Follow-up (xiii) conflicts
Gu Jing objected to his sister's love for Lin Dong at the beginning, even if this person is only eight years old, what if he has a bright future, but that body is really not enough; Later, Lin Dong accidentally saved his sister, and it was one thing to be grateful, but he still felt that the two were not very suitable.
I thought that he had analyzed it with his mother that day, and his mother would persuade his sister to change her mind, and if the two did not intersect, her sister would not be cranky, but now even her mother agreed with her sister's absurd idea. No wonder when the youngest son of Xiangyang Hou is full moon, his sister will dress up to attend, at that time, he thought that his mother wanted to dress his sister up beautifully to discuss marriage, it turned out that he would do this to see the daughter of the Lin family, not to mention that his sister also met and talked to Lin Dong alone.
This Lin Dong's thoughts are already clear, and it is clear that he has a crush on his sister.
Knocked his elm head with his hand, he always felt that he was smarter than others, but he didn't even notice this, and the smile on his mouth was even colder, he didn't want his sister to be a widow as soon as she got married.
He is such a close sister, of course, I hope that she can marry happily, and I don't want her to fall into the fire pit because of impulse or fascination by appearances.
Now that he has no success in persuading his sister, he naturally sets his sights on Lin Dong, as long as Lin Dong is not delusional and wants to propose marriage, it is useless for his sister to think about it, so he found Lin Dong.
"Gu Shizi." Lin Dong couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this person appear in the Hanlin Academy, but he still got up and politely called the other party.
After the high school champion, he was awarded the official position of the Liupin Hanlin Academy, and naturally he had to take office after the excitement, and it is estimated that the matter of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors will be postponed.
"Lord Lin." Gu Jing responded with a smile, it was one thing to disapprove of Lin Dong marrying his own sister, so he rushed to Lin Dong that he had saved Gu Xuefei, and he would give him a good face at this time.
"Did Gu Shizi come here on purpose today?" When Lin Dong looked at Gu Jing like this, he knew that the other party was here for himself, otherwise how could he deliberately go around to the place where he worked?
"Lord Lin is worthy of being the champion, and he can be selected as soon as he guesses." Gu Jing said, "Last time, Lord Lin saved my sister, I haven't thanked Lord Lin properly, and I always don't want to go, this time I set up a small banquet, and I want to invite Lord Lin to attend, so that I can have a chance to thank me." ”
Speaking of Gu Xuefei, the lines on Lin Dong's face softened a little, since he saw it at the full moon banquet at his sister's house last time, he hadn't seen that lovely girl for a long time, and it was impossible for him not to want to.
Sometimes he would deliberately bypass the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and go home, hoping to have a chance encounter with her, but the results were unsatisfactory, and he did not meet Gu Xuefei who was out once.
"Since Gu Shizi invited him kindly, it would be disrespectful to him." He was quick to respond.
Gu Jing saw Lin Dong's cheerful appearance, and it was not that he didn't like this young man, but his gaze slipped over the other party's not strong figure, and he sighed again, as a man, Lin Dong was really thin.
agreed on a time and place with Lin Dong, but he did not stay for long, but left quickly.
Lin Dong watched the other party leave, and was about to turn around and return to his seat, when Ye Xurong suddenly flashed in, and looked out suspiciously, "Brother Dong, why do I seem to have seen the son of the Gu family?" Am I dazzled? ”
As soon as Lin Dong saw Ye Xurong coming in, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he instructed Shi Mo to make tea, "Didn't you just transfer to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" How can I revisit the old place when I have time? ”
Ye Xurong's promotion is very fast, and it has only been two or three years since he entered the Hanlin Academy to serve as the editor of the seventh grade, and now he is already the experience of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute of the sixth grade, and his career is progressing steadily, of course, this has something to do with his family background, so many people dare not say anything even if they are envious, jealous and hateful.
However, this is incomparable with the speed of his brother Ye Xuyao's career promotion back then, Ye Xuyao was not a mere six-grade official at his age in the past, so he didn't have much ambition and was not enough.
