How did I, a mere son-in-law lying down, become a "Fenglang Juxu" (a legendary martial art

With a smile, Liu Shan said, "These two couplets are a gift to Manager Sun. May you have abundant wealth, and may you not forget to do good deeds."

Sun Wangang was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you for the calligraphy, young master. I will remember it and do good deeds to live up to your and your wife's expectations."

Although Li Wanqing did not speak, her eyes revealed her appreciation for Liu Shan. She had not expected that this scholar was so learned, not only with outstanding literary talent but also with thoughtful consideration.

After Sun Wangang took his leave, Liu Shan said softly to Li Wanqing, "Wanqing, we owe you a lot for what happened today."

Li Wanqing smiled gently and said softly, "You and I, husband and wife, are one, and should naturally be of one mind, but..."

"Just what?"

"But, my husband, don't you intend to explain the matter of the couplets?" Li Wanqing's eyes sparkled with curiosity and anticipation.

Liu Shan seemed a little flustered. He coughed lightly and replied gently, "Well... as you can see, these two couplets were indeed written by my own hand."

What Li Wanqing wanted to figure out was not the two couplets from before, but "then... what about the three first lines of the couplets outside the mansion?"

Liu Shanxin felt a surge of teasing intent and laughed, "Could it be that those three masterpieces were written by Wanqing?"

Li Wanqing blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "If I had written it, why would I ask a question I already know the answer to?"

Liu Shan laughed loudly: "Who knows?"

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll beat you up!" Li Wanqing glared at him lightly and raised her hand as if to hit him.

Despite her fierce appearance, Li Wanqing is actually kind-hearted. Through their time together, Liu Shan has come to understand her personality. Judging from her current appearance, she is clearly shy.

"Well, actually those three first lines of couplets... might be my father-in-law's masterpieces. I've noticed he really enjoys writing calligraphy."

Li Wanqing snorted lightly. As her daughter, how could she not know her father's level?

She said something outrageous: If Father could write couplets, then every donkey in the world could write poetry.

……

During the time Jiang Ruolan was bedridden due to poisoning, she would occasionally wake up, but only for a short time. However, every time Jiang Ruolan woke up, Li Wanqing would personally take care of her and feed her rice porridge.

For a pampered daughter of a military family who was used to a life of luxury and whose behavior was somewhat rough, such meticulous care truly required all her energy.

Xiao Yue stayed by her senior sister's side day and night. Later, Madam Wang simply ordered someone to bring over a small couch and place it next to Jiang Ruolan's bed, which made it convenient for Xiao Yue to take care of Jiang Ruolan and also made it easier for her to rest.

After returning from the opera house, Liu Shan resumed his previous state of "asceticism," staying indoors and focusing on his cultivation.

The thought that even someone as skilled in martial arts as Jiang Ruolan could suffer such a serious injury strengthened Liu Shan's resolve to train diligently.

With Li Wanqing's unremitting support, and especially in cooperation with Sanqi Pharmacy, Liu Shan's medicinal diet formula has been carefully adjusted, and its quality and efficacy have been significantly improved.

However, this process also brought increased costs, leading to financial strain on the Li family.

Liu Shan practiced diligently every day, and the effects of the medicine gradually became apparent, making his body stronger and stronger.

Although Li Wanqing felt gratified, the dwindling amount of silver made her worried.

Although her mother never mentioned it, she noticed that everyone in the household was quietly cutting back on expenses, and the equipment in the martial arts training ground was being repaired whenever possible instead of being replaced with new ones.

As night fell, Madam Wang quietly returned to her room, gently closed the door, and whispered to Li Polu, "Master, you see that Wanqing has already started to be frugal. Should I discuss cultivation with my son-in-law? Or, could we consider selling a few unused shops to alleviate the Li family's immediate financial crisis?"

Li Polu pondered for a moment and said, "Transfer all the remaining vacant shops to Wanqing."

Madam Wang frowned slightly. She had given her daughter everything and was willing to give everything, but transferring the shop to her daughter was only a temporary solution and could not immediately solve the problem of the family's lack of money.

"Perhaps I should discuss with my son-in-law whether to adjust the quality of the medicinal cuisine or reduce the dosage?"

Li Polu immediately glared and objected, "Now that our son-in-law has finally come to his senses and is willing to practice martial arts properly, he has the potential. It's just a pity that his body was a bit weak before. He should take more supplements and conditioning. How can we become his stumbling block at this moment? You must understand that when we pass away, Wanqing will only be able to rely on her son-in-law. Only when our son-in-law stands up will our Wanqing not be bullied!"

Wang was filled with worry and muttered to herself, "What if he really becomes successful in the future and wants to divorce Wanqing?"

"Shut up! That's just a woman's opinion!" Li Polu's face darkened, and his tone became firm: "I watched that child grow up with my own eyes. Although he was a bit stubborn before and did some absurd things, he is by no means a treacherous person. Madam, you must trust my judgment!"

Wang sighed and said no more.

As the night deepened and all was quiet, the lights in the Li residence were extinguished one by one, except for Liu Shan's room, which still emitted a faint light.

The person Li Polu mentioned, whom he had watched grow up, was currently lying in bed tossing and turning, lost in thought.

He was unaware of the Li family's financial situation, but recently he noticed that many details within the mansion reflected frugality, and many items had been replaced with cheaper alternatives, which was unprecedented. This indicated that the Li family's funds were already tight.

The Li family had always treated him well, and he couldn't just stand by and watch them squander their wealth. Suddenly, the idea of ​​making money came to him.

When it comes to making money, Liu Shan has a lot of ideas, but unfortunately he knows very few of them.

He remembered a post that summarized how, if one traveled to ancient times, one could invent soap, cement, glass, gunpowder, refined salt, steam engines, generators, and so on.

When Liu Shan first read the post, he just laughed it off and treated it as a joke.

But now that it's happening to him, he understands how much knowledge and skill is required behind those seemingly simple inventions!

Although his inventions of soap, cement, glass, gunpowder, and refined salt were excellent, he knew nothing about them.

As for steam engines and generators?

That's pure fantasy. He doesn't even understand the basic principles; all he knows is how to steam buns and generate electricity with love!

Since this approach was not working, Liu Shan decided to change his way of thinking and began to recall what he was good at.

As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered that he would fall asleep...

The next morning, Liu Shan took out a piece of paper covered with writing and called Amber over, asking her questions one by one according to the paper.

“Amber, this is very important to me, so you must listen carefully and answer carefully.”

Amber was completely confused, but she nodded repeatedly, her little face full of seriousness.

Do you know what hot pot is?

Amber blinked, pondered for a moment, and shook her head.

Do you know what barbecue is?

Amber shook her head again, her little face full of confusion.

Liu Shan frowned slightly and continued, "Do you know what braised meat is?"

Amber shook her head again.

"Knowing what is..."
