Early the next morning, Li Shan was awakened by the movement next to the bed. When he opened his eyes and saw that Su Jinxi was about to get up, Li Shan reached out and hugged Su Jinxi in his arms and said, "What are my baby going to do so early?" Su Jinxi struggled slightly: "Don't make trouble, the concubine gets up and cooks hot water for the minister." "It's really virtuous, on the first day of the wedding, Li Shan didn't want his woman to be so tired and said: "I didn't expect my little baby to have this ability, isn't the singer of the Drunken Red Mansion only able to play the piano and sing songs?" You have just broken your body, I am reluctant to let you move, you lie down well, this meal will naturally be cooked by the sister-in-law of the Zhao family. ”

Su Jinxi still remembered it and said: "I learned these jobs when I was young, and besides, I am the concubine of the Xianggong, and it is my duty to serve the Xianggong, otherwise I will be laughed at." Li Shan turned over and pressed Su Jinxi under him and said: "I know this, but not today, you take care of it, this is my order, don't you listen to me." He deliberately straightened his face as he spoke. Su Jinxi couldn't help it, so she could only give in and said, "Okay, Xianggong, the concubine is obedient." But. I'm going to have to greet the old lady in a moment, but I can't avoid it. Li Shan deeply felt the cumbersomeness of the ancient rules, but as the so-called local customs, some things are still unavoidable, and it is impossible to change them overnight, so take your time.

Yan Zhao and the Zhao brothers were busy with the affairs of the restaurant, and they always went out early in the morning, Li Shan, as an idler, naturally got up later, and the meal prepared by the sister-in-law of the Zhao family was directly brought to the room by Su Jinxi to eat. The meal was naturally no longer as bitter as before, and Li Shan pulled Su Jinxi to eat breakfast together.

After breakfast, Li Shan first practiced in the morning as usual, and then took a copy of "The Book of Filial Piety" and began to read. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial examinations were based on the Analects and the Book of Filial Piety. If Li Shan wants to take the imperial examination, he still has to start from the basics. The most important thing is the brush word, Li Shan's brush word can be said to have zero skills, this thing is sensible and practiced since childhood, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it for a while. Su Jinxi was helping Li Shan grind on the side, looking at Li Shan's writing, she frowned, she really couldn't figure it out, how could Li Shan, who could become a poem in seven steps, not use a brush? Li Shan looked at Su Jinxi and knew what she was thinking, "Jinxi, can you write?" Su Jinxi nodded. Li Shan handed the pen to Su Jinxi and said, "Okay, from now on, you will be my scholar, and you will write everything I want to write." Come, write a few for me to see. Li Shan knew that he couldn't practice it, so he simply stopped practicing.

The two were really joking, so they listened to the footsteps outside, and then Liu Ruyan's voice came: "Ruyan has seen my aunt." Li Shan knew that Liu Ruyan was coming, so he took Su Jinxi out together. Liu Ruyan was speechless when she saw Su Jinxi in surprise, and Su Jinxi hurriedly went over obediently and grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand and said, "Sister Ruyan, this matter is a long story, you must listen to me explain it to you." Li Shan also hurriedly helped: "It's really a coincidence, no one would have thought that the three of us would have such a fate." As he spoke, he pulled the two girls into his room, one by one.

The matter of the three of them getting together was finally consummated, Liu Ruyan patiently listened to Su Jinxi finish the matter, and said: "I didn't expect Sister Mingyue, no, it should be called Sister Jinxi turned out to be the Oiran of the Drunken Red Mansion." But come to think of it, it is difficult to find someone like Jinxi's sister in Jingzhou. Childe, you don't know yet, most of the money I invested in the restaurant before was lent to me by Sister Jinxi. ”

Li Shan laughed when he heard this: "This is called fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, it seems that this is also a fixed number of fate." Jinxi lent you money to help me open a restaurant smoothly, and I redeemed myself for Jinxi, this is really providential. Liu Ruyan said: "I knew that you were redeeming your life for Sister Jinxi, so why should I be sad in vain." Li Shan hugged the two of them in his arms one by one and said: "I, Li Shan, am also a blessing from my previous life, and I will definitely make you happy with the favor of the two beauties." ”

It's so beautiful, I heard Zhao Long's voice ringing from the courtyard: "Li Shan, Yan Zhao asked you to go to the restaurant quickly." Li Shan knew that it must be important for Yan Zhao to send Zhao Long to call him, so he didn't dare to delay and said to the two women: "It must be that there is an urgent matter in the restaurant, so I should go quickly." Liu Ruyan hurriedly said: "Then you have to be careful, don't be impulsive." Li Shan ran out of the house while waving his hand, leaving the two with worried faces.

