Chapter 627 Poison
More than 10,000 people are actually not a large number. Chang'an City has experienced the consumption of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there are still nearly 800,000 people. Before the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the Kaihuang period was prosperous, Chang'an City had more than one million people. There are 108 yards, and there are an average of 10,000 people in each yard, which is not worth mentioning at all.
But in a place like Dingxiang, there are already a large number of people. For example, Mayi has only five or six thousand people, and this is also a migrant population. As a new city burned and rebuilt a year ago, Dingxiang has gathered so many people, which is a miracle. Li Siwen said that he has a good business, and it is not entirely a brag. Li Mu asked the truth in detail, but this occasion is not very suitable now, so he just smiled and did not look at it in detail.
The group came to the ancestral hall, and what caught my eye was a building larger than the Mayi County Government. Li Shimin was not stingy with Li Mu. He allocated money several times in a row. The ancestral hall was built with no effort, and Li Siwen also worked to help. If he hadn't been worried about resilient, he would have to be bigger than this. However, now that he has been posthumously named the Earl, it would not be a problem, and he will definitely continue to expand.
"Mr. Marquis, since Mr. Li did not dare to rush to make a picture, he did not dare to sing a picture in a hurry, so he only ranked—" Zhang Fa said carefully, afraid that Li Mu would take care of it. His worries were obviously redundant, because Li Mu had never seen Li Gan. Li Gan died in battle when Li Mu was over one year old, and it turned out that Li Mu had not remembered him.
Li Mu waved his hand, and everyone retreated, leaving only Li Siwen with him. Li Mu lit the incense brought by Sun before leaving, and bowed to him with great tribute. Li Siwen also bowed beside him. The two of them stood up. Li Mu saw Jin Chen standing at the door of the ancestral hall, holding a bouquet of incense in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Come here."
Li Siwen opened his mouth and was blocked by Li Mu. Li Siwen leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered: "Brother, this woman is not a family member, so it's not suitable."
"There are not so many rules, so I am a friend no matter what." Li Mu thought to himself. If I talk about family members, I am not. Li Gan was originally Li Mu's adoptive father, and he was not related by blood. I am a fake. If this fake is more fake, I am afraid there is not much difference from Jin Chen.
After Jin Chen finished worship, Li Mu looked at the furnishings of the ancestral hall. Generally speaking, he had tried his best and had no place to find fault. But Li Mu still felt a little deserted when he saw only one tablet. Li Ganfu had a short life and died early, the Sun family could not give birth, and there were no descendants. She has now remarried Tang Jian, and Li Gan is really a lonely ghost.
Li Mu sighed, called the county magistrate over and said, "Is there any wood for making this kind of tablet? Go and find a piece of it."
"Ah?" County Magistrate Zhang subconsciously wanted to ask if it was Li Mu's mother... Fortunately, he held back the words and didn't even make a fart. He called the master over and did it. After a while, the master brought a tablet, Li Mu asked for gold paint, picked up his pen and wrote the word Li Mu on the tablet.
The person next to him was startled. Li Siwen hurriedly grabbed Li Mu's hand and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Why haven't you... set up a tablet for yourself?"
"As a son, I cannot be filial, I can only accompany you in this way." Li Mu blocked Li Siwen's hand and said, "Don't stop me, I have decided."
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt awe-inspiring. Without saying anything, they all secretly admired it. Although this marquis is eccentric, he is really a filial son!
How could they know that this tablet was set up by Li Mu for the original Li Mu. This was also a knot in his heart. He always felt sorry for the original Li Mu. It was a disguised compensation for erecting a tablet for him and allowing him to receive some incense.
After staying for a while, everyone left the ancestral hall. It was already at the lunch point. At Zhang Fa's kind invitation, Li Mu and his group came to the county government for dinner, and Su Dingfang and other soldiers also received their own hospitality.
Zhang Fa brought all the good things that could be found in Mayi to the table, and prepared the good wine he bought from Dingxiang winery. He was ready to take the relationship with Li Mu further at the table, but things went against his wishes. He brought the dishes. Before he could sit down, he was sent by Li Muyi when he didn't like to see strangers when he was having dinner.
Zhang Fa was almost so angry that he exploded on the spot. A strange person? From yesterday to now, the county has served like a grandson, both catching up with and flattering, and is still a strange person? Why is this person not favored? He really doesn't want to be a son of humanity, he is completely unstoppable!
There were only four people left on the dining table, Li Mu and Li Siwen, as well as Jin Chen and Yinyue. Seeing that County Magistrate Zhang left, Li Mu picked up the wine pot, Jin Chen hurriedly took it over and poured a glass of wine for him. Li Siwen picked up the wine pot and waited, but Jin Chen seemed to have no sight, and his eyes were only placed on Li Mu. Li Siwen was bored, so he had to pick up the wine pot and pour a glass for himself. He looked at Yinyue's wine glass and was also empty, and kindly wanted to pour a glass for her, but Yinyue glanced at him and quietly moved his glass away.
When has Li Ershou ever been so ignored? And the other party was a little maid, so he stared at him in anger and said, "I said why are you ungrateful? Young Master, no, I poured you wine, I gave you enough face, why are you still--"
“I can’t drink.”
"No?" Li Siwen became even more angry and said, "Why can't it be? Even if you don't, you should be polite. I'll pour you over and you won't drink it? How embarrassed do you say you are like this? I'm a general, I--"
"Okay, why are you doing for the little girl?" Li Mu said to stop him. Li Siwen said unhappy: "Brother, I'm justified, I didn't bully her."
Yin Yue looked at it and poured a cup of her eyes closed and drank it, as if she was swallowing poison. Seeing this, Li Siwen pointed and said to Li Mu: "Brother, you see it. This girl is so angry. Now it seems that I'm bullying someone. I'm wronged!"
"Why is it endless? Say a few words." Li Mu picked up the wine glass and said to Jin Chen: "I know that the girl has something to do. If you and I know each other, I will never give up on me. But I want to say that I don't like the way the girl does things. When you and I first met, the girl made up her mind to make things with love. This is one, and then she lied and followed me all the way, and this is two. The girl was not sincere in treating me, so I naturally couldn't get close to the girl. But the girl served her diligently all the way, and I appreciated it. This glass of wine was toasted to the girl, just to see her off-the-show wine-" After saying that, she raised her head and drank it.
Seeing this, Li Siwen also raised her head and drank.
But Jin Chen didn't drink it, Li Mu frowned and said, "Why don't the girl drink it? My meaning has been expressed very clearly-"
Suddenly, a dizziness came, Li Mu widened his eyes and fell straight on the table.
"Oh? Brother, why are you drunk-"
