In order to get the bearings as soon as possible, Li Mu got up early and came to the studio to process parts and punch the proficiency of [mechanism].

The process of punching proficiency is boring and boring, and it is carried out mechanically, and when the stamina is empty, chew some beef jerky and rest for a while.

In order to facilitate the production of bearings, the drawings used by Li Muchong are all parts needed in the bearings. In this way, after he rushes to the intermediate level, he can directly assemble the bearing with parts, and there is no need to delay time.

"Husband."

The door creaked open, and Bai Qiaoqiao walked in apologetically. Li Mu had just finished making a part, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he paused and ignored it.

"Husband, it's time for breakfast."

"Humph!"

"Husband, I know it's wrong." Qiaoqiao came behind Li Mu, gently hugged his neck, and coaxed in his ear: "Today is the porridge I personally cooked, and my husband likes to drink it the most." ”

Li Mu kept working on his hands, and said sourly: "I'm afraid it's not porridge for me, right?" ”

"Of course, it's porridge for my husband."

"Isn't it for your heavenly sister?"

Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, shook her head, and said, "It's just the porridge that my husband boiled, just boil more, and it's a pity to throw the rest away, give them a little." ”

"Hmph, coax me like a child." Li Mu threw the finished spring into the box next to him, and sighed: "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. Where is the simple and kind lady who used to be, now she will coax her husband-"

"Is the husband really angry?" Bai Qiaoqiao walked around to Li Mu, looked at his face carefully, and his expression became a little unnatural: "Husband won't be angry, right?" You're scaring me, aren't you? ”

"Angry!"

Li Mu dropped the copper wire in his hand, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Lady, judging from your performance yesterday, I have reason to suspect that there is a problem between you and Zhang Tianai!" ”

Bai Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and said dumbfoundedly: "What's the problem?" ”

"The two of you must have the 'good of Fengyin'!"

Bai Qiaoqiao didn't understand what Li Mu meant, and looked at him blankly.

"As expected, my head is full of these things!"

Zhang Tianai's voice came from behind him, Li Mu looked back at her, and said angrily: "You are allowed to rob my wife, are you not allowed to say it?" Chick, you're too domineering, aren't you? Yesterday I let you, otherwise you thought you would be my opponent? ”

"Humph!" Zhang Tianai didn't answer his question, and sneered in return.

Li Mu suddenly felt that his self-esteem was challenged, stood up and glared at her, and said, "Have you seen my two little brothers?" Don't talk about the big one, you can't beat him for sure. Did you see the new little brother? His name is Dugu Jiu, the first fast sword in Chang'an, and he doesn't accept the comparison! ”

Zhang Tianai glanced at him and said, "What do I do with you, do you have the ability to do it yourself?" ”

"I'm scared!" Li Mu didn't take a stubble, pointed at Zhang Tianai and said to Bai Qiaoqiao: "Madame see it, this is the woman you like, she is scared, she doesn't dare to compete with my little brother!" ”

Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, but she still nodded very face-saving and coaxed: "The husband is the most powerful." ”

Zhang Tianai blocked Li Mu's arm and said, "I'm talking about you, otherwise, I'll let you ...... with one hand."

"Say no more!" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "People who can't even deal with my little brother are not qualified to be my opponents." Besides, I shot too hard, and if I didn't make a move, I would die. Although you are a little annoying, a little arrogant, a little rude, and a little revenge, but after all, you are not a bad person, I don't want to take your life, so I will spare you this time. ”

After speaking, Li Mu glanced at Zhang Tianai with great contempt, hugged Qiaoqiao into his arms, raised his chin and said, "Be more disciplined in the future, my woman, stay away!" ”

Zhang Tianai threw him a big eye, who has a way to deal with this kind of 'forced victory'?

"Yesterday it happened to come with me...... Never mind! I'm too lazy to tell you, you can think whatever you like. Zhang Tianai pulled out a letter from his arms, threw it to Li Mu, and said, "Your brother entrusted me with the letter for you." ”

Li Mu took the letter in his hand and suddenly laughed.

Zhang Tianai frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I'm laughing at you!" Li Mu took a step back and hid behind Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Wear the new belly pocket I designed, right?" It's still so flat when you wear it, aren't you desperate? ”

Zhang Tianai subconsciously looked down, and immediately understood what Li Mu meant, and wanted to draw the sword, but the sword was not with him, and when he saw the hammer on the workbench, he stretched out his hand and copied it.

"I'll kill you!"

"Qiaoqiao, help!"

