"Brother, we are here!"

The voices were from far to near, and they were Li Siwen and Dugu Jiu. Li Mu smiled bitterly. It would be fine if Dugu Jiu came here, but Li Siwen was with him. He would get married tomorrow. There might be many things today. Li Mu understood that this kid must have been hiding.

"Wow!" Li Siwen almost glared out when he saw the elephant and said in surprise: "Oh my God, it's so big! Brother, can you give me two? I'll take them when I go back to Dingxiang?"

"Don't even think about it, I'm useful." Li Mu directly cut off his thoughts and asked, "How do you two know I'm here?"

"Ask! Isn't you a mouth?" Li Siwen looked at Li Mu strangely, as if he didn't understand why he asked such a question. There was nothing wrong with this answer. Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to be quiet for two days, so I won't tell you, alas...forget, let's go and go back to the city together."

"Back, go back?" Li Siwen said dazedly, "We have just come back, what are you doing? We will get married tomorrow. We should not be drunk and not return tonight!" After pausing, Li Siwen asked again, "By the way, brother, I have something to ask you. Will you get married tomorrow? What do you want to do? We have to disclose it, otherwise we can be together. There are so many people and my house is big. You are at the east end and I am at the west end, so no one will delay it. There are so many people and still lively." Li Siwen looked at Li Zhien with a blushing face and said, "Is that right, sister-in-law!"

"I, I listen to my husband."

"Big brother?"

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements freely. You should do your own thing first. Let me ask you, isn't the woman coming to "shop" today? If you are not waiting at home, why are you here to go to me for?"

Shopping is a legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. One day before marriage, the woman sent a senior woman to the man's house to "shop" to show the dowry that the woman gave. This is very necessary, but there are no exceptions. This exception refers to "five-class women". Zheng, Lu, Wang, Cui, Li, women of the five surnames and seven surnames are self-respecting, and even the royal family is not taken seriously. They marry their daughters, as long as they are not in the five surnames and seven surnames, they are "married under the lower". The scholars of the Tang Dynasty said that they can marry these five surnames and women as honored. Of course, they do not need to show any dowry, but if they are not in the five surnames, they must pay attention when getting married. In order to live a comfortable life after marriage and not be angry with the in-laws, they must show their strength in the "shopping" and not underestimate them.

"Oh, stop talking!" Li Siwen shouted, "Brother, I escaped! You don't know how scary that woman is. She made me..." Li Siwen blushed and couldn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Li Mu became more curious and said, "What's wrong?"

"Oh!" Li Siwen glanced at the female relative behind Li Mu, blushed and pulled him aside, leaned into his ear and whispered: "She asked me to take it out... and arranged a few maids to say that they wanted to try it. How can I try it in broad daylight? What should I wait for if I don't run away!"

Li Mu laughed loudly when he heard this. He was surprised just now. In fact, according to the family backgrounds of both families, both are dukes and are of equal status. In fact, it does not involve the wife being angry after passing the family. The process of laying a house is optional, but since the Qin family has done it, it is definitely not just for laying a house. As expected, Li Mu guessed that the other person is thinking about his daughter, and wanted to see if this son-in-law is qualified or not!

This is a new thing, and it was the first time Li Mu encountered it. In fact, Li Mu still doesn't know much about the rules of getting married. When he got married with Bai Qiaoqiao, he just came to Chang'an and his eyes were dark. Moreover, he and Bai Qiaoqiao had no family and did not have so many rules. It's a good thing now. If there were too many rules, he might not be able to bear it.

"Brother, please speak softly and save me some face!" Li Siwen shouted in a low voice. Li Muqiang held back his smile, looked at Dugu Jiu, and said, "How is the ring competition? Have you decided to be the first?"

"I decided, I was defeated by me, I was the first."

The ring match was originally expected to be an eight-day process, from the first to the eighth day of the lunar month, but there were many people coming in the follow-up, and Dugu Jiu also added them. The wheel battle continued until today. Unexpectedly, he finally decided to be the "first" and was fucked by Dugu Jiu. As a result, it seemed that he had fought for half a month to find a sparring training for Dugu Jiu.

Li Mu was amused and cried, saying, "It's not good, it will cause criticism."

Dugu Jiu said arrogantly: "Who is stronger and who is weak is clear at a glance, and there is no criticism. If anyone is dissatisfied, he can challenge me and wait at any time!"

