Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 277 How will Miss Zi Nu thank me?

"Correct."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then they began to teach Zi Nu and Nong Yu how to purify coarse salt.

……

A few hours later.

The sun is setting in the west.

Under Xu Lin's command, Zi Nu, Nong Yu, and others successfully produced fine salt.

The elegant and refined Nongyu poured it into her palm and then sipped it.

The fine salt tasted wonderful, instantly brightening Nongyu's beautiful eyes.

"It's getting late, sir. Why don't you have dinner before you leave?"

"Nongyu suggested softly."

After speaking, she tied up her beautiful hair that had been draped over her shoulders.

The new Zilan Pavilion doesn't require her to play the zither, so she rarely ties her hair up.

"can."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then he had Zi Nu hand him the several jars of fine salt that had just been made.

As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

"I wonder how Miss Zi Nu plans to thank me?"

After Nongyu walked away, Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"How would the Imperial Preceptor like me to express my gratitude?"

Zi Nu smiled and asked in return.

"I prefer to proceed step by step."

"I wonder if Miss Zi Nu's massage technique has improved?"

Xu Lin asked loudly.

Then someone was sent to deliver those jars of fine salt to Ganquan Palace, Hu Mansion, Mingzhu Mansion, and Zhangtai Palace.

The woman with the slender waist looked at the scene and hesitated to speak.

With so many beautiful women in Xu Lin's mansion and even more outside, isn't Xu Lin afraid of being drained of his body by women?
"A ruler is long, an inch is short."

"Taking a wife and taking concubines is exactly what I, the director, need."

Seeing the puzzled look in Zi Nu's eyes, Xu Lin smiled and explained.

After saying that, he casually lay down on Zi Nu's lap.

"You excel at devising ideas and making inventions."

"Where is your weakness?"

Zi Nu said sullenly.

This wasn't the first time Xu Lin had rested his head on her lap, so she didn't mind it too much.

The appearance of fine salt made Zi Nu admire Xu Lin even more!
What the book says is probably true; food cooked with fine salt definitely tastes better.

With fine salt for cooking and orchid wine, how could Xin Zilanxuan not have business?

"Madam, you may take a guess."

Xu Lin said with a mischievous grin.

Can't you be serious for once?

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's face flushed with coquettish anger.

Then he glared at Xu Lin and increased the force of his blows.

"???"

"My weakness is that I'm not good at drinking. What are you thinking, madam?"

Xu Lin feigned curiosity.

From his position, he could not see Zi Nu's face; the peaks seemed to gather, obscuring the sky and the sun!

"I……"

As soon as Zi Nu finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Nong Yu out of the corner of her eye.

Upon seeing Nongyu, Zinu immediately helped Xu Lin up, then pulled her skirt down slightly and coughed twice to indicate that nothing had happened.

Nongyu lowered her head to indicate that she was just passing by and hadn't seen anything.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and lay back down on Zi Nu's lap.

Zi Nu smells very nice!

……

After a stick of incense.

Xianyang, Ganquan Palace.

Zhao Ji, dressed in a red phoenix robe, received fine salt.

"Did Mr. Xu send this over?"

Zhao Ji opened the pottery jar, looking at it as she asked questions.

Hongzao nodded.

"At least he has a conscience!"

Zhao Ji puffed out her chest and gave a soft hum.

Then she handed the earthenware jar to Hongzao. "Empress Dowager."

"The person who came said that this thing is called fine salt, which is healthier than coarse salt."

"How about I use this salt to cook for you tonight?"

Red Dates asked respectfully.

"Tomorrow morning."

"I'm not hungry tonight."

Zhao Ji immediately refused.

She can't get any fatter. Xu Lin doesn't mind, but she does!

She wasn't as young as Yan Lingji, Yingge, and the others. If her figure wasn't as good as Li Ji and the others, would Xu Lin still come to Ganquan Palace in the future?
Xu Lin's success today is not due to being a kept man, but to his genuine talent and ability!

Even without her help as the Empress Dowager, Xu Lin was still able to become the Imperial Advisor!
If it weren't for her special relationship with Xu Lin, Xu Lin might have held a higher official position than he does now!

"it is good."

Hongzao nodded.

Then he began to gently comfort Zhao Ji.

It wasn't that she was flattering Zhao Ji, but rather that Zhao Ji was indeed not fat.

Just like Xu Lin said before, Zhao Ji is called plump!

Can someone who is about 1.65 meters tall and weighs about 110 pounds be considered fat?
"I know, but this can't go on any longer!"

"Didn't you say before that not eating after noon has many benefits?"

After listening, Zhao Ji said.

"Yes."

Seeing that Zhao Ji had made up her mind, Hongzao nodded slightly.

Then he accompanied Zhao Ji on a leisurely stroll around Ganquan Palace.

……

the other side.

Nianfu.

Nian Duan also received fine salt.

When the maid from Zilan Pavilion arrived, Nian Duan, dressed in a light gray dress, was writing a medical book in the study.

After the maid from Zilan Pavilion walked away, Nian Duan couldn't help but cough.

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Rong immediately stepped forward and poured Nian a bowl of boiled water.

"Master."

"It's time for you to rest."

Duanmu Rong gently advised.

"I know."

"I'll rest after I finish writing this."

Read the endpoint.

The reason she chose to stay up all night writing medical books again was because she was suffering from overwork. The last time Xu Lin transferred his internal energy to her, it could only delay the onset of her illness and did not cure the root cause.

Duanmu Rong was still young, and Nian Duan had many things he wanted to write but hadn't written yet. Therefore, Nian Duan wanted to write down everything he wanted to write before he passed away.

I cough whether I stay up late to write or not, so I might as well stay up late to write!
Nian Duan had treated and saved countless lives throughout his life, and he knew her condition well; she couldn't be cured simply by being cared for.

Relying on Xu Lin to transfer internal energy is not a long-term solution!

As for the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), taking an unconventional approach might be feasible, but she was almost ten years older than Xu Lin, and besides, that kind of thing...

Thinking of this, Nian Duan's cheeks flushed slightly, then he coughed twice, put down his brush, and took a sip of boiled water.

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic was not what she wanted!
Nian Duan only wanted to write more medical books before he passed away, both for the sake of the people and for Rong'er!
Nian Duan was not someone who feared death, which is why she ignored Rong'er's advice and stayed up all night writing.

"Master does not know how this thing is made."

"But if you use this instead of coarse salt in the future, it will surely prolong your life!"

After tasting the fine salt, he straightened his expression and said.

Duanmu Rong nodded in agreement, then took the earthenware jar containing the fine salt to the kitchen.

After Duanmu Rong walked away, Nian Duan looked towards the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Although Xu Lin is a womanizer, he also cares about the world. Entrusting Rong'er to Xu Lin is a good choice!

"Master."

"Didn't you promise Mr. that you wouldn't stay up all night writing books anymore?"

When Duanmu Rong returned to her study, she saw Nian Duan still writing medical books, and her beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

"you do not need to worry."

"Master knows what's going on."

Nian Duan forced a smile and comforted her.

After saying that, she told Duanmu Rong to go and rest.

Duanmu Rong sighed helplessly after seeing this scene.

She couldn't persuade her master at all!
Master once said, "A person cannot stand without integrity." How come Master himself has started to lie to people?

After returning to her bedroom, Duanmu Rong secretly wrote a letter to Xu Lin out of concern for Nian Duan's health.

Only Xu Lin can control Nian Duan!
Therefore, Duanmu Rong had no other choice!

Although the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic is shameful, she had no choice but to do it for her master's health!
