The rooster crowed three times, and Li Mu was woken up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Well, Li Mu lied again.
Although it is now ancient, for ancient Chang'an, this Xinghuafang is also within the second ring of the modern capital.
Therefore, it is not the powerful or the scholars who live here, and it is impossible for a big rooster to crow three times and wake up Li Mu, not to mention that every mansion here covers an extremely wide area, and it is impossible to raise a big rooster for a house of tens of thousands of square meters.
Li Mu was woken up by letting Li Zhu'er and Li Ju'er wake up together.
Early in the morning, these two little girls, one with a copper basin with washing water, and the other with washing tools, knocked on Li Mu's bedroom door.
In this way, Li Mu was in a daze under the service of these two little girls, and enjoyed the first washing service in ancient times, and he was in a daze during the whole process, until Li Ju'er wanted to put his finger into his mouth.
"I said, Xiao Ju'er, what are you doing here, do you want to let Master Ben and I lick your fingers?" Take out the master's style, reprimand, must reprimand, this early in the morning, just play like this, and pay it back.
Li Ju'er, who looked aggrieved, looked at Li Mu and showed signs of crying.
"Don't cry, it's not okay to cry, why do you put your finger in Master Ben's mouth?" Li Mu cannot compromise on this point.
"The slave is cleaning the master's teeth." Li Ju'er lowered her head aggrievedly.
Khan, so rotten and corrupt? The ancient masters were so corrupt and corrupt? Didn't there be a tool for brushing teeth in ancient times?
"Well, don't you have any other tools to brush your teeth? What do you usually use to brush your teeth? Li Mu was very puzzled by this, not everyone would brush their teeth with their hands.
"Sir, we usually use a brushing tooth." Li Zhu'er, who was preparing other things, saw Li Mu's words, so he took out a tender white wooden stick from the tray brought by Li Ju'er and handed it over.
Looking at the wooden stick in front of him, Li Mu's heart collapsed, what the hell is this, did the ancients use this to brush their teeth?
Seeing Li Mu's face full of doubts, Li Zhu'er next to him explained: "Master, this is the young branch of the soaked willow, we usually use this to brush our teeth and rinse our mouths." ā
After listening to Li Zhu'er's explanation, Li Mu tried to try it in his mouth.
Okay, Li Mu gave up, threw the willow branch in his hand, and patted Li Ju'er's little head, which was still sad.
"Okay, it's okay if the master is wrong, but don't brush my teeth with your fingers next time, and bring you good things when I come back from the country of Bolai." Li Mu made up his mind, if Datang wants to change, it must start to change from his mansion.
"Hmm." Li Ju'er wiped her tears and nodded happily.
Seeing that Li Ju'er stopped crying, Li Mu washed his face in a daze, put on his big cloth, and prepared to go out.
"Sir." Li Zhu'er, who was cleaning up the toiletries, immediately shouted when she saw Li Mu's dress.
"What's wrong?"
Li Zhu'er put down the work in her hand and walked towards Li Mu, and Li Ju'er next to her also walked over when she saw this.
Li Mu looked at his body, no problem.
"What's wrong?"
Li Zhu'er took off the large cloth on Li Mu's body for Li Mu, and at the same time took the prepared and new clothes for Li Mu to wear.
"Master, you are already a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and you are no longer a remnant of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was here yesterday, and no one cares about your clothes."
"But not in the future."
"Hmm." Li Juer also nodded, expressing her very agreement.
"Why not?" Li Mu was puzzled, is there anything wrong with this?
"Master, although Datang is not too strict in terms of etiquette, it is all His Majesty's tolerance, but we can't really do it."
"Your Majesty usually wears clothes, no one dares to care, but when you want to come to the court, this etiquette is very standardized, this is like the master, you are in the inner courtyard of the house, no one cares how you wear clothes, and no one dares to care, because you are the master here, but if you go out, you have to pay attention."
Li Mu listened to what Li Zhu'er said in a daze, and Li Ju'er next to her also helped to pull the hem of her clothes from time to time, and he let the two girls fiddle with them like a hanger.
"The slave knows that the master is a remnant of the overseas Bolai Kingdom, and he doesn't know the rules of the Tang Dynasty too well, but these are only known to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and we know it, and outsiders will not know."
"In the Tang Dynasty, the people have the clothes of the people, the merchants have the clothes of the merchants, the scholars have the scholars, and the scholars naturally have the rules of the scholars."
Li Zhu'er folded the collar of the clothes for Li Mu and pressed them.
"In short, every different person in Datang has different specifications for etiquette and dressing."
"Oh." At this time, Li Mu only nodded mechanically and agreed.
"Welcome to the morning." The two girls who were waiting for Li Mu to get dressed said to Li Mu Wanfu.
"Hmm." Li Mu nodded. "No, no, what's wrong? Forget it or don't discuss this. ā
"What about Mei'er and Lan'er?" At this time, Li Mu found out that Mei'er was not there.
"Sister Mei'er and Sister Lan'er, take the housekeeper in the house early in the morning, go out of the house, and go to buy some people for the house, and Sister Mei'er in the morning, she ordered us to serve the master well and get up early." Li Zhu'er said.
After listening to Li Zhu'er's words, Li Mu didn't expect that this Li Mei'er still had the potential to be a housekeeper, or a management talent.
It seems that in the future, Li Mu will have a good helper in Datang.
"Zhu'er, Ju'er, do you know where this Chang'an City is lively?" Li Mu wants to find a place where he can open a store, and it is impossible to let Li Zhi's kid help him in everything in the future.
So opening a store is an important thing.
"What kind of place is the master looking for?" Li Zhu'er asked suspiciously.
"It's the kind of place where a lot of people come to buy things or go shopping, and there are also a lot of merchants who buy and sell things there." Li Mu described to Li Zhu'er.
"Oh, what the master is looking for must be the second square of East and West in Chang'an City." Li Zhu'er nodded.
"Reconciliation?" East and West Workshops? Li Mu was confused.
"East and West Erfang, in fact, I don't know too much, but when I was in the palace, I heard others say that the East and West Erfang in Chang'an City are specially opened for those merchants, and most of Xifang City is a gathering place for those who come to Datang from the Western Regions or Persians to do business."
"In Dongfang City, there are more shops opened by merchants in Datang, and most of them are relatively high-end shops."
"Hmm." Li Mu lowered his head and thought about the characteristics of these two markets, to put it bluntly, these two markets should be equivalent to, one is a hypermarket, that is, there is everything, and the price is cheap and expensive.
Dongfang City, on the other hand, is a gathering place for flagship stores, and in any case, it is a place where the rich go.
Where to set up shop is the question.
Li Mu, who thought about it, patted his head, no matter what, wouldn't it be good to open a family on both sides, anyway, the things he sells go up to the officials and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, and everyone does business.
As long as there is a profit.
"Master, the next person bought it back." Li Lan'er's voice came from outside the hospital.
"Master, it's Sister Mei'er and Sister Lan'er, they're back." Li Ju'er said happily.
