On the day when Li Mu went to see Ya Zi recommended by Lin Shusheng, Xia He must follow behind him.

Making a gesture of beating someone, Xia He said: "In case he tries to harm you, I can still beat him up and take you away. If I'm not here, can you escape?"

It's not that Xia He looks down on Li Mu, but in terms of strength, Li Mu is really inferior to Xia He.Hearing Xia He's remarks, Li Mu nodded dumbfoundingly: "Come on."

When he arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet, Lin Shusheng saw Xia He and asked, "This is..."

Li Mudao said: "It is Zhuojing."

Lin Shusheng was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized.Although there are very few men who marry men nowadays, they have more or less met several of them. What's more, Tan Hualang, who took the test last time, is a man's wife from another family. Xia He greeted her: "Hello Madam Sister-in-law."

Xia He felt awkward, ever since Aunt Lin stopped calling "Ma'am", no one has called him this way of addressing a woman for a long time.He originally wanted to be polite to Lin Shusheng and just call him by his name, but then he felt that calling him by his name seemed too intimate.Not knowing how to answer, Xia He looked at Li Mu for help.

Li Mu just smiled, patted his hand reassuringly, and went to see Yazi politely with Lin Shusheng.

The Yazi introduced by Lin Shusheng was a cheerful middle-aged man, very friendly, and he had a lot of yards for rent and sale. After listening to Li Mu's request, he chose a few similar ones and introduced them one by one.After discussing with Xia He, Li Mu chose one and said he wanted to take a look.

The courtyard is small, but there are only two houses, and there are no bad people in the surrounding area, and there is a stable to park the Li family's carriage.Xia He turned around, then went to talk to the neighbors, and after asking what they did for a living, she whispered to Li Mu: "Except for being expensive, they are all pretty good."

Xia He absolutely disliked Liang Jing's asking price, whether it was food, drink or accommodation, they were all staggeringly expensive.At the beginning, he thought that Qingyang was already too expensive, but he didn't expect Liang Jing to be even more expensive. Now he can't wait to yell on the street, show the corn he brought to everyone, find someone who can turn to him early, and go to see the emperor's old man early , and get out of here quickly.

Li Mu replied to him in a low voice, saying: "It's not that I haven't gone to a dental shop myself, the price offered here is already very fair, why don't I settle here."

The two of them didn't have much luggage, so they quickly signed the deed, paid the money, and moved in with their luggage.Xia He was busy cleaning, while Li Mu invited Lin Shusheng to sit down for a while, and the two chatted for a while.

After doing this, Li Mu's trust in Lin Shusheng increased by three points, so he asked him about Liang Jing's current situation openly and secretly.I don't know if it's because the outsiders nowadays are very curious about the son of the virtuous king, but this Scholar Lin didn't realize Li Mu's ulterior motives, and even teased a few words, saying that the son of the king and Li Mu couldn't tell. If they can make friends, after all, they are all married to men and wives.

Li Mu didn't answer this sentence, but just smiled.

This evening, Xia He cooked two side dishes, leaving Scholar Lin to eat.The flavors of other places made Lin Shusheng, who had never been out of Liang Jing, a taste of novelty, and praised Xia He well.

After sending Lin Shusheng away, Xia He asked curiously, "What did you find out?"

Li Musi stood up for a moment, then smiled and said: "If it is possible, let's go to the son of the virtuous king."

"The one who made His Majesty change the law?" Xia He asked.

"Exactly." Li Mu nodded, "This person acts unruly, bold and willful, maybe he has the guts to take you to the palace."

"Then let's go look for him at his house tomorrow!" Xia He nodded fiercely.

Li Mu smiled and said: "It's so easy, even in our Raonan, if you want to meet someone, you have to pass several barriers? What's more, where these dignitaries live, idlers are not allowed to approach at will, we want to see him , afraid to think of another way.”

Xia He scratched his head and said, "Then he will go out? Let's wait for him to go out?"

"...Let's inquire again, and ask where the elder son often goes." Li Mu finalized, secretly still worried, I am afraid that such a person, even if he went out, he would have to bring a lot of people with him. , may not be able to accommodate people close.

But it never occurred to him that there is another village in the shade of the willows, and Li Musi couldn't think of a good way after much deliberation. In the end, by accident, the two really bumped into the son of the virtuous king.

There are still ten days before the country test, and it has been more than half a month since the two arrived in Liangjing. Li Mu and Xia He, who have not figured out a good way, are at a loss.

They did inquire about the places that the elder son often visited, and they heard that they were all shops under the name of the elder son, and they sold new gadgets that could not be seen in Raonan.One of them happened to be very close to the small courtyard they rented, so the two of them looked at the elder son from a distance.

