Just when all the dudes were trembling in fear, not knowing what kind of treatment they would receive, Li Mu suddenly bared his teeth and smiled, saying: "Education is a matter for tomorrow. I'm here to eat and drink with you today. Don't be polite. Over there is
Take your place, take your seat, and you won’t come home until you’re drunk!”
Seeing Li Mu's enthusiastic look, all the dandies were completely confused. What kind of idea is this? Just a moment ago, it was like a violent storm, but in the blink of an eye, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up? There are rumors that Zhulu Hou is moody, and it seems that what he said is true.
"Don't eat?"
Seeing that everyone was still, Li Mu's face dropped, and he said in a cold voice: "If you don't eat, I will have to find someone to feed you? Do you want to eat by yourself, or should I find someone to feed you?"
All the dandies looked at the imperial guards who were watching eagerly, swallowed their mouths, and said they would eat it themselves.
Li Mu burst out laughing and said: "Eat well and drink well. I don't like people to waste. If there is any table left, the people at that table will give it to me! Siwen, look at them."
Li Siwen immediately became happy, gearing up, and came to the dandies with a smile, and said: "Brothers, come on, don't be stunned, take a seat!"
The dandies were too angry to express themselves, and sat down expressionlessly one by one. At this moment, Li Mu shouted: "If you can't finish eating in half an hour, I will open your mouths and pour it in!"
Like a reminder, all the dandies dared not be lazy after hearing this, and they all hurriedly started eating. The timid ones didn't even bother to pick up chopsticks, and just grabbed it with their hands and ate it. It was as embarrassing as it was.
Li Siwen looked on, feeling somewhat pitiful for them. They were a bunch of ungrateful people, and no one dared to mess with them? All of a sudden, all the depression he had felt for many years disappeared, and he hummed a little tune happily.
Li Mu helplessly shook his head, hooked his hands, called Cheng Chumo and others aside, gave instructions, and went to do their own business.
Half an hour later, all the dandies finished eating the food and wine on the table, and they all burped. Cheng Chumo came to the crowd, said with a cold face: "Have you all eaten? Come over here after you have eaten!"
Fang Yiai was the one who summoned these dandies, and she had been criticized a lot during the meal. Seeing that Cheng Chumo wanted to take them away again, she quickly came over and asked, "Brother, what did the Marquis ask us to do?"
"Pitch a tent and sleep!"
"I want to go home!" Du He interjected: "After my father passed away, my mother watched me fall asleep every day before returning to her room to rest. This is filial piety. Do you want to interfere too?"
Cheng Chumo looked back, sneered, and said: "Du He, you can't tell me this. If you have the ability, go talk to someone." Cheng Chumo pointed to where Li Mu was standing and said, "Don't
Forgot, he is the one who takes care of your father’s funeral affairs, and your Du family owes him a favor. If your mother knew that you had offended him, would she not be able to deal with you according to the family law? "
"Huh!" Du He fell silent. Cheng Chumo was right. The Du family has strict rules. If he knew that he had offended Li Mu, he would have been punished with thirty lashes. After thirty lashes, the skin and flesh would be torn apart, and it wouldn't take more than three or two months.
It is impossible to raise a child well.
Walking eastward along the road, passing Fengqiuhuang, and then the arena, we arrived at an open space next to the city wall. This place had been cleared by the guards, and everything needed to set up a tent was piled next to it.
Cheng Chumo came to an open space and said, "It's getting late. I'll show you how to set up a tent. Learn it carefully. You won't be able to leave. From today on, you will have to live here. You can't put up a tent."
Okay, you have to sleep against the wall and it’s up to you whether you want to learn or not.”
Someone shouted: "I don't want to learn, but I don't believe that Li Mu dares to freeze us to death!"
Cheng Chumo looked over and didn't dissuade him. He lowered his head and picked up the poles and started to set up the tent. For a while, the dandies were divided into two groups, some were just selling their jobs while others were serious about learning. Setting up a tent was not that difficult.
Things soon became clear, and three or two people got together and started working. But those stubborn teenagers, seeing that no one was paying attention, looked at each other, turned around and tried to sneak away.
Before they had even taken ten steps, an arrow suddenly shot down from the city wall and struck a step away in front of them. The dandies turned around in shock and saw a group of forbidden soldiers appearing on the city wall at some point, all with their bows ready.
The arrow, look at the direction of the arrow, is actually aimed at them!
