Chapter 8: Waking Up Early in the Night's Dream (2)

As soon as it was dawn that day, Lin Chang called his children to the study, he put down the shelf that was indispensable in the past, and looked at his children lovingly and said earnestly: "I have worked hard for you these days, I know that the premature death of your mother has hurt you very much, and I try my best to understand your feelings." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So the past ends here, I won't pursue it, so don't be angry. ”

After listening to his father's words, the two looked at each other in disbelief. Lin Risheng thought that his mother's death had replaced his father's long-lost conscience, but the next words completely broke his beautiful vision.

Lin Chang stood up with his hands in his hands, paced slowly in the room, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "Su Man, you have all seen it, I won't say much, she has been with me for some days, but because of your mother, I have never given her a name, and I am very sorry not to go, she takes good care of me on weekdays, and she is also virtuous and frugal, I believe she will be a good mother." I plan to officially marry her into the mansion next month, don't worry, even if she enters the mansion, she will only be a concubine, and your mother will always be the only mistress of the Lin family. ”

Lin Risheng only felt dazed in an instant, as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky. Only Lin Yueyuan had already seen through his father's cold heart and sneered frequently.

Half a sound, the two sides were silent. Lin Yueyuan suddenly jumped like thunder: "I don't agree, it's the mourning period, you actually want to hold a big wedding banquet, if it's someone else, that woman still wants to enter our Lin family openly, it's just a fool's dream." ”

Lin Risheng restrained his anger slightly, and said earnestly: "Dad, you want to continue the string, and my son has no objection." It's not up to us children to marry anyone. But my mother has just passed away, and her bones are still cold, how can you bear to break her heart when she is alive, and let her die after she dies. ”

Lin Chang didn't get angry or feel guilty in the face of his children's accusations, but just said quietly: "I don't need to discuss with you about the continuation of the string, and I said it so well because I was afraid of your mother." The matter has been decided, and there is no need to say more. ”

Lin Chang's insistence on going his own way made Lin Yueyuan slam the door and leave. Lin Risheng's persuasion was useless, and he could only return in a huff.

Lin Yueyuan, who had been planning to run away from home, still lost to the scheming Lin Chang. The door had been locked in their sleep, and no matter how much she had eyes, she was only like a imprisoned lark, unable to fly with wings.

No matter how much the two protested, they couldn't change Lin Chang's decision. Lin Chang felt like he had eaten a scale, and seemed to want to re-establish his authority with the absolute obedience of the two.

Lin Risheng was defeated early in the confrontation between father and son, but Lin Yueyuan inherited Chen Ping's excellent quality of becoming more and more courageous, and vowed to fight his father to the end.

A few days later, Lin Yueyuan, who was taking a nap, was woken up by a roaring firecracker, she kicked off the quilt in a rage, and knocked off the bright dress held by the maid. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she kept pacing around the house, and the maid was forced to risk being beaten to remind her that the auspicious time was approaching.

She found all kinds of excuses to delay, but Lin Chang insisted that even if she was sick and bedridden, she would carry her to the front hall for tea. She is not such a person who succumbs so easily, since Lin Chang has to go to her, she has to make a good look.

She opened the wardrobe, threw out a bunch of splendid clothes, and took out the mourning clothes that Chen Ping wore when she was buried, she happily put on the white mourning clothes, scattered her hair, and only inserted a plain white silk flower on the sideburns, and did not use any jewelry rouge, wrapped the gold silk soft whip around her waist, and swaggered out of the door.

When the maids saw her dress, they were so frightened that they hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and a group of maids blocked the door, grabbed her legs and pulled her arms, dragged her back to the house, and made her head hurt with chatter. She had an idea and shouted: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, you let go, I'll change it." ”

The maids were pushed away by her, and they all knew that the young lady had a lot of ideas since she was a child, and they were wary of staring at her. She walked to the bedside, and suddenly tore off the curtain with all her might, jumped on the table and threw it at their heads, like a great net covering them. She took advantage of the chaos to rush out the door, locked them in the room, and rushed straight to the wedding hall.

