Xia Lin also couldn't figure out why Huizi was usually soft-spoken, but she called her like that at that time.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders in the tower. Although the bottom three floors sometimes receive some visitors, in fact, very few outsiders can enter the Daming Mansion, even for servants like Jiutianmaru, there are actually very few Will not come to the tower, but wait in the meeting hall of the Daimyofuwaifu.

So even the guards in the tower are members of the harem group formed by Xuezi. Everyone has long been familiar with Keiko, but she is the only one who cares very much.

Chapter 31

"Let's build the sedan chair with mahogany, how about eight people carrying it?" Xuezi sat in front of the desk and said distressedly, "Even if the old thing Mu Chan goes there instead of Master Xia Lin, what everyone sees is still Master Xia Lin's face, The ostentation can’t be too small.”

"The accompanying retainers should let Jiu Tianmaru go too. After all, he was originally the leader of the bandits in Kuri. Now that he surrenders, others will feel the might of an adult when they see him, but he can't do it alone."

"There are also gifts..."

"That..." Keiko, who was sitting on the side looking at the music score, heard Xuezi's distress, and asked in a low voice, "Master Xuezi, aren't you going?"

She called Xuezi an adult, not only because Xuezi was a high-ranking and powerful leader at this time, and she was the leader of the survey, but more importantly, to express the respect and gratitude that Xuezi saved her from the sea of ​​suffering.

If it weren't for Xuezi, even if she didn't become You Guo's wandering girl at this time, she would be very miserable when she thinks about it.

But Xuezi prefers her to call herself elder sister.Sisters are not distinguished by age, but by status in the harem.

"I?"

After hearing Keiko's question, Xuezi became more distressed.

"I don't want to waste time going to the Capital of Flowers to meet a sick old man." Xuezi sighed.

"However, no one else has such a demeanor like Master Xuezi. I heard that people in the city call you Shuanghua's Bingxue Princess." Huizi smiled softly, with some admiration in his eyes.

Xuezi, who first followed Xia Lin, is now extraordinary. No one in the Martial Arts House can catch up with her. Coupled with such a great reputation, she feels like a legendary figure.

"I heard that this name has already spread to the capital of flowers."

"Already spread to the capital of flowers?"

"Well, I heard Master Xia Lin say that 'Xuezi's reputation has already spread to the capital of flowers, no, it should be said to be a beautiful name, Shuanghua's Bingxue Princess'." Huizi said, While imitating Xia Lin's expression and tone of voice.

Xuezi's pretty face suddenly collapsed, her mouth pouted, and she was lying on the table like a dead fish.

"It's disgusting. If I don't go to the capital of flowers like this, maybe the old bastard Kozuki Sukiyaki will think that Lord Xia Lin doesn't pay enough attention to this matter. I can't do it if I don't go..."

Keiko laughed lightly, who would have thought that Xuezi, who was as icy as frost and snow outside, would actually show such a gesture in the Daming Mansion?

After all, Xuezi was only a teenager.

"Master Xuezi, if you go to the Capital of Flowers, maybe all the men in the city will come to see you."

"Hmph, if those people dare to look at me with obscene eyes, I'll dig out their eyeballs!" Xuezi exclaimed angrily.But she was just joking, and it was impossible to do this kind of thing.

"If you really don't want to go so much, you might as well use business as an excuse." Keiko helped out with an idea.

"Forget it, I'd better go there, it just so happens that there are not many people who can support the scene." Xuezi shook her head.

It's not that there are no people in Jiuli, but too many people have not been cultivated. Many people come from other villages, but these people can only be said to be middle-class, and they are still a little bit worse when they are used as cards.

"Keiko, I will leave Jiuli when the time comes, and I will entrust you to take care of the things that have been agreed upon."

"Eh? Me! I can't do it, right?" Keiko panicked all of a sudden, like a young child at home who is about to face all the pressures of life at once, becoming fearful and nervous, subconsciously, even holding the book Clenched hands.

But in reality, Keiko was several years older than Yukiko.

Xuezi is only 17 years old this year, while Keiko is 21 this year.But Keiko's personality is much softer, and she is not as confident as Xuezi.

She felt as if she was a girl from Rabbit Don who couldn't even eat a meal yesterday. If she was lucky, she could become a wandering girl and at least survive starvation. If she was less lucky, she might become a beggar on the street.Why is she suddenly asked to manage the finances of the entire Jiuli?

Keiko is actually very smart. She started to learn to read and write after arriving in Daming Mansion. She cherishes this opportunity so much that she is still reading during her break time.Sometimes when she served Xia Lin, she would read some documents along with her. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she learned quickly, and sometimes she could help Xia Lin with some ideas.

"Don't worry, it's not difficult for you." Xuezi said, "Basically, the people below will take care of everything. If there are no accidents, you just need to check whether the data they submitted is correct. "

In fact, this job is a bit like an accountant. In fact, in terms of teaching arithmetic, Xia Lin did list accounting as one of the compulsory subjects in the assignment.

