Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 67 You Remember Me!
001.
Completely ignoring the blue veins on Ma Yi's face and his distressed expression, Li Mu handed over the painting tube in front of Zhong Xiuyuan who was covering his mouth and giggling.
Seeing this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitched.
Li Mu didn't realize it at all, on the contrary, he was very calm.
"You..." Boss Shi's face was livid, he wanted to say something to curse, but he didn't know where to start.
To say that Li Mu is mean and shameless, he is a bit mean at the moment, but the rules are what Ma Yi said before.
Besides, catching thieves means catching stolen goods. So many people were watching, but they didn't see the slightest clue.
Everyone had complicated expressions on their faces. Zhong Xiuyuan looked at the painting tube handed to him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Li Mu...
At that moment, his heart gradually melted and became soft when the man in front of him casually raised his head and looked at him.
Li Mu saw that he liked this painting, so he did so.With this knowledge, Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Li Mu's indifferent eyes, and suddenly felt his mouth was dry, his heart was beating like a drum, and his whole body was churning violently.
He stretched out his hand and took the painting tube in Li Mu's hand that seemed to weigh ten thousand catties.
Li Mu handed the painting tube to the person beside him, got up and was about to leave.
Ma Yi, who was quite nervous at first, saw his darling fell into Li Mu's hands like this, and was then transferred to Zhong Xiuyuan by Li Mu, his face twisted tightly.
He really likes this painting!
At the beginning, he fell in love with this painting at a glance. During this period of time, he spent a lot of time talking with the person who collected this painting. Now he finally got this painting back, but it changed hands and changed hands...
Looking at the painting tube that had changed hands, Ma Yi regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
"How about I..." Ma Yi reached out to get the painting tube, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't look at him at all, but turned around and chased after Li Mu.
Looking at the painting tube that was getting farther and farther away from him, Ma Yi almost cried out.
Seeing this, everyone coughed in embarrassment, turned their faces away, and didn't look at Ma Yi.
Although Ma Yi is quite friendly, he is a tax collector with a high rank.Now that I lost the bet, I still stretched out my hand to get it back. This matter made people look at it, and naturally it made people feel a little embarrassed.
After coughing for a while, everyone dispersed and went on their own.
Holding the painting tube, Zhong Xiuyuan chased Li Mu into his house, and then stood behind him.
In front of him, Li Mu was taking white chess pieces out of his bedroom.
I don't know how he stuffed it into his pocket. After opening his clothes, he took out a lot of chess pieces.
"Thank you." Zhong Xiuyuan spoke quietly.
Li Mu, who was busy, looked back at him, and then at the painting tube he was holding in his hand.
In fact, he doesn't understand what's so good about this thing?It's worth Zhong Xiuyuan's confusion over this matter for the past few days.Thinking of how Zhong Xiuyuan had been getting very close to the man surnamed Ma in the past few days, Li Mu somehow disliked it.
"Is that what you like?" It's just ghosts.
If Zhong Xiuyuan sees the exquisite albums or pictures that he used to see, he must not be blinded.
What's so good about a broken painting?
Li Mu took out the chess pieces slowly, while slandering him.
Zhong Xiuyuan looked down at the painting tube he was holding in his hand. At first he only liked this painting, but now that Li Mu won it back for him, the level of liking is naturally completely different.
"I like it." Don't say that he liked this painting in the first place, even if he didn't like it in the first place, he must like it very much at this moment, "Then Ma has a good eye."
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at the liking on Zhong Xiuyuan's face, and after a while, he said again: "Then hang up."
"Hang?" Zhong Xiuyuan was taken aback.
Many famous paintings are precious, and most collectors choose to keep them carefully, for fear of a little accident, but few of them are actually hung, and their house in the mountain seems not suitable for hanging such things.
After Li Mu took out the chess pieces, he looked up at the room where they lived. Because this room was used to store Zhong Xiuyuan's previous books, there was no room to hang this painting, so Li Mu said, "Let's hang it in the main room."
After hearing Li Mu's words, Zhong Xiuyuan paused, this painting is a famous painting, if it is hung in the main room casually, it will inevitably be a bit...
It is estimated that Li Mu really does not understand these things, so he handles them so casually.
But soon Zhong Xiuyuan was relieved that this painting was nothing more than a painting to him, although it was indeed a masterpiece by a famous artist, but to him, what was more important was Li Mu's intentions.
After Li Mu took out all the chess pieces, he took the painting out, chose a place in the main room, and hung it up.
After hanging up, he nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, and the people who were sitting and playing in the yard have finished clearing the chessboard and are talking.
Boss Shi meant to let Ma Yi go down the mountain with him to live at the bottom of the mountain, but Ma Yi didn't want to leave for a moment.
He lost his painting here, how could he just leave?
After everyone discussed, Boss Shi and others went down the mountain again, and when Ma Yi followed Qian Qian into the main room of their house for dinner, when he found that his painting was actually hung on the wall by Li Mu, Ma Yi's face was full. It turned green immediately.
"Why is this painting here?" Ma Yi didn't care about eating, and hurried to the side to look at the painting hanging on the wall.
This is the main room, not a study area, people come and go here every day, and Li Mu and the others eat in the main room, so the oily smoke is smoky and the wind is blowing this day.
"Oh, I can't help it..." Ma Yi looked at the painting, feeling very distressed, "If this painting hangs, it will be ruined."
Other people's famous paintings are carefully put away as treasures, but the painting that Li Mu just got is hung on the wall after changing hands.
Ma Yi looked at the paintings on the wall, wrinkled his face and kept yelling that he couldn't do it, but Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and served food on the table, ignoring him at all.
Ma Yi chattered by the wall for a while, seeing that Li Mu ignored him at all, he set up a stool, and actually wanted to remove the painting hanging on the wall by himself.But as soon as he stood on this stool, his whole face turned pale with distress.
Because the way Li Mu hung the painting on the wall was with buckles, two wooden nails were buckled on the left and right sides, and the scroll was hung horizontally on it.
In this way, the painting was fastened tightly to the wall, but the wooden buckle made the scroll a little too tight.
"You are ruining it!" Ma Yi only felt that his heart seemed to be tightly entwined by a snake, and it was getting tighter and tighter, so tight that he couldn't breathe.
He stretched out his fingers to try to pry the wooden buckle open, but after trying several times, the wooden buckle was very tight and he couldn't pry it open at all.
Unable to get it off by himself, he turned back to look at Li Mu next to him, only to see that Li Mu had already filled the table with food.
Seeing the oily smoke wafting from the food, Ma Yi almost went mad with anger, "Take out the food, take it out quickly."
This painting is a famous painting, if it is smoked by oily smoke, it must be ruined, right?
After placing all the dishes and chopsticks in the room, Li Mu finally felt in the mood to pay attention to Ma Yi who moved a stool and stood by the wall, trying to pinch the painting he pinned on the wall.
"I think it's pretty good." Li Mu took a look at the seat he had chosen. He chose this spot very well, and he could see it as soon as he entered the door.
"No!" Ma Yi was anxious after hearing this, "The humidity in this mountain is too heavy sooner or later, if you just hang here like this, and the wind blows the oily smoke, this painting will be ruined by you."
"Damn it?" Li Mu repeated, with some doubts in his dark eyes.
"That must not be ruined." Ma Yi was really distressed. He had come to this painting with great difficulty, and he hadn't warmed it in his hands yet.
