Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 185 Happy Stone Forest

"What are you doing? Get up quickly." Li An said, reaching out to pull Liu He up.

"Cousin, I want to become Master Shi and learn martial arts." Liu He broke away from Li An's hand and said firmly.

Influenced by the romance stories plagiarized by Ang Lee, Liu He's dream is to become a powerful general on the battlefield.

Ever since he heard Li An say that he was learning martial arts from Shi Lin, Liu He regarded Shi Lin as a reclusive master like Tong Yuan.

However, he could tell that Li An didn't want him to learn martial arts, so he secretly made up his mind to strike first.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Shi Lin, he knelt down and became his disciple without giving Li An a chance to talk to Shi Lin.

If Li An knew what Liu He was thinking, he would definitely be speechless.

Because in fact, there is no such person as Tong Yuan in either official history or novels.

Tong Yuan was not fictionalized in the novel, but was fictionalized in folk storytelling.

Shi Zhu didn't give him time to think. He grabbed his shoulder with one hand and lifted it hard. Liu He got up uncontrollably.

There were only two vegetarian dishes on the table, which looked like leftovers from lunch.

Without him having to say anything, Shi Zhu let go of his hand when he saw him pulling him up.

Li An glared at him and said, "Be honest with me, or I will have someone send you back to Yangzhou tomorrow."

"Am I wrong? Don't books say that sincerity leads to gold and stone?" Liu He asked doubtfully.

"Zhuzi, are you too energetic?"

When Liu He heard this, he shrank his neck and became calm instantly.

It wasn't in the original novel, but it was in his adaptation.

Li An explained the reason, but Shi Lin didn't understand much about it, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he went to get the account books for this period and reconcile them with Li An.

"Master, I told you, you don't have to save money for food and drink." Li An said as he glanced at the food and wine on the table.

Li An: "..."

"Master, I am willing to learn, even if it is just a simple move." Liu He said firmly.

"that…"

"Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts, let go quickly." Liu He shouted.

Shi Lin didn't know what to say for a while. He pondered for a while and said: "Looking at your age, you are already sixteen or seventeen years old. At this age, your bones are basically formed. Even if you practice martial arts, you can only learn some basic moves. For more complicated ones, you It’s impossible to practice at all, and if you practice forcefully, you’ll hurt your body.”

stone forest:"……"

"Hey, I'm already tired of eating meat every day. After a few months, it's hard to get it. Come on, sit down and talk. Didn't your previous letter say that you won't come back until after the provincial examination?" Shi Lin asked.

If he had known that Liu He was so deeply poisoned, he would not have added Tong Yuan to the crime.

Liu He muttered while rubbing his shoulders.

"There is no apprentice like you. Pull the pillar up for him." Li An said angrily.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to completely remember the contents of the novel, and many of them were made up by him based on the general plot.

"Master, we haven't eaten yet. We'll discuss the reconciliation later," Li An said.

"You haven't eaten yet? Then I'll go down and ask someone to make some, so you can have a few drinks with me." Shi Lin said.

"Master, sit down and I'll go talk."

Li An stopped Shi Lin, went downstairs, found the waiter and gave instructions.

When he went upstairs, before he entered the hall, he heard Shi Lin's whisper and Liu He's voice.

Li An shook his head. Liu He had an out-of-the-box personality and was very good at talking nonsense to people and ghosts. He could chat with anyone without making others feel disgusted.

Although Shi Lin's temperament is not old-fashioned, he is not the kind of person who likes to laugh. After a while, Liu He was coaxed into laughing.

Just hearing the laughter is not the kind of perfunctory treatment.

To be honest, with his ability, it would be a pity not to do business.

"Master, what are you talking about? You are smiling so happily?" Li An asked as he walked into the hall.

Shi Lin looked at Li An and waved with a smile, and said: "A Niu, I heard that you found a wife for A Niu?" Li An was stunned when he heard this and glared at Liu He. This guy is really good at finding topics.

"Master, this matter has not been settled yet, but I just have this idea. Of course, marriage is an order of the parents, and the master must agree to it." Li An sat down on the edge of the stone forest and said.

