Although Sun Helian didn't fight for Su Jinxi last night, he didn't stay idle, they all stayed in the drunken red mansion for one night, and a few people came out of their respective rooms early in the morning, drinking tea in the lobby downstairs, and when they saw Li Shan also coming out of the room, they couldn't help but smile together, Sun Helian was calm, it seemed that he didn't take Su Jinxi to heart, and came over to hug Li Shan's shoulder and said, "Brother Li did ** last night?" Seeing that Brother Li is very good-looking, presumably this Oiran's red pill is very nurturing! ”

Just as they were talking, these people saw Su Jinxi dressed in plain clothes and walked down from the third floor with a burden on her back, first saluting a few people one by one and then saying to Li Shan: "Son, Jinxi has already packed up, let's go." As soon as these words came out, these people were going crazy, and Sun Helian stammered a little: "Li, Brother Li, what did she say?" Li Shan smiled indifferently and said, "I have already helped her redeem herself, and she will be my person from today on." ”

Sun Helian was a little incredulous and said: "How is this possible, I know the ransom price of Miss Jinxi, how did you come up with so much money." Li Shan felt that it was difficult to explain this, so he pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "Only you can't think of it, Li Shan can't do it without me." I won't tell you, just guess slowly. ”

Several people dispersed, and Li Shan took Su Jinxi home. Mother Li is doing needlework at home, and now she doesn't have to go to the restaurant, just do some needlework at home, but she is also comfortable. Seeing that Li Shan brought back a big living person like a flower and jade, Li's mother was also very surprised. Su Jinxi knew that this was Li Shan's mother, and said very respectfully: "Su Jinxi has seen the old lady. Li Shan did not shy away from it, and directly explained to Li's mother: "Jinxi is the Oiran of the Drunken Red Mansion, and the child likes it very much, so he directly redeemed her and brought her back." ”

Mother Li knew that this was a big expense for the Oiran, and she was very curious where Li Shan got such a large sum of money. He was quite dissatisfied with Li Shan's approach, and said angrily: "You just opened the restaurant, and you don't know how many places to use silver in the future, so you just spent the silver so casually?" Saying that, he was going to hit Li Shan. Li Shan knew that this matter was really difficult to understand, so he hurriedly said it all without reservation, and also explained the stakes clearly.

After listening to Li Shan's explanation, Mother Li didn't speak for a long time, and finally only said: "Since you have thought clearly, my mother naturally has no objection to you, and it just so happens that you are not young, although you have not yet married, it is still okay to take a concubine." I see that this Su Jinxi looks and has a good temperament, so I will accept it as a concubine and give you a crown salute in a few days. You're walking outside a lot now, and you don't have a word or a word. ”

Li Shan settled Su Jinxi and went to the mansion of Lord Thorn Shi, and was greeting Lu Boyan on the way, Li Shan looked at Lu Boyan who came from Pegasus and said: "Brother Lu, why are you in such a hurry, didn't I let you wait in the Thorn Shi Mansion, and I won't not come." Lu Boyan smiled bitterly: "My uncle is an anxious man, I just got there and drove me out before I sat down, saying that I must take you over in person." Let's go, Brother Li, it's too late for my uncle to say that I'm procrastinating. ”

Li Shan and the others hurried to the Assassin's Mansion, and it was naturally much more convenient to have Lu Boyan to lead the way, and they went directly to Lu Jiuyuan's study. Lu Jiuyuan was handling official business, and the two of his subordinates were reporting to work. One of them said: "The calculation of the repair work of the embankment is almost complete, but the budget is a little tight. Our treasury could not support the completion of the restoration work, and a budget for the number of hired workers came out, with a total of 73 river workers at 20 wen per day for 30 days, and 14 lumberjacks for 30 wen per day for 20 days. Lu Jiuyuan frowned when he heard this, and said, "How much does this cost in total, do you want me to calculate this for you?" Another person explained: "Because Mr. Guan Mingshu has been seriously ill and taken leave for the past two days, this last item has not yet been settled, and Lord Assassin Shi forgives me." ”

Li Shan looked at it, this is a primary school multiplication problem, such a simple question has to be calculated by a special person, but also, the ancient people's imperial examinations were mainly based on poetry and songs, and subjects like Ming arithmetic were basically not tested, and it is no wonder that China will lag behind the West so much later.

