"Let's go in!" my father is ...... inside" Shen Zhen said in a low voice, very different from the radiant appearance just now, as if there was some unknown fear of the people in the study.

"Shen Zhen, you come in too. At this moment, a voice came from the study, which sounded calm and peaceful, without a trace of fireworks.

Shen Zhen pursed his lips and looked at Li Lin with teary eyes.

"Look at what I'm doing...... Li Lin looked inexplicable.

Shen Zhen sighed, then turned around and pushed open the door of the study.

"Come in!" A middle-aged man sat in the study and smiled slightly when he saw Li Lin and Shen Zhen at the door.

Li Lin nodded and glanced at Shen Zhen, and then Shen Zhen walked into the study with some reluctance.

The middle-aged man in the study, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, was very handsome, casually wearing a purple robe, sitting there, like a gentle and elegant figure, he had a concise short hair, holding the half-read spiritual book in his hand, looking at Shen Zhen who was cowering with a smile, and said, "Why do you bow your head and win the second place?"

Shen Zhen's eyes rolled, not knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't speak.

The middle-aged man smiled, then looked at Li Lin, examined it for a long time, and said with a smile: "You are Li Lin?"

"Hello, uncle. Li Lin stepped forward to say hello, no matter what, the person in front of him deserves his hello.

He is not only Shen Zhen's father and Li Lin's elder, but he is also the only city lord with a foreign surname among the eight city lords of Hongsang City since its establishment!

The successive generations of Hongsang City Lords were all from the Sang Hong family, but fifteen years ago, a person named Shen Xinglin took over the position of the eighth city lord.

This person is Shen Zhen's father, a middle-aged man sitting in the study in front of him!

"Hehe, okay!" Shen Xinglin smiled, without the coercion of the city lord, but like a peaceful middle-aged man, he put down the spiritual book in his hand, looked at Li Lin and smiled: "Don't stand, sit!"

Then there was a pair of tables and chairs in the study, and a set of tea sets were placed on the table.

Li Lin's pupils shrank, and he saw that the table, chair, and tea set were summoned from the spirit book...... How extravagant does this have to be to write a spiritual book for the sake of making tea?

The table, maroon-red, also exudes the scent of ancient wood, while the chair has only two.

Shen Xinglin sat on one of the chairs, picked up the teapot, and said without raising his head: "Why don't you sit?"

"Good. Li Lin was not hypocritical, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Shen Xinglin.

The study was quiet.

Shen Xinglin and Li Lin sat opposite each other, Shen Zhen stood aside with his head bowed and did not speak, and in the entire study, only the sound of tea pouring into the teapot remained.

Li Lin watched Shen Xinglin skillfully make tea, and did not speak, it stands to reason that sitting upright in front of the city lord, ordinary juniors have long been unable to sit still, but Li Lin is still calm, and there is a little inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Finally, the first tea is ready.

Shen Xinglin poured a cup for Li Lin and said with a smile: "This tea is the best tea I drank when I traveled to the north in my early years, called 'Xingyin Tea', but unfortunately a few years ago, due to the war in the north, the origin of 'Xingyin Tea' was completely destroyed, and the price of this 'Xingyin Tea' on the market is also rising day by day...... Although it is not as evocative as the real "Star Silver Tea", it is seven or eight points similar. Come, drink and see!"

Li Lin took the teacup, took a sip, and then nodded: "Well, good tea." ”

Good tea, it should be good tea to drink.

Anyway, I don't have much research on tea, so it's right to nod and praise at this time.

Shen Xinglin smiled, as if he saw Li Lin's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, just poured himself a cup of tea, stared at the light yellow tea in the cup, and said leisurely: "Li Lin, I heard that you like my daughter?"

Burst!

Li Lin hurriedly covered his mouth and almost spit out the superb tea.

"Li Lin, I heard that you like my daughter?"

Shen Xinglin's voice was very flat, calm, and even a little meaningful.

But Li Lin's eyes widened and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Shen Zhenjiao's body on the side trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but after Shen Xinglin glanced at her lightly, the little demon king of the academy suddenly settled down like a deflated ball.

Silent.

Quiescence.

