Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 123 Unfamiliar with him

When    left Xue Mansion, Lin Xiu passed by the entrance of Zhao Mansion.

   He didn't go in because he had to come again tomorrow.

After the first day of the new year, people have to visit relatives and friends. Since the fall of the Lin Mansion, most of the relatives have long since cut off contact except for the mother's family. It is a false feeling, and there is no need to visit.

   But the Zhao family and Lin Xiu are going to visit the door in person.

  In the past, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun were not adults, and the two families were not closely related, but now Lin Xiu and her are over 18 years old, and their marriage will probably be this year.

   Early in the morning, Uncle Ping'an and his wife prepared a large cart of gifts for Lin Xiu to send to Zhao's house.

   When he came to Zhao's house again, Lin Xiu didn't have any special feelings. On New Year's Eve, Zhao Lingjun didn't go home, which was just right for Lin Xiu. Anyway, he didn't know what to say when he saw her.

Sun Dali and the servants of Zhao's house moved the gifts from the carriage. Lin Xiu pointed to a few jars of wine and said to Lingyin's father: "Uncle Zhao, this is the drunken immortal of Hongniju, you drink it first, then later Every month, I will send people to a few altars in the Zhao residence."

  Wu'an Hou showed a smile on his face and said, "It seems that this old man will not worry about drinking in the future."

   He was not polite to Lin Xiu. With the relationship between the two families, Lin Xiu would be equivalent to half of his sons in the future.

  Later, Lin Xiu took out another brocade box, handed it to Lingyin's mother, and said, "Auntie, these are the latest fragrances from Ningxiangzhai, you won't need to wear a sachet with you in the future."

   Mrs. Wu'an Hou knows perfume. In recent days, this product has been popular in the capital. Not only the ladies and wives of the major wealthy families are using it, it seems that even the concubines in the palace have a bottle.

   It’s just that this item seems to be extremely difficult to buy. Only a small amount is available every day. Many people queue for several days to buy a bottle.

   She asked the maid next to her to take the brocade box, and smiled: "It made you worry."

  Lin Xiu said with a smile: "I didn't bother. Ningxiangzhai was originally a collaboration between me and my friends. If there is a new product in the future, I will let Lingyin bring it to my aunt."

  After Lin Xiu greeted the two of them one by one, the Marquis of Wuan said to a young man standing behind him: "Xuan'er, I've seen you Brother Lin soon."

  A handsome young man walked out from behind him, gave him a scornful look, and snorted: "I don't have a big brother like him, he's not worthy of my sister at all..."

  The Marquis of Wu'an's face sank, and he said, "I don't know the etiquette!"

The    boy was still a little afraid of him. Although he was reluctant, he still walked in front of Lin Xiu and said in a very weak voice, "I have seen Brother Lin."

After   , he left without looking back.

  The Marquis of Wu An looked at Lin Xiu and said, "Nephew Lin Xian, I'm really sorry, Xuan'er has been practicing outside since he was a child, and we neglected to discipline him, which made him so ignorant of etiquette..."

  Lin Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, children are like this, and I came here from this time..."

  The Marquis of Wu'an and his wife have three children in total.

   In addition to the Lingjun Lingyin sisters, they also have a son.

   This is normal. Daxia's powerful family can have no daughters, but they must not have no sons. If the wife cannot give birth to a son, they will take concubines until they give birth to a son. After all, they have titles to inherit.

  The title of nobility cannot be passed on to a daughter. If there is no son, the family inheritance will be cut off.

  The son of the Marquis of Wu'an, he is not as famous as his two older sisters.

  Because he didn't awaken a different technique, his talent in martial arts was not bad. Since he was a child, he has been a master of martial arts as his teacher and has been practicing outside.

  According to the etiquette, Lin Xiu will not go back until he has eaten at Zhao Mansion. There is still some time before the luncheon. The Marquis of Wuan said to Zhao Lingyin: "Lingyin, take Lin Xiu to the mansion for a walk."

