don't show

Women's desire to compare is very serious, and which woman is willing to admit that she is inferior to others, and Princess Minghe is obviously one of them.

Princess Minghe saw that his expression was calm and not annoyed at all, she was surprised and said: "Aren't you angry?"

Lin Xiu looked up at her, and said: "The daughter of the Zhao family is unparalleled in beauty and talent, and there is no woman in the capital who can compare with her. Apart from this face, I really have nothing worthy of her. What the princess said is Actually, why should I be angry?"

Lin Xiu was not angry, but Princess Minghe was a little angry.

This bastard, it's enough to praise that woman, but he still wants to step on others.

What does it mean that there is no woman in the capital who can compare with her? Doesn't this also include her---although this is the truth, she really doesn't like to hear it.

Princess Minghe gave Lin Xiu a resentful look, gritted her teeth and said, "You are self-aware, except for your appearance, status, talent, and strength, there is nothing worthy of her."

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you princess for your compliment."

Princess Minghe was taken aback for a moment before realizing what Lin Xiu meant.

Then she was speechless for a while. Is this the point of what she just said? Her point is that he is not good enough for that woman, not to praise him for his good looks...

How could there be such a brazen person in the world!

Lin Xiu knew that Princess Minghe was angry, because her originally flat chest was slightly heaving, so he didn't speak again. If she was completely angered, he would be the one who would suffer.

He doesn't care about some things, but it doesn't mean that others can emphasize it over and over again, which is more or less insulting.

In fact, Lin Xiu should have endured it. After all, the other party has a noble status, and the strength of the two is very different. It is not wise to provoke her.

But I don't know if it was because of the strength in her body, as long as she stood in front of Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu couldn't help but want to confront her, and said some words almost instinctively.

Princess Minghe was also aware of this. She had no grudges with this person, but as long as she stood in front of him, her words would inevitably become mean.

In the School of Different Arts, she often met with Zhao Lingyin. Because of their status and strength, although they also disliked each other, neither of them could do anything to each other, so there was no intersection.

Now that she also met someone who possessed the magic of ice, and whose strength was much lower than her own, Princess Minghe couldn't help but want to bully him.

But this Lin Xiu didn't seem to care about anything. She couldn't take advantage of her verbally, and she couldn't really attack him. After Princess Minghe calmed down, she could only leave in a fit of anger.

With a steady stream of Yuanjing for cultivation, Lin Xiu quickly forgot about the episode of Ruidong Palace. After finishing his day's work, he came to the gate of the palace, where a carriage parked in the dark.

Besides Sun Dali, Lingyin is also here.

She told Lin Xiu that Sun Dali was not strong enough, so she would wait for him here every night, and then send him back.

The carriage drove slowly, Sun Dali was driving outside, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin were sitting in the carriage.

Thinking of something, Lin Xiu asked her, "Lingyin, are you familiar with Princess Minghe?"

"Princess Minghe?" Zhao Lingyin frowned upon hearing this, and then said: "When you are doing things in the palace, stay away from her. Her ability is fire, and we restrain each other. She may cause trouble for you."

Lin Xiu thought in her heart that they really knew each other, maybe they were old rivals too, one was ice, the other was fire, I don't know which one of them was stronger.

So he asked directly: "You and Princess Minghe, who is stronger?"

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Without even thinking about it, Lin Xiu said, "I think you are stronger."

Although Zhao Lingyin was very satisfied with Lin Xiu's answer, she still said: "I haven't fought, but she is not easy, and I am not sure of winning."

It seems that the two are about the same, but one is the opponent of fate, and the other is my dear sister-in-law. Lin Xiu said with a smile: "Even if the strength is similar, she is far worse than you in other things."

For Zhao Lingyin, Princess Minghe is definitely a formidable enemy. In the School of Different Arts, there are always people who are interested in comparing the two in private. Whether it is appearance, talent, or strength, it is difficult to distinguish between the two.

No one has ever said that Princess Minghe is far worse than her. Zhao Lingyin glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, "How is she worse than me?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "Although you all have different looks, she is short..."

Zhao Lingyin was taken aback for a moment, she was slightly taller, and Princess Minghe was relatively petite, but that was only relative, Princess Minghe's height was definitely above average among women, unexpectedly, in Lin Xiu's eyes, this was actually counted as Zuo short...

However, compared to myself, she is indeed a bit shorter...

She glanced at Lin Xiu and asked, "What else?"

After a busy day, Lin Xiu was already physically and mentally exhausted. Speaking of this, Lin Xiu was not sleepy at all. With the experience of a senior sea king, she explained to Zhao Lingyin: "Also, you are much whiter than her. Princess Minghe is simply Dark and short..."