"If you ruin it, it will ruin me. Why are you in a hurry?" Li Mu sat down in front of the table indifferently, as if Ma Yi, who was stuck to the wall and tried to use his fingers to pick the wooden button he fastened on the wall, as a up the mural.
Ma Yi, who was already distressed and angry, didn't mention Li Mu's words, and almost fell off the stool.
After hearing Li Mu's words and seeing Ma Yi's appearance again, Zhong Manlu covered his mouth and began to laugh.
At this moment, Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly, and he understood somewhat.It's not that Li Mu doesn't understand painting at all, I guess he did it on purpose.
It's just that I don't know where Ma Yi provoked him, so that he made such calculations to bully him. He cheated the painting in the afternoon, and now he is still revenge.
He deliberately wanted to hang this painting on the wall, deliberately wanted to anger Ma Yi, deliberately wanted to see his distressed but disapproving expression on Li Mu.
Zhong Xiuyuan sat down beside Li Mu. He aligned the chopsticks, and then said to Ma Yi who was sticking to the wall: "Master Ma, why don't you come down first, let's eat the food first?"
Qian Qianqian had already brought the bowl, and was looking at his uncle on the wall with chopsticks, with his mouth still full of rice.
His uncle seems to be quite a serious person on weekdays, especially when it comes to some serious matters, he is simply unrecognizable by his relatives. It is the first time that he has been forced to crawl by someone for so many years. on the wall.
"Get the painting down for me first!" Ma Yi was so out of breath that he was almost desperate, he yelled viciously, and then begged with a mournful face, "Even if this painting is not mine, I beg you, okay? "
Ma Yi regretted it now, his guts were turning green. If he had known earlier, he should not have teased Zhong Xiuyuan with this painting, let alone gambled with Li Mu with this painting.
If this painting was ruined like this by Li Mu, he would die of heartache.
Li Mu ignored him completely, took a glass and poured himself wine, and began to eat.
After eating a meal, listening to the wailing of Ma Yi who was being pulled on the wall next to him, Li Mu's meal was extraordinarily delicious.
After Li Mu and the others finished their meal, Qian Qianqian pulled his uncle, forcibly pulled him off the wall, and dragged him to the opposite room of Uncle Hong's house.
Seeing Ma Yi, who was heartbroken and his eyes were scarlet, being dragged away by Qian Qian, Zhong Xiuyuan felt sorry for him inexplicably, "Don't bully him anymore, if you make him cry, Boss Shi will have to tell you urgent."
002.
Li Mu, who had already finished washing and was walking into the house, heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words, looked back at him, and after thinking about it, he decided that the painting should hang for two months.
He originally planned to hang up like this for a day or two, and let Ma Yi die of anger, but now that Zhong Xiuyuan has spoken for him, let's continue to hang up!
Seeing Li Mu go back to the house, Zhong Xiu followed Li Mu into the bedroom, and after closing the door, the three of them took off their coats and lay side by side on the bed.
Originally, Li Mu wanted Yun'er to sleep with Zhong Manlu, but he couldn't sleep at night.Ignoring Yun'er's suggestion to sleep on the floor, Li Mu took him to his room and let him sleep beside him and Zhong Xiuyuan.
Although the bed in his house is quite old, it is quite big. Although it is a bit cramped for three people, it can still fit.
Lying on the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't feel sleepy for a while, after pulling the quilt to cover Yun'er's stomach, Zhong Xiuyuan talked to Li Mu.
"I heard Master Qin said that he seems to be a character, so don't push him too hard." Zhong Xiuyuan reminded.
They had already heard about the specific identity of this person from Yun'er. Although Li Mu had no way of getting along with him now, they still had to be careful in the end.
Li Mu, who was about to go to bed, heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words, and only looked up at him, but was not ready to speak at all.
Zhong Xiuyuan waited for a while, but before Li Mu could answer, he looked at Li Mu in surprise, but saw that Li Mu had already closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He was a little surprised. Although Li Mu seldom talked, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk now.
Li Mu didn't want to talk, why?
Is he angry?
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little puzzled, why did the good Li Mu get angry and ignore him?
"Are you angry?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked.
"No." Li Mu still closed his eyes.
Listening to Li Mu's answer, Zhong Xiuyuan was sure that Li Mu was angry, it wasn't that he didn't hear but he just didn't want to talk to him.
But why?
Zhong Xiuyuan thought carefully about what happened in the afternoon, Li Mu was fine before Li Mu played chess with Na Ma Yi.Li Mu won the chess game, obviously he couldn't be unhappy about it, that's what happened later.
Li Mu doesn't know where he acquired his character of not wanting to suffer, but most of the time he just forgets after revenge, but this time, Ma Yi was repeatedly bullied by him...
Zhong Xiuyuan thought carefully about what happened after the chess game. After a while, his heart beat faster, and an inexplicable heat surged into his heart.
He felt that he had some understanding, but he was also a little uncertain.
Since Li Mu won the chess game, they had dinner within half an hour, and he and Li Mu had only spoken a few words during the period. It was obviously impossible for Ma Yi to provoke Li Mu again, so he did?
But in those few words, he didn't say anything other than Ma Yi's good words.
Before, he heard Master Qin say that Ma Yi is in charge of taxation. Although this person has no direct relationship with them now, if Li Mu plans to expand the business, he will definitely have contact with him, so this paragraph It took time for him to pay more attention to this person.
Zhong Xiuyuan looked at the person in front of him who closed his eyes and meditated, with a smile in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and held Li Mu's hand through Yun'er, "You still don't understand my thoughts?"
He just said a few nice things about Ma Yi, this man...
Looking at Li Mu with his eyes closed and resting his mind at this moment, and thinking about the posture of Ma Yi sticking to the wall before, the smile on Zhong Xiuyuan's face suddenly became wider. This person really makes him fall in love...
Listening to Zhong Xiuyuan's words beside him, Li Mu remained motionless and pretended to be asleep.
Next to him, the same is true for Yun'er, although he is still young and doesn't understand these things very well, but he also knows that what these two people are saying at this moment is the words of adults.
So he lay obediently, motionless, with his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep.
Zhong Xiuyuan said the words, and after waiting for a while without a response, he looked at the two sullen gods in front of him, one big and one small with eyes closed and pretending to be sleeping, and the smile on his face suddenly became wider.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, before dawn, everyone just woke up when they heard a small movement from the main room of their own house.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan quickly put on their clothes and went out, when they saw a person stuck on the wall.
Ma Yi found a stick from nowhere and was sticking it against the wall, trying to pry the button off.
Seeing this sneaky person, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan looked at each other, seeing a bit of speechlessness in each other's eyes.
Zhong Xiuyuan went forward to persuade this person to come down, and after saying a few words, Ma Yi insisted on not coming down, and insisted on asking Li Mu to remove the thing.
Li Mu ignored him, turned around and walked out the door, but when he turned around, his foot accidentally hooked the leg of the chair, and the chair wobbled, scaring the man on the wall with a pale face and hurried down.
After persuading the man down, Li Mu changed his clothes, ignored the man's nagging, and went down the mountain to see his ducks.
At the foot of the mountain, Boss Shi, who was thinking about coming up the mountain, was also very angry after hearing the urgent report from his subordinates.
"Idiot, I can't handle such a trivial matter." Boss Shi never expected that his batch of goods would go wrong at this critical moment.
He brought a batch of goods back from outside before, and said before that it was stuck at the border crossing. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but he only got the news today that the goods were detained.