   In fact, he should have asked Zhao Xuan to entertain Lin Xiu, but looking at his attitude towards Lin Xiu, it may be difficult for the two to become friends.

   Zhao's house is nothing to see, Zhao Lingyin took Lin Xiu to her small courtyard, looked into his eyes, and asked, "What does Ningxiangzhai mean?"

  Lin Xiu explained: "Ningxiang Ningxiang, as the name suggests, is the place where the aroma is condensed, how about it, the name of this shop is not bad, right?"

   Zhao Lingyin snorted coldly and said, "I think this Ning is Xue Ning'er's Ning, right?"

  Lin Xiu wondered: "Isn't this a word?"

   Zhao Lingyin glared at him and said, "Don't play stupid to me, you didn't promise me that you wouldn't get entangled with Xue Ning'er in the future, what's going on?"

  Lin Xiudao: "In the establishment of Ningxiangzhai, the girl Ning'er invested 10,000 taels of silver. She is one of the bosses behind the scenes. It's not too much to use the name of the shop?"

   Zhao Lingyin said displeased: "You know she has ulterior motives for you, why do you still accept her money?"

Lin Xiudao: "Who would have a hard time with Yinzi? Besides, do you think people are just investing money? The publicity and management of the store also depends on them. Ningxiangzhai's business can be as good as it is now, and anyone can be without it. Can't be without her..."

   Zhao Lingyin didn't say anything else, she just said: "I believe you have a sense of proportion and will not do anything wrong to your sister."

   Speaking of proportions, and Xue Ninger's proportions, Lin Xiu naturally has it.

   But the proportions with Miss Ake, to say there is, it is indeed a bit unconscionable.

  The round and white moon still appeared in his mind from time to time.

   At this time, Zhao Xuan walked into the small courtyard and said to Lin Xiu: "Hey, you opened the Ningxiangzhai, just in time, you can give me a few bottles of perfume, I'll use it..."

   Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and frowned: "Zhao Xuan, don't be rude!"

  Lin Xiu looked at the disdainful young man in front of him, as if he was looking at a fool.

   Really because he is Zhao Lingjun's younger brother, he can do whatever he wants?

   Sending Lingyin perfume is because Lingyin is good to him.

   Sending Princess Minghe perfume, it is Lin Xiu who wants to cultivate with her, and must build a good relationship with her.

   Those who can take advantage of Lin Xiu are either like Lingyin and the imperial concubine, who are simply good to him, or like Princess Minghe, Lin Xiu has plans for her.

   The boy in front of him obviously didn't touch a single one.

   And he offended Lin Xiu just now.

  Lin Xiu is very vengeful, although for some reason, he can't take revenge in person, but he will definitely find an opportunity.

   Offends him and wants to prostitute for free, just dream.

  Lin Xiu looked at him calmly and said, "It is true that I opened Ningxiangzhai, but why should I give it to you, you don't even want to call me brother-in-law."

   "Brother-in-law?" The young man looked at Lin Xiu and sneered: "You are also worthy of being my brother-in-law, I tell you, don't be complacent, my sister will not marry you!"

   Zhao Lingyin's pretty face was as cold as ice, and she said coldly, "Zhao Xuan, apologize!"

  The teenager said stubbornly: "I don't, he just doesn't deserve the big sister, am I wrong!"

   Zhao Lingyin had already raised her arm, but was held by Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Forget it, it's a new year, and he's still a child..."

   The fiancée hasn't been seen yet, but he has a grudge with his brother-in-law first.

   During the luncheon, Lin Xiu was sitting opposite him, and I don't know how many eyes he glared at.

   This marriage, except for the satisfaction of the dog emperor, did not get the blessings of most people.

After the    luncheon, Lin Xiu bid farewell.

   In the afternoon, he will also enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the imperial concubine.

  It wasn't until after Lin Xiu left that Zhao Xuan looked at Marquis Wu'an and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, grandfather has been dead for so long, do you really want to marry the eldest sister to such a person according to the marriage contract back then?"

  The Marquis of Wu'an looked at him and asked, "Do you know what kind of person he is?"

