Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 122
[Chapter 122 Brother-in-law]
Li Baizhang knew that Lin Xiu was joking.
The throne is not so easy to get. Even the emperor can’t make the decision on this matter. The
prince is the heir to the throne. With the support of the most powerful first-class duke family in Daxia, he is likely to be the next emperor of Daxia.
The other 20% possibility is with the King of Qi.
Even if the prince died suddenly and the King of Qi died, the two families would probably send other young women in the family to the palace so that the emperor can continue to have children. In any case, it will not be his turn.
Lin Xiu was not joking.
The supreme realm is just the awakening of the supernatural power nine times. Is it difficult?
If he really only awakened the ice supernatural power, it is quite difficult.
With his basic talent, if he wants to practice step by step to the supreme realm, it will take about five or six hundred years if everything goes well.
To be conservative, let’s say it’s six hundred years.
He is now six times the basic practice speed, which is one hundred years.
If it were an ordinary person, he might not live to this time.
But Lin Xiu has an ability to heal. Under normal circumstances, it is more than enough to live for more than a hundred years.
However, his survival does not mean that Li Baizhang can survive.
Even if Li Baizhang can survive, he will be 120 years old by then. Even if he marries 100 concubines, he will not be able to use them. But six times the cultivation
speed is not Lin Xiu’s limit.
After breaking through to the upper realm of Xuanjie, he will have at least four more abilities.
If he can copy four Tianjie abilities, it will be ten times the cultivation speed.
Six hundred divided by ten, he will only need sixty years to cultivate to the supreme realm.
At that time, Li Baizhang will be eighty years old – it seems that he still can’t use them.
But if he has twenty useful abilities, this time will be shortened to thirty years.
Thirty, twenty years.
If there are sixty, it will only take ten years.
Of course, there are not so many Tianjie abilities, and even if there are, he can get them all, but there are only twenty-four hours in a day, and he does not have so much time to practice.
It seems that even if Lin Xiu can make him emperor during Li Baizhang’s lifetime, his body may not allow him to have fun again.
Lin Xiu couldn’t help but mourn for him.
…
After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu told the couple of the Ping’an Lord about the old house. Zhou Jun smiled and said, “Xiu’er has grown up. You can make your own decisions on these matters. This is a good deed and it is also a virtue for the Lin family. I hope that after you and Lingjun get married, you can give us a grandson or granddaughter as soon as possible…”
Lin Xiu fled in panic. He was not even ready to get married, let alone have a baby.
He actually liked the process of having a baby.
In the past, he had been having fun every night. Although there were no women around him in the past six months, he was still interested in practicing, so he didn’t think there was anything wrong.
It’s all A Ke’s fault.
It’s said that the children of the rivers and lakes are not particular about trivial matters. Lin Xiu is a normal man, a normal man with physical needs. Unless there is a hidden disease, a normal man who sees that kind of scene and has no reaction, it is a problem.
Her body opened the Pandora’s box in Lin Xiu’s heart, and it can never be closed again.
These two days, whenever Lin Xiu sleeps, he must dream.
And every time he dreams, he will dream of a big white moon, or a snow-white rabbit jumping around.
The culprit who caused all this has never appeared again.
It’s better that she doesn’t appear, so that Lin Xiu won’t have any wild thoughts after seeing her.
Two days passed quickly, and today is New Year’s Eve.
After tonight, it will be the new year.
The capital tonight is naturally lively, with countless fireworks blooming in the night sky, illuminating the night sky like daytime. Of course, almost all the fireworks are blooming in the East City. For most people, if they can have an extra meat dish on the dinner table tonight, it is considered to be the New Year. The
meal in the Lin Mansion tonight is very rich. The masters sit at one table, the servants sit at two tables, and even the dog at home has five bowls and plates in front of him, with four dishes and one soup, including fish and meat.
In the past ten years, Lin Xiu has spent New Year’s Eve alone.
Although there is no Spring Festival Gala in this world, it is the most festive New Year for Lin Xiu. He rarely drinks on weekdays, but tonight, he is drunk for the first time.
When he woke up from the bed, it was already bright.
He was woken up by the maid at home. Ping An Bo and his wife knew that Lin Xiu practiced hard. Even if he slept very late on weekdays, they would not wake him up. But today was different. Dumplings were eaten on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and no one in the family could be missing, which meant reunion. After
eating dumplings, there were a series of rituals and customs.
Ancestor worship is also one of the important things to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This is especially important for the powerful.
Any powerful family in Daxia can have today’s glory, which is inseparable from the blood inheritance of their ancestors, so they respect and cherish their ancestors very much. Even the royal family will hold large-scale ancestor worship activities today.
Lin Xiu followed his parents to the cemetery outside the city to worship the ancestors of the Lin family. After that, they had to go to the temple to burn incense and fulfill their vows.
Lin Xiu did not go with them. He followed the old beggar and the peddler to another grave.
To his surprise, there were several figures in front of Chen Yu’s grave.
Several girls knelt in front of her grave, crying, and the old procuress of Pinfang Pavilion was also there, which surprised Lin Xiu a little.
