Chapter 86: Gratitude and Righteousness
When Li Mu came to the yard, he saw Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao looking around the big man. As if he had seen something new, he quickly came to the front and said, "Mom, this is the slave I bought in the West Market today. From now on, he will be our guard."
"Slave?" Sun's family has lived in the border town for a long time and is familiar with the word slave. But she didn't expect that the Li family would be able to raise slaves one day. She looked at the big man again and said, "This child is strong, very good, he spent a lot of money, right?"
"It's just two stale money, not too much." Li Mu said, seeing Bai Qiaoqiao and Sun holding a lot of things, they winked at the big man. The big man was stunned for a moment and reached out to take it. Li Mu said again: "Big man, this is my mother, this is my wife, can you recognize it?"
"Yeah!" The big man responded for a moment, and then he lost his words. He had never said a word since he bought him back from Xishi. Li Mu was very curious if this guy couldn't speak, but he was not a mute. He had to ask later.
When he entered the room and saw the little girl, Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao were both stunned. Bai Qiaoqiao hadn't had much trouble yet, and a look of vigilance appeared in Sun's eyes. When he looked at Li Mu again, his expression had already become cold.
"Hold on my knees!"
Li Mu was stunned: "Mom, why is this? Why is your son unhappy?"
"Kneel down!"
Li Mu had to kneel down, but was still confused. Bai Qiaoqiao saw that Li Mu had knelt down, so she had to kneel down, but Sun helped her arm up. Sun looked at the little girl standing next to her timidly, then looked at Li Mu, and said, "You bought this girl?"
"Well, didn't my son tell you the matter of giving the mansion to you in the morning? My son thought that it was a marquis' mansion and had to have a few servants, so he bought two slaves. The big man could be a guard and a groom, this girl could serve Qiaoqiao, and help cook..."
Sun stared at Li Mu and said, "It's just that? Isn't it better to serve people, cook, and find a woman to do it? You find such a little girl... she looks pretty beautiful. What do you mean? Son, don't be a clown, have a bad idea. I will tell you, I only recognize Qiaoqiao, this daughter-in-law. If you have your mother alive for a day, you should be honest with me, unless you don't recognize me!"
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, you really misunderstood me. So, I hid out. You asked her alone, how did I buy her and let her say, is this OK, right?"
Sun glanced at the little girl and said, "Okay, go outside the door and wait."
"Hey!" Li Mu responded with his eyebrows down, got up and pulled the big man to squat in the courtyard. When he got up, he secretly gave the little girl a wink and asked her to say it well. If he couldn't explain it clearly, the backyard would have a fire.
When he came to the stone table in the courtyard, Li Mu felt uneasy and had nothing to do when he was idle. He glanced at the big man standing next to him and said, "Big man, what's your name? Where are your hometown, and what relatives do you have?"
When the big man heard this, a hint of qi appeared on his face and said, "My name is Ni Keqinli. My home is in Bohai Martial Arts. All my relatives are dead, and I am the only one left."
It turned out that he could speak. Li Mu thought about it and asked again: "How did your family die and how did you get caught as a slave?"
A very obvious lie, Sun and Bai Qiaoqiao didn't notice it. Sun said with a heartache: "What a pitiful child, he doesn't even have a name. Since you have arrived at my Li family, so let my son give you a name, son, give this girl a name."
The little girl bowed to Li Muyingying and said timidly: "I'll ask the master to give me a name."
Li Mu looked at the little girl deeply and said, "The most important thing in life is to be kind and respectful. Today I have a fate. I bought you two, which can save your lives. I hope you can remember this kindness in your heart and not expect you to repay anything. I hope you can be kind and righteous, and don't harm my Li family in the future, nor do you cause trouble for the Li family. Since my mother asked me to name me, then take Li as the surname and respectful respectful. You will call him Li Zhien in the future, and the big man is Li Chongyi."
The little girl immediately bowed: "Li Zhien thanked the master for giving her name."