"Just have some free time, come and see you." Ye Xurong sat opposite Lin Dong unceremoniously, anyway, the two of them were close friends, so they didn't pay attention to that set of false etiquette, "What?" Still adapting? I've been here for a long time, and my roots are still a little bit, so you can talk to me if you have any troubles. ”
When he was here, no one dared to mess with him, of course, he was not the character of a little bully, even if there were people who didn't like him, but his popularity was still good.
"Humility, huh?" Lin Dong smiled extremely relaxedly, "It's okay, it's not just you who has a background, and no one else will do anything to me if you look at my two brothers-in-law." ”
The officialdom of the capital is a spider web, the background is complicated, as long as you have a background and ability, there is no reason why you can't mix here, unless you are a person with strength and no background, you will be excluded.
Although he has read the sage books for nearly 20 years, he has never been a pedantic person, he is a fool if he has the power, he thinks that he is not so high, even if he wins the champion by himself, it is difficult to get ahead here in his life, like his grandfather Lin Youde, who is almost a myth of promotion by his own ability, without the right time and place, he can't do it at all.
So as soon as his grandfather died, the Lin family was scattered, and most of the people who had no foundation were like this.
Ye Xurong slapped Lin Dong with a smile, "I know that your kid has a bright head, unlike those nerds, who only know how to envy, envy and hate, and disdain to put down their bodies to socialize, they deserve to be unsuccessful for the rest of their lives." ”
Lin Dong said with a smile, "If that's all it takes, then it can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions, but it can still be respected, but I'm afraid that it's the hypocrite who secretly falls into the well and harms people, that's the scum." ”
Ye Xurong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Near gentlemen and far villains are the principle of friendship between people of my generation." After a pause, he thought of Gu Jing again, "Then what is the matter with Gu Shizi looking for you?" ”
"It's not a big deal." Lin Dong told Ye Xurong of Gu Jing's intention, "It's nothing more than inviting me to the banquet to thank me for saving his sister that day." ”
"That's what it was." Ye Xurong suddenly realized, "By the way, how does his sister look?" Anyway, you haven't married a wife yet, so it's not bad to think about this marriage that fell from the sky......"
"Brother Rong." Lin Dong blushed and snorted, "This is about the reputation of other girls, how can it be used as a material for small talk?" ”
"Why not?" Ye Xurong is not the young man who can only read back then, after coming into contact with officialdom, his essence has not changed, but he has become more tactful, after all, even if he is a high-level person, he has heard a lot of yellow jokes, he can't pretend not to associate with others, right? Besides, he didn't say anything unpleasant to blaspheme the daughter of the princess. "If you are really interesting, talk openly and honestly with your sister-in-law, she is only afraid that what she is most passionate about now is your marriage, don't you know? Recently, the most people who have set foot in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion are the icemen. ”
Lin Dong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the eldest sister's movements to be so fast? "My sister, is it true that the one she sees the most is the Iceman?"
"Can I still lie to you?" Ye Xurong smiled, "Actually, it's not just for you, my little sister has not yet agreed to marry, my mother is anxious about to have gray hair, and half of this iceman is going to my little sister." Now even my mother is infected, and every time I go home, I hear her talking about which girl is better and which is stronger, and my ears are calloused. ”
Ye Manzi's marriage has become Ye Zhong's heart disease, which is a well-known secret in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, so even Su Miaojue, who is still in confinement and has nothing to do, is not exempt from vulgarity, and she is good friends with Lin Long, so she naturally has heard about Lin Dong's affairs, and she has to take a mouthful.
Lin Dong suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, "My sister is just too impatient, how can this child be in a hurry about the marriage?" ”
"Don't say it, now that you have a big Dengke, this little Dengke can't always be unfounded, right?" Ye Xurong looked clear, "Besides, a young champion like you, there is a girl family in the capital who wants to marry you, and when the time comes, it is good to pick a support door, but then again, this girl from the ancient family has a good background, and she is also a suitable candidate." ”
"Don't mess with the media, I don't have any personal relationship with her." Lin Dong said busily, even if there is really anything, there can be no gossip at this time.
How could Ye Xurong not understand Lin Dong, I saw him leaning close to Lin Dong's ear and whispering, "You really don't like people?" Don't feel excited? ”
With his identity as a person who came over, his heart is moved, just as he admits that he likes his little lady, so he can love with Hemeimei after marriage.
