The golden hairpin that the imperial concubine rewarded was still taken away by Lingyin.

Lin Xiu and her sister have never known each other, and they gave her a hairpin just to repay her kindness. As for how she dealt with it, it was her business.

Once again, I walked with Lingyin for half an hour before returning to the Lin family. Lin Xiu secretly decided to let Dali buy a carriage tomorrow. It was too long to be delayed on the road every day. In half an hour, I could do too many things.

The next day at noon, after lunch, Lin Xiu and Sun Dali went out together.

Sun Dali took the money to the car dealer, and Lin Xiuze came to Zhaiyue Tower.

Now the strength of his body is beyond comparison a few days ago. After fifty barrels of ice are made, he can be free from blushing and breathing. Even if he makes fifty barrels, it is not difficult.

However, Lin Xiu also knew that things are precious because they are rare. If he had more ice every day, he would not be able to sell them to the current price. The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou understood this principle better than Lin Xiu. In these few days, he didn't know how much money he had made.

There is no doubt that their profits are more than 300 taels of Lin Xiu's. This time, the hot weather is rare in decades. The big restaurants in the royal capital are no longer open, and all the customers are concentrated here. Lin Xiu never saw the smile on the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou disappear.

After a while of busyness, Lin Xiu himself felt that he was grabbing money.

Walking out of Zhaiyue Tower with the reward, Lin Xiu suddenly felt dark before her eyes.

It was not dark, but two strong figures stood in front of him. The two strong men were at least two meters tall, and their exposed muscles were ripped, giving people a sense of oppression.

Facing the blockade of two strong men, Lin Xiu was not panicked at all.

After all, although his power is not as perverted as Sun Dali, it is also beyond the limit that ordinary people can reach. If he takes this terrible big guy, he will punch one by one if he takes it seriously.

One of the two strong men looked down at Lin Xiu and said, "Our son is welcome."

Lin Xiu asked, "Who is your young master?"

The strong man said, "You will know when you go."

Lin Xiu shrugged and said indifferently: "Lead the way."

In broad daylight, he was not afraid of anything. If he found out that the place he was going was wrong, he would have been fine if he didn't go with them. Lin Xiu wanted to leave, but these two big guys couldn't stop him.

The culprit who assassinated him last time still has no clues at all. Lin Xiu was very curious about where the person who found him this time came from.

I thought the two would take him to somewhere, but I didn't expect that they just walked less than a hundred steps and took Lin Xiu to a restaurant on the same street.

When he walked into the restaurant, Lin Xiu looked up and saw that this was a restaurant called "Tianxianglou". In terms of decoration, it was no worse than Zhaiyuelou. It was obviously also a high-standard restaurant.

The difference is that the Zhaiyue Tower is now full of private rooms and the hall cannot even add a table, but there is not a single customer in Tianxiang Tower.

After entering here, the two of them were much more polite to Lin Xiu. They took him to a private room on the second floor and reached out and said, "My young master is inside, please."

Lin Xiu pushed the door open and saw a table full of wine and food.

Every dish on this table is a delicacy. I am afraid that the price of any dish can allow Lin Xiu to eat wontons that he has been eating for several years, and it is the kind that he eats to a full day.

A young man sat opposite the table.

The weather outside was already hot, and the room was extremely stuffy. The young man was sweating profusely just sitting, his clothes were wet and he wiping his sweat on his forehead from time to time.

The moment Lin Xiu walked in, a chill that came to her face came.

The young man's hair was standing up all over his body, and he couldn't help but tremble, and his body felt a sense of comfort from the inside out.

He stood up suddenly, stared at Lin Xiu with his eyes curled up, and said, "It's you, you, the one who provided ice for Zhaiyue Tower these days?"

Lin Xiu did not deny it and asked straight to the point: "Who are you? What are you looking for me?"

The young man smiled on his face, stretched out his hand to Lin Xiu, and said, "Sit down and say, I will hold a banquet here today to make friends with my brother."

Lin Xiu did not sit down and asked directly: "If you have anything, just tell me."

"happy!"

The young man didn't beat around the bush and said, "I want my brother to provide ice for our Tianxiang Tower. How much does Zhaiyue Tower cost you? I'll give you twice."

Lin Xiu had long expected what happened today.

Every summer, ice trading is a profitable industry. This year, due to special reasons, he is the only one in the entire capital who can provide ice sources. Because of his cooperative relationship with Zhaiyuelou, Zhaiyuelou monopolizes all the ice in the entire capital except the palace.

