Lin Long's steps paused a few meters away from home, and he called out a little hesitantly, "Ye Gongzi? ”

Ye Xuyao heard her voice, quickly turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were still a little bright in the night that scanned her whole body, and after making sure that she was okay, his heart sank back into his chest.

Hearing the words of the maid sent by Lin Li, the eldest daughter of the second room of the Lin family, he rushed over so carelessly, and even forgot his mother's words. I didn't expect the third room of the Lin family to want to marry her off like this so despicably, and when I thought that she got on someone else's sedan chair and entered someone else's cave room, I was so depressed that I couldn't get worse.

He rushed to her shop, but no one was seen, and when he came here, her family seemed to be wary of him, and no one was willing to tell him with certainty, where did she go?

For more than an hour, he was anxious or anxious.

"Where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? ”

As soon as he exited, there was a questioning voice, and the bandit who had been standing with his grandfather for a long time was almost about to fall to the ground, and his grandfather hurried over to question Miss Lin? If he was Miss Lin, he couldn't be happy to hear such words.

"Master?" He whispered, wanting to remind his grandfather to pay attention to the attitude problem.

Helplessly, Ye Xuyao glanced at the bandit Jian coldly, and the little guy immediately closed his mouth and stood away.

Lin Long was slightly surprised, did this Ye Xuyao take the wrong medicine? Who was he to ask her at the door of her house if she had come back early or late? Her face was pulled, she was slightly displeased, and she was about to reprimand Ye Xuyao when she heard a sound at the old wooden door of her house.

Without saying a word, she walked over, and opened the old wooden door without saying a word, and Aunt Green, Lin Qi, and Lin Nan's family, who were eavesdropping inside, didn't have time to retreat, and fell in front of her, and the three of them raised their heads to look at her in embarrassment.

"You're eavesdropping here?" Lin Long asked expressionlessly.

Lin Qi reacted the fastest, "This, sister, I'm worried about you, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”

"That's right, Sister Long, we just saw that Ye Gongzi had waited so long and wanted to invite him in for tea." Aunt Green also quickly made an excuse.

"Hehe...... Lin Nan's family laughed a few times, and couldn't find a good reason.

Lin Long didn't smile, his eyes were full of sternness.

Lin Qi was shocked, "This, my flower seeds haven't been ground yet, I'll go back." After saying that, he left the two allies without righteousness and hurried away.

Aunt Green and Lin Nan's family also quickly found a reason to leave, and they were extremely fast.

Lin Nan glared at his wife, listening to the girl's corner, this is unacceptable, and smiled awkwardly at Lin Long, "She ......"

"Uncle Nan, you should go back first." Lin Long interrupted him.

Lin Nan glanced at Ye Xuyao and the bandits, "Girl, this is not good, a lonely man and a widow, no, Uncle Nan can't leave...... "I can't leave anything, for the sake of his girl's reputation."

Lin Long didn't have the heart to talk to him, turned around and walked towards Ye Xuyao, who knew that after only two steps, the man who had always seemed to be a cold moon walked over quickly, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her towards the willow tree by the river embankment.

Lin Long couldn't resist, so he could only be dragged away by him.

Bandit Jian dropped his jaw again, he had never seen the master pull a girl's family so strongly, and the corner of his eye saw that Lin Nan wanted to stop him, and he, who had always been the most observant, immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Shopkeeper Lin, let my master talk to Miss Lin alone for a while." ”

"It's not ...... right"

"There's nothing wrong with ......"

The two subordinates immediately faced each other, and Lin Nan frowned even more, if he made a move, he could not be the opponent of the young and strong bandits.

Lin Qi, Aunt Green, and Lin Nan's family hid behind the mottled red pillar, stretched their necks and saw Lin Long being pulled away by Ye Xuyao, and several people gossiped again.

"Erniang, have you seen it? What about Ye Gongzi holding my sister's hand? Lin Qi was a little excited, and actually opened her mouth to call Erniang, she preferred Ye Xuyao to be her brother-in-law than Dr. Cao.

