Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 258

[Chapter 258 As long as the queen likes it]

fine. Li Baizhang and Lin Xiu have the same hobbies and aesthetics.

But he is not as thick-skinned as Lin Xiu.

As an outsider, Lin Xiu dared to ask Emperor Xia for a house, a marriage, and to spy to protect his sweetheart. As the son of Emperor Xia’s favorite concubine, he dared not even ask for such a small request.

Being thin-skinned, sometimes nothing can be done.

You have to fight for your own happiness. It’s embarrassing, and the opportunity was finally given to others.

Of course, there is also a reason. Li Baizhang and Emperor Xia still have the identity of father and son. Many times, it is difficult for father and son to communicate.

Lin Xiu is different. There is no barrier between the simple communication between the little sp and the old sp.

Lin Xiu’s advice to Li Baizhang is to confess to Chen Peipei.

If Chen Peipei accepts his identity and is willing to be with Qin Wang Li Baizhang, things will be much simpler. He only needs to let Concubine Shu talk to Emperor Xia in a pillow talk, and it will be a matter of him issuing an imperial edict.

In terms of favor, who in the harem can compare with Concubine Shu?

As a former brother in distress, Lin Xiu has escaped from the sea of suffering, and he can’t bear to watch him continue to struggle in the fire pit.

Li Baizhang followed Lin Xiu’s advice and went to Chen Peipei to confess. With his ability, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Lin Xiu can finally relax and do his own things.

In fact, compared with the marriage, the sentence in the imperial edict “all matters shall be undertaken by the Ministry of Rites” is more practical, and he doesn’t have to take care of many troublesome things.

While there are still a few days of free time, he plans to prepare the gifts for the imperial concubine first.

He has stood up the imperial concubine twice, and he can’t let her down for the third time.

In fact, after the renovation and reconstruction of the house, it is generally no different from the Murong Mansion, but the imperial concubine has left the Murong family for seventeen years. Lin Xiu doesn’t know what the Murong Mansion looked like seventeen years ago

. Fortunately, after he returned to the royal capital, he saw the paintings of the imperial concubine.

In her paintings, she painted the Murong Mansion seventeen years ago.

Fortunately, the Murong Mansion at that time was not much different from now. Just pay attention to some details. For example, the elm tree in her yard is now lush and leafy, but it was not so thick seventeen years ago.

The imperial concubine loves flowers. There is a small garden in her yard, which is no longer in the Murong Mansion now.

In addition, the location of several rockery has changed from seventeen years ago. If Lin Xiu had not seen the paintings of the imperial concubine, he might not have realized this.

A mansion somewhere in the south city.

Compared with the buildings in the royal capital, this mansion looks a bit different. The most conspicuous thing is the special black tiles and white walls, which form a sharp contrast with the surrounding blue brick and tile houses.

If you have been to Jiangnan, you will know that this is a typical Jiangnan garden style.

It is not difficult to guess that the person who bought this house should be from Jiangnan, and he missed his hometown very much, so he renovated the house in Kyoto to look like Jiangnan.

In the mansion, Lin Xiu just planted an elm tree.

He placed his right hand on the small tree, and the energy in his body surged out. The small tree, which was only half a person’s height, grew rapidly at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. After a while, it became lush and leafy, up to two feet tall, and the trunk became extremely thick.

Lin Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped back a few steps, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

For him who possessed the wood skill, although it was not difficult to promote the growth of trees, he could not let it grow freely, but it took him a lot of energy to grow into the appearance of the imperial concubine’s painting.

In the garden in the courtyard, Lin Xiu also filled it with flowers that the imperial concubine liked.

And because of the soil skill, changing the terrain in a small area and making the terrain in the back garden the same as that of the Murong Mansion in Jiangnan was also a matter of thought for Lin Xiu.

These abilities were not used when competing with others, but now it saved him a lot of trouble.

However, no matter how Lin Xiu used his abilities and how he made it look old, he could only imitate the rockery in the back garden. There was still some obvious difference in shape.

He is a perfectionist and always feels that there are some flaws.

These flaws may reduce the joy of the imperial concubine receiving the gift.

Early in the morning, Jiangnan.

When Murong Yu’s grandfather passed a rockery in the back garden, he couldn’t help but stop and looked back.

This rockery has been in Murong Mansion for decades, and he has also seen it for decades. Today, he always felt that something was strange, as if something was not right.

But he couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong, it just felt different from before.

In the end, Murong Chong shook his head and put the matter behind him. When people get old, they are sometimes suspicious. Rocks are dead things. Can they become spirits and change themselves…

…

In the royal capital, Lin Xiu worked alone for three days before he finally finished the job.

Although he couldn’t be perfect in the details, he had done his best.

I hope the imperial concubine will like it.

When Lin Xiu arrived at her villa in the south city, the Imperial Concubine and Murong Yu were playing chess. Lin Xiu came over and said, “Your Majesty, the gift for you that I mentioned twice before is ready.”

Finally hearing the long-awaited news, the Imperial Concubine stopped playing chess and immediately stood up and said, “Where is it? Let me see what gift you have prepared for so long…”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “This gift cannot be taken out. Your Majesty needs to move over and come with me to see it.”

