Sun only has opinions about Bai Nao'er and his wife, but he doesn't have anything to do with Bai Gensheng, a junior, and he feels happy when he sees him eating happily, so he can't stop asking him to eat more. Li Mu went to the room with Bai Qiaoqiao to bring out the nest head, the two sat next to each other, Li Mu picked up the chopsticks, and said: "This is a wild boar that I begged the brothers of the Yamen to catch outside the city, picked up good meat and cooked a pot, no matter what, you are also Qiaoqiao's father, it is a little unreasonable to not entertain at the door, eat, rest at home for a night after eating, tomorrow I will bring some plates for you two to wrap back." ”

Bai Gensheng raised his head when he heard this, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, and said, "Brother-in-law Xie!" ”

Bai Hao'er raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, Bai Gensheng was beaten, he didn't know why, but he didn't think deeply, just glanced at his father, and lowered his head and ate again.

Bai Hao'er looked at Li Mu, thinking that if Li Mu looked at him, the two of them would look at each other, and he would be able to speak. But Li Mu is also amazing enough, when he heard the slap here, he didn't even raise his eyelids, as if there were no two people next to him, and he only cared about sandwiching meat for Bai Qiaoqiao. finally opened a meat season, of course he had to take care of his daughter-in-law first. Bai Qiaoqiao knew what Li Mu meant, and she also had the heart to cooperate with him in acting, but in front of so many people, she still couldn't let go. He was worried that Li Mu was too good to him, and he seemed to snub Sun, so he was busy sandwiching meat for Sun. Bai Nao'er waited for a long time with her rice bowl, didn't wait for anything, looked at her son again, and just cared about eating by herself, and couldn't help but feel very sad. Li Mu Yuguang saw his appearance, and while he was relieved, he also felt that it was not interesting, people are like this, when the distance is opened to a certain extent, the so-called love and hatred will become indifferent, because there is no need.

He embarrassed Bai Hao'er several times, firstly, to avenge his former arrogance, and secondly, to make Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao happy, now that the goal has been achieved, it will be a bit excessive to continue, and Bai Qiaoqiao may also feel uncomfortable. was about to say something to Bai Hao'er, when suddenly a scene happened that shocked him.

Bai Hao'er actually knelt down!

Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly got up to avoid it, Li Mu also stood up, Sun put down his chopsticks and looked at Bai Nao'er helplessly. The Tang people are heavy-minded, and they are not relatives or deceased, unless they have great kindness or ask for help, they will never kneel. Especially the elders to the juniors, people who have a little bit of face will never kneel, but Bai Haoer is such a skinless and faceless person, and he will do what ordinary people can't do.

Bai Qiaoqiao was still worried about this father in the end, glanced at Li Mu, reached out to help, and Bai Gensheng also pulled Bai Hao'er's clothes hard, trying to pull him up. But Bai Hao'er seemed to be iron-hearted, and pulled away the hand that his son and daughter stretched out, and he was about to kowtow to Li Mu. How could Li Mu accept his salute, turned sideways to avoid it, and said, "What are you doing here?" You are also Qiaoqiao's father, an elder, do you want to slander my reputation by giving me this great gift? ”

When Li Mu said this, he was by no means alarmist. The conditions for selecting officials in the Tang Dynasty had four aspects: first, the body, that is, the physical appearance should be plump and tall; Second, it is said that words should be eloquent and reasonable; The third is the book, which means that the French style of the book should be strong and beautiful; Fourth, the judgment should be written in a beautiful and smooth manner. But these four points are not the most important, the most important is virtue. Whether it is the court or the market, the Tang people attach great importance to virtue. This is also the reason why Li Siwen saw Li Mu for the first time, just heard about his deeds, and respected him very much. The judgment of the four items is good, but if the virtue is not good, it cannot be an official. But if the virtue is very good, and the body and words are slightly not good, then it is fine.

If Bai Nao'er knelt down to Li Mu, Li Mu did not hide, but suffered this kneeling, no matter what the reason is, Li Mu's virtue will be criticized, and the first virtue is 'filial piety', which is still in front of Xinyi. If a person is not filial, in the eyes of the Tang people, he is in vain and wants to be an official? No way!

Hearing Li Mu's words, Bai Hao'er quickly shook his head and said, "I definitely didn't mean this, I am ......" Li Mu interrupted him and said: "If you want to say anything, if you kneel like this, I won't talk to you about anything." ”

Sun also persuaded: "You are all old, why are you so self-respecting, in front of the children, what does this look like, hurry up!" ”

Bai Hao'er got up at this time, and everyone sat down again, Bai Qiaoqiao's tears were shallow, and she couldn't help but cry again. She didn't cry for Bai Hao'er's kneeling, but felt that such an untrustworthy and shameless person turned out to be her father, which was really uncomfortable. Bai Gensheng is a big-hearted person, and when he saw Bai Nao'er getting up, he looked at the meat in the bowl again, and he was not interested in what Bai Nao'er wanted to say.

Bai Hao'er sighed and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, mother-in-law, I kneel to Brother Li Kang." After he died, I broke the covenant, I didn't keep my word, I wasn't human. Qiaoqiao, it's the father who is not good, the father is eccentric, and he wants to marry you to a rich man, so that you can marry a good daughter-in-law to your brother. However, I can't help it. Mother-in-law, let's tell you the truth, after the death of Brother Li Kang, your family will live a good life...... It's really hopeless, I'm afraid that my daughter will suffer when she gets married. My daughter is so peugeot, who can not love it well when she arrives at someone's house, marry a rich man and take care of the money when she enters the door, no matter how bad the life is in the future, my son can still marry a good daughter-in-law, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

"My mistake is that I didn't see the ability of the virtuous son-in-law, and it is useless to say anything now, so I can only beg my mother-in-law and the virtuous son-in-law, for the sake of my daughter, don't worry about the previous things. In my life, I have responded to my name, and everything will be made in vain in the end, I deserve it! ”

Li Mu had already thought of this scene, he didn't have any surprised expression, and he didn't say anything, just watched him perform lightly. Sun felt something, she was a soft-hearted person, seeing Bai Nao'er with a handful of snot and tears, she couldn't bear it, pulled Li Mu a hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "As a parent, how can you be right in everything, how can you not be biased at all, the past things will pass, aren't we all here, we have to look back, son, don't care." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao didn't dare to speak, but Li Mu could see from her eyes that she also hoped to forgive her father.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, forget about the previous things, let's eat, no one will mention it." In order to show that this was sincere, Li Mu also sandwiched a piece of meat for Bai Nao'er.

Bai Hao'er didn't move his chopsticks, he had already relegated himself to such a low position, how could he be willing not to achieve the goal he wanted. I saw him stand up again, this time he didn't kneel, but gave a salute to Li Mu, Li Mu had probably guessed what he wanted to say, and felt bored in his heart, but he still had to get up and cooperate with him, first dodged sideways, and then helped him up, but he didn't help him up, Bai Hao'er lowered his head and didn't get up, Li Mu said helplessly: "What are you doing here, haven't you already promised not to mention it?" ”

"Virtuous son-in-law! I still have one more thing to ask for, and if you don't agree, I won't get up! ”