Lin Dong didn't answer hard this time, but he didn't say yes either, it's just that the roots of his ears are so red that they can drip blood.
At this time, in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, Lin Long's South Garden Warm Pavilion was full of Lin family daughters.
I saw Lin Long, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, turned her eyes to the mother-in-law who reported to her, "The old lady of the Gu family hanged herself two days after she was sent back?" ”
"Back to the grandmother's words, it was indeed hanged, the old slave asked a lot of people, and said that the old lady couldn't see it, and was afraid that it would affect the marriage of the juniors in the family, so she finally died in the dead of night, by the way, she still left a suicide note, and she came to inspect it, and it was indeed suicide." The old woman didn't dare to hide everything she had heard.
"I've seen this Gu Jin, but I can't see that in the end, it's still high." Quan Meihuan, who came over with her youngest daughter Lin Qi with a cheeky face, interjected, and since she figured it out that day, she no longer stared at Lin Lu's eyes, and sometimes it was good to be confused.
Moreover, from the tragic ending of the Gu Jin family, thinking of his own experience, he naturally understands why the Gu Jin family couldn't live and chose to hang himself.
Lin Lushi sighed, "If she is sent back to her home at this age, she is afraid that she will not have the face to live." ”
This world is so cruel to women, no matter whether they are from good or bad backgrounds, they are all the same.
Lin Qi didn't have much sadness and sadness, and while gnawing on the food in his hand, he said, "It's sour." ”
"What acid?" Quan Meihuan was nervous about her little daughter, who had just conceived her second child, and was busy looking at the food in her hand, "If it's too sour, let them serve it and change to another plate ......"
"That's it, Sister Qi, don't hold on, it's normal for this woman to change her taste when she is pregnant." Lin Lu's family was also nervous.
The two of them called the girl in again and asked Lin Qi not to eat, and their anxious expressions made people want to laugh.
Lin Long glanced at the rose cake in his sister's hand, this cake was more than sweet, but it was not sour, his own mother and Erniang were too nervous, "Okay, Qi'er, don't play with Niang and Erniang, you eat rose cake, and the rose cake made by my chef is moderately sweet, but not sour." ”
Quan Meihuan and Lin Lushi found out that Lin Qi was eating rose cake, the two looked at each other, and couldn't help but stare at Lin Qi, this can also be used as a joke?
Lin Qi didn't care much about it, "Are you poor and nervous or rely on me?" When I say sour, I mean your words, not the delicious rose cake in my hand. After a pause, she saw that her mother and her second mother both had a straight face, and she was busy making compensation, "Okay, okay, it's not mine, okay?" Actually, I don't think this Gu Jin clan is so great, sacrificing yourself for others, you should be singing? ”
Lin Long waved away the maid who was summoned in by Quan Meihuan and Lin Lu's family, nodded and said, "I also think it's not that simple, as the saying goes, it's better to die than to live, even if the Gu Jin clan is sent back to his parents' house, he must be unwilling to be the majority, how could he choose to hang himself so soon?" ”
"I'm afraid that her family is pressing, and she can't do it." Quan Meihuan is humane with herself, after all, this kind of taste is not something that people who have come to can't experience at all. When her reputation was stinky, many people in the Quan family wished that she would die quickly, including her relatives and relatives.
"I think so, too." Lin Lushi agrees with Kwon on this issue.
Lin Long shook his head slightly, "I always feel that things are not so simple. After thinking for a while, he turned his gaze to the old woman who had reported before, "Why did the Gu family send this old lady home?" Or on the morning of my son's full moon feast? ”
"This old slave couldn't find out, the people before the Gu Jin clan were sold, and those who were driven away, and the people in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion had very tight mouths, and the old slaves couldn't pry out the words in their mouths." The old woman hurriedly replied, not daring to hide anything.
