Let's say that after Ying Huaizhen came out to find Xiao Tang, Lin * in the house glanced at Minli and smiled coldly.

The two of them talked to Mrs. Tang for a while, and Lin* said to Minli: "I have a book that I have always wanted to ask you for, and now I have to bother you to help me take it out." ”

said goodbye to Mrs. Tang and pulled Minli out under the pretext of an excuse.

When the two of them went outside, each putting on a cloak, Minli asked, "What book do you want?" Why didn't you say it in my room?"

Lin * sneered: "I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't be right, and everyone won't look good." ”

Min Li saw that her expression and tone were wrong, so she expected that she would stop her mother with a cough in the back room, and immediately smiled: "It's not good-looking, I'm just doing that for everyone's good looks." ”

It turned out that Ying Huaizhen said that he wanted to see Xiao Tang at that time, and Mrs. Tang wanted Xiao Tang to come over, but Min Li knew Xiao Tang's temperament and knew that he was not very good at Min Li, and now the situation between the two is so obscure, why call him to face each other, so she stopped him.

Unexpectedly, Lin * seems to be rough on the surface, but he is actually a multi-minded, and he has already seen it.

After listening to Minli's words, Lin * said: "I know your thoughts, you probably saw that your brother and my affairs were suddenly put aside, and you were at a loss...... It's just that you made me laugh at you. ”

Min Li didn't know what was going on with the two of them, so she hurriedly grabbed Lin *'s arm and said, "Good sister, you also know that I am young and ignorant, you understand that I mean well, why don't you tell me, what is going on with the two of you?"

Min Li saw her begging for a good look, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to make this pitiful appearance, if you don't ask about this matter, I won't talk about it, since you asked...... Here you come. As he spoke, he pulled Minli and the two of them walked down the corridor, without the girl following, and walked and talked.

It turned out that Xiao Tang went to the Lin Mansion that day and met Lin Shenzhou, so he naturally talked about marriage.

Xiao Tang said: "The teacher knows that I have an errand right now, and it will take two or three years to come back at the earliest...... How can you bring up family affairs at this time?"

Lin Shenzhou said: "I had intended this matter for a long time, you and * grew up together, and they know each other." And among the descendants in the capital, I am the only one who appreciates you the most. You also know that * lost my mother at a young age, I pity her, I can't help but pamper a little, but except for this, there is nothing bad, I only have this baby daughter, if I give her to someone else, I am not at ease, this is a piece. ”

Don lowered his eyes and listened. Lin Shenzhou said again: "Even if you want to receive that errand, the future is uncertain, but I am very confident in you, the emperor and I have the same mind, if you don't know that you can do this well, and you are also the best person to do this, how can I choose you to go? ”

Xiao Tang said: "Even so, I have been going for a few years, and I will inevitably be older after I come back, I am only afraid of delaying her youth, not to mention that although my teacher and the emperor look up to me, in fact, the road ahead is changeable, and I don't dare to say what will happen...... So I thought about it, and I still begged my teacher, before I came back, I still don't do anything, even if I get married, wait until I come back in a good way, okay?"

Lin Shenzhou thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are still thinking about *, do you think that if you are not in the past two years, maybe* you can find another son-in-law?"

Xiao Tang said: "I just don't want to restrain * first, she is also a stubborn person, if she really settles with me, she must also identify me, if I really have three long and two short, wouldn't it hurt her life?"

Lin Shenzhou pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I don't think I think so, but since you insist on this, then you must have your own reasons, so let's wait for you to come back and discuss this matter." ”

Later, Lin Shenzhou told Lin * about this, and Lin * listened, sighed and laughed, and said to Lin Shenzhou: "Even if he really has something, will I be happy to marry someone else? ”

Lin Shenzhou instead chirped: "What are you talking about, do you know that it is a bad character like you that makes Xiao Tang think too much?"

