Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 121 Lin Xiu's Promise

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

  Lin Xiu said weakly: "It's okay, just take a night's rest... Do you have a place to go at night?"

  Chen Ke said: "No, we people, on weekdays, the sky is the quilt, the ground is the bed, and it's the same wherever we sleep."

   Lin Xiu said: "If you don't dislike it, you can sleep here, you sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the ground."

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

  Lin Xiu was lying on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

   One reason is that he slept enough at Caiyi's place today, and now he has no sleepiness.

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

  Sometimes, it’s not all a good thing to remember.

  It is very uncomfortable at night.

  Lin Xiu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and didn't even dare to close his eyes.

   In the room, another person could not sleep.

  Chen Ke put his hands behind his head, opened his eyes, and looked at the roof above, not sleepy at all.

  What are the children of Jianghu who are informal, how can there be such an informal woman?

   It's just that she can't do anything about it.

  In order to save her, Lin Xiu stayed outside the powerful mansion, risking her life, and was chased and killed by the powerful people...

   After taking off her clothes, she was forced to, in order to save her life, how could she blame him?

   That is not a chivalrous act.

   So she can only pretend not to care.

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

   She really wanted to get rid of those scars on her body, but when she thought of going through the events of last night again while awake, she felt ashamed.

  The reason why she made up her mind later was just as she said to Lin Xiu, anyway, there has been the first time, and the second time, it is not so difficult to accept.

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

   When he was still very weak, he did not hesitate to offend the powerful, avenge the innocent woman who died in vain, and kill the son of the powerful for the sake of a brothel woman.

   He is the same person as her.

   It's just that, in just a few days, she met naked with a man who had only met a few times, which made her feel like she was dreaming when she recalled it at this moment.

   Really like a dream.

   An extremely absurd dream that she had never thought of before.

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

   Lin Xiu said: "Can't sleep."

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

  Lin Xiu did not hesitate and said, "Because you are a good person."

   This sentence Ake once told him, and now Lin Xiu returns it to her, this is indeed the reason why he saved her.

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

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

  …

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

   When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and there was no Akko in the room.

   She always comes and goes without a trace.

   seemed to feel something, Lin Xiu lifted the quilt, looked down, and sighed helplessly.

   The young man's body is full of vitality, and he may have to suffer for a few days.

  Early in the morning, Mrs. Ping An went out to buy the New Year's goods with the big maid and the little maid in the house. After Lin Xiu washed up, she also quickly left the house.

  Under the active preparations of Li Bozhang, Ningxiangzhai officially opened today.

When   Lin Xiu came to the store, he found that there had long been a long queue outside the store, most of them were maids from various noble houses, and even some young ladies came to line up in person.

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

As the proprietress of the shop, she activated her contacts a few days ago, and held a "fragrance appreciation party" in Xue Mansion, invited the ladies of the major families in the capital, and gave each of them a gift A sample of perfume.

  Ningxiangzhai has not yet opened, but it has already set off a frenzy in the circle of ladies and gentlemen 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 underestimated the wealthy people in the capital.

Opposite    Ningxiangzhai is a tea house.

At this time, on the second floor of the teahouse, in the Accord opposite Ningxiangzhai, Li Bozhang stood in front of the window, looking at the crowd below, he couldn't help but say: "Our profit from this small bottle of perfume is at least ninety taels. Isn't it too dark..."

  Lin Xiu said: "If you feel dark, you can quit."

  Li Bozhang waved his hand and said, "When I didn't say it."

  There is a difference between having money and having no money. In a few days, he will be able to buy another house in the capital. He has been looking forward to this for a long time.

   After a while, the three of them walked down from the restaurant.

   At this time, Ningxiangzhai's perfumes are already sold out.

Just like the drunken immortals in Hongniju, there are not many ladies and ladies in the capital, but the number of perfumes is limited, not everyone can buy it on the first day, and many people are disappointed and return, thinking Tomorrow, the next person in the family must come to line up early.

