"How can we get so much money if we don't steal? But our family only does business, and other things have nothing to do with us."
"Meng Dawang's behavior was also taught by the people in Dafang themselves."
"That's right." Meng Wu also felt it was a bit ironic, and from now on he would just pretend he didn't know.
When Meng Li was halfway to Xihe Village, she saw Meng Dawang walking into the nearby forest from a distance.
It seems that I need to eat enough before going home.
The wall was visible to the naked eye and was much higher. Meng Li exchanged greetings with Master Wu. She didn't ask, so Master Wu told him what had happened in the past two days.
no problem.
Look at the craftsmen, exposed to the scorching sun, everyone is sweating, but they are gritting their teeth and persisting, and no one is relaxing.
Meng Li thought for a while, then went to the well in the middle of the yard and changed the water in it to the water of the spiritual spring.
She scooped it up, took a sip, and said to Master Wu, "This water tastes better than before. I feel much better after drinking it. Master Wu, please try it."
Master Wu thought that it was just water, used to quench thirst. How could it have such an effect?
But after Meng Li said this, he couldn't help her.
After taking a sip, I felt that the well water was clear, sweet, cool, and had a faint fragrance.
Moreover, the feeling of limbs and bones that were a little weak due to the sun, and a somewhat dizzy brain, completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of powerful energy and wakefulness.
Master Wu couldn't believe it. He took another sip and felt even more energetic.
"This water, ah, is so magical. It can't be fairy water from the sky." Master Wu exclaimed.
Meng Li smiled: "Where is the fairy water? It may be that the water at the bottom of the well has changed its flow and replaced it with another stream of water."
Master Wu waved to the busy craftsmen: "Everyone, stop being busy now and come and take a sip of water. It will make you stronger."
The craftsmen happened to take a break while drinking water and came over one after another.
Master Wu brought out a large bucket of water.
The craftsmen drank from the bowls and felt the changes all over their bodies. Their eyes lit up and their faces were filled with disbelief.
"This water seemed ordinary before I drank it, but why did it have such an effect today?"
"Yeah, I'm not tired at all, not hot anymore, and very comfortable."
"If you drink this kind of water every day, you can finish this job in two months."
Meng Li also wanted to build the house quickly. The labor was calculated based on the number of days, which could also save some labor.
She said: "The water under the ground has changed its flow direction, and generally it will not change easily again."
"I hope that just like Miss Meng said, if we drink this water every day, your family can live in a new house soon."
One craftsman joked.
Everyone laughed and said, yes, yes.
A craftsman was thinking that if he could pick up two buckets of such good well water when he returned home, the patients at home would feel better after drinking it.
At this time, Lu Mu stepped into the private room of a restaurant.
Qingsong had been waiting inside for a long time, and as soon as he saw someone, he handed over the two letters in his hand.
"One letter was written by the Governor of Sichuan County. Hearing that we were going to sell salt to someone else, he immediately became anxious and was willing to buy it at the price set earlier. The amount currently needed was determined in the letter. In a few days, we will transport the salt. The people are here."
"One is a letter from General Bai Ying. After drinking fine wine, General Bai Yun is willing to work hard for the young master. He also said that he would find an opportunity and persuade General Zhennan."
Lu Mu scanned two letters, which were probably what Qingsong said.
"Sir, about selling salt, why don't you continue to look for the next one to get more sales?"
"No need." Lu Mu said: "Although Mr. Yan is greedy for money, he is tight-lipped and meticulous in his actions. Once such things are leaked, it will be difficult for the Tian family to explain, and it will bring trouble to the Fu family and the second room of the Meng family."
The Fu family was okay and could handle it, but the second room of the Meng family was basically wiped out.
The reason why he wants to sell salt for Meng Li is not only for himself, but also for her safety.
"Young Master is still thoughtful. Salt is a matter of national importance. We must be careful."
Qingsong lowered his voice: "When we cooperate more and more closely in the future, we will have Master Yan in our hands, and it will be much more convenient to gain the support of the entire Sichuan County."
Lu Mu had exactly this in mind. The more Master Yan made from him, the more obedient he became.
"Bai Ying, send two more bottles of wine over and ask him to give them to General Zhennan."
Qingsong looked at Lu Mu's hand and said, "Young master didn't bring any wine. I'd rather ask my subordinates to wait here for a while."
"You go do things first, and I'll find you when I ask you to go."
After dinner in the evening, Meng Li soaked her feet in the room.
She was lying on a recliner, eyes closed, and her mind wandering in space.
Some herbs were far away, so she worked hard to water them.
The feet were soaked warm and very comfortable.
Meng Li hummed leisurely.
When the water felt a little cold, she opened her eyes and saw Lu Mu standing in front of her.
There was no expression on his face, and the breath on his body was always cool.
Meng Li was slightly startled. She was wondering if the water started to cool down because of Lu Mu.
"What, it's something."
When Lu Mu saw it, he knew that Meng Li was scared by him. Is he that scary?
Suddenly I felt a little unhappy.
"I'll lend you two bottles of Maotai."
Borrow, this word almost made Meng Li laugh.
"Lu Mu, you must have had a seizure. Borrow something from me. What husband would say that?"
Lu Mu's face looked a little better: "I want two bottles of Maotai."
"Then do one thing for me."
Lu Mu thought, are they going to have such a naked exchange now? I felt a little annoyed.
"You tell me."
Meng Li picked up the water in the basin with her feet: "The water is cold, give me something hot to drink."
The man's tense expression relaxed again. When he came in with a basin of hot water, there were already two bottles of Maotai beside Meng Li.
"Just tell me what you want, and if you continue to be polite to me, I will ignore you for the rest of my life." Meng Li rolled her eyes and looked at the sky.
"Yeah." Lu Mu didn't look at the two bottles of Maotai, but looked at the pair of feet through the sparkling water.
Meng Li's feet were small, white and slender. Many nights, these feet rested on his body or clamped around his waist.
Sometimes, he would hold it vaguely——
It's cool, soft, and very comfortable.
Before Meng Li noticed it, the man walked out of the room carrying the Maotai gift box.
Meng Li thought that men should use these things to manage relationships.
Even in modern times, Moutai is a very solemn greeting gift, let alone in ancient times when there was not much good wine.
Her tea and wine can accomplish many things.
Lu Mu silently guards this family and contributes to this family. If it is useful to him, it can be regarded as her repayment to him.
That word borrowed came to mind again. Meng Li frowned and kicked the water with her foot.
The craftsman actually did as he was told and carried two buckets of water home. When he arrived at the construction site the next day, he announced to everyone that his mother, who was bedridden and had been in need of care, was able to get out of bed and walk.
"Is it really that magical?" Some people didn't believe it.
