Master Mei came to his home today, and the purpose surprised Li Mu.
She was on behalf of the Queen to reward Liu Hanyan.
Li Mu was a fifth-rank official, and Liu Hanyan was also granted a fifth-rank imperial decree by the Queen. Although the rank of his wife followed her husband, there were many officials in the court, and not all wives of officials could have such an honor.
In a family, only when the husband is an official of the DPRK and the wife is a royal official, can one truly enter the circle of the powerful.
Li Mu had no interest in entering this circle. He just felt that Liu Hanyan looked particularly beautiful in this official uniform.
Yinyin, Miaomiao and others happened to be in the mansion, urging Liu Hanyan to put on her official uniform, and then gathered around her with envious expressions on their faces.
Just like officials, a imperial edict has a rank and a salary. For women, having a imperial edict is equivalent to entering the ranks of noble ladies.
Yinyin looked around and asked curiously: "Is this the only piece of clothing?"
Liu Hanyan asked: "What else is there..."
Yinyin said: "Even if there are no expensive jewelry and treasures, there should be silk and the like. There is only one piece of clothing. Your Majesty is too stingy..."
Liu Hanyan defended the Queen and said: "Don't say that to Your Majesty. I got the imperial commission without doing anything. This is already a special gift from Your Majesty."
Miaomiao said: "Although you haven't done anything, your brother-in-law has done a lot of things, just like you did. In a few days, you will be a real family..."
The wedding day is less than half a month away, and Li Muda has already made all the preparations that need to be made.
Yinyin Miaomiao and the others are here to go shopping with Liu Hanyan today.
Li Mu happened to be Xiu Mu too, so he followed them and helped them carry something.
Shopping with women is a very troublesome thing. Li Mu buys things decisively and straightforwardly. After seeing what she likes at first glance, she will pay and check out, while they have to pick and choose and shop around. Even if she is not short of money now, she still has this problem.
This kind of thing makes you happy.
Liu Hanyan and the girls walked out of a rouge shop. On the street, a young man suddenly stepped forward quickly and asked in shock: "Girl Hanyan, is it really you?"
Liu Hanyan looked at him and said doubtfully: "You are..."
The young man said: "I am Du Ming, a student of Wanjuan Academy. I used to listen to you play a lot. Don't you remember me?"
Liu Hanyan thought for a while and said politely: "It turns out to be Mr. Du. I remembered it."
Du Ming looked at her and asked, "Is Miss Hanyan still in Miaoyinfang? Since you left, there have been few musicians worth listening to there."
Liu Hanyan shook his head and said, "He is no longer here."
Du Ming asked: "I don't know which orchestra Miss Hanyan is playing in now. I will definitely support you more in the future. By the way, I am hosting a banquet at Piaoxiang Building today. I wonder if Miss Hanyan can give me a favor..."
As he finished speaking, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
Du Ming frowned, and when he turned around, he was frightened and said in a trembling voice: "Li, Li Mu, you, what are you going to do?"
The people who were arrested by Li Mu from the academy are now dead and sentenced, which makes him nervous when he sees Li Mu now.
Li Mu looked at him and said: "Invite my wife to dinner, I would like to ask, what do you want to do?"
Du Ming looked at him, then at Liu Hanyan, with a shocked look on his face. He quickly came back to his senses and said immediately: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know Miss Hanyan was your wife. No offense, I
Let’s go, let’s go…”
After saying that, he left quickly, not daring to look at Liu Hanyan again.
Yinyin watched Du Ming run away and said with a smile: "It's great to have a brother-in-law. In the past, these people were always stalking and couldn't be driven away. Now, who of them dares to bother Sister Hanyan..."
Not far away, Du Ming had already run far away, still in shock.
Several young people stood there, one of them looked at him and asked: "Didn't you say you saw an acquaintance? Why did you come back so soon? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Du Ming looked in a certain direction, still in disbelief, and murmured: "How could the smoking girl become his wife..."
Several people were shocked when they heard this.
"What, then Li Mu has a wife, doesn't it mean he is still a baby?"
"Smoking girl? Could it be that she was the top musician of Miaoyinfang two years ago. Didn't she leave the capital of God?"
"How did she get involved with Li Mu?"
…
The name Liu Hanyan is well-known in the capital city, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her superb musical skills, which makes her deeply loved by some happy people.
Later, she left the divine capital inexplicably, causing quite a shock in a small area.
In addition to liking her performance, Du Ming also had some admiration for her as a person. He had been lost for a long time at that time. Seeing her in the capital this time was full of surprises and surprises. The flame that had been extinguished in his heart was rekindled.
Mars.
Then he was doused with a basin of cold water by Li Mu.
He looked in a certain direction, sighed, and said: "What a pity, what a pity..."
…
When the two of them went home after shopping, Li Mu was carrying something with one hand and holding her with the other.
Some people saw it and were surprised: "Master Li, this girl is..."
Li Mu smiled and explained: "She is my wife."
