Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 25: Zhao Ji blushes?

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Lin arrived at Ganquan Palace.

At this time, Zhao Ji was lying on the phoenix couch drinking.

When the slightly tipsy Zhao Ji saw Xu Lin, she smiled gracefully and raised her hand to dismiss the people around her.

"See the Queen Mother!"

Xu Lin took a few steps forward and saluted.

Zhao Ji was wearing a purple-red long dress of extraordinary texture, and looked very charming.

"There is no need to be polite, sir."

Zhao Ji smiled with her eyes and waved her hand.

Then she took a sip of wine, waved to Xu Lin, and asked Xu Lin to come closer to her.

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled indifferently and walked slowly to Zhao Ji.

"I wonder why the Queen Mother summoned me here so late at night?"

Xu Lin asked.

He was only one step away from Zhao Ji at this time and could smell her fragrance.

Zhao Ji was wearing a little makeup, but the fragrance was not from rouge and powder, but the unique body fragrance of a woman.

"If I'm fine, can't you let Mr. come?"

Zhao Ji's eyelashes gradually curved.

After she finished speaking, she personally poured a bottle of rice wine for Xu Lin.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Lin has become much more handsome. How can there be such a handsome man in the world?

She had heard Hongzao say before, "The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world." Aren't these words describing Xu Lin?
"of course can."

"But the Queen Mother is the mother of a country after all. She sees me every now and then. If word gets out..."

Xu Lindao.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"So what if it gets out?"

"If anyone dares to talk about me behind my back, I will chop off his tongue!"

Zhao Ji held her waist with both hands and straightened her chest.

Xu Lin said nothing when he heard this. He took the wine jar handed to him by Zhao Ji and took a sip of wine.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, his face turned red.

This wine is different from ordinary rice wine. It has a high alcohol content, a bit like the white wine of later generations.

"how is the taste?"

Zhao Ji saw Xu Lin blushing and said with sparkling eyes.

"not bad."

"But I don't like drinking."

"A little drink can soothe your spirits. I suggest that the Queen Mother drink less in the future."

Xu Lin answered.

After saying this, he put down the wine bottle and took out a bag of tea from his arms.

He can directly materialize the things in the storage space into his arms!
He prefers tea to wine.

Soon, Zhao Ji smelled a faint fragrance, which was very refreshing.

"Is this sir's new invention?"

After more than ten breaths, Zhao Ji bent her knees slightly, picked up the blanket beside her, covered her thighs with it, and asked with blinking eyes.

"That's it."

Xu Lin said without turning his head.

Then he personally made a cup of tea for Zhao Ji.

Since the freshly brewed tea was quite hot and could not be drunk immediately, Zhao Ji changed the topic to the Shadow Guards.

"I heard that Mr. takes a day off every few days and is often late and leaves early."

"Sir, do you not want to be a Shadow Guard?"

"Sir, if you have a job you like, please tell me."

Zhao Ji's voice was lazy.

She is willing to lend a helping hand to Xu Lin!
"???"

"Where did the Queen Mother hear this?"

"It's true that I take frequent rest days, but that was agreed upon with General Zhang before I joined the Shadow Secret Guard!"

Xu Lin retorted.

"It's not that I don't want to be a Shadow Guard, but I just like to rest."

"Working four hours a day is already pushing the limit."

Xu Lin continued.

Zhao Ji suddenly understood what was said, and then nodded to show her understanding.

Like Xu Lin, she also likes to rest. Recently, she has been sleeping for nearly five hours every day.

Apart from eating, playing chess and sleeping every day, Zhao Ji has gained a lot of weight in recent years. When she first returned to Xianyang, she weighed only 80 kilograms, but now she probably weighs nearly 110 kilograms.

Xu Lin felt that this was just right.

Zhao Ji was only half a head shorter than him. If she only weighed 100 pounds, she would be too thin!

……

After a stick of incense.

Zhao Ji took the tea bowl handed to her by Xu Lin and took a sip of tea.

As soon as she took a sip, her eyes lit up.

This tea is much better than wine!

