Don’t Show the Son

More than half a month ago, Lin Xiu could only hold on for a quarter of an hour on the Xuanbing bed.

It has only been more than half a month now, and he can actually persist for more than two quarters of an hour. This kind of practice speed is already a bit shocking. You must know that Zhao Lingyin himself can persist on this Xuanbing bed for a period of time from a quarter of an hour to two For a quarter of an hour, it took a full three months.

This is not a normal behavior of a person whose ability has just awakened for the second time.

Lin Xiu opened her eyes, looked at her puzzled expression, and asked, "Isn't it good to last?"

Zhao Lingyin thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Aren't you secretly practicing behind my back?"

Lin Xiu said unhappily: "You exhaust me every day, do you think I still have time to practice by myself?"

Zhao Lingyin was puzzled and said, "Then how did your Yuanli grow so fast?"

Lin Xiudao: "In the past half a month, I have used more than 200 yuan crystals of second-order alien beasts, can you be unhappy?"

Zhao Lingyin was slightly taken aback, and then became more puzzled: "Where did you get so much money?"

She is very clear about the situation of the Lin family. If Lin Xiu hadn't made ice for the Yueyue Building, the Lin family would not have been able to survive. Later, Lin Xiu made some money from making ice, and the family's situation improved, but Not that good.

More than two hundred second-order alien crystals, that is, more than 20,000 silver.

It costs more than 20,000 taels of silver to replace it with the beast Yuanjing to practice. Even today's Zhao family can't do such a luxurious thing.

Lin Xiu explained: "I started a business with my friend, and this is what I earned in the past half a month."

Zhao Lingyin's expression became tense all of a sudden, and she asked, "What kind of business can make so much money in half a month? Did you do something bad?"

She and Lin Xiu are almost a family. If Lin Xiu goes astray, she has the responsibility and obligation to bring him back to the right path.

Lin Xiu said helplessly: "What kind of person am I in your heart... Do you know the newly opened Hongni House at the gate of the palace?"

Zhao Lingyin nodded and said: "I know, isn't that a wine shop? It is said that the wine sold there is very good. My father always wanted to buy it, but every time he went there, he was told that it was sold out. He was depressed for a while..."

Lin Xiu asked unexpectedly: "Is your father-in-law also good at wine?"

Although this appellation made Zhao Lingyin feel weird, but it was a matter of time before he and his sister got married, and this appellation was correct. Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, "It's not a good drink, but he likes to have a drink before going to bed. Recently, the wine in that shop is loved by the rich and powerful, and he also heard it from others."

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, you will go back to the Lin Mansion with me first, and bring two altars with you when you go back."

Only then did Zhao Lingyin realize something, looked at Lin Xiu unexpectedly, and asked, "You run that restaurant?"

Lin Xiudao: "My friend and I opened it together."

Zhao Lingyin was even more puzzled: "But isn't that the property of Prince Qin's Mansion?"

She doesn't care about these things on weekdays, but her father mentioned it many times during meals, and she also took it to heart. In this industry, the price of the wine sold is extremely expensive, often tens of hundreds of taels of silver, which can be called a sky-high price, but the rich and powerful in the royal capital are still scrambling to buy it. The Zhao family in the first-class Hou's mansion would not be unable to buy even a jar of wine.

Everyone knows that Hongniju is making money every day, but because it is the property of Prince Qin's mansion, no one dares to think otherwise. Zhao Lingyin doesn't know that this shop is also related to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyin and explained, "That friend of mine is King Qin."

Zhao Lingyin was taken aback: "When did you know King Qin?"

Lin Xiudao: "Speaking of which, you also know him. That was the one standing beside me in Chongwen Hall on the opening day."

Although Zhao Lingyin had heard the name of King Qin, she had never met him. She was a little surprised that Lin Xiuneng and King Qin became friends, but she finally knew where the money he bought Yuanjing came from.

Since Lin Xiu didn't do crooked ways to make money, she couldn't say anything. After the practice, she and Lin Xiu went to Lin Mansion first, took two jars of wine, and then returned to Zhao's house.

Zhao Mansion.

Marquis Wu An looked at the two altars of fine wine in front of him, and said in amazement: "This wine is called Immortal Drunk. It only sells a hundred altars a month, and it has already been sold out. Zheng Guogong asked for a jar at double the price a few days ago. There is no result, Lingyin, where did your two jars of wine come from..."

Zhao Lingyin replied, "It's from Lin Xiu."

