Chapter 181 Meeting the Thirteenth Prince
Lin Xi never expected that the people she got the most at odds with were her second brother and Wang Jing.
"Second brother, I do have to go there with Wang Jing. I'll tell you the details when I come back." Lin Xi said.
Lin Yunhuan looked at Lin Xi in disbelief. He felt that he had been hit in various ways during this period of time. First, he protected Xiao Yongyan too much, and now he was speaking for the Wang family.
As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and the next moment she no longer has him as her brother.
"Actually, it's not a bad idea to bring my second brother along." Xiao Yongyan suddenly spoke.
Wang Jing looked at Xiao Yongyan in shock, "Are you crazy? Do you know what I am going to do?"
"The Lin family already knows about it." Xiao Yongyan said calmly, not considering how much shock this sentence would bring to Wang Jing.
"What do you mean?" Wang Jing exclaimed. It had only been a short time and the Lin family had already gotten involved.
"It's just what you think." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi always felt that beneath his calm appearance, there was a heart that was eager to watch the fun.
Sure enough, Wang Jing's face showed a variety of expressions, and he finally compromised helplessly, "Okay, bringing one more person won't make any difference to me."
Having said that, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from his expression that he was unwilling to do so.
Poor Lin Yunhuan was completely confused and didn't understand what they were saying after listening for a long time.
After Mrs. Lin learned the purpose of Wang Jing's visit, she asked Lin Xi to go with Wang Jing without saying much.
The four of them went out together and returned to the capital again.
This time when she returned, Lin Xi had mixed feelings. She did not come here trembling with fear, but came with a mission.
In the carriage, the four of them were silent.
Halfway through the journey, Wang Jing took out a black cloth and handed it to the three people, "The meeting place is a secret, none of us can see it."
Lin Xi took the cloth and blindfolded himself, thinking that the Thirteenth Prince was quite good at playing games and was so mysterious.
No one, including Wang Jing, knew the way to the meeting place. The Thirteenth Prince's men drove in front the whole way.
Finally, the four of them came to a dilapidated house. The surrounding decorations were so common that they could not tell where it was.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xi felt that the veil in front of her eyes was taken off, and in front of her stood a teenage boy with a childish face.
He is not very old, but his temperament is extremely outstanding. Even at a young age, he can give people a sense of grandeur and calmness.
Wang Jing took a step forward and said, "Hello, Your Majesty. These are the people I mentioned to you before."
The crowd didn't want to wait for the Thirteenth Prince to ask them one by one, so everyone gave a brief self-introduction.
The Thirteenth Prince obviously didn't care much about Lin Yunhuan, but he was very curious about Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi.
However, after these men talked for a long time, Lin Xi didn't understand anything.
She didn't understand the power and factions in the court, and now she was even more confused when she heard them say this.
Fortunately, the Thirteenth Prince seemed to realize this and said, "Madam Xiao, I heard that you are quite capable in business and are doing very well in Lianggu County."
"No, that's really an exaggeration. It's just a little money." Lin Xi said.
Wang Jing took over the conversation, "It's more than just a small amount of money. You don't know that these are all made of pork. A pound of bacon can't even buy fifty coins, but Lin's bacon can be sold for a hundred coins!"
The Thirteenth Prince listened to what Wang Jing said with great interest.
Lin Yunhuan on the side was also listening carefully. At the beginning, when Lin Xi said that she was living a good life, he actually didn't believe it. It was only now that he truly realized that Lin Xi was indeed amazing. His sister had grown into an independent woman when no one noticed.
"I heard that Madam Xiao wanted to expand her business to the capital. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help." said the Thirteenth Prince.
Lin Xi was stunned. She thought the Thirteenth Prince would make some request to her, but she didn't expect him to ask if she needed any help right away.
"Come to think of it, there really is one." Lin Xi said frankly, "I want to open a shop selling rice paper in the capital, but I don't have time to find a suitable shop."
The Thirteenth Prince smiled faintly and said, "So it's a question of the shop. I'll let you send the deed to the shop later, and you can pick one."
Lin Xi was stunned. From what the prince meant, he wanted to give it to her.
Lin Yunhuan was a little unconvinced. "If it's a shop, my Lin family also has one. Xi'er, if you had told me earlier, I would have prepared it for you."
The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "It's just a shop. Consider it my gift to Madam Xiao."
Look, this child is so magnanimous in his handling of things. Lin Xi couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Afterwards, the Thirteenth Prince talked a lot with Xiao Yongyan and the others, but Lin Xi's mind was completely focused on the new store and he didn't care about what they said at all.
…
The day after they came out from the Thirteenth Prince, Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi received the land deed sent by the Thirteenth Prince.
Xiao Yongyan helped Lin Xi choose a shop on East Street. It was not large but had an excellent location. It was said to be at the intersection of a busy street and close to academies and guild halls, and the people around there had a great demand for paper.
Lin Xi felt very satisfied and prepared to go and see it in person.
But Xiao Yongyan was cautious and said, "There are many people in East Street, and many of them know us. It's best to wear the human skin mask given by my second brother."
Lin Xi thought it made sense, and the two of them disguised themselves before going out.
This was Lin Xi's first time to visit the bustling streets of Beijing. The prosperity of the business was beyond her imagination.
Following the address on the title deed, the two found the store.
Sandwiched between a bunch of shops with good business, this small shop is really pitifully small, only a few square meters, and the door is completely dark, so one cannot see what is inside at all.
When Lin Xi saw it for the first time, he almost wanted to turn around and leave, but fortunately Xiao Yongyan stopped him, "Sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing, why not go in and take a look first."
"Okay." Considering that it was a rare opportunity for him to go out, it would be a pity not to take a closer look.
The two walked in from the store entrance. What they didn't expect was that there was a large area inside the store, with a small garden attached. It could be said to be a different world.
Xiao Yongyan knew from Lin Xi's expression that she liked it, and said with a smile, "I told you a long time ago, it won't be wrong to come in and take a look."
But Lin Xi was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "How do you know there's something else going on? Have you been to this shop before?"
Xiao Yongyan chuckled, "What's so hard about this? Since this is a shop specially prepared for you, how could there be any rubbish mixed in?"
Lin Xi touched her nose. What Xiao Yongyan said seemed to make sense, but she didn't expect that the Thirteenth Prince would value his promise so much that he would prepare a shop for someone he had just met for the first time.
