Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 97: Yan Lingji wants to kill Xu Lin by exhausting his essence?
Li Ji nodded.

Yan Lingji was startled again upon seeing this.

She never expected that Xu Lin was not only handsome and highly skilled, but also young and adept at invention.

This made her even more curious about Xu Lin!

……

Three days later.

Yan Lingji discovered the curved plow.

She had used a straight-shaft plow when she was in Baiyue, so as soon as she got her hands on a curved-shaft plow, she knew that the curved-shaft plow was incomparable to the straight-shaft plow.

"This was also invented by our benefactor?"

Yan Lingji, holding the curved plow, blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"if not?"

Li Ji countered with a question.

"Is there anything a benefactor can't do?"

Yan Lingji thought to herself upon hearing this.

The appearance of the curved plow made her admire Xu Lin even more.

……

Five days later.

Seeing that Yan Lingji was idle all day, Li Ji introduced chess to Yan Lingji.

Xu Lin has been busy telling stories to Cherry and finding Jing Ni to supplement her "spiritual food" lately, so he has no time to play chess with her. Li Wu is not good at chess either, so Li Ji found Yan Ling Ji.

Soon, Yan Lingji learned to play chess.

After losing two games in a row, Yan Ling Ji gradually found herself on par with Li Ji.

"continue?"

After a cup of tea, Yan Lingji narrowly defeated Li Ji and asked in a seductive voice.

"it is good."

Li Ji readily agreed.

She is a very competitive person.

“When I first arrived, my benefactor said he was a lecherous man.”

"Is he really a lecherous man?"

Yan Lingji asked as she set up the chess pieces.

Her long legs were crossed to one side, and the hem of her skirt barely covered her knees.

She has been at the Xu residence for almost half a month, and Xu Lin has not done anything excessive. Neither the way he looks at her nor his words seem to indicate that he is a lecherous person!
"Yes."

"However, you are different from ordinary lechers."

"The gentleman dislikes forcing people to do things against their will and prefers things to happen naturally."

Not every lecherous person bullies men and women all day long.

Li Ji said without looking up.

Although it was already autumn, Yan Lingji still dressed very lightly every day, and she was a little embarrassed to look at Yan Lingji when she was in close contact with her.

Everything was white, and she didn't know where to look!

"I see."

Yan Lingji suddenly realized.

……

the other side.

The city of Mei in the Qin state.

The curved plow was sold in Mei County. Although Mei County was far from Xianyang, the news that the curved plow was very useful had already reached Mei County.

The queue stretched as far as the eye could see.

Soon, dozens of cartloads of curved plows were sold out.

After purchasing the curved-shaft plow, the common people immediately carried it to the fields.

After trying it, the common people were filled with excitement and applauded enthusiastically.

That evening, the news reached Bai Yousi's ears.

Upon learning of this, Bai Yousi asked her maid, who also served as her steward, to borrow a curved plow for her.

Seeing is believing, and she wanted to try it herself.

Before long, the housekeeper borrowed a curved plow.

Seeing this, Bai Yousi rolled up his sleeves and began to try.

Although she was Bai Qi's daughter, she had plowed the land with a straight-plow before, so she knew how difficult it was to use.

"this?"

"It seems that the rumors circulating among the people are not exaggerated."

Bai Yousi, dressed in a long white dress, ploughed the land while remarking with emotion.

Although she was very thin, she was quite strong, and she would spend at least an hour practicing swordsmanship every day.

"Was this really invented by Mr. Xu?"

Half an hour later, Bai Yousi stopped plowing, turned to look at the housekeeper, and asked curiously.

"should be."

"Old Li said that when he bought the curved plow, he asked an official from Xianyang, and the official told him this himself."

The housekeeper nodded.

"In that case, I must go to Xianyang."

Bai Yousi's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she spoke solemnly.

There were two reasons why she wanted to go to Xianyang to see Xu Lin in person.

First, she already owed Xu Lin a favor; if it weren't for him, her father, Bai Qi, might never have been exonerated. Second, she admired Xu Lin greatly; she liked things like tofu, straw paper, and the curved plow. She wanted to know what kind of person Xu Lin really was, and whether he was as lecherous as the rumors suggested.

