Chapter 41: The Gift of the Weak Crown

Li Shan has been rare in the past few days, and since he was busy with the affairs of the restaurant, Li Shan has almost no leisure time. Now that the dust has settled, Li Shan finally has a chance to have a good time for a few days. It is also very comfortable to take Su Jinxi shopping every day, or take Liu Ruyan to the suburbs. Li Shan will not let Su Jinxi and Liu Ruyan be with him at the same time, because in that case, he can only become the target of public criticism and the weak person who is bullied. However, after dividing the two of them, it was time for Li Shan to turn over and become the master.

Mother Li saw that Li Shan had been idle these days, and hurriedly asked Li Shan to make a weak crown ceremony. In Li Shan's opinion, this kind of etiquette is not necessary at all, and the people invited are nothing more than Li Shan's friends, who are talking about something. However, Li's mother told Li Shan that he had to take it seriously, and Li Shan didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he had to deal with it.

It was the tenth day, and the courtyard of Li Shan's house was lively. Sun Helian, Lu Boyan, Shen Shixing and others all came one by one. Fang Zicheng patted Li Shan's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Brother Li, this is the first time I have come to your house, I didn't expect it to be here, or the first time I have seen you." I didn't expect you and Zhang Yanzhao to live together, no wonder you have such a good relationship. Li Shan said: "I should have brought you here to have fun, I can't help it, I'm too busy this time." ”

Sun Ping, who hadn't seen her for a long time, also came and said, "Brother Li Shan, you didn't go to Sun's Mansion to play with us for so long, and my brother didn't take me, I was about to suffocate to death during this time." Li Shan liked this cute little sister very much, and said: "That's simple, in the future, I will let Liu Ruyan go to you, and then you will play with Ruyan and Jinxi." Sun Ping listened to Li Shan's words, pouted and said, "Brother Li Shan, I didn't say you, how beautiful my sister-in-law is, and she is a good person." Why are you not satisfied, they all say that men are unlucky, I don't think what they said is right at all, I don't believe that Su Jinxi is okay like a sister-in-law. Pity me, my sister-in-law still indulges you. ”

Li Shanhao, who said Sun Ping's words, was not embarrassed, scratched his head and was about to defend when he heard Su Jinxi's voice say, "This is Sun Ping's sister." Turning his head, he saw that Su Jinxi and Liu Ruyan came over together, Sun Ping also saw Su Jinxi for the first time, and immediately became dumb, and opened his mouth for a long time: "There are really such good-looking people, no wonder my brother is distracted." Su Jinxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Sun Ping is really straightforward, what do you have to say." Li Shan couldn't help but shake his head, this girl's theory is also quite strange, and it is understandable to find a beautiful one. However, Li Shan likes it, Li Shan's requirements for women have always been high standards and strict requirements, not the best but better.

The crowning gift for Li Shan is actually quite simple, but Li Shan still feels bored to death. Because the temple in Li Shan's family has decayed, and there are no elders in the people, there are other people to replace their own ancestors. First, prepare tributes to sacrifice heaven and earth and ancestors, and then the protocol can crown Li Shanlai. There are three crowns, that is, three hats are worn in turn, and the first is a cloth crown made of black linen material, indicating that they have the qualification to participate in politics and can assume social responsibility; Then a leather jacket made of white deer skin was added, which was a military hat, indicating that from now on he would have to serve in the military to defend the territory of Sheji; Finally, a plain crown with red and black is added, which is a top hat that was common in ancient times, indicating that you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony from now on.

The concierges invited were several famous local Confucian scholars in Jingzhou, although their reputation was not as good as Cai Yong's, but they were also quite respected. Li Shan is like a puppet with a string, and he sends messengers to make a bow and salute. Finally completed the coronation ceremony, and finally Master Guangwu gave Li Shan the word, in fact, Li Shan's word has been started, it is Mu Chan. Master Guangwu gave the word is also required by Mother Li, since Master Guangwu came to the Li family, deeply respected by Mother Li, after all, Master Guangwu is Master Huineng's personal disciple, he is proficient in Buddhism, which is in line with Mother Li's mind, so today's Master Guangwu must give words. Guangwu is also happy to do this errand, in his opinion, Li Shan's name reveals a heart to the Buddha, so he watched Guangwu quote a lot of scriptures in front of Li Shan, summed up is nothing more than to let Li Shan be kind words, and then said: "Eighteen years old, you should do this ceremony, add the word Mu Chan." From now on, you will be called Li Muchan. ”

Finally finished, Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief and went into the house to salute his mother, and then led everyone to invite the Immortal Pavilion, it is not easy to come here, and you always have to be treated.

