Chapter 24 The Charm of Silk



I have been waiting for half an hour to see the four golden flowers of United Rose again.

Seeing that they had obviously dressed up in a rush, Lin Xingchen took a deep breath to suppress his annoyance. Waiting is not a very comfortable thing, especially when someone says it will be ready soon.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Avril apologized slightly.

"It's okay. I'm used to it. Next time I'll just have to say hello to you guys in advance."

"Lin, every lady likes to show her best side to the person who is most important to her. A little waiting is completely acceptable." Avril and the others were no longer so polite. Everyone put down their airs and felt relaxed.

"I came to you this time because I have something important to discuss with you," he said as he took out the silk from the space.

The space ring is really a convenient treasure, but it's a pity that not everyone can have it. Anna said with some envy.

"If you can find enough space stones, I can help you exchange them for some space rings."

"Before I introduce it, why don't you ladies take a look at it first."

This piece of silk is about one meter wide. After it is spread out, it appears bright and silky with the help of the sunlight outside the window.

Such beautiful fabric naturally attracted their attention, and their constant exclamations revealed their love for it.

"Lin, what kind of fabric is this? Why is it so beautiful? And it feels smooth and silky to the touch without any discomfort."

"It's called silk, and it's made from silk. This kind of fabric is lighter than any other fabric on the market, and you won't feel tired when you wear it. It's also very breathable, especially in hot seasons or indoors, and can keep you cooler. Even in winter, this kind of fabric is very warm."

"For beautiful ladies like you, making a set of pajamas that fit you well can make your skin more comfortable and allow you to sleep more sweetly."

If it is made into close-fitting underwear, it can protect your skin very well, especially those with dry skin. If you are allergic to some fabrics, it can play a role in maintaining the skin.

For example, when you go out for fun, the scorching sun can easily get you tanned, but if you wear such fabric, it can protect you from getting tanned.

There are many more benefits to it, which I cannot list all at once, but I think it is enough for you to just remember these points.

At this time, Lin Xingchen turned into a salesman and exaggerated the benefits of silk. The woman in front of him was obviously attracted by silk and couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Lin, how much of this fabric do you have left?"

“Not much for now, but we will be able to sell in large quantities after next year.”

"You are all jewels of high society. Do you think anyone would like this kind of fabric?"

"No one will probably like it. I want to take these fabrics back home and make clothes." Anna's eyes never left the silk.

"Then I'll give it to you. If the quantity is sufficient next year, I'll notify you to discuss the sale of this thing."

Ignoring the crazy women, Lin Xingchen went straight to Charles to discuss the matter of silkworm breeding.

After arranging a series of things, Lin Xingchen also returned to the castle. Inside the castle, Linda and Anasta were each holding a piece of silk and constantly gesturing on themselves.

"Master, I can't believe that the silk spit out by those little bugs can be used to weave cloth. Such cloth is really comfortable."

"Aunt Linda, if you like, just ask the servants to make the clothes you like. You will have more than enough fabric to wear in the future."

"Anastasia, go do it too! By the way, I talked to Charles about silkworm breeding today. You can go to him tomorrow and discuss it between the two of you."

"Okay, Master."

"By the way, young master, the Duke wants you to go to his study when you return."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." He turned and went to Green's study. Now Green looked younger and more energetic, perhaps because of the Tree of Life and the blood refining technique.

I found a place to sit down and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to talk to me about?"

“I’ve come to you because I have a few things to discuss with you. The first one is about your identity. You’re already fifteen this year, and you’ll be an adult next year.

Although the heir to the title does not necessarily need the approval of the king to pass it on, being recognized as the heir by everyone can also provide a lot of help to your future interpersonal relationships.

I want you to go to the capital. Firstly, you need to go to the Supreme Magic Academy for further studies, and secondly, it will also help you get this done. It will be a good thing for you and the family."

"Grandpa, let's forget about the question of further study. As a fifth-level magician, they can't teach me anything. And I don't think they can be better than Mr. Edwin."

"Master Edwin and the others may not be able to compare, but it won't be a bad thing to learn more about some things. This is settled."

"I have also consulted Charles and Anasta about the affairs of the territory. You just need to find the main direction and they will naturally help you complete it."

"You need to let your subordinates learn to share your burdens, rather than the other way around. This is a necessary lesson for a leader."

