The incense powder shop is not big. The front is the store for business, and the backyard is the living area. The kitchen and living room are very complete. You can plant some flowers and plants in the yard and dry some incense and other things.

At that time, Xiao Xuetang bought this place because he thought it was very convenient for eating and living, and it was very suitable for Hongfu and his wife to live in.

On weekdays, Hongfu is busy with the front business, and Lin Shu is responsible for most of the housework. Who would have thought that the eldest son of the Lin family in the past was such a good cook.

Every day at lunch time, the couple had lunch together under the big banyan tree in the yard. It was the most heartwarming moment of the day, but the tranquility was broken by a scream!

Hong Fu thought something was wrong with Lin Shu, so she quickly picked up her dagger and rushed into the kitchen. She saw Lin Shu lifting the lid of the pot and looking at her with a sad face: "You actually gave all those crispy ducks to that girl."

Seeing that it was just for a duck... Hongfu then put away the dagger with relief, and said with a puzzled look: "It's just a few ducks, why are you so stingy?"

Seeing that Lin Shu's handsome face was still full of grievance, Hong Fu asked again: "You looked awkward when Tangtang left. Did she offend you or something? You are a grown-up, why are you still arguing with a child?"

The duck was gone, and he was also scolded by his wife. Lin Shu felt so aggrieved that he snorted, "She called you Sister Hongfu!"

If Xiao Xuetang was here at this moment, she would be so surprised that she would be speechless. Who would have thought that the eldest son of the Lin family, who was as cold and aloof as a banished immortal in front of outsiders, actually had such a side to him.

Hong Fu finally understood why Lin Shu looked so resentful, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Who asked you to be on good terms with her uncle? In terms of seniority, he should call you uncle, right?"

Lin Shu was taking the soup he had cooked that morning off the stove. As he listened to Hong Fu's words, he kept muttering, "No matter what, I'll have to ask that girl to change her name next time."

Hong Fu...

Forget it. She actually didn't understand why a man would be so fussy about addressing others, but she still asked, "What's wrong with those ducks just now?"

Lin Shu said: "There is no problem, but I am going to give them to a good friend today and ask him for help."

Lin Shu sprinkled chopped green onions into the chicken soup and said nonchalantly, "The Lin family has also come to Kyoto."

With a bang, the soup spoon in Hong Fu's hand fell to the ground. In an instant, the color on her beautiful face disappeared completely. She asked in panic, "Who from the Lin family came to Kyoto?"

"Not my good brother."

Lin Shu snorted and said, "But don't worry, this capital is not his territory, it's not their turn to cover the sky with one hand."

At this point, a hint of coldness flashed across Lin Shu's light brown eyes.

Hong Fu calmed down now and said, "If Lin Sui is really coming for us, we have to be on guard. Since we have a good friend in Kyoto, let's prepare a few more expensive gifts and ask him for help."

Lin Shu consoled her, "It's okay. I'll get up early tomorrow and buy a few more ducks."

Hong Fu hesitated: "What good friend are you? You can buy them off with a few ducks."

Lin Shu rolled up his sleeves and served Hong Fu a bowl of chicken soup. Hearing this, he raised a mischievous smile and said, "His son likes it."

"His...son?"

"Wang!"

The big wolfhound was really rude. It ate most of Xiao Xuetang's duck, then swung its tail and walked away mercilessly, leaving Xiao Xuetang there in a state of confusion.

At this time, Qiyue came out of the shop after buying some snacks. Seeing Xiao Xuetang standing there, she asked, "Miss, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, let's go back after buying the things."

If he stayed outside for too long, he would be in trouble if he met Ye Jin. Xiao Xuetang didn't want to alert the enemy as he had just set up the plan.

When the carriage arrived at Zhuque Street, the crowds of people and traffic became heavier. Xiao Xuetang was talking with Qiyue, but Uncle Wu suddenly stopped the carriage and Xiao Xuetang was almost thrown out.

Xiao Xuetang lifted the car curtain and asked, "What happened to Uncle Wu?"

"Miss, it's okay. There were a lot of people on the street today. We almost collided with the carriage on the opposite side. No one was hurt, but it seems that something happened ahead and the road was blocked."

Fortunately, Uncle Wu drove steadily, and the other driver reacted quickly, so no disaster occurred.

This Suzaku Street is one of the most lively places in Kyoto, with many carriages and horses on weekdays. It seems that there was a dispute ahead, and the other party's carriage was forced to stop for a while.

Xiao Xuetang felt that the sound of the argument in front of her seemed familiar, and for a moment she didn't pay attention to the carriage...

Uncle Wu was puzzled and said, "I heard from Old Cheng who buys vegetables that many outsiders have come to Kyoto recently, and all the restaurants and inns are full."

Xiao Xuetang said, "The emperor's birthday banquet will be held in a few days. His Majesty's birthday banquets in previous years have always been simple. This time, the regent won a victory and brought back a lot of spoils. This year, the royal family will hold a big birthday celebration, and all the major families have come to Kyoto to send birthday gifts."

Xiao Xuetang remembered it so clearly because Ye Jin gave the Queen advice and presented her with a folding screen with a picture of rivers and mountains made of a strange fragrance as a birthday gift. The birthday gift attracted butterflies on the day of the gift and was praised as a good omen. The Emperor was very pleased, and Ye Jin also began to stand out in front of the Queen.

In the harem, the one who gave the birthday gift that was most pleasing to the emperor was the Queen, and among the noble families, the exquisite tower given by the Lin family was the most outstanding.

The Lin family of Shu City is proficient in the art of mechanical devices. They and Uncle Lin...

Just when Xiao Xuetang was thinking about all those things, the tightly blocked road ahead opened up a little, the carriage moved a few steps, and the faint sound of the dispute became clearer!

"This is the street in Kyoto. Your carriage is going so fast. What if it hits someone?"

The woman's angry voice sounded righteous.

Then, a nonchalant male voice was heard: "It's not like we didn't hit them. Besides, even if I knocked down one or two, I can afford to pay for it."

This tone sounds really annoying!

Then there was another clear male voice. Although it was not as passionate and generous as the woman's, it was gentle but carried a hint of intimidation.

"Looking at your attire, you must be a son of an aristocratic family. However, Kyoto is under the feet of the emperor. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. If you ride a horse in the street again next time, the people in the censorship office will not let you go!"

Xiao Xuetang finally saw clearly who was the culprit causing the traffic congestion, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "What bad luck!"

"Miss, it's the Third Prince."

Qiyue was surprised. Uncle Wu beside her also recognized Lin Shaoshu's identity and said with great satisfaction: "Most of the royal family members are arrogant and domineering. Only the third prince cares about the people. This is in line with the character of the Xie family. Miss, should we go and say hello?"

At this time, Xiao Xuetang glanced over, sneered, and said lightly: "Didn't you see that there was someone beside Lin Shaoshu? If we go over there, wouldn't we ruin his date with his confidante?"

Qiyue was stunned at first, then she gasped and said angrily, "Isn't that Miss Jin? How could she... how could she be with the Third Prince?"

At this moment, both Uncle Wu and Qiyue's faces changed. However, Xiao Xuetang lifted the curtain as if she was watching a good show. Sitting in the carriage and watching the excitement outside, it reminded her of some past events...
