Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 147 Madam Hu feeds the tiger with her own body?
"do not know."

"I haven't thought about that."

The woman with cascading purple hair frowned slightly.

"It's not too late to think about it now."

Xu Lin smiled and said.

Then she had Yan Lingji, who was disguised as a man, bring over a pot of water.

After receiving a signal with her eyes, Yan Lingji dared not speak out in anger. She was impersonating Xu Lin's third brother, so how did she become a servant?

If she weren't outmatched by Xu Lin and owed him a favor, she would have given him a good lesson after Zi Nu and Nong Yu left!
"You go and rest first."

Xu Lin took the kettle and spoke.

"it is good."

Yan Lingji said reluctantly.

After she walked away, Xu Lin poured Zi Nu a bowl of tea.

"The state of Han was already the weakest of the six states in Shandong, and now it is also facing serious internal strife. So it is estimated that it will not be long before Han is destroyed by Qin or Chu!"

After a moment's thought, Zi Nu answered.

"Are you feeling sorry for South Korea?"

Are you Korean?

Seeing that Zi Nu was in low spirits, Xu Lin asked her in confusion.

"It's not really a pity, mainly because Zilanxuan is in Xinzheng."

Zi Nu shook her head.

Then he took a sip of tea and sat down diagonally opposite Xu Lin.

"I am not Korean."

Zi Nu placed her hand on the hem of her skirt and added.

The wind picked up late, making her skirt rustle loudly. If she didn't hold it down, Xu Lin would get a good look at her!
Even when pressed down with her hand, that glimpse of white skin was still faintly visible!

"The Qin state has already established its dominance, and the Chu state has a million armored soldiers. It is only a matter of time before the Han state is destroyed."

"A tree dies when moved, but a person thrives when moved."

"Zilanxuan doesn't necessarily have to be located in Xinzheng."

Xu Lin shook the teacup in his hand.

As far as he knew, Zi Nu had not yet joined Liu Sha. Having lived two lives, he did not want Zi Nu to join Liu Sha like in the original story!
Han Fei was talented, but the quicksand gang was doomed to fail!
Reform takes time. Even if Han Fei were the crown prince, Qin would give Han time to reform and strengthen itself.

"If I were to move Zilan Pavilion to the Qin Kingdom, would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

Zi Nu nodded, then smiled and asked.

"can."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Zi Nu was surprised to hear this, not expecting Xu Lin to agree so readily.

Could Xu Lin really have fallen for her?

After a moment of contemplation, Zi Nu shook her head. Whether Xu Lin took a liking to her or not, she had no interest in matters of romance for the time being!
"Which do you think is more important, choice or effort, Miss Zi Nu?"

Seeing that Nongyu and Madam Hu had not yet come out, Xu Lin casually asked.

"effort."

Zi Nu replied without hesitation.

She came from humble beginnings and didn't even have a surname. She achieved what she has today entirely through hard work!
Therefore, in her opinion, hard work is more important!
"No."

Xu Lin shook his head.

"Why?"

A look of confusion appeared in Zi Nu's beautiful eyes.

"Because many people work hard, but very few succeed."

Xu Lin answered.

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, she nodded in agreement.

There are many people who work as hard as her, but how many can open a brothel in Xinzheng like she did?

"Making the right choice can make all the difference."

"Making the wrong choice will lead to half the result with twice the effort."

"There is no turning back in life, so I hope Miss Zi will carefully consider whether to tie herself to South Korea!"

Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

"When did I ever say I wanted to be tied to South Korea?"

Zi Nu smiled, pursing her lips.

"Although you didn't say it, that's what you were thinking."

Xu Lindao.

"Could it be that you, sir, can read minds?"

Zi Nu asked with a light laugh.

Xu Lin smiled upon hearing this, but did not answer Zi Nu's question.

If Zi Nu didn't want to be associated with South Korea, would she have sighed for South Korea just now?

……

After half a stick of incense.

Seeing that Madam Hu showed no sign of leaving, Xu Lin abruptly stood up, walked straight to the study, and knocked on the wooden door.

"Madam, it's time to go."

Xu Lin reminded.

Although Liu Yi was not at the Left Sima's residence, Zhang Yang and others were.

If Madam Hu doesn't go back for a long time, something bad might happen!
"it is good!"

Madam Hu nodded.

Then she wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve and stood up, leaning on the soft couch.

"Yu'er." "You must be careful at Zilan Pavilion!"

Madam Hu gently instructed.

The fact that Nongyu was working as a zither player at Zilan Pavilion could not be kept secret, so Nongyu told Madam Hu about it from the beginning.

"I will!"

Nongyu nodded vigorously.

Then he left the study with Madam Hu.

"Thank you, sir!"

"I will never forget your kindness today, sir. I am willing to serve you..."

After leaving the study, Nongyu faced Xu Lin and knelt on one knee.

She was interrupted by Xu Lin just before she finished speaking.

"It doesn't have to be this way!"

"It's just a little effort."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then he helped Nongyu up.

"If you ever need my help, sir, I will do anything for you!"

Nongyu said with a serious expression.

"it is good!"

Xu Lin was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

Then he smiled and looked at Zi Nu.

Nongyu's gratitude is clearly something Zi Nu taught her!

"Speaking of repaying kindness, I have something to tell you."

Xu Lin said as he thought.

Then he and Nongyu walked to the corner.

"What are your instructions, sir?"

Nongyu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"That's it."

"The Qin state has already established its dominance, and it is only a matter of time before the Han state is destroyed."

"Although your sister Zi Nu is smart, she is sometimes easily swayed by her emotions."

"I don't want to see her get into trouble with South Korea."

"So, what would you do if someone invited you and your sister Zi Nu to serve South Korea?"

Xu Lin asked gently.

"I will firmly refuse!"

Nongyu answered without hesitation.

"well said!"

Xu Lin looked satisfied.

Then he patted Nongyu's shoulder a few times and walked with her toward Madam Hu.

"Whether it's the Left Sima Mansion or the Zilan Pavilion, it's inconvenient to meet."

"You can meet here again next time."

"We're all on the same side, no need to stand on ceremony!"

Xu Lin spoke up.

After he finished speaking, he told Nongyu and Zinu to go back first.

"gentlemen."

"I will never forget your kindness today."

"I would do anything for you, sir!"

After Nongyu walked away, Madam Hu bowed and expressed her gratitude.

"There's no need to rush to repay the favor."

Xu Lin waved his hand.

Then they helped Madam Hu up.

"It's getting late, you should go back too."

"It will be very troublesome if the butler or maid finds out you're not home!"

Xu Lin continued.

After saying that, he called Yan Lingji over.

Then, the task of escorting Madam Hu home was given to Yan Lingji.

"it is good!"

Yan Lingji said irritably.

Then they helped Madam Hu onto the horse.

Madam Hu was plump and dignified, a true lady of high society.

When they were almost at Zuo Sima's residence, Yan Lingji finally spoke her first words.

"What does the lady think of the gentleman?"

Yan Lingji slowed down and asked curiously.

When she left, Madam Hu's eyes were practically drooling as she looked at Xu Lin. She strongly suspected that Madam Hu wanted to offer herself to him!
"I can never repay your kindness."

"Without you, sir, I don't know when I would have been able to see Yu'er again."

"Therefore, I have a very good impression of you, sir."

Mrs. Hu said as she thought about it.

In her view, even a small act of kindness should be repaid with a great one, let alone the fact that Xu Lin allowed her to reunite with her daughter.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Xu Lin truly lives up to his reputation as a master of romance; she was utterly inferior to him!
