Chapter 261 Who doesn't know that the Shangshu family has a favored daughter?
After Lin Mo had distributed all the things, she sighed with comfort.
Finally, these things were distributed. They were really too heavy.
She was tired of eating all along the way. Anyway, she would be home tomorrow, so she might as well distribute these foods tonight.
If the dried meat cannot be distributed, then the dried fruits can be distributed.
When she went to bed at night, Lin Mo was lying on the bed and was particularly looking forward to it. [Xiao Bai, do you think there will be a robbery tonight, just like the last time?]
Bai Xiao replied in a daze: [No, no, go to bed quickly. You are exhausted from rushing all day. If there are robberies every day, then your country will really have problems. ã
Lin Mo thought about it and felt that what he said seemed to be true. The last time was just a coincidence. It can't be a coincidence every time.
There are not many rooms in the temple. Many of them are for the female members of the family to sleep together. Lin Mo was in a corner, next to his sister and mother. Bai Xiao was in her quilt, and even his head didn't show up .
Madam Lin woke up in the middle of the night to see if Lin Mo kicked the quilt.
Looking at Lin Mo sleeping with his legs spread out, Madam Lin silently took her legs off her eldest daughter. Sleeping like she was practicing martial arts.
Early the next morning, under the majesty of Madam Lin, Lin Mo got up from the bed aggrievedly.
Daddy is still the best. Mom is always so fierce.
They arrived in the capital in the afternoon. When they saw the prosperous capital, many people cheered a little.
Although the outside world is nice, the prosperity is still more prosperous than that of the capital. The first few days in the Summer Resort are indeed quite fun, but it is not interesting anymore.
It is impossible for these young men and young ladies from noble families to hang out outside every day. At most, they can walk around the Summer Resort or nearby, and it is impossible for them to go out like Lin Mo.
And that place is full of mountains, so it is not safe to go out.
"I want to get off the car, I want to get off the car, Dad and Mom, give me money quickly, I want to go down to buy food!"
Lin Mo was really anxious in the carriage, but it was a pity that she didn't have a penny.
Mrs. Lin gave her a purse in a bad mood: "Go home early, don't always eat those messy things."
Lin Mo's mind was no longer here, and she had already flown to a snack stand. She nodded and jumped off the carriage.
Xiaobai, who was riding a horse outside, also stopped. As for the wild boar that was ridden over, it followed slowly behind.
When passing by some villages on the way, it was almost beaten by the villagers.
When Lin Mo got off the car, the peacock and the stupid beauty followed closely.
Soon, the big head of the west met.
Lin Mo waved his hand and said proudly: "Come on, come on, I'll treat you to something to eat. My mother gave me pocket money today!"
This small purse is not small. My mother is really generous this time, and she gave me money very straightforwardly. In the past, when I asked her for money, I couldn't get it without asking three or five times.
Looking at the small purse in Lin Mo's hand, Hua Kongque and Chen Meiren silently took out their own purses.
My goodness, this purse is at least twice as bulging as Lin Mo's.
Bai Xiao: "Hahahaha, these two people are much richer than you, and you are treating them. It really makes me laugh to death."
Lin Mo looked at his purse and then at the purses of the two people, with a look of disbelief on his face. No, is the difference so big! Are
these two people so rich? They actually have so much money!
Looking at Bai Xiao who was still laughing, Lin Mo said grimly: "Don't forget that you don't have a penny on you now. If you laugh again, I will let you watch while I eat and feed you to death!"
Bai Xiao's smile disappeared instantly. Is it so vicious!
Hua Kongque and Ben Meiren said generously: "It's okay, today's expenses are for the two of us to treat. This is all the money we saved in the summer resort during this period of time."
They had no place to spend money during this period of time. The things sold by the villagers at the market at the foot of the mountain were not expensive, and they didn't go there after buying a few times.
So they saved all the money. Because they were more honest and obedient during this period of time, their parents gave them some extra silver as a reward.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have so much money under normal circumstances, and it might be even less than what Lin Mo has.
Because their parents are afraid that they will go out and mess around, and afraid that they will be cheated.
What if a man with money learns bad things from others? There are also some guys who sneak to those places of fireworks without their parents' knowledge.
Didn't someone die of syphilis a few years ago? The family said it was an accidental death. In fact, everyone knows that there is no impenetrable wall in Beijing.
Hearing the two people talking about treating, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao's eyes lit up.
Treating is good, and they don't need to spend money.
"Come on, come on, what are we waiting for? Let's eat from one end to the other. I've been missing these delicious foods so much!"
The Westerner really ate from one end of the street to the other, which amazed all the small vendors.
The small vendors were almost familiar with Lin Mo. She was the daughter of the Shangshu family, a person who grew up in the palm of his hand. Now she is still a female official of the current dynasty. It is said that she is still highly valued by the emperor.
"Master Xiaolin is back. Come and try this chestnut crisp. Didn't you like eating my chestnut crisp the most before?"
"And my barbecue. My barbecue is so delicious. Master Xiaolin has praised me before."
Looking at the enthusiasm of these small vendors, Hua Kongque and Stupid Beauty really admired Lin Mo.
It's not easy to be recognized by so many small merchants.
Lin Mo chuckled and explained, "I've been playing in this area since I was a child. They watched me grow up. I can say that all the money I have is spent on them."
"When my father beat me when I was a child, I ran here and they helped me stop my father, but unfortunately they failed."
Yes, I have been a devil since I was a child. I played with those rich girls and hung out with small merchants, grandmothers and maids every day.
Everyone in this area knows that the Shangshu family has a very spoiled daughter. She is really held in the palm of her hand for fear of dropping her and in her mouth for fear of melting. She is strictly controlled, but this little ancestor does not listen to discipline at all and runs outside every day.
At that time, Shangshu Lin even specifically instructed the merchants here that if they saw his little bastard, please catch him and send him to the Lin Mansion, and there would be a reward.
Of course, this reward is indeed very attractive, but Xiao Lin Mo relied on her personal charm to make these small merchants become her cover.

Chapter 262 Just get used to her
In the end, this person really ate until his belly was full. Lin Mo ate and took away and did not forget to bring a few portions for his family.
Of course, the portion she took home was paid for by herself. She was a person of propriety and would not always take advantage of her friends.
"It's getting late and I should go back. See you next time."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he burped. He was really satisfied. It turned out that the taste of Beijing was suitable for her.
The two people also waved their hands and supported each other to go home. It was too heavy and they had never been so heavy before. However, Master Xiaolin's food was so delicious that they could not help but eat with him.
Bai Xiao: "Why don't we go through the small door? If we use the key to enter through the main door, we still have to walk across a street. If we go through the small door, we can go home after crossing the alley."
The two looked at each other and immediately decided to go through the small door.
Any door is a door. The back door is also a door.
The servant guarding the back door was surprised when he heard the knock.
Generally, no one comes from the back door. Except for the maids and servants who buy and sell things and purchase supplies, basically no one comes here.
"Open the door, open the door, I'm back, Xiao Ke! Open the door quickly!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the servant guarding the door opened the door helplessly.
"Second Miss, why are you going through the back door again? This alley is dark. You'd better avoid this place. What if you encounter any danger?"
No one has ever seen a young lady as brave as theirs. Even the maids always go out of this door in groups. Although there has been no danger for so many years, and the people living around here are all officials, what if there are some desperate bandits who want to kidnap people for money?
Then these dark alleys are definitely the perfect ambush sites.
Lin Mo took out a pancake from her bosom and stuffed it into the boy's pocket: "Hey, why are you still so nagging? Eat the pancake, Xiao Ke, if you keep nagging, you will not be able to find a wife in the future."
The boy was speechless when he heard her words. Is this a question of whether I am nagging or not? Besides, I already have a wife!
"Second Miss, you forgot that I already had a wife last year, Xiao Ye from the kitchen."
Oh, I really forgot. Lin Mo knocked his head. This memory is really bad.
"Then I'll give you another one. You can take it back for your wife. This pancake is delicious, with meat in the middle. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Looking at the backs of the two little ancestors, the servant sighed helplessly and put the pancake in his arms. The pancake is still hot and it won't get cold easily if you put it in your arms.
The masters in their family are all very kind, and the most approachable one is the little ancestor in the family.
Although she likes to make trouble, she treats servants and people of lower status equally.
As long as the little ancestor passes by any door, these gatekeepers will give them a portion of food. They can be said to have indirectly tried all kinds of snacks in the capital.
Sometimes when they were resting and hanging out with friends from other houses, they were really proud of the host family.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, I'm back, and I brought you a lot of delicious food! You can't buy them outside!"
Lin Mo ran into the main hall with a lot of things in his arms, and Bai Xiao had even more things on him.
Looking at the two people like this, the Westerner who was preparing to have dinner twitched his mouth and was speechless.
"You didn't spend all the money I gave you today, did you? How greedy are you to buy so many kinds of food? Can you finish them tonight?"
Mrs. Lin touched her belly, and her belly was bulging, which meant that she had eaten outside.
Lin Mo put the food on the table with a grin, "Hua Kongque and I ate outside. They treated us to all the food we ate outside today. I bought all these with my own money and brought them to you."
"Most of the food can be stored for several days, or eaten tomorrow, but this roasted pigeon is really delicious, fragrant and crispy!"
As she spoke, she took out the roasted pigeon from the oil paper package.
Bai Xiao also echoed beside her, "Yes, yes, this roasted pigeon tastes the best among the pair. The boss's mobile phone case is ready!"
The two of them did not forget to lick their lips while talking. It seemed that the taste was really good.
This meal was really rich. Lin Mo bought roasted pigeons according to the appetite of herself and Bai Xiao.
She and Bai Xiao could each have one, so she thought that such a delicious pigeon should also be available to everyone in the family, so she bought the other pigeon back.
Looking at the remaining two pigeons, Bai Xiao whispered in her heart: [They eat so little that they can't even finish the other pigeon.]
Lin Mo agreed and said: [Yes, so I really don't understand how they can grow so tall with so little food.]
Bai Xiao: [I don't know, but we can eat the remaining two tomorrow, as breakfast tomorrow!] You
don't have to go to court tomorrow. The emperor sympathizes with everyone's tiredness from the bumpy journey today, so he will take a day off tomorrow and you don't have to go to court until the day after tomorrow.
The westerners of the Lin family were speechless when they heard that they were going to eat this roasted pigeon in the morning. They were ashamed of eating such greasy food so early in the morning.
In order to prevent the two guys from eating secretly in the middle of the night, Mrs. Lin locked up all the food at night and put it next to her bed.
Lin Mo: !!! How worried are they about me!
[Xiaobai, I was deeply hurt. They didn't believe me. How could I cheat?]
Bai Xiao: [That's right. Can people still have a little trust in each other?]
Both of them were accusing in their hearts, but they kept their facial expressions very well.
I have to say that these two people's expression management is really getting better and better. No matter what they say in their hearts, their expressions are always so well-behaved.
