Li Mu looked at Father-in-law Gao's face and asked, "Father-in-law, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

"No, no, no." Father-in-law Gao hurriedly said: "Master Hou is magnanimous and moving. Our family is thinking that if those imperial historians learn of Hou Ye's decision, they will definitely be overjoyed, and they will be ashamed of what they did the day before yesterday, and they will definitely do what Hou Ye wants. ”

"That's nature, Benhou has always been magnanimous." Li Mu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Gonggong Gao's words, and followed his words.

"Okay, we'll bring it to you. If Master Hou has nothing else to do, our family will leave first. ”

As he spoke, Grandpa Gao turned around and left.

"Father-in-law, slow down!"

Li Mu called out to Gao Gonggong, Gao Gonggong looked back at Li Mu and said, "I don't know what else the Hou Ye commands?" ”

Li Mu put on a smile and said, "Father-in-law, these days, Ben Hou has been repeatedly unhappy, and it is inevitable that he will be in a bad mood. If the words collide with the father-in-law, please take care of this little courtesy. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi untied the purse around his waist, took out three gold bars from it and handed them over. This gold bar was smelted by Li Mu when he received the shareholder subscription money last time. The gold on the market now is usually a gold cake per catty. The gold bars cast by Li Mu are of two systems.

"Big yellow croaker" is eleven taels, which is the same weight as the original gold cake. However, due to the change in shape, it is more convenient to carry. The "small yellow croaker" is one or two, small in size, high in value, and easy to spend.

What Li Mu gave to Gao Gonggong was the "big yellow croaker", three "big yellow croaker", and thirty taels of gold. Converted into copper coins, it is three hundred guan.

Although Gonggong Gao is the chief eunuch, he has no oil and water because his internal money has not been full. Occasionally, there are bribes from foreign ministers like Changsun Wuji and Li Mu, and there are a few more, more than a dozen times, when have I seen so much money. And it's gold, yellow gold!

Gao Gonggong originally thought that since Li Mu had broken his face, he would have to make up for it and find an opportunity to give Li Mu some face, but now that he saw the yellow and clear gold bar, this thought suddenly dissipated.

Zhuluhou is a good person! There is nothing wrong with squandering money with righteousness! Which bastard bastard actually impeached him? You can't eat!

Gao Gonggong took the three gold bars and rubbed them twice, put them into his sleeve, and then looked at his attitude, it was already different. Although it still looks like a smile, it doesn't seem to have changed, but there is a difference between laughing and laughing, can a smile from the heart be the same as a smile without laughing?

The three yellow and clear 'big yellow croaker' opened the knot in Gao Gonggong's heart, and in the blink of an eye, the relationship between the two sides became happy again.

Seeing off the satisfied father-in-law Gao, Li Mu was quite emotional.

In his previous life, he heard a saying, called wealth gathers people scatter, wealth scatters people gather. Sure enough, it is a truth that is true throughout the ages, and there is no one who does not love money. Take this high father-in-law as an example, he is a eunuch, has no descendants, and lives in the palace, without worrying about food and clothing. What's the use of him asking for money?

But he still likes money, three 'big yellow croaker', and all the knots in his heart have been untied. It seems that this money is still useful, and it needs to be earned!

was about to ask Li Chongyi to push him back to the backyard, when suddenly Zhao Youcai came to report, and the eldest grandson Wuji rushed over with the eldest grandson. Li Mu originally didn't plan to pay attention to them, but after thinking about it, the eldest grandson Wuji's identity was different after all, and he let him close the door yesterday and see him again today, which was indeed a bit of a big deal.

If you have been 'unconscious', you can fool the past, but when I saw Li Shimin yesterday, the eldest grandson Wuji must know, but it is not easy to fool. Li Mu thought about it, snapped his fingers, Li Chongyi understood, took off the bear skin on his body, Li Mu wrapped it in his body, and was pushed by Li Chongyi to the front yard lobby.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Mu sitting on a chair with wheels coming in through the side door, and hurriedly greeted him. When Li Mu saw him coming, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Guo has tormented the boy, how can the kid dare to work Uncle Guo to come to the door for the second time, it is really a big crime." After the boy woke up yesterday, he learned that his uncle and the king's servants, as well as all the colleagues in the court, had come to visit the boy, and his heart was indescribably moved. ”

Li Mu held the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji, his eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "The cold knows the pine and cypress, and the adversity sees the truth." Originally, the kid still had a misunderstanding with the princes, thinking that the princes all looked at the kid's jokes, and hid behind when they encountered things, and just wanted to take advantage of the kid and treat the kid as a fool...... Now it seems that the boy is wrong, the princes are so good to the boys, I feel so guilty, I am sorry for the princes......"

