Wang Pu complimented him for a while, and he didn't know how much he said against his will, but he finally calmed down the matter. A cup of tea has been drunk, Li Mu seems to be tired, Wang Pu knows that if he doesn't open his mouth again, he is afraid that he will be ordered to be evicted.

"Master Hou,"

"Huh?" Li Mu glanced at Wang Pu and said leisurely: "Brother Wang, I remember that you once said to me that you are willing to be my cattle and horses, but I just thought about it, how can I seem to have become the cattle and horses of your Taiyuan Wang family." At this time, if you say something that I don't like to hear, I will probably turn my face, so when you speak, be careful. ”

Wang Pu's open mouth closed again. He knew very well in his heart that what he wanted to say, Li Mu would definitely not like to listen.

But if you don't say it, I don't know how to explain it to Wang Jue when I go back.

Wang Pu couldn't help but be very annoyed in his heart, big brother, big brother, what kind of cleverness are you playing? If you do what I say, there is nothing to do, look at the person who embarrasses me, let alone being a cow and a horse for others, and now pretending to be a grandson for people, people will not take it seriously!

Li Mu sneered and said, "Brother Wang, there is a common truth in things in this world. This is the truth, if you do something wrong, you will definitely be punished and lost. You have done something wrong and don't want to suffer losses, so let me ask you, who will bear the losses? Me? ”

"Go back and tell your foolish brother! I don't want to pursue this incident, but it's impossible to still want the profit I said at the beginning. Since you don't do what I say, you just can't trust me, you can't trust me, what else do you say? I didn't stir up this matter in front of His Majesty, I have already done my best. Now Your Majesty is furious, and Guan Longxun is eyeing him again, do you still expect me to speak for you? What did you do earlier! Do you really think I'm a cow or a horse? ”

Wang Pulian didn't dare.

Li Mu continued: "The regulations for building the road, I will send someone to your house in a few days. In the future, I may not have any cooperation with the Taiyuan Wang family. Even if there is, Wang Jue must not participate in it, if he participates, I will withdraw, and the words will be put here, and you will watch it. ”

"Master Hou—"

"Sending off!"

Li Mu stood up, Wang Pu reached out and wanted to pull Li Mu's sleeve, but Li Chongyi blocked him and failed to succeed. Wang Pu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and when he wanted to bypass Li Chongyi, Li Mu had already walked away.

"Big man, you!"

"Huh?" Li Chongyi widened his eyes and said in an urn voice: "The big man is also your name?" Don't I have a name? Maverick Horse, it's really giving you face! ”

After that, Li Chongyi reached out and grabbed Wang Pu's neck, picked him up and walked to the door, slammed it directly on the ground, and then slammed the door shut.

Wang Pu was so angry that his face was red, and he stood in front of the door of the Zhulu Hou Mansion and jumped to his feet, but he didn't dare to scold loudly, stomped his feet fiercely, got into the carriage and left.

Li Mu returned to the back house, sorted out his mood, and quickly adjusted his state.

In fact, whether to build roads or not, to make money or not to make money, is not a very important thing for him. Whether he does this or not, it doesn't have a great impact on him. In contrast, he values harmony in the family more.

After being busy for so long, it's time to deal with the affairs outside the house.

Li Mu called Xiaozhu over and instructed him to go down, today he will eat in the dining hall with his subordinates, let the cook add a few more dishes, and be happy today. Xiaozhu happily took the order and left, Li Mu came to the studio, rushed for a while to the proficiency of [Mechanism], after about half an hour, Xiaozhu came to invite, Li Mu put down the parts in his hand, and came to the canteen where the people usually eat.

Li Mu rarely comes here, although he is not a very good person, but after all, he is the master of this mansion, usually when Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien are at home, he eats in the back house. When I'm busy, I occasionally eat in the studio, and I hardly eat in the cafeteria.

The subordinates were also very nervous about Li Mu's arrival. They were mainly worried about why Li Mu suddenly came to the next person's canteen to eat. Could it be that the cost of food is too big, and Master Hou is going to check?