Li Siwen said, "You are just relying on the big guy not boasting. If the big guy is there, you will definitely not be his opponent. His big axe will hit you just a little!"

"He can't beat it."

"I said if he hits you, that's it!"

"He can't beat him!"

Li Siwen said annoyedly: "I said if he hits you, he can hit you to death if he touches you!"

"He can't beat me! We've fought!"

Li Siwen rolled her eyes in anger: "I'm too lazy to tell you brother, why are you going back to the city? Look at the lanterns? There's nothing good to look at. Let's just roast barbecue and have some bar. I didn't eat at noon and I was hungry!"

Li Mu deliberately said: "There is a pre-selected courtesan in Pingkangfang tonight, and the girl Jin Chen from Lichunyuan also participated. I thought about going to take a look. Since you want to drink, then don't go. Let's make a fire and barbecue!"

"Ah!" Li Siwen slapped his forehead and said, "Why did you forget this? No, no! Brother, you can eat barbecue at any time. You can only choose a courtesan for once a year. I have nothing to do, mainly because I can't delay my brother's business! Let's leave quickly, it's too late!" As he said that, he pulled Li Mu back, and everyone had to follow.

Dugu Jiu said coldly: "Lust is so swaying!"

"Bad! I'll just look at it, I didn't think about it! Everyone is a man, what are you pretending? Do you don't like women? Do you like men?"

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Dugu Jiu, a martial artist, is sensitive to the six senses. He clearly felt that when Li Siwen said this, at least two eyes fell on his back. There were only six people here. Except for him and Li Siwen, it was Li Mu and his three women. In other words, at least two of these four people noticed his strangeness.

Dugu Jiu didn't have the courage to look back and see which two people it was? He was afraid that one of them was Li Mu, so that he would never be able to face Li Mu again.

"Who likes men, I already have someone I like!" Mobile::

In desperation, he blurted out and as soon as he spoke, Dugu Jiu regretted it instantly.

It is easy to lie, but how can this lie be fulfilled? There is no such person at all. If Li Mu asks, who will he be on?

Sure enough, when he heard this, Li Mu immediately asked, "Which lady from a family has such good luck that I can fall in love with my brother?"

"Brother, I... just unrequited love, don't ask, I, I don't want to say it." Dugu Jiu ended the topic a little stiffly, passed by Li Siwen, and walked in front with a sword in his arms.

Li Siwen was one step behind, side by side with Li Mu, and whispered: "Brother, you can't guess either?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Who hasn't mentioned his little secret yet? But the woman who can make Ajiu like must be outstanding, but he is so difficult to speak, I'm afraid it's not a small family, um..." Li Mu thought for a moment, suddenly had a look of his eyebrows and said, "Is it a woman from the fifth surname? This kid knows that I don't deal with the fifth surname Qiwang, so he doesn't say it in front of me?"

"Hey!" Li Siwen nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's definitely the case. Not only are the five-family women, but also one of the three families of Zheng, Lu, and Cui!" The more Li Siwen thought about it, the more he felt the right way, and shouted, "Ajiu, please relax. Brother is not a stingy person. Even if you fall in love with your opponent's daughter and marry her, we will win!"

Dugu Jiu's voice floated over coldly: "That's not the case at all. If you talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth!"

Li Siwen immediately became depressed and muttered, "Don't I care about you... I'm so angry, is it because I'm right? Oh, I understand!" Li Siwen looked at Li Mu and said, "Brother, you and I have thought it wrong. He likes a woman with five surnames, a woman with five surnames, and the highest family! Although Dugu family is not small in Longyou, he definitely can't get into the eyes of the five surnames. The daughter of the eldest son's house is unwilling to marry him! That's why he is worried, right?"

"Is that right?" Li Mu turned around and looked at Wang Ou, and smiled, "The daughter of the eldest son of the five surnames has such high eyes?"

"Of course! Is our Majesty powerful? Wasn't that the same back then?" Li Siwen was about to run the train with his mouth full of mouth, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Wang Ou and quickly closed his mouth. As Li Mu's brother, he naturally knew about Wang Ou, but he talked to Li Mu nine times in front of him nine times but was just a chatterbox, and he didn't have a door in his mouth. Fortunately, he stopped the car in time this time.

