Chapter 231 Night talk

"Master, isn't that Wei Zheng harming you enough? Why do you have to give him money to treat him and make him die of illness?"

At night, while Bai Qiaoqiao was taking a shower, Li Zhien pestered Li Mu and climbed onto him, saying a little unhappy.

Li Mu was a little distracted by this girl, and patted her on the butt, saying, "Be honest, it makes me angry, I will give you-"

"Come on?" Li Zhien was not afraid at all. He pulled Li Mu's hand into his bellyband, looked at him in a daze and said, "Master, Zhien is looking forward to it all the time."

"You," Li Mu sighed, pulled his hand out of Du's pocket, held Li Zhien's waist, and said, "What's the matter that has been agreed upon? I'm not in a hurry."

"When people watch you and your wife every day - how can they not be anxious!"

"Then, are you going back to your room to sleep?"

"No." Li Zhien rubbed in Li Mu's arms and said, "Xiao Zhu and the others should laugh at me."

"What's the joke?"

"Why don't you laugh at me?" Li Zhien pouted and said, "I slept with my master for so long and was suddenly driven out. They must think I'm not favored anymore. Not only do I want to laugh at me, but I also want to bully me."

Li Mu smiled helplessly: "You..."

At this time, Bai Qiaoqiao finished bathing and entered the house and wore a silk "pajama". This was Li Mu's latest design, so she naturally made it for her wives and concubines to wear it first. Li Zhien didn't wear it because she wanted to "seduce" Li Mu. She knew that Li Mu liked her wearing a bellyband.

"What are you talking about?"

Bai Qiaoqiao asked casually, and Li Zhien immediately complained: "Madam, I'm talking about the master's bias. There has never been any pre-provisioning monthly routines in our mansion. But when the girl Wei Yingluo came, the master made an exception for her. I think the master must have ulterior motives, and he won't admit it yet."

Li Mu was stunned: "You girl, you turn your back so quickly!"

Li Zhien stuck out his tongue. When it comes to other women, she always had a united front with Bai Qiaoqiao.

Bai Qiaoqiao wiped her hair dry and blew out the candle to go to bed. Li Zhien obediently gave up her seat. Li Mu squeezed into Bai Qiaoqiao's arms and pulled Li Zhien into her arms. He liked the feeling of being stuck in the middle. He hugged her left and right. This is the blessing of being together, right?

"My husband said this, I'm grateful. I think my husband did a good job. No matter what the relationship between Duke Zheng and his husband in the court, Yingluo is now a member of the mansion. Her father is sick and wants to be filial and prepay for the monthly bill. How can the husband not agree? If the husband really doesn't agree and it is spread, they will say that his husband is narrow-minded."

"Yes." Lee Ji-en responded, and after a while, he said again: "Just feel angry."

"You are so angry." Li Mu smiled and said, "But you don't have to be angry tomorrow. I plan to let Wei Yingluo go to the craftsman's workshop and not live in the mansion."

"Ah?" Lee Ji-eun got up and said, "Master, why?"

Li Zhien's "hate" to Wei Yingluo, in the final analysis, is due to the "threat" brought by Wei Yingluo. In Li Zhien's idea, the best state is that no newcomers will be included in the mansion. It is enough to have Mrs. Bai Qiaoqiao and her concubine. If there is more, it is too much. The same is true for her annoyance to Wei Yingluo. Why does His Majesty put an opponent in the master without any discrimination?

The point is, he looks like a lady. What's there to show off?

But this does not mean that Li Zhien wanted to cut off Wei Yingluo's life. She put on Wei Yingluo's shoes, just to make her "preserve". It's not really trying to drive her away, Li Zhien also knew that Wei Yingluo is homeless now. What if she is really driven out of the mansion, what should she do if she dies again?

This kind of thought is not that it is too pitiful to Wei Yingluo or a Virgin. It is just that Li Zhien has felt helpless and like duckweed on the way from Goguryeo to Chang'an. Wei Yingluo is not a traitor and evil person and should not be punished like this.

Li Zhien's reaction surprised Li Mu, saying, "Don't you hate her? Why are you still worried?"

"I..." Li Zhien snorted and said, "I'm afraid she will die outside after leaving our mansion!"

