Chapter Eighty-Six: Self-Assertiveness
Li Mu never dreamed that he would do such a ridiculous thing one day, so freewheeling, just like his eldest brother's style.
He likes to be low-key, because of his identity, he never likes to be nosy, he is afraid that he will be a little careless and get into some trouble, after all, he not only represents himself, but also the entire Li family behind him, so when he was in the woods outside the Pufa Temple, he obviously saw Qin Dai's heart being tied up, but he didn't come to the rescue, just not to involve too much.
How do you know that after he went to Sifang Mountain to see Duan Xing, he would think of the scene outside the woods from time to time, and think of the obviously delicate but heroic woman surnamed Qin, Duan Xing saw that he was worried all day long, so he asked him, he couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of this righteous brother, and finally told the whole story.
Duan Xing is a master who is not afraid of things, there is nothing in the rivers and lakes that he is not interested in, I heard that a gang of bandits kidnapped people, he didn't care, what he cared about was his brother's attitude, and he wanted to forget the woman who had only met from afar, it was really a miracle in the world.
He talked so badly, and finally persuaded his brother to intervene in this matter, ostensibly for the sake of morality and conscience, but in fact, he just wanted to see what kind of woman had such charm and tortured Li Mugongzi, who regarded women as dung, like dung.
The two knew that the group of bandits was just a group of filthy people and had no great skills, so they asked the spies to go down the mountain to find out their whereabouts carefully, and went to rescue people the next day. How do they know that when they arrived at the small hill, they only saw a group of people who looked like they were catching fast and scolding down from the mountain, and there was a house that had been burned to the point of not being able to look down, and it was smoking, the two of them were puzzled and decided to take a good look, so they decided to stay at the bottom of the mountain to find clues about this group of bandits and the whereabouts of that Miss Qin.
Li Mu found the Li family's business name in Taizhou, and sent the steward to inquire about the famous family surnamed Qin, although the steward did not understand the meaning of the second son of Li, but he was also a thoughtful person, guessing that this was probably the private matter of the second son, so he asked without asking, and then he heard that there was only one more prestigious businessman surnamed Qin in Taizhou City, Li Mu was deeply surprised when he learned that Miss Qin was not the lady of the eunuch's family, but the daughter of a merchant family, and went to the Qin family's shop with Duan Xing, wanting to do business. To find out if the young lady was safe, how did he know that it would be such a coincidence, so he ran into Qin Congwen to check the shop.
Li Mu was embarrassed to say that he would not save himself when he saw death, and only said that he had a one-sided relationship with the third lady, Qin Congwen was a little surprised, he didn't know when his daughter met such a son, he was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that this daughter met a man in private, it was really shameless, he thought about it like this, and his face suddenly looked bad.
Li Mu knows countless people, how can he not understand his thoughts? He unhurriedly said his identity in Qin Congwen's ear, and really saw Qin Congwen's excited eyes that he didn't believe it a little bit, but he couldn't hide it.
Businessmen are profit-oriented, this is an indisputable fact, Qin Congwen will not know what the meaning of "Jiangdong Li family" represents, although he doesn't like his daughter to do anything that hinders the door, but if the object is the Li family in Jiangdong, it is different, if he marries his daughter to him, he can climb the big tree of the Li family, then the benefits of the Qin family will be innumerable, how can he blame his daughter? I wish there was something between the two, which is also the reason why his attitude was very different after learning about Li Mu's identity.
Li Mu couldn't say it at this time, if he didn't explain his identity, he was afraid that the girl would be burdened by his whimsical curiosity, and he was afraid that it would damage her reputation, now that his identity has been exposed, presumably this old man Qin will not let him leave lightly, and will definitely try his best to win over his own big tree.
Sure enough, Qin Congwen invited Li Mu to come over for various reasons, Li Mu knew the nature of businessmen, these people were all old foxes, all of them were extremely shrewd, their faces were light-hearted, and what they valued in their bones was just interests.
He didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he politely refused.
However, Qin Congwen is also a shrewd person, after thinking about it, he took retreat as advance, and invited the two to dinner in the name of the friendship of the landlord. Qin Congwen mentioned to them during the banquet that his third daughter was kidnapped by bandits a few days ago, but she was uninjured and returned from the catastrophe......
