As the proprietress of the shop, she mobilized her contacts a few days ago and held an "Incense Appreciation Party" in Xue's Mansion. She invited ladies from various families in the capital and gave each of them a gift. A sample of the perfume.

Before Ningxiangzhai opened, it had already set off a frenzy in the circle of ladies and ladies in the capital.

There are so many people queuing up to buy a bottle of 100 taels of perfume. Lin Xiu underestimated the purchasing power of women and the rich people in the capital.

Opposite Ningxiangzhai is a tea house.

At this time, on the second floor of the tea house, in the Accord opposite to Ningxiangzhai, Li Baizhang stood in front of the window, looked at the crowd below, and couldn't help but said: "This small bottle of perfume, our profit is at least 90 taels. It's not too dark..."

Lin Xiudao: "If you think it's black, you can quit."

Li Baizhang waved his hand and said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

There is a difference between having money and not having money. After a while, he will be able to buy another house in the capital. He has been looking forward to this for a long time.

Not long after, the three of them came down from the teahouse.

At this time, Ningxiangzhai's perfume has been sold out.

Like the fairy drunk in Hongniju, there are countless ladies and ladies in the capital, but the number of perfumes is limited, not everyone can buy them on the first day, and many people return disappointed, thinking Tomorrow, the servants at home must come earlier to line up.

Some people even planned to let the servants start lining up at night.

There were also some young men in the queue who left muttering when they heard the news that the perfume was sold out.

Although they don't need this thing, they can give it to the girl they like as a gift to win their favor.

These few days Wang was very lively, after leaving the teahouse, the three of them strolled casually in the street.

Li Bozhang walked on Lin Xiu's left, Xue Ning'er walked on Lin Xiu's right, Li Bozhang said with emotion: "There are so many rich people in the capital, fine wine for 100 taels of silver, perfume for 100 taels of silver, even if it is a workshop that costs twelve a day Shichen's production is far from enough..."

Lin Xiu looked at the beggars on the street corner ahead and said, "Although there are many rich and powerful who spend a lot of money, there are also many poor people who can't afford to eat."

Outside Ningxiang Pavilion, countless people lined up to buy a small bottle of perfume for 100 taels of silver.

But across the street, there are still people who are homeless, and even have to rely on other people's charity for food.

Li Baizhang and Xue Ning'er threw a few pieces of broken silver into the bowls of those beggars, which immediately aroused their looting.

Lin Xiu walked up to an old beggar and asked, "Old man, where did you sleep at night?"

The old man didn't expect such a nobleman to talk to him, he stammered, "Sleep, sleep under the bridge hole."

Lin Xiu pretended to be a beggar and slept on the streets of Wangdu two days ago. He knew how cold it was outside at night, and it was not the coldest time of the year. By then, it would be difficult for an old man like this to survive.

He thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll take you to a place where you can live in the future. Although the place is not very big, it can at least keep out the wind and cold at night."

Lin Xiu was talking about the house she lived in before. After moving to the palace, no one lived in that house, and it was empty. Why don't these beggars have a shelter so that they won't freeze to death this winter.

Xue Ning'er was more thoughtful than Lin Xiu. After guessing Lin Xiu's intentions, she immediately asked the maid following behind to buy a lot of quilts and sent someone to deliver them here.

There are not many rooms in the Lin family's old house. Under normal circumstances, there are not many people to live in, but the beggars are about to freeze to death, so naturally they won't occupy a room each.

The quilts were spread on the floor one by one, and the side rooms and ear rooms were all covered, even if beggars from the entire capital came here, they could still sleep.

After learning that someone provided them with free housing, the beggars spread the word, and a steady stream of beggars came here. They fell to the ground and saluted Lin Xiu and the three together.

"Thank you son and miss for your kindness!"

"You are good people, good people will be rewarded!"

"Blessed by the Bodhisattva, the young master and the young lady will be free from disease and calamity throughout their lives, and live a long and prosperous life..."

……

It was the first time for a good deed to be thanked by so many people. On the way home, Xue Ning'er's mouth was curled up. After sending her home, Lin Xiu and Li Baizhang walked on the street.

Li Baizhang said with emotion: "The king's capital is still like this. I don't know how many homeless people will freeze to death in other prefectures outside the king's capital this winter."

