Li Mu really looked at him with admiration. Bai Qiaoqiao was really surprised by how he thought of these things.

He has always been a disguised protection when he went home. He wanted Bai Qiaoqiao to live a simple life and did not want the things he faced or the pressure he took to pass on to him.

Li Zhien always said that Bai Qiaoqiao was stupid, which was considered to be Li Mu deliberately. He wanted Bai Qiaoqiao to be stupid and sweet, so that he could live a peaceful and happy life in the space he supported. This was what he wanted to do for Bai Qiaoqiao.

But now it seems that he made a mistake in his judgment. Bai Qiaoqiao's intelligence is far beyond his imagination.

Bai Qiaoqiao saw Li Mu's surprise and said, "What's so surprising about this? Mrs. Mudan has already married... How can she remarry?"

"oh……"

Li Mu was so amused and crying. He suddenly felt a little ridiculous. After analyzing so much, it turned out that the other person's idea was so simple.

"Qiaoqiao, my husband asked you something." Li Mu held Bai Qiaoqiao's shoulder and asked sincerely: "If... I mean, if, if, if you and I live in an era where a man can only have one woman and a woman can only marry a man. I am so fickle, would you be jealous?"

Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Husband, you are starting to think randomly again. How could there be such a time? Although I don't understand many principles, I have seen it. Just say that the Ma Lark from Mayi made some money selling fur goods and was still thinking about marrying another house. Those Turkic people are brave enough to steal many women? Awesome men have to have many women around them... Husband, you are so powerful and know everything, how can I be the only woman?"

"Mrs. Mudan can do business again and can help her husband. It's all for our family's sake. I am your wife, so what else is unhappy? I just hope you can always take me to heart, so that Qiaoqiao will be very content."

Li Mu frowned and listened to Bai Qiaoqiao's words, and understood a little in his heart. It turned out that this was not a question of jealousy or not. But in Bai Qiaoqiao's heart, she didn't think it was a problem at all. This was completely different from the idea of ​​later generations who demanded freedom, liberation, equal rights, and even overly sensitive feminist people.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the same is true. This is the Tang Dynasty, and it was the early Tang Dynasty. The chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was only about ten years, and it took only five or six years for the Li Tang to completely pacify the world. Whether it is the Central Plains or the Western Regions, killings are everywhere, such as men, women, children and old people, and wars are just a must.

A slave is only two or two in the West Market. A cow can match five or even ten people. In such an era when life is worse than livestock, a woman has no other way to survive and can only rely on men. A woman’s status depends entirely on her man’s status.

The empress's man is the emperor, so she is the empress. Bai Qiaoqiao's man is Li Mu, so she can be awarded the fifth-rank imperial edict. And the maids in the mansion can only be present.

If we judge according to the thinking of later generations, some people will ask, will the maid have no human rights?

Yes, in this era, maids have no human rights. They are slaves, they are maids, and they are just "property" that can be bought and sold and given to others.

Bai Qiaoqiao's consciousness was formed in such a social environment. Therefore, her basic demand was just to want Li Mu to have her in his heart. It was just that Li Mu loved her more than others. She never thought that Li Mu loved her in his life, because she subconsciously thought that this was impossible.

Even the jealous Li Zhien just wanted to be a favored concubine under his wife. What she wanted was to be the most favored concubine under Bai Qiaoqiao. She regarded Wang Ou as a competitor, but was only worried that Wang Ou would share too much of Li Mu's favor and worry about losing favor. Because she was a concubine, not a wife, all her authority in the mansion came from Li Mu's favor. If she lost favor, she would have no difference from other maids in the mansion.

After this analysis, Li Mu suddenly felt cheerful. So that's what happened.

Li Mu kissed Bai Qiaoqiao's lips and said, "Madam, thank you."

"Thank you?" Bai Qiaoqiao said inexplicably: "What are you thanking?"

"Nothing, thank you." Li Mu yawned and hugged Bai Qiaoqiao in his arms: "Thank you for being my wife."

After saying that, Li Mu closed his eyes and went to bed. Bai Qiaoqiao was a little confused, but she didn't ask again. She pulled the quilt, nestled in Li Mu's arms, and closed her eyes and fell asleep. After a while, she fell asleep.

But Li Mu didn't fall asleep, and he was a little conflicted.

After all, he is a person who has traveled through time, and his thoughts are also the thoughts of his previous life. Under such thoughts, he felt that he had "bullied" Qiaoqiao. But Qiaoqiao didn't think so, but felt that it was normal.

But the problem is that guilt is not based on the other party’s thoughts, but starts from his own heart. Li Mu really feels guilty, what should I do?

