Chapter 213: Hypocrisy
Sun came out of the back room and tidied up a little before opening the door and going out. I saw Li Chongyi blocking the door with his arms open, and one person blocked the door airtightly. Although Cheng Yanjin's figure is not small, in front of Li Chongyi, he is still compared, unless he opens his cheeks and collides directly, it is impossible to bypass Li Chongyi and enter the door.
"Big man, get out of the way."
Sun married Tang Jian for half a year, and she is no longer the hard-working woman in the original Mayi City, the so-called "living and moving the body, raising and moving the qi", the difference in status and environment has changed her temperament.
Li Chongyi heard Sun's voice, glanced back, and honestly got out of the way. Li Mu has said more than once that everyone in the family must respect the old lady. Even if the old lady is wrong, you have to listen, if anything happens, he has the responsibility of being a son.
"The child is not sensible, which makes Su Guogong smile."
"Ah, it turned out that my sister-in-law was here, but I was reckless. I'm also worried about Li Mu, this kid, I received an order from His Majesty yesterday to block the four gates, monitor the imperial history, and I won't have time to visit, I came today, this bastard boy won't let me in, but I am angry! ”
Cheng Yanjin called Sun 'sister-in-law', which was from Tang Jian's side. Since the Sun family is married to Tang Jian, it is naturally 'married to the husband', and the relationship in all aspects cannot be discussed from the son's side.
"I'm worried about the country." Suddenly, Sun saw a woman behind Cheng Yanjin, and when the woman showed her face, Sun immediately changed to a surprised expression and said, "My sister is here too?" ”
The 'sister' in Sun's mouth is Wang Ou. Wang Ou is in Tongshanfang in Dongcheng, running the best silk shop in Chang'an City. Many of the clothes in her shop are unique colors that can't be bought in other shops. After Sun married Tang Jian, firstly, he came to the Juguo Mansion to make no money, and secondly, Li Mu also sent filial piety on a monthly basis. Sun's money on hand can't be spent at all, and in terms of dressing up, it is the best.
Wang Ou sells the best silk, so naturally she wants to patronize it. Wang Ou's eyes and ears are all over Chang'an, and he already knew that the Sun family was Li Mu's mother, so how could he not entertain him. Every time Sun went to buy something, Wang Ou would put down what he was doing and greet him personally. Half sold and half sent, but also accompanied by chatting. Sun is thirty-six, Wang Ou is thirty-two, and the difference between the two is only four years old. Although in terms of knowledge, the Sun family is out of the city and is remote, and Wang Ou, a beautiful lady, cannot be compared. But he couldn't stand Wang Ou's wishes, and after a few times, the two have become friends.
But Wang Ou never mentioned anything about Li Mu, and even Sun didn't know that she knew Li Mu. Seeing Wang Ou here today, Sun was also quite surprised.
Wang Ou came to visit Li Mu because he was thinking about his lover. But her generation is indeed a generation older than Li Mu. No matter where she goes, she is a generation older than Li Mu. She was the same generation and sister as Sun, but she was ...... with her son Thinking of this, Wang Ou was also a little embarrassed in his heart.
She really had no choice, and when she received the news that Li Mujindian vomited blood, Wang Ou's heart was already in chaos. If it weren't for the loyal servants around her who desperately dissuaded her last night, and received the news of Li Mu's awakening, she would have already killed all the imperial histories who bullied Li Mu!
Spending the night in worry and apprehension, Wang Ou couldn't stand the torment and went out early in the morning. But she also knows that because of the recent expansion of the store in Jingdongji, she is a little sensitive to Bai Qiaoqiao, and it is inconvenient to go directly to the door. went to Cheng Biting Jin's Mansion first, and dragged Cheng Biting Jin over as a shield.
Although Cheng Yanjin seems to be rough, his mind is thinner than an embroidery needle. Wang Ou's special concern for Li Mu several times has already made him vigilant. Today, Wang Ou is like this again, and he is even more sure of what he thinks in his heart. He wanted to persuade him, because he knew Li Shimin's thoughts about Wang Ou. The surname Li in this world, who would dare to touch the woman Li Shimin fancies? Cheng Yanjin was worried that Li Mu would live up to Wang Ou's friendship. And the age difference between the two is too much, which is too inappropriate in Cheng Yanjin's opinion.
