Don’t Show the Son

Chapter 15 Business Opportunities



Ping Anbo Mansion.

Lin Xiu brought the stray dog ​​back home, and sent someone to scrub it all over, so that it didn't have that bad smell anymore.

Then he squatted down, patted its head again, and said, From now on, you will be called Dahuang.

This dog seemed to be very spiritual. It walked around Lin Xiu a few times, then ran outside the Lin Mansion, lying on the corner of the wall, its eyes swept past the passers-by in front of the Lin Mansion from time to time, and seemed to be more devoted to its duties than Sun Dali.

Although the toxins in Sun Dali's body had been emptied, he needed a few days of recuperation to recover. To be on the safe side, Lin Xiu did not go out these few days.

After all, this is the capital of the kingdom. Even if someone wanted Lin Xiu's life, there were not many people who dared to directly enter the mansion to assassinate the powerful like that female assassin.

It is safe to stay at home, but for Lin Xiu, there is another very embarrassing thing.

Needing to stay at home all day, Lin Xiu and Uncle Ping'an naturally spend more time together. Although they treat Lin Xiu very well, Lin Xiu knows very well that their love and care is for another Lin Xiu, which makes him always It was indescribably embarrassing.

During dinner, Madam Ping'an kept adding vegetables to Lin Xiu's bowl, and looked at Lin Xiu with loving eyes, which warmed his heart, but also filled him with contradictions.

In the end, Lin Xiu couldn't stand her enthusiasm, so she could only excuse herself to be full, finished a bowl of rice in a hurry, and returned to her room.

Lin Xiu was woken up by starvation at night. Practicing strange magic will consume a lot of energy and strength, causing his appetite to increase exponentially. Before midnight, he was so hungry that he was about to go to the kitchen to see what to eat Yes, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Lin Xiu opened the door and saw Mrs. Ping'an standing at the door. He asked suspiciously, It's so late, what do you want?

Mrs. Ping'an said: I see that you haven't eaten much at night, so come over and ask. If you are hungry, mother will cook a bowl of noodles for you.

No need, I'm not hungry...

Cuckoo...

Lin Xiu wanted to refuse, but a timely sound came from her stomach.

Madam Ping'an smiled slightly and said, Wait a minute, I'll be right back.

Soon, Mrs. Ping'an personally brought in a bowl of noodles. It was a bowl of plain noodles in clear soup. Besides a few vegetables, there were two poached eggs in the bowl.

It was just a bowl of ordinary noodles, but Lin Xiu ate it with relish, not only drank up the soup, but also licked the bottom of the bowl.

Lin Xiu has eaten all delicacies from mountains and seas, but he thinks the best is this bowl of clear soup and plain noodles.

When he was a child, he had a nanny to cook at home. Later, when he grew up, he ate instant noodles, takeaways, or went to star-rated hotels with his sister. After living two lifetimes, this was the first time he had a meal cooked by his mother.

Not long after, Lin Xiu put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, Thank you.

Mrs. Uncle Ping'an stroked his hair, and said with a smile, Silly boy, thank you for what you want to eat with your mother, and tell your mother what you want to eat in the future, and my mother will make it for you.

The woman in front of him looked at him with loving eyes, something he had longed for in his previous life but never had, Lin Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded, and said in a low voice: I see—Mother.

After eating and drinking enough, the surroundings were silent, Lin Xiu was lying on the bed alone, and for the first time felt that God had treated him well.

Perhaps, being hit by a meteorite was not God's punishment for his emotional confusion, but a gift for him to do good deeds.

A night without dreams.

That night, Lin Xiu slept very peacefully.

In the early morning, after Lin Xiu washed, she came to the front yard and saw the servants of the mansion standing in a row, with Uncle Ping'an and his wife standing in the front. Lin Xiu stepped forward and asked naturally, Father, mother, what's the matter?

Zhou Yun looked back at him, and said: Mother and your father made some calculations last night. The family's silver taels are running out, and they can't afford to support so many people in the family. It's better to let them find their own sources earlier, and don't delay them.

It takes a lot of money to maintain food and clothing for a family of more than ten people.

The third-class uncle's salary was not much in the first place, barely able to maintain the previous Lin family, but when Lin Xiu fell ill, he spent a large sum of money to ask the imperial doctor, which emptied half of the Lin family's wealth, and it was a bit stretched to support these servants.

