After seeing off two friends one after another, Chu Lin was somewhat melancholy. After all, this place is not like modern times, even if they are far away from each other, they can still communicate with each other through mobile phones and computers.

Sensing his emotions, Zhao Xu took him to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for more than a month, and he didn't return home until he made him happy.

The reason why Chu Lin was happy was not only because he went to play in Zhuangzi, but also because his points increased faster.

Knowing that it was the result of Xia Jinyu continuing to open stores in various places after returning to Jiangnan, Chu Lin, who could receive points by squatting at home, felt that good people are rewarded with good rewards.

Zhao Xu occasionally had to deal with some matters assigned by the emperor, but Chu Lin, who was relieved of the burden of selling instant noodles, really had nothing to do, especially after he wrote it but couldn't post it, he was a little too lazy to write a book.

A few days later, the sweet potatoes and corn planted by the Ministry of Industry had already been harvested, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who found that the yield was astonishing, hurriedly brought some sweet potatoes and corn into the palace.

After hearing the report from Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the emperor Longyan was very happy, and then he ordered people to invite King An and Chu Lin to Prince An's mansion.

"Exemption." Seeing them coming in, the emperor directly exempted them from the ceremony, then pointed to the sweet potatoes and corn on the ground, praised Chu Lin, and asked him what reward he wanted.

Chu Lin didn't lack anything, but he also knew that according to the routine, it's not easy to say nothing, so he said, "Just give me some of the corn and sweet potatoes you planted."

Hearing his words, the emperor laughed, and not only promised to give him a cart of sweet potatoes and corn, but also rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and jewels.

After the rewards were over, the emperor asked him how to eat these two things, and Chu Lin briefly explained the basic ways to eat them.

Hearing that there are so many ways to eat these two things, the emperor was even more happy, and immediately said that he would ask the imperial chef to cook a table of sweet potato and corn feast, and keep them to stay to share.

Not to mention, the imperial chef is the imperial chef. Although it is the first time to cook sweet potatoes and corn, the dishes they make are very delicious. Not to mention that they have never eaten these two things before, even Chu Lin ate a round belly.

Of course, Chu Lin was a little cautious at first, but Zhao Xu would bring him food from time to time, and the food on the table was all delicious, so he quickly let go.

After a meal, the emperor saw that the relationship between the two of them was indeed very good. After joking a few words, he asked Zhao Xu to take him for a walk in the imperial garden.

Seeing that he liked it, after leaving the palace, Zhao Xu ordered people to send half of the sweet potatoes and corn they brought back to the kitchen, and half as seeds to plant on the Zhuangzi outside the city.

After confirming that sweet potatoes and corn are indeed high-yielding grains, the emperor planned to pick a place to start promoting. Since the seeds were brought from Prince An's Mansion, he called Zhao Xu into the palace and asked him if he would like to take on the job.

This kind of errand, which is obviously credit-worthy, would definitely be desirable for someone else, but Zhao Xu refused.

Seeing this, the emperor handed over the errand to others, but decreed to give Chu Lin a false title and a residence.

There were people who wanted to get close to Chu Lin because of Wang An's relationship before, but now that he has a waiting position, there are more people like this, and basically someone sends posts over every once in a while.

Others said it was okay, but he didn't like the post sent by someone he met at the farewell banquet before Zhou Hengjue.

If he went to the banquet, Zhao Xu would definitely accompany him. Although he didn't have to deal with too many people because he was by his side, it also led to more people posting to him.

Fortunately, because of Zhao Xu's status there, they could leave whenever they wanted. After going to a few more banquets, Chu Lin got used to it a bit, and it was just to pass the time.

As the weather gradually warmed up, the instant noodle shop's business was not as good as before. After all, on a hot day, no matter how good the taste was, some people didn't want to eat such hot food.

After discovering this, Chu Lin thought about it and decided to launch dry mixed instant noodles with various flavors.

When the dry instant noodles were transported to the capital, it was the hottest time. This kind of instant noodles, which were soaked in hot water, rinsed in cold water, and finally topped with sauce, was loved by people as soon as it was launched.

Especially those who can't eat because of the hot weather, can't wait to eat dry instant noodles with different tastes for three meals a day.

"It's so refreshing to eat dry instant noodles on a hot day! It's a pity that I'm not here on Tuesday, otherwise he must eat it every day."

When I went to the instant noodle restaurant one day, I happened to hear a friend of Zhou Heng say something. After thinking about it, Chu Lin felt that the heat in the frontier was even hotter, and hurriedly sent a batch of dry instant noodles to him.

Originally, the big pot of rice in the military camp was not very delicious, and Zhou Heng was most afraid of heat, so he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

After receiving the dry instant noodles from Chu Lin, he ate two servings in one go, and immediately wrote a letter expressing his gratitude for General Gray to send it away.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhou Heng, who thought that so many instant noodles could make him get through this summer, suddenly became terrified, and then became sad the next moment. Cheeky divided up most of it.

The lieutenants had all of them, so naturally it was impossible not to give them to my father, so the remaining half of the instant noodles was divided into another half.

Holding the remaining dry instant noodles, Zhou Heng wanted to cry without tears, hoping that his little friend would give him some more.

It's a pity that Chu Lin doesn't have clairvoyance, so he just smiled after reading his letter.

Not only in Beijing, but also in other places, dry mixed instant noodles are selling very well, especially in hot places, people basically buy whole boxes at home.

Sweet potatoes and corn are popularized in a few villages not far from the capital. After a bumper harvest, they found that the yield per acre of grain was more than ten times that of other things. Some people who were reluctant at first were surprised and excited. Tears welled up in their eyes, and they knelt down in the fields and kowtowed towards the palace.

