son, don't mess around

Chapter 81 Xu Lan's Help

"Miss, where are you going?"

Xu House.

A figure crept across the small courtyard, sneaking towards the door.

After walking a few steps, a maid appeared not far from Xu Lan, looking at her lady's movements curiously.

Xu Lan was shocked.

Found out? !
"I'm going out for a stroll, blowing some air."

Xu Lan just made up an excuse and was about to run away.

"Miss, are you going to the palace?"

The maidservant sighed lightly, and reminded: "Miss, you have been to the Prince's Mansion too frequently recently..."

Xu Lan pouted: "Is there any problem?"

The maid hesitated to speak, then shook her head lightly: "Master has something to look for you."

"not see!"

Hearing the maid mentioning her father, Xu Lan immediately snorted softly: "Tell me about my father, I'm going out for a stroll, if you need anything, don't look for me, go find Second Brother!"

After speaking, Xu Lan put oil on the soles of her feet and ran out of the yard in a hurry.

The maid didn't dare to stop her, she could only sigh when she saw this, and went back to report to the master.

"No reason!"

In the Xu Mansion, Xu Lan's father, Xu Xiupeng, slapped the table angrily after learning about this.

"Girls, who haven't left the cabinet yet, run outside all day, what's the point?!"

"Where is she? Didn't stop her?!"

The servant girl said cautiously: "Miss, the lady has already run out, the servant girl can't stop..."

"Humph!"

Xu Xiupeng snorted heavily, something appeared on that frowning face, and after a while, he waved his hands a little irritably.

"Go down first."

The maid leaves.

Xu Xiupeng thought for a moment, then glanced behind him: "How is the Lin family doing?"

Behind Xu Xiupeng, an unremarkable figure was hidden, and he lowered his head and said, "Everything in Prince Lin's mansion has been relatively peaceful recently. King Lin was invited to the north this time, and it will take some time before he can come back. There are cronies of King Lin sitting in the mansion. , there will be no trouble!"

Xu Xiupeng narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "Where's Lin Jiangnian?"

"Since the recent assassinations, Prince Lin's son has not been out of the palace recently, and has been staying in the palace. According to the rumors in the mansion, that Prince Lin's son is... practicing martial arts recently!"

"Practice martial arts?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Xu Xiupeng's face: "He wants to practice martial arts?"

Xu Lin's family is a family friend, so Lin Jiangnian can be regarded as the one he watched growing up, with his temperament and temper, can he endure hardships and practice martial arts?
After being stunned for a short while, he seemed to think of something again, and shook his head lightly: "Probably because the attacks and assassinations these few times made him feel dangerous. However, most likely he won't last long..."

He knew Lin Jiangnian the best, Princess Lin passed away early, Lin Jiangnian was pampered since he was a child, and he was truly a second-generation ancestor. How could he really practice martial arts diligently?
Mostly just a whim!
"My lord, the current situation in the court is turbulent and confusing. The emperor has been in seclusion for several years. There are rumors that His Majesty is seriously ill, and time is running out..."

The person behind said in a deep voice: "If the news is true, there may be turmoil in the court of the capital soon. In recent years, King Lin has been sitting in Linzhou, and he has become a thorn in the court's eyes..."

"Once this turmoil spreads to the territory of Linzhou, neither you nor I can survive alone... For the sake of the Xu family, the son and the young lady, the master must make a decision early."

Xu Xiupeng's eyes gradually lowered, his brows were tightly frowned, and the contemplation on Guozi's face did not fade away for a long time.

"My lord, it is the general trend for the court to cut down the vassals. Don't be indecisive... Even if Lin Hengzhong has outstanding ability, so what about the general talent? What kind of virtue is Lin Jiangnian, why don't you and I not know?"

"While King Lin is still alive, the mansion of Prince Lin may still be safe and sound. Once King Lin passes away, Lin Jiangnian will succeed. At that time, will he be able to keep the family business that King Lin laid down?"

"In the past few years, you have also persuaded Lin Wang several times to take a concubine and have a child, but Lin Wang ignored it. It is clear that you plan to pass on this huge royal family business to Lin Jiangnian...but how can Lin Jiangnian take this responsibility? Heavy duty?"

"Once King Lin passes away, the forces that have come to the palace for these years will collapse in an instant. By that time, it will be too late..."

