Li Siwen got off the platform and headed straight for Li Mu, grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, come to the yamen, let's have two drinks! It's just right for me to practice my alcohol tolerance."

"Forget it, I drink all my wine. I have to sell it for money. I will pay for one jar of wine." Li Mu said, and was about to throw Li Siwen away and go home, but he held on his feet. Li Mu said helplessly: "Mr. County Magistrate, the sun is set, and the emperor is not a hungry soldier. You can also let the officials rest!"

"Oh, isn't there anything else?" Over the past few days, the two of them have become familiar with each other. Li Siwen has no airs. When they have something to ask for, Li Mu is more like a county magistrate, and he is a county magistrate. "Didn't you send out three jars of wine a few days ago? My father and Duke Wei both wrote back. My father learned that we were doing business together and it was rare to praise me. Duke Wei sent five silver cakes, a total of fifty taels of silver, and wanted to buy twenty jars of wine. How about this deal?

"Fifty taels, twenty taels, two taels and five cents per jar..." Li Mu calculated that it was five times more expensive than his initial price of five cents. This transaction is not a loss. He glanced at Li Siwen and said, "I took this transaction, but it can be said that it is ahead. There is no formal cooperation yet. I am the one who provides the materials and work on this wine. I can't share the money with you."

"I'll send you these little money! I'll give it to you all!" Li Siwen said cheerfully, paused for a moment, and then said, "My father also needs ten jars, these ten jars..."

Li Mu also said readily: "Just treat me as a filial piety to my junior, I don't have any money."

"I'm sorry to do this." Li Siwen laughed and suddenly looked away, and said seriously: "My brother, don't talk about these useless things anymore. I'm leaving you behind because I want to tell you something."

Seeing that Li Siwen was rarely serious, Li Mu couldn't help but become serious and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Siwen sighed and said, "Do you still remember the day you first brewed wine, when I went to your house to find you, and then got drunk?"

"It's only been a few days, of course I remember!"

"Oh! I was drunk that day. Actually, I went to find you because I had something to tell you." Li Siwen said with a sad face, "My father scolded me, saying that I wanted to be the magistrate of Dingxiang County, and said that I was a nonsense when I was talking about the important border towns. How could I use my Huangkou child to guard him? He could not refute His Majesty's order, but he could take care of his son. When his army returned, he would ask me to resign."

Li Siwen squatted down, stared at the western sunset with his eyes blankly, and sighed: "I can't understand why my father refused to believe me once. Today he wrote to praise me. I was quite happy, but just now I suddenly thought that he praised me not because of this wine, but because I finally found a living. If I was willing to return to Chang'an to do this wine deal with you, it would be his wish."

What can Li Mu say about such housework? He didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to pat Li Siwen on the shoulder and said, "What can I help you?"

Li Siwen smiled and said, "You are already helping me. Look, now the city wall is almost repaired, and refugees are also resettling, and all kinds of things are in order. I believe that when my father's army returns, if I see such a scene, I will definitely recognize me. If he still insists on taking me back to Chang'an, I have no choice. My son cannot violate his father's order. At that time, I will be with you, be a playboy, and hang out with you, and I will not feel bored."

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's right to think so. Do your best in everything. Even if you can't do it, you won't regret it. Haven't you returned to Chang'an yet? Doing your daily work well, even if you go back, it's a good memory." After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, "I have to go home, and the sun will be gone soon. Qiaoqiao should be anxious at home."

"Go, people with wives are different!" Li Siwen also stood up and waved to Li Mu.

Just as the two were saying goodbye, a quarrel suddenly came from the small square. Li Mu and Li Siwen both heard it. They looked at each other and walked over side by side. Seeing this, the constable next to them followed.

"What's the noise? Everyone is standing on both sides. The county magistrate is here, and there is a judgment!" The constables stepped forward and separated the two sides of the dispute. Li Siwen and Li Mu came closer and saw that both sides of the dispute were women and children. On the left side were an old woman and a child, and on the right side was an old woman responsible for cooking at the construction site. Looking at the ground, there was half a steamed bun, and the child on the left was still holding half of the hand. Li Siwen scratched his head and asked, "But this child stole food?"

The cooking woman on the right knelt on the ground and said, "Report to adults, this child is ten years old this year. According to the rules set by adults, he can get food. According to the rules, Lao Shi gives him a steamed bun. But after eating a steamed bun, he has to take another steamed bun. He asked him why, he didn't say anything. Lao Shi is responsible for the food of the official family, so he can't give it at will. So Lao Shi didn't give it. Unexpectedly, the child snatched it and ran away. We had to chase it from behind and chased it all the way here, and only then did we know that the child was going to give it to the old woman. You said, free food does not support lazy people. I think this old woman is older, but she has no illness or disaster and looks very good. She doesn't look like a person who can't work. If she helps pick a dish, she will give it to her. But she doesn't make anything, so she can't give it to her. This is the rule you set by you!"

"Well... this statement is reasonable." Li Siwen nodded and looked at the old woman on the left. The old woman, with white hair as snow, looked like she was about 60 years old, but her overall look was not as old as that old. And from her appearance, she could vaguely see her spirit in the past. When she was young, she must have been a beautiful woman with a splendid temperament. Li Siwen couldn't help but wonder, where did such a noble person come from in this remote countryside? How could such a person fall to the point where he could not even eat?

"You haven't heard what I said, "You are both hands and feet, and you are not sick or ill. Why don't you join the labor? I know you are not young and may not be able to do your work. I don't ask you to do more and less. You must have a good attitude. People are right. This free grain and rice do not support lazy people. You don't do anything, so how can you have the nerve to eat?"

Hearing Li Siwen say this, the old woman's face turned red with shame and did not dare to face the eyes of everyone. After a long time of silence, she said, "I...I, I can't work."

Although the first word "Ben?" is soft, Li Siwen is still heard when he is close. He can't help but feel moved. This person who calls himself "Ben" can't work yet? What is his identity? I? I am the commander? I am the palace?
