【…… Since the fall of Jieli, only a few Turkic people have joined our Tang Dynasty, and all the larger tribes have been attached to Xue Yantuo. Xue Yantuo's power has increased several times, as if he has become the second Turk, and he has to guard against it. Another small part crossed the desert and migrated to the Gaochang border. Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang State, was deeply afraid, and according to the traders, Ju Wentai was already considering coming to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, and wanted to take advantage of the power of the Tang Dynasty to protect his country's ......].

Li Mu's expression became serious, and after reading the beginning, he thought that this letter was all nonsense, but he didn't expect that this kid had really grown up, and he was a bit serious. But such important things didn't go through official channels, so they were casually brought over, what if Tianai was a fine work? Didn't you leak all the news?

Li Mu thought to himself, when he replied to the letter, he had to reprimand this kid, it was too unrigorous.

【…… When I heard the news, I thought of my eldest brother's earnest teachings, and a wonderful note popped up in my mind. I asked Brother Wang to disguise himself as a vendor and infiltrate Gaochang to find out the truth, and the news I got was similar to the rumors. In the past few days, Ju Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, was going to leave for Chang'an with his wife Yuwen to pay tribute. In addition, I also got a message. Zhangjiazhai's Zhai Zhuxun has an old relationship with Ju Wentai, and wants to marry his daughter to Ju Wentai's son Ju Zhisheng. I inquired and learned that Zhang Xun only had one daughter, the sister-in-law who carried the letter for me. Knowing this, the younger brother was panicked, lest the eldest brother be kept in the dark, so he specially revised a book, hoping that the eldest brother would know and prepare early. Brother, Li Siwen respectfully. ”

"Bastard!" Li Mu was furious, slammed the table, and scolded: "Who told you that she is your sister-in-law?" I thought you had finally grown up and had something serious, so I was so angry!! Annoying! It's annoying! ”

Bai Qiaoqiao saw that Li Mu suddenly became angry when he looked at the letter, and couldn't help but come over curiously to take a look, Li Zhien also wanted to see it, but she was just a concubine, such a forbidden thing, without Li Mu's permission, she didn't dare.

Bai Qiaoqiao is also literate now, and basically recognizes all the words on this letter, when he saw that Zhang Xun wanted to marry Zhang Tianai to Ju Wentai's son Ju Zhisheng, he couldn't help but 'ah', after chatting for so long last night, Sister Tianai didn't reveal the news.

"Husband, what should I do, Sister Tianai is getting married."

"Hah!" Li Mu looked a little weak-hearted and said, "She wants to marry, what does it have to do with me." Don't look at this kid's nonsense, he knows something. When I see a woman, I call my sister-in-law, and when I am his eldest brother, I can't be a stallion? ”

Li Mu tore the letter to shreds, picked up the bowl and took a spoon to pick up the porridge in his mouth, drank it all in one bowl, got up and said: "I will go into the palace to send a mirror to the queen, I may not come back at noon, and you don't have to wait for me to eat." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao responded and put on a tiger fur for Li Mu, Li Mu pinched Li Zhien's face again, and ran out in a hurry.

Hearing the footsteps far away, Li Zhien looked at Bai Qiaoqiao with blank eyes and said, "Madam, what did the letter say?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, Uncle Siwen recognized Sister Tianai as his sister-in-law, and his husband was shy." Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Eat quickly, let's go out to buy something later." ”

"Oh." Li Zhien pouted, and his heart became worried again. I thought that after sending Wei Yingluo, the house would be able to stop for a few days, but I didn't expect that just after Wei Yingluo, another Zhang Tianai came. In terms of threats, this Zhang Tianai is much better than Wei Yingluo. She has a life-saving grace for her wife, and she can be regarded as a life-saving grace for her master, and she has such a good relationship with her wife, she is commensurate with her sisters, she can also work hard, and she is also beautiful, alas......

Li Zhien suddenly felt a little discouraged, why is it so difficult to be a concubine!

But soon she picked herself up.

Although Zhang Tianai's arrival is not a good thing, it is not entirely a bad thing. Just like yesterday, when the lady slept with her, she could have her own master. If you can take this opportunity to cook raw rice into mature rice, it is also a good thing!

And that Wang Ou!

I couldn't fight you before, and I couldn't take you. Now that you have this young lady who knows martial arts, it's really not okay to burn down your shop at night, see how majestic you are!

……

Lizheng Palace.

When there was nothing to do, Empress Changsun called Concubine Yan, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Wei to play mahjong together. Empress Eldest Sun had bad luck today, and she had already lit a cannon in a row, and her face was a little ugly. I wanted to retire and rest for a while, but seeing that the others were in good spirits, and she was not good at being a queen, she gritted her teeth and held up.

At this time, the female official came to report that it was Li Mu, the Marquis of the deer, who asked to see her. Empress Changsun seemed to have a savior, and hurriedly said: "I have been sitting here for an hour, and I have some backache, and it just so happens that Li Mu is here, let him play a few handfuls for the palace, and call him in." ”

The female officer was ordered to go out, and soon Li Mu came to him. Before he could speak, Empress Changsun asked him to sit down and play mahjong, Li Mu was a little confused, I am here to offer treasures, but not to play mahjong!