……

Xu Lan walked briskly into the Linwang Mansion.

The Xu family is not far from the Lin family, just a few streets away.Xu Lan grew up in Linjiang City since she was a child, and with her close contacts with Prince Lin's Mansion, this Prince Lin's Mansion is even more familiar than hers.

Following the path that is so familiar, he walked through the pavilions and corridors, walked through the long courtyard, and came to the courtyard where Lin Jiangnian was located.

"Miss Xu?"

Outside the courtyard, there are maids guarding the door.When seeing Xu Lan, he bowed his head slightly and spoke respectfully.

Xu Lan nodded slightly, and glanced at the yard: "Where is your Highness?"

"Your Highness has just returned to the room, do you need a servant to report?"

"Don't bother, I'll find him myself!"

Xu Lan waved her hand, then walked briskly into the courtyard and came to the door under the eaves.

Habitually went to push the door, but did not move.

Ok?
locked the door?
Xu Lan immediately knocked on the door.

"Boom!"

"Lin Jiangnian, open the door!"

"..."

"My surname is Lin, I know you are in the room, open the door quickly!"

"..."

"Bang bang bang!"

"..."

inside the room.

Lin Jiangnian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and preparing to practice, was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

Xu Lan?

What is she doing again?
He wanted to pretend he wasn't there, but the knocking on the door intensified, as if he was about to kick the door and break in at any time.

Lin Jiangyoun sighed, got up from the ground and came to the door.

Open the door.

Outside the door, Xu Lan kept knocking on the door. Seeing Lin Jiangnian appearing at the door, he looked up and down suspiciously at Lin Jiangnian. Seeing nothing unusual, he couldn't help but glance into the room behind him.

Lin Jiangnian noticed her gaze: "What are you looking at?"

Xu Lan asked suspiciously: "You haven't opened the door for so long, what are you doing hiding in the room?!"

"Does this son need to report to you what he is doing in his room?"

Xu Lan was startled, as if... makes sense?

But then he seemed to think of something, and snorted softly: "There is no need to report, but you are so mysterious and sneaky...do you have some ulterior secret?"

As she said that, she broke into the room directly, and glanced around: "Are you hiding in the golden house?!"

After scanning the room and confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the room, Xu Lan felt relieved for some reason.

Turning around, she saw Lin Jiangnian standing at the door, staring at her.Xu Lan instinctively felt a little guilty, quickly covered it up, turned her head, and snorted softly: "Then what are you doing in the room?"

"sleep."

"What do you sleep in broad daylight?"

"Lunch break!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't bother to explain so much to her, so he glanced at her: "What are you doing here?"

"Come and see you!"

Xu Lan said it out of the mouth, but soon realized that something was wrong, and quickly added: "My lady, let's see how your martial arts is doing?"

"...Aren't you just being lazy these two days?"

Lin Jiangnian returned to the table, glanced at her, and said playfully, "This son is very gifted in martial arts, so why don't you just wait for this son to be his maid?"

"Hmph, you think it's beautiful!"

Hearing this, Xu Lan said unconvinced: "If you want to surpass this girl, you are still far behind!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her indifferently: "Is it difficult to surpass a rank nine?"

"you……"

Xu Lan's small face turned red with anger, and when she thought of something, she said angrily: "Hmph, don't be complacent, this girl will soon become a master of eighth rank, I see how you can surpass this girl?!"

"Bapin?" Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"of course!"

Xu Lan was a little smug, glanced at him with her small face up, and said proudly: "Do you think you are the only one who is working hard, and this girl hasn't made any progress?"

"This girl will be an eighth-rank master soon... Let alone three months, if you give you half a year, you may not be able to catch up with this girl!"

"Hmph, you're doomed!"

"Wait to be this girl's servant!"

"..."

Seeing the swollen expression of Miss Xu in front of me, those who didn't know thought she was about to step into the second and first ranks?
Can a little Bapin make her look like this?

Lin Jiangnian shook his head secretly, and did not continue to argue with her.

"Okay, then see the outcome in three months?"

"See you soon."

Xu Lan hummed lightly.

"Since it's all right, you can go back..."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand and began to rush people to see off the guests: "This son is going to start practicing hard."