Lin Xiudao: "All the land in the world belongs to the rich and powerful. The people have worked hard for a year, but they can barely feed themselves. What's more, it is difficult to feed themselves. They can only beg for their last breath..."

Li Baizhang looked at Lin Xiu, and said in a low voice, "It's better for us to talk about these words, and don't let outsiders hear them."

He walked beside Lin Xiu, shook his head and said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, this world is dominated by the rich and powerful. They have the most powerful bloodlines, the top powerhouses, and every powerful family has countless different magicians and masters." Warriors are vassals, they rely on them to stop the beast tide, they rely on them to quell the rebellion, and the court needs to rely on their strength to deal with the mainland countries, and their power comes from this."

Lin Xiu actually knew what Li Baizhang said.

Many things in this world are not as simple as black and white.

Because of the existence of the powerful, the lives of the common people are very difficult.

But if there were no dignitaries, the common people might have no life at all.

The royal family is jealous of them, but they cannot live without them.

Unless Daxia has no internal and external troubles, at that time, the existence of powerful and powerful people will be completely unnecessary.

Of course, even at that time, it will not be easy to change things that have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.

In the past, Lin Xiu only wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible, so that while he could control his own destiny, he could also protect the people he wanted to protect.

Now, his thinking has undergone some changes.

He wants to do more.

For Chen Yu who died, and for more Chen Yu.

Li Baizhang patted Lin Xiu's shoulder and said: "Actually, there were several ancestors who wanted to change all this, but the power of the rich and powerful is too strong, and it has been deeply rooted, and is inseparable from the royal family. If you want to change these, unless you have The strength of the upper realm."

He said with emotion: "If you have the strength of the supreme realm, there is nothing you can't do in this world. What are the few dignitaries in the Great Xia? There are many dynasties in the mainland. Whoever you want to be the emperor can do it." To be emperor..."

Lin Xiu glanced at him and said, "If I have the strength of the Supreme Realm, I will let you be the emperor, let you marry whoever you want, and marry as many as you want."

Li Bozhang was stunned for a moment, then moved, he put his arms around Lin Xiu's shoulders, and said seriously: "I want to be the emperor, and I will marry Xue Ning'er to you first, the two of the Zhao family, which one do you want to marry? You can also marry together, and Miss Wan'er, Miss Wan'er, I will also let you..."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 120 Brother-in-law

Li Bozhang knew that Lin Xiu was joking.

The throne is not so good, this matter, even the father can not decide.

The prince is the crown prince, backed by the most powerful first-class family in Daxia, and the next emperor of Daxia is likely to be him.

The other [-]% possibility lies with King Qi.

And even if the crown prince died suddenly and the king of Qi died, the two families would probably send other young women from the family to the palace so that the father would continue to have children, and it would not be his turn anyway.

Lin Xiu was not joking.

The Supreme Realm is nothing more than nine times of awakening the ability of different arts. Is it difficult?

If he really only awakened the magic of ice, it would be quite difficult.

With his basic talent, if he wants to practice step by step to the supreme state, it will take about five or six hundred years if everything goes well.

To be conservative, let’s say 600 years.

He is now six times the basic practice speed, which is 100 years.

For ordinary people, they may not live to this time.

But Lin Xiu has the ability to heal. Under normal circumstances, it is more than enough to live to be more than 100 years old.

However, just because he can survive does not mean that Li Baizhang can survive.

Even if Li Baizhang survived ten thousand steps back, he would be 120 years old at that time, and even if he had to marry a hundred concubines, he would not need them.

But six times the speed of practice is not Lin Xiu's limit.

Breaking through to the upper realm of the Xuan rank, the number of his abilities will increase by at least four.

If he can copy the four heavenly abilities, it will be ten times the speed of practice.

Dividing six hundred by ten, he can practice to the supreme state in only 60 years.

At that time, Li Bozhang was 80 years old --- it seemed that he still didn't need it.

But if he has twenty useful abilities, this time will be shortened to thirty years.

Thirty, 20 years.

If there are sixty, it only takes ten years.

Of course, there are not so many sky-level abilities, even if there are, he can get them, but there are only 24 hours a day, and he doesn't have that much time to practice.