This also attracted all the customers in the royal capital, which involved a huge chain of interest transfer. How could other restaurants, brothels and other shops that compete with them watch?

Obviously, some people are jealous.

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, "A bucket of ice is five taels."

He had a contract with Zhaiyuelou, and Zhaiyuelou agreed to the price of a bucket of 5 taels of silver, provided that Lin Xiu could not make ice for a shop that had a competitive relationship with them, unless the other party was willing to pay a higher price.

"Five taels, twice isn't ten taels?" the young man widened his eyes and blurted out: "Why don't you go and grab it!"

Lin Xiu looked at him and said, "It's the double price you said. You can ask. The price given to me by Zhaiyuelou is only five taels per barrel."

The young man frowned. In previous years, the price of a bucket of ice was only one or two taels. He originally thought that it would be possible to handle it in two or three taels, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. Even if he was given ten taels, Tianxianglou would still make a lot of money, but who doesn't want to save costs?

What's more, he was just doing things on orders.

Thinking of this, he smiled again on his face and said, "Ten taels of silver are a bit expensive, so why not do this. I'll give you two taels of silver a bucket..."

Lin Xiu looked at the young man in front of him and asked seriously: "Do I look like I can't tell the numbers?"

The young man said with a smile: "In previous years, a bucket of ice costs at most one tael of silver, and I give you two taels of silver. Brother may not know that Tianxianglou is the property of the Yongping Hou Mansion. I know that you are the son of Ping'an Bo, so I won't know about Yongping Hou..."

Of course, Lin Xiu, the Marquis of Yongping, knew that one of the three first-class marquis of the dynasty was the level of the Duke. Lin Xiu's future father-in-law had only two such excellent daughters, and in terms of background and power, it was far from comparable to those families that had been in charge for decades.

The powerful people like the royal capital generally do not do business directly, which will be ridiculed. However, almost all prominent families will secretly support some industries to satisfy their luxurious life on weekdays. Therefore, all the exciting and colorful shops opened by the royal capital are supported by noble people.

Stores without background can’t wait to make money, and they are swallowed by others and don’t even have any residue left.

This man even moved out of the Marquis of Yongping, obviously threatening him.

If the recruitment fails, it will be changed to a threat immediately.

What do you say is how much Zhaiyue Tower will be sold? Tianxiang Tower is willing to double the price - why are you pretending to be a fool if you don’t have money?

The other party even investigated his identity clearly. It seemed that he really did not take a small third-class Ping An Nephew seriously. It was true that the first-class marquis of the dynasty was already the powerful among the powerful. Among the powerful, there were only ten dukes and those royal families. In their eyes, the third-class marquis were no different from the civilians.

But no matter how young the third-class uncle is, he is still a powerful man in the Great Xia. If Lin Xiu agreed to him today, the Ping'an uncle's mansion would be disgraced.

At that time, what will your parents look at him, what will Lingyin look at him, what will Sun Dali look at him, and what will Dahuang look at him?

Even Lin Xiu himself looked down on himself.

The young man looked at Lin Xiu and continued, "You probably don't know yet that the master behind Zhaiyue Tower is the Prince Consort's Mansion. Do you think, which is more important, the Prince Consort or the Prince Consort of Yongping?"

Although the prince-consort of Daxia is of noble status, he has no real power, so he is naturally far inferior to the first-class marquis. If Tianxianglou is really willing to pay double the price, Lin Xiu may not be able to cooperate with them, after all, he will not be able to fight against silver.

But this man tried to use the Marquis of Yongping to suppress him and force him to surrender, but he made the wrong plan.

If he bowed his head today, he would not only lose the face of the Lin family, but also the face of the Zhao family.

Lin Xiu's expression was calm and she could not see any emotion. She said lightly: "It seems that there is no need to eat this meal today."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The two strong men wanted to stop them, but the young man waved his hand and smiled and said, "Let him go."

When Lin Xiu's figure disappeared, he showed a sarcastic look on his face and said, "He will come back to beg me. By then, it will not be two liang, but two qian. No, there is not two qian..."

Soon, he stood up and came to the innermost private room on the second floor. After knocking on the door gently, he pushed the door open and said to a young man standing in front of the window: "Young Master, he refused."

The man didn't look back and asked lightly: "Do you know what to do?"

The young man said: "Since he doesn't eat toast, he can only drink and punish him..."
