Li Siwen was so excited, this is my eldest brother! Others can only defeat their opponents, but my eldest brother not only defeated their opponents, but also accepted them as his disciples! Let him call him master, this is how proud he is in life, let him People are so envious! He came to Qin Huaidao and was about to quiver. Suddenly Qin Qiong's voice sounded: "My dear nephew, I just heard from your sworn brother that you want to marry my daughter Qin Yu. Even the matter of proposing marriage has not been solved yet." It's all ready. The gongs and drums team just outside the door are just for the marriage proposal, right?"
"Ah?" Li Siwen was confused and didn't know how to answer.
Qin Qiong smiled and said to Li Mu: "The matter of becoming a disciple is settled like this. You first take off the bundle, and when I find the Qintian Supervisor to choose an auspicious day, I will invite the two senior brothers from Huai Dao to bear witness. The ceremony of apprenticeship is officially performed, let’s go back today.”
"Okay, okay, Duke Yi Guo can decide everything."
Qin Qiong nodded and winked at Qin Huaidao: "Give the bundle to your brother-in-law and let him carry it for your master. Let's go back today."
Qin Huaidao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he put the basket into Li Siwen's hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Excuse me, my dear brother-in-law! I'm waiting for you to propose marriage!"