Without waiting for her father to ask, she explained again: "The restaurant at the gate of the palace is jointly opened by Lin Xiu and King Qin. He heard that you couldn't buy it, so he asked me to bring back two jars."

Marquis Wu An was also surprised for a long time when he heard the news.

Qin Wang is a relatively low-key one among the princes. He has always lived in seclusion and did not participate in court affairs. How could Lin Xiu become friends with him, and even opened a restaurant together. This kind of relationship is not like ordinary friends.

He asked his daughter, "Are Lin Xiu and King Qin on good terms?"

Zhao Lingyin originally wanted to say that the two had similar tastes, but considering that it was in front of his father, he changed his mind and said: "King Qin hid his identity and entered the Academy of Different Arts. The two met at that time, and the relationship is not bad."

Marquis Wu An said: "He seems to be different from before. In the past, he was withdrawn and rarely even stepped out of the house, not to mention making friends. Now he has become a close friend with the King of Qin. Moreover, Uncle Ping'an was promoted from the third-class uncle. The second-class uncle, it seems that it is also because of him, how can people change so much in such a short period of time, could it be that he was always enduring and dormant before?"

Thinking of Lin Xiu's actions during this period, Zhao Lingyin's eyes drifted a little. Lin Xiu's changes were so great that sometimes she couldn't understand them.

The main thing is that I still don't understand whether he is good or not.

Let's say he is not lustful, he is surrounded by beauties, not to mention that he often went to the theater to find that opera singer, and was bumped into her face to moles that beautiful female imperial doctor, the worst thing is, he always flirts with Xue Ning'er of……

But he is lustful... Zhao Lingyin could see that Lin Xiu was very resistant to this marriage with the Zhao family, and it wasn't because of the two assassinations, he had already expressed his intention to cancel the engagement before this incident happened .

Wang Du wants to marry Zhao Lingjun, I don't know how many people, but the one who has a marriage contract with her, treats her with the most disdain, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.

Lin Fu.

Not long after sending Lingyin away, there was thunder in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Passers-by on the street were in a hurry, obviously wanting to hurry home as soon as possible, but Lin Xiu and Sun Dali went out. After the identities of the two spies were discovered, they simply stopped hiding and followed them not far or near. Lin Xiu behind to protect.

Not long after, at the gate of Ewha Garden.

Lin Xiu said to Sun Dali: "You go back first, and pick me up after an hour."

Sun Dali said: "I'll just listen to the play below, if the young master is ready, just call me."

The old beggar leaned against the corner of the theater building, and the middle-aged tea sellers also placed the tea stalls there. They were very responsible for protecting Lin Xiu's safety.

After entering the Pear Blossom Garden, Lin Xiu went directly to Caiyi's room on the second floor.

When Caiyi saw Lin Xiu, he said unexpectedly, "It's going to rain soon, why did you come here?"

Lin Xiu turned around and closed the door, and whispered, "I need you to do me a favor, do you have any men's clothes here?"

Caiyi nodded, and said: "There is one, it is the costume I wore when I played the role of Xiaosheng, do you want to use it, my lord?"

"Great!" Lin Xiu said immediately, "Lend me your dress..."

Caiyi opened the closet and turned out the man's shirt, which still smelled of her daughter's home. Lin Xiu took the screen and changed it. When she came out, she saw Caiyi's puzzled eyes and explained, "I'm going to Do one thing, but don't want people to know, don't let anyone know that I'm not in your room."

After speaking, he walked to the window, opened it, jumped down, and landed firmly in the backyard.

Caiyi walked quickly to the window and whispered: "My lord, be careful..."

When the figure in Tsing Yi walked out from the back door of the Ewha Garden, he had already turned into a mediocre young man. The young man walked to the main street through the side alley, and the old beggars and shopkeepers chatting at the entrance of the alley did not find anything unusual.

king capital.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning danced wildly in the clouds. This was a harbinger of heavy rain. Pedestrians hurried home, and the streets soon became empty.

In the east city, in a certain Gaomen mansion, thunder would fall from time to time, and the surrounding dignitaries had long been accustomed to this.

That is Prince Qin's Mansion, and His Highness King Qin's awakened magical ability is Thunder. Therefore, whenever there is a thunderstorm, this wonderful scene will appear in Prince Qin's Mansion. It is not surprising that the neighbors around have seen it a lot. up.

In the deepest part of Prince Qin's Mansion, that quiet courtyard.

Li Baizhang sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and thunderbolts fell from the sky, landing on him one after another.

