When Lin Xiu was about to walk out of the central palace, she realized that Emperor Xia didn't seem to say a word about bun shop just now, maybe he forgot?

As soon as this thought arose, a person strode up behind him.

Zhu Jin walked up to Lin Xiu and said, "Today..."

Lin Xiu said decisively: "I left home today and went to practice at the Academy of Different Arts. I don't know what kind of private visit, what kind of steamed stuffed bun shop proprietress, what holding hands..."

Zhu Jin nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Your Majesty likes to eat the buns in that shop very much, and I don't want anything to happen to that shop. It is not good for the secret investigation department to intervene in this matter. What Your Majesty means is that you should take care of them on weekdays." point……"

Lin Xiu let out a "bah" in her heart.

Why does His Majesty like to eat buns from that shop? What he likes to eat must be the stuffed buns from the proprietress!

lsp!

The emperor went out of the palace to pick up widows. The fewer people who know about it, the better. He had accidentally boarded a pirate ship. Lin Xiu could only nod helplessly, and said, "I know..."

As soon as Zhu Jin left, Lin Xiu was at the entrance of the Central Palace and saw Princess Minghe with an angry face.

Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu, and said angrily: "I heard what you said to the emperor just now, is this princess so unbearable? What do you mean by those words!"

The relationship between Lin Xiu and Princess Minghe is not what it used to be.

In the past, they were enemies who disliked each other.

Now the two are double repair partners who meet every day.

In front of her, Lin Xiu had nothing to say. He sighed and said, "Your Highness should know that what I said was not aimed at you. The people all say that you would rather marry a beggar than a princess and let me be your son-in-law." Might as well let me die..."

"I don't care!" Princess Minghe glared at him and said, "Anyway, I heard you speak ill of me, unless you give me a bottle of perfume that is the same as that of the imperial concubine, otherwise I will not forgive you!"

After making a big circle, Princess Minghe was still coveting his perfume.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to wait, it takes time to make perfume."

Princess Minghe finally showed a smile, and said: "For the sake of being so sensible, I will forgive you this time."

Lin Xiu has experienced how difficult Princess Minghe is. If she doesn't promise her, I'm afraid she won't give up easily.

It was originally a special offering for the imperial concubine, and there was no plan to mass-produce it. If it was given to Princess Minghe, it would have to be given to Lingyin. If it was given to Lingyin, Lingyin's mother should also give a bottle, otherwise it would appear that he has no filial piety.

They all had it, and of course Xue Ning'er also wanted it.

Why don't you give me a bottle of Caiyi?

It seems that the next batch of perfume will have to make a few more bottles.

Lin Xiu originally planned to go directly to the Martial Arts Academy, but thinking that the imperial concubine heard that he was injured yesterday and immediately asked Linglong to come out of the palace to see him, it is best to go to the Changchun Palace first to report to the imperial concubine that she is safe.

When she came to Changchun Palace and was brought into the palace by Linglong, Lin Xiu found that besides the imperial concubine, there was another person here today.

This young woman was no stranger to Lin Xiu. He had seen it before when he was making ice for various palaces. She was also a concubine in the harem. She had just entered the palace and seemed to be the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Lin Xiu clasped her fists and said, "I've seen the imperial concubine, I've seen the nobleman Wang."

Lin Xiu was a little surprised to see other concubines in the Changchun Palace. There are many concubines in the harem, and they naturally formed small groups. It also has its own small circle.

The imperial concubine always walks and walks alone in the harem, frightening the concubines with her reputation as a tigress, and has never been approached by other concubines.

Seemingly seeing Lin Xiu's doubts, the imperial concubine said: "On the night of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, if Mr. Wang hadn't brought out the Buddhist beads that were going to be given to the Empress Dowager, I couldn't do anything for the little girl of the Xue family. To save the siege, speaking of it, you also owe Wang Guiren a favor."

Only now did Lin Xiu realize that there was such an inside story in it, and saluted Wang Guiren again, and said, "Student thanked Wang Guiren."

Wang Guiren smiled and said: "I didn't do anything, if you want to thank you, you can thank the imperial concubine."

Giving the string of Buddhist beads to the imperial concubine was the most correct thing she did.

No one in the harem now knows that she is protected by a noble concubine, and the little sluts who bullied her and robbed her of her palace all came to her door to apologize one by one. No amount of beads can be exchanged for this.

With the imperial concubine, Lin Xiu doesn't have to be so polite.

It's useless to say thank you, but to the imperial concubine, he always uses practical actions.

The imperial concubine originally did not participate in the harem battles, and never wooed the small circle. For him, even this rule was broken. This made Lin Xiu feel that he was not good enough for the imperial concubine.

