As night falls, the lights come on.

The prosperity of the capital of the Hai'an Empire is beyond the reach of the Great Xia Empire. Li Mu walked on the street, looking at the various industry chains, and sighed again and again: "Lao Jiang, do you know that when this place was first established, there was not even a room here. ”

Jiang Cheng had mixed feelings in his heart: "Senior brother, when I first met you, I knew that your identity was mysterious, and your cultivation was extremely high. Come home with you, and I will find out that you are such an amazing person!"

"Oh?" Li Mu smiled: "What's the great?"

Jiang Cheng spread out his hands: "Senior brother, you are a god." Everything you see in front of you is something you created. Including the people here, all of them are your people, and through you, they can live here so comfortably......"

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him, "Old Jiang, you are wrong. We talk as we go. The two of them took a step and walked down the bazaar on the main street towards Guozijian. Li Mudao: "There is not a single brick in these buildings you see, and a tile was added by my own hands. It's all the people you see, who have earned it for their hard work. In other words...... I'm just showing them the way, and this is the world that they're coming out of step by step. ”

Jiang Cheng thought thoughtfully: "Senior brother, what do you want to say?"

Li Mu stopped again and grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm: "What I want to say is: you should never be deceived by your own eyes. Many times, what you see is not necessarily the truth of the facts!"

"For example, ...... in front of you," Jiang Cheng muttered to himself.

After a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses. Li Mu patted him on the shoulder again: "It seems like a waste of your time to let you help me supervise the hundred officials, but in fact, this is the best of both worlds." Ostensibly you're working for me. It's a waste of your own cultivation time, yes, that's right, it's a fact. But this is not a good thing for you. After entering the Great Sage Realm, the main thing to cultivate is the mind. Only by maintaining a fair heart can we perfectly survive the demons of Xiang Wu's heart. ”

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, silently followed behind Li Mu, as if he was still thinking about what Li Mu's words meant.

Soon, the two arrived in the heart of the market. There was a stall in front of me, and there were many people on the inside and outside of the three floors. Li Mu took Jiang Cheng to the front, but found that it was Shentu Yingwei!

This guy is shirtless, sweating profusely, and is playing a set of boxing techniques!

What surprised Li Mu the most was that there was a Ding furnace in front of this guy. Filled with silver coins!

Roughly speaking, there are seven or eight taels of broken silver, and all the rest are coins, as many as two or three hundred!

Li Mu suddenly smiled when he looked at him.

"Senior brother, what are you laughing at?"

Li Mu pointed to the silver coins in the Ding furnace: "This guy exchanged all the ten taels of silver I gave him into scattered silver coins, and put these loose coins in the Ding furnace, giving passers-by an illusion: his boxing skills are very good, and he has already received so much reward!"

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized. Praise again and again: "What a cunning guy!"

"So I say to you, don't be deceived by your eyes. Both in the secular world. or the martial arts world, it's all the same. ”

Before the two left, Shentu Yingwei had just finished a set of boxing, and the onlookers immediately threw out the money for the money......

Walking further, Li Mu saw Tong Wenyao's stall again. This guy is the most direct. Just set up a table and write it...... Jiang Cheng pulled over a crowd watching the excitement, "What is he doing?"

"The Guozijian exam is about to start, and this son is betting on the question. As long as two taels of silver a piece, if it is similar to the exam questions. You can greatly improve the success rate. ”

Li Mu shook his head, ignored Tong Wenyao and continued to walk forward, just as he was about to return to Guozijian, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye...... This is the figure of a girl, and at the same time, she is also the only girl among the children of the princes and nobles this time, except for the Li family sisters!

The eldest daughter of the Imperial University scholar Gong Changjiang, Gong Meilin.

This little girl's face is full of mud, and the white gauze skirt has long been unrecognizable. At this time, she was squatting on the ground, shouting for the mountain oranges in the basket in front of her!

Li Mu twitched the corners of his mouth and stepped forward. Gong Meilin saw Li Mu coming over and hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "Dean." ”

Li Mu pointed to the mountain orange in front of her: "Where did you get these mountain oranges?"

Gong Meilin's face was a little red: "There is a mountain outside the north gate of the main city, and there is this kind of mountain orange ...... there."

Li Mu supported his forehead: "You are a big girl, wouldn't it be better to get some embroidery......?"

Gong Meilin's face turned even redder. Li Mu is not good to continue to talk deeply, if this hurts a girl's face, it will not be good if something happens. At this time, a beautiful sound of the piano came from not far away, and Li Mu and the others looked in the direction of the sound of the piano.

Gong Meilin said: "Dean, this is Cheng Leyi's ......"

Li Mu felt that his head was a little short-circuited. Girls climb mountains and trees to sell oranges, but boys play with seven rhythms......

