Chapter 186: The Lin Family's Guest vs the Shelf
This day, for the prosperous and lively imperial capital, is a very ordinary day, for most people, this day is not much different from the past, but this day, for some middle-aged and elderly people in the imperial capital, today is an important day.
"Lao Yang, it's not yet noon, have you closed the stall so early?" At a fruit stall in the imperial capital, the tall and thin man looked at the old man next to him who was hurriedly packing up his things, and asked lazily.
"Hehe, today is a good day, I'll be out of business for a day. The old man said with a smile.
"Good day, why don't I think?" the tall and thin man muttered as he looked at the sun and the street, which were not much different from usual, shook his head in confusion, and went on to tidy up his fruit stand.
"Steward Li, I'm going out in a hurry early in the morning, but there's something important?" Outside the gate of a medium-sized family in the imperial capital, a passer-by met the familiar Steward Li and greeted him warmly!
"Yes, there is something important," the middle-aged steward Li said with a smile, "The head of the family ordered to find the best golden needle spirit leaf again, the gift list is missing this flavor medicine, is it not perfect, today is a big day." ”
"It's a big day, is it?" the passerby looked at the street as usual, muttered a little suspiciously, then shook his head and continued on his way.
......
In different places in the imperial capital, there are more or less such dialogues, and between the two sides of the dialogue is often one side is confused, and the other side is happy and refreshed.
No one knew that the people on this jubilant side were all people who had received the favor of the Lin family more than ten years ago, and some of them were from the family, and some were ordinary people who didn't even have the talent for cultivation. Whether it is a family or an ordinary person, they all received an invitation last night, the invitation is written about the banquet of the return of the family, please come to Yunyun, and the final payment is Lin Geng.
Lin Geng: Isn't this the head of the Lin family, one of the original four major families, actually coming back, so these people who were invited will naturally go to the appointment. The news spread, and some people did not receive the invitation, but after hearing the news, they all rushed to the Lin family's old house. Because, today the Lin family is going to feast guests here and announce to the world that the Lin family is going to return to the imperial capital.
Although the old house of the Lin family has been abandoned for more than ten years, the building has not been destroyed much, and the Lin family has returned more people this time, and Lin He is capable, so in less than half a month, the old village of the Lin family has been renovated and renewed, and it is even more prosperous than the Lin family in the heyday of the past.
Near noon, in front of the gate of the old mansion of the Lin family, there are many people coming and going, and this street can be called an endless stream, these people who come are not only noble families, but also children of poor families, and even many ordinary people, but no matter what they were born, these people who came were with straight backs and excitement.
These people were all brought into the gate by the Lin family's greeters, sitting in different positions, the banquet had not yet begun, the hall was almost overcrowded, and finally, it was Lin Geng's order that in the courtyard in front of the hall, a simple shed was also set up to greet the guests.
The sun was blazing, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the number of people who came to congratulate finally gradually decreased, and the flow of people in front of the door slowed down a lot, and the people who greeted the guests breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Haoxue was still dressed in men's clothes, and followed Lin Geng to greet the guests, which was arranged by Lin Geng to announce her different status to the visitors. Unlike the excitement of the others, she yawned lazily and greeted the visitors weakly. The guests all looked at this young man who was less than fifteen years old with confusion and curiosity, not knowing what his identity was, and how he could be so valued by Lin Geng? I heard that the head of the Lin family had only one son, and he disappeared, leaving only two granddaughters to raise under his knees.
"Hehe, this is a disciple that the dog received before, his name is Xue Hao, Hao'er, come and greet the guests. Lin Geng smiled and introduced Lin Haoxue's identity to the visitors, so in the eyes of everyone, Lin Haoxue became the apprentice that her father once accepted.
"Disciple Xue Hao has seen all the distinguished guests!" Lin Haoxue, who was dressed in white, still greeted lazily, but the strange thing was that those visitors did not feel that he was snubbing, and they all smiled gently in return. Both the guest and the host are happy.
"Lord Chen Shao of the Chen family is here!" Lin Haoxue was yawning and greeting the guests, when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly outside, because there were too many people, so Lin Geng had requested, only the guests of the four major families and above needed to call out their names and families, and the others did not need to, this is not to say that Lin Geng's forces, originally their guests at today's banquet were originally an attitude, announcing the return of the Lin family to the world, and they did not expect that the people of the four major families would really come here.
Chen Shao? Hearing this name, Lin Haoxue immediately became energetic, her eyes lit up, the Chen family is really here, but what are they going to do?
