Chapter 54: Thoughts
Seeing Li Mu reprimanding Li Tai, Li Shimin did not react. As soon as Li Mu had entered the Li clan, and he was also the 'nephew' he personally admitted, between the brothers, he reprimanded Li Tai for two sentences, which was nothing in Li Shimin's eyes. And what Li Mu said, Li Shimin also thinks is right.
Li Mu kept sending Li Shimin and the others to Fangmen, only then did he know that Li Shimin did not come alone, and his entourage was waiting near Fangmen. There are not many people, only eight people. These eight people, all of them are brave men, no need to guess, they must all be masters.
Li Mumu sent Li Shimin to walk away, and then turned around and returned to the mansion.
"Master!"
As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard Li Zhien's excited voice. Since this little girl was 'straightened', she has become more and more lively and presumptuous. Every day when Li Mu came back, as long as she found out, she would 'run' over, jump into his arms, and then hang on him like a koala.
Although Li Mu felt that it was inappropriate, he did not resist in his heart. It's like he went to a comic con with his friends in later life, although he is not a two-dimensional deep fat house, but when he sees Kawaii's little Lori, he also likes it just as much.
"Okay, why is this ...... How bad it is for outsiders to see. ”
Li Mu patted Li Zhien on the back and put her down. Suddenly, he seemed to understand why Li Zhien came to such a scene every day, probably she wanted to show off her identity to other slaves, after all, everyone was subordinate before, and she has now become the actual second lady in the house, but she is not a real lady, just a concubine. How do concubines show their status? There is only the word 'favor', and she has to hug it in front of other slaves every day, isn't it just to show that she is being favored.
This is a careful thought......
Li Mu shook his head, not too tired.
Li Mu in his previous life, because of work needs, it is also a personal hobby, he has read a lot, villain books, when he is commuting and driving, he often listens to radio commentary, and later there is an audio version on the Internet, he has heard a lot. Basically, the protagonists involved in crossing are all groups of wives and concubines. Very few male protagonists will be monogamous until the end of the book, he can understand this setting, after all, in modern society, who writes rich people?
It's all written about dicks, and most of them don't have girlfriends. When I saw that I couldn't mix one of my girlfriends, but Lao Wang next door was a tender model for three days, I inevitably had a kind of revenge psychology in my heart, don't let Lao Tzu cross, wait for Lao Tzu to cross, let the others go first, at least three wives and four concubines. As a member of Diaosi, Li Mu used to think like this.
But when Li Mu really crossed over, although he also had this idea in his head, he found that he didn't want to do it so much. Li Mu also thought about this problem when he was rubbing his skills in the studio, and came to the conclusion that he probably might be a little mentally clean.
With his current identity, he can live a life like Cui Yuyan. And he went to the Ministry of Industry and passed by the West Market, saw a good slave maid, bought it home and played casually, no one would say anything about him because of this, thinking that in this era, slaves were originally livestock. A woman without status and status, no one cares at all. Among the nobles, it is a noble act to give a concubine, and the righteousness of a friend is like a thing, a friend likes it, just take it, what is it?
But Li Mu couldn't accept this kind of value, he tried to think about it, but found that he couldn't be so casual. A woman, no matter how beautiful she is, she will not be able to get into her brain. He still has to like it, it's not enough to just like it, he still has to get along, he has to get along, he thinks of the next step.
He is like this to Bai Qiaoqiao, and he is also to Li Zhien. When he bought Li Zhien, he was really just moved by compassion at that time, and he didn't want anything to happen to this servant. This is just like the four maids of Meilan Zhuju that he brought back from the Teaching Division, they are all very good-looking, but he has no intention of wanting to be included in the room. Li Zhien's circumstances are different, in fact, they are all the result of her own efforts.
If she hadn't befriended Bai Qiaoqiao and made her happy, would Bai Qiaoqiao help her speak? Will she be put on the list of 'allies'?
If she can't write and calculate, will Li Mu use her to manage the accounts and write the manuscript?
If she didn't handle the affairs of the Zhulu Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, could she be a housekeeper and go down alone?
In fact, it is still the difference between people, Li Zhien has the ability to surpass other maids, so he will really enter Li Mu's eyes. But so far, Li Mu still hasn't really taken her in, except for the problem of age, Li Mu still thinks about it, and doesn't want to make Bai Qiaoqiao sad.
If she didn't get pregnant, and Lee Ji-eun got pregnant first. Regardless of whether the age is suitable for having children and other issues, how sad will Bai Qiaoqiao be in her heart? In this era when mothers are more precious than children, Li Mu feels that he can't deal with Bai Qiaoqiao like this.
