Seeing Li Mu's tough stance, Li Siwen immediately became happy and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, it's really not easy for you. It's also my brother-in-law who is too much of a loser. If there is someone as good as me and a person as loyal as my elder brother, he will definitely not do it."
I won’t support you.”
Li Muzhao hit him on the back of the head and said, "If you weren't my brother, would I pay any attention to you?"
"Brother, don't be like this. In front of my father-in-law, you have to praise me a few times. I don't want to lose face?" Li Siwen muttered and stood silently beside him.
Li Siwen's words reminded Li Mu that Qin Huaidao was Li Siwen's brother-in-law anyway. Considering this relationship, he couldn't refuse too ruthlessly. After thinking about it, Li Mu said to Qin Qiong: "It's not that I'm not accommodating.
It's the yamen gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They do very professional things. If Huai Dao hasn't studied, he won't be effective at any yamen gate. Even if I don't drive him away, he won't be able to stay there.
Live. So you still have to learn. If you don’t learn, it won’t work.”
Qin Qiong nodded slightly and said: "I understand what you mean. Huai Dao is a bit naughty. Since he is under your sect, I will entrust him to you. You have the final say how you want to teach him."
Li Siwen couldn't help but interrupt again and said: "My father-in-law, I think you are asking for a lot of money to pay back the money. You are afraid that my elder brother will not accept your son, so you said that deliberately. It's okay now, let's all take a step back."
Qin Qiong's thoughts were revealed, and she blushed. She glared at Li Siwen and said, "What are you talking about? I already knew that Zhuluhou was a man of faith. How could I be so worried? It's you, kid, who has spoken.
Why are you so careless? My daughter married you, which really makes me regret my whole life!"
Li Siwen chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. The rice is cooked, and I'll make sure you have a grandson next time I come back!"
Qin Qiong was so angry that she couldn't speak. She snorted and walked into the courtyard with her hands behind her hands. Her daughter was about to leave, and a father always had something to say. Seeing Qin Qiong enter the courtyard, Li Siwen leaned close to Li Mu's ear.
He said: "Brother, let me tell you something!"
"Say it!"
"Come to the edge," Li Siwen tugged on Li Mu's sleeve and pulled him to the corner. Li Mu frowned and looked at him and said, "What on earth is so mysterious?"
Li Siwen took a deep breath, looked extremely serious, and said, "Brother, I met Li Yourong yesterday."
Li Mu couldn't help but get angry and glared: "Are you still treating her?"
"Brother, please keep your voice down!" Li Siwen covered Li Mu's mouth and lowered his voice: "How dare you think of me? I have a wife now, and she can also do martial arts. You know
Why don’t you beat me to death?”
"Then you still?"
"I, I..." Li Siwen sighed, lowered his head and said, "I just had a problem in my heart that I couldn't get over. I wanted to ask her face to face, so I met her."
Li Mu really couldn't understand Li Siwen's thinking and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Li Siwen raised his head and said, "I just want to know what she likes! Only then can I know why she lied to me when I gave her my heart!"
Li Mu was really defeated by Li Siwen's naivety, and said with a wry smile: "Then did she tell you?"
"Tell me." Li Siwen nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "She said that the man she wants to marry is worth more than ten thousand people."
"What kind of answer is this? She wants to be a queen? My niece married her uncle and her head got wet?" Li Mu sneered, waved his hand and said: "Ignore her, just tell me if you still have any nostalgia for her.
"
Li Siwen shook his head and said: "I really don't have it anymore, brother. Before we got married, I did have a knot in my heart, but after we got married, I felt that it was nothing. Although she lied to me,
But after all, it didn't hurt me. Besides, she was also a pitiful person. She said that she wanted to marry a man worth more than ten thousand people, but I was destined not to be such a person. Knowing the answer, I felt relieved.
From now on, she will be a passer-by in my life, after all, she is an old acquaintance."
"It's great that you think so." Li Mu patted Li Siwen on the shoulder and said, "Actually, in my opinion, you don't have any feelings for her, you just haven't experienced feelings, so you are too naive. If she
Even if you get it, you may not necessarily like him anymore. It’s just because you didn’t get it that you have an obsession. Now that you can let go of this obsession, it means that you are not too stupid."