Li Mu hit the back of his head and said, "Next time I will be disrespectful in front of your sister-in-law, I will beat you up."

Li Siwen quickly laughed and turned to Wang Ou and said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong..." As he said that, he said, "Sister-in-law, don't blame me!"

The first sentence is to apologize to Wang Ou, and the second sentence is to apologize to Bai Qiaoqiao for calling Wang Ou’s sister-in-law. In fact, in Li Siwen’s heart, there is only one sister-in-law, Bai Qiaoqiao. After all, he is an old acquaintance in Dingxiang, and he also witnessed the relationship between Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao with his own eyes.

He actually didn't recognize people like Li Zhien and Wang Ou. But after all, they were Li Mu's women, and there was nothing else to call them if they didn't call them sister-in-law, so this happened.

Wang Ou is a smart person, so naturally understands. She will not bother Li Siwen because she has already investigated the relationship between Li Siwen and Li Mu. Li Siwen is both a brother and a benefactor to Li Mu. Without Li Siwen's help, Li Mu might not be able to return home. Even if he returns home, he will not have the chance to come to Chang'an to make a name for himself, and everything that comes to the future will be gone.

If it weren't for Li Siwen's relationship, Li Ji would not have recognized Li Mu's godson. Even if Li Mu got the jade seal, the credit might not be his.

Of course, Li Mu also gave enough rewards to the Li family and his son, but if there is no cause, there will be no result. The love and friendship must be remembered in his heart. Wang Ou knows Li Mu's character and knows her identity, so she cannot have conflicts with Li Siwen.

Bai Qiaoqiao reacted a little slow. She didn't even understand what Li Siwen meant to say to her, but she didn't ask, because Li Mu was by her side. If it was an important thing, if Li Mu would mention it, it would mean that it was not an important thing, and it didn't matter.

When moving, Li Mu brought him a "RV" he built with a lot of money, and the four of them were more than enough to sit. Li Mu looked at the car's car and had a plan in his mind.

...

The election of the courtesan in Pingkangfang began with Emperor Yang of Sui in the past. Emperor Yang of Sui was a tyrant with a bad reputation in history, but he was not useless. On the contrary, he was a very smart, thoughtful, and playful person.

The rules for choosing a courtesan are said to have been decided by him personally.

The entire selection process of the courtesan selection is divided into three days. It is exactly the third day of the curfew opening during the Spring Festival holiday, which can ensure that more people can participate. The selection rules are very simple. The 14th day of the first lunar month and before dusk, outsiders are not allowed to enter Pingkangfang. The whole day is preparation time. At dusk, the gates of the court will open. Every person entering the court will receive a "Flying Flower Order", that is, a vote. There will be stage performances at the entrance of each brothel in the court. After watching it well, the "Flying Flower Order" will be thrown into the box next to the stage, take the first six, and enter the second day's competition.

On the first day, we were comparing singing and dancing. Each family was similar. The main thing was to determine whether the courtesan is beautiful or "color". However, the competition on the second day showed a lot of skills, and the skills were compared, that is, "art". The rules were still the same, and the person who received the highest vote was the final courtesan.

On the third day, the brothel of Huagu's house was released and the honor was enjoyed. All the platforms in Pingkang House had to be removed, leaving only the one of Huagu's houses. The whole Chang'an City's eyes were focused on this place, and it would be difficult for this brothel to not be popular.

On the first day of the competition, Li Mu was not worried at all. With Jin Chen's beauty and her dancing skills, unless the men in Chang'an City were blind, they would not have to worry about not being able to enter the top six. They were nervous because they were not nervous at all. He came over mainly to see the strength of his opponent. If he was not prepared enough, he would copy a few more Song lyrics on the spot and ask Jin Chen to find a few musicians to compose the music and perform together tomorrow. If the opponent's strength is average, it would be easier to make trouble. Just prepare for Dou E on the third day's unjustly selling tickets.

After receiving the "Flying Flower Order" and entering the house gate, Li Mu raised his nose and sniffed it, and his stomach started to roar. Why did he look like a roadside stall? He has come to Pingkangfang for more than a hundred times, and he has never seen a roadside stall. After all, there is a brothel here, not a western market. There is a roadside stall at the door, and the fragrance dissipates, which affects the writing of poetry. But today, it seems that there is a house at the door of every house, and there is no need to spend money.
