In order to get the bearings early, Li Mu got up early and came to the studio to process parts and punch them proficiency.

The process of raising proficiency is boring and boring, and it is carried out mechanically. If you have no physical strength, just chew some beef jerky to rest.

In order to facilitate the production of bearings, the drawings used by Li Mu to level the grade are all the parts needed in the bearing. In this way, after he reaches the intermediate level, he can directly assemble the bearings with parts, so that he does not have to waste time.

"Husband."

The door creaked open, and Bai Qiaoqiao walked in apologetically. Li Mu just finished making a part and heard the sound of opening the door, paused for a moment, ignored it.

"Husband, it's time for breakfast."

"snort!"

"Husband, I know I'm wrong." Qiaoqiao came behind Li Mu, gently hugged his neck, and put it in his ear and coaxed: "Today is the porridge I made myself, and my husband likes to drink the most."

Li Mu kept doing his work and said sourly: "I'm afraid it wasn't the porridge I made for me, right?"

"Of course it was the porridge made for my husband."

"Didn't it for your sister Tianai?"

Bai Qiaoqiao held back her laughter, shook her head, and said, "Just make more porridge for my husband, and I've just boiled more. It's a pity to throw away the rest. I'll give them some."

"Hmph, coax me like a child." Li Mu threw the prepared spring into the box next to him and sighed: "The world is getting worse and worse, but people's hearts are not as good as ever. Where did the simple and kind lady go? Now she can deceive her husband--"

"Husband is really angry?" Bai Qiaoqiao walked around Li Mu, looked at his face carefully, and his expression became a little unnatural: "Husband isn't you angry, right? Are you scaring me, right?"

"angry!"

Li Mu threw down the copper wire in his hand, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Madam, judging from your performance yesterday, I have reason to suspect that there is something wrong with you and Zhang Tianai!"

Bai Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and said blankly: "What's the problem?"

"You two must have the 'Phoenix Yin'!"

Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't understand what Li Mu meant and looked at him blankly.

"As expected, these things are all in my head!"

Zhang Tianai's voice came from behind. Li Mu turned around and saw her and said angrily: "You are allowed to steal my wife, don't you allow me to say it? Girl, you are too domineering! I gave in to you yesterday, otherwise you would think you would be my opponent?"

"Hmph!" Zhang Tianai did not answer his question and sneered.

Li Mu suddenly felt that his self-esteem was challenged, so he stood up and glared at her, saying, "Did you see my two younger brothers? I won't say it anymore. You can't beat him. Did you see the newly acquired younger brother? His name is Dugu Jiu, the fastest sword in Chang'an, and you won't agree with it!"

Zhang Tianai glanced at him and said, "What do you do with me and you, do others do it yourself if you have the ability?"

"I'm scared!" Li Mu pointed at Zhang Tianai and said to Bai Qiaoqiao, "Did you see that, this is the woman you like. She is afraid and dare not compete with my younger brother!"

Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help laughing, but nodded very proudly and coaxed: "Husband is the most amazing."

Zhang Tianai blocked Li Mu's arm and said, "I'm talking about you, otherwise I'll give you one hand..."

"Stop talking!" Li Mu waved his hand and said, "A person who can't even deal with my younger brother is not qualified to be my opponent. Besides, I'm too ruthless to take action. If you don't take action, you will be killed. Although you are a little annoying, a little arrogant, a little rude, and avenge you, you are not a bad person after all. I don't want to take your life, so I will spare you this time."

After saying that, Li Mu looked at Zhang Tianai with great contempt, hugged Qiaoqiao in his arms, raised his chin and said, "Be more regular in the future, my woman, stay away from it!"

Zhang Tianai rolled his eyes. Who can do this to such a person who "forced victory"?

"Yesterday Qiaoqiao came to me... Forget it! I'm too lazy to tell you, just think whatever you like." Zhang Tianai pulled out a letter from his arms and threw it to Li Mu, saying, "Your brother asked me to send you a message."

Li Mu took the letter in his hand and suddenly laughed.

Zhang Tianai frowned and said, "Why are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you!" Li Mu took a step back and hid behind Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Are you wearing the new bellyband I designed? Is it still so flat when I wear it, isn't you desperate?"

Zhang Tianai subconsciously glanced down and immediately understood what Li Mu meant. He wanted to draw the sword, but the sword was not with him. He saw the hammer on the workbench and reached out to copy it.