"Remember, she is the princess, and she is also the daughter of Prince Yin. I don't need to tell you who Prince Yin is, right? Even if you like her, you'd better hide away, otherwise you may not get into trouble one day.
Son, when the time comes, not only will you get involved, but your family will be hurt as well."
"My sister-in-law is a smart person. When she is by your side in the future, don't hide anything from her. When you are hesitant, ask her for her opinion and don't take it seriously. She is a serious lady, how can she be like you?
Wandering around with less than half the bottle is a dandy!"
Li Siwen was unconvinced and said: "Brother, I am not as ineffective as you said. I have done a pretty good job in everything you told me. If you don't believe me, go to Dingxiang City and take a look. It has changed a lot now.
The merchants who come and go all agree that Xiangcheng is the most powerful city in the northwest!"
"Okay, okay, you're great, right?" Li Mu sighed and said, "Just run it well. When the day comes when your elder brother and I can no longer survive in Chang'an City, I will have to wait for you to help me."
Li Siwen smiled and said: "Brother, you are joking again. I came back to see who can offend you in Chang'an City now. You can make clouds and rain with your hands. It's you, brother! You want to
It’s not that I’m thinking about Dingxiang, I want to stay in Chang’an and follow you to gain some prestige!”
"You just look at the majesty and don't see the troubles. That's all. Why am I telling you this?" Li Mu looked at Li Siwen and said, "Now that you are married and a man, the responsibilities on your shoulders are also heavier.
Now, we need to be more prudent in doing things and not take too many risks. The batch of food you need is too large, and it will not be fully mobilized for a while. It will be transported in batches. There is also the hot air balloon. When I have almost finished the research, I will do it.
I’ll give you a set and send it along with the grain truck. This year’s spring plowing is very important and must be grasped. This is the top priority. If anything goes wrong, this thing cannot go wrong. Remember?
?”
Li Siwen nodded seriously and said, "I remember brother."
"Except for a few people around you, don't trust outsiders. Especially those who can't find out the roots. You must not trust them casually. Drink less and don't get drunk. At any time, the sentinels must be released for at least thirty miles. Western Turks
It's not peaceful over there. Dingxiang is the only way for the Western Turks to advance eastward, so be careful. If something happens, don't be as stubborn as we were when we were guarding the city. Run when you need to.
As long as a person is alive, revenge will be avenged sooner or later, but if a person is dead, you won't be able to see a monument set up for you."
"Yeah!" Li Siwen nodded heavily, but couldn't help complaining: "Brother, you are too nagging. You just said that I am a man. I am not stupid and I know what to do."
"The more you act like this, the more worried I am!"
Li Siwen chuckled and said, "If you are really worried, then come over here sometime and see with your own eyes, won't you feel relieved?"
"I will definitely go this year. You have a sister-in-law over there. I have to go to welcome you!" Li Mu thought of Zhang Tianai. After a new year, a letter came from him. The first word in the letter didn't mention him, and he didn't know.
What exactly is this woman thinking?
"On the other side of the Tiansha Alliance, remember one thing: don't starve them, and don't feed them too much. Usman, as of now, cannot be trusted very much."
"Yes!" Li Siwen agreed again. At this time, Bai Gensheng and Cheng Chumo arrived, and Li Mu stopped nagging and came out with Li Siwen to greet them. Cheng Yaojin also came today, and when he saw that Li Mu was also there, he got off his horse and
A voice like a broken gong roared: "My dear nephew, how did you fly up that day? When you fly next time, take me, Old Cheng, with you and let me fly too!"
"That thing is called a hot air balloon. It's not very mature yet. It can fly up, but it can't come down. When I finish the research, I will definitely inform Uncle Cheng."
"It's easy to talk." Cheng Yaojin patted Li Mu on the shoulder, glanced at Li Siwen again, pulled Cheng Chumo over, and said: "You brothers will be together in the future, get along well! If there is anything that cannot be solved,
When I write back, I will never be vague about the things I can do, and the things I can't do." He pointed at Li Mu and said, "Isn't there him?"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Uncle, you are too flattering. What you can't do, let alone a junior like me, can't do."
"Don't be so modest. You are the most popular person in the court now!" Cheng Yaojin roared and turned into the courtyard. Before he had gone far, the shout had already penetrated the entire mansion: "
Li Ji, old man, when guests come to your door, don’t you greet them at the door?”
