Chapter 134

While Li Mu was talking to the doorman, British Prince Li Zhen also received the news and came to the door to greet him.

Li Mu met Li Zhen a few times, but never said a few words. The impression Li Zhen gave him was like a nerd from later generations, holding books all day long and not caring about things other than reading. Li Mu had attended Li Ji's family banquet several times, and had never heard Li Zhen speak during the meal. He always ate silently and left after he finished eating, because he had to hurry up and prepare for the imperial examination for the next year.

In fact, he didn't have to do this at all. He was the eldest son of the British prince and Li Ji. He could inherit the title regardless of whether he had talent or not. Moreover, from his name, it can be seen that Li Ji actually hoped that his eldest son could inherit his martial arts honors. But he was not as good as others. The one named "Zhen" was a weak scholar. The one named "Wen", but he didn't even want to read the books.

There was no embarrassment when the two met. Perhaps Li Zhen did not think too complicatedly in his heart. Li Mu was Li Siwen's righteous brother, and that was a relative in the family, just friends from his peers.

Li Mu could see that Li Zhen had cried a lot not long ago, his eyes were a little red and swollen. Li Mu didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to be careful of his words and deeds and not arouse his sad things.

The two of them came to the lobby. To Li Mu's surprise, Li Zhen actually asked his servants to serve tea. Seeing Li Mu's expression, Li Zhen was embarrassed and said, "The Marquis laughed. Last time the business in heaven and earth was opened, I also went with my father. After drinking this tea, I listened to the waiter's introduction. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. The tea tastes sweet and bitter, and it is like the taste of life. Today, I have recognized three points more..."

After a pause, Li Zhen continued, "This tea was bought from heaven and earth. I thought you would like it, so I took it out to entertain you. I usually can't bear to drink it myself, so it's really expensive."

Li Zhen's tone was plain, without any complaints, nor did he want to use his relationship to ask for it, and he was just talking about a fact. This attitude made Li Mu quite appreciate it. People say that a tiger father has no dog son. Although Li Zhen was protected by his father and his personality, he had never been famous, but he was able to deal with people, at least he was much better than that boy Tang Guan.

"Since you like it, I will send you a few pounds tomorrow. If you need it, tell me, don't see you."

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "When my father left, he told me that there is no big deal, don't bother you. I think so too. Now I am the only one in my family, and everyone else has gone to Bingzhou with my father. I have no hobbies, I can only study. You don't have to bother with me and have nothing to lack."

After Li Zhen said this, Li Mu couldn't say anything more. After chatting for a few more words, the two of them were not in high spirits, so they said goodbye and left. Li Zhen kept sending him to the door, watching Li Mu's carriage walk away before turning back. The door was closed immediately, and the mansion had changed to the person in charge, and his style of conduct was different.

Li Mu was sitting in the carriage and his mood fell to the bottom. He didn't want this mood to affect his family, so he told Li Chongyi not to go home first and go to heaven and earth for a while.

The business in heaven and earth is still very bad, with a few tables. Eunuch Chen was frowning and squatting in the corner and sighing. Seeing Li Mu coming, he quickly came up and said, "Mr. Marquis, you have finally come. Think of a solution. Now the business is getting worse and worse. Today, I have only earned more than ten yuan. I can't even make money from buying vegetables!"

"I'm in a bad mood today and my brain is not good enough. Please don't bother me."

Li Mu waved his hand, and Eunuch Chen was stunned and dared not speak anymore. Although Li Mu has always been kind to others, he has never spoken to him in such a tone. But Eunuch Chen himself knew in his heart that Li Mu was the Marquis, the Supreme Emperor's age-lost friend, and the popular man in front of the current emperor. People don't show off their airs to appreciate their faces, but it is a sin to be arrogant.

Seeing that Li Mu's face was indeed ugly, he didn't dare to complain anymore. He was careful to be by his side, and did not dare to show off his anger.

When Li Mu saw him, he felt that it seemed a bit too much. After all, Suli had a good relationship. He adjusted his emotions and took the words back a little, saying, "When these two tables are finished, I will take a break today. In two days, I will think of a way, and the business will definitely get better." As he said, Li Mu ‘exchanged’ some money from the system, took it out of his sleeve, and handed it to Mr. Chen, saying, "Take the money, today I treat you, make some delicious food, regardless of the high or low, and set a water mat. No one comes to eat, let's eat ourselves. We can spend a few dollars on eating and drinking, just be happy!"

Old Man Chen took the money in his hand and almost couldn't catch it. When he looked closely, he realized that it was gold. He couldn't help but wonder, how did such a heavy gold be placed in his sleeve? Could it be that the Marquis's "strange costume" made a special pocket on his sleeve?