Zhou Yun, Mrs. Uncle Ping'an, said to the servants: The Lin family is no longer what it used to be. Staying here will not do you any good in the future. Today I will give you your body deeds, and I will give you ten taels of silver for money. If you are willing to leave If you want to go, you can leave.

The servants of the Uncle Ping'an Mansion were all bought by the Lin Mansion before, and they belonged to the Lin Mansion. The Uncle Ping'an and his wife could have resold these servants to others, but they did not do so. Not only did they return their freedom, but they also gave them Coiled with silver, is a rare benefactor among the rich and powerful.

But a good lord is not a good lord. The decline of the Lin family is irreversible, and staying in the Lin family is not good for their future. It is better to leave the Lin family as soon as possible and find a good tree.

Immediately, several servant girls took the deeds and received the money, then kowtowed to Uncle Ping'an and his wife on their knees, and silently went back to the room to pack their things.

But there are still four figures, still staying in place.

Zhou Yun looked at a middle-aged woman. The woman smiled and said, Ma'am, I have been cooking in the Lin family all my life, and I don't have any other skills. let me stay...

After she finished speaking, a stooped old man next to the woman continued: The old servant will not have a few years to live, I just hope that the old lady can give the old servant a coffin for the sake of the years of love, The old servant will have no regrets.

Sun Dali replied very simply: I'm not leaving either.

In the end was a woman with a firm expression on her face: I want to stay by Madam's side for the rest of my life.

Among the servants of the Lin family, four remained in the end, namely the concierge Lao Huang, the guard Sun Dali, the cook Aunt Wang, and Mrs. Ping'an's personal maid A Yue.

The departure of several servants made the already declining Lin Mansion feel a little bit more of a collapsed house, and made everyone feel extremely desolate.

Lin Xiu and Sun Dali were walking on the street, but they had a different feeling in their hearts.

It's ridiculous to say that Lin Xiu in his previous life had nothing but money, but in this life he has everything except money.

There are parents who dote on him, a sister-in-law who cares about him, guards who sacrifice their lives in danger, and most importantly, he has a family and even a dog...

So far in life, what more can a husband ask for?

Lin Xiu's wish has always been so simple.

In such a magical world, even if he has no abilities, he doesn't want to go back.

From now on, he is the real son of Uncle Ping'an, Lin Xiu, the official secretary of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lin Xiu cherishes his current life very much, so he has to do his best to maintain this hard-won home. Now that the situation in the Lin Mansion is getting worse day by day, he needs to do something to change the current situation.

Sun Dali followed behind Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu looked back at him and asked, Your body hasn't recovered yet. Go back and rest. I'll be back in a while.

Sun Dali shook his head again and again: I'd better follow the young master, I don't worry if I follow the young master.

In fact, he also wanted to rest, but today's weather is too hot, how can he stay at home, it's better to stay with the young master to cool off.

Lin Xiu stayed at home for the past few days and didn't go out. This time he wanted to come out to get some air, but after only walking for a short while, he decided to go back.

The weather these past few days is really too hot. Although Lin Xiu himself is a walking air conditioner, the hot weather also makes him feel a little uncomfortable. It is not as comfortable to lie at home and eat iced watermelon outside in the sun.

Lin Xiu and Sun Dali were not the only ones who thought the same way.

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and almost no one walked in the middle of the street like Lin Xiu, but walked against the shade of the street, complaining while walking.

This damn weather, why is it so hot, the clothes are soaked in just a while!

Yeah, it's really unbearable. I'm going to Pinfang Pavilion to have fun. I heard it's cool there.

No need to go, I just came back from there, the ice storage in Pinfang Pavilion has been used up long ago, it is also a steamer, it is so hot that people have no reaction at all...

...

This year's summer was indeed extremely hot, Lin Xiu still felt uncomfortable, let alone ordinary people, from the royal capital to the high officials and dignitaries, down to the common people, all suffered from the heat.

Lin Xiu raised her head and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind.

He can use his own ability to make money!

The high temperature in the royal capital has been continuous recently, and it is hard to find ice in the market. Whether it is a wealthy businessman or a prince, no matter how rich they are, they cannot buy ice, unless they have the ability of Lin Xiu.

Although Lin Xiu's current strength is not as good as Lingyin's, it is difficult for him to make ice out of thin air, but if he just freezes water, it will be much easier. The difficulty of the two is not at the same level.

Besides Lingyin, he is the only one who can make ice in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

Business opportunity, this is definitely a business opportunity!
