don't show

Zhou Yun collected the money, walked slowly to the table, and said to her husband: "Master, have you noticed that Xiu'er has changed..."

Lin Ting nodded and said, "I also think that he would actually ask to cancel his engagement with the Zhao family. Isn't he always looking forward to this?"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Zhou Yun shook his head, with a hint of relief in his eyes and a bit of distress, and whispered: "Xiu'er has grown up..."

She is gratified that her son has grown up. Even if they are gone in the future, he can live a good life with his own ability.

What made her feel distressed was that he was just now, and most of the rich and powerful children of his age were still at the age of riding horses and enjoying the shadow of their parents, but he had already supported a family.

Lin Ting also sighed slightly, and said, "It's all because of my incompetence as a father..."

Zhou Yun held his hand, his expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Actually, this may not be a bad thing. At least we don't have to worry too much until we are a hundred years old..."

Yesterday, her body was hollowed out, and after a good night's sleep, Lin Xiu was revived with full blood.

At noon the next day, after lunch, he and Sun Dali went out together, heading all the way to the Yueyue Tower.

The two of them had just walked into the gate of the Yueyue Tower, when a figure in white paused slightly on the street, and then followed.

Chapter 18 Zhao Lingyin's Evaluation

Today's Zhaiyue Building is completely different from yesterday.

When Lin Xiu came yesterday, there was no one in the restaurant. Today, he and Sun Dali walked into the gate, opened the thick curtain, and found that the hall on the first floor was full of seats, and the rooms on the second floor were full of people. Nebi was too crowded yesterday, obviously there were extra tables.

It's no surprise that the business of Moon Moon Tower has improved. It's extremely hot outside, but the inside of the building is like an air-conditioned room. It should be the only summer resort in the capital at present.

As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou ran out from the counter, held Lin Xiu's wrist, heaved a long sigh of relief, and said, "Young master Lin, you've come, yesterday's ice cubes are almost used up. , if you don't come, I will personally invite you at home..."

"I'm here." Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Let's get started."

Under the leadership of shopkeeper Qian, he came to the well in the backyard again. There were already fifty buckets filled with water. Before his arrival, the Yueyue Tower had already made all the preparations.

The rest is Lin Xiu's business.

After washing his hands, he put his palms on the surface of a bucket of water. Before the whole bucket of water condensed into ice, a fragrant wind suddenly blew from behind him.

Standing behind Lin Xiu, Zhao Lingyin asked doubtfully, "What are you doing?"

Lin Xiu asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?"

Zhao Lingyin said: "I happened to see you, so I came to see, what are you doing here?"

"Business." Lin Xiu had already condensed the first bucket of water into ice, and said with her palm off the ice, "In a month at most, the weather will turn cold. Why don't you take advantage of the heat to earn more money?"

Zhao Lingyin frowned and said, "You are so short of money, what should you do if someone sees you?"

Lin Xiu gave her a white look, and asked, "How do you know that I am not short of money?"

What a magician pursues should be powerful power. Using the magical ability bestowed by the heavens to earn gold and silver is undoubtedly a self-deprecation.

When Lin Xiu stretched out his palm to the second bucket of water, Zhao Lingyin held his wrist directly and said, "I'll give you how much money you want."

Lin Xiu was taken aback when she heard this.

When a rich woman tells you, "I'll give you what you want", few people can resist the temptation.

Even if this woman is old and ugly, or even has some special hobbies, many men will post them. Lin Xiu has seen many such people.

What's more, this woman is beautiful, young, and has a good figure. These words are undoubtedly extremely lethal to men.

It's a pity that Lin Xiu doesn't like this set.

Why rely on others when you can make money by yourself to support your family.

He glanced at Zhao Lingyin again, and said calmly: "What do you think of me, besides, what's wrong with being seen, I use my ability to make money, there is nothing shameful."

Zhao Lingyin looked at Lin Xiu. In her heart, after Lin Xiu's "lustful" image, there was another "lust for money".

She flicked her sleeves, and a gust of cold air gushed out, and the water in dozens of buckets by the well condensed into ice.

She glanced at Lin Xiu lightly and asked, "Is that enough?"

Lin Xiu was amazed at Zhao Lingyin's powerful strength, but at the same time said nervously: "I can do it slowly by myself. If you do this, who will get the money?"

Zhao Lingyin gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, I don't want a penny."

In this way, Lin Xiu felt at ease. Although he didn't do anything, but without the spiritual sound, he took his time and could finish it in an hour at most. This is what he deserved.

The shopkeeper of Zhaiyuelou was also particular about it. He honestly offered 300 taels of silver because of Zhao Lingyin's intervention in the regeneration turmoil.

