Chapter 20 The First Step to Getting Rich

A person lying on the bed covered with a quilt, even if there is a difference in body shape, nothing can be seen.

Lin Qingyue turned around and fetched a few jars from the table, sat by the bed and smeared Xiao Tao's face for a while, finally wiped her fingertips stained with various rouges with a handkerchief, and smiled with satisfaction.

The curves of Xiao Tao's face are almost like hers, coupled with her uncanny makeup skills, as long as Xiao Tao doesn't take the initiative to make a sound, even if someone is standing next to her, she will never be able to tell whether the person on the bed is Lin Qingyue herself.

Lin Qingyue trimmed her face, put on an inconspicuous men's clothing, and tied her long hair high. To outsiders, she was nothing more than a thin man.

After blowing out the candle, Lin Qingyue quietly opened the back window, turned over and left the room.

It was not in vain that she took Xue Ji around the mansion that day, she had mastered the layout of the guards in the mansion, plus she was petite, so she came to the back door dodgingly.

She made a special trip to meet Xiaoguozi yesterday. Xiaoguozi was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He was so thin and black that he seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. When he saw Lin Qingyue, his eyes were very bright. , wanting to get close to Lin Qingyue but a little timid, he is a very shy person.

Lin Qingyue went to see him specially, mainly to get the key to the back door from him.

Xiaoguozi helps out in the back kitchen, and goes out of the house through the back door for daily purchases. People like them who come in and out often have the key to the back door in their hands.

Lin Qingyue was lucky. Although Xiao Guozi hadn't come to the house for a few years, he recognized a good master. The master liked him very much when he saw him working hard and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Not only did he have the key to the back cook, Not just one.

Lin Qingyue stole a handful of the small pot while she was not paying attention, and quietly hid it in her cuff.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Lin Qingyue tiptoed to the backyard door and used the key to gently open the back door. As soon as she left the house, Lin Qingyue suddenly felt her body and mind brighten up.

Only at this moment did she realize that she had been subconsciously suppressing herself during the days in the Lin Mansion, being cautious for fear that if she made a wrong step, she would fall into other people's tricks and never recover.

Lin Qingyue looked up at the sky, the vast and boundless sky was full of stars, although it was the same sky, the sky in the mansion felt extremely oppressive.

Swiping away the complicated thoughts in her mind, Lin Qingyue quickly left the alley where the back door was located.

The moment she stepped into the main street from the alley, Lin Qingyue's eyes felt hot, and her nose felt sour.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

Although she moved to another place, the outside world is still so vast. Being outside the mansion, Lin Qingyue felt that the deep house compound was actually a huge cage, trapping people in it, gradually forgetting the vastness of the outside world. appearance.

The sadness in Lin Qingyue's heart affected Xiao Linze, he looked at the familiar street through Lin Qingyue's eyes, imagining the feeling of walking on this street down-to-earth, and sighed a long time.

Lin Qingyue was startled suddenly when she heard a sigh, and realized that the sigh came from her head when she saw no one around.

Thinking of the fight she had with the system before, Lin Qingyue mistakenly thought that this sigh was a sign of the system's sincere repentance, and she immediately felt better.

"Don't sigh. Although you are indeed useless, as long as you don't have such a bad temper in the future, I won't complain to you."

Xiao Linze has gradually become used to Lin Qingyue saying some words that he doesn't understand from time to time, and the result of getting used to it is that Xiao Linze will selectively filter out these words directly.

"What did you want to do when you ran out of the Lin Mansion?"

Sensing the other party's calm tone, Lin Qingyue was in a good mood, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she walked slowly into the crowd, and said quietly: "I'm going to find a rouge shop."

Xiao Linze had seen the rouges of different colors that Lin Qingyue prepared, and also seen Lin Qingyue's makeup skills.

Although he didn't know much about women's rouge and gouache, he could guess from Xiaotao's performance that Lin Qingyue's craftsmanship should be excellent.

The rouge formulated by Lin Qingyue should be uncommon in the market. Xiao Linze guessed that Lin Qingyue had two purposes for going to the rouge shop. All the rouges on sale have those.

"On the east side of the street, there is the largest rouge building in Kyoto. You can go there and have a look."

Lin Qingyue paused, and asked suspiciously: "I haven't finished exploring the map yet, how do you know where the shop is?"

Xiao Linze suddenly became alert, secretly thinking that he was careless.

"I just know it."

After a short period of doubts, Lin Qingyue was soon relieved.

The corner of the mouth was raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "I apologize for what I said before, you are not so useless."

Xiao Linze was slightly taken aback, although he didn't have a body, he could feel a little heat on his face...

Lin Qingyue also figured it out. If she wants to live well in this troubled world, she must have a few trustworthy people around her. Now the most trustworthy person around her is the system. Although the system is a bit paranoid, it only pursues its original intention helping her.

Lin Qingyue is not the kind of person who doesn't know good from bad, and she will remember in her heart when others treat her well.

The system exists attached to her, and she can't live without the system if she wants to live without danger. Now that things have come to this point, she thinks it's unnecessary to fight tit for tat all the time, and the correct way to get along is to get along harmoniously and mutually benefit each other.

Lin Qingyue was walking towards the Rouge Building that Xiao Linze mentioned, while chatting with Xiao Linze in her mind, most of their previous relationship was Xiao Linze making suggestions, Lin Qingyue was busy with various coping .

One of them was giving orders and the other was carrying out orders, but there was no basic communication.

Xiao Linze refused at first, but couldn't hold back Lin Qingyue's serial cal1, so he reluctantly responded.

Most of them are perfunctory, only occasionally when Lin Qingyue talks about topics that interest him, she will say a few more words.

"Mr. System, do you know what is the current situation in North Korea and China? Who is in power?"

Xiao Linze's wandering thoughts suddenly returned, and he asked back with tense nerves: "Why are you asking this?"

Did you notice something?

Lin Qingyue smirked, her eyes followed the acrobats up and down, she didn't notice the change in Xiao Linze's attitude at all.

"Just ask me, I want to do business to make money. I always have to deal with the government. Officials protect each other and often affect the whole body. I always need to know a general idea so that I won't offend anyone in the future. Know.

Xiao Linze was silent for a long while, and after making sure that Lin Qingyue was really just asking casually, he spoke again: "The current Holy Majesty is over seventy years old, and his health has been deteriorating in recent years, and he has entrusted several princes to take care of all the affairs of the court."

Lin Qingyue felt a little surprised, she never expected that the situation of the dynasty she traveled through would be like this.

"If the authority is delegated, won't the emperor be taken over by the princes?"

It was only then that Xiao Linze was surprised: "You actually understand government affairs?"

Lin Qingyue couldn't help rolling her eyes, and said with a smile, "Who do you look down on? This three-year-old knows it, okay?"

Xiao Lin suppressed his complicated thoughts, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "It's not the decentralization of power. The real power is still in the hands of the emperor. The seemingly devolution of power is actually to let the princes check and balance each other. The princes are all focused on political affairs for fear of falling behind others. In the slightest, no one has time to think about the throne, and the emperor's throne is naturally stable."
