Chapter 451: The right to speak

"Husband, I ......" Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly spoke, but she wanted to stop talking. Li Mu glanced at her and said, "You and I are husband and wife, what can't you say?" ”

"It's nothing," Bai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "It's about Gensheng, it's almost the New Year, Uncle Siwen will come, but Gensheng hasn't come back, my father and mother don't say it, but I can see that they are all very worried." ”

"Oh," Li Mu smiled and said, "That's it, it's my negligence." But it's not a big deal, you just ask Siwen directly. ”

"Oh, I ......" Bai Qiaoqiao pulled Li Mu's sleeve and said coquettishly: "It's better for you to ask." ”

"When you are a sister-in-law, why can't you let go?" Li Mu saw that Bai Qiaoqiao was in such a hurry, so he had to agree. In fact, this matter is indeed his negligence, Bai Gensheng is Bai Qiaoqiao's younger brother, and he is also his own brother-in-law, and he should care more about being a brother-in-law.

Suddenly, Li Mu saw Li Zhien's expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Chinese New Year, also think of your relatives? ”

"No," Li Zhien shook his head, the smile on his face was not unusual at all, making Li Mu wonder if he had just read it wrong.

"I'm thinking about what I haven't bought for the New Year, and I'm going to buy it with Xiaozhu tomorrow, I'm a little distracted."

"Oh." This reason can also be explained, but Li Mu still feels that Li Zhien has something on his mind, and it is a kind of intuition if he can't say it clearly.

The meal was almost finished, and the maid came from the front yard to clean up. Li Mu picked up Fat Da and put it on his lap, and brought it over to feed it a steamed nest specially for him. This guy is such a scoundrel, no matter how much food he is given during the meal. It's all a snack, and when he eats, he still eats a little bit, or how can he be as fat as a ball.

Bai Qiaoqiao went to take a bath, Li Zhien also got up to take stock of the goods, and Li Mu sat alone in the yard feeding Fat Da, looking somewhat lonely. Suddenly, there was a gust of fragrant wind, Li Mu looked up and saw Wang Ou, pulled the chair next to him a little closer, and motioned for her to sit down.

Wang Ou sat next to Li Mu, and Fat Da smelled the smell of Wang Ou's body, and couldn't help but get closer.

Li Mu was a little jealous when he saw Fat Da's appearance, slapped his buttocks, and said, "Stinky boy, this is your mother, her man is your father, don't make up your mind!" ”

Wang Oujiao laughed, pushed Li Mu, and said, "You, you are not serious." ”

Li Mu leaned on Wang Ou's shoulder and said, "Why is it not serious, say it on the bright side, and you can't say it clearly in the future." You are my woman, no matter if you are a human or a beast, you have to give Lao Tzu a retreat, who dares to provoke you, see how I clean him up. ”

Wang Ou knew what Li Mu meant, smiled, and didn't say anything. She glanced at Li Mu, deliberately diverted the conversation, and said, "Lang Jun, I heard Zhi'en say, are you two going to get married on the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

"Hmm." Li Mu nodded, told Wang Ou all the causes and consequences of the matter, and said, "I'll discuss it with you before it's okay, don't be angry." ”

"What am I angry about?" Wang Ou said with a smile: "Zhi'en is ahead of me, the sooner you marry her, I can also marry earlier...... I don't blame you for coming today, I just want to ask, both of us, when-"

"Hmm......" Li Mu groaned, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this problem. Because his original plan was to think about other women's affairs after Bai Qiaoqiao became pregnant. But in the end, it was not implemented according to his original plan, and Wang Ou's matter was even more difficult. The last time he saw Concubine Yang, Li Mu had already learned how persistent Li Shimin was about this 'secret love' with Wang Ou. If his relationship with Wang Ou is exposed now, Li Mu really doesn't have confidence that he will be fine.

A man who is in love will do anything.

Seeing Li Mu embarrassed, Wang Ou could also understand. After all, she is not a teenage girl, and she gets carried away when she falls in love. In addition to the charm of age and maturity, time has brought her, as well as a calm mind and a calmness that does not surprise her.

Wang Ou lightly grabbed Li Mu's arm and said, "Lang, I was originally a hard-working person. I thought that my life was like this, sooner or later, accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, I had the rest of my life. It wasn't until I met you that I had hope. Actually, I don't care about my status, as long as you can treat me sincerely. Even if you don't get married, it doesn't matter. ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "You are fine, but I can't be harmless." I'm a man, if I can't even give myself a name, what can I talk about? I must give you the title, but it is undeniable that I am not strong enough now. I'm not sure if what I'm doing now can withstand ...... in Your Majesty's heart."