"Sister, I should have been given a gag order." Lin Qi said, "The day before, the daughter of the Gu family had an accident and was rescued by Brother Dong, and the day after that, the old lady of the Gu family was driven away, this time is too coincidental, in my opinion, the root cause is still in the daughter of the Gu family." Then he tilted his head a little puzzled, "How well-behaved this ancient girl is, I can't figure out what grievances she has with the old lady of the Gu family?" ”
"Well, the two are probably somewhat involved." Lin Long pondered for a while, and naturally agreed with his sister's analysis, "But the Gu Guo clan probably doesn't want to talk about this matter, so the subordinates in the house are not allowed to talk too much, as for this Gu Jin clan, it is estimated that the possibility of being forced to die is very high." ”
It is undeniable that the people of the Jin family directly strangled the Gu Jin family, and then made a false appearance of suicide and hanged themselves to deceive the world, it is undeniable that Lin Long's guess is very close to the truth at this time.
"There's something strange about this." She tapped on the low table and came to a conclusion, and then ordered, "Go, secretly bring the Jin couple to me, I have something to ask them." ”
"Yes, grandma." The old woman hurriedly stepped back.
"Sister, do you suspect anything?" Lin Qi asked curiously, even if he analyzed a long list, but at present, it seems that the biggest purpose of Gu Jin's death is to preserve the reputation of the Jin family's daughter, what other reason can she think of?
Lin Long's eyebrows frowned slightly, "It's not that I suspect anything, it's just that I don't feel like I'm steady, if it weren't for Brother Dong's heart for this ancient family's daughter, I really don't want to spend my mind on her, this ancient family is a little weird." ”
"What can be weird?" Quan Meihuan said, "According to me, it is nothing more than that the Gu Jin family has mastered the scandal that the Gu family cannot sue the population, so the Xuanping Marquis Mansion hinted that the Jin family is not only for her, but the Jin family does not want to affect the marriage of their daughters because of this old aunt and grandmother, and the two hit it off." ”
Inside the door of the mansion, who dares to pat their chests and say that they are clean and clean? Even her father weighed such a person, but I am afraid that there are a few things that are not visible, such things are too common in wealthy families.
Instead, he woke up the dreamer with a word, Lin Long came back to his senses and said, "Mother is reasonable, in my opinion, this unspeakable matter is still related to the concubine of the Gu family." ”
"Then this Xuanping Marquis Mansion is inevitably too domineering, and this life is also a human life." Lin Lu recited the Buddha, and there was unbearability in his heart.
Quan Meihuan turned her head to look at her, "Any human life is worthless in front of covering up ugly things, you are kind-hearted now, and others stab you in the back every day, this is something that cannot be prevented, you have to be hard-hearted in the future." ”
Even if she used to be sad and weak, but Quan Xiao should have taught her, after all, she is the daughter of a high-ranking family, the daughter of a dignified prince, and she will still understand what she should understand.
Lin Lushi was not unconvinced, her background was not good, but she had seen all the ugliness of human nature in those years, and she was not a little white rabbit who didn't understand anything, "It should be so, but I seem indecisive, if this ancient family daughter really has something to see, our brother Dong must not marry her." ”
At this moment, she made a quick decision.
"Erniang, don't worry, if this Gu family's daughter really has any serious injuries, even if I fight his brother Ridong and complain about me, I will never agree to marry the Gu family." Lin Long said very firmly.
"Me too." Lin Qi also assured Lin Lu with a serious face.
Even if they want to marry a high-ranking daughter to support the door, they can't marry a problematic bride, otherwise they won't be helping Dongdi at all but harming him.
Gu Xuefei on the other side sat with her mother again, but today she was haggard and her eyes were even more tearful, "Mother, what's wrong with me?" Why did Mrs. Ye look at another girl? is still the daughter of a petty official, am I so unbearable? ”
When she heard that Lin Long was actively looking at the girls from various families, she was in a bad mood, not to mention that when she heard that Lin Long was interested in the daughter of a six-rank official, her tears couldn't help but flow out.
Gu Guo hurriedly hugged his daughter and comforted, "This family matter is undecided, look at a few more to show her cautious treatment, it's not that my son is not good and people don't like it, don't be presumptuous." ”
"Mother, I don't mean to complain about Mrs. Ye, but I don't understand why I'm not behaving well?" Gu Xuefei looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, "It's useless for you to say I'm good, I have to be said that I'm good, mother, I really don't know where I lost my manners?" Even if I don't show contempt for that Lin Lu clan, I ......"
