Now, being able to watch this fireworks display with Wang Ye and his group is like heaven and earth compared to his original plan!

  Jin Zhiyan glared at Li Wenshan with unbearable toothache, took a few deep breaths, turned his head, pointed at Li Wenshan and Gu Liu, gritting his teeth: "Look at him like that, I've had enough of him!"

  The old six laughed and pointed at Li Wenshan, "Great! I just like Li Wu's frank temperament."

  "It's... Asha... Asha must be over the moon." Li Wenshan's mouth couldn't close, scratching his head, feeling quite embarrassed at this moment.

  "Don't shift the blame onto Asha, I'm watching, and Asha is more promising than you." King Qin rejoined bluntly.

  Gu Liu burst out laughing, "Haha, indeed, Ah Xia is much more capable than him."

  "That's it!" Li Wenshan couldn't agree more, "A Xia, my sister, she is... the most outstanding sister under the sky, the best sister, and that sister is A Xia!" Li Wenshan wanted to praise her, but when he got to the point of speaking, he found that none of his words could be spoken out loud. A Xia's goodness was really hard to put into words. "I'm telling you, you guys wouldn't understand, in short, just one sentence: she is good, my sister, the best under the sky!"

  Qin Wang glared at Li Wenshan, Gu Liu's smile grew even more ferocious. While laughing, he kicked Li Wenshan's calf with the back of his foot, "Li Wu, you're also... being humble is one thing, but looking at you, what do you know about humility? Can't you be a bit more subtle in your praise? You dare to say that you're the best under heaven? Your face doesn't even turn red?"

  Jin Shu Yan's face was speechless, and even his toothache didn't hurt anymore. Lu Yi smiled and mediated, "A Xia is indeed good, very sensible."

  "I'm telling you, my sister Xia is the best in the world! This is the truth, no need to be modest." Li Wenshan's expression was serious, his sister, absolutely the most extraordinary and the best one, he just couldn't say it.

  The King of Qin burst out laughing and pointed at Li Wenshan, "Don't mind him anymore, once he mentions his sister, he gets possessed by a demon. This illness of his isn't something that happened overnight, it's deeply ingrained. Alright, the day is getting late, you should hurry up and leave, we also need to set off soon. By the way, your family still doesn't have a car, right?"

  Before Li Wenshan could speak, the Qin king raised his hand to stop him and continued: "Which family doesn't have a big car for nothing? I asked the wrong question. What I meant to say is that you don't need to rent a car on your way back, let Feng arrange it for you. Your money is precious. Li Wu, your temperament is good, but with your family's situation, how will you handle your sister's dowry when she gets married? What did the matchmaker say the other day?"

  The King of Qin pointed at Gu Liu, who hastily added: "Without a dowry, she can't get married!"

  The king of Qin slapped Li Wenshan with the horse whip in his hand, "Did you hear that? You'd better think about your sister's dowry now. By the way, making money by doing business, you should learn from Xiao Gu more, his family is really good at doing business."

  "Oh? Alright!" Li Wenshan didn't quite understand, but he agreed first and would figure it out later. Anyway, when he got back home, there were people to ask, like Mr. Qin and Xia too.

  Li Wenshan rushed back home, only feeling exhausted after entering the house. After taking a bath and giving instructions on watching the fireworks, he fell asleep immediately.

  He slept until the afternoon of the 13th, when Li Wenshan got up to find that everything was ready for the fireworks display. The four people who were going to watch the fireworks - from Li Wenshan to Li Xia - were all excited, with Li Dong being the most agitated, becoming increasingly restless as the time drew near.

  Li Xia looked at her with a sour and uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

  In the past and present, my sister has always been the one who suffers the most. In this family, Mother takes care of half, and my sister does the other half. The good food, fun, and nice clothes are all reserved for her and our brothers, as well as Father and Mother, while she is always the last one to get anything. Even when going out to play, she is also the least likely to join in. Alas, these things, she cannot help my sister with.

  Li Wenshan slept for a whole day and night, feeling refreshed and invigorated. He took Li Xia out for a stroll around the backyard, excitedly recounting his experiences and stories from the past few days, including what Qin Wang was like, how the Crown Prince was, and what General Lu had said.

  "Ah, right," said Li Wenshan, slapping his forehead as he remembered, "Yesterday when I came back, Master Wang said that An Pinle's dowry is not a problem, but you and Dong Jie don't have one, it might be hard to get married. He told me to ask Gu Liu for advice on how to do business and make money, is this what he meant by helping us?"

  Li Xia's footsteps slowed down, and she looked up at her fifth brother before taking a few more steps forward. She nodded slightly, "He's not talking about the dowry, just changing his words to remind you. If it weren't for your situation, our family would be fine. But now that you're following Qin Wang, we can't afford to have fewer people by our side. People like Ji Dajun, Ji Erjun, Mr. Qin, and Guo Sheng are all being supported by our eldest brother. If we calculate it this way, our family really can't hold on for much longer."

  "Big Uncle..." Li Wenshan looked at Li Xia, his words left unspoken.

  "No matter what, the eldest uncle's is not ours. The eldest uncle is the eldest uncle, and you are you. Even if they are close brothers, there are still boundaries between them. We don't mind these things, the eldest uncle doesn't mind, but the Qin king and his people will definitely mind." Li Xia said in a low voice.

  Li Wenshan furrowed his brow, nodded after a moment, indeed it was so, the silver of Dabo's family, using a little is a little favor, using more, this unsettled favor, in the future really wants to make him do something... Alas.

  "It's not a big deal, this matter. The King of Qin didn't say it, but I've been thinking about it too. You go and discuss with Mr. Qin, Auntie still has over 10,000 silver coins in her hands. Tell Auntie to keep some and add a few more maidservants. It's better to buy younger ones, they're cheaper and can be trained from a young age, which is better than buying older ones. Sister is already 14 this year, after a few years she'll get married and it will be perfect for her to bring them along as attendants. In the husband's household, such reliable helpers will be indispensable."

  Li Xia spoke while Li Wenshan nodded in agreement.

  "As for the remaining silver, take out 10,000 and give it to Mr. Qin, let him do some business with it. You're not good at dealing with business matters, besides, you don't have time for that either."

  Li Wenshan nodded continuously, he also thought so.

  "That's the Gu family for you." Li Xia fell silent for a moment, "It can't just be a polite inquiry. In the style of the Gu family, if you ask them to teach you something, they might give you not only their skills but also their entire business, and even force it on you until you can't refuse. We can't accept that."

  Li Wenshan's eyes widened, and after a moment, he let out a loud whoosh of air. "The Gu family... is really something."

  "Yes, their family has been incredibly talented since the ancient number one scholar. Since the King of Qin said so, this is a must-ask, you should go find Mr. Qin right away and tell him that you want to find a business to do, ask for his help to see where to start from, remember not to mention those words from the king, especially about asking for advice on Gu Liu's business, don't mention a single word."
