Chapter 371: The Agony of Happiness

When Li Mu woke up, the sun was shining. The warm sun in winter, with a special flavor, is not as blazing as in summer, but it can make people feel warm when they look at it. Li Mu didn't remember where he said, he only remembered that he fell asleep while talking.

looked left and right, Wang Ou was not around. Li Mu sat up and looked ahead a little blankly. At this time, there was a sound at the door, Li Mu looked over and saw Wang Ou coming over with a basin of water, intending to serve him to wash.

Washing in the Tang Dynasty, before Li Mu crossed, it was slightly different. Brushing your teeth, rinsing your mouth, washing your face, and the process are pretty much the same. But because there is no toothbrush, brushing his teeth always makes Li Mu very uncomfortable.

But don't think that people in Datang have bad breath. In fact, the food of Datang is very simple, and there are not so many food residues compared to later generations. The gargling method is commonly used, using salt water, strong tea, and wine as mouthwashes, and rinsing the mouth after eating, and also rinsing the mouth in the morning and evening. Rich and noble people, there are also special 'medicinal powder', similar to the tooth powder of later generations, but Li Mu didn't know what it was made of, but he guessed that there must be mint and salt in it, because after he used it, there was a cool breeze in his mouth, and he was still panicking.

There are two ways to use 'tooth powder'. For those who are particular about it, use a twig or hemp to dip it in tooth powder and 'rub' it in their mouth. The feeling is not very good, giving the feeling of chewing on the cane that has already been chewed. For those who are less particular, they just pick it with their hands and then rinse their mouths.

It turned out that when he lived in Mayi and Dingxiang, Li Mu basically rinsed his mouth, because there was no 'tooth powder' sold in that place. After arriving in Chang'an, when I had money, I went directly to the highest grade, and the tooth powder and hemp were matched. But Li Mu belongs to the kind of people who don't call and don't pay attention to it, and always picks it with his hands - in fact, it doesn't matter, brushing his teeth is a relatively private thing in this era, even if it is between husband and wife, he is avoided. For example, he rarely sees how Bai Qiaoqiao brushes his teeth, and occasionally sees it, Bai Qiaoqiao will avoid him.

Li Mu also felt strange, in his previous life, he looked at the licking dog on the Internet and said that beauties were even fragrant. Li Mu thought at the time, isn't this nonsense? But now, he kind of feels like it makes sense. Isn't it strange that in such poor brushing conditions, his wives are all small white teeth?

Presumably it is the effect of tooth powder, but Li Mu can't stand it anymore, and the toothbrush must be put on the agenda, but he hasn't thought about what materials to use to make the toothbrush. Hemp is definitely not good, the taste is too bad. The hair is too soft, and the horse's mane is quite suitable, but who would cut the horse's mane to make a toothbrush? Besides, there aren't that many manes to use......

Li Mu pondered, Wang Ou had already handed over the hemp and 'tooth powder'. Li Mu took the 'tooth powder', dipped his fingers in water directly, and then dipped some 'tooth powder' into his mouth and began to pick. Wang Ou looked at him with a smile and a smile, and Li Mu also looked at her, as if on purpose, and picked harder.

Wang Ou was born in a high family, and he valued etiquette since he was a child, and when he saw Li Mu's appearance, he couldn't help it, and said, "Husband, it's too unsightly." ”

Li Mu shook his head and said vaguely: "I'm just a little splash, do you love it?" ”

How could Wang Ou be reluctant to say that he didn't love it, he glanced at him with disgust, handed him the mouthwash, and said, "You just bully me, who made me like you-"

Li Mu smiled, rinsed his mouth, and kissed Wang Ou's cherry lips. Wang Ou's cheeks were crimson, and he was also moved, hugging Li Mu's neck and responding enthusiastically. Seeing that he was about to wipe the gun, Li Mu hurriedly braked the car, his lips parted, and both of them gasped for air.

"Is it beautiful?" Li Mu looked at Wang Ou evilly, he liked Wang Ou's panicked appearance. She looks more like a girl who is just beginning to fall in love, with a shyness that does not match her age.

Wang Ou nodded lightly, snuggled on Li Mu's shoulder, pursed his lips, and complained in a shy and low voice: "Husband, you can really hold it." ”

"It won't take much time, when I pass the New Year, I took the top prize, and then I received Zhi'en in May, and then you. During this time, I will be more diligent and let my wife conceive a child first...... Zhi'en is still young, and he will regenerate in two years," he hooked Wang Ou's chin and said, "Would you give me a big fat boy?" ”

"Hmm......" Wang Ou's voice was inaudible, and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Li Mu laughed, and his stomach suddenly screamed. Wang Ou hurriedly asked the maid to bring food over, Li Mu was full of food and drink, and he coexisted with Wang Ou for a while, borrowed a carriage from her, and rushed to heaven and earth.

He came to pick up Zheng's mother and daughter.

It's been two days, and the old days are almost gone. He can't let the Zheng mother and daughter stay in heaven and earth all the time, in fact, he brought the Zheng mother and daughter to heaven and earth to see Li Yuan, which is not a good thing. But when he saw Li Shimin yesterday, he didn't mention it, and he was confused. You can't be ashamed, it's time to take them where they should be.