Lin * pouted, Lin Shenzhou looked at her for a moment, and suddenly asked again: "*, I asked you if you liked Xiao Tang before, but you didn't tell me directly, but now because Xiao Tang has some excuses, my father is a little apprehensive in his heart...... After all, he has always been a selfish person for his father, so he didn't ask you much about your thoughts?"

Lin * said: "What can I say? The matchmaker said the life of her parents, not to mention that my father has always been very accurate in seeing people...... When he said this, his face turned red, and he only said: "And...... I really don't think there are many people better than him. ”

After all, it was a girl who was shy, so she hid her face and ran away.

Lin * finished talking to Minli carefully, but he didn't mention the conversation between Lin Shenzhou and her later.

After listening to this, Min Li understood what was going on, neither of them spoke, and walked silently along the edge of the pool for a while, before Min Li said, "Speaking of which, what do you think of my brother?"

Lin * saw that she was asking the same question as Lin Shenzhou, so he smiled and said, "Just ask what you are doing here, your own brother, don't you know?"

Min Li also smiled: "You also know that it is my own brother, I naturally think he is good, but you are different, you and he are not a brother and sister." ”

Lin * blushed slightly, and after a while, he said, "Tell me to ...... After all, they all know the roots, and they are better than those people who are mixed up outside, not to mention that you also know your brother's temperament, temper and upbringing, not to mention, he is not one of those who loves to make flowers and willows, if he really follows him, he will definitely not be like those men who are inferior, today I want to be a maid, and Ming'er is greedy for a beautiful concubine, and he must only be good to me...... That alone is enough. ”

When Min Li heard this, she was dumbfounded and said, "You are really scared to death of me, and you can say these words, you are a girl, how can you think of this?"

Lin * simply put away his face and said: "What are you afraid of, aren't these things you should think about? Don't be afraid, you also listen carefully, if you choose a son-in-law in the future, it is only right to think like this, lest you don't think about it first, and you will marry rashly without knowing the high and low, and I don't know what kind of fire pit is waiting for you to boil." ”

Min Li pursed her lips and smiled, and then asked, "Then you think of your brother......?" After all, he was going to go for three or five years...... It's too long, how old are you when you come back?"

When Lin * heard this, he also sighed, but said categorically: "I also heard that if you go to that place, it will take two years to come back at the earliest, and it will be difficult to say if it is late...... However, since I have made up my mind to marry him, it will be sooner or later, sooner or later, I will marry him, and what will I be afraid of for two years?

Speaking of this, Lin * suddenly lowered his voice again, sighed and said: "Besides, I think your brother refuses to marry me first, and he also wants to test my mind to see if I have kept the ...... for him in the past few years."

Min Li was shocked when she heard this, stroked her chest and said, "Why didn't I think about it so much? But you don't have to think about the latter one, I think my brother must just be unwilling to take you down, alas...... You guys, thinking so much are you tired, I just look at you on weekdays, but I didn't expect that when it was my turn, I thought about it so meticulously, and even thought about what I didn't have to think about so clearly. ”

Lin* raised his head again and smiled: "This is natural, isn't it child's play for a lifelong event? Since we have talked about it, I will teach you again, -- no matter how comfortable we are now, we will always marry men in the future, why be ashamed to answer, you should always know if you know." In the future, when you choose a son-in-law, not to mention the far, there are two contrasts between the close: one is your brother, the other is Ling Jingshen, if you pick someone, you have to pick your brother, and what you can't choose is Ling Jingshen. ”

Min Li laughed in surprise, bit her handkerchief and said: "I know that you love your brother, so you just feel that he is better, how did Brother Jingshen offend you, and how did he become the kind of person who can't be married?"

Lin * snorted: "He's not a bad person, it's not bad to look at him coldly, but if he is born well, can he be eaten?

Min Li lived in the mansion and didn't hear anything about Ling Jingshen, so she hurriedly asked.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Lin * whispered a few words in her ear, and Minli's face was red and white, and said, "It's really true?"

Lin said: "Isn't it? His mother-in-law was so angry that she beat him up......" and then laughed again.