Xu Lan: "..."

She just arrived, and before she had time to sit down and have a sip of tea, she started to drive her away again?
Miss Xu, who was belatedly aware of it, finally noticed something was wrong: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"What on purpose?"

"Deliberately making excuses to drive this girl away?"

"You think too much!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, then shook his head lightly: "I want to drive you away, do I need to be intentional?"

Xu Lan: "..."

So angry!

Very angry!
Why is this bastard's mouth so damaged?
Why do you owe so much?

"Humph!"

Xu Lan glared at Lin Jiangnian, sat down at the table next to him, and said angrily, "That girl won't leave!"

"Don't go?"

"That's right, I won't be leaving today!"

Miss Xu snorted heavily: "I'm here this afternoon, and I won't go anywhere... Not only won't I leave this afternoon, but I will also have dinner here at night!!"

She looked like she was about to confront Lin Jiangnian!
Lin Jiangnian thought for a while: "How about... why don't you go back tonight and just sleep here?"

"Sleep here?"

Xu Lan was startled for a moment, then his face turned red, and he gave him a shy look: "You, you think beautiful!"

"What beauty do I think?"

Lin Jiangnian was inexplicable: "Didn't you say that you want to waste time here? Why don't you go back, this palace has nothing but a lot of rooms, don't say you won't go back today, you can stay in this palace in the future!"

The palace is so big, are you afraid that she won't have a place to sleep?

Xu Lan: "..."

It took a while to realize what Lin Jiangnian meant. Immediately, he felt a little burning on his face, and turned around quickly. It took a while to recover.

Glancing at Lin Jiangnian: "Hmph!"

"You let this girl sleep here? This girl doesn't!"

"as long as you are happy."

Lin Jiangnian didn't bother to talk to her, this Miss Xu was just too idle.

How about finding something for her to do?

Tell her not to be annoying?

As soon as the idea came to mind, Lin Jiangnian suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, stared at Xu Lan in front of him, and then slowly relaxed.

Xu Lan was thinking about how to face off with this guy, but suddenly saw Lin Jiangnian staring at her with burning eyes.

There seemed to be a bit of hot light in the eyes.It seems... what kind of conspiracy is brewing?
"You, why are you looking at me like that?!"

Xu Lan was suddenly vigilant, and subconsciously put her hands on her chest... Is his look trying to plot against him?
For some reason, the first thing that came to Xu Lan's mind was what happened that day...

The blush on his face that had just faded gradually became hot again as he remembered what happened that day.She even vaguely felt an inexplicable strange feeling all over her body, and the familiarity made her feel inexplicably nervous and exciting.

"What's your reaction?"

Lin Jiangnian saw Xu Lan's vigilant expression and her actions...

"Don't cover it, there's nothing... What's there to cover?"

Xu Lan was startled, subconsciously looked down.

When she seemed to realize something, she fell silent.

This bastard, he, he dared to...

Xu Lan's pretty face flushed instantly, and she gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to explode, Lin Jiangnian waved her hand suddenly: "Forget it, let me tell you something serious!"

"Aren't you free right now? I need your help!"

"Help, help?"

Xu Lan, who was forcibly interrupted by Lin Jiangnian, was startled, wondering whether her ears had heard it wrong?

help?

Ask her for help?

But immediately, Xu Lan came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and snorted coldly, "No help!"

Bullied her, but still want her to help?
How can there be such a good thing?

"No help?"

"No help!"

"That's all right!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded, got up and walked towards the door: "I'll ask others for help."

Xu Lan was taken aback again, so he just gave up?

No, shouldn't you beg yourself and say something nice?
Why... Can't he even coax himself?

Ask someone for help, no attitude at all?

Xu Lan stomped her feet angrily, anxious and angry, seeing Lin Jiangnian leave the room, biting her red lips tightly, her embarrassment and anger flashed by.

"You, you stop!!"

"..."

Night falls.

Inside the Prince Lin's Mansion, it fell into silence again.

The huge Linwang Mansion is located in Linjiang City, huge and peaceful.Hidden in the darkness, several strange figures flashed from time to time, giving off a slightly depressing atmosphere.

A strange figure quietly appeared in Linwang's mansion, entered the small courtyard without anyone noticing, came to the door of the corridor, pushed the door open and walked into the room with ease.

