"You are a traitor! How many times do I have to say it before you can remember who your master is? I will say it again last time! This is your family, and the master in the family is me, the wife of Zhulu Marquis Li Mu, the wife of Zhulu County, Bai Qiaoqiao - No, Qiaoqiao is not something you can call, Qiaoqiao is my name, her big name is Bai Lu, you are not allowed to call this name, you can only call her wife! There is only one wife in Zhulu Marquis Mansion! According to what you meant just now, the wife asked the concierge to say that I was sick and had no money to see a doctor? Ha, it's ridiculous. I, Li Mu, will be short of money?!"

Zhenzhu knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she knelt down and cried, "Mr. Marquis, Zhenzhu knew that she was wrong. You can beat me and scold me. I just want the Marquis to be open and merciful, borrow some money to give to us so that we can take it to the old man... and give it to the lady,"

It’s not okay to call Wei Zheng ‘Master’, and it’s not okay to call Wei Yingluo ‘Miss’. Pearl couldn’t change her mouth for a while, so she pinched herself. After holding it in for a while, she continued, “Take Yingluo’s father to treat her.”

"She," Li Mu pointed to Wei Yingluo and corrected: "She is now called 'Xiao Ying', remember!"

"Xiao, Xiaoying... I remember it." Zhenzhu started crying.

Wei Yingluo also knelt down and said, "Mr. Marquis, Zhenzhu offended you because of his servants. If Marquis wants to punish me, please punish me. Don't blame Zhenzhu."

Li Mu sat down angrily, swayed the rocking chair for a while, and asked, "Which guy Wei Zheng is sick?"

"Well." Wei Yingluo responded in a low voice. Although she was a little dissatisfied with Li Mu calling her father "that guy", Wei Yingluo didn't dare to say anything when she thought of what Wei Zheng had done.

"To die?"

Wei Yingluo was Wei Zheng's daughter. When she heard Li Mu say that his father was 'to die', she still felt very difficult to accept. Although she didn't dare to say anything, she stopped answering and lowered her head and cried silently.

Li Mu pointed to Zhenzhu and asked, "You answer, is he going to die?"

"No, Lao... Xiaoying's father is stained with cold."

"Ha! This is retribution!" Li Mu said relievedly. Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu felt very sad when they heard this, but they also understood that Li Mu was Wei Zheng's opponent, and it was very normal for him to gloat.

Li Mu took the expression of the two girls in his eyes and said, "Wei Zheng is my opponent, do you two know?"

The two girls didn't say anything.

Li Mu didn't care and continued, "Does he have a penny to me when he died of illness? He also asked me to give him money to treat him, and he thought it was beautiful!"

Pearl raised her head and couldn't help but want to say something. Wei Yingluo grabbed her sleeve tightly and prevented her from speaking. But her heart hurt even more than a needle. The impression of Li Mu in her heart was that she had just transformed into an idol-like person. Seeing the idol shattered, it was definitely one of the heaviest blows for a luoli in fantasy.

How could my marquis be such a person?

Wei Yingluo felt very uncomfortable.

She thought Li Mu would be a handsome young man, and she would not be embarrassed for her and lend a helping hand... Why, the reality is so cruel? Why is this?

Just when the girl was extremely desperate, Li Mu suddenly changed his mind and said, "But..."

"but?"

In just two short words, Wei Yingluo felt the dawn of hope. She raised her head with tears in her eyes and saw Li Mu's face as if it was stained with a halo against the light from the window.

"...You two are maids in my mansion. Although they are junior and inferior maids, they also have monthly salary. As for me, one thing is one thing. Although I am not happy that Wei Zheng will die, I cannot stop the servants in my mansion from fulfilling their filial piety. Now you are not in full term and are not qualified to receive monthly salary. In your filial piety, when the wife and Zhien come back, go find Zhien to advance the monthly salary. Just say that I promised it, Zhien will not make things difficult for you. As for what you do with the advance money, it has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to tell me."

"Really?" Wei Yingluo couldn't believe her ears, and a infinite happiness suddenly surged in her heart. The Marquis did not disappoint me!

"Really!" Li Mu said angrily: "Get up, disappear from me quickly, don't disturb me for dinner. Otherwise, I will think that you received my money to treat Wei Zheng. If you are not happy, you will regret it. Tell you, it's not correct!"

"Thank you, Marquis!"/"You are a lot of people!!"

Hearing Li Mu's words, Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu quickly got up from the ground and ran out happily.