Min Lisi thought about it, silently biting her fingers and refusing to speak.

Lin* looked left and right, and said, "Where is your brother now? He is about to leave soon, I want to meet him......"

Min Li was about to point her in the direction when she heard Lin * say again: "Ling Jingshen escorted me here today, he must be lazy and take time to talk to your brother at this moment?"

When Min Li heard this, she suddenly perked up and said, "I'm also idle now, so why don't I accompany you to find my brother." He's about to go out, and he's really not going to be there for a moment......" At this, his eyes turned red.

So Min Li and Lin * came to the front, just as Xiao Tang and Ling Jingshen sent Ying Lanfeng back, the two met in the corridor, saluted, and Min Li said to Ling Jingshen again: "Brother Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Ling Jingshen looked her up and down and said, "It's been more than a year, and my sister is now older, so it's not as common as before." ”

Lin * watched from the sidelines, very dazzling, but he didn't care about it, and only said to Xiao Tang: "I have a few words to tell you, you come here." With that, he walked away a few steps.

When Ling Jingshen heard this, the corners of his mouth were raised, just look at Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he ignored it, and only said to Min Li: "And wait here." ”

Then he walked to the side with Lin * until he walked to the waterfront pavilion in the middle of the corridor.

Lin* stopped, looked back at Xiao Tang, and said, "How sooner or later are you leaving?"

Xiao Tang said: "There are still five days." ”

Lin * lowered his eyes and was silent, and after a while, he said: "Now there is no one else, you tell me the truth, what is the reason why you went to my house to tell your father that you would not be married for the time being?"

Xiao Tang moved his eyebrows slightly, and Lin * said: "You don't have to comfort me, just tell the truth, are you doing this for my sake, or do you not have me in your heart, so you excuse yourself?"

Xiao Tang's eyebrows frowned slightly, he didn't expect Lin * to say this, and he was speechless for a while.

The wind came up from the lake, blowing the clothes of the two of them, just like their thoughts were surging.

After a moment, Xiao Tang said slowly: "*, you should know that my heart for you ...... It's the same as for Minli. ”

When Lin heard this, his eyes opened slightly, his hands clenched the corners of his cloak, and after a while, he said, "What is this?"

Don Jr. said, "*, you should understand what I mean. ”

Lin * looked at him, his eyes were red at first, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I naturally understand, you treat me like a relative like a Minli, right? Actually, it's also very good, if we become relatives in the future, wouldn't it happen to be a close relative?"

Xiao Tang frowned deeply: "*, I don't want to mistake you, with your appearance, character, and ...... background"

Lin * waved his hand and abruptly interrupted him, saying, "You don't have to tell me this, what about your appearance and character? But you don't like me!"

Xiao Tang saw that she was faintly angry, so he said, "*, I naturally like you." ”

Lin * immediately understood, and said, "Is it like liking Minli?"

Xiao Tang smiled bitterly, Lin * stared at him for a while, suddenly turned around and walked to the railing, turned his back to Xiao Tang and said nothing, Xiao Tang looked at her back, knowing that she must be in a complicated mood at the moment, but why is he?

In fact, for Xiao Tang, agreeing to the marriage of the Lin family is really beneficial and harmless.

Lin Shenzhou has been immersed in the court for decades, not to mention the emperor's favor, and his connections are even more unfathomable, if the two families are married, with Lin Shenzhou, the father-in-law, the future of Xiao Tang is naturally like a tiger wings, and the icing on the cake is a good thing that complements each other, but if he refuses, although Lin Shenzhou will not turn his face, but ......

What's more, Lin Shenzhou personally spoke, and what the teacher decided, he was naturally not allowed to agree. And Lin * is not the kind of woman who is annoying, and she has grown up together...... Xiao Tang couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment.

The two of them were in such a situation in the pavilion, a hundred meters away next to them, Ling Jingshen and Minli were standing opposite each other, Ling Jingshen looked at this scene and said with a smile: "It doesn't seem to be very good......