The room is bright and quiet.

The woman in red who had just walked into the room seemed to have noticed something and sniffed slightly, a hint of doubt appeared on her cold and delicate face.

This breath...was wine?
A vague smell of alcohol filled the room, strong and exciting!

She looked up, and in the bright room, there was an exquisite square table in the center of the room. Lin Jiangnian was sitting at the table, looking down, not knowing what he was doing.

On the table in front of him, there were two wine jars.The smell of alcohol obviously came from there.

There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the woman in red, and she approached slowly.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't look up: "Research and learn some knowledge!"

"Knowledge?"

The woman in red was startled, and glanced at the wine on the table next to her: "Where did you get the wine?"

"Brewed."

"..."

"You still like to drink?"

As if he didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to have such a hobby, the woman in red sat down beside her and opened the wine jar next to her.

In the next second, the rich aroma of wine in the wine jar filled the air.

The intense stimulation made the eyes of the woman in red brighten, "This wine..."

She had never seen such a strong smell of alcohol before.Smelling it closely, the strong and stimulating smell of alcohol, the pores of the whole body seemed to bloom at this moment.

She poured a bowl of wine from the wine jug, brought it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, feeling the smell of alcohol that she had never smelled before, she immediately became much more energetic.

She pursed her red lips lightly, and the strong and stimulating smell of alcohol instantly swept through her whole body.

"Good wine!"

The eyes of the woman in red immediately lit up.

"what are you doing?!"

Lin Jiangnian raised his head and saw the woman in red holding a wine bowl, and realized something: "You stole my wine?!"

"Steal a drink?"

The woman in red blinked her beautiful eyes: "Aren't I drinking in an aboveboard manner?"

As he spoke, he took another sip, his deep eyes became brighter, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get this wine?"

"The secret recipe is not to be passed on!"

"Secret formula?"

The eyes of the woman in red froze for a moment, and then she showed a somewhat unbelievable expression, her eyes were slightly startled: "Don't tell me, you made this wine?"

"if not?"

Lin Jiangnian rolled his eyes.

The woman in red became more and more surprised: "Where did you learn it?"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while and said, "This is a way of making wine from my hometown..."

The two jars of wine on the table in front of him are the result of Lin Jiangnian's hard work today!

Lin Jiangnian was immediately moved when he learned in the Ruyi Building that Senior Li liked to drink alcohol and spirits.

spirits?

This is not difficult for Lin Jiangnian, the only difficulty is how to cover up his behavior.The imposing and ignorant son of Prince Lin suddenly knows how to make wine... This is obviously not right!
However, with the appearance of Xu Lan today, it has helped Lin Jiangnian a lot!

Xu Lan, an annoying person, came in handy at this time and became a qualified tool man!
With the help of Xu Lan's name, Lin Jiangnian quickly settled everything reasonably.After continuous exploration and improvement, these two altars of distilled wine were finally successfully produced.

In this era when winemaking technology was backward, the distilled wine produced by Lin Jiangnian was undoubtedly a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Doesn't senior Li like to drink strong alcohol?

Tomorrow, Lin Jiangnian plans to take these two altars of wine to teach Senior Li a good lesson!
The eyes of the woman in red were a little surprised, the secret recipe from home?

This guy... Where is he from?

While thinking, the woman in red was attracted by the strong wine in front of her again, and after a few gulps, a little more redness appeared on her fair and pretty face.

The already glamorous appearance became more and more attractive under the light at this moment, and the deep and cold eyes were slightly agile, and he glanced at Lin Jiangnian: "What are you doing?"

"I'm researching whether it's possible to purify and enhance the aroma of the wine to make it taste better..."

Brewing wine is not difficult, this technology has long been remembered in Lin Jiangnian's mind, but there is no way to grasp the details, so he can only keep trying.

I don't have enough time today, so I can only come back and study.After thinking about it, try again in two days to improve the taste of this spirit.

The woman in red nodded thoughtfully, and when she drank a bowl of wine, her face showed a bit of unfinished expression.Glancing at the wine on the table, then at Lin Jiangnian, he said, "Share this wine with me!"

Unexpectedly, after Lin Jiangnian raised his head and glanced at her, he shook his head without thinking.

"It doesn't matter!"