"Sister Qi, it's an arm, you can't talk nonsense, if you are heard, Sister Long'er's reputation will be damaged, no, I want to go and see ......" Aunt Green wanted to go out to maintain Lin Long's reputation.

"Come back, you stupid?" Lin Qi grabbed Aunt Green and dragged her back, "It's just a few words, what kind of reputation can you ruin?" Besides, seeing the grandson of the Ye family here, Erniang, aren't you happy to see it? This candle can't be. ”

Lin Nan's family also persuaded, "Aunt Green, you can't be stupid at this time, if Ye Gongzi really has a heart, our Sister Long's good days are still ahead......

Lin Long didn't know the pull and pull of the people behind, but looked at Ye Xuyao with angry eyebrows, and as soon as she arrived in the shade of the tree, she threw down his big palm, "Men and women don't kiss, Ye Gongzi, please respect yourself......"

"You haven't answered me yet, where have you been so late?" Ye Xuyao asked persistently again, it seemed that this answer was very important to him, and when he learned that the surname of the person who was married to her in the third room of the Lin family was Cao, he immediately overlapped the other party with the man he met in her shop this morning.

Her smile at the man surnamed Cao was quite an eyesore, so he couldn't help but wonder where she had been during this time.

"Where I go has nothing to do with Ye Gongzi, it's arrogant for you to ask this question." Lin Long frowned, "If there is nothing else, I will go back......"

Ye Xuyao glanced at her slightly tired eyebrows, she was still in high spirits when she saw her this morning, but now she looks like this when she sees her again, "Is it for your marriage with the surname Cao?" ”

He bit the word marriage very tightly, as if squeezing out of his teeth.

"How do you know?" Lin Long looked at him in surprise, this marriage was only decided today, Ye Xuyao received the wind so quickly?

"Don't care how I know, Miss Lin, I just want to ask you one thing, are you going to marry the one surnamed Cao?" Ye Xuyao didn't answer the rhetorical question, it seemed that this answer was very important to him.

Lin Long is not in a hurry to go back at this time, this Ye Xuyao is really abnormal, it is not like he would care about this and ask, "This has nothing to do with Ye Gongzi, what kind of person I want to marry is my freedom ......"

Ye Xuyao looked at her fixedly with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice, "I think Miss Lin seems to have forgotten a very important thing, Ye Lin's two families have a marriage contract......

"That engagement has nothing to do with me." Lin Long was not afraid of his momentum, "I'm too small to get into the eyes of your Ye family, Ye Gongzi, don't say such jokes anymore, it's late at night, you can go back." With that, she turned to leave.

"Hehe......" Ye Xuyao sneered for a while, and then sneered: "It has nothing to do? Miss Lin, this is ridiculous in itself. ”

Lin Long turned his head slightly to look at him, "What's so ridiculous?" You don't want me, I don't want to, and the two of us can't ...... anything."

Ye Xuyao looked at her with a thin anger on her face, no wonder her mother said that she was very proud, and she was the only one who dared to disdain this marriage contract, hiding the displeasure in her heart, "How do you know that it is impossible if you don't try?" ”

Lin Long couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his words with a cold heart, what did he mean by this? Now she's messed around with him?

"Lin Long, I'll marry you."

Ye Xuyao didn't wait for her to figure it out, and suddenly dropped a bomb, which blew up so that she couldn't find the southeast, northwest, and south.

The Ye family's new house in Suzhou, Ye Zhongshi glanced at the hourglass and said to the brocade: "Go and see, has Brother Yao come back?" ”

Brocade respectfully placed the freshly brewed tea in front of Ye Zhong's family, "Back to Mrs., the slave maid just asked, but the master has not come back yet." ”

"This kid is too anxious." Ye Zhongshi frowned, and then seemed to think of something, and smiled coldly disdainfully, "But the third room of the Ye family is too bold, and there is no one in the eyes of our Ye family, and my daughter-in-law here has not been selected yet, so they can't wait to marry the person who is in the way, so they can draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle." He picked up the tea bowl and touched the tea lid lightly, "By the way, did you send someone to send a message to the Lin family?" ”

"Someone has been sent." Brocade said, "According to Mrs. Will, it will teach the Lin family a lesson." ”

"That's good."

