With Fan Ruoruo stepping in, Liu Ruyu naturally would not make things difficult for Ling Xiao. Under Fan Ruoruo's arrangements, Ling Xiao and the other two were quickly arranged to stay.
Sisi and Dong 'er cleaned up the room, but Ling Xiao went to Fan Ruoruo's room. He remembered that the original book had introduced a sword in Fan Ruoruo's room. It was Sigu Jian's sword. Ling Xiao happened to not have a suitable weapon, so he had his eyes on this sword.
The sword was a gentleman among weapons. As a graceful young man, Ling Xiao naturally chose to use a sword as his weapon.
...
Count Sinan's study.
After Ling Xiao settled down, he went to meet Fan Jian. After all, this was his father in name.
Compared to the Qing Emperor's real father, Ling Xiao was closer to Fan Jian, his nominal father.
Thinking back to the original novel, Fan Jian loved Fan Xian very much. Although he was not his own, he was more like his own. In order to protect Fan Xian, Fan Jian had sacrificed his own son.
Calling Fan Jian 'father' really made sense.
Fan Jian was at a loss when Ling Xiao called him 'father', but he still agreed in pleasant surprise.
Fan Jian summoned Ling Xiao to persuade him to agree to the marriage with Lin Wan 'er so that he could smoothly take over the palace treasury's financial power.
" Alright, Father can arrange this matter as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible." Ling Xiao didn't refuse at all. When he thought of Lin Wan 'er, he actually couldn't wait to see her.
If he married Lin Wan 'er, not only would he get a beautiful wife, but he would also get the power of the palace treasury and take back the blood and sweat that belonged to his mother, Ye Qingmei.
Moreover, marrying Lin Wan 'er was equivalent to having a relationship with Prime Minister Lin Ruofu.
Ling Xiao's enemy was not ordinary. He was the Qing Emperor, the leader of the Four Grandmasters. In this way, he could kill three birds with one stone. Why not?
" Arrange for another person to come over. I'm still lacking two guards," Ling Xiao said to Fan Jian after the wedding was over.
"Didn't you bring a killer from the prosecutor's office? Why do you need guards?”Fan Jian asked.
" I still have other uses for Teng Zijing. Anyway, arrange a guard for me. I'll be using him tomorrow." Ling Xiao naturally knew that he could not hide Teng Zijing's matter from an old fox like Fan Jian, so he decided to get straight to the point.
Ling Xiao's target was the Gundam in the original novel!
" Alright, I'll arrange for someone to report to you tomorrow. If you're not satisfied, you can change." Fan Jian had no reason to object to such a small matter. After pondering for a moment, he agreed.
By the time the conversation ended, it was already evening, and it was time for dinner. Fan Jian brought Ling Xiao to eat.
During the meal, Ling Xiao used Housekeeper Zhou and Teng Zijing's matter to manipulate Liu Ruyu. In order to get rid of suspicion, Liu Ruyu immediately became obedient.
Fan Jian was a die-hard fan of his mother, Ye Qingmei, and Fan Ruoruo was Ling Xiao's fan. Fan Sizhe was now following Ling Xiao's lead.
With that, the entire Zhi Manor had been cleared by Ling Xiao.
The dinner ended in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. Everyone bid farewell and returned to their rooms. Ling Xiao also went to bed with Sisi and Dong 'er serving him.
Lying on the fragrant bed, thinking about Lin Wan 'er, whom he had seen during the day, Ling Xiao quickly fell asleep.
Just as Ling Xiao and Lin Wan 'er entered the marriage hall in their dreams, another round of verbal warfare broke out in the palace.
The Eldest Princess was first summoned to the Empress Dowager's side and had Hong Siku give her a big slap.
Following that, the Eldest Princess was summoned by the Qing Emperor and reprimanded.
Even the Crown Prince was reprimanded by the Qing Emperor.
After bidding farewell to the Qing Emperor, the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince plotted. In order to prevent Ling Xiao and Lin Wan 'er from successfully getting married, they set up another plot to ruin Ling Xiao's reputation.
However, Ling Xiao had already prepared for this.
The next morning, Ling Xiao woke up from his dream and continued his daily morning exercise. After that, he ate breakfast.
" I've already arranged for you to meet him. You can meet him after dinner," Fan Jian suddenly said as he was eating his porridge.
" Got it. Thank you, Father," Ling Xiao replied immediately.
After a hasty breakfast, Ling Xiao brought Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe out of the manor. It had been decided yesterday that Fan Sizhe would treat Ling Xiao to a meal to welcome him to the capital.
When they left the mansion, Teng Zijing and Wang Qinian were already waiting at the door for a long time. Besides them, there was also a young man. After asking, they found out that this person's name was Gao Da, and he was the person Ling Xiao liked.
