Don’t Show the Son

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Lin Xiu came to this world.

It rained a lot last night in the capital, but this morning, the weather became much cooler.

One autumn rain and one cool, after this rain, the weather should never get hot again.

The people of the capital are naturally happy. In the past month, the capital has encountered the scorching heat that has not been seen in decades. Now, they finally don't have to suffer from the heat anymore.

According to the usual practice, Lin Xiu was going to enter the palace today, so he came to the Yueyue Tower early.

This time, instead of asking him to make ice, the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou asked his servants to present a wooden box, and said with a smile: "These days, please trouble your son, this is a hundred taels of silver, it is a kindness from the son-in-law's house , I hope you will accept it with a smile."

Lin Xiu understood what he meant.

The weather has turned cold, and Moon Moon Tower naturally doesn't need him to make ice. The one hundred taels is the final reward.

Lin Xiu simply accepted the one hundred taels and said, "It's a happy cooperation."

The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou said with a smile: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you next year."

Lin Xiu smiled lightly, next year, next year, I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity.

This year's sudden scorching heat caught everyone by surprise, and even the ice storage in the palace was used up early. Except for the moon building, the business of the major shops has been affected to some extent.

In order to avoid a similar situation next year, they will definitely store ice in retaliation this winter, and there will be no shortage of ice sources next year.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu took stock of what she had gained in the past month.

A month ago, the Lin family had fallen to the point where the mistress had to pawn their jewelry in order to maintain their daily life. Now, there are almost ten thousand taels of silver in the box.

This is what Lin Xiu earned this month.

Ten thousand taels is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but it is not worth mentioning for the top dignitaries of the capital. This amount of money can only afford a small courtyard in the prosperous area of ​​the capital.

Zhou Yun called Lin Xiu aside, thought for a while, and said, "Xiu'er, mother and your father discussed it and planned to buy you a yard in Dongcheng. Officials, it's more convenient."

The place where the Lin family lived was far away from the imperial palace, even if they took a carriage, it would take a long time.

Not only that, the XC area is far away from the imperial city, and the public security is also very different. Because of this, the assassin chose the location near the Lin family.

Lin Xiu knew that they were thinking about their own safety, but 10,000 taels of silver couldn't buy any good houses in Dongcheng, which was not enough for their family to live in. What her mother meant was that they should still live here and let Lin Xiu live alone. new home.

But Lin Xiu is already used to the feeling of home. In this home, there are people who eat with him, talk with him, care about him and take care of him. The new house is meaningless to him.

What's more, if the house is bought with these money, the Lin family will become as embarrassed as before.

He shook his head and said: "Mother, no need, I live at home very well, the weather is cold, His Majesty probably won't call me into the palace again, and I won't come back so late in the future."

It seems that no matter how much money you earn, it is not enough. Before, Lin Xiu would not think about buying a house near the palace, but now he has made a windfall, but he still cannot afford the things he wants to buy.

It seemed that it was time for him to seriously consider opening a veterinary hospital in the capital.

Lin Xiu thought that Manager Li would not come today, but after lunch, she still saw him.

After more than a month of getting along, the two have become very familiar with each other. Manager Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "This damn weather is finally getting cooler. I will enter the palace for the last time this year, so I don't need to go in the future."

When Lin Xiu heard this, she felt a little regretful.

In recent days, under the influence of Yuan Jing, his strength has been improving rapidly. He only needs to enter the palace a few more times, and he should be able to awaken for the second time. Unfortunately, he lost the blessing of Yuan Jing. It will be postponed for several months.

In the past month, Lin Xiu has become very familiar with the harem.

He knew exactly which concubine lived in the palace, what temper each concubine had, and what taboos he had. Manager Li told him these things in order to prevent Lin Xiu from saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing. If you offend them, you will bring disaster on yourself.

Today is still in accordance with the usual practice, starting with the empress, and according to the order of the concubines, visiting the palaces one by one.