"Whoever wants to greet you, hurry up and leave!"
"I sent my son to your son, and you're still driving me away? Old Qin, you say he's unreasonable or not!"
"I help my in-laws."
"You are totally blind when you marry your daughter to his family. I have six sons, and none of them are top-notch talents. I have asked to marry you several times, but you just don't agree. Old Qin, you will regret it sooner or later!"
The three of them started arguing, regardless of whether the juniors could hear them. Li Siwen was so angry that his face changed, but he did not dare to argue. Cheng Chu stood silently beside him, his face full of embarrassment, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Mu looked at a few people and said, "What are you still doing? Pack up and leave quickly. Do you like to hear it?"
Everyone suddenly realized that Li Siwen ran into the yard to help Qin Yu pack her things and pulled her into the car. The others also performed their duties and sped up. It originally took an hour to leave, but they finished packing in half an hour. Wang
Hu and Bai Gensheng led the way, Cheng Chumo and Li Siwen held the line at the back, and the team set off in a mighty manner.
This time, many of Qin Qiong's old personal guards followed Li Siwen. In name, they were protecting Qin Yu, but in fact, they were the father-in-law's care for his son-in-law. Generals like Qin Qiong and Li Ji could serve as personal guards around them.
All of them are warrior kings. If one can block ten of them, they may not be able to stop them on the battlefield, but in actual combat, their effect will definitely be greater than that of ten warriors.
Li Mu rode a horse and followed the team until they were sent out of the city. He parted with them when they reached Ba Bridge. At the intersection in front of Ba Bridge, the team headed west, while Li Mu crossed the bridge and headed south. After crossing the bridge,
Li Mu paused at the bridge for a long time, watching the team disappear from sight, before heading off to the valley.
This time we were separated and it would take several months to see each other again. We would not be able to see each other until after spring when he went to marry Zhang Tianai.
In a few years, it might look the same again.
Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little sad. He suddenly realized that he couldn't keep the people around him that he wanted to keep. This was the case for Li Siwen, the same for Li Chongyi, and the same for Dugujiu. None of them knew what they wanted to leave, but they all left passively.
When they left and devoted themselves to their own careers, they couldn't come back even if they wanted to. Because they were tied up by their own affairs. Just like Li Siwen, he said he wanted to stay in Chang'an, but he still took the initiative to do so.
Are you leaving?
Dingxiang has become his career and he can't let it go.
This made Li Mu feel a little bit like "men are all big pigs", but when he thought about himself, he seemed to be the same, so he could only smile bitterly.
Returning to the valley, he saw smoke rising from the small courtyard in the distance. It was obvious that Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien had returned, and Li Mu couldn't help but feel warm. The brother was gone, but his wife was still there. As expected, he had to be by his side.
My own woman.
Li Mu couldn't help but speed up, and he arrived at the door of his house at a glance. He tied up the horse, entered the yard, and saw Li Zhien lighting the fire, and Bai Qiaoqiao was busy working on the stove. Li Mu suddenly remembered that Bai Qiaoqiao was pregnant, and his face turned frightened.
Everything has changed. He rushed into the kitchen in three steps at a time, grabbed the things in her hands, and said: "Ouch, blame me, blame me, I don't think about anything, you are already pregnant, how can I let you
Cook by yourself, and I will find ten or eight maids to come over tomorrow. This is really "
Seeing Li Mu's face filled with self-blame, Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Why are you so surprised, husband? You have just become pregnant, and you haven't even shown that you are pregnant. You don't need anyone to take care of you."
"That won't work, I have to serve you." Li Mu rolled up his arms and sleeves, washed his hands, and said: "There are no maids today. Husband, I will be your maid for a while. You both stay away. Today I will cook. Recently I
I am addicted to cooking, no one can stop me."
Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I heard that my husband cooked for Sister Ou yesterday."
Li Mu turned around while washing rice and asked strangely: "Weren't you at Mom's place yesterday? How did you know?"
"Before I came back in the morning, I went to Jingdong Market and met Sister Ou." Li Zhien pouted and said, "My husband is so heartbroken that I just got married and went to sleep with Sister Ou!"
