Li Mu's heart was itching, but when he looked at the experience bar of the middle level to the senior level, he was a little desperate. He estimated that if he promoted the intermediate level to the advanced level according to the speed of the primary level to the intermediate level, it would take at least half a year without sleeping. And the cost is also something he can't afford at the moment. Don't look at the fact that he has about 10,000 yuan in his hand now, but the money has already gone somewhere, and the holes on the craftsman's side can't be plugged, and money is used everywhere, and there are not many that can really be used to upgrade skills.

Li Mu took a look at the matter at hand. The construction of a craftsman's workshop, the internal reform of the Ministry of Industry, the construction of heaven and earth, but also to make a plough, practice calligraphy...... It's too busy!

Li Mu decided to reduce his burden and find time to upgrade his skills. The construction of the craftsman workshop can be handed over to Yuwengui, and the reform of the Ministry of Industry will be put aside for the time being. On the other side of heaven and earth, I don't worry about that little experience, I go to pay my salary every afternoon, and Gongsun Kang can take care of the rest. The Quyuan plough is still three parts away from being ready, and it won't take more than a morning to finish. In this way, it seems that the only thing left is to practice calligraphy by yourself.

Practice calligraphy, upgrade skills, two things!

"Practice calligraphy, practice calligraphy...... Huh? Li Mu suddenly had a thought in his mind, and his eyes lit up. He thought of a way to get Li Shimin's praise without practicing calligraphy. Li Mu is a person who does what he thinks, and he didn't eat breakfast at the moment, shouted Li Chongyi to prepare the horse, and went out to the Ministry of Industry. On the way, you pass by the West Market, and you can buy anything you want.

Inner house.

Bai Qiaoqiao had long been familiar with Li Mu's temperament, and knew that he was only angry for a while, so he didn't worry about it, and slept peacefully. But Li Zhien didn't know Li Mu's temper, he saw that Li Mu was angry last night, although he was comforted by Bai Qiaoqiao's gentle words, but he still tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much. When I got up in the morning, two big dark circles hung on my face, and my whole complexion was a little wilted.

She originally thought that she would find Li Mu to admit her mistake and find a way to make him forgive herself. But when I arrived at the front yard, I happened to see Li Mu taking Li Chongyi and others out, and returned to the back house with a wilt. After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao woke up, the maids waited for her to have breakfast, and asked Li Mu to learn that he had gone out, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't ask much, so she discussed with Li Zhien what to do.

Women are idle, they always love to go shopping, the Tang Dynasty social atmosphere is open, there is no 'door does not go out of the door and does not step out' rules, women shopping is a normal thing.

When Bai Qiaoqiao was in Mayi, he helped the family sell wine and buy materials, and he always dealt with him outside, and he didn't like to stay at home. It happened that the rouge was almost used, so he asked the groom to prepare the car and took Li Zhien out to buy rouge together. Bai Qiaoqiao knew that Li Zhien's mind was heavy, and Li Mu's appearance scared her yesterday, and he planned to buy a box of rouge for her to comfort her. But I didn't expect that a very normal time to go out caused a storm.

Chang'an City has two cities, East and West, both of which are markets, but they are very different. The dragons and snakes in the west market are mixed, and the things sold are also miscellaneous, there are livestock and slaves, there are cloth and grain and tea, just like the big market in the later generations, basically people want to get it, what can be used, there are all sold here, and the price is very reasonable. The East Market is different, the business opened here is unaffordable for ordinary people, such as spices, jewelry, silk, ink, etc., even if the things sold are the same as those in the West Market, the price is much higher, such as the brand stores of later generations, the grade is different.

According to Bai Qiaoqiao's character, she likes to go to the West Market. But since Li Mu set the rule that he must bring his entourage when he goes out, it is not very convenient to go to the West Market to buy things. The West Market is densely populated, the vehicles are inconvenient, and with so many retinues, it is also particularly conspicuous. And when it comes to the East City, the carriage entourage is very common and does not appear abrupt. Last time, Sun took Bai Qiaoqiao to the East Market to buy things once, including rouge gouache, Bai Qiaoqiao thought it was very good, so he planned to buy it again today.

The shop is 'Fuchun Pavilion', which has been opened in Chang'an for several years. In the previous dynasty, there was this shop, which was a time-honored brand and had a small reputation in Chang'an City. The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, and it has been passed down for three generations. But what few people know is that this shop is actually the industry of the Boling Cui clan, which is a thousand-year-old gate valve with tentacles all over the Central Plains, and Fuchun Pavilion is just one of them. The shopkeeper of this Fuchun Pavilion, the ancestor was the domestic slave of the Cui family, and because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to become the shopkeeper of Fuchun Pavilion. Most of the annual profits have to be handed over to the Cui family.

Shopkeeper Wang was doing business peacefully, and although most of the profits had to be handed over, he was also very content. After all, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, with the big tree of the Cui family to support, no one dares to bully, and life is quite smooth. But since Cui Yuyan, the eldest son of the Cui family, came to Chang'an, there has been no peaceful life. This Cui Gongzi doesn't know what's going on, he doesn't look like a child of the Cui family at all, but like a scoundrel on the street, after knowing that Fuchun Pavilion is the Cui family's industry, he came to fight the autumn breeze twice in three days.

At first, it was okay, but he just brought his female dependents to take the fat powder for nothing, but later he intensified and began to ask for money, and the shopkeeper Wang didn't dare to offend him, so he had to grit his teeth and give it. Three through five, eight through ten, more and more. In the past six months, it has been less than 15 yuan per month, and I don't want to buy Ansheng.

It's here again today, and it's going to be twenty times when you open your mouth! The shopkeeper really can't stand it, and honest people also have three points of earthiness, and they don't give anything, which is very unpleasant. Cui Yuyan said that he would abolish the errand of the shopkeeper within a month, and walked out with a snort after speaking. As soon as they arrived at the door, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien got out of the car, Cui Yuyan recognized it at a glance, was overjoyed, and came up to entangle. The entourage brought by Bai Qiaoqiao was not used to him, and the two sides fought. The shopkeeper Wang saw that Cui Yuyan had suffered a loss, no matter how he said that he was also the young master of the main family, he couldn't help it, so he called the guys in the store to help, Bai Qiaoqiao only brought four entourage, and more than ten people on the opposite side, so he fell behind. The carriage was surrounded, the shopkeeper of the king reported to the official, and the officials came, taking both sides to the Chang'an County Ya.

Chang'an County Ya is located in the west of the city of Changshou Fang, just next to the Ministry of Industry, only one street away from the Ministry of Industry, this side is the construction site of the craftsman's workshop, and the other side is the door of the Changshou Fang. With so many people on the road, many people are curious to inquire, and more and more people gather, and there is a large area. Li Mu happened to come out of the Ministry of Industry, and when he saw such a scene, he stopped his horse, planning to wait for someone to go over before leaving. Li Chongyi is tall and big, and he can see farther than Li Mu, and when he saw Bai Qiaoqiao's carriage, he hurriedly shouted: "Boss, Madame has been arrested by the officials!" ”

"What?" Li Mu followed Li Chongyi's finger and saw only the roof of a carriage, isn't it his own carriage.