The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Bai Yousi felt that people were smearing Xu Lin. How could someone as talented as Xu Lin be a lecher?
She had never seen such a lecherous genius in her entire life!

Can a person who is addicted to alcohol and women be exceptionally talented?
"it is good!"

The housekeeper immediately accepted the order.

Then they went to the stables and brought a carriage for Bai Yousi.

"My Lord".

"It's getting late, how about we do it tomorrow..."

The housekeeper suggested.

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yousi interrupted her.

"Delay brings change."

Bai Yousi immediately refused.

In her opinion, there's no time like the present. Xu Lin is incredibly learned and already the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard at such a young age. If she delays for a few more days, he'll probably become one of the Nine Ministers or even the Imperial Advisor. At that point, it won't be so easy for her to see him whenever she wants.

She was indeed the Lady of Wu'an, but she inherited the title from her father, Bai Qi, and had no real power.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Bai Yousi had made up his mind, the housekeeper stopped trying to persuade him.

Then they helped Bai Yousi carry her luggage into the carriage.

Bai Yousi disliked staying at inns, so the housekeeper laid out a layer of animal skin in the carriage.

That is why she prepared a carriage, rather than a fast horse.

"Ling'er."

Do you think Mr. Xu is a lecherous man?

After an incense stick had burned, the carriage drove out of the Wu'an Jun Mansion, and Bai Yousi, who was sitting upright in the carriage, suddenly asked.

She was very curious about Xu Lin!

She had heard of Xu Lin several years ago, when tofu and soy milk first appeared on the market.

"probably not."

Ling'er, who was driving, was uncertain about the road ahead.

She didn't have a surname; the name Ling'er was given to her by Bai Yousi.

In this era, most common people did not have surnames.

"I hope he isn't."

Bai Yousi murmured.

She had a very bad impression of lecherous men.

In her memory, lecherous people all had lewd faces, spoke vulgar language, or were either burly with a full beard, or fat with big ears and a big belly.

……

at the same time.

Xianyang, Xu Mansion.

Yan Lingji is taking a bath in her bedroom.

Because she can use fire attacks, she doesn't need to boil water.

Although she had only been living in the Xu residence for less than a month, she felt very comfortable and carefree every day, even more so than when she was in Baiyue.

The Xu family mansion has countless delicacies that can't be found anywhere else, as well as many other things that can't be found elsewhere, such as improved writing brushes, straw paper, and curved plows.

He slept until he naturally woke up every day, then played chess with Li Ji and chatted with Xu Lin, making Yan Ling Ji completely forget about Tian Ze.

Although Xu Lin didn't say much, chatting with him made Yan Lingji feel like she was basking in a spring breeze, and she benefited greatly from it.

"Is he really a lecher?"

After a dozen or so breaths, Yan Lingji looked down at her two 'evil' mounds and thought to herself.

Li Ji, Li Wu, and Jing Ni all say that Xu Lin is a lecher, but after living here for so long, they can't tell that Xu Lin is a lecher at all!
"Is it because my older sister is pretty enough?"

"That's why he's been hesitant to make a move?"

Yan Lingji raised her plump right leg, a look of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

Her chest wasn't as impressive as Jingni's, but it wasn't bad either, was it?
From the time she could remember, apart from a few men like Tianze and the Corpse-Driving Demon, most of the men she encountered would leer at her.

"No wonder my Fire Charm Technique has been stagnant; it seems..."

Yan Lingji looked at herself in the bronze mirror and spoke.

She was interrupted before she could finish her words.

Boom boom boom!
Li Wu knocked on the wooden door.

"Miss Yan, are you asleep?"

"The master wants you to go to his room."

Li Wu said seriously.

"not yet."

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

Yan Lingji was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded.

Why would Xu Lin go over there so late at night instead of sleeping?
He wanted to lay a hand on her?
Thinking of this, Yan Lingji smiled charmingly.

She knew Xu Lin would eventually give in!

But soon she felt a pang of anxiety, because she did not want to have a marital relationship with Xu Lin.

"He wouldn't really want to..."

As Yan Lingji wiped her delicate body, she frowned and said.

After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head.

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!
Although she couldn't beat Xu Lin, she didn't believe he would force her to do something she couldn't!
If Xu Lin dares to force her to do something she can't, she will... she will... she will make Xu Lin 'die from exhaustion'!
