Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 329: The Transvestite Mr. Lin

After losing Xu Jianan, the Xu family quickly fell apart. Xu Jianan's wife, Mrs. Li, went crazy, and those concubines took the Xu family's valuables and disappeared without a trace.

The entire Xu family is now just an empty shell.

Xu Yaozu had no choice but to cheer up and support this crumbling family. Even if Li didn't want her, she had to keep his son who couldn't give birth to grandchildren.

From that day on, all officials became more polite to the common people. Even the yamen runners, who were always yelled at for everything, became more polite to the common people.

It seemed like I suddenly understood what respect was.

Such changes were made silently, and even without the need for Emperor Xuan to issue a special order, officials would automatically restrain themselves and their servants.

Xu Jinyu was a little confused by this change, and he was still muttering in the court room.

[Master Lin took the wrong medicine. He didn't bargain when buying things and even gave tips. ]

Emperor Xuan's ears pricked up. Every day when he went to court, what he liked to listen to most was the gossip that Xu Jinyu accidentally leaked. This way, he didn't feel bored at all during court sessions.

However, isn’t it basic to give tips when buying things?

Suddenly Emperor Xuan remembered that Lord Lin was well-known in the court for his integrity. He was extremely stingy in his daily life, and even when giving gifts to his colleagues, he would just give them a pair of his own calligraphy.

You are not a master of calligraphy, so who cares about your handwriting?

If they were not officials in the same dynasty, the families who received the gifts would have thrown away Lord Lin’s calligraphy because they could not save their face.

When Lord Lin heard Xu Jinyu's inner voice, his whole body trembled: Lord Xu, my ancestor, I really don't want to be exposed.

[Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? A sesame cake only costs a few coins, but you forced them to cut the price in half, selling you a sesame cake and giving you another one as compensation. And you always buy it on days when you go to court. The couple who sell sesame cakes are so angry that they pray that you will fall down and break your legs when you leave, so that you can't go to their house to buy sesame cakes.]

"Cough cough cough..."

Emperor Xuan's throat was so itchy.

Lord Lin's face turned red.

Although he was stingy, he really didn't want everyone to know.

The officials around Lord Lin couldn't help laughing. They knew that Lord Lin was honest and lived a simple life, but they didn't expect that he was so simple as to haggle over a few cents with a peddler who made a living.

"Brother Lin, where is your money? Your salary is quite a lot. I heard that your wife also has a large dowry. How did you fall to this point?"

Lord Lin blushed slightly, as if he was shy at being praised. "As a man, my salary is not much to begin with, so how can I have the nerve to use your wife's dowry? Of course, I tried to save as much as possible."

"Lord Lin is truly a great man." The officials around Lord Lin were also very tactful and praised him repeatedly.

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but nodded. What Daqian needed was such an honest official. Why not give Lin Qingsheng a promotion?

next moment,

[Where did his salary go? A fifth-rank official gets a lot of money. His wife also gives him several hundred taels of silver every month as social expenses. Could it be that he went to a brothel? Brothels and casinos are the fastest way to spend money.]

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but gnashing his teeth. Couldn't Xu Jinyu just speak properly? There were so many twists and turns, it would really hurt one's waist.

The smile on Lord Lin's face disappeared. Lord Xu, it's a ball! Give me a way to live.

[Ah, I really went to a brothel. I spent all my money there, and then I bargained with the vendors for a few cents. It's really...]

Civil and military officials: Here it comes, here it comes, the underwear-stripping project is here again.

Congratulations to Mr. Lin for winning the prize today.

The attendant standing in the corner of the room put down what he was writing, picked up another notebook, and began writing quickly.

"Lin Qing, a fifth-rank official, saves money by eating sesame cakes every day in order to go to the brothel. He is even unwilling to buy them at the original price, but buys them at a discount. The sesame cake owner is furious and curses Lord Lin to fall down..."

He wrote freely and with a smile on his face, which was his motivation to go to court every day.

[No, Lin Qing's purpose of going to the brothel is different from others'! ]

What's the difference!

All the civil and military officials rolled their eyes. No matter what the people who went to the brothel were thinking, what they said were all high-sounding words.

Isn't the most important purpose to covet the girl's body?

