Chapter 6 The He Family's Visit
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
On this day, Lin Haoxue had just finished her practice and was about to go out, when the maid Cuilan hurriedly ran in:
"Second Miss, it's not good!"
"What's going on, so panicked?"
"The people of the He family are here. ”
"What family?" Lin Haoxue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she came really fast.
"Not only the He family, but also the heads of the three major families in Taixing City are also accompanied. ”
Cuilan saw that Lin Haoxue's face was not good, her voice gradually lowered, and she thought: "Second Miss is really pitiful, she has just escaped from the name of waste, and the people of the He family are here, looking at the formation of the He family this time, the second miss will definitely be bullied again." ”
The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat oppressive. Lin Geng sat on the main seat, picked up the teacup that was already a little cool in his right hand, and took a sip lightly, his face was calm. However, those who are attentive will find that his hand serving tea is a little trembling, which shows that he is not as calm as he seems.
There were a total of ten people on the guest seat, six of whom were Wu Haiping, the head of the Wu family, Zheng Shiling, the head of the Zheng family, Wang Xunyuan, the head of the Wang family, and their housekeepers, these housekeepers were actually their intelligence managers.
And there were four strangers in the middle of them: three of them were young men under twenty years old, all dressed in black, with middle-class appearance, and there was some similarity between the eyebrows of the three people, but what was more similar was their same cold temperament. Anyone can see that they are brothers of the same mother. And the last one was a middle-aged man in a gray robe, with small eyes but a twinkle in his eyes, and he kept smiling, twisting his gray beard about an inch, and feeling so amiable.
They are the people of the He family, the number one family in the imperial capital, the housekeeper He Yuan, who was specially sent by the second master, He Guanxiong, and the three brothers of the He family, He Long, He Hu, and He Leopard.
He Guanxiong, the second head of the He family, is lustful, and there are already forty-seven concubines in the family, but he is still not satisfied, and still looks at all the better-looking women around him. The women of the Lin family are famous for their beauty in the entire Wuhuan Empire, and when Lin Geng left the imperial capital, the Lin Haoxue sisters were just children. But for so many years, he has been thinking about it. This year, Lin Ruoxue has just turned fifteen years old, and he immediately asked people to come to the door.
"Master Lin, do you know what we mean?" He Yuan smiled.
Lin Geng was stupid, and asked Steward He to make it clear. Lin Geng is actually like a mirror, but now he can only pretend to be stupid.
He Yuan's smile stiffened slightly, "Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll be straightforward, I heard that the Ruoxue girl of your family is fifteen years old this year." According to the law of our Wuhuan people, a woman can marry at fifteen. ”
"It turns out that Steward He is here to be a matchmaker? Thank you Steward He for his kindness, is that the young talent of that family?" Lin Geng was secretly anxious while playing Tai Chi without a trace.
"How can those hairy boys match Miss Lin's national color and fragrance, I came this time to propose marriage for the two heads of our family. ”
"He Guanxiong, the second head of the He family, is over fifty years old this year?"
"What kind of family background is our family? The head of the Lin family is a smart person, and he should know how much benefit it will be to your Lin family as long as our two families get married. ”
Is this a threat?
Lin Geng's heart was full of anger, and he said in his heart, what he said is good, if it were your daughter, would you like to marry her to that old pervert? But he can't say that, on such an occasion, the Lin family is at an absolute disadvantage. Tearing the face will only make the situation more deadlocked.
He Yuan just looked at him, and also did not speak, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more solemn. The other three families in Taixing City were just watching the drama and did not talk to each other.
"If we don't agree, what will happen to the He family?" a crisp voice suddenly sounded, and everyone followed the voice. I saw a beautiful little girl coming in at the door, eleven or twelve years old, with black hair tied up high, dressed in a snow-white skirt, black eyes like ink, white skin better than snow, red lips pursed, and an indescribable bearing in her gestures. Although she is young, her unearthly temperament is beyond the reach of many women, and what is even more frightening is that such a young girl is not inferior to everyone here, even if these are people with great status.
