Chapter 219

Li Mu looked at Eunuch Gao's face with something wrong and asked, "Does my father-in-law think it's inappropriate?"

"No, no, no." Eunuch Gao hurriedly said, "The Marquis is magnanimous and touching. Our family is thinking that if the censors learned about the Marquis' decision, they would be very happy and ashamed of what they did the day before yesterday, they would definitely be as good as the Marquis wished."

"That's natural. I have always been magnanimous." Li Mu said as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm in Eunuch Gao's words.

"Okay, we must have brought it to you the same thing. If the Marquis has nothing else, our family will say goodbye first."

As Eunuch Gao said, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Dadfather-in-law, wait!"

Li Mu called out to Eunuch Gao, who looked back at Li Mu and said, "I wonder what instructions the marquis has?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Dadlock, I have been in a bad mood over the past few days. If my words hit my father-in-law, please take care of this little bit of politeness."

As he said that, he winked at Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi took off the coin bag on his waist, took out three gold bars and handed them over. The gold bars were melted and cast by Li Mu when he last received the shareholder's subscription. The gold on the market is usually a golden cake per pound. The gold bars melted and cast by Li Mu are in two standards.

"Big Yellow Crocodile" has 10 taels of weight, which is the same as the original golden cake. However, due to the change in shape, it is more convenient to carry. "Big Yellow Crocodile" has one tael, small in size, high in value, and easy to spend.

What Li Mu gave to Eunuch Gao was the "big yellow croaker", three "big yellow croaker", and thirty taels of gold. If it was exchanged for copper coins, it would be 300 jin.

Although Eunuch Gao is the eunuch in charge, he has no money since the treasury is not full. Occasionally, there are foreign ministers like Changsun Wuji and Li Mu who have bribed them for a few more cents, and the most are more cents. When did he see so much money? And this is gold, yellow gold!

Eunuch Gao originally thought that since Li Mu had lost his face, he had to make up for it and look for an opportunity to give Li Mu a look, but now that he saw the yellow gold bar, this thought immediately dissipated.

Zhulu Hou is a good person! There is nothing wrong with being righteous and wealthy! Which bastard actually impeached him? Can you eat shit?

Eunuch Gao took the three gold bars and rubbed them twice, put them into his sleeve, and looked at his attitude, which was different. Although he still looked like he was smiling, it seemed that there was no change, but there was a difference between laughter and laughter. Can the smile from the heart be the same as the skin-smile and not smiling?

Three yellow 'big yellow croaker' opened the knot in Eunuch Gao's heart, and in the blink of an eye, the relationship between the two became happy again.

After seeing off the satisfied Eunuch Gao, Li Mu felt a little moved.

He heard a saying in his previous life that wealth gathers and people scatter, and wealth gathers and people gathers. It turns out that it is a common principle for both ancient and modern times. People don’t love money. Take Eunuch Gao for example. He is a eunuch, without descendants, and lives in the palace, and has no worries about food and clothing. What’s the use of him asking for money?

But he still likes money. Three "big yellow croaker" have been untied. It seems that this money is still useful, and it takes more money!

Just as he was about to ask Li Chongyi to push him back to the backyard, Zhao Youcai suddenly came to report that Changsun Wuji rushed over with Changsun. Li Mu didn't intend to pay attention to them, but then he thought that Changsun Wuji had a different identity after all, and he turned him off yesterday and never saw him again today, which was indeed a bit timid.

If he had been "unconscious", he would have fooled him. However, when he met Li Shimin yesterday, Changsun Wuji would have known it, so it would be difficult to fool him. Li Mu thought about it and snapped his fingers. Li Chongyi knew it and took off the bearskin cloak on his body. Li Mu wrapped it around him and pushed it to the front yard lobby by Li Chongyi.

Changsun Wuji saw Li Mu sitting on a chair with wheels coming in through the side door and quickly met him. Seeing him coming, Li Mu hurriedly said, "The uncle of the country has ruined the boy. What kind of virtue is the boy? How dare you work for the uncle of the country to come to the door for the second time. It is really a serious crime. Yesterday, after the boy woke up, he learned that the uncle of the country, Wang Shizhong and all his colleagues in the court had come to visit the boy, and he was moved indescribable."

