Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 143

[Chapter 143 Qin Wan’s Repayment]

A Ke was no longer at home. Lin Xiu had a casual lunch outside and did not go back, but went directly to the Qingli Division.

He learned from Liu Qingfeng that the bully Xu Long in the north city had been beheaded yesterday. In this case, the Qingli Division acted quickly. The Qingli Division could not afford to offend the children of the rich and powerful, but it was not a burden to kill these bullies with no background.

In addition, the clerks in the case library were very busy today.

They were sorting out the case files of the loyal and brave Qin Wu.

Qin Wu died, but his story was not over yet.

When he was alive, his family was arrogant and domineering, and did a lot of evil things. Frightened by his status as a first-class baron, both the Dongcheng Yamen and the Qingli Division turned a blind eye to it.

But after his death, the Secret Investigation Division suddenly found out all the things he had done before.

What about robbing women, forcibly requisitioning houses, occupying shops, intentional homicide, etc., all the charges were placed on him, so that he turned from a rich and powerful person into a sinner.

The wives and concubines of the Loyal and Brave Marquis’s Mansion naturally became the families of criminals.

Fortunately, His Majesty was merciful and did not let them be implicated. Instead, he let them take some of their own gold and silver and make a living on their own.

As for the land, real estate, shops, silver bills and cash, various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, and the five-story house left by the Loyal and Brave Marquis’s Mansion, they were naturally returned to the national treasury according to the law.

When the people heard about it, they naturally shouted that His Majesty was wise.

Even Lin Xiu had to praise the dog emperor’s operation when he knew about it.

The last time he got married, the dog emperor built two houses and had a lot of silver, which were all earned back in this wave. Lin Xiu may have also made money, but he is the biggest winner.

He still has a lot to learn from the dog emperor.

Lin Xiu came to the Qingli Division this time to discuss something with the doctor.

The Qinglisi Yamen mainly deals with major cases and conflicts between the powerful and the rich, but there are generally not so many major cases, and they cannot afford to deal with conflicts between the powerful and the rich. The Qinglisi can handle cases related to the people’s livelihood, and the officials generally ignore them in the spirit of “less trouble is better than more trouble”.

These things are a piece of cake for them, but they are of great significance to the people. It is possible that their families will be broken up just because their fields and houses are occupied.

Lin Xiu plans to take out a sum of money every month to reward those officials who help the people with cases. Although this cannot change the status quo, it can indeed help many people.

He is not as noble and great as A Ke, who can risk his life to help the weak for the sake of strangers, but for him, these things are just a matter of selling a few less jars of wine and a few bottles of perfume.

The doctor of the Qinglisi agreed to Lin Xiu’s proposal without thinking.

Anyway, he didn’t have to pay for it himself, and now Lin Xiu was no longer the son of the third-class earl half a year ago. The Earl of Ping’an was already the first-class earl, and Lin Xiu was a hot talent in the martial arts academy. Although his official position was far lower than his, even if he was the chief officer of a department, he had to give him three points.

Lin Xiu initially took out one thousand taels, and gave the money to Liu Qingfeng to take care of.

Similarly, Lin Xiu also gave him all the specific reward system and details.

He didn’t have much time and energy. Liu Qingfeng was upright and the most suitable person to do this.

As for Lin Xiu himself, he still had to focus all his energy on cultivation.

His current cultivation speed was still six times faster. In addition to exposing his ability, he would have to wait until he reached the upper realm of the Xuan level to continue to improve after practicing with Princess Minghe and Lingyin. After

leaving the Qingli Division, Lin Xiu went home to see his parents first.

Zhou Yun looked around the street past Lin Xiu, with a disappointed expression, and asked, “Why didn’t Ling Jun come back with you?”

Lin Xiu said, “She is a genius in supernatural arts, the hope of Da Xia’s future. She must be busy with cultivation on weekdays. Next time, I will bring her back next time.”

Zhou Yun said, “Even if she is a genius in supernatural arts, she still needs to eat. The two houses are not far apart, so there is always time to eat together.” Ping’an

Bo Lin Ting said, “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know about it. Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. There are so many geniuses in this world, and they are all working hard to cultivate. If you slack off, you will be overtaken by others…”

“Okay, okay, I don’t know.” Zhou Yun glanced at him and said, “But I, a woman, know that you will sleep in the study for the next half month.” Lin Xiu looked

at Lin Ting sympathetically and said to Zhou Yun, “Mom, can I go home for a few days?”

Zhou Yun looked at him and asked, “You’ve only been married for a few days. If you’re not with Lingjun in the wedding house, what are you doing at home?”

After that, she seemed to realize something and asked, “Are you having a quarrel with Lingjun?”

Lin Xiu shook his head and said, “No, we are fine, but I’m used to sleeping at home. I can’t sleep in a different place.”

Zhou Yun comforted him, “It’s normal to recognize the bed. You’ll get used to it after a few more days. Also, you’re married now. Where Lingjun is is your home. If you run here every day, it’s not right…”

Lin Xiu just smiled and said nothing more.

After talking to them for a while, he left after having lunch at the Lin Mansion.

When he left, Lin Xiu also took Da Huang with him.

Although the location of the house is also in the East City, it is not where the powerful gather, and the defense force is also weaker. Taking Da Huang away can not only keep him company, but also guard the house.

Leaving Da Huang in the house, Lin Xiu hid his figure, flew into the air, and flew out of the city.

When he finished practicing all the strange arts outside and returned home, it was already late at night.