Min Li looked at him with a pale smile, and the silhouette in the sun was more handsome, and she also bowed her head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that my brother's heart is not in my sister." After saying this, he knew that he was speechless, and his cheeks were red for a while.

Ling Jingshen looked back at her when he heard this, and asked with interest, "Oh? Could it be that he has a crush?

Min Li was embarrassed, and saw that Ling Jingshen was just asking, and didn't seem to notice that one of her daughters was talking so nonsense, so she was a little relieved, and only whispered: "There has never been...... It's just that I'm talking nonsense. ”

Ling Jingshen looked at her with her head down, a little shy and embarrassed, and understood in her heart, so she only smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just think Minli is 'childlike words', don't worry...... I listened to it with this ear, and when it came out with this ear, I forgot about it immediately. ”

Minli couldn't help but laugh when she heard him laugh, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was his thoughtfulness.

Min Li couldn't help but look up at Ling Jingshen again, facing his flickering eyes, her heart was in turmoil, she didn't know what to say for a while, she just nervously wrung her handkerchief.

Ling Jingshen looked over there again and said, "Huh...... Seems to be done?"

It turned out that over there, Lin * turned around, I don't know what to say to Xiao Tang, and after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Tang to speak, so he pulled his cloak and walked to this side.

Min Li looked up in a panic, she happened to see this scene, she really wanted to take this opportunity to say a few more words to Ling Jingshen, but she was so stupid that she couldn't even open it, she was anxious, but she saw Ling Jingshen put aside herself and took a few steps forward.

At this moment, Lin * came over in a hurry, and when he saw him, he threw down a sentence and said, "Go home." He didn't look at him again, just said goodbye to Minli, and hurried forward again.

Ling Jingshen raised his eyebrows, so he had to open his mouth to Xiao Tang and make a "I'm leaving" mouth, and then turned back to Min Li and said, "I'll come to visit Sister Minli another day." ”

He smiled at her again, lifted his cloak to the side, and walked after Lin*.

After the two of them went, Min Liwu stood in place, unable to return to her senses, and her heart was full of the smile of Ling Jingshen...... I was in a daze, but I heard someone ask in my ear: "Why are you still standing here, aren't you frozen?"

Min Li looked up in a panic, only to see that it was Xiao Tang coming over. She looked left and right, and saw that Ling Jingshen had disappeared, and her heart was stunned, thinking of that handsome smile, and slightly sweet, but because she saw Xiao Tang's pale face, she coughed and asked, "Brother, what did Sister Fang Cai say to you?"

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "It's nothing." ”

Min Li paused, and finally asked, "Brother, when you come back, will you really marry Sister *?"

Xiao Tang was speechless, and only said after a while: "If there is no accident, it should be." ”

Min Li listened and said quietly, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Tang saw that her face was red, and she was a little distracted, afraid that she would be cold, so he accompanied her back to the room slowly.

Let's say that Lin * hurriedly went out, because she was still a little confused in her heart, when she turned around from the porch, she was hooked by a plum blossom that leaned out, and she fell backwards, but fortunately Ling Jingshen followed closely behind, and when he saw this, he rushed forward and hugged her by the waist.

Lin * stood firm, frightened, and suddenly saw Ling Jingshen holding him, and suddenly didn't think about it, raised his hand, and slapped him with a "snap".

Ling Jingshen was slowly letting go of his hand, and he might as well take a slap on his face, and pale red fingerprints suddenly appeared on his snow-white cheeks.

Lin * slapped it, and her hand was slightly numb, this was the first time she hit someone in her life, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

The two looked at each other, Lin * saw that Ling Jingshen's eyes were dark and slightly cold, and he was a little unsure of what to do, but Ling Jingshen took a step back, lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's me who is rude." ”

Seeing him like this, Lin * also straightened his expression, turned his head and said coldly: "No need next time." He was resentful, so he kicked the plum branch again, and then went forward.
