"My father can't afford to be a 'male' word for Hou Ye, didn't Hou Ye say that my father is an 'old dog'? It's not like what a husband does. ”

Wei Yingluo's tone was tactful, without the slightest anger, but as if talking between friends, Li Mu smiled and said, "Sure enough, she is worthy of being the daughter of Duke Wei, and her words are indeed sharper." But I still have to say, I don't call it a front and a back courtesy, this is called etiquette, and it's also a matter of facts. There is no right or wrong thing between me and Wei Gong, the political views are different, he thinks he is right, and I think I am right, but Wei Gong has no tolerance for people, and he wants to get rid of me quickly, I fight back for self-preservation, what's wrong? Shall he scold me, and will I not scold him? ”

Li Mu sneered, leaned closer to Wei Yingluo, and whispered: "I didn't kill him, it's already his blessing." ”

Wei Yingluo didn't expect Li Mu to be so arrogant, daring to say in front of her that he was going to kill his father, no matter how good his cultivation was, he couldn't hold it back, his face was slightly pale, his apricot eyes were up, and he said, "You...... You are unreasonable! ”

"Oh?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can I be unreasonable?" ”

"My father impeached you because you murdered, and it cannot be said that he wants to get rid of you."

"Zhao Yuanlang insulted my mother, shouldn't I kill him? This is the righteousness of filial piety, don't you understand? What did your father impeach me for, do you really not know, or pretend not to know, you know in your heart, he wants to kill me because he is afraid of me, he is afraid of me, he is afraid of raising tigers, and I didn't kill him because...... I'm a big-minded person, and I didn't take him in my eyes, no matter what he does, it's in my hands, and we have already made a bet in front of His Majesty and the six Shangshu, at this time next year, your father is my apprentice, I am your master, I can't raise the butcher's knife to my apprentice, right? Disciple Sun ...... Daughter? ”

"You...... Arrogance! Do you think you'll be able to get the top spot? Brag unblushingly! ”

"Of course I'll be able to get the top spot!" Li Mu seemed to have heard something funny, and said: "Haven't you heard that rumor, I am a person with Su Hui, a genius in the sky, as long as I want to take the test, who will be the champion?" ”

"Impossible!" Wei Yingluo said angrily, but why it was impossible, she couldn't say. Before meeting Li Mu, Wei Yingluo had already learned something about Li Mu, but when she talked to Li Mu, Li Mu's every sentence was something she didn't expect, and every sentence was more and more annoying, which already made her confused.

This is not unusual, Wei Zheng is not Li Mu's opponent, Wei Yingluo was taught by Wei Zheng, how is he his opponent?

Li Mu wanted this effect, and when he saw that Wei Yingluo was angry, he was happy. Teenage girls, pretending to be thoughtful and flustered, is normal. Li Mu himself forgot that he was only seventeen years old now. In Wei Yingluo's eyes, he is the real thoughtful person.

"What about me and your father's affairs, don't get involved with your little girl, hide to the side, save your father trouble. You're here today, did you come here secretly? Don't worry, I won't tell your father, when the food is served, you eat more, you know that your family is poor, and you can't usually eat meat, right? Later, I will tell the cook, pack some for you to take away, go home and hide in the quilt to eat, be careful, don't your father smell the stuffing again. ”

Wei Yingluo's eyes widened, if she hadn't read poetry since she was a child and hadn't learned how to scold, she would really have to scold.

"Don't look at me with this kind of look, I know that the strong will always be worshipped, I am also very handsome, and it is normal for you to be tempted by me, but I am your master, my seniority does not allow it, restrain your careful thinking, otherwise, I will teach you a lesson in the name of my master."

"Dengzi!" This is the most ruthless thing Wei Yingluo can think of.

Li Mu laughed out loud and said, "Okay, I'll talk to you for a while, I'm in a good mood, I still have things here, let's stay where it's cool." ”

"Humph!"

Wei Yingluo turned around and left, just took two steps, and suddenly felt a little confused. What's wrong with me, why should I listen to him? I'm here to trouble him today!

Thinking like this, Wei Yingluo turned around again and returned to Li Mu angrily. Li Mu saw that she was back again, and said, "What's the matter, you want to make two moves with me?" Change your father, I don't beat women! ”

"I ......"

"What am I, do you still want to curse? I am your master, you dare to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors? ”

"You!"

"What are you? A girl's house, what do you think you look like? Standing here pinching your waist and pointing at my nose? Are you a shrew? Hurry up and go aside, if people see it, they still think that I have done something to you, you don't want a name, I still want a name. I have a wife, how can I be casual? ”

Wei Yingluo hurriedly took her hand back and glared at Li Mu, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Words can't be said, scolding people can't be scolded, and they definitely can't be beaten, so they are not willing to leave like this, for a while, Wei Yingluo's heart is mixed, she finally realized the feeling she felt when Wei Zheng read the holy decree that day, full of malice, malice surging from all directions!