Cheng Chumo's voice came over: "I forgot to tell you, placing you here is to facilitate the imperial army on the city wall to 'take care' of you. A stone's throw from the city wall is your scope of activity. If you leave without reporting in advance,
If anything happens within this scope, you have to bear it yourself.”
"I want to find my dad!"
Someone yelled, and immediately they became one.
Cheng Chumo laughed and said: "You can't find your father if you want to find him. You have to wait for your father to find you. But you also have to think about who your father is. If your father is not as good as my father, I guess your father is here.
There’s no point in it, just be honest and do whatever you’re asked to do. If you talk too much nonsense, you’ll be the only one who’s tired.”
When the shouters heard Cheng Chumo say this, they all weighed in their hearts whether their father was worth enough. The result of the weighing was that it might not be enough. You must know that Cheng Chumo's father is the demon king Cheng Yaojin of Chang'an City. Today, the court
How many people dare to claim that they are above Cheng Yaojin?
Thinking of this, the dudes who were planning to run away all accepted their fate one after another. They returned to the crowd, picked up the tent materials, watched what others were doing, and started to do it.
At the Jingdong end, after having had enough wine and food, Li Siwen took the caravan people away. He had already rented a courtyard for the caravan people to live in the West City, so he took them there to settle down. As for Bai Gensheng, naturally
It was to reunite with Bai Nao'er and Wang Po. Bai Nao'er found a lot of helpers to help clean the streets. Seeing that nothing happened, Li Mu and Dugu Jiu returned home through the back door.
Dugu Jiu went home, changed his clothes and left. He had not been staying at Fengqiuhuang recently. Li Mu knew it, but he didn't ask. He knew what Dugu Jiu was doing. The horse racing was about to start. Dugu Jiu had been busy these days.
Dealing with Jianghu people.
Li Mu entered the house and found that Li Zhien was the only one there, so he asked Bai Qiaoqiao what he was doing. He was not surprised when he learned that he was going to Bai Naoer's place. After all, Bai Gensheng had been away from home for several months before returning, so he wanted to pay attention to his sister.
That's right. And since we're so close, we'll be back soon.
"Husband..." Li Zhien came over and helped Li Mu take off his tiger fur. His little hand reached into his clothes and touched his abdominal muscles. Li Mu held her hand down and said, "Little girl, what's going on again?"
Why? If you don't call me master, but call me husband, I don't know what to do. I always feel that you are up to something new."
"Let's get used to it first," Li Zhien pouted in dissatisfaction and snorted: "They say we are all wives, but in fact there is no hierarchy. I am used to calling you master, but not husband.
How can you be so partial?"
Li Mu fell on the bed, kicked off his boots, and said: "This is not partiality, this is called rules. I can treat you like a madam, but a madam is a madam, and a concubine is a concubine. Don't say that I am just a little marquis.
Even if you are your Majesty, don’t you only have one queen? This matter is incomparable, haven’t we already agreed?”
Li Zhien also climbed onto the bed, lay down next to Li Mu, squeezed closer to him, and said coquettishly: "I was just joking, why are you being so serious about it? Isn't it okay to be envious of someone who can't be a wife?"
Li Mu turned around, raised his hand and scratched her nose, and said: "Don't think about things you shouldn't think about. If you think too much, you will easily have thoughts you shouldn't have. You are smart and smart, you should understand what I am saying.
What."
"Oh..." Li Zhien pouted, squeezed into Li Mu's arms, pursed his lips and remained silent.
Li Mu gently held her waist, changed the topic and asked: "How are the preparations for the wedding going? We don't have to think about saving money, we are living well now... To be honest, getting married, even if we spend a lot of money,
How much money can I spend? Besides, I, Li Mu, am getting married, and I am a well-known person in Chang'an. No one can give me any gifts. I have made up for it anyway. There is no need to save, just pick up the expensive ones!"
"No." Li Zhien pouted and said, "I've already thought about it. I'll make a nice dress to wear when we get married, then set up a few tables of wine in the yard and invite relatives and friends over for a meal. That's fine. No need.
What kind of ostentation do you want, I don’t like it.”
"Ah?" Li Mu turned to look at Li Zhien and said, "You must be angry, right? Why are you talking about anger? Aren't you looking forward to getting married? Why did you suddenly change your temper?"
"Ouch..." Li Zhien climbed onto Li Mu, looked into his eyes, and said, "I'm looking forward to it, but... when you and your wife get married, you keep everything simple. I am the second wife, if
I'm doing such a big job, what will outsiders think? My wife will also feel uncomfortable, so I thought about it again and again, it would be simpler." Suddenly Li Zhien laughed, pecked Li Mu on the face, and said: "Actually,
It would be great if you could marry the master. How grand and luxurious it is is not important in the first place. However, I have a request that I would like to discuss with the master."
