Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

After the matter was settled, Lin Shubin followed Chu Qi and walked up to King Xuan and Shen Jingyi.

"I greet His Majesty King Xuan."

Lin Shubin bowed respectfully.

"Stand up, we are all family, no need to be polite." King Xuan said gently.

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

After Lin Shubin stood up, he glanced at Shen Jingyi and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that her cousin was doing well in the palace.

Chuqi relayed the middle-aged man's words to the two of them.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's really a hundred thousand silver coins for a clean magistrate in three years."

"Where did Yier come up with this statement?" King Xuan asked curiously.

"I forgot." Shen Jingyi answered quickly, but she thought to herself that she couldn't say that she saw it in modern times.

"That's very apt!" Lin Shubin couldn't help but interrupt.

Shen Jingyi glanced at him and said jokingly, "Has my second cousin been kicked out of the house?"

"No, my mother loves me so much, how could I be kicked out?" Lin Shubin explained hurriedly.

"Then why are you like this?"

Shen Jingyi looked at him puzzledly.

"Because I gave all my money away."

Lin Shubin shrugged helplessly.

"Ah, the silver is biting your hand." Shen Jingyi said in surprise.

"I was doing a good deed!"

"Don't be fooled."

"Definitely not. I was walking on the street when a boy of eight or nine stole my jade pendant.

After I found out, I chased him all the way and went to the clinic, where I learned that his sister had been hit by a carriage and they had no money for treatment, so they thought of stealing.

In fact, they are quite pitiful.

They were all orphans and beggars, picked up by Liu Xiu Niang.

Liu Xiu Niang was a widow with only one family member.

Over the years, she has picked up seven children and raised them. The oldest is the boy who stole my jade pendant, and the youngest is two years old, a girl.

Liu Xiu Niang supported these children by selling embroidery works and doing odd jobs.

That day, the little girl went out to bring her food.

He was hit by a carriage that suddenly rushed out. The man ran away without paying compensation. When he was taken to the hospital, he was almost dead.

The old doctor was on the edge of his seat and would not treat her until he saw money, but Liu Xiuniang had no money at all, so the boy lied to them and said that he had just made an acquaintance with a rich man and he was going to borrow some money from him.

Then I borrowed it.

I paid for the treatment first, thinking that it was a matter of life and death, and then I went to their home.

You don’t know, they are so poor, they have nothing in the house, the children’s clothes are ill-fitting and patched up, and they only eat some mushy steamed bread every day.

When things are better, when the restaurant is doing booming business, they can go and help out, and the restaurant will give them some food.

Or if there are leftovers from guests, they can pack some up and take them away.

I felt sorry for them so I gave them all the money I had.

Then I thought about trying my luck at the dock, seeing if I could meet someone I knew who could lend me some money, or find a job here to earn some money for my trip home.

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky today to meet my cousin and the prince."

After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Jingyi gave a thumbs up after hearing this.

With an expression of admiration on his face, he exclaimed: "You are really an amazing person. You have brought yourself to this point just to help others.

What's in your head? Can't you save some money for your trip?"

Lin Shubin smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and explained: "Haha, I forgot at the time and took it all out at once. It doesn't seem appropriate to ask for money afterwards."

Shen Jingyi asked curiously: "Then how much did you give?"

Lin Shubin answered truthfully: "One hundred taels."

Shen Jingyi's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "You only brought one hundred taels with you when you went on a long journey?"

Lin Shubin said a little embarrassedly: "Well... Actually, I ran away secretly this time, and I didn't have much money on me."

King Xuan also felt that this man had a certain foolishness, but he was also very upright and clear-sighted.

Judging from his performance just now, he is quite skilled, has a strong sense of justice, likes to stand up for the weak, and likes to cause trouble.

Looking at the women around me, I feel like they are a bit like what’s going on.

"What are your plans next? If you want to go home, I can provide you with travel expenses."

Lin Shubin touched the back of his head and said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, I...I don't want to go back now, can I follow you?"

"Or you can follow this Chuqi brother. You can also send me if you need anything."

King Xuan glanced at Shen Jingyi.

Shen Jingyi shrugged and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide."

"Well, for Yi'er's sake, you can follow me if you want."

Now is the time when he needs people, and someone is offered to him for a job, so why shouldn't he use him?

At this time, Shen Jingyi winked at Chuntao.

Chuntao stepped forward and handed Lin Shubin one hundred taels of silver.

"Second cousin, go find an inn to wash up first! We'll wait for you outside the city."

"No, I'll just go get my stuff."

Shen Jingyi looked at Lin Shubin with difficulty describing the situation.

"Second cousin, don't you realize that you stink?"

When Lin Shubin heard this, his face turned red.

He immediately took two steps back, said, "I'll return the money to you later," and disappeared in a flash.

"Hahaha......"

King Xuan touched the top of Shen Jingyi's head helplessly, "Naughty."

Nanny Qin had a smile in her eyes. She also felt that her young lady was becoming more and more naughty because of the prince's pampering.

Chuntao and Qiuju looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.

Lin Shubin left in a hurry, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

When he stepped into the inn, the waiter at the front desk came forward and asked enthusiastically.

"Sir, are you staying at the hotel or just stopping by for a meal?"

"I...I want to take a shower in the room..." Lin Shubin ran a little out of breath and said a little embarrassedly.

The waiter saw his embarrassment and immediately guided him, "Please follow me. I will prepare it for you."

A few minutes later, Lin Shubin finally had a good soak in the bathtub in the small room. The water temperature was just right, and slowly, the fatigue and tension in his body dissipated. His thoughts gradually became clear.

"I was so impulsive. Why would I run away? It's okay for a grown man like me to be a little smelly."

Lin Shubin talked to himself, reflecting on his actions just now.

After taking a shower, he changed into clean clothes and looked refreshed.

When he walked out of the inn, he turned into a noble young man again.

Outside the city, Shen Jingyi and King Xuan were sitting in front of a tea stall, drinking the fragrant tea they brought with them.

The sunlight shines through the treetops onto Shen Jingyi's face, making her look particularly gentle.

Chuntao was talking to her in a low voice beside her. The scene was warm and relaxed.

At this time, Lin Shubin hurried over. The embarrassment on his face was gone, and he spoke calmly.

"My Lord, cousin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

King Xuan nodded and said, "Sit down."

Shen Jingyi said, "It's okay. Nanny Qin and Qiuju took people to buy things, and they haven't come back yet!"

Lin Shubin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, she was not waiting for him on purpose. He did not dare to let King Xuan wait, as that would be too stressful.

Seeing that there was an empty seat at the table next to him, he sat down.

He has a generous personality and he is Shen Jingyi's cousin, so the prince agreed to let him follow him, and their table soon became lively.