Li Mu held Changsun Wuji's hand, his eyes turned red, and he said excitedly: "I know pine and cypress in the cold year, and I see true love in times of adversity. Originally, the boy had a misunderstanding about the boy, and thought that everyone was laughing at the boy and hid behind when they encountered something. He just wanted to take advantage of the boy and treated him like a fool... Now it seems that the boy was wrong. He is so good to the boy. I feel so guilty, I am sorry to you..."

When Changsun Chong heard Li Mu's sarcastic rebelliousness, his face suddenly became ugly and he almost couldn't help but speak out. Fortunately, he still remembered what he was here to do today, and he was holding the Six Rhymes in his hand, so he couldn't have an attack, so he had to look at his nose and his heart, just pretending that he didn't hear it.

How could Changsun Wuji not be able to withstand Li Mu's sarcasm? He said so much, and every word was ironic. But who was Changsun Wuji? How could he get into Li Mu's words? Li Mu held his hand tightly, and he grabbed Li Mu's hand even tighter. Li Mu's face gradually became stiff. He didn't expect that Changsun Wuji, a civil servant, would have such a big hand. Old guy, have practiced it!

Changsun Wuji looked sincere and said, "Don't say such things, everyone sees what you did and the contribution you made. Even if you don't mention these, there are relatives between you and me. If others care about your affairs, I will definitely take care of you. That day you vomited blood and fainted, and the incident was in a hurry, and there was no time for nothing. The next day I came to visit you, and then I also submitted a memorial, asking Your Majesty to severely punish these false accusers, so that my nephew would let this anger come out!"

I believe you!

Li Mu cursed in his heart, but had to squeeze out a smile on his face. What people with thick skin fear the most is that they have thicker skin, which is like everyone stabbing each other with needles, and those with thicker skin can always be better.

"Thank you, uncle..." Li Mu pulled his hand out of Changsun Wuji's hand with force. His hand was pinched red, like a chicken claw. Li Mu had to retract his hand back into the bearskin cloak, stretched out his other hand and signaled, asking Changsun Wuji and Changsun to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, Wei Yingluo brought the teacup. Now she has adapted to the maid's work. In order not to let her and Li Mu meet frequently, Li Zhien sent her to the front yard. Guests come to the lobby to serve tea, and the guests leave and remove the teacup, which is all her job.

Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable when he was rejected yesterday, so he didn't leave her. After she got into the tea, Li Mu saw what was next to Changsun Chong, and felt moved, and probably guessed their purpose.

"Li Mu, I'll come today. In addition to visiting you, there is another thing. Please agree."

"Oh," Li Mu quickly acted like he could not bear it and said, "The uncle said this, but the boy could not be a human being. The uncle took care of the boy so much, and the boy could not repay him. How dare he be the uncle also had the word "please"? As long as the uncle gave him instructions, the boy could do it and go through fire and water without hesitation! Please tell me!"

"Then I'll just say it." Changsun Wuji winked at Changsun Chong. Changsun Chong, who had just sat down and had not yet sat in the hot position, had to hold on to the chair, move his big butt hard and stand up, carry the six lice he brought, and kneel in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu was shocked and said, "Oh, what's going on! The prince is going to ruin me! It's not the New Year, why did you kneel down? Please get up quickly, you and me are older than me, so why should you kneel down? Get up quickly!" As he said, he looked anxious and said to Li Chongyi behind him: "Big man, why are you so lacking in vision? The prince must have fallen because he is too fat, so hurry up and help him up!"

Changsun Chong's face turned red. He knew that Li Mu was teasing his weight and also reminded him of the previous agreement between the two. Last time, Changsun Chong said he wanted to become a disciple, and Li Mu told him to lose weight to 150 kilograms before he considered it. Now Changsun Chong obviously did not do it, but brought his father over. Li Mu was obviously mocking him.

Changsun blushed his fat face and lowered his head and didn't say anything. He came here with his father Changsun Wuji today, and he was no longer able to make decisions. No matter what Li Mu said, the master decided today, so he simply stopped talking and let him ridicule him.

Changsun Wuji said, "Li Mu, I only learned yesterday that Chong'er once mentioned that he wanted to worship you as his teacher. He is the same generation as you and is older than you. Logically speaking, it is not appropriate to worship you as his teacher. If it were in the past, I would not agree with this matter. But after reading your "Talk of Teachers", I understood the essence of the way to be a teacher."

