"Big brother, we're coming!"

The voice came from far to near, it was Li Siwen and Dugu Jiu, Li Mu smiled bitterly, Dugu Jiu just found it, Li Siwen followed. will get married tomorrow, and there may be many things going on today-oh, Li Mu understands, this kid must have hid.

"Wow!" When Li Siwen saw the elephant, his eyes almost popped out, and he exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's really so big!" Big brother, can you give me two, I'll bring them when I go back to Dingxiang-"

"Don't even think about it, I have another use." Li Mu directly cut off his thoughts and asked, "How do you two know that I am here?" ”

"Ask! Don't you have a mouth? Li Siwen looked at Li Mu strangely, as if he didn't understand why he would ask such a question. There is really nothing wrong with this answer, Li Mu smiled bitterly, and said: "I just want to be quiet for two days, so I don't tell you, alas...... Let's go, let's go back to the city together. ”

"Back, back?" Li Siwen said dumbfounded: "We just came, what are we going back to, we will only get married tomorrow, and we should not get drunk tonight!" After a pause, Li Siwen asked again: "By the way, big brother, I still have something to ask." Will you get married tomorrow or not? What do you want to do, you have to reveal it, or let's get it together, there are many people, my house is also big, in the east, I am in the west, no one will delay, there are many people and it is lively-" Li Siwen looked at Li Zhien, who was blushing, and said, "Isn't it, sister-in-law!" ”

"I, I, I listen to my husband."

"Big brother?"

"Don't worry about snacks, I'll arrange freely, and do my own things first. I asked, isn't the woman coming to "shop the room" today, not waiting at home, what are you doing here? ”

The day before getting married, the woman sent a senior woman to the man's house to "shop the room" to show the dowry that the woman accompanied. This is very necessary, but not without exceptions. This exception refers to the "five surnamed women". Zheng, Lu, Wang, Cui, Li, five women with the surname Qiwang, believe that their families are noble, and they don't even pay attention to the royal family. The scholars of the Tang Dynasty were proud to be able to marry these five surnamed women. Naturally, there is no need to show any dowry, but if it is not a woman with five surnames, then you must pay attention to it when you get married, in order to live more comfortably after marrying and not be angry with your mother-in-law, you must show the strength of your mother's family when you "shop the house", so as not to be underestimated.

"Oh, don't say it!" Li Siwen shouted: "Big brother, I escaped!" I don't know how scary that woman is, she, she makes me ......" Li Siwen blushed and couldn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Li Mu became more and more curious, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oops!" Li Siwen glanced at the female dependents behind Li Mu, blushed and pulled him aside, leaned into his ear and whispered, "She asked me to take it out...... I also arranged a few maids to say that they wanted to try, how can I try it in broad daylight? I don't run, what are you waiting for! ”

Li Mu laughed when he heard it, he was strange just now, in fact, according to the family of the two families, they are both national princes, and they are the right people, but in fact, it does not involve the daughter-in-law who will be angry when they pass the door. The shop is dispensable, but since the Qin family has done it, it must be more than just for the shop, and sure enough, Li Mu guessed that people are thinking about their daughter, and they want to see if this son-in-law is qualified!

This is a new thing, and it is the first time Li Mu has encountered it. In fact, Li Mu doesn't know much about the rules of marriage. When he and Bai Qiaoqiao got married, they just came to Chang'an, and their eyes were black, and he and Bai Qiaoqiao didn't have any backgrounds, and there weren't so many rules. It's a good thing to think about it now, but if there are too many rules, he may not be able to stand it.

"Big brother, be quiet, save me some face!" Li Siwen shouted in a low voice, Li Muqiang held back his laughter, looked at Dugu Jiu, and said, "How is the ring match, is it decided to be the first?" ”

"It's decided, I'm defeated, I'm number one."

The ring competition was originally expected to be an eight-day process, from the first to the eighth day of the new year, but a lot of people came later, and Dugu Jiu was also added, and the wheel battle has been fought until today. I didn't expect to finally decide on a "first", and I was killed by Dugu Jiu, so it seems that I have been fighting for half a month, just to find a sparring partner for Dugu Jiu.

Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "This is not good, it will cause criticism." ”

Dugu Jiu said proudly: "It is clear which is strong and which is weak, there is no criticism, if anyone is not satisfied, you can challenge me, and you can wait for you at any time!" ”

Li Siwen snorted and said, "It's just that the big man is not boasting, if the big man is here, he will definitely not be his opponent." His big axe, just hit it! ”

"He can't fight."

