In this trend caused by paint, Lin Ping and the gang of noble children chose to retreat.

No matter what kind of hatred it was, as Zhu Shiwen splashed the pot of paint on Yang Bo's body, the evil breath in his chest also dissipated. The most important thing is that Lin is also preparing to leave the capital.

Under the strong persuasion of many officials, the emperor did not insist on southern flattery in the end.

For one, his body no longer allowed such a long journey; Second, the officials led by Xu Jie tried their best to dissuade them; Third, Hai Jui's security is still in his ears. Especially the last factor, if he insists on this move of working hard and hurting money, I am afraid that there will be a second Hai Rui who is not afraid of death and will jump out and scold him.

Perhaps this is a kind of sorrow of the emperor! No matter how much the emperor misses his hometown, the moment he steps into the Forbidden City, it is already difficult to leave.

It has been forty-five years since Jiajing ascended the throne, and it was only in the eighteenth year of Jiajing that he could take the opportunity to bury his mother to return to Anlu once, and this renunciation may be far away.

It's just unthinkable that this errand of giving "Xingdu Dazhi" and asking for medicine actually fell on Lin Pingping's head.

After Lin usually returned to the capital, he had been idle at home, and now he was personally appointed by the emperor to go to Chengtian Mansion to return the history books and ask for medicine.

Many people in the capital think that this is a kind of "protection" of Yang Bo by the emperor, but the deeper reason is probably because Jiajing has always believed that Lin is usually a girl who can bring him blessings.

It is precisely because of this, after a few months of leisure, Lin usually received a good errand.

Lin Mansion, in the pavilion in the back garden, the spring at this time is getting stronger.

After Lin Ping was entrusted with an important task by the emperor, Xu Jiao, Zhu Jinhua and others knew that Lin Ping would soon leave the capital again, but they followed her inseparably all day long.

After Zhu Shitai became famous in the paint incident, he was also like a young man's ambition, he looked vigorous when he walked, and his voice was several degrees higher when he talked and laughed with people.

Zhu Shiwen is a lot more introverted, even if some people already know that he is the "fierce man" who splashed Yang Bo's paint, but he still maintains his usual humble style.

It's mid-February, and the weather is a bit hot and humid at noon.

Zhu Shitai came to the pavilion on a spring day, found the teapot and teacup and drank it while pouring, and said to Xu Jiao at the same time: "Xu Jiao, the things you explained to me have been done for you!" ”

"Thank you!" Xu Jiao's eyes lit up slightly, revealing a good-looking tiger tooth.

Zhu Shitai poured another cup of tea into the white porcelain cup, and said to Lin Ping, who was playing backgammon with Zhu Jinhua: "Usually, you are about to leave Beijing, what should we do with the paint we hoarded earlier?" ”

"My brother casually told me at the time: you can stock up on paint. Why don't you keep the paint? Lin Ping's eyes kept staring at the chessboard, and after thinking about it, he made a move to block Zhu Jinhuadao.

Zhu Jinhua liked Lin usually taught her backgammon, so she happily played again. Since she met Lin Pingping, she has discovered that the world is so exciting, and one day is much more interesting than her previous year.

Zhu Shitai took another sip of tea, but frowned slightly and said, "This thing actually costs a lot of money, and I don't know if I can put it for a long time!" ”

This is a big truth, although they are not short of money in their hands, but in the end, they are juniors with pocket money, but the price of things like paint is really not cheap. If it is all broken after a long time, it is undoubtedly a big waste.

As he spoke, a servant hurried towards the place.

"What's the matter? Don't be in a hurry all day long, so that others still think that I am going to hold a funeral in the Chengguo Mansion! Zhu Shitai saw that it was his own servant, and immediately reprimanded him dissatisfied.

The servant faced the accusation, but he laughed and explained: "Young master, remember! Just now, the paint shopkeeper of Li Kee came to our house and said that the paint on the market is in short supply now, and he is willing to buy it back at four times the price! ”

Fourfold?

When they heard this, not only Zhu Shitai and the others were immediately dumbfounded, but Lin Pingping, who was concentrating on playing backgammon, also cast a surprised gaze.

They only spent a few thousand taels on hoarding paint, and if the paint shopkeeper was willing to buy it back for four times the price, then they could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Zhu Shitai came back to his senses and said seriously: "Is this really true? ”

"It's true! Now the stewards of various officials are begging to buy paint everywhere, especially red paint is the most sought-after, saying that there are people buying five times or ten times, and some people have even begged us to become a national government! The servant swallowed and said solemnly.

The paint splashing on the door had a butterfly effect, and because of this way of revenge, many rich children flocked to it.

Correspondingly, many wealthy and noble families have been splashed with paint, or they are trying to prevent problems before they happen, because they want to prepare paint in advance in case they are prepared.

In particular, those officials are even more reluctant to bear the charge of trespassing, even if they spend a lot of money, they cannot be discarded by others who make a fuss about the "yellow door".

Zhu Shitai thought about the silver he was going to earn this time, and couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly, turned his head to look at Lin Ping in disbelief and said, "You...... Can your brother expect this? ”

If splashing paint is a manifestation of cleverness, then being able to predict the rise in paint prices and let them stock up on paint in advance to make money, Lin Haoran is simply a prophet.

Xu Jiao and the others also looked at Lin Pingping, envying Lin Pingchang for having such a legendary brother.

"My brother must have expected it in advance!" Lin usually frowned slightly, but he was not very sure.

Xu Jiao and Lin are usually sisters, but they directly supported Lin Haoran and said: "If her brother hadn't expected the paint to skyrocket, then he wouldn't have let us hoard paint, do you really think that three steps and one is a pick-up?" ”

When Zhu Shiwen and the others heard this, they also nodded lightly, there is indeed and only this explanation.

Zhu Shitai actually knew that he was asking too much, and said to Lin Ping sincerely: "After this time, I can be regarded as admiring your brother so much!" After a pause, he added, "Hehe...... Many people outside say that your brother wants to bring down that licorice pavilion is always self-conscious, and I thought the same thing before, but now I think ...... Our Licorice Pavilion is always going to fall! ”

When Zhu Shiwen and the others heard this judgment, they also nodded very seriously, and they already had this judgment in their hearts.

It does not seem inconceivable that such a wise man, a man with the power of an unpredictable prophet, could really bring down the inactive Shousuke.

"My brother drew me a red coin: let me ignore political affairs, let's divide the silver!" Lin usually threw away the chess pieces in his hand, but said with a sweet smile.

When Zhu Shitai and the others heard about the money, their eyebrows immediately danced. They never expected that this time they not only used paint to vent their grievances, but also made tens of thousands of taels of silver through the paint turmoil.

Although Lin usually got a lot of money, she insisted that everyone was adding to five, but it made Xu Jiao and Zhu Jinhua, who didn't have much private money, more generous.

Lin usually glanced in the direction of the household yamen when everyone was happily dividing the money.

Although she always knew that her brother was fighting with Xu Jie, she wanted to help her brother do more things, and wanted to help her brother bring down Xu Jie's bad guy, but she also knew that there were some things that she could not mix.

Now, she can only silently cheer for her brother, just like her brother participated in the imperial examination back then.