Gu Guo stroked his daughter's hair, "My mother said that you don't always blame yourself, no matter how good this Lin Dong is, it is limited, what kind of family can't you marry into according to your status and status?" According to the mother, even if she enters the palace as a concubine, it is more than enough. ”
"Mother, I don't want to enter the palace." Gu Xuefei said stubbornly, she never felt that the concubine had anything to envy, she had been locked up in the red walls and yellow tiles all her life, and it was difficult to see her family, it was better to marry an ordinary sweetheart, at least she could still communicate with her family from time to time.
"Mother, that's just an analogy, how many years has the emperor not been drafted? Now the middle palace pepper room is the only favorite, it is difficult for you to enter the palace, and my mother is reluctant to send you to such a place. Gu Guo smiled and tapped the bridge of his daughter's pretty nose.
Gu Xuefei burst into laughter, but when she thought of Lin Long's actions, she was heartbroken, "Mother, I really like Lin Zhuangyuan, if I can marry him as my wife in this life, even if Ming'er dies, I am willing, mother, you can help me, right?" ”
Gu Guo's face was also embarrassed, Lin Dong, the young man, was also very heartfelt, even her husband was in favor of the two families marrying, pondered for a while, and when her daughter pulled her sleeve and begged vigorously, she sighed and said with a look of admitting defeat, "Come on, even if I'm afraid of you, I want to think about anyone who can talk to Mrs. Ye, I asked her to go and ask the reason." ”
Originally, the marriage of the children should be the man's initiative, but the Lin family did not move, and the daughter begged bitterly, so she had to give up her face to help her daughter.
Gu Xuefei got her mother's words, the wrinkles between her eyebrows dissipated, and she said sweetly: "It's better to be a mother." ”
"You are all your mother's debts, and you are here to be cattle and horses to pay off debts in this life." Gu Guo said angrily.
Gu Xuefei could only smirk.
Just when Lin Long and Gu Guo had their own plans and moves, Lin Dong went to Gu Jing's appointment as scheduled.
Glancing at the so-called restaurant in front of him, Lin Dong's brows furrowed, this is the famous gold cave in the capital, Gu Jing deliberately told him the location, he didn't say the name of this drinking place, he came to know what kind of place it was.
"Master, should we go back?" Shi Mo knew that Lin Dong didn't like this occasion, and he hadn't set foot in it before.
"Let's go inside." Lin Dong raised his foot and stepped into the threshold.
Shimo had no choice but to hurry up, complaining in his heart about what kind of broken place this ancient prince had ordered, his father was a righteous man.
After reporting the name, there was a beautiful woman with a fragrant breeze to lead the way, and the woman saw that Lin Dong was very born, even if her body was thin, but her appearance was very handsome, which was the type of scholar she liked, so she leaned towards Lin Dong's side and tried to tempt him.
Lin Dong covered his nose and took a step back, "Girl, please respect yourself." ”
The beautiful woman who led the way covered her mouth and smiled, and threw a wink at Lin Dong, "Master, what are you pretending to be here, if you can see the slave family, it would be good to order the name ......of the slave family later."
Lin Dong really couldn't stand the fragrant aroma on her body that filled her nose, and took a big step back.
Shi Mo took a step forward to stop the shameless woman from approaching his master, "My grandfather has asthma, I can't smell the fragrance of your body, get away." ”
How could the beautiful woman who led the way ever be treated like this? glared at Shi Mo, and looked at Lin Dong who retreated unwillingly, snorted coldly, and then twisted his waist to lead the way in front.
Gu Jing, who was hiding in the box, naturally took in this scene, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's a person who doesn't sit still, I don't think you can make trouble, it's not easy to find such a man these days." The friend sitting across from him laughed.
"If he wants to mess up, he has to have the ability to do it." Gu Jing poured himself another drink, "My sister deserves better." ”
The friend sitting opposite him shook his head, sure enough, everyone who is an elder brother thinks that his sister is the best, in fact, in his eyes, Gu Xuefei and Lin Dong are very compatible. A noble family and a noble family are a match made in heaven.