Li Mu laughed and said, "I am worthy of being my concubine, I am kind-hearted. Don't worry, I will let her go to the craftsman's workshop and I will settle her well and will not let her starve to death outside."

"I have two considerations for doing this. First of all, I am a big girl. I live in our house for too long, which is not good to say. It is not good to her reputation and not good to me. After all, I, Li Mu, are not a lustful person!"

As soon as this said, Bai Qiaoqiao made a nasal sound as if she was holding her laughter. Li Zhien couldn't help laughing. Li Mu's face suddenly turned dark and he said angrily: "What do you two mean? In your heart, am I a lustful person?"

"No." Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly coaxed him and said, "My husband will always be the best husband in my heart."

"Hmph." Li Mu pinched Li Zhien's face and said, "Where are you? Why are you laughing at?"

"I want to tell the truth. In my heart, the master is a lustful person."

"Um?"

"Otherwise, how could the master buy me?"

"Yoyo," Li Mu curled his lips and said, "What are you praising yourself for being beautiful in different ways? Little girl, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. The fairy is right in front of me, and I dare to say that she is beautiful?"

Bai Qiaoqiao's cheeks were so embarrassed that she felt hot, and she said angrily: "You said she was just talking about her, why did you get me back?"

"Oh, don't do it anymore, you bully me." Li Zhien pretended to be angry and squeezed into Li Mu's arms again.

Li Mu also laughed twice and said, "Actually, what I'm telling the truth is that you may think I'm lustful - but many times, I just appreciate it, and it's far from reaching the level you imagined. Take Mrs. Mudan and me as an example-"

Bai Qiaoqiao stretched out his hand and gently blocked Li Mu's mouth, saying, "Husband doesn't need to explain. Qiaoqiao just wants her husband to be happy and happy, so that she can let Qiaoqiao be by her side. Qiaoqiao is not jealous, and she can do whatever she wants."

"Ah..." Li Mu sighed, then pinched Li Zhien's cheek and said, "Now do you know why you can't be a wife? You little jealous jar."

"I always say that I... the lady is jealous too. She just doesn't say it," Li Zhien muttered in a low voice, but did not dare to say it loudly.

"Anyway - forgot, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about what happened just now, I asked Wei Yingluo to move to the craftsmen's workshop, and another purpose was to facilitate her to teach the craftsmen."

"Teacher?" Li Zhien frowned and said, "Do you want to set up a school? Wei Yingluo is probably not qualified."

In this era, only recognized great scholars are qualified to buy a library and apprenticeship. Ordinary scholars teach, which is called a private school, and they go to other people's houses to teach, and they are called a Mr. Xixi. Usually, those who run private schools are worse than those who are ceremonials and ceremonials, than those who are ceremonials, Hongwenguan, and Chongwenguan. However, at this level, it is up to be discussed. Two great scholars from Shandong, such as the Louvre and Zheng Jing, who once set up a school in Chang'an, did not think they were much worse than Kong Yingda.

But no matter how you compare, Wei Yingluo is not qualified. Not to mention buying a school, her age is still a woman, and no one will come to run a private school.

"It's not a school." Li Mu corrected: "It's a college, how can I say it..." Li Mu thought about it and said: "Simply understand, it's bigger than a school. The Hongwen Pavilion and Chongwen Pavilion have only a hundred people in total. My college has a preliminary idea of ​​five hundred people."

"five hundred?"

Li Zhien exclaimed in surprise. If it weren't for the words being said by her master, she would really be able to laugh at her. Do you think she is Saint Kong? How dare you teach five hundred children?

Li Mu added leisurely, saying: "In three years, it has been expanded to 3,000 people."

Yes, I really think of myself as a saint Confucius.

Although Bai Qiaoqiao didn't understand these, she had seen how many 3,000 people there were. When Dingxiang came to Chang'an, she followed Li Ji's army and saw it every morning when the number of people exceeded 1,000, and it looked like it was vast, and 3,000 people were boundless. How could so many people be possible?

"Husband, you must be cautious."

"Anyway, it's not me who teaches me, I'm cautious." Speaking of this, Li Mu explained a few more words and said, "The college I want to start is not a scholar. But a craftsman. Carpenters teach carpenters, blacksmiths teach blacksmiths, stonemasons teach stonemasons, and skillful hands, and the focus is technology, so it is called the "Dangtang Vocational and Technical College". Wei Yingluo is responsible for teaching craftsmen to recognize words and simple arithmetics. What's wrong with her being qualified? She is illiterate or can't calculate?"

