Chapter 128: Welfare comes at a price
Chu Xiang smiled and smiled: "I think too much, I just want to say that it is rare to make such a large table of dishes in such a short time." ”
Lin Ximiao: "......"
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
Lin Ximiao grinded her teeth hatefully.
But Chu Xiangmiao didn't look at her anymore, but sat directly in front of the dining table and began to taste the delicious food of this big table.
He sandwiched a piece of ginger duck into his mouth, and was immediately conquered by the delicious taste.
"I didn't expect you to cook this meal in a little shorter, but the taste is not bad at all." Chu Xiangmiao said and sandwiched a piece of the entrance again.
His reaction was expected by Lin Ximiao.
She is still very confident in her cooking skills.
Lin Ximiao smiled, sat down with the others, and began to eat.
The day passed quickly.
In the evening, Lin Ximiao received a prompt from the system.
"Mission accomplished, rewards have been distributed."
Lin Ximiao had already changed into her middle coat and was ready to sleep, but when she heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, quickly got out of bed, put on a coat indiscriminately, and then ran towards the ground.
Soon, she saw a huge object standing in her field from a distance.
Look at the shape, it is the out-of-season greenhouse that she has in mind!
When she walked to the front, Lin Ximiao found that the greenhouse had been built and covered, but it used a lot of things that should not appear in this era at all.
Lin Ximiao's heart was a little empty.
She knows these things, but the others don't.
If asked, how do you answer?
Although the ancients had limited vision, they were not stupid.
What if the ancients felt that something was wrong?
Will you burn her to death as a monster?
Lin Ximiao's mind suddenly flashed through the scenes in many costume dramas she watched in her previous life.
The ancients were ignorant, and they were often accustomed to deifying things that they couldn't explain, and then killing and sacrificing the unlucky guy who did what they couldn't explain.
She wouldn't, and that was going to happen, right?
The more Lin Ximiao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her whole person was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
At this time, Lin Xiyue passed by.
Lin Ximiao saw it and hurriedly beckoned to Lin Xiyue: "Yue'er, here!" ”
"Sister, why are you here? Is there something wrong? Lin Xiyue felt inexplicable.
Lin Ximiao asked rhetorically: "Then why are you here?" ”
Lin Xiyue said: "I ate too much at night, and I was a little supportive, so I went out for a walk to eliminate food." You, don't you want to eat too? I remember, you didn't seem to eat much at night. ”
Lin Ximiao had no choice but to say, "I'...... I feel that I can't sleep, I want to come out to move, I am tired from the activity, and I naturally fall asleep when I go back, right? ”
This is a valid reason.
Lin Xiyue heard it, and she really didn't doubt it.
Seeing this, Lin Ximiao hurriedly asked, "By the way, look at these big sheds in the field...... Where did this come from? ”
Lin Xiyue's face was unusual: "Oh, this, this is what the Ninth Master made during the day." ”
Lin Ximiao felt more and more incredible, and asked: "Look at this shed, take a closer look, we have never seen this material, aren't you curious?" Well? Don't have any other ideas? ”
Lin Xiyue asked rhetorically: "Please, sister, what should I think?" ”
Lin Ximiao was directly asked.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyue said again: "Who is the ninth master?" He is a dignified prince! With his identity, does he want any strange things? ”
For a while, Lin Ximiao felt that there was nothing wrong with this.
"It seems to be right, no matter what he takes out, it's normal."
Lin Xiyue nodded: "That's it!" If anyone thinks that the things that the Ninth Master took out are abnormal, it must be that he himself has no knowledge! ”
Lin Ximiao had to admit that what Lin Xiyue, the little girl, said seemed to be very reasonable.
But having said that, she still felt a sense of shame.
Only...... Still too young, too simple, I didn't expect that a person's identity could bring such great benefits.
Lin Ximiao sighed twice in her heart, but soon, her mind was occupied by another thing.
She was even more curious, why was the task of the system released by Chu Xiangmiao again?
No, these two people, oh no, what is the connection between this person and a system, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Ximiao herself felt funny.
She is the only bound host of the system, how can the system hook up with others again?
Moreover, Chu Ximiao is an ancient, even if the system wants to find it, it should find someone like her who has modern thoughts, not an ancient person with old ideas.
Lin Ximiao was wondering in her heart, at this time, the master who raised carrier pigeons came over.
"Miss Lin, the carrier pigeon has been raised, if you are free, why don't you go over and have a look together?" The master who keeps carrier pigeons said.
Before Lin Ximiao could speak, Lin Xiyue, who was on the side, suddenly came to her senses.
"Really? Already raised? Sister, what are you waiting for, take me to see it! Lin Xiyue pulled Lin Ximiao's sleeve and begged.
Under Lin Xiyue's prodding, Lin Ximiao couldn't help but feel curious.
But in front of outsiders, she still has to pretend to be reserved.
Lin Ximiao said: "Since that's the case, let's go over and take a look together." ”
Although she was serious, Lin Ximiao still couldn't hide her excited look.