This smuggling matter can be big or small, if it is thoroughly investigated, it will be found that his net worth is not enough to compensate, and if it is pursued, many people will be involved.
"Boss Shi, what should we do now?" The person who delivered the letter didn't look well.
Some time ago, the checkpoint was very strict at the checkpoint. At that time, they only thought that they would be able to pass the checkpoint smoothly after a while, but they were blocked immediately after they didn't expect it.
"What to do, what to do? Can't you use your own brains besides asking what to do?" Boss Shi was anxious.
The person who came to deliver the letter stood obediently with his hands behind his back, not daring to speak.
The other few people who have been walking back and forth in the room are also dripping with cold sweat at this moment. They all follow Boss Shi to do things, and they have invested a lot in this matter. If this guy is really investigated, then they It will be a big loss, and even worse, you will even be arrested.
"Boss Shi, you should hurry up and come up with an idea. If this is found out, all of us will be overwhelmed." The more anxious and chaotic, now the minds of several people have gone blank and they can't think of a way out.
Boss Shi opened his mouth and wanted to curse people, but in the current situation, he didn't have the heart to deal with these people at all, the most urgent thing was to get that batch of goods out for him.
After pondering for a while, Boss Shi called the messenger over and whispered in his ear.
After explaining to him and telling him to go back quickly to spread the news, he himself changed his clothes, went out, and rushed up the mountain.
After going up the mountain, Boss Shi's face was so pale that he found the money, and when they met, he hurriedly said: "It's not good, something happened!"
Qian Qianqian was currently comforting his crying uncle Ma Yi, when he saw Boss Shi coming in the morning with a pale face, he frowned, "What's wrong with you again?"
"It's not that something happened to me, but something happened to you, Nephew Jin!" Boss Shi avoided Ma Yi and went to the side to talk, holding the money, "Do you remember the batch of goods that were brought back from outside? I just Got the news, the goods were checked."
"What?" Qian Qianqian immediately frowned.
The Jin family's business is very big, and there is naturally a lot of business with outsiders. Not long before he came here, a batch of goods was sent here.
He went through formal channels for that batch of goods, and all the procedures were complete, so how could he be detained all of a sudden?
"This..." Boss Shi showed hesitation.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart quickly if you have something to say." Qian Qianqian is the most impatient of this person.
"There is a difference in the tax. The tax paid and the quantity of the goods are not right, so..." Boss Shi said.
Although the Jin family has always used formal channels, the people who handle the affairs are all from the lower ranks, and no one can guarantee that there are mistakes.
Boss Shi simply counted his own batch of goods into the Jin family's batch of goods. Fortunately, the two batches of goods were originally the same thing, otherwise he really has no choice now.
"How could this happen?" Qianqian was annoyed, if the tax point and the goods were not matched, it would be tax evasion, and it would be a serious matter if it was investigated.
"So nephew Jin, please go back with us and take a look. If this matter is delayed, it will be troublesome." Boss Shi said.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, although Qian Qianqian was still a little reluctant to leave, he still couldn't ignore this matter.
After thinking for a while, he went to Ma Yi and told him about it.
"Why are you so sloppy?" Ma Yi became very strict when he mentioned the business, "It's not that you don't know how strict the former emperor is in this regard. Nice."
Now that Daning is doing business with other countries, the former emperor has been strict in this aspect, because Daning is indeed short of money. If he is caught tax evasion at this time, he will be killed as an example to others.
"Uncle, please help me find a solution." Qian Qianqian looked at Ma Yi in front of him with a mournful face.
He and Li Mu haven't made it clear yet, and now something like this happened again.
Ma Yi was also troubled, he hadn't figured out a way to get the painting off the wall yet, if he left at this time, when he came back, he didn't know if the painting had been ruined by the green head.
"Uncle..." Qian Qianqian begged, "I really didn't mean it, how could I have thought that the quantity of this product would not match?" Qian Qianqian was also very puzzled by this matter, and he had sent someone to settle it before. Yes, something went wrong all of a sudden.
Ma Yi struggled for a while, but in the end he couldn't bear Qian Qian's begging, and after reprimanding Qian Qian, he decided to set off to go back to see the situation.
Now they just got the news, and the specific situation will not be known until they go back.
"It shouldn't be too late, let's do it today..." Boss Shi saw that the two of them were making moves, so he immediately made arrangements.
"You go down the mountain to arrange horses, and I will go down later." Ma Yi said to Boss Shi next to him.
He was still a little unwilling and worried, so he still had to talk to Li Mu.At least let him put away the painting, don't hang it on the wall and ruin it.
When he walked through the gate of Li Mu's house and saw the painting hanging on the wall, Ma Yi felt very distressed. He wanted Li Mu to return the painting to him, but he said it cheekily, but Li Mu refused to give it at all.
"Can't you afford to lose?" Li Mu looked at the person in front of him quietly, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
Ma Yi was in a hurry, "Then I'll buy it from you! Make a price!"
"Not for sale."
After finishing speaking, Li Mu walked down the mountain. Seeing Li Mu leave, Ma Yi decided to secretly pry the painting and take it away.
But he had already tried it in the morning, and the painting was so tight that even if he wanted to, he couldn't get it off for a moment.
Seeing that Li Mu was about to go far away, Ma Yi quickly chased after him, "Then if you don't give me this painting, can you give me two jars of your wine?"
"Wine?" Li Mu stopped in his tracks.
"It's the peach blossom wine that I drank before." Ma Yi said, when he mentioned this matter, Ma Yi couldn't help but look at Li Mu more. He heard from Master Qin that Li Mu measured this wine himself.
Ma Yi has also drank a lot of wine over the years. There are famous wines and ordinary wines, but this peach blossom wine, made by Li Mu, is indeed a top-grade wine.
Although it's not too long ago so it's not very mellow, but even so, it's enough to make him salivate.
Although Ma Yi is not addicted to alcohol, no one dislikes good things. If he can't take away the paintings, he will take away the wine.
As for this painting, at worst he will come back after this trip.
"No." Li Mu immediately refused.
He had brewed more than 20 jars of this wine before, and after excluding what he drank during this period, there were only a dozen jars left.
"You..." Ma Yi never expected Li Mu to be so stingy, "Then I'll buy it for you."
"It's homemade, it's homemade, it's not for sale." Li Mu still said the same thing.
"Why are you so stingy? How much is your wine worth? Believe it or not, I'll have someone smash it for you?!" Boss Shi immediately became angry when he heard this. He was anxious to take these people away. , As a result, Ma Yi is still exhausted here.
"Shut up, you don't have the right to talk here, get out of here." Ma Yi scolded Boss Shi coldly.
Ma Yi, who was still playing Xiao Jiujiu, was so angry that his stomach hurt when he heard Li Mu's words. He was proud of his horseshoe disease, got his beloved painting, and was about to go home.
As a result, he was tricked by Boss Shi to come here halfway, and lost the painting, not to mention that he hadn't had a drink yet.When he looks at Boss Shi now, it's not pleasing to the eye either horizontally or vertically.
Boss Shi's face was pale. He originally wanted to curry favor with Ma Yi, but now it backfired. How could his face be so good?
Li Mu insisted not to let go, so Ma Yi kept chattering beside him. When Master Qin came up from the mountain, he saw such a scene.
After asking others about what happened, Master Qin looked thoughtfully at Boss Shi next to him.It's just that he has no evidence, just speculation.
After taking some time, Master Qin also bid farewell to Li Mu, "I've been out for a while now, it's time to go back, and just a few adults are going back together, so I will go with them."
