The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 56 Conspiracy
As Lin Zisu said, she was about to leave the warehouse, and she made up her mind that she really couldn't stay with someone like Xie Xi, and she couldn't say how to pester herself later.The wind was blowing under her feet, and she walked to the door of the secret door in three or two steps. Lve Ying carefully reminded: "Miss, your hair hasn't been cleaned yet..."

Only then did Lin Zisu remember that she still had messy hair on her head, so she really couldn't go out to meet people.She tidied up her clothes casually, combed her hair with her hands, and brushed all the hair from her cheeks behind her ears. She felt that the tidying was almost done, and raised her eyes to Lve Ying to ask.

Xie Xi was very dissatisfied with the sudden change of the beautiful scenery in front of him, and said: "Is there anything to clean up, haven't you seen it?" Then seeing Yang Xingyao standing up, he asked again: "Do you think so, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Xingyao heard Xie Xi calling him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you damaged Miss Lin's things, but you have to pay according to the price."

As he spoke, he walked forward, just as he saw Lve Ying leaning over to pick up the butterfly that had fallen on the ground and spread his wings. Jewelry, let your girl use it first."

Xie Xi looked down at the silver step shaker under his feet. The silver was already soft, but he accidentally stepped on it just now, and the butterfly that spread its wings on the step shaker turned into a leaf, and it was useless.Hearing that Yang Xingyao wanted to give Lin Zisu jewelry, Xie Xi was angry for no reason, and said: "Your Majesty is right, since this king damaged Miss Lin's jewelry, he will naturally pay the price..."

Originally, Xie Xi wanted to talk about compensation according to the price, but suddenly remembered that the steps under her feet were really shabby, worse than the ones on the girl in her house, and said: "Of course the king will compensate her with some better jewelry."

Yang Xingyao said with a smile: "Your Highness, what I'm talking about is this wooden ladder, not Miss Lin's jewelry. She is the new owner of this silver building, and shopkeeper Lin uses a few pieces of jewelry, do you still need us to worry about it?"

As soon as these words came out, both Lin Zisu and Xie Xi were taken aback.

Xie Xi immediately understood, and said sourly: "If I had known that your son had such intentions, why should I be so careless?"

Lin Zisu has never seen Yang Xingyao bring up the matter of the shop since she declined it in the Nankang Princess's Mansion. She thought the matter would be let go, but she didn't expect him to bring up the old matter again today, and hastily declined: " Mr. Yang, your consultation fee has already been paid, and I absolutely cannot accept this silver house!"

Yang Xingyao seemed to have seen Lin Zisu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. There is a saying that 'it is easy to add flowers, but difficult to send charcoal in snow'. I heard that there are visitors from far away in your house. Now is the time to spend money. Although the monthly income of the silver house and the grain store is meager, it is more than enough to subsidize the household of the family. The managers here are all old people who I have used for many years, so you don’t have to worry about business matters, just be safe and secure as the shopkeeper.”

While speaking, Lve Ying came holding a jewelry box, Lin Zisu opened it to look, there were dozens of pieces of jewelry inside, including gold, jade and jade.

Yang Xingyao saw that the jewellery, which was prepared by the steward, was not considered expensive, but that it was exquisitely crafted, which was exactly what he wanted, so he said to Lin Zisu: "Miss Lin, there is a room for girls to dress up in the silver building. Let's go with Lve Ying."

Lin Zisu thanked her, and went up the stairs with Lve Ying and out the secret door.Xie Xi picked up the silver step shaker at his feet, held it in his hand and looked at it for a few breaths, then snorted coldly: "Your Majesty puts so much effort into it, even the jewelry he prepares is carefully selected, it's not expensive, and it's easy to wear on your body." Not ugly."

Yang Xingyao said frankly: "Miss Lin has a heavy responsibility, and she needs to be careful in everything, not to be too conspicuous. But Miss Lin knows well, even if I don't arrange it, I believe she will have her own measure."

Xie Xi was even more unhappy, put that step shaker into his sleeve, and said with a straight face: "Young Master, you have someone in your heart. I just finished planning for you, and you still want to eat from a bowl and look at a pot? "

"Your Highness, you have wronged me. I have never had any other thoughts about Miss Lin, but I just want to repay her for saving her life." Yang Xingyao shook his hand and asked with a smile: "However, I heard that Your Highness hides beauty in the golden house, and the oiran at home is thin. You have everything you need for a horse, and you still want to get Miss Lin's idea?"

In the Yinlou business, Lin Zisu returned home full of rewards. When she returned home, she wore a lotus-patterned gold hairpin and a gold-encrusted jade bracelet on her head, and a pair of jade bracelets on her hands, all of which were common jewelry on the market.