The group of six sat in the carriage and left. In the carriage, Fan Ruoruo carefully peeled the skin of the grapes and happily fed the fruit to Ling Xiao. She was never tired of it.
Ling Xiao was also very satisfied with this sister in name. She was proficient in all four arts and could be said to be the number one talented woman in the capital.
Most importantly, this number one talent was his treasure trove of movement skills.
This morning, Fan Ruoruo came to Ling Xiao's room after washing up. Ling Xiao clicked on the check-in button and unexpectedly drew Fan Ruoruo's calligraphy skill.
As a transmigrator, Ling Xiao's calligraphy was naturally very ordinary. He could not bear to look at it directly. Because of this, he was often written off in Fan Ruoruo's letters. Now that he had Fan Ruoruo's calligraphy, he could finally show it.
The carriage soon arrived at Yishi Tavern. Fan Sizhe was treating today, so he naturally chose the largest restaurant in the capital.
It didn't matter if the food was good or not. At the very least, it had to be the most expensive!
After all, Ling Xiao had given Fan Sizhe full authority over the management of the White Deer Institute.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Ruyu was willing to bury the hatchet with Ling Xiao.
Just plagiarizing the Three Kingdoms had already brought Ling Xiao an immeasurable profit. It was as high as hundreds of thousands of snowflakes and silver. It could be said to be a huge profit.
Even though the Three Kingdoms 'profits had been greatly reduced due to the fact that they had been completely wiped out, the current Dream of the Red Chamber had begun to continuously provide them with a huge amount of wealth.
By the time 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was completed, he had obtained another hundred thousand snowflake silver.
Even if the Three Kingdoms and 'Dream of the Red Chamber' were finished, Ling Xiao could still continue to plagiarize the other two masterpieces.
In fact, the four great masterpieces of China should be the six great masterpieces. In addition to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margins, Journey to the West, and Dream of the Red Chamber, there were also Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and The Scholars. There were two more masterpieces that could be plagiarized.
Famous works were indeed famous works. They were famous works in any world. Not only did they sell well in Qing Kingdom, but they were also sold to Northern Qi and Dongyi.
It wasn't too much to describe the Three Kingdoms and the Dream of the Red Chamber as a well-known family.
" Brother, look, that's our White Deer Institute branch right across the street." Fan Ruoruo pointed at the bookstore opposite the Stone House. She was acting like a spoiled child, but at the same time, she was also asking for credit. She was like a little girl who was asking for praise.
"Not bad, not bad at all!" Ling Xiao looked around and said,""The transportation here is convenient. It's close to the capital's largest restaurant, Stone House. It's crowded and is indeed a good place to open a shop.”
Fan Ruoruo felt very sweet when she received Ling Xiao's praise.
" Fan Sizhe will take care of these businesses from now on. I'm new to the capital, so you can show me around when you have time," Ling Xiao said with a smile.
" Okay, brother." Fan Ruoruo didn't care about the bookstore. She was more concerned about being able to stay by Ling Xiao's side.
Fan Ruoruo was a little loli that Ling Xiao had spent nine years to raise, so he naturally doted on her.
The group entered the Stone House. The owner of the Stone House knew Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe. He knew that they were the young master and daughter of Count Sinan's family. They were distinguished guests, and although it was not an honor to welcome them, the owner did not dare to neglect them. He personally led them to a private room on the third floor.
Ling Xiao, Fan Ruoruo, and Fan Sizhe sat at one table, while Wang Qinian, Teng Zijing, and Gao Da sat at another table.
Ling Xiao was the first to take a seat, standing by the window. When he opened the window, he could see the White Deer Institute opposite him. At this moment, the shop was bustling with people.
"This is all my God!" Fan Sizhe's sudden words almost made Ling Xiao's jaw drop.
Soon, the dishes and wine were served, and everyone began to eat. The Stone House was indeed the most famous restaurant in the capital. The dishes and wine were really delicious.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the boss personally brought the waiters to deliver fruits and snacks. No wonder Stone House could establish itself in the capital. This boss was very good at doing business.
Ling Xiao expressed his gratitude to his boss for his actions. He couldn't help but give his boss a couplet as a form of thanks.
One color, two fragrances and three flavors welcome distinguished guests from all over the world
Five smells, six tastes, seven meals, guests from all directions
Ling Xiao's calligraphy came from Fan Ruoruo at any time, but in Ling Xiao's hands, it lacked 30% of a girl's elegance and had 20% of the naturalness and dominance of Taiji.
"Good handwriting!" Others didn't know, but Fan Ruoruo knew Ling Xiao's calligraphy. It was like a completely different person, and she was very surprised.
The owner of Yishi Tavern treated this couplet as a treasure, especially after knowing that Ling Xiao was the author of the best-selling books, The Three Kingdoms and Dream of the Red Chamber. In the end, he even exempted the meal.
