The minor episode did not affect the people's mood to grab money, nor did it affect Li Mu's mood to return home in fine clothes. After the guards disposed of the assassin's body, Li Mu left quietly without disturbing the people to pick up the money. Zhang Fa wanted to welcome Li Mu there.
He prepared to live in the mansion, but was rejected by Li Mu. He wanted to go home and have a look. Zhang Fa had no choice but to accompany him. After walking along the road in his memory for a while, Li Mu discovered a strange place. He had not seen it for a year.
I just came back. Everything in the neighborhood has changed a lot. Bai Naoer's wine shop that was at the corner of the street is gone. They are all new houses. Only his old house is still the same as before, not even the holes in the broken door.
repair.
"County Magistrate Zhang, this is..."
Zhang Fa laughed along and said: "It's all the blessing of Lord Marquis. The masons in Mayi are cheap, and the money and food given by the court were too much. The lower officials did not dare to withhold them, so they renovated these houses.
.Only the Marquis’s old house has not been renovated and has been kept as it is. The official is thinking that if the Marquis comes back one day, it can be used to commemorate him. I wonder if this arrangement will satisfy the Marquis?"
"Yes," Li Mu nodded and said, "I'm interested, I'll take note of it."
"It should, it should." Zhang Fa said repeatedly, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart. Ever since he met Li Mu, he had been unsure of his pulse, and now he finally had something done.
Li Mu pushed open the holed door and walked into the yard. The dusty memories in his mind began to emerge, and he was filled with emotion when he looked at everything. Now the memories in his mind seemed to have become one with him, and he couldn't tell them apart.
Qing, this is Li Mu’s memory, or his own memory.
Jin Chen has been following him, watching Li Mu looking at the furnishings in the yard, wondering what to say. Seeing this with Li Mu was a wonderful experience for her. She didn't believe it at first.
A place like Mayi can produce talents like Li Mu, but now it seems that I have to believe it. Looking at this small courtyard that can be described as 'poor and down and out', and then looking at the country that is now the most prestigious country in the Tang Dynasty
Li Mu, who is in the third grade, still gives people a sense of disbelief with such a strong contrast.
Li Mu walked around in a circle and came out. He raised his hand to wipe his eyes. Unexpectedly, his eyes were filled with tears. He pointed to the well in the yard and said: "This broken well will have no water in winter.
Throughout the year, there is water only in summer, but it becomes muddy in autumn. I really don’t know how we survived back then.”
Zhang Fa quickly sent a flattery: "Master Hou is rich and noble, and he has the protection of the immortals."
"Oh, I don't know where the immortal is. When I was hungry as a child, I didn't see anyone giving him a steamed bun to eat."
Li Mu sighed with emotion and said: "County Magistrate Zhang, please protect this small courtyard for me. Don't let it leak from the rain. I will send someone over to clean it from time to time. If I come back again, I will come and take a look."
"You don't need to give orders from the Marquis. Your subordinates will do the same thing. Please don't worry, Marquis."
"Okay, I won't read anymore, let's go to the ancestral hall and have a look."
"Yes, I'll lead the way." Zhang Fa said and turned around to walk out. Suddenly, he heard an ouch and bumped into someone head-on.
"Who is so bold as to dare to attack this general?" A familiar voice sounded. Li Mu's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Siwen? You came fast enough!"
"Brother!" Li Siwen laughed loudly. He didn't care who hit him. He pushed Magistrate Zhang away and rushed over. He hugged Li Mu and laughed loudly: "Brother, you are here, little brother."
I’ve been waiting for a long time!”
When County Magistrate Zhang saw it was Li Siwen, he knew that he had been hit in vain, so he grinned and stood aside.
"We haven't been apart for long. You left after the New Year. It's only three months now. If you think about it, we brothers haven't seen each other for only two months. What are you waiting for?"
"Brother, this is your fault." Li Siwen said seriously: "There is a sentence in the "Book of Songs" that 'one day without seeing is like three months'. If you think about it, we haven't seen each other for decades.
Is it easy to wait?"
"Hey, have you read a book yet?"
Li Siwen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't want to read either. I'm not your younger brother or sister. You force me to read for half an hour every day, otherwise I won't go to bed. There's nothing I can do about it, little brother." Li Siwen suddenly saw Jin.
Chen frowned and said: "Brother, you..."
"Don't get me wrong, Miss Jin came with me because her master is seriously ill. Quickly find a few people, arrange a carriage, and send them to Gaochang." Li Mu winked at Li Siwen, and Li Siwen understood instantly.
, shouted: "Here comes someone"
Jin Chen hurriedly interrupted: "Master Hou, let me say a word!"
Li Mu and Li Siwen looked at Jin Chen. Jin Chen took a deep breath and said: "Master Hou, although the slave family misses the master, it was already more than twenty days ago when they received the news. It is unknown whether the master is here or not. In their hearts,
Although it is urgent, there is no time left. The slave family has been greatly favored by the Marquis. How can they not go to the ancestral hall to worship when they arrive in Mayi? If they just leave like this, wouldn’t they become ruthless and unjust people? Please allow the Marquis to allow the slave family to worship.
I pay my respects, and when the Marquis leaves for Dingxiang, it will not be too late to ask General Li to send the slave family to Gaochang."
Li Siwen glanced at Li Mu, who sighed and said, "That's fine, let's stay for another two days."
Jin Chen immediately showed joy: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis."
Li Mu did not want to say more and said to Magistrate Zhang: "Lead the way to the ancestral hall."
Magistrate Zhang responded and led the way. Li Siwen approached Li Mu and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what is going on? Isn't she my fifth sister-in-law?"
"You farted? Did you call me that? I am your fifth brother?"
"No, I mean, don't I already have four sisters-in-law? She is the fifth! Brother, are you two serious?"
"Nothing!" Li Mu lowered his voice and said: "The origin of this woman is unknown, and I am too lazy to find out. In two days, you will send someone to Gaochang and it will be settled."
"Oh." Li Siwen responded and didn't ask any more questions. When Li Mu said this, he knew that Jin Chen and Li Mu were not in that kind of relationship. If they were, Li Mu would not do this. He was very precious to his woman.
Thinking of this, Li Siwen changed the subject and said in a louder voice: "Brother, it's great that you are here. After you finish dealing with things here, you come with me to Dingxiang. I have to let you take a look.
It is no exaggeration to say that Dingxiang looks like today. Under the management of your brothers and me, Dingxiang is now Chang'an in Longxi, Luoyang in the north of the Great Wall, a holy place for merchants, and famous in the Western Regions."
"Bullshit!" Li Mu replied.
"What!" Li Siwen said displeased: "How can it be bullshit? I'm really doing a good job! If you don't believe it, just go and see. The population is hundreds of times greater than when you left. You know there are people in the city
