Chapter 129

As the sun was drooping west, Li Mu came out of the palace and came to Bai Naoer's house in Chang'an City.

In fact, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't understand. Bai Naoer's so-called "buying" house was actually built by him. It was just at the entrance of JD.com, the backyard of the grocery store. Before Bai Naoer did this, he had already greeted Li Mu, so Li Mu was not surprised at all when he heard Bai Qiaoqiao mention it.

Before he could reach the place, Li Mu was discovered far away. Ergou heard that Li Mu was coming and had been waiting near the entrance of the market. Seeing Li Mu's shadow, he quickly ran over and helped Li Mu lead the horse.

"Mr. Marquis! You have finally arrived. The young man has been waiting here for an afternoon."

"Wait for me?" Li Mu looked down at Ergou and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask you last time. I remember you were making a living in West City, why have you been following my father-in-law recently?"

"The youngest is no longer in the West City." Ergou explained: "Last time you killed the Dog Censor, in order to save you, Mr. Bai posted a wide range of 'hero letters' in the east and west cities of Chang'an City. Many capable people have been under Mr. Bai's command, and the same is true for the youngest. Now he is begging for food with Mr. Bai."

"Master Bai?" Li Mu's mouth almost grinned to his ears. It's so funny. Bai Naoer is now a master. He is still a hero in the east and west cities of Chang'an? Seeing Ergou, Li Mu could think of what kind of people he recruited.

It's nothing more than a thief!

However, Li Mu had no intention of looking down on him. When he was in the Dali Temple prison, a man named "Drum Flea" came to pass on the message to him, which played a key role. Li Mu remembered this person and asked, "Is that "Drum Flea" recruited by my father-in-law?"

"Yes, he is now the subordinate of the villain." As he said that, Ergou was a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said, "Master Bai heard that the villain knew him and the Marquis, and he entrusted important tasks to the villain. Now, under Mr. Bai, the villain is sitting in the second seat, and everyone under him is called the villain "Second Master". It's a coincidence that the villain is called "Zhao Shuangxi". Shuang is second, nickname is second, and the seat is second, hahaha..."

"Oh, it turns out that it was the Second Master in front of him." Li Mu teased him, bowed his fists and said, "I'm so reverent, Second Master!"

Ergou changed his face in fear, knelt on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and said repeatedly: "The Marquis is so bad that the villain is a villain. How dare the villain be the Marquis and call him "Second Master". The villain is the Marquis' lackey. The Marquis must not tease the villain anymore. Oh, the villain is the daughter of the father!"

"Just kidding, why are you doing so seriously?" Li Mu knocked Ergou's head with a horse whip and said, "You are a clever person and you are doing things well. My father-in-law is getting older and he is inevitably confused. You are by his side, so you have a care..." Li Mu looked at Ergou and suddenly asked, "Ergou, let me ask you, do you know who is the job you are serving?"

Ergou was stunned and was overjoyed. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Mr. Marquis, the villain knows in his heart that the villain is the job given by the Marquis."

"I'm pretty clear!" Li Mu knocked him again and said, "Come on, get up, I'll give you a benefit later."

"Hey!" Ergou got up happily and continued to pull the horse for Li Mu happily, not even slapping the dust on his pants, as if it was some glory.

The grocery store was next to the entrance of the market and arrived in a few steps. The market had just been built, and there were not many merchants, so naturally there were not many customers. Li Mu and his party were riding tall horses, and Li Chongyi's figure was so short that someone had already informed Bai Naoer.

Cheng Qian, the manager of Bai Naoer, spoke. When he heard Li Mu coming, he quickly threw down everything and came to the door to greet him. Li Mu got off the horse and saw Cheng Qian, waved to him and whispered a few words. Cheng Qian immediately widened his eyes and glanced at Li Mu, as if he was burning his butt, and ran to the horse farm.

Bai Naoer was stunned and asked quickly: "Son-in-law, what did you say to him? Try him like that?"

"Oh!" Li Mu sighed, looked at Bai Naoer, turned around and walked inside, and said, "Let's talk about it when you go in."

Bai Naoer quickly followed, but Li Chongyi and the guards did not follow, but guarded the door of the grocery store. Ergou also stayed with him. The most important thing for the people in the market was their winks. After hearing what they shouldn't have heard, they would be in trouble.

When they entered the backyard and came to the hall, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien also came out of the inner room. Seeing that Li Mu looked a little ugly, Bai Qiaoqiao asked, "Husband, what happened again?"

Li Mu glanced at Bai Naoer and said, "No big deal, you're ruining money."

"Ah?" Bai Qiaoqiao asked hurriedly, "Why did you lose money?"

Li Mu sighed, took out an imperial edict from his arms, unfolded it, glanced at Bai Naoer, and said, "Bai Chun received the edict!"

The system of the Tang Dynasty was different from that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Not all those who passed the imperial eunuchs were eunuchs. Only in the capital, the emperor's decrees were conveyed by eunuchs. When they left the capital, a civil servant in their territories served as eunuchs. Even in the capital, they were not all eunuchs who passed the imperial eunuchs. They were different in nature, and some officials from each department sent the imperial eunuchs. The one who did the most was the official of the Ministry of Rites.

