Chapter 199: Home Searching? (Big Fengtui)
"Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh!"
Li Mu sneezes three times in a row, grabbed the rice paper on his hand, crumpled and blew his nose.
Unfortunately, he caught a cold.
I don’t know if it was the evil wind that blew, but when I woke up this morning, my nose started to be blocked. My head was also a little fever, which scared Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien. You know, in this era, colds can kill people.
So he quickly asked Dugu Jiu to invite Sun Simiao over. When Sun Simiao saw him like this, he knew that he had been infected with the cold. He prescribed a dose of "Xiao Chaihu Decoction" and ordered a dose of it every morning and evening. Li Mu had just finished drinking the medicine and was sweating in a quilt.
Bai Qiaoqiao originally planned to go to Jingdong Market early in the morning, because Li Mu's affairs were delayed. She wanted to be with Li Mu, but Li Mu was unwilling to do so. As a time traveler, although she was not a medical practitioner, Li Mu also knew that the cold virus could be transmitted through the air. He was afraid that it would be transmitted to Bai Qiaoqiao, so he drove the two girls away and he was no longer in the backyard. He wrapped himself in a quilt and sat on a rocking chair in the studio, feeling the loneliness he deserved as a patient.
When people are sick, they are very fragile. When they have a fever, they are prone to random thoughts. Li Mu looked at the hammer on the workbench with a dull look.
"Boss, do you eat jerky?"
Li Chongyi asked through the door panel. Li Mu's throat was sore and he was too lazy to talk, but when he thought about it, he was idle and could grind his teeth while eating some beef jerky, so he said 'um'.
Li Chongyi pushed open the door and handed the beef jerky to Li Mu. Li Mu looked up at him and pointed to the door. Only then did Li Chongyi turn around and go out.
When he was sick, Li Mu wanted to stay alone. He threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth, chewed slowly, and drowsy. He knew nothing about the outside world, and he didn't know that at this time, Eunuch Gao and his group rushed towards Zhulu Hou Mansion like wolves and tigers.
At the same time, there was a carriage. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhulu Marquis' Mansion, an old man got off the carriage, put a newspaper in his sleeve, and came to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. He hesitated several times but still couldn't muster up the courage to knock on the door knocker.
After standing at the door for a while, the old man sighed and grabbed the door knocking twice. He thought to himself, if anyone heard it, go in. If no one heard it, forget it and turn around and go home.
The door creaked open, and Zhao Youcai poked his head out and saw that it was an old man. He quickly bowed and said, "May I ask, you are..."
"I am Kong Yingda, I'm here to visit Zhulu Hou."
"Kong, Kong Ying..." Zhao Youcai was surprised. As the concierge of Zhulu Marquis's mansion, Zhao Youcai knew very well. How could Kong Yingda come to the door in person? He also used the word "visit" to put himself in the last position and elevate Li Mu. This is not normal!
However, Zhao Youcai did not dare to neglect. Kong Yingda was one of the most famous scholars in the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Mu didn't care about him, he still respected people like Zhao Youcai. Now that Li Mu was infected with the cold, he did not dare to put people in at will. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Kong, unfortunately, the Marquis was infected with the cold and was recuperating now, and he did not see any foreign guests... But since it was you, I went in and spread it. If you saw it or not, the Marquis would have to decide by himself."
Kong Yingda was a little embarrassed, and when he heard this, he seemed to have an excuse, he hurriedly said, "Then I will be another day..." Before he could say anything, Zhao Youcai had closed the door and ran back. Kong Yingda sighed and thought that the servant of the Zhulu Marquis' Mansion was also infected with Li Mu's habits and did not listen to others at all, and was in a hurry.
Zhao Youcai ran to the door of the studio and saw the second general squatting at the door, one was wiping the sword and the other was eating beef jerky. The two of them heard his footsteps and didn't raise their heads. Zhao Youcai didn't dare to be upset. He was a servant, and the two masters in front of him were Li Mu's brothers, which was essentially different from him. Zhao Youcai looked at Li Chongyi and was worried. Relatively speaking, Dugu Jiu looked at him kinder, came to him, and whispered: "Young Master Dugu, you are here."
Dugu Jiu raised his head: "Hmm?"
"Kong Yingda, he said he would come to visit the Marquis."
"oh."
Dugu Jiu stood up, knocked on the door, and said, "Brother, Kong Yingda is here and said he wants to visit him."
"Kong..." Li Mu was almost asleep. When he heard Kong Yingda's name, he suddenly felt enlightened. He knew why Kong Yingda came. When he was sick, what would make people feel more comfortable when he was ridiculed? He immediately sat up straight and said, "Please come here!"
Zhao Youcai listened sincerely and ran back to the door without giving instructions and took Kong Yingda outside the studio.
Through the doors and windows, Li Mu saw Kong Yingda's shadow, cleared his throat, and said, "Old Kong, I'm sorry, I'm infected with the cold. I'm afraid I'll infect you, so I won't invite you in. What's the matter with me? Just say that."