It seems that even if Lin Xiuneng made Li Bozhang emperor during his lifetime, his body might not allow him to have fun anymore.

Lin Xiu couldn't help mourning for him.

……

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu told Uncle Ping'an and his wife about the old house. Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Xiu'er has grown up, you can decide these things yourself, and it's a good deed. It is also for the sake of the Lin family, I hope that after you and Lingjun get married, you can give us a grandson or granddaughter soon..."

Lin Xiu fled in despair. He wasn't even ready to get married, let alone have a baby.

He really enjoyed the process of having a baby.

He used to sing and sing every night. In the past six months, although he didn't have any women around him, he was still interested in his practice, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

It's all Ake's fault.

What are you talking about? Lin Xiu is a normal man, a man with normal physical needs, unless he has a hidden disease, if a normal man sees that kind of scene, if he doesn't react at all, there will be a problem.

Her body opened the Pandora's box in Lin Xiu's heart, and it could never be closed again.

Lin Xiu these two days, as long as she sleeps, she must dream.

And every time he dreams, he will dream of a big white moon, or a white rabbit that jumps around.

The culprit who caused all this has never appeared again.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't show up, but Lin Xiu from the province was thinking wildly after seeing her.

Two days passed quickly, and today is New Year's Eve.

After tonight is the new year.

The royal capital tonight is naturally lively. Countless fireworks are blooming in the night sky, reflecting the night sky like daytime. Of course, almost all the fireworks are blooming in the east city. Most of the people, on the dinner table tonight, can have one more Meat dishes are considered Chinese New Year.

The meals in the Lin Mansion tonight were very sumptuous. The hosts sat at one table, and the servants sat at two tables. Even the family dog ​​had five dishes in front of him. There were four dishes and one soup, including fish and meat.

For the past ten years or so, Lin Xiu spent New Year's Eve alone.

Although there is no Spring Festival Gala in this world, it is the most youthful year that Lin Xiu has ever lived. He seldom drinks alcohol on weekdays, but tonight, he was drunk for the first time.

When he woke up from the bed, it was already daylight.

He was woken up by the little maid at home. Uncle Ping'an and his wife knew that Lin Xiu practiced hard, and they would not wake him up even if he slept late on weekdays, but today was different. They had to eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year. And there must be no one person in the family, which means reunion.

After eating dumplings, there are a series of rituals and customs.

Worshiping ancestors is also one of the important things to do on the first day of the new year.

This is especially important for the rich and powerful.

Any powerful family in the Great Xia cannot achieve today's brilliance without the blood inheritance of their ancestors, so they respect and cherish their ancestors very much. Even the royal family will hold large-scale ancestor worship activities today.

Lin Xiu followed her parents to the cemetery outside the city to pay homage to the ancestors of the Lin family. After that, they had to go to the temple to offer incense and pay their respects.

Lin Xiu didn't go with them, he followed the old beggar and the salesman to another grave.

To his surprise, there were still a few figures in front of Chen Yu's grave.

Several girls were kneeling in front of her grave, weeping, and the old bustard of Pinfang Pavilion was also there, which surprised Lin Xiu a little.

It turned out that so many people still remembered her.

Seeing Lin Xiu, the old bustard hurried over and said, "My lord, you are here too..."

Seeing Lin Xiu's eyes looking at those girls, the old bustard explained: "My lord doesn't know something, Haitang... no, when Ayu was still here, when he saw girls being sold into brothels, he would buy them with his own money. , has been supporting them, otherwise, she should have redeemed herself long ago..."

Lin Xiu looked at those little girls. Their age ranged from eight or nine years old to fifteen or sixteen years old. She was sold into a brothel at about the same age.

Perhaps, it was Chen Yu who saw herself in them.

She doesn't want these children to repeat her mistakes.

Lin Xiu asked, "What are they going to do in the future?"

The old bustard said: "I gave them the money she left behind, let them fend for themselves. Although they can support themselves in the brothel, in that case, Ayu's painstaking efforts will be in vain..."

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "Let them follow me."

Although the Lin family no longer needs maidservants, they can still work in Ningxiangzhai, which is better than letting them fend for themselves. A few little girls have no ability to make a living. Without background and backing, it is difficult for them to protect themselves.