At this time, Wang Guiren looked at the concubine and asked, "My concubine, I don't know what spices you use. It smells much better than the sachets worn by my concubines. I also want the maids to buy some." ..."

The imperial concubine took a crystal bottle from the table beside her and said, "The ones used by this Palace are not spices."

She opened the cork of the crystal bottle, and Wang Guiren smelled it, his eyes lit up, and he said: "This is the smell, empress, what is it, and where did you buy it?"

The imperial concubine was a little proud, and said: "This thing is called perfume, and it is not sold anywhere."

She took a look at Lin Xiu and said, "If you have more in the future, give Wang Guiren a bottle. After all, she has helped you too."

Lin Xiudao: "Sure, I'm planning to make a few more bottles recently."

The imperial concubine heard that he had such a plan, and said: "Remember to keep two more bottles for me, I won't take advantage of you, I can pay you money, but don't set the price too high, I will The annual palace share is only 800 taels..."

The imperial concubine was offended when she said this, she was so kind to herself, what's wrong with letting her take advantage?

However, is the imperial concubine's annual palace so small? It's only 800 taels, which is not enough for him to sell a few bottles of wine.

No wonder she always rewarded him with old used jewelry, because she was short of silver too.

How could Lin Xiu make the imperial concubine short of money?

He thought for a while, and said: "Mother, I have an idea. Since ladies like this perfume so much, women who want to come outside should be no exception. There are huge business opportunities in it. I plan to open a shop and sell it exclusively. This kind of perfume, the empress can invest some money in it, and when the time comes, she can still share the profits from the store every month."

The imperial concubine's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said: "This is a good idea. In the past two days, several concubines have asked me what spices I use..."

Soon, her beautiful eyebrows frowned again, and she said: "However, it's the end of the year, and this year's palace is almost spent. It seems that there are only less than 100 taels left. Is this enough money?"

Lin Xiu smiled and said: "That's not a problem. I can borrow 1 taels from the imperial concubine first, and then deduct it from the empress's dividend when the store has profit..."

The imperial concubine immediately felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Remembering what Linglong said, he almost died outside again this time, the imperial concubine looked at him and exhorted: "Why do you encounter such life-threatening and dangerous things every time, and you should be careful when doing things on weekdays, don't always It's careless, and I have to worry about you."

Lin Xiu said with embarrassment: "Thank you for your concern, the imperial concubine, I understand."

There were outsiders in Changchun Palace today, and Lin Xiu didn't want to stay for long, so she had a conversation with the little guy and left the harem.

It wasn't until Wang Guiren also left that the imperial concubine realized what happened just now, and said, "Oh, no, the money he lent to me is still his money..."

Lin Xiu got in her way just now, and now she realizes that she didn't do anything from the beginning to the end, and didn't pay a tael of silver. She just opened an extra shop for nothing and received monthly income...

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

The exquisite little maid covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, the young master is deliberately trying to let you take advantage of him. He is so kind to your Majesty. In this way, our Changchun Palace will have a lot more palaces every month... ..."

Chapter 108

Lin Xiu doesn't like letting people take advantage of her, but she also divides people.

If Qin Wan pays a few pennies for face money, he will feel that he has lost money, because the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

But for the imperial concubine, as long as he has what he can give her, he will not be stingy.

In Lin Xiu's heart, she was actually like a sister.

Although this body is only there, Lin Xiu's soul has lived for 26 years. The imperial concubine is 32 years old this year, only six years older than him.

From the time Lin Xiu started to remember things, he has never experienced what family affection is. In those years, seeing other people of the same age being loved by their parents and favored by their brothers and sisters, he could only secretly envy them.

Compared with the previous life, this life is much happier.

There are parents who care at home, noble concubines in the palace who love them, and girls who like them in the academy. If he can still marry a girl he really likes, it will be even more perfect. .

After leaving the palace and having a casual meal outside, Lin Xiu came to the Martial Arts Institute.

He should be credited with annihilating that group of insane gangsters. Although he failed to kill all of them, he killed at least two of them. The reward for that mission cannot be hacked.

After finding Vice President Chen, he gave Lin Xiu a consoling look, and said, "Don't worry, you have contributed a lot to recovering those goods and annihilating those gangsters. I'm going to ask Teacher Bai to ask you, you What kind of weapon do you want, the academy will build it for you as soon as possible."

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "I want two spears."

Vice President Chen said unexpectedly: "Two?"

Lin Xiu asked: "I want to use two guns occasionally, can't I?"

Vice President Chen nodded and said, "If it's just two, it's okay..."

In principle, he can only designate one weapon, but Lin Xiu's luck played a big role in the successful completion of this mission, and he also had an accident during the mission and almost died, so he can give it to him as appropriate. He set a precedent.

