Li Mu looked at the young man in front of him with a blue nose and swollen face and carrying a burden, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Did I kick him into a eunuch? Are you going to rely on me?

"My dad asked me to come to you!" Fang Yiai took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "He said that you will understand when you read it." ”

"Don't play tricks!" Li Siwen glared at Fang Yiai, took the letter for Li Mu, and handed it to Li Mu, and the whole action was extremely doggy.

Li Mu opened the letter, glanced at it, raised his head to look at Fang Yiai, and said, "Your father asked me to arrange an errand for you, and I have to give this face." But I don't know about you, tell me yourself, what will you do? ”

"I studied for a few years and was literate. I have also practiced martial arts on my own, and I have grown strong and powerful. ”

"Gone?"

Fang Yiai shook his head: "It's gone." ”

"Hmm......" Li Mu sighed and said unceremoniously: "It's no different from waste, so let's do it, it just so happens that I lack a follower, you should be my follower first, you have no salary to eat and live, are you willing?" ”

"Yes." Fang Yiai didn't think about it, and agreed directly. For him, as long as he can not go home, it is a good thing.

"No way!" Suddenly, a voice came from the roof, it was Dugu Jiu, who had not been seen for a long time, he was holding a sword and falling from the roof, unable to say a chic. He didn't look at Fang Yiai, and said to Li Mu: "Big brother, your follower turned out to be a big man, but now it's me, he is very weak and can't protect you." ”

"Wow......" Li Siwen secretly said to himself, he is worthy of being a master who can go to the house, he is confident, Fang Yiai is the number one thug in the circle, Li Siwen was beaten by him, this Dugu Jiu was so faceless in front of him, I don't know how Fang Yiai would react...... Li Siwen glanced over, completely in the mentality of watching a play, and he couldn't wait for the two to fight. Anyway, Dugu Jiu will not lose, let Fang Yiai be beaten again, and it will be in line with his heart.

What he was looking forward to soon happened, Fang Yiai has been a bully since he was a child, how can he bear it when he hears this, he clenched his fists and hit him. Seeing this, Li Mu's brows furrowed, and as soon as he threw the letter in his hand, he was about to come over to pick up the fist of the beloved of the house.

"Humph!" Dugu Jiu heard the sound of the wind behind his ears, and he didn't turn his head back, he took the fist of Fang Yiai's backhand, and when he twisted it up, Fang Yiai's wrist suddenly showed a strange shape, obviously dislocated.

Rao is hard enough, and sweat breaks out on his forehead.

Dugu Jiu turned around at this time, glanced at Fang Yiai indifferently, and said, "Serve?" ”

Fang Yiai swallowed and spat and nodded vigorously.

Dugu Jiu bent his fingers and flicked his wrist, and the twisted joints returned to normal, and they were not swollen, obviously the hand just now was retained, otherwise Fang Yiai's wrist would be wasted.

"Let me see you do it to my brother again, and your hand will never move again."

Li Mu dropped this cruel sentence, casually pointed to a guest room, and said, "Go and rest, dinner will call you." ”

Fang Yiai rubbed his wrist and saluted into the guest room. Li Mu couldn't help but complain to Dugu Jiu: "Where have you been in the past two days, I was almost killed, do you know?" ”

"Well deserved!"

"Hey?" Li Mu said angrily: "Is this what a brother said?" ”

"Who made you two partner up to bully me?"

Li Mu was suddenly dumbfounded, and threw the ball to Li Siwen: "What about you, why are you bullying others?" ”

"Big brother, look at his skills, it seems that I can bully him?"

"Don't quibble, say that you bullied, you just bullied......" Li Mu hooked Dugu Jiu's shoulder and said, "It's okay, the eldest brother is on your side." Without waiting for Dugu Jiu to speak, Li Mu bluntly diverted the topic and asked, "By the way, there is something that just came to mind, who is the eldest of the two of you?" ”

Li Siwen hurriedly said: "I'm six months younger than my eldest brother, what about you?" ”

Dugu Jiu was silent for a moment and said, "I was born in Layue." ”

"Wax Moon?" Li Mu was shocked and said, "Isn't it this month?" Why, why didn't you say that? ”

"Yesterday."

"Yesterday?"