Hearing that Master Qin was leaving too, Li Mu finally put down his busy work, "Be careful on the road."
Master Qin nodded. He glanced at Li Mu and said with a smile, "Actually, I came up to the mountain to say goodbye, to tell you something, and to ask you for a pot of wine."
Li Mu doesn't know how this wine is made. Although the taste may not be as good as some famous products, it is indeed mellow.
"I'll give you a pot." Li Mu said straightforwardly.
Of course he is straightforward with Master Qin. Over the years, Master Qin has taken care of him a lot.
Master Qin smiled, thanked him, and then said another thing to Li Mu, "Do you still remember the family surnamed Qi that you asked me to find out for you?"
When Qi Xin's family was mentioned, Li Mu immediately became serious.
"I sent people to inquire before, and found out where they are staying. It seems that they should be in the same group as the people you are looking for, but the situation after that is a bit complicated."
"how?"
"That family was infected with the plague on the way to escape, and now all but the youngest son are dead." Master Qin sighed.
Li Mu was silent, and asked after a while: "Then he is now?"
"According to the inquired information, he should be adopted later, but I haven't found out who adopted him." Master Qin said, "It's hard to investigate what happened back then. With so many people, it is not easy to find them now.”
Li Mu knew that Master Qin was trying to comfort him, so he nodded, a little helpless, but he could only do so.
He is already considered lucky, almost all four of them have been found, and some people spend their whole life trying to find one that they are looking for.
"It's good that you can think about it. I will continue to inquire about this person for you, but it depends on God's will whether you can find a result." Master Qin said.
By the time the two of them finished talking, the sky had already brightened, and the morning sun had already shone into the forest.
Li Mu led Master Qin to the Peach Blossom Forest to dig out the wine he had buried, and gave him a new jar.
Seeing this, Ma Yi, who had been standing by the side, hurried up and wanted to dig an altar away by himself, but was pulled back by Li Mu.
Ma Yi became more and more unwilling when he failed to please him. In the end, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't see it and said a few words, and then Li Mu reluctantly gave him the half of the jug left from drinking at home.
Ma Yi originally wanted to get some more things from Li Mu to relieve his unwillingness, but in the end Li Mu was only given half a pot of wine, and Ma Yi was so angry that he couldn't stop jumping.
Others flattered him, but Li Mu bullied him everywhere.
Ma Yi is angry, but he doesn't dare to provoke Li Mu. After tossing with Li Mu for so long, he has figured out some patterns of Li Mu's character. If he really wants to annoy this person, Li Mu must use his painting to light a fire. cook.
Ma Yi was holding the half jar of wine, his face changed again and again, Qianqian at the side saw that Mr. Qin and Ma Yi both had wine, and asked for it, "They all have it, why don't I have it?"
Among them, Boss Shi, who was ignored by the side, was obviously not included.
Qian Qianqian is not interested in wine, but he is more interested in Li Mu than wine.
But that's what a child thinks about, he has to have it if others have it, and that's how he feels comfortable.
Hearing this, Li Mu turned around and went back to the room. He didn't know where he found half of the pot and stuffed it into his hand, telling him to shut up.
After getting the wine, although there is only half a jug, money is still very happy.
Seeing his nephew's happy expression, Ma Yi on the side felt uncomfortable. He said it was hard to persuade Li Mu to give him half a pot, so how could he get the money all at once?
"Forget about money, why does he have a new pot, but I only have half a pot?" Ma Yi pointed at Master Qin beside him.
Li Mu's black eyes looked at Ma Yi, then at the smiling Master Qin beside him, and said calmly, "The wine is mine."
The wine is his, and he can give it to whoever he wants.
Ma Yi was furious, and argued with Li Mu that he could not win.
Arguing with Li Mu that he couldn't win, Ma Yi didn't want to continue to waste here, so he took half of his own jar of wine and walked down the mountain.
He will come to this place again, because he has to get his painting back, no matter what, he can't let this painting be ruined by Li Mu!
Seeing Ma Yi walking down the mountain, the rest of the people followed suit and prepared to go down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, Ma Yi, who was holding the half jar of wine that he had finally bought, felt more and more unhappy as he walked down the mountain.
Looking at Master Qin beside him who was delighted to get a jug of wine, Ma Yi was a little entangled.
Then look at the money money that is hanging around with half a jug of wine next to him, Ma Yi is more and more entangled.
He deliberately slowed down, allowing himself to walk side by side with Qianqian, "When did you also learn to drink?"
Money Money Eighteen/nine years old is not incapable of drinking, but he is not very interested in these things. Occasionally, if there is a drinking party or something at night, he just means to have a drink or two, which really makes him hug He decided not to drink with this stuff.
"What's the matter?" Qian Qianqian is not interested in wine, although this peach blossom wine looks pretty, but he and Li Mu want this wine purely for fun.
"Since you don't drink, how about you give me this wine?" Ma Yi tempted.
"For you?" Qian Qianqian looked in surprise at Ma Yi who had the cheek to ask him for a drink.Ma Yi usually looks very calm, and he doesn't seem like a person who would do such a thing at all.
Even Qian Qianqian, who loves to play and play, can't help but be a little surprised to see his cheeky appearance now.
"That's right, you don't drink anyway." Ma Yi reached out to get the wine in Qianqian's hand.
The Jin family has a big business, what kind of good things do not exist in his family, how could there be such a pot of peach blossom wine?
Ma Yi saw that his hand had touched the jug, but Qian Qianqian took his hand aside and avoided it, "No."
This wine was given to him by Li Mu, even if he didn't drink it, he could take it and have a look.
"Don't be so stingy." Ma Yi was a little unwilling.
Why does he only have half a jug?And this half pot is so hard to ask for.
"What's stingy? It was given to me by someone else, not mine." Qianqianqian hugged his jug, "Besides, uncle, don't you have half a jug?" Ma Yi who drank.
Seeing that Ma Yi had the cheek to lie to his nephew's wine, Boss Shi couldn't stand it any longer. Then Li Mu is just a villager, so what can he drink with his wine?
"If Mr. Ma likes this peach blossom wine, after I go down the mountain, how about I send someone to find the best peach blossom wine and deliver it to the house myself?" Boss Shi said.
There is nothing in this world that money can't do. As long as he has the best peach blossom wine, he can have as much as he wants.
Ma Yi had the cheek to cheat money and wine with his face as an elder. His old face was already flushed with shame, but now he heard Boss Shi say this again, and he immediately became angry.
If it weren't for Boss Shi, he would have already gone home by now.As a result, now that he lost his painting and couldn't get a good drink when he asked for wine, he had already disliked Boss Shi.
"I want you to be troublesome!" Ma Yi didn't give him a good face at all.
Boss Shi choked on the words of compliment, he was originally kind.
Let Boss Shi shut up, and Ma Yi is too embarrassed to cheat money and wine again.He opened the wine he was holding, carefully sniffed the scent of the bottle mouth, then raised the wine and pointed it at the mouth of the bottle, ready to take a sip.
As a result, after taking this bite, his steps suddenly stopped.
He took a sip of the wine in his mouth, then lowered his head in disbelief, pointed the pot to his mouth, and quickly took two gulps.
After two mouthfuls, he threw the wine jug in his hand on the ground, and it shattered with a snap.
He held the wine in his arms for a long time. Where is the wine? It's just a jug of water!
Ma Yi gritted his teeth, Li Mu, remember it for me!