Food, sex and nature are part of human nature. If you don't go to a brothel for the girls, then what could it be for?

Could it be that you want to be a saint and educate the girls in the brothel?

Xu Jinyu widened her round eyes, trying not to show her surprise too obviously.

【Ah! He went to the brothel to ask for advice.】

"consult?"

An official could not help but whispered, and the next moment, a lewd expression appeared on his face: "Could it be that Lord Lin is unable to do well in bed, so he asked the girls in the brothel for advice on how to please his wife?"

"How could Lord Lin be that kind of person?" another official said, but the same obscene smile on his face told everyone that he definitely didn't think so.

Lin Qing's face had turned red, and she kept looking back, trying to stop Xu Jinyu.

But how could everyone let go of this finally happening, as they had an opportunity to have some fun without endangering their lives? They all blocked Lin Qing and allowed Lord Xu to talk about Lord Lin's romantic history to his heart's content.

[Please teach me how to put on makeup, how to match clothes, how to style hair, how to walk in a swaying manner, how to make people look pitiful...]

What does Lord Lin want to do!

This question was deafening in the minds of officials.

How come things take such a sudden turn? It's totally different from what everyone expected.

[What is he doing! If you want to learn this, there are plenty of maids in the palace, just hire one. These maids don’t have a good life in their old age, and they are happy to be invited to teach. Could it be that they dislike the high price of hiring a maid?]

[That's not right! A maid in the palace can work for a month for ten taels of silver, while a girl in a brothel can work for ten taels of silver for an hour. The cost-effectiveness is too far apart! ]

【grass! 】

[Mr. Lin learned by himself and used it by himself. It turned out that he had a cross-dressing fetish. He didn't like men's clothes, so he liked to wear women's clothes. He would even go out for a walk after getting dressed up to test whether he had learned enough.]

[Seeking advice from the women in the brothel was also to avoid the social circles of those maids. Most of these maids were young ladies from noble families. If those maids knew that I was learning these things, it might spread among the officials in the capital.]

"!!!"

Isn’t it so outrageous!

Lord Lin, you are an official, a fifth-rank official. Is it not okay for you to have some healthy hobbies?

Is it that the wine is not tasty, or the meat is not delicious? You actually like to pretend to be a woman.

[Well~~ this hobby is actually quite healthy, better than visiting brothels and drinking, but it is a bit expensive, Lin Qing spends all his money every month on buying clothes for himself. ]

[Hmm! No! There is also a bit of a useless lady. Mrs. Lin Qing accidentally discovered that her husband had sold a small courtyard outside and gave expensive clothes and jewelry to that courtyard. This made Mrs. Lin suspicious and even thought about divorce. ]

Lin Qing's eyes popped out: He doesn't want a divorce, he has a very good relationship with his wife, he really doesn't want a divorce.

[Finally, for the sake of the child, she decided to spare Lin Qing this time, but she still had to deal with the mistress, and planned to catch her husband in adultery when he went to the courtyard again.]

[What should I do? I really want to see it! But I don’t know when Master Lin will come to the courtyard again. ]

Lord Lin shook his head frantically: No! I won’t go even if I die! He has already died in the court, so he doesn’t want to die in front of his wife.

Suddenly, a burning gaze fell on Lin Qing. Lin Qing looked up and saw His Majesty's interested eyes.

Lin Qing: No! I still have to have some dignity.

Emperor Xuan: Go ahead! Let me see your wife's expression when she catches her husband cheating on her.

Lin Qing: Your Majesty! Please behave yourself!

Emperor Xuan: I am not a human being. I am the true dragon emperor.

Emperor Xuan summoned Eunuch Liu again and whispered a few words in his ear.

Eunuch Liu came to Lin Qing and whispered, "Master Lin, His Majesty said that as long as you go to that small courtyard after court, His Majesty will reward you with two dressing maids, and you won't have to dress yourself anymore."

Lin Qing said with a firm heart: No!

Eunuch Liu: "Plus three sets of tribute cosmetics."

Lin Qing: I am a little moved, but...

"I really can't. If my wife finds out..."

Eunuch Liu: "Add ten rolls of brocade specially provided for the royal family and a set of ruby ​​head ornaments."

"make a deal!"