Dugu Jiu was a little afraid to face Li Mu's gaze, and said timidly: "I'll go home to accompany my mother." ”

"Oh......" Li Mu nodded and said, "Filial piety comes first, and it is a good thing to know that my mother is kind." But you can't celebrate your birthday, don't do anything today, give you a birthday! Li Mu turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll make you a cake to eat myself." ”

"What's the cake?" Li Siwen seemed more curious than Dugu Jiu, and at the same time couldn't help complaining: "Big brother, when I celebrated my birthday, I didn't see you say anything?" Why do you make a cake for his birthday? ”

"Is your birthday over?"

"Last month."

"Where were you last month?"

"I'm in Dingxiang...... No, big brother, you can fly pigeons and pass on books. ”

Dugu Jiu followed silently, listening to the two bickering, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

……

Where can Li Mu make cakes, and besides, there is nowhere to find cream in this Datang. The cake he makes is "egg custard", where the eggs are stirred and then steamed in a pot. But even so, it is something that the Tang people have never seen.

As soon as the custard came out, it was well received. This soft and fragrant taste is very popular with women. Dugu Jiu also likes it very much, holding his own share, taking a spoon and eating it in small bites, reluctant to eat it.

On the other hand, Li Siwen and Fang Yiai are like cows chewing peonies, a bowl of egg custard, and three bites will be in the stomach. When I ran out of food, I was still hungry, and I kept glancing into other people's bowls. That is, these few people on the table, they didn't dare to rob it, and if they changed to someone else, these two young masters were about to show their stubborn nature and grab it.

"Big brother, before I leave, you must teach me, this cake is so delicious, I can't eat enough for ten bowls."

"Okay, I'll teach you the lady and let her do it for you."

"I don't have a lady!"

"Tomorrow!" The corners of Li Mu's mouth raised an arc, and said: "I have already ordered someone to go to heaven and earth to inform, tomorrow morning to propose marriage, and the engagement banquet at noon." Shangyuan Festival is a good day, and the dragon raises its head, which is very appropriate. There is no need for the Qin family to find Qin Tianjian, I will give you a clear calculation, so it is decided. ”

"Big brother ......" Li Siwen still begged, thought about it, stopped abruptly, gave up on himself, and said: "Okay, okay, who made you my eldest brother, isn't it just getting married, the achievement is yes, but big brother." Li Siwen rolled his eyes and said: "If you let me get married, then you have to marry too, you can't do it alone, let me be alone, I won't do it." ”

Li Mu looked at Bai Qiaoqiao's side and said, "Aren't I married, why, can't you see your sister-in-law here?" ”

"Isn't the little sister-in-law still married," Li Siwen grinned and said: "Big brother, if you want me to get married, then you and your sister-in-law will also get married, and we will have a happy event every day." If you don't say yes, I won't do it. I have to explain that it's not that I don't get married, it's that you don't get married, so I don't get married. ”

When Li Zhien heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Mu, lowered his head and twisted the corners of his clothes. Although she doesn't have much contact with Li Siwen, and Li Siwen doesn't seem to take her seriously, but today, Li Siwen is pleasing to the eye.

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "You kid, you get married, what does it matter to me......" He looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Madam, don't listen to his nonsense, our family's affairs are still going according to plan." ”

"Actually, it's not bad these days, but it's just three months in advance, it's done early and late, it's good to do it early, and the province knows that it's a matter of thinking about it all day." Bai Qiaoqiao took Li Zhien's hand and said, "If you ask me, I think the little uncle said it well." Let's go to the Metaverse, as you said, a good day for the dragon to raise its head. ”

"This ......" Li Muxin said, I am talking nonsense, can it also be counted?

But that's it, and it's been a long time. Li Mu thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided, Shangyuan Festival, let's do it together." ”

Li Siwen was dumbfounded and said, "Big brother, is it really done?" ”

"Really, I'm messing with you?"

"Do it!" At this point, Li Siwen also saw that there must be no way to change it, completely gave up resistance, and said: "You are my eldest brother, if you let me marry, then I will be." But the words can be made clear, Your Majesty's will is clear, a total of one month of family leave, I don't have enough time. Also, I don't have money, I can't afford to buy clothes, and I can't afford to pay for gongs and drums. If you let me marry, you have to take care of it. ”

"Haha......" Li Mu laughed and said, "Forgot what you said in the morning?" Talk to me about money? You really want to laugh at me to death, tell you this, your brother and I have nothing, and we are so poor that we have money left. Tomorrow, when we propose, I'll let you see what it means to be wealthy! ”

……

Following.