When the door of the box was about to be pushed open, he left the window in a flash, without disturbing the meeting between Gu Jing and Lin Dong.
As soon as Lin Dong came in, he didn't smell the messy aroma in the house, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Gu Jing with his eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a gesture, "Let Gu Shizi wait for a long time." ”
"Where, Lord Lin, please be seated." Gu Jing returned a salute and made a gesture of please.
Lin Dong lifted his robe and sat down, sitting with his eyes in danger and letting the scantily clad maid pour wine, as for the beautiful woman who led the way before, she had already been sent out by Gu Jing.
Gu Jing picked up a glass of wine and said to Lin Dong, "Thank you for Lin Gongzi's righteous deeds that day." ”
Lin Dong also raised his wine glass to salute Gu Jing, "Gu Shizi is polite." ”
The two of them drank their glasses of wine together.
The smell of wine was a little rushed, but Lin Dong still praised, "Good wine." ”
"I didn't expect Lord Lin to like the things in the cup, it seems that we won't get drunk today." Gu Jing laughed out loud.
Lin Dong waved his hand lightly and said, "I have always only tasted one or two glasses of good wine, and I am not a lover of wine." ”
"Lord Lin is too modest." Gu Jing still laughed.
Lin Dong sat down again, "Beautiful things are things that everyone will like, and here is no exception. ”
"Oh?" Gu Jing smiled and raised his eyebrows and sat down, "I don't know if Lord Lin is engaged?" ”
"No, I didn't."
"Is there a sleeping lady in the house?"
"Not either."
Lin Dong's expression was there, but when he thought that the person opposite was the brother of Gu Xuefei's mother, his ears were quietly red, and he tried to behave better.
Gu Jing said in his heart, sure enough, he guessed that this Lin Dong was in the way of sexual affairs, otherwise how could he have not opened meat at such an old age? Just like although he didn't marry a wife, there were as many as four or five girls in the room, and he tasted the joy of fish and water when he was fifteen years old.
"Then how about I give Lord Lin two stunners?" After speaking, regardless of the suffocating smile on Lin Dong's face, he clapped his hands.
Immediately two girls in belly pockets and tulle came in, and these two girls still looked exactly the same, and there was no doubt that they should be twins.
"I've seen Lord Shi and Lord Lin." The two sisters said in unison, and their voices were as crisp as a yellow warbler chirping.
Lin Dong's expression gradually became serious, and he stood up and said, "What does Gu Shizi mean by this?" ”
"Lord Lin, this is my thank you for this." Gu Jing said with a smile, "These twin sisters were given to me a few days ago, and they have been kept in another courtyard, but I guarantee that they are still clean, and it is just right to bring back the red sleeves and add fragrance, Lord Lin should not refuse my kindness......"
Lin Dong didn't look at the pair of delicate twin sisters, and said solemnly, "Gu Shizi should take back this thank you gift, you don't need it in the future, and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion has already given a thank you gift." After a pause, he said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Jing to speak, and turned around to leave the golden cave.
"Wait." Gu Jing lowered his face and shouted, got up and stepped forward in front of Lin Dong, "Lord Lin, don't toast and don't eat and drink, you can not want this twin sister, but please don't beat my sister's idea again, she is not someone you can marry." ”
Lin Dong looked at the other party's arrogant face steadily, in his growth experience, he had seen too many such people, so he had no inferiority complex, "Gu Shizi, marriage has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of my parents, and I have not made a marriage alliance with Gu Girl, but even if I really want to propose, it will be because Gu Hou and his wife answer me, and it is not Gu Shizi's turn to come out." ”
As soon as the words fell, he crossed Gu Jing and prepared to leave.
Gu Jing grabbed Lin Dong's hand and said with a gloomy expression, "Lord Lin, do you really want to go your own way?" How is your body, you know, my sister can't marry you and be a widow. ”
What Lin Dong doesn't like the most is that someone talks about his body, he has taken medicine for too many years, so that he is extremely sensitive to this problem, and no man can endure such an insult, and his face gradually has a little anger, "My body doesn't worry about the ancient world, you can manage it too widely." ”
He shook off Gu Jing's hand that was holding his arm, and his expression was cold, making Gu Jing swallow his saliva unconsciously.