Concubine Yin and the others all knew that mahjong was invented by Li Mu, and they were all curious about his card skills as the person who invented mahjong, so they all urged Li Mu to sit down.

"Queen, ladies and gentlemen, the ministers entered the palace today to offer treasures-"

"There is no hurry to offer treasures, and you won't lose them."

"Hurry up and sit down, aren't you afraid of losing?"

The concubines were gossiping, and Li Mu had no choice but to sit down. He glanced at the situation in front of him, and in front of each concubine, there was a pile of copper coins and a few pieces of broken silver. And the position where he was sitting had the least copper money in front of him, and it was obvious that the queen had lost a lot of money today.

Li Mu calculated in his heart.

Mahjong has not been a simple game since its inception. If it's for gambling money, dice, pai gow, which one is not faster than mahjong? As soon as you let go, the winner will be divided. Mahjong differs from other gambling games in that it comes with a special social attribute.

Winning money is not the main purpose in many cases.

Li Mu is now facing this situation, and he takes over the queen's cards. From the queen's point of view, it is naturally better to win. But if he wins money for the queen, then the three concubines will inevitably lose. Although in terms of authority, the queen is much more than the concubine. But he didn't come for Gong Dou, so he really couldn't offend people.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Queen, there is a rule for ministers to gamble, that is, winning or losing is their own. The minister can't gamble with your money, the minister brings his own money. As he spoke, Li Mu grabbed a handful of broken silver from his sleeve, about seven or eight taels. This is when he put his hand into his sleeve, he redeemed it from the system, how can he have the habit of bringing money.

When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she was slightly displeased. In her mind, since Li Mu invented mahjong, he must be a mahjong master. She wanted Li Mu to help her turn over the book, but Li Mu was unwilling, this kid, is it possible that this money has to be dealt with by the palace?

But she is the queen, and her dissatisfaction cannot be shown. didn't say anything, and asked the female official to take her money, Li Mu put his money on the table, and entered the state very quickly, shuffling the cards and playing the cards......

"Zephyr!"

Concubine Yin was overjoyed: "Hu! Happy seniors! It's missing your west wind! ”

"Three Cakes!"

Concubine Yan smiled: "Three cakes in a single hanging!" There are only these three cakes left, and they can all be waited for me! ”

Seven cannons in a row, Li Mu took out a little bit of silver, and his forehead couldn't help sweating. Empress Changsun began to sympathize with Li Mu a little, why is this kid so lucky today, she really sees it next to her, Li Mu plays cards are all loose cards, cards that are not used, but it is a cannon, and it is connected with a cannon, which is really pitiful.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Mu finally pulled out a red one, and just wanted to hit it, Queen Eldest Sun couldn't help but say, "Let's change it." ”

"Huh?"

Empress Changsun said: "Change one." ”

She saw Concubine Yin's card on the left hand side, and she was waiting for this red card.

Li Mu put down the red middle and took out another nine cakes.

"Another one!"

Concubine Yan on the right, Hu is this nine cakes.

"Sister, don't peek at our cards."

"It's no fun to play like this."

The third concubine complained dissatisfied, and the eldest grandson queen had to shut up.

Li Mu gritted his teeth, pulled out another card, closed his eyes and played it!

"Thirty thousand? I'm! 10,000 words! Give money! ”

Concubine Yang on the opposite side laughed, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't bear to look at it, she reminded her twice and didn't dodge, how unlucky it must be!

Li Mu put his hand into his sleeve and exchanged a few taels of silver, cleared the account, pushed the card angrily, and said: "Don't play, don't play, if you continue to play, I will be bankrupt." ”

Concubine Yang, who won the most, said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that the Hou family has a lot of money, and it's only a few dollars." ”

"Money is a small thing, but mentality is a big thing." Li Mu muttered: "How can anyone lose, hey!" ”

The mahjong table was removed, the female official moved up to the chair, and everyone sat down.

Li Mu bowed and saluted: "Queen, all the noble concubines, there is something serious about the ministers entering the palace today. Yesterday, the minister inadvertently invented a new mirror, and it was expected that the queen and the concubines would like it, so they specially brought it over and presented it. ”

"Mirrors?" Concubine Yin smiled: "Isn't a mirror a mirror, do you still need to invent it?" ”

"Sister, don't underestimate it, if it's an ordinary mirror, how can Li Mu be offered as a treasure?" Empress Eldest Sun said: "What kind of mirror, take it up and take a look." ”

"It's just outside the temple."

Empress Changsun glanced at the female official, and the female official turned to go out, and after a while, five palace maids came in with five mirrors.

"Yikes!" Concubine Yin, who was the first to express her doubts, saw the scene reflected in the mirror, immediately got up, snatched the mirror from the palace maid's hand, looked at her clear appearance in the mirror, and exclaimed: "It is really a treasure, it can be so clear...... Is this me? Oops, why are there wrinkles in the corners of your eyes? ”

Concubine Yang listened, and said secretly in her heart, you only know that you have wrinkles, how long has Your Majesty not been to the center of your palace? As for the folds of your face, it's strange that Your Majesty can like it. She also got up and took a mirror, took a look, and her expression stiffened, how could the person in the mirror have fine lines at the corners of her eyes!

What's going on, when I used the bronze mirror, I didn't see it at all!!