"Hey, there's still half an hour, so toss it yourself. ”

After Li Mu said this, he walked into the Guozijian. and Jiang Cheng made tea and chatted. I have to say that Jiang Cheng has a very comprehensive understanding of Fengyang Continent. Among them, there is no lack of humanities and history of the mainland, and Li Mujin listens to it with relish. Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

All the candidates returned to the back garden of Guozijian as scheduled. Li Mu looked at them with a smile: "How is it?

"It's so profitable!" Li Cai'er threw a package on the table in front of Li Mu heartlessly, "This broken silver is so heavy, it's similar to aunts and grandmothers!"

Li Mu could clearly see the silver inside through the gap in the package. Roughly speaking, there are at least more than 100 taels! This amount of money, if it is changed to the time when it used to be Xichao Village, it is enough for a peasant household to earn for 50 years!

At that time, the yield of two acres of land was only two taels of silver!

Even if there is a good year, it is only two crops planted.

For the Li sisters, this money ...... It's really easy to earn!

Except for the Li sisters, everyone else shrugged their heads. Among them, except for the Li family sisters. The person who made the most money was Shentu Yingwei. This kid is performing on the streets, and he actually earned twelve taels in one afternoon!

Looking at other people, there are more or less differences, but what makes Li Mu puzzling the most is ......

Li Mu looked at the young man in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Young man." Can you tell me how you lost money?"

The young man had a bitter face: "I originally planned to go to the restaurant to lecture on books...... As he spoke, he was hungry......"

Li Mu rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Feelings, are you using this money to eat and drink?"

"I, I ......"

"Okay, okay......" Li Mu waved his hand: "It's dark this day, aren't you hungry? Hurry, your father called you home for dinner." ”

The species let out a burst of laughter.

Li Mu's eyes widened, and these people were immediately silenced.

I watched the boy leave. Li Mucai asked, "Whose son is he?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they were silent. Li Mu immediately felt that there seemed to be something he didn't know about here, he pointed to the son of the Imperial Vice Minister of Finance beside him, Fan Zeyu said, "Whose son is he?"

Fan Zeyu said embarrassedly: "Dean, he, he ......"

"Say!"

"He is the child of the eldest sister of the princess!"

Li Mu was dumbfounded: "The eldest sister of the princess?"

Suddenly, he remembered the members of Wan Niang's family. Like, I've never seen Wanniang's eldest sister before!

But. Wanniang is still lying on the hospital bed now, who introduced him?

I thought about it for a while. He didn't come up with a reason. He simply put this matter aside and began to count the results of this assessment. In the end, ten people were eliminated from the competition.

Just when everyone was waiting for the next assessment, Li Mu looked at the rest of the people and suddenly said, "There are still twenty-two of you left, and I don't want to go down the assessment anymore." Starting tomorrow, you will be the first batch of students of Guozijian. ”

The crowd immediately let out a cheer!

Admission to the National Prison. It has unspeakable benefits for their future careers!

Li Mu threw these guys in the Guozijian and returned to the palace alone. Standing at the door of the palace, Li Mu thought about it and went to Wan Niang's maiden house again. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the boy who had been eliminated just now!

"Hospital. The dean ......, "The young man has a yellow face and thin muscles, but his eyes are shining with stupidity.

Li Mu nodded, strode into the courtyard, and walked straight into the hall of the Yang family.

"Hey, my brother-in-law is here. ”

"Amu is here. ”

The Yang family was finishing their meal, and they were stunned when they saw Li Muquan coming in, and got up from their chairs at the same time. Li Mu's gaze stayed on the strange woman, "This is ......"

Old Man Yang Gen got up and introduced, "Ah Mu, I'll introduce you." This is my eldest daughter and Wan Niang's eldest sister. Just came back from the mainland two days ago. Wanling, this is Wanniang's husband, the prince of the Haiping Empire. ”

Wanling hurriedly greeted: "Brother-in-law is so ......"

Li Mu looked at Wanling carefully, Mo said that compared with Wanniang, even the huge lady couldn't be compared. Although the living conditions of the lady are average, she has never lacked food and drink, and the maintenance is quite fine. Look at Wanling's skin again, it is dark and rough, and at first glance, she looks like a person who is used to living a hard life!

Pang Kuo leaned behind Li Mu and explained in a low voice: "When I married Wanhui, the eldest sister was already married. I also saw it for the first time recently...... However, it is said that the eldest sister's husband was not early, and he was widowed many years ago, and he pulled the child to grow up alone......"

After Pang Kuo's reminder, Li Mu seemed to remember that Wan Niang had told him about her eldest sister's family conditions...... Since she woke up, the eldest sister has been widowed. In this way, her life is really not easy.