Minister Lin deliberately said, "I'll leave the roasted pigeon for your brother tomorrow. Your brother has some friends coming over, so it's a good idea to treat them."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes widened and he couldn't hold back his expression. [I don't want to! Can't I take them out to eat? Why do you have to snatch my pigeon? This roasted pigeon won't be so delicious after one day. Let them go out to eat!]
Lin Mo looked at Bai Xiao with a pitiful look in his eyes. Bai Xiao cleared his throat and said, "Uncle, it's not good to give the remaining pigeons to others. Let's eat them ourselves. We can ask people to buy a few more. They are best when they are roasted fresh."
Minister Lin snorted and said, "Just get used to her! "
(People: You said it as if you are not used to her.)

Chapter 263 The Legendary Old Prince
When Lin Qi's friends came over, Lin Mo was rolling around in Lin Qi's study.
"Hurry up and give me my book back, give me my book back!"
Bai Xiao also sat on the ground and hugged Lin Qi and his thighs, because all their books were confiscated, and Minister Lin put all the confiscated books in Lin Qi's place for safekeeping.
Looking at the two people on the ground, Lin Qi's head was about to explode.
No wonder his father put the confiscated things in his place, he must be afraid of being entangled by these two people, but why didn't he think about him, he was also afraid of being entangled by these two people!
Lin Qi kicked his feet hard and said helplessly: "I can't do anything about this. You should ask Dad for help. If I return your books to you privately, I will be punished. I am just a custodian. I really have no rights."
Lin Mo was really crying. When he returned to the room yesterday, he was about to take the storybooks happily. As a result, when he opened the drawer, all his treasures were gone. It was obvious who took the books.
"Brother, please have pity on me. I, your sister, don't have any other hobbies. I just like to read books. Don't you often ask me to read more books? Then why do you confiscate my books?"
They are all essences, and they are all unique in the world! Some storybooks are no longer available outside. They are the kind that are missing one.
We want you to read more books, but we don't want you to read books like this. Lin Qi grabbed Lin Mo's collar and pulled her aside.
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble here. No matter how long you make trouble here, there will only be one result. You might as well go find your father. My colleagues will be here soon. Then they will see you making fun of us."
The people at the door were laughing happily. They had come to see the joke.
These people were admitted at the same time as Lin Qi, and they had a good relationship.
When Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were chased out, they opened the door and saw five people lying at the door and eavesdropping.
Bai Xiao: [Roar! They are actually eavesdropping! They are so shameless. Are all scholars so shameless! Lin Mo
: Of course, scholars have always been thick-skinned since ancient times, and we are pretty thick-skinned too.
People at the door: ... You two are pretty thick-skinned, we are all embarrassed but you are not.
One person was the first to react and quickly greeted Lin Mo: "Hello, Master Xiao Lin, why didn't I see Master Xiao Lin walking outside some time ago."
Lin Mo replied with a wooden face: "Because I just came back from outside the capital, I just came back yesterday, of course it is impossible for me to be walking outside."
If I was walking outside some time ago, I would scare you to death. I'm in the Royal Summer Resort, and you can still see me in the capital. Do you think you would be scared to death?
Bai Xiao: Hahahaha, Lin Mo is called Mo in the capital, it's really scary. ã
The person who asked the question: ...
It is indeed quite scary. Master Xiaolin is still as humorous as ever.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere outside, Lin Qi finally came out to rescue them.
"What can you two do here? Go and ask Dad to return your storybooks to you. Dad has to go out today. If you are late, you will have no chance today."
Hearing this, Lin Mo and Bai Xiao disappeared in a flash. Nothing is more important than their storybooks!
Bai Xiao urged while running: "Hurry up! Lift your legs up!"
Lin Mo said anxiously: "I'm running very fast. How come you didn't know that my dad would go out today? What's the use of you!"
The two of them ran outside while arguing with each other, shirking responsibility.
Lin Qi shook his head helplessly and welcomed all his friends in. "Excuse me, excuse me. My little sister just loves to make noise."
The people at the door: "I understand."
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao blocked Minister Lin at the last moment before he went out.
Looking at the two people blocking the door, Minister Lin coughed. He knew what they were doing without thinking.
"Get out of the way. I have something to do today."
He didn't have time to mess around with them here. He had to meet an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Lin Mo looked at Bai Xiao: [What's going on with my dad today! He's not lying to us, is he? Check it out for me! Bai Xiao
: [I found out, he is going to see the old prince today, the old prince who eloped with someone else, the uncle of the current emperor.]
Lin Mo took a breath of cool air. The old prince that Bai Xiao often mentioned, the old prince who borrowed money from the emperor and took his own property to elope with a man!
He is still alive! He is quite long-lived!
But how does this old prince know his father? The ages of the two people don't match. Her father is of the same generation as the emperor, younger than the emperor, and this old prince is of the same generation as the previous emperor.
"Get out of my way quickly, and I will let your brother return your storybooks to you after I come back."
Lin Mo narrowed her eyes, she wanted the storybooks too, and she wanted to go to see the excitement!
He really wanted to see what the legendary old prince was like, and the man who eloped with the old prince.
"I want to go with you!"
Lin Mo raised his chin and his expression was particularly firm. Bai Xiao: "Yes, yes, we want to go with you!"
Looking at these two annoying things, Minister Lin's hands really started to itch.
They are like a bunch of idiots, why are they going to join in the fun at this time? Don't they have friends of their own?
Wouldn't that peacock and stupid beauty go to find them?
Minister Lin took over and pushed the two of them apart one by one, "Don't block the way, just go and play with your own friends, and don't interfere in matters between us adults."
Hearing this, Lin Mo was immediately dissatisfied, "Hehehe, what do you mean by don't interfere in matters between you adults, then didn't you tie me up when I didn't want to go to court? Isn't going to court a matter between you adults, Dad, you can't do this, you are going too far."
"You forced me to go to court and now I'm just going with you to meet your friend. Can't your friend be seen by others?"
As Lin Mo was talking, he also felt strange. This old prince loves male beauty. His father is so handsome. Could it be that these two people are really in love?
[Xiaobai! Check for me if my father and that prince have any affair! You don't want me to go, right? Then there must be a story!]
Bai Xiao: [Okay! I'll check for you right away!]

Chapter 264 Knowing that your nephew is poor, he still borrows money from others
Looking at the appearance of these two people, Minister Lin was really speechless.
If you are not allowed to go, it means that there is something fishy between us. According to your statement, all the officials in the court are fishy with me.
Bai Xiao: [After my careful investigation, there is no fishy relationship between your father and the old prince. The old prince loves his partner very much. Your father and the old prince are friends regardless of age. When the old prince left the capital, your father also sponsored him. The old prince borrowed money from your father. ] The
more Lin Mo listened, the more he admired this old prince: [Yohoo! This prince is too good, not only did he cheat the emperor of his money, he also borrowed money from my father. How many people in the capital did he borrow money from! ã
Bai Xiao also admired this prince: [A lot, of course not a lot, he borrowed money from all the families who were related to the royal family. Why do you think he hasn't come back for decades? Although the amount of money he borrowed from each household is not much, it adds up to a large sum, so he made all those people he owed money die. Your father is also lucky to be young. ã
[And your father kept the fact that he lent money to the old prince a secret from your mother. Until now, your mother doesn't know. ã
Lin Mo: ... There are actually such shameless people in the world! Jian Shou is too good!
Minister Lin was embarrassed by what he said. He was young and had just entered the official career. Suddenly, a royal relative asked him to borrow money. He really didn't think too much at that time.
After all, who could have thought that a royal relative would run away after borrowing money? But the amount borrowed was not much, just his monthly expenses. He didn't dare to tell his wife about it that month.
This time he went there mainly for this matter. Although decades have passed, he still can't forget this matter.
No matter how much silver it is, it is still money, not to mention that there is such a money-eating beast at home now, who eats, drinks and has fun every day and does nothing serious. If he can get the money back, it can provide this little bastard with expenses for several months.
Lin Mo wanted to see the old prince even more now, after all, such a genius was rare in the world.
"Dad, I'm going to go! Anyway, I'm going to go no matter what! If you don't let me go, I'll go and complain to mom, I'll say you're having a tryst with someone else!"
Lin Mo's words hit his father's heart directly. What kind of leaky little cotton-padded jacket is this!
Lin Mo also grasped this point. Anyway, his father would definitely not dare to let his mother know about the loan.
Bai Xiao: [You are really amazing, this time your father will definitely let us go. ã
Minister Lin was so angry that he slapped them on the head, "Okay, okay, I'll let you go. You have to get involved in everything. I'm going to ask an old prince to pay me back today. Your mother can't know about this."
He didn't even think about how he spent that month when he was young. He didn't even have money to invite friends out for dinner. The family's income was managed by his wife, who had already given him all the money he needed for the month. Who knew it would be borrowed like this?
"Oh Yeah! Dad, you're so great! It's just to ask others to pay back the money. The debt collection is left to us two!"
He was going out alone, but he brought two burdens with him. Minister Lin's tall figure felt a lot lighter.
The more he takes these two people with him, the more he feels that the money will not be returned.
When they arrived at the agreed place, Old Prince was already waiting.
Although Old Prince is older now, he can still vaguely see the charm of his youth.
When he saw Minister Lin, Old Prince's eyes lit up, "Ah, Ah Huan is still as charming as ever after all these years. What elixir of immortality did you take? You can't hide it."
After saying that, he saw Lin Mo again, "Hey! How come there is a smaller version of you here? It looks exactly like you. I heard that you have three children. Could all three children have the same face as you? Then you don't have to worry about it."
Minister Lin: ... After all these years, this Prince's personality really hasn't changed at all.
Bai Xiao cleared his throat to show that he was there too. Old Wang must have a problem with his eyes. Didn't he see a man this big?
Old Wang also saw Bai Xiao and immediately praised him: "Judging from his age, this shouldn't be your eldest son. Then it can't be your son-in-law. Your family's vision in selecting people is still good. Your son-in-law is good-looking."
Bai Xiao raised his mouth proudly. Of course, there are few people in the whole capital who can compare with him.
Lin Mo rolled her eyes slightly. How good-looking can he be? She is the one who likes him the most.
"I have met the prince. When did the prince return to the capital?" How dare you come back!
Minister Lin really couldn't understand how this man came back in a hurry. Although more than half of the creditors have died, there are still some alive. The biggest creditor is still sitting on the top. Are you really not afraid of being asked to pay?
The old prince smiled happily and said with a nonchalant look: "I missed home after wandering outside for a long time, so I came back."
After that, he asked the servants to bring a big bag of unknown things. "This is the money I borrowed from you decades ago. I will return it to you with interest."
Looking at this big bag of silver, Lin Mo's eyes lit up at once. So much!
No wonder my father didn't dare to tell my mother.
