Chapter 27 Assassination



But Lin Xingchen didn't want to pay attention to her, so he sent her to wash the dishes and sat down with Avril under the shade of the tree at the door to chat.

"The delivery went smoothly this time, right?" Lin Xingchen asked softly as he ran over a pot of tea and poured a cup for Avril.

“Well, nothing happened along the way, and the goods were delivered safely, but the subsequent goods will be a bit troublesome.

"In fact, I have always had an idea. If this idea can be successful, I think your cargo transportation will be much easier in the future."

Of course, I'll talk about all this after I get back! By the way, what do you think about the silk business? Once such a business is launched, you can't let it down.

"You also said that this is a big business, so I will naturally do my best to do this, please rest assured."

"Lin, I wonder if you are free this afternoon. I would like to invite you to come to my United Rose place. My sisters have always wanted to play cards with you and listen to your stories."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I'll go with you to see them and relax."

Evelyn and Roy were washing dishes in the cabin, and when they saw Lin Xingchen and Avril leave together, they were so angry that they smashed the dishes.

Fortunately, the bowls and plates fell into the water. Roy checked and found that they were not damaged, so he felt relieved.

“Evelyn, I don’t think you’re doing this right.”

"Aren't I allowed to be angry?"

"Lin must have something going on when he went out with that lady. You also said that Ms. Avril is a business partner of Lin and she is very important to Lin, otherwise you wouldn't have brought her here."

"My mother said that the most important quality of a wife is to be able to stay calm. No matter what your husband does outside, he will naturally come back when he is tired, and no one can take you away from him at that time."

"That's why those young noble men like to play so much. For them, when they have played enough, it's time to get married."

"Do you think so too? My mother said so too, and Grandpa Green also had this intention when he sent him to the capital, to let him see the outside world and go back when he is tired."

“Evelyn, if you really like him, then you should make yourself excellent. You also said that he is so excellent that you feel like an ordinary little girl when you are with him. If that’s the case, then you have to work hard. I think you can do it.”

"Roy, how do you know this? Didn't you say you were a civilian?"

"Yes, I am a commoner but I also want to become a noble so that my family in the countryside can live a good life."

"Yes, I can't let others outdo me."

"Your girlfriend seems very unhappy today. Will she cry if you leave with me?"

"Evelyn grew up surrounded by praise and never suffered any hardship or loss. Sometimes setbacks and blows can help people grow."

After a few chuckles, Avril said jokingly, "She's older than you. Why are you talking like an adult coaxing a child? And aren't you praising her for growing up? I think you look more like a mature man who has experienced a lot of things, not a boy who is less than sixteen years old."

"Age is not a problem. What matters is the mentality. In fact, my heart is like that of a 40-year-old mature man, so I won't be like those young people who want everyone to know about their achievements."

"You know what! I now feel more and more that the evaluation of you by the residents of Maple Leaf Territory is really appropriate."

"Can you tell me what they think of me?"

"The most un-noble aristocrat."

"What kind of evaluation is this? I don't quite understand."

The horse walked very fast and arrived at the destination in no time.

After helping Avril get out of the car, the two of them entered the Chamber of Commerce together. The United Rose Chamber of Commerce was located in a busy and prosperous city.

Seeing Avril coming, many people in the store greeted her.

Looking at the many products in the store, they are all things that only rich and powerful people like.

"What do you think of my place?"

"It's a nice place, but I think you're doing some of the wrong business. You could make more money from some of the business."

No matter how big a house is, it has an end. The two people were talking and they had reached the stairs.

At this time, the other three members of United Rose had also arrived downstairs.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Little guy, you're finally here. If you don't come here again, we'll have two more complaining women."

"Then I wonder if one of these two complaining women is Sister Eddie or Sister Gerald, or maybe both." When faced with a woman's teasing, you must fight back or you will suffer later.

"If we were twenty years younger, we would have become resentful women a long time ago. But Anna and Avril will become the husband-waiting stones in your mouth." Gerard fought back without showing any weakness.

"It's hard to say about love matters. Height is not a distance and age is not a problem." She said with a blink.

"Little thing, come and talk to me when you are an adult."

Although he repeatedly reminded himself that he was not living in an era where men and women were open, Lin Xingchen sometimes still couldn't help but use the old way of speaking. Although it was very rude here, he now had the capital to be casual.

