Li Mu came out of the carriage, sat on the shaft on the other side, and said, "Brother, your idea is very dangerous? You don't like women, do you like men?"

Dugu Jiu glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about, you're so disgusting."

"Oh, look at your tone, sizzling wombs." Li Mu patted Dugu Jiu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, although you look like a girl and your voice is like a girl, you have to be clear that you are a man! And your father is just your son, you have the responsibility to pass on the family line. If you don't like women, your family will be cut off. Don't you understand this simple truth?"

"I..." Dugu Jiu seemed to have no idea how to explain, and pursed his lips and said, "I, I actually don't like women... I just feel that I don't know how to get along with each other. Brother, if I get married, I will definitely have to be with me every day, right?"

"Of course, look at me and your sister-in-law, aren't you just together every day?"

"But I can't do it." Dugu Jiu said excitedly: "Brother, how do you think I look like this? After getting married, you can't wear a mask every day, right? And my voice. If you take off your mask and talk, what will the lady look at me? Where is her family?"

Dugu Jiu's eyes turned red and he said, "I can't help but think about it for others. Which woman doesn't want to marry a real man? Although I am a man, I'm not a man enough, so don't harm me."

"Bah!" Li Mu spat fiercely and said, "Who said you are not a man enough? Tell me his name, I chop him up and feed him to the dog!"

"Brother! Stop talking nonsense."

"What a random talk, I didn't. You said my brother, my elder brother stands out for you! Also, I have to talk about you. What is a real man? Be able to bear responsibilities and bear family. This is already a husband. If you have greater abilities, defend your country and seek welfare for the people, you are a real man. Is appearance important? Is voice important? Did Uncle Cheng grow up like that and affect his achievements?"

Dugu Jiu muttered, "I hope I will grow up like Uncle Cheng, and I will not have the worries I am now."

"That's easy!" Li Mu said angrily: "Did you see the mace I cast? When you go home later, take off your mask and rub it around the mace, and you will ensure that you are ugly than Uncle Cheng!"

"No!" Dugu Jiu screamed in fear, covered his face and said, "I won't do anything to disfigure!"

"Look at you like that!" Li Mu almost laughed out loud and said, "Don't think that brother doesn't know, you kid love beauty. You smell like perfume, right? The clothes are also washed with soap? I'll go to your room in the morning and call you, right? Is there a mirror on your bedside?"

"I, I..." Dugu Jiu was exposed and stuttered, completely unaware of how to explain.

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need to explain, everyone has a love for beauty. In ancient times, there was Pan An and Song Yu. In their era, men even applied powder, but they didn't see anyone discriminating against them. Instead, they became a good story. Today is just my Tang Dynasty style and it seems that you are a little out of place. Maybe a thousand years later, a man like you is the most popular. Who can say it correctly?"

"I had a dream last night. Twelve women sang on the same stage. There were countless young women in the audience who were crazy about it. I was wondering why this woman was still crazy about it when she sang? I got closer and took a closer look. Guess what, the twelve women are actually men. Isn't it magical?"

"Brother teased again." Dugu Jiu said unhappily: "There is not one person like me for hundreds of years. How come there are so many twelve people at once and perform in public? Are they music actors?"

"It's almost done, who can remember the dreaming thing?" Li Mu leaned against the carriage and said, "Brother told you this not to hit you. I just wanted you to understand a truth. What kind of person is born is not a choice. Someone was born in a family of Dukes, just like you and Changsun. Someone was born as a small citizen, just like your elder brother. So what? Do you stop working hard because of a bad background or a little hidden disease? Then why not die early? Don't want to die, and don't work hard, who will you show me?"

"Complainting is useless, you have to find a way, right? Also, you don't need to feel inferior. I always think that as long as you do something alone, there is no problem. Just like you, who do you think you are beautiful? Those who are ugly are alive, and those who are beautiful have to die? And the voice is also the sound, what's wrong? Just understand what you say? It's not wrong to love beauty. As long as your future wife doesn't matter, what does it matter what others think."

"If you want to watch, he will watch it. If you don't want to watch, don't watch it. Say something useless in front of you. Don't you know martial arts, just beat him up. Don't say that your father is the leader of the Dugu family. Ordinary people dare not provoke you, but they don't look at your father. Don't you have me, the elder brother? I even beat the servant, who are you afraid of?"