Bai Xiao reminded in his heart: [This is the principal and interest. Your father didn't lend out so much originally. Minister
Lin did not expect that Old Master Wang would be so straightforward. He thought it would be good enough to return the principal, but he did not expect that he would return the principal with interest.
"Thank you very much, Old Master Wang. I wonder how Old Master Wang will deal with other people's loans." After all, he borrowed money from so many people.
The old prince said with a smile: "I have already asked someone to pay back the money. I have been doing some small business outside these years and made a little money. I don't have any descendants, so I plan to come back to take care of myself. My nephew is not bad."
"When I left, I borrowed money from my brother and my nephews. Now this one gives the money back. He is the poorest one, but he is also the one who gives the money most generously. I feel sorry for him."
After saying this, the old prince sighed.
Seeing him like this, Lin Mo complained in his heart: "Then you took their money and left. You knew they were poor but still took their money. I don't know how the emperor has survived these decades." Bai Xiao
: That's right. The previous emperor died within two months after he left. Then the emperor ascended the throne and kept investing. He was poor to begin with, and a large sum of money was borrowed from him before he ascended the throne. The key point was that no one believed him when he said he was poor. After all, no matter how poor he was before, he couldn't be poor after he became emperor.
Before Lin Mo arrived, no one believed that the emperor was crying his heart out.

Chapter 265: Burying the Silver Under the Tree
The old prince also sat beside him, smiling and listening with great interest, as if he were an outsider.
It seemed as if he had not borrowed the emperor's money. Minister Lin could not help but sigh that the old prince was extremely shameless.
If he had cheated the emperor of such a large sum of money and ran away, he would not dare to reveal any news, let alone come back.
Fortunately, the emperor was kind and valued this uncle. Otherwise, with a wanted order, how could the old prince be so carefree outside for so long?
Lin Mo looked at the old prince with more and more admiration. It was true that a lowly person is invincible. The old prince was indeed a role model!
But Lin Mo was still very curious, "Prince, how much silver did you borrow at the beginning?" Then you didn't dare to come back for decades, how much money did you borrow?
The old prince laughed and said proudly, "Not much, not much, all added up to hundreds of thousands of taels."
Hundreds of thousands of taels! So much! You are living on gold outside, so much money!
Bai Xiao added: "He borrowed 200,000 from the emperor alone, and the emperor was penniless all of a sudden. The emperor saved money for so long with great effort, but was cheated by his uncle in an instant. ã
ãThen all the high officials and nobles in the capital city who he knew quit borrowing money from him, and he also borrowed money from some wealthy businessmen who wanted to establish a relationship with him. This is a lot of money. ã
The Lin family father and daughter raised a thumb in admiration. This person is really not an ordinary person!
It is really his ability to borrow so much money.
Old Wang felt a little embarrassed by their looks. He explained modestly, "I didn't expect to stay away for so long. I just wanted to travel around for a few years, but it's so much fun out there. The scenery there is incomparable to this small place in Beijing."
"I've been traveling around and doing business for these years. I invested all the money in my business. I lost some at the beginning, but I slowly made some money later."
"I am old now, and it is not good for me to go out and wander around, so I thought of coming back. Anyway, I don't have any descendants. I plan to donate all the money I made before to the national treasury except for my family's own expenses, which can be regarded as compensation to my nephew."
He didn't expect his nephew to be so poor at that time. Who could have thought that a prince would be so poor? He thought that his nephew was hiding his talents and deliberately pretending to be frugal to others.
In fact, the main purpose of coming back this time is to retire, but mainly to see the legendary Lord Kobayashi.
Today, I saw that he is indeed extraordinary, with an interesting personality and appearance. Lin Huan gave birth to a good daughter!
Just now he thought he had seen Lin Huan's appearance when he was young. The father and daughter were really cut from the same cloth.
It's just that Master Lin is a little shorter, while Lin Huan was already very tall when he was young.
At first, he admired such a handsome boy very much. After all, who wouldn't appreciate beautiful things?
The old man of the Lin family also had a good appearance, so his son was naturally good-looking, and he was even better than his father. The daughter born to this son was also good-looking. I don't know how Lin Huan's other two children looked like.
I heard that the eldest son looked very much like his mother, and he was the first to be appointed as the third place in the imperial examination. He is also the number one son in the capital today.
The previous number one son in the capital was still Lin Huan. This family is really rich.
"Oh, it's getting late. I should go back. My man is quite attached to me. If I don't go back, he might make trouble again."
When Old Wang talked about the man at home, he couldn't stop smiling.
Lin Mo asked Bai Xiao curiously: [What does the person that Old Wang likes look like? Why does Old Wang like him so much?]
Bai Xiao: [You can tell with your toes that he is very good-looking, but not the best-looking. They are together because their values ââand personalities match. Appearance is only one aspect. If it comes to appearance, then Old Wang would have liked your father a long time ago.]
Old Wang: ...
Minister Lin: ...
You two are really good at talking. Are you praising me or insulting me?
Holding this big bag of silver, Lin Mo kept his mouth shut on the way home.
Although this thing is heavy, its heaviness is really reassuring.
Minister Lin wanted to help her carry it, but she refused.
"I can carry it myself. How can I let you do it? I'm too unfilial. I still have enough strength."
Lin Mo held the silver in her arms and spoke righteously, as if no one believed her. Minister
Lin sneered and said, "You can hold it if you want. I don't know where you put the silver. If your mother finds out, you will definitely be beaten."
Lin Mo retorted, "Dad, you don't have anywhere else to put it. If your hidden money is discovered by your conscience, you will end up worse than me." The father
and daughter confronted each other, and neither of them was willing to take a step back.
Bai Xiao beside him sighed silently. What are they fighting for? It would be better to leave it here.
His uninhabited yard is the safest. Everyone thinks he lives there, so ordinary people won't go in.
(Everyone: Haha, as long as you are happy.)
After returning home, the father and daughter covered each other and buried the silver under a tree.
Lin Mo also told her father: "Dad, you must remember that it is this tree. It is agreed that this money is for me to use. Dad, you can't dig the money out secretly."
Minister Lin: ... You act like someone is precious. I want to keep the money because I am afraid that you will spend it all at once.
Can't you put it somewhere else? Do you have to bury it underground? There are so many places to hide.
In the middle of the night, Lin Mo lay in bed and felt uneasy.
The tree is outside and the silver is at the root of the tree. This is too unsafe.
What if some maids or servants dig out the silver? That would be a huge loss.
"No, I have to dig the silver out. This is too unsafe."
Bai Xiao lay on her pillow and said speechlessly: "What's unsafe? Is it not safe for me to monitor you? I will tell you if there is any problem. Go to sleep quickly."
Lin Moshou slapped him in the face, "What if you didn't monitor us? That would be too dangerous. That's not a small amount of money. It's several months' expenses for both of us."
Bai Xiao: ...Are you going to press me to death with your palm?

Chapter 266 Sickness
In the end, Bai Xiao couldn't persuade Lin Mo, and the two of them got up in the middle of the night to dig for silver.
It was quite cold tonight, so the two of them went out in thin clothes.
The night watch maid was really anxious and wanted to add clothes to the ancestors, but if she went out, she would be exposed, so she could only watch the two ancestors dig in thin clothes.
After digging out the silver, Lin Mo was relieved. She dragged out the box under her bed and put the silver in it.
"That's reassuring. It's still safest to put it under the bed."
Bai Xiao was almost dying of sleepiness. "You can sleep now, right? I'm so sleepy! You look so energetic."
Going out to enjoy the cool breeze in the middle of the night finally paid off. Lin Mo started to have a fever in the morning. Bai Xiao was woken up by the burn while lying on her forehead.
"Mo Mo! Mo Mo, wake up!"
Lin Mo's cheeks were flushed with fever as he opened his mouth. Bai Xiao was frightened by his appearance. He immediately rolled and crawled to his own yard, and then rushed in through the main gate.
The maid outside was startled by him. When did this ancestor go to the next yard?
"Mo Mo! Mo Mo, wake up!"
Bai Xiao was completely frightened. He touched Lin Mo's face and immediately asked someone to call Minister Lin and the others.
"Dad~, I want to be hugged~", Lin Mo opened his eyes in a daze, and called for his parents in a crying voice.
Minister Lin and his men were just preparing to go to court, but they heard someone coming to report. Minister Lin was so shocked that he almost rushed out without even putting on his boots.
"Why is she having a fever? Didn't she cover herself with a blanket last night!"
Mrs. Lin didn't have time to dress up, she just put on some clothes and hurried out.
Lin Qi and Lin Ran also hurried over.
"Qi'er, you hurry up to court, and then ask for leave from the emperor for us. Your sister has caught a cold and has a fever. It's best to ask a doctor to come back!"
Lin Qi nodded solemnly, and glanced at Lin Mo's yard worriedly.
"Wuwuwu~, Dad, I have a headache", Lin Mo cried while lying on the bed, her eyes half closed and her face flushed.
Minister Lin sat beside her bed and patted her gently, comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, the doctor will be here soon."
Mrs. Lin wiped Lin Mo's face with a handkerchief, and her tears never stopped since she came in.
"It's been a long time since I was sick, why did I suddenly get sick today, and this illness is so severe."
Bai Xiao stood by and shrank his neck, full of self-blame, if only he had stopped Lin Mo last night.
Lin Mo sobbed softly while sleeping, probably because she was really uncomfortable.
"Dad~, I want to be carried, Mom~, I want to listen to stories", Lin Mo was completely delirious.
Minister Lin carried her on his back and turned around in the room, and Mrs. Lin told stories in a low voice.
Lin Ran had already watched people boil the medicine, and these assignments were like this from childhood to adulthood.
Whenever Lin Mo was sick, he would be coaxed by his parents and taken care of by his brothers and sisters.
At this moment, when the emperor knew that Lin Mo was sick, he almost couldn't help but rush down from the dragon chair.
"How could she be sick! How could the little girl be sick when she is in such good health!"
"Whether the illness is serious or not, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and let the imperial physicians go over! Let a few more imperial physicians go over!"
This is the real pillar of the country. If this pillar is sick, it will be a big deal!
This morning, the emperor and the ministers were absent-minded, fearing that something would happen to this little ancestor.
Some people still thought about going to see him after the court session and sending some tonic medicines over. This serious illness requires nourishment of the body.
Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Lin were all sent over. When they arrived at the Lin residence and saw Minister Lin carrying Lin Mo on his back and coaxing him, they also sighed.
It's really pitiful how pitiful the parents in the world are.
After a careful examination, Doctor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing serious. Lord Xiaolin just caught a cold last night. Lord Xiaolin hasn't been sick for a long time, so his health is not good. This is why it's more serious now."
"The temperature will go down after taking a few doses of medicine later, but you still have to be a little careful during this period. Now is the time of season change, and the temperature at night is much lower than that during the day. Lord Xiaolin may be much weaker after this illness. He needs careful care, otherwise it is easy to leave the root of the disease."