"Alas...... Poor thing! Seeing that Wei Yingluo was still not leaving, Li Mu sighed, took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it over. Wei Yingluo looked up at Li Mu, but refused to answer, Li Mu directly reached out and pulled her sleeve and put the paper bag on her hand.

"This is the candied fruit I just got from the back kitchen, I was going to give it to my concubine, seeing that you are so pitiful, let's take it and coax you first. Alas, didn't I say you, look at you like this, you are sixteen or seventeen, how can you be like a child of fourteen or fifteen? After a little setback, I can't bear it anymore, and I have to let my opponent coax you, how can I achieve great things in the future? Who would dare to marry you? Okay, the master won't talk about you, take it and eat it. ”

"I don't want your stuff......"

"Not leaving? Then I'm leaving! Am I leaving? Li Mu took two steps out and glanced back, Wei Yingluo was still standing stupidly, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Good look, very persistent, really surnamed Wei, you stay, I'm leaving, I can't afford to spend it with you." ”

Saying that, Li Mu really left. The guests are almost here, and he has to count how much he has received for today's gifts, and when it will be auspicious, he will preside over the opening.

Wei Yingluo watched Li Mu walk away blankly, she didn't come to her senses, she looked down at the paper bag in her hand, hesitated, opened a corner with her fingers, saw the candied fruit inside, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

Li Mu is right in saying that the Wei family is very poor. You can't usually eat meat, let alone snacks like candied fruit. The last time Wei Yingluo ate candied fruit, it was the previous Chinese New Year, Li Shimin rewarded the ministers, Wei Zheng divided a basket of candied fruits, Wei Yingluo was only fourteen years old at that time, and she is seventeen years old this year.

"I won't eat ......it," Wei Yingluo rewrapped the paper bag and threw it on the ground. But looking at the stone slab on the ground as smooth as a mirror, if you throw this paper bag on it, it seems to be evil, and after hesitating, you still didn't throw it.

"Forget it, I'll see him later, and I'll just return him."

Wei Yingluo took a deep breath, calmed down, worried about being seen by Kong Yingda and others, and stuffed the paper bag into her sleeve. Fortunately, today is a woman dressed as a man, and the cuffs are wide, otherwise such a big bag of candied fruit really can't be hidden.

……

"Why is it so much money!"

In the warehouse, Li Mu took the account book handed over by Xiao Chen's father-in-law, quite disappointed. According to the list recorded in this account book, the total gift money of the hundreds of tables of guests today is less than 20,000 yuan. In total, each table is less than 200 pieces.

There are several people at a table, and each person averages down dozens of times? Are all the officials of Datang so poor?

Li Mu looked at it carefully, and the most generous shots, Gao Shilian, the Duke of Shenguo, and Sun Wuji, the eldest Duke of Zhao, both of them were a thousand times. In addition to the two of them, Cheng Biting Jin, Li Ji and others are another one, five hundred yuan. Further down, the person in charge of each gate valve in Chang'an, two hundred, and then down is one hundred, dozens of runs, and even a single-digit one.

Li Mu looked down and searched, and finally found Kong Yingda's name in the last few places, and his gift was worth only ten yuan. Li Mu really wants to scold, today's banquet, each table has two altars of champion red, ten yuan and one altar, this is twenty. According to this account, Kong Yingda's table not only did not make money, but lost money. and Wei Yingluo who sent a congratulatory post, Li Mu originally thought she was naïve like an idiot, but she didn't expect that she was really eating for nothing, what can the congratulatory post do? Is it used as straw paper when you go to the toilet?

This trade is done!

Li Mu threw the account book on the ground, and Xiao Chen's father-in-law hurriedly bent down to pick it up and persuaded: "Master Hou...... Manager, don't be angry. This is already very good, don't you want to think, what is the identity of today's guests? Even if they have money, do they dare to give more? ”

"......" Li Muleng paused for a moment and suddenly realized. Yes, yes, most of the people who came today are officials, not officials, but also princes and the like. Even if they have money, do they dare to give more courtesy? Take Kong Yingda as an example, he is the prince of the country and the sacrificial wine, and he will give a thousand salutes at once, what will others think? How can you have so much money?

The same is true for the eldest grandson Wuji and others, even if the eldest grandson Wuji has money, but he also has to think about it, Li Shimin always talks about the emptiness of the inside, he is Li Shimin's courtier, and his brother-in-law, he is reasonable, and he should help Li Shimin when he is short of money. It's not impossible to help, but the emperor's internal money is empty, it has always been empty, and it is a bottomless pit. Can the eldest grandson Wuji not understand this truth? If he fills this hole, his family will be filled in completely, and he will still not be able to fill it.

So, don't show your wealth.

"A bunch of old foxes!" Li Mu gritted his teeth with hatred, he wanted to make a big profit from the opportunity to open a business, but he didn't expect to miscalculate. Today's 100 tables of noodles are all top-notch, so top-notch that even beef is available! Not counting the cost of wine, it has already reached two or three thousand, and counting the cost of wine, there are six or seven thousand. Thinking that he only earned 10,000 yuan once he opened his business, Li Mu's mood was a little depressed.

It's getting harder and harder to make money now!
