Don’t Show the Son

Lin Xiu lay limp on the bed, Chen Ke walked to the bed and asked Lin Xiu, "Are you okay?"

Lin Xiu said weakly: "It's okay, just rest for the night... Do you have somewhere to go at night?"

Chen Ke said: "No, for us people, the sky is the quilt and the ground is the bed. It doesn't matter where we sleep."

Lin Xiudao: "If you don't mind, you can sleep here. You sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the floor."

Chen Ke shook his head and said, "You are so weak, you should sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

Lin Xiu lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

One reason is that he slept enough at Caiyi's place today, and now he doesn't feel sleepy.

Another more important reason is that as soon as he closes his eyes, a round and white moon will appear in his mind.

Sometimes, having a photographic memory isn't all a good thing.

At night, it's hard.

Lin Xiu couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and she didn't even dare to close her eyes.

In the room, the other person couldn't sleep either.

Chen Ke put her hands behind her head, opened her eyes, and looked at the roof above, without any sleepiness.

Why are the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes informal, how can there be such an informal woman?

It's just that she can't help it.

In order to save her, Lin Xiu stood guard outside the mansion of the powerful in the freezing weather, risking her life, and was even chased and killed by a strong man...

Later, she had no choice but to take off her clothes. In order to save her life, how could she blame him?

That is not an act of chivalry.

So she could only pretend not to care.

As for what happened tonight, she actually thought about it for a whole day.

She really wanted to get rid of those scars on her body, but when she thought of going through what happened last night again while she was sober, she felt ashamed.

The reason why she made up her mind later was that, as she had said to Lin Xiu, the first time had happened anyway, and the second time would not be so difficult to accept.

Of course, a very important reason was because of Lin Xiu.

When he was still very weak, he did not hesitate to offend the powerful, avenged the innocent woman who died in vain, and killed the son of the powerful for the sake of a woman in a brothel. He is also a powerful, but he always thinks of the people.

He is just like her.

It's just that, in just a few days, she met a man naked with a man she had only met a few times. When she recalled it now, she still felt like she was dreaming.

It's really like a dream.

An extremely absurd dream that she had never imagined before.

There was movement on the bed, and Chen Ke asked, "Why don't you sleep?"

Lin Xiudao: "I can't sleep."

She was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why did you take such a big risk to save me?"

Lin Xiu said without much hesitation, "Because you are a good person."

A Ke once said this to him, and now that Lin Xiu returned it to her, this was indeed the reason why he saved her.

There are many bad people, and good people are rare. There are always some people, even if they risk their own lives, in order to eliminate the injustice in the world, they should be respected and rewarded.

Lin Xiu is not as selfless and fearless as A Ke, so he admires them even more.

...

Lin Xiu didn't know when he fell asleep yesterday.

When he woke up, it was already bright, and A Ke was no longer in the room.

She always comes and goes without a trace.

As if feeling something, Lin Xiu lifted the quilt, looked down, and then sighed helplessly.

The young man's body is full of vigor, and he will probably suffer for a few more days.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Ping'an took the maids and maids of the mansion out to buy new year's goods. After Lin Xiu washed up, she also left the house quickly.

Under Li Baizhang's active preparation, Ningxiangzhai officially opened today.

When Lin Xiu came to the shop, she found that there was already a long queue outside the shop, most of them were maids from various powerful houses, and some ladies even came to line up in person.

These are of course Xue Ning'er's credit.

As the proprietress of the shop, she mobilized her contacts a few days ago and held an "Incense Appreciation Party" in Xue's Mansion. She invited ladies from various families in the capital and gave each of them a gift. A sample of the perfume.

Before Ningxiangzhai opened, it had already set off a frenzy in the circle of ladies and ladies in the capital.

There are so many people queuing up to buy a bottle of perfume for one hundred taels of silver. Lin Xiu underestimated the purchasing power of women, and also underestimated the rich people in the capital.

Opposite Ningxiangzhai is a tea house.

At this time, on the second floor of the tea house, in the Accord opposite to Ningxiangzhai, Li Baizhang stood in front of the window, looked at the crowd below, and couldn't help saying: "This small bottle of perfume, our profit is at least ninety taels. Is it too dark..."

Lin Xiudao: "If you think it's black, you can quit."

Li Baizhang waved his hand and said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

There is a difference between having money and not having money. After a while, he will be able to buy another house in the capital. He has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Not long after, the three of them came down from the teahouse.

At this time, Ningxiangzhai's perfume has been sold out.

Like the fairy drunk in Hongniju, there are countless ladies and ladies in the capital, but the number of perfumes is limited, not everyone can buy them on the first day, and many people return disappointed, thinking Tomorrow, the servants at home must come earlier to line up.

Some people even planned to let the servants start lining up at night.

There were also some young men in the queue who left muttering when they heard the news that the perfume was sold out.

Although they don't need this thing, they can give it to the girl they like as a gift to win their favor.

These few days Wang was very lively, after leaving the teahouse, the three of them strolled casually in the street.