Su Man was wearing a red wedding robe, sitting in the main hall of the Lin family and receiving congratulations and blessings from everyone. She finally waited for this day, she finally became the mistress of the Lin family with her eyebrows raised, no matter how many obstacles there were ahead, she would be fearless in overcoming obstacles. She had always had a proper smile on her face, neither ostentatious nor arrogant, and everyone took it for granted that the new lady was a gentle and virtuous woman, but her ambition and lust for power had been overwhelmed by her seemingly feminine appearance.

Just as she was immersed in a beautiful fantasy. Lin Yueyuan suddenly appeared in front of everyone in mourning clothes, and the smile on her face was like a rose that was cold at the beginning of its bloom, and suddenly withered. She looked at Lin Chang, who was sitting next to her with a sad face, with tears in her eyes, and raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears.

There was a buzz in the crowd, and Lin Risheng was shocked and frightened, but he still stood in front of his sister.

Lin Chang felt great humiliation in the strange eyes of everyone, and the anger in his heart had already turned upside down, but he still had to maintain his good upbringing, and only scolded in a low voice: "On the day of the big day, what do you look like, and the dress prepared for you?" ”

Lin Yueyuan said to him confidently: "The mother is not full of frustration, how can the daughter take off her filial piety." ”

She used filial piety to pressure him, he knew that he was wrong, and some people in the crowd began to make irresponsible remarks. Lin Risheng hung his head in shame, looking at his brightly colored dress quite piercing.

Lin Chang didn't want to cause everyone to talk about it anymore, so he thought about completing the procedure quickly and dispersing. He looked at his daughter, who was standing below with a sharp and unruly spirit, and was a little helpless.

The maid brought the tea to the two of them, and Lin Risheng secretly came to her sister's side to persuade her, but she stiffened her face and was noncommittal.

After the two of them successfully finished toasting Lin Chang with tea, Lin Risheng took the lead in kneeling down in front of Su Man with the tea. Although he knew that he was so ashamed of his biological mother under Jiuquan, for the sake of family peace, he had to swallow his anger and take a step back to open the sky.

When he saw that his sister was not moving, he turned back to her and made a look at her. She took the tea and sneered, Lin Risheng finished the congratulations, and Lin Yueyuan still stood without kneeling.

Su Man pretended to be kind and drank Lin Risheng's tea, and glanced at Lin Yueyuan defiantly.

Lin Yueyuan sneered and walked up to Su Man without saluting or greeting, only handing the teacup in front of her.

Su Man smiled and didn't pick it up, just let her stand dryly.

Lin Yueyuan looked at her without showing weakness, standing as upright and unyielding as a warrior.

Lin Chang was afraid that his daughter's temper would come up and ruin the wedding banquet again, so he coughed lightly and signaled Su Man to take a step back and calm things down.

Su Man smiled softly, reached out to pick up the teacup, as soon as her hand touched the edge of the teacup, she suddenly pushed a cup of hot tea and sprinkled it all at Lin Yueyuan's face.

This change was only in a blink of an eye, and everyone had not come back to their senses, and Su Man had already cried loudly: "I know that Miss doesn't look down on me from being born lowly, and wants to prevent me from entering the house, I also understand my identity, I just want to live a peaceful and stable life with my master, and I never dare to ask for anything, you just hate me in your heart, why embarrass me in front of everyone on this happy day." ”

She began to think only that the wicked wanted to sue, but when she cried and cried, she really thought of her miserable life experience, so that she really did the fake show, and the crying was particularly sad and pitiful.