But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't open his mouth again. Wang Ou's life is hard, and Cheng Biting Jin, who is a brother-in-law, knows it very clearly. Moreover, the Cheng family owes Wang Ou a favor, and over the years, Wang Ou has helped the Cheng family a lot in all aspects. It's no longer something that can be repaid with money, so after thinking about it all the way, Cheng Yanjin still didn't say anything. took out his housekeeping skills, pretended to be stupid, pretended not to know, and just took Wang Ou straight in through the back door.
Originally, with Wang Ou's astuteness, she could detect Cheng Biting Jin's abnormality. But now her heart is only on Li Mu, and Li Mu's voice is turned over and over in her mind along the way, thinking that Li Mu may die, she almost cried, how can she have the heart to take care of anything else.
Now that I saw the Sun family, although I was embarrassed, but fortunately, Wang Ou still remembered his identity, and bowed his head slightly implicitly and politely, and said: "Sister may not know, there is also business between the slave family and the Zhulu Hou, and there is a fur shop in Jingdongji, which is a business opened by the slave family and the Zhulu Hou. In addition to such a big thing, the slave family should also visit, the slave family came alone, it was inconvenient, and it happened that the brother-in-law was also coming, so the slave family came together. ”
Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes, what is this called, it is clear that you are dragging me here, okay?
"My sister has a heart, please come in. Su Guogong, please come in too. ”
Sun let the two into the house, glanced at Li Chongyi, and asked, "Big man, what about the child who is usually with you?" The one with the mask? ”
"He ......" Li Chongyi hesitated for a moment and said, "He went to get medicine for the boss." ”
"Oh," Sun said, not doubting him, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
With that, Sun entered the house. Li Chongyi sighed, he was originally a person who was not good at words, and it was really difficult for him to let him lie. Where is Dugu Jiu going to grab the medicine, yesterday Sun Simiao had already brought the medicine, and the small chai hu soup for the treatment of wind and cold prepared seven or eight pairs. This little chaihu soup, when you are sick, you drink it for treatment, and if you don't get sick, you dilute it and drink it for prevention, and there are more than 20 people in the Zhuluhou Mansion, and you can use it if you prepare a few more medicines.
Dugu Jiu went to run errands.
This morning, Li Zhien handed out a note, saying that Li Mu woke up last night and wrote it, asking Dugu Jiu and Li Chongyi to act according to the note. Explaining Li Chongyi's matter is to guard the door, and explaining Dugu Jiu's matter is to take revenge on Lu Zhilin.
How to retaliate, needless to say. After listening to Gao Gonggong's vivid introduction last night, they all knew what was going on. Li Mu only asked Dugu Jiu to go to Jingdong Ji to find Bai Hao'er and Ergou, like this, the chicken and the dog thief had to be in charge, and Ergou had to take action in person.
But this matter obviously can't be told to Sun, so Li Chongyi lied. In fact, selfishly, he wanted to avenge Li Mu even more. If he goes, it won't be Yexiang's solution. Like a culprit like Lu Zhilin, he must be split to relieve his anger.
It was precisely because of this that Li Mu didn't let him go.
Li Chongyi also knew, sighed, and the giant axe was on the ground, a little sullen.
Parvis.
Bai Qiaoqiao came to the lobby, and everyone who was waiting anxiously hurriedly stood up, and hugged him and said, "How is Master Hou, can you wake up?" Do you have anything to say? ”
Looking at the anxious faces of these people, Bai Qiaoqiao had no apology in her heart, these people really did the same as her husband thought, they didn't come to visit, but for their own interests.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiaoqiao's attitude also changed. She gave a salute first, no matter what, even if it is hypocritical, people also come in the name of visiting the sick, and the number of etiquette should not be neglected, especially the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Qi, both of whom are members of the three grades in the court, the respect of the prime minister, one came on weekdays, and they couldn't wait to greet each other, and now the two of them came together, if they lost the courtesy, they would be poked in the backbone.
"Seniors, my husband woke up once last night, drank the medicine and fell asleep again. I said a few words, but the preface didn't match the afterword, and I didn't understand what it meant. ”
Wang Qi hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it?" With so many people present, maybe everyone brainstormed and guessed a few points? ”
"This ......" Bai Qiaoqiao hesitated, nodded, and said, "Husband said...... Chilling,"
"Chilling?"
Everyone's hearts are cold, isn't it cold. Yesterday in the main hall, when Lu Zhilin accused Li Mu in tears, no one questioned him, and they all felt that he was a person who could do things like throwing dung. In the end, the truth was ascertained, but Lu Zhilin had no evidence at all, and he slandered with empty words and white teeth. Li Mu has suffered an injustice, who can not be cold?