With that shout, the other guests immediately quieted down, the people of their family naturally couldn't compare with the Chen family, they all looked at Chen Shao and his party who strode in. Chen Shao's status in the Chen family is relatively high, more because of his strength, a strong man in the late stage of Xuansheng, it is said that such a master does not need to carry an entourage, but perhaps in order to show his identity, Chen Shao deliberately brought ten entourages this time, all of them were dressed in black shirts, walking neatly, and there was a faint sense of evil.
"Lord Chen Shao!" Looking at Chen Shao, who strode into the gate of the Chen family, with a proud face, Lin Geng's face also sank slightly, but he still greeted politely. Although he could guess that the Chen family must have bad intentions when he came this time, but speculation was just speculation after all, before these things were put on the surface, Chen Shao was just a guest, and the Lin family couldn't be polite to the guests.
"Master Lin, excuse me!" Although he saw Lin Geng's etiquette, Chen Shao did not pause at all, but waved his hand to Lin Geng while walking, and said this.
Excuse me, as if the emperor would only say to his courtiers, how could this Chen Shao be so arrogant? So arrogant? Looking at Chen Shao, the other guests couldn't help but be stunned, but they soon understood that the Chen family wanted to give the Lin family a dismount, after all, the Chen family was able to become the four major families, which had a lot to do with the Lin family's forced departure.
Looking at the arrogant middle-aged man in front of him, Lin Haoxue's eyes were also narrowed, with a faint cold light in his eyes, but when he saw his grandfather Lin Geng, he didn't say anything, so he followed behind his grandfather, lowered his head, and didn't speak, do you think that's it, you just wait and see, if your Chen family moves slightly today, you must have no return.
Chen Shao entered the hall without saying a word, and sat down on the highest seat in the straight direction, of course, the other people had no opinion on this, who let the identity and status of the family be there?
Just as the guests looked at each other, they heard the person who welcomed the guests outside and said loudly, "The young master of the Yan family has arrived!"
Lin Haoxue subconsciously looked at the door, and saw the man in a green shirt wearing a cyan mask slowly getting down from the carriage, walking gracefully, he saluted Lin Geng first, and then entered the hall, everyone found that this mysterious man in a green shirt seemed to have a specific demeanor, and suddenly eclipsed Chen Shao of the Chen family just now.
When the young master of the Yan family came in, Chen Shao's face, who had originally occupied a good position, changed again and again, and finally left the most noble guest seat and sat on the second seat in the eyes of the guests. Although it is said that the four major families are tied, no matter how high Chen Shao's status in the Chen family is, he is only a subordinate after all, how can he be compared with the young master of the Yan family? Even if there is a lot of unwillingness in his heart, he must make up his position.
The guests looked at Young Master Yan, looked at Chen Shao, and said in their hearts, this Lin family is really not simple, ten years away from Beijing, the first banquet guest who came back again, originally thought that there would be no big family to come to the party, but I didn't expect not only to come, but also more than one. It is estimated that the Chen family also wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate the Lin family, but now the appearance of the Yan family has also disappointed them.
Just when everyone was thinking differently, the greeting person outside the door spoke up again, and his voice was high: "The eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Qing, has arrived." ”
Xiao Qing, hearing this name, Lin Haoxue suddenly smiled, she was not surprised by Xiao Qing's arrival, but she was not surprised, and the others were surprised, it was simply unexpected. The Xiao family actually came to a banquet of the Lin family, what does this mean, before this, the Xiao family would never appear on such an occasion, the Lin family, is it really so amazing?
"It seems that the return of the Lin family's ability has really risen strongly!"
"Think about it, what a beautiful scenery the Lin family was back then, and it is not impossible to reappear now. ”
"Yes, the people of the Lin family are very upright, if such a person really collapses, there is no heavenly reason. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?"
......
The appearance of Xiao Qing immediately caused the whispers of the guests in the hall, and people sincerely felt that this Lin family was unusual, and they all recalled the grand occasion of the Lin family back then.
After Xiao Qing, who was dressed in white, appeared, it immediately caused people's surprise, but they didn't expect that the people of the Xiao family, who had never come forward, actually had such a good skin, just like the young master Yan, Xiao Qing first saluted Lin Geng, and then smiled at Lin Haoxue, and didn't want others to introduce it, but strode into the living room by himself.
Lin Haoxue's eyes narrowed, was Xiao Qing's smile just now a reminder of something? Could it be that there was someone behind her? Just when Lin Haoxue was a little puzzled in her heart, she suddenly heard the voice of someone outside coming again.
"The Third Prince has arrived!"
This voice is particularly loud, louder than the previous ones, and the word "driving" is also read very seriously, obviously, for the appearance of this noble person, even an ordinary person from the Lin family is also very excited.
Suddenly I don't know what to say, but I have written it so far, and it has been more than 500,000 words.
From tomorrow, this book will be on the shelves, if you think you can still read it, please continue to support Kotoshin, thank you, bow again.
