Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 252 Nian Duan and Xu Lin jointly study the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic?
After chatting for a while, Xu Lin left Zi Nu's residence.

Seeing that Nongyu had no intention of leaving, Xu Lin left Zi Nu's residence and went to the Hu residence instead of returning to the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.

……

the other side.

East Suburb Inn.

Han Fei was having tea with Zhang Liang.

"Brother Han, have you heard about the matter concerning the Fourth Young Master?"

Zhang Liang asked seriously.

Han Yu's affair with Bai Yifei could very well arouse suspicion from King Ying Zheng of Qin regarding him and Han Fei.

"Who in Xianyang doesn't know about this?"

Han Fei nodded, then immediately asked a question in return.

"Brother Han, do you think the King of Qin might be worried about this...?"

Zhang Liang's eyes showed worry.

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

It wasn't Han Fei who interrupted him, but the knocking on the door.

dong dong dong.

Zhao Gao knocked on the wooden door.

Seeing that no one answered, he pushed open the wooden door.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Zhang."

"Your Majesty invites you in!"

Zhao Gao said very politely.

Han Fei and Zhang Liang were both taken aback upon hearing this, and then went to Zhangtai Palace with Zhao Gao.

Before long, Han Fei and Zhang Liang arrived in front of Ying Zheng.

Zhangtai Palace was as black as ink, like an abyss.

The Qin soldiers in black armor stood in the corner, resembling long spears.

Upon seeing Han Fei and Zhang Liang, Ying Zheng was overjoyed and dismissed his attendants.

Then he raised his hand to gesture for Han Fei and Zhang Liang to sit down and talk.

This surprised both Han Fei and Zhang Liang.

They thought Ying Zheng was there to punish them.

After chatting for a while, Ying Zheng promoted Han Fei to the position of Minister of Justice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Han Fei clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Zhang Liang beside him.

"The Imperial Advisor once said, 'Zifang, you have the talent to be a king's advisor.'"

"In that case, you shall stay and serve as a councilor."

Ying Zheng said as he thought.

The rank of Yilang was equivalent to 600 shi, the same as Zhonglang, but higher than Shilang and Langzhong.

The position of Yilang is to provide advice and response, without the need for rotating shifts, and involves tasks such as guarding the gates.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Liang bowed and expressed his gratitude.

……

After a cup of tea.

Ying Zheng rewarded Han Fei and Zhang Liang with a mansion each.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Han Fei and Zhang Liang shared the same path.

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand, then dismissed them.

"Your Majesty is truly generous."

After leaving the Qin Palace, Zhang Liang sighed with emotion.

Ying Zheng not only disregarded past grievances and did not investigate their connection with the Han Yu Bai Yifei case, but also promoted them and rewarded them with mansions, which he never expected!
"No wonder Wei and Han were destroyed one after another."

"When one's conduct is upright, one's orders will be followed without being given."

"With the King of Qin like this, how can the Qin state possibly decline?"

Han Fei nodded.

"This matter should also be related to Mr. Xu."

"If it weren't for Mr. Xu's recommendation, would His Majesty have treated us so well?"

Zhang Liang analyzed.

Han Fei nodded in agreement.

……

The next day.

After lunch break, Xu Lin went to Nian's residence.

Nian Duan was writing a prescription in his study at that moment.

When the young girl Duanmu Rong looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Lin, her eyebrows lit up with joy, and she immediately invited Xu Lin to the study.

"Haven't seen you for months, have you missed me?"

Xu Lin gently stroked Duanmu Rong's silky hair and asked.

Duanmu Rong grew up very quickly. In just one year, she had not only grown taller, but her breasts were no longer just small and delicate.

Duanmu Rong nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled, told Duanmu Rong to stand next to the door frame, and then used his sword to carve Duanmu Rong's current height onto the door frame.

Upon witnessing this scene, the simply dressed Nian Duan hesitated to speak.

Duanmu Rong and Xu Lin chatted and laughed, appearing as if they were both siblings and husband and wife.

"Mr. Nianduan."

