Chapter 591: The Wind
The big trees in the courtyard swayed with the wind, making a rattling sound, and the hem of Lin Daocheng's robe was not neatly tied, flying up and down with the wind, unruly with a little fall, and the young southeast ruler did not have the majesty in front of the generals in the past.
But Xu Chenglin would never underestimate him in the slightest because of this, he gathered the robe he was wearing and stretched out his hand to point to the stone table and stone bench under the tree.
"Since you're here...... Then sit down. ”
"Okay, Xu Shizi is refreshing!"
Lin Daocheng smiled heartily, as if he couldn't see the vigilance and indifference in Xu Chenglin's eyes at all.
Lin Daocheng sat down happily, poured wine for Xu Chenglin with his own hands, and offered it with both hands:
"Xu Shizi, you have been in the southeast for so long, you have a good understanding of the warship, you have almost touched the way of military training, and you are also proficient in the local people, even this Hokkien dialect, you have learned seventy-seven-eighty-eight - among the people sent by the imperial court over the years, my brother will obey you!"
Xu Chenglin took the wine glass and put it on the table, Lin Daocheng's praise was like an ear wind, he didn't listen to half a sentence - it doesn't matter if Lin Daocheng obeys him or not, the important thing is that the Lin family has more than a dozen assassins who have failed to do anything to him, and now, I'm afraid he has come up with a new trick, right?
Lin Daocheng chattered and praised for a while, and when he saw that Xu Chenglin's face was always condensed and he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, so he simply put down the cup, got up and looked around Xu Chenglin's residence with his hands behind his back, and sighed:
"Xu Shizi, I heard, you haven't married yet?"
After Xu Chenglin was surprised, he smiled heavily, this is the good thing Lin Daocheng wants to say, right?
Lin Daocheng didn't leave until late at night, and he made it clear in the end.
The Lin family wants to be with Weibei Houfu, and there are three candidates for Xu Chenglin, one is Lin Daocheng's own sister, one is his cousin, and one is the real sister of his deceased wife.
But these three people, none of them Xu Chenglin wants, no matter how beautiful a woman is, just because she is a relative of the Lin family, it is not suitable.
Mr. Qu, a staff member who came with the Weibei Houfu, also thought that the matter was inappropriate.
"The Lin family has no choice but to take the prince, they can't sit still, and they want to win over first. If the prince marries the daughter of the Lin family, then he will no longer be able to get rid of the Lin family-and the Lin family has occupied the southeast for many years, how can the meat in their mouths be distributed to others? The prince will only become a vassal of the Lin family in the end. ”
A hint of coldness appeared in Xu Chenglin's eyes:
"Not only that, as long as the Lin family releases the news, once it is transmitted back to the capital, whether I marry the daughter of the Lin family or not, then I will definitely be suspicious of all parties in the capital!"
Mr. Qu nodded: "What the prince said is extremely true, the Lin family's intentions are sinister - the only way to do this is to make a family decision as soon as possible, or bluntly say that he has already decided to marry, so the Lin family has no room to operate in this matter, the prince, I don't know what the Hou Ye and Mrs. have planned?"
Father and Mother's Intentions...... Xu Chenglin groaned, but Liang Sixian's bright smiling face unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
When he was still unsure of his mind, in such a situation, was it appropriate to drag this innocent woman in?
Mr. Qu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw him hesitate like this.
He knew the Hou Ye's plans, with the family background and character of the prince, although he was a few years old, it was not difficult to marry a virtuous and capable wife who was also from a high background.
As long as the prince nods, how many people in the capital are willing, but the prince has always been so awkward in marriage that he is now being exploited.
"Please also ask the prince to make plans in advance. Mr. Qu still insisted on persuading.
Xu Chenglin scratched his hair in annoyance - since Lin Daocheng came to the door in person, this matter must not be easy to deal with, if he bluntly said that he had already made a marriage, then he had to have a clear person to prevaricate.
Otherwise, now is not a good opportunity to turn the other cheek with the Lin family!
Sure enough, within a few days, everyone in Fuzhou City knew that the young General Xu sent by the imperial court was going to marry the daughter of the Lin family.
Many local generals in the barracks smiled and begged Xu Chenglin for a drink:
"Great joy, General Xu, in our Fuzhou, being able to be the son-in-law of the Lin family is almost the same as marrying the princess of the emperor's family!"
The princess of the emperor's family? Also, the identity of the Lin family as the emperor of Fuzhou is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xu Chenglin remained silent, and responded to the past with a smile:
"Where did this come from? Why don't I know anything about it?"
"What else do you need, look there!" one of the hundred households was about to say something, but turned his head and saw a figure in the distance, and pointed over with a wink.
Xu Chenglin also turned his head to look, and a woman with a maidservant came over in the distance.
"You are Xu Chenglin?"
The woman was petite and delicate, delicate and cute, but the pampering air between her eyebrows came to her face.
Xu Chenglin frowned and was silent.
The woman looked at him from head to toe, and pouted:
"Big brother praises you for how good, it's just like that, tell you, if you want to marry me Lin Jingzi, it's not so easy!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, treating the soldiers who were watching from afar as nothing.
Xu Chenglin didn't say much, turned around and instructed the hundred households who had just spoken:
"Luo Baihu, what is the crime of a woman trespassing into the barracks?"
Luo Baihu, who had already been tested by Xu Chenglin, immediately stood up straight and replied:
"Woman trespassing into the barracks, capital offense!"
"Very good, you take someone to tie it up, send it to General Lin, tell him that this woman trespassed into the barracks, and let him watch it!"
"Xu Chenglin!" Lin Jingzi, who had just walked a few steps, turned around suddenly, in disbelief: "You actually dare to punish me?"
"Xu doesn't know what the daughter of the Lin family is, only knows the precepts of the military camp, if you are really the daughter of the Lin family, you should know the precepts of the barracks, knowingly commit it, the crime will be added to the first degree, Luo Quanfu, tie people up!"
Luo Baihu, who was named, was stunned, the folk customs in the southeast are not so rigorous, and it is already a common thing for the men and women of the Lin family to come to the military camp to hang around, this, isn't this Xu Chenglin going to marry someone, why is it like this?
Lin Jingzi is a member of the Lin family!
"General Xu, you don't leave any leeway?" Luo Baihu approached Xu Chenglin and whispered.
"Don't stay!" Xu Chenglin's eyes were like knives.
Luo Baihu was reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate in Xu Chenglin's cold gaze - anyone who didn't listen to the military order had already been cut down by Xu Chenglin, and countless people had taken their titles, so now everyone in the Fuzhou garrison knows that Xu Chenglin's private relationship with people is like a spring breeze, and when it comes to official business, that is the iron-faced Yama!
Luo Baihu didn't dare to really do anything to the second lady of the Lin family, but he still managed to invite people out and send them back to the Lin family.
This matter, offending the Lin family is still reasonable, and the Lin family wants to retaliate against Xu Chenglin, if he offends Xu Chenglin, more than ten years of hard work will be in vain!
Xu Chenglin listened to Lin Jingzi's angry scolding from afar, but he felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
With the power of the Lin family, Lin Jingzi naturally won't really die, but if the Lin family dares to use his marriage as a raft in the future, it should be weighed!
Lin Jingzi was sent home, full of grief and grievances, and was about to go to her eldest brother to cry, but what greeted her was a slap from her eldest brother Lin Daocheng:
"Who told you to find Xu Chenglin?"
