Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 221 Strengthened

According to Li An's idea, he was going to school the next day.

There is only half a month left before the Chinese New Year, and the provincial examination will be held in early March after the new year.

Although he can learn at home, there are many things that he cannot learn by himself alone.

Zhuang Xuexue can teach several students who have won the gold medal, and his ability in teaching students is beyond doubt.

Otherwise Princess Pingning would not have been able to let Qi Heng study in the Sheng family.

However, Zhang and Shi Lin were worried about Li An's health and insisted that he rest at home for one more day to see how things were going.

They all have good intentions, and Li An can't refuse them.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhang told Li An to take good care of himself and went back first.

Shi Lin and his son stayed with Li An, while Liu He went to the teahouse.

Shi Lin pondered for a while and said: "You have been in coma these days, and I have no intention of running the teahouse. Liu He is taking care of it. He does a good job in taking care of it and can get along well with the guests. Many guests even come here specially. I'm chatting with him. I'm thinking of leaving the teahouse to him, and I'm going to open a martial arts gym of my own."

"Don't underestimate Liu He. His temperament is a bit out-of-touch, but he likes to listen to those words and can chat with the guests. I usually say he is taking care of it and takes the title of shopkeeper, but in fact he doesn't know how to do it at all. Management means looking after you," Shi Lin said.

During the past few days when Li An was in coma, Liu He was taking care of the teahouse.

"Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

If for no other reason, he didn't believe Shi Lin would be so eager to leave.

Li An welcomed Shi Lin in and asked him to sit down. Seeing his hesitation, he asked: "Master, is there something wrong with you?"

At night, Li An couldn't sleep. He held an anthology and leaned on the bed to read.

Opening a martial arts gym is a good choice.

"Master, is there any other reason?" Li An asked.

Fuwu refers to using tiger bones and precious medicinal materials to build strength like Li An and Shizhu.

Li An was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Cousin, he has only been away for a long time, is it okay? Otherwise, master, you can check it for him."

He doesn't know many skills, only martial arts and hunting.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of stone forest came from outside the house.

Shi Lin was silent for a while and said, "I met that girl Cai'er. She is honest and very patient with Goudan. I don't dislike her. I want to open a martial arts gym to make some money and wait two years for them to get married."

Not to mention the dangers of hunting, it is not a long-term solution.

"I do have something to tell you."

"I've been sleeping for a few days, and I'm very energetic now. I can't sleep anywhere."

It is said that the poor in literature and the rich in military affairs are not entirely correct.

Li An quickly put down the book, got out of bed and opened the door.

"Aniu, haven't you slept yet?"

"Master, come in quickly, why aren't you asleep yet?"

This will naturally cost a lot.

But if you just learn some basic skills and add moves, you only need to keep up with the food.

And those who can read are not poor. Not to mention anything else, just pen, ink, paper and books are a huge expense.

Ordinary people who learn martial arts really can't compare to scholars in terms of expenses.

The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, and it is true that the status of military generals was low.

But many ordinary people will still choose this path.

Therefore, there are actually quite a few martial arts schools in Bianjing.

Shi Lin had lived in Bianjing for several years. His son wanted to get married and needed money. He also wanted to leave some family business to his son, so he came up with the idea of ​​opening a martial arts gym.

This idea had already occurred to Li An when he came back from Yangzhou and learned that Li An had helped Shi Zhu find a marriage.

But at that time, he didn't know what people in Cai'er were like, and no one could take over Li An's teahouse, so he didn't say anything.

In the past few days, Li An met Cai'er and saw that Cai'er didn't dislike Shi Zhu at all, so he made a decision.

"Master, you don't need to worry about Zhu Zhu's marriage. I will arrange it for him," Li An said. "A Niu, I admit that I had selfish motives when I accepted you as my disciple to teach you martial arts. I thought that you could take care of Goudan in the future. But we father and son have hands and feet, so there is no reason for you to keep them. Zhuzi has also been learning for many years. After he masters martial arts and opens a martial arts gym, he can pass it on to him in the future so that he can have a way of settling down and making a living. You can help our father and son, but you can't help us for a lifetime, right?" Shi Lin shook his head.

After hearing this, Li An was silent for a while and said: "Since the master insists, I won't say anything. But the New Year is coming soon, so let's wait until after the New Year. I will have someone find a good place for you by then."

"This is really going to trouble you. Although I have lived in Bianjing for several years, I am really unfamiliar with these things."

"By the way, I'm going to go back to Yangzhou in a few days, and I'll take Goudan with me to burn incense sticks for my ancestors. See what you need to bring, and prepare it quickly." Shi Lin said.

"Well, counting the days, the school will be closed in three days. I'm going to buy some things. Could you please bring them back to me, master?" Li An said.

"Then I'll go back first. Stop reading at this late hour and go to bed early." Shi Lin stood up and said.

"Master, wait."

Li An stopped Shi Lin and said a little embarrassedly: "I would like to trouble Master to accompany me to Sheng's house tomorrow."

Minglan asked his personal maid to serve him. He didn't know whether Sheng Hong agreed to this.

But Mrs. Sheng must have agreed.

Now that he is awake, he must respond.

Although it is not a formal marriage proposal, at least an elder must be present.

His parents are in Yangzhou and will definitely not be able to come. Liu Xuewen and his wife are suitable. But Liu Xuewen is very busy now. He did not inform him in advance, and it is difficult for Liu Xuewen to take leave temporarily.

"Haha, don't worry about this. Mrs. Liu told me before she left. She meant that now is not a formal marriage proposal, and it is not suitable to go directly to see Mr. Sheng. Tomorrow morning, she will accompany you to see Mr. Sheng. Madam, she will tell Mrs. Sheng about this." Shi Lin said with a smile.

Li An was stunned and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Mrs. Liu said, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night." Shi Lin said with a smile.

Li An: "..."

I'm not a young boy, so why am I so excited that I can't sleep because of this little thing?

……

Well, Li An did have insomnia at night.

Although I said that I would go to Sheng's house tomorrow just to express my attitude, as long as there is no big change, it is equivalent to a decision.

This was the first time for him in two lifetimes.

Of course, Li An would never admit that he couldn't sleep because of this excitement.

Instead, I comforted myself that I had slept too much for a few days in coma.

Although he couldn't sleep at night, Li An still got up early the next morning.

When he picked up the gun and prepared to practice martial arts in the yard, he finally noticed something unusual.

His strength increased.

The Shi family's ancestral spear weighs about twenty kilograms.

Li An has been using it for several years and has already become accustomed to it.

However, when I picked up the spear today, it felt much lighter.

Li An wondered if he felt this way because he hadn't practiced for a few days.

So I came to the courtyard, picked up the stone lock and tried it.

Although he has a poor physical condition and a low strength due to hard work, he still has a hundred kilograms of strength in one arm.

He could lift the hundred-jin stone lock with one arm, but he couldn't.

However, in this experiment, he was able to lift a hundred kilograms of stone locks.

Although it was still a bit difficult, it proved that his strength had indeed increased.

Ang Lee was only slightly happy about this change.

The Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. Unless he failed to pass the Jinshi examination, he would not be able to join the army.

Practicing martial arts is just to strengthen your body and have the ability to protect yourself when encountering danger.

With his current martial arts skills, it is completely sufficient, and getting stronger would be just the icing on the cake.