   Zhao Xuan hesitated for a while, but still said: "In short, he is not worthy of my sister!"

   Wu Anbo looked at him and said in a deep voice, "You haven't been with us these years, you really don't understand the rules at all."

   Zhao Lingyin also looked at him and said coldly: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, let me see how much your strength has improved..."

   Zhao Xuan had a bad premonition in his heart. He wanted to escape, but it was too late.

  …

  For Lin Xiu, after the second year of junior high, this year has no meaning.

  Cultivation is more important. For a friend, he has to enter the supreme realm as soon as possible and liberate Li Bozhang from the sea of ​​suffering.

However, cultivation is a matter of accumulation over time, even if the speed of cultivation is fast, it will take time to accumulate. Now that his upper limit of ability has been full, the cultivation speed is also fixed at six times. What an improvement.

  Unless there is a situation, that is, there is thunder every day in the capital.

The ability of    Thunder is somewhat special.

It is also a heaven-level ability. It is not like ice and fire. It needs to be practiced every day, and the upper limit is extremely high. As long as you encounter thunderstorms once a month, and you are hit by lightning for a quarter of an hour and a quarter of an hour, it is worth the same as Lingyin and Princess Minghe. month of penance.

   But it's winter now, and it's been a long time since there's been thunder.

   The number of thunderstorms in spring and summer will be more. If next year is a year of thunder, his promotion speed will be faster.

  Unfortunately, there is no weather forecast in Daxia, otherwise he can chase the thunderstorm weather, and the flying ability can make up for the lack of speed. I don’t know if flying into the thundercloud will be more efficient.

   In the past few days, Ake has not come to find Lin Xiu again.

  I don't know where she went. She always does some dangerous things, and Lin Xiu is a little worried about her safety.

   It can be seen that although her profession is an assassin, she still loves beauty. Lin Xiu also plans to give her a bottle of perfume the next time she sees her.

   In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Ningxiangzhai was completely popular in the capital.

   is even hotter than the red mud house in its heyday.

  Women's spending power is really not to be underestimated. Lin Xiu, Li Bozhang, Xue Ning'er and the concubine have made huge profits in just a few days.

  The high profits have even spawned the scalper industry.

   After they queued up to buy perfume, they did not use it or give it away, but resold it to others at a high price. Li Bozhang had already asked the Ministry of Housing to thoroughly investigate this behavior.

  It was a big New Year's Eve, a yamen like the Ministry of Households would not open a yamen, but because it was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, they had to grit their teeth and work overtime.

   Ningxiangzhai, Lin Xiu and Xue Ninger are counting money.

   Even Xue Ning'er, who came from a wealthy family, couldn't help but say after counting the stacks of silver notes: "We made fifty thousand taels of silver just yesterday..."

   This number is extremely amazing. Although people's desire to consume is high in the past few days of the New Year's Festival, and the goods in major stores are selling well, it is far less than Ningxiangzhai.

  Lin Xiu and Xue Ning'er happily counted the banknotes when there was a sudden noise outside.

  Lin Xiu looked back and asked, "What's going on outside?"

   A little girl ran in and said, "Big Brother Lin, Sister Xue, there was a fight outside because of the queue."

  Ningxiangzhai’s daily supply of goods is limited, first come, first served, and those who are in the back have to wait for tomorrow. Almost every day, there will be several conflicts due to the problem of queuing.

   When Lin Xiu and Xue Ninger went out, they saw Zhao Xuan and another young man scuffled together.

   There were two helpers beside the young man. One of them was obviously a person with the ability of a different technique. He controlled a few vines that grew from the ground and bound Zhao Xuan's legs, which greatly restricted his movement.

   One fight three, Zhao Xuan is obviously in a weak position. When he saw Lin Xiu, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Hey, the surname is Lin, come and help me!"

  Lin Xiu glanced at him lightly, then turned and walked into the store.

  Xue Ning'er said in surprise: "That seems to be the young son of the Zhao family, aren't you going to help him?"

   "Why help him?" Lin Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know him very well..."
