"I mean, it's a rare thing for the Second Prince to go to a seaside town. How about we meet him for a while and find out what he has to say?"
Bai Zhancheng suggested.
"You mean..."
Li Yuyan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a strange smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Zhancheng chuckled and said:
"Since you have made up your mind to clear the throne, you naturally need to know what our highly respected Second Prince thinks."
"Um!"
Li Yuyan nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
The second prince, Li Yuquan, is the biological brother of the current sage Li Yuquan.
However, he and Li Yuquan have two different personalities.
Li Yuquan likes power, money and beauty, and is extremely cruel to others.
Li Yujun has a kind heart. He is not only gentle and courteous to others, he also cherishes feathers and is unwilling to make enemies casually.
The late emperor once said that if he wanted to conquer the country, then the ruthless Li Yuquan would be the most suitable emperor.
To protect the country, the kind-hearted Li Yujun needs to be the emperor.
…
Lin Xiao returned to Linjia Village while complaining that Li Yuyan was an immature white-eyed wolf.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw Aunt Wu looking around. When she saw her coming back, Aunt Wu hurriedly came up to her and said anxiously:
"Xiao Linzi, you are finally back!"
"What's wrong, Aunt Wu?"
"Go home and take a look, something big has happened to your family!"
"What happened?!"
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over her.
"Little Aunt Lin...Oh! You will know when you go back and take a look!"
Aunt Wu shook her head and sighed.
Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
She ran home in a hurry, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Lan Lian pacing back and forth in the yard with an anxious face, looking like she was in a state of confusion.
"Lan Lian, are you okay?"
After Lan Lian heard Lin Xiao's voice, she suddenly raised her head and looked at her:
"Master, you are back!"
"What happened?"
"Come into the house with me quickly!"
Lan Lian didn't care too much and pulled Lin Xiao towards her room, explaining as she walked:
"Not long after you went out, I heard someone shouting 'Falling into the water, falling into the water'. I thought it was some naughty child who fell into the river, so I ran out quickly, but I saw it was your cousin."
When Lin Xiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she unconsciously quickened her pace.
In the Lanlian Room, Han Ruoshui was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, a piece of white cotton cloth placed on his forehead.
Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were turning blue and purple, and her whole figure seemed to have lost all life.
"Has the doctor been here?"
"Been here."
"How to say?"
"It was said that he choked on some water and was frightened, so he fainted."
Lan Lian sighed.
"Did you tell me when you would wake up?"
"As fast as one day, as slowly as three days."
"Three days..."
Lin Xiao looked at the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed, frowning slightly.
"Lin Xiao, you black-hearted man, just wait for me, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
What Han Ruoshui said to her kept echoing in her mind.
If nothing else, Han Ruoshui must have been stimulated by his unwillingness to marry her, and did something stupid without thinking.
Lin Xiao's heart was filled with guilt and sadness.
Just marry me!
Isn’t it just that multiple people have multiple pairs of chopsticks?
It’s not like I can’t afford to support her!
"The boss?"
Seeing Lin Xiao standing blankly, neither speaking nor moving, Lan Lian couldn't help but scream.
Lin Xiao came back to his senses, glanced at Lan Lian, and smiled bitterly.
I am obviously a girl, but I have no choice but to marry one wife after another. It is really extremely difficult!
Feel sorry for yourself for a minute.
"Lan Lian, please go out first!"
"……good."
Lan Lian responded and exited the room, closing the door. She leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and felt a chill deep in her heart.
Although the head of the family said that she would be the mistress of the family when Sister Yuyan was away, but now it seems that she, the "mistress", may have to give way.
After all, no matter how close we are, we can never get close to each other as cousins!
Lin Xiao stood next to the bed, looking at Han Ruoshui who was unconscious on the bed, and sighed. His heart was filled with guilt and helplessness.
"Don't worry, I will marry you when you wake up. Don't do such stupid things again in the future."
Lin Xiao looked at the unconscious Han Ruoshui and murmured.
Lan Lian thought that Lin Xiao was going to stay in the room for a long time, but she didn't expect that she would come out soon, with a sad look on her face.
"Master, don't worry too much. The doctor said she was just frightened and nothing serious. She will be fine when she wakes up."
Lan Lian comforted.
"How's the flower harvest going?"
Lin Xiao ignored her and asked about other things.
"Today we collected a total of twenty kilograms of flowers, and gave them two coppers per kilogram. I gave them a total of forty coppers."
Although Lan Lian has never read a book, her calculations are not ambiguous at all, and she quickly explains things clearly.
"very good."
Lin Xiao nodded appreciatively, then looked for flowers, but did not find the flowers Lan Lian mentioned. Even the basket of flowers she picked herself was missing.
"I was afraid that if I left those flowers for too long, the color of the lipstick would not look good, so I added alum to the petals and pounded them into mud in advance."
Lan Lian lowered her head and said softly.
If the flower juice is not squeezed out of the flower mud in time, it will definitely be oxidized by the air.
Moreover, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and without refrigeration conditions, it is useless to squeeze out the flower juice from the flower mud, because the flower juice will deteriorate as the temperature rises!
Deteriorated flower juice cannot be made into lip balm.
"Where's the flower mud?"
Lin Xiao was already prepared for Huani to be scrapped.
But what I never expected was that Lanlian was so smart and could use the characteristics of well water to be warm in winter and cool in summer to keep the flower mud fresh.
"Lan Lian, you really impress me!"
Lin Xiao looked at Lan Lian with admiration.
She was convinced that the girl in front of her was not simple.
If it can be cultivated, it will be of great use in the future!
"Squeeze out the flower juice and I'll teach you how to make lip balm."
Lin Xiao decided to train Lan Lian to be his right-hand assistant.
In this case, she will be able to have time to return to her old profession in the future.
"Master, do you really want to teach me how to make lipstick?"
You must know that in the feudal era of the Daxia Dynasty, craftsmen valued their skills more than their lives.
Lin Xiao actually offered to teach herself how to make lip balm, which made Lan Lian feel incredible and at the same time very excited.
"Why, you don't want to learn?"
Lin Xiao teased deliberately.
"Yes, yes, of course Lan Lian is willing, Lan Lian can't ask for it! It's just..."
Lan Lian's face showed a tangled look.
"Just what?"
"Isn't the head of the family afraid that Lan Lian will betray you after learning how to make lipstick?"
"Haha, I believe Lan Lian is definitely not such an ungrateful person."
Lin Xiao smiled heartily.
The worries in Lan Lian's heart disappeared.
"Since the master trusts Lan Lian, Lan Lian is willing to swear allegiance to the master to the death!"
