Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 165 Does Madam know how to ride a horse?

"That's it."

I went to my mother's place a few days ago.

"My mother wants me to leave Zilanxuan."

Nongyu said with a serious expression.

"She's afraid something might happen to you at Zilan Pavilion?"

Xu Lin nodded and asked.

"Correct."

My mother said, "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

"Especially after I told her about Liu Yi's trouble at Zilanxuan."

Nongyu nodded.

"What your mother said makes sense."

"Zilanxuan is, after all, a song and dance hall."

As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Xu Lin commented.

What are your thoughts on this?

Xu Lin asked.

“I…I don’t want to leave Zilan Pavilion.”

There are two main reasons.

"First, I'm used to living in Zilanxuan."

"Secondly, without Sister Zi Nu, I would not be alive today. Therefore, I want to stay in Zi Lan Xuan to help Sister Zi Nu."

Nongyu lowered her eyebrows slightly and answered while thinking.

She spoke the truth without hiding anything from Xu Lin!

“Miss Zi Nu has always treated you like a younger sister and has saved your life. You should not leave her now, both out of kindness and reason.”

"But what your mother said is not without reason."

Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly.

"Sir, you are a man of great knowledge and experience. I wonder what you think Nongyu should do?"

Nongyu asked.

She dared not hope for a perfect solution, but only hoped that Xu Zhengchun could give her some advice.

"Most things in the world cannot be perfect in every way."

"But you do have this matter."

Xu Lin stroked his very short beard.

Upon hearing this, the dignified and gentle Nongyu's beautiful eyes lit up.

Then he personally poured Xu Lin a bowl of boiled water.

"If you walk by the river often, you'll get your shoes wet."

"But you can wear a pair of waterproof shoes."

Xu Lin took the teacup and smiled broadly.

Waterproof shoes?

Nongyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Correct."

"If your cultivation is so high, why should you fear troublesome guests?"

Xu Lin said loudly.

Nongyu was taken aback upon hearing this, but then she suddenly understood.

In fact, she had wanted to learn martial arts several years ago, but Zi Nu was unwilling to teach her.

Learning martial arts is a very tiring thing. Nongyu suffered a lot when she was young. Zinu didn't want Nongyu to suffer too much, so she didn't teach her martial arts.

Therefore, even now, Nongyu has not yet reached the Innate Realm.

"Do you want to learn swordsmanship, fist techniques, or a knife...?"

Xu Lin looked at Nongyu, whose features were exquisite, and asked.

Before he could finish speaking, Nongyu interrupted him.

"I want to learn swordsmanship!"

Without hesitation, Nongyu replied.

"it is good."

"I teach you."

"From now on, you should spend one or two days each month visiting my residence."

Xu Lin said happily.

Upon hearing this, Nongyu's beautiful eyes trembled; she could hardly believe her ears.

Xu Zhengchun was actually willing to teach her swordsmanship?
Zi Nu once said that Xu Zhengchun's cultivation was far superior to hers.

Wei Zhuang once said that Xu Zhengchun's cultivation level was not necessarily lower than his!

After a few breaths, Nongyu lifted her skirt and asked to become Xu Lin's disciple, but Xu Lin refused.

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

"It's just a little effort."

Xu Lin helped Nongyu up and spoke.

"Thank you, sir!"

"I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Nongyu bowed deeply.

Then Xu Lin waited for her for a while, because she had something to give him.

Xu Lin frowned slightly upon seeing this.

I wonder what Nongyu is going to give him?
……

After a cup of tea.

Nongyu returned to Xu Lin carrying a piece of clothing. "What's this?"

Xu Lin looked puzzled.

"This is a winter coat."

"Sir, please try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, it can be altered."

"Nongyu said softly."

After speaking, she handed the clothes to Xu Lin with both hands.

"You did it?"

Xu Lin took the clothes, examining them as he asked questions.

"Correct."

"If it weren't for you, sir, I don't know when Nongyu would have been able to see her mother again."

"I have no way to repay your great kindness, so I made you a garment."