Ye Zhongshi pointed to his shoulder, and the brocade willingly stepped forward to rub it for her.

"Madam, this time it seems that the Lin family's big house is more decent, why don't you make your wife's mind public?" In the end, the brocade couldn't hold its breath and tried to speak, and its heart was already churning like the sea.

Ye Zhongshi turned his head slightly and glanced at her meaningfully, "Brocade, you know that I never like talkative people. ”

Brocade was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, saying that he had said the wrong thing with his mouth, and asked his wife to punish him.

"It seems that I indulged you too much, Brocade, no matter what you think in your heart, you have to remember one for me, Brother Yao'er's daughter-in-law will be your grandmother, can you listen?" Ye Zhong's voice was full of majesty.

Brocade lowered her head, "Yes, the slave will remember it this time." ”

After a long time, Ye Zhongshi asked her to get up and continue to pinch her bones, rubbing the edge of the tea bowl with her fingers, she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, she had to sharpen the temperament of this future daughter-in-law, otherwise I was afraid that she wouldn't even pay attention to her in the future, wouldn't that be a good thing?

"Ming'er, please ask Sister Na Lin to come over." She instructed, "If you slap you, you have to give a sweet date." ”

Brocade hurriedly responded, and this time he didn't dare to speculate nonsense.

The cool breeze of the night was very refreshing on his body, but Lin Long shivered for no reason, and looked at the man who was only a foot away from her for an instant, and the wind blew the corner of his robe, which was as unreal as a fantasy no matter how it looked.

Ye Xuyao originally thought that it would be very embarrassing to say this, but he didn't expect it to be so easy after blurting out, and he didn't say anything else to force her, but stood in place and waited for her answer. Tonight's Lin Long is not as bright as when he went to the banquet yesterday, but he has a little more tenderness.

Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other.

How could Lin Nan and Bandit Jian, who had already stopped fighting, not hear that voice?

The bandits wanted to burst into tears, and the master finally said this, it was really not easy.

"Hey, is your grandfather telling the truth?" Lin Nan was always relieved, and couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Bandit Jian glanced at the middle-aged man, approached him and whispered, "I'll tell you......" crackling and pasting gold on his grandfather's face.

The two of them didn't know the whispers of the two subordinates behind them, Lin Long's eyebrows gathered, and he said with a little hope: "Ye Gongzi, are you joking?" ”

"Ye never jokes." Ye Xuyao also frowned, it was necessary for him to make fun of her.

Lin Long felt incredible, "Young Master Ye, when did you fall in love with my ......?"

Ye Xuyao's brows furrowed even tighter, he couldn't do what he could do to show others in his heart, and besides, he could only confirm that he didn't hate Lin Long, on the contrary, he still had a good impression, thinking that he was really married to her, it didn't seem to be so bad, but the words he said was, "The short man is tall." ”

Lin Long's eyebrows suddenly rose up, why was this so unpleasant, and immediately replied to her famous words, "Qi Dafei is not an even ......"

"Lin Long, am I a flood beast? So what scares you? Ye Xuyao had long been disgusted by her words, "My Ye family is a century-old meritorious family, and it is not a place to eat people." He raised his eyebrows and smiled defiantly: "Or are you so unconfident in yourself?" Can't you be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of my Ye family? ”

"Joke, as long as I Lin Long has a heart, there is nothing I can't do." Lin Long immediately retorted, but as soon as the words came out, she wanted to bite her tongue off, what did she say?

Ye Xuyao smiled faintly, "Then this is decided, this marriage ......"

