Chapter 441: Untying the Knot

Li Siwen was about to get married, so naturally he couldn't stay here anymore with Li Mu, and while he was drunk, he was taken back to the British Mansion by Li Zhen. At this time, the sun is falling, and the flowing water banquet has come to an end, some people are drunk and fall to the ground, some people still have the heart to take advantage, and they are reluctant to get off the table, and more people see that someone has begun to clean up the table, and I don't know where to find a clean cloth, spread it on the table, and pack the uneaten wine and meat away.

There was a helper who wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Li Mu. He is not a person who likes to waste, but the wine banquet is inevitably wasteful, and it is naturally a good thing for someone to want to pack it and take it home. It's the middle of winter, so you don't have to worry about flies, you won't get sick when you take your food home.

After explaining all the idle things to Ergou, Li Muhuang returned to Fengqiu Huang leisurely. Today, Jingdong is full of streets, and Fengqiuhuang has no business, which seems a little deserted. Li Mu stumbled in from the front door, almost tripped over the threshold, and suddenly a pair of hands held him, Li Mu looked up and saw that it was Wang Ou, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't you want to walk around?" Wang Ou smiled, leaned into Li Mu's ear, and whispered, "Zhi'en sent someone to find me." ”

"Huh?" Li Mu was stunned, frowned, and said, "Will she look for you?" ”

"It's said that you are a loser, you gave all the money to others, and you can't pass the New Year, you have to let me know." Wang Ou pursed his lips and said, "I brought 10,000 yuan, and Zhi'en is good to me now." ”

"......" Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, this housekeeper is really realistic.

Wang Ou helped Li Mu to sit down next to the chair, didn't explain anything, rubbed his swollen temples, and asked, "You also think I did something wrong?" ”

Wang Ou shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what Lang Jun's idea is, I know that Lang Jun will not make a loss-making deal. After all, Zhi'en is young, and it is normal for him to be worried when he can't think of the depths. ”

After a pause, Wang Ou said again: "I just admire Sister Qiaoqiao, she is so generous, I didn't expect it." ”

"Qiaoqiao," Li Mu smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao is not generous, but she doesn't care." When she was with me, we were still eating vegetable dumplings. Even now that I have money, she treats me the same way she did before. Li Mu raised his head, looked at Wang Ou, and said, "She is different from you, don't compare like this." ”

"I don't compare, I just envy Qiaoqiao." Wang Ou took Li Mu's hand and said, "I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated." I don't know if I can take a point in Lang Jun's heart? ”

"Not just one point, at least two points." Li Mu raised two fingers and said with a smile. He was most afraid that a talented woman like Wang Ou would be ill, and he really couldn't cope with it, so he changed the topic and said, "What about Qiaoqiao and Zhi'en?" Why don't you see them? ”

"They've gone to see my mother-in-law." Wang Ou's tone was quite resentful, and said: "Qiaoqiao invited me, but I think that my mother-in-law still doesn't know about you and me, and I don't know how to face her, so I didn't go with me." You can't blame me, do you? ”

"How can I blame you for this, it's really not time yet." Wang Ou didn't mention it, Li Mu almost forgot that there was still this stubble.

Li Mu's mother, Sun, is 36 years old in Chinese New Year's Eve. Although Li Mu already knew that Sun was not the mother of him, or the original "Li Mu" of this body. But at her age, in the era of Datang, it is very normal to have a seventeen-year-old son.

Wang Ou is the same age as Li Shimin, Chinese New Year's Eve this year. Not long after getting married, her husband vomited blood and died, and to this day, it is still a girl's family. But age will not change because of anything, she is thirty-two years old, only four years different from Sun, and the generation is the same, the two have met a few times, and they are all "sisters".

If all of a sudden, Wang Ou changed his words and called his mother-in-law. I don't know if the Sun family can accept it, even if it can accept it, if the shock is too big and it is inadvertently leaked out, so that Tang Jian knows, it will be a big deal.

Li Mu has always been respectful and distant towards Tang Jian. Although Tang Jian's style of action can be called a model of a gentleman. But because of his and Sun's affairs, Li Mu has always had a pimple in his heart. He was a human being for two lives, and finally had a mother, but he was "robbed" away. Although I later knew that this mother was not my mother, the knot in my heart could not be solved.