   Some people even plan to let the next person start queuing at night.

In the    team, there were also some young men who also murmured away when they heard the news that the perfume was sold out.

  Although they don't need this thing, it can be used as a gift for the women they like to win their favor.

   The king was very lively these days. After leaving the teahouse, the three of them wandered the streets casually.

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 for one hundred taels, perfume for one hundred taels, even if the workshop costs ten taels 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 people who spend a lot of money, there are also many poor people who can't afford to eat."

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

   And across the street, there are still people who are homeless, and even eat, they can only rely on alms from others.

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

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

  The old man didn't expect such a noble boy to talk to him. With a reserved face, he stammered: "Sleep, sleep under the bridge."

  Lin Xiu once 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 difficult for an old man like this to survive.

   He thought about it 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 protect you from the wind and cold at night."

  Lin Xiu was talking about the house he used to live in. After moving to the palace, no one lived in that house, and it was empty. It would be better to give these beggars a place to live so that they would not freeze to death this winter.

  Xue Ning'er was more thoughtful than Lin Xiu. After guessing Lin Xiu's intention, she immediately asked the maid behind her to buy a lot of bedding and sent someone to send it here.

  There are not many rooms in the old house of the Lin family. Under normal circumstances, not many people can live there, but the beggars will freeze to death, so naturally each person will not occupy a room.

   The quilts were laid on the ground one by one, and the wing rooms were all covered. Even if the beggars from the entire capital came here, they could still sleep.

   After learning that someone had provided them with a place for free, the beggars spread the news one by one, and a steady stream of beggars came here. They fell to the ground and saluted the three of them in unison.

   "Thank you for the kindness of the son and the young lady!"

   "You are good people, and good people will have good rewards!"

   "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, the son and the young lady will be free from diseases and disasters in their lives, and they will be blessed and live long..."

  …

   It was the first time that she did a good deed and was thanked by so many people. On the way home, Xue Ninger had her mouth upturned. After sending her home, Lin Xiu and Li Bozhang walked on the street.

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

  Lin Xiudao: "All the land in the world belongs to the powerful and noble families. The people have worked hard for a year, but they are barely able to eat. What's more, it is difficult to eat, and they can only beg for breath..."

  Li Bozhang looked at Lin Xiu and said in a low voice, "These words, we can just talk to each other, don't let outsiders hear them."

He walked beside Lin Xiu, shook his head and said, "In fact, to put it bluntly, this world is the world of the powerful, they have the most powerful blood, the top powerhouses, and every powerful family has countless alchemists and The warriors are vassals, the beast tides are blocked by them, the rebellions are repressed by them, the imperial court can deal with the countries of the mainland, and they also need to use their strength, and their power comes from this."

   Lin Xiu actually knew what Li Bozhang said.

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

  Because of the existence of the powerful, the life of the people was very difficult.

   But without the powerful, the people may have no life at all.

  The royal family is afraid of them, but they cannot be without them.

  Unless there is no internal and external troubles in Daxia, then the existence of powerful and powerful people is completely superfluous.

   Of course, even then, 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, and while controlling his own destiny, he could also protect the people he wanted to protect.

   Now, his thinking has changed a bit.

   He wanted to do more.

   For the dead Chen Yu, and for more Chen Yu.

Li Bozhang patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Actually, there were several ancestors who wanted to change all of this, but the power of the dignitaries was too strong, and they were deeply ingrained and inseparable from the royal family. The strength of the upper realm."

He sighed with emotion: "If you have the strength of the Supreme Realm, there is nothing in this world that you cannot do. What are the nobles in Daxia? There are many dynasties in the mainland, whoever you want to be the emperor can be. to be king..."

  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, took Lin Xiu's shoulder, and said seriously: "I want to be an emperor, I will give you Xue Ning'er first, the two of the Zhao family, which one do you want to marry, two You can also marry together, and Miss Wan'er, I will give you Miss Wan'er too..."

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