"As your "Teacher's Talk" says: 'If you are born before me, you will definitely be ahead of me, and I will learn from him; if you are born after me, you will also be ahead of me, and I will learn from him. I will learn from him, and I will learn from him. I am a teacher. Do you know that the years are born in me?' Although Chong'er is older than you, his ability is not as good as you. It is most appropriate for him to learn from you. Don't worry about your seniority, just talk about it."

Li Mu waved his hands repeatedly: "Is it not appropriate? I am only seventeen years old this year. How can I be the teacher of the prince? This is reported to be harmful to the reputation of the prince and the reputation of the uncle. The prince should learn from a famous teacher. I think the Imperial College Priest Kong Yingda is good. I have a friendship with Lao Kong, so why not do this? I will write a letter to Lao Kong to recommend it, so I can let the prince worship the prince under Confucius Priest? Confucius Priest is the descendant of Confucius, with a strong root. If the prince can worship his disciple, he will definitely become a scumbag like the great scholar of Shandong Louvre and Zheng Jing... among the people!"

Changsun bit his teeth and made a clatter. If it weren't for Changsun Wuji here, he would have wanted to pounce on him and sat Li Mu to death. However, Changsun Wuji seemed to have not heard it and insisted: "Li Mu, don't be too humble. Who knows that Kong Yingda is your defeated general in both poetry and prose and strategy? As soon as your "Teacher's Talk" was released, he even came to ask for advice. Young talents are the young people, and young people are terrifying. Even Your Majesty has appointed you as the teacher of the prince and the King of Yue. Who in the world dares to doubt your talent?"

As he said that, Changsun Wuji looked angry and said, "Unless, you look down on my Changsun family and think that my Changsun Wuji's eldest son is not as noble as a prince and is unwilling to teach. If so, just pretend that I have never mentioned this."

It's all for this. If Li Mu insists on refusing, he will probably offend Changsun Wuji to death. Li Mu will not do such a thing.

Li Mu was silent for a while, sighed, and reluctantly said: "Since the uncle has spoken, if the boy refuses, he will be a little ignorant of raising him. Okay, Changsun Chong, you kowtow to me!"

Changsun Chong widened his eyes and said, "Kowtow, kowtow?"

Li Mu held back his laughter and said with a stern face: "Why, now I won't kowtow anymore?"

"Chong'er, don't you kowtow yet?"

Changsun Chong glared at Li Mu angrily, knelt down at Li Mu's feet, and gave a big gift.

Oh? Is it a bit unconvinced?

Li Mu suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory! The uncle of the country, it's not that the boy wants to take advantage of this, but he really has confiscated his disciples and doesn't know the rules. The boy also heard that he didn't know if he was right. It seems that he is a disciple, and it seems that even the master's wife is going to worship together. The boy just happened to get married. Look at this... Of course, if the prince doesn't want to, that's fine, that's all. Let's worship him for now, and teach him for now, it doesn't matter."

Let’s not do it! He has already kowtowed one of his head, and it is not bad to kowtow another. Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Changsun said to himself: “Master is here, please listen to your disciple’s words. This is the case. Please ask your wife to sit down and receive a bow from your disciple.”

"Look at this..." Li Mu smiled "sorry" and said, "It's really my good disciple! Big guy, go and invite the wife, and then ask the chef to cook a few more good dishes. Today I will be very happy to accept the disciples, and the whole house will celebrate! No, no, no, don't worry, let Xiao Jiuer go to the heaven and earth. Today I will book a venue. I will invite all my friends and relatives of the marquis to celebrate my love for me, Li Mu, finally, took out a disciple!"

Li Chongyi responded and went back to the back house. After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao came. She heard Li Chongyi say that she thought it was a joke. She didn't realize it was true until she saw Changsun kneeling here and seemed a little nervous.

Li Mu asked Li Chongyi to bring a chair over, next to Li Mu, and asked Bai Qiaoqiao to sit down.

Changsun Chong took a deep breath. Today he threw away his face and kowtowed again.

"Good disciple, please get up quickly!"

Li Muxu stretched out his hand, and Li Chongyi helped Changsun Chong up for him. Changsun Chong gave the six rituals to Shuxiu, and Li Mu asked Bai Qiaoqiao to take it. The ceremony of apprenticeship was completed.

The so-called six rites are six types: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, longans, red dates and dried meat. Each has different meanings. Celery is homophonic to be diligent, which means diligence and studious, and hard work and teaching. Red beans means high luck in red, red dates means early high school, longan means perfect merit, and meat strips express the filial piety of disciples.