"If you can't decide on other large-scale appropriations, you can ask Master Xia Lin for instructions." Xuezi said while spreading out the documents on the case, and then moved some vacant seats to one side of the table for Keiko to sit on. around.

"It just so happens that I have to deal with the matter of going to the Capital of Flowers, so I will teach you now."

"Well, good!" Keiko nodded vigorously as if she had made up her mind.

"Look, here is the cost of the ceremonies and ceremonial guards submitted by the society... It doesn't matter if the expenses related to Mr. Xia Lin are slightly higher."

The social practice is the management of etiquette, folklore and culture among the three rituals. Generally speaking, except for some festivals, it is allocated for education, but this time they are also responsible for the preparations for the ceremonial guard in the capital of flowers.

Xuezi nodded while talking about Keiko, these things are indeed not difficult, after all, in Jiuli, where there is almost no greed, many bills are clearly displayed in front of her eyes.

After a while, Xuezi cursed at a document again angrily:

"That bastard Jiutianmaru wants to increase military spending again!"

"Can't we increase the expenses for the practice of Tianling?" Keiko asked doubtfully.

"That's not true. Tianling pursues to be satisfied as long as it starts reasonably, but what did this guy present? Drinking fee, I really want to open his brain to see if it's full of wine!" Xuezi Very angry.

Keiko smiled happily.

After Xuezi slowed down, she picked up other documents.

"It doesn't matter if you don't care about the document display of this type of construction." Xuezi showed the document to her.

"Building a reservoir?"

"Well, in order to prevent floods and droughts, it is important to build water conservancy projects."

"Since it's very important, why not approve it immediately?" Keiko asked puzzled.

"Keiko, the construction of a reservoir will consume a lot of financial and material resources, and it will take a long time to determine whether a place is suitable for building a reservoir and how to build it. So these documents are temporarily put aside here. It's fine. When the results of the survey are handed over, the adults will personally decide whether to build it or not."

"So it is."

Chapter 32 Returning Black Charcoal Cicada

"By the way, Keiko, who is on duty today?" Xuezi asked suddenly.

"Today? It seems to be Miss Baihezi and her daughter Jasmine." Keiko thought for a while, and then shyly said, "Sister Baihezi is really good-looking, and she has a lot of weight."

"It's them, that girl Jasmine is too noisy." Xuezi shook her head and said.

"Lord Xia Lin dotes on her too much."

"No! The people on duty these days have all been postponed. If I go to the Capital of Flowers, I don't know how many days it will take to come back!" Xuezi stood up abruptly, almost knocking the desk to the ground, " Master Xia Lin is mine these days!"

After saying that, Xuezi rushed out of the room barefoot.

"But what about these documents?" Keiko asked hastily.

"give it to you!"

Xuezi's voice came from afar.In just an instant, she had already run a long way.Keiko could only sigh, and slowly sat down in front of the desk, burying her head in helping to process the documents.

On the other side, Xia Lin is currently on the training ground.

In the Daming Mansion, there is a dojo dedicated to practicing martial arts, and this is also a place where he often stays.

Today, Yuriko and Jasmine are on duty. Yuriko is 32 years old this year. She was originally a lady of Suzugo's family, but she seems to have provoked some powerful people, and like Keiko, her family was ruined.Originally, she and her daughter Jasmine were going to be sold into Youguo, but they were bought by Xuezi.

Due to her original status, besides serving Xia Lin at the mansion, Baihezi also teaches some tea ceremony and ikebana skills, so she can be regarded as Keiko's teacher.

Her daughter Jasmine chose to study martial arts.

At this time, Xia Lin was swinging tens of tons of steel with his shirtless arms, sweat dripping down like crazy.

His training method is following Solo, and it is also the simplest weight-bearing exercise.Beside him, Jasmine, who is only 16 years old this year, is also constantly swinging a knife.Sweat drenched her skirts.

In the shade of the dojo, Yuriko looked at the two of them with a worried expression.

She wasn't worried about Xia Lin. She had known the strength of this man for a long time, and he might even be able to shake mountains.However, her daughter Jasmine has been pampered and pampered since she was a child, and even if she suffered some hardships after the accident, she would not be as hard as she is now.

However, this is also her own choice.

The previous changes made this young child understand that only strength is everything.

Jasmine's eyes were filled with admiration and longing as she watched Xia Lin swing the tens of tons of steel with ease.

If he had had such a powerful force as Lord Xia Lin back then, then all the tragedies would not have happened.Thinking of this, the movements of her hands became a little faster.

But her frail body soon couldn't bear it.

"Jasmine, it's time for you to rest for a while." Xia Lin didn't look sideways, but his knowledge and knowledge made him feel that Jasmine had reached her limit.

