Chapter 41 People under the roof
Seeing that Manager Zhang had left in an air bag, Bai Naoer quickly ran out of the house and chased him to the door and saw that he had already gotten into the carriage. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet and turned around and said, "Son-in-law, this is a big shot, why are you... Alas! Even if you don't want to cooperate, just say no, you can't offend anyone!"
Li Mu was in a bad mood. He frowned and said, "Father-in-law, for Qiaoqiao's sake, I respect you, but it's not your turn to make my decision. He is a big shot, just a person who runs errands for others. Do I have to look up to him? Besides, I have cooperated with the General's Mansion. If you are afraid that I will offend him, aren't you afraid that I will offend the General's Mansion? If you don't stand without trust, you will harm yourself. If you don't like me, I will give you money. Go back to Mayi and open another wine shop. If you want to do business with whoever you want, I promise not to say a word!"
After saying that, Li Mu didn't care what Bai Naoer's expression was, and went back to the room. Bai Naoer's face turned red and white due to choking, and his fingers were trembling with anger. At this time, he saw Bai Qiaoqiao passing by, Bai Naoer couldn't help but say, "Look at your good husband, you are marching against your father! You are turning your elbow out, don't you listen?"
Bai Qiaoqiao stood down, looked at Bai Naoer, and said, "Dad, I think the husband is right. This is a business of the Li family, not a business of the Bai family, you are too dependent on it. Also, you must remember that this is Dingxiang City, not in Mayi, my husband is the magistrate of Dingxiang County, and he has an official position, so you can say whatever you want. As for your daughter, I have a hard life. Just scold me, but don't let my mother-in-law and husband hear it, otherwise you may find it difficult to come to the door again!"
"You girl movie!" Bai Naoer was about to curse again, and suddenly saw Sun coming out of the house. He quickly closed his mouth, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice: "It's getting late, I'll go back first, my in-laws, I'll give it away without a delivery!"
Bai Naoer left in a dirt. Bai Qiaoqiao was worried that Li Mu would be angry, so she brought dinner to the house and explained for a while. Li Mu quickly said that it was okay, and this matter would not make him angry. Besides, even if he was angry, it had nothing to do with Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao was sensitive, and Li Mu was not angry when she said it, and she also listened as an angry word, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry. In the end, Li Mu used the rogue technique and kissed him, which made Bai Qiaoqiao believe that he was really not angry and caused a wave of coquettishness.
The next day at dawn, Li Mu came to the yamen and told Li Siwen about this. After hearing this, Li Siwen frowned and said, "This manager Zhang is not afraid of it, but if he adds fuel to the fire, it will be bad for the uncle to hear it. I think so, I asked my father to write a letter and tell him about this matter with the uncle. The uncle is busy with all kinds of things and should not have time to argue with juniors like us."
Li Mu heard this and said something was wrong, "Brother Siwen, do you need to mobilize the army so much? Do you still need the general to write a letter to explain it yourself? What a simple thing. I will cooperate with you first, and he comes to me later. I can't cooperate with him anymore. Even if we don't cooperate with us, the secret method of brewing is my own. I will cooperate with whoever I like. I think that goat beard is cunning and doesn't want to interact with him?"
"Don't be excited," Li Siwen patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Li Er is such a rational person, but many things are unreasonable. In Chang'an, dandy are divided into several levels, let alone officials in the court. Although my father is a general, his influence in the military can only be counted as the top five. Who is the uncle? That is Your Majesty's brother-in-law. When Your Majesty was still the King of Qin, he planned major events for Your Majesty, which was the first achievement of the dragon.
He was the first civil servant and military general in the dynasty. Two years ago, someone wrote a letter saying that he was treasoned, but His Majesty didn't even ask questions, so he ordered someone to cut off the person who wrote the letter in half! Who can do this in the dynasty? If you can not offend such a person, don't offend him. If you offend him, you will be unable to go to Chang'an. You should understand the principle that every man is innocent and has a treasure. Don't mess with him. What should you do? A big man like him will not be serious about us."
Li Mu understood it. Li Siwen was afraid of Changsun Wuji, and even listened to what he meant. Even his father Li Ji was very afraid of Changsun Wuji. Li Mu pursed his lips and said without saying a word. After a while, he sighed and said, "You are right, I understand."
"I knew you could figure it out!" Li Siwen laughed.
Li Mu felt a little sad. He thought that when he traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, society and human relationships were simpler than in his previous life. But after this, he found that he was still thinking simple. This was already the Tang Dynasty. Chinese civilization had reached a peak in the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the human relationships, or conspiracies in later generations were already there in the Tang Dynasty. Why did later generations read history books just to learn the methods of the ancients' ways of dealing with people? Many things were in the future and the Tang Dynasty. After this, Li Mu also secretly warned himself not to underestimate the ancients, otherwise he would definitely suffer losses.
"Have you asked clearly what the old woman was yesterday?"
"Oh!" Li Siwen sighed, "I felt upset when I mentioned this. I asked, "I didn't say that, I couldn't be anxious with her at such an old age, so I was so angry... We sat opposite each other for half a night and didn't ask anything. I was convinced."
Li Mu looked at him and said, "What did you ask? Just ask directly?"
Li Siwen looked confused and said, "Otherwise? What else can I ask?"
"You are so stupid!" Li Mu stood up and said, "Take me to see them. If you don't say ten words, I'll help you understand!"
"Oh, ten words? I said a thousand words yesterday, but I didn't ask, you still have ten words... Do you dare to bet? If you ask ten words, I will lose one silver cake. If you don't ask, give me a silver cake, do you dare to bet?"
"You dare to bet on two hundred silver cakes, just watch it."
The two of them came to the place where the old woman was detained. It was the house where Bai Naoer was detained that day. Li Mu looked inside the crack in the door and saw that the old woman was teaching the child to write. Although there was no paper and pen, the child was holding a small wooden stick and slashing it very seriously on the ground. Such a scene would never happen in ordinary families. In this era, the literacy rate was very low, and few women recognized words, let alone taught people to read. Most women from families could not do it.
Li Mu glanced at Li Siwen, took the key from him, opened the door and walked in.
Hearing the sound of unlocking, the old woman raised her head and saw that it was Li Mu. She reached out and pulled the child and greeted Li Mu.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes, stared at the old woman for a while, and said, "Don't hide it, I already know who you are!"