Kong Yingda took a deep breath, clenched his fists and loosened them, loosened them and clenched them. After repeated this several times, he finally made up his mind and said, "Marquis Zhulu, I am convinced! I have read today's newspaper. The wonderful theories of Zhulu Hou have opened my eyes and admired me. I will resign from the position of Imperial College tomorrow and let Yu Zhulu Hou!"
"Hahaha……"
These three laughs were not Li Mu's laughter, but the sick feeling of squeezing out laughing. But in fact, Li Mu was not so sick, so he pretended to do it on purpose.
Li Mu said in a weak voice: "Old Confucius, I didn't expect you to take it so seriously. Do you really plan to resign from office?"
"no sooner said than done!"
"Old Confucius!" Li Mu held back his laughter and sighed, "Why don't you understand my hard work? I'm writing this article to ridicule you?"
Kong Yingda was so angry that his head was smoking. Are you not trying to ridicule me? The last paragraph of your "Talk of Teachers": Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius, was fifty-six years old. He liked to be a teacher, but did not understand the way of being a teacher. He asked me. Yu praised him for his love of learning and wrote "Talk of Teachers" to give it to him.
You're saying so obvious, aren't you ridiculing it?
Just as Kong Yingda was about to speak, he heard Li Mu say, "Of course, I can't say anything ridiculed. But you have to believe me, old Confucius, ridiculing you is not the point, the point is to let you correct your mistakes. Look at my master's article, from beginning to end, which sentence is not Confucianism. You are a descendant of Confucius, so naturally Confucianism. But why can't you think of these? This is the difference between genius and mediocre."
"You can't blame you, Old Confucius. People's talents cannot be chosen. Look at me, I can only read for half a year, and read Confucius and Mencius for three months. But I can only read the essence, and you, Old Confucius, you have been studying Confucius and Mencius for more than fifty years and went astray... Alas, is it pitiful? It's pitiful! Alas, alas..."
Li Mu was almost laughing out loud, and suddenly he heard a dense sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of drawing a sword. Li Mu could not see anything in the house and asked, "What's wrong? What's going on?"
Li Chongyi said in a deep voice: "Boss, this old bastard leads his troops to our mansion. I will strangle him to death now!"
"No, it's not my business..." Kong Yingda was pinched by Li Chongyi, his face turned red, and he was struggling to say a few words, and he was about to die. Fortunately, Eunuch Gao came over at this time. Seeing this scene, he quickly said: "Big man, stop, do you want to kill someone?!"
When Li Chongyi saw Eunuch Gao, he frowned. He knew Eunuch Gao and had seen him many times. When he saw him, he knew that this soldier was not brought by Kong Yingda. He let go of his hand, held the giant axe, blocked Dugu Jiu, and also blocked Dugu Jiu, with a strong aura.
When Li Mu heard the voice of Eunuch Gao, he stood up and opened the studio door. Seeing so many soldiers outside, he felt panicked. Could it be that his identity as a time traveler was exposed, which caused a murderous disaster?
When Eunuch Gao saw Li Mu wearing a quilt, he was stunned and said, "What's wrong with Master Marquis?"
Li Mu was relieved when he heard the word "Marquis". If the identity of the time traveler was exposed, Eunuch Gao would definitely not be like this. Since it was not revealed, Li Mu would have nothing to be afraid of. He coughed twice, tightened the quilt, and said, "It turns out that it is Eunuch Gao... Eunuch Gao, what are you doing? Are you trying to capture my home with so many soldiers? Where did I offend you, my father-in-law, actually, is he going to kill me?"
"Oh!" Eunuch Gao came over quickly, but when he saw Li Mu coughing, he didn't dare to get close. He stood there about five meters and said, "The Marquis misunderstood. It's not our family who wants to bring troops. It was His Majesty who sent us. Someone impeached you. Marquis, your face doesn't seem to be very good. What's wrong?"
"There is no blessing, but misfortune never comes alone. I just diagnosed with a brain disease, and now I'm suffering from a cold again! I might be over and dying!" Li Mu coughed again and sighed: "Impossessed today, and I'll be impeached tomorrow. Who did I offend? Caused a group of mad dogs biting me! Alas! Now I'm sick and don't know how long I can live. Why do these people refuse to let me go! God..."
When Eunuch Gao saw Li Mu like this, he felt a little uncertain. On the way he came, he actually believed what Lu Zhilin and Wei Zheng said. But seeing Li Mu like this, it was obvious that he was infected with wind and cold. First, there was brain disease, and then wind and cold, which was really unlucky enough.
Kong Yingda, who had just changed his breath, heard this and wanted to expose Li Mu like a conditioned reflex. What's going to die? When Li Mu was ridiculing someone, he didn't look dead at all. Judging from his pretending now, he was clearly lying!
Just as he was about to speak, Li Chongyi glared at him, and he wanted to survive and quickly turned him back.
