Chapter 172 Preparing to Go to Beijing

In fact, Lin Xi was not talking nonsense, it is indeed not difficult to make money.

Not to mention anything else, as long as she goes out for a walk, she can make a lot of money just by gambling on stones, but she can't go too far now.

"How much do you need?" Lin Xi asked.

Wang Jing was not sure about the answer to this question. He looked at Xiao Yongyan with difficulty and said, "You go ahead."

Xiao Yongyan had no choice but to say, "I want it no matter how much."

Lin Xi: "..."

"Is Thirteen so poor?" she couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jing quickly interrupted, "You can't say that. The Thirteenth Master's family is indeed not well-off. Because he is still young, he has not received many of the benefits he deserves."

Lin Xi didn't care about the specific reasons, she only knew that a lot of silver and money were needed.

"By the way, how much do you plan to price your silk rice paper?" Wang Jing asked.

Lin Xi didn't think much about it and said casually, "Five hundred taels."

"Five hundred taels!" Wang Jing was shocked. "Do you think you can sell it?"

Lin Xi didn't think there was a problem at all. "It's only 500 yuan. We adopt the pre-sale model. Order first and pick up later."

Wang Jing was speechless. Can this thing still be sold?

Lin Xi seemed to see what Wang Jing was thinking, "Don't worry, people in the capital love to compete with each other. As long as you can be one step ahead of others, it doesn't matter if you spend five hundred taels."

"I admire you." Wang Jing gave a thumbs up.

"Also, I use Madam Linglong as my pseudonym for my business in the capital."

The second after Lin Xi finished speaking, Wang Jing stood up without warning, "Are you Madam Linglong?"

Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan were both startled by him.

"Why are you so excited?" Lin Xi looked at Wang Jing strangely.

"I heard that someone opened a top-grade jade in Shenxianju and named it Madam Linglong. It turned out to be you!" Wang Jing was very excited.

"Is it so famous?" Lin Xi touched her nose. The result seemed to be better than she expected.

"Hey, since you have this ability, can you help me take a look? I have a lot of raw stones in my backyard." Wang Jing said.

Lin Xi was stunned, "You want me to go to Beijing?"

"Why not? The store in Beijing is about to open, don't you want to take care of it?" Wang Jing said as if it was a matter of course.

Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan. She still couldn't digest this information. "If I go to the capital and can't come back for a while, the people around me will definitely find out. By then, the court..."

"What are you worried about? The situation in the capital is in chaos right now. The remaining forces of the second brother are causing trouble. No one can take care of you now." Wang Jing said.

"Is it really possible?" Lin Xi was undecided and looked at Xiao Yongyan for help.

Xiao Yongyan nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Lin Xi couldn't suppress her surprise and joy. She had long wanted to see the prosperity of the capital city, but had no choice but to live in this small place. She even had to be careful when going to Xucheng.

Now that Wang Jing told her that she could go to the capital, she was naturally overjoyed.

Since making the plan to go to the capital, Lin Xi has been busy learning how to ride a horse.

That's right, in order to save as much time as possible, they had to abandon the carriage and ride on horseback instead.

For Lin Xi, who had never ridden a horse in her life, it was not easy to learn this skill as quickly as possible, especially because the horse would easily not recognize Lin Xi and would throw her off at any time.

Fortunately, Xiao Yongyan and Wang Jing were there, otherwise Lin Xi would have fallen into an unknown state.

After several days of learning, Lin Xi made great progress in horse riding.

Of course, this is not because she is a great rider or has a special talent. The main reason is that she used the Shennong system to provide the horse with a kind of snack, and would give it a reward as long as it ran well.

In an instant, the horse became obedient in Lin Xi's hands, and even Wang Jing and Xiao Yongyan were amazed.

Seven days later, they arranged everything and set out under the cover of night.

"By the way, I was afraid it might be unsafe on the road, so I prepared these for you." Lin Xi took out two sickles from behind his back and handed them to Wang Jing and Xiao Yongyan.

Not surprisingly, the two of them really looked down upon this "gift".

Wang Jing said bluntly, "This thing used to cut rice in the farmer's field is not good enough to fight the enemy. Sister-in-law, I know you mean well, but you really don't need it. The sword I have is also a good one."

Xiao Yongyan silently expressed his disdain through his actions.

"You don't want it?" Lin Xi was instantly unhappy. This sickle cost him more than a thousand points, but they didn't even want it.

"Wang Jing, take out your sword." Lin Xi took Xiao Yongyan's sickle and looked at Wang Jing.

Wang Jing felt a little frightened by Lin Xi's gaze, but he didn't dare to resist and could only draw his sword obediently.

Lin Xi glanced at Wang Jing coldly and said, "Hold it tight!"

With a ding, the blade of the sickle touched Wang Jing's sword, and the sword broke.

Wang Jing's eyes widened instantly, looking at the sword broken into two pieces in front of him, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Xiao Yongyan was also stunned. He looked at the sickle in Lin Xi's hand and took it silently.

It took Wang Jing a while to respond, "What is your sickle made of?"

Lin Xi had no idea what material it was made of, but he pretended to be profound and said, "Don't worry about what it is, it's always a good thing."

"What? You don't want it now?" Lin Xi's words were threatening.

"Yes, anyone who doesn't want it is a fool!" Wang Jing changed his mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

Such a sharp object can actually cut through a sword purchased at a high price. It can be seen that its sharpness is extraordinary.

"Let's go, it's getting late, we have to find a place to stay before dark." Xiao Yongyan said.

The three men mounted their horses and rode away, leaving behind only a cloud of dust.

After nightfall, the three were lucky enough to stay in an inn on the roadside.

However, perhaps because it is located in a place where there is no village in front and no shop behind, the conditions of this inn are very simple.

Lin Xi and the other two still wanted the best private room, but the sanitary conditions were still poor.

But when you are away from home, you can't accept so much, so Lin Xi can only choose to make do with it.

Who knew that this shabby place not only had poor conditions, but also terrible sound insulation.

When Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan were getting ready to go to bed, they heard voices coming from the next room.

"Do you think Xiao Yongyan, a poor boy, can turn the world upside down? The Prime Minister has already sent Lord Hang, but he is still not at ease."

"Lord Hang has been there for several months, and there has been no movement, so the Prime Minister is anxious. You don't know that the situation in the capital is very chaotic now."

In the darkness, Lin Xi didn't dare to speak and pushed Xiao Yongyan hard.

Xiao Yongyan covered Lin Xi's mouth to prevent her from making any sound. He didn't stand up until Lin Xi nodded to indicate that she would remain quiet.

Lin Xi couldn't see Xiao Yongyan's movements clearly, but her heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of her throat.
