Hearing the footsteps of the eldest grandson, Wang Ou hurriedly pushed Li Mu away, wiped the rouge on his mouth with his fingers, and rearranged the veil. When the eldest grandson rushed into the house, the two of them had already sat down, pretending to look at the account books.

After climbing more than a dozen steps, Changsun Chong was already so tired that he was wheezing. I didn't care about the etiquette, so I held on to the table and sat down slowly. The maid brought a cup of tea, and the eldest grandson hurriedly took it, and he didn't care whether his mouth was hot or not, so he took a big sip.

"You, if you have time to follow me, you might as well lose weight."

The eldest grandson Chong finally took a breath and said, "I, I follow you in order to learn and learn skills." ”

"You're not my disciple, why should I teach you?"

The eldest grandson paused for a moment and said, "I—I can bow to you!" It's like Dugu Jiu! ”

"Whew!" Li Mu said mercilessly: "You still dare to compare with Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu's martial arts are strong and can protect me, you? What is there about you that deserves a high look from me? Say goodbye to me, think beautifully! ”

"How come I don't have merit!" The eldest grandson Chong blushed and said, "I can also be regarded as a full-...... reading of poetry and books."

"Oh, read poetry books, don't you? How are you and Kong Yingdabi? ”

The eldest grandson Chong was choked to death, and he almost lost his breath. The eldest grandson Chong also 'graduated' in Chongwen Hall, although he did not worship under Kong Yingda like Li Chengqian, but he was also a student of Kong Yingda. How dare the student say that he surpassed the teacher, and he himself knew that he was not as good as Kong Yingda.

Thinking of the past between Li Mu and Kong Yingda, what else can Changsun Chong say? Just like Li Mu himself said, he is a genius in Tianzhong, and Kong Yingda suffers in his hands, how can he compare?

But apart from reading poetry and books, what advantages do you have? The prince of Zhao Guogong? It seems that Li Mu will not take it into his eyes and be good at arithmetic? Compared with ordinary people, Changsun Chong has confidence. He is proficient in nine chapters of arithmetic, even if he goes to the imperial examination, he is confident that he will definitely be able to reach the first place in the Ming arithmetic department, but he knows that he is not as good as Li Tai in arithmetic, and Li Tai still asks Li Mu for advice.

Ruled out one option after another, Changsun Chong was a little depressed, and he suddenly found that he seemed to have no advantages in front of Li Mu except for being fat.

But the ability still has to be learned, the eldest grandson Chong gritted his teeth and blurted out: "I worship you as a teacher!" ”

"Worship me as a teacher?"

Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Fatty, I'm really surprised by your persistence, but are you confused?" We are the same generation, you worship me as a teacher, where do you put your father and your majesty? ”

"Let's go our separate ways." The eldest grandson Chongdao; "I respect you as a teacher, it's my own business, and it doesn't involve seniority."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, don't ......" Li Mu was about to refuse, but suddenly Wang Ou interjected and said, "Li Mu, don't be busy refusing first." ”

"Ah," Li Mu was a little confused, Wang Ou spoke for the eldest grandson Chong twice in a row, which made him a little confused, what is the situation?

Wang Ou said: "I see that the son of the world is so sincere, you don't want to refuse people thousands of miles away, let's give him a chance." ”

"Yes, you will take me as an apprentice. I know what you're worried about, and I can swear that I've respected you as a teacher all my life, and I will never do you any favor. ”

"This ......" Li Mu looked at Wang Ou, and Wang Ou gave him a look. Li Mu understood what Wang Ou meant, she said that it was inconvenient to say it now, and let him agree first.

Li Mu sighed and said, "Okay, for Mrs. Peony's sake, I can give you a chance." But you have to swear first, and you don't have to say bad things. You just have to swear that you won't use the skills I taught you to go against me. If you violate this oath......" Li Mu sneered, hiding the smile he was about to hold back, and said seriously: "If you break the oath, the ancestral tomb will explode." ”

It's this again! The eldest grandson rushed over 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart, and thought to himself, this person is sick. Do you have any special thoughts about other people's ancestral graves, why do you always look forward to the explosion of other people's ancestral graves!

But the words have come to such an extent that if you don't promise. That clearly wants to go against him, and he can refuse it. Eldest Sun Chong thought about it in his heart, as far as the current situation is concerned, in the short term, he really can't see the possibility of being an enemy with Li Mu. Even if there is such a day, what can such a child's vow be counted? Now that I've said it, can it really explode? It's ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Changsun Chong decisively knelt on the ground, faced the south, swore to the sky, and said loudly: "I, Changsun Chong, sincerely worship Luhou Li Mu as a teacher, if one day, betray the master, use the skills learned to be the enemy with it, the emperor will not bless it...... Ancestral graves, explosions, explosions. ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson Chong looked at Li Mu and said, "Is it okay?" ”

"It's not that simple."

