Chapter 437 Good brother-in-law and good uncle
"Brother, you can't smash it. I, I, I, got it!"
Li Siwen squeezed out of the crowd, dressed in red and looked red. Seeing him like this, Li Mu frowned and said, "What are you doing? What nerves are you?"
Li Siwen said with a serious look on his face, "Brother! I wasn't nervous. I woke up this morning and recalled what you said last night. The more I thought about it, the more I felt it made sense. Just like you said, you and my sister-in-law were both matchmakers of parents. How could I not follow my example as your younger brother? Since my father has already made this marriage for me, you think it is feasible, then I will marry her! You are right, brother, who is not a marriage, nor can I only marry one woman. I marry her. If it is not suitable for my wishes, I will marry another. If it is unsatisfactory, I will marry another. Anyway, my family can afford to be well-off, so what are you afraid of?"
"My father gave me hundreds of hectares of land. On the other side of Dingxiang, I have a city. Although it is quite poor now, I will get rich sooner or later. And I have followed my example and bought tens of thousands of acres of land. When the eldest brother grows, I will plant whatever my eldest brother grows. I will also make money as well!" Li Siwen approached Li Mu and lowered his voice: "Brother, I found that you are still smart. Why do you think this person is doing when he has money? You have to marry more women and have more children, otherwise the money will be earned in vain? You are right, I will marry Miss Qin first. I will put it aside if it looks good. She is the daughter of the Duke. Dowry must be indispensable, hahaha..."
Li Mu watched Li Siwen perform coldly, and suddenly his lips curled up and said, "Brother, you are right! Without further ado, wait for me, I will change my clothes to accompany you to propose marriage!"
"Ah?!" Li Siwen was stunned and hurriedly stopped Li Mu, saying, "Brother, I'm not that anxious. I just practice it. I don't like this drumming very much. Brother, wait--"
Li Siwen chased to the door, but Li Mu slammed the door and was separated from the outside, completely confused.
He was preparing for a trick of playing hard to get. He thought that Li Mu would definitely stop him by saying this. He would borrow the donkey to avoid this marriage, but he did not expect Li Mu to borrow the donkey to get rid of the donkey. Now it is difficult to get rid of the tiger, what should I do?
In a daze, Li Mu had already changed into a brocade robe. He usually wore tiger furs, and made countless brocade robes, which were rarely worn once. Today is a failure for Li Siwen.
"Let's go, it's better not to be late, let's make the marriage today!"
"Brother..." Li Siwen's legs were weak and she was about to collapse on the ground. She hugged Li Mu's arm and begged: "My joking brother, I don't want to get married."
Li Mu lowered his face and said, "Good boy, it's you who said he was married, and it's you who said he didn't get married. Can you play tricks on me? How could I, Li Mu, be a military marquis, suffer such a great humiliation? Today you go to propose marriage, and you and I are still brothers. If you don't go, you will be a stranger in the future!"
"Brother——"
Just as the two were in a stalemate, a vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Is this where Zhulu Hou is?"
Li Mu looked at the door: "Who is looking for me?"
"I am Qin Qiong."
Li Mu froze, and Li Siwen froze too. Li Mu quickly glared at Li Siwen, pulled his hand out to meet the door, and saw Qin Huaidao also next to him, but he didn't care. He seemed to have not seen it, and greeted Qin Qiong: "I don't know if Duke Yi has arrived, and the boy is missing."
There was no embarrassment at all. Qin Huaidao, who was holding the basket, was stunned. Can a person be so shameless? The swelling on my face has not yet subsided!
Qin Qiong coughed lightly, smiled and said, "Marquis Zhulu doesn't have to be too humble. Although you and I haven't met each other, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I'm meeting today, and it's true that he is a young talent. Don't you invite me in and sit down?"
"Oh oh, rude, please, Duke Yiguo." Li Mu stepped aside and made a move. Qin Qiong saw Li Siwen, was stunned for a moment, then smiled, nodded, and said nothing.
Li Mu took Qin Qiong to his study and separated Qin Huaidao and Li Siwen outside.
Li Siwen looked at Qin Huaidao's reluctance and was in a very happy mood. Yesterday, he and Qin Huaidao fought hard, and Qin Huaidao was so lucky that he was really beaten several times. It hurts when he woke up this morning.
Seeing Qin Huaidao holding a basket in his arms, he reached out to lift the cloth covering it. Qin Huaidao sideways and blocks it, but Li Siwen saw what was inside.
“Jerky?”
In Chang'an, where can I see beef jerky except for Li Mu's family and Cheng Yaojin's mansion? Li Siwen doesn't eat it often, so he almost pulled a piece of his hand while Qin Huaidao was unprepared.
"You rob me of jerky?" Qin Huaidao was furious. This jerky was hard-earned. The cow was laborer and was not allowed to be killed. However, it was necessary to get a master. The pork jerky was too disrespectful to Li Mu and was inappropriate, so he had to be jerky. However, he searched for Chang'an and could not buy be jerky. In the end, he heard that a cow died a few days ago and made some jerky. Qin Qiong went to ask for some in person.
