After dinner, Li Mu returned to the studio and finished the bearskin for Li Chongyi. As his skill proficiency increases, the time he has to make a fur is getting shorter and shorter, but it consumes some stamina. Fortunately, the cattle in Chengfu often fall to death inexplicably, and Li Mu's beef jerky has never been missing, throwing two jerkys into his mouth at any time, and the balance between consumption and replenishment is basically maintained.

After finishing the bearskin coat, there is still some time before the time comes. Li Mu called Li Chongyi, gave him the bearskin coat, then found a pen and paper, sat down and wrote a letter to Li Siwen.

I picked up the pen, but I couldn't put it down. He had a lot to say, but it seemed that none of these words could be written on letterhead. Chatting, you have to talk back and forth. You say a word, I say a word, it's interesting to talk about the world like this.

Writing a letter is more like preaching for Li Mu and Li Siwen.

This thing, you have to do this and this. That thing you can't do, what kind of people are good people and what kind of people are bad people. How to make money in the winery, and how to ......

Li Mu didn't want to do this.

He regards Li Siwen as a brother, as an elder brother, and it is normal to think about his younger brother. But he doesn't want to be an older brother who wantonly dictates his brother's life, if Li Siwen listens to him in everything and does what he says, sooner or later he will become an unassertive person.

When doing things, Li Mu hopes that there will be more such people around him. But for his brother, Li Mu would rather be like Nazha did in this matter, even if he knew that something might go wrong, he would let Li Siwen choose by himself. Because only in this way, whether it is right or wrong, he can grow. Standing up when he can't bear the consequences and giving him a cover, this is what the big brother should do.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Mu finally put pen to paper.

[Do a good job, brother will marry you a sister-in-law next year. - Li Mu. 】．

Once you're done, put it in an envelope and coat it with fire paint. found the tiger fur that had been made for Li Siwen a long time ago, and put the letter in the inner pocket of his clothes.

Li Siwen's tiger skin fur, although not as good as the white tiger skin on Li Mu's body, is also a precious fur that is not far behind. Among the furs brought by Zhangjiazhai, there is only one tiger skin.

Li Mu did not make it look like a 'mink', but imitated the Turkic Hu style and made a fur for him. In the Western Regions, there is an unwritten rule. Only the leaders of large tribes with tens of thousands of people are worthy of tiger skins. If the tribal leader, who only has 3,500 people, dares to wear a tiger skin, it is equivalent to provoking, and he will be attacked by the nearby tribes. Of course, if the strength is enough and you can win more with less, you are also qualified to wear tiger skin. On the grasslands and deserts, only strength counts.

Li Mu made this tiger fur for Li Siwen, which is a kind of expectation for him. The location of Dingxiang is the border of the Tang Dynasty, and after the establishment of Zhichong Mansion, it will surely become an important military town nearby. Li Mu hopes that Li Siwen can take on the heavy responsibility, be able to suppress the Hu people on the grassland, and be worthy of wearing this tiger fur.

As for Li Ji's side, he doesn't care. What to do and what not to do, Li Ji doesn't need him to worry about it. Moreover, Li Ji went out of the town and merged with the state, and there were soldiers and horses under his command. In addition to the disgraceful reason for leaving Chang'an, he actually didn't wronged him much. Defending one side is not something that any general can do. Some generals can fight, but they are not necessarily good at management. A typical example is Cheng Biting Jin, who can attack, but is not good at defending. The counter-example is Li Daliang, Li Daliang is good at defending but not attacking. They are all famous generals, but none of them can defend one side.

Like Li Ji, a person who can attack and defend well and understand the people's livelihood can defend one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven. If there was no Nazha matter, Li Shimin would still arrange for Li Ji to go to the state, but because of this incident, the nature was slightly different.

Thinking of Li Ji's father and son, Li Mu's mood was a little depressed again. Shaking his head, he didn't think about it and went back to the backyard.

When I entered the house, the candles were still on. Bai Qiaoqiao was reading a Datang Daily, and she could now recognize a lot of words. Seeing Li Mu coming in, he put the newspaper next to him, raised his hand to his lips and 'shh ”

Li Mu smiled speechlessly and bitterly, what kind of concubine is this, how can it be like raising a daughter. He took off his clothes lightly, flipped over from Li Zhien like a big horse monkey, and slowly lay down next to the place where Bai Qiaoqiao let go.

"You forgot to blow out the candles...... Bai Qiaoqiao wanted to blow out the candles, but Li Mu hugged him back, and said, "Lady, it's not my husband, I blame you." Now we are not in Mayi, and we have to think about what to eat. Now we have the money, and you see it. Our family's money can't be kept, if you don't spend it, it's gone. Instead of giving flowers to others and being snatched away by His Majesty, it is better for us to spend them ourselves, and we still feel comfortable in our hearts. How much is a candle worth, and dare to work my lady to blow it out of the warm bed? Yawn! Whatever it is, just light it! ”

Seeing Li Mu's nouveau riche appearance, Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, but he didn't mean to resist him. Li Mu's bad hand moved, and what he wanted to do was obvious. Bai Qiaoqiao ignored him at first, and when Li Mu's hand went down her waist and again, Bai Qiaoqiao leaned into Li Mu's ear and said a word with a red face.