Li Zhien was not willing to be outdone and said, "What's the great thing about literacy and arithmetic? I will do it." After saying that, he remembered Bai Qiaoqiao and quickly added a sentence, saying, "Madam, too."

Bai Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I won't mention it. I just knew a little. However, Zhien is very proficient. She learned the four algorithms after reading the newspaper by herself."

"Is that true?" Li Mu glanced at Li Zhien and said, "Self-study?"

"That's not, I'll be fine. Master, am I powerful?"

"Awesome, I have learned that Li Chunfeng after teaching it for a long time. You are better than Li Chunfeng." Li Mu smiled and nodded, and said, "But I can't bear to give you a lecture at the craftsman's workshop. If you teach those craftsmen, when I sleep in in the morning, no one will hug you-" After pausing, Li Mu said, "It's okay if you have to go there. You can get the empty seats to fill in."

"She thinks beautifully!" Li Zhien kept Li Mu's arm and said coquettishly: "I finally climbed onto my master's bed. It's impossible to give it to others. No one can think of it, and Xiaozhu will be even worse."

"What's wrong with Xiaozhu?"

"I..." Lee Ji-en shook his head and said, "It just won't work."

"Tell me, what's wrong with Xiaozhu?"

Seeing that Li Mu kept asking, Bai Qiaoqiao had to help Li Zhien explain, and said, "You, don't understand this? She turned out to be a maid like Xiaozhu. Later, she became a concubine. If Xiaozhu also became a concubine, she would be far away from you. In the future, wouldn't she have to look at Xiaozhu's expression when she returns to this mansion?"

"Yeah, yeah! Master, don't."

"That's not necessarily. If you are disobedient..."

"Be obedient and obedient, you must be obedient. Zhien is the most obedient."

"Okay, go to bed." Li Mu patted Li Zhien on the butt, and Li Zhien immediately pouted. She knew what this meant. The couple wanted - her, the extra person, to turn around.

"Master, I too..."

"Disobedient?"

"oh--"

Li Zhien pouted and turned over. After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao's suppressed "Yeah" sound began. Li Zhien twisted his legs like a live shrimp steamed in a pot, twisting restlessly.

...

Li Shimin's toothache had not healed yet. The day before yesterday, he had a battle with Wei Zheng because of appointing Wang Jingze as the chief censor. Although he won, the fire also came and his cheeks were swollen again. Therefore, he had only been discussing the court for two consecutive days.

Although the court discussion was suspended, the memorial would not be suspended. Li Shimin was upset and could not bear it. So he called Changsun Wuji over and asked him and Eunuch Gao to help him watch some small matters. Changsun Wuji first deal with them and give his opinions, and then he would finally decide the big matters. Changsun Wuji would read them and discuss them again.

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin's cheeks, he worriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you have no choice but toothache? Doctor Sun has no choice?"

"Oh, the passing years are not good!" Li Shimin sighed, "Doctor Sun has seen it. He said that I have another tooth. This tooth is against the gum. If it doesn't come out, it will hurt all the time. There is no way. Even if I want to pull this tooth out, I have to wait for the tooth to come out... Oh, it hurts me so much. I am already thirty-two years old, why have I grown new teeth?"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is a happy event. I have seen similar records in the records of the Grand Historian. According to legend, only Qin Emperor and Han Wu have grown new teeth after their thirties—"

"Okay, okay," Li Shimin felt uncomfortable with toothache. He was too lazy to listen to these flattering words, and said, "I have read the record of the Grand Historian, how can I do this? Auxiliary machine, read the memorials, I'm upset."

"promise."

Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao and asked, "Is that guy Wei Zheng dead? No, what I mean is, have you given him medicine?"

Eunuch Gao hurriedly put down the memorial in his hand and stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the little eunuch who went to deliver medicine yesterday was sent back. Wei Zheng's wife Pei said that the family can still handle it. Thank you for your grace."

"Take face!" Li Shimin said angrily: "I don't know how much money he has at home? I have fined him half a year's salary, so how can he get the medicine? You Wei Zheng, you would rather die of illness than accept the medicine I gave, right? Okay, I see how long you can be tough!"