"long time no see!"

"How have you been?"

After finishing the carving, Xu Lin walked towards Nian Duan and asked gently.

"Thanks to you, sir."

"Everything is fine."

Nian Duan answered.

Then he picked up the teapot.

Seeing that there wasn't much tea left in the teapot, she gave Duanmu Rong a wink. Duanmu Rong, receiving the signal, immediately went to brew more tea.

"The property returns to its original owner."

After Duanmu Rong walked away, Xu Lin took out a silver needle from his pocket and handed it to Nian Duan.

"Sir, you should keep this for yourself."

“The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them.”

“Sir, you need it more than I do.”

He straightened his face and said.

After speaking, she poured Xu Lin a bowl of tea, and then tied up her naturally falling hair that had been hanging over her shoulders.

"it is good."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then he sat cross-legged opposite Nian Duan.

After chatting for a while, he changed the subject to Han Fei's illness.

"Is there a cure for Han Fei's illness?"

Xu Lin asked.

"There are ways to alleviate this."

"Whether it can be cured completely is still hard to say."

Read Duandao.

She sat very upright, her breath as fragrant as orchids, like a jade bottle.

"Didn't Han Fei come to Xianyang not long ago?"

"It would be best to have him come over."

Nian Duan continued.

Xu Lin nodded and wrote a letter to Han Fei.

There's no time like the present; this kind of thing can't be delayed!
After the messenger had gone far away, Nian Duan suddenly couldn't help but cough.

Nian Duan coughed very badly, it didn't seem like he choked on water.

Seeing Nian Duan's face gradually turn pale from coughing, Xu Lin frowned deeply.

"Is your master alright?"

After a few breaths, Xu Lin looked at Duanmu Rong and asked.

"A bit..."

Duanmu Rong hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Speak your mind!

Xu Lin said seriously.

"Master fell ill due to overwork."

“In the past year, I have often tried to persuade my master, but he won’t listen.”

Duanmu Rong told him the truth.

"Rong'er!"

Nian Duan covered her heaving chest and raised her voice.

"it is good."

"I see."

"You go and rest first."

Xu Lin patted the girl Duanmu Rong's shoulder gently.

After saying that, he turned to look at Nian Duan.

After Duanmu Rong walked away, Xu Lin placed his hand on Nian Duanhao's wrist.

Although he is not a doctor, he can diagnose pulse.

"I am fine."

"Don't listen to Rong'er's nonsense."

Seeing Xu Lin's solemn expression, Nian Duan forced a smile.

Then he pulled his hand back.

"Hurry is not enough."

Why do you have to do this?

After confirming that Nian Duan's illness was caused by overwork, Xu Lin asked in bewilderment.

“Practice makes perfect.”

"Changing things isn't that easy."

Nian Duan gently gathered her hair and said.

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the weak tea.

"Rong'er is still young."

"What will happen to Rong'er if you suddenly leave?"

Xu Lin asked in a deep voice.

Why doesn't Nian Duan know how to cherish his body?

He told Nian Duan not to overwork herself, but why doesn't she listen?
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of human life."

"If I am not here, you are still here, sir."

"Rong'er has always regarded you as her brother, and believes..."

Read Duandao.

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

"I am the Grand Preceptor of the Qin Dynasty, and my residence is filled with beauties."

"Where would I find the time to worry about Rong'er?"

"And what if Cherry gets sick if you're not here?"

Xu Lin frowned.

After speaking, he took out a book from his storage space and handed it to Nian Duan.

The book is called "Huangdi Neijing".

This book was a reward from the system last night, and he has only read half of it.

The book describes many methods of Yin and Yang integration and includes numerous illustrations.

Cultivating according to the methods in the book can not only improve the cultivation level of both parties, but also prolong life.

"The methods in this book can prolong life and enhance one's cultivation."

"I wonder if Mr. Nian Duan would be willing to practice this method with me?"

Xu Lin asked with a serious expression.

He was not lusting after Nian Duan's body; he wanted to prolong Nian Duan's life!