People have this kind of suspicion, but it is really because of the fear in their hearts. In terms of the current average living standard of the Tang Dynasty, the subordinates of the Zhulu Hou Mansion are about equal to the county order of Mayi County. Even if it is the county order of Mayi County, it is impossible to eat meat every day, but the Zhuluhou Mansion kills a sheep every day. To put it a little arrogantly, people are a little tired of eating mutton now.

Such a standard of living is obviously not something that the subordinates should enjoy, so the subordinates will be uneasy.

But Li Mu didn't think about these things at all. In his consciousness, it is appropriate for people to eat better. is like the game company he worked for in his previous life, 'creating happiness with heart', although the outside world has mixed reviews. But the working meal is definitely the benchmark in the industry.

Four meals a day, all-you-can-eat. Morning, noon and evening plus supper, come to the company canteen anytime and anywhere, there must be something to eat. In the words of the boss, most of the employees, it is impossible to go to the company for a meal, since he can eat this working meal, it means that he is busy with work, for busy work, even overtime work people, provide some food is nothing? How much money can you eat if you eat it openly? It's nothing compared to the value created.

Li Mu also had the same idea, although these subordinates could not create any value for him. But under the same roof, meeting is fate. Li Mu is a traverser, and he is like duckweed in this world, without roots. I thought that the mother was the root, but I didn't expect that the mother-son relationship was not biological. When I think about it like this, I feel desolate in my heart. In the previous life, he was an orphan, but in this life, what is the difference?

It is not related to the Sun family by blood, so the 'adoptive mother' of the Sun family is the same as the old dean in the previous life. In his previous life, in Li Mu's kinship, the old dean was his adoptive father.

There are no relatives, two lives, no relatives.

In this life, I originally recognized a brother-in-law, and by the way, I got a cheap father-in-law. Unexpectedly, not long after recognizing, the brother-in-law and father-in-law were thousands of miles away.

Sometimes I can't sleep at night, Li Mu also thinks. Is it his fate to commit the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, so he will live like this. But he never complained about anything, because Li Mu has always felt that life is like creating an account in a game, and the initial attributes are randomly generated, which is no way to do it. Is it because your initial attributes are not good, you don't live?

I still have to live my life!

It's just that I'm really a little unlucky. 'Retrained' once, but the initial attributes were still random and messy.

The identity of an orphan made Li Mu in his previous life very cautious, because he couldn't afford to fail. Ordinary people fail to do things, and there will be parents or relatives and friends to comfort them, so it's a big deal to start all over again, one person helps, and the crisis will pass. But Li Mu can't, he has no parents, no relatives, and no one can count on him.

As for friends, from childhood to adulthood, Li Mu has always been the object of discrimination, and before graduating from college, where did he have any friends. In the social environment of the previous life, making friends had to be matched. How many of the children of rich families will be true friends with the children of poor families? Not to mention an orphan, no connections, no money, everyone has a meal together, you can't afford to spend the AA system, how can you be a friend?

It wasn't until he graduated from college and worked and he was able to earn money that Li Mu had a few 'wine and meat friends'.

In fact, at this stage, Li Mu already has the qualifications to make friends. But at this time, it is difficult for him to trust a person. He couldn't tell whether a person was good to him because of him as a person or because of other conditions attached to him as a person. Therefore, his several relationships ended in failure.

Although the reasons for the breakup are not the same, in the final analysis, Li Mu himself also has a reason. He can't be like an ordinary person and completely open his heart. Because he is afraid of being hurt and is too cautious, he always subconsciously 'leaves' a little for himself, and cannot devote himself wholeheartedly and give wholeheartedly. Love is a thing, sometimes it's just a little bit worse.

It's not that Li Mu doesn't understand these truths, but he can't correct them. In his previous life, the only person who made him feel that everything was worth it was the old dean, but the old dean had passed away. Except for the old dean, even his previous girlfriends, he didn't feel that this person was worth everything he had. Because only he knows how difficult it was for him to come out of that dilapidated orphanage and live as a human being at the age of twenty-eight.

After coming to this world, the thing that made Li Mu feel lucky the most was Bai Qiaoqiao's existence.

