I don’t know where the house is, how big it is, and when it will be given to me by Her Majesty the Queen. Tonight, Li Mu and Xiao Bai still have to squeeze in the small room of the government office.
Back at Duya, Li Mu had just walked into the courtyard when he saw Mr. Zhang walking out of the side hall. When he saw Li Mu, he turned around and walked in again.
He is a real hero. Without him, Li Mu alone can't change anything.
Although Li Mu also felt grievances for this true hero in his heart, the Holy Heart was unpredictable, and he could not make the decision for the Queen on whether to reward or not.
Returning to the small courtyard, closing the door, Xiaobai returned to the room, transformed into a human form, and was busy in the room. He quickly laid out the bedding and cleaned the room spotlessly.
This is a room for one person, and even the bed is a single bed, which can barely accommodate one person.
Fortunately, when Xiaobai sleeps, he will turn into his true form and curl up next to Li Mu, taking up no space.
Li Mu patted her little head and said, "If you have to suffer for a few more days, we will soon have a big house to live in."
Xiaobai leaned against him and whispered: "I am willing to stay with my benefactor in any small house."
Xiao Bai was still naive, a bit like marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog. It was getting late, and on the first day of coming to Shendu, Li Mu had no intention of practicing, so he hugged Xiao Bai and went to bed very early.
Early the next morning, Li Mu had just gotten up. After washing up, he saw the charming woman again in the government office.
She handed a thick stack of paper to Li Mu and said, "Here are the land deed and house deed. Now I will take you to the house given to you by His Majesty."
Li Mu opened the house deed and looked at it, and unexpectedly discovered that this was actually a large house with five in and five out.
There is a lot of money in the capital of God. If you can own a house with three entrances and three exits here, you are considered a wealthy businessman. If you have five entrances and five exits, it is impossible to own one without a certain status.
Such a house, let alone him and Xiaobai, could still accommodate a lot of people even after including Liu Hanyan and Wanwan.
The Imperial City is located in the center of the divine capital, and is flanked by the North and South Gardens. The South Garden houses the royal family and nobles, and the Beiyuan houses the officials of the court. Surrounding the Imperial City are more than a hundred squares, inhabited by ordinary people.
The house awarded to Li Mu by the Queen is in Beiyuan.
Li Mu originally wanted to invite Mr. Zhang to go and have a look, but he refused without hesitation.
Walking on the street, Li Mu asked the charming woman, "What is your name?"
We have only known each other for a few days, and I can count all the things Li Mu has said to her on two hands. Up to now, I only know that she is the Queen's inner guard, and I don't know much more.
The charming woman said: "You can call me Master Mei."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Mei, for escorting us all the way."
Mrs. Mei glanced at him and was surprised: "Why didn't I realize before that your little mouth is quite sweet..."
The words "Sister" obviously narrowed the distance between the two. Lord Mei looked at him and asked: "Your Majesty rewards your maid, do you really not want it?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No."
Master Mei said: "Think carefully, those maids are all extremely beautiful in the world."
Li Mudao: "Then it's even more unacceptable."
Master Mei was surprised and said: "Could it be that you don't like women?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Beauty will distract me from my practice. Your Majesty's grace, Li Mu appreciates it."
Master Mei had a strange look on his face and said: "You are young and can resist the temptation of beauty. Your Majesty is indeed right about the person."
After meeting Liu Hanyan, Li Mu became very immune to beauty. He was thinking about Liu Hanyan's pure yin. He had no idea about other women. Even if they were given to him for free, he would not waste his money.
Positive.
He thought for a while and asked: "What did Sister Mei mean yesterday when she told me to be careful about the Zhou family?"
This time, Master Mei did not say anything more.
Li Mu continued to ask: "The assassination in Beijun was instigated by the Zhou family and the New Party, right?"
Master Mei still didn't speak.
Her silence at this time represented acquiescence.
After walking for a while, seeing Li Mu being silent, Lord Mei thought for a moment and spoke again, saying: "Your Majesty has high hopes for you. As long as you behave upright, no matter what happens in the divine capital, your Majesty will protect you."
It's yours, you are His Majesty's, neither the new party nor the old party can touch you."
Li Mu was slightly stunned and asked: "Your Majesty has high hopes for me?"
He is just a little catcher. Her Majesty, what high hopes can you place on him?
Master Mei nodded and said: "Whether it is the matter in Beijun or the things you did when you first came to Shendu, your Majesty has taken a special look at you. The Great Zhou Dynasty is full of internal and external troubles. Your Majesty hopes that you can become a salary earner for the people. It is fair.
The path-breaker..."
Li Mu didn't expect Her Majesty the Queen to pay so much attention to him. Does this mean that he has embraced this thigh?
As long as the Queen still sits in that position, no one dares to touch Li Mu's position.
In this way, he has no worries and can go ahead and do it boldly.
He clasped his fists and said, "Li Muching has lived up to His Majesty's expectations..."
