"Siwen!"

"Brother!"

"younger brother!"

"elder brother!"

"Is this true?"

"It's me, brother!"

"My brother!"

Li Mu opened his arms, and Li Siwen rushed over—

Seeing that the two of them were about to hold them up, Dugu Jiu suddenly moved his feet, and a small stone was tiptoed by his heels and flew steadily to Li Siwen's feet.

"oops--"

Li Siwen stepped on the stone, lost his balance, and rushed forward. Seeing that he fell, Li Mu hurriedly reached out to help him, and suddenly the sound of cracking brocade sounded. Li Mu felt a cool breeze and rushed up along his trousers, trembling all over his body with cold.

Li Siwen lay on the ground, threw away the rag in his hand, looked up and saw Li Mu's two big legs, and stuttered: "Big, brother, I, I don't know what's going on, I didn't mean it-"

"You bastard! What's wrong with you? Why do you pull my pants? If this is seen, wouldn't my reputation be ruined in your hands?"

"Brother, I know I'm wrong, you shout."

"You have pulled my pants into shorts, and you still haven't let me say it? I didn't whisper, I just shouted—"

"Husband, what are you going to eat at night? I didn't care about you at noon, I'll make wontons for you for dinner..." Bai Qiaoqiao came from the front yard and was stunned when he saw this scene. Li Mu turned around and saw Bai Qiaoqiao, and looked at Li Siwen lying on the ground. His head buzzed instantly, and he quickly ran over to explain: "Madam, it's not what you think, you misunderstood!"

Bai Qiaoqiao turned around and covered her face, and said angrily: "Husband, please find some pants to put on. What is this for?"

"Oh, I'm explaining to you. We are old husband and wife. You won't doubt me, right? Me, I..."

Li Muyu was incoherent and hurriedly tried to defend her around Bai Qiaoqiao. At this moment, Li Zhien brought Xiaozhu over and wanted to go to the warehouse to get the goods. Seeing Li Mu making money with his bare legs around Bai Qiaoqiao, he was so scared that he quickly covered Xiaozhu's eyes and turned around and said anxiously: "Master, no matter how anxious you are, you can't be in the yard. What does this look like!"

"Shut up!"

"Let's surround you first." Dugu Jiu took off the cloak from his body and surrounded Li Mu's waist. Li Mu quickly covered the key part, and ran back to the house to change his pants like a big horse monkey.

This scene happened to be taken into the eyes of Li Siwen who had climbed up from the ground. He frowned strangely, looked at Dugu Jiu carefully, and felt confused in his heart. But he did not say it, but came to greet Bai Qiaoqiao first. He still respected this sister-in-law very much. As for Li Zhien, he didn't take it seriously. In the mainstream ideology of the Tang Dynasty, the difference between his wife and concubine was still very obvious. Just saying hello, Li Zhien also knew about it, and gave a blessing, and took Xiaozhu to the warehouse.

Li Mu changed his pants and came out of the room. Bai Qiaoqiao had already gone to the kitchen. Li Siwen came. As a sister-in-law, she naturally had to prepare a sumptuous banquet for her. She went to instruct the chef.

Li Mu came to Li Siwen and slapped his head. Li Siwen was hit and grinned in pain. He rubbed the back of his head and said dissatisfied: "Brother, I finally came back. I didn't even go back to the city family. Why are you still hitting me? Are you unhappy when you see me?"

"Unhappy!" Li Mu glanced out the door and said, "I didn't bring any girl who sells her body to bury her mother this time, right? I warn you not to challenge my temper!"

Li Siwen quickly laughed and said, "Brother, I'll learn from my mistakes. No matter how stupid I'm not fooled, I'm not going to be the same twice-" As he said, he opened the topic and looked at Dugu Jiu, and asked, "Brother, is this person..."

"Oh, I forgot that you have never met. Let me introduce you to me. This is also my brother, named Dugu Jiu. His father is the leader of the Dugu family, Dugu Xiude." After introducing this, he introduced him to Dugu Jiu again: "He is Li Siwen, I mentioned it to you."

The two looked at each other, and Li Siwen first extended his hand. He learned the new etiquette of "shaking hands" from Li Mu. Now it has been promoted near Dingxiang, and he has become accustomed to it.