"Okay, sisters, stop arguing with him. You will definitely suffer in the end." Anna saw the people arguing and interrupted them quickly. They found some seats downstairs and sat down to chat.

The fact that several ladies were surrounding a man with outstanding looks was eye-catching in itself, not to mention that the ladies were constantly laughing and this attracted even more attention.

"Lin, before you left last time, you said you would play music for me when you had the chance. Today is the chance, so you can't lie to us again."

Since they became familiar with each other, Eddie and others were not so restrained anymore.

"I am a man of my words. Since you want to listen, I will perform for you." As he said this, a bamboo flute appeared in his hand. After thinking for a while, he finally chose a tune.

The flute has a clear, loud, and melodious sound. It is an instrument that Lin Xingchen likes very much. Most importantly, it is relatively simple to make.

The song "Daughter's Love" is full of twists and turns, gentle and romantic. Although the flute is not the best choice, Lin Xingchen still played it.

Good music will always resonate with the ears of those who know what it is, and as an aristocrat, the cultivation of music is a very important part of one's life.

The entire Chamber of Commerce was mostly filled with nobles and people of status. When Lin Xingchen played the flute, everyone consciously stopped talking and listened to this classic tune.

Imagining the scenery of Dali and the story of Monkey King during his childhood, Lin Xingchen himself was fascinated by the tunes and lyrics.

After several minutes of melody, it finally came to an end. Putting down the flute, Lin Xingchen looked at Anna's intoxicated eyes and quickly lowered his head to avoid her.

I don’t know who will be the first to applaud, so it’s natural to be polite at this time, although Lin Xingchen didn’t want to do this.

"Thank you, everyone."

"It's a very beautiful piece of music, and I've never heard it before. I wonder if I have the honor to know the name of this piece of music?" At this time, a woman in her fifties came forward and asked softly.

"Lin, this is the best etiquette teacher in our capital, Ms. Merlin. It can be said that most of the nobles in the capital have studied in her school."

"Hello, Madam Meilin. This piece of music is called Daughter's Love, and it was composed by Master Jingqing Xu."

"I wonder where this master is. I really want to see him." Teacher Merlin said longingly.

"I will be sure to mention today's request to you if I get a chance."

"I wonder if this gentleman has any other songs, and if he could play one for us."

"Then I'll change to another instrument. I have another tune that I like very much." As he said this, he took out the flute from the space.

“This piece of music would have been better with accompaniment, but it’s hard to find right now, so I’ll just play a few of the key passages.”

"This piece of music is called 'Original Scenery of Hometown' and was composed by a master named Sojiro." The transverse flute and the vertical flute each have their own strengths, and this long and relatively long bamboo flute is the first choice.

After the song ended, applause broke out again, and Mrs. Merlin was even more cheerful. "This song, just like its name, makes people feel like they are in a field. It is completely different from the song "Daughter's Love" in style."

"Although it may be a bit rude, we really hope that you can bring us new music." When the etiquette man said this, everyone felt a little embarrassed. They probably wanted to listen but felt it was too much.

"I also like people to listen to me play these songs. If you want to listen, I'm playing one now."

He picked up the flute again and said with a smile, "This song is called Laughing in the Red Dust. It is also one I like very much and the tune is more cheerful."

The rhythm of the music is cheerful and lively, and when it is played continuously, the whole mood also becomes uplifted along with the tune.

This time, Mrs. Merlin did not ask for anything more. She thanked him and slowly left.

"I didn't expect that you can not only cook delicious dishes, but also play music so well." Avril's eyes sparkled with an incomparable excitement.

"I know a lot of things. I can learn something different every day without repeating myself in a month." It is certainly not excessive to brag a little at this time.

Happy times are always short. The few of them chatted about all sorts of things. When everyone left, Lin Xingchen also planned to go back.

Avril and Anna sent Lin Xingchen to the door. It was already dark outside, with only a thin crescent moon in the sky providing some light.

"Really don't need me to take my carriage back?" Anna asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I remember the way and I also want to walk alone." Lin Xingchen waved his hand and walked into the darkness alone.

There was a forest on the way back, and Lin Xingchen slowly walked into the forest. "I don't know who sent these mice."