Ordinary people would probably die on the spot if they were struck by the lightning, but Li Baizhang remained calm, and even his clothes didn't change.

At the same time, in a mountain outside the city.

A figure was sitting naked under the tree, with silver light flowing all over his body. He opened his eyes, and even in both eyes, there were lightning flashes.

Lin Xiu never thought that being struck by lightning is such a comfortable thing. Every lightning strike on his body will be transformed into pure energy and merged into his body. It's been more than half a month of his practice.

Not only that, but he can also clearly feel that after each thunderstorm, his body will become stronger. This kind of strength is not muscle growth, but the strength that each muscle can produce is gradually increasing.

Lin Xiu himself is able to transform Yuanli into strength. If his body is continuously strengthened, his martial arts strength may grow faster. In close combat, he can easily defeat a magician whose Yuanli is much deeper than him.

What's more, coupled with the unstoppable ability of strange magic, as long as he is a different magician or warrior below the ground level, he has a chance to fight back.

Of course, Lin Xiu still had no hope for a fair fight head-on.

Lingyin and Princess Minghe are both at the upper level of the Mysterious Rank, and they also have good martial arts cultivation. Lin Xiu can clearly see the gap with them.

Every time there was thunder, it didn't last too long. After a while, the sky stopped thundering. Lin Xiu changed his clothes and ran all the way down the mountain. By the time he entered the city, it was already raining heavily.

At the speed he was running, it was naturally impossible to open an umbrella, and his clothes were soaked by the rain in no time.

Ewha Garden.

Caiyi sat by the bed, looking at the rain outside the window, silently worried for Lin Xiu.

I don't know what the young master is going to do, and he has to hide his identity. It's raining so hard outside, and he hasn't brought an umbrella when he goes out. What if he gets wet...

Just when he was flustered, a figure had turned in from the window.

Lin Xiu's body was soaked, and she said to Caiyi apologetically, "Sorry, I got your clothes wet."

Caiyi hurried forward, took off Lin Xiu's drenched outer shirt, and said, "My lord, change your clothes quickly, you'll catch a cold..."

Caiyi took out Lin Xiu's clothes, and the coat could be changed into, but Lin Xiu's clothes inside were also soaked, so if she put it on like this, the coat would get soaked soon.

Fortunately, Caiyi is an actress, nothing else, there are many costumes, and soon, she found an inner garment in the closet, and she handed it to Lin Xiu, saying: "This is what I wore before, Young Master, you can make do with it and put it back on, and leave your clothes here, I will wash them and dry them, and Young Master will come to pick them up next time."

Lin Xiu had no other choice but to change into her clothes first. Caiyi blushed slightly. Although this underwear was a man's style, she wore it close to her body, and she suddenly felt shy.

Lin Xiu didn't think too much about it. He was still comfortable in dry clothes. After changing his clothes behind the screen, he went out and told Caiyi, "Don't tell anyone what happened today."

Caiyi nodded immediately, and said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I won't tell anyone."

When Lin Xiu walked to the first floor, he found that Sun Dali had fallen asleep. He patted Sun Dali on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."

Sun Dali rubbed his sleepy eyes, and walked out of the Lihuayuan with Lin Xiu, because he couldn't be too far away from the two detectives, so he rarely used a carriage when he went out now.

When going out, Sun Dali prepared two umbrellas. The rain was still heavy at this time. Lin Xiu walked back holding the umbrella and saw many pedestrians sheltering from the rain under the eaves of the street. Caught a lot of people off guard.

When she reached a street corner, Lin Xiu paused and looked forward.

Under the eaves of a house on the side of the street, there was a woman standing, probably hiding from the rain.

The woman has a slender figure and a very beautiful appearance, with black eyebrows and a nose. The most striking thing is her pair of peach blossom eyes and a small tear mole at the outer corner of her right eye.

Her clothes have been soaked a lot, and they are tightly attached to her body, making her even more exquisite. Because of the cold, standing under the eaves, she hugged her arms tightly to her chest, holding the top-quality The figure is more prominent.

Lin Xiu knew this woman.

Specifically, he saw it once.

This woman is Qin Wan.

Qin Wan, as one of the four beauties of the School of Different Arts, Lin Xiu, Li Baizhang, and even Yang Xuan, all gave her great praise. Although Lingyin is his sister-in-law, besides the mother of this world, she is also a The woman with the most important status in her heart can make Lin Xiu feel her conscience and say that Qin Wan deserves to be the number one beauty in the School of Abnormal Arts.

