"Li Daliang is down-to-earth and willing to work hard and dare to take responsibility." When talking about Li Daliang, Li Ji was quite approving, and Li Mu was a little surprised, because this was the first time that Li Ji had praised the situation in the court and showed that he had a look of praise since now. It was enough to enter Li Ji's eyes that this person must have outstanding features.

"Li Daliang was the son of Li Chongjie, the former chief of Sui Shuozhou, Wuyang County Duke. At that time, someone falsely accused Li Chongjie of rebellion. Emperor Wen summoned him to the court to defend himself. He died of worries and anger on the road, and the family fell into trouble. When Li Daliang grew up, the world was in chaos. He first joined Pang Yu's army, but later Pang Yu was defeated by Li Mi in Wagang Village and joined the Wagang Army. After the founding of the Supreme Emperor, he led his troops to surrender and was appointed as the magistrate of Tumen County.

In the world, many people became bandits. After Li Daliang took office, he was dispersed and scattered, and to buy food for the people to satisfy hunger, he sold all his horses. During his tenure, he was famous for his diligence and benefiting the people. After learning about it, the Supreme Emperor promoted him to Sima, and was ordered to send troops to Jingxiang and seize ten cities in a row. When Fu Gongyu rebelled, he used a plan to capture his general Zhang Shan'an and made contributions. The Supreme Emperor praised him and appointed him as Duke Wuyang County."

When Li Mu heard this, he knew it. It turned out that this person was from the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. Once the emperor was the emperor and the minister, if Li Shimin became the emperor, he would naturally be thrown into the cold palace and come to the Ministry of Works to serve his job.

Just as he was about to change the topic, Li Ji said again: "Li Daliang is both civil and military, but what I really admire is his character. Li Daliang has no mansion and lives in the official office with his wife. He sold the mansion given by His Majesty and his salary to pay for his family members who died in battle. It is very rare."

After hearing Li Ji say so much, Li Mu's mind slowly formed this look: Li Daliang is a brick of the Tang Dynasty's national construction, and he can move it wherever he wants to do, he does whatever he wants to do, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and has no complaints. The most rare thing is that he is a proletarian, not greedy for money or lust, and all his property is donated... Li Mu is a little unbelievable. He has lived such a person for two lifetimes, and has never seen him, and has only seen him in the promotional video.

However, he did not say this, what a person is like, a hundred people have a hundred impressions, and what kind of person Li Daliang is, can only have a real feeling when he sees it with his own eyes.

It was late at night and the chat was about to come to an end. Li Ji suddenly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Mu. Li Mu took it with a suspicious look on his face, and found it was a house deed, so he quickly pushed it back and said, "Entertainment Father, I can't ask it, you can take it back quickly."

Li Ji pushed it back and said, "Originally, I didn't want to give it to you so soon, but I wanted to wait until you and Qiaoqiao get married. But now that there is a marriage gift, I have to go ahead. Don't refuse, you can't let your mother get married from here. Don't be polite to me, you have become sworn brothers with Siwen, just like my son. Your father passed away early, and your mother is going to get married, and I, the adoptive father, have to think about you."

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and put away the house contract. He originally planned to refuse, but Li Ji's words touched him. Yes, he couldn't let Sun get married from Duke Cao's mansion. Although it was still a bit awkward to think about it, it was really justified.

"Thank you, the adopted father. I don't know what to say, I remember it in my heart."

Li Ji smiled and said, "It is brave to escape from the camp to send letters. Go back and return to help Siwen guard the city. This is righteous. Save the lives of the people in the city. This is benevolence. Seizing the jade seal of the country is a plan. For the sake of his mother, he even dares to contradict the emperor. This is filial piety. He is brave and scheming, benevolent, righteous and filial. Such a young man, even if he is not my adopted son, I will take care of him. Good child, you are very good. It's a pity that your righteous brother is not half as good as you. You should advise him more in the future."

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Siwen has something to do, so don't worry too much about his adoptive father."

"I hope so." Li Ji said, and stood up and said, "It's cold and dew heavy, so you can go back and rest early. Tomorrow I will ask your second uncle to prepare a horse for you. The Ministry of Works is far away and it is easier to ride a horse."

"Thank you for your adoptive father."

Li Ji smiled and turned around and left. Li Mu also put the cooled wine in a jar, packed it up for a while, and returned to the cross-yard for a rest.

The next day, the rooster crowed and the Tang family's dowry was delivered to the door. Li Ji opened the middle door and welcomed him. In the lobby, Li Mu and Tang Jian met. Both sides were very embarrassed when they met. Under Li Mu's eyes, Tang Jian's face was blushing like a monkey's butt and did not dare to look at him.

After a long time, Li Mu sighed and said, "Mr. Tang, you and I have experienced life and death together. I have been happy for a long time when I heard that you had escaped from the ascension to heaven. I also trust you very much, so I thought of placing my family in your mansion in the critical moment. But I never thought that you could do such a thing. You can tell me something!"

Tang Jian hurriedly said, "Li Mu, don't misunderstand it. I have nothing to do with your mother. My feelings for her are all based on my heart and politeness. I really can't help but feel in love, so I gave up my face and asked Your Majesty to be a matchmaker. I think these days, maybe this is because of the will of God in the dark. Do you still remember that when you and I first met, I promised 'Your mother, I raised it', but I didn't want to make a statement. Things in the world are so wonderful! "

Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Tang, if you let me hear such shameless words again, I might have to regret it."

Tang Jian didn't dare to offend Li Mu at this time, and quickly said, "It's all my random guesses that I can't count, and I can't count..."

Li Mu was too lazy to talk to this young guy, and said bluntly: "Mr. Tang, I can agree to this matter, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty's matchmaking, nor has it to do with your high position and power. Today I simply explained it clearly. The reason why I agreed to this marriage was entirely because my mother, Sun, was also interested in you. My mother raised me and suffered a lot. I once made a vow in my heart to make her feel comfortable and live a good life. The decision she made was that she could not disobey her son, but could only follow it. But there were three things, I would like to say that you must respond to me before this matter was truly decided."

"You said, don't talk about three, I agree to all ten!"

"The first thing is that you have to treat her well. This time you marry her will be considered a matter that the government and the people know. If one day you fall in love with someone else, even if my official position is lower than you, I will not let it go with you."

"Of course, I have a relationship with your mother, Sun, and I just hope to stay together for the rest of my life. How can I fall in love with someone else? If one day I will tell me that I will die a good death."

"The second thing is that I know that your family has three generations of noble births, but I cannot be angry with my mother because of this. If I know which son of yours or which relatives do not respect my mother, I will not let you go."

"I have thought of this and have given instructions for it for a long time. It is not only my son and relatives. No one who does not respect my wife, and I cannot give up with him if you don't need you."

"The third thing," Li Mu paused for a moment and said seriously: "Although I, Li Mu, have a humble background, have a strong backbone and have shame, and cannot bear the reputation of offering my mother to seek honor. Therefore, I will not accept any form of help from you, and you don't have to work hard for me, just treat my mother well!"

Tang Jian said in surprise: "Why is this..."

Li Mu was too lazy to explain and said directly: "I have agreed to these three things. I can call you stepfather. If you don't agree, this matter will end here. Make a decision."