"Okay, since you are acting like a grandfather, I, your grandson, have to be obedient." Lin Xingchen said with a smile.

"I've asked Arnold to make arrangements. He will go with you to take care of you and also to keep an eye on you.

The capital is not as good as Maple Leaf Territory. I am afraid you will cause trouble if you act so casually in the capital."

"What about you? Can you do it alone?"

"Don't worry! There's no problem letting you two go. Besides, there's the Tree of Life. If things don't work out, I'll go under the tree, which is arguably the safest place."

"So when do I leave?"

"There are still more than two months before school starts. I thought you were well equipped when you set out the day after tomorrow."

"Since you are so anxious to get me out, I will need you to help me with the remaining things. The first thing is about the mulberry seedlings. I will leave a lot of seeds.

You will always be under the tree of life, and then the favor of the tree of life will soon grow. When the time comes, remember to dig it up and arrange for the residents to plant it. "

"The first one is about the silkworm seeds. I have discussed with Aunt Linda how to breed silkworm seeds. She will also tell you how to do it. You just need to cooperate with her when the time comes."

"I have already inquired about your affairs. You don't need to worry about them. The only thing you need to worry about is to go to the academy as soon as possible to complete your studies.

Then come back and get married to increase the population of my Star Clan. This was originally your father's responsibility, but he left for so many years irresponsibly, so you need to help him complete his mission." Green rudely interrupted his endless arrangements.

"I have something to say about increasing the population. I don't mind having a few more uncles or aunts."

"roll···"

Lin Xingchen was lying in the spacious carriage, feeling very uncomfortable. If the old man had not been suffering from menopause and was determined to take him to the royal capital, he would not have wanted to move at all.

As a semi-homebody, I only go out to get some fresh air, and my own bed is the safest place.

Just when he was about to study the elf book George gave him, Arnold's voice came from outside the car window, saying that Avril invited her to play cards.

Since I went out seven days ago, I met Avril and her friends who were returning to the capital with goods two days after I went out.

With a companion on the road, they didn't feel bored. After Lin Xingchen took out the specially made playing cards to teach the four golden flowers of the royal capital, they became addicted.

"Grandpa Arnold, please help me refuse! Also, tell them that I need to report to the academy early, and I will go first and play with them when we get to the capital."

Arnold went out for a short while and came back soon, saying that the work had been done and then drove the carriage all the way.

It takes about forty days to travel from Maple Leaf Territory to the capital by carriage. Perhaps because he was delayed by Avril and the others, Arnold traveled at the fastest speed throughout the journey except for necessary rests.

It took a total of thirty-five days to reach the royal capital. Lin Xingchen finally felt relieved when he got off the carriage with a pale face.

"My young master, this is the residence of our Maple Leaf Territory in the capital."

I looked up at the house. It was very well built and looked very comfortable.

"I want to have a good sleep for three days. Don't disturb me if nothing happens."

This was the first stern instruction Lin Xingchen gave to his servants after arranging everything, and then he fell asleep.

He was told to sleep for three days, but he woke up hungry at noon the next day. Only after eating a hot meal did Lin Xingchen feel like he was alive again.

"Young master, do you want to go out for a walk? The royal capital is still very lively." Arnold asked with concern.

"Okay! It would be a shame not to go and take a look around the capital. By the way, what's the address of Grandpa Arnold? If I get lost, I can ask for directions."

Standing at the intersection of the empire's most prosperous downtown, Lin Xingchen's first impression of the long queue of people coming and going was still a good one.

There were all kinds of shops with a wide variety of goods, but unfortunately, they didn't have what he needed.

Now he just wanted to find a barber shop to cut his almost-long hair. Lin Xingchen missed the freshness and convenience of short hair very much, but unfortunately Green did not allow him to cut his hair. He could trim it but not cut it short.

In Maple Leaf Territory, it was usually Linda who helped him take care of his hair. Although there were servants in the royal capital, Lin Xingchen still did it himself.

I found a hairband and used it to tie up my hair. I originally wanted to make a ponytail, but it ended up being a bun.

After asking around, I found out that barber shops are extremely rare, and the nearest one is right in this downtown area.

Lin Xingchen kept looking around along the way, feeling a bit like a headless fly. While he was looking for a barber shop, he didn't know that he had already become a bumpkin in the eyes of others.
