The meal of Liu's house was very richly prepared, in order to feast Liu Luo, a villager of Xichao Village, set up three tables in the main hall, and the men in the village kept toasting Liu Luo, and the meal was very pleasant. The only hiccup was that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family ate a lot of pastries in the afternoon, and at dinner, she stared at the table full of delicious and fragrant delicacies and swallowed her saliva, but she couldn't eat anything. In the end, she was carried back to her room, where she had eaten too much and was broken.

Yang Gen found Li Mu to apologize, and Li Mu comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, our Xichao Village is too hard, and it is inevitable that it will be like this when we have a hearty meal once." Father-in-law and rest assured, Liu Yuan passed on Langzhong, and he came over to take a look at his sister-in-law in a while. ”

Nothing was said all night, early the next morning. After breakfast, Man'er took Wanniang to the market. Liu Luo instructed the housekeeper to send the things he bought yesterday back to Li Mu's house in Xichao Village, and sent ten craftsmen with good skills to Li Mu to send them. The village chief and others also followed back, although Liu Yuanwai repeatedly retained, they still felt awkward to stay here, and the golden nest and silver nest were not as good as their own kennels.

Before leaving, Liu Luo prepared a lot of gifts for the villagers, from cloth to gift boxes, loaded a whole car, and told them: "This time you are in a hurry, if Liu has any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope that you will be in Haihan." Some small courtesy, not respect. If he has time to come back as a guest in the future, Liu Mansion welcomes you at any time. ”

Li Mu nodded secretly, to the countryman, no wonder his business can be so big. He is a gentleman.

Li Mu stayed in Liu's Mansion for five days, and he could only rest for a while every day when he was eating, and the rest of the time he spent teaching Liu Luo to make wooden stakes. Liu Luo's qualifications in martial arts are very high, and he memorized all the one hundred and eight techniques of Wing Chun in four days, Li Mu has nothing to teach, and the rest is that he practiced diligently.

Wan Niang has not been idle these days, in addition to being busy shopping, she also took a carriage back to Xichao Village with Man'er halfway, this girl was nervous, and she was relieved to take a look at it.

This time, the home decoration cost a total of more than 300 taels of silver, all the tables, chairs and cabinets are made of high-quality solid wood, and all the large flower carpets on the ground are of high grade. The money was all from Liu's house, and Li Mu accepted it without excuses. It is worth mentioning that the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion bought a few subordinates for Li Mu's new house, and they signed a deed of sale, so they didn't need to pay for their work, they just needed to take care of the food. The two Yahuan are a pair of twins, twelve or thirteen years old, they look quite peugeot, and Wan Niang named them Dongmei and Xia He. A small guy will point to the style and use it to watch the door and nursery. There is also a housekeeper, who is the apprentice of the big housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, who has been brought for more than a year, and he is quite clever, and he can explain to him if there is a big or small matter in the family in the future. The name of the little guy was built by Li Mu when he looked at the wooden man of Liu's Mansion, and it was called a pile. The apprentice of the big housekeeper of the Liu Mansion used to have a name, called Su Shan, and the young man was probably the same age as Li Mu, with bright eyes, and he was very clever when he looked at it.

Before leaving, Man'er took Wan Niang's hand, and the sisters cried pear blossoms with rain. Man'er even gave her carriage to Wanniang, she felt sorry for her sister that it was too hard to walk all the way back. Li Mu and Liu Luo straightened their foreheads, and the feelings between women were really not something that a rough person like them could understand.

On the way back, Li Mu and Wanniang sat in the carriage and took a nap, Dongmei and Xia He waited on the side, the little stake drove the car, and the housekeeper Su Shan sat in the co-pilot. With the strength of his feet, it only took about half an hour to return to Xichao Village.

The courtyard of the small thatched house was too small to stop the carriage, Li Mu commanded the stake to drive the carriage to the new house and stopped, and when he got out of the car, he saw that the house had basically been repaired, which was completely different from the first time he saw it.

High-end, atmospheric, high-grade.

Before entering the door, the village chief greeted him with a smile and said, "You can live in today, I let people warm the room yesterday, no problem." ”

After thanking him, Li Mu took Wan Niang's hand and walked into the house, solemn and elegant without losing the mood, a few plum blossoms are blooming, so that the whole house is full of vitality. Under the guidance of craftsmen, several villagers brought back pieces of large bluestones from outside, and after polishing by craftsmen, they were placed in the middle of the fish pond, which was a rockery. It's antique and looks very beautiful.

Li Mu turned around and called Su Shan, asking him to prepare red envelopes for the villagers who had come to help every day recently, and to give more for more work, and let him ask the village chief for details. After instructing Su Shan, he found Erxi again, and said: "Brother Xizi, you inform all families in the village, everyone has worked hard for me and Wanniang's new house recently, and the new house has been completed, please come over as guests, and I will set up a banquet in the courtyard tonight." ”

Erxi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ah Mu, you are becoming more and more of a superior person, yes, I will go and inform him." ”

When Erxi left, Li Mucai touched his nose and was secretly surprised. Yes, he used to discuss everything with the village chief and Erxi, and now he began to talk to the two of them in a commanding tone. The most important thing is that these two people still served him silently without regrets, and did not bother with him because of this.

