Li Mu has now gradually adapted to the life of Jianghu people. People are adrift in the rivers and lakes. That said, there are many more opportunities than ordinary life. Wu Jiao kept refusing, but under Li Mu's insistent request, she finally accepted the silver ticket. After all, it's one hundred taels, which is a lot of money for ordinary people. It's not easy to live in the city. Wu Jiao is also a wife now, so she naturally understands the hardships of running a family.

Li Mu suddenly pointed to the red apricot tree that was cut down in the corner of the wall, and quipped, "Why did this red apricot tree be cut down?"

Wu Jiao replied: "It's cut." I remember that before we got married, a wandering monk passed by here and said that this red apricot is here, and the feng shui is not good. Let's cut it off. ”

"Ha, Ali and I used to think it was a bit weird. This cut just right. Li Mu said.

"Ah Li?" Wu Jiao looked a little puzzled.

Li Mu smiled: "It's Jin Jing's nickname." ”

"Oh, I forgot. Wu Jiao covered her mouth and smiled, "Why didn't Jin Jing come with you?"

Li Mu said: "She has some things for the time being, and I will bring her over to catch up after a while." ”

"Well, I'll go and prepare some food and drinks, but I'll treat you well. Wu Jiao said with a smile. Li Mu looked at her very familiar with dealing with people, thinking back to last year, she was still a little timid. I can't help but sigh that people are indeed changing.

Li Mu was drinking tea in Lai Yunjun's yard, and Wu Jiao was busy in the back room, eating dinner. Li Mu stared blankly at the sunset, thinking about his own affairs.

As the sun gradually turned west, Lai Yunjun, the owner of the small courtyard, walked in from outside the door with a bookcase.

As soon as Lai Yunjun saw Li Mu, he was so excited that his bookbox fell to the ground. "Oops, Xiao Li. Li Mu smiled and nodded, "Brother Lai, where did you come from?" Lai Yunjun replied: "I found a teaching student in the academy." ”

"Teaching and educating people is very suitable for Brother Lai. Li Mu complimented.

Lai Yunjun hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this is not teaching and educating people. It's just that the Inner Mongolian children in the teaching workshop are enlightened. ”

"Ha, Brother Lai is humble. Li Mu snorted haha.

Lai Yunjun glanced him up and down, and said, "Last year, you followed Xiao Yi to the Dakun Gang, and then there was no news from you. Later, Xiao Leng also left, and my place became empty. ”

Hearing this, Li Mu teased: "So you can't bear the loneliness and marry Sister Jiao?" Lai Yunjun's face turned red, and he said with some annoyance: "What's the matter, what does it mean to be unbearable to be lonely? ”

Li Mu said this loudly, and Wu Jiao in the back room also heard it from the window, and after glancing at Li Mu slightly, she quietly closed the window. Li Mu took the opportunity to get close to Lai Yunjun and said, "Brother Lai, the dealer's business ......"

Lai Yunjun straightened his face and said, "After Grandpa Zhuang died, I dissolved the marriage contract with Xiao Zi. Now I don't have anything to do with the dealer anymore. ”

"It's a pity that the two families have a good relationship with three generations. Li Mu was a little embarrassed, but this was just a sigh, he was still on Lai Yunjun's side. However, that Zhuang Zi is arrogant and arrogant, so it's better to stay away from her. As he spoke, Li Mu seemed to remember something. "By the way, that Xu Hu and the Green Turtle Gang, did they come back to find it unhappy later?"

Lai Yunjun shook his head, "After you knocked the people back that day, Uncle Zhuang came forward, and they never came again." Now that I have broken my marriage contract with the dealer and married Gillian, I don't think they will come to harass me again. ”

"Hmm. Li Mu nodded vigorously, "If anyone dares to come now, it won't let them retreat as easily as they did at the beginning." ”

When Lai Yunjun heard this, he said, "Xiao Li, it's time to talk about me." Where did you go after that? I went to the Kun Gang to inquire about you, but you're gone. ”

Li Mu sighed and said, "That's a long story. Yi Fan and I have traveled all over the country in this year. We went to Lizhou, Shuzhou, Shengzhou, Jianzhou, Shuzhou. ”

Lai Yunjun was surprised: "Ah, you have been to so many places, what are you doing?"

Li Mu's face showed a look of helplessness, and he said two words concisely, "Escape." ”

Lai Yunjun glanced left and right, lowered his voice and asked, "But what did you do? Do you need me to help you?" Li Mu glanced at Lai Yunjun, and there was only the word sincerity in his eyes. You can see that he meant what he said. But what ability does he have to help himself? Li Mu thought about it, and he probably had to go to the dealer.

