Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 276

[Chapter 276 Dayou’s Methods]

Looking at Qianye Lin who was being humble and almost begging, Lin Xiu could only nod and say, “Okay.”

It was not that he was superstitious, but when she looked at him like that, Lin Xiu could not say no.

He had agreed with Qin Wan to play Go with her tonight, in which whoever lost a round would take off a piece of clothing. It seemed that he would have to wait until tomorrow night.

Qianye Lin took the initiative to make the bed, and then filled a basin with hot water and placed it in front of the bed. Lin Xiu looked at her and murmured, “This is…”

Qianye Lin explained, “In Fuso, on the wedding night, the wife has to wash the husband’s feet, which means washing away all bad luck and moving towards a new life.”

Lin Xiu admitted that he was overthinking.

He thought it was…

There are quite a lot of rules for marriage in Fusang, full of rituals, and everything has various meanings, but he is not used to asking others to help wash his feet. Lin Xiu said, “I’ll do it myself.”

Qianye Lin insisted, “No, the wife must help her husband wash.”

After knowing Qianye Lin for a long time, Lin Xiu gradually discovered that she looked petite and cute, obedient and sensible, but she was really stubborn. As long as she was determined, no matter what Lin Xiu said, she could not change it.

He had to take off his shoes and socks and soak his feet in hot water.

Qianye Lin moved a small stool and put his hand into the wooden basin. His expression was serious and focused. Lin Xiu looked at her and couldn’t help feeling a little pity in his heart.

With her talent, no matter which country in the five dynasties she was born in, she should be the focus of everyone’s attention. If her talent was a little worse, relying on the status of the Qianye family, she should be able to live a carefree life in Fusang, not like now, unable to return home.

After she washed Lin Xiu’s feet, she wiped them with a clean cloth. Lin Xiu was a little confused and asked, “Why is it that the wife helps her husband wash his feet in Fusang’s custom? Logically, two people are moving towards a new life together, so both of them should wash their feet…”

Qianye Lin was startled when he heard this, then his face turned slightly red, and he said, “Originally, there was, but I know that Daxia men cannot do this kind of thing for their wives, so I don’t need it…”

Daxia is the Celestial Empire, one of the five dynasties, and the top three countries in the mainland. The people and citizens have always been proud of it. Men are even more arrogant and face-saving. Washing your wife’s feet or something will be ridiculed if it is spread out.

Lin Jiang is really a gentle and considerate person. She always considers her position and would rather she suffer more grievances.

Unlike some people.

Lin Xiu wanted to turn his head, but found that he still couldn’t turn around.

He had to stand up, pour out the water in the wooden basin, and bring back a basin of hot water.

Qianye Lin said quickly: “No, I can do it myself…”

Lin Xiu pushed her to sit down on the stool, helped her take off her shoes and socks, put her feet in the wooden basin, and said: “Since it is a Fuso custom, you should finish it all, otherwise you will wash it in vain?”

Qianye Lin’s face turned redder, but she did not resist anymore.

In fact, she had imagined such a scene countless times in her heart, and it finally came true today, although it was just a fake marriage…

Lin Xiu reached into the basin and held her feet.

Qianye Lin has a petite figure and a pair of small jade feet, white as jade, and her round and small toes are immersed in hot water, pink and cute. If…

Qianye Lin saw Lin Xiu holding her feet in a daze, her face was already flushed, and her hands were twisted together, not knowing where to put them.

Lin Xiu thought for a moment and immediately threw some thoughts out of his mind. How could he have such sinful thoughts in such a sacred and solemn occasion? Then, he completed the ceremony with a pious heart, poured water, and when he returned to the room, he asked, “It’s getting late, shall we rest?”

Qianye Lin lowered his head and said “hmm” softly.

So, the red candles in the room were quickly extinguished, and the two of them slept in their clothes under the red brocade wedding quilt.

…

After returning from Fusang, life returned to its previous calm.

A month passed in a flash.

In this month, Qianye Lin has completely integrated into the new life, because she, Qin Wan, Ning’er, Lingyin and Princess Minghe will participate in the competition in a few months. In addition to occasionally going out shopping together, they practice at home. With

so many geniuses gathered together, the role of mutual promotion is obvious.

As long as one of them is practicing, the others will feel embarrassed to be lazy, especially Ning’er, Lingyin, and Princess Minghe. Their strengths are not much different, and everyone wants to achieve better results in the competition.

It snowed in the capital yesterday. The first snow of this year came a little early. After getting up in the morning, the women couldn’t wait to go to the back garden to enjoy the snow. It had become a world covered in silver. After lunch

, Zhu Jin came to find Lin Xiu, and Lin Xiu went into the palace with him.

When he came to the imperial study, Lin Xiu found that the dean of the Academy of Extraordinary Arts and the dean of the Academy of Martial Arts were also there. Emperor Xia slammed a letter on the table and cursed: “Shameless, the most shameless!” The

dean of the Academy of Extraordinary Arts was fine, but Vice Dean Chen of the Academy of Martial Arts had an angry look on his face.