"I really don't care." Wang Ou's eyes locked on Li Mu's face, and said sincerely: "I know that you love me and pity me." I did all this for me. But Lang Jun, do you know? Seeing you so tired, my heart hurts, and it has exceeded my desire for fame. I'd rather be idle with you than have you maneuver between all forces and go to the front for Li Shimin. Lang, you have me in your heart, and we are the same without a name. If you don't have me in your heart, what can you do if you have a name? I'm here today to tell you that after you get married to Zhi'en, we'll ...... Let's be together, I don't want any name, I just want to be with you as soon as possible. I...... I want to give you a baby. ”

When he said the last sentence, Wang Ou was already blushing to the root of his ears, and his voice was so small that he could hardly hear it.

Li Mu can understand Wang Ou's anxiety, because she is already thirty-two years old. In this day and age, thirty-two years old is already quite an old age. If you don't have children, it will be very difficult to have children in the future. It's not that you can't give birth, it's very dangerous, and in this era, there are no conditions for surgery, and dystocia is about the same as death.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said: "The night of the candles in the cave room, when the title of the gold list is - gull, let's do it, the day we get married will be set at the time of the title of my gold list." When the time came, the valley was also built. Let's build a small courtyard, only you and me, drink a glass of wine, heaven and earth as evidence, get married, do you think it's good? ”

"Hmm!" Wang Ou nodded without hesitation, and said, "Husband's words must be counted, so that's it, I'll make preparations." ”

As he spoke, he was about to get up, Li Mu took her hand and said, "Why are you in a hurry, there is still a period of time." Besides, aren't you worried that I won't pass the test? ”

"How can the husband fail the test, those mediocre talents, who can compare with the husband?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said don't be so arrogant, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, maybe the horse will miss the front hoof. But when the words came to his mouth, he thought again, Wang Ou was reasonable, his own strength is here, and it is not allowed to be low-key, if anyone can surpass himself, unless he is also a cross-passer, otherwise with those ancient poems recited from elementary school to high school, plus the baptism of the college entrance examination in the middle and final of the monthly examination for hundreds of times, if anyone wants to take the test, it will be a little hard.

Thinking of this, Li Mu was suddenly full of pride: "There is nothing wrong with it, the champion of this imperial examination is none other than me!" ”

"But ......" Wang Ou suddenly changed his tone, Li Mu couldn't help frowning, and said, "But what? Don't you have faith in me? ”

"Naturally, it's not without confidence." Wang Ou hurriedly explained, "It's just that husband, you have to be more careful." The preparation for the imperial examination has always been done by the Ministry of Rites. And the top and bottom of the Ministry of Rites are all scholars. Not limited to Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hetao and other prominent families, there are people in the Ministry of Rites. You have a mortal enmity with the Shandong Shi clan, although they are not in harmony with the Shandong Shi clan, but they are also in the same spirit. They naturally understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. I'm afraid that if you participate in the imperial examination this time, they will unite to stop it. ”

"How can you do that?" Li Mu was dumbfounded, and said angrily: "My strength is here, can they still tamper with my article?" ”

"Not really." Wang Ou seemed to have deliberately understood this, and said, "Husband, they won't tamper with your article." But I will do a little bit of tricks in the matter of tasting the examination papers. There are so many candidates, after all, Your Majesty can't read all of them in person. They are all issued by the Ministry of Rites and the Guozi Prison, who first read the papers, and then divide them into three, six, nine and so on. If they put your paper in the second class during the evaluation, then the husband will not be able to win the top prize. ”

"When I'm a vegetarian?" Li Mu hated: "If they dare to do this, I won't let them have a good time." In front of hundreds of officials, I will ask those who are marking the papers, why can't my article be graded, and if I can't give an explanation, I will burn their house and break their dog's legs! ”

"Husband," Wang Ou looked at Li Mu so naΓ―ve, and said helplessly: "There is no very strict standard for evaluation, personal preferences are different, and the angle of evaluation is naturally different. After all, the quality of the article, in the final analysis, is still the final word of those scholars. ”

"Hmm......" Li Mu understood what Wang Ou meant, this is actually a matter of right to speak. The scholars who have the right to speak say that your article is good, that is good, and that your article is not good, that is not good. This is like the so-called "art circle" in his previous life, some so-called painters, drawing a circle on a blank paper, can be auctioned for millions of dollars. Because people are artists, the one they paint is called "abstract", and the students who paint oil paintings like pictures can't even earn money for paint, who makes you paint so well, paint so well, it's better to take a picture with a camera, there is no room for imagination at all.

Good or bad, it depends on whose "big mouth", this mouth is the right to speak.