The melting point of meteoric iron is very high, and ordinary blacksmiths cannot make it. Even if it is a martial arts academy, it needs to hire a ground-level magician with the ability to control fire to make it.

In the next few days, besides practicing, Lin Xiu mainly did two things.

The first thing is to follow up on the construction of the two meteor spears. After all, they are his own weapons. He has participated in every process from the initial design of the prototype gun to the completion of the gun.

The second thing is to find Li Baizhang and tell him how to make the perfume.

With high-purity alcohol, the manufacture of perfume is not difficult. The Prince Qin's Mansion is not short of manpower, so Lin Xiu doesn't have to worry about the business affairs if he is entrusted to Li Baizhang.

As for the future profits of the perfume shop, Li Baizhang [-]%, Lin Xiu [-]%, the imperial concubine [-]%, and Xue Ning'er [-]%.

After Lin Xiu thought about it, she decided to bring Xue Ning'er into the gang.

For one thing, he owed Xue Ning'er too much emotionally, so he tried to make up for it if he could.

Secondly, didn't she say she wanted to buy a house? If she didn't become a rich woman first, where would she get the money to buy a house?

And if it wasn't for her flying ability last time, Lin Xiu might not be alive now, so he decided that he must treat her better in the future.

The name of the shop is "Ningxiangzhai", named after Xue Ning'er, who is also the name proprietress of the shop.

The shop is still in preparation, and Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang have already set the price of the perfume.

Like the small bottle of perfume he gave to the imperial concubine, a bottle of 100 taels of silver, no bargaining, whether you like it or not.

After careful consideration, Lin Xiu still decided to let go of the common people in the capital and continue to plunder the rich and powerful, since it was easy for them to get money.

It is not easy for ordinary people to make money. Perfume is not a necessity in life, it is just to earn money from the rich and powerful. People like Chen Yuanyuan have more than enough money to spend, so they always have a place to go. The shops of Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang, Pay taxes to the court on time every month, and be a conscientious businessman who properly pays taxes to the country.

Five days later, Lin Xiu walked out of the Martial Arts Academy.

He held a long gun in each hand.

The bodies of the two guns are both silver in color. After the meteorite is forged, it will be this color. The two guns are not the same length, one is more than eight feet long, and the other is shorter, but it also looks like seven feet.

There are complicated patterns on the body of the two guns. The purpose of these patterns is to increase the friction with the palm of the hand, so that the owner of the spear can hold the gun more stably when fighting.

If you look carefully, you will find that the patterns on the body of the eight-foot long spear are more like dragon scales, and the curve of the spear head is also like a dragon's head.

And that seven-foot long spear, the pattern on the body of the gun looks like a phoenix feather, and the tip of the gun looks like a phoenix head screaming up to the sky from a distance. Obviously, it is a woman's weapon.

Lin Xiu asked the Martial Arts Academy to build two long spears, one for himself and the other for Lingyin.

Weapons made of meteoric iron are not only sharper and more durable, but also easy to infuse true energy, making them ideal weapons for warriors.

After coming to the Different Arts Academy, Lin Xiu directly entered the Tianzi Academy.

Although he is not a student of Tianziyuan, he has come here quite a few times, and now he can come and go here freely, and no one cares about him.

Lingyin was practicing marksmanship in the yard. She seemed to be stimulated by Lin Xiu. These days, she spent significantly more time on martial arts.

Lin Xiu passed the seven-foot spear far away, and said, "Try this gun."

Zhao Lingyin took the gun out of thin air, and took a few steps back before stopping.

She was surprised, she didn't expect that the gun was so heavy that she needed her true energy to pick it up.

Feeling the weight of the spear in her hand, she seemed to remember something, looked at Lin Xiu, and asked, "Is this made of meteorite?"

Possessing a weapon made of meteorite is probably the dream of every warrior.

It's just that meteorites are too rare, and only when a large number of meteorites fall on the ground can there be a small amount of meteorites.

Almost all the extraterrestrial meteorites in Daxia are managed by the Martial Arts Institute, and it is difficult for outsiders to obtain them.

Not even her.

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "The Martial Arts Academy rewarded me with a piece of meteorite, and I asked them to build two long spears. Let's try."

Zhao Lingyin tried to use this spear to perform several types of marksmanship, and found that the power of each spear was several times higher than before. This long spear can give full play to her strength.

Lin Xiu looked at her from a distance and asked, "How is it?"

Zhao Lingyin put away the spear and said: "Weapons made of meteoric iron are of course much better than ordinary weapons."

Lin Xiudao: "I see you off."

This time, Zhao Lingyin did not refuse.

She knew that the spear in her hand was very valuable, enough to exchange for a large courtyard in the capital. If it was given to her by someone else, she would refuse without hesitation.
