Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 19
[Chapter 19 Thank you!]
He practices diligently, is frugal, kind-hearted, just, responsible and responsible.
This is Zhao Lingyin’s evaluation of Lin Xiu after such a long contact.
His hard work in practice is what she has experienced personally.
In the royal capital, other dandies eat at Tianxiang Tower, Zhaiyue Tower, etc., with all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies, delicious wines, and a meal can easily cost several taels or even dozens of taels of silver. He eats three cents a bowl of plain noodles, which shows that he is frugal.
As for him inviting beggars to dinner and giving silver to the woman without any doubt, it is not that he is wasteful, but it just shows that he is kind-hearted.
The Qingli Division seeks justice for the people and is not afraid of power, which shows that he is just. Zhaiyue Tower puts down his status to make money to support his family, which reflects his responsibility and commitment.
There is another point that Zhao Lingyin did not say, that is, Lin Xiu’s shortcomings. In addition to awakening his skills a little late, he is also a little lustful, but in Zhao Lingyin’s view, this is not a problem.
As long as he has seen his sister, there will be no other women in his eyes.
She has such confidence.

The middle-aged man dropped his chopsticks on the table. His daughter’s evaluation of Lin Xiu surprised him greatly. He had never heard such an evaluation from her.
After Zhao Lingyin made her evaluation of Lin Xiu, she explained each point again.
The middle-aged man picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then smiled: “It seems that Lin Ting has taught a good son. Such a person is very rare among the children of the rich and powerful in the royal capital.” Zhao
Lingyin looked at him and asked: “So, father, are you going to abide by the marriage contract?”
The middle-aged man nodded and said: “Originally, I thought that if Lin Xiu was like the other dandies in the royal capital, his character was so bad that I would cancel the marriage contract even if it meant losing the reputation of the Zhao family. But from what you said, his character is so noble, how can our Zhao family go back on its word?”
Zhao Lingyin did not say anything else. Originally, she was strongly opposed to this marriage contract.
She knew most of the rich and powerful sons in the capital. She thought none of them was worthy of her sister, but as a woman, no matter how talented she was or how noble her status was, she would eventually get married.
If she had to choose one of all the men she knew, it would be Lin Xiu.
She had seen his character. Even if his talent for cultivation was a little poor, as long as she urged him more, his final achievement would not be too bad.
After deep thought, the middle-aged man stood up and said to Zhao Lingyin, “In that case, come with me to the Lin family.”
…
Lin Xiu and Sun Dali walked around the street for two hours, doing a lot of things and buying a lot of things.
He used to be very resistant to shopping. It was a helpless act to accompany girls shopping. If he did not satisfy their desire to shop, they would not discuss life with him in depth.
But if he took the initiative to go shopping, the feeling would be completely different.
He bought a jade pipe for the doorman Lao Huang, a gold hairpin for A Yue, two rolls of fine silk cloth for the cook Aunt Wang, and even Sun Dali got a pair of fine steel arm guards.
When the Lin Mansion was at its most destitute, everyone who insisted on staying was his family. Naturally, he had to be more attentive to his family, so Lin Xiu prepared gifts for each of them. It
was already afternoon when Lin Xiu and Sun Dali returned to the mansion.
As soon as he walked into the house, he saw several figures walking out of the room. Two of them were Ping An Bo and Ping An Bo’s wife, and the other two were Zhao Lingyin, and the last one was a middle-aged man.
The man was about the same age as his father, Ping An Bo. He looked gentle and kind, and there was a familiar feeling between his eyebrows. When
Ping An Bo saw Lin Xiu, he hurriedly said, “Xiu’er is back, why don’t you come up and meet your uncle Zhao.”
Lin Xiu instantly guessed the identity of the middle-aged man, and his heart was filled with joy. Could it be that the Zhao family came to cancel the engagement? This was really great. He couldn’t wait to gallop on his horse!
Lin Xiu strode forward and said to the middle-aged man, “Hello, Uncle Zhao.”
The middle-aged man looked at him with admiration and nodded, “Not bad.”