At that time, he didn't get in the way, it was all because of Sun. He could see that the Sun family wanted to marry Tang Jian. If he was really Sun's son, he might have stopped it, but he knew that he was a fake, so he didn't have this power. Later, he learned that the original Li Mu was also a "fake", which made him feel that it was right not to stop it at the beginning. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and in the era of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Jian's respect for the country and the ability to marry a people's daughter is also a matter that requires great courage. This alone is enough to entrust you with a lifetime.

But this can only show that Tang Jian is a gentleman and cannot represent anything else. Maybe he's still a fool? He was the first group of people to follow Li Yuan's uprising, and he couldn't know Li Shimin better, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he grew up. knew everything about Li Shimin when he was young, if he knew that Li Mu and Wang Ou were together, it was inevitable that Tang Jian would not worry about the Tang family at this time and go to tell Li Shimin.

When Li Mu was not ready, this was tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

Li Mu twisted his eyebrows and fell into deep thought. Wang Ou looked at him, and could guess the distress in his heart, and said softly: "Lang Jun doesn't need to worry, even if he doesn't have a name, as long as he can be with Lang Jun, the concubine is willing." ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "You are willing, but I can't." It is not easy for me to come to this world, I do not seek to dominate the world in this life, nor do I seek to leave a name in history, but I want to live an upright life. You are my lady, how can you not have a name? Don't worry, one day, I will make you my wife. ”

"Hmm." Wang Ou nodded and leaned on Li Mu's shoulder. Although she said this to Li Mu, she didn't have any confidence. But Li Mu's ability to say this was enough to make her happy.

She never doubted Li Mu's ability, but she had to distinguish who the opponent was. Li Shimin is not an ordinary person, he is an emperor. What the emperor means is that I am the only one in this world, how can Li Mu compete with him?

……

The wine was rising, and Li Mu had a terrible headache, so he took a nap on the bed in the study for a while accompanied by Wang Ou. Wang Ou helped him massage the meridian of his head, and fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up, most of the alcohol had disappeared, and Wang Ou's shadow was no longer visible beside him. Li Mu got up from the bed and saw a note on the table. Wang Ou has already gone back, and Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien have also returned, and she left a note to tell her.

Li Mu put on his clothes and came out of the study. I saw that the lights in the warehouse were on, and there were two figures in the shadows. Li Mu yawned and walked over, it was Li Zhien and Xiaozhu. Li Mu leaned against the door and watched the two of them order the goods. Li Zhien had clearly heard his footsteps, but he didn't look back, obviously still angry.

Finally waited for the goods to be finished, and Xiaozhu went out with the account book. Li Zhien turned around, glanced at Li Mu, pouted and was about to walk past him.

The distance between the two approached step by step, and Li Mu still leaned on the door frame, and did not speak, nor did he block it. Li Zhien glanced at him again, and seeing that he still didn't react, he couldn't help but be very disappointed, and silently followed behind Xiaozhu and walked past Li Mu.

Why did he ignore me? Why don't you coax me? It's easy to coax, just coax a little?

Li Zhien walked to the porch and watched Li Mu walk back to the bedroom from the warehouse, and beat the drum uneasily. The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt, and even made up a picture in my mind, Li Mu would not let her enter the house tonight, and she would be driven away tomorrow, and it would be impossible to get married......

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Li Zhien couldn't care about being angry anymore, and trotted after Li Mu.

Just as she was about to enter the room, she suddenly heard the sound of conversation coming from the room.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Lady, how is it good? Ji-eun got angry with me and stopped talking to me. ”

"It's not that you gave all the money to your brother-in-law, you don't want to think about it. Yesterday, I just said that we would get married together on the Shangyuan Festival. But you give all the money to your brother-in-law, what should you do with Zhien? Fortunately, Sister Ou sent 10,000 yuan today, otherwise Zhien's wedding dress would not have been bought. ”

"Ahh Li Mu suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that the reason for being angry is this!" ”

"Or else?"

"I thoughtβ€”well, if that's the reason, then I'm really to blame. How do you know I don't have any money? Tomorrow our Sihai Gambling House will open, from tomorrow, until the Shangyuan Festival, there is still a month. Can't make 100,000 yuan a month? Then my gambling house is open for nothing! ”

Bai Qiaoqiao said: "You know, Zhien doesn't know, is it wrong to be angry?" ”

"Yes, yes......"

