The villagers in Sun Moon Lake all found that Alang seemed to be a different person when he returned home. Although he was still approachable and talked and laughed freely, he was not so diligent before.
The personal guards of Li Zhai, such as Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, Zhou Erlang and others, watched speechlessly as Li Shan was busy every day... He made five meals a day by himself. In Alang's words, this is called eating less and eating more.
"Alang?"
"Already arranged?" Li Shan responded casually, staring at the chickens on the sand without looking back. This kind of real free-range chicken must be very delicious.
In fact, not many chickens are eaten in Zhuangzi, because in the countryside, eggs are the most common currency. Many people do not know how to use money, but use eggs to exchange for daily oil, salt, etc., so these free-range chickens are real old hens. Chicken...so it must be full of oil.
Li Shan has been changing things these days, but Cui Shiniang has always had a bad appetite. She eats sour food today and spicy food tomorrow. In the morning, she said it would be lighter, but at noon she suddenly said she wanted to drink chicken soup.
In fact, Li Shan also knew that most of the time he, his mother and mother-in-law would drink such oily chicken soup, but he still went out to catch the chickens himself.
Fan Shiyi was a little helpless. He looked around and said in a low voice: "The ships have been arranged. Two groups of two people have been arranged on the left and right sides of Juyuan Bridge. Another two groups of people have been sent from Tongguan north to Fangzhou. , go to Yijun County to inquire about the news."
"That's it." Li Shan quickly walked up, grabbed an old hen, and tied its wings skillfully, "Fan Fu is still watching?"
"Yes." Fan Shiyi's voice became even lower, and he whispered softly: "My cousin has changed his career. He has the opportunity to visit the mansion and has a place to stay nearby."
Li Shan turned his head in surprise, "He is quite capable of entering and exiting Zaifu's mansion."
Fan Shiyi chuckled, "It's not unusual to say that he is now a porter of night fragrance."
"Oh." Li Shan also laughed. The so-called night fragrance is feces. There are no sewers in this era, but as long as there are people living in it, eating, drinking and defecation are inevitable. Those high-ranking nobles will not do this even if they are servants. This is why the occupations of night incense pourers and night incense porters were born.
Li Shan calculated that Chang'an City today has a population of about three to four hundred thousand, and there will not be too few people working in this industry. Fan Fu does have the opportunity to enter and leave the mansion, at least his appearance nearby will not arouse suspicion, which is better than the previous salesman. Much safer.
Low-level and low-level industries are also useful... The aristocratic family system prevalent in this era will not start from this aspect at all, but Li Shan doesn't care, he is a pragmatist.
"Keep watching." Li Shan carried the old hen that was still clucking and walked back. "If there is anything unusual, report it immediately at any time."
"yes."
Then Fan Shiyi, Wang Junhao, and Qu Silang watched in silence as Li Shan killed the chicken and pulled out its feathers. They were not surprised that Alang would do this, but they were surprised why the action was so skillful?
In his previous life, Li Shan graduated from high school and worked in a vegetable market, specializing in killing chickens and plucking their feathers. How could he be unskilled?
Sure enough, during dinner, Cui Shiniang barely ate half of the chicken leg and couldn't eat it anymore. Instead, she scooped up a bowl of sticky vegetable soup and drank it deliciously.
Li Shan didn't even know what kind of dish it was, and later generations had never heard of it. It was called sunflower seed, and it is said that it was recorded in the Book of Songs.
When Cui Shiniang put down the bowl and chopsticks, drank two bowls of greasy chicken soup, gnawed on a chicken leg, and Li Shan, who had two chicken wings, quickly washed his hands and helped his wife out for a walk.
Twice in the morning and evening, Li Shanhui supported Eleven Niang for a walk in the village. It was not that his own yard was too busy, but mainly to soothe the mood of the pregnant woman.
Mrs. Zhang asked several maids to follow her, and brought two food boxes with pastries. She couldn't help but whisper to Mrs. Zhu: "The eleventh mother has a good life."
"Um?"
"I have been favored by my parents since I was a child, and all my elders love me." Zhang said with a smile: "My husband also loved me like a treasure after I came out of the palace."
Mrs. Zhu put down her chopsticks and said, "The family also loves Eleven Niang."
"Yes, yes, that's why she is lucky." Mrs. Zhang burst into laughter. At first, she felt dissatisfied here and there, but now she is satisfied everywhere she looks.
Mrs. Zhang has been living in the Li family for several days. It can be seen that Ms. Zhu is not very good at taking care of the family business. She even asked her daughter's personal maid in private. Basically, her daughter takes care of the inner courtyard, property and warehouse of the Li family. .
She can hold power as soon as she enters the house. She is loved by her mother-in-law and privately favored by her husband... The eleventh mother privately told her mother that the husband has been staying in the main house for the past few months, and now she is pregnant within four months of entering the house. This makes her pregnant. As a mother, Mrs. Zhang is a little envious.
Zhu lowered her eyes slightly, a little apologetic in her heart. Cui Xin was an insider, but this one was not... If King Qin ascends the throne in the future, everything will be fine, but if there is any disagreement, I'm afraid this person's attitude will be different. It's about to take a 180-degree turn.
Li Shan carefully supported Cui Shiniang as she walked along the path. She specifically did not choose a path paved with cobblestones. Who knew which stone was higher? What if she stumbled?
"Are you really not going back to Renzhi Palace?"
"Of course I want to go back." Li Shan whispered: "But it's not yet time...be careful, there is a broken brick in front...We are all ready, don't worry."
Cui Shiniang simply leaned on her husband's shoulder, "Actually, my husband is already successful and famous, so he may not need..."
"Well, if you can't stay in Guanzhong, then go to Shandong and just stay in Qinghe." Li Shan said casually: "Actually, as long as the prince fails, it won't be a problem."
"The King of Qin has now regained His Majesty's love and joined forces with his husband. In fact, the Prince has no chance of reversal."
Cui Shiniang didn't say anything. She didn't know that it was her husband who was comforting her. After all, he was the prince who had been in the East Palace for nearly ten years. After all, his opponent was Pei Shiju, a famous minister who had experienced several dynasties. If there was no chance of reversal, then neither would her husband. Hui has been habitually frowning in recent months, not to mention running all night to get back to Zhuangzi a few days ago.
"If the King of Qi comes to the throne, it won't be a problem." Li Shan whispered: "Not to mention the husband, the heir of Wei, Su Dingfang, the Duke of Zhao, and Zhang Zhongjian, who led the Lingzhou Army, even have to win over Zhang Shigui, Liu Shirang, and Zhang Gongjin through their husbands A great general."
Indeed, if the King of Qi really comes to power, Li Shan may be a blessing in disguise. No matter how stupid this person is, he should not take action against himself, the King of Wei, who is very prestigious in the army... Moreover, the King of Qi has a relationship with the Wenxi Pei family. Damn it, Pei Xuanyan suddenly died suddenly when he was transferred from Prince Qi's Mansion. Everyone thought it was Li Yuanji's handiwork.
However, Li Yuanji is too stupid. The possibility of this is very low. Even if he does come to power, Li Shan will definitely stay away from Guanzhong... Can such a fool be able to regain the cultural relics and talents of Tiance Mansion and East Palace?
Can it resist the Turkic invasion?
Li Shan would rather be an opponent with a smart person like Pei Shiju than be a teammate with a pig like Li Yuanji.