Fever is a big deal and a small deal. Every year, many people die from fever caused by colds. Everyone's physical constitution is different, and there is nothing we can do about it.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly thanked Doctor Zhao.
It was already evening when Lin Mo woke up. Bai Xiao stayed by her bed. Minister Lin and Madam Lin were also planning to stay by her bed, but Minister Lin had other official business to attend to, so they couldn't stay there. Madam
Lin was so shocked and sad that her body couldn't bear it, so she was advised to rest. However, she rested on the soft couch beside her, and she didn't dare to go far.
"Xiaobai, I'm hungry," Lin Mo's voice startled Bai Xiao.
"My little ancestor, you finally woke up. Did you know that you were sick today? You scared me to death in the morning."
Bai Xiao was really scared. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Lin Mo laughed and touched his forehead, "Oh, everyone gets sick, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Mrs. Lin heard the noise and came over, "You still need to eat, tell me what you did last night, you made your body like this, do you know that this will make us very worried!"
This little bastard is really too irritating, this day is really too scary.
Lin Mo rolled his eyes and didn't dare to look at his mother.
But her inner voice betrayed her, "I didn't expect that I would get sick just because I went out to dig for silver last night. It didn't feel that cold last night, just a little wind. If I had known, I wouldn't have buried the silver under the tree. Mrs.
Lin: ...
She was really about to laugh out loud. You can't imagine burying the silver under a tree!
Forget it, forget it. Since this girl is sick, I won't bother with her.
Lin Ran took the porridge and poked his sister's forehead in annoyance, "Your body is either not sick or seriously ill, and every time you get sick it's very dangerous. You are such a big person, can't you pay a little attention to your body?"
Lin Mo was scolded and didn't dare to say a word. She could only drink the porridge in small sips.
She didn't expect that she would get sick. She couldn't even remember when she was sick last time.
Ji Qianhua didn't know when it was, "Little Fatty, why don't you practice martial arts with me every day? It's just right to exercise your body."

Chapter 267 The price of Bai Xiao's transformation into an adult
As soon as she heard the three words "little fat boy", Lin Mo immediately exploded. If she hadn't been unable to get up from the bed, she would have to teach this person a lesson.
"Who are you talking about, little fat boy? You are the little fat boy. I am not fat at all now, okay?"
It was just that she was a little fat for a while when
she was a child, so this person always called her "little fat boy". Lin Ran hit Ji Qianhua in annoyance, "She is still sick now, why are you teasing her?"
Ji Qianhua touched his nose and closed his mouth. He was really seriously suggesting that if this girl was in better health, she might not have caught a cold.
Bai Xiao whispered in his heart: [I don't think your problem is physical at all. No matter how much exercise you do every day, it's enough for your body. It's probably because you haven't been sick for a long time, so this time it broke out.]
[You should go out less at night in the future, at least take care of your body before going out.]
This time really scared him. He never thought that Lin Mo would get sick. This person looks lively and has no worries every day. How could she get sick?
But the facts prove that no matter how lively she is, she is still a human being. As long as she is a human being, she will get sick.
Lin Mo was helpless lying on the bed: [I really didn't expect that I would have a fever after a little wind, Xiaobai, how come you are fine, is your body better than mine? It shouldn't be. ã
Bai Xiao: [You forgot what I became. Although I have become a human now, my body is not comparable to yours. Anyway, let's put it this way, I won't get sick but my life is tied to you. If you die, I will probably die too. ã
A system bound to a host will naturally coexist with the host. It is still just a new system.
Everyone else listened to their conversation quietly. In this case, Bai Xiao can only be with his girl for the rest of his life.
Although they have already tacitly accepted that these two people are together, who knows if there will be any accidents.
After all, some people get engaged and married, but eventually break up.
Lin Mo was really curious about what he said, "I remember that you seemed to just bind me. After I die, you can find another host. Aren't your systems recyclable? When the previous host dies, you can find another one."
The novels she read seemed to be like this. The system can only accompany the host for a part of the journey. When the mission is completed or this life is over, the system will find another host.
Generally, it is unknown how many speeds the system will experience. They seem to be immortal and travel through various worlds.
Bai Xiao was silent for a while and said: "I am different from other systems now. Other systems have no entities. I am different from them. ã
When he chose to become a human, he had two options. If he became a human, he would be directly bound to Lin Mo. If she lived, he lived. If she died, he died. He was not an immortal system.
Let's put it this way. He is now a person with special abilities.
If he does not become a human, he will always be a system. After the host dies or the mission is completed, he will look for the next host like other systems.
Day after day, year after year, this kind of life is repeated every day.
He didn't want to, so he chose to become a human.
Many people may think he is stupid, but he is not stupid at all. Lin Mo is his first host, which is different.
When he became a human, the main system also sent a warning, saying that he was the first system to do such a thing, and the first system that was so stupid.
Isn't it good to be an immortal system that travels through various spaces? Why does it have to become a human? Many systems will indeed share the joys and sorrows of their hosts at the beginning, especially those that have only experienced one or two hosts.
But after a long time, they will become numb, and after becoming numb, they will just complete their mission.
Anyway, Bai Xiao has no regrets now. He feels something different. He can go out and play, bask in the sun, eat, and play with his family. This is enough.
This is something that other systems can't do!
Bai Xiao didn't say these words to Lin Mo. It was enough for him to know it alone.
Lin Mo stayed at home for half a month when he was sick this time. He just thought he was getting better, but he started to have a fever again.
Anyway, it was a repetitive state. Minister Lin would go to court when Lin Mo was in better condition, and would take leave at home when the condition was worse.
The emperor had already told him to stay at home with Lin Mo as long as possible. If something really happened to this little ancestor, it would be a disaster.
"Why did this person get sick? The little girl was in such good health, but she got sick, and she was so sick." The emperor walked around in the study, worried.
He had sent a lot of good medicines, and the imperial physician also went to see her every day. Every day, he said that she needed to be well taken care of.
It has been half a month, why is she still not getting better? It is really worrying.
Eunuch Li looked at the emperor's anxious expression and comforted him, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Lady Xiao Lin is being taken care of by her family. She is in good health, so nothing will happen to her."
"Maybe she will come to court in a few days. Illness comes and goes like a mountain. She may be in better health now, but she may not have the energy."
Eunuch Li was right. Lin Mo's health was indeed much better. As for whether he had the energy, only he knew.
"It's better to lie in bed. I can stay away from court for half a month because of illness. It's great to not go to court except for the feeling of not feeling well!"
Lin Mo lay on the bed with his legs crossed, almost humming a little tune.
She felt like she was back to the days when she didn't work. She almost forgot about the days when she didn't work. She just knew that she was happy every day without any worries and didn't need to get up early.
Bai Xiao also lay on the bed and peeled melon seeds. "I say you can't just stay sick. There are still many people who are worried about you. Now people come to see you every day but they are all blocked by your parents. If you continue to be sick, they may think too much."
There are really many people who care about Lin Mo, and good things are sent here in batches. The Lin couple looked at the medicinal materials and didn't know what to say.
Ginseng, deer antlers, all kinds of good things for replenishing qi and blood, and they are all of some age.
If you eat all of this, you will definitely bleed. The couple discussed and asked the imperial physician to take all these things away.
Anyway, not many people will need it, so it's better to give it to the Imperial Hospital, just in case someone can use it.

Chapter 268 Sick and Fat
"It's great to not have to attend court this way! I hope I can play forever!"
Minister Lin and his wife were just about to come and see this troublesome girl, but they heard this cheerful voice as soon as they entered the yard.
Mrs. Lin couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at your daughter. She got sick and made us worry to death, but she herself is very happy. She looks so energetic, she doesn't look like a patient at all."
Minister Lin rubbed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly, "This girl is in good health now, she should not have a fever anymore."
He was so tired of her. He was worried to death every day, but this little bastard was immersed in the happiness of not having to attend court.
"Don't worry, the doctor said there's nothing wrong with her, and she doesn't have any sequelae. I have someone watching her every day. Xiaobai is also a sensible person. She hasn't been allowed to leave the room during this period."
"She will be almost fully recovered in two days, so let her be happy for two more days."
As soon as the couple opened the door, they saw Lin Mo lying on the bed with his legs curled up and looking at a sketchbook. That posture was really comfortable.
Bai Xiao was lying on the edge of the bed peeling melon seeds, and after peeling them, he had to deliver them to this ancestor.
The Lin family couple: ...
Why does Xiaobai look so much like a little eunuch? It's so natural for him to peel melon seeds for this little ancestor.
"Ahem," Minister Lin coughed, "I've told you so many times not to eat in bed, and your throat is hoarse now, don't eat melon seeds or dried fruits, don't you really want your throat?"
After saying that, Minister Lin took the plate of melon seeds and placed it in front of Madam Lin.
Lin Mo: ...
Bai Xiao: ...
Madam Lin smiled and picked up a seed and put it in her mouth, "Your father is right, you can eat whatever you want when you are well, but it's better to eat something lighter now."
"You are almost well now, and many people have been worried about you during this period. Even the emperor has sent people here. When you go to court in two days, you must thank all the adults and the emperor."
Go to court in two days! Lin Mo almost jumped up from the bed when he heard this.
"Mom! How can I go to court when I'm not well yet? What if I infect other adults? Let me rest for a while. I'll go after I'm well again."
Just kidding, she wanted to continue living such a good life and didn't want to go to court.
Although she couldn't go out now, she could read novels and play with Xiaobai in her room, which was also good.
Minister Lin sneered and patted her forehead, "What are you thinking about? You are dreaming again. We know your physical condition better than you do. It will be almost healed in two days. You are a court official after all. Do you feel embarrassed to stay at home and get paid every day?"
Lin Mo: "I feel embarrassed, why should I feel embarrassed?" [It's useless for me to go to court. I will just stand there to make up the number of people. I will eat melons and doze off every day. It's not very beautiful to have one more dozing person in a row of neat people. I am getting paid for nothing. What does it matter whether I go or not?]
Bai Xiao unconditionally agreed with Lin Mo: [That's right, I don't have to work and I have to punch in every day. It's really too troublesome!]
The two looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.
Minister Lin was speechless when he saw the two of them. You two may have the same brain.
"No, you have to go to court when you are well. You should have a good rest in these two days. You will be back to your old self after these two days."
This matter was not discussed at all. Even if Lin Mo was throwing a tantrum, she would not be discussed.
After all, she had already thrown a tantrum when she was first asked to be an official.
In the afternoon, Hua Kongque and Ben Meiren came to see Lin Mo, and were dragged by Lin Mo to complain for the whole afternoon.
Qin Zheng: "That's right, how can Lord Xiao Lin go to court when he is not in good health? What if he gets sick again?"
Wei Zhengan: "Well, take care of your own body. You can just pretend to be sick when the time comes."
These two people gave Lin Mo bad ideas, and Bai Xiao couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's no use pretending to be sick, the imperial physician will know it once he comes." The most important thing is that Lin Mo's acting skills were not good at all when she pretended to be sick.