"Sit down, let's eat first, I'm hungry too. Li Mu greeted him, and Wanhui, a huge lady, brought dishes and chopsticks and helped him serve the meal.

Li Mu took the rice and began to swallow it heavily, "Today, after a busy day's work, I am hungry with my chest against my back." As soon as he said this, the restrained atmosphere suddenly dissipated.

Li Mu ate and said casually, "Where did the eldest sister live in the Great Xia Empire before?"

"Huaixi County. ”

"Huaixi County?" Li Mu stopped eating: "Then why didn't you move here a few years ago?"

Wanling said: "Our village is closed, and no news can be revealed. The Great Xia Empire was re-established, and we learned that the Great Xia Empire had fallen more than a year ago......"

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "That's really closed enough." Father-in-law, why didn't you bring your eldest sister back?"

Yang Zhankui said: "My brother-in-law doesn't know, our Xichao Village and their village have never been on good terms. Otherwise, Reiko would have gone back to her parents' house a long time ago......"

Li Mu smiled bitterly. Yang Gen sighed. said: "Wanling was able to come back this time, thanks to the fat general of Hai'an Mansion......"

Old man Yang Gen immediately told Li Mu the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that when Wanling heard that her sister had become the princess of the Haiping Empire, she thought it was a rumor at first. As time passed, people from the passing villages spread the story of Haihean Province.

In the end, Wanling finally believed the rumors, and she began to find ways to come to Hai'an Country.

Saying. That was two years ago!

It wasn't until a few days ago that she asked someone to contact Xue Jingshan, who was guarding Hai'an Mansion, and it was Xue Jingshan who brought her out of the village and sent someone to escort her to Hai'an Country!

As for Wanling's son......

The spirit is quite normal, but there is one less string than a normal person!

Therefore, when he signed up for Guozijian, Old Man Yang Gen personally sent him over. Old man Yang Gen does not have a title, but the child's aunt is the princess and nurse of the empire. Besides, the child's uncle-in-law is the prince of the empire!

Of course, the official in charge of Guozijian's registration did not dare to reject Yang Gen's application......

Wan Ling said: "General Xue has never believed that I am Wan Niang's eldest sister. Still, he sent me over. ”

Li Mu smiled: "It's nothing. The founding of Hai'an is fundamentally people-oriented. Even if you are not Wan Niang's eldest sister, seeing that you live in such a village, General Xue will rescue you. ”

As she spoke, Wanling's tears flowed down.

Li Mu raised his chopsticks: "Eat, eat first." ”

Meal.

After careful consideration, Li Mu proposed: "Let the child go to the Guozijian, there is no problem on my side." But you also know. The personnel who came out of the Guozi prison must embark on a career in office...... Well. In other words, the court is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. Do you feel comfortable putting your child on the job?"

The people were silent.

Li Mu continued: "If you don't embark on a career in office. After graduating, all his classmates entered the court as officials, and his heart will definitely leave a shadow. ”

"Ah Mu, how should this be?"

"Don't let him be idle, he will become a waste after a long time. Find him something to make a living...... Well, buy a shop. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time. But. This money......

The old man thinks that he has some savings in his family, but this money is definitely not enough to buy a shop. With the development of the capital of the Hai'an Empire, the value of the shops on the main streets of the Great Xia Empire is far more than that of the shops on the main streets of the capital in the Great Xia Empire!

For the last year. I don't know how many wealthy merchants in the Great Xia Empire sold their properties and immigrated to the Haiping Empire.

"What, what's the problem?"

Pang Kuo pulled the corner of Li Mu's clothes at the bottom, and whispered: "Silver ......"

Li Mu patted his head: "I'll give you the silver, how much silver is there in a shop now?"

Pang Kuo said: "The shops on the main street are divided into two types, one is small and the other is large. The small pattern is about 500 taels, and the large pattern is probably more than 1,000 taels. ”

"That's a lot of money. Li Mu sighed, and he suddenly remembered the package he got back, which was full of money earned by the students of Guozijian. He got up and found the package, opened it, and saw that there were almost seven or eight hundred taels of silver inside.

Li Mu frowned, and his gaze looked at Yang Gen: "Old man, do you have no deposit in your hand?"

Yang Gen smiled bitterly: "I have a hundred taels here." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Let's see if the silver is enough, if it's enough, buy a big store, and if it's not enough, buy a small store." The shop is your own home, there is no rent, and you can't starve to death at any time. ”

Li Mu got up and was about to leave, and as soon as he walked to the door, he turned around and came again: "Let's buy a big store, and I'll ask the stake to send you the silver ticket when you go back." ”

......

Li Mu returned to the palace and went directly to his home. To his surprise, Wan Niang woke up!

