There are more than 10,000 people, which is actually not that many. Chang'an City has experienced the depletion of the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, and there are still nearly 800,000 people at present. Before the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, when the founding emperor was in his prime, Chang'an City had more than a million people.
There are 108 squares, with an average of 10,000 people in each square, which is not worth mentioning at all.
But in a place like Dingxiang, ten thousand people are already too many. Like Mayi, there are only five or six thousand people, including the floating population. Dingxiang, as a city, was burned down and rebuilt a year ago.
It was already a miracle that so many people could gather in the new city. Li Siwen said that he was well-run, which was not entirely bragging. Li Mu wanted to ask the truth in detail, but the occasion was not very suitable now, so he just smiled and said,
No further details were given.
The group arrived at the ancestral hall, and what they saw was a building that was larger than the Mayi County government office. Li Shimin was not stingy with Li Mu, and allocated money several times in a row. The ancestral hall was built without any expense, and Li Siwen also worked on it.
Help, if we weren't worried about the damage, it would be bigger than this. But now that we have been granted the title of Earl, it is no longer a problem, and we will definitely continue to expand.
"Master Marquis, since there is no portrait of Li Gong in circulation, he did not dare to rush into the statue, so he only ranked the rankings." Zhang Fa said carefully, fearing that Li Mu would provoke him. His worry was obviously unnecessary, because Li Mu had never met Li Gan.
, Li Gan died in the battle when Li Mu was more than one year old, and there was no memory of Li Mu.
Li Mu waved his hand, and everyone left, leaving only Li Siwen by his side. Li Mu lit the incense that Sun brought with him when he left, and bowed in salute. Li Siwen also bowed beside him, and the two stood up.
Li Mu saw Jin Chen standing at the door of the ancestral hall with a bunch of incense in his hand. He hesitated and said, "Come here."
Li Siwen opened his mouth to speak, but was blocked by Li Mu. Li Siwen leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered: "Brother, this woman is not a member of the family, so she is inappropriate."
"We don't have so many rules. We can still be considered friends after all." Li Mu thought to himself. When it comes to family members, I can't be considered a member of the family. This Li Gan is actually Li Mu's adoptive father. There is no blood relationship, and I am a fake. This fake
If you add in the holiday, I'm afraid it won't be much different from Jin Chen.
After Jin Chen worshiped, Li Mu looked at the furnishings in the ancestral hall. Generally speaking, they were carefully considered and there were no faults. However, Li Mu still felt a little deserted when he saw that there was only one tablet. This Li Ganfu was unlucky.
Unfortunately, she died early, and the Sun family was unable to have children and had no descendants. Now she has remarried Tang Jian, and Li Gan is really a lonely ghost.
Li Mu sighed, called the county magistrate over, and said, "Is there any wood for making such a memorial tablet? Let's find a piece."
"Ah?" Magistrate Zhang subconsciously wanted to ask if it was Li Mu's mother... Fortunately, he held back his words and didn't even fart, and called the master over to do it. After a while, the master brought it
After buying a tablet, Li Mu asked for gold paint, picked up his pen and wrote the word "Li Mu" on the tablet.
The people next to him were startled. Li Siwen hurriedly grabbed Li Mu's hand and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Why have you set up a memorial tablet for yourself before..."
"As a son of a man, I cannot fulfill my filial piety, so I can only accompany you in this way." Li Mu blocked Li Siwen's hand and said, "Don't stop me, I have made up my mind."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately in awe. They didn't say anything, but secretly admired him in their hearts. Although the Marquis acted eccentricly, he was really a filial son!
How did they know that this tablet was erected by Li Mu for the original Li Mu? This was also a knot in his mind. He always felt sorry for the original Li Mu. Setting up a tablet for him and letting him receive some incense was also a disguised form.
compensated.
After staying for a while, everyone left the ancestral hall. It was already lunchtime. Under Zhang Fa's warm invitation, Li Mu and his party came to the county government office for dinner. Su Dingfang and other sergeants also entertained them.
Zhang Fa brought all the good things he could find in Mayi to the table, and prepared some good wine bought from Dingxiang Winery. He was gearing up just to further his relationship with Li Mu at the wine table, but
Unfortunately, when the food was served, before he could sit down, Li Mu dismissed him because he didn't like seeing strangers while eating.
Zhang Fa was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot, a stranger? Co-authored From yesterday to now, this county has been waiting on him like a grandson, trying to get married and flattering people, but he is still a stranger when he arrives? Why is this person so merciless?
!You are really unworthy of a son of man, you are completely unworthy of a son of man!
There were only four people left at the dinner table, brothers Li Mu and Li Siwen, as well as Jin Chen and Yinyue. Seeing Magistrate Zhang leave, Li Mu picked up the wine flask, and Jin Chen quickly took it and poured him a glass of wine.
Li Siwen picked up the wine cup and waited, but Jin Chen seemed not to notice, his eyes only focused on Li Mu. Li Siwen was asking for trouble, so he had to pick up the wine jug and pour himself a glass. He looked at
The wine glass that was sitting on Yin Yue was also empty, and he kindly wanted to pour her a glass, but Yin Yue glanced at him and silently moved his own wine glass away.
When had Er Shao Li been so ignored, and the other person was a little maid? He glared angrily and said, "Why are you so ungrateful? Master, ah no, I am pouring wine for you. Is it for you?"
It’s too much for your face, how can you repay it?”
"I don't know how to drink."
"No?" Li Siwen became even more angry and said, "Why not? Even if you don't, you should be polite. If I pour it for you, won't it be over if you don't drink it? You said how embarrassing it is for me to be like this.
?I am a dignified general, I”
"Okay, why bother this little girl?" Li Mu stopped her, and Li Siwen said unhappily: "Brother, I'm being reasonable, I didn't bully her."
Yinyue took a look, poured herself a glass and drank it with her eyes closed, as if she was swallowing poison. When Li Siwen saw this, he pointed and said to Li Mu: "Brother, you saw it, this girl is so annoying.
Now it really feels like I’m bullying someone, and I’m unjust!”
"Why is it not over yet? Just say a few words." Li Mu picked up the wine glass and said to Jin Chen: "I know that the girl has something on her mind. If you and I get to know each other, I can help. I, Li Mu, will never push back, but
I want to say that I don't like the way the girl does things. When you and I first met, the girl had the idea of promising her body and using love to make things happen. This is one thing, and then she lied and followed me, which is the other two.
The girl is not sincere to me, so naturally I can't get close to her. However, I appreciate the girl's attentive service all the way. This glass of wine to toast the girl should be regarded as a farewell drink." After saying this, Jin Chen didn't wait for him to speak, and raised his head.
Drink it.
When Li Siwen saw this, he raised his head and drank.
But Jin Chen didn't drink. Li Mu frowned and said, "Girl, why don't you drink? I made my meaning very clear."
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit him. Li Mu's eyes widened and he fell straight on the table.
"Hey? Brother, why are you drunk?"
Before Li Siwen could finish his sentence, he fell down with a thud!
