Chapter 371 The distress of happiness

When Li Mu woke up, the sun was shining. The warm winter sun had a special smell, which was not as fierce as summer, but it made people feel warm when they looked at it. Li Mu didn't remember where he said it, he just remembered falling asleep as he said it.

He looked around and saw that Wang Ou was not by his side. Li Mu sat up and looked ahead with a little bit of silence. At this time, a sound came from the door. Li Mu looked over and saw Wang Ou coming with a basin of water, intending to serve him to wash.

Washing in the Tang Dynasty was slightly different from Li Mu before traveling through time. The procedures for brushing teeth, rinsing mouth, and washing face were similar. However, because there was no toothbrush, brushing teeth always made Li Mu feel uncomfortable.

But don’t think that people in the Tang Dynasty all have bad breath. In fact, the food in the Tang Dynasty is very simple. Compared with later generations, there are not so many food residues. The gargling method is generally adopted, using salt water, strong tea and wine as mouthwashing agents. After eating, rinse your mouth and rinse your mouth in the morning and evening. There are also special "medicine powder", similar to the tooth powder in later generations. Li Mu didn’t know what configuration it was made of, but he guessed that there must be mint and salt in it, because after using it, the cool breeze in his mouth was still so terrible.

There are two ways to use ‘tooth powder’. People who are more particular should dip the tooth powder with branches or numb and "wipe" them in their mouths. This feeling is not very good, giving people the feeling of constantly chewing sugarcane. People who are less particular should just pick it with their hands and then rinse their mouths.

It turned out that when Li Mu lived in Mayi and Dingxiang, he basically rinsed his mouth because there was no "tooth powder" sold in that place. After arriving in Chang'an, he had money and was directly matched with the highest-end, tooth powder and numb. But Li Mu was a type of person who was not called or not, and always used his hands to pick it with his hands. In fact, it doesn't matter. Brushing teeth is a relatively private thing in this era, and even couples are shy. For example, he rarely sees how Bai Qiaoqiao brushes his teeth. When he sees it occasionally, Bai Qiaoqiao will avoid him.

Li Mu also felt strange. In his previous life, he read the licking dogs on the Internet and said that even the beauty is so good. Li Mu thought at the time, isn’t this nonsense? But now, he feels it makes sense. Under such a poor condition for brushing teeth, his wives are all with small white teeth. Isn’t this very strange?

It must be the effect of tooth powder, but Li Mu can't stand it anymore. The toothbrush must be put on the agenda, but he hasn't figured out what materials to use to make the toothbrush. It's definitely not possible, the taste is too poor. The hair is too soft, and the horse's bristles are quite suitable. But who is willing to cut off the horse's bristles to make a toothbrush? Besides, there are not so many bristles available...

Li Mu thought that Wang Ou had handed over the numbness and tooth powder. Li Mu took the "tooth powder", dipped it in water with his fingers, then dipped it in a little "tooth powder" and stuffed it into his mouth to start sniffing. Wang Ou looked at him with laughter and cry, and Li Mu also looked at her, as if she was intentional, and she was even more excited.

Wang Ou was born in a high-ranking family and valued etiquette since she was a child. Seeing Li Mu's appearance, she couldn't help but say, "Husband, it's so indecent."

Li Mu shook his head and said in a vague way: "I'm just a little thug. Do you love it?"

Why is Wang Ou willing to say he doesn't love? She glanced at him with a angrily, handed him over mouthwash, and said, "Just bully me, who made me like you-"

Li Mu laughed, rinsed his mouth, and kissed Wang Ou's cherry lips. Wang Ou's cheeks were flushed, and he also had a thought. He hugged Li Mu's neck and responded enthusiastically. Seeing that he was about to get out of fire, Li Mu quickly stopped the car, and his lips parted, and both of them were breathing heavily.

"Is it beautiful?" Li Mu looked at Wang Ou in a bad mood. He liked Wang Ou's panic-like appearance. She looked more like a girl who had just fallen in love, with shyness that was not in line with her age.

Wang Ou nodded gently, snuggled up on Li Mu's shoulder, pursed her lips, and said shyly and in a low voice: "Husband, you can really hold back."

"It won't take much time. When I pass the New Year, I will be the top scorer, and then I will receive Zhien in May, and then you will be. During this period, I will be hardworking and let my wife conceive the child first... Zhien is still young and will give birth again in two years," he hooked Wang Ou's chin and said, "Would you like to give birth to a big fat boy for me?"

"Well..." Wang Ou's voice was so faint that she dared not look up.

Li Mu laughed and suddenly cried out in his stomach. Wang Ou hurriedly asked the maid to bring food. Li Mu had enough food and drank it. He kept warm with Wang Ou for a while, borrowed a carriage from her and rushed to the heaven and earth.

He came to pick up the Zheng family's mother and daughter.

It's been two days, and it's almost the same as reminiscing about the past. He couldn't let the Zheng family stay in heaven and earth. In fact, it was not necessary for him to bring the Zheng family to heaven and earth to see Li Yuan. But when he saw Li Shimin yesterday, he didn't mention it, and it was considered a mess. He couldn't be shameless, it was time to take them where they should be.