She and Lve Ying had just entered the backyard when they met Mrs. Huang passing by the door with Lin Zizhu.

Seeing that Lve Ying was holding a jewelry box, Mrs. Huang hurriedly brought Lin Zizhu to the front, and asked with a smile, "Eldest sister just came back from outside? I heard from your mother that you went to the street to choose jewelry, did you find something you like?" ?”

Lin Zisu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to the Prince Wei's Mansion in a few days? I just chose a few pieces of jewelry. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, as long as you can take it out to meet people."

Huang said: "Your second younger sister will also go there that day. I'm afraid that she will lose face to our house, and she is suffering from a headache. I don't know what styles are popular in the capital."

As she spoke, she secretly pushed Lin Zizhu in front of her, and said, "How can you say that you are Zizhu's eldest sister, why don't you explain it to her."

Lin Zizhu was just over 12 years old, described as petite, and because she was often reprimanded by Huang, she developed a timid temperament.Seeing her younger sister shrinking back, Lin Zisu frowned, took off the jade bracelet from her hand, handed it to Lin Zizhu, and said, "Second sister, I think your wrist is empty. This pair of bracelets will not be used in the future." You wear it."

Lin Zizhu hesitated for a moment, but still took the bracelet.

Xie Xi gripped Lin Zisu's wrist with a circle of red marks. The pair of bracelets were originally used to cover up, but now they have faded. In order to prevent Huang from discovering the abnormality on her hands, she had to gather her sleeves without any trace. , Said: "Second Aunt, I still have some things to do in the yard, so I will take my leave first."

Huang's gaze was always on the jewelry box, and seeing that Lin Zisu didn't intend to open the box at all, she curled her lips and said, "You are all busy people, and you don't even have time to speak, go ahead and go. , I still have to teach this girl Zizhu."

After the figures of Lin Zisu and Lve Ying turned around the arched door, Huang said to Lin Zizhu with contempt on her face, "Hmph, your elder sister is really stingy, there must be a lot of jewelry in her box, and I just gave you this one." A pair of stone bracelets, you should visit her more these days to see what treasures she has!"

Lin Zisu didn't know at all that she was already missed by Mrs. Huang. She had just returned to the house and found some ointment to reduce swelling and rubbed her wrist around, but her wrist still felt a little painful.

She cursed Xie Xi in her heart, and then she vaguely remembered that something was wrong when she fell in the silver building.

Thinking about the cause and effect, and remembering what Yang Xingyao asked Xie Xi to compensate him at the price, he immediately understood that the ladder must have been tampered with by Xie Xi.

In this way, it is easy to think why those two bags of food appeared behind him in due course.That was when Xie Xi suddenly realized his conscience after doing something wrong, and found two bags of grain for himself.

What is Xie Xi going to do?Obviously, I have already agreed to cooperate with him, so I want to do this again?
Lin Zisu couldn't figure out Xie Xi's thoughts, so she stopped thinking about it now, and Xie Xi still came to beg her, why bother about this irrelevant person?

She comfortably took a long nap in the room, and when she woke up, it was already past Shen, and the shadow of the sun left ink marks of different shades on the ground.

The heat invaded the room through the Xiangfei curtain. Although the sun was westward, the room was still hot and dry.

Lin Zisu got up and sat in the room for a while, with a thin layer of sweat on the back of her neck, picked up the round fan on the table and fanned it casually a few times, remembering the seven-wheel fan that her brother was making, Immediately became interested.

When she ran all the way to Tiangongyuan, Lin Wenjing hadn't returned from the school, and the seven-wheel fan had already begun to take shape.

At this time in the past, Wang Qingsheng had already driven his carriage to pick up his son, but today he got Lin Wenjing's order, so he doesn't need to go to school anymore.

He stayed in Tiangongyuan all day, polishing a few small wooden components according to Lin Wenjing's request.

Seeing his young lady coming, Wang Qingsheng got up and bowed, and said to Lin Zisu with a smile: "Miss, the eldest son was still mentioning you when he went out early in the morning, saying that this thing is almost ready, and I must let you see it." Just a click."

Lin Zisu also smiled and said, "I'll teach you how to be smart. It's called a seven-wheel fan. You'll be following your big brother all day, so you have to remember it clearly."

Wang Qingsheng scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "Yes, it's the seven-wheel fan. The young one is stupid. The eldest son and the young one have talked about it several times, but they didn't remember it."

Lin Zisu ignored Wang Qingsheng and carefully studied the seven-wheel fan.The blueprint I drew that day was a whim, but it was just for fun, so the real thing I imagined was two feet high and three feet in circumference.