The people asked in confusion: "Is Mr. Li married?"
Li Mudao: "Not yet, but it will be next month. If you have time, come over for a wedding drink..."
"Congratulations to Mr. Li, congratulations to Mr. Li."
"Mrs. Li is so beautiful. She is as talented as Mr. Li..."
"I wish Mr. Li and his wife a long life together and a son soon..."
…
As they walked along the streets and alleys, people asked questions from time to time. Li Mu took the trouble to explain to each person. Listening to the people's blessings, Liu Hanyan looked shy on his face, but couldn't hide the happiness in his eyes.
.
Li Mu has always been a topical figure in Shendu. In the past six months, every heated discussion among the people of Shendu has been related to him.
As soon as the news that he was getting married on the ninth day of the lunar month came out, it quickly became the most talked about thing among the people.
"I don't know which woman is so lucky to marry Mr. Li. I really envy her..."
"Hey, I'm sorry for my three beautiful daughters. I'm totally giving up now. I wonder if Mr. Li will accept his concubines?"
"Come on, just your three daughters. Mr. Li has been kind to us. If you want to repay the kindness with enmity, we won't agree to it yet!"
"I saw that girl just now. She is very beautiful and worthy of Mr. Li."
"Master Li reminds me of the man who was a good official who made decisions for the people more than ten years ago. His surname seems to be Li, but it's a pity..."
"I also remembered it, but it's a pity that Mr. Li did not meet the Ming Lord, the late Emperor, nor Her Majesty the Queen..."
"The house where Mr. Li lives now is the Li Mansion back then."
"Those who killed him back then will definitely die badly..."
"Shh, you don't want your life. If someone hears it, even ten of your heads won't be enough..."
…
The seventh day of October.
Today is not a special day. The places where some dignitaries live are just as usual, but the streets and markets where the common people live are no less lively than a festival.
Two days later, it will be the day when Mr. Li will get married.
From today on, many shops in Shendu will sell goods at discounts to celebrate this event. Some people have hung up red lanterns in front of their doors even though there is no happy event at home, and the words "happy" are pasted on the streets and alleys. Those who know it will naturally know that it is
Mr. Li is getting married. Those who don't know it think that His Majesty is establishing a queen.
Even when the late emperor was enthroned, the people did not celebrate spontaneously like this.
Countless officials in the court couldn't stand Li Mu's way of doing things, but when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel sincere admiration.
Now that I have become an official, what more can I ask for?
As the ninth day of October approaches, almost everyone in the streets is discussing the upcoming marriage.
A woman wearing a bamboo hat walked slowly onto the streets of Shendu.
Although this kind of dress is different from ordinary people, it does not attract people's special attention.
There are always some people who, for some special reasons, are unwilling to show up in public. It is not uncommon to wear a veil or a cloak when going out.
The woman seemed to be very familiar with Shendu. She traveled through the streets with ease, and finally walked into Beiyuan and stood in front of a high gate.
On the plaque in front of the door, there are two big characters "Li Mansion" written on it. The woman's eyes passed through the black gauze of the bamboo hat and stared at these two characters for a long time.
It seems that this family has a happy event recently. The plaque is hung with red satin, and the two red lanterns are also pasted with the red word "囍".
Squeak...
The door opened from the inside, and an extremely beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old came out and asked doubtfully: "Sister, who are you looking for?"
The woman didn't answer and slowly turned around and left.
Xiaobai closed the door again and walked back. Wanwan poked his head out of the garden and asked, "Who is it?"
Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I don't know, I probably went to the wrong door."
Outside the door, the woman walked a hundred steps away and met a salesman carrying a load.
The woman stopped the salesman, pointed to the mansion in front of her, and asked softly: "Excuse me, may I ask, who lives in the Li Mansion in front of me?"
The salesman thought that someone was buying goods, and he was very happy. When he heard that he was asking for directions, he felt a little unhappy. But when he looked in the direction pointed by the woman, he immediately became excited again, put down his burden, and said: "The girl is from other places.
Well, if you are from Shendu, you must know who lives there. Mr. Li is the blue sky in our hearts. He is not afraid of the powerful and has made decisions for many people to redress their injustices. This house is a reward from Her Majesty the Queen.
his……"
Speaking of Mr. Li, the salesman began to talk endlessly. At a certain moment, he saw two figures walking in front of him and said: "What a coincidence, that is Mr. Li and his wife. Look, girl, are they...
A match made in heaven..."
There was no sound from beside him. The salesman turned around and shuddered unexpectedly.
I saw nothing around him, no girl...
At noon, the sun was warm, but he felt a chill rushing from his tailbone to his forehead. He grabbed the load and ran towards the crowded street.
In front of the Li Mansion, Li Mu held Liu Hanyan's hand and was about to enter the house. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and turned his head to look in a certain direction.
There was only a peddler carrying a load, running away for some unknown reason.
Liu Hanyan saw him stop and looked back, wondering: "What's wrong?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Nothing, just go in..."
