Chapter 581: Appropriate
"When others are angry, they will catch me with evil spirits, and I don't look like an emperor at all, so I will return to Mingjun, bah."
Li Mu muttered in his mouth, pacing into his own Fengqiuhuang, today Jingdong gathered all the scoundrels in Chang'an City, which female relatives dared to buy rouge, so the Fengqiuhuang, which was hot in the past, seems to be closed today, and there is not a single sparrow at the door.
It's not a bad thing, Xiaozhu Xiaolan and the others can finally take a breath and rest. But after all, it's a business, and it can't be completely rested, Xiaozhu is taking people to count the goods, and when he saw Li Mu coming, he just said hello, Li Mu usually doesn't play at home, and Xiaozhu and others are all subordinates who followed him from the beginning, and there are no such big rules.
Now in this phoenix, when Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien don't come, it turns out that the four major maids of the Hou Mansion are in charge, and they are originally high and low, but Xiaozhu is smarter after all, and most of the things are still Xiaozhu to make up his mind. It's no different, the four big girls got along well.
"Didn't Madame come to the city with me today?"
"Here he is, and he is gone, and he is going to visit the old lady."
"Oh." Li Mu answered, and no longer asked. Bai Qiaoqiao often goes to meet with Sun, and it is also unfilial to say that her daughter-in-law is much more than his son. It's not that Li Mu doesn't go to visit the Sun family, but every time he goes, his heart is twisted. First, he is embarrassed that he is not the original Li Mu, and second, because the Sun family remarried Tang Jian, he went to the Tang family, and he always felt that it was not like that. Although no one from the Tang family dared to show him a face.
The saying that mothers are more precious than their sons is true in ancient and modern times. Li Mu's current momentum and status have actually surpassed Tang Jian, and Tang Jian loves the Sun family very much, and the people in the house naturally did not dare to offend her. However, there are some things that are beyond the reach of power. Sun's background, knowledge, vision, etc., are all out of the stream. With the ladies of equal status, they can't talk together at all. She doesn't understand what poetry and songs people talk about. On the contrary, I chatted with some old mothers in the house very closely.
In this way, people look down on it, although they dare not express it, but between words, they can also reveal the meaning to some extent. Sun is also a good-looking person, and over time, if it is not necessary, he will not associate with these ladies, and he will stay in the house all day long, in fact, he is also very lonely.
Bai Qiaoqiao went a few more times, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were able to talk about their previous life in Mayi, which could be regarded as filial piety. Li Mu couldn't talk about these things, he recently found that as time went by, the memories of the original Li Mu in his mind became more and more blurred, sometimes Bai Qiaoqiao mentioned anything when he was a child, he couldn't get the number right, fortunately, Bai Qiaoqiao never doubted him, otherwise it was likely that something would go wrong.
Li Zhien still rarely interjects, but she is very smart, and when she is with Sun, she is coaxing and holding to make the old lady happy. And Bai Qiaoqiao doesn't need these, her belly is now a magic weapon, and the status of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been reversed in an instant because of this belly, and now it is the Sun family who coaxes her.
Li Mu secretly wondered if it was because of this that Bai Qiaoqiao had been going to Sun's place more and more recently.
"Ben Hou's recliner, is it still in the house?"
"Yes, your house hasn't moved, and when Mrs. and Second Mrs. come over, they occasionally take a nap, and it's the same as before."
"I'll go sleep for a while, and call me in an hour."
Li Mu spoke, pushed the door and entered the house, and sure enough, as Xiaozhu said, the furnishings in the house had not been touched at all. Li Mu took a blanket, collapsed on the chaise longue, covered himself, and closed his eyes gently.
Suddenly, he heard a squeak at the door, Li Mu was not asleep, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes, and saw that it was Wang Ou, so he hurriedly pulled the blanket away and motioned her to come over.
Wang Ou walked over, snuggled next to Li Mu, and gently leaned on his shoulder. This recliner is already widened, one person is still free, although the two of them are a little crowded, but it is not impossible to lie down, Li Mu turned a little sideways, just right.
"Drunk?" Li Mu smelled a little bit of wine and said with a frown.
Wang Ou nodded and said, "The king of Hejian County toasted, and had to drink a cup," she stretched out a finger and smiled cutely: "It's just a cup." β
"I didn't expect you to drink so shallowly." Li Mu looked at Wang Ou's red face, and couldn't help but urge him.
"The concubine usually doesn't drink it, and occasionally drinks it, it's all light wine, if you want to blame it, you have to blame the husband's three cups for being too strong, which doesn't suit the taste of the concubine."
Li Mu said with a smile: "Then when the flowers bloom, I will make you new wine, make sure you like it." β
"Hmm." Wang Ou looked at Li Mu's smiling appearance, and somehow a sense of guilt suddenly surged in his heart. Perhaps it was because of the effect of alcohol that amplified this feeling, and she suddenly felt that she was a bad woman, very bad, very bad. was already many years older than Li Mu, but he was shameless and attracted his true feelings, but he had a lot of things to deceive him, he didn't know anything, and he laughed so stupidly.
Wang Ou felt distressed for a while, raised his hand to soothe Li Mu's frowning brows, and said, "Husband, if there is an afterlife, I just hope to be able to be your childhood sweetheartββ"
"Oh," Li Mu sighed, "It's here again, it's here again, didn't we say okay, don't you say such things?" You're worried that I'm old and I'm worried that you're young, so I'm trying to make myself look mature, don't you see? How many things have you done for you that shouldn't have been done by people of this age, do you know what this is called? β
Wang Ou shook his head lightly, and Li Muxu said: "This is called early overdraft, I am eighteen years old this year, and I have done so many things, it is not my ability now, it is my ability in the future." I'm using what I'm doing now, and I'm a waste in the future. If you don't dislike me for being a waste, and take me as a noodle, how about that? β
"It's not serious again." Wang Ou glanced at him and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile. Seeing this, Li Mu also laughed happily and said, "Look, you're just too worried." With food and clothing, how can there be so many things to worry about? When I was in Mayi, in order to earn a few hundred dollars so that my mother could get medicine, I went to be a village warrior? That kind of hard life is the real sorrow. β
"Husband, I only hate that I didn't know you at that time, if I had known you earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."
"Hah!" Li Mu laughed and said, "At that time, I was like a wood, I may not say a word a day, you know me, and you won't like me." β
Wang Ou was about to argue, Li Mu said again: "Don't think about it so much, fate, it's very strange, no matter when you meet, as long as it is foreseen, it is irreplaceable fate, it is the most appropriate time, early, late, we will not love each other." β
Wang Ou thought silently for a while, and nodded: "Husband can always make sense, I can't talk about you." β