"Lord Lin, I have no intention of making an enmity with you, but my Gu Jing is such a sister, and the whole family is very delicate to her, you are now a high school champion, it doesn't matter which girl you marry, just my sister......"
"Gu Shizi, I also tell you, I have a good impression of Gu Girl, just for what you said today, I really don't want to marry."
Lin Dong confronted Gu Jing with half a momentum, he would not say this on weekdays, but at this moment he was on the verge of anger, and he also had the intention of competing with Gu Jing.
"You dare?" Gu Jing impulsively grabbed Lin Dong's collar, picked up his fist and hit Lin Dong in the face.
Lin Dong didn't expect him to be rude, so he subconsciously gave Gu Jing a kick, Gu Jing was in pain, and threw Lin Dong out.
Lin Dong hit the door panel and let out a loud "bang".
"Master?" Shi Mo hurriedly rushed over to help his master, but he didn't expect this Gu Shizi to move rough without saying a word, "Are you okay?" ”
Gu Jing's strength was not heavy, and Lin Dong still spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the blood, Shi Mo's expression was even more anxious, he was more worried about Lin Dong's body than anyone else, if there was a good one, he would not be able to explain to the housewife and the two aunts. "Master, the minion hurry up and help you go back......"
"Want to go?" Gu Jing's eyes were red with anger for a while, and he stepped forward and wanted to mention Lin Dong's collar again, "Lord Lin, if you don't change your words, I won't let you go back today......"
Lin Dong pushed away Shi Mo, even if he was a scholar, it was impossible for him to admit defeat on this occasion, he also reached out and grabbed Gu Jing's collar, and sneered, "Gu Shizi, don't deceive people too much......
Just when the two were about to clash again, someone suddenly shouted, "Stop." ”
When Gu Jing heard this voice, his heart screamed badly, Daddy is here today, he quickly let go of the hand that was holding Lin Dong's collar, and called out to the person who came over with a straight face, "Dad." ”
Lin Dong naturally didn't grab Gu Jing's collar anymore, but dusted off his clothes first, and after straightening his collar, he saluted to Xuanping Hou, "Xia Guan has seen Hou Ye." ”
"Lin Shi's nephew is not injured, right?" Xuan Pinghou glared at his son, and looked at Lin Dong with a little more kindness.
"Thank you for your concern, it's no big deal." Lin Dong said.
"It's all to blame for the dog's recklessness, I'll let him apologize to you." Xuan Pinghou glared back at his son again, "Don't apologize yet." ”
Gu Jing was hindered by his father's majesty, and looked at the crowd of onlookers around him, so naturally he would not shout loudly about his sister's marriage, so he could only apologize to Lin Dong in a tough voice.
Lin Dong knew that the other party was not convinced, but it was not easy for him to be stalked at this time, so he nodded and accepted. "If there is nothing to do, the lower official will leave first."
"Lin Shi's nephew don't take this matter to heart, I will teach the dog a good lesson when I go back." Xuan Pinghou's face was calm and authentic, and he looked extremely fair and strict.
Lin Dong glanced at Gu Jing, whose face turned green, and his heart suddenly felt very relieved, and his impression of Xuanping Hou suddenly became a little higher, it seems that the people of the Gu family are not completely unreasonable.
After Lin Dong left, Xuan Ping waited for someone to go back to apologize to the guests in his original box, and pulled his son by the collar and pulled him into the box.
"Rough in public, do you still have brains?"
"Dad, that Lin Dong wants to hit the little sister's idea, I'm warning him......"
"Shut up!" Xuanpinghou scolded loudly, "Your mother and I are not dead yet, it is not your turn to call the shots for your sister, and you will have this right when I die." ”
"Dad, why do you curse yourself?" Gu Jing said helplessly, "Lin Dong's body is thin, can't you see it?" I tested him just now, he hasn't opened meat yet, do you think there's something wrong with him......"
"I think you're wrong." Xuanping Hou interrupted his son's words in a cold voice, "Anyway, I tell you, you are not allowed to interfere in your sister's marriage again, and neither I nor your mother will harm her." ”
"Daddy......"