"Sister Tianai-"

Taking advantage of the coincidence to grab Zhang Tianai, Li Mu grabbed the door and fled: "Who cares about you, I drank the porridge boiled by the lady, you wait to drink the rest!" ”

Zhang Tianai was so angry that he threw away the hammer in his hand, and said angrily: "Sister Qiaoqiao, look at him like this." He is already seventeen years old, and with the crown, he is an adult, how can he still look like a child! Lustful and naïve, why do you just like him, and you persuade me too-"

Zhang Tianai stomped his feet and said angrily: "Even if I really can't get married in this life, I admit it, and I will never marry him!" ”

Qiaoqiao was not annoyed, and said: "Sister Tianai, you have prejudices against your husband, so you can't see his goodness." Actually, my husband is not what you think, he is really good to me. ”

"You're just stupid."

Zhang Tianai said in a puff, turned around and walked out: "I'll go to the front yard to eat, don't drink his leftover porridge!" ”

Bai Qiaoqiao shook her head, but she didn't keep her, bent down to pick up the hammer on the ground, put it back in its original place, and went back to the back house to accompany Li Mu to dinner.

……

Last night, Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai talked all night, and the two of them fell asleep when it was almost dawn. The sisters haven't seen each other for a few months, and a lot of things have happened during this period, and Bai Qiaoqiao told Zhang Tianai about it. also explained the matter of Zhi'en and resolved Zhang Tianai's prejudice against Li Mu.

Between the words, Bai Qiaoqiao mentioned the upcoming opening of a store in Jingdongji. When it comes to the store, naturally he can't hide from Wang Ou. Although Zhang Tianai has seen Wang Ou and has a good impression of Wang Ou, he heard Bai Qiaoqiao talk about the two of them about the street shop, and his impression of him plummeted, and he was filled with righteous indignation.

Bai Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to mention Zhang Tianai's lifelong event, saying that her age is not young, if there is no good match, she is willing to match her to marry Li Mu, and the sisters can get along day and night.

Zhang Tianai guessed what Bai Qiaoqiao meant, although Bai Qiaoqiao didn't say it explicitly, but this Peony lady acted like this, and she must have nothing to do with Li Mu. Bai Qiaoqiao wanted her to marry Li Mu, part of it was for her lifelong considerations, and the other part was definitely to consolidate her position and keep this Peony lady out.

Hearing this proposal, Zhang Tianai was really tempted for a moment. Because she returned to Zhangjiazhai this time, she also faced the dilemma of forced marriage. Her father Zhang Xun told her that she would be allowed for another half a year at most, and if she could not find a good match in this half year, she would have to be the master to recruit relatives for her in Zhangjiazhai.

If Zhangjiazhai's son-in-law is not in love, there is another way. There is a small country in the Western Regions called Gaochang. Separated from Zhangjiazhai by a desert, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty goods smuggled by Zhangjiazhai were the nobles of Gaochang State, in addition to the Turkic nobles who were the largest buyers. There was a prince in Gaochang Kingdom named Lu Zhisheng, who happened to be of marriageable age. Zhang Xun and the current king of Gaochang, Ju Wentai, have known each other for many years, and when the Uighurs and other tribes besieged Gaochang a few years ago, he also led the horse bandits of Zhangjiazhai to help. If he writes a letter, Ju Wentai will give this face and let his son accept Zhang Tianai as a concubine.

Although it can't be used as a main room, it's a good home. And with this layer of marriage, it is equivalent to preparing a back road for Zhangjiazhai. Once the Tang Dynasty sent troops to clear Zhangjiazhai, the people of Zhangjiazhai could cross the desert and settle in Gaochangguo. This is not the traditional sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, and it is separated by a large desert, and the cost of sending troops is too high, so Zhangjiazhai can escape the catastrophe.

Zhang Tianai's son-in-law in Zhangjiazhai has never had feelings between men and women. Listening to his father's words again, he felt that his father actually wanted her to marry the prince of Gaochang, but he didn't say it explicitly. Zhang Tianxin also knew that as the daughter of the owner of Zhangjiazhai, she should make sacrifices for the entire village, so in her heart, she had actually accepted her fate.

But when I was about to say yes, somehow, there seemed to be a voice in my heart asking myself, is it possible, is this the end of this life?

Changan!

Flashing over the majestic city walls of Chang'an in her mind, Zhang Tianai did not say her decision, but told her father Zhang Xun that she was going to Chang'an again. Find a way to solve the matter of Zhangjiazhai, if you can't do it, she will come back in half a year.