In addition, he never touched Li Zhien and Wang Ou, and he did not say everything. Qiaoqiao guessed one, and there were two others. One of them was this guilt. His personal idealism actually hoped that a monogamous wife and Qin Se Ming would grow old together. However, he also wanted three wives and four concubines to travel for a while. The two contradictions made him not very dare to take this step. To put it bluntly, he was a little cowardly.

And for the last reason, he never dared to think deeply. Somehow, Li Mu's intuition told him that whether it was Li Zhien or Wang Ou, they would leave him sooner or later. Because these two women had their own secrets and secrets that they refused to tell. Bai Qiaoqiao was different. They grew up together. In Li Mu's memory, although Li Mu's original conversation with Bai Qiaoqiao was not sarcastic, everything about her was very clear. This made Li Mu feel very safe. He didn't have to be careful, he didn't have to think or guess. He knew that a positive answer, no matter what he became, Bai Qiaoqiao would not leave him. It was visible or touched.

"Ouch..."

Li Mu rubbed his swollen temples and suddenly felt a body arching over on his left. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Li Zhien's quilt that was kicked off by her at some point. It was cold and squeezed over in a daze.

Li Mu also put her in his arms, feeling the warmth on both sides, and his heart slowly calmed down.

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly felt that he was very pretentious. A very big man was so insecure. He smiled like a self-deprecatingly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

...

The next morning, Li Mu got up. After breakfast, the doorman Zhao Youcai came to report and Huang Qi came to say goodbye. Li Mu came to the lobby, Huang Qi and Qian Dahai were both there. When he saw Li Mu coming, he quickly stood up to salute.

Li Mu waved his hand and signaled the two to sit down.

Huang Qi said: "Mr. Marquis, everything is ready as you told me. The grain truck and the workers are waiting outside the city gate. I will say goodbye to the Marquis. What else should I give to the Marquis? Or do you have anything to tell me to send to the young master?"

Li Mu handed him the tiger fur package and said, "This is what I made for Siwen, please give it to him. In addition, tell him that I will take care of Chang'an, so he doesn't have to worry about it, so I will write more letters... And my brother-in-law, ask Siwen to find him a teacher, without learning, at least a few words. If you have time, write a letter back so that my father-in-law won't be worried about it. There is nothing else."

"Oh, the journey is long, and the winter solstice is coming, and the food is being transported. If you encounter a bandit, you must be more careful. If you really have a bad luck, saving your life is important. Never try to fight to the death, because that little food is not worth it. Our wine brewers are much more expensive than food. But remember that food can be given, and wine koji must be destroyed."

Li Mu said word by word: "Wine music, you must not leave your body for a moment."

Huang Qi certainly knew the value of wine music, and focused on the key points, saying: "Mr. Marquis, please rest assured. There are many guards accompanying you. You can ensure that there is no harm. In case of an accident, as long as Huang Qi's life is there, wine music will not fall into the hands of others."

"Okay, let's go, I won't give you a gift. Let your old partner give you a ride for me." Li Mu said, looking at Qian Dahai next to him, and said, "Old Qian, I'll pay you a gift to Manager Huang. From now on, the winery will count on you."

Qian Dahai hurriedly said, "Thank you for your appreciation and trust in the Marquis. I, Qian Dahai, will definitely live up to the Marquis' cultivation!"

"It's easy to say, go."

The two of them said goodbye and left. Li Mu returned to the backyard to clean up, called Li Chongyi and Dugu Jiu, and went out to work at the Ministry of Works.

His affairs in the past few days were densely arranged. Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining Industry initially won a framework, and there was a big business of the Ministry of Industry waiting for him to deal with. The first thing that was the "factory" that promised Li Daliang before. Li Daliang had already found all the war orphans, but Li Mu had not been able to cash in. If Li Mu had not raised these children with money and gave them food, Li Daliang would have come to him.

Of course, it is not enough to keep it. There is no good thing in the world that you are free to eat and work. Today, Li Mu will solve this matter. When he was "get off work" yesterday, he had already given instructions. This morning, all the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Works and these orphans of war came to the small square in front of the Ministry of Works' office to gather. He announced a very important matter.

Li Mu has now been deified in the Ministry of Works. In the hearts of the craftsmen, he is like a god. Since Li Mu came to the Ministry of Works, the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works have been getting better and better day by day and gradually gained status. During this period, since the Tang Dynasty Daily announced the warm kang and fire wall, the dignitaries from Chang'an lined up to come to the Ministry of Works to invite craftsmen to build warm kang and fire wall at home, and they were very polite. Not only were they delicious and served, but they also paid a lot of money.
