Lin Zhiming can be regarded as making a new friend.

This person named Xu Chenxin is quite handsome, and he has the air of a little artist.

After Lin Zhiming chatted with the other party for a few words, he also added a WeChat to each other to facilitate future communication.

This is the first time that Lin Zhiming has added the prestige of kindergarten parents, and he can't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

"Let's go first, there's still something to do. Lin Zhiming waved his hand to Xu Chenxin and turned to leave.

Watching Lin Zhiming walk away, Xu Chen muttered to himself, "Lin Zhiming... This name seems a little familiar..."

On the outskirts of Strait City, the Yao family's old house.

At this time, the entire Yao family's old house was full of people, Yao Tianlong's few elders, his peers, juniors, and some people in the village gathered here to send Yao Tianlong on his last journey.

Yao Tianlong is the leading figure in the family and the village, and he has a lot of say in the affairs of the family and the affairs in the village, and he also has a high prestige, so no matter what happened to him during his lifetime, now that he has passed away, everyone still came to the Yao family's old house.

In the huge courtyard, several Western bands hired by relatives are taking turns playing songs.

This is the custom of Jinmin Province, weddings and funerals must invite a band, and it is generally invited by relatives and friends, and there is no reason for the owner to invite himself.

Whoever invites more Western bands proves that the better the popularity of the owner, the higher the prestige.

There are more than 10 Western bands here today, and this is not invited by 10 people, because some Western bands are invited by families, and some are invited by 10 or 20 people.

Ten bands, which is already a rare pomp in recent years.

There are people who register visitors in the rooms on the first floor, and there are special people who receive gift money.

Lin Zhiming only took Dong Jian to the Yao family's old mansion.

From the moment Lin Zhiming got off the front door, many Yao family members stared at him.

Lin Zhiming changed into a black suit today, with a white shirt inside, looking very solemn.

Dong Jian held a long box in his hand and followed Lin Zhiming closely.

"What are you doing here?!"

"You still have a face!"

"Your grandfather was killed by you!"

When Lin Zhiming walked into the courtyard, many Yao family members let out curses.

"Shut up. An old man of the Yao family scolded loudly.

The Yao family, who were scolding, stopped at this time.

But even so, there were still many people looking at Lin Zhiming with anger on their faces.

Lin Zhiming's face was as usual, and he walked into the living room in the center of the first floor.

The person in charge of registering visitors in the living room was a cousin of Yao Tianlong.

Seeing Lin Zhiming coming, this person's face was a little weird, and he didn't know whether to greet him or let Lin Zhiming go.

At this time, Yao Jianyong walked from the next room.

"You're here!" Yao Jianyong nodded with Lin Zhiming.

"Hmm!" Lin Zhiming said, "Come and give the old man a ride." ”

"Uncle Cousin, knowing your fate is our family's uncle, let's register it. Yao Jianyong said to Yao Tianlong's cousin.

"Okay!" Yao Tianlong's cousin nodded, and then wrote Lin Zhiming's name in the notebook.

"This is a painting that I asked Master Zhang Xiaoqian to ask for. Lin Zhiming pointed to the box in Dong Jian's hand.

Dong Jian handed the box to the other party.

As soon as I heard that it was Master Zhang Xiaoqian's words, many people present were solemn, Zhang Xiaoqian is now a great calligrapher in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is extremely difficult to find a word.

An elder carefully opened the box, took out rice paper from it and spread it out.

There are four words written on the paper: "The sound is like a pretense"

"Frame it up and hang it up. A man in charge said.

Someone immediately took the words away.

"This is a little bit of the heart of our family master. Dong Jian took out another stack of banknotes and handed it to the person in charge of registration.

The other party took the money and made a record.

"Return the gift. The messenger said in a deep voice.

Immediately, someone sent two plastic bags to Lin Zhiming Dong Jian.

This is also a custom in Kim Min Province, where bags are generally filled with things like towel soap.

Dong Jian was in charge of taking things, and Lin Zhiming asked Yao Jianyong in a low voice, "Where is Yao Jing?"

"Wake up next door. Yao Jianyong said.

"Can I go see her?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Hmm. Yao Jianyong nodded.

"You're waiting for me here. Lin Zhiming admonished Dong Jian, then turned around and walked out of the hall and walked to the side hall next to him.

The door of the side hall was hidden, and the people standing at the door were all women.

Lin Zhiming walked to the door and looked inside, and there were also female dependents in the door, all kneeling on the ground.

There was a bed against the wall, and there was a person lying on the bed, covered with a white cloth, and he couldn't see it, but everyone knew that it was Yao Tianlong who was lying there.

Lin Zhiming glanced at the kneeling female dependents and found Yao Jing.

Yao Jing wore a white herringbone turban on her head and plain gray clothes on her body, kneeling like everyone else.

Yao Jing's face was a little pale, and there were also a little vicissitudes, as if she didn't sleep well last night.