Li Zhien saw the shadow inside through the window, Li Mu hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, and couldn't help puffing out his cheeks. I only heard Li Mu say again: "...... But lady, aren't you angry with me? In this way, it is still ignorant and ignorant. ”

Bai Qiaoqiao smiled: "I'm not angry with you, because I know that you are reluctant to let me suffer." It is impossible to completely care about the little brother-in-law and ignore the family. As for what you do, I don't bother to think about it. Ji-eun's temper is different from mine, and it can't be said that she is ignorant. Today, when my mother saw Zhi'en, she praised her. ”

"Little girls are just likable." Li Mu smiled and glanced out of the window, under the candlelight, the eavesdropping figure outside the window looked so eye-catching. In fact, this was what Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao discussed, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, just in time for Li Zhien to come over, you can hear the conversation between the two.

Bai Qiaoqiao asked at the right time: "But husband, what do you think, why are you so generous." Even if you want to give your brother-in-law a big gift, you don't need so much gold, right? ”

"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see through this." Li Mu said with a smile: "Etiquette, pay attention to courtesy. What is a gift exchange? It has to be the giver who can afford it, and the person who receives it can afford to get it back. So that both parties will feel happy, otherwise it will be a burden. ”

"I can afford such a big gift of ten thousand taels of gold, can the Qin family still afford it? I'm not underestimating Yi Guogong, even if Yi Guogong can afford it, he will have to sell his house and land. Is there such a marriage to a daughter? Therefore, he must not be able to pay it back. But the matter of marrying was brought up by him on his own initiative, and he couldn't help but accept it. It's not accepting, it's not accepting, and in the end I can only ask for a solution. ”

"I originally planned to donate this money to the Salesian Bureau. Years of war, coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River, have caused countless displaced people, including countless orphans. Even if it is 10,000 taels of gold, it is a drop in the bucket. But there is, and it's better than nothing. I believe that as life gets better and better, everyone can have the same mind as me, treat money like dung, take it out to help the hungry, and spend it on meaningful things. ”

Shepherd Li sighed and said, "There is no road in this world, and there are many people who walk, so there is a road." But people are like that, they like to walk the path that has already been walked, because it is relatively flat and there are no thorns. And the first one to wade through the thorns will surely be stabbed. Your husband and I are the first people to walk through the thorns, maybe no one can understand me now, but I believe that in the future, those homeless people and orphans who have been helped by me, they will thank me. ”

"Husband......" Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes were red, and he grabbed Li Mu's hand tightly, and said, "I know that my husband is a big husband who has the world in mind. ”

"Alas!" Shepherd Li sighed and said, "Only you, my beloved wife, can understand me like this." He glanced at the window again, and muttered, "Otherwise, concubine, it's not as good as a wifeβ€”"

Li Zhien couldn't hold it back, broke into the house in a few steps, and said, "I didn't say no, I ...... It's the same as Mrs., but the next time you donate, can you discuss it with us, even if it is, don't donate so much at once, keep less, the family still has to live. ”

The voice is getting quieter and quieter, and it seems unconfident.

Li Mu laughed, opened his other arm, hugged her in his arms, and said, "I'm not a fool, if I can't live a real life, am I still in the mood to care about others?" And it's not just about donating to orphans. is also to give Miss Qin an explanation, after all, Siwen's approach has made the family lose face. Even if you get married in desperation, there will definitely be estrangement in the future. But after today's incident, she also has face, and the mustard in her heart is also solved, after all, there are so many ladies in Chang'an City, and he is the only one who asks to marry. ”

Li Zhien muttered: "It made her out of the limelight." ”

"If you want to be in the limelight, how about teaching you to be in the limelight when it's the Metaverse Festival?"

"Don't!" Li Zhien hurriedly shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm just worried about money, and I don't want to be in the limelight." It's best to live a peaceful and stable life, what's the use of being in the limelight, and when the master and his wife get married, they are also safe and plain, and when I come to the limelight, I will be gossiped about, and my mother-in-law will also be angry, so I don't want it. ”
