Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 211

[Chapter 211 Great Value for Money]

The next morning, while eating, Lin Xiu was still immersed in Qin Wan’s cooking.

It must be said that the home-cooked dishes she cooked really suited his appetite.

Of course, her other cooking skills also made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

Lin Xiu has always been the active party towards Cai Yi Ning’er.

But facing Qin Wan, Lin Xiu is always very passive.

In terms of rank, Lin Xiu is confident that he is not inferior to Qin Wan. He knows that Qin Wan is making him addicted to her step by step. His mind is very clear, but his body is also very honest.

Who can refuse Qin Wan’s cooking skills?

What’s more, it’s free.

Last night, after Qin Wan’s exquisite cooking skills, Lin Xiu took her to practice martial arts together.

Compared with strange arts, her martial arts are really not good enough.

At a certain distance, she is invincible at the same level, but as long as she is close, she has no ability to protect herself.

When in Ningshan Mansion, Lin Xiu decided to come back and help her improve her martial arts.

It is good to practice martial arts more. At least her wrist will not be so tired in the future.

When Qin Wan was tired, Lin Xiu let her lie on the bed and massaged her sore muscles, secretly using the power of healing to help her recover.

When Qin Wan was amazed at the effectiveness of his massage, Lin Xiu attributed it to the ancient massage he learned from the Imperial Hospital.

After breakfast, he and Qin Wan went to the Yishu Academy together to explain the task process to the dean.

It was certainly not their fault that they did not find the rebels of the Tiandao League. The dean encouraged them and said, “There are only two months left before the small competition. During this time, you must work hard to practice and strive to get a good ranking in the small competition. This will also be good for your big competition next year.” There will be a

total of one thousand places for the big competition of various countries eight months later.

Among them, the Great Xia Dynasty and its neighboring countries account for a total of two hundred.

These two hundred places need to be obtained through the small competition. Those who rank high in the small competition will also rank high in the big competition. This ranking is related to the opponents they will face in the first round of the big competition.

In order to avoid the strong from meeting the strong at the beginning, the arrangement at the beginning of the competition must be that the strong will face the weak.

If you lose the small competition and rank low, then in the big competition you will meet the geniuses of various countries, and you will probably be eliminated in the first round. So even if it is a small competition, you must try your best to strive for a high ranking.

After saying goodbye to the dean, Qin Wan went to her courtyard to practice. Lin Xiu also practiced until noon, and then walked towards the harem.

Last night, when he came out of Xue’s house, it was already late, and he could only go to the harem during the day.

Lin Xiu unexpectedly met the prince on the road, but the prince did not see him, but just walked with his head down, mumbling something in his mouth.

Lin Xiu used the sound technique to eavesdrop on a few words, and vaguely heard that he was cursing.

“Damn Li Xiaoyao!”

“Don’t fall into my hands!”

“If you fall into my hands, I will make you wish you were dead!”

…

It seems that Jin Tai has passed the news back. Someone is finally responsible for Zhang Jing’s death. At this time, it is not difficult for the prince to associate the theft of the East Palace and the robbery of his batch of Shenxian powder with this Li Xiaoyao.

In this way, he and the Zhang family may hate the Tiandao League even more.

Speaking of which, Lin Xiu’s actions have made the Tiandao League take the blame.

If he hadn’t completely angered the Zhang family, the Zhang family might not have taken action against them at this gathering. After a big detour, the root of the problem is still here.

After arriving at Changchun Palace, the exquisite little maid told Lin Xiu that the imperial concubine was taking a nap.

Lin Xiu waited in the yard. After a while, Shuangshuang came in from outside. When she saw Lin Xiu, her face showed joy. She walked up quickly and said, “Brother Lin, you are back…”

Lin Xiu looked at the packets of medicine in her hand and asked, “Is the queen sick?”

Shuangshuang said, “Other things are fine, but these days, she has some insomnia and difficulty sleeping. Every night, she needs my help to fall asleep. These are some medicinal herbs for calming the mind

and replenishing qi. They are used to make medicinal food for the queen.” Lin Xiu knew the situation of the imperial concubine very well, but there was no better way. The only thing he could do was to visit her more often and make her happy.

The two talked in the yard for a while, and the imperial concubine woke up.

When she woke up from her nap, she looked tired and her eyes were a little dull, but when she saw a figure sitting in the courtyard of Changchun Palace, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

The heart that was originally a little empty seemed to be filled with something at this moment.

After a while, Lin Xiu held the little one in her arms, and stood in the palace with Shuangshuang, quietly watching the Imperial Concubine painting.