To his surprise, a room and the kitchen in the house were actually lit.

Da Huang lay in the yard honestly, and when he saw Lin Xiu, he barked twice.

A figure walked out of the kitchen and saw Lin Xiu standing in the yard, and said, “I cooked some porridge, do you want to drink some?”

To Lin Xiu’s surprise, Qin Wan was there tonight.

Not only was she here, but she also used the kitchen without his consent.

She seemed to treat this place as her own home.

Lin Xiu wanted to say a few words to her, but after tasting the vegetable porridge she cooked, he decisively shut up.

It should be said that the porridge she cooked was really delicious.

The porridge is rich and fragrant, with the fragrance of vegetables. This requires a precise grasp and control of the heat and the ratio of water to rice.

Xue Ning’er also cooked porridge for Lin Xiu. Later that day, Lin Xiu ate rice with crusty rice, which was burnt black.

Qin Wan not only cooked delicious porridge, but also the two side dishes she fried tasted good. More than good, her cooking skills were almost as good as the cooks in the Lin Mansion who had been cooking for decades.

She should cook often on weekdays.

In the room, Qin Wan and Lin Xiu sat face to face. She drank a small sip of porridge and then said to Lin Xiu: “When I came here, I found that the door was closed from the inside, but you were not in the mansion.”

Lin Xiu explained: “I occasionally climb over the wall to go out. After all, it is convenient…”

Qin Wan did not ask any more questions. The two ate in silence. The candlelight in the room flickered, casting two shadows on the ground, the same tranquility.

Lin Xiu enjoyed this tranquility.

The life that many men dream of is to return home after a day of hard work and drink a bowl of hot porridge. If there are two side dishes, it would be even better.

Lin Xiu didn’t need a big house or a comfortable life. After he finished his practice, it was enough for him to have a bowl of hot porridge and someone waiting for him at home.

Unfortunately, this person was not his wife.

The two of them finished their meal in silence. Lin Xiu took the initiative to say, “I’ll go wash the dishes.”

Qin Wan stood up, put away his dishes and chopsticks, and said, “Let me do it. This is what I should do in your place.”

Lin Xiu finally helped Qin Wan clean up. Although he took Qin Wan in, he didn’t expect to ask her for anything. He was very happy to have someone to talk to him before going to bed. After

dinner, the two of them watched the moon together in the yard.

Qin Wan suddenly asked Lin Xiu, “How much money can you buy a house like this?”

Lin Xiu said, “Not counting furniture, about 200,000 taels.”

Qin Wan was a little surprised and asked, “So expensive?”

Lin Xiu said, “The house in the East City is a little more expensive. If you buy a house in the West City or the South City, it will be much cheaper, about 10,000 taels. If you buy one in the North City, it will be even cheaper.”

He asked Qin Wan, “Do you want to buy a house?”

Qin Wan said, “It’s too expensive. I can’t afford it.”

Lin Xiu said, “You are a woman, you don’t have to buy it yourself. When you get married in the future, won’t you have to worry about the house?”

It has been like this since ancient times. People generally believe that the material life after marriage should be guaranteed by men. Girls only need to be beautiful. With Qin Wan’s beauty, as long as she is willing, she can marry into a big house with ten entrances.

Of course, there are also some women who have a very high sense of self-reliance and self-improvement. They don’t have to marry into a wealthy family, they can create a wealthy family themselves.

Qin Wan said, “Why do

you want to get married?” Lin Xiu was surprised and said, “Aren’t you going to get married?”

Qin Wan looked at him and asked, “What’s good about getting married? You’re married too. Are you doing well?”

Lin Xiu was silent.

After a while, he said, “You are different from me. You are not bound by an engagement. There are so many people in the capital who like you. Why don’t you just choose the one you like?”

Qin Wan smiled with a hint of sarcasm and said, “They, they just like my face. If they really asked them to marry the daughter of a second-class concubine, would they be willing?”

She was not unreasonable.

In this world, it is very important to be well-matched. Although Qin Wan is beautiful, she is of a low birth. For the children of those big families, such a person can be played with, but if they really marry her home, they will be laughed at by other families.

After all, the richer the family, the more they value birth. Those powerful children are not like Lin Xiu. He never looks at the birth of girls. There are not many people as noble as him in the capital.

Lin Xiu could only comfort her: “Maybe, there will be someone who really likes you and doesn’t care about these…”

Qin Wan glanced at him indifferently and asked: “Do you care?”

Lin Xiu shook her head and said: “I don’t care.”

Qin Wan said: “Because you are just lustful.”

“…”

Lin Xiu was silent for a long time before saying to Qin Wan: “Is this the impression of me in your heart?”

Qin Wan thought for a while and said: “Not entirely, in addition to being lustful, you are also very gentle, gentle to Xue Ning’er and Zhao Lingyin. You always leave the pain to yourself and leave the happiness to Zhao Lingyin. You are really gentle to her. However, the person you like is right in front of you, but you can only say the four words “I like you” in a joking way. This feeling should be very uncomfortable, right?” Lin Xiu

continued to be silent.

Qin Wan looked at Lin Xiu and said slowly: “The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but she is standing in front of you, but you can only marry her sister…”

Lin Xiu was silent for a longer time this time.

He kindly took in the homeless her, and this is how she repays her?

After a long time, he looked at Qin Wan and said, “If you were a mute, you would be more likable…”

Qin Wan has many advantages.

She is beautiful, sexy, capable, and a good cook.

But she also has a biggest disadvantage.

She has a big mouth.