"I said if he hits, it's a hit!"

"He can't fight!"

Li Siwen said angrily: "I said that if he hits, just touch it, and he can be killed!" ”

"He can't hit me! We've both fought! ”

Li Siwen rolled his eyes angrily: "I'm too lazy to tell - big brother, why are you going back to the city?" Look at the lanterns? There's nothing to see, let's barbecue and drink some bars, I haven't eaten at noon, I'm hungry! ”

Li Mu said deliberately: "Pingkangfang has an Oiran pre-selection tonight, and Miss Jin Chen from Lichun Courtyard also participated, I thought about taking a look, since I want to drink, then let's not go, let's make a fire and barbecue!" ”

"Ahh Li Siwen patted his head and said, "How did you forget this stubble!" No, no, no! Big brother, you can eat barbecue at any time, you can only choose an oiran once a year, I don't have anything, the main thing is that I can't delay my brother's business! Let's go, it's too late! As he spoke, he pulled Li Mu back, and everyone had to follow.

Dugu Jiu said coldly: "Lust is smoking! ”

"! I'll just take a look, and I don't think about anything! Everyone is a man, what are you pretending to be, don't you like women, you like men? ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Dugu Jiu is a person who practices martial arts, and his six senses are sensitive, he obviously felt that when Li Siwen said this, at least two eyes fell on his back, there were six people here, except for him and Li Siwen, that is, Li Mu and his three women, that is, among these four people, at least two people noticed his abnormality.

Dugu Jiu didn't have the courage to look back, which two people it was, he was afraid that one of them was Li Mu, so he would no longer be able to face Li Mu.

"Whoever likes men, I already have someone I like!"

In a hurry, he blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, Dugu Jiu instantly regretted it.

It's easy to lie, but how can this lie come true! There is no such person at all, if Li Mu asks, who will he go to?

Sure enough, hearing this, Li Mu immediately asked, "Which young lady has such good luck to make my brother take a fancy to it?" ”

"Big brother, I'm ...... It's just unrequited love, don't ask, I, I don't want to say. Dugu Jiu ended the topic a little stiffly, crossed Li Siwen, and walked at the forefront with a sword.

Li Siwen took a step behind, side by side with Li Mu, and whispered: "Big brother, I can't guess?" ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Who hasn't ordered his own little secret, but the woman who can make Ah Jiu fall in love must also be outstanding-but he is so difficult to speak, I'm afraid it's not a small family, hmm......" Li Mu thought for a while, suddenly had a little eyebrows, and said: "Isn't it a woman with five surnames?" This kid knows that I don't have a good deal with the five surnames and Qiwang, so why don't you say it to me? ”

"Huh!" Li Siwen nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it must be like this." is not only a woman with five surnames, but also one of the three families of Zheng, Lu, and Cui! The more Li Siwen thought about it, the more he felt that he was on the right path, and shouted: "Ah Jiu, relax, the eldest brother is not a stingy person, even if he falls in love with the right daughter and marries her, we will win!" ”

Dugu Jiu's voice floated over coldly: "It's not like this at all, if you talk nonsense, I'll tear my mouth!" ”

Li Siwen immediately wilted, and muttered, "Aren't I concerned...... Am I right when I'm so angry? Oh, I see! Li Siwen looked at Li Mu and said, "Big brother, it's not the right reason, I think it's wrong." What he likes is a woman with five surnames, a woman with five surnames, and the family is high! Although Dugu Valve's strength in Longyou is not small, he definitely can't get into the eyes of the five surnamed Gate Valve, and the daughter of Changfang is unwilling to marry him! That's why he's bothered, right? ”

"Really?" Li Mu looked back at Wang Ou and said with a smile: "The daughter of the fifth surnamed Changfang, her eyes are so high?" ”

"Of course! Our Majesty is not powerful, wasn't that back then-" Li Siwen was about to run the train with his mouth full, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Ou and quickly closed his mouth. As Li Mu's brother, he naturally knew about Wang Ou, but he talked to Li Mu nine times out of ten times, but he was not brainy, and he was still a talker, and he didn't have a door on his mouth, but fortunately he stopped the car in time this time.