Completely ignoring the blue veins on Ma Yi's face and his distressed expression, Li Mu handed over the painting tube in front of Zhong Xiuyuan who was covering his mouth and giggling.
Seeing this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitched.
Li Mu didn't realize it at all, on the contrary, he was very calm.
"You..." Boss Shi's face was livid, he wanted to say something to curse, but he didn't know where to start.
To say that Li Mu is mean and shameless, he is a bit mean at the moment, but the rules are what Ma Yi said before.
Besides, catching thieves means catching stolen goods. So many people were watching, but they didn't see the slightest clue.
Everyone had complicated expressions on their faces. Zhong Xiuyuan looked at the painting tube handed to him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Li Mu...
At that moment, his heart gradually melted and became soft when the man in front of him casually raised his head and looked at him.
Li Mu saw that he liked this painting, so he did so.With this knowledge, Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Li Mu's indifferent eyes, and suddenly felt his mouth was dry, his heart was beating like a drum, and his whole body was churning violently.
He stretched out his hand and took the painting tube in Li Mu's hand that seemed to weigh ten thousand catties.
Li Mu handed the painting tube to the person beside him, got up and was about to leave.
Ma Yi, who was quite nervous at first, saw his darling fell into Li Mu's hands like this, and was then transferred to Zhong Xiuyuan by Li Mu, his face twisted tightly.
He really likes this painting!
At the beginning, he fell in love with this painting at a glance. During this period of time, he spent a lot of time talking with the person who collected this painting. Now he finally got this painting back, but it changed hands and changed hands...
Looking at the painting tube that had changed hands, Ma Yi regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
"How about I..." Ma Yi reached out to get the painting tube, but Zhong Xiuyuan didn't look at him at all, but turned around and chased after Li Mu.
Looking at the painting tube that was getting farther and farther away from him, Ma Yi almost cried out.
Seeing this, everyone coughed in embarrassment, turned their faces away, and didn't look at Ma Yi.
Although Ma Yi is quite friendly, he is a tax collector with a high rank.Now that I lost the bet, I still stretched out my hand to get it back. This matter made people look at it, and naturally it made people feel a little embarrassed.
After coughing for a while, everyone dispersed and went on their own.
Holding the painting tube, Zhong Xiuyuan chased Li Mu into his house, and then stood behind him.
In front of him, Li Mu was taking white chess pieces out of his bedroom.
I don't know how he stuffed it into his pocket. After opening his clothes, he took out a lot of chess pieces.
"Thank you." Zhong Xiuyuan spoke quietly.
Li Mu, who was busy, looked back at him, and then at the painting tube he was holding in his hand.
In fact, he doesn't understand what's so good about this thing?It's worth Zhong Xiuyuan's confusion over this matter for the past few days.Thinking of how Zhong Xiuyuan had been getting very close to the man surnamed Ma in the past few days, Li Mu somehow disliked it.
"Is that what you like?" It's just ghosts.
If Zhong Xiuyuan sees the exquisite albums or pictures that he used to see, he must not be blinded.
What's so good about a broken painting?
Li Mu took out the chess pieces slowly, while slandering him.
Zhong Xiuyuan looked down at the painting tube he was holding in his hand. At first he only liked this painting, but now that Li Mu won it back for him, the level of liking is naturally completely different.
"I like it." Don't say that he liked this painting in the first place, even if he didn't like it in the first place, he must like it very much at this moment, "Then Ma has a good eye."
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at the liking on Zhong Xiuyuan's face, and after a while, he said again: "Then hang up."
"Hang?" Zhong Xiuyuan was taken aback.
Many famous paintings are precious, and most collectors choose to keep them carefully, for fear of a little accident, but few of them are actually hung, and their house in the mountain seems not suitable for hanging such things.
After Li Mu took out the chess pieces, he looked up at the room where they lived. Because this room was used to store Zhong Xiuyuan's previous books, there was no room to hang this painting, so Li Mu said, "Let's hang it in the main room."
After hearing Li Mu's words, Zhong Xiuyuan paused, this painting is a famous painting, if it is hung in the main room casually, it will inevitably be a bit...
It is estimated that Li Mu really does not understand these things, so he handles them so casually.
But soon Zhong Xiuyuan was relieved that this painting was nothing more than a painting to him, although it was indeed a masterpiece by a famous artist, but to him, what was more important was Li Mu's intentions.
After Li Mu took out all the chess pieces, he took the painting out, chose a place in the main room, and hung it up.
After hanging up, he nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, and the people who were sitting and playing in the yard have finished clearing the chessboard and are talking.
Boss Shi meant to let Ma Yi go down the mountain with him to live at the bottom of the mountain, but Ma Yi didn't want to leave for a moment.
He lost his painting here, how could he just leave?
After everyone discussed, Boss Shi and others went down the mountain again, and when Ma Yi followed Qian Qian into the main room of their house for dinner, when he found that his painting was actually hung on the wall by Li Mu, Ma Yi's face was full. It turned green immediately.
"Why is this painting here?" Ma Yi didn't care about eating, and hurried to the side to look at the painting hanging on the wall.
This is the main room, not a study area, people come and go here every day, and Li Mu and the others eat in the main room, so the oily smoke is smoky and the wind is blowing this day.
"Oh, I can't help it..." Ma Yi looked at the painting, feeling very distressed, "If this painting hangs, it will be ruined."
Other people's famous paintings are carefully put away as treasures, but the painting that Li Mu just got is hung on the wall after changing hands.
Ma Yi looked at the paintings on the wall, wrinkled his face and kept yelling that he couldn't do it, but Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and served food on the table, ignoring him at all.
Ma Yi chattered by the wall for a while, seeing that Li Mu ignored him at all, he set up a stool, and actually wanted to remove the painting hanging on the wall by himself.But as soon as he stood on this stool, his whole face turned pale with distress.
Because the way Li Mu hung the painting on the wall was with buckles, two wooden nails were buckled on the left and right sides, and the scroll was hung horizontally on it.
In this way, the painting was fastened tightly to the wall, but the wooden buckle made the scroll a little too tight.
"You are ruining it!" Ma Yi only felt that his heart seemed to be tightly entwined by a snake, and it was getting tighter and tighter, so tight that he couldn't breathe.
He stretched out his fingers to try to pry the wooden buckle open, but after trying several times, the wooden buckle was very tight and he couldn't pry it open at all.
Unable to get it off by himself, he turned back to look at Li Mu next to him, only to see that Li Mu had already filled the table with food.
Seeing the oily smoke wafting from the food, Ma Yi almost went mad with anger, "Take out the food, take it out quickly."
This painting is a famous painting, if it is smoked by oily smoke, it must be ruined, right?
After placing all the dishes and chopsticks in the room, Li Mu finally felt in the mood to pay attention to Ma Yi who moved a stool and stood by the wall, trying to pinch the painting he pinned on the wall.
"I think it's pretty good." Li Mu took a look at the seat he had chosen. He chose this spot very well, and he could see it as soon as he entered the door.
"No!" Ma Yi was anxious after hearing this, "The humidity in this mountain is too heavy sooner or later, if you just hang here like this, and the wind blows the oily smoke, this painting will be ruined by you."
"Damn it?" Li Mu repeated, with some doubts in his dark eyes.
"That must not be ruined." Ma Yi was really distressed. He had come to this painting with great difficulty, and he hadn't warmed it in his hands yet.