Li Shanxin calculated for a while, took a step forward and said, "Lord Lu, this budget is a total of 54,600 Wen. Lu Jiuyuan was very surprised when he heard this: "The virtuous nephew can calculate this cost just by listening to it?" The virtuous nephew can't be joking about this. Of course, Li Shan was very confident, and said: "Lord Lu can use the other budget amounts before to verify whether he has the ability to do so." Lu Jiuyuan asked the man to report the other amounts for Li Shan to calculate one by one, and sure enough, none of them were bad, Lu Jiuyuan smiled: "The virtuous nephew really surprised the official again." I don't know how much talent you still have to show. ”

Li Shan arched his hand and said: "Lord Lu praised it falsely, I just happen to know some arithmetic methods." I'll go and prescribe medicine for Ling Gongzi. Lu Jiuyuan obviously didn't have much interest in arithmetic, and heard Li Shan say this: "Yes, yes, it just so happens that I have also dealt with this matter, you come with me." Lu Boyan had already slipped away after the task was completed, leaving Li Shan alone and following Lu Jiuyuan to the backyard. The little boy was playing, and Li Shan said: "I have already seen the condition of the little boy, but I still have to ask the medical officer a few questions before I can prescribe medicine with confidence." ”

Li Shan learned from the medical officer that Xiao Gongzi's symptoms are generally chest tightness and shortness of breath, wheezing in the throat, inability to lie flat, phlegm thick and yellow, hot face, thirst and cold drinks, dry or constipated stool, yellow urine, thin yellow or yellow greasy tongue, slippery pulse, etc., the standard febrile asthma is the same as the home remedies that Li Shan knows, so Li Shan boldly prescribed: "Gardenia, lotus leaf, Zhimu 10 grams each, gypsum, forsythia 15 grams each, licorice 20 grams, skullcap 6 grams, rhubarb 2 grams, Pu Ni 1 Restraint Usage: After adding a small amount of water to the medicine, decoction, wrap the medicine residue with a cloth, warm the navel, and at the same time warm the chest and middle acupoints. In addition, he instructed the nurse who watched the little boy: "I think most of the little boy's disease is caused by pollen allergies, and wherever there are flowers in the future, try not to let the little boy go, if you go, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth." The nurse suddenly realized: "No wonder the young master's illness sometimes goes out fine, and sometimes he gets sick immediately, it turns out that this is the case, I wrote it down." ”

Lu Jiuyuan saw that what Li Shan said was in good order, and the medical officer also said that it did have the effect of dissolving phlegm and smoothing qi, and he was particularly fond of Li Shan, and said: "Don't leave at noon, just stay and eat and it's not too late to leave." Li Shan didn't shirk either, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Xie Lu is love, and you're welcome." Lu Jiuyuan said: "The virtuous nephew is too polite, you and Bo Yan are friends, just call me uncle in the future, and make the adults seem angry." Li Shan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The little nephew has seen my uncle." Lu Jiuyuan laughed and took Li Shan to the study.

Li Shan deliberately attracted Lu Jiuyuan's attention, and also wanted to find Lu Jiuyuan as a backer, after all, if he offended Li Chengwei, maybe he would be yin that day. Coming to the study, Li Shandao: "I saw the embankment repair proposal of the division before, and I felt that there were some defects, and the current embankment is not like before, not only is it broken but also a large amount of sediment is deposited under the embankment, even if it is repaired, it is only half the effort." Lu Jiuyuan felt more and more that this Li Shan was really omniscient, and said: "Isn't there a high theory of virtuous nephew, let's talk about it quickly." ”

Li Shan sold a pass and said: "Uncle looks up to the little nephew too much, I just have a little opinion, what kind of high argument is it talking about!" Besides, the repair plan of the river embankment is to go through detailed field investigations and experiments to get, I have no practice and dare not argue, but I know that in ancient times, Dayu paid attention to the principle that it was better to block than to sparse, and blindly reinforcing the embankment was afraid that it would cost the people and money to do not have the desired effect. Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but nod and said, "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable, this is exactly what I'm worried about!" ”

The two chatted happily, and some of Li Shan's political opinions made Lu Jiuyuan feel that this kid was very talented, and gradually said some practical problems. Although it seemed a little too bold in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty itself was relatively open, and Lu Jiuyuan was not a conservative person, and the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became. It was only when the servant came to call the two of them to have dinner that Lu Jiuyuan said, "Virtuous nephew, let's go eat." If it weren't for the fact that you were going to Beijing to take the exam, I really wanted to summon you into the house as a guest. ”

The lunch was also very rich, with wine and meat, Lu Jiuyuan said: "I heard that the newly opened dishes of the Immortal Pavilion taste unique, but it's a pity that the old man is busy with official business, and he is too lazy to go out and walk around, so he has no chance to taste it." This meal made by his own cook, can the virtuous nephew still eat it? Li Shan said: "Please ask the boss of the Immortal Pavilion to have some friendship with me, if my uncle wants to eat, I will ask them to send the finished food to the Assassin's Mansion." Lu Jiuyuan smiled: "That relationship is good, the old man can also fight tooth sacrifices in the air, and he doesn't have to go out." The old and the young chatted while eating, and only when Lu Jiuyuan was too strong to drink and was helped to rest in the house by the servants, Li Shan came out of Lu Jiuyuan's house.

Li Shan went straight to invite the Immortal Pavilion out of the Assassin's Mansion, Lu Jiuyuan's words just now gave Li Shan an inspiration, where there is a need, there will be business opportunities, some people are not willing to come to invite the Immortal Pavilion to eat, we can deliver takeaways!