After hearing the officials' report, the emperor was also very excited, and summoned the relevant officials to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Next, the emperor summoned Chu Lin into the palace from time to time, and asked him not to mention what was clearly written in the book, but also always mentioned the incident when he met a foreigner at the beginning. Well, I want to know what else he knows.

It was a nonsense experience, but after being brought up again and again, Chu Lin, who was afraid of being betrayed, felt a little irritated.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood every time he came out of the palace, and Zhao Xu, who knew he had many secrets, made a decision.

Even if he is in good health, his body temperature is still a bit cool, so in this hot weather, Chu Lin likes to stick to his body when he has nothing to do.

That night, Chu Lin was still lying in his arms, a little drowsy because of the hands touching his back.

"We'll go to Jiangnan in a few days."

Hearing him say this suddenly, Chu Lin became more sober. He raised his head and looked at him and asked, "How can we go to Jiangnan? How long will we go?"

"Shall we go and settle there?" Zhao Xu touched his face.

Compared with the capital city, life in Jiangnan is naturally more comfortable, at least you don't have to run to the palace just because of the emperor's words, and you don't have to deal with so many people.

Thinking of his identity, Chu Lin was not sure: "Is it possible?"

"As long as you want, of course you can," Zhao Xu said.

"Does the emperor agree?"

"agreed."

Hearing that the emperor agreed, Chu Lin completely lost sleepiness, sat up and said, "Then when shall we leave?"

Seeing him like this, Zhao Xu didn't understand what he was doing. He patted his head and said, "In two days, I have to pack my things first."

"En." After Chu Lin nodded, he became curious again, "How could the emperor agree with you to leave the capital?"

"I didn't serve in the imperial court, so I can go wherever I want." Zhao Xu said lightly, but in fact, the emperor agreed to him to settle in the south of the Yangtze River without a second thought, but it was because he handed over the legacy left to him by the late emperor. A shadow guard.

Thinking that they met in Hangzhou back then, Chu Lin believed his words.

"Go to sleep." Seeing him moving around on his body, Zhao Xu patted him on the back.

Chu Lin, who wanted to say how he could still sleep after hearing the news, suddenly thought of the consequences of saying he couldn't sleep last time before he could speak, so he closed his mouth and eyes.

The news of their departure from the capital did not spread, except that after the palace sent some things over the day before, the next morning, carriages drove quietly from Prince An's Mansion to the outside of the city.

An interesting thing happened on the road. One day, when I missed the nearest town and had to sleep outside, I saw them roasting wild game. A young man in a team not far away even carried a bowl of dry mix. Instant noodles came over.

Hearing what he said, he told them Amway instant noodles again, because he ate too much instant noodles, so Chu Lin, who wanted to eat game more at this time, was a little dumbfounded.

But he didn't have any malice, he just recommended something he thought was good, Chu Lin still smiled and nodded to him, expressing his acceptance of his Amway.

It didn't matter where Zhao Xu himself went, so he asked Chu Lin where he wanted to live.

Compared with unfamiliar places, Chu Lin would definitely prefer to go to Hangzhou, where they have stayed for a while, and it is the place where they first met.

So, Zhao Xu, who also thought that it was the place where they first met, ordered people to go in the direction of Hangzhou.

After arriving in Hangzhou, Chu Lin lived a life like a pension. Apart from reading books and practicing calligraphy, Chu Lin spent his days eating and sleeping.

However, Xia Jinyu later heard that he had gone to Jiangnan, and found that he didn't even write much novels, and mentioned that he could publish books in ancient times.

Chu Lin, who was awakened, immediately gained motivation. After turning out the book on cultivating immortals and correcting it, he started to look for books in the city that could publish books.

Coincidentally, the young owner of the first bookshop he found happened to be the "foolish son of the landlord"——Chen Shi.

I still remember that when he was wronged as a kidnapper, it was the officers and soldiers he helped call. Chen Shi was very enthusiastic about him, and he smiled a little silly on his ferocious face.

Hearing that he had a book in mind, Chen Shi took the book and read it himself, and was attracted by the content of the book after a while.

The content of the book was good, and it was someone who helped him. After reading the manuscript he brought over, Chen Shi immediately decided to publish it.

Chu Lin, who had never published a physical book in modern times, was extremely happy, and the smile on his face never stopped after he returned.

After finding the target, Chu Lin began to prepare to write the article again, but because he hadn't written for a while, he procrastinated as soon as he started the new article.

Hearing that he wakes up early every morning and clamors to write, but always delays writing a few words until night, Zhao Xu smiled helplessly.

Chu Lin, who already hated his own procrastination, heard his laughter, and immediately rushed over and pinched his face, "It's fine if you don't supervise my writing, you still laugh!"

Zhao Xu, who just wanted to say that supervision was useless, showed innocent eyes and let him pinch his face.

Seeing that he didn't resist, Chu Lin felt bored, let go of his hand, and sighed a little weakly, "I feel that my procrastination has entered the advanced stage, and there is no cure at all!"

Listening to his chanting every day, Zhao Xu, who knew what procrastination meant, patted his head comfortingly.

"I must write [-] words tomorrow!" Chu Lin promised again after a while.

Even if he saw his own "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" filter, Zhao Xu didn't believe his words, and thought it would be good if he could write three thousand tomorrow. Of course, he only dared to think about this fact in his heart. You have to make an expression of trusting him.

After settling down in the south of the Yangtze River, the two lived a warm and sweet life. The biggest problem was the procrastination of Chu Lin's war, and they fought and lost repeatedly.