"Have you ever served anyone else, sir?"

"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable in my back. Could you please give me a hand?"

After a few breaths, Zhao Ji put down the tea bowl and asked with narrowed eyes.

Hongzao, who was guarding the door, was about to speak when he heard this, but hesitated. Xu Lin frowned when he heard this.

"I have never served anyone else."

"But I can try."

After a brief pause, Xu Lin said.

The plump Zhao Ji was delighted when she heard this. She turned over, rested her chest on the pillow, and lay on the phoenix couch.

Xu Lin took a few steps forward, sat on the phoenix couch, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hand on Zhao Ji's back.

After feeling Xu Lin's hand, Zhao Ji's delicate body trembled slightly.

Although the long skirt Zhao Ji wore was of extraordinary texture, it was not very thick.

Under the bright moonlight, Zhao Ji's back was as smooth as jade and flawless.

……

After a cup of tea.

Zhao Ji bit her lower lip tightly and almost couldn't help but hum.

After a few breaths, she put her legs together and stopped Xu Lin.

Xu Lin is too experienced, she is no match for him at all.

"I'm a little tired."

"It's getting late, sir, when do you plan to go back?"

Zhao Ji coughed twice, took a sip of herbal tea, and asked.

Her cheeks were red and her palms were sweaty.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Xu Lindao.

He is not in a hurry about it.

Anyway, there is plenty of time.

"it is good."

"Sir, if you come up with any inventions in the future, please remember me."

"I will not treat you unfairly!"

Zhao Ji sat up straight and spoke.

Xu Lin nodded, turned and left Ganquan Palace.

After Xu Lin walked away, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why does he know everything?"

Looking at Xu Lin's back as he walked away, Zhao Ji thought to herself.

If Xu Linruo doesn't leave, she won't be able to bear it anymore!

Although she admired Xu Lin very much, she, like Xu Lin, felt that such things should be done step by step and not in a hurry.

……

half a month later.

The first batch of straw paper was produced and sold in Xianyang, Nanjun, Sanchuanjun and other places.

In order to benefit the world, Ying Zheng set the price very low.

This matter soon reached the ears of Lu Liang and Lu Ming in Beidi County.

Lu Liang was the prefect of Beidi County, and Lu Ming was the richest businessman in Beidi County. Both of them were cousins ​​of Lu Buwei.

Although Lu Liang was not the county magistrate, he had the final say in Beidi County. Even the county magistrate was afraid of him. After all, he was Lu Xiang's cousin.
"Third brother."

"Did you hear about the toilet paper?"

"It is said that a single stack of straw paper can hold the equivalent of nearly a hundred scrolls of bamboo slips."

"If this thing spreads in Beidi County, how will we make money from selling bamboo slips in the future?"

Lu Ming complained to Lu Liang.

He has made a fortune over the years by monopolizing books.

The bowls he used for eating and the wine jugs he used for drinking were all gilded.

"you're right."

"But it's the king's intention to promote this product, and it's not right for you and me to go against the king directly."

"Well, go find a family and make an example of them. Let's see who dares to buy toilet paper again!"

Lu Liang gave the order while thinking.

"it is good!"

Lu Ming immediately accepted the order.

Then he took his men and left the County Magistrate's Mansion.

……

That night.

Lu Ming asked his men to throw several stacks of straw paper into a house on the outskirts of the city.

After throwing it away, he led people into the house of that family.

"Fifty gold coins were lost from the County Magistrate's Mansion. Was it stolen from your family?"

"Hmm? What is this? Toilet paper?"

"Although this straw paper is not too expensive, it is still not something your family can afford!"

"You must have stolen that fifty gold coins. Otherwise, how could you have so much toilet paper in your house?"

"Someone come! Kill those two old guys!"

"If I remember correctly, your name seems to be Xiaomei? Come, take her away!"

"Who's crying? Your daughter? Someone! Take her daughter away too!"

Lu Ming said loudly.

After saying this, he took Xiaomei and her daughter away, and then set fire to Xiaomei's house.

Xiaomei's parents both died at the hands of his henchmen!