Li Mu knocked him on the back of the head and said, "Next time I am disrespectful in front of my sister-in-law, I will beat him." ”

Li Siwen hurriedly smiled, turned to Wang Ou and said: "Sister-in-law, don't blame, know that you are wrong, know that you are wrong, ......know that you are wrong, and then say to Bai Qiaoqiao: "Sister-in-law, don't be strange!" ”

The previous sentence is to apologize to Wang Ou, and the latter sentence is to apologize to Bai Qiaoqiao for calling Wang Ou's sister-in-law, in fact, in Li Siwen's heart, there is only one sister-in-law, that is, Bai Qiaoqiao. After all, it was Dingxiang's old acquaintance, and he also witnessed the relationship between Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao.

And people like Li Zhien and Wang Ou, he actually doesn't recognize them. But after all, she is Li Mu's woman, and if she doesn't call her sister-in-law, she can't call her anything else, so she has this one.

Wang Ou is a smart person and naturally understands. She will not bother with Li Siwen, because she has already investigated the relationship between Li Siwen and Li Mu. Li Siwen is both a brother and a benefactor to Li Mu. Without Li Siwen's help, Li Muxing might not be able to return home, and even if he returned home, he would not have a chance to come to Chang'an to make a difference, and everything that followed would be gone.

If there was no relationship with Li Siwen, Li Ji would not have recognized Li Mu, his godson. Even if Li Mu gets the jade seal, this credit is not necessarily his.

Of course, Li Mu also gave the Li father and son enough returns, but if there is no cause, how can there be any effect, and the love and righteousness must be kept in mind. Wang Ou knows Li Mu's personality and knows her identity, so it is impossible for her to conflict with Li Siwen.

Bai Qiaoqiao was a little slow to react, she didn't even understand what Li Siwen meant to her, but she didn't ask, because Li Mu was next to her, if it was an important matter, Li Mu would mention it, and if he didn't mention it, it would mean that it wasn't an important matter, so it didn't matter.

When he moved, Li Mu also brought the "RV" he built with a lot of money, which was more than enough for four people. Li Mu looked at the carriage of this car and had a plan in his heart.

……

The Oiran election in Pingkangfang began with the former Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui was a tyrant with a bad reputation in history, but he was not useless, on the contrary, he was a very smart, thoughtful, and playful person.

It is said that he personally set the rules for choosing an oiran.

The entire Oiran selection process is divided into three days. It happens to be the third day of the curfew during the Shangyuan Festival holiday, so as to ensure that more people can participate. And the rules of selection are also very simple, on the fourteenth day of the first month, before dusk, Pingkangfang is not allowed outsiders to enter. The whole day is preparation time, and at dusk, the door of the workshop is opened, and everyone who enters the workshop will receive a "flying flower order", that is, a ballot. At the door of each green building in the workshop, there will be stage performances, and if you see it well, you will throw this "flying flower order" into the box next to the stage, take the top six, and enter the next day's competition.

On the first day, the comparison was singing and dancing, each of them was about the same, and the main reason for the score was to see whether the Oiran was beautiful, and the comparison was "color". The competition on the second day showed much more effort, and the comparison was a unique job, and the ability to look at the house, that is, "art". The rules are the same, the one with the highest number of votes is the final Oiran.

And on the third day, it was out of the Oiran, and this green building enjoyed exclusive honor. All the platforms in Pingkangfang have to be withdrawn, only the Oiran family is left, and the eyes of the whole Chang'an City are focused on this place, and it is difficult for this Qinglou to think about it.

On the first day of the competition, Li Mu was not worried at all, with Jin Chen's beauty and her dancing skills, unless all the men in Chang'an City were blind, there was no need to worry about not being able to enter the top six. Nervous is not nervous at all, he came mainly to see the strength of his opponent. If the preparation is not enough, he will copy a few more song lyrics on the spot, and ask Jin Chen to find a few musicians to compose the music quickly and perform it together tomorrow. If the opponent's strength is average, then it will save trouble, just prepare for Dou E to sell tickets on the third day.

After receiving the "Flying Flower Order" and entering the fangmen, Li Mu sniffed his nose and rumbled, how could he look like a roadside stall. He has been to Pingkangfang more than a hundred times, and he has never seen a roadside stall, after all, it is a green building here, not a West Market, and there is a roadside stall at the door, and the fragrance is wafting, which affects the poetry inside. But today it is different, it seems to be on every doorstep, and it doesn't cost money.

Li Siwen, as a former gentleman, is clear about these things, and said: "Big brother, this is to canvass for votes, and eat people with a short mouth!" ”
