Chapter 86 Self-assertion
Li Mu never dreamed that one day he would do such a ridiculous thing, so casual, it would be like his elder brother's style.
He likes to be low-key in his behavior. Because of his identity, he never likes to meddle in other people's business, for fear that if he is not careful, he will cause trouble. After all, he does not only represent himself, but also the entire Li family behind him. So in the woods outside Pufa Temple, he clearly saw Qin Daixin being tied up, but did not help him, so that he would not involve too much.
Unexpectedly, after he went to Sifangshan to meet Duan Xing, he would think of the scene outside the woods from time to time, and the woman surnamed Qin who was obviously weak but heroic. Seeing that he was worried all day long, Duan Xing asked, "He could not withstand the soft and hard work of this righteous brother, and finally told the whole story."
Duan Xing is a master who is not afraid of trouble. There is nothing he is not interested in in the world. He heard that a group of bandits had tied up people, but he didn't care. He cared about his brother's attitude. Yiran was obsessed with the woman who had only seen him from afar. It was really a strange thing in the world.
He tried to persuade his brothers to intervene in this matter. On the surface, it was for the sake of morality and stability of conscience. In fact, he just wanted to see what kind of woman actually had such charm and torture Mr. Li Mu, who regarded women as dirt, into this.
The two knew that the bandits were just a group of dirty people and had no great ability, so they asked the spies to go down the mountain to investigate their whereabouts and go to save people the next day. But when they arrived at the hill, they only saw a group of people who looked like constables cursing down from the mountain, and there was also a house that was burnt out of shape. They were confused and decided to inquire well, so they decided to stay at the foot of the mountain to find clues about the bandits and the whereabouts of the Miss Qin.
Li Mu found the Li family's business in Taizhou and sent the manager to inquire about the famous family of Qin. Although the manager did not understand the meaning of the second young master Li, he was also a translucent thought. He guessed that this might be the second young master's private affairs, so he went to inquire without asking. As a result, he found out that there was only a more prestigious businessman named Qin in Taizhou City. When Li Mu learned that Miss Qin was not a lady from an official family, but a daughter of a businessman, he was deeply surprised. He went to the Qin family's shop with Duan Xing, hoping to do business to find out whether the lady was safe. But he knew that it would be so coincidental that he met Qin Congwen to check the shop.
Li Mu was embarrassed to say that he would not save him when he was dead, and only said that he had met the third lady. Qin Congwen was a little surprised. He didn't know when his daughter met such a young man. He felt a little unhappy and thought that this daughter was really shameless when she met a man in private. When he thought about this, his face suddenly became unfair.
Li Mu knew countless people, so how could he not understand his thoughts? He calmly told Qin Congwen his identity in his ear, and he really saw that Qin Congwen didn't believe it, but he had an excited look that could not be concealed.
It is an indisputable fact that merchants are based on interests. Qin Congwen would not be confused about what the "Jiangdong Li Family" means. Although he doesn't like his daughter doing anything that hinders the family style, if the partner is the Li family in Jiangdong, it will be different. If he marrys his daughter and can climb the big tree of the Li family, the benefits the Qin family will be endless. How could he blame his daughter? He wished that there was something between the two, which was also the reason why his attitude was very different after learning about Li Mu's identity.
Li Mu was in trouble at this time. If he didn't explain his identity, he was afraid that the girl would be exhausted by his whim curiosity and would damage her reputation. Now that his identity has been exposed, I believe that Mr. Qin would not let him leave easily, and would definitely try his best to win over his big tree.
As expected, Qin Congwen invited Li Mu to the mansion for various reasons. Li Mu knew the nature of a businessman. These people were all old foxes, and they were extremely smart. They were all light-hearted on their faces. They valued nothing but interests in their bones.
He was unwilling to be the target of being exploited, so he politely refused.
However, Qin Congwen was also a smart person. After thinking about it, he retreated and invited the two to dinner with the name of "slighting the friendship of the landlord". Even though Li Mu was unwilling, he couldn't refuse people from thousands of miles a day and then agreed. Qin Congwen told them vaguely during the meal that his third daughter was tied up by bandits a few days ago, but she was not hurt at all and returned after a disaster...