Lin Long blushed and glared at him, "Did you say you wanted to marry me?" This marriage also doesn't count, you are not my good match. ”

So arrogant, who wants to marry him? She is not a masochist, she is indignant and dissatisfied, and it is really unreasonable.

Ye Xuyao's face darkened, the first marriage proposal in his life was trampled under his feet, this Lin Long is so bold, he straddled his long legs, stretched out his long hand, grabbed her wrist again, twisted, forced her to look at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Long, I said that if I want to marry, there will never be room for you to say whether you will marry or not, but I have always been a civilized person, you better give me to understand that marrying me is far better than what cat or dog you marry." ”

Lin Long's arm was twisted by him, and a layer of mist floated in his eyes, how could this person be so savage? Why didn't she find out before? "It hurts, you let me go-"

Ye Xuyao had already seen the red post she was holding in her hand with sharp eyes, and when he heard her cry out in pain, he withdrew the red post she was holding in his hand before letting go.

Lin Long, who was rubbing his wrists, saw him open the post and looked, his blood was surging, his pretty face was flushed, and he was busy trying to snatch it back, "You give it back to me-"

Ye Xuyao's hand was raised, making her pounce.

At a glance, he knew that this was her Geng post, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, it should be that the third room of the Ye family and the Cao family exchanged Geng posts today, and she went to ask for it back, no wonder she came back at this hour, knowing what she was doing during this time, his originally depressed mood turned out to be much better.

Seeing that she was persistent and wanted to take it back, he actually stuffed this Geng post into his sleeve and decided to himself, "This matter is decided." ”

After speaking, he no longer looked at Lin Long, but raised his voice and ordered the stunned bandit Jian to lead the horse over.

How could Lin Long let him get his wish? Ye Xuyao has always given her the feeling that she is very alienated, such a scoundrel's behavior is really not like what he did, so she fell behind at this moment, saw him get on the horse and was about to leave, and hurriedly went over to grab his clothes, "Ye Xuyao, you can't do this, you are forcibly marrying a girl from a good family......"

Ye Xuyao bent down and clamped her chin, looking at her with a pair of starry eyes, "Lin Long, you have always been smart, you should know how to choose?" Don't be stupid, I don't want our future eldest son to follow your example, believe me, it will be a disaster. ”

The two of them haven't even gotten married, how did they come to be the eldest son? Lin Long is a girl's family in the end, how can he not be blushing when he is such a pastime?

Ye Xuyao, who has always been cold, suddenly laughed, loosened the clamp on her chin, and with a wave of the horsewhip, the horse galloped quickly.

Lin Long had to quickly avoid it, and when he saw that he was gone, he was so angry that he scolded behind him, "You muddy ball-"

After taking the horse and saluting her, Bandit Jian whispered before getting on the horse: "Miss Lin, my grandfather is definitely serious, you have to think about it." ”

Lin Long was stunned, is Ye Xuyao's muddy ball real? But thinking that he even snatched her Geng post, it really didn't look like he was intentionally joking with her, and she had to look solemn at this time.

Lin Nan cautiously paced Lin Long, who had an incorrect expression, "Girl, Uncle Nan thinks this matter is ......"

Lin Long didn't wait for him to finish, glared at the neighbors who were peeking on both sides, and then walked past Lin Nan to the door of the house with a heavy face.

Aunt Green relied on being an elder in the end, and said, "Sister Long, what did Ye Gongzi say to you?" ”

"Erniang, I don't want to say anything now, don't ask." Lin Long pressed his temperament.

Aunt Green replied unruly, but her heart was tickling like a cat's scratch, and when she saw Lin Long walking away, she had to follow Lin Qi's example and ask Lin Nan, what did this Ye family grandson say to make Sister Long angry?

Lin Long returned to his bedroom like a whirlwind all the way, Mama Su and Lin Dong both looked at each other, and neither the old nor the young dared to go in and disturb.

Throwing himself on the bed, Lin