It turned out that so many people still remembered her.
The madam saw Lin Xiu and hurried over, saying, “Sir, you are here too…”
Seeing Lin Xiu’s eyes on the girls, the madam explained, “Sir, you don’t know, Haitang… No, when Ah Yu was still alive, if she saw girls being sold to brothels, she would spend money to buy them and keep them, otherwise, she should have redeemed herself long ago…”
Lin Xiu looked at the girls. They were eight or nine years old, and fifteen or sixteen years old. She was about the same age when she was sold to the brothel.
Perhaps Chen Yu saw herself in them.
She didn’t want these children to repeat her mistakes.
Lin Xiu asked, “What are they going to do in the future?”
The madam said, “I gave them the silver she left behind. Let them make a living on their own. Although they can support themselves in the brothel, if that happens, A Yu’s efforts will be in vain…”
Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “Let them go with me.”
Although the Lin family no longer needs maids, they can also let them work in Ningxiangzhai, which is better than letting them make a living on their own. A few girls, how can they make a living? Without background and backing, they can’t even protect themselves.
The madam was overjoyed when she heard this and said, “That’s the best…”
She walked over quickly and said a few words to the girls. They got up from the ground and stood beside Lin Xiu obediently.
When they were about to leave, another figure came from afar.
It was a man with ordinary looks, short stature, and thin and weak. He walked past Lin Xiu and others and stood in front of Chen Yu’s grave in a daze.
The madam sighed, “When Ah Yu stood at the door to solicit customers before, he always stood in the distance and peeked. I was thinking that after Ah Yu redeemed herself, it would be nice to have someone to live an ordinary life with her, hey…”
Lin Xiu looked at the tombstone. Even if she was just a brothel girl, there were still people who loved and respected her.
They were of humble status, but they also had relatives and friends, and people who cared about them.
They were living people, but there were always people who didn’t treat them as human beings.
He placed a bunch of plum blossoms in front of Chen Yu’s grave and whispered, “It will change…”
After a moment, Lin Xiu retracted his thoughts and looked at the five girls around him.
Chen Yu took good care of them when she was alive, and Lin Xiu would take her place in the future.
He needed to find Xue Ning’er to arrange them.
For the business of Ningxiangzhai, each of them had a very clear division of labor.
Lin Xiu provided the technology, Li Baizhang provided the manpower and material resources, Xue Ning’er was in charge of the business, and the imperial concubine just sat there waiting to collect the money.
Xue Ning’er was in charge of all the matters of the store.
After returning to the royal capital, Lin Xiu came to the door of Xue’s house and asked the doorman to report on his behalf.
After a while, a figure hurried out of Xue’s house.
On the first day of the new year, Xue Ning’er wore a new dress and was dressed very beautifully. The little girls were stunned when they saw such a beautiful sister.
Lin Xiu explained her purpose to her. Xue Ning’er looked at the little girls and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, I will take care of them. It just so happens that our store is short of staff. I also asked the maids in the house to help in the shop. Let them live in my house first…”
As soon as Xue Ning’er finished speaking, a chaotic footsteps and a slightly noisy sound came from the Xue’s house.
“What, someone is looking for our Ning’er?”
“And it’s a handsome young man?”
“Did they say whose family he is from?”
“Let me see, let me see…”
Soon, more than a dozen men ran out of the mansion, looking at Lin Xiu with scrutiny, and then nodded and commented.
“She is indeed handsome.” “
Just a little thin.”
“It’s nothing to be thin, just eat more.”
Several people even walked up to Lin Xiu and asked one after another.
“Who are you from?”
“How old are you this year?”
“What kind of supernatural power have you awakened?”
“What level of martial arts have you reached?”
…
These people asked questions like checking household registration, and Lin Xiu was a little confused.
Xue Ning’er stamped her feet and said angrily: “Fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, eleventh brother, what are you doing, you are not allowed to be rude to my friends!” The Xue family has more than
a dozen men, but only one girl. Her lifelong event, of course, the brothers have to worry about it.
In the past, she was surrounded by countless men, and they would not be so curious.
But not long ago, her temperament suddenly changed. Not only did she reject everyone’s pursuit, she also began to pay attention to cultivation. She went to the martial arts academy to practice every day. Recently, she also opened a shop with others…
All these things revealed weirdness.
Especially since she had rejected the pursuit of two dukes before, she refused to see any of her previous suitors who wanted to see her. Just now, when she heard that someone was looking for her, she didn’t even bother to eat lunch and ran out. How could they not be surprised?
Xue Ning’er glared at them and said viciously: “Go back quickly, or I will be angry!”
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen people ran back immediately.
Although Ning’er would not do anything to them if she made her angry, her father’s stick was not so easy to bear.
At this time, in front of another mansion not far from the Xue family.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looked at the door of the Xue family and asked, “Second sister, who is that pretty boy? He seems to have a good relationship with the beautiful sister of the Xue family.”
Zhao Lingyin frowned, tapped him on the head, and said, “What pretty boy? He’s your brother-in-law!”
The boy was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, “Second sister, do you like that pretty boy!”