Zhao Lingyin's skin is fair, which is partly related to her ability. Princess Minghe's ability is fire, so her skin is more rosy than ordinary people, but it can't be considered dark...

She is dark and short, unexpectedly, her image in Lin Xiu's heart is actually like this...

Lin Xiu continued to analyze: "Also, you are about the same age, but she is mediocre, you are much older than her..."

Zhao Lingyin frowned slightly: "Do I look very old?"

Lin Xiu quickly explained: "I'm not talking about age..."

"Then what did you say?"

"..."

----

In the Ruidong Palace, Princess Minghe, who was already lying down, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and the urge to fight with someone surged in her heart.

She sat up from the bed and murmured, "What's wrong with me..."

Chapter 31

For the next half month, Lin Xiu's life can be described as peaceful.

After what happened last time, Tianxiang Tower finally died down, and no one from other restaurants, brothels, etc. came to him again, so that he could make money and practice quietly.

Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, after that incident, they must all know that Lin Xiu is working for the palace, if anyone dares to make any small moves, it is no different from courting death.

It can be said that as long as this errand is on hand for one day, Lin Xiu can walk sideways in the capital.

With Yuan Jing's help, Lin Xiu entered the realm quickly, and even Lingyin said that according to this trend, he might be able to awaken his ability for the second time without waiting until this winter.

This is not bad news.

It is naturally a good thing to make continuous progress in practice, but judging from the results of practice these days, Lin Xiu's talent is actually not high, and he needs the help of Yuan Jing to achieve this speed. Without Yuan Jing, the difference between him and those real geniuses , there is still a large gap.

Fortunately, there is only one path of cultivation for others, but Lin Xiu has several. These days, he has been training his strength with Sun Dali. Sun Dali was shocked by Lin Xiu's strength, but he couldn't turn his head around. It was easy to be fooled by the side effect of Lin Xiu's awakening with a heaven-level strange magic.

Half a month has passed, and the temperature has dropped a little. Lin Xiu predicts that in another half a month, there will be no way to continue the business of picking the moon.

However, these days, he has accumulated a lot of money. Although it will not make the Lin family rich all of a sudden, he doesn't have to live in such a hurry.

Now, Lin Xiu has adapted to the new life and even enjoyed it a little.

He really enjoys the happy feeling of being together as a family every day. If he is given another chance, Lin Xiu may not choose to return to that familiar world.

The only thing somewhat missed is the entertainment of that world.

Chasing dramas, watching movies, KTV, killing scripts, and escaping the secret room, you can play all day without repeating the same thing from morning to night, but there is very little entertainment in this world.

Cuju, on a hot day, no one will play this.

He has no interest in cockfighting, bird walking, and cricket fighting.

If you have friends, you can also attend some banquets. Lin Xiu, who was able to visit, just walked out of the gate of the mansion. He didn't have any friends at all, so naturally no one invited him.

On the contrary, there is another kind of entertainment, which is the favorite of men in the capital, that is, visiting brothels, which is not in Lin Xiu's consideration.

Although Lin Xiu's soul has already experienced many battles, her body is still innocent. Of course, she can't say that she was in that kind of place for the first experience. After entering the brothel, when the time comes, who will prostitute who? I am afraid that those girls will be willing to pay for it.

What's more, if Zhao Lingyin found out, his legs would definitely be lost.

Boring, so boring!

In his previous life, Lin Xiu was either galloping or on the road, and was also a VVVIP customer of various bars and nightclubs. He had a rich entertainment life, and he had already adapted to that kind of life.

But now, every day is either practicing or making ice for the palace. If he doesn't have some fun, he will probably get sick from being suppressed.

Early this morning, Lin Xiu took Sun Dali and Da Huang to go out for a stroll.

After just over half a month, Rhubarb's whole dog has gained a whole circle of fat. From the previous skinny, with a piece of skin covering the bones, it has become much rounder and has some flesh on its body.

After Lin Xiu thought about it carefully, she felt that it would be better to bring rhubarb with her when going out in the future.

As a dog, it has a sense of smell and vigilance that Sun Dali does not have, and can detect danger earlier than humans. Lin Xiu thinks that it is more reliable than Sun Dali as a guard.

Sun Dali and Dahuang followed Lin Xiu, each with a chicken leg in their mouths. Sun Dali ate his mouth full of oil, and asked Lin Xiu, "Master, where are we going?"

Lin Xiubai was bored and said, "Take a stroll."

Staying at home, he was really bored, so it's good to go out and stroll casually.

The weather has turned cooler in the past two days, and it is still morning. There are many pedestrians on the street, and there is an endless stream of shouting and selling. Lin Xiuzheng felt noisy, and suddenly a special sound came to his ears.