She said her stomach hurt, but when she touched her stomach and asked her where it hurt, she couldn't tell. Her eyes were still moving around, afraid that others didn't know that she was smart since she was a child.
With such acting skills, she asked her to pretend to be sick. Isn't that asking for a beating?
Lin Qi was standing at the door listening to their conversation and almost laughed to death.
Xizi just couldn't figure out what was going on. What kind of methods were they talking about? They were all bad ideas.
It turns out that those who can play together are all of the same talent.
Two days later, no matter how much Lin Mo objected, he was still packed up to go to court.
When Lin Qi carried her away, he also took a coat for her and wrapped it around her.
Lin Mo touched his brother's head and said, "Brother, do I need to praise you for being considerate at this time?"
Lin Qi took off the claws on his head and said expressionlessly, "No need to praise, just be quiet and don't mess up my hair."
Lin Mo snorted unconvinced and closed his mouth, then put his hands on his brother's head.
Lin Qi: ...The more you are told not to do something, the more you do it, right?
"Oh, Lord Xiaolin, how come you have lost so much weight? You must take good care of your body after you get sick. You can't think that your body is not important just because you are young."
"Yes, when you are old, all these sequelae will come out."
"Look at how thin Lord Xiaolin is. It must be very uncomfortable when you are sick. Alas, young people should also pay attention to their bodies."
Listening to the caring words of the adults, Lin Mo bowed and walked forward with a stiff smile.
To be honest, she didn't recognize all these adults yet. She only knew a few of the more senior officials.
But since they all cared about her, she had to be polite.
Bai Xiao: [Someone actually thought you lost weight. You did lose weight in the first two days of your illness, but you gained it back later! You are now two pounds fatter! ã
Lin Mo: [Shut up! No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak! ã
What's wrong with gaining two pounds? People's weight fluctuates within a day. When she is hungry, the two pounds will go back.
Minister Lin almost couldn't help laughing. This girl has been eating and drinking in bed every day. It would be strange if she didn't gain weight.
But two pounds is really nothing. She lost weight too fast during those two days of illness. It's heartbreaking to see her.
It's good to be a little fat. It makes you look blessed.

Chapter 269 The Relationship between the Emperor and the Old Prince
With Lin Mo, the atmosphere in the court is different.
The atmosphere in the past few days was a bit heavy, and they felt it was too quiet.
Although this little ancestor sometimes just dozed off here, she seemed very lively even if she was just standing here.
Lin Mo's eyes rolled around, and he asked Xiao Bai in his heart: [Did you have any interesting gossip during the time I was sick? Tell me one and let me hear it.]
Bai Xiao: [Okay, then what gossip do you want to hear? There are only so many gossips in the capital. Several things have indeed happened recently.]
Hearing Bai Xiao's words, some people who had something happen at home recently suddenly became bolder.
Lin Mo: [Let's talk about the old prince. Didn't he come back to pay back the money? He owed people so much money, and the emperor didn't care at all. ]
The emperor sitting on the throne twitched his mouth when he heard this. How could he not care? He didn't know how he had survived these decades.
He was just a prince! A prince who was not favored and had just married a wife.
Who knew that this uncle was so shameless and actually set his sights on him? It was not easy for him to save such a little money. He did everything he could to make money, and finally saved such a little money.
When the uncle borrowed money from him, he really didn't think so much. Who knew that this man would never pay it back.
The most unexpected thing is that not long after the emperor's uncle left the capital, the previous emperor died. He inexplicably ascended the throne, and the money in his pocket was plundered, but he still ascended the throne.
After becoming the emperor, he still thought that there must be money in the treasury and he should not worry. As a result, the previous emperor left him an empty shell.
He had to use his own money to subsidize the treasury. He had just been cheated of more than half of the money, and now he had to continue to use money to subsidize the treasury. To be honest, if he hadn't had a better mentality at the time, he really wanted to hang himself at the door of the treasury with his pants belt.
No one can be as good as him as an emperor!
Bai Xiao began to talk about the old prince: [You don't know how funny this old prince is. When he went to deliver money to some families, he was beaten out. When he came back, the emperor thought he had seen the wrong person.]
Lin Mo: [Is his return so shocking?]
Bai Xiao: [That's right. Many people thought he died outside. After all, so many years have passed. Who knew that this man was not only alive, but also made so much money by doing business outside. When the emperor knew that he made so much money, he discussed with the prince and others to rob his treasury.]
The emperor and the prince: ...
what you said, can you give us some face?
Lin Mo laughed in his heart, [I think the emperor and the prince are very honest. The emperor has a very good temper. If I was cheated of so much money by someone and they came back decades later, I would be the first to leave without saying anything.]
Emperor: You think I don't want to, but he is my uncle after all!
The emperor was not favored when he was a child. The old prince took care of him for a long time when he was a child, gave him money and food, and often mentioned his existence in front of the late emperor, asking the late emperor not to forget his son. It can be said that in his heart, it is not the late emperor but the old prince who plays the role of father.
If the old prince hadn't mentioned him in front of the late emperor, he would have been forgotten by the late emperor. A forgotten prince would not be known even if he died.
So when such a respected elder asked him to borrow money, he really didn't think too much and revealed all his secrets.
Bai Xiao: [It's impossible to kick him. The old prince has a different status in the emperor's heart. When the emperor was young and couldn't take care of himself, the old prince helped him secretly. ]
[Let's put it this way, although the old prince is not very reasonable, he has a good heart. The previous emperor had many sons, and many of them were not favored. The old prince took care of those children to the best of his ability. The current emperor and Prince Xin can be said to have been raised by the old prince. ]
[Because he is an elder whom he respects in his heart, the emperor was also borrowed so much money from the old prince. ]
The ministers didn't know what to say when they heard this.
It can only be said that the old prince is really out of tune. The late emperor was actually quite indulgent towards this younger brother. The late emperor was ruthless and never showed mercy to his brothers.
But he didn't say that he valued the old prince very much, but he certainly didn't hurt him. Maybe it was because the old prince was always seen as a playboy who liked men and didn't care about politics.
However, Lin Mo was a little curious after listening to Bai Xiao's words: [Xiaobai, since you said that the emperor and Prince Xin were both raised by the old prince, why didn't the old prince borrow money from Prince Xin? ]
At this moment, Prince Xin, who was standing not far away, sighed in his heart.
You have to have money to borrow. Although my brother is not favored, he has been making money all the time. He has saved so much money by himself. He does not have the ability to make money nor the brains.
Bai Xiao could not help but smiled and replied: [If the old prince wants to borrow money, he must have money from Prince Xin. When Prince Xin was a prince, he was even less favored than the emperor and had even less money than the emperor.] [
The old prince, don't even think about borrowing money. If he goes to see Prince Xin, he will probably have to pay for it himself. How can he borrow money?]
Prince Xin:...Why do you say that? He is not that poor.
Lin Mo looked at Prince Xin, who was standing not far away with a warm temperament. He is an honest man, indeed an honest man!
The emperor sitting on the throne couldn't help but look at his younger brother. He thought he was the poorest prince, but his younger brother was even poorer. He suddenly felt a little comforted.
Bai Xiao continued: "You don't know how poor Prince Xin was. He had no interest in the throne. He just thought about how to make his life better every day. Whenever he had no money, he would go to the old prince. This man couldn't say a good word. He just looked at the old prince pitifully until the old prince gave him money.
The emperor patted his thigh. Why didn't he think of this?
He should have gone to the emperor's uncle a few more times. He was too concerned about his face. He was young at the time!
Everyone looked at Prince Xin with mixed feelings. They didn't expect that you, an honest young man, were actually like this. You are quite thick-skinned.
Prince Xin was embarrassed. There was nothing he could do. He was poor. He
also had to support his wife. Although he hadn't married yet, he and his wife loved each other. He had to have some money to buy gifts for her.

Chapter 270 Prince Xin in his youth
Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh that Prince Xin was really thick-skinned.
[I didn't expect that the seemingly honest Prince Xin was actually quite thick-skinned when he was young.]
Lin Mo always thought that Prince Xin was a thin-skinned person, because he looked like an honest person, but she didn't expect that she actually misjudged him.
Bai Xiao: [He has to be thick-skinned, otherwise he wouldn't be able to marry a wife.]
Everyone: Oh! It feels like another melon!
Prince Xin: ...Aren't you talking about the emperor's affairs? How come you're talking about me?
Lin Mo asked curiously: "Then tell me the story of him and the princess. I think Princess Xin is a good person. She is smart, good at making money, and good-looking. She has a generous temper. How did she marry Prince Xin?"
The emperor was also very curious about his younger brother and his sister-in-law.
When his younger brother got married, he had already become the emperor. It was his younger brother who came to him and asked for an order to get married.
Bai Xiao began to explain Lin Mo's doubts: "When you royal family members here look for wives, the main feature is shamelessness. Maybe this is genetic."
Although Prince Xin has no money, he is thick-skinned and can be humble. ã
ãThe status of the Princess Xin's family was not very high, and she was not very favored. She met the Prince Xin on the street. The two unfavored people got together and ate a bowl of wontons at the same stall. Later, they fell in love with each other at first sight. ã
ãOn the first day they met, he took the girl to buy a hairpin. The problem was that he had no money. All the money for buying jewelry was charged to the old prince's account, and the old prince's backyard was almost on fire. ã
Everyone: Awesome! Using other people's money to chase a wife, what a good method!
The emperor's thighs are almost red from slapping himself, why didn't he think of it! Why didn't he think of cheating him a little more money when the emperor's uncle was still there!
He spent his own money to marry his wife!
Lin Mo didn't know what to say. The honest man turned out
to be dishonest. Bai Xiao: [Not only that, Prince Xin just threw everything at it. He didn't care about his shamelessness. If he didn't work hard, he didn't know when he would be able to marry. So he went to see Princess Xin every day. If he didn't have money to treat others to a meal, he would take others to various banquets to eat for free. ]
[Anyway, no matter how unpopular he was, he was still a prince. It was okay for him to eat at other people's banquets. ]
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Prince Xin touched his nose and smiled dryly at the people next to him. Wasn't he poor at that time?
Lin Mo really admired Prince Xin this time. [Prince Xin is really worth learning from. I think I am too proud! I will also go to eat at the banquet in the future! ã
These families in the capital city hold banquets from time to time. Lin Mo sometimes wants to go there to eat and drink for free, but he is too embarrassed to go because he doesn't know them.
Although she is carefree, she still has to have some dignity. After all, she is now an official.
The most important thing is that she doesn't know that others can hear her voice. She still wants to maintain her image.