Li Yuan and Zheng Guanyin also understood the truth of this, and even Li Mu didn't bother to talk too much, because Zheng Guanyin had already cleaned it up. She left all the gold and silver utensils she brought out in the treasury of heaven and earth, and only brought more than 100 yuan of money with her, and some Li Yourong went to find a tailor to make clothes for them yesterday, so she got into the carriage and followed Li Mu away.

Li Yuan felt sorry for his granddaughter, and before leaving, he brought a bunch of pastries and candied fruits, as well as two large food boxes, all of which were freshly cooked. This kind of jujube wood food box has the function of heat preservation, and if you eat it at night, you don't even need to heat it.

"Are you getting better?" After several incidents, Zheng Guanyin had completely regarded Li Mu as a nephew and was very concerned about his injuries.

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's already scabbed, it's okay." I'm young, and my wound heals quickly. ”

Although Zheng Guanyin was still not at ease, he couldn't let Li Mu take off his clothes and look at it, so he had to tell him to be more careful and not to touch the injured place. Li Mu felt strange in his heart, he had just come out of Wang Ou's. This Zheng Guanyin is a year younger than Wang Ou, and he asked clearly that day, Zheng Guanyin is called Wang Ou's 'sister'. In this way, have I not become her brother-in-law? It's kind of funny tight.

Li Mu thought about it in his heart, he was Zheng Guanyin's brother-in-law. is Li Jiancheng's brother-in-law, and Li Jiancheng is Li Shimin's brother, so he and Li Shimin are the same generation.

Thinking of this, Li Mu laughed. Li Wanshun, who was sitting opposite him, looked silly at him, and couldn't help laughing. Zheng Guanyin saw it and reproached: "Be docile, don't be rude." ”

Li Wanshun quickly pursed her lips and didn't dare to laugh.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly stopped and said to Zheng Guanyin: "Now that it is outside the palace, there are not so many rules. Children, cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh, if you take care of everything, you will not be happy in the future. ”

When Li Wanshun heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "Did my brother have a lot of happy things when he was a child?" ”

"I ......" is really difficult to answer, because Li Mu has two memories in his mind. One is his own memories of his childhood, and the other is the original memory of his current body. But in retrospect, it seems that there was nothing happy about these two memories of childhood. In his own childhood, before entering the orphanage, he wandered, picked up garbage, ate apples thrown by others, and experienced all kinds of tragic things, which was worse than Sanmao in "Sanmao Wanderings"! And the memory of this body is not much better. 's father died early, orphans and widows were angry everywhere, and they had to be squeezed by Bai Nao'er's 'in-laws'...... Combing through the memory of this body, the original Li Mu, the emotion that accounts for the largest proportion should be 'grief and indignation'.

But you can't talk about such negative energy with children, Li Muxian made up: "Naturally, I lived in Ma Yi when I was a child, have you heard of Ma Yi?" Out of the city gate is the grassland. As the saying goes, the sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, and as far as the eye can see, it is vast, just like your brother and my mind, so vast that the horses can gallop! ”

Li Wanyan laughed and said, "Brother is so good at talking big." ”

"Big talk?" Li Mu snorted and said, "Your brother and I never say big things, you remember, what you do, no matter how exaggerated it is, it's not a big talk." What has not been done, no matter how much it is not worth mentioning, is also a big talk. Like me, I was born in a small town like Mayi—do you know how big Mayi? There are not 200 households in a city, and it is very small. ”

Li Mu took out the style of 'reminiscing the past' and fooled Li Wanshun, an ignorant little girl: "I'm from a humble background, and now I'm a military marquis of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it a miracle?" Throughout the ages, whoever has done it, there is only one brother! ”

Zheng Guanyin also said: "That's true, Wanshun, Li Mu is a talented person." You can't be rude anymore, you know? ”

Li Wanshun nodded, glanced at Li Mu again, and suddenly said, "Brother, you are seventeen years old this year, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I'm eight years old."

"Eight years old is eight years old, what's wrong?"

"When you're twenty-four, shall I marry you?"

"......" Li Mu was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he opened the curtain and looked outside, and suddenly had an urge to jump out of the car. Zheng Guanyin was also embarrassed, and hurriedly reprimanded: "What nonsense is the child talking about? Can this kind of thing be nonsense? ”

"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't you teach me the way to repay favors? My brother rescued us from the cage, this is a great grace, I have nothing to repay him, I can only promise it with my body. ”

"You ......" The kid said reasonably, and Zheng Guanyin really couldn't think of anything to refute for a while. At this time, the younger one also shouted: "I will also marry my brother, brother, you will wait for me for ten years......"

Li Mu had a big head for a while, and said with a wry smile: "You two don't think nonsense, I am also in the royal family." We are the same family name of the same clan, we are cousins, we can't get married, understand? ”

The two children hurriedly looked at their mothers: "Mother, is it true?" ”

Zheng Guanyin thought in his heart, you are an outsider, you have to enter the clan, what kind of cousin are you a cousin. But in order to fool the child, he still nodded and said, "Yes, you can't get married." ”

The two children showed a disappointed look, and Li Mu patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