Nongyu nodded slightly.

Then they helped Xu Lin put on his cotton robe.

It's called a cotton robe, but it's actually more like a cloak.

The cloak is deep black, exquisitely crafted, and of exceptional quality.

"It fits perfectly."

After putting it on, Xu Lin looked at himself in the bronze mirror and smiled calmly.

Xu Lin was already handsome, but after wearing the cloak made by Nongyu herself, he became even more dashing!
"As long as it fits."

Nongyu murmured.

"It must have taken you quite a while to make this dress, right?"

Xu Lin looked at the graceful Nongyu and asked gently.

"Fortunately."

"Anyway, I don't usually have anything to do."

Nongyu shook her head repeatedly.

After chatting for a while, Xu Lin left Zilan Pavilion.

Watching Xu Lin's receding figure, Nongyu hummed the little tune he had just hummed and returned to her study.

What makes you so happy?

Seeing that Nongyu was in a very good mood, Zi Nu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"No."

Nongyu lowered her head and denied it.

"You've learned to lie to your older sister?"

Zi Nu smiled and pressed for more information.

"Nongyu dares not."

Nongyu quickly shook her head.

Then, dismissing everyone around her, she told Zi Nu that Xu Lin was going to teach her swordsmanship.

This matter cannot be kept from Zi Nu; she will find out sooner or later.

Nongyu was so happy because Xu Lin was teaching her swordsmanship, and she believed that it wouldn't be long before she could reach the Innate Realm, or even the Grandmaster Realm!

Then it won't be Sister Zi Nu protecting her anymore, but she protecting Sister Zi Nu and her mother!
Upon hearing this, the woman with her purple hair piled high frowned deeply.

Xu Zhengchun is going to teach Nongyu swordsmanship?
In Zi Nu's view, anyone who offers unsolicited kindness is either up to no good or a thief!

Xu Zhengchun is not a villain, but he wouldn't teach Nongyu the sword technique for no reason!
Because of Nongyu's mother, Madam Hu?
Or was it because Xu Zhengchun had taken a liking to Nongyu?

"You've already agreed to be with him?"

Thinking of this, Zi Nu asked seriously.

"kindness."

"Sister, isn't this a good thing?"

Nongyu nodded and then asked.

He didn't think Xu Zhengchun was a bad person. If Xu Zhengchun were a bad person, he would have let her reunite with her mother and then killed Liu Yi.
"Yes."

After a moment of contemplation, Zi Nu nodded.

Since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

Nongyu already owed Xu Zhengchun a favor—no, two favors. Back at Zilan Pavilion, if it weren't for Xu Zhengchun's help, things would have been very troublesome!

"This is a rare opportunity, you must study swordsmanship diligently!"

Zi Nu solemnly instructed.

"I will!"

Nongyu nodded vigorously.

Then I took out two pieces of clothing from the closet and started altering them.

Winter is just around the corner, and it won't be convenient to practice swordsmanship while wearing a skirt, so she's going to change her skirt into pants.

Seeing Nongyu's serious expression, Zi Nu hesitated to speak.

Nongyu was already grateful to and admired Xu Zhengchun. Now that she is learning swordsmanship from Xu Zhengchun, it will probably not be long before Nongyu becomes Xu Zhengchun's woman!

Actually, this isn't a bad thing. Xu Zhengchun is the son of the ruler of Qin. Nongyu being with him can be seen as providing a way out for Zilanxuan.

Although Zi Nu and Nong Yu are not related by blood, she has always treated Nong Yu as her own sister. As long as Nong Yu is happy, she is satisfied!
……

Three days later.

The night is getting darker.

Just as Madam Hu finished bathing and lay down on the soft couch, the paper window was pushed open.

The dignified and virtuous Madam Hu looked in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing Xu Lin, her eyebrows furrowed with joy.

She has been dreaming about Xu Lin every night lately.

"Does the lady know how to ride a horse?"

Xu Lin walked slowly to Madam Hu and asked gently.