Seeing Li Mu protecting his calf like this, Dugu Jiu couldn't help laughing. No matter whether Li Mu was right or not, this attitude was already heartwarming enough.

"Brother, I can't be as open-minded as you."

"It has nothing to do with open-mindedness. I just barefoot and don't worry about wearing shoes. If it really doesn't work, I will go back to Mayi to farm. You think I'm joking. I've sent a letter to Siwen to buy land in Mayi and Dingxiang. As long as it's a land without a master, I will buy as much as I can. People have to keep a backup plan for themselves, right?"

Dugu Jiu couldn't help but say, "Brother really wants to farm?"

"Yes." Li Mu had nothing to hide, saying, "Didn't I invent the Zhenguan Plow? Farming has become simple, and I can't just take advantage of others, but I have to take care of myself. You may not know what Mayi and Dingxiang are like? Let me tell you, you see that there are so many people in Chang'an, a city that is twenty miles a square, with 300,000 households. There are more than a dozen Chang'an cities around Mayi and Dingxiang, but there are less than 50,000 households. Think about it, how many good lands are there that are not farmed?"

Dugu Jiu never thought about farming, but he knew a little bit of calculation and probably had some concepts. Simply put, there was a lot of land in Mayi and Dingxiang, and there were too many people, so the land could not be grown.

"The land over there is very cheap, and most of it is homeless land. It turns out that it is a Turkic pasture. I only need to take a little money to accommodate the poor refugees and let them burn the land and cultivate it for me. In less than two or three years, I will get a fat field." Li Mu rubbed his hands and said, "At that time, I will have money and food--"

Dugu Jiu widened his eyes and blurted out: "Brother, are you going to rebel?"

"Fuck!" Li Mu almost didn't choke to death in one breath. He raised his hand and knocked Dugu Jiu, scolding: "When did I say I was going to rebel? I mean, see, those nobles dare to provoke me? Why did you get rebellious and have a stubborn mind?"

"I can't blame me for this. When I was a child, my father asked me to read "Records of the Grand Historian". When those people rebelled, they all accumulated food and became kings at a low price..."

"Stop talking nonsense in the future, rebellion? You can think of it. The emperor is so easy to be? Your elder brother, I really become an emperor, and I am also a foolish monarch. Your Majesty is a good emperor, so we can do something within our ability. There have been so many heroes throughout the ages, and how many have become emperors? Young people, don't be too exaggerated."

"Oh." Dugu Jiu nodded, held it in for a while, and said, "Brother, why don't you buy land? I have land at home, so let's plant it for you?"

"The lands of your family belong to your father. When will you wait for you to become the master of the lord and when will you say this?"

"I have it myself, too!"

"ah?"

"I have it myself..." Dugu Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's three or five hundred acres. I don't know how much it is. I can go home and ask the butler."

"Where do you come from so much land?" Li Mu was shocked. The emperor gave the land to the marquis only 50 hectares, and Dugu Jiu actually had three or five hundred hectares. Isn't this a ghost?

"I gave it to you by my uncles. Every year on my birthday, I don't know where those lands are, but the housekeeper helps me collect it."

"Ha!" Li Mu was so angry that this was a clan. When the child celebrated his birthday, he gave him all the land deeds. I worked hard to defend the city and presented jade seals. As a result, I gave him fifty acres of land. Where can I go to reason with it!

"Brother, why don't you talk?"

"I'm autistic, don't pay attention to me." Li Mu said angrily.

Dugu Jiu didn't understand what this sentence meant at all, so he blinked his eyes and said, "Then do you plant it?"

"Source!" Li Mu suppressed his heart and said, "But being a big brother cannot take advantage of you. I will help you plant your land, and then sell your food. The money I get will be left for you to marry a wife."

"No need." Dugu Jiu waved his hand quickly and said, "My father said that when I get married, I will let me inherit the position of head of the family. My family has money, how much can I spend in getting married-"

"Can you shut up?"

"oh--"

...

The carriage arrived at the Works Department, and Li Mu did not speak any further along the way.

What else to say?

The most bragging master in the Tang Dynasty was completely shown in front of a wealthy second-generation who ran away from home! In order not to inherit the wealth of thousands of dollars, the handsome young Dugu Jiu had to run away from home and serve as a groom for a nouveau riche who seemed to make money every day but actually didn't have much money. What a bloody plot!

Oh my God!

Li Mu got off the carriage, his head still buzzing.