It is worthy of being sent by Chu Ximiao, this pigeon master is very skilled.
Lin Ximiao took Lin Xiyue, a little girl, and this time it was really a feast for her eyes.
After watching the pigeon show, it was not early, it was already ten in the evening.
Lin Ximiao and Lin Xiyue returned to the house, fell asleep and forgot about it completely.
Early the next morning, Lin Ximiao remembered what she had promised Bai Youling, so she ran to the mountainside early with the pigeon and personally sent the pigeon to Bai Youling.
When Bai Youling heard that Lin Ximiao was coming, she was still a little puzzled at first, after all, they had just met recently.
After seeing the pigeons brought by Lin Ximiao, he was immediately surprised and delighted.
"Oh my God, you actually brought me the pigeons! And so fast! I'm so happy, I don't know how to thank you. Bai Youling's eyes were firmly glued to the pigeons brought by Lin Ximiao, obviously, she was more interested in pigeons now than Lin Ximiao.
Lin Ximiao smiled: "Between us, do we still need to be so different?" It's just a few pigeons. ”
"How can it be the same? This is no ordinary pigeon! Bai Youling said, and began to simulate the call of a pigeon, teasing quietly.
"I've only heard of this kind of thing before, but today is the first time I've seen it, after all, I'm really stained with you this time!" Otherwise, she might never see a pigeon like this for the rest of her life.
"Well, by the way, you haven't told me how to train pigeons, these pigeons are so precious, I have to learn how to raise them, but I must not let them slip up the slightest."
Lin Ximiao then called the master of the pigeon training to him, and performed again for Bai Youling and others halfway up the mountain.
When Mr. Tian rushed over when he heard the news, he happened to see the picture of the master of the pigeon tamer performing.
Old Man Tian and the others were directly stunned, and after a short period of surprise, they all applauded and applauded, and they were very happy to watch.
"It's the first time my old man has seen such a wonderful pigeon taming performance, big girl, we really followed you to a big light, a feast for the eyes!" Old Man Tian couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Ximiao smiled: "It's just a few pigeons, don't say that." Besides, this pigeon was given to you, and what you will develop in the future depends on yourself, and whether you can see such performances often in the future is also up to you, so you really don't need to be so polite with me. ”
Lin Ximiao's words made Bai Youling and Old Man Tian and others more and more grateful to her.
"That's a mistake, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to raise this carrier pigeon, right?" Old Man Tian asked with a smile, and a pair of eyes smiled a lot of folds.
However, this did not make him seem vicissitudes of life, but made him feel more kind.
Seeing this, Bai Youling also nodded again and again: "That's right, what Old Man Tian said is very right, if it weren't for you, how could we have such an opportunity?" ”
"You guys are really ......" Seeing this, Lin Ximiao smiled helplessly, and then simply said: "Okay, okay, let's not continue to be humble to each other, okay?" If you still have any questions, while the master of the pigeon breeder is still there, hurry up and ask, after this village, there may not be this shop in the future. ”
After all, this pigeon master was lent to her by Chu Xiangmiao, and she can't tell when they will go back.
When Bai Youling and Old Man Tian and the others heard this, they immediately didn't care about continuing to be polite to Lin Ximiao, so they hurried to the master who raised pigeons and asked questions.
Seeing this, Lin Ximiao didn't bother them.
She stood quietly and looked around.
But looking at it, she suddenly noticed a problem.
It seems that she hasn't seen Lin Huancheng much in the past few times?
With this question, Lin Ximiao waited patiently for a while.
When Bai Youling, Old Man Tian and the others were finally embarrassed to continue to ask questions about the master of Xiangzi, Lin Ximiao pulled Bai Youling aside.
"What's wrong? But what's wrong? Bai Youling asked curiously.
"I'm just a little curious, why didn't I seem to see Lin Huancheng? Do you know what he's been up to lately? ”
This question made Bai Youling show a slightly stunned expression.
Bai Youling asked, "Why don't you know?" The Ninth Prince recently sent a master over to teach the children kung fu, and Lin Huancheng's roots were particularly good, so he was taken away to teach them alone. ”
This news surprised Lin Ximiao.
She really didn't expect that Chu Xiangmiao would do these things without her knowing.
For a while, her feelings for Chu Xiangmiao in her heart changed a lot.
Perhaps, she was too biased before?
Lin Ximiao's thoughts couldn't help but be a little fluctuating for a while, and she didn't notice the respect on Bai Youling's face at all.
I only heard Bai Youling say with a small mouth: "I really didn't expect that a person with such a noble status as the Ninth Master would have such a heart for our people, and it is really a blessing for the people of the whole country to have such an existence in the royal family!" The most important thing is that he is really good to the people under him, you see that the Ninth Master treats your Lin family, I am afraid that I will never find such a good master in the world! ”
Listening to Bai Youling's words, Lin Ximiao couldn't help but snort twice.
She doesn't deny that Chu Xiangmiao is a person, and he really does things, he is indeed quite reliable, and he also has two brushes.
However, it's not as good as Bai Youling's boasting?
