Chapter 15 Sunbathing
(《》)
The next day, Lin Dong knocked on Bai Jingtai's door early in the morning.
When Bai Jingtai learned that Lin Dong was here to borrow money to build a new inn, he would not refuse. Five thousand taels of silver were quickly obtained.
Then I measured the land, changed the land deed, worked hard all morning, and finally got things done.
The total land area of the two shops and the houses behind them is 700 cents acre, with a total price of 2,900 taels of silver.
Next, he demolished the old house and asked the carpenter to buy materials. This took longer. Lin Dong planned and talked to Wang Liuzhi about his layout and requirements for the new inn. He left the rest to him and asked him only when he needed to pay the money.
On the tenth day of April, the sky was clear. When Lin Dong arrived at Qiushui Academy in a rented carriage, there were already traffic outside the courtyard and the courtyard was crowded with people.
"Dad, why did you come?"
At the gate of the courtyard, a light red figure shuttled through the crowd and headed straight for Lin Dong who was jumping out of the carriage.
Lin Dong stretched out his right hand and was waiting for Lin Shuang's head to come over to rub her head, but he saw that the little girl had no pause and shook her little feet and walked around the carriage behind him.
"Well!"
Lin Dong put down his arm with some disappointment. A snow-white and elegant cloud came slowly in front of him. Although there was a rush of people on both sides, no one could get within two meters of her.
Use spiritual energy to bounce people away? Or, the temperament of a celestial woman descending to earth, transcendent and unworldly makes people feel ashamed of themselves and dare not approach them?
Lin Dong grinned at Yun Lan and said hello, then turned around and stared at Lin Shuang who asked for a carriage and didn't want his father.
"Dad, where is my food?" Lin Shuang put down the curtain of the car and turned around with her little mouth pouting.
"Uh! I borrowed someone a spirit ring, and they were all inside."
Lin Dong shook the jade ring between his right palm and his fingers, and felt relieved.
After all, it was the first big business that the little girl had done, so it was also worth ignoring her father when she was excited.
"Spiritual Ring? Sister Yunlan has one too! I don't know who is better." Lin Shuang's eyes lit up, and her eyes staring at the jade ring in Lin Dong's hand were extremely hot.
Lin Dong didn't understand the little girl's meaning. He rubbed her head and smiled and said, "I'll put the things for you to play with. When you grow up a little longer, my dad will buy you one."
"Yeah!" Lin Shuang's little head lit a few times like a chicken pecking at rice, and immediately hugged Lin Dong's arm to the academy, obviously unable to wait to open.
Following Lin Shuang to Yun Lan, the three of them walked forward and headed towards the tightly blocked gate.
With Yun Lan here, the road was naturally unobstructed. The three of them entered the academy and the people who were diverted slowly loosened. After passing a gravel road, they soon arrived at the playground where civil and military battles were fought.
On a raised ground on the south side, in a newly built simple tea shed, more than a dozen girls were laughing and joking. Outside the tea shed, a chubby boy waved his arms and said something to six or seven boys.
"Has the tea shed been built?" Lin Dong was quite surprised. On the little girl's list, there were some columns and felts for building the tea shed.
"Yeah!" Lin Shuang nodded: "Zhang Heng insisted on helping, so he asked him to find someone to build the teahouse first."
"Zhang Heng? Why is this name so familiar?" Lin Dong's eyes couldn't help but floated to the chubby boy.
Lin Shuang gave her eyes a white fat man and explained: "It was the one who broke her leg last time by her brother. Later... he said that he would not know each other without fighting. He had to stay behind me as a follower, but he couldn't drive him away."
Lin Dong knew in his heart that it was undoubtedly Mr. Zhang’s explanation for what he would do.
For Tianhao, Xiao Tianchi has developed so many tricks. As long as Zhang Yuanwai is not stupid, he can guess that he wants to regard Tianhao as his heir.
The sister of the future leader of the Gu Huanzong, flattering her, will not be able to think about the benefits in the future.
The three of them went to the tea shed. The fat man was a little smart and could see Lin Dong's identity at a glance. Thinking of the old man who often screamed a headache now, his face turned pale and he hid behind several other teenagers in disgrace.
Lin Dong smiled indifferently, poured out the things from the mobile counter, and then took off the jade ring in his hand and handed it to Lin Shuang.