He didn’t say much, but smiled and said to the Earl of Ping’an and his wife, “We’ll go back first and visit again another day.” The
Earl of Ping’an and his wife sent the middle-aged man out of the Lin Mansion. Lin Xiu was so happy that he stood there in a daze. The upturned corners of his mouth showed that he was in a very happy mood at the moment.
Finally, this troublesome marriage is finally over. From now on, no one can stop him from galloping on his horse!
Zhao Lingyin looked at him and asked lightly, “Are you happy?”
Lin Xiu couldn’t hide his excitement and said, “Of course, you don’t have to feel any burden. I don’t blame you at all. Although the engagement is cancelled, we are still friends…”
Zhao Lingyin frowned: “What do you mean by canceled engagement? Why cancel it?”
Lin Xiu looked at her frowning brows, and suddenly a bad feeling surged in her heart, and asked: “Why did you come here today?”
Zhao Lingyin said: “For your marriage with my sister. My sister is not in the capital now. When she comes back, you should get married.”
It was as if thunder exploded in her ears, and Lin Xiu’s mind went blank.
“What, what…”
Zhao Lingyin looked at him and asked, “Don’t you want to?”
Lin Xiu remembered the last time he said he didn’t want to and was pressed against the wall by her. He swallowed and asked in great confusion, “No, I’m just curious. Your sister is so outstanding. She can marry a prince or even a prince. Why did you choose me…”
Hearing Lin Xiu mention those people, Zhao Lingyin glanced at the corner of his mouth, not hiding the disdain in his eyes, and said, “They are not worthy.”
Lin Xiu was very puzzled: “Am I worthy?”
Seeing Zhao Lingyin looking at him with strange eyes, Lin Xiu realized that what he said just now was indeed a bit mean, and explained, “I mean, my family has fallen, and I am not worthy of you…”
Zhao Lingyin said, “These are not important.”
Lin Xiu asked helplessly, “Then what is important?”
Zhao Lingyin said, “You are a good person, and you have passed my test.”
“…”
Lin Xiu didn’t expect that he would be given the good guy card one day. He asked in confusion, “What test?”
Zhao Lingyin said, “Although your cultivation talent is a little lacking, you practice hard, are frugal, kind-hearted, just, responsible, and can be considered a good person.”
Lin Xiu was surprised.
He didn’t expect Lingyin’s evaluation of him was so high. She understood him, she really understood him!
Lin Xiu blushed and said embarrassedly: “Thank you, thank you. I just did something insignificant…”
Zhao Lingyin looked at him and said, “It’s insignificant to you, but not to them. If you hadn’t stood up, the girl who died in vain would have suffered an unjust accusation after her death.” Lin Xiu
explained: “Someone has to stand up. I just can’t stand it…”
Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, “And that woman, if it weren’t for you, the child would be in danger of life.”
Lin Xiu said, “It’s just a few taels of silver. I make money easily. Even if I was cheated, I didn’t lose much. A few taels of silver may save a life, which is also quite worthwhile.”
Zhao Lingyin said again: “There is something I don’t understand.”
“What is it?”
“Why do you eat three cents a bowl of plain noodles yourself, but are willing to spend a few taels of silver to treat beggars to a meal?”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “Their lives are muddled and hopeless. Isn’t it interesting to give them an unexpected surprise occasionally?”
Zhao Lingyin was speechless for a moment and could only say, “You are such a strange person.”
Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin, smiling, and his heart was full of joy.
In this strange world, it must be said that it is a blessing to have someone who understands him so well.
It’s a pity that she is a woman. If he were a man, Lin Xiu would definitely swear brotherhood with him and take her as a confidant in life.
But soon Lin Xiu was no longer happy. He stared at Zhao Lingyin and asked, “Is this the reason why the Zhao family is willing to marry your sister to me?”
Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and said, “Otherwise, you should thank me. If it weren’t for me, my father would have planned to cancel the engagement.”
Lin Xiu looked at her, the smile on her face was uglier than crying, and gritted his teeth and said, “Thank you…”
It’s so late, I haven’t slept yet, typing, what about you…