"Well, tell me."
"Master, when we get married, can we wear our Goguryeo clothes? I saw the clothes we wore when we were getting married when I was a child. They looked so good. I want to wear them too."
"Oh..." Li Mu didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow you go to the opposite side and ask Ou to find a tailor to make it for you."
"I don't need her help." Li Zhien rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky, humming: "Our daughter's family in Goguryeo all makes their own wedding dresses. I will buy the cloth tomorrow and sew it myself, and wait until the Lantern Festival to get married.
I finished sewing it by the time I did it, so I didn’t need help from anyone else.”
"Ha..." Li Mu laughed and said, "Okay, it's up to you. At worst, during the Lantern Festival, we can wrap ourselves in a piece of cloth and worship."
"Stop looking down on others," Li Zhien snorted and said, "I will definitely do a good job!"
"It would be great to have this fighting spirit." Li Mu held Li Zhien in his arms, closed his eyes gently, and muttered: "Be less jealous in the future, it will be better than anything else."
"Yes," Li Zhien responded and leaned on Li Mu's shoulder. Suddenly he heard footsteps outside. Li Zhien quickly stood up, glanced at Li Mu, got out of bed and walked to the door: "Madam is back? I'll go find Xiaozhu.
Warehouse points.”
Bai Qiaoqiao responded and entered the room to see Li Mu lying on the bed. When he came to Li Mu, Li Mu reached out and pulled Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao fell on the bed and gave Li Mu an angry look.
"Madam, isn't Gensheng alive and kicking? It's not like I'm leaving tomorrow, why don't you worry? It's so late, don't you know how to go home early and take care of your little baby? Look at how red my face is.
What's going on, you don't even know how to care about me?"
"Didn't you drink?" Bai Qiaoqiao reached out and touched Li Mu's forehead and said, "It's not hot at all. I told you to drink less and you didn't listen. If you drink too much, you blame me."
"I blame you." Li Mu chuckled and said, "Who made you my wife? My wife, I'm short of husband today, let's go to bed early?" After saying that, Li Mu stretched out his hand to untie Bai Qiaoqiao's clothes.
Qiao blushed with embarrassment, slapped Li Mu's hand away, and said, "I'm not serious, I want to tell you something."
"Well... there's no need to delay," Li Mu continued. Bai Qiaoqiao blushed and rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't stop him.
Li Mu threw the clothes he took off into the corner, pulled the quilt over the two of them, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao sideways, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Husband, after the New Year, Gensheng is now sixteen."
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Dad just mentioned to me..." Bai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and whispered, "He said he planned to find a wife for Gensheng, but he didn't dare to tell you. He wanted me to tell you... Look
Can you, can you find someone for Gensheng..."
Li Mu understood the meaning, frowned and said, "What are you looking for? A lady?"
Bai Qiaoqiao heard that Li Mu's tone was wrong and hurriedly said: "Dad doesn't mean that everyone must be a lady, just someone with a better family background."
"How good is it?" Li Mu's voice became colder and said: "My father-in-law seems to be making trouble again. He may have forgotten everything I said to him. I will ask him tomorrow
, it depends on what kind of family background he wants to find. Don’t you know how much he weighs? And he is inciting family background!"
"Husband." Seeing that Li Mu was angry, Bai Qiaoqiao hugged his arm and shook him gently, saying coquettishly: "Husband, don't be angry. Poor parents in the world can't say that dad is wrong. Look at his daughter, why don't you find her?"
Have you married a good husband? Of course I also want my son to marry a good wife. Didn’t I ask you what you think? I didn’t say that I had to let you take care of it.”
"If you say that, then I won't be stubborn with you. My father-in-law's daughter has indeed found a good husband." Li Mu chuckled. Bai Qiaoqiao rarely acted coquettishly, but every time she did, Li Mu supported her.
I couldn't help it, I was a little angry, but it disappeared.
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "If you want to ask my opinion, I only have one opinion. It depends on Gensheng himself. It depends on what he likes. As a brother-in-law, I can only say that he should support it."
Sometimes, I will support him and prevent him from being looked down upon by others. As for the family background, tell your father, don’t be envious. Just like my sworn brother Li Siwen, it’s not about my face, he is the country’s
The father-in-law is the equal of the father-in-law. Haven’t you counted our family background? We are incomparable to anyone else, so don’t be picky and save your face."