Li Yuan and Zheng Guanyin also understood the truth, and even Li Mu did not bother with him because Zheng Guanyin had already packed up. She left all the gold and silver utensils she brought out in the warehouse in the heaven and earth, and only brought more than a hundred guan of money with her. Some of the clothes Li Yourong went to find a tailor to make for them yesterday, so she got on the carriage and followed Li Mu away.

Li Yuan felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he brought a bunch of pastries, candied fruits and two large food boxes, both of which were just made. This kind of jujube food box has the function of keeping heat. If you eat it at night, you don’t even need to heat it.

"Have your injuries healed?" After several incidents, Zheng Guanyin completely regarded Li Mu as his nephew and was very concerned about his injuries.

Li Mu smiled and said, "The scabs have been formed, it's okay. I'm young and my wound heals quickly."

Although Zheng Guanyin was not at ease, he could not let Li Mu take off his clothes and see them, so he had to tell him to be more careful and not to touch the injured place. Li Mu felt strange in his heart. He had just come out of Wang Ou. Zheng Guanyin was one year younger than Wang Ou. That day he invited him clearly that Zheng Guanyin was called Wang Ou’s “sister”. If this is the case, wouldn’t I become her brother-in-law? This is interesting and tight.

Li Mu thought about it in his mind. He was Zheng Guanyin's brother-in-law. He was Li Jiancheng's brother-in-law and Li Jiancheng was Li Shimin's brother-in-law. Then he and Li Shimin were the same generation.

Thinking of this, Li Mu laughed. Li Wanshun, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him with a silly smile and couldn't help laughing. When Zheng Guanyin saw it, she blamed him, "Wanshun, don't be rude."

Li Wanshun quickly pursed her lips and didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Seeing this, Li Mu hurriedly stopped him and said to Zheng Guanyin: "Now it is outside the palace, there are not so many rules. As for the child, cry whenever he wants to cry, laugh whenever he wants to laugh. If he takes care of everything, he will have nothing to be happy when he thinks about it in the future."

When Li Wanshun heard this, she couldn't help asking: "Did you have a lot of happy things when you were a child?"

"I..." This question is really hard to answer, because Li Mu has two memories in his mind. One is his childhood memory, and the other is the original memory of his current body. But looking back, it seems that there is nothing happy about these two memories of childhood. Before entering the orphanage, he has experienced all kinds of tragic things, which is even worse than Sanmao in "Sanmao Wandering"! And this body memory is not much better. His father died early, and the orphan and widowed mother were angry everywhere, and he was still suffocated by Bai Naoer, the "in-law"... After sorting out the memory of this body, the original Li Mu had the greatest emotion, which should be "sad and angry".

But I can't tell my children about such negative energy. Li Mu now wrote: "Of course there are. I lived in Mayi when I was a child. Have you heard of Mayi? It's the grassland when I left the city gate. As the saying goes, the sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep. Looking around, it's vast, just like your brother, my mind, so vast that it can make the horse gallop!"

Li Wanyan laughed and said, "Brother is so good at talking big."

"Big words?" Li Mu snorted and said, "Your brother, I never speak big words. Remember, what you do is not big words no matter how exaggerated it is. Things that you have not done are not worth mentioning, they are also big words. Just like me, born in a small town like Mayi - do you know how big Mayi is? There are not two hundred families in a city, and they are very small."

Li Mu took out the style of "recalling the past" and fooled Li Wanshun, an ignorant little girl: "I, who is from a humble background, is now a third-rank military marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this a miracle? Throughout history, who has done it, only my brother!"

Zheng Guanyin also said: "It's true, Wanshun, Li Mu is a talented and capable talent. You can't be rude anymore in the future, do you know?"

Li Wanshun nodded, glanced at Li Mu again, and suddenly said, "Brother, you are seventeen years old this year, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

“I’m eight years old this year.”

"At the age of eight, what's wrong?"

"When you are twenty-four years old, will I marry you?"

"..." Li Mu suddenly became silent. He lifted the curtain and looked outside, and suddenly felt the urge to jump off the car. Zheng Guanyin was also embarrassed and hurriedly scolded: "What are the kids talking about? Can such things be said nonsense?"

"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. Haven't you taught me the truth that you should repay me if you receive favors? My brother saved us from the cage. This is a great kindness. I have nothing to repay him, so I can only promise him."

"You..." The child was right and well-founded, and Zheng Guanyin couldn't think of anything to refute. At this time, the younger one also shouted: "I'll marry my brother, brother, please wait for me for ten years..."

Li Mu was overwhelmed and smiled bitterly: "Don't think about it all over again. I'm also in the royal family. We are a surname from the same clan and clan, and we are cousins, so we can't get married. Do you understand?"

The two children hurriedly looked at their mother: "Mom, is that true?"

Zheng Guanyin thought to herself, you, an outsider, have to be given a cousin of the clan, and you are nodded in order to fool the child and said, "Yes, you can't get married."