Bai Xiao was silent for two seconds and said: [...I don't think we need to learn from him. We are not without money. People go there to eat and drink for free because they have no money. If we go, we still have to give a gift. After all, they know that our family is not short of money. ã
Lin Mo thought about it and it seemed to be true. It was okay for her to be shameless
, but her parents and brothers and sisters had dignity. If they went to other people's place to eat and drink for free, they would probably be beaten up when they got home. Prince Xin was the one who fed the whole family. Although he was a prince, he was not favored, so naturally he didn't care whether he would embarrass the late emperor and his brothers.
Lin Mo: [Go on, go on, I want to know more about Prince Xin. I didn't expect that such an honest person could be so fun when he was young. ã
Everyone nodded in agreement in their hearts. If Bai Xiao hadn't said it, they really didn't know that Prince Xin was like this when he was young.
Bai Xiao: [Actually, it's nothing. Prince Xin shamelessly took Princess Xin to various banquets. The two of them are like family. The couple are both very shameless. If it were a lady from an ordinary family, she would have been embarrassed long ago, but Princess Xin is different. She is like a fish in water. ]
[The two of them started to fall in love by eating and drinking for free, and later they discussed marriage. After the emperor ascended the throne, Prince Xin asked for an imperial decree from the emperor, and the marriage was granted. ] Prince Xin
still had a smile on his face when he heard this. Although what happened back then was quite shameless, it was still beautiful when he thought about it now.
His relationship with the princess was stronger than gold. Even when he was oppressed later, the princess stood by his side and supported him silently. She did not despise him when he could not stand up.
Anyway, he has good vision and chose such a good princess!
Everyone had a lot of gossip this morning, and Prince Xin's impression of everyone was suddenly turned upside down.
Everyone originally thought that Prince Xin was an honest man who had been bullied for many years, but facts have proved that honest people also have their own little thoughts.
Prince Xin probably used all his remaining brains to pursue his wife.
After leaving the court, the emperor kept his younger brother, with an extremely complicated expression.
"Old Eleven, I am really sorry for you. I haven't noticed you for so many years."
To be honest, compared with his younger brother, he is living a good life.
Prince Xin smiled gently and said, "What's right or wrong about living here? We have lived like this for so many years, and my brother had a hard time back then, so I think things are pretty good now." No matter
how hard life was, we have come through it. With this period of training and this period of life as a comparison, the future will be good.
"My brother, don't blame yourself. I didn't have such a bad life back then. Just like Bai Xiao said, I am thick-skinned and can get by anywhere." It
's not like he didn't hear others mock him in the past, saying that he was a garbage picker who went to other people's banquets empty-handed every day.
Some people would deliberately make fun of him, but he never took these things to heart. It
's enough to live a good life, no matter what others think.
Although Prince Xin seemed to be indifferent, the emperor still felt guilty, so he took Prince Xin with him to steal the chickens raised by the concubines in the harem.
An emperor and a prince approached the chicken coop stealthily, and no one would have thought that they were there to steal chickens.

Chapter 271 Never Did Anything Sneaky
Prince Xin followed the emperor tremblingly. He never thought that his brother would bring him to steal chickens!
"Brother, why don't we go? I always have a bad feeling."
The emperor and the prince actually stole chickens. If they were caught, it would be really funny.
Looking at his frightened brother, the emperor sighed and said, "I said why are you so timid? You are also known as the God of War. In my Dayong, you and the King of Zhennan are equal in number. How can you be so timid to steal a chicken? It really disgraces your reputation as the God of War."
Prince Xin: ...You call me the God of War because I always win in battles, not because I am good at stealing chickens.
The main thing is, have you ever seen a god of war stealing chickens raised by his sisters-in-law? If you tell anyone about this, it will really make people laugh to death.
No matter how much Prince Xin persuaded or protested, the emperor was determined to steal two chickens.
He also comforted Prince Xin, "It's really okay. This is not the first time I have done such a thing. The chickens raised by your sister-in-law are really good and taste very delicious. There are also mushrooms next to the circles. We will pick some mushrooms later. How about a chicken stewed with mushrooms!"
The more he talked, the hungrier he felt. The chickens and rabbits raised by the queen and her family tasted really good, and the vegetables they planted were really fresh.
It's a pity that he couldn't eat much on weekdays. The monthly quota was only so little.
Prince Xin looked at his excited brother and felt really helpless.
In the past, he thought that his brother was a man who was high and mighty, but later this impression gradually collapsed, and now it has collapsed to the point where it cannot collapse any more.
The emperor's own martial arts were not as good as Prince Xin's, so he commanded Prince Xin to use Qinggong to jump into the chicken coop.
When Prince Xin was practicing martial arts, he probably never thought that this Qinggong would be used to steal chickens in the future.
After a period of chaos, the two finally caught two chickens.
However, they were also discovered, and a palace maid thought it was a thief so she went to call for help first.
Listening to the movement over there, Prince Xin was almost going crazy: "Royal brother, there are already a lot of people over there, why don't we leave first!"
If they were caught by then, it would be really embarrassing!
The emperor picked mushrooms slowly and said, "Calm down, don't eat them even if they come running over. That's why I asked you to change your clothes. The emperor's dragon robe and the prince's python robe are easily recognized by others, so I asked you to change into ordinary clothes."
Prince Xin: ...
Looking at my brother's reaction, I guess this is not the first time he has done this.
The sisters-in-law are really in trouble. They raised so few chickens and all of them were stolen by my brother.
"Which little thief dares to be so presumptuous in the palace! Come out quickly!"
The ladies in the harem also arrived, and the queen walked in front with a cold face.
What little thief? You don't need to think about who would come to steal chickens. Who else can enter this palace except the person who often steals chickens.
"Your Majesty, please come out quickly. We all know it's you. This is the third time this month."
The ruler of a country stares at other people's chickens every day. What kind of strange habit is this?
At this moment, the emperor has picked the mushrooms, and Prince Xin stood beside him with a speechless face.
This is the third time this month, my brother! Do you have to do this?
Now the treasury is not without money and the kitchen is not without chickens to eat. Is it necessary to always steal chickens?
"Let's go, you catch the two chickens first, and you also hold the mushrooms. First, use Qinggong to get out of that small hole, and I'll take care of the rest!"
The emperor arranged everything. His Qinggong was not very good, and he was not very familiar with martial arts after being an emperor for so many years.
But Prince Xin is different. He is highly skilled in martial arts and martial arts. As long as he can take these foods away, their trip will not be in vain.
Prince Xin looked at the mushrooms stuffed into his arms and the two chickens in his hands, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
No matter what, I still have to listen to my brother. I believe that my brother can deal with my sister-in-law.
Prince Xin used martial arts to go out of the small house. People outside only saw a figure flash and then disappeared.
Concubine De: "!!! My God! When did Huang Shang become so good at martial arts? Is he practicing martial arts behind our backs?"
It shouldn't be possible. The emperor doesn't have time to practice martial arts. In addition to being watched by the empress every day to exercise, how could someone who is watched even when exercising take the initiative to practice martial arts?
And this martial arts looks so good, and his back looks so handsome and upright.
The queen saw through it at a glance that the man was not the emperor, "That's not the emperor, the emperor is still in the mushroom house. He must have brought people to steal our chickens."
Defei: "What a good strategy! The emperor has studied the art of war well."
After a while, the emperor came out, and the smile on his face was even a little flattering.
"Empress, I am just a little greedy. Look at my empty hands and I haven't had time to do anything yet."
"I heard that more than a dozen chicks have been hatched during this period, so it shouldn't matter if I eat two more."
Looking at the emperor with a flattering face, the queen sneered and said, "So what if more than a dozen chicks have been hatched? They were not hatched by you. Can you, as the king of a country, not always focus on these chickens and ducks raised in the harem!"
It is really speechless to have such a husband. When he was young, he might have been more stable. Why is he getting more and more out of touch with age?
The queen scolded the emperor. The people in the harem are used to it, but at this time, they still have to avoid suspicion, after all, they have to consider the emperor's face.
So everyone withdrew and gave the land to the emperor and empress.
Concubine De sighed and said, "These days are really getting more and more lively. I don't know who is the one who is cheating with the emperor."
At this moment, Prince Xin, who was hiding in the dark, was really panicked.
He didn't run too far, but found a corner to hide.
To be honest, this kind of sneaky thing was really the first time in his life, but it was really exciting.
I don't know how the emperor is doing now. The emperor's wife shouldn't do anything to the emperor, after all, they are still husband and wife no matter what.
The two of them supported each other through the difficult times.
After squatting in the corner for a while, Prince Xin still felt uneasy and wanted to go back to take a look. As a result, when he went back, he saw his brother weeding in the vegetable garden.
The cold-faced sister-in-law was supervising on the side, and while supervising, she said: "Just pull out this cage of weeds today. There are two chickens missing. You are really ruthless this time."
The emperor pulled out the weeds with a bitter face. There is really no one who can do this as an emperor!
But who made him respect the queen? She was his first wife, a young couple, and a lover in need. The most important thing was that she was the wife he asked for, so he had to bear it!

Chapter 272 Prince Xin: The chicken is really delicious!
Prince Xin hesitated for a moment and wanted to go out to help, but when he looked at the two chickens in his hands and the mushrooms in his pocket, he gave up the idea.
Don't go out to help and fail to protect these things, then the emperor will be punished in vain.
Fortunately, this patch is not very big, and the weeds will be pulled out in a short while.
The queen would not let the emperor pull weeds here all the time, so she just gave him a slight punishment.
Watching the queen leave, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief very obviously.
Today's punishment is still relatively good, at least he was not forced to exercise or run.
"Eleventh brother! Are you still there?"
Prince Xin came out as soon as the emperor called out, "I'm here, I'm here, brother, are you okay?"
The emperor patted the dust off his body happily, "What can happen? Your sister-in-law is reluctant to really punish me."
Seeing his brother's cheerful look, Prince Xin's emotions were particularly complicated.
The emperor of his brother is really different from what he imagined. He is an emperor above millions of people outside, but why does he seem to have such a low status in this harem?
"Let's go, let's find a remote palace to roast chicken. Brother has neglected you for so many years. Today, I will let you taste the chicken raised by your sister-in-law."
Prince Xin: ...Thank you very much.
Brother, you found a remote palace with no one living in it and started to make a fire and cook.
The emperor's skilled movements showed that he often did this, and there was even a eunuch who came to deliver firewood.
"The most important thing about roasting chicken is the temperature. This is my experience. You must have eaten a lot of roasted food when you were marching and fighting outside."
Prince Xin recalled the previous marches and battles, and then replied: "I have eaten a lot, but I ate with the soldiers at that time, and the food was not very good."
The main reason was that the treasury was empty at that time. Even if most of the money in the treasury was used for military expenses, there was not much left. Prince Xin often took the soldiers to the mountains to hunt game, which was considered a feast.
At that time, he was the first to do anything, and he had suffered all kinds of hardships. When he was hungry, he even ate tree roots. After all, it was good to fill his stomach during the war.
And at that time, there was also a Qi Wang in the rear, and it was uncertain whether the food and grass could be delivered to them. The emperor
also thought of the difficult life at that time, "You were really hard at that time, but fortunately you were still there, otherwise my Dayong would be in danger."
