Chapter 171: A street child in the market
Even if Li Mu had expected it, the newspaper was doubled, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people. The newspaper seller seemed to have become a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten, and as long as one person found out, a group of people gathered around, staring at each other with red eyes, and a few timid people were almost scared to pee their pants.
When Li Mu finished lunch and took Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu out of the house, I saw that the streets of Chang'an City were full of people, three or three and two together to study and scrutinize, guessing puzzles for those who knew how to read, and those who didn't know how to read according to the map, some people found clues but couldn't solve them, so they had to gather a few people to study together, and make an appointment to share the profits equally......
Li Mu was very happy to see such a 'prosperous' scene, he didn't expect marketing to be so successful, but unfortunately now there are only two fools around him, and no one appreciates this talent...... It would be nice if Wang Ou was around, she would definitely be able to say what she liked to hear.
But it doesn't matter, the second general is still young, so he can guide it.
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "Two virtuous brothers, seeing such a scene, I don't know how the two of you feel in your hearts?" ”
Li Chongyi said: "Boss, what are you asking?" ”
“……”
Li Mu glanced at the big man, this guy had to talk to death, and he didn't know if it was intentional. Li Mu turned his head and looked at Dugu Jiu with a smile, and said, "Xiao Jiu, do you know what the eldest brother is asking, tell me, am I very powerful, eldest brother?" ”
"Big brother." Dugu Jiu's face was full of worry, and he said: "The eldest brother has sent a total of 1,000 yuan, but the people of Chang'an, those who participate in it, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people." How pitiful it would be if they wasted all their efforts and ended up not getting the money. I saw that there are still many elderly people and children, and it is freezing on this day, what if they get caught again. Big brother, since you want to scatter your wealth, why don't you just put a table in the West Market or the East Market, and let the people line up to receive the money, why tease people like this? ”
“……”
Li Mu almost didn't suffocate himself to death with a mouthful of old blood, he was really unladylike, was he blind? How can you accept these two little brothers with dead heads, and sooner or later they will be angry to death!
Li Mu closed himself, pursed his lips and did not speak. Seeing Li Mu like this, Dugu Jiu also knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to speak out, for a long time, Li Chongyi seemed to react, and said to Dugu Jiu: "Fool, do you really want to pay money when you are the eldest brother?" He is just letting the people know about Jingdongji. You're so stupid to take it seriously. ”
Dugu Jiu suddenly said: "Oh...... I see. Big brother is really bad! ”
"Fart!" Li Mu was so angry that his head was hot, and he scolded: "What am I bad about? My money is also broken? Do you want me to open the treasury and let people take it as they please? Give all the money you pay for eating lamb shanks every day to the people, and you will be happy?! Bastard! ”
After scolding, he was particularly angry, and added another sentence: "Punish the two of you, you are not allowed to eat lamb shank for three days!" ”
"Huh?"
The faces of the two of them suddenly turned miserable, the chef of the Hou Mansion, roasting the leg of lamb is a must. Li Chongyi's favorite is roast lamb leg, he has to eat one every day, Dugu Jiu came to Zhuluhou Mansion for a few days, and he also fell in love with this delicacy, don't look at his small size, but the amount of food is not small at all. Li Chongyi can eat a leg of mutton, and he can also eat one. If you don't eat for a day, you feel like you're missing something.
Li Mu immediately punished them for not eating lamb legs for three days, and both of them immediately wilted. They glanced at each other and whispered complaints to each other.
Li Mu was so angry that he raised his horsewhip and dismounted, and sped up to Jingdongji.
At the entrance of Jingdong set, a table was set up. At this time, it was cold, and I got a brazier next to it. Bai Hao'er sat behind the case, dealing with the person who 'claimed the prize'. Ergou hugged his shoulders and waited beside him, and there were a few idlers next to him, who were responsible for driving away those who were fishing in troubled waters.
There was work in the eyes of the second dog, although he was serving Bai Hao'er, his eyes were also looking around from time to time, Li Mu came from afar, he was the first to find it, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Master Hou!" Master Hou! Said hello twice, and said to Bai Nao'er and the people waiting next to him, and after speaking, the people had already run over and led the horse for Li Mu.
Finally seeing a person with vision, Li Mu was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Ergou, I haven't seen you for a few days, what's going on with the paparazzi?" ”
"With the blessing of the Hou Ye, more than a dozen people have been recruited. I went to the house the day before yesterday and met Mrs. Zhien. I also received the reward of Mrs. Zhi'en, and now the brothers are full of energy and ready to do a great job. ”
"It's easy to say, reward money, Ben Hou is never stingy. Everyone says that the rich are unkind. Ben Hou is not like this, you see this time, Ben Hou scattered thousands of wealth, the people of Chang'an, how happy. How's it going, has anyone solved the puzzle and come to claim the reward? ”
Ergou grinned and said, "The riddle that Master Hou came up with, a few people can guess it." After waiting for a morning, it was just one person, the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, found a ticket in a Gala alley, and received ten yuan to go. The rest, all fishing in troubled waters, were all beaten away. The more Ergou spoke, the more angry he became, and scolded: "These bastards, Master Hou took money out to scatter money, and they dared to deceive, they were really blind to their own eyes." Dare to fool Hou Ye's money, first pass my second dog! ”
"Well done! Xiao Jiu'er, reward! ”
"Huh!" Dugu Jiu answered, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, about seven or eight dollars, and threw it to Ergou. Ergou caught it steadily and smiled even more happily. trotted over and moved over a dismount pedal, letting Li Mu step on the dismount. Originally, he was going to lie on the ground and act as a dismount, but the last time he did this, Li Mu kicked it, remembered it for a long time, and prepared a stool early.