Lin Xiu stepped forward and asked, “Your Majesty, what happened?”

Emperor Xia handed the letter to Lin Xiu and said, “Take a look.”

Lin Xiu flipped open the letter and took a look, and soon understood the reason.

The rules of the next competition will be changed.

Dayou, Dalu, and Daying, these three countries, joined dozens of Western countries, and through the alliance of countries, passed a resolution and passed a rule change for the competition.

Starting from the next competition, all contestants will use wooden weapons.

They proposed this resolution in the name of protecting geniuses from various countries.

The reason given by Dayou and other countries is that weapons are too powerful in the hands of warriors, and the bodies of magicians are relatively fragile. During the competition, it is easy to suffer irreparable damage.

It is not the intention of the competition to hurt geniuses from various countries.

In order to protect the geniuses participating in the competition, they advocated the abolition of the use of weapons or the use of wooden weapons.

Protecting geniuses from various countries is one of the reasons, and another reason is fairness, because magicians usually go into battle empty-handed, while warriors can carry weapons. Dayou and other countries feel that this is unfair to magicians.

Once this opinion was put forward, it won the support of Western countries.

In the competition, the number of magicians far outnumbered the warriors. Martial arts originated in Daxia. Daxia and the surrounding countries influenced by Daxia, such as Fusang, Wuji, Nanyue, Beimang, etc., were full of martial arts and had many martial arts masters. In the western countries, there were very few people who practiced martial arts. The martial arts

masters from the eastern countries once caused a great psychological shadow to the western magicians in the competition.

This reform was just what they wanted.

As we all know, steel is easier to carry true qi. Without weapons or wooden weapons, the strength of the warriors would be greatly reduced, and naturally they would not be able to achieve better results. No wonder the vice president of the martial arts academy was so angry.

In this way, the diligent and hard training of many students in the martial arts academy would be meaningless. Who would be willing to practice martial arts in the future?

He snorted and said, “What do you mean by protecting the geniuses of other countries? In the competition, it is not what Dayu often does to abolish the geniuses of small countries who are not recruited by them. Do they have the face to blame the warriors?”

Lin Xiu had dealt with Dayu before, so he was not surprised by this.

The three geniuses from the Western Region, the Northern Mang, and the Southern Yue were assassinated by people around them bribed by Dayu. Although there are no witnesses or evidence, Dayu has not admitted it so far.

He also experienced Dayu’s shamelessness in the Five Nations Competition that just ended.

In order to win, they can do anything, just short of directly declaring themselves the first.

If the advantage is in them, they can maintain the previous rules.

If the advantage is in Daxia, then change the rules until the advantage continues to fall in their favor.

They have always been so double-standard.

This rule change seems to be aimed at warriors, but it is actually precisely aimed at him and Qianye Lin.

Although wooden weapons are also powerful in the hands of warriors, they are far from being comparable to real weapons. Dayu obviously wants to accurately abolish Lin Xiu’s ability to throw weapons from a distance.

As long as the fourth prince spreads the flames to his body, he will be invincible. When wood meets fire, it will burn at once, which is not as good as the ice spear.

For Qianye Lin, half of her strength is in the art of magic and half in martial arts.

The wooden sword has no way to carry all her true energy, so her strength naturally cannot be fully exerted.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and said in a deep voice: “Why change it now when you didn’t change it earlier or later? You know it’s targeting Da Xia, but there’s nothing you can do. They are so numerous and shameless. They suddenly changed the rules this time, which is obviously targeting you.”

Compared with the strange arts, Lin Xiu is famous for martial arts. The Fusang competition just ended. He fought one against three and won the final victory. It was hard for Dayu not to notice him. This is how they restrained him.

In the imperial study, Lin Xiu didn’t say anything.

On the surface, the battle in Fusang did give Dayu an opportunity to understand him. If he really only had this ability, the change in the rules would make him very uncomfortable, and to some extent, it would abolish part of his long-range output ability. To

be more precise, the change in the rules was for the fourth prince.

After all, Lin Xiu’s Yuanli was not as good as his. If he couldn’t rely on weapons to win and only fought with Yuanli, he would just have to hide in the sea of fire, and Lin Xiu couldn’t do anything to him.

But in fact, this is useless, because in order to maintain the protection, his energy consumption is much greater than Lin Xiu’s. It won’t be long before his energy is exhausted and he will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

But for Lin Jiang, this is very uncomfortable, and to a large extent, it will affect her ranking in the competition.

On the way back to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu passed by the new house.

Since they moved to the new house, this place has been empty.

At this time, on the steps at the door of the new house, a figure was sitting with her knees hugged.

She was wearing a black dress and a black muli on her head. Although her face was covered, Lin Xiu still recognized her at a glance.
