Chapter 438

Li Mu looked at the young man with a blue nose and swollen face in front of him and his brow frowned slightly.

Did I kick him into a eunuch? I planned to rely on me?

"My father asked me to come to you!" Fang Yiai took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Mu, saying, "He said you will understand after reading it."

"Don't play tricks!" Li Siwen glared at Fang Yiai, took the letter for Li Mu, and handed it to Li Mu. His whole movement was extremely terrifying.

Li Mu opened the letter, glanced at Fang Yiai, and said, "Your father asked me to arrange an errand for you, I have to give you this face. But I don't know you, tell me what you can do?"

"I have read books for several years and learned to read. I have also practiced martial arts by myself, grown strong and strong."

"Not?"

Fang Yiai shook her head: "It's gone."

"Um..." Li Mu sighed and said without hesitation: "Nothing is different from waste. Let's do this. I just don't have a follower. You should be my follower first, and you can control food, accommodation and no wages. Are you willing?"

"Yes." Fang Yiai agreed without thinking. For him, as long as he could not go home, it would be a good thing.

"No!" Suddenly a voice came from the roof. It was Dugu Jiu who had not seen for a long time. He held a sword and fell from the roof, unable to say a sense of elegance. He didn't even look at Fang Yiai, and said to Li Mu: "Brother, your follower turned out to be a big man, now it's me. He is very weak and cannot protect you."

"Wow..." Li Siwen was shocked. She was worthy of being a master who could get into a room, but she was confident. Fang Yiai was the number one thug in the playboy circle. Li Siwen was beaten by him a lot. Dugu Jiu was so unpretentious in front of him. I wonder how Fang Yiai would react... Li Siwen glanced over and looked at the show with a completely mentality, and she wanted to fight. Anyway, Dugu Jiu would not lose. Let Fang Yiai get beaten up again, which would be more in line with his wishes.

What he expected happened soon. Fang Yiai has been a bully since he was a child. When he heard this, he clenched his fists and hit him. Seeing this, Li Mu frowned and threw away the letter in his hand, and wanted to come over to catch Fang Yiai's fist.

"Hmph!" Dugu Jiu heard the sound of wind behind his ears and did not turn his head back. He took Fang Yiai's fist with his backhand. He twisted it upside down. Fang Yiai's wrist suddenly appeared in a strange shape, obviously he was dislocated.

Even though he was tough enough, sweat also appeared on his forehead.

Dugu Jiu then turned around, glanced at Fang Yiai coldly, and said, "Are you convinced?"

Fang Yiai swallowed and nodded vigorously.

Dugu Jiu then bent his finger and flicked his wrist. The twisted joints returned to normal, but it was not swollen. It was obvious that the hand just now had strength, otherwise Fang Yiai's wrist would probably be useless.

"If you see me attacking my brother, your hands will never move again."

Li Mu threw down this harsh words, pointed to a guest room, and said, "Get out and have a rest, I'll call you for dinner."

Fang Yiai rubbed his wrists, picked up his salute and entered the guest room. Li Mu couldn't help but complain to Dugu Jiu: "Where have you been going these two days? Do you know if I was almost killed?"

"I deserve it!"

"Hey?" Li Mu said angrily: "Is this what a brother said?"

"Who made you two bully me together?"

Li Mu suddenly silenced and threw the ball to Li Siwen: "Why are you bullying me?"

"Brother, look at his skills, it seems like I can bully him?"

"Don't quibble, you're bullying..." Li Mu hooked Dugu Jiu's shoulder and said, "It's okay, my brother is on your side." Before Dugu Jiu could speak, Li Mu turned the topic apart and asked, "By the way, I just remembered something, who is the older you two?"

Li Siwen quickly said, "I am six months younger than my elder brother, where are you?"

Dugu Jiu was silent for a moment and said, "I was born in the twelfth lunar month."

"The twelfth lunar month?" Li Mu was shocked and said, "Isn't it this month? Why haven't you said that on that day?"

"yesterday."

"yesterday?"

Dugu Jiu was afraid to face Li Mu's gaze and said timidly: "I'm going home to accompany my mother."

"Oh..." Li Mu nodded and said, "Filial piety is the first priority. Knowing that mother's kindness is a good thing. But we must not fail to celebrate our birthday. We will do nothing today, and we will celebrate your birthday!" Li Mu turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "I will make you a cake myself."

