Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 85 Nian Duan and his disciples agreed to stay

Chapter 85 Nian Duan and his disciples agreed to stay
The little Loli Duanmu Rong was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded.

She was willing to stay for two reasons.

First, the Xu family has many condiments that are not available elsewhere, such as pepper and cumin, which she likes very much.

After eating the grilled meat sprinkled with pepper and cumin, she found it difficult to eat the grilled meat sprinkled with only peppercorns and salt.

Second, Nian Duan has rejected many people in recent years, such as the Mohists, the nobles of Wei, and the nobles of Chu.

How can there be so many gentlemen in troubled times?
If Nian Duan refuses again, the next time the nobles of Chu or Wei come to Jinghu, they will probably abduct Nian Duan by force or use her as a threat. Therefore, she does not want to go back to Jinghu with Nian Duan.

She and Nian Duan had helped Xu Lin's wife Jing Niu give birth. Xu Lin was also a favorite of the King of Qin and the deputy commander of the Shadow Secret Guard. They were both in Xianyang. Xu Lin would not just stand by and watch her die, right?

"Master, don't you want to stay?"

Little Loli Duanmurong looked up at Nianduan and asked with blinking eyes.

"Master hasn't made up his mind yet."

"It's getting late, we should go back."

Nian Duan answered.

She could accept to stay, but on certain conditions.

The premise is what Xu Lin said about benefiting the world, and this world includes the common people of the six states in Shandong.

After returning to Xu's house, Nian Duan went straight to the study.

Xu Lin was in the study at this time, humming a little tune and enjoying Li Ji's massage.

Following the voice and seeing Nian Duan, Li Ji immediately let go of Xu Lin's shoulders, sat up straight, and covered her legs with the hem of her skirt.

"Mr. Nianduan?"

"Have you figured it out?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"not yet."

"I have one last question."

Nian Duan shook his head.

"You guys chat."

Seeing this, Li Ji stood up suddenly and turned to leave.

Although she has a strong mental state, her face still turned a little red.

In broad daylight, she was kissing and kissing Xu Lin in the study in front of Master Nian Duan. What would Master Nian Duan think of her?

"Excuse me, Mr. Nian Duan."

After Li Ji walked away, Xu Lin spoke.

After he finished speaking, he personally poured Nian a bowl of cold tea.

"Thank you."

"Mr. Xu doesn't seem to like raw water?"

Nian Duan knelt opposite Xu Lin and took the tea bowl.

She didn't want to get straight to the point, she felt that some groundwork was needed, so she didn't directly talk about "benefiting the world".

"The book says that drinking too much raw water is bad for your health."

Xu Lin nodded.

"Mr. Xu doesn't seem to like hot tea either?"

Nian Duan took a sip of herbal tea and asked.

She had her long hair tied low and her clothes were simple but neat, making her look like a good wife and mother.

"I forgot which book I read about this before, but drinking hot tea frequently can cause throat problems."

Xu Lin thought and made up the story.

This is what he saw in a popular science video later on: drinking hot water frequently can easily lead to esophageal cancer.

"Everyone says that you, Mr. Xu, are a man of profound learning and unparalleled talent. Your reputation is truly well-deserved!"

Nian Duan praised with a smile.

She was not complimenting Xu Lin, but speaking from her heart.

You really shouldn't drink too much raw water or hot tea. Unless there is no other way, try not to drink them.

"When did Mr. Nian Duan learn to flatter?"

Xu Lin teased after hearing this.

"It's not flattery, but what's in my heart."

Nian Duan waved his hand.

"There are no outsiders here. If Mr. Nian Duan has anything to ask, please feel free to ask."

“No need for foreshadowing!”

Xu Lin took a big sip of herbal tea and immediately suggested.

Although he is not a man who values words, he doesn't like to talk nonsense either.

"it is good."

"I remember you said before, Mr. Xu, that printing books is to benefit the world."

"I wonder if this world includes the people of the six states in Shandong?"

Nian Duan asked with a serious expression.

She folded her hands on her thighs, sitting straight with a serious look on her face.

"Of course!"

Xu Lin said without hesitation, "The Qin State is already doomed, and the six states in Shandong are plagued by incompetent rulers."

"In ten years at most, the six states of Shandong will become counties of the Qin Dynasty, and the people of the six states of Shandong will then be the people of the Qin Dynasty."

Xu Lin added loudly.

When Nian Duan heard this, he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

She is a kind-hearted person and does not want to see killing.

"Mr. Nianduan."

"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

"The world, long divided, will eventually unite."

"Do you think there would be no killing if the Qin Dynasty hadn't marched east to unify the world?"

"Mr. Nian Duan, have you forgotten the wars among the six states in Shandong before the Battle of Changping?"

Xu Lin asked after seeing through Nian Duan's thoughts.

Nian Duan nodded. It is true that the six states in Shandong had fought frequently before.

"As the military manual says, attacking the city is inferior, attacking the heart is superior."

"When the Qin army marches eastward, it will try to minimize casualties."

"Only when the world is unified can the common people be freed from the suffering of war. Otherwise, if nations continue to fight against each other, won't the common people suffer in the end?"

Xu Lin asked.

Nian Duan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

After pondering for a long time, she nodded, feeling that Xu Lin's words were reasonable.

You can't have the best of both worlds. It's impossible to not want to kill and at the same time let the common people live and work in peace!
"So Mr. Nian Duan agrees to stay?"

Xu Lin smiled upon seeing this.

"Yes."

"But Rong'er and I have to move out."

"Rong'er is still young, it's not appropriate for her to live here with you, Mr. Xu."

Nian Duan nodded and said immediately.

She was discussing with Xu Lin. If Xu Lin did not agree with her and Rong'er moving out, she would go back to Jinghu!

What's going on with two unmarried women living in Xu's house?

And everyone knows that Xu Lin is lustful.

After this matter gets out, not only will others think too much, even Nian Duan himself will think too much, and he will be afraid of Xu Lin's "sneak attack" when he sleeps at night!
"can."

"I asked Li Wu to buy a house a few days ago. You and Rong'er can move there."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

He had long guessed that Nian Duan would move out, so he was prepared!

The house that Li Wu bought was not big, just right for Nian Duan and his disciple to live in. It was very close to Xu's house, and only took half an incense stick to walk there.

After saying that, Xu Lin took out the house deed and keys from under the table and handed them to Nian Duan.

Nian Duan was shocked when he saw this scene.

How did Xu Lin know that she would agree to stay and move out?
"I wonder how much this house costs?"

"I'll go back to Jinghu in a few days to get it..."

Nian Duan took the house deed and keys and asked softly.

She doesn't like taking advantage!
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"Not much money."

"This house is a gift from me to you and Rong'er, but it's not for free."

"From today on, if my wife, Cherry, or I get sick, we'll go see you, Mr. Nian Duan, and I won't pay for it!"

Xu Lin smiled broadly.

"it is good."

Nian Duan was stunned when he heard this, then nodded slightly.