The beauty of this woman is not only in appearance.

Her body exudes a kind of coquettishness from the inside out, which can easily arouse the most primitive desire and impulse in a man's heart.

At this moment, the way she hugged her shoulders and shivered under the eaves because her clothes were wet by the rain made people feel pity. Even Lin Xiu, who had been tempered in her heart for a moment, also felt There was an urge to hold her in his arms.

Of course, this impulsiveness was only fleeting. After all, it was a person who had gone through a lot of wind and waves. Lin Xiu was very determined in this regard.

He walked over slowly, put away the paper umbrella in his hand, held the umbrella body, handed the direction of the umbrella handle to Qin Wan, and said: "Miss Wan'er, did you forget to bring your umbrella? I'll be home soon, this umbrella lend you."

Qin Wan looked at Lin Xiu, and after a moment, she nodded slightly, took the umbrella, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Xiu said unexpectedly, "Miss Wan'er knows me?"

Qin Wan smiled slightly and said, "How could Miss Zhao's fiancé not know him? Besides, Young Master Lin probably doesn't know that you are well-known in the college, especially among the female classmates..."

Lin Xiu just smiled, and said, "It's cold outside, Miss Wan'er, please go home quickly, I'll go home first too."

After all, Lin Xiu didn't say a word, turned and left.

If according to his previous temperament, he would definitely stay if he met this kind of beauty. The girl was soaked by the rain, standing under the eaves and shivering from the cold. Escort her home, let alone teach her...

But Lingyin said that Qin Wan was dangerous and told her not to approach, so Lin Xiu just politely gave her an umbrella.

He still listens to Lingyin's words.

Lin Xiu's behavior also surprised Qin Wan.

She originally thought that Lin Xiu would stay and take the opportunity to approach her, and even made plans to reject his gift of clothes, but she didn't expect that he just gave her an umbrella and left without saying a word to her at all.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Wan raised her head and said, "Young Master Lin."

Lin Xiu turned her head and asked, "Miss Wan'er, is there anything else?"

Qin Wan said apologetically, "Young Master Lin, can you lend me some money, I will pay you back tomorrow when I go to the School of Different Arts."

Without hesitation, Lin Xiu took out a bank note from her sleeve, handed it to her, and asked, "Is one hundred taels enough?"

Qin Wan shook her head and said, "It doesn't need to be so much, just a few pieces of silver will do."

Lin Xiu said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this is already the lowest denomination bank note in my possession..."

It's really not Lin Xiuzhuang. Silver tickets are much more convenient than silver. Lin Xiu used to put broken silver in his belt or sleeve pockets, but he would always hurt himself if he didn't pay attention. Every time he went to buy Yuanjing, it was a transaction of thousands of taels of silver, and it was impossible to use cash, so what he carried with him now were all large-denomination bank notes.

There were ten taels and twenty taels in small denominations before, but they happened to be used up today.

He still looted two taels of silver from Sun Dali before lending it to Qin Wan.

Afterwards, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan separated, and when they passed by a small noodle shop by the side of the road, they were attracted by the smell coming from the shop, so they couldn't resist going in and said, "Here's a bowl of noodles."

I have to say that the food in the big restaurant is delicious, but some small roadside restaurants are also good. Anyone who can open a store in a place like Wangdu and keep it open for a long time is not a bit of a real skill.

This is not the core area of ​​Dongcheng, and most of the people living around it are civilians. The tables and chairs in this small shop are old, and the walls are not newly painted. It can be seen that it has been open for many years.

Judging from these, the noodles of this restaurant are delicious.

Lin Xiu was born and grew up in the north, and has a deep-rooted attachment to pasta.

The shop owner quickly brought up a bowl of steaming noodle soup. Lin Xiu smelled the aroma and her appetite whetted her appetite. She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste it. The noodles were very thin without losing their toughness. The soup was mushroom soup, which was very delicious. It was cooked carefully, Lin Xiu raised her head and asked the boss, "Boss, did you put a lot of effort into this soup?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Young master is indeed a knowledgeable person. This soup is made with 18 kinds of mushrooms. Each pot needs to be boiled for three hours. It takes a lot of effort..."

Lin Xiu was chatting with the boss when a figure walked into the shop and said, "Shopkeeper, come for a bowl of noodles."

Lin Xiu turned her head and met Qin Wan's eyes, both of them were surprised.

The epidemic around me is getting more and more serious, and I am a little panicked. If there is no update someday, it may be that I was pulled into isolation...