The words were not said thoroughly, but Zhang Xun already understood the meaning. Before talking to his daughter, he had already met Lao Hu and others who went to Chang'an with Zhang Tianai, and knew that his daughter knew a Hou Ye in Chang'an, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very close.

Zhang Xun agreed without any hesitation, after all, for Zhangjiazhai. When it comes to backers, there is still no comparison between Prince Gaochang and the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. What is Gaochang, although it is called a country, but its power and military strength are not even comparable to a folding mansion in the Tang Dynasty. And the Tang Dynasty can be a marquis, which one is not a great achievement? When leading the army, there are at least three or five troops under his command!

If her daughter can open up the situation in Chang'an, the crisis in Zhangjiazhai may be solved. What's more, as a father, he also wants his daughter to get a good home. Gaochang, the land of the outside world, the barbarians, how can it be compared with the Tang Dynasty, which is a great treasure of Wuhua Tianbao?

Zhang Xun knew in his heart that this was his daughter's last chance to gamble, and he gave the greatest support within his ability. The goods brought to Chang'an this time were three times as large as last time, and in addition, he also asked Zhang Tianai to bring a box of treasures. This box of treasures was obtained by him through various means over the years. Everything is a treasure, he originally wanted to put it in the coffin and take it away after he died, but now he has also taken it out, so that Zhang Tianai can find a way to sell it, and the money obtained will be used to dredge up the relationship.

Between father and daughter, it is tacit. Zhang Xun guessed his daughter's thoughts, but he didn't know where Zhang Tianai had any thoughts, and her whole person was contradictory.

Does she like Li Mu?

Reason told her that she wouldn't like someone like that. But she also can't deny that she has an inexplicable affection for this person in her heart.

All the way back to Zhangjiazhai from Chang'an, she was thinking about why she was angry with Li Mu. In the end, the answer was that she was jealous.

How ridiculous!

Therefore, when Bai Qiaoqiao said this proposal, Zhang Tianai had a trace of joy in his heart. Anyway, I can't get married, so it's better to marry him, at least he doesn't hate it that much.

The heart that was already ready to move, after the events of the morning, settled down again. Zhang Tianai found that he still couldn't accept Li Mu's character. Why can't he be more mature and steady?

Which girl doesn't have spring.

Although Zhang Tianai is old, she is no longer a girl. But she also came over when she was a girl, and she didn't think about her future husband.

She wants to find a general who gallops on the battlefield, vertical and horizontal, and invincible. Red horse silver spear, flag hunting. But she had never met such a person, thinking of Li Mu, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, although he was a little courageous, a little smart, and had faced thousands of Turkic soldiers defending the city, but after all, it was only a thousand people. It is far from the general she thought in her heart.

Zhang Tianai sighed and thought to himself. That's it, I don't want to, stay in Chang'an for half a year, and go back to marry the prince of Gaochang. Whoever makes this life a daughter, this is also the best decision for the father and the village.

……

Back house.

After Li Mu inspected the fire paint, he opened the envelope and took out Li Siwen's letter. Li Zhien was holding a bowl next to him, blew a spoonful of porridge, and fed it to his mouth, Li Mu opened his mouth to eat. Bai Qiaoqiao took another side dish and handed it over, Li Mu tilted his head and ate it in one bite.

When he has a wife and concubine by his side, Li Mu is like a disabled person, he can be lazy.

Before he could read the content, Li Mu's eyebrows were twisted.

When did Li Siwen's calligraphy be practiced, and he already looked like it. He remembered that when he was in Dingxiang, Li Siwen's words were not good.

Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, and how long has it been, and the younger brother has made such progress. Li Mu was relieved and at the same time, he was also a little ashamed. No, you have to practice calligraphy! On that day in Chongwen Hall, Li Mu shouted to Ouyang Xun, who wrote the words 'Kaiyuan Tongbao', as his teacher, and Li Shimin agreed. But Li Mu never came to visit, so the matter was shelved. Since he remembered this, Li Mu planned to turn around and take a look when he would enter the palace to send the mirror. If Ouyang is here, ask him for a few calligraphy notes and go home to practice.

Li Zhien blew another spoonful of cold and fed it, Li Mu opened his mouth to eat it, and began to read Li Siwen's letter.

[Big brother, Huang Qi has arrived with people and food security, the winery has been built, and when you receive the letter, you will almost be ready to drink. Many people in Zhangjiazhai have come to live in Dingxiang, and I allocated a piece of land to them, and they are all very happy. Gensheng wants to know about his parents, please bring a letter from home, I will teach him to read, he already knows a lot, and ......].