Bai Youling's praise made Lin Ximiao a little suspicious.
This Chu Xiangmiao is not the only Lin family under his subordinates, why would he be so concerned about them?
Bai Youling still wanted to pull her to continue talking, but Lin Ximiao really didn't want to continue to listen to these unnutritious words.
Anyway, she came out this time just to send carrier pigeons to Bai Youling and Old Man Tian and others.
Since the carrier pigeon has been successfully delivered, and the master who raised the carrier pigeon has also taught them how to raise it, it is considered a complete success.
Lin Ximiao didn't stay too long, and soon, he returned to the mountain.
After going back, Lin Ximiao went directly to Lin Xuanhe's house.
The only thing she wants to do now is to quickly find Chu Xiangmiao and ask clearly!
It's just that before she could enter the door, she heard the sound of Chu Xiangmiao and the dice master and servant talking in the courtyard.
It turned out to be about Chu Xiangmiao's subordinates.
Lin Ximiao thought for a moment, thought about it, found a corner where no one was around, and looked at hiding in the dark and listening.
After a while, she was suddenly extremely glad that she didn't go directly into the house to find Chu Xiangmiao.
Because she had just heard it clearly!
The people are so miserable, it doesn't mean that they are good to their Lin family at all, but that they are good to everyone under them!
Thinking of her previous childish thoughts, Lin Ximiao couldn't help but feel very embarrassed.
Before the relationship, she was self-inflicted!
Thinking of this, Lin Ximiao felt a little hot on her face, she was embarrassed to stay here and listen to the corner anymore, so she hurriedly stepped on small steps and quietly left.
After going back, Lin Ximiao still felt a little reluctant to think about it again.
Along the way, Chu Xiangmiao has helped himself and the Lin family too much, and he still has the heart to doubt others, which is really undeserved.
Although Chu Xiangmiao didn't know about this matter, she felt in her heart that perhaps, she should make some compensation to make up for her mistakes?
With this kind of thought, Lin Ximiao thought about it, the only thing she could do now was to compensate Chu Xiangmiao more in terms of food.
After all, Chu Xiangmiao said very clearly, people came up to the mountain this time just to eat the dishes she cooked.
Lin Ximiao made up her mind to show Chu Xiangmiao's cooking skills.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the rapid change.
In the evening, when Lin Ximiao decided to roll up her sleeves and do a big job, she unexpectedly learned that Chu Xiangmiao had gone down the mountain.
Lin Ximiao suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
However, this kind of thinking is only known to herself, and she is not good at talking to others about it.
Lin Ximiao began to prepare dinner with a sullen heart.
Now that Chu Xiangmiao has left, Lin Ximiao has no intention of showing off her cooking skills.
She casually cooked a few dishes, and the family ate together.
The others were still in their usual state, only Lin Ximiao felt a little absent-minded.
It's just that the others didn't notice.
At this time, Lin Xuanhe suddenly sighed: "This person, I just can't have too many extravagant hopes, I originally wanted to study with the Ninth Master for a few more days, but who would have thought that the Ninth Master would leave so quickly!" Hey, I don't know when the next time I'll see the Ninth Master. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xuanhe couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Lin Ximiao watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She is the one who has the most contact with Chu Xiangmiao among all of them.
But on the contrary, she didn't feel that Chu Xiangmiao was as good as others.
On the other hand, is this the beauty of distance?
Just because she had too many opportunities to contact Chu Xiangmiao, she was not bewitched by Chu Xiangmiao like others?
Thinking of this, Lin Ximiao couldn't help but feel a strong desire to complain.
However, now Lin Xuanhe and others have been successfully brainwashed by Chu Xiangmiao and have become diehard fans of Chu Xiangmiao.
If she told these people that Chu Xiangmiao was not good, she was afraid that not only would she not get a response, but she would lead to a war.
Lin Ximiao thought about it, but decided to forget it.
She also has a good target to complain about.
It's the system!
Compared with others, although the system often says good things about Chu Xiangmiao, it is not as exaggerated as others.
Lin Ximiao made up her mind and took the initiative to contact the system in her mind.
"System, are you there?" Lin Ximiao asked tentatively.
"Something?" The system's reply came quickly.
"It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you." Lin Ximiao laughed twice.
is about to be familiar with the system, and the system listened to her words, and suddenly said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "What bad things do you want to say?" ”
Lin Ximiao: "...... How do you know it's a bad thing? Don't you think I have something good to share with you? ”
The system said coldly: "First, you have good things, but you can't think of sharing them with me, and second, the tone of your voice just now has said everything. ”
When Lin Ximiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel the urge to grind her teeth.
However, this style of speaking is also the usual style of the system.
Anyway, this broken system is not the first time to talk to herself in this tone, Lin Ximiao feels that she shouldn't be angry with something that is not human.
"What the hell do you have to say?" Seeing that she didn't reply, the system was somewhat impatient.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Lin Ximiao hurriedly said, "I just want to talk to you about Chu Xiangmiao!" ”