When Changsun Chong heard Li Mu so sarcastic, his face suddenly became ugly, and he almost couldn't help but make a sound, fortunately, he still remembered what he was here to do today, and he was still holding the six rites in his hand, so he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to look at his nose and nose and heart, but he didn't hear it.

How could the eldest grandson Wuji not be able to stand Li Mu's ridicule, he said so much, every word was ironic. But who is the eldest grandson Wuji, how can he follow Li Mu's way. Li Mu grabbed his hand tightly, and he in turn grabbed Li Mu's hand even tighter. Li Mu's face gradually stiffened, he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji, a Wenchen, would have such a big hand, old guy, he had practiced!

The eldest grandson Wuji looked sincere and said: "Don't say such unsightly words to the virtuous nephew, what you have done and the credit you have made are in everyone's eyes." Even if you don't mention this, you and I have relatives. If you don't care about others, I'll definitely take care of it. That day you vomited blood and fainted, and the incident happened in a hurry, and it was too late for anything. The next day, the old man came to visit you, and then I made a recital, asking Your Majesty to severely punish these false accusers, and let the virtuous nephew out of this evil breath! ”

Believe you, a ghost!

Li Mu scolded in his heart, but he had to squeeze out a smile on his face. Thick-skinned people are most afraid of thicker-skinned, which is like people pricking each other with needles, and thicker-skinned ones are always better.

"Thank you, Uncle Guo......" Li Mu forcefully pulled his hand out of the eldest grandson Wuji's hand, and his hand was already pinched red, like a chicken paw. Li Mu had to retract his hand back into the bearskin coat, stretched out his other hand and gestured, and asked Eldest Sun Wuji and Eldest Sun Chong to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Wei Yingluo served the teacup. Now that she has adapted to the work of the maid, in order to prevent her from seeing Li Mu often, Li Zhien assigned her to the front yard. The guests in the lobby serve tea, and the guests leave and remove the tea cups, which is her job.

was rejected yesterday, Li Mu felt a little awkward in his heart, so he didn't leave her. After she served tea, Li Mu saw the things next to Changsun Chong, and his heart moved, probably guessing their intentions.

"Li Mu, I came today, in addition to visiting you, there is one more thing, please agree."

"Ouch," Li Mu hurriedly made a look of unbearability, and said, "Uncle Guo talks like this, but the kid can't be a man." Uncle Guo took a lot of care of the boy, and the boy couldn't repay him. How dare you be an uncle of the country and have a 'request' word? Anything, as long as Uncle Guo tells him, the kid can do it, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup! Uncle Guo, please speak! ”

"Then I'll leave it at that." Eldest Sun Wuji gave Changsun Chong a try, and Changsun Chong, who had just sat down and had not yet sat on his buttocks, had to hold on to the chair, move his big ass with difficulty, stand up, carry the six salutes he brought, and kneel in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu was taken aback and said, "Oh, what's going on!" The son of the world is going to torment me! But if it's not a festival, why do you kneel? Hurry up, you and I are peers, you are still older than me, why shouldn't you kneel, get up! Saying that, he made an anxious look, and said to Li Chongyi behind him: "Big man, why is he so eyeless, the prince must have fallen because he was too fat, hurry up and help him up!" ”

Changsun Chong's face was flushed, he knew that Li Mu was ridiculing him for being fat, and by the way, he was also reminding him of the previous agreement between the two, last time Changsun Chong said that he wanted to apprentice, Li Mu told him to lose weight to one hundred and fifty pounds before he considered it. Now that Changsun Chong obviously didn't do it, but brought his father over, Li Mu was obviously mocking.

The eldest grandson Chong's fat face was flushed, and he lowered his head and didn't speak. He came here with his father's eldest grandson Wuji today, and it is no longer up to him to call the shots, no matter what Li Mu says, this master has decided today, so he simply didn't speak, and let him taunt.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Li Mu, I only learned yesterday that Chong'er had mentioned that he wanted to worship you as a teacher. He is the same generation as you and older than you, so it stands to reason that it is not appropriate to worship you as a teacher. If it had been left behind, I would not have agreed to this. But after reading your "Teacher's Sayings", I understand the essence of the way of being a teacher. ”

"As you say in "The Teacher's Sayings": 'Before I was born, what I heard was also before me, and I learned from it; After being born to me, he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from him. My teacher is also the way, and the husband knows that he was born in my year? Although Chong'er is older than you, her ability is not as good as yours. It's fitting that he learns from you. You don't have to worry about seniority, just have your own opinions. ”