The air in the study seemed to condense......

After a long time, Li Lin smiled dryly and said, "Uncle, this joke is not funny. ”

Shen Xinglin raised the teacup and tasted it: "I'm never joking. ”

"Who is the smartest student in the academy?" Li Lin asked.

"In short, it won't be the uncompetitive Shen Zhen girl. Shen Xinglin replied.

Li Lin nodded approvingly: "Uncle, I'm sure you won't be joking." ”

Shen Zhen: "......"

。。。

"Hehe, in fact, Lichen told me, she said that the two of you have achieved positive results in this exam, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Seeing that Li Lin was still embarrassed, Shen Xinglin smiled and said.

"I know! It's Sang Hong Lichen, a hateful woman!" At this time, Shen Zhen finally couldn't help it, raised his head and snorted, but after being glanced at by Shen Xinglin, he couldn't help lowering his head again, but his mouth kept muttering: "It's hateful, hateful! I dare to trap me who won the second place in the injustice! Hmph! This revenge is not revenge and is not a gentleman!"

"You don't seem to have anything to do with a gentleman, do you......" Li Lin whispered as he bit the edge of his teacup.

Shen Zhen glared at him.

"Ahem. Li Lin coughed dryly, raised his head and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding in this matter, but in fact, Shen Zhen likes ......."

"I like you!" Suddenly, Shen Zhen jumped to his feet and ran over to hug Li Lin's arm, looking very intimate.

Li Lin was stunned.

Damn, it's a lot of fun now, your father is still in front of you, can the girl be solemn?

"What are you crazy about?" Li Lin said in a low voice.

"This is what I want to ask you!Did you just want to tell my secret!" Shen Zhen lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

Li Lin was a little distressed: "If you don't say it clearly, it will be very troublesome." ”

originally thought that if Shen Zhen's special nature was said, everything would be solved, but Shen Zhen seemed to be strongly opposed.

"No matter! If my dad knew about that...... I...... I'll just ...... I'm miserable!"

"Uncle is very open-minded, don't worry!"

"No matter what!

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and were speechless for a while.

Instead, Shen Xinglin exhaled and said with a smile: "Okay, Zhen'er, let go of Li Lin first, don't treat your father as an invisible person!"

Li Lin and Shen Zhen were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

"Wait, something is wrong, he hasn't called me Zhen'er since I accidentally burned my father's spiritual manuscript when I was eight years old......," Shen Zhen looked at his father suspiciously.

"How do I feel that my uncle's words just now make me feel relieved......" Li Lin was also a little puzzled.

I saw Shen Xinglin continue to laugh and say, "Okay, good, good!" After saying three good things in a row, the city lord took out a purple jade pei from his arms, the jade pei was oval-shaped, and a dragon-shaped carving on it was lifelike, and it was a treasure at first glance.

"Come, Li Lin, this jade pei is for you. Shen Xinglin took the purple jade pei to Li Lin, with a sigh on his face: "This jade pei was given to me by my father-in-law when I married Zhen'er and her mother, and now, I will deliver this precious jade pei to you, I hope you can cherish it." ”

Li Lin and Shen Zhen were thunderbolts, and Li Lin almost threw out the delicate purple jade pei in his hand.

"Father, ......" Shen Zhen anxiously wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by Shen Xinglin.

Shen Xinglin poured himself another cup of tea, and said leisurely: "Zhen'er, this girl, she is stubborn, she was spoiled by her mother, she plucked the beard of the head of my Shen Mansion when she was three years old, and stole Dean Sang Hong's most cherished teacup when she was six years old, and broke it...... When I was eight years old, I burned all the manuscripts of the spiritual books in my collection, alas, all kinds of bad deeds, and it is difficult to write books, Lin'er, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Lin...... Lin'er?

Li Lin's face was distorted in some kind of unnatural way.

"I thought I was going to raise this misfortune...... cough, raise this girl for a lifetime, I didn't expect you, a brave man, to appear at this moment...... Ahem, I mean, you are a good man with responsibility, and I believe that you will be happy if you are entrusted with it...... At the very least, I, Shen, can regain my happiness. Shen Xinglin sighed leisurely.
