The private room of the female family is next to the private room where Li Mu is.

Originally, according to the rules, only Li Mu's four wives were qualified to come in in this private room. However, Wang Ou considered that the four of them were alone in the same space and were embarrassed by each other, so she brought a maid. Seeing that she brought a maid, Li Zhien called all four maids Mei Lan and Zhu Ju next door over. Seeing this, Bai Qiaoqiao called Wei Yingluo over in order not to appear too tense, and the private room was filled with empty space.

The few people had no topics and all ate silently. Suddenly, someone outside the door whispered. Li Zhien was a good person, so he pricked up his ears and listened, and two waiters were whispering.

"...Didn't it mean that the Marquis and Mr. Wei are incompatible? Why don't I think that's the case? Five jin of vinegar celery is a bowl of five jin. The Marquis said that he was very enthusiastic. Mr. Wei can eat as much as he can... Is there such an opponent?"

"Oh, don't gossip. You can guess what the Marquis thinks? Take good care of them and don't be too troublesome."

Then there was no sound.

But Li Zhien could hear it clearly, glanced at Wei Yingluo and said, "Xiao Ying."

Wei Yingluo was eating when she suddenly heard Li Zhien calling her, and quickly raised her head and said, "Butler, is there anything wrong?"

"Don't call me a housekeeper!" Li Zhien said angrily: "I am the second concubine of Zhulu Marquis' Mansion now." She glanced at Wang Ou and Zhang Tianai and said: "The status is only below the wife. You can also be considered a maid in the mansion. You have to remember this clearly, do you know?"

"Oh..." Wei Yingluo was very disgusted with Li Zhien on the surface, but she was very disgusted with her in her heart. She couldn't help but say, "I don't live in the mansion, how could I know this? I will remember it from now on, the second concubine."

Li Zhien could see that Wei Yingluo was dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to hold back what she said, and her eyes turned and said with a smile: "Xiao Ying, although you are a maid in the mansion, your husband treats you differently. Even I envy you for the many cares."

As soon as this statement was made, the other three people who didn't care much about the conversation also read it. What? Different? Could it be that there is a fifth concubine in the family? It's too fast!

Wei Yingluo felt the gaze from the other three, and suddenly felt that the pressure increased. She secretly hated her heart. Li Zhien was still as bad as before, just saying something so provocative. Wei Yingluo was not the bullying personality. She is now just a maid and has no qualifications to fight back. But since the other party attacked, she could not say anything. She sorted out her thoughts and said, "Maybe the marquis has pity for me, I am lonely and helpless. I am very grateful."

"Haha, didn't you think about it?"

Wei Yingluo said seriously: "I don't understand the second concubine's meaning."

Li Zhien laughed: "Do you understand? You and I know it. I won't mention this, but do you know what happened just now?"

Wei Yingluo shook her head.

Li Zhien continued, "Your father likes to be jealous, right? When winter begins, where does the green vegetables come from? The cellars in the sky and earth are deep, and can be stored, which is extremely expensive. But in order to entertain your father, my husband has already given instructions. But as long as your father can eat, let the chef cook for him. As we all know, my husband is against your father, why should he do this? In my opinion, it is probably for you."

Speaking of this, Li Zhien glanced at the other three and said quietly: "What a great face!"

Sure enough, when he heard this, Bai Qiaoqiao and the other two had some changes in their expressions. Bai Qiaoqiao knew the origin of Wei Yingluo and frowned slightly. Wang Ou had his own information channel and knew it very well, and his expression was thoughtful. Zhang Tianai didn't recognize Wei Yingluo, so he looked at her carefully, turned his body to Bai Qiaoqiao's side, and whispered to ask what was going on.

Wei Yingluo felt more pressure, but when she heard this news, she couldn't help but feel a little sweet. Thinking of what Wei Zheng said before Li Mu came, when she was chatting with Wei Zheng alone, she suddenly felt that the situation that what Dad said might not necessarily not happen.

But in front of you, you cannot admit it, otherwise the ladies would have regarded themselves as thorns in their eyes and would not have lived their lives.

Wei Yingluo was quick-minded and knew what she should say, and said, "The second concubine is too worried. If the marquis is interested in me, she will not let me move out of the marquis' mansion. I also know what my identity is and dare not rush to the top."

"and you……"

Li Zhien wanted to say something else, and Bai Qiaoqiao said, "Zhien, let's have a meal."

Li Zhien glanced at Bai Qiaoqiao's face and didn't dare to ask any more. He gave Wei Yingluo a meaningful look and continued to eat.

...

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes. Wei Zheng also cooked vinegar celery for four nights and didn’t eat any other dishes at all. Li Mu was amazed by such a thin person who could eat four large bowls of vinegar celery.

After having enough food, it's time to talk about some serious business. Today I'm here to congratulate Li Mu on the opening of the store, and no one else has anything to do. Only Wei Zheng, who himself has said that he has something to come to Li Mu. But Li Mugang deliberately ignored him because he lost twenty cents and was in a bad mood, but talked to Kong Yingda.