Eldest Sun Chong's eyes widened suddenly, and he almost scolded. I swore on my knees, what else?!

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm not convinced, I'm angry, right?" It's okay, it's normal. But rules are rules, and just now I just said that I would give you a chance, and I didn't say that I would definitely accept you as an apprentice. If you don't pass my test, how can you be considered a successful apprentice? And even if I agree to accept you as an apprentice, if you don't come to the door for such a big thing as accepting an apprentice, you don't prepare six courtesies, you don't give you a bundle, and you will apprentice with empty white teeth, how can there be such a good thing? You get up first, get up and speak slowly. ”

The eldest grandson couldn't rush up, faced Li Mu, and said, "You say it first, what is the test?" ”

"It's really persistent." Li Mu sighed, smacked his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "You also know that I don't want to take you as an apprentice." So this test must be very difficult for you, are you sure you want to challenge? ”

"I'm already kneeling here, why should I retreat?"

"Good! This heart is a little angry with me. The corners of Li Mu's mouth slowly hooked, and said, "Then listen well, my test is...... At this time, there are still more than three months before the New Year, and you have lost 150 pounds in three months, if you can do it, I will take you as an apprentice! ”

Eldest Sun Chong was stupid, he didn't expect Li Mu's request to let him lose weight! What's going on!

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Are you surprised?" Letting you lose weight is for your own good. You see that you are like this now, you are wheezing after walking a few steps, how can you keep up with my pace and make a career? If you are my apprentice, I have to think about your health first, which is the attitude that Master should have. If you are not my apprentice, what does your fat death have to do with me? ”

"Don't think so badly of me, I've always been very good to my own people, don't you believe you to ask?" Li Mu pulled Changsun Chong up, bent down to help him dust off his legs, and said, "How many catties are now?" ”

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said, "I, I don't know, I haven't measured it." ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Mu smiled and said, "As long as you can lose one hundred and fifty catties, you will pass the test." It's really not good, when the time comes, take a knife and cut a little, you can't die. ”

The eldest grandson stared at him and said, "I can definitely reduce it!" You've waited! ”

"Okay, okay, wait," Li Mu said perfunctorily, pressed the eldest grandson Chong on the stool, sat down again, and said, "Now, you can't ask questions, but as a preparatory disciple, you can watch, watch how I deal with problems, and feel the gap between me and me." ”

The eldest grandson Chong was silent, and after coming into contact with Li Mu in the past few days, he had become accustomed to his arrogance.

Wang Ou pulled the topic back and said, "Li Mu, the fur shop is almost ready. I'm going to put an ad in Datang Daily, how do you think it's appropriate? ”

Changsun Chong suddenly pricked up his ears, and now Datang Daily has penetrated into the lives of the people of Chang'an, and the power of its propaganda is obvious to all. As long as it is advertised in Datang Daily, there is basically no need to worry about sales.

But if the thing being sold is fur, it's a different story.

Fur is expensive, and an ordinary fur can cost as little as fifty or sixty times, and as many as hundreds or thousands, which is not affordable for ordinary people. The white tiger skin on Li Mu's body is priceless in the market, and if it is sold at a price, at least he can change a house in Chang'an. What's the use of Datang Daily's publicity? What's the use of the people when they get the news? Can they afford it?

According to the idea of the eldest grandson, when opening a store in the East Market. The reputation of the East Market is outstanding, ordinary people will not go to the East Market to shop, and the people who can go to the East Market are all rich people. They saw the fur and might buy it.

Eldest Sun Chong thought in his heart, this time Li Mu was afraid that he was going to miss. Would you like to remind him? This thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and he vetoed it. Why do you have to remind him, isn't he very arrogant? See what to do when he eats deflated!

Where did Li Mu know that Eldest Sun Chong had so many thoughts in his heart, he frowned and thought about it, and said: "The advertisement is written like this, and the title and the deer hou will pay money!" ”

Wang Ou didn't understand and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"The deer marquis is making money!" Li Mu repeated it and continued: "The content is written like this, Zhuluhou felt that he had too much money and had nowhere to spend it, so he decided to play a game and send the money to everyone. Starting tomorrow, for three consecutive days, Datang Daily will publish three anagrams every day. Each anagram leads to a clue. Nine anagrams and nine clues, and if you crack these clues, you will know the location of one or several hidden treasures. Each treasure spot has money ranging from 10 to 100 yuan, and whoever finds it is his! In this event, the bounty totals 1,000 yuan, and after seven days, if there is still a treasure that has not been found, the remaining money will be used for a lottery, and the location of the lottery will ...... Right at the door of Jingdong Fur Shop! ”

Wang Ou was very puzzled at first, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "This method is wonderful, it's wonderful!" In this way, the people will spread the word of mouth for the sake of the bounty. And the nobles couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but come to Jingdong to see what was going on...... You're amazing! ”

The eldest grandson was dumbfounded, can you still play like this?!