Li Mu's expression froze instantly, and he pulled out his hand stupidly, and said, "Why are you here again...... I remember it seems like it's just been a few days, huh? ”

Bai Qiaoqiao said resentfully: "I hope it doesn't come."

"Hey......" Li Mu hurriedly hugged Bai Qiaoqiao into his arms and said, "Sooner or later, there will be that day, haven't you heard that sentence?" There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. As long as you husband and me, work harder. I still don't believe it, I have made Zhenguan plow, but a child can't make it? ”

Bai Qiaoqiao's face turned even redder, and she whispered: "Oh, don't say it, I'm panicked." ”

"What's there to be ashamed of?" Li Mu said louder and said, "I know what's going on, madam, giving birth to a child is like composing poetry." What about overnight? It's often not a good verse. Only by brewing, brewing, brewing, and then brewing, holding it for a longer time, can it be good to make a poem. You watch, when you get pregnant, maybe...... Two at once? ”

Bai Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly: "There is no one, and there are still two?" ”

"At least two! Dragon and phoenix fetuse! Li Mu pretended to pinch his fingers and said, "I guarantee that it is two, I have calculated it." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao was amused by him and said, "Do you still know how to tell hexagrams?" ”

"You don't know this, Yuan Tiangang's hexagram technique is in the same vein as me."

"I won't tell you." Bai Qiaoqiao knew Li Mu's temperament, if he started gossiping, he could go from now to tomorrow morning. She didn't have anything to do, but she knew that Li Mu must have something to do, and she didn't want him to sleep too late.

Seeing Li Mu's somewhat stupid appearance, Bai Qiaoqiao bit his lip and said, "Husband, why don't you ...... You took Zhi'en? ”

"Didn't you say it all, wait until next year."

"Then ......" Bai Qiaoqiao seemed to have plucked up her courage, and said, "Husband, why don't you take Mrs. Peony away." ”

"......" Li Mu stiffened, as if he had been immobilized, and he didn't know what to do at all. During the day, I heard Wang Ou say that Qiaoqiao knew everything, and he didn't take it seriously, who would have thought that she really knew everything.

Li Mu swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Husband, madam...... Actually, Mrs. Peony and I, the two of us, I ......"

Bai Qiaoqiao saw that Li Mu was so nervous, and said: "I know everything, I also know that although Fujun and Mrs. Peony have each other in their hearts, nothing has happened yet." ”

Li Muqi said: "How do you know? Just rest assured of me? ”

Bai Qiaoqiao smiled, a trace of cunning crossed her eyes, and said: "Zhien, this girl mutters in my ear every day, saying that you have the smell of Mrs. Peony, you must have met again, and I am worried that it will be bad." Actually, I smelled it too, but I didn't say it. ”

Li Mu's heart was a little unhappy, and said, "Madame is not jealous at all?" I'm a little sad...... Madame doesn't seem to care about me. ”

"How can you not care...... Bai Qiaoqiao held Li Mu's face, looked at him stupidly, and said: "The husband is Qiaoqiao's heaven, how can Qiaoqiao not care." It's just that I just figured it out and didn't think there was any need to ask. ”

Li Mu was completely stunned and said, "Why? ”

"Because I know that in my husband's heart, no one can compare to me. What else do I have to worry about? My husband has never touched Zhi'en, nor Mrs. Peony, isn't it also for me? I want to wait until I'm pregnant...... Am I right? ”

Li Mu still wanted to admit it, and said, "Oh, is this kind of thing...... Go with the flow, I'm not a hungry ghost? Right? ”

"I know my husband's intentions." Bai Qiaoqiao snuggled in Li Mu's arms again, and said, "But my mind, my husband may not know." ”

"Hmm......" Li Mu nodded and said, "I thought I knew about it just now, but after hearing what you said, I realized that my stupidity was shrewd, and now I can't guess." ”

Bai Qiaoqiao also smiled and said, "Zhien always says I'm stupid, and you think I'm stupid...... But I never felt stupid, did I? Zhi'en always pleaded with me, telling me to guard against this, guard against that...... She didn't understand, if her husband's heart changed, who would be useful to prevent? As long as my husband's mind is inconvenient, do I need to guard against anyone? ”

"That's right......" Li Mu frowned slightly, and said, "However, there are other women in my heart, why aren't you jealous?" ”

"What's so jealous about this?" Bai Qiaoqiao seemed to be unable to understand what Li Mu meant, and said: "Husband, I can't be the only woman, sooner or later, I will have to take a concubine." Since it's a matter of time or time, what's the difference for me? Zhien and I have a similar temper, so we can be companions when we live together, isn't it? As for Mrs. Peony...... I think that if she can attract her husband, she must have the charm that I and Zhien don't have, as long as my husband likes it, I don't want to compare with her, and I don't think Mrs. Peony will enter our house. ”