Wang Jue's face was embarrassed, and he deliberately didn't mention it, and asked, "What else did you say?" ”
The husband was very excited and said...... He must take revenge! ”
Avenge?
Tut-tut, it's really his character. Everyone remembered that not long ago, the unlucky imperial history brought Li Mu's mother Sun in his words, Li Mu didn't say a word, smashed the wall of Dali Temple, broke in and killed people. Happy revenge, like a ranger! Such a hot-tempered person, if it weren't for the unfavorable years, brain disease and wind cold, and his body vomited blood, I'm afraid that Lu Zhilin's mansion would be bleeding like a river today!
All the people present were Sven, and they didn't want to get their hands dirty. They are more concerned about money, the money that belongs to them, the two hundred runs that were 'looted' by Li Mu, and now they are still in the ice cellar of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the business of these two companies. Now, even if the money is returned to them, they are not willing.
First, in order to raise money according to the time stipulated by Li Mu, many people sold their belongings. Even if everyone is noble, they all have property. But in this era, most of the property was land. How can there be so much cash, Li Mu opened his mouth to hundreds of thousands, and many people couldn't make it up, so they had to sell their land. Because they are urgent, they are all sold at a discount. Now that the money is exchanged, it can't buy back and sell so much land, and who can be happy to pay back and forth?
Moreover, when Li Mu painted the prospects of the two companies, the pie he painted was too tempting. It is clear that it is an early investment, and future generations will earn money forever, and they will earn money lying down. Who can resist such a temptation? If Li Mu leaves it alone, who will pay for this loss?
Seeing that he asked twice, but didn't hear what he wanted, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help it, and took the conversation and asked, "He didn't say anything else?" Let's say this company......"
"Ahh Bai Qiaoqiao seemed to have just remembered it, and said, "I said what my uncle said." I almost forgot about it, my husband said that he had a long memory this time, and he would never care about outsiders' affairs in the future. There is no shortage of money at home, he is dedicated to helping others earn money, and he is so stupid to stand by and watch when he encounters things. When he is better, we will move out of Chang'an City and choose a place to build a house in the suburbs, away from the rights and wrongs of the court. There is a wine shop at home, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Live in peace, that's it. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone panicked.
It's over, it's over, it's broken, it's broken! This time, Li Mu, this kid, I'm afraid he was really sad, and he actually wanted to leave Chang'an City and go to the suburbs to be a hermit! How good is that? He patted his ass and left, and there was a bashang liquor shop. What can we do with the rest of us? His winery is a cornucopia, with tens of thousands of yuan per month, and we invest so much money, aren't we going to waste?
Someone hurriedly said: "You can't be like this!" He left it alone, what can we do about our losses, no, no, you let him come out and give us an explanation! ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately responded. There was a commotion in the lobby, and what Bai Qiaoqiao said was all taught by Li Mu sentence by sentence, she had never seen such a scene, and she was suddenly frightened.
When he was in a panic, Tang Jian came and shouted: "Is there any shame in waiting?!" When he had an accident, you stood by and watched, and now people are still unconscious, and you will start shouting! If you are like this, it is indispensable for me, who is a stepfather, to participate in a book on behalf of Li Mu tomorrow, please let Your Majesty call the shots! ”
When everyone saw Tang Jian, many people were afraid of him and didn't dare to make a mistake. Some people were frightened by Tang Jian's saying that he wanted to participate in the performance, and they all saw yesterday's scene. For the sake of Li Mu, Li Shimin said that he would kill the imperial history and accompany the funeral. It can be seen how important Li Mu is in his heart, Tang Jian participated in their excerpts and handed them over, Li Shimin's attitude can be imagined.
Wang Jue was not afraid of Tang Jian, seeing him so righteous and upright, he said leisurely: "Tang Shangshu, do you still remember that you are Li Mu's stepfather?" Yesterday, the old man didn't see you speak up? It's a shame to be a good person today! ”
Tang Jian's face flushed, but he couldn't tell the difference. Wang Jue and Eldest Sun Wuji looked at each other, and Eldest Sun Wuji turned around and said: "Things have to be solved after all, but not at this time, Li Mu is recuperating now, a big matter, and those of us who are elders are waiting for me." Today, you are here to visit the sick, so noisy and noisy, what kind of system, lose face. Put down the gifts and go back first. I and the king's servants will take care of everything, and I will be the two of them, but you can't believe it? ”