But Dugu Jiu seemed to not want to shake hands with him. Facing Li Siwen's hand that was stretched out, he chose to return the gift with his fists. Li Siwen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't take it seriously. He just thought that he was not used to shaking hands, and took his hand back a little embarrassedly.

Li Siwen has a lively personality. Since Li Mu said that Dugu Jiu was his brother, he naturally regarded him as a brother and said, "Dugu Jiu, Xiaojiuer, haha, we will be brothers in the future. There is no need to call me so strangely. Just call me second brother. I am half a year younger than our elder brother. You should not be older than me, right?"

Dugu Jiu pursed his lips, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Let's call him first."

"..." Li Siwen couldn't hold her face in a cold butt after a hot face, and was about to say something. Dugu Jiu jumped onto the wall and turned to Li Mu and said, "Brother, I suddenly remembered that there was some idle things at home. Go home and come back tomorrow. You haven't seen each other for a long time. Have a good chat."

After saying that, the figure flashed and the jumps were no longer visible.

Li Siwen was frightened and pointed at the direction where Dugu Jiu disappeared, and stuttered: "Big, brother, what's going on!"

"You've never seen a master before?"

"I really have light skills!" Li Siwen was stunned and thought to himself. Fortunately, he didn't show any dissatisfaction just now, otherwise he would have died now.

"Didn't you see it? Let's talk in the room." Li Mu turned around and entered the room. Li Siwen quickly followed and asked, "Brother, why did he wear a mask? Don't care about the pile of things in the yard? I just went to your original house, why did it become a clinic there? Big brother, where did the big man go? I heard the merchants coming and going to mention the Internal Affairs Office, what's going on with the Internal Affairs Office? Brother..."

...

Dugu Jiu did not disturb anyone. When he returned home, he bypassed the guards and went back to his room. With his skills, it was easy to do this. After lit the candle and there was light, the people knew that the young master was back. He quickly informed Dugu Xiude and informed the kitchen to prepare meals for Dugu Jiu.

The servants were busy, but Dugu Jiu was not at all interested. When he saw Li Siwen today, he felt indescribable. Or, he felt uncomfortable since Li Mu admitted him wrongly as Li Chongyi.

This feeling made him feel that in Li Mu's heart, he occupied a very small position. It would be fine if he was not as good as Li Chongyi. After all, before he met Li Mu, Li Chongyi was with Li Mu, and he could barely accept it. Moreover, Li Chongyi's strength could be recognized by him. But what the hell is Li Siwen? Judging from his appearance, you can know that he doesn't have any martial arts skills, and his physique is weak, his behavior, and his smiley look are no different from those playboys in Chang'an City.

Li Mu even called him brother. And seeing that affectionate spirit was not inferior to Li Chongyi. In this way, he seemed to be the one who was the worst. How could Dugu Jiu feel balanced? He thought he was the one who accompanied Li Mu the most, especially after Li Chongyi moved to the Prince's Mansion of Qinghe County. It can be said that the two of them were inseparable from sleeping, so why did they end up being inferior to each other?

Dugu Jiu felt very sad, so he used the excuse that he had something to do at home and was out of sight when he returned home.

He wanted to be quiet, but someone did not let him be quiet. When Dugu Xiude heard that his son was back, he was overjoyed and ran over and asked about his well-being. When Dugu Jiuzheng was upset, he didn't want to talk to Dugu Xiude much. But then he thought that it was indeed not for a long time since he had not been home. If he ignored his father again, it would be an unfilial act. He had to cheer up and deal with it. When Dugu Xiude asked, he answered. He didn't ask, and he didn't say anything.

The father and son talked until the meal, but Dugu Xiude had no intention of leaving, and asked the servants to serve the meal. It seemed that they were planning to fight for a long time.

The reason why Dugu Xiude was so stubborn was due to a recent news. Rumor has been made that Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, could teach dozens of craftsmen secretly within one day, and ensure that he could learn the skills of his own.

When Dugu Xiude first heard this news, he did not believe it. How could such a thing be possible? Even if Lu Ban reborn, he would have to be unable to learn it. How can a person's understanding be the same?

But the news he received later forced him to believe. In order to transport goods, he booked twenty iron plate trucks in Li Ying's car manufacturing workshop. When talking about this order, he casually mentioned the recent hotly discussed about Li Mu's art. Li Ying patted his chest and told him that this matter was definitely true. His reason was the supply speed of bearings. If Li Mu had not taught a group of craftsmen, the supply speed of bearings would not have been so fast! Moreover, in recent days, Li Mu has been busy in the valley and could not have time to make bearings, but the supply has not been interrupted. Isn't that a problem?