This move was indeed effective. Not only Duan Xing was so curious that he was dying, but even Li Mu, who had always been calm, wanted to know how she escaped from danger, so the second son of the Li family in Jiangdong visited the Qin Mansion!
The gifts prepared by Li Mu came to visit the Qin Mansion as agreed on the eighth day of the lunar month. Of course, he had to bring his righteous brother Duan Xing, who loved to watch the fun. The two came to the door of the mansion, handed over a letter to explain their identity, and waited for the servant to communicate. However, Li Mu and the others did not wait for the servant to send a message, but waited for Mr. Qin. Qin Congwen personally welcomed the two into the mansion and came to the main hall to talk. After the guests and guests sat down, the servants brought the brewed tea, snacks and other items and retreated and waited outside the hall.
"Master Qin, this is a little bit of care. I hope you don't dislike me!"
"You are too polite, what Mr. Li said? "How could Qin Congwen not hear that others are being polite to him? "Zicheng, this is Mr. Li Mu, whom I mentioned to you for your father." On the one hand, Qin Congwen was afraid that the two of them were too old, so he found his eldest son Qin Zicheng to accompany him. On the other hand, he also hoped that Qin Zicheng could make such a friend, stand alone as soon as possible, and develop the Qin family's career better.
"I have long admired the name of my young master, but I don't want to be so young and lose my respect." Qin Zicheng never expected that the second young master Li of Jiangdong, who was dominating the business world, was such a jade-faced man. He had a pair of affectionate eyes, and there seemed to be a vague smile on the corner of his mouth. In addition, he was born in a wealthy family, but he did not have the breath of a playboy. His whole person looked like a piece of beautiful jade and made people feel extremely comfortable.
"Brother Qin doesn't have to be so polite. This is my sworn brother, my surname is Duan." Li Mu had a faint smile on his face, but he did not mean to talk further. This is also a manifestation of his politeness to his slutty and politeness.
Although Duan Xing didn't like such occasions, he didn't want to embarrass his brothers, so he hugged the Qin father and son and said hello.
"Mr. Li and Mr. Duan are really lucky to visit the humble house in their lives. It is better to let Qin slightly become a landlord. It is still early at this time. I told the kitchen to prepare good wine and good food to entertain you. I hope you don't dislike the thin wine and the thin food."
Li Mu thought that since he had come, don’t make people unhappy, right? He said immediately: “Since that’s the case, he should be the guest and follow the host’s will.”
When Qin Congwen heard that he agreed, he was naturally happy and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li and his daughter are old friends. We don't pay attention to the scammers of literati's sour rules. I'll ask her to come over and talk to the master."
Duan Xing is a man from the martial arts world and does not like the fallacies of literati. At this time, he saw Qin Congwen being so pretentious and even called the two people he didn't know as "old friends" relationships, and he became disdainful now.
When he entered the door, he was a guest, and the other party was Li Mu's righteous brother, and he was also a rough man. Although Qin Congwen didn't like him very much, he felt that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only treat him as if he didn't see him, so he took advantage of this opportunity to ask Qin Zicheng to send someone to invite Qin Daixin.
In a short while, footsteps came from outside the hall. When everyone was surprised that the stranger was coming so quickly, they saw a red whirlwind approaching. When the Qin father and son saw her, they all showed a headache. On the other hand, Li Mu and Duan Xing, the former frowned slightly, while the latter looked excited.
Qin Qianxin, who had caused trouble, didn't know it. Her eyes were slightly swept in the hall. In addition to the father and brother, there was a bearded man in the hall, a handsome young man with a jade-like clothes and a white-haired lips. Qin Qianxin knew that this person was Li Mu, and thought that the rumors were true. This second young man from Jiangdong was indeed a man of a jade-faced man, and he was a little more handsome than Jia Erye of the Jia family. She turned red and quickly withdrew her gaze, came to Qin Congwen, saluted and said, "Father, my daughter heard that there was a distinguished guest at home. I came here to see you. You don't blame your daughter for making her own decisions, right?"