Bai Naoer was already shocked. When did he ever think about the day he would receive the imperial edict in his life? Bai Qiaoqiao reacted quickly. She took the imperial edict and knew how to accept the imperial edict. She whispered to Bai Naoer. Bai Naoer then hurried to find Wang who was doing needlework in the house, snatched the thread basket out of her hand, pulled it out and pressed it on the ground, and cursed: "Damn the woman, marrying you is considered a bloody disaster, it is not helpful at all. Qiaoqiao's mother was a hundred times better than you..."

"Old man, you didn't say that..." Wang was about to retort when he suddenly saw Bai Naoer winking and seeing Li Mu's eyes, he looked up and saw Li Mu's eyes, and was so scared that he quickly closed his mouth.

Li Mu took their appearance in his eyes, and was too lazy to talk. He cleared his throat and said, "Listen to the sacred order, don't make noise!"

Bai Naoer and Wang quickly bowed to the ground, touching the ground with their foreheads, and their farts were stuck in their crotch and they didn't dare to put them.

Li Mu said loudly: "The imperial edict said: I heard that there is a new market called 'Jingdong Ji' near the east city', which is convenient for merchants and the people. I was happy with it, so I asked the Marquis of Zhulu. After the Marquis of Zhulu, Bai Chun was appointed as the seventh-rank market order. I hope to do my best to live up to my expectations. The edict follows the right hand, and the master will implement it."

After finishing reading the imperial edict, Li Mu closed the imperial edict and handed it to Bai Naoer, saying, "Take it, Lord City Order."

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace. Your Majesty is so kind and great. Bai Nao... Oh, no, I will never forget it." Bai Naoer kowtowed. Although Wang didn't understand it very well, he also knew that his man had become an official, so he kowtowed.

Li Mu hid to the side, looked at Bai Naoer's swollen forehead, and said, "Okay, get up quickly, do you want the imperial edict?"

"I want it!" Bai Naoer quickly got up, rubbed his hands on the clothes and then took the imperial edict into his hand. He hugged it tightly in his arms as if he was holding a golden lump.

Bai Qiaoqiao was also happy for her father, but seeing that Li Mu's expression was still not very good, she asked, "Husband, isn't it a good thing for my father to become an official? Why are you unhappy?"

"How happy!" Li Mu said angrily: "Do you know how this official came about? I exchanged it for 20% of the winery members and 10% of the horse farm members! Madam, do you know how much it costs!"

Li Mu said, covering his chest with one hand and making a heartbroken look, and pointing at Bai Naoer with the other finger tremblingly, saying, "If it weren't for your father, I had to be an official, would I lose so much money?!"

When Bai Qiaoqiao heard this, her face turned pale and immediately said, "No! Dad, you can't be a lie!"

Bai Naoer also looked apologetic, but seeing that Bai Qiaoqiao was coming to grab the imperial edict, she quickly took a step back and hid it tighter.

Bai Qiaoqiao stamped her feet in a hurry and said, "Dad, why are you so ignorant! Whether it is a winery or a horse farm, all the members are worth a thousand gold! Not to mention a seventh-rank official, even a fifth-rank official, so what if you are a fourth-rank official? With your husband here, you are still worried about not having food and clothing, and you have to be an official! You really want to make your daughter angry to death!"

Li Mu drooped his eyelids and watched the show. He didn't deliberately make fun of Bai Qiaoqiao. His main purpose was to beat Bai Naoer, so that Bai Qiaoqiao could be better for him. Why not do it by the way?

But he still underestimated Bai Naoer's shamelessness. Bai Naoer's bottom line was that there was no bottom line. When he saw Bai Qiaoqiao say this, he actually knelt down for Bai Qiaoqiao! The father actually knelt down for his daughter! Li Mu's eyes were about to fall out.

"Daughter, my dad wants to be an official in this life. Please, the son-in-law has done it for his father. Don't interfere, okay?"

Bai Qiaoqiao had no choice but to kneel down and cried, "Dad, why are you forcing me like this..."

Li Zhien was so anxious that she wanted to help Bai Qiaoqiao up, but she didn't even afford it, looking at Li Mu pitifully.

Li Mu thought to himself, "No, I can't watch the show anymore." He didn't expect such a situation to happen. He quickly let go of his hand covering his chest, came over to pick up Bai Qiaoqiao, glared at Bai Naoer and Wang, and said, "Everyone gets up, what do you think of crying!"

Bai Qiaoqiao was still going to speak, and Li Mu showed his majesty as a husband and said, "Your Majesty's will has been issued, can it be changed? Madam, if you think about your husband, let me save some attention. Isn't it all for you?"

One sentence moved Bai Qiaoqiao so much that she cried bitterly, and plunged into Li Mu's arms. Li Mu gently patted Bai Qiaoqiao's back to calm her down, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but want to rise. This scene happened to be seen by Li Zhien next to her.

The little girl stared at Li Mu in confusion for a while, and suddenly understood what was going on, so she secretly grimaced at Li Mu. Li Mu handed over a look, Li Zhien curled his lips and compared the shape of candied fruit with his hands, meaning to tell Li Mu that if you want to seal this matter, you have to use candied fruit to solve it.

Li Mu nodded quickly and said in a deep voice to Bai Naoer who had just gotten up: "The matter has been settled and cannot be changed. But I have to make it clear."