Li Mu waved his hand again and again: "It's not proper, the kid is only seventeen years old this year, how can he be the teacher of the son, this is bad for the reputation of the son, and it is also bad for the reputation of the uncle." The prince should learn from a famous teacher, and I think Kong Yingda, the prince of the country, is good. I also have a friendship with Lao Kong, why don't I write a letter to Lao Kong to recommend, and let the prince worship under the Confucian sacrifice wine? If the prince can worship under his door, he will definitely become a scumbag like the Louvre and Zheng Jing in Shandong...... Dragons and phoenixes among people! ”

The eldest grandson clenched his teeth, if it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji here, he couldn't wait to pounce on him and sit Li Mu to death. But the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to have not heard it, and insisted: "Li Mu, don't be too modest. Who doesn't know, whether Kong Yingda is a poet or a strategy, he is your defeated? As soon as your "Teacher Said" came out, he even came to seek advice, a young talent, and a terrifying future life. Even His Majesty has appointed you to be the teacher of the crown prince and the king of Yue, who in the world dares to doubt your talent? ”

Saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji made an angry look and said: "Unless, you look down on my eldest grandson's family, and feel that my eldest grandson Wuji's eldest son is not as noble as the prince, and he is unwilling to teach." If so, I didn't mention it. ”

Having said that, if Li Mu insists on refusing again, I am afraid that he will offend the eldest grandson Wuji to death. Li Mu doesn't do such a thing.

Li Mu was silent for a while, sighed, and reluctantly said: "Since Uncle Guo has spoken, if the kid shirks it again, he will be a little ignorant." Okay, Changsun Chong, you kowtow to me! ”

Eldest Sun Chong's eyes widened, what did he say? Kowtow, kowtow?

Li Muqiang couldn't help laughing, and said with a straight face: "Why, now the apprentice doesn't kowtow?" ”

"Chong'er, don't kowtow yet?!"

The eldest grandson glared at Li Mu indignantly, knelt at Li Mu's feet, and made a big salute.

Oops? Still a little unconvinced?

Li Mu suddenly slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory!" Uncle Guo, if the kid wants to take advantage of this, he really confiscated the apprentice and doesn't know the rules. The kid also heard about it, but I don't know if it's right. It seems that this apprenticeship seems to be worshipping even the master and his wife. The kid just got married, look at this...... Of course, if the son of the world doesn't want to, then that's it, that's it, just worship it, let it be taught, it doesn't matter. ”

Not really! The head has already kowtowed, and it is not bad to kowtow again. Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to speak, the eldest grandson said to himself: "Master is above, please listen to the disciple." If this is the case, please also ask the master to sit down and be bowed by the disciples. ”

"Look at this......" Li Mu smiled 'embarrassedly' and said, "It's really my good apprentice!" Big, go and invite the lady, and then tell the cook to cook a few more good dishes. Today I am happy to receive disciples, and the whole house celebrates! No, no, no, don't bother, let Xiao Jiu'er go to heaven and earth, I will charter the venue today. Invite Ben Hou's friends, relatives and friends to congratulate me Li Mu on finally accepting an apprentice! ”

Li Chongyi replied and went back to the back house. After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao came. When she heard Li Chongyi say, she thought it was a joke, but she didn't know it was true until she saw Changsun Chong kneeling here, and she looked a little nervous.

Li Mu asked Li Chongyi to move a chair over, next to Li Mu, and let Bai Qiaoqiao sit down.

Eldest Sun Chong took a deep breath, today he threw away his face and kowtowed again.

"Good apprentice, please get up!!"

Li Muxu stretched out his hand, and Li Chongyi helped Changsun Chong up for him. The eldest grandson Chong sent the six rites to the bundle, and Li Mu asked Bai Qiaoqiao to take it, and this apprenticeship ceremony was completed.

The so-called six rites are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, longan, red dates, and jerky. Each has a different meaning, celery takes the homonym of diligence, which means diligence and studiousness, lotus seeds have a hard heart, meaning painstaking teaching, red beans mean red luck, red dates mean early high school, longan means merit is complete, and meat strips express the filial piety of disciples.

Li Mu read them one by one, deliberately pretended not to know the meaning, and said: "Big one, prepare a car to go to heaven and earth, take these six things with you, first boil a longan lotus seed jujube bean porridge, and then use celery and dried meat to make a filling to wrap some dumplings, and then give the guests a meal, although it is a little less, it is also a piece of the heart of the prince." Other good wine and good food are all counted in my account, how can I, who is a master, let my apprentice break the bank. ”