Different from the first time, when Lin Xiu came to the Changchun Palace of the imperial concubine this time, she even rewarded him with two pieces of watermelon as an exception.

The imperial concubine has a bad temper, which is well known in the harem, perhaps because Lin Xiu cured her beloved pet twice, she still treats Lin Xiu a little special.

When she walked into Concubine Shu's palace again, Lin Xiu was a little surprised.

Usually when I came to Qianqiu Palace, there were only a few court ladies and eunuchs in the courtyard, but today there were many more people. At the front of the crowd, Concubine Shu stood with a middle-aged man, admiring the blooming chrysanthemums in the flower bed.

Lin Xiu's eyes swept over the middle-aged man, and he had to admit that this man was very handsome, not much better than himself, and because of his age, he had a calmness that Lin Xiu didn't have.

This is the unique charm of mature men, and it is the charm that kills women of all ages.

But Lin Xiu knew very well that the man in front of him only liked young women.

There is no doubt that apart from Lin Xiu, there is only one man who can appear in the harem and stand with Concubine Shu, and that is Emperor Daxia.

Director Li stepped forward quickly, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my servant!"

Lin Xiu also took a step forward, cupped her hands and bowed, "My lord, see Your Majesty."

Emperor Daxia obviously knew about Lin Xiu, looked at him and said, "You are the son of Uncle Ping'an, you have worked so hard for the past month, you can ask me for any reward you want."

Lin Xiu still knew the rules. Hearing this, he bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I am a student of the Academy of Different Arts. It is my duty to eat the imperial salary and share the worries of Your Majesty. I don't want to reward you."

Mr. Li beside him tugged at his sleeve and said, "Young Master Lin, Your Majesty has always distinguished meritorious deeds. If you have meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded, and if you have demerits, you will be punished. You can tell Your Majesty directly what kind of reward you want."

Lin Xiu was depressed, how could she give such a reward?

He also didn't know the bottom line of the emperor's psychology. If it was too serious, what would he do if he didn't give it to him?

And if you take it lightly, wouldn't you be at a loss?

Lin Xiu was caught in a dilemma. If he wanted to say what he wanted, there really was one. He wanted a big house close to the palace, which could be accommodated by his parents and servants. Whether he was going to the Magic Academy or Qing Dynasty Officials don't have to go that long, but the price of such a house is not cheap, he wonders if the emperor will give it to...

The time seems to be only a moment, but Lin Xiu's mind has been wandering for countless times, and finally chooses to give up. It's a pity, but fortunately, I can't make a mistake.

At this time, Concubine Shu suddenly looked at Emperor Xia and said, "Your Majesty, according to my concubine, why don't you give him a house near the imperial city? Your Majesty likes cold wine, so you can call him into the palace at any time without waiting." So long……"

Emperor Xia remembered that every time he summoned Lin Xiu to enter the palace, it would take a long time, so he nodded and said, "Concubine Shu is still considerate, Zhu Jin, go to the Department of Internal Affairs to check, and pick one that is close to the palace. and give him his yard."

An eunuch behind him said: "Observe the order."

Lin Xiu was still stunned in place, not recovering from it. Manager Li tugged at her sleeves again before she came to her senses, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

He was ecstatic in his heart, he made a profit, and this time he made a lot of money. A word from Concubine Shu saved him tens of thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels, and how long it would take to earn it. …

"Pfft..."

Concubine Shu, who was standing beside Emperor Xia, suddenly laughed out of nowhere.

Emperor Xia turned his head and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?"

Concubine Shu covered her mouth, she seemed to glance at Lin Xiu unintentionally, suppressed her smile, and said, "It's nothing, this concubine just thought of something funny..."

Thanks to "I want to blow you up" and "Xiaoxinjiang" for their rewards. There are 100,000 words, and there are already nine leaders. The old author thanks everyone for your support. Today, I will add a new chapter, which happens to be the last day of the end of the month. , and ask for a monthly ticket by the way...
