"Husband, where is it?"

When Li Mu came out of the Gongyuan, he saw Bai Qiaoqiao waving across the street, and Dugu Jiu standing behind her. Li Mu hurriedly walked over, gently grabbed Bai Qiaoqiao's hand, and complained: "Lady, didn't I tell you, you don't need to come over, your husband is a genius, what's wrong with heaven?" You're waiting here with a big belly, in case you're tired, I might as well stop taking the test. ”

Bai Qiaoqiao looked down at his lower abdomen, in fact, it was only two months, how could he have a big belly, he looked at him with disgust, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, where is my mother?" ”

"Mother?" Li Mu raised his head and looked left and right: "Where is it?" Don't you see? ”

"In the car over there, the carriage can't come here, so Xiao Jiu and I will come over and wait first."

Li Mu felt Dugu Jiu's concerned gaze and nodded, and Dugu Jiu took his gaze back, as if the person he had just seen was not him.

"Husband, why did you come out so early? Are the exam questions difficult? ”

"Is it difficult...... Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It shouldn't be difficult, anyway, I don't think there is anything difficult...... Suddenly Li Mu slapped his thigh, as if he remembered something, and said eagerly: "I almost forgot a big thing, oops, how much money did I make delayed!" Li Mu grabbed Dugu Jiu's arm and said, "Is the second dog here?" Did this dog come? ”

Dugu Jiu was also stunned, and hurriedly replied: "Here, by the old lady's side." ”

"Let's go, let's go, I've got something to look for him!" Li Mu said, running ahead in the first place, Bai Qiaoqiao and Dugu Jiu had no choice but to follow, fortunately, no candidates came out at this time, and the streets were not crowded, and soon they came to the place where the carriage was parked.

"Ergou, come here!"

Ergou heard Li Mu call him, and hurriedly ran over: "What do you have to say about Master Hou?" ”

"Go, hurry up, open a handicap in the Four Seas Gambling House, and bet on whether I can win the champion. The higher the odds, the better, and then put all the existing money in the gambling house up, buy me can win, this time Benhou will kill the whole city! ”

"Huh?" Ergou was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he had to look at Dugu Jiu with a blank eye, hoping that he could stand up and say something. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't dare to count on it, besides, Bai Qiaoqiao had never asked about the gambling house, and she didn't necessarily understand.

Dugu Jiu has played in the gambling house a few times, but he is not addicted, so he doesn't know much about the gambling house. Facing the gaze cast by Ergou, he turned his gaze to the side. Ergou had no choice, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Master Hou...... Do you think about it again, the odds are a little, a little"

"What do you mean?" Li Mu stared at Ergou's eyes and said, "Ha, now that you are the big beam, you dare to question Benhou, right?" ”

"No, no, no, the villain doesn't dare, the villain will always be a second dog in front of the Hou Ye, not a big beam, just this ...... There are nearly 100,000 yuan in the gambling house, all of which are pressed on this, in case there is a case, 100,000 yuan, the villain has to remind Hou Ye. ”

"What are you afraid of? If you go to Changsun Chong and take out another 100,000 yuan from the account of the Internal Affairs Office to win, it will be regarded as a bet made by His Majesty. ”

"This ......" Ergou suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from the back of his neck, and grinned: "Master Hou, embezzlement of public funds from the Internal Affairs Office, but you want to kill your head." ”

"You're a messenger, are you so daring? I can't kill your head, what are you afraid of, go quickly, be careful that I kick you! ”

Ergou still wanted to persuade again, but he refused to go: "Master Hou, think about it again, think twice."

Li Mu raised his foot: "Kicked you?" Kicking? ”

Before he could kick out, suddenly the back of his butt hit him vigorously, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, two dogs caught him in front of him, saving one dog from gnawing on the mud. Li Mu was furious, and when he turned around, he scolded: "Which one who doesn't know how to die dares to kick Ben Hou's ass?" Don't want to live anymore, do you? Acquaintance knelt on the ground and asked me to kick back, otherwise it would be impossible for Lao Tzu to skin you with an order, why are you so free, Your Majesty? ”

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Isn't it a bastard who wants to skin me and embezzle my money to gamble to participate in the imperial examination today?" I can't let go of my heart, come and take a look, it's a loss, otherwise I don't know that someone is so arrogant! Li Mu, I warn you, what do you do with your own money, I can't control it, but my money, the money from the inside, you are not allowed to touch a penny, I am useful, you are not allowed to mess around! ”

"Your Majesty, how can the minister be fooling around? This is to earn money for Your Majesty! Why don't you take the money you have to win? ”

"I know what you think," Li Shimin squinted his eyes and said, "You must be pondering, if I also take 100,000 yuan, I will favor you and go along with you in the palace test." How could I have been fooled? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't mean this"

"It doesn't matter if I have it or not, I don't want to make this money, do I? You'll take your test well" Suddenly Li Shimin frowned and said: "I have heard in the past few days, you always submit the papers in advance, I didn't believe it at first, but I saw it with my own eyes today, so I really believed it." You kid is really arrogant, Mingzi, Mingshu and other small subjects can be handed in in advance, Mingjing is a big subject, you still don't take it seriously? If I ask you, you do very badly in the exam, don't say that you are embarrassed, even I will be ashamed together. ”

Li Mu didn't bother to explain, and said: "The minister has confidence to be like this, he can't finish answering, let's stare at the invigilator with big eyes." You don't know, there were five invigilators in a scene, two of them were like the guards, the two protectors on the left and right, all of them did not move, staring straight at me. Your Majesty Mingjian, a genius like Chen, can he still use his writings? ”

"I'm really going out of the palace for a long time." Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, it just so happened that at this time, the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and when the Ming Jing Department officially ended, all the students who took the exam walked out of the gate, Li Shimin stretched out his finger and said, "Is that the kid from Qin Qiong's family?" ”

Li Mu hurriedly shouted: "Qin Huaidao, here!" ”

When Qin Huaidao saw Li Mu, he didn't want to come over, but he had to come over. When he came to him, he first saluted Li Shimin, and then gave Li Mu a disciple salute, and called his teacher.

"Qin Huaidao, how did you do in the exam?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the students did well in the exam, and the posts and the ten articles of righteousness are okay, but I am not very confident in the three current policies."

Li Shimin said with a smile; "Li Mu, I have read the exam questions, these three current affairs are your forte, why do your apprentices say that they have no confidence, is it possible that your apprentice still has a hand?"

"The ministers didn't keep a hand, and the ministers who should be taught have been taught. Qin Huaidao is modest, Your Majesty can rest assured, he must be a top three. ”