"Wan Niang!"

"Husband......" Wan Niang's voice was very weak.

Li Mu hurriedly came to the edge of the bed and stopped Wanniang, who was about to sit up, "Don't move, your body is still very weak now, and you need to rest." ”

Wan Niang licked her chapped lips: "Husband." Is Wan Niang going to die?"

"It's all right. The toxins have been eliminated, as long as you take care of your body, it won't take a year to recover as before. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Oh, by the way, I have a good event for you. Do you remember Wanling?"

Wan Niang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eldest sister?"

"That's right. It's the eldest sister. She and her son have already come to our Haiping Country, and now they are living at the old man's house. When you're better, I'll take you back to see her?"

Wan Niang struggled to get up from the bed: "Husband, Wan Niang wants to see the eldest sister now......"

Li Mu looked bitter, thought for a while and said to the palace maid beside him: "Go, borrow my second brother's Luanyu." ”

The palace maid's frightened face turned pale: "King, prince...... Luan, that's, that's ......"

"What's that. If you want to borrow it, you will borrow it. ”

The palace maid ran out with a panicked face. Li Mu began to dress up Wanniang. Although there are still some toxins in Wan Niang's body, there is no major harm to the body. The reason why she is so weak now...... It's all ghost doctors and live doctors, and those two old guys bleed Wanniang!

In less than two quarters of an hour, Li Mu had just put on Wan Niang's makeup, and the palace maid who served Wan Niang ran back again: "Lord, princess, Luan Yu is here." ”

Li Mu turned out Wanniang's fur and put it on her, and then carried her to Luan Yu at the door.

Luan Yu. This is the emperor's royal means of transportation in the palace. Sixteen little eunuchs carried Wan Niang and walked out of the palace smoothly......

It's not yet the first watch. It was when the nightlife of the capital was just beginning. Seeing Luan Yu walking out of the palace, all the people on the main streets were boiling!

This was the first time they had seen the Emperor's Luanyu!!

In this way, under the gaze of the people of the imperial capital, Luan Yu came all the way to Wan Niang's maiden house.

Mrs. Yang is holding a meeting with the family members to discuss what kind of store to buy...... Seeing Li Mu who went and returned, the whole family was stunned. And then. When they saw Luan Yu at the door, everyone stood on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning!

The five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the golden luanyu is really a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the momentum is extraordinary!

Li Mu hugged Wanniang down from Luan Yu and instructed the leading eunuch: "Wait here." He walked into the courtyard with Wanniang in his arms. Come into the room. Yang Cai felt sorry for her daughter, so she hurriedly took out a Taishi chair and spread a thick velvet blanket on it.

Wan Niang's voice was still so weak, "Eldest sister......"

The two sisters hugged and cried. Immediately afterwards, Wanhui also joined in, and the three sisters reunited after a long absence, crying as if they were tearful people.

Li Mu took out the silver ticket from his arms and gave it to Yang Gen: "Old man, here is a thousand taels." After buying the store tomorrow, choose a good item. ”

The old man agreed. At this time, Li Mu saw Pang Kuo and Yang Zhankui, brothers who came out of the inner hall. Through their figures, Li Mu's gaze was fixed on the table in the inner hall...... That's, mahjong?

Li Mu suddenly became interested, walked into the inner hall, picked up the mahjong on the table and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, brother-in-law, where did you do it?"

"How's the carpenter's doing, okay?"

"It's just that the material is a little light...... So, in a few days I'll ask Uncle Blacksmith to make another pair out of ivory. Hey, come in, let's play for a while. Their sisters are reunited, and you big men are joining in the fun. ”

Pang Kuo and Yang Zhankui brothers returned to the inner hall, and the four of them played mahjong so heartlessly......

......

Li Mu originally planned to go home that night, but Wan Niang said that she would not leave and that she must sleep with her eldest sister. Li Mu had no choice but to play Luanyu. Wan Niang and the three sisters slept together, and Li Mu could only sleep with Pang Kuo.

Li Mu didn't feel anything, but Pang Kuo changed the quilt cover and pillowcase from the inside to the outside. In his words: You can't wronged the prince.

The next day, Li Mu slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and when he got up, breakfast was ready.

Not to mention, after Wanniang returned home, her whole complexion looked much better.

Relatives, at all times, they will be relatives.

After breakfast, the men of the family were going to buy a shop, Li Mu followed them along the way, and after coming to the main street, he went straight to Guozijian.

At this time, all the students of Guozijian had arrived.

in the classroom. Li Mu picked up the brush and wrote nine rows of numbers on a huge piece of rice paper, and each row of numbers was longer than the previous row.

It's the ninety-nine multiplication formula. (To be continued.) )