"But you were really too honest at that time."
Prince Xin smiled and said nothing. He was indeed very honest, but there was nothing he could do about it. Recently, his wife and children were in the capital. The power of Qi Wang in the capital was too great. If he did anything to resist, his wife and children would be the most dangerous.
And at that time, the emperor's brother did not have a deep impression of him.
The emperor said as he skillfully roasted chicken and mushrooms: "In fact, when I was young, I also wanted to go to the battlefield. After all, I didn't think of becoming an emperor at that time. At that time, I read a lot of books, all of which talked about the scenery outside the Great Wall and the battlefield. Which man doesn't have the dream of galloping on the battlefield?"
When he was young, his martial arts were still good, and he was also well-known among the princes.
Prince Xin saw that the emperor was really curious, so he told him some things on the battlefield.
There were sad and happy things, and the emperor listened with relish.
It is impossible for her to go to the battlefield in this life. Even if she wants to lead the army in person, it is estimated that the ministers will not agree.
They have two war gods in the north and south of Dayong, and they don't need him to lead the army in person.
Among the princes, the third prince is the best in martial arts and has the talent of a general. Although he doesn't look very smart, he is still a bit gifted in this aspect, and his wife is also very capable.
He sent the third prince to suppress mountain bandits before. The third prince is brave and resourceful in military affairs, and has his own ideas.
When the prince ascends the throne in the future, Prince Xin and Prince Zhennan are not too old and can continue to support. At that time, let them take care of the third prince and train him.
This generation has Prince Xin and Prince Zhennan, and the next generation has the third prince, so there is nothing to worry about.
The two brothers ate one of the two chickens and enjoyed them very much. Prince Xin also believed the emperor's words that the chickens raised by the queen were delicious. After all, they were really delicious.
However, he only ate the meat of the chicken. Remember, he kept the two wings and two legs.
The emperor knew what he was thinking at a glance, "Prepare to take these back to the princess and children. It's good that you, as a husband and father, have done a good job."
Prince Xin smiled and wrapped the chicken with lotus leaves, "The princess and my children have suffered a lot with me over the years. It's normal for me to think about them."
"Royal brother, don't do this kind of thing in the future. It's too exciting and dangerous."
The emperor waved his hand with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Don't worry about this. I know my limits. I'll call you next time I want to eat chicken. You are good at light work and can run. This time, the two of us cooperated perfectly."
"Next time we go to steal ducks, the ducks raised by the queen are also delicious. They are over there in the lake. They raise many more ducks than chickens. They won't notice if one or two are missing."
Prince Xin: ...
This sister-in-law really has a thief in her house. I guess my brother just likes this sneaky feeling. Some people just like to seek some weird excitement. As long as it doesn't affect others, it doesn't matter.
He doesn't understand but respects it. Moreover, as a younger brother, it's not easy for him to interfere in the affairs between husband and wife. Maybe this is the interest between husband and wife.
While eating chicken here, Lin Mo was also eating chicken there. A few chickens were sent over from the farm. They were originally going to make chicken soup, but Lin Mo and Bai Xiao secretly kept two tenderer chickens.
"Old hens are used to make chicken soup. These two chickens are still so tender and not old. They are the most suitable for roasting."
Lin Mo's words were well-reasoned. If her eyes were not fixed on the two chickens, it would be more convincing.
Minister Lin said speechlessly: "You just want to eat roasted chicken. You are looking for so many reasons just to roast these two chickens."
He didn't understand her yet. He raised her with all his heart. He knew what she was going to do when she stuck her butt out.
"You should talk to your mother about this yourself. Anyway, your mother knows that you sent a few chickens to the manor. This chicken soup is also for your health. You are not fully recovered yet and you are thinking about eating those spicy foods. Do you think your mother will punish you?"

Chapter 273 Praising Ji Qianhua She
only knows how to eat some messy things every day. Now she is not fully recovered yet and she is thinking about eating roasted chicken. She
really doesn't care about her body at all. Minister Lin sighed helplessly in his heart.
When Lin Mo heard her father say this, she immediately took the chicken to find Mrs. Lin.
[Go to mother if you want. It's just to eat a chicken. Mother will definitely not say anything.]
To be honest, she didn't say anything. Mrs. Lin almost beat her on the spot, but Lin Mo looked at Mrs. Lin with a pair of big eyes and pitifully, which softened Mrs. Lin's heart.
After Lin Mo came back, he said to Bai Xiao proudly: "Look, this is my strength. If you want to accomplish something, the first thing is to be thick-skinned. Don't give up because of a little setback. If you don't do it, you will never succeed."
Bai Xiao: "I know, I learned it. Don't worry, if I want to do something in the future, I will take action immediately. I want to become a giant in action!"
The maids passing by: ...
Is it necessary to be like this? It's just two chickens. Why do you act like you have accomplished something big?
If this person's body is not fully recovered, how can the lady be so easy to talk to? She must be beaten twice.
After the two of them boasted to each other, they found a place to roast chicken. Because they were afraid that their cooking skills were not good, they also caught a reinforcement.
Ji Qianhua: "I said why don't you let the servants help, but do it yourself, I still need to read the military books."
Ji Qianhua complained while roasting: "Can't you go find someone else, can't you go find your brother."
Lin Mo answered innocently: "I went to my brother last time, if I go to find him this time, he will definitely chase me out."
Ji Qianhua: ... So you set your sights on me, right?
He was reading a military book in the study, but these two people rushed in and grabbed his hand and ran out.
He thought he was talking about something, and almost took the sword, but it turned out that they just grabbed him to roast the chicken.
[Oh, why is this guy so long-winded, a grown man is so long-winded, I really don't want him to be my brother-in-law. ] As
soon as Lin Mo's voice came out, Ji Qianhua's complaints disappeared instantly.
Why does this little girl always want him to be her brother-in-law? What's wrong with him?
Bai Xiao: "Oh my! Don't always look at Mo Mo, take a look at the chicken in your hand, it will get burnt if you don't take care of it."
When Ji Qianhua was speechless, he forgot to turn the chicken in his hand and almost got burnt, which made the two people very anxious.
Lin Mo said in his heart with disgust: [I said his cooking skills are not as good as my brother's. But he is a soldier who is on the march and fighting outside. How can his skill in roasting things be so poor? You can't judge a person
by his appearance.] Bai Xiao: [That's right. I remember that he was good at roasting things when he was on the march and fighting outside. He could roast any game. He was even praised by the King of Zhennan for his skills. How come his skills have regressed now? Lin Mo: [
I know this. This is called comfort makes people regress. It should be that life after returning home is too comfortable, so they forget their previous life. This is not good.]
The two people were talking back and forth in their hearts. Ji Qianhua was so angry that he almost threw two roast chickens on their heads. There are
so many complaints in the roast chickens given to you. You are really asking for a beating!
What do you mean his craftsmanship has regressed? His craftsmanship is top-notch, but he just doesn't want to roast it.
Now he has to prove that his craftsmanship has not regressed, and he has to let these two people see it and let them reflect on it!
Ji Qianhua's aura suddenly rose, and Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were both shocked by his sudden aura.
Lin Mo: [What's going on? Why do I feel like there's fire in his eyes again? Do these two chickens with such fierce aura have a grudge against him?]
Bai Xiao: [No, they have nothing to do with each other. I don't understand why this guy's aura suddenly became fierce.]
Ji Qianhua tried hard to prove his strength, so he roasted these two chickens until they were fragrant and crispy.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao were both complaining before, but now they were full of praise.
Lin Mo's saliva was about to flow out, because it was so fragrant, and many of the spices that Ji Qianhua brought back were not available in Beijing.
Ji Qianhua said proudly while placing the spices: "I bought this at the border. This spice tastes great. There is absolutely no such thing in the capital."
What he said about buying your pride was not what Lin Mo heard but a bunch of messy noises. Anyway, she didn't hear a word of it.
Bai Xiao: [Tsk, who said there is no such thing in the capital? It's just sold out.]
In fact, there are many things sold in the trade between the countries. Some things sell faster and some sell slower.
Now the caravan is still on the road, so there is no such thing in the capital. Bai Xiao can't hide this. Ji Qianhua: ...If there is no such thing now, then it is no such thing.
After it is sold out, we have to wait until there is stock. Only then can we say it is available.
Lin Mo: [What are you mumbling about? I want to eat chicken, hurry up and ask him to roast the chicken.]
Bai Xiao: [He was just bragging about himself, so I retorted him in my heart.]
Ji Qianhua: ...I gave you two roasted chickens, and I can't even brag about myself, you two are too much!
When Lin Mo heard that Ji Qianhua was bragging about himself, he said, "Brother Ji Ji's cooking skills are really extraordinary. I have heard that your cooking skills are good, so I asked you to come here. I didn't believe it before, but now I see that I was really worrying too much."
"Look at this roasted chicken. If there is roasted chicken in the imperial examination, then Brother Ji Ji will definitely be the top scorer!"
Ji Qianhua: ... What are you doing?
Lin Mo: [Xiaobai, Xiaobai, look at how I am praising him. Isn't it very good? Don't you think he was just praising himself? Let me help him to brag. Bai Xiao
: You are quite kindhearted, but you are exaggerating. You can see that Ji Qianhua is so motionless that he must be shocked by you. Maybe he is touched.
Ji Qianhua really wanted to complain back but couldn't say it, so he kept it in his heart.
I am moved? Why should I be moved? Your compliments are so fake! How can
these two have the nerve to do that? They are indeed a perfect match, both of them are quite shameless.

Chapter 274 The Backstabbing Hero Ji Qianhua
Finally, under the endless praise from Lin Mo and Bai Xiao, Ji Qianhua finished roasting the chicken.
The moment he put the roasted chicken in their hands, Ji Qianhua immediately stood up and said, "I'm going back to read the military books. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You two should eat less of this stuff."
Lin Mo quickly stood up and tore off two chicken wings for him. Don't ask why it wasn't chicken legs, because she couldn't bear to give the chicken legs to others.
"Brother Ji Ji, these two chicken wings are for you. You've worked hard to roast the chicken for us. I'm not such a greedy person. This is your reward."
Looking at the two chicken wings that were stuffed to him, Ji Qianhua's mouth twitched, "I want to eat chicken legs."
Lin Mo's eyes widened and he took a big step back when he heard this, "I've already given you chicken wings, why are you still coveting my chicken legs? You can't be so greedy."
Bai Xiao also nodded in agreement, "That's right, you can't be so greedy."
Ji Qianhua: ... I'm greedy for asking for a chicken leg from you?
There's much more meat in two chicken wings than in one chicken leg, and this chicken is pretty fat.
Lin Mo looked at Ji Qianhua warily, then took a few steps back and ran again with Bai Xiao. He looked quite panicked from behind.
[Run, run! This guy must be thinking about my chicken leg. What if it is snatched away?]