Lin Yueyuan only felt ridiculous when she listened to her crying, and she felt even more disgusting when she looked at her pretentious appearance. She was really impulsive, and stepped forward and gave her a loud slap. This slap stopped her crying at once, she looked at Lin Yueyuan in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

But this time it also woke up Lin Chang, he knew that he couldn't pamper his daughter so much anymore, and he had to discipline her well in front of everyone. Buddhism's cloud karma is really good, Lin Yueyuan just gave someone a slap in the face, and she was immediately retributed. Lin Chang avenged Su Man, and half of her face quickly became red and swollen. She didn't make noise, didn't scream, didn't hide or run, and was forced to take it down. She stared at Lin Chang with resentment, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she said in a dumb voice: "Okay, I remember this slap, one day I will get it back tenfold and hundredfold." After saying that, she rushed to the courtyard and fell off the courtyard wall with a sigh of anger.

Lin Risheng's on-the-spot reaction was far less flexible than his sister's, although he was already cautiously guarding against possible changes in his heart, he still only watched and did not have time to stop anything.

My sister ran away from home with a lot of resentment, but my father didn't have the slightest intention of looking for her back. He couldn't rest assured, so he chased him out.

As soon as he ran into the yard, his father's stern voice sounded behind him: "Sunrise, you come back for me." Who allowed you to chase her, even if such an unfilial daughter does not leave, I will drive her out of the house. ”

Even if my sister is at fault, you are at fault first. This rebuttal immediately popped up in his heart, but he couldn't talk back to his father, so he had to kneel in the courtyard, kowtow and plead: "Father is angry, my sister is young and ignorant, she angers her parents, and she is guilty of blame, please allow my son to find her and punish her again." What's more, my sister is still young, and she is out alone, so I am afraid that something will happen. Ask the father to allow the son to leave first, and then return to make amends to the mother. ”

Lin Risheng spoke quite measuredly, reasonable, Lin Chang's anger suddenly disappeared a lot, and he waved his hand to signal him: He agreed.

Lin Yueyuan ran frantically after she turned out of the Lin Mansion, and before the passerby who was hit received an apology, she disappeared into the corner of the street. She ran as hard as she could, from the bustling streets into the dense forests of Xiao Sen.

The darkness of the sky spread his black wings, and the world fell silent. Lin Yueyuan, who was running at great speed, suddenly tripped over a slender but warm thing, and fell straight to the ground, without moving.

Lin Yueyuan felt tired at this time, lying on the ground covered with leaves, she turned over on her back to the sky, panting for breath, and suddenly saw a black shadow slowly pressing towards her eyes. She slammed to her feet and sat up, clutching the whip at her waist alertly, and yelling at the shadow, "Who are you?" ”

The black shadow took two steps back, and lit a fire of its own. Lin Yueyuan looked at him by the light of the fire, and saw that the man was in rags, but he could vaguely distinguish that he was wearing a gray monk's robe, his hair was scattered, covering most of his face, only a few white Sensen's teeth were exposed, he was holding a big pu fan, and he was wearing a pair of Taoist rotten cloth shoes on his feet.

But Lin Yueyuan seemed to be used to seeing it, took a breath a little complainingly, lay down on the ground again, and said to him impatiently: "It's you again, it's unfortunate that you came, Lin Chang has no time to compete with you this time." ”

The man smiled, shook his fan, squatted beside her and said with a smile: "Why is your father always untrustworthy, last time I came to Shunan, I said that I went out to visit friends, and this time he went, it doesn't matter, I will look for him." Besides, I didn't try to compete with him, I came from the border, and I saw an incurable disease and wanted to ask him for advice. ”

Lin Yueyuan snorted, closed his eyes and smacked his lips: "He is busy with his newly married wife now, how can he pay attention to you?" ”

The man took a breath, frowned and shook his head, and sighed: "Mrs. Lin is decisive and capable, arrogant and generous, and quite manly. He is not satisfied with such a good wife, and he has to marry another, which is really a bit long, throwing away the old and greedy for the new, presumably your mother must be unhappy. You should be with your mother all your life, why are you running around, are you angry with your father? ”

He spoke softly and charitably, and praised her mother, who had suffered so much of her grievances that she could not help but cry in a low voice: "My mother is dead. ”

The man looked sad and asked in agony, "Mrs. Lin actually died?" I don't know when, I should go and pay a respect. ”

Lin Yueyuan sobbed, "It happened a month ago. ”

"This ......" he suddenly realized, only to understand that her white dress was actually a mourning dress, so he was a little annoyed: "Before this mourning period has passed, he will marry someone else." Such a lack of affection is really not the work of a gentleman. He sighed and shook his head.