He knew that it was not that he had changed, but that the nature of the dream that he had deliberately hidden gradually came to the surface.

After noon, after lunch, Li Mu and Wan Niang went back to their room. This room is very large, a door is a foyer, beyond the foyer is the main hall, in the middle of the main hall is a long wooden table, on both sides of the table longitudinally placed two Taishi chairs, on the table there is a set of teapots and porcelain cups, on the wall hung a picture of a middle-aged man in silver armor galloping on a horse. He held the reins in his left hand and a heavy sword in his right hand, and his eyes flashed with essence, giving people a killing aura that was not angry and self-threatening. This person is the founding emperor of the Great Xia Empire, the first emperor to dominate the world - Nanmen Jingshan.

When I opened the second door and entered the bedroom, I saw a round table made of red pine and three solid wooden stools. At the very back was a bed with a curtain. The bedroom has a wardrobe, a desk and a dresser in the four corners, a window on the wall and curtains on the window. The overall look gives a warm feeling.

"How's that, husband, I've got someone to set it up. Wanniang proudly raised her little face, as if she was asking for credit. Li Mu suddenly became embarrassed and hugged her horizontally in her arms, and Wanniang exclaimed in fright. Li Mu carried her to the big bed in a bad way, pulled the quilt and threw it in.

Wan Niang slept in a soft big bed for the first time, and there was a thick and soft quilt pressed on her body, which was very comfortable. Seeing that her husband was about to fall asleep with a pillow, Wan Niang was unwilling, she arched and arched, and got into Li Mu's arms, Li Mu grabbed her shoulders in a daze, Wan Niang was immediately satisfied, docile like a kitten.

The fire in the fireplace in the room was blazing, and the bedroom with the curtains closed was red, this warm color was the most likely to make people feel sleepy, and the two of them slept for about an hour and a half, and when they woke up, it was dark outside.

The house was busy, but it was orderly, Su Shan was busy sweating profusely, and the stakes were busy with his feet not touching the ground, there were only two cooks among the craftsmen who came to help, and their job was to cook for the workers.

In the whole house, except for Li Mu and his wife, who have only gotten up until now from a nap, Dongmei and Xia He, the two little girls, are the most leisurely, they are Wan Niang's maids, and Su Shan does not dare to command them to work. They spent the afternoon at the bedroom door while the master was napping. At this time, I heard a noise in the bedroom, and the two little girls immediately came to their senses.

"Madam, will you let the slave maid serve you to freshen up?" asked Dongmei and Xia He through the bedroom door.

Wan Niang just woke up and glanced at her husband in a daze. Li Mu said to her: "Let Dongmei Xiahe accompany you, I'll go out and have a look first." After saying that, he quickly dressed himself before letting the two maids at the door in. Dongmei and Xia He timidly lowered their heads and said, "Master." ”

Li Mu was already accustomed to using Yahuan when he was a guest in Liu's Mansion, but he didn't feel uncomfortable, nodded, and went out after a few words. When he passed by the main hall, he couldn't help but glance at the portrait of Jingshan at the South Gate on the wall. When he heard about the legend, he was still in the night of the slash.

It is said that the founding emperor made a ring horse when he was young, and later took his brothers to join Xia Xiuyuan's rebel army. With the defeat of Xia Xiuyuan's army, Jingshan in the south gate gathered the remnants of Xia Xiuyuan's rebel army, and led them all the way to the south and the north to fight, nine deaths, and conquered the rivers and mountains of the Great Xia Empire.

However, in history, people's impression of this founding emperor is very vague, and there is not a single word left in the history books to describe this founding emperor. Together with his subordinates, the generals who followed him to expand the territory, it is said that among these people there were more than a dozen hereditary archdukes, none of which were recorded in the history books.

However, Chopping Chen said that Nanmen Jingshan was not dead, and said that he had cultivated a unique internal strength Heart Sutra and had already touched the threshold of martial arts. At that time, this sentence almost scared Li Mu to pee. It has been 928 years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, if Jingshan in the south gate is still alive, wouldn't it have lived for a thousand years?

Can humans live a thousand years?

Are you kidding!

Internal cultivation can indeed have the effect of prolonging life, but if you want to say that you can extend your life to a thousand years old, you don't believe it if you kill him. However, when he saw the portrait of Jingshan at the South Gate today, he suddenly felt as if he believed it. He felt that such a legendary man should not have died in such obscurity.

......

Wan Niang freshened up and saw her husband standing in the small hall stunned, came up to hold his arm, and looked at the portrait of Jingshan at the South Gate with him, she frowned: It seems that this man on horseback is nothing special.

Li Mu took a breath, unconsciously looking here for so long, his eyes were a little sour. Pulled Wan Niang out of the room, now the whole village is empty, all the villagers are gathered here, and the courtyard of more than 200 square meters is crowded.

The village chief said to the villagers: Today is the most commemorative day in the history of Xichao Village. Therefore, before the feast was opened, the villagers drank several jars of wine.