"Haha, Brother Li, you should be content. When I was crowned last year, I went to the temple in the morning to worship and then bowed, and knelt all day. You're done this morning. Sun Helian said while eating, these people have no scruples, and it is also lively to get together at a table. Liu Ruyan, Su Jinxi and Sun Ping were not here. Instead, he and Mother Li entertained other ladies in another private room. Li Shan finally relieved himself and asked Zhang Yanzhao: "How is that Yuelai Restaurant now, are you still troublesome with us?" ”

Zhang Yanzhao said with a smile: "Brother Shan, don't you know, we have made Yuelai Restaurant miserable in the past few days." Originally, he found someone to pick on us, but after being repaired by me and Zhuo Cheng, no one came. It didn't have much impact on us, but we went to his store and tossed and poached a large number of customers. Don't say it, I also promoted the idea of delivering food to me last time, and now there are at least one-third fewer customers in Yuelai Restaurant. Li Shan didn't expect this trick, Zhang Yanzhao, this kid is really clever, and he will learn and use it so quickly. Zhang Yanzhao said again: "Do you guess who the person I am looking for to deliver food now?" ”

This stumped Li Shan, and he couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, and said, "I learned to sell it to your brother, hurry up." Everyone laughed when they saw Li Shan's deflated, and Zhang Yanzhao said: "Do you remember the pair of brothers and sisters who asked for food a while ago?" I asked them to call this piece of Hanako in a hurry, and they left a dozen of them, and now they live in our backyard warehouse, how about brother, did I also do a good thing? ”

Li Shan looked at Zhang Yanzhao and said, "I really didn't expect that you kid really have ideas and do it well, this matter is a great achievement for you." When we do business, we must not only be honest, but also people-oriented. He has not only the morality and intelligence of a Confucian, but also the wealth and shrewdness of a businessman, and is a model of Confucianism and an elite in the business world. Confucius said that self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world. Although Yan Zhao can't be promoted to be an official, you can also create wealth for everyone through your own wisdom, and let more people enjoy a happy life through your own virtue. I believe in you, one day you can become a legendary Confucian merchant in Jingzhou. ”

Zhang Yanzhao listened to Li Shan's words, only felt like an empowering, took a sip of wine, his eyes seemed to be a little moist, and said: "Brother Shan, I used to think that I might not be able to do well in my life, but you let me know that I have such an ability." I will certainly live up to your expectations. Lu Boyan said: "What a Confucian businessman, since ancient times, he has not been a businessman, and he is ashamed of being a businessman." Now Brother Li's words really make me wait to be taught. A good one has both the morality and intellect of a Confucian and the wealth and shrewdness of a businessman. Come, let's have a toast to this Confucian businessman. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Boyan walked up to Li Shan and said, "Brother Li, how is the thing in the chess and card room you said last time?" I'm very itchy, and I can't wait to show my skills with your Confucian remarks just now. I've already calculated the problem of money, Sun Helian has no money, but we have it. I, Shen Shixing, and Fang Zicheng can still take out one or two hundred taels, how you want to spend it, we listen to you. ”

When Li Shan heard this, this is another big business of four or five hundred taels. In fact, he had long taken a fancy to a house between the Immortal Pavilion and the Drunken Red Mansion, and if he could handle it properly, he could build this place into a golden cave for eating, drinking, and selling. Li Shan estimated that now that Zuihonglou had begun to promote his poker and mahjong, the bait had been laid, and it was almost time to cast a net to catch fish.

Li Shanla Lu Boyan whispered: "We still can't make a noise about this matter, after all, we can't appear in the business field, I have already aimed at the people who came forward, wait for two more days, since ancient times, Huang gambling has not been separated, I will go to the drunken Red Mansion in these two days, and then talk to Lao Bustard about this business." Just get your money ready. Lu Boyan didn't ask, picked up the wine and clinked glasses, which was regarded as a celebration. Li Shan looked at this group of rich second generations, and his heart was happy. Who said that the rich second generation will only spend time drinking, and it is the king to make money in spending money.