Bai Xiao: [Don't worry, don't worry. I'll share one of my chicken legs with you. I'm not such a greedy person.]
Greedy person, Ji Qianhua:...
Am I greedy if I ask for one of your chicken legs? I'm a dignified prince of a royal palace. Several people have eaten my roasted chicken, but if I ask for one of your chicken legs, I become a greedy person.
Ji Qianhua was almost laughing out of anger. He looked at the two chicken wings in his hand and put them into his mouth angrily.
It would be a waste if he didn't eat it, after all, it was earned by his hard work.
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao found a corner and ate a delicious meal, complaining while eating.
However, the corner they found was not very good, they just found the corner under Lin Qi's window, so Lin Qi could hear everything they said clearly.
"Ji Qianhua is just too stingy. Everything about him is good except that he is a little stingy. Do you think he will be willing to spend money on my sister in the future? What if he is not willing to spend money on my sister?"
Bai Xiao: "I don't think so. Although he doesn't have much money, he seems to be quite generous when spending money on your sister. You don't need to worry about this."
Lin Mo: "But he even cares about buying me a roast chicken. I am really worried when a man is so stingy."
Bai Xiao After thinking for a while, she replied, "It may depend on the person. He is stingy with us but not with your sister. After all, how can you compare someone you like with someone you don't like?"
Lin Mo's eyes widened immediately when he heard this: "So he doesn't like me! After all, we grew up together, but he doesn't like me!"
Seeing her reaction, Bai Xiao didn't know how to answer. Why should he like you? He already has someone he likes.
"Well, I already have someone I like so I can't possibly like you."
Lin Mo slapped his thigh and said unhappily, "How can this be the same? I'm not talking about the love between a man and a woman, but the love between friends and siblings. He always says that he treats me as his own sister, but he doesn't like me, so he's nitpicking with me. This is too much!"
Bai Xiao was speechless for two seconds and said, "That's not how it should be calculated. He does treat you as his own sister, but siblings have to settle accounts, right?"
If he didn't treat you as his own sister, could you come and go freely in the Zhennan Palace? Could you have used his name to cause trouble outside when you were a child?
Yes, when Lin Mo was a kid, he was afraid of getting beaten for getting into trouble, so for a while, whenever he got into trouble outside, he would report Ji Qianhua's name.
Then, there would be a little boy in the Zhennan Palace who would kneel on the ground, gritting his teeth and refusing to admit his mistakes, even if he was beaten to tears.
But in fact, he had already cursed Lin Mo to death in his heart.
During that time, Lin Mo was fighting outside every day, and Lin Qi had to study, so he handed the task of taking care of his sister to Ji Qianhua.
Ji Qianhua did live up to expectations. Although he failed to take care of his sister, he took a lot of blame. The little man was quite resistant to beatings. Anyway, he refused to admit his mistakes, and he refused to admit his mistakes even when he was beaten by the Zhennan King and cried loudly.
In his words, why should I admit
my fault if I didn't do it? But when asked who did it, he refused to tell you, and then he got beaten up again. Because in the eyes of adults, it's considered as covering up someone's crime. When asked who did it, you refuse to tell me, and you say you didn't do it. Do you want to be beaten?
Because Lin Mo had such a tough brother next door, he was really on his feet during that time. If he hadn't been caught by the adults, Ji Qianhua would have to take the blame all the time.
Even after all this, you still say he doesn't treat you as his own sister, then what does it feel like to treat you as his own sister?
Lin Qi was also speechless at the window. Couldn't these two choose a more secluded place to gossip? Why did they have to run to the corner of his study wall?
Bai Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he slowly raised his head, just in time to meet Lin Qi's eyes, and was startled at first.
"Hurry! Brother!"
Bai Xiao quickly pushed Lin Mo, and Lin Mo raised her head while biting the chicken. Looking at her brother's half-smile, she smiled subconsciously.
"Brother, do you want to come?"
Lin Qi said softly with a smile on his face: "What are you two doing?"
Lin Mo rolled his eyes and decided to put the blame on Ji Qianhua.
"Brother, listen to me, this is Brother Ji Ji inviting us to eat roast chicken, his roast chicken tastes really good."
Bai Xiao also quickly agreed and said, "Yes, yes, it's not easy for us to refuse, right?"
Lin Mo also secretly glanced at her brother. Anyone in the family can control her. Sometimes her brothers and sisters are stricter than her mother, especially when it comes to health.
Her brothers and sisters are very strict about her eating. She can still act coquettishly in front of her parents, but she can't say anything in front of her brothers and sisters. So when she
was sick as a child, her parents would let her brothers and sisters take care of her first, so that she wouldn't always act coquettishly in front of them to soften their hearts.
Although her mother agreed to the roast chicken, her brother and sister might not agree. This is one of the reasons why she didn't ask her brother to make the roast chicken.
[Looking at my brother's expression, he must have believed it. Brother Ji Ji has already taken on many bad responsibilities, so this one shouldn't be a big deal.]
Lin Mo chewed the meat in his mouth for a while. Hmm! It smells so good!

Chapter 275: Hoping for a Successful Husband
Lin Qi was speechless when she saw Lin Mo chewing secretly.
She was still thinking about eating more at this time. Was her share of food missing at home?
It was not that he didn't allow her to eat, but he wanted her to eat after she recovered from her illness. She hadn't recovered from her illness yet and was eating these messy things. Then she would complain about sore throat.
Bai Xiao felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong and hurriedly pulled Lin Mo to run away, saying as he ran: "Brother, if there is nothing else, we will leave first. You should read your book well."
Lin Mo hadn't reacted yet, [Why are you pulling me to run so fast? Is my brother going to beat us? Bai Xiao
: If we stay a little longer, they might beat us up. Your attitude when listening to a lecture makes me angry, let alone him.
How can you eat while listening to someone else's lecture, and eat to keep fit?
Listening to their increasingly distant thoughts, Lin Qi sighed helplessly.
This little system is really too tolerant of Mo'er. I had thought of finding someone who could take care of this little devil, but what happened? After
Lin Mo and Bai Xiao finished their meals, they happily went to find a place to join in the fun.
"Hua Kongque is about to fight with others in Wangyue Tower. If we hurry over now, we can join in the fun."
Bai Xiao gets excited when he meets someone familiar.
Lin Mo asked anxiously while packing snacks: "How could he fight with others? How could he fight with others with his appearance?"
Bai Xiao: "Actually, nothing serious happened. Hua Kongque and that person were not getting along well. When they met on the road, it was inevitable that they would have a quarrel. They cursed each other and greeted each other's parents and ancestors. Isn't this going to fight?"
Lin Mo: ...Sure enough, no matter when greeting each other's parents and letters, the most vicious language is always used.
When Lin Mo and his friends rushed over excitedly, there were already a lot of people there. Qin Zheng was anxious to control Wei Zhengan, fearing that he would rush over in excitement.
"Zheng'an, calm down a little bit. The other side has more people and more power. If you start fighting first, it will be your fault."
There are only two of them and five of them. If they start fighting, they will definitely suffer.
And if they start fighting first, it will be considered that they are the ones who started the fight.
Wei Zheng'an's face flushed with anger, "Let me go quickly. If I don't beat that turtle grandson, I won't be called Wei!"
The young man on the opposite side was also held back by his men, and he was not much better off.
"Wei Zheng'an! Come here if you have the guts. Don't think I'm afraid of you. Don't think you're so great just because your father got a promotion!"
Wei Zheng'an: "He is great. If you have the guts, let your father get a promotion and see. Your father is not as good as my father and you are jealous of me, right? I know you are jealous of me. You have been jealous of me since you were a child." "
You are jealous that I look better than you, I am more talented than you, and you are not as good as me in everything!"
Lin Mo was amused when he heard Hua Kongque's words, "Hehehe, you really deserve to be Hua Kongque, you are really narcissistic. But are they competing for fathers?"
Bai Xiao: "Probably, the other guy's father is always one level lower than Hua Kongque's father. Wasn't Hua Kongque's father promoted to Dali Temple Minister some time ago, so this is two levels lower."
Lin Mo nodded in sudden realization. So that's the case. So this is really jealousy.
"Bah, I'm jealous of you. Do you have talent? You are born into a good family. How can you compare with me? You just rely on your good family background. You will ruin everyone's family background!"
The other party was also very angry, but it was really interesting to listen to the quarrel between the two.
The two exposed each other's shortcomings, and then began to compete with their fathers' abilities. Others hope their sons will become
successful, but they hope their fathers will become successful. They are really two filial sons.
Hua Kongque was furious and said, "Just wait, my father will definitely be promoted again!"
The other party also shouted, "Your father will be promoted, but my father won't. I won't invite you to dinner until my father is promoted!"
If there is a promotion, most people will hold a banquet, and the closer people will come to give gifts and eat.
Lin Mo couldn't help but yelled, "Stop comparing yourself, if you have the guts, compare yourselves. Why are you always looking at your own dad?" The two
turned their heads to look at Lin Mo at the same time. Lin Mo showed them a big white tooth, "What are you looking at? My dad is more powerful!"
Bai Xiao: ... You just said you don't want others to compare their dads, but you compare your own dad in the blink of an eye.
When Lin Mo came, the two of them suddenly quieted down. There was no other way. They felt like they were not wearing pants when they quarreled in front of this little ancestor.
It felt like Hun was cold all over, especially insecure.
"Go on, I haven't seen enough, go on."
Lin Mo ate melon seeds and asked them to continue. It was really interesting to see these two quarreling. It was also interesting to see these two filial sons compete with each other for their fathers.
"Does your father know that you are bragging about him so much outside? He became the prime minister in three years. Does the prime minister know?"
The man on the opposite side blushed with shame. He said that it was he who said that his father became the prime minister in three years. He was so angry at the time that he didn't think too much.
"Master Xiao Lin, you are joking. We just had some arguments and said something wrong."
Wei Zhengan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not so crazy just now. He only said that his father would be promoted, not that his father would become the prime minister.
Lin Mo said cheerfully, "I know you didn't mean it, but your quarrel is really fun. Does your father really know how to do a backflip? Didn't you just say that when your father gets angry, he can kick people away with a backflip?"
Bai Xiao whispered, "Yes, but his father usually kicks him away with a backflip. This is one of his father's special skills. He didn't lie about this."
The person on the other side: ...Can you please stop exposing my shortcomings?
The onlookers laughed at once. The quarrel between these two people is really fun. I didn't expect that I could watch such a good show when I came to have a meal.
Wei Zhengan touched his nose and began to think about whether he had boasted about what his father could do. Probably not.
Qin Zheng saw his expression and suddenly guessed what he was thinking, and then whispered to him: "Zheng'an, don't worry, you didn't say that uncle can do a backflip, you said he can do a backhanded heart-cut."
Wei Zheng'an: ... This is worse than a backflip.
Fortunately, Lin Mo didn't ask him this question, otherwise how could he explain it.