"What is a cake?" Li Siwen seemed more curious than Dugu Jiu, and couldn't help complaining: "Brother, I didn't show any signs when I celebrated my birthday? Why did you make cakes for him on his birthday?"

"Is your birthday?"

"Last month."

"Where were you last month?"

"I'm in Dingxiang... No, brother, can you pass on a letter from Fei Ge?"

Dugu Jiu followed behind silently, listening to the two of them bickering, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

...

Li Mu could not make cakes, and there was no place to find cream in the Tang Dynasty. The cake he made was "egg custard", stirring the eggs and steaming them in a pot. But even so, it was something that the Tang Dynasty had never seen before.

Once the egg custard was released, it received great praise. This soft and fragrant taste was very popular among women. Dugu Jiu also liked it very much. He held his own portion and ate it in a small mouthful with a spoon, and was reluctant to eat it.

On the other hand, Li Siwen and Fang Yiai were like cows chewing peonies, and they had a bowl of egg custard, and three bites were in their stomachs. They were still greedy after eating them, and they kept glanced at the bowls of others. That is, the people on the table, they didn't dare to snatch them. If they were replaced by other people, the two young masters would show their nature as a playboy and snatch them up.

"Brother, before I leave, I must teach me that this cake is so delicious, and I can't eat enough for another ten bowls."

"Okay, I'll teach your wife and let her do it for you."

"I have no wife!"

"It'll be there tomorrow!" Li Mu raised a curve and said, "I have already ordered people to go to the heaven and earth to inform you tomorrow morning and go to propose marriage at noon. The Lantern Festival is a good day, and the dragon raises its head, which is the best. There is no need for the Qin family to find the Imperial Heaven Superintendent. I'll calculate it clearly for you, and it's decided."

"Brother..." Li Siwen also begged, thought for a while, and stopped abruptly, giving up on himself, and said, "Okay, who made you my eldest brother? Isn't it just a marriage, it's just a marriage, but a brother." Li Siwen's eyes rolled and said, "If you let me get married, then you have to get married too. I can't make me alone. I won't do it."

Li Mu nodded to Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Aren't I married? Why can't I see your sister-in-law here?"

"Sister-in-law hasn't been done yet," Li Siwen laughed and said, "Brother, if you want me to get married, then you can get married with my sister-in-law. Let's do the wedding day. If you don't agree, I won't do it. But it's not that I don't get married, but that's why I don't get married."

When Li Zhien heard this, he was immediately happy, glanced at Li Mu, lowered his head and turned the corner of his clothes. Although she didn't have much contact with Li Siwen, Li Siwen seemed to take her seriously, but today, Li Siwen liked her as much as she saw her.

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "You kid, what does it have to do with me..." He looked at Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Madam, don't listen to his nonsense. Our family's affairs should be carried out according to the plan."

"Actually, it's not bad for these few days, but just three months in advance. It's all about early and late. It's better to do it early so as not to get me worried about you all day long." Bai Qiaoqiao took Li Zhien's hand and said, "If you ask me, I think my brother-in-law is right. Just go to the Yuan Dynasty, what you said is a good day for the dragon to raise his head."

"This..." Li Mu thought to himself, can I count if I am nonsense?

But the words have come to this point, and it has indeed been delayed for a long time. Li Mu thought about it and finally nodded, "Okay, that's it. Let's do it together on the Lantern Festival."

Li Siwen was stunned and said, "Brother, is it really done?"

"Really, I'm having a fight with you?"

"Do it!" At this point, Li Siwen also realized that there was no way to change it. He completely gave up resistance and said, "You are my elder brother. If you let me get married, I will do it. But it can be explained clearly. Your Majesty's decree clearly. I don't have enough time for a month's visit leave. Also, I have no money, can't afford clothes, and can't afford drums. If you let me get married, you have to take care of it."

"Haha..." Li Mu laughed and said, "I forgot what you said in the morning? Talking about money with me? You really want to laugh at me. I'm so sad that I have nothing to say to you, your brother, I'm so poor that I'm left with money. When we propose marriage tomorrow, I'll let you see what it means to be rich and powerful!"

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, the entire Jingdong Festival was already lively. At Li Mu's order, Bai Naoer dispatched all his helpers and came to Jingdong Festival to help. Li Mu went to Pingkangfang again and called the musicians from Yuanjiaofang to serve as drum music. These were all professionals. The musicians who were originally playing in the palace have transformed into gong and drum teams today. The entire Jingdong Festival lined up from beginning to end in a long line of hundreds of meters.