Although I don’t know what the monthly salary of a junior and inferior maid is, no matter how much it is, it should be able to solve the urgent problem.

Li Mu looked at the two of them leaving happily, smiled, got up and went to the workbench, served supper, soaked some soup, and started eating.

In fact, he was just a favor. Wei Zheng was infected with the cold, and Li Shimin could not let him die, so he would definitely send an imperial doctor to see him. Even if Li Shimin didn't care or Wei Zheng would not accept it, Li Mu didn't want Wei Zheng to die. Although he and Wei Zheng both fought each other and were recognized as mortal enemies in the court and the country. In fact, he personally did not have any special hatred for Wei Zheng. In some matters, he admired the old guy's temper.

Importantly, he needs Wei Zheng.

What Li Shimin said awakened him, and the first thing an emperor needs is balance. Wei Zheng is now one of his balance points, so Wei Zheng cannot lack it.

But what Li Mu wondered was why Wei Zheng was doing so miserable. A dignified Duke didn’t live as much as an ordinary person. Can’t even afford to drink Fenghan Xiao Chaihu Decoction?

Is it that difficult to make money?

Wow, if you are not hardworking, you will definitely not be able to get rich.

Li Mu secretly thought, Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, you really should learn from your daughter. Look, she is now a maid in my mansion, and her monthly salary is more than enough to treat you. If you are short of money, can you come to my mansion to be an accountant or something? Reading your resume, you can add 30% of your monthly salary to you, so that you can keep food and clothing free of worries, hahaha...

Happy, happy, your opponent is unlucky, that's how happy it is.

...

Wei Zheng was wrapped in a quilt and was "sticking".

When he had no money to drink medicine, Pei used a "native method" to burn some hot water to "scrape" for him. However, this physical therapy has limited effects and cannot be effective immediately, so Wei Zheng is still very uncomfortable now.

His discomfort is not only in his body, but also in his heart.

Wei Zheng did not expect that eight traitors would appear under the Censorate under his rule!

They are all from Shandong, and they are all Shandong gentry. Why did they turn against each other? Is it because of Li Mu's threat?

Isn’t it just a splash of feces? I can’t die, so what are you afraid of? A scholar who dies for his confidant dies, but he is not afraid of splashing feces?

He couldn't understand what those people thought!

Especially one of them, the censors named Wang Jingze! The day before Li Mu poured feces, he still called on everyone to unite and fight Li Mu to the end. But when he turned around, he began to praise Li Mu, promote the benefits of the new policy, criticize the Shandong gentry, and even scolded him, the censor, to be completely decent.

Wei Zheng's heart is bleeding!

Wang Jingze, Wang Jingze! You have this ability and such an eloquent person, why don’t you use it when dealing with Li Mu? Why do you turn your spear and point it at your own people?

The traitors in the team were already a blow. What's even more annoying is that Li Shimin actually used Wang Jingze to understand the righteousness and made contributions to promoting the new policy. He was promoted to the Chief Censor of the Censor! From a sixth-rank supervisor to a fourth-rank chief Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the

What kind of virtue does he have to do? How dare he steal this position?

Is it just because of flattery?

A foolish lord!

How could Wei Zheng be abusive to this bad habit? He had a big fight with Li Shimin in front of the civil and military officials of the court. But this time, he did not win. Because the civil and military officials of the court seemed to have joined forces, they attacked him one after another.

A good tiger can't stand the wolves, let alone a traitor has appeared inside?

Not only were the eight traitors led by Wang Jingze standing up and sang against each other, but the other censors also remained silent. They had just been splashed with feces and the smell on their bodies had not yet dissipated. Who dared to speak? They all pretended to be deaf and dumb, just pretending they could not hear it.

Wei Zheng’s refutation was too decent. Some people said that Wei Zheng wanted to hold a one-man show in the Censorate, otherwise why would he not tolerate different voices?

Some people also say, Wei Zheng, you are too domineering. Now that your Majesty has to agree to the appointment of officials, Wei Zheng?

No matter how ugly it sounds, how to say it, how to choke it, how to squeeze Wei Zheng out, and wished to explode on the spot! In the end, he couldn't argue, so he had no choice but to accept the fact that Wang Jingze was promoted to the Censor General and became the actual second-in-commander of the Censorate.