However, the actual object made by Lin Wenjing is obviously slightly different from his own blueprint.The seven-wheel fan is about four feet high, and below it is a large wooden barrel with a circumference of nine feet. A round wooden stick is inserted on it, and seven round wood chips are evenly inserted on it to make the fan blades.

Because the seven pieces of wood above were too heavy, Lin Zisu fiddled vigorously to turn the few fan blades.

Lin Zisu was a little discouraged, and sighed. Wang Qingsheng saw that she was in a bad mood, and said, "The young master said, Miss, in your blueprint, you need water to help the leaves of the seven-wheel fan move by themselves. Get up, the one in front of you, he has added some mechanisms below, it doesn’t need water.”

Oh?It seems that my brother has a new idea. Lin Zisu is a little anxious to see how her brother can make the seven-wheel fan move by itself.

Lin Zisu stayed in the Tiangongyuan for about a stick of incense, when she saw Lin Wenjing, sweating profusely, trotting all the way over.Lin Zisu looked distressed, and was about to take out her sweat towel to wipe him off, but Lin Wenjing said happily, "Sister, I thought of a way to make the seven-wheel fan rotate by itself."

Lin Zisu hurriedly asked what was going on, and Lin Wenjing took apart the wooden tube under the seven-wheel fan, pointed to a wooden round box at the bottom, and said, "I added this bracket here, and the bracket is connected to the axle. I put all the seven axles in your picture into this barrel, and as long as the bracket is tightened, the fan blades on it will rotate by themselves."

After Lin Wenjing finished speaking, she was very proud, with a smug look on her face, waiting for Lin Zisu's praise.

Lin Zisu smiled secretly in her heart, and twisted the mechanism several times vigorously, and as soon as she let go, the fan blades on it turned slowly. Lin Zisu hurriedly praised: "Brother, you are so smart, even with such a complicated design I can figure it out too."

Lin Wenjing was very satisfied, he clicked his chin a few times, and then showed a trace of frustration on his face, and said: "Unfortunately, this leaf is too heavy, no matter how many axles there are, it will not be able to rotate too fast."

Lin Zisu hadn't thought about this problem, and there was no good solution for a while. The brother and sister discussed some details in detail, and they didn't give up until it was completely dark.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard at night, Lin Zisu flipped through the books in his small study, found the "Miscellaneous Notes of Youmeng" and flipped through it again.

The second watch drum sounded outside, Lin Zisu began to feel sleepy, covered her mouth and yawned, got up and stood by the window for a while.

There was a slight breeze outside the window, and she was already a little chilly. She was about to order Lve Ying outside the door to prepare water for her to take a bath, when she saw a long and narrow figure suddenly appeared under the shadow of the lamp.

Lin Zisu was startled, and was about to call out loudly, when she turned her head and saw Xie Xi, and there was a red mark on that handsome face, which was the injury suffered during the day.

Seeing the scars on Xie Xi's face, Lin Zisu first smiled.

Immediately, he remembered all the rudeness he had done to him, and broke into his study at this time, and his face sank again.

Xie Xi didn't seem to take the wound on his face seriously, and sat smilingly in front of the desk where Lin Zisu sat just now, flipping through the "Miscellaneous Notes of You Meng" in his hand.Seeing that Lin Zisu turned his head, he smiled and said, "Susu, I didn't expect that you would still read such miscellaneous books."

Why is this Xie Xi so haunted!

Lin Zisu was so angry that she stepped forward to snatch the book, and shouted in a low voice, "Why are you coming to my house again!"

"Are you asking, how did I get in? When I arrived at your house, I saw that the door of your study was open, so I walked in by myself."

Lin Zisu was puzzled, wasn't Lve Ying guarding the door?Why didn't I hear any movement?
Xie Xi saw what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your girl named Lve Ying is good at martial arts, but unfortunately she is a dead-headed person. This king has no choice but to resort to extreme measures."

"What did you do to her?" Lin Zisu took a step back and asked with a vigilant expression.

"Menghan medicine!"

Xie Xi smirked and said, "Miss Lin, why don't you try it too?"

Seeing that Lin Zisu was about to go out to check, Xie Xi got up and stopped her, and said, "You girls are just stunned by me. After a while, pour a bowl of cold water on their faces and they will wake up."

Hearing that Lve Ying and the others were fine, Lin Zisu was slightly relieved.

It is not the first time she has dealt with Xie Xi, knowing that he comes and goes like the wind, if he wants to come to her, she has never been able to stop her, so she said calmly: "My lord came here uninvited, I don't know what's the plan?"

Xie Xi smiled and said, "Didn't you damage one of your jewelry during the day? Naturally, I am here to make amends for you."