Cheng Yaojin refused to give it to him. Qin Qiong was very persuasive and brought out all his years of friendship, so he wanted to have such ten people. He was perfect in his mind. Li Siwen ate one, but this good mood was ruined.
Qin Huaidao reached out to snatch it. Li Siwen hid away like a rabbit and escaped one foot away. He confirmed that Qin Huaidao could not reach it. He broke up a piece of jerky meat and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, saying, "What are you doing so stingy? Isn't it just a piece of jerky meat? My elder brother's warehouse has something in the warehouse. If you feel sorry for it, you will get it back later... Um? Why is this smell the same as in my elder brother's warehouse? Did you steal my elder brother?"
"How could it be that he stole him? Where did he get the beef jerky? This is what my father wants from Uncle Cheng's place!"
"That's not bad." Li Siwen smiled and said, "When I came back the day before yesterday, I saw the people from the Cheng family coming to deliver jerky meat. It was a cow."
"It's useful to be too lazy to talk to you, you'll pay me back!"
"It's useful?" Li Siwen stopped chewing and asked blankly, "What are you used for? Isn't beef jerky just for eating?"
"That's not for you to eat!" Qin Huaidao came over a few steps and grabbed it back. Although he was eaten, he couldn't tell it when stuffed it into the basket. He glanced at Li Siwen and thought that this person would be his brother-in-law in the future, and he felt heartbroken. I pity my beautiful girl, why did she entrust such a guy?
"You can't be more serious? Like a person?"
"Why am I not like a human yet?" Li Siwen said angrily: "I, Li Siwen, are also known as the second among the peers in Chang'an City. Oh, no, the third handsome young man, why is there no one like this?"
"Second, third? Haha, you know yourself, but you didn't dare to be the first."
"Oh..." Li Siwen remembered the side face of Dugu Jiu that he saw that day, sighed, and said, "Originally, in my heart, this handsome young man is my eldest brother, and the second is me. But since I saw him that day, I suddenly realized that my eldest brother can only rank second, I can only rank third... But it's nothing, they are all my own brothers, it's good to be the third."
"..." Qin Huaidao almost fainted. He had seen shameless people, but had never seen such shameless people. It's not that he was Li Mu's brother, he was simply shameless in the same mold!
Qin Huaidao turned his head to the other side, not intending to talk to Li Siwen. But Li Siwen didn't want to let him go like this. He stuck to him and pointed to the basket and asked, "Hey, what are you doing this beef jerky?" Before Qin Huaidao answered, Li Siwen's face changed drastically and said in horror: "You should have applied laxatives and wanted to harm my elder brother, right? Oh, I've taken it, it's over, it's over, you're so vicious, Qin Huaidao!"
Qin Huaidao couldn't bear it anymore: "Why are you fart? I'm-"
At this moment, the door of the study opened, Li Mu walked out of the inside, saw this scene, and said in a deep voice: "Daoer, why are you talking to your uncle like this! Why don't you apologize to your uncle?"
"I..." Qin Huaidao almost suffocated himself to death in one breath. He felt so wronged. He glanced at Qin Qiong beside Li Mu and said in his heart, "Dad, Dad, you have made you suffer from reading a word!"
Li Siwen was confused. Before he could react, Qin Huaidao had already bowed to him in a regular manner: "I'm sorry, uncle."
"Ah... Get up, get up, brother, what's going on?"
Li Mu couldn't help laughing and pointed at Qin Huai and said, "Justice Duke just now, saying that Qin Huaidao was unbearable and did not want to study and improve, but instead lingered in the market all day long and fought. If this continues, the Qin family will be defeated by him sooner or later. Duke Yi saw it and was anxious in his heart. He heard that I taught Changsun Chong, another fool who was as famous as Qin Huaidao, to become a talent, and thought that it would be better to be a living horse and let him take me as his teacher and learn the great principles of life. I didn't want to accept him at first, but I was moved by Duke Yi's sincerity and thought about it. I just thought about it as giving Duke Yi a face and reluctantly accepted him as his apprentice."
"Brother! You are so awesome!" Li Siwen was very excited. This is my elder brother! At most, others defeated their opponents. My elder brother not only defeated their opponents, but also accepted their opponents as disciples! Let him call him master. Life is so proud, which makes people envious! He came to Qin Huaidao and was about to show off. Suddenly, Qin Qiong's voice sounded: "Nephew, I heard your righteous brother just talk about you, you want to marry my daughter Qin Yu. Even the matter of proposing marriage is ready. The gong and drum team outside the door just now is just for proposing marriage?"
"Ah?" Li Siwen was confused and didn't know how to answer.
Qin Qiong smiled and said to Li Mu, "The matter of apprenticeship is settled like this. You can accept Shu Xiu first, and wait for me to find the Imperial Heaven Supervisor to choose an auspicious day, and then invite the two senior brothers of Huaidao to be a witness and formally perform the ceremony of apprenticeship. We will go back first today."
"Okay, okay, just make the decision of all the Duke of the Wing."
Qin Qiong nodded and gave Qin Huaidao a wink: "Please hand Shu Xiu to your brother-in-law and let him carry it for your master. Let's go back first today."