"I kill you!"

"Qiaoqiao, help!"

"Sister Tianai--"

Taking advantage of Qiaoqiao's pulling Zhang Tianai, Li Mu ran away: "Who cares about you? I've gone to drink the porridge made by my wife. Please wait to drink the rest!"

Zhang Tianai was so angry that she threw the hammer in her hand and said annoyedly: "Sister Qiaoqiao, look at him like this. He is already seventeen years old and has a crown. He is just an adult. Why is he still like a child? He is lustful and childish. Why do you like him? You even advise me to-"

Zhang Tianai stamped his feet and said angrily: "Even if I really can't get married in this life, I will accept it. I will never marry him!"

Qiaoqiao was not annoyed and said, "Sister Tianai, you have prejudices against your husband, so you can't see his goodness. In fact, your husband is not as good as you think. He treats me really well."

"You're just stupid."

Zhang Tianai said in an air bag, turned around and walked out: "I'll go to the front yard for dinner and don't drink the remaining porridge!"

Bai Qiaoqiao shook her head, but did not try to keep her. She bent down and picked up the hammer on the ground, put it back to her original place, and went back to the back house to have dinner with Li Mu.

...

Last night, Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai said something all night. They didn't go to bed when it was almost dawn. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a few months. During this period, many things happened. Bai Qiaoqiao told Zhang Tianai. She also explained Zhien's affairs and resolved Zhang Tianai's prejudice against Li Mu.

While talking, Bai Qiaoqiao mentioned that he was about to open a store on JD.com. When it comes to the store, he naturally couldn't escape Wang Ou. Although Zhang Tianai had met Wang Ou and had a good impression of Wang Ou, he heard Bai Qiaoqiao talk about the two of them building shops on the street, and his impression of him plummeted and was filled with righteous indignation.

Bai Qiaoqiao mentioned Zhang Tianai's lifelong event, saying that she is not young anymore. If she is not a good match, she is willing to marry her to Li Mu, so that her sisters can get along day and night.

Zhang Tianai guessed what Bai Qiaoqiao meant. Although Bai Qiaoqiao did not say it clearly, this Madam Mudan acted like this, and it was definitely unrelated to Li Mu. Bai Qiaoqiao wanted her to marry Li Mu, part of it for her lifelong considerations, and the other part must be to consolidate her position and keep this Madam Mudan outside the door.

After hearing this proposal, Zhang Tianai was really moved for a moment. Because she returned to Zhangjiazhai this time, she also faced the dilemma of forcing her to marry. Her father Zhang Xun told her that she would be allowed to give her a second year at most. If she could not find a good match in the past six months, she would have to make the decision to compete in Zhangjiazhai for her to marry her.

If the son of Zhangjiazhai is not good, there is another way. There is a small country in the Western Regions, named Gaochang. Apart from Zhangjiazhai, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty goods smuggled by Zhangjiazhai, besides the Turkic nobles who were the biggest buyers, were the nobles of Gaochang. There was a prince named Turk Zhisheng, who happened to be married. Zhang Xun had known the current Gaochang King Ju Wentai for many years. When the Uighur tribes were besieging Gaochang a few years ago, they also led the horse bandits from Zhangjiazhai to help, which was considered old. If he wrote a letter, Ju Wentai would give this face and let his son take Zhang Tianai as his concubine.

Although we cannot be a regular wife, it is a good destination. Moreover, with this marriage relationship, it is equivalent to preparing a retreat for Zhangjiazhai. Once the Tang Dynasty sends troops to clear Zhangjiazhai, the people from Zhangjiazhai can cross the desert and settle in Gaochang. This is not the traditional sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, and the cost of sending troops is too high, so Zhangjiazhai can escape the disaster.

Zhang Tianai has never had any feelings for the sons of Zhangjiazhai. He also heard his father's voice and felt that his father actually wanted her to marry the prince of Gaochang, but he didn't say it clearly. Zhang Tianai also knew in his heart that as the daughter of the leader of Zhangjiazhai, she should make sacrifices for the entire village, so in her heart, she actually accepted her fate.

But when I was about to agree, somehow, there seemed to be a voice in my heart asking myself, is it possible that this will be the case in my life?

Chang'an!