"Obviously, I just said that it has nothing to do with the dealer. Li Mu looked at Lai Yunjun, and a warm current surged in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay now." Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sit here safe and sound and drink tea and chat with you. ”

"That's good, that's good. Lai Yunjun breathed a sigh of relief, and then as if he had reacted to something, he smiled, "You still haven't told me what happened." ”

Li Mu shook his head and said, "It's better for Brother Lai not to know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't ask about it. Then it's okay for me to ask Xiao Jin about it, have you got her back?" Lai Yunjun cared about Shen Li.

Li Mu nodded vigorously and said, "It's back." Now she is in Yacheng, but she has been delayed by some things and cannot get out. I'll bring her with me next time. ”

Lai Yunjun said with relief: "That's good." It is also normal for couples to have conflicts. Just talk about it. ”

"yes, that's been said. Li Mu said this in his mouth, but what he thought in his heart was the bits and pieces with Shen Li. Now Shen Li is still in prison, but he can't find any way to save him, thinking of this, Li Mu is a little discouraged.

Lai Yunjun suddenly lowered his interest when he saw him, and frowned slightly. But Li Mu didn't want to say it, so he wouldn't force it. "It's about the same now, so you'll have dinner here tonight. It's okay to stay with me after eating. I'm still empty in those two rooms. ”

Li Mu said: "Of course it's okay to eat, but I have to go back at night." ”

When Lai Yunjun heard this, he thought that Li Mu was going back to Shen Li. So he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I forgot about this stubble." ”

The two chatted in the courtyard for a while. After a while, Wu Jiao finished the meal. The three of them sat on a stone table in the courtyard and ate dinner. Li Mu naturally praised Wu Jiao's craftsmanship, but Wu Jiao was just modest.

Taking advantage of Li Musheng's second bowl of rice, Wu Jiao leaned on Lai Yunjun and said in his ear: "Husband, Li Xi gave me a silver ticket of one hundred taels just now. Lai Yunjun took the chopsticks and paused his hand, revealing a shocked expression. "What did you say?" Wu Jiao took out the previously collected silver ticket from her arms and handed it to Lai Yunjun.

Lai Yunjun's hands trembled.

Li Mu sat down on the stool with his rice bowl in his hand, and knew what they wanted to say when he saw the expressions of Lai Yunjun and Wu Jiao. He picked up the chopsticks and said, "Brother Lai, don't refuse, this is a little bit of my heart." ”

"It's too precious. I can't ask for it. Lai Yunjun said. Li Mu said with a smile: "A silver ticket is very light. Besides, this is not what I mean alone, and Yi Fan's mind is in it. We don't have a congratulatory gift for you to get married, so don't let us be upset. Lai Yunjun still refused, but Li Mu said that he would not come back. He said a lot of things, and finally let Lai Yunjun accept the silver ticket for this chapter.

After dinner, Li Mu said goodbye to Lai Yunjun and his wife. He was now ready to go back to the Dongshan County Palace. In the summer, it always gets dark late, and even after eating, the sky is still bright.

Li Mu returned to the Dongshan County Mansion in a carriage carrying passengers, and directly entered the Juxian Village in the palace from the west gate. Before he could return to the building where he lived, a man from the palace greeted him. "Lord Wan Ting, please. ”

When Li Mu heard the news, he immediately frowned. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this Louting County Lord's gourd, Li Mu always has a feeling that she is very hostile to herself. However, now that he is a guest of the county king's mansion, there is no reason to disobey. So I had to follow the next person.

Juxianzhuang is in the west, and the place where the lord of Wanting is located is in the back garden of the palace. Li Mu followed the guide and turned left and right, walked through the corridor and pavilion, and walked for a long time before coming to the back garden.

In the garden, the scent of summer flowers mixes with the smell of the sun baking the earth. In the middle of the garden, a fine woolen carpet was laid on the ground, and there were several tables on the carpet. On the table are some seasonal melons and fruits and pastries.

The county lord of Huanting and the eldest lady of the Huang family, Huang Yihuan, were each sitting in front of a desk, holding melons and fruits in their hands, looking at Li Mu who was present. Around them, dozens of women were standing aside. Among them, Li Mu saw Chen Yuan, who was alias Peony.

Li Mu walked up to the two of them and bowed. "The villain has seen the county lord and Miss Huang. ”

The county lord of Huanting looked at Li Mu with interest, she didn't talk to Li Mu, but said to Huang Yihuan beside her: "Huanhuan, look, it's this person, right?"

"yes. It's a pity that this person is just a helper, not that person. Huang Yihuan looked at Li Mu and said coldly.

Li Mu stood in place and did not speak. He suddenly felt Chen Yuan's gaze fall on him. Li Mu raised his eyes, but Chen Yuan quickly lowered his head.

Faced with this situation, Li Mu was a little confused.