Li Mu saw the figure in a light green official uniform behind the case, and was happy, and said, "Zhangren, are you busy?" ”
"Oh, son-in-law." Bai Hao'er hurriedly handed over the matter at hand to the little officials around him and greeted him. Bai Lao'er is now different from what it used to be, since he became an official, he seems to have made a break with his past self. Everything went to the other extreme, it turned out that he was a lower riba man, and now he wants to make himself a spring and snow, if it weren't for his appearance, just look at his style, and think he was a royal history! ‘
The official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were purple above the third grade, dark crimson in the fourth grade, light crimson in the fifth grade, dark green in the sixth grade, light green in the seventh grade, dark blue in the eighth grade, and light green in the ninth grade. There are embroidery patterns for more than seven grades, and there are no embroidery patterns for eight and nine grades. Bai Hao'er is a seven-pin, and there is just an inch of flowers. Showing his unique identity, he is an official!
He is a slammer by nature, and he can hold out his fingerprints with a copper coin, but he can give up the money for official uniforms. Others do two sets of washing, he did eight sets in one go, the first few days of sleep without taking off clothes, now a little normal, but also go to the pit to wear official uniforms, in the Jingdong set near the people, can always see a light green figure swaying, the neighborhood no one knows that he is an official.
Li Mu frowned at him, shivered from the cold, and said, "Zhangren, Mrs. Peony told me the day before yesterday that the first batch of furs made by her craftsmen there gave you two pieces of this city order, why don't you wear them." Fur is not cheap, dozens of pieces...... Ah, aren't you selling it? ”
"How can you!" Bai Hao'er hurriedly said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I am an official now, how can I do such a shameful thing." I keep it at home, and I wear it at night when I go to bed. On duty during the day, you have to wear official uniforms. ”
Bai Hao'er said it rightly, Li Mu listened, but he was helpless. Wear ...... when you sleep It's really creative. This kind of thing can be imagined in vain. Li Mu could probably guess his thoughts, the official uniform was his life, and it was impossible for him not to wear it. But the fur is very expensive and can't be sold, so I don't have time to wear it, so I have to wear it at night.
It's so alive!
As he was talking, the white chord Wang came over with a basket on his shoulder. She was surrounded by several children, who did not know whose family they belonged to. It's already so cold, but it's very thinly dressed. Li Mu glanced at it and saw that there were a few children, who had no shoes to wear, and stepped on the ground barefoot. The soles of the feet have been worn out into thick calluses, and it seems that there is no pain anymore.
Several children followed behind Wang, about a step away, but they didn't dare to get closer. When Wang saw them, he showed a look of disgust, but he didn't say anything. Just quickened the pace, and a few helpers saw it and walked over to scare the children and drive them away. But they refused to leave, three or five meters away, staring at the basket on Wang's arm.
Li Mu frowned.
What Wang is wearing is a fur coat made by Wang Ou's craftsmen, lambskin, dense fluff, Wang is short and fat, and he wears a nouveau riche posture. She walked over and put the basket on the table, this was the lunch made for Bai Nao'er and the others. Bai Hao'er is very conscientious now, and when he is on duty, he will never go home to eat, and he also suffers a few helpers under him, obviously only a few steps, but he can't go into the house to eat hot, he can only eat at the door of this market.
Because the Wang family had treated Qiaoqiao harshly, they had always been afraid of Li Mu and Qiaoqiao. But then I found out that Qiaoqiao did not mean to retaliate against her, but instead maintained her son Bai Gensheng a lot, thinking of the love of sister and brother, and gradually let down her guard, and occasionally when Qiaoqiao came to visit Bai Hao'er, she was also flattering in every way. Seeing Li Mu was even more enthusiastic than meeting his father. It's just that Li Mu has always been salty and indifferent to him, she is Qiaoqiao's stepmother, and it stands to reason that she should be called a mother-in-law or mother-in-law, but Li Mu has always called her Wang, a difference in title, which also shows a little meaning. Qiaoqiao is kind-hearted and can ignore her harshness. But Li Mu remembered in his heart that if he didn't pursue it, it didn't mean that he had forgotten.
Because of the problem of this title, Wang has been trembling. Li Mu doesn't care about her, sometimes, it makes people feel a little afraid, which is not a bad thing.