In order to reassure Li Mu, Lord Mei continued: "As long as you stick to your heart and be loyal to His Majesty, I believe that it won't be long before you can become His Majesty's inner guard. By then, you will have greater power and be able to
Possessing countless cultivation resources..."
The inner guard is the queen's personal guard. Being an inner guard can naturally gain her trust to the greatest extent and thus gain more benefits.
Li Mu thought for a while and realized another problem.
The inner guards he saw were all women and there were no men. This made him a little worried and asked: "Do I need to purify myself to become an inner guard?"
The charming woman looked at him with a smile and said, "It's not impossible if you want."
After getting the accurate answer from Lord Mei, Li Mu felt relieved. The inner guard has greater power and can do more things. If he can make contributions, he might have the opportunity to enter the Queen's inner treasury to select rewards.
He was looking forward to it.
He originally thought that when he came to the divine capital, the rewards from the Yamen would be even higher. He learned from Zhang Da’s mouth that the Du Yamen’s status in the Divine Capital was extremely low. In the Treasure Pavilion, there were only some Xuan-level talismans, yellow-level elixirs, damaged magic weapons, and
Low level spiritual jade...
Unexpectedly, Shendu Ya was so poor, not even as rich as Li Mu. Fortunately, there was one of the richest women in the Zhou Dynasty behind him, and he was extremely generous with his money. As long as he could satisfy her, he would even use heaven-level pills like the Good Fortune Pill
She is not stingy with elixirs, let alone other things.
After arriving at this house in Beiyuan, Li Mu felt her generosity more deeply.
It's called a house, but it's actually more like a mansion. Considering the land price in the divine capital and the location of the mansion, Li Mu and Liu Hanyan probably wouldn't be able to buy such a house with their entire current wealth.
Of course, in Shendu, the houses in Beiyuan are almost all official residences, and they cannot be bought with just money.
There was a seal on the door of this mansion. The charming woman waved her hand and the old seal opened by itself. She looked at Li Mu and explained: "This was originally an official residence. Later, something happened to the official and the residence was confiscated by the court.
, no one has lived there for more than ten years..."
Her Majesty the Queen has only been on the throne for three years. It should have been more than ten years ago during the old dynasty.
Master Mei said: "What a coincidence, your surname is also Li, and the original owner of this mansion was also surnamed Li, but his end was not very good. I hope you will not follow in his footsteps."
Li Mu looked up and found that the plaque here was still there, but there was a lot of dust on it, with the two characters "Li Mansion" written on it.
Master Mei stood in front of the mansion and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the palace first. If you don't want those maids, you'll have to clean such a big mansion yourself."
After seeing Master Mei off, Li Mu and Xiaobai walked into the mansion, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This will be our home from now on..."
For the next whole day, Li Mu and Xiaobai were cleaning here.
The mansion had been abandoned for more than ten years. The yard was overgrown with weeds and the house was full of dust. Li Mu asked Mrs. Chu to ask Bai Yi to weed the grass while he kneaded the weeds with his own hands. Suddenly a breeze blew up in the courtyard and swept away the dust in every corner.
After that, he used the art of summoning rain to clean the entire house.
Xiaobai took the rag and was busy in the room.
The house looks a little dirty, but it is not dilapidated. The seal posted here by the court can protect it from wind and rain to the greatest extent.
The furniture used in each room in the house is also made of high-quality wood, which will not rot for ten years. After being polished, it will be as good as new.
This saves Li Mu time to replace it, and he even kept the plaque outside.
He and Xiaobai were busy until the evening, without even bothering to eat, so they finally cleaned the mansion thoroughly, making it look brand new from top to bottom.
During the day, Li Mu went out and bought pots and pans and other kitchen utensils. He also bought some rice, noodles and vegetables. In the evening, he cooked a few side dishes, and then took out the jar of red wine that the restaurant owner gave to his daughter.
, it can be regarded as celebrating the housewarming with Xiaobai.
Xiaobai didn't drink much on weekdays, but he drank some for the first time tonight. When he got into Li Mu's bed in a daze, he forgot to change back to his original form.
In the early morning, Li Mu opened his eyes and saw Xiaobai lying on his chest, sleeping soundly.
She usually wakes up earlier than Li Mu, maybe because of drinking yesterday, she has been sleeping until now.
Li Mu looked at her sleeping cute look and didn't want to wake her up. Just as he was about to get out of bed quietly, her eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at Li Mu, then looked down at herself, and said quickly: "I'm sorry, my benefactor, I forgot to change back last night..."
Li Mu said: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to change, you don't have to change."
Xiaobai was stunned and asked, "Can I sleep with my benefactor like this?"
Li Mudao: "There are so many rooms here, you can sleep in any one you want. We will go out to the street later and buy you a set of bedding..."
Xiaobai lowered his head and said: "I'd better change back tonight, so I can save money..."