When she returned home, Wei Zheng became ill. Pei had no choice but to think that Wei Yingluo was in Li Mu's mansion. She didn't know Wei Yingluo's current situation. She always thought that Li Mu had fallen in love with Wei Yingluo, so she would keep her. Then she sent the doorman to see if Wei Yingluo could help. If she knew that her daughter was just a maid now, with Pei's personality, she would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

"Drink some porridge."

Pei came over with porridge, placed it beside the bed, and said to Wei Zheng, who was facing her back.

Wei Zheng has been spiked at home and outside the house these days. He was hit by all sides in the court, and at home, it was time to look at Pei's face. He was in a bad mood, but he could not vent his dissatisfaction with his wife, so he had to be a dull man. If you talk to me, I just ignore you.

"Don't eat?"

Wei Zheng still didn't say anything.

"I really don't eat it?"

Wei Zheng actually wanted to eat it, but when he thought of himself, his wife might not have enough to eat it. He shook his head and said, "I won't eat it!"

"Oh," Pei sighed and said, "Your Majesty sent the imperial physician here just now and asked me to send him away. I know your temper, but you can't do this. Do you really don't want to live?"

"Living! What's the living!"

Wei Zheng suddenly stood up and shouted: "The emperor is not clear, he only wants to listen to slander, he is extremely stupid! There are also those people who, as censors, have no arrogance at all, who actually turned against the enemy at the last minute. I am not ashamed of it!"

After roaring, Wei Zheng started coughing again.

Pei patted his back and said, "You can't think of the bad things on others in everything. How do you know that Your Majesty and Zhulu Hou are definitely wrong, and you must be right?"

Wei Zheng stared at Pei and said, "Even you..."

"Oh, I won't tell you anymore, you're just a slander!"

Pei shook his head, took the porridge bowl, put it to Wei Zheng's hand, and said, "I don't care whether you like to drink or not. I'll weave that piece of cloth and sell it tomorrow, and buy medicine for you."

When Pei stood up, Wei Zheng saw Pei's hand. Her five fingers were wrapped in rags, and blood could be seen faintly. It was obvious that it was cut by the thread when weaving the cloth.

"Madam!" Wei Zheng couldn't help but speak.

Pei looked back at him and said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry to you."

"Just you know."

Pei smiled and went out.

Wei Zheng is a stubborn person, with a stubborn person. His wife is also a stubborn person. She has suffered a lot in her life, but she has never regretted it.

The sun was far west, and the concierge, who had been out for a long time, finally came back. Pei was weaving cloth, and the concierge rushed in and handed a purse to her.

"Gived it to me by the lady." The concierge was the stupidest man, and he was very troublesome to speak, but fortunately he could express his meaning clearly.

Pei opened his purse, was surprised, and said, "Why are there so many?"

The concierge shook his head and said, "I don't know."

There are a total of ten taels of silver in the purse.

The salary paid by the Zhulu Marquis Mansion to the servants can be said to be the highest in the Tang Dynasty. Li Mu previously stipulated that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works would be 300 liters a day and 150 liters a day for the labor department, which was already a very high salary. However, the servants of the Zhulu Marquis Mansion were even higher, and the servants of the Zhulu Marquis Mansion would cost ten taels of silver a month, which was thirty-three cents more than the technicians. The servants would eat and live in the mansion, and they could not spend all their money. Even if the maid loved beauty and bought some rouge and water powder, they would not use ten taels of silver.

There are three reasons why Li Mu gave them so much money. First, because he is not short of money. A winery earns tens of thousands of yuan a month, and there are only twenty servants in the mansion, so this little money is nothing. Second, he feels that it is fate that these twenty people can come to the Zhulu Marquis Mansion. Living under the same roof is nothing, so it’s not a big deal to give them more. In addition, he considers the future of these people. He doesn’t want these people to stay in Zhulu Marquis Mansion as servants for the rest of his life. For example, Xiaozhu Xiaolan and others are all young girls in their prime. Sooner or later, they have to find a husband’s house and save some private money by themselves, and they have the confidence to go to the husband’s house. Those who go out of Zhulu Marquis Mansion must have this face.

But the ten taels of silver in this purse were not Wei Yingluo's own money, but her and Pearl. Li Zhien gave half of it because they were junior and inferior maids, and their monthly salary was less than that of Xiaozhu and the others.

Even so, Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu were so happy. With this money, not only did they have enough treatment, but they didn’t have to worry about the cost of the family. Ten taels of silver were not enough for Zhulu Hou Mansion, but for the Wei Mansion, it would be fine for three months.

Pei felt relieved when he saw this money.