He just sighed in his heart that these powerful magicians are the ones who make money like stealing money. If they have the heart, they can easily accumulate huge wealth in a short period of time.

Walking out of the Yueyue Building, Zhao Lingyin walked in front of Lin Xiu without turning her head, and said calmly: "Even if you are greedy for money, you have to think about your own identity, this will make others look down on the Lin family."

Lin Xiu knew that the Lingyin was for her own good. In the capital, the rich and powerful had to look like the powerful. How could the rich and powerful mix with businessmen, let alone Lin Xiu who ended up in person. Such behavior, in the eyes of other rich and powerful, Undoubtedly a rare joke.

This is not only the people who lost the Lin family, but also the people who lost the Zhao family.

He shrugged and said: "What do they think? It's their business. The last time the family hired an imperial doctor, it cost dozens of taels of silver. Later, they dismissed several servants and paid a lot of severance pay. If they don't come out to earn money Some money, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get rid of the pot, I won't do these things, should I let my parents do it?"

Zhao Lingyin's footsteps stopped, she didn't know that the Lin family was in such a difficult situation, and she wanted to say something at this moment, but she didn't know how to say it.

At this time, Lin Xiu had passed Zhao Lingyin and continued to walk forward.

In the middle of the street, a ragged woman was holding a child in her arms, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously and sadly: "Please kindhearted people, please help us..."

Countless pedestrians passed by them, but they just looked down at her, and even more people didn't even look at her.

Lin Xiu stepped forward, knelt down and asked, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Seeing someone talking to her, the messy-haired woman raised her head abruptly.

Holding the child in her arms, she anxiously said: "Son, the child is sick. The doctor said that if he dies, he will die. I, I have no money..."

Lin Xiu took out an ingot of silver from her bosom, handed it to her, and asked, "Are these enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" The woman snatched the silver, without even having time to say thank you, she hugged the child, got up from the ground, and ran towards a certain direction.

Zhao Lingyin stepped forward and said: "In Wangdu, people like this are probably liars."

Lin Xiu smiled, and said indifferently: "What does that matter? It's just a few taels of silver. A meal in the Yueyue Tower is more than a few taels. If you cheat, you will be cheated. What if it is true? And then The child's illness doesn't look fake."

In fact, Lin Xiu has been very restrained in his life in this life. After all, he has thrown his wallet to beggars on the side of the road many times on a whim, and then rode his bicycle home by himself.

In this life, he has a family, parents to respect, and a dog to raise, so he can't do things so casually.

Because Zhao Lingyin helped Lin Xiu a lot and saved him an hour of time, so he had time to wander the streets, and he just took this opportunity to get acquainted with the capital.

Zhao Lingyin followed behind Lin Xiu without saying a word, observing him silently.

Then she discovered that he couldn't understand many things Lin Xiu did.

He would not hesitate to give a silver coin to a begging woman, and he would entangle the stall owner at a street stall for a quarter of an hour for a few pennies.

He would spend a tael of silver to buy a few tables of meals in a small restaurant and give them to beggars on the street, but he squatted on the street and ate a bowl of clear soup and plain noodles for three Wen, and he ate three bowls in succession.

He is the least powerful person that Zhao Lingyin has ever seen, but it is strange that she likes him more than any other powerful person.

Lin Xiu drank the last sip of noodle soup, then put down the bowl, looked back at Zhao Lingyin, and asked, "Are you sure you don't want a bowl, this restaurant tastes really good."

Zhao Lingyin shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry."

She hadn't eaten at a place like this in the past 17 years, and she certainly won't now.

It was just that she was unavoidably curious. Is this noodles really so delicious? It was so delicious that Lin Xiu and Sun Dali ate three bowls each, and five bowls each...

Lin Xiu can eat three bowls of noodles because he, like Sun Dali, feels hungry easily after awakening his power, and he has long been tired of eating delicacies of mountains and seas, abalone and lobster. It is not elegant, but it often hides the real delicacy.

Zhao Lingyin looked at him and said, "I'm going back. I'll find you to practice tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked in the direction of Zhao's house. When she passed a medical clinic, she saw the ragged woman walking out of the medical clinic with a few pairs of medicines in her hand and a smile on her face. .

When she saw Zhao Lingyin, the woman pulled the child and knelt down together, saying repeatedly: "Thank you, miss, thank you for saving my life!"

Zhao Lingyin didn't dare to look at them any more, so she fled in a hurry. This kneeling made her feel ashamed.

Back home, Zhao Lingyin was so preoccupied that she was a little distracted until eating. A middle-aged man across from her asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Zhao Lingyin came back to her senses, looked at her father, and asked, "How about it?"

The middle-aged man said: "I heard that you have been with Lin Xiu these few days, how is he?"