It was summer, and in order to prevent the smell of corpses, the air conditioner in the room was turned on very high and the temperature was very low.

Yao Jing didn't wear much, and her nose was slightly red.

Lin Zhiming took off his suit jacket, walked into the mourning hall, walked to Yao Jing's side, and put his shirt on Yao Jing's body, and then, Lin Zhiming squatted down, looked at Yao Jing and said, "Did you eat today?"

"Hmm. Yao Jing nodded and said softly, "Drink some porridge." ”

"That's fine. Lin Zhiming said.

"Lin Zhiming, are you happy now?" a cold voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Zhiming glanced at the person who spoke.

It was an old woman who spoke, about seventy years old.

Lin Zhiming knew this person, this person was Yao Tianlong's wife, Yao Li.

Yao Tianlong is outside, and Yao Li is inside, so he basically can't see this person, and Lin Zhiming also saw each other once when he got married.

Lin Zhiming stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed to the other party.

"Don't pretend here, our Yao family will never forgive you for the rest of our lives!" Yao Li said.

Lin Zhiming didn't refute anything, gently patted Yao Jing's shoulder, turned around and walked out of the mourning hall.

Outside the door, the Western band was still banging and beating.

There was a ding-dong sound from the top of the building, which was done by the master.

The so-called master, similar to a goddess, can also be regarded as a priest, anyway, the duties are the same, communicating with the souls of the dead.

"What about Yao Shanchuan?" asked Lin Zhiming.

As the eldest son and eldest grandson, he and his father were upstairs with their master. Dong Jian said.

"Oh!" Lin Zhiming nodded and looked at the sky.

The weather was nice and the wind was beautiful.

Lin Zhiming didn't come and leave, he walked to the edge of the courtyard with Dong Jian and chatted.

"The old man came here last night, do you know?" Lin Zhiming asked while squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette.

Dong Jian took out a box from his bag and handed it to Lin Zhiming, saying, "I know he's coming... You can smoke cigars in the future, I have brought you a good cigar. ”

Lin Zhiming took the box and opened it to take a look, and the box contained a black and thick cigar.

"I won't smoke this thing even if it kills. Lin Zhiming shook his head.

"Why? This is popular in the top circles right now. Dong Jian said.

"I just don't like it anyway, I'm not interested in anything like black, thick and hard, maybe I'm straighter. Lin Zhiming said.

Dong Jian smiled and put the box away.

"The necklace I gave to the old man is a fake. Lin Zhiming said.

"He knows. Dong Jian said.

"Yes, I thought he didn't know!" Lin Zhiming said with some annoyance.

"He didn't mind, though. Dong Jian said.

"I think so. Lin Zhiming smiled.

"Just now Wang Hai came to the news, there are a total of thirty-two dinner invitations today, all of them are those people from the upper class of the Strait City, and it can be seen that they are really afraid of you!" Dong Jian said with a smile.

"How can you not be afraid? Song Jingsheng and Song Desheng offended me, the family almost died, Chen Weichao offended me, now the auto repair shop is still closed, the Li family has offended me, the assets have shrunk by ten figures, the Yao family has offended me... See for yourself. Lin Zhiming said.

"You... Is it the rise of the tyrant?" said Dong Jian with a smile.

"What kind of rise, at most, it is a few jumps in the small pond, and it will not be long before you have to enter the river, and then you have to enter the river, go to the sea, and jump over the dragon gate, there are many things to do!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.

Dong Jian smiled and said, "Have you memorized all the basic etiquette of the European aristocratic court?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiming frowned and said, "It's too difficult, if you want me to see it, it's just that I have nothing to do." ”

"These things can help you better integrate into the upper circle. Dong Jian said.

"I am a dignified Dragon Country, do I need to integrate into my circle with Western etiquette?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"This is the way the atmosphere is, if you want to change, you can only go to the highest circles, and at that time, you will be like here in Strait City, everyone will live on your nose, and what you say is etiquette, then what is etiquette. Dong Jian said.

"There is a long way to go!" Lin Zhiming took the cigarette from his mouth, snuffed it out, threw it into the trash, and then said, "The Yao family's affairs are over here." ”

"Hmm. Dong Jian nodded.

Yao Tianlong's merits were done for a whole day, and Lin Zhiming also stayed at Yao's house for a whole day.

This can be regarded as giving the Yao family a lot of face, and, because of Lin Zhiming's relationship here, many leading figures in Strait City also came to send Yao Tianlong on his last journey, if Lin Zhiming was not here, these people really might not dare to come, after all, the Yao family offended Lin Zhiming and offended it miserably, you came to send Yao Tianlong, if Lin Zhiming was resentful because of this, and finally killed himself, it would be worth the loss.

At this time, Lin Zhiming really established his own prestige in Strait City, and no one in the entire Strait City dared to stand out.

A generation of tyrants-in-law can be regarded as a real rise.

However, as Lin Zhiming himself said, all this is just the beginning!
