Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 296 Sugar Making Method

"How dare I?"

Honglian immediately denied it.

Then he had Xu Lin lie down on the soft couch.

She was going to give Xu Lin a full-body massage; only in this way could she find Xu Lin's weakness!

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Honglian's wrists were starting to ache, but she still couldn't find Xu Lin's weakness.

"It's your turn."

Xu Lin said loudly.

Then he had Honglian lean over the windowsill.

Then the animal skin cushion was placed under the windowsill.

Honglian frowned slightly upon seeing this, wondering what Xu Lin meant by this.

How's your stamina?

Xu Lin sat cross-legged and asked with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he opened the window and folded the hem of his skirt in half and then in half again.

The windows were very high, so Xu Lin could not be seen from outside; only Hong Lian, who was standing in front of the window, could be seen.

"Sir, what do you want to do?"

Honglian looked on warily.

She had a bad feeling.

"Improve your stamina."

Xu Lin smiled.

Then tell Honglian not to worry about him and just chat with the people passing by.

What should I talk to them about?

Honglian pressed her jade-like legs together and asked, puzzled.

She had little connection with the women in the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

"We can talk about anything."

Xu Lin answered.

After saying that, he placed his hand on Honglian's knee.

Her knees were very red because she had been kneeling on the soft couch.

Honglian hesitated upon hearing this, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

Then he coughed twice and began looking for someone to chat with.

Before long, she stopped Mei San Niang who was passing by.

"I wonder what I call the girl?"

Honglian rested her elbow on the windowsill, smiled brightly, and asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and unfolded the folded skirt.

She felt that having Xu Lin hidden under her skirt would make it less likely for her to be discovered!

"My surname is Mei, and everyone calls me Third Sister."

Mei San Niang was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then replied.

"Sanniang?"

"You don't look older than me."

"May I ask how old you are, young lady... and how many teeth do you have?"

Honglian lightly bit her cherry lips and asked casually.

Xu Lin's restless hands made her speak haltingly.

"I'll be nineteen next month."

Mei San Niang answered truthfully.

She had met Honglian before, but this was the first time she had chatted with her.

"If I only heard your name, I would think you were thirty or even forty."

"Don't you have a name?"

Honglian tiptoed and asked, lightly covering her cherry lips.

"Third Sister is my name."

Mei San Niang said.

She had only met Honglian a few times when Honglian suddenly stopped her and started chatting about random things. What was she trying to do?
"I know."

"What I mean is, you can come up with another name."

"Sir, you are a man of profound learning and wisdom, could you please..."

Honglian suggested, biting her lip.

She was focused entirely on defense, so she had no idea what they were talking about.

"Need not!"

"I really like the name San Niang."

Mei San Niang immediately refused.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Honglian's furrowed brows, Mei San Niang asked curiously.

"what?"

"I am fine."

Honglian gripped her skirt tightly and forced a smile.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Mei San Niang frowned slightly, then asked.

Honglian shook her head and then immediately closed the bamboo window.

If we don't close the window soon, we'll be exposed!

"Sir, you're so naughty!"

"She almost found out!"

Honglian lowered her voice. Her legs were trembling uncontrollably and she was completely unresponsive.

"Didn't we just not notice it?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Then, using his hand as a pillow, he let Honglian sit down and rest for a while.

……

at the same time.

Mei San Niang returned to her bedroom.

After settling into bed, she began to think about what Honglian had just said.

Honglian spoke absentmindedly, as if she were carrying out some kind of mission.

She only saw Honglian at the time. Where was Xu Lin?
As Honglian closed the window, she vaguely heard the sound of water, which made her furrow her brows.

If she's right, Xu Lin must have been up to no good in the shadows!
Otherwise, why would Honglian speak in such a halting manner?

Xu Lin is indeed a lecherous man!
Mei San Niang was not surprised by this!
The Imperial Preceptor's mansion is filled with beauties; it would be strange if Xu Lin wasn't lustful!
……

More than a month later.

Winter passes and spring comes, and everything revives.

Yan Lingji and Yingge returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, the carriage filled with sugarcane.

Seeing this, Xu Lin's eyes showed satisfaction, and then he personally poured a bowl of tea for Yan Lingji and Yingge.

"You guys go and rest first."

Xu Lin said gently.

"it is good."

Yan Lingji nodded, drank the cold tea in the bowl in one gulp, and swayed her slender waist as she walked towards the bedroom.

"Sir, I'm not tired."

Yingge took a sip of light tea and spoke.

Even if you're not tired, you still need to rest.

"Just like eating, you can't wait until you're starving before you eat."

Xu Lin said seriously.

He wasn't consulting with the parrot; he was giving an order.

"promise!"

The parrot had no choice but to obey.

Then she raised her delicate neck and began to 'ton ton ton'.

I haven't seen Yingge for over a month, and she's lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, his chest didn't get much thinner, otherwise what would Xu Lin eat?
Because Yingge excels in light-footed skills, she is very concerned about her weight.

Although Yingge doesn't look very thin, her weight is actually below Jingni and Liji, and about the same as Liwu.

After reviewing the "White Sugar Making Method" again, Xu Lin called Jing Ni and the others over.

There is strength in numbers.

After Jingni, Liji, and the others entered the study, Xu Lin handed over the task of juicing them to them.

Juicing, as the name suggests, is the process of separating sugar juice from fiber.

"it is good!"

The bewildered but impressive Li Wu and the others readily agreed.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and started working.

……

That night.

Xianyang, Ganquan Palace.

As the weather warmed up, Zhao Ji began to miss Xu Lin.

No stove is as comfortable as Xu Lin's.

If the stove is too close to the phoenix bed, Zhao Ji will feel very dry.

If the stove is too far from the phoenix bed, Zhao Ji will feel cold.

Xu Lin's stove is still the most comfortable; it's not only not drying, but it's also good for your skin!

"What has the Imperial Advisor been doing lately?"

Zhao Ji, dressed in a deep purple phoenix dress, suddenly asked.

After speaking, she dismissed everyone except her trusted confidante, Hongzao.

"The Imperial Advisor sent someone to the Sichuan and Chongqing region some time ago."

"We found a lot of mulberry trees."

"If my guess is correct, the Grand Preceptor has made another new invention!"

Hongzao answered respectfully.

Then he put Zhao Ji's hair up in a bun.

For some reason, Zhao Ji has recently taken a liking to wearing her hair up in an updo.

With her hair piled high, Zhao Ji appeared graceful, noble, and dignified.

"What a busy person."

"I'm afraid even Zheng'er isn't as busy as him!"

Zhao Ji said angrily.

Xu Lin hadn't been to Ganquan Palace for several months, and she was quite dissatisfied with that!
"Your subordinate is going to the Imperial Preceptor's residence..."

Seeing this, Hongzao asked.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"Need not!"

"I was just asking casually!"

Zhao Ji retorted stubbornly.

After she finished speaking, she told the red dates to go away.

After Hongzao walked away, Zhao Ji, supported by her slender waist, walked towards the phoenix bed.

Then she drew the curtains and took out the toy that Xu Lin had given her from a hidden compartment in the phoenix bed.

She is the Empress Dowager of Qin, the mother of the nation. How can she always beg Xu Lin for favors?
Xu Lin should be kneeling at her phoenix skirt, begging her for help!