After swaying through the majestic city walls of Chang'an in his mind, Zhang Tianai did not say her decision, but told her father Zhang Xun that she would go to Chang'an again. She wanted to find a way to solve the problem of Zhangjiazhai. If she couldn't do it, she would come back in half a year.

He didn't say it thoroughly, but Zhang Xun already understood the meaning. Before talking to his daughter, he had already met Lao Hu and others who followed Zhang Tianai to Chang'an. He knew that his daughter knew a marquis in Chang'an, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very close.

Zhang Xun agreed without hesitation. After all, for Zhangjiazhai, if you talk about the backing, it is still incomparable between Prince Gaochang and the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. What is Gaochang? Although it is called a country, its power and military strength are not even comparable to that of the Zhechong Mansion in the Tang Dynasty. Who can be a marquis of the Tang Dynasty have great achievements? When he was leading the army, he had at least three or five Zhechong Mansions under his command!

If his daughter could open up the situation in Chang'an, the crisis in Zhangjiazhai might be resolved. Also, as a father, he also wanted his daughter to get a good home. Gaochang, a foreign land, and a barbarian, how could it be compared with the Tang Dynasty, which is rich in nature and has outstanding people?

Zhang Xun knew in his heart that this was the last chance for his daughter to take a gamble. He gave the greatest support within his ability. The goods brought to Chang'an this time were three times that of the last time. In addition, he also asked Zhang Tianai to bring a box of treasures. This box of treasures was obtained by him through various means for many years. Each one was a treasure. He wanted to put it in the coffin after he died, but now he took it out, asking Zhang Tianai to find a way to sell it, and all the money he got was used to clear the relationship.

The father and daughter were tacit. Zhang Xun guessed his daughter's thoughts, but he didn't know where Zhang Tianai had any thoughts, and she was completely in conflict.

Does she like Li Mu?

Reason told her that she would not like such a person. But she could not deny that she had an inexplicable feeling for this person in her heart.

She was wondering why she was angry with Li Mu all the way from Chang'an to Zhangjiazhai. The final answer was that she was actually jealous.

How ridiculous!

Therefore, when Bai Qiaoqiao made this proposal, Zhang Tianai felt a little happy. Anyway, he couldn't get married, so it would be better to marry him, at least he didn't hate him that much.

My heart, which was already ready to move, settled down after the morning incident. Zhang Tianai found that he still couldn't accept Li Mu's personality. Why couldn't he be more mature and steady?

Which girl is not in love with spring?

Although Zhang Tianai's age is no longer a girl, she also came here when she was a girl, and she had thought about her future husband.

She wanted to find a general who galloped on the battlefield, and was invincible. He was red horses, silver spears, and flags. But she had never met such a person. When she thought of Li Mu, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he was a little brave and smart, he had faced thousands of Turkic soldiers to defend the city, but that was only a thousand people after all. It was far from the general she was thinking of.

Zhang Tianai sighed and thought to himself. Forget it, I don’t want to stay in Chang'an for half a year and forget about it when I go back to marry the Prince Gaochang. Who made me a daughter in this life? This is also the best decision for my father and for the village.

...

Back house.

After Li Mu checked the hot paint, he removed the envelope and took out Li Siwen's letter. Li Zhien held a bowl next to him, cooled a spoonful of porridge, and fed it to his mouth. Li Mu stuttered. Bai Qiaoqiao picked up another side dish and handed it over. Li Mu turned his head and ate it in one bite.

When Li Mu had a wife and concubine around him, he was like a disabled person, and he was lazy if he could be lazy.

Before he could read the content, Li Mu's eyebrows furrowed.

When did Li Siwen practice calligraphy? He actually looked pretty good. He remembered that when he was in Dingxiang, Li Siwen's handwriting was not very good.

The scholar should be treated with admiration for three days. It has only been so long since then that my younger brother has made such progress. Li Mu was relieved and felt a little ashamed. No, he had to practice calligraphy! That day in Chongwen Pavilion, Li Mu shouted that Ouyang Xun, who wrote the four words "Kaiyuan Tongbao", as his teacher, Li Shimin agreed. However, Li Mu had never visited the door, so the matter was put on hold. Since he remembered this, Li Mu planned to take a turn when he came to the palace to send a mirror. If Ouyang Xun was there, ask him for a few copybooks to go home to practice.

Li Zhien blows a spoonful of cold and feeds it to him. Li Mu opens his mouth and eats it, and starts reading Li Siwen's letter.