"Tell me, how is that girl?" Shi Lin asked.

He just heard what Liu He said and asked Shi Zhu, but Shi Zhu only scratched his head and didn't say anything for a long time.

However, Shi Lin could tell that Shi Zhu did not hate that girl.

In the early years, he had been worried about Shi Zhu's future. He taught Li An martial arts, but also had his own selfish motives, thinking that Li An could take care of Shi Zhu when he was gone.

After getting along with each other for these years, he was very reassured about Li An's character and no longer worried about his son's future, but he was always worried about Shi Zhu's marriage.

He was not worried that Shizhu would not be able to find a wife. Shizhu was tall and thick, and his strength was astonishing. People in the city looked down upon him, but farmers in the countryside still liked him.

In addition, with Li An's relationship, it is impossible to find a wife.

What he was worried about was that his son was a little stupid. Although he was not a fool, he was simple-minded and slow to react.

If someone with poor character comes back, I'm afraid he will be able to coax Shi Zhu into a mess.

It was not uncommon for Hongxing to cheat on someone even in ancient times with strict ethics.

Especially in a place like a tea shop, where all three religions and nine schools are represented, one would not hesitate to speak so much. Naturally, Shi Lin often heard of such things.

"Master, that girl is from my aunt's brother's family. She has a good character. The clothes on Zhuzi's body were made by someone else." Li An said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Shi Lin looked at the clothes Shi Zhu was wearing in surprise. They were ordinary.

But he just heard from Liu He that the girl came from an ordinary farmer's family.

What he saw as average was because he had stayed in Bianjing for several years and compared it with the clothes and workmanship of the people in Bianjing.

Bianjing is the capital after all, and even the clothes of ordinary people are not comparable to those of farmers in Yangzhou.

Among villagers, this kind of workmanship is already very good.

After all, ordinary farmers can't make a few pieces of clothes all year round, and they don't know how to embroider any patterns or anything when making clothes. How can the workmanship be so good?

The girl sold her body to Li An's family, and Shi Zhu was not her master. She even made clothes for Shi Zhu, and Shi Lin had a better impression of this future 'daughter-in-law'.

"Master, this is what I think. Zhu Zhu is not very old now, so he is not in a hurry to get married. He can wait a year or two and see. If she is willing then, and Zhu Zhu doesn't hate her, then he can help them organize their wedding. Master, look How is it?" Li An asked.

Although it seems that Cai'er doesn't hate Zhu Zhu at the moment, and even takes good care of Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu doesn't hate Cai'er either.

But the reason why Cai'er is good to Zhuzi is more because Zhuzi is good to her.

She had lacked care since she was a child. Zhuzi was kind to her, and she was grateful, so she was kind to Zhuzi.

Of course, talking about love in ancient times was a bit nonsense.

But Zhuzi's situation was special after all, so Li An wanted to wait a little longer to let Cai'er calm down.

"Well, you thought well." Shi Lin nodded.

He probably understood what Li An meant. People are fickle. Now Cai'er could agree because of her gratitude and because she had sold herself to the Li family and had no choice.

But if you regret it in the future, it won’t be beautiful after all.

Shi Lin didn't have high standards for his daughter-in-law. Beauty or ugliness didn't matter. Shi Zhu's temperament probably wouldn't tell the difference anyway.

He just hopes to find someone with an honest temper who can live a stable life with Shi Zhu.

People are in high spirits when there is a happy event. When the food and wine are served, several people start eating and drinking.

After eating, Shi Lin was already drunk.

Fortunately, Shi Lin drank and never acted crazy. Today, because of his happiness, he pulled Li An and said many words of gratitude before going back to his room to sleep.

Shi Zhu has always lived here, so he naturally wanted to stay here. Li An called Liu He to prepare to go back, but Liu He was unwilling to go back.

He also said that Li An asked him to learn business from Shi Lin. Then he would live here and learn from Shi Lin tomorrow.

Li An couldn't tell that he wanted to pester Shi Lin to learn martial arts, but he didn't point it out and left him here.