Zhao Lingyin thought for a while and said, "He is a good man."

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Good guy?"

Zhao Lingyin nodded, put down his chopsticks, and said, "He practiced hard, was diligent and thrifty, kind-hearted, righteous, and responsible. The only shortcoming was that he was a bit late in awakening the strange art..."

"Ah!"

Lin Xiu, who was strolling on the street, sneezed out of nowhere, and at the same time, a bad premonition arose in her heart for no reason.

Chapter 19 Thank you!

Practice hard, be diligent and thrifty, kind-hearted, righteous, and responsible.

This is Zhao Lingyin's evaluation of Lin Xiu after such a long time of contact.

She has personally experienced his hard work in practice.

In Wangdu, other dandies usually eat at Tianxiang Building, Zhaiyue Building, etc. There are all kinds of delicacies, delicious wines, and a meal can easily cost two or even tens of taels of silver. This is because he is thrifty.

As for the fact that he invited the beggar to eat and gave the woman money without any doubt, it didn't mean that he was wasting money, it just showed that he was kind-hearted.

The Department of Cleaning up justice for the people, not afraid of power, shows that he has justice in his heart, and Zayuelou put down his identity to make money to support his family, which reflects his responsibility and responsibility.

There is another point that Zhao Lingyin didn't say, that is Lin Xiu's shortcoming, except that she was a little late in awakening the strange art, and she is also a little lustful, but in Zhao Lingyin's view, this is not a problem.

As long as he has seen his sister, there will be no other women in his eyes.

She has such confidence.

blah blah blah!

The middle-aged man dropped his chopsticks on the table, and his daughter's evaluation of Lin Xiu surprised him. He had never heard such an evaluation from her.

After Zhao Lingyin made her evaluation of Lin Xiu, she explained everything again.

The middle-aged man picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It seems that Lin Ting has taught a good son. Such a person is very rare among the rich and powerful in the capital."

Zhao Lingyin looked at him and asked, "So, will father abide by that marriage contract?"

The middle-aged man nodded, and said: "Originally, I thought that if Lin Xiu was as bad as the other dandies in Wangdu, even if I didn't want the reputation of the Zhao family, I would cancel this engagement, but listen to what you said , his character is so noble, how can our Zhao family be dishonest?"

Zhao Lingyin didn't say anything more. Originally, she was strongly opposed to this engagement.

She knew most of the rich and powerful children in the capital, and among these people, she thought that none of them were worthy of her elder sister, but as a woman, no matter how talented or noble she was, she would eventually marry.

Among all the men I know, if I have to choose one, it can only be Lin Xiu.

I can see his character for all to see. Even if his cultivation talent is a bit weak, as long as I urge him a lot, his final achievement will not be too bad.

After thinking deeply, the middle-aged man stood up and said to Zhao Lingyin: "In that case, you and I should go to the Lin family."

……

Lin Xiu and Sun Dali wandered the streets for two full hours, doing a lot of things and buying a lot of things.

He used to be very resistant to shopping, and it was really helpless to go shopping with his sisters. If their desire for shopping was not satisfied, they would not discuss life with him in depth.

But if you take the initiative to go shopping, the feeling is completely different.

He bought a jade cigarette pouch for Lao Huang, the concierge, a gold hairpin for Ah Yue, two bolts of high-quality silk cloth for Aunt Wang, the cook, and even Sun Dali got a pair of fine steel armguards.

When the Lin family was at its worst, he still insisted that everyone left behind was his family, and he naturally had to be careful with his family, so Lin Xiu prepared gifts for each of them.

It was already afternoon when Lin Xiu and Sun Dali returned home.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw several figures coming out of the room, two of them were Uncle Ping'an and Mrs. Uncle Ping'an, the other two were Zhao Lingyin, and the last one was a middle-aged man.

The man was about the same age as his father, Uncle Ping'an, with a gentle and friendly appearance, and there was a familiar feeling between his brows and eyes.

Seeing Lin Xiu, Uncle Pingan hurriedly said, "Xiu'er is back, and I haven't met your Uncle Zhao yet."

Lin Xiu guessed the identity of the middle-aged man in an instant, and she couldn't help being overjoyed. Could it be that the Zhao family has divorced? This is really great. He can't wait to ride his horse!

Lin Xiu strode forward and said to the middle-aged man, "I've seen Uncle Zhao."

The middle-aged man looked at him with admiration, nodded and said, "Not bad."

He didn't say much, just smiled and said to Uncle Ping'an and his wife, "We're going back first, and we'll come to visit some other day."

Uncle Ping'an and his wife sent the middle-aged man out of the Lin Mansion. Lin Xiu was so happy that he stood there in a daze. The corners of his mouth raised, which showed that he was in a very happy mood at the moment.