"You shut up for me, if I see you looking for trouble again, I'll ask the family law to wait when I go back."
Xuanpinghou didn't give his son a chance to argue at all, Lin Dong was his optimistic son-in-law, but he couldn't let his son stir up the yellow.
Gu Jing saw his father defending Lin Dong so much, and he felt bad in his heart, his sister was beautiful and well-born, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to get married, what happened to his father? It's like you've fallen into an evil spirit.
Xuan Pinghou naturally saw the confusion in his son's eyes, his expression eased, and he reached out and patted his son's shoulder, "Son, my father's mother naturally has the reason for this arrangement, you and Sister Fei are my sons and daughters, I have always loved you the most as a father, and this time I will listen to my father." ”
Gu Jing nodded helplessly, but the doubts in his heart were even worse, Lin Dong's background was not strong enough to make people feel sideways, at best it was nepotism, but looking at his father's appearance, it was impossible to tell him the reason.
On this side, Xuanping Hou taught his son, and on the other side, Lin Dong returned home with an injury, which immediately alarmed many people.
Lin Lushi personally gave him medicine in distress, Lin Long and Lin Qi, who got the news, hurried back to their parents' house, and Quan Meihuan cried when she entered the door.
"Which one killed a thousand knives to beat you like this?" Kwon Mi-huan held her son's face and cried.
Lin Dong turned his head unnaturally to prevent her from holding her face, "I'm fine, don't cry, this is all skin trauma, it will be fine after two days, I have asked Shimo to ask for leave in Hanlin Academy......"
"It doesn't matter, the point is who is the person who beat you? He can't beat you for nothing. Lin Long stood in front of her brother with a serious face, those who were familiar with her knew that she was on the verge of anger, her younger brother was beaten up, she couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.
"Yes, if he dares to hit you, you will have to bear the consequences." Lin Qi clenched his fists and said, "Brother Dong, you hurry up and say it, I'll let your brother-in-law's personal soldiers beat him on the head." ”
"Eldest sister, second sister, there's really no need to make a big deal about this." Lin Dong heard the words of these two sisters becoming more violent than the other, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, "It's the result of the conflict between me and others, it's really no big deal." ”
"He beats you, and you can still let him go freely?" Quan Meihuan doesn't know who his son's temperament is, and this family is bullying the door and still endures it?
Lin Long frowned and said, "Brother Dong, what kind of person made you defend him like this?" ”
Lin Dong naturally thought about it, if he wanted to marry the Gu family, he couldn't make a feud with the Gu family first, Xuanping Hou had already come forward to deal with his son, he naturally didn't want to expand the incident, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Eldest sister, second sister, I know that you feel sorry for me, I can't see me being bullied, if I am really bullied today, it is also my own revenge, not a fake hand for you to take revenge." He smiled heartily, "I'm no longer the kid who hides behind you and only knows how to let you protect, I've grown up, if I still let you solve everything, then I won't be able to achieve anything in my life, you should believe that I have my own judgment ability, and I have the ability to support the Lin family." If there's something I can't solve, I'll definitely ask for your help, please trust me. ”
This was said very sincerely, and for a while, Lin Long and Lin Qi were speechless to refute.
The two sisters glanced at each other, and they both saw the emotion in each other's eyes, yes, their only brother has really grown up, and he is no longer the half-grown weak boy who lies on the bed and asks them to run around for medicine.
Lin Long looked at this brother who was already a young face, and really grew up, time passed unconsciously, she reached out and rubbed Lin Dong's hair, "Okay, sister believes in you, but you also have to remember to my sister that you have been my dearest brother all my life." ”
"Me too." Lin Qi made the same choice as Lin Long.
Seeing the love between the sisters and brothers, Lin Lu and Quan Meihuan were also so moved that they took out their handkerchiefs to wipe their tears.
For a long time, his hair was rubbed, Lin Dong didn't care at all, and suddenly, he looked up at Lin Long and said, "Sister, I want to get married, please ask my sister to propose marriage to the girl of the Gu family on my behalf......
Lin Long's hand suddenly froze in place.