"If you ruin it, it will ruin me. Why are you in a hurry?" Li Mu sat down in front of the table indifferently, as if Ma Yi, who was stuck to the wall and tried to use his fingers to pick the wooden button he fastened on the wall, as a up the mural.
Ma Yi, who was already distressed and angry, didn't mention Li Mu's words, and almost fell off the stool.
After hearing Li Mu's words and seeing Ma Yi's appearance again, Zhong Manlu covered his mouth and began to laugh.
At this moment, Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly, and he understood somewhat.It's not that Li Mu doesn't understand painting at all, I guess he did it on purpose.
It's just that I don't know where Ma Yi provoked him, so that he made such calculations to bully him. He cheated the painting in the afternoon, and now he is still revenge.
He deliberately wanted to hang this painting on the wall, deliberately wanted to anger Ma Yi, deliberately wanted to see his distressed but disapproving expression on Li Mu.
Zhong Xiuyuan sat down beside Li Mu. He aligned the chopsticks, and then said to Ma Yi who was sticking to the wall: "Master Ma, why don't you come down first, let's eat the food first?"
Qian Qianqian had already brought the bowl, and was looking at his uncle on the wall with chopsticks, with his mouth still full of rice.
His uncle seems to be quite a serious person on weekdays, especially when it comes to some serious matters, he is simply unrecognizable by his relatives. It is the first time that he has been forced to crawl by someone for so many years. on the wall.
"Get the painting down for me first!" Ma Yi was so out of breath that he was almost desperate, he yelled viciously, and then begged with a mournful face, "Even if this painting is not mine, I beg you, okay? "
Ma Yi regretted it now, his guts were turning green. If he had known earlier, he should not have teased Zhong Xiuyuan with this painting, let alone gambled with Li Mu with this painting.
If this painting was ruined like this by Li Mu, he would die of heartache.
Li Mu ignored him completely, took a glass and poured himself wine, and began to eat.
After eating a meal, listening to the wailing of Ma Yi who was being pulled on the wall next to him, Li Mu's meal was extraordinarily delicious.
After Li Mu and the others finished their meal, Qian Qianqian pulled his uncle, forcibly pulled him off the wall, and dragged him to the opposite room of Uncle Hong's house.
Seeing Ma Yi, who was heartbroken and his eyes were scarlet, being dragged away by Qian Qian, Zhong Xiuyuan felt sorry for him inexplicably, "Don't bully him anymore, if you make him cry, Boss Shi will have to tell you urgent."
002.
Li Mu, who had already finished washing and was walking into the house, heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words, looked back at him, and after thinking about it, he decided that the painting should hang for two months.
He originally planned to hang up like this for a day or two, and let Ma Yi die of anger, but now that Zhong Xiuyuan has spoken for him, let's continue to hang up!
Seeing Li Mu go back to the house, Zhong Xiu followed Li Mu into the bedroom, and after closing the door, the three of them took off their coats and lay side by side on the bed.
Originally, Li Mu wanted Yun'er to sleep with Zhong Manlu, but he couldn't sleep at night.Ignoring Yun'er's suggestion to sleep on the floor, Li Mu took him to his room and let him sleep beside him and Zhong Xiuyuan.
Although the bed in his house is quite old, it is quite big. Although it is a bit cramped for three people, it can still fit.
Lying on the bed, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't feel sleepy for a while, after pulling the quilt to cover Yun'er's stomach, Zhong Xiuyuan talked to Li Mu.
"I heard Master Qin said that he seems to be a character, so don't push him too hard." Zhong Xiuyuan reminded.
They had already heard about the specific identity of this person from Yun'er. Although Li Mu had no way of getting along with him now, they still had to be careful in the end.
Li Mu, who was about to go to bed, heard Zhong Xiuyuan's words, and only looked up at him, but was not ready to speak at all.
Zhong Xiuyuan waited for a while, but before Li Mu could answer, he looked at Li Mu in surprise, but saw that Li Mu had already closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He was a little surprised. Although Li Mu seldom talked, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk now.
Li Mu didn't want to talk, why?
Is he angry?
Zhong Xiuyuan was a little puzzled, why did the good Li Mu get angry and ignore him?
"Are you angry?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked.
"No." Li Mu still closed his eyes.
Listening to Li Mu's answer, Zhong Xiuyuan was sure that Li Mu was angry, it wasn't that he didn't hear but he just didn't want to talk to him.
But why?
Zhong Xiuyuan thought carefully about what happened in the afternoon, Li Mu was fine before Li Mu played chess with Na Ma Yi.Li Mu won the chess game, obviously he couldn't be unhappy about it, that's what happened later.
Li Mu doesn't know where he acquired his character of not wanting to suffer, but most of the time he just forgets after revenge, but this time, Ma Yi was repeatedly bullied by him...
Zhong Xiuyuan thought carefully about what happened after the chess game. After a while, his heart beat faster, and an inexplicable heat surged into his heart.
He felt that he had some understanding, but he was also a little uncertain.
Since Li Mu won the chess game, they had dinner within half an hour, and he and Li Mu had only spoken a few words during the period. It was obviously impossible for Ma Yi to provoke Li Mu again, so he did?
But in those few words, he didn't say anything other than Ma Yi's good words.
Before, he heard Master Qin say that Ma Yi is in charge of taxation. Although this person has no direct relationship with them now, if Li Mu plans to expand the business, he will definitely have contact with him, so this paragraph It took time for him to pay more attention to this person.
Zhong Xiuyuan looked at the person in front of him who closed his eyes and meditated, with a smile in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and held Li Mu's hand through Yun'er, "You still don't understand my thoughts?"
He just said a few nice things about Ma Yi, this man...
Looking at Li Mu with his eyes closed and resting his mind at this moment, and thinking about the posture of Ma Yi sticking to the wall before, the smile on Zhong Xiuyuan's face suddenly became wider. This person really makes him fall in love...
Listening to Zhong Xiuyuan's words beside him, Li Mu remained motionless and pretended to be asleep.
Next to him, the same is true for Yun'er, although he is still young and doesn't understand these things very well, but he also knows that what these two people are saying at this moment is the words of adults.
So he lay obediently, motionless, with his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep.
Zhong Xiuyuan said the words, and after waiting for a while without a response, he looked at the two sullen gods in front of him, one big and one small with eyes closed and pretending to be sleeping, and the smile on his face suddenly became wider.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, before dawn, everyone just woke up when they heard a small movement from the main room of their own house.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan quickly put on their clothes and went out, when they saw a person stuck on the wall.
Ma Yi found a stick from nowhere and was sticking it against the wall, trying to pry the button off.
Seeing this sneaky person, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan looked at each other, seeing a bit of speechlessness in each other's eyes.
Zhong Xiuyuan went forward to persuade this person to come down, and after saying a few words, Ma Yi insisted on not coming down, and insisted on asking Li Mu to remove the thing.
Li Mu ignored him, turned around and walked out the door, but when he turned around, his foot accidentally hooked the leg of the chair, and the chair wobbled, scaring the man on the wall with a pale face and hurried down.
After persuading the man down, Li Mu changed his clothes, ignored the man's nagging, and went down the mountain to see his ducks.
At the foot of the mountain, Boss Shi, who was thinking about coming up the mountain, was also very angry after hearing the urgent report from his subordinates.
"Idiot, I can't handle such a trivial matter." Boss Shi never expected that his batch of goods would go wrong at this critical moment.
He brought a batch of goods back from outside before, and said before that it was stuck at the border crossing. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but he only got the news today that the goods were detained.