This voice is soft and waxy, like Wu Nong's soft words. Lin Xiu once dated a girl from Suzhou, and she always spoke softly and softly, making people crisp to the bone.

The sound brought back some memories in Lin Xiu, and he couldn't help but follow the direction the sound came from, looking for the past.

After a dozen steps, Lin Xiu stopped in front of a two-story pavilion.

On the plaque in front of the small pavilion, there are three gilded characters of "Pear Flower Garden".

This should be a theater building, because on a wooden board in front of the small pavilion, there are some repertoire names that have been circulated in the world. Although the brothel is more entertaining and comfortable, it is difficult to be elegant, which also gave birth to the theater building. , music workshop, dance workshop development.

Lin Xiu didn't like listening to operas when she was a child. When operas were played on TV, she would always change the channel without hesitation. Later, when she grew up, she felt that opera tunes had a different flavor, and there were many more ancient opera tunes in the playlist.

Rhubarb was waiting outside, Lin Xiu bought two tickets for him and Sun Dali, and walked into the Pear Garden.

There were not many customers in the theater building, and most of the seats were empty. A woman was wearing a costume and was singing something on the stage. The voice that made people feel soft all over was from her.

Lin Xiu casually found a table in the corner and sat down. Someone immediately offered tea. Sun Dali looked at Lin Xiu and was about to ask something. Before he could speak, Lin Xiu raised his hand to stop him, and then closed his eyes. , listen quietly.

Beautiful music can indeed soothe one's mood, and this sound has a magical power, which gradually calms down Lin Xiu's originally irritable mood.

It also reminded him of some past events.

The girl who is also soft-spoken and always soft-spoken is Lin Xiu's first love.

They used to love each other very much, they were together for three years, and they were about to enter the palace of marriage, but they still broke up later.

There is no third party to intervene, and there is no obstruction from the families of both parties. All the gossip plots do not exist. It is just a vow of eternal love and a vigorous love, which is lost to a trivial life.

This profound emotional experience also deepened Lin Xiu's fear of marriage. Later, he dated many girlfriends, but there was no Jiangnan girl who spoke Wu Nong's soft language.

Of course, he never thought about marriage again.

The teenager who longed for a perfect marriage eventually transformed into a Neptune who changed his girlfriend every month.

After singing the song, Lin Xiu opened his eyes and saw Sun Dali sitting opposite him, scratching his ears and cheeks, and seemed very uncomfortable. He quickly figured out that this guy is a rough man, how could he appreciate music, let him Listening to an opera is like playing the piano to a cow.

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, "If you don't want to listen, go out first, and I will go back by myself later."

As if being pardoned, Sun Dali immediately stood up and said, "Then young master, I'll wait for you outside."

Lin Xiu didn't say anything more, the actors on the stage had already started to sing the second song, Lin Xiu tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table while listening to the soft voice.

Close your eyes and just listen to the sound, as if you have returned to the past.

In that world, there is no one that Lin Xiu misses, but there are things that make him miss it.

The Lin family is very warm, and the Zhao family is also very kind to him, but whenever the night is quiet, Lin Xiu always feels lonely from the bottom of his heart, as if he is incompatible with the whole world, because everything in this world is strange to him, He couldn't find anything familiar.

Even the opera in the theater building was something he had never heard of before.

However, although the opera singers on the stage had a good singing voice, for Lin Xiu, there was something missing after all.

So he opened his eyes and waved to a girl not far away.

Generally speaking, there is an entire theater troupe who runs a theater building, and those who serve tea and water here are also young apprentices of the theater troupe. They run here for a few years, learn singing for a few years, and then they can perform on stage. .

The girl walked over quickly and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"

Lin Xiudao: "I want some drama."

To enter the theater, you need to buy a theater ticket. There is no time limit for this movie ticket. You can sit in the theater from the opening to the closing time, but in addition to listening to the theater for free, the tea after the first pot, as well as pastries and snacks, are charged separately Charges.

The theater will arrange some repertoires every day. If the audience is willing to pay a little more money, they can also order what they like.

After a while, an old woman came forward and said with a smile: "May I ask you which piece you want to order, we will charge an extra [-] Wen if we order songs separately."

Twenty cents a song is not expensive, Lin Xiu nodded, and then said: "You don't have the song I want here, why don't you find a girl, I will teach her how to sing, and she will sing it to me again." ,how?"

As soon as Lin Xiu said this, the old woman looked at him with some vigilance, then shook her head and said, "Sorry, my lord, Lihuayuan can only order songs that girls can sing..."

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "I can add more money."

The old woman shook her head and said, "It's not about money."

Snapped!

Lin Xiu slapped an ingot of silver on the table.
