Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 199

[Chapter 199 Shuangshuang’s Concerns]

Facing Qin Wan’s resentful eyes, Lin Xiu said with a guilty conscience: “Didn’t you get through this before I was gone?”

Qin Wan looked at him and asked: “Didn’t you get through this before you had a concubine? Can you leave your second wife for a month now?”

Qin Wan’s words made Lin Xiu unable to refute.

There is a saying that goes “You know the taste

after you taste it.” When something is tried for the first time, you want to try it a second time, a third time. This is the case with Lin Xiu, and obviously Qin Wan is the same.

He defended himself: “You can’t blame me for this. I can’t always be by your side. Next time I see Shuangshuang, I’ll ask her to prescribe a prescription for you. After some conditioning, it shouldn’t hurt so much.”

Then, he asked Qin Wan: “Is there anything to eat at home?”

When he was at Xue’s house, he was only concerned with feeding Ning’er, and he hasn’t had dinner yet.

Qin Wan glanced at him and said, “Wait a moment.”

Qin Wan was busy in the kitchen. Lin Xiu came to Lingyin’s room. When Lingyin left, he said he would help her clean the room. The trip to Jiangnan lasted for a month. Lin Xiu thought her room had accumulated a lot of dust, but when he came to her room, he found that whether it was the floor or the table and bed, it was spotless. Obviously, someone cleaned it regularly.

He looked at his own room and A Ke’s room, which were also clean.

Needless to say, this must have been done by Qin Wan.

Among all the women Lin Xiu knew, she was the one who knew how to manage the household the best.

After a while, she brought out a bowl of chicken noodle soup with two poached eggs. Lin Xiu ate it with relish and drank up the soup. He said with emotion, “I’ve been outside for so long, but I still miss the taste of this bowl of noodles…”

Qin Wan sat opposite him, holding her chin with one hand, blinking and looking at him, and said, “This bowl costs ten cents.”

Lin Xiu didn’t take it seriously at all. After all, she owed him ten thousand taels. If she ate a bowl of noodles from her every day, she would never be able to pay it back in her lifetime.

He casually asked, “Have you ever calculated how much silver you still owe me?”

Qin Wan said, “Including the bowl of noodles just now, I have already paid you two hundred and fifty-one taels and three hundred coins.”

Lin Xiu was surprised and said, “So much? Did you calculate it wrong?”

Qin Wan glanced at him indifferently and said, “Do you want me to show you the account book? I remember every account clearly. How many times have I transformed Zhao Lingyin for you…”

Lin Xiu waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no…”

For things like warming the bed, folding the quilt, beating the back and kneading the legs, Qin Wan’s price is very conscientious, ranging from ten coins to dozens of coins at a time, but when it comes to illusions, even if it’s just holding Lingyin’s hand, it will cost one tael of silver.

And it can only be virtual.

If she wants to transform into Lingyin, the price will be more than ten times, and this is just holding hands. On this basis, if she wants to do something else, the price will be even higher.

Lin Xiu thought of something and said to her, “It’s just right. I need you to do me a favor.”

Qin Wan said, “You have to pay me for help. It will be deducted from the money I owe you.”

She really fell into the money, but Lin Xiu didn’t care. He asked, “Have you been to Jiangnan?”

Qin Wan said, “No.”

She grew up in the capital since she was a child, and she may not even be out of the capital. Fortunately, Lin Xiu was prepared. He returned to the room, and then took out a picture of the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan that had been prepared long ago from the space, walked out and handed it to Qin Wan, and said, “Can you conjure up the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in this picture?”

Although Lin Xiu also knows illusion, he can’t do this with his ability.

This requires a meticulous control of mental power.

Moreover, he can’t expose his ability in front of the imperial concubine at present. There are so many spies around her. If people know about it, Lin Xiu will be in big trouble.

Qin Wan looked at the picture of the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and said, “It’s possible, but to transform so many things, it consumes a lot of energy… and the price will be very expensive.”

“How much silver?” “

One hundred taels.”

One hundred taels is indeed very expensive, but when he thought that someone dared to sell a jar of wine or a bottle of perfume for one hundred taels, Lin Xiu felt that this price was still conscientious. If it were him, he might offer a higher price.

Lin Xiu looked at her, nodded, and said, “Deal.”

Lin Xiu had been to Jiangnan. In order to prevent Qin Wan’s illusion from going wrong, he experienced it himself first and gave her some suggestions for modification. Qin Wan was tossed by him until midnight before she went back to her room tiredly to sleep.

Lin Xiu stood in the yard and breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the imperial concubine would like this special gift.

…

The next morning, the imperial concubine came to the new house, and Lin Xiu and Caiyi were already waiting for her there.

Because he had space to store things, Lin Xiu bought a lot of gifts this time. In addition to food, there were also many souvenirs with Jiangnan characteristics.

The Imperial Concubine was holding a round fan with exquisite embroidery. Although these things were available in Changchun Palace, this gift had a different meaning in her heart.

Lin Xiu stepped forward and said, “My Lady, in addition to these, I have a special gift for you.”

The Imperial Concubine’s pretty face showed anticipation, and asked, “What gift?”

Lin Xiu said, “Please close your eyes, my Lady.”

The Imperial Concubine’s expression became even more expectant, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Lin Xiu gave Qin Wan a look, and Qin Wan looked at the Imperial Concubine intently, and at a certain moment, she nodded slightly.