When Zhao Long saw Li Shan coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yan Zhao said that Cai Bawang is here again, and he is delaying time, so let you hurry over and have a look." Li Shan said: "Okay, I'll ride over first." ”

When he came to the Invitation Immortal Pavilion, Zhang Yanzhao was talking to Cai Xiang, Li Shan was not in a hurry to go in, and eavesdropped outside the door. "Shopkeeper, if you can't be the master of this matter, let's ask your boss lady to come out. I'm waiting, I can't wait for so many brothers to eat. Cai Xiang said slowly while drinking tea, seeing that he was dressed as a scholar, his voice was a little rough, and his demeanor was quite vulgar. Li Shan sneered in his heart, this is obviously collecting protection money.

Zhang Yanzhao was not panicked, and said very calmly: "Master Cai, your reputation in Jingzhou is like thunder, our boss lady said that I should visit you as soon as I come to Jingzhou." But you also know that our restaurant has just opened, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things, so I really can't get out of it. Besides, the opening of this restaurant is a large investment, now just opened for two days, it is the time when the pocket is shy, you wait for us to run for a while, when our proprietress personally prepared a generous gift to apologize for the sin, wouldn't it be better, do you see if this means. ”

Cai Xiang is not a vegetarian, and he is used to acting as a prestige on weekdays, so it is impossible to fool the past with these three words. Putting the teacup on the table, he said, "Hmph, shopkeeper." It's not that I don't give you face. I have said good words about the opening yesterday, and today you want to send me away with such a few words? If your boss lady can't come out and give me a satisfactory answer today, then you can't blame Cai for saluting first and then soldiering. ”

Li Shan already knew this when he heard this, so he directly pushed the door in and said, "Brother Yanzhao is here, let me find it." Hey? Who is this? When Zhang Yanzhao saw Li Shan coming, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Brother Li, this is Master Cai Xiang Cai." This is the son of Li Shan, who has recently become famous. ”

Cai Xiang was vigilant when he saw someone suddenly breaking in, but when he saw that he was a white-faced scholar, he didn't care too much. After listening to Zhang Yanzhao's introduction, I knew that this person was Li Shan. Although Li Shan's identity is not clear to others, and he is not a famous family in Jingzhou, it is rumored that this person has a very good relationship with Sun Helian, and he has clashed head-on with Li Chengwei, so he must not be underestimated. Cai Xiang was a little surprised to see that the shopkeeper actually knew such people. I thought that Invite Senge was a businessman from other provinces, but now it doesn't seem so simple. Cai Xiang hugged his fists and said: "Cai will come to visit again in a few days, I hope it will be good for the shopkeeper to show some sincerity." After speaking, he ignored Li Shan, got up and left.

Yan Zhao watched Cai Xiang walk away and said, "Brother Shan, what do you think of this person?" Li Shan said with a smile: "It's just a small role, he is just the virtue of a ruffian hooligan, and he doesn't have enough people to swallow elephants, and he wants to eat our piece of fat." It should have known that our restaurant was from other places, so he thought that we had no roots here and bullied us. You don't have to worry about that, I'll figure it out. Zhang Yanzhao said again: "I came to inquire, Cai Xiang has an elder brother named Cai Qi, who is a general of the Jingzhou Mansion. ”

The general of the government office, that is, the head of the fast catch, is equivalent to the current captain of the action team of the Public Security Bureau. Because of the unification of the three powers in ancient times, there was no direct correspondence to the director of the public security bureau, and the assassin Shi was both the mayor and the director of the public security bureau, so the power of the government staff was also very great, no wonder Cai Xiang dared to be so arrogant.

Li Shan lowered his head and pondered for a long time and said: "This is not afraid, we don't care about the loss if it really makes trouble to the official family, and Lord Liu and Lord Sun can't suffer a loss in us." I'm afraid that he will come to disgust us, but this is not a bad thing, it seems that we have also developed our own forces. As the saying goes, people are good and are deceived by others, we don't be evildoers, but we can't be bullied by wicked people. ”