"Who is she?" thought to themselves in the guest seats.
"Haoxue, why are you here?Who asked you to come?" Lin Geng saw Lin Haoxue's appearance, his heart became more anxious, and his tone became stern, these people were originally coming for her today, Ruoxue was just an excuse. Now that she appeared in the hall like this, how could the He family let her go.
Lin Haoxue didn't look at He Yuan, who looked stunned, nor did she look at other amazing eyes. Instead, he slowly walked to the chair beside Lin Geng and sat down, smiled sweetly at Grandpa, and said comfortingly: "Grandpa, it's okay." ”
"You. Lin Geng sighed helplessly and said no more. Now that Haoxue has appeared here, what's the point of blindly blaming her, let's hear what she thinks now.
"Ahem, Second Miss Lin, right?" He Yuan had already returned to normal at this time, coughed in disguise, and found that the others were also like him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Don't you know that in this world, some people are not qualified to say no?"
"Steward He, is this threatening?" Lin Haoxue sneered, threatening, is this the usual trick of those big families?
"It's okay for Miss Lin to understand it that way. He Yuan didn't feel ashamed at all, originally, this world is like this, the weak have no right to speak, besides, when he came, he also heard that this Lin Haoxue has not awakened until now, and he is a veritable waste, so he naturally despises it a little. But that's okay, anyway, the two heads of the family don't fancy her strength.
"You should have also heard that my sister is cultivating in the Xuanzhi Academy, which is affiliated with the Saint Emperor Academy, forgive me for being so ignorant, I don't know that the He family is already so strong, dare to argue with the Saint Emperor Academy?" Lin Haoxue was not frightened, but gently proposed the Saint Emperor Academy. It's tougher than an attitude, in the entire Wuhuan Empire, there is a family that can be stronger than the Saint Emperor Academy.
He Yuan's face turned red and he was speechless. This little girl really knows how to change concepts. Can the Xuanzhi Academy in Taixing City be compared with the Saint Emperor Academy, but it cannot be denied that the Xuanzhi Academy is indeed exporting talents to the Saint Emperor Academy.
The Holy Emperor Academy is the most sacred place in the Wuhuan Empire, and it houses the best mystical scholars of the Wuhuan Empire. Every year, a large number of geniuses emerge from the academy, and these figures are not only rushed by the Wuhuan Empire, but also many other places. These people graduated from the Saint Emperor Academy, and naturally they would also work for their alma mater, which made the position of the Saint Emperor Academy more and more stable. It is independent and not part of the royal family of the Wuhuan Empire.
For example, the Holy Emperor Academy is like a big tree, standing steadily in the Wuhuan Empire, not only with lush branches and leaves, but also with long roots. Even the royal family of the Wuhuan Empire didn't dare to offend the Holy Emperor Academy, not to mention that his He family was just a family.
"Since Miss Lin's academy is affiliated with the Holy Emperor Academy, we naturally don't dare to do anything, but there is not only one woman in the Lin family, and the second miss will not also study in the Xuanshi Academy. Lin Hu, the second of the three He brothers, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke. Although he himself is a little dislike the approach of the two heads of the family. However, who made them the children of the He family, how can they also be their own people.
"Yes, is Miss Lin Er also a mystery?" The housekeeper He Yuan took over the conversation to hide the embarrassment just now.
spared such a big bend, and really pointed the finger at himself, Lin Haoxue scolded in his heart. But will she be afraid? Whether it is the Wu family or the He family, if they want to find fault, they must be prepared to pay the price.
On the side, Wu Zheng and Wang San's family heads were all pretending to drink tea, but those ridicules who were unwilling to even cover up hurt Lin Haoxue. They didn't give the He family any help, not because they were unwilling, but, in their opinion, this was an unquestionable situation, and no one would question the He family's decision. They are here only out of the etiquette of the host.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Haoxue slowly raised her head. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he slowly spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, the one who has a marriage contract with me should be Xiao Lingyun, the nephew of your two family heads?"