The Imperial Concubine was born in a Jiangnan family. She did not awaken any special skills, nor did she need to practice. She had learned music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and embroidery since she was a child. Lin Xiu did not understand painting, but as an outsider, she also felt that her paintings were very artistic.

Only black and white were used to outline the magnificent scenery of the Jiangnan water town.

Although the scenery in Jiangnan is mostly like this, Lin Xiu still recognized that the garden in the corner of the picture was Murong Mansion.

She still had a knot in her heart.

After making an appointment with the Imperial Concubine to leave the palace tomorrow, Lin Xiu left the harem.

After leaving the palace, Lin Xiu did not go home, but came to Nancheng and bought a house here through a pawnshop.

The house here is much cheaper than that in Dongcheng. The six-story house is only 50,000 taels. The shopkeeper of the pawnshop personally took him to see the house and said incessantly: “Sir, you definitely did not make a mistake in buying a house here. Many of the big figures in Dongcheng have also bought villas here. The environment here is quiet and undisturbed. There is green water in front of the door. Look at the weeping willows by the river, which are exactly the same as the water towns in Jiangnan. This area is known as the Little Jiangnan…”

Lin Xiu put away the house deed and the land deed and said, “I plan to renovate this house. I will give you the drawings in the next two days. You can help me find some people to repair it as soon as possible according to the drawings. By then, you will get the benefits.”

The shopkeeper of the pawnshop patted his chest hard and said, “Don’t worry, sir, I will take care of it.”

When Lin Xiu first went to Murong Mansion, he had an idea.

Since he couldn’t bring the imperial concubine back to Murong Mansion, he would build a Murong Mansion for her in the capital.

Last time, he memorized every plant, flower, and stone in Murong Mansion. After returning to Beijing, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but was delayed by the matter of Tiandao League. After returning home

, Lin Xiu drew the overall layout of Murong Mansion based on the picture in his mind.

The architectural styles of Jiangnan and Wangdu are completely different. There are still many places that need to be changed and rebuilt. He may have to prepare this gift for a long time.

When Lin Xiu finished these, it was already evening.

Qin Wan walked to the door, leaned against the door frame, and asked, “The moonlight is beautiful tonight. I made a midnight snack. Do you want a drink?”

Lin Xiu was hungry, so he walked into the yard and sat down with her at the stone table.

She had already fried a few side dishes, and the wine was iced. Last summer, it was hard to find ice in Wangdu, and the price of ice was extremely expensive. In winter, all major shops tried their best to store ice. This summer, ice cubes are not worth much.

A year ago, Lin Xiu was squeezed every day to make money to support his family. A year later, he no longer worried about money.

On a cool night in early summer, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan sat in the yard, drinking wine and looking at the stars and the moon, feeling extremely peaceful and comfortable.

Everything was so beautiful, but it was a pity that Lingyin was not there. Lin Xiu glanced at her room, where the lights had not been on for a long time.

Qin Wan glanced at him and asked, “Why, do you miss her?”

Then, Lingyin’s figure appeared beside Lin Xiu. He stretched out his hand, but his palm just passed through her body.

It would have been better if she didn’t change. When an illusory Lingyin appeared in front of Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu missed her even more.

Since he came to this world, it was the first time he had been separated from her for so long.

I don’t know if she missed him.

Forget it, Lingyin is different from Qin Wan Ning’er. She is a natural straight girl, with only practice and her sister in her heart.

After supper, Lin Xiu came to Lingyin’s room and cleaned her room carefully. Qin Wan walked slowly into the room and said, “One hundred taels, I’ll give you a Zhao Lingyin that you can see and touch.”

Lin Xiu looked back at her and said, “You are asking for too much. It was only ten taels before.”

Qin Wan glanced at him and said, “Don’t worry, my price is fair, I won’t cheat anyone, it’s definitely worth the money.” Lin Xiu

sighed in his heart, if she asked for too much, she would ask for too much. Who gave her this ability?

Although Lin Xiu could also change others into Lingyin’s appearance through disguise, his ability would be exposed. A Ke and Cai Yi knew his ability, but Lin Xiu couldn’t let them change their appearance. No matter how stupid he was, he couldn’t do such a thing.

Only Qin Wan was different. She was not jealous at all, but was very happy.

So he looked at Qin Wan and said, “You change.”

The next moment, the face he had been thinking about appeared in front of him.

Then, she stood on tiptoe, and Lin Xiu felt a soft touch on her lips.

Lin Xiu opened his eyes wide, with only one thought in his mind.

At this moment, Lin Xiu finally understood the meaning of great value for money.

It was a bit expensive, but it was really worth it.