It's just that as Li Mu expected, Shizi came here by car, and there were people around him, even if the two of them ran, they might not be able to catch up, let alone strike up a conversation.

Li Mu has been worrying about this time, but Xia He still remembers to urge Li Mu to study - he said solemnly: "Maybe the old emperor will ascend to heaven in these ten days, if that happens, you will end up next year, Where is the time to think about anything else now? Leave this to me."

Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry: "How could it be such a coincidence?"

Xia He now wished the old emperor would die sooner, and muttered, "Who knows."

The two were talking at home, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Whether it is Xia He or Li Mu, there are very few people who have met in Liang Jing.Li Mu knew a few scholars, they all went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and now they are all busy with the exam ten days later.Xia He has a good relationship with his neighbors, but the people here in Liang Jing are struggling to make ends meet, leaving early and returning late every day, Xia He doesn't think that they will be able to spare time to come to the house at this time.

Unable to figure out who would be calling the door, Xia He said, "Let's go and have a look together."

Li Mu was also wondering, so he nodded.As soon as the door was opened, a thin middle-aged man stood outside the door, followed by several strong men.

When Xia He saw the three strong men, he thought about stopping Li Mu behind him.

Li Mu unobtrusively stopped Xia He's hand that was about to block him, and asked, "Excuse me, are you..."

"Master Tang." The man called out.

Li Mu then understood who sent this person.

Li Mu's guide to Liangjing and the deed for renting this house both had his name written on it. If he wanted to, his uncle would indeed be able to find out where he is now.Xia He didn't think about this, but his eyes widened, and he thought to himself, how capable is Uncle Li Muna now, to find the two of them in such a big city of Liang Jing?

Xia He was in a panic, but Li Mu was still unhurried, asking the other party why he came here.But in the steward's reply, he was accusing Li Mu of being ignorant overtly and secretly. He came all the way to Liang Jing and didn't go to greet his uncle.Hearing this, Xia He felt a little awkward, and frowned.

The steward's brows were even tighter than Xia He's, and he pointed his nostrils at Xia He, his disdain was undisguised.

Li Mu thought to himself, he had heard that most of the servants in his uncle's house were brought by his aunt from home, probably they were all high-sighted and looked down on his good uncle's relatives in the countryside.I don't know how his uncle can really live comfortably after being trapped among these people for so many years?There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Li Mu's mouth, but he didn't show it on his face, and said, "Please tell uncle the person in charge, he should understand what I mean and why I won't visit his old man."

"Master Tang, the master is always thinking of you, is this how you repay him?" The person in charge actually raised his voice, he really didn't know who was the master and who was the servant, "Today, the young one can't live up to the master's expectations. , if there is any offence, please forgive me, Young Master Tang."

After saying this, Xia He's heart tightened, and he glanced at the three strong men behind the man. Sure enough, this guy, who came to invite someone as a guest and brought a strong servant, did not have good intentions!

Li Mu didn't have time to think, and changed his words: "Okay."

Xia He, who was about to grab Li Mu and run away: "..." looked at Li Mu in confusion.

"Please allow me to lock the door first." Li Mu said yes, after all, he really closed the door.

The person in charge seemed to be quite satisfied with Li Mu's understanding of current affairs, and this time he gave a rare smile: "Master Tang, please."

Xia He wanted to open his mouth, but Li Mu held his hand.

Li Mu specially used his body to cover the hands that were held together by the two of them, and squeezed.Xia He suddenly understood what Li Mu was thinking, thinking that he must have other plans.

The chariots and horses of Li Tonghe's family were parked at the entrance of the alley, which was facing a rather lively street.When the manager was about to invite two people to get into the car, Li Mu opened his mouth and said, "Xia He, look, there is a snack shop over there."

Xia He was in a hurry, why did you suddenly talk about desserts, Brother Mu?Li Mu winked, Xia He finally understood, put on an innocent look, and said: "Brother Mu, it's the first time I go back to your uncle's house, let's buy some snacks to take with me."

The person in charge was a little impatient, but there were so many people coming and going on the street, it was not easy for him to drag people into the car by force.

Li Mu took Xia He to the dim sum stall, ignoring what the person behind him was saying that the master might not like these things, but if Master Tang just passed by, he would weigh some and look at the more At the stall in the distance, he said to Xia He: "There is a cloth seller over there. I heard that I have a cousin. It's the first time we meet. I should bring her some."

The steward's face was almost wrinkled.

Just as she was about to call the people behind her to come up, suddenly Xia He seemed to have seen something, grabbed Li Mu and started running.

The manager was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Catch up, don't get lost."

Xia He raised his voice and shouted without hesitation: "Help!" While shouting, he dragged Li Mu and chased after a carriage that just passed by not far away.

The carriage was exactly the one the two of them had seen not long ago, and it belonged to Prince Xian's mansion.