He thought about his head, and he couldn't think of the existence of the system. Li Mu could not explain it to him, and he didn't dare to ask. He took the gold and called a few people to go out to buy it.

Li Mu walked upstairs to the private room. When he was fine, Li Yuan didn't like to stay on the fifth floor. The place was too high and not down-to-earth. When people got old, they were always lonely and felt at ease when they looked at people. Therefore, the place he often stayed in was the private room on the north side of the second floor, drinking tea and playing chess. With Li Yourong taking care of him, he was happy.

When Li Mu pushed open the door and came in, Li Yuan made a wrong move and was about to regret the chess. Seeing Li Mu coming in, he was embarrassed and simply pushed the chess and said to Li Yourong: "Don't play anymore, grandpa is tired, and Li Mu is here to chat with him."

Li Yourong didn't say anything, and packed the chess pieces separately, looked at Li Mu, and took him a brocade dormitory.

"I want a chair, not a Jindun!"

Li Mu's tone was very harsh. Li Yourong looked at him again and brought him a chair.

Li Mu sat down and reached out to eat the pastry on the table, without any politeness. Seeing him like this, Li Yuan asked, "Where are you boys who are so angry? Come here to play crazy? He even ordered my granddaughter. She is the princess, the little Zhulu Marquis, are you arrogant?"

Li Mu swallowed the pastry in his mouth, almost choked, poured a cup of tea and smoothed it down, and said, "What's wrong with the princess? Humph! Why did this princess come from? Don't you know what's wrong with it?"

Li Yourong heard the sarcasm, but felt ashamed and had no words. Li Yuan stopped doing it. Who was the grandfather who did not look at his granddaughter? Hearing Li Mu's sarcasm, his face also darkened and said, "Boy, don't go too far. The matter has passed, what else do you want?"

Li Mu knew the right way, and when he saw Li Yuan say this, he stopped and didn't say anything further. He grabbed another piece of pastry to eat. He didn't eat in the morning and was a little hungry.

Li Yuan looked at him eating, and when he had finished eating, he asked, "Who was messing with you? Why did he deliberately find fault?"

"Your son messed with me."

Li Yuan was happy when he heard this, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Then you can't tell me, I can't care about him."

"I'm just angry!" Li Mu shouted in anger and told Li Ji everything. When Li Yourong heard this, his face felt even more ashamed.

Seeing her appearance, Li Yuan couldn't help but say, "Boy, how can you blame Yourong for such a thing? It's just that you rarely see it!"

Li Mu snorted and said, "I knew you would be to Your Majesty, who told you to be father and son."

"You are so sarcastic here. What does it have to do with these things? Just talk about the matter. Shimin is not wrong!" Li Mu's words and deeds were so rude, but Li Yuan was not angry. He was awarded the title of Duke of Tang at the age of seven, and more people respected and praised him. On the contrary, Li Mu's words, such as "native-forget-age friends" who are not big or young, made him feel more comfortable.

"I don't think he's too much, but I think he's really a bit like a wise man."

"Ha," Li Mu said unconvincedly: "The sages have said that those who don't know are not blamed. Your Majesty said it was not surprising, and he 'spoken' Siwen's exile. This is also called a wise king? My adoptive father just made great contributions. In the battle of fighting the Turks, General Li Jing made the first contribution, and my adoptive father made the second contribution. Capturing more than 50,000 livestock populations is not a real contribution? The result? Because of the incident many years ago, I was so scared and panicked that I had to ask myself to guard the border. It's fine. Your Majesty sent his brother to Jinzhou as the governor. Now there is only an empty mansion and a proton left in the British Duke's Mansion, and he cannot gain a foothold in Chang'an. Is this a wise king?"

Li Mu became more and more angry as he spoke, and glared at Li Yourong again, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? Everything is caused by you!"

Li Yourong couldn't refute, turned his head aside, and his eyes turned red.

Li Yuan said, "Boy, you are standing on your adoptive father's side. I'll ask you, if you were the emperor, would you still think like this?"

Li Mu refused to take this incident and said, "I am not the emperor, I don't care what the emperor will think. I just feel unfair and feel uncomfortable!"

Li Yuan did not have the same knowledge as him, and said to himself: "The emperor is not so easy to be a man. Can the things that the emperor think about are the same as those who are ministers think about? Shimin is already kind to Li Siwen, a small punishment and great commandment. This is a decision that was made after considering my attitude, Li Ji's contribution, and your relationship with Li Siwen. It was just that you would not return to the court without an imperial edict, but there were no rewards at all. Isn't it considered the end of benevolence?"