Li Bozhang walked on Lin Xiu's left, Xue Ning'er walked on Lin Xiu's right, Li Bozhang said with emotion: "There are so many rich people in the capital, fine wine of one hundred taels of silver, perfume of one hundred taels of silver, even if it is a workshop for ten dollars a day." Two hours of production is far from enough..."

Lin Xiu looked at the beggars on the street corner ahead and said, "Although there are many rich and powerful who spend a lot of money, there are also many poor people who can't afford to eat."

Outside Ningxiang Pavilion, countless people lined up to buy a small bottle of perfume for one hundred taels of silver.

But across the street, there are still people who are homeless, and even have to rely on other people's charity for food.

Li Baizhang and Xue Ning'er threw a few pieces of broken silver into the bowls of those beggars, which immediately aroused their looting.

Lin Xiu walked up to an old beggar and asked, "Old man, where did you sleep at night?"

The old man didn't expect such a nobleman to talk to him, he stammered, "Sleep, sleep under the bridge hole."

Lin Xiu pretended to be a beggar and slept on the streets of Wangdu two days ago. He knew how cold it was outside at night, and it was not the coldest time of the year. By then, it would be very difficult for an old man like this to survive.

He thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll take you to a place where you can live in the future. Although the place is not very big, it can at least keep out the wind and cold at night."

Lin Xiu was talking about the house she lived in before. After moving to the palace, no one lived in that house, and it was empty. Why don't these beggars have a shelter so that they won't freeze to death this winter.

Xue Ning'er was more thoughtful than Lin Xiu. After guessing Lin Xiu's intentions, she immediately asked the maid following behind to buy a lot of quilts and sent someone to deliver them here.

There are not many rooms in the Lin family's old house. Under normal circumstances, there are not many people to live in, but the beggars are about to freeze to death, so naturally they won't occupy a room each.

The quilts were spread on the floor one by one, and the side rooms and ear rooms were all covered, even if beggars from the entire capital came here, they could still sleep.

After learning that someone provided them with free housing, the beggars spread the word, and a steady stream of beggars came here. They fell to the ground and saluted Lin Xiu and the three together.

"Thank you son and miss for your kindness!"

"You are good people, good people will be rewarded!"

"Blessed by the Bodhisattva, the young master and the young lady will be free from disease and calamity throughout their lives, and live a long and prosperous life..."

...

It was the first time for a good deed to be thanked by so many people. On the way home, Xue Ning'er's mouth was curled up. After sending her home, Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang walked on the street.

Li Baizhang said with emotion: "The king's capital is still like this. I don't know how many homeless people will freeze to death in other prefectures outside the king's capital this winter."

Lin Xiudao: "All the land in the world belongs to the rich and powerful. The people have worked hard for a year, but they can barely feed themselves. What's more, it is difficult to feed themselves. They can only beg for their last breath..."

Li Baizhang looked at Lin Xiu, and said in a low voice, "It's better for us to talk about these words, and don't let outsiders hear them."

He walked beside Lin Xiu, shook his head and said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, this world is dominated by the rich and powerful. They have the most powerful bloodlines, the top powerhouses, and every powerful family has countless different magicians and masters." Warriors are vassals, they rely on them to stop the beast tide, they rely on them to quell the rebellion, and the court needs to rely on their strength to deal with the mainland countries, and their power comes from this."

Lin Xiu actually knew what Li Baizhang said.

Many things in this world are not as simple as black and white.

Because of the existence of the powerful, the lives of the common people are very difficult.

But if there were no dignitaries, the common people might have no life at all.

The royal family is jealous of them, but they cannot live without them.

Unless Daxia has no internal and external troubles, at that time, the existence of powerful and powerful people will be completely unnecessary.

Of course, even at that time, it will not be easy to change things that have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

In the past, Lin Xiu only wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, so that while he could control his own destiny, he could also protect the people he wanted to protect.

Now, his thinking has undergone some changes.

He wants to do more.

For Chen Yu who died, and for more Chen Yu.

Li Baizhang patted Lin Xiu's shoulder and said: "Actually, there were several ancestors who wanted to change all this, but the power of the rich and powerful is too strong, and it has been deeply rooted, and is inseparable from the royal family. If you want to change these, unless you have The strength of the upper realm."

He said with emotion: "If you have the strength of the supreme realm, there is nothing you can't do in this world. What are the few dignitaries in the Great Xia? There are many dynasties in the mainland. Whoever you want to be the emperor can do it." To be emperor..."

Lin Xiu glanced at him and said, "If I have the strength of the Supreme Realm, I will let you be the emperor, let you marry whoever you want, and marry as many as you want."

Li Bozhang was stunned for a moment, then moved, he put his arms around Lin Xiu's shoulders, and said seriously: "I want to be the emperor, and I will marry Xue Ning'er to you first, the two of the Zhao family, which one do you want to marry? You can also marry together, and Miss Wan'er, Miss Wan'er, I will also let you..."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