Seeing that Lin Yueyuan was sad, he stroked her head and persuaded gently: "Girl, don't be sad." Although I despise what your father did, it is too dangerous for you to run away in such a daze. What if you are abducted and sold, not to mention that there are occasional wild beasts in this forest, you better go home early. ”

Lin Yueyuan was helped up by him, he urged her a few times, but she still didn't move, he had to sigh and said, "Why don't I be a good person to the end, send you home." ”

She suddenly knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed: "Senior, forgive me for being rude to you before. It's hard for me to go back to that home, I just ask my predecessors to take me as an apprentice, I am willing to follow my predecessors all over the world as my home, just give medical benefits, and only ask my predecessors to take me in. She kept kowtowing as she spoke, and she didn't get up no matter how much he tried to persuade her.

Lin Risheng's shouting voice sounded in the empty and lonely forest, his voice was rapid and hoarse, obviously he had been looking for her for a long time.

She responded a few words to the voice, Lin Risheng hurriedly ran over after the sound, grabbed his sister and looked up and down, except for the forehead was scratched a little skin by the dead branches scattered on the ground, there were no other scars, his heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell, but he cried in annoyance: "You disobedient girl." Although you had a quarrel with your father, you gave your mother a breath in the end. On the other hand, I, as a son, cannot disobey my father or do anything for my mother, and I am of utter uselessness. ”

After he finished speaking, he was shocked to find that there was an outsider next to him, he settled down, recognized the person who came and immediately said: "It turned out to be Ji Zhengji's seniors, and the juniors are polite." ”

Ji Zheng has always had a good impression of the Lin family, a young man with excellent character, he nodded and smiled: "Risheng Xian's nephew has always been rare, and he is becoming more and more provocative. He pointed at him and said to Lin Yueyuan, "Your brother is looking for you, there are still people in this family who care about you, go back with him." ”

Lin Yueyuan, who was lost and depressed, seemed to wake up from a dream, she grabbed her brother's arm hard, and said with a light in her eyes: "Brother, let's go together and leave that ruthless home." ”

Lin Risheng showed a confused look on his face, and Lin Yueyuan further said, "Do you still want to go back and see their faces and live?" Why don't we follow our predecessors together, isn't your ambition to be Hua Tuo Bian Que and the king of medicine saints, Lin Chang just wants to force you to take the imperial examination, and if you go on like this, it will run counter to your wishes after all, why don't you go back to heaven and earth and be at ease. ”

He was silent, and said in a daze, "I don't know." ”

Ji Zheng laughed, took the shoulders of the two and said: "Everyone in the world is tired, or chasing fame, or profit, or greedy for money, or lustful, or trapped in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, or falling into hatred and infatuation, even the so-called six pure monks and Taoists can not escape the troubles of the red dust, hey, think about it, if you want to completely let go of the worldly fetters, you can only become crazy and stupid." In fact, everyone in the world is stupid and does not know the benefits of madness and dementia, only in this way can they be unrestrained and chic and free. I'm used to being alone, so I'm always on the move, and it's hard to live in one place. If you two really follow me all day, I'll be really upset. It is not impossible to accept you as a vain, but if you want to go with me, you can't. If you do not want to go home, why not go to the place where I am staying for a while. ”

Lin Risheng had no idea for a while, so he had to follow his sister and go with him.