The Imperial Concubine was even more excited, and murmured, “It’s so mysterious, Xiao Yu’er, Shuangshuang Linglong, you and me should go and see it together.”

She planned to have someone prepare a car, but Lin Xiu said, “No need to prepare a car, it’s not far from here, we can just walk there.”

The South Street was lined with green trees and there were few people on the street. A few people walked on the South Street, and in just a cup of tea, they arrived at the mansion. The Imperial Concubine looked at the white walls and black tiles sandwiched between a piece of blue brick outer wall, and her expression was dazed for a moment.

I didn’t expect to see such a small Jiangnan building in the royal capital.

The owner of this house must have a deep affection for his hometown.

Lin Xiu walked to the door of the mansion, took out the key, and opened the gate.

The Imperial Concubine was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, “How do you have the key here?”

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, “I bought this place, and the gift for the Queen is inside.”

The Imperial Concubine stepped into the house with doubts, and her steps suddenly stopped, and she could no longer move out.

Murong Yu’s pretty face also showed shock and confusion. For a moment, she thought she was back in Murong Mansion.

She even looked back to make sure that this was the street in Kyoto, and then turned around and looked at everything blankly.

Kyoto, there is another Murong Mansion?

Although there are some subtle differences from the Murong Mansion she is familiar with, there is no doubt that this place is built completely according to Murong Mansion.

For Murong Yu, this place is different from Murong Mansion.

But not for the Imperial Concubine.

When she left Murong Mansion, Murong Mansion was like this, and it had not changed at all from seventeen years ago.

Everything was the same as it was seventeen years ago, the same rockery pavilions, the same pavilions and waterside pavilions, and even the direction of the branches of the elm tree in her yard was exactly the same as she remembered. A swing hung from a horizontal branch, and she seemed to see a bright girl, humming a Jiangnan tune, sitting on the swing and swinging…

Time seemed to go back at this moment, and a tear slid down her face that had not been carved by time.

After more than ten years, she finally returned home.

She walked slowly into the yard, gently stroking every blade of grass, every flower and every stone, with indescribable feelings in her heart.

Murong Yu turned to look at Lin Xiu, feeling extremely incredible. How did he do it?

Could it be that he had been to Murong Mansion before? But she had lived in Murong Mansion for more than ten years, and she couldn’t be so familiar with her own home that she could build an identical mansion in the capital.

This not only requires extraordinary memory, but also takes a lot of thought. She felt a headache just thinking about it.

There was actually someone who would rebuild a Murong Mansion in Kyoto just to make her aunt happy. As a woman, Murong Yu couldn’t help but be moved.

She looked at Lin Xiu and asked in confusion, “Have you been to my house?”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I’ve been there twice. There is also a painting in the Queen’s studio, which depicts the Murong Mansion.”

Murong Yu asked, “But why haven’t I seen you?”

Lin Xiu said, “I went when no one was at the Murong Mansion.”

Murong Yu glanced at Lin Xiu. He came without an invitation, which meant that he sneaked in. He sneaked into the Murong Mansion just to get familiar with the layout and arrangement of the Murong Mansion, in order to rebuild one in the capital?

He was too good to his aunt.

His aunt was also very close to him.

Even though he had no relationship with her, he was willing to give her the precious Yuanjing. It should be because he loved the house and the people in it.

After a long time, after walking through the entire house, the imperial concubine returned to Lin Xiu, looked at him, and asked softly, “How did you do it?”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “I went to Murong Mansion and wrote down the layout of each room. I came back and drew a blueprint and had someone build a replica.”

The imperial concubine said, “But this tree, this rockery…”

It is not difficult to build a house according to the layout of Murong Mansion, but how could the trees and rockery be exactly the same as she remembered.

Especially the rockery, which is exactly the same as the one in Murong Mansion, even the name she carved with a knife in the hidden part of the rockery when she was naughty as a child is exactly the same.

Lin Xiu explained, “The Imperial Concubine has been away from home for a long time. The current Murong Mansion is not the same as before. I have seen the Empress’s paintings, so I found a magician of wood magic and asked him to give birth to a tree like the previous one. This rockery was also built by a magician of stone magic according to the rockery of Murong Mansion…”

Murong Yu only then knew that he had spent so much time to build the Murong Mansion seventeen years ago.

No wonder she felt that the details were different from the Murong Mansion, because this was the Murong Mansion seventeen years ago. At that time, she was still babbling, and he even considered that the tree would grow up…

The Imperial Concubine’s heart was complicated and she whispered, “You must have spent a lot of thought on this gift, right?”

No wonder his gift took so long to prepare. She felt Lin Xiu’s carefulness from every detail here.

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “As long as the queen likes it.”

The little palace maid Linglong held Shuangshuang with one hand and wiped her tears with the other. She missed home too. If someone was so kind and caring to her, she would be willing to marry him…

Although Shuangshuang was also very touched, she was also worried in her heart. She was studying heart disease recently, so she knew very well that sometimes, being too nice to someone was not a good thing…