Li Mu picked up the box, looked at Kong Yingda with a smile, and said, "Old Kong, you give me these three books as gifts, and I have received my feelings. But I am a more real person. My feelings are my feelings, and money is money. You are not like someone, so poor that you are rich. As far as I know, the Kong family is in the territory of Shandong, with thousands of fertile land. You have collected thousands of disciples. Which one has no sting? How much does a thousand stings cost? Don't be so stingy, that little money comes out!"

Kong Yingda was so angry that her nose was crooked. She opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but she didn't expect to burp and make a big blush.

When Li Mu saw it, he quickly said, "Look at it, I'll get a seat in the hospitality, you're overwhelmed!"

Kong Yingda finally got away with it and said angrily: "The gift I gave you is hard to get a thousand gold, and you are not satisfied yet? Besides, how can you measure things about scholars by stinking things? You are so insulting your kindness!"

Li Mu laughed. This old Confucius always kept his eyes anxious, and he whispered in dialect when he was anxious, which was becoming more and more interesting.

"Seeing how you look at your wealth, you are so stingy. OK, I don't expect to ask for your cash anymore. Let's talk about a deal."

"Buying and selling?" Kong Yingda became alert and said, "My Kong family has been through farming and studying for thousands of years and has never been involved in business. What does it mean to talk about business with me? Do you want to insult my reputation as a Kong family?"

"Yoyo... Look at you like this, what's wrong with merchants, what's wrong with doing business? Without business, no transaction, how can the country be rich and the people be strong? I just look down on you as a noble person, and you are also studying and passing on your family. If you have the ability, don't buy cloth to make clothes, go out naked!"

When it comes to criticizing others and quibbling, Kong Yingda will never be Li Mu's opponent. Li Mu only made one move and immediately made Kong Yingda silent. He stared at him angrily, and he was about to leave the table.

Li Mu smiled again, patted the box in his hand, and said, "Old Kong, we have fought for so long, and it can be considered a relationship. I will not harm you. Don't say whether to do this business or not, please listen to it, right?"

"Hmph!" Kong Yingda snorted, but didn't say anything, but didn't leave.

Li Mu said to himself: "I said this business is also good for you. You are a descendant of Confucius. It is your responsibility to promote the education of saints, right? My proposal can help you achieve your wishes and make money. You can kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it?"

When Changsun Chong heard about making money, he was most interested and interrupted: "Master, what business can he bring an apprentice?"

"What does it have to do with you!" Li Mu glared at him and continued to say to Kong Yingda: "After the New Year, tribute students from all over the country are coming to Chang'an to prepare for the spring exam. Think about it, the imperial examination has only been so far, which happened a few years ago. Next year's imperial examination, everyone will be disgraced. If there is some guidance at this time, isn't it a good thing for tribute students?"

Kong Yingda seemed to understand something and said, "Speak just by saying something."

"I like your pleasure!" Li Mu patted the box in his hand again and said, "Old Kong, you know. I invented the printing technique. Printing books is easy for me. I found a craftsman and carved the three books and then printed them. Is this the imperial examination? This is not a big deal, but the carp jumps over the dragon gate, three books and one set, and it's not much. Is it a lot? The books are given by you, and I printed them. We two add five to one and make half of the money. How about it?"

Kong Yingda stubbornly said: "I gave you this book to let you feel the sage's education, not to make money! How can scholars be stinking with money..."

"Look, your old man's stubborn temper is coming up again. You also said that it is to let me feel the education. I feel it! I have already felt it fully, but what about others? I, Li Mu, is not a domineering person. Do you share any good things? What's the use of feeling alone? I can't promote education. It must be that everyone feels it. Besides, if I read the book you gave me, the top scorer in high school next year will be passed on, it seems like I won't be a fight, but if it is sold publicly, everyone will almost see it, which is very fair, right?"

Kong Yingda also felt that Li Mu was right, but he still didn't want to associate his books with stinky things, and still said stubbornly: "The Kong family, who farms and studies and passes on family matters, never gets involved in business affairs. This is a family rule and cannot be broken by me. If you are willing to print books and sell them yourself, I will not interfere with it!"

Li Mu was so amused and crying: "Give me all the money?"

"I'll give it to you, I don't want this kind of money!"

This person, nine out of ten can't escape the law of "true fragrance". Li Mu has never seen many people who really don't care about money in his two lives. Kong Yingda is one, but Li Mu still wants to give it a try and said, "Old Kong, this is not a small amount of money, at least it must be tens of thousands of yuan. Are you sure you don't want it?"

Kong Yingda did not hesitate: "No!"

"Hey!" Li Mu raised his thumb and said, "The book still needs to be printed and sold, but you don't want this money, and I don't want it either. I'll build a library for you!"