This smuggling matter can be big or small, if it is thoroughly investigated, it will be found that his net worth is not enough to compensate, and if it is pursued, many people will be involved.
"Boss Shi, what should we do now?" The person who delivered the letter didn't look well.
Some time ago, the checkpoint was very strict at the checkpoint. At that time, they only thought that they would be able to pass the checkpoint smoothly after a while, but they were blocked immediately after they didn't expect it.
"What to do, what to do? Can't you use your own brains besides asking what to do?" Boss Shi was anxious.
The person who came to deliver the letter stood obediently with his hands behind his back, not daring to speak.
The other few people who have been walking back and forth in the room are also dripping with cold sweat at this moment. They all follow Boss Shi to do things, and they have invested a lot in this matter. If this guy is really investigated, then they It will be a big loss, and even worse, you will even be arrested.
"Boss Shi, you should hurry up and come up with an idea. If this is found out, all of us will be overwhelmed." The more anxious and chaotic, now the minds of several people have gone blank and they can't think of a way out.
Boss Shi opened his mouth and wanted to curse people, but in the current situation, he didn't have the heart to deal with these people at all, the most urgent thing was to get that batch of goods out for him.
After pondering for a while, Boss Shi called the messenger over and whispered in his ear.
After explaining to him and telling him to go back quickly to spread the news, he himself changed his clothes, went out, and rushed up the mountain.
After going up the mountain, Boss Shi's face was so pale that he found the money, and when they met, he hurriedly said: "It's not good, something happened!"
Qian Qianqian was currently comforting his crying uncle Ma Yi, when he saw Boss Shi coming in the morning with a pale face, he frowned, "What's wrong with you again?"
"It's not that something happened to me, but something happened to you, Nephew Jin!" Boss Shi avoided Ma Yi and went to the side to talk, holding the money, "Do you remember the batch of goods that were brought back from outside? I just Got the news, the goods were checked."
"What?" Qian Qianqian immediately frowned.
The Jin family's business is very big, and there is naturally a lot of business with outsiders. Not long before he came here, a batch of goods was sent here.
He went through formal channels for that batch of goods, and all the procedures were complete, so how could he be detained all of a sudden?
"This..." Boss Shi showed hesitation.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart quickly if you have something to say." Qian Qianqian is the most impatient of this person.
"There is a difference in the tax. The tax paid and the quantity of the goods are not right, so..." Boss Shi said.
Although the Jin family has always used formal channels, the people who handle the affairs are all from the lower ranks, and no one can guarantee that there are mistakes.
Boss Shi simply counted his own batch of goods into the Jin family's batch of goods. Fortunately, the two batches of goods were originally the same thing, otherwise he really has no choice now.
"How could this happen?" Qianqian was annoyed, if the tax point and the goods were not matched, it would be tax evasion, and it would be a serious matter if it was investigated.
"So nephew Jin, please go back with us and take a look. If this matter is delayed, it will be troublesome." Boss Shi said.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, although Qian Qianqian was still a little reluctant to leave, he still couldn't ignore this matter.
After thinking for a while, he went to Ma Yi and told him about it.
"Why are you so sloppy?" Ma Yi became very strict when he mentioned the business, "It's not that you don't know how strict the former emperor is in this regard. Nice."
Now that Daning is doing business with other countries, the former emperor has been strict in this aspect, because Daning is indeed short of money. If he is caught tax evasion at this time, he will be killed as an example to others.
"Uncle, please help me find a solution." Qian Qianqian looked at Ma Yi in front of him with a mournful face.
He and Li Mu haven't made it clear yet, and now something like this happened again.
Ma Yi was also troubled, he hadn't figured out a way to get the painting off the wall yet, if he left at this time, when he came back, he didn't know if the painting had been ruined by the green head.
"Uncle..." Qian Qianqian begged, "I really didn't mean it, how could I have thought that the quantity of this product would not match?" Qian Qianqian was also very puzzled by this matter, and he had sent someone to settle it before. Yes, something went wrong all of a sudden.
Ma Yi struggled for a while, but in the end he couldn't bear Qian Qian's begging, and after reprimanding Qian Qian, he decided to set off to go back to see the situation.
Now they just got the news, and the specific situation will not be known until they go back.
"It shouldn't be too late, let's do it today..." Boss Shi saw that the two of them were making moves, so he immediately made arrangements.
"You go down the mountain to arrange horses, and I will go down later." Ma Yi said to Boss Shi next to him.
He was still a little unwilling and worried, so he still had to talk to Li Mu.At least let him put away the painting, don't hang it on the wall and ruin it.
When he walked through the gate of Li Mu's house and saw the painting hanging on the wall, Ma Yi felt very distressed. He wanted Li Mu to return the painting to him, but he said it cheekily, but Li Mu refused to give it at all.
"Can't you afford to lose?" Li Mu looked at the person in front of him quietly, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.
Ma Yi was in a hurry, "Then I'll buy it from you! Make a price!"
"Not for sale."
After finishing speaking, Li Mu walked down the mountain. Seeing Li Mu leave, Ma Yi decided to secretly pry the painting and take it away.
But he had already tried it in the morning, and the painting was so tight that even if he wanted to, he couldn't get it off for a moment.
Seeing that Li Mu was about to go far away, Ma Yi quickly chased after him, "Then if you don't give me this painting, can you give me two jars of your wine?"
"Wine?" Li Mu stopped in his tracks.
"It's the peach blossom wine that I drank before." Ma Yi said, when he mentioned this matter, Ma Yi couldn't help but look at Li Mu more. He heard from Master Qin that Li Mu measured this wine himself.
Ma Yi has also drank a lot of wine over the years. There are famous wines and ordinary wines, but this peach blossom wine, made by Li Mu, is indeed a top-grade wine.
Although it's not too long ago so it's not very mellow, but even so, it's enough to make him salivate.
Although Ma Yi is not addicted to alcohol, no one dislikes good things. If he can't take away the paintings, he will take away the wine.
As for this painting, at worst he will come back after this trip.
"No." Li Mu immediately refused.
He had brewed more than 20 jars of this wine before, and after excluding what he drank during this period, there were only a dozen jars left.
"You..." Ma Yi never expected Li Mu to be so stingy, "Then I'll buy it for you."
"It's homemade, it's homemade, it's not for sale." Li Mu still said the same thing.
"Why are you so stingy? How much is your wine worth? Believe it or not, I'll have someone smash it for you?!" Boss Shi immediately became angry when he heard this. He was anxious to take these people away. , As a result, Ma Yi is still exhausted here.
"Shut up, you don't have the right to talk here, get out of here." Ma Yi scolded Boss Shi coldly.
Ma Yi, who was still playing Xiao Jiujiu, was so angry that his stomach hurt when he heard Li Mu's words. He was proud of his horseshoe disease, got his beloved painting, and was about to go home.
As a result, he was tricked by Boss Shi to come here halfway, and lost the painting, not to mention that he hadn't had a drink yet.When he looks at Boss Shi now, it's not pleasing to the eye either horizontally or vertically.
Boss Shi's face was pale. He originally wanted to curry favor with Ma Yi, but now it backfired. How could his face be so good?
Li Mu insisted not to let go, so Ma Yi kept chattering beside him. When Master Qin came up from the mountain, he saw such a scene.
After asking others about what happened, Master Qin looked thoughtfully at Boss Shi next to him.It's just that he has no evidence, just speculation.
After taking some time, Master Qin also bid farewell to Li Mu, "I've been out for a while now, it's time to go back, and just a few adults are going back together, so I will go with them."