Early in the morning, the entire Jingdong set was already lively. Li Mu gave an order, and Bai Hao'er dispatched all the helpers under his hands, and came to Jingdong to help. Li Mu went to Pingkangfang again and called the musicians of the original teaching workshop to act as drum musicians, which are all professional, and the musicians who originally played in the court have all turned into gong and drum groups today. The entire Jingdong set, from beginning to end, lined up in a long queue of hundreds of meters.

Li Siwen was at the mercy of a group of old mothers, and put on a festive red robe, which was even better than when Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao got married. Li Mu checked it, nodded with satisfaction, jumped on the high-headed horse, Fang Yiai and Dugu Jiu also followed on horseback, with Li Siwen in the middle, and the team marched towards the Yiguo Mansion.

In the early hours of the morning, someone had already sent a message. The Yiguo Mansion also made preparations, wearing red and hanging colors, and opening the middle door. Li Siwen's brother waited at the intersection with the bride price that had been prepared a long time ago, and the two groups cooperated together, and the team to welcome the relatives was even stronger.

Li Mu also took the opportunity to glance at it, when he and Bai Qiaoqiao got married, because of their haste, they were all simple and didn't care too much, and both of them came from a small place in Mayi, and they didn't know much about the dowry. Today, I met the dowry gift prepared by Li Zhen for Li Siwen, and then I knew what the dowry gifts for the marriage of the Tang Dynasty people were.

The first cart was cloth, and the cart was filled with silk and satin.

The second cart was full of utensils, gold, silver, lacquerware, and jade.

The third car is a bit interesting, it turned out to be a cart of tea, which made Li Mu a little confused, what kind of dowry is tea? This is that he doesn't know enough about Datang, in this era, not everyone drinks tea, or the tea ceremony at this time, because it is too cumbersome, ordinary people are not in the mood to make tea and drink, only nobles will drink tea. The value of this cart of tea is by no means inferior to the previous cart of gold, silver and jade.

The fourth cart has few things, but it is a living thing, two geese. Li Mu was completely stunned this time, what the hell is sending wild geese? He couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Li Zhen. After listening to Li Zhen's explanation, I realized that it was an ancient ritual to send wild geese. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the wild geese all went from spring to autumn and returned in autumn, and were regarded as a symbol of trustworthiness. Accepting the wild goose is equivalent to admitting this family business, and if you regret your marriage in the future, you will have no faith. A court like Guogong will be looked down upon.

I have gained knowledge.

The group came to the gate of Yiguo Gong. Qin Qiong and his wife, as well as Qin Huaidao, were already waiting at the door. is just a proposal, naturally you can't see the right master. The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and someone sang what the dowry was.

The dowry prepared by Li Zhen is a standard template for both parties, neither high nor low, and it is definitely passable in terms of face. But today's proposing team spread 100 meters, and it seems a little shabby. The whispers of the onlookers reached Li Zhen's ears, and his face became a little ugly.

In fact, the Li family is not bad for money, not to mention that when he ran the winery with Li Mu, he earned tens of thousands of cash. Even if there is no winery, Li Ji's achievements are brilliant, and Li Shimin rewarded him with a lot of land, just the rent is tens of thousands of yuan a year, and the money from selling grain is also some, and the annual income is 100,000 yuan.

But he didn't expect Li Mu to get so many people, and when he heard the whispers of the people, he couldn't get off the stage a little.

Li Siwen didn't care, he was reluctant to get married, and it didn't matter what he looked like.

After singing the dowry, it was naturally a lobby narrative. Qin Qiong asked the housekeeper to accept the dowry and invite the group of relatives into the house.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "This dowry, there is another one." Fang Cai, it was a dowry prepared by my father-in-law for my brother-in-law, but I, as a brother-in-law, haven't expressed it yet. Come, bring me the dowry I prepared for my brother-in-law! ”

Li Mu's hand, no one told him before, he ordered Ergou to do it, and even Dugu Jiu, Li Siwen and others didn't know. Hearing this, they all looked at the back of the crowd, and saw four big men, carrying two poles, and under the poles was a large box, which looked quite heavy, and the four people were struggling to carry it.

With a slam on the ground, the big box fell to the ground, and it actually pressed the ground down an inch.

Li Mu waved his hand, asked everyone to remove the pole and rope, walked over and opened the box, and suddenly a burst of golden light was dazzling. Inside this big box, it was all gold bars, a pound of "big goldfish", full of boxes!

"Ten thousand taels of gold, congratulations on my brother's wedding!"