Lin Xiu said, “My Lady, you can open your eyes now.”

The Imperial Concubine opened her eyes, and the expression on her face became confused in the next moment, and then shocked and unbelievable.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the scenery that had only appeared in her dreams over the years.

She was not in Lin Xiu’s yard, but standing on the bow of a black-sailed boat, drifting slowly with the green river. On both sides of the river were narrow bluestone streets, and on both sides of the street, there were white walls and black tiles, which was a familiar place for her.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to Jiangnan.

Lin Xiu saw a smile on the face of the Imperial Concubine that he had never seen before.

But soon, he saw Qin Wan’s face turned pale, her body swayed, and she fell down weakly.

Lin Xiu hurriedly supported her, carried her back to the room, put her on the bed, and said, “Thank you for your hard work, you should have a good rest next time.”

Qin Wan looked at Lin Xiu weakly and said, “Since I’m working so hard, can you add another hundred taels?”

Lin Xiu covered her with a quilt and said helplessly, “Add…”

Qin Wan’s mouth curled up a little, and then she fell asleep.

Lin Xiu walked into the yard, the Imperial Concubine was still standing there in a daze, Linglong and Shuangshuang were puzzled, they didn’t know what happened yet.

The imperial concubine looked at Lin Xiu and murmured, “Just now…, how did you do it?”

Lin Xiu explained, “This is Miss Wan’er’s magical ability. I asked her to create such an illusion for the queen. She has never been to Jiangnan. If there is anything wrong, please don’t blame the queen.”

The imperial concubine smiled slightly, looked at Lin Xiu, and said, “Thank you, this is the best gift I have ever received.”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “You are welcome, queen.”

As long as she likes it, he will give her better gifts in the future.

On the other side, Shuangshuang’s mood is a bit complicated.

Brother Lin really understands the imperial concubine’s heart. He has also put a lot of thought into the imperial concubine. If she were the imperial concubine, I am afraid she would like him too.

Although this is to treat the imperial concubine.

As a doctor, Shuangshuang knows very well that it is actually a disease for a patient to like a doctor.

There have been records of this situation in medical books.

Especially for the Imperial Concubine, her illness is a mental illness. If you want to cure her, you must open her heart. In this process, the patient is likely to develop a special feeling for the doctor who treats her.

If this doctor is young and handsome, and understands her mind, this kind of thing is more likely to happen.

If this happened to someone else, it might be passed down as a good story.

But their identities do not allow them to have anything happen.

Even if the Imperial Concubine is still a perfect virgin, she is also the Imperial Concubine. Both sighed in their hearts, and she didn’t know what to do.

…

When Qin Wan woke up, she didn’t have much strength.

After a while, Lin Xiu came in from outside with a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge. Qin Wan smelled the fragrance and wanted to sit up, but she supported the bed with her arms and fell down weakly.

Lin Xiu walked to the bed, put two pillows behind her, let her lean on the bed, and then said: “Just lie down like this, I’ll feed you, I won’t charge you, thank you very much today.”

Looking at the spoon that Lin Xiu stretched out, Qin Wan opened her mouth, still a little uncomfortable.

No one had ever treated her like this before.

After taking a sip of porridge, she frowned slightly and said, “It’s hot…”

Lin Xiu had to blow it to her lips. When she brought it to Qin Wan’s mouth again, she glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “Is there no saliva in it?”

Lin Xiu put the bowl aside and said unhappily, “Why are you so nosy? Why don’t you wait for it to cool down and eat it yourself?”

Qin Wan opened her mouth: “Ah…”

Lin Xiu picked up the bowl again helplessly. This woman, when she was seducing people, was more charming than a vixen, but now she was like a child. He put the spoon into Qin Wan’s mouth. After she swallowed the porridge, she suddenly laughed and said, “No one has ever fed me before. So this is what it feels like to be fed.”

Lin Xiu said, “If no one fed you, wouldn’t you have starved to death when you were a child?”

Qin Wan said, “I don’t remember what happened at that time. As far as I can remember, I have been eating by myself.”

Many people have fed Lin Xiu before.

In his previous life, when his parents had not divorced, he was also very happy. Later, there were more people who fed him, of course, they were all girls. There was no need to mention the past. In this life, the only ones who would feed him were Caiyi and Ning’er.

In comparison, Qin Wan was indeed more pitiful.

At this time, Qin Wan suddenly said, “You are very good to the imperial concubine.”

Lin Xiu gave her a mouthful of food again and asked, “Am I not good to you? In this life, apart from Caiyi and Ning’er, I have only fed you.”

Qin Wan asked back, “Isn’t it because you are targeting me?”

Lin Xiu asked, “Aren’t you the same?”

The two of them didn’t know each other, and there was no need to beat around the bush.

Qin Wan leaned against the head of the bed and suddenly said, “How about we make a bet?”

Lin Xiu didn’t like to bet on money, but he liked to bet on other things. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “What are you betting on?”

Qin Wan said, “Whether you will get it first or I will get it first.”

“Does it make a difference?”

“Of course it does.”

Lin Xiu asked in confusion, “What’s the difference?”

Qin Wan leaned over and whispered in his ear. Lin Xiu’s face gradually turned red…

Then, he looked at Qin Wan seriously and said, “You’re doomed to lose!”
