When Li Mu came out of Gongyuan, he saw Bai Qiaoqiao waving across the street, and Dugujiu stood behind her. Li Mu quickly walked over, gently took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand, and complained: "Madam, I'm not telling you
No need to come over. Your husband is a genius. What can happen to a genius? Just wait here with your big belly. If you are tired, I might as well not take the exam."
Bai Qiaoqiao lowered her head and glanced at her belly. In fact, it was only two months old. How could she have a big belly? She glanced at him angrily and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Where is your mother?"
"Mom?" Li Mu raised his head and looked around: "Where is it? Didn't you see it?"
"It's in the car over there. The carriage can't get through here, so Xiaojiu and I came over first and waited."
Li Mu felt Dugujiu's concerned gaze and nodded. Dugujiu then looked away, as if the person who just looked over was not him.
"Husband, why did you come out so early? Are the exam questions difficult?"
"Is it difficult..." Li Mu shrugged and said, "It shouldn't be difficult. Anyway, I don't think there is anything difficult..." Suddenly Li Mu slapped his thigh, as if he remembered something, and said eagerly: "
I almost forgot something important. Oops, how much money will it cost me to make?" Li Mu grabbed Dugujiu's arm and said, "Is the second dog here? Is this dog here?"
Dugujiu was also stunned, and quickly replied: "Here he is, by the old lady's side."
"Let's go, let's go, I have something to do with him!" Li Mu said, running ahead. Bai Qiaoqiao and Dugujiu had to follow. Fortunately, no candidates came out at this time, and the streets were not crowded. Soon
Then they came to the place where the carriage was parked.
"Ergou, come here!"
Ergou heard Li Mu calling him and ran over quickly: "What orders does the Marquis have?"
"Go, hurry up, open a handicap at Sihai Gambling House, and bet on whether I can win the top prize. The higher the odds, the better. Then put all the existing money in the gambling house and bet on whether I can win. This time the money will be
Hou wants to kill the whole city!"
"Ah?" Ergou was stunned. He felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only look at Dugujiu eagerly, hoping that he would stand up and say something. He didn't dare to expect Bai Qiaoqiao, and besides, Bai Qiaoqiao
Qiaoqiao has never asked about the gambling house, and she may not understand.
Dugujiu had played in gambling houses a few times, but he didn't have any addiction, so he didn't know much about gambling houses. Facing Ergou's gaze, he turned his eyes aside. Ergou had no choice but to hold on.
Scalp said: "Master Hou... would you like to think more carefully? The odds are a little bit, a little bit."
"What do you mean?" Li Mu stared at Ergou's eyes and said, "Ha, now that you have become the leader, you dare to question me, right?"
"No, no, no, I don't dare. In front of the Marquis, I will always be the second dog, not the leader. It's just that...the gambling house currently has nearly 100,000 coins, all of which are pressed against this. If there is a millionaire,
One hundred thousand guan, I have to remind the Marquis."
"What are you afraid of with 100,000 guan? You go to Changsun Chong and take another 100,000 guan from the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to beat me to win. It will be regarded as His Majesty's bet."
"This..." Ergou suddenly felt the cold wind on the back of his neck and grinned: "Master Marquis, if you embezzle public funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you will be beheaded."
"You're a messenger, how can you be so cowardly? Even beheading can't kill you. What are you afraid of? Go quickly, or I'll kick you!"
Ergou wanted to persuade him again, but he refused to leave: "Master Marquis, please think again, please think again."
Li Mu raised his foot: "Kicked you? Kicked you?"
Before he could kick him out, he was suddenly hit hard from the back of his buttocks and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, two dogs caught him in front, saving one of them from chewing the mud. Li Mu was furious and turned around and cursed:
"Who dares to kick my butt without knowing death? You don't want to live anymore, do you? Kneel down on the ground and let me kick you back. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to skin you with just one order. Your Majesty, why are you so free?
ah?"
Li Shimin snorted and said: "Isn't there some bastard who wants to skin me and embezzle my money to gamble? Isn't he going to take the imperial examination today? I can't let go, so I came over to take a look. I'm sorry to see you lose.
, otherwise you wouldn’t know how arrogant and domineering someone is! Li Mu, I’m warning you, I have no control over what you do with your own money, but you are not allowed to touch even a penny of my money, internal money.
They all serve a purpose and you are not allowed to mess around!"
"Your Majesty, how can I be fooling around? I am making money for Your Majesty! Why don't you take the money that you will definitely win?"
"I know what you think," Li Shimin said with an expression that had seen through everything, and narrowed his eyes: "You must be thinking that if I also bet a hundred thousand guan, I will favor you during the palace examination and join in the same trap with you. I
How could you be fooled?"
"Your Majesty, I really don't have this intention."
"It doesn't matter whether you have it or not. I don't want to make this money, okay? You just take your test well." Suddenly Li Shimin frowned and said: "I have heard in the past few days that you always hand in your papers in advance. I originally
I still don’t believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes today, and I really believe it. You kid is so arrogant that you can’t take it seriously.
If I were to question you and you did particularly poorly in the exam, not only would you be embarrassed, but I would be ashamed as well."
Li Mu didn't bother to explain, and said: "I am so confident that I can't finish my answer and stare at the invigilator with my eyes. You don't know that there are five invigilators in one exam, and two of them are like the invigilator."
Like my own bodyguards, the two guardians on the left and right remained motionless, staring straight at me. Your Majesty clearly understands that there is no need for a genius like me to cheat?"
"It's really unnecessary for me to leave the palace." Li Shimin shook his head helplessly. By chance, the gate of Gongyuan opened at this time. When the Ming Dynasty Classical Section officially ended, all the students who took the exam walked out of the gate. Li Shimin pointed.
Said: "Is that the boy from Qin Qiong's family?"
Li Mu quickly shouted: "Qin Huaidao, here!"
When Qin Huaidao saw Li Mu, he had to come over even if he didn't want to. When he came to him, he first saluted Li Shimin, then saluted Li Mu as his disciple, and called him mentor.
"Qin Huaidao, how did you do in the exam?"
"As far as I can tell you, your Majesty, the student's test results are average. The essays and the Ten Principles are acceptable, but the three current affairs policies are not very confident."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Li Mu, I have read the test questions and found that these three current affairs strategies are your specialty. Why does your disciple say that he has no confidence? Is it possible that your disciple still has some tricks up his sleeve?"
"I didn't hold anything back. I taught all the ministers who should be taught. Qin Huaidao is being humble. Don't worry, Your Majesty, he must be a top three."
