Chapter 120 Storm

Li Mu was itchy, but after looking at the experience bar of upgrading to the intermediate level, he felt a little desperate. He estimated that it would take at least half a year to upgrade the intermediate level to the advanced level at the speed of upgrading to the intermediate level at the primary level, and it would take at least half a year. And the cost required was something he could not afford at the moment. Although he had about 10,000 pounds in his hand, he had already had a place to go, and the holes in the craftsman's workshop could not be blocked. He used money everywhere, and there was not much that could be used to upgrade his skills.

Li Mu sorted out what he had at hand. He built a craftsman workshop, reformed internally by the Ministry of Works, built a heaven and earth, and also made a curved plow, practiced calligraphy... It was too busy!

Li Mu decided to reduce the burden on himself and take time to upgrade his skills. The construction of the craftsman workshop can be handed over to Yuwengui, and the reform of the Ministry of Works will be left for the time being. In the heaven and earth, there is no need to worry about the experience. He goes to pay for his wages every afternoon, and Gongsun Kang can take care of the rest. The Quyuan Plough is still three parts to be done, and it will not take a whole morning to finish it. In this way, it seems that only the only thing left to practice calligraphy must be done by yourself.

Practicing calligraphy and upgrading skills are two things!

"Practice calligraphy, practice calligraphy... huh?" Li Mu suddenly had an idea in his mind, and his eyes lit up. He thought of a way, without practicing calligraphy, and could get praise from Li Shimin. Li Mu was a man who did it when he thought of it. He stopped eating breakfast now, called Li Chongyi to prepare horses and went out to the Ministry of Works. He passed by the West Market on the way and could buy whatever he wanted.

Inner house.

Bai Qiaoqiao had long known Li Mu's temperament. He knew that he was angry for a while and was not worried. He was sleeping all night. However, Li Zhien didn't know Li Mu's temper. He saw Li Mu angry last night. Although Bai Qiaoqiao comforted him politely, he tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much. When he woke up in the morning, two big dark circles hung on his face, and his whole complexion became a little wilted.

She originally thought that she would find Li Mu to admit her mistake and find a way to make him forgive herself. But when she arrived at the front yard, she happened to see Li Mu taking Li Chongyi and others out, and then returned to the back house depressedly. After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao woke up, and the maids served her for breakfast. When she found Li Mu, she learned that he had gone out. Bai Qiaoqiao didn't ask much, so she discussed with Li Zhien to do something.

Women were idle and always liked to go shopping. The social atmosphere was open in the Tang Dynasty. Without the rule of "not leaving the door without going out", it was normal for women to go shopping.

When Bai Qiaoqiao was in Mayi, she helped her family sell wine and feed her food. She always dealt with her outside and didn't like to keep it at home. It just so happened that she had almost used Rouge, so she asked the groom to prepare a car and took Li Zhien out to buy Rouge. Bai Qiaoqiao knew that Li Zhien was very thoughtful. Yesterday, Li Mu's appearance scared her and planned to buy a box of Rouge for her to comfort her. However, she did not expect that a normal trip would cause a storm.

There are two markets in Chang'an City, both markets, but they are very different. The West City is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the things sold are mixed, including livestock, slaves, cloth, and grain and tea. Just like the big market in later generations, basically people want to get and use them, and they sell here, and the prices are very reasonable. The East City is different. The transactions held here are all things that ordinary people cannot afford, such as spices, jewelry, silk, literary works, etc. Even if the things sold are the same as those in western markets, the prices are much higher, such as brand stores in later generations, the grades are different.

According to Bai Qiaoqiao's personality, she likes to go to the West Market. But since Li Mu set the rules that he had to bring his entourage when he went out, it was not convenient to go to the West Market to buy things. The West Market was crowded with crowds and inconvenient vehicles, and it was also particularly conspicuous with so many entourages. When he arrived in the East Market, it was very common to follow the carriages and entourages. Last time, Sun took Bai Qiaoqiao to the East Market to buy things, which included rouge and powder. Bai Qiaoqiao thought it was very good, so he planned to buy it again today.

The store is "Fuchun Pavilion" and has been open in Chang'an for many years. In the previous dynasty, this store was considered a time-honored brand and famous in Chang'an City. The shopkeeper's surname is Wang, and has been passed down for three generations. But what few people know is that this store is actually the industry of the Boling Cui family. The Boling Cui family is a thousand-year-old family with tentacles all over the Central Plains. Fuchun Pavilion is just one of them. The shopkeeper of Fuchun Pavilion was his ancestors and was promoted to the shopkeeper of Fuchun Pavilion because of his merits. Most of the annual profits are to be paid to the Cui family.

Manager Wang was originally doing business safely. Although most of the profits had to be paid, he was also very content. After all, he had no worries about food and clothing. With the big tree of the Cui family, no one dared to bully him. Life was quite smooth. But since Cui Yuyan, the eldest son of the Cui family, came to Chang'an, a peaceful life was gone. Mr. Cui didn't know what happened. He didn't look like a child of the Cui family at all, but like a rogue on the street. After knowing that Fuchun Pavilion was the property of the Cui family, he came to fight Qiufeng every few days.

At first, it was fine, but he just brought his female relatives to get some makeup for nothing. Later, he became even worse and started asking for money. Manager Wang didn't dare to offend him, so he had to grit his teeth and give it to him. Three, five, five, eight, ten, ten, and ten, and more. In the past six months, less than fifteen, ten, and no one can buy Ansheng.

Today is here again, and it will take twenty cents to open your mouth! Manager Wang really can't stand it anymore. The honest man is also a little bit rustic and doesn't give anything. He makes a very unhappy thing. Cui Yuyan said that he had squandered Manager Wang's errands within a month. After saying that, he walked out angrily. As soon as he arrived at the door, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien got out. Cui Yuyan recognized him at a glance, and was overjoyed and came up to pester. The entourage brought by Bai Qiaoqiao did not spoil him, and both sides fought. Manager Wang saw that Cui Yuyan suffered a loss, and he was also the master's master, so he had to help. He asked the shopkeeper to come up and help. Bai Qiaoqiao only brought four entourages, and more than ten people opposite him, so he was at a disadvantage. The carriage was surrounded, and Manager Wang reported to the official. The yamen runners came and took both sides to the Chang'an County Yamen.

The Chang'an County Yamen is located in Changshoufang west of the city, just next to the Ministry of Works, only one street from the Ministry of Works. This is the construction site of the craftsman's workshop, and the other side is the gate of the Changshoufang. There are so many people on the road, and many people are curious about inquiries. As people gather, there are a large area. Li Mu happened to come out of the Ministry of Works. Seeing this scene, he stopped the horse and planned to wait for someone to go over and leave. Li Chongyi is tall and big, and he can see farther than Li Mu. He saw Bai Qiaoqiao's carriage and shouted quickly: "Boss, the wife is caught by the yamen runners!"