This trick really worked, not only Duan Xing was so curious that he died, but even Li Mu, who had always been calm, wanted to know how she got out of danger, so there was the scene where the second son of the Li family in Jiangdong came to visit the Qin Mansion!
Li Mu prepared the gifts, and according to the agreement, he visited the Qin Mansion on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, of course, he had to bring his righteous brother Duan Xing, who loved to watch the excitement. The two came to the gate of the house, handed over a sticker to explain their identities, and waited for the little guy to pass it on. Qin Congwen personally welcomed the two into the house, came to the main hall to talk, and after the guests were seated, the people sent the brewed tea, snacks and other things retreated, and waited outside the hall.
"Master Qin, this is a little careful, I hope you don't dislike it!"
"Where did Li Gongzi say, you were too polite." How could Qin Congwen not hear that people were being polite to him? "Zicheng, this is Li Mu Li Gongzi that my father mentioned to you." On the one hand, Qin Congwen was afraid that the two were too old to be related, so he asked his eldest son Qin Zicheng to accompany him, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Qin Zicheng could make such a friend, stand alone as soon as possible, and develop the Qin family's career better.
"I have admired the name of my son for a long time, but I don't want to be so young and disrespectful." Qin Zicheng never thought that the second son of Jiangdong Li, who dominates the business world, would be such a jade-faced gentleman-like figure, I saw that he had a pair of affectionate eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a smile of three points, plus he was born in a wealthy family, but he didn't have the slightest sneer, and the whole person was like a piece of beautiful jade, which made people feel comfortable and abnormal.
"Brother Qin doesn't have to be so polite. This is my sworn brother, surnamed Duan. Li Mu had a faint smile on his face, but he didn't mean to talk further, which was also a kind of expression of his politeness but politeness in life.
Although Duan Xing didn't like such an occasion, he didn't want to embarrass his brother, so he hugged his fists at the Qin family's father and son, which could be regarded as a hello.
"Li Gongzi and Duan Gongzi came to the cold house, it is really a blessing for Sansheng, and it is good to let Qin Mou enter the friendship of the landlord, it is still early at this time, I ordered the kitchen to prepare good wine and good food to entertain you, and I hope that the two of you will not dislike the wine and thin vegetables."
Li Mu thought that since he had come, he shouldn't make people unhappy, right? At the moment, he said: "In this case, you should be a guest and a host." ”
As soon as Qin Congwen heard that he agreed, he was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Gongzi Li and the little girl are old friends, so let's not pay attention to the sour and rotten rules of the literati, so I will ask her to come over and catch up with the son." ”
Duan Xing is a native of the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't like the crooked reasoning of literati, but at this time, seeing Qin Congwen acting like this, he said that the two people he didn't know were "old friends", and he disdained it at the moment.
Entering the door is a guest, and the other party is Li Mu's brother-in-law, and he is a rough person, although Qin Congwen doesn't like him very much, but he feels that he can't afford to offend, so he can only pretend that he didn't see it, so he took advantage of this opportunity and asked Qin Zicheng to send someone to invite Qin Daixin.
After a short time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and everyone was surprised that the stranger came so quickly, but they saw a red whirlwind approaching, and when the Qin father and son saw her, they all showed a headache expression, on the other hand, Li Mu and Duan Xing, the former frowned slightly, and the latter looked excited.
Qin Qianxin, who was in trouble, didn't know it, her eyes swept slightly in the hall, and she saw that in addition to her father and brother, there was a reckless man with a full beard in the hall, a handsome man with brocade clothes like jade, red lips and white teeth, Qin Qianxin knew that this person was Li Mu, and thought that the rumors were true, this Jiangdong's second son Li was really born with a jade-faced Langjun-like character, and he was even more handsome than Jia Erye in Jiafu. Her face turned red, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, came to Qin Congwen, and said after saluting: "Father, my daughter heard that there was a distinguished guest at home, and she came to take a look, you won't blame your daughter for making her own opinions, right?" ”
