In a blink of an eye, Lin Xiu came to this world for more than a month.
It rained last night in the capital, and this morning, the weather became much cooler.
An autumn rain and a cool rain. After this rain, the weather should never get hotter.
The people of the royal capital are naturally happy. In the past month, the royal capital has encountered a hot summer weather that has not been seen for decades. Now, we finally don’t have to suffer the heat anymore.
According to convention, Lin Xiu was going to enter the palace today, so he arrived at Zhaiyue Tower early.
This time, the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou did not ask him to make ice, but asked his servant to present a wooden box and said with a smile: "I have troubled you these days. This is one hundred taels of silver. It is the little intention of the Prince Consort's Mansion. I hope the Prince will accept it with a smile."
Lin Xiu understood what he meant.
The weather has turned colder, so Zhaiyuelou naturally doesn't need him to make ice. This hundred taels is the final reward.
Lin Xiu simply accepted the 100 taels and said, "Happy cooperation."
The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou smiled and said, "I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with the young master next year."
Lin Xiu smiled gently, next year, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity next year.
The sudden heat this year caught everyone off guard, and even the ice storage in the palace was used up early. Apart from Zhaiyue Tower, the business of major stores was affected by many.
One learns from one's mistakes. In order to avoid similar situations coming back next year, they will definitely retaliately store ice this winter, and it is inevitable that there will be no shortage of ice sources next year.
After returning to Lin’s mansion, Lin Xiu counted the gains he had gained over the past month.
A month ago, the Lin family was so depressed that they needed the mistress to take off their jewelry to maintain their daily life. Now, the silver placed in the box is about 10,000 taels.
This is all Lin Xiu earned this month.
Ten thousand taels are an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but they are not worth mentioning to the top powerful people in the royal capital. This little 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, my mother and your father have discussed it and planned to buy you a yard in Dongcheng. At that time, it will be more convenient for you to go to the Age of Arts or the Qinglisi."
The place where the Lin family lives is very far from the palace, and even if you ride a carriage, it will take a long time.
Not only that, the Xicheng District is far away from the imperial city, and the public security is also very different. Because of this, the assassin chose the location where he took action near the Lin family.
Lin Xiu knew that they were considering their own safety, but they could not buy any good houses in Dongcheng for 10,000 taels of silver, and they were not enough for their family to live in. The mother meant that they still lived here and let Lin Xiu live in her new home alone.
But Lin Xiu has become accustomed to the feeling of home. In this family, there are people having dinner with him, some talking with him, and some caring for him and taking care of him. The new house is meaningless to him.
What's more, if you use these money to buy a house, the Lin family will become as embarrassed as before.
He shook his head and said, "Mom, no need, it's good for me to live at home. It's cold. Your Majesty shouldn't call me into the palace again, and he won't come back so late in the future."
It seems that no matter how much money is made, Lin Xiu would not think about buying a house near the palace. Now he has made a fortune, but he still can't afford what he wants to buy.
It seems that it is time for him to seriously consider the issue of opening a veterinary hospital in Wangdu.
Lin Xiu thought that Manager Li would not come today, but he still saw him after lunch.
After more than a month of getting along, the two of them were already very familiar. President Li patted his shoulder and said, "This ghost weather has finally cooled down. I will enter the palace one last time this year and I won't have to go there anymore."
Lin Xiu felt a little regretful when he heard this.
In recent days, under the influence of Yuan Jing, his strength has been increasing rapidly. He only needs to enter the palace a few more times and he should be able to awaken for a second time. Unfortunately, he will not be able to resent and lose the blessing of Yuan Jing. This time may be delayed by a few months.
Over the past month, Lin Xiu has become very familiar with the harem.
He knew all the concubines living in the palace, what kind of temper each concubine had, and what taboos they had. These were all told by General Manager Li, in order to be afraid that Lin Xiu would say the wrong things and do the wrong things, offend them, and cause trouble for himself.
Today, we are still following the customs, starting from the Empress, and following the ranking of concubines, we come to the palace one by one.
Unlike the first time, when Lin Xiu came to the Changchun Palace of the Imperial Concubine this time, she also gave him two pieces of watermelons.
The imperial concubine has a bad temper, which is well known in the harem. Perhaps because Lin Xiu cured her favorite twice, she was still a little special to Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu was a little surprised when he walked into the palace of Concubine Shu again.
Usually when I came to Qianqiu Palace, there were only a few palace maids and eunuchs in the yard. Today, there were many more figures. At the front of the crowd, Concubine Shu and a middle-aged man stood together, admiring the blooming chrysanthemums from the flower bed.
Lin Xiu's gaze swept across the middle-aged man, and he had to admit that this person was very handsome, no less than himself. Moreover, because of his age, he also had a calmness that Lin Xiu did not have.
This is a unique charm of mature men and a charm for women who are all ages.
But Lin Xiu knew very well that the man in front of him only liked young women.
There is no doubt that besides Lin Xiu, there is only one man who can appear in the harem and stand with Concubine Shu, that is Emperor Daxia.
Manager Li quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "I'm going to see Your Majesty!"
Lin Xiu also stepped forward and bowed and said, "Message, please see Your Majesty."
The Emperor of Daxia obviously knew Lin Xiu, and looked at him and said, "You are the son of Ping'an Bo. Thank you for your hard work this month. You can recommend any rewards you want to me."
Lin Xiu still knew the rules, and bowed again after hearing this, saying, "Go back to Your Majesty, I am a student of the Yishu Academy. I will eat the salary of the court and share your worries. This is my duty, and I will not reward you."
Mr. Li next to him pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has always been clear about his merits and demerits. He will reward him for any merits and punish him for any mistakes. You can tell Your Majesty directly what reward you want."
Lin Xiu was depressed. How could he give people such a reward?
He didn't know the emperor's psychological bottom line. What if the demand was too heavy, what would he do if he didn't give it to him? If the emperor couldn't come to Taiwan, he would be the one who was unlucky.
And if you want it lightly, wouldn’t you lose?
Lin Xiu was in a dilemma. If he wanted to say what he wanted, there was really something. He wanted a big house near the palace, and his parents could live in it even if they moved in. Usually, it wouldn't take a long time to go to the Yishu Academy or the Qing Lisi. However, such a house was not cheap. He didn't know if the emperor would give it to him...
Time seems to be only a moment, but Lin Xiu has been lingering in his heart countless times, and finally chose to give up. It’s a pity that it’s a little bit, but fortunately he won’t say it wrong.
At this time, Concubine Shu suddenly looked at Emperor Xia and said, "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, why not give him a house near the imperial city. Your Majesty likes iced wine, and you can call him into the palace at any time, so you don't have to wait that long..."
Emperor Xia remembered that every time he summoned Lin Xiu into the palace, it did take a long time. He nodded and said, "It's still Shufei who thought carefully. Zhu Jin, go to the Internal Affairs Department to check it out and choose a courtyard close to the palace and give it to him."
A eunuch behind him said, "Abide by the order."
Lin Xiu was still stunned and did not recover from his senses. He was pulled back by General Manager Li again before he reacted and bowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for the reward!"
He was ecstatic and made a profit. This time he made a big profit. The words of Concubine Shu saved him tens of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of taels. How long does it take to make money? He simply loved Concubine Shu to death...
"Puff..."
Concubine Shu, who was standing next to Emperor Xia, suddenly laughed for no reason.
Emperor Xia turned his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the beloved concubine?"