This made Dugu Xiude aroused his determination. Since Li Mu had such ability, if he could ask him to teach a group of craftsmen for Dugu, and with the original background of Dugu, wouldn’t he have hope to jump over and compete with the five surnames and seven hopes?

The royal family during the Southern and Northern Dynasties still had a day to reappear?

Although he knew that even if he asked Li Mu for this matter, he would probably be rejected. However, because of Dugu Jiu's relationship, Dugu Xiude still had a glimmer of hope. Through his interactions with Li Mu, Dugu Xiude could confirm that Li Mu was a person who valued feelings. It was related to the rise and fall of the family for a century. Even if there was only one-tenth of the chance, he could not give up. At most, Li Mu refused to agree and there was no substantial loss.

Dugu Xiude said the meaning in a roundabout way. Only then did Dugu Jiu understand what his father meant to pester him. He was so angry that his face turned red and said, "Dad, how could you have such a despicable idea?"

Dugu Xiude was shocked. He didn't expect that he could hear the word "despicable" from his son, and immediately raised his hand to beat him. But facing his only son who had never been willing to touch a finger since childhood, how could he do it? He was so angry that his teeth itched and said angrily: "Okay, you bastard, you have been with Li Mu for several months, and actually said that his father was despicable? Tell me, how can I be despicable? How can I be despicable if I plan for the family?"

Dugu Jiu said seriously, "Dad, I am with my elder brother. I see his efforts and hard work. I have also seen all kinds of people and all kinds of faces. I just didn't expect that Dad, you are like them, selfish and self-interested. I heard that there are some very slow and good things, so I came over and wanted to take it for yourself. My son dared to ask, why?"

"Brother invents things or teaches skills. I can see it clearly with him. He has never been for his own selfishness. However, these people from aristocratic families are always close to him for themselves. Compared with the two, the higher the lower the judgment is determined. Dad, don't say that I don't know whether this matter is true or false. Even if it is true, I will not cause trouble for my elder brother. Since he chose to teach secretly, he must have his considerations. It would be a big mistake if he disrupted his elder brother's plan because of me. Dad, don't say it anymore, I will not be with you!"

Dugu Xiude was speechless because he was choked. He really couldn't think of refuting it. He pointed at Dugu Jiu and cursed: "You rebellious son! You are the one who helps your father, you are a fellow traveler? Who am I for? Don't forget, you are my son! I only have you, my son. All my current plans and selfishness are all for you? I will always be old one day. When I die, will this huge family business belong to you? You are noble, and I think you are stupid!"

Dugu Xiude became more and more angry as he spoke, and he was anxious. He stamped his feet and said, "Silly child, I know your mind is different from that of ordinary men. But you must be clear that you are a man! If you look at Li Mu, he can't--"

Before he could finish his words, he saw a figure flashing, and Dugu Jiu disappeared.

The cold wind blowing in outside the window made Dugu Xiude feel a little more awake. He sighed heavily, asked his servants to come in and pack up the residue, and left Dugu Jiu's courtyard.

He knew that he had said it a little too much. He shouldn't say this to his son. But these words in a hurry were exactly his biggest concern. If he really made the point, what should he do?

The Dugu family is just a single seedling. If they have the love of Longyang - Dugu family, what should they do? When they meet their ancestors and clans in the future, they cannot explain!

...

After answering all of Li Siwen's doubts, he was already heading for Zishi. Li Mu was already a little sleepy, but Li Siwen was still energetic. Before entering the city, he slept in a cart pulling a box, but now he didn't mean sleepy at all.

Li Mu couldn't hold it anymore. More importantly, he hadn't been intimate with Bai Qiaoqiao for several days. He couldn't stand it anymore. Li Mu yawned and said, "Siwen, it's getting late, so I'll take a break today, and I have time to chat..."

"Brother, if you are afraid of disturbing your sister-in-law, we will come to the guest room and have a long chat..."

"Come on." Li Mu took Li Siwen to the door. Li Siwen walked out and turned his head naively and asked, "Brother, why don't you leave?"

Li Mu raised his legs and kicked hard, and Li Siwen flew out with a swish.