This jade ring was bought by Lin Dong at a small stall. It only cost 30 cents, so it is naturally not a storage spirit ring. Fortunately, after the storage spirit ring recognizes the owner, only the owner can open the space inside. With the little girl's eyesight, how can she tell the truth or false?
Lin Dong couldn't help but look at Yun Lan, and saw that he looked at him, and he already knew in his heart that she had seen that the jade ring was a fake.
The storage spirit ring is made by engraving a spiritual array in rare metal. Since Yunlan has a real storage spirit ring, it is normal that he can distinguish the authenticity.
"Sister Yunlan, please lend me yours again, okay? Let me see which one is better." Lin Shuang played for a while and looked up at Yunlan.
Nodding, Yun Lan took off the spiritual ring on her slender fingers. The movement was much more elegant than Lin Dong.
Chao Yunlan smiled, Lin Dong pulled a bench and sat down on the outside of a corner of the tea shed, crossed his legs and leaned against the pillar to rest.
The rising sun slowly moved in the sky, and the warm light shone on his body, making people feel unspeakable comfort. Lin Dong was about to fall asleep in a daze, and waves of crying sounded.
"It's started, it's already started!"
Cheers then rang in the tea shed. For a moment, the girls held the flyers that wrote most of the stories, like a group of small butterflies leaping towards the crowd.
"Don't you go and have a look?"
An elegant voice sounded beside him. Lin Dong turned his head and looked at it. Then he realized that Yun Lan had moved a bench and sat next to him at some point.
Lin Dong stretched and said comfortably: "I'm still a little interested in fighting martial arts. Today I'm comparing calligraphy. I don't understand, and I'm not interested! What about you?"
"I prefer watching Xiaoshuang make money with her smile!" Yun Lan replied faintly.
"Aren't you afraid of being tanned?" Lin Dong smiled. The main reason why he didn't go back to the inn to practice was that he was worried that there were too many people and that he would be mixed with dragons and snakes, and that Lin Shuang would encounter any trouble. Secondly, he wanted to witness how Lin Shuang's first big business was successful, but he was somewhat similar to Yun Lan.
Yun Lan shook her head and said nothing.
Lin Dong didn't say much, closed his eyes and continued to enjoy his sunbathing and this rare leisure time.
The cheers soon fell silent, and slowly there was only a low buzzing sound. Half an hour later, Lin Shuang's surprise cry came to Lin Dong's ears.
"Fatty, Zhou Zhengye is here, hurry up and bring the piano over."
"Oh!" The little fat man responded happily.
Lin Dong turned his head and saw that among the crowd, a young man in his twenties was walking towards the tea shed.
The face with a Chinese character has a slightly dark skin, and the whole body is washed white, but you can still see that the background is a blue long gown. Judging from the appearance and clothes, the young man is a little shabby. But when you look closely, you will find that his face has the firmness that is not the same as his peers, and his steps are also agile and steady, with a faint sense of excellence.
"Fatty, pour a cup of tea for Zhou Zhengye."
When Zhou Zhengye sat down at the square table with the guqin, Lin Shuang said with anticipation: "Do you have the confidence to win the first place?"
Zhou Zhengye nodded calmly.
"It's great. After drinking tea, start playing the piano. Fatty, go to the comment seat to stare. After the first small event is out, come back to report the message."
"Okay!"
Although Zhou Zhengye is famous in the college, he is just a poor person in the eyes of the fat man. He would definitely be disdainful to help him wait for his grades if he is usually not a man.
But this task was under Lin Shuang. According to the old man, the more Lin Shuang said that he would do, the more he regarded him as his own person. The old man was able to be rich in a county, because Gu Huanzong had a cousin in foreign affairs. He would take care of Gu Huanzong's daily consumption every year and the excess fruit spirit stones in the mountains!
Following the future sect leader’s sister to be a younger brother, his future achievements will definitely be better than the old man.
Therefore, although he was a little disgusted with the sunshine outside the tea shed, he ran out happily without thinking.
For a moment, the sound of the piano sounded, melodious and pleasant, making people feel like spring breeze.
Lin Dong's eyelids sank and he continued to sunbathe.
In just over ten minutes, a sharp and harsh voice broke away his leisure.