"Lord Xia Lin, I, I can still persist!" Jasmine's face was pale, her lips were dry, and the inside of her throat smelled like blood, as if it had been rubbed hard with sandpaper.

Her hands were already sore and weak, but she still wanted to lift them up.

"Be obedient, Jasmine, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too impatient." Xia Lin comforted him. He didn't dislike people who worked hard like Jasmine, but she was a little too desperate.

"Lily, take Jasmine to rest."

"Yes!" Yuriko was wearing a plain kimono, with her long black hair coiled up high, looking very dignified.

Wearing white socks on her feet, she walked to Jasmine's side quickly with small but hasty steps, and pulled her wrist.Jasmine still wanted to persevere, but her sore arm had no strength at all.

"Be obedient, Jasmine Sauce." Lily said softly, "Jasmine Sauce stinks all over, you will be hated by Lord Xia Lin."

Hearing this, Jasmine straightened her whole body and suddenly became gloomy.

Xia Lin smiled without saying a word, even if she was a beautiful girl, if she sweated a lot, it would still smell sour.

Jasmine was honestly dragged by Lily to take a bath.At this time, Xuezi rushed in quickly, but Xia Lin pulled the iron together.

Xuezi: ...

After finishing the exercise, Xia Lin took Xuezi, Jasmine and Baihezi to the hot spring together.Later, someone came to report that Heitan Muchan asked to see him.So Baihezi and Jasmine stayed in the hot spring, Xia Lin and Xuezi got dressed and walked towards the tall building.

"It's always weird to soak in hot springs in Jiuli, where the climate is hot." Xia Lin said on the road.In fact, the climate in Jiuli is not very hot, most of the time the temperature is around [-] degrees.But the hot springs are the most comfortable in winter.

"Let's make Linghou a hot spring town in the future." Xuezi suggested, holding Xia Lin's wrist.

The two talked while walking, and soon saw Heitan Muchan who had been waiting for a long time.

Heitan Muchan returned to Wano Country as soon as he got the news from Xia Lin.

The old witch tied two candles around her head, which made Xia Lin sometimes worry about whether her hair would be burnt because of this.

"Master Xia Lin! The Sleeping Ancient Town you are looking for is already being searched." Heitan Muchan hurriedly talked about it as soon as he saw Xia Lin, "But Sleeping Ancient Town may be a bit remote, I don't know what it is It's time to get the news."

"Mu Chan, aren't you dedicated to serving Lord Xia Lin?" Xuezi said coldly.

Although it is said that Xuezi was bought by Heitan's family, but the object of her service is Xia Lin, not Heitan Muchan, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of her.And because the Heitan family wanted revenge, Xuezi always felt that this matter delayed Xia Lin's progress.

Originally, Xia Lin should have become a general at this time, instead of being a mere daimyo in this Jiuli.

Because of this incident, Xuezi didn't have a good look at the members of the Heitan clan.

"Don't get excited about Xuezi, this matter is not very urgent." Xia Lin held her back, and then said, "It is also in my interest to let Heitan Orochi continue their plan. At least I don't need to fight with Kozuki Oden Let's do it."

"Thank you sir for tolerating the waywardness of our Heitan clan." Heitan Muchan burst into tears.

"Compared to this, let's deal with Kozuki first."

"I see." Heitan Muchan nodded, and then looked at Xia Lin, "Master Xia Lin, if the imitation fruit wants to take effect, it must first touch the face of the imitated object."

"En." Xia Lin nodded, of course he knew this.Although Mu Chan looks a little sorry for the audience, but for the sake of the plan, it's nothing to be touched by her.

Although it is okay to let her become beautiful first and then touch her, but it would be too rude.

Chapter 33 Phone Bugs and Phone Snails

After Heitan Muchan roughly completed the transformation, at first glance it seemed that there were really two identical Xia Lin standing in front of Xuezi.

"It's almost there. Although there are still some slight differences in temperament, it's hard for people who are close to them to notice this." Xia Lin looked at the other self in front of her and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Heitan Muchan also laughed twice, then quickly touched her own face with her left hand to restore her original appearance.

Heitan Muchan felt that it was disrespectful to show Xia Lin's face when it was not necessary.

"Master Xia Lin, in this way, I can fool Guangyue Sukiyaki." Mu Chan laughed.Anyway, Sukiyaki has never seen Xia Lin before, as long as they look the same, even if the difference in temperament is far away, they will not be seen through.

"Hmm." Xia Lin sat down and asked.

"Mu Chan, after transforming with the imitation fruit, can the ability of the transformed person be replicated?" Xia Lin has always been curious about this matter.

"This...it can't be done, Master Xia Lin." Heitan Muchan shook his head.

Although the imitation fruit can imitate others, it does not allow her to obtain the ability of the imitated object, at least before realizing the awakening.Maybe with her development, she can do more things, but Mu Chan doesn't have this time anymore.