This is a person he can trust with confidence, someone he gives everything for without feeling unworthy. Because Bai Qiaoqiao is single-minded and 100% devoted to him.

Bai Qiaoqiao's existence made Li Mu feel that there was still a little sunshine in his life in his two lives. Especially after knowing that Sun is not his 'biological mother', this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

This is something that neither Li Zhien nor Wang Ou can replace.

Whether it is Li Zhien or Wang Ou. Li Mu can feel that he is not very deep in the city, and they have reservations. Whatever the reason, they are not 100 percent.

They love themselves, but they all have something more important. When they have to make a choice, they are very likely to betray themselves.

But Bai Qiaoqiao won't, Li Mu knows that in her life, she is the most important thing for her.

The difference, I can't tell, but I feel it, and it's very clear.

Li Mu clearly understands that he is a lonely person. Although he himself has tasted the cold of loneliness, he does not mind, within the scope of his ability, let those who still have the opportunity to warm feel warm.

The subordinates of the house were the closest to his life, and he would love to see them live happily. Because of this, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion can have the treatment that they are afraid of today.

Today, Li Mu decided to go one step further.

"Ahem!"

Gathering everyone's attention, Li Mu spoke: "Everyone has been in my house for three or four months, right?" ”

All should be.

Li Mu nodded, and asked again, "Can you have a happy life?" ”

Xiaozhu meets Li Mu more on weekdays, and is relatively familiar, everyone you look at me, I look at you, and then motioned for her to speak on behalf of her. Xiaozhu knew Li Mu's personality, and he didn't feel afraid, and said: "Master Hou, everyone is in the house, don't worry about food and clothing, of course you are happy." ”

"No!" Li Mu said solemnly: "You are not really happy. ”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't understand the meaning of Li Mu's words. Wei Yingluo and Pearl, who were sitting at the end, were also confused, how could they have food and clothing, and they were not really happy, so how could they be considered real happiness?

"You are all the children of your parents, some of them, like the porter Lao Zhao, should be the father of the child, you were brought back by me from the Teaching Division, and you have no worries about food and clothing, so you have never thought about your parents, how are your children doing?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes turned red.

Xiaozhu choked up and said, "Master Hou, how dare we think-"

"I know what you guys think, so let's take Xiaozhu. Her father was a petty official, and he was sentenced to death for dereliction of duty. He is innocent of death. But it hurt Xiaozhu and her mother, and both mother and daughter were charged into the Teaching Workshop Division and became official slaves. Xiaozhu had a good life, and I was selected to come to the house to be a maid, but her mother was cleaning the palace in the Yeting Palace. There will be no goodbye day for the mother and daughter in this life, Xiaozhu is right, she really doesn't dare to think about it, because it's in vain to think about it! ”

Xiaozhu whimpered and cried.

Li Mu sighed and continued: "Filial piety is the road of humanity. There are tens of millions of people suffering in the world, and I can't control that many. But if more than 20 of you can be selected by me and become my subordinates, even if it is our fate. Today I promise you that I will do my best to help you find your relatives, only by blood, provided that he is not a traitor. ”

"In a situation like Xiaozhu's mother, I will go and ask the queen to release her mother from the palace so that she can reunite with Xiaozhu. Now Xiaozhu also has a lot of monthly money, which is enough to support her mother. In a few years, when Xiaozhu is older, if there is a sweetheart in the picture, I will also give her a dowry and let her marry beautifully. Everyone else is the same, as long as there is news of your loved ones, within the scope of my ability, I will help you find a way to reunite you. This is the promise I give you, Hou Li Mu! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a tear gas bomb in the canteen, and more than 20 people were in tears. Xiaozhu, the first to get the promise, has already cried into a tearful person. knelt in front of Li Mu and couldn't stop kowtowing.

Li Mu pulled her up and said angrily: "Get up for Lao Tzu, and only kowtow to apologize if you do something wrong." You haven't done anything wrong, kowtow, don't you have bones in your knees? Crying something, listening upset! It's a good thing, isn't it okay to be happy? Cry, cry, cry! Just cry again, wipe away your tears, and eat! ”