The two of them held hands and were about to go back to the backyard, and seeing that it was about to be time to finish eating, Li Zhien came to him and asked him what to eat at night. Passing by the gatehouse, Zhao Youcai came out tremblingly, holding the gold leaf left to him by Li Tai in his hand, and said: "Master Hou, this is left by His Royal Highness King Yue, you see how to deal with it." ”
"Since it's for you, keep it for yourself." Li Mu suddenly remembered Li Shimin's instructions and said, "Old Zhao, Your Majesty asked me to reward you, what do you need to say." ”
Zhao Youcai hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't reward the villain." If the villain can stay in the Hou Mansion, he is already content. ”
"There is no need to say anything about loyalty, since Your Majesty said that I would reward you, I will naturally obey Your Majesty's will...... You eat and live in the Hou Mansion, and it's useless to have more money. In this way, I'll write a post, tomorrow you take it to the Teaching Workshop Division, and return your status as a good citizen, and you won't be a slave in the future, how about it? ”
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Zhao Youcai knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mu. In this era, being confiscated into a pariah, unless the master is gracious, he will be a pariax for the rest of his life. If it's just for a lifetime, it's okay to say, in case you leave a descendant, the descendant is also a lowly person. Li Mu gave him this reward, which was more useful than giving him a hundred yuan.
Zhao Youcai kowtowed a few times, all of them hard, his forehead was bruised, and when he raised his head, he found that Li Mu had left at some point. Zhao Youcai rubbed his head, got up, and thought to himself, he thought that he would be a slave for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be restored to his status as a good citizen. I was grateful to Li Mu in my heart, but when I thought of my other identity, I couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.
The bad handsome said that the bad people were so powerful, known as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but he didn't let him say that when he was in prison, he said that he would come to the rescue, and he didn't wait for the news. However, this young Hou Ye has helped him several times, but now he is betraying him, Zhao Youcai felt guilty and returned to his concierge in a daze.
Back House!
What to eat at night has been a problem since ancient times. Although there is no shortage of food and drink in the Zhulu Hou Mansion, there are too few types of dishes in the Tang Dynasty. The seasoning is not complete, it is those few dishes over and over, and after eating for a long time, the gods are also tired.
Li Chongyi is not tired, Hou Fu kills a sheep every day, he can eat half of it himself, he has such a good appetite every day, and he has never said that he is tired. Li Mu can't do it, he can eat for one day, two days, or ten days, but if he wants to eat mutton for a month, he really can't eat it, and for three days in a row, his mouth and burps are all smelly.
Li Mu decided to change his taste and eat dumplings today.
Dumplings, according to legend, was created by the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, at the beginning, the bread was herbs, with bread, swallowed, simply put, it is a 'noodle capsule'.
Later, people replaced the herbs with wild vegetables, and when it came to the Three Kingdoms, it was called Crescent Moon.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties were influenced by Hu Feng and were not very particular about eating. I like to eat 'crescent moon chaos' with dough cakes, there are soups, wontons, and dough cakes, and swallow them with a slurp, and until now, this way of eating is still very popular in some places, and risotto, soup cakes, etc., are all influenced by this.
The people of the Tang Dynasty ate dumplings, which was similar to that of later generations. I boiled it in water, fished it out and ate it individually. It's just that the shape is eclectic, not only crescent-shaped, but also round, triangular, and all shapes. But without dipping, there is already sauce and vinegar, but no soy sauce......
There is no soy sauce for eating dumplings...... It's soulless.
But it can't be helped, there's really nothing to eat, and the soul doesn't matter anymore. In this era, there was no white face of later generations, and the color of the face was yellow, which looked a little strange in Li Mu. But there is still no difference in eating, Li Mu made noodles by himself, and there were only three of them in the back house, and they couldn't eat much, and it was not difficult to wrap them.
Among the three, except for Li Mu, Bai Qiaoqiao can make dumplings, and Li Zhien can't make dumplings, but he also worked hard to learn. But Li Mu suspected that this girl was deliberately pretending, otherwise how could she do everything else, but when it comes to cooking, she can't learn to eat, but she can eat, and the amount of food is not small, and it is not much worse than Li Mu.
Bai Qiaoqiao wrapped a dumpling and put it next to her, suddenly sighed, and said, "Husband, after Sister Tianai left, I suddenly felt that this house was a lot empty. Although I have only been gone for two days, I already miss her a little. ”
Li Zhien pricked up his ears, anxious, thinking about why his wife had made a mistake again, what did she think, and she had to leave. In the past two days, she has been a housekeeper, and she is the second lady in this house, Li Mu is still used to her, not to mention how beautiful she is, but she doesn't want one more person to share her favor.
Bai Qiaoqiao didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Li Mu felt angry, and said with a drooping face: "Miss her? You want to, I don't want to. ”
"What's the matter, are you still angry?"
"Of course I'm angry!" Li Mu threw down the dumpling skin in his hand and said: "I'm good enough for her, not only help, but also give her ideas, and ask yourself if there is anything to offend her, she is good, she will turn her face when she says it, and she doesn't listen to the explanation, I sent her out of the city for ten miles, and she didn't say a word to me, so angry that I ...... If she hadn't saved my life, I wouldn't have bothered her! ”