Hearing that Master Qin was leaving too, Li Mu finally put down his busy work, "Be careful on the road."
Master Qin nodded. He glanced at Li Mu and said with a smile, "Actually, I came up to the mountain to say goodbye, to tell you something, and to ask you for a pot of wine."
Li Mu doesn't know how this wine is made. Although the taste may not be as good as some famous products, it is indeed mellow.
"I'll give you a pot." Li Mu said straightforwardly.
Of course he is straightforward with Master Qin. Over the years, Master Qin has taken care of him a lot.
Master Qin smiled, thanked him, and then said another thing to Li Mu, "Do you still remember the family surnamed Qi that you asked me to find out for you?"
When Qi Xin's family was mentioned, Li Mu immediately became serious.
"I sent people to inquire before, and found out where they are staying. It seems that they should be in the same group as the people you are looking for, but the situation after that is a bit complicated."
"how?"
"That family was infected with the plague on the way to escape, and now all but the youngest son are dead." Master Qin sighed.
Li Mu was silent, and asked after a while: "Then he is now?"
"According to the inquired information, he should be adopted later, but I haven't found out who adopted him." Master Qin said, "It's hard to investigate what happened back then. With so many people, it is not easy to find them now.”
Li Mu knew that Master Qin was trying to comfort him, so he nodded, a little helpless, but he could only do so.
He is already considered lucky, almost all four of them have been found, and some people spend their whole life trying to find one that they are looking for.
"It's good that you can think about it. I will continue to inquire about this person for you, but it depends on God's will whether you can find a result." Master Qin said.
By the time the two of them finished talking, the sky had already brightened, and the morning sun had already shone into the forest.
Li Mu led Master Qin to the Peach Blossom Forest to dig out the wine he had buried, and gave him a new jar.
Seeing this, Ma Yi, who had been standing by the side, hurried up and wanted to dig an altar away by himself, but was pulled back by Li Mu.
Ma Yi became more and more unwilling when he failed to please him. In the end, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't see it and said a few words, and then Li Mu reluctantly gave him the half of the jug left from drinking at home.
Ma Yi originally wanted to get some more things from Li Mu to relieve his unwillingness, but in the end Li Mu was only given half a pot of wine, and Ma Yi was so angry that he couldn't stop jumping.
Others flattered him, but Li Mu bullied him everywhere.
Ma Yi is angry, but he doesn't dare to provoke Li Mu. After tossing with Li Mu for so long, he has figured out some patterns of Li Mu's character. If he really wants to annoy this person, Li Mu must use his painting to light a fire. cook.
Ma Yi was holding the half jar of wine, his face changed again and again, Qianqian at the side saw that Mr. Qin and Ma Yi both had wine, and asked for it, "They all have it, why don't I have it?"
Among them, Boss Shi, who was ignored by the side, was obviously not included.
Qian Qianqian is not interested in wine, but he is more interested in Li Mu than wine.
But that's what a child thinks about, he has to have it if others have it, and that's how he feels comfortable.
Hearing this, Li Mu turned around and went back to the room. He didn't know where he found half of the pot and stuffed it into his hand, telling him to shut up.
After getting the wine, although there is only half a jug, money is still very happy.
Seeing his nephew's happy expression, Ma Yi on the side felt uncomfortable. He said it was hard to persuade Li Mu to give him half a pot, so how could he get the money all at once?
"Forget about money, why does he have a new pot, but I only have half a pot?" Ma Yi pointed at Master Qin beside him.
Li Mu's black eyes looked at Ma Yi, then at the smiling Master Qin beside him, and said calmly, "The wine is mine."
The wine is his, and he can give it to whoever he wants.
Ma Yi was furious, and argued with Li Mu that he could not win.
Arguing with Li Mu that he couldn't win, Ma Yi didn't want to continue to waste here, so he took half of his own jar of wine and walked down the mountain.
He will come to this place again, because he has to get his painting back, no matter what, he can't let this painting be ruined by Li Mu!
Seeing Ma Yi walking down the mountain, the rest of the people followed suit and prepared to go down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, Ma Yi, who was holding the half jar of wine that he had finally bought, felt more and more unhappy as he walked down the mountain.
Looking at Master Qin beside him who was delighted to get a jug of wine, Ma Yi was a little entangled.
Then look at the money money that is hanging around with half a jug of wine next to him, Ma Yi is more and more entangled.
He deliberately slowed down, allowing himself to walk side by side with Qianqian, "When did you also learn to drink?"
Money Money Eighteen/nine years old is not incapable of drinking, but he is not very interested in these things. Occasionally, if there is a drinking party or something at night, he just means to have a drink or two, which really makes him hug He decided not to drink with this stuff.
"What's the matter?" Qian Qianqian is not interested in wine, although this peach blossom wine looks pretty, but he and Li Mu want this wine purely for fun.
"Since you don't drink, how about you give me this wine?" Ma Yi tempted.
"For you?" Qian Qianqian looked in surprise at Ma Yi who had the cheek to ask him for a drink.Ma Yi usually looks very calm, and he doesn't seem like a person who would do such a thing at all.
Even Qian Qianqian, who loves to play and play, can't help but be a little surprised to see his cheeky appearance now.
"That's right, you don't drink anyway." Ma Yi reached out to get the wine in Qianqian's hand.
The Jin family has a big business, what kind of good things do not exist in his family, how could there be such a pot of peach blossom wine?
Ma Yi saw that his hand had touched the jug, but Qian Qianqian took his hand aside and avoided it, "No."
This wine was given to him by Li Mu, even if he didn't drink it, he could take it and have a look.
"Don't be so stingy." Ma Yi was a little unwilling.
Why does he only have half a jug?And this half pot is so hard to ask for.
"What's stingy? It was given to me by someone else, not mine." Qianqianqian hugged his jug, "Besides, uncle, don't you have half a jug?" Ma Yi who drank.
Seeing that Ma Yi had the cheek to lie to his nephew's wine, Boss Shi couldn't stand it any longer. Then Li Mu is just a villager, so what can he drink with his wine?
"If Mr. Ma likes this peach blossom wine, after I go down the mountain, how about I send someone to find the best peach blossom wine and deliver it to the house myself?" Boss Shi said.
There is nothing in this world that money can't do. As long as he has the best peach blossom wine, he can have as much as he wants.
Ma Yi had the cheek to cheat money and wine with his face as an elder. His old face was already flushed with shame, but now he heard Boss Shi say this again, and he immediately became angry.
If it weren't for Boss Shi, he would have already gone home by now.As a result, now that he lost his painting and couldn't get a good drink when he asked for wine, he had already disliked Boss Shi.
"I want you to be troublesome!" Ma Yi didn't give him a good face at all.
Boss Shi choked on the words of compliment, he was originally kind.
Let Boss Shi shut up, and Ma Yi is too embarrassed to cheat money and wine again.He opened the wine he was holding, carefully sniffed the scent of the bottle mouth, then raised the wine and pointed it at the mouth of the bottle, ready to take a sip.
As a result, after taking this bite, his steps suddenly stopped.
He took a sip of the wine in his mouth, then lowered his head in disbelief, pointed the pot to his mouth, and quickly took two gulps.
After two mouthfuls, he threw the wine jug in his hand on the ground, and it shattered with a snap.
He held the wine in his arms for a long time. Where is the wine? It's just a jug of water!
Ma Yi gritted his teeth, Li Mu, remember it for me!