At the mercy of a group of old mothers, Li Siwen put on a festive red robe, which was even better than when Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao got married. Li Mu checked it, nodded with satisfaction, jumped onto a tall horse, Fang Yiai and Dugu Jiu also rode their horses and followed, clamping Li Siwen in the middle, and the team headed towards the Duke of Yiguo Mansion.

In the early morning, people were sent to send messages. The Duke of Yiguo's Mansion also made preparations, wearing red and hanging colors, and opening the middle door. Li Siwen's biological brother, with the betrothal gifts he had prepared long ago, was waiting at the intersection. The two groups worked together to welcome the brides, and the team of weddings grew stronger.

Li Mu also took the opportunity to take a look. When he got married with Bai Qiaoqiao, he was hasty and did not care much. Moreover, both of them came from a small place in Mayi and did not know about the betrothal gifts. Today, when he saw the betrothal gifts prepared by Li Zhen for Li Siwen, he realized what the betrothal gifts for the Tang Dynasty married people were.

The first car was cloth, and a car filled with silk and satin.

The second car is full of utensils, gold and silver, lacquerware, and jade.

The third car was a bit interesting, it turned out to be a cart of tea, which made Li Mu a little confused. What kind of betrothal gifts are tea? This is because he didn't know enough about the Tang Dynasty. In this era, not everyone could drink tea, or the tea ceremony at this time was too complicated, and ordinary people were not in the mood to make tea, and only nobles could drink tea. The value of this cart of tea was by no means inferior to the previous cart of gold, silver and jade.

The fourth car had few things, but they were living things, two geese. Li Mu was completely confused this time. What the hell was to send geese? He couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask Li Zhen. After listening to Li Zhen's explanation, he realized that sending geese was an ancient ritual. It was found that sending geese was an ancient ritual. It was found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The geese were all coming back in spring and returning in autumn, and were regarded as a symbol of keeping trust. Taking the geese off is equivalent to accepting this marriage. If you regret the marriage in the future, you will have no faith. A family like the Duke of the Kingdom will be looked down upon.

Increased knowledge.

The group of people came to the gate of Duke Yiguo. Qin Qiong, his wife, and Qin Huaidao and the other two were already waiting at the door. But they proposed marriage, so naturally they could not see the main owner. After a while of greeting, someone sang what the betrothal gift was.

The betrothal gift prepared by Li Zhen is a standard template for the family relationship between the two parties, neither high nor low, and it is definitely acceptable in terms of face. But today's team of proposing marriages spread a hundred meters, which seemed a little shabby. The onlookers whispered and came into Li Zhen's ears, and his face became a little ugly.

In fact, the Li family is not short of money. Not to mention that when they were running the winery with Li Mu, they made tens of thousands of guan. Even if they didn’t have the winery, Li Ji made great achievements and Li Shimin rewarded him a lot of land. The rent alone was tens of thousands of guan a year, and some money was spent on selling grain, which was no problem to earn 100,000 guan a year.

But he didn't expect Li Mu to get so many people. He heard the whispers of the people and was a little bit out of Taiwan.

Li Siwen looked indifferent. He was reluctant to become a parent and it didn't matter what he was like.

After singing the betrothal gift, it was naturally a conversation in the lobby. Qin Qiong asked the housekeeper to accept the betrothal gift and asked the group of people who proposed the marriage to enter the house.

"Wait a mininute!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "There is another betrothal gift. Just now, it was the betrothal gift prepared by my charity father for my charity brother, but I, the one who is my charity brother, have not expressed it yet. Come on, bring the betrothal gift I prepared for my charity brother!"

No one told Li Mu about this move before. He ordered Ergou to do it, and even Dugu Jiu, Li Siwen and others didn't know it. Hearing this, he looked at the back of the crowd and saw four big men carrying two bars. There was a big box under the bars, which looked quite heavy, and the four of them were struggling to carry it.

After rushing to the ground, the big box fell to the ground, pressing the ground down an inch.

Li Mu waved his hand and asked everyone to remove the bar and rope. He walked over and lifted the box. He suddenly felt a dazzling golden light. In this big box, there were all gold bars, a pound of "big goldfish" weighing one pound, and a box full of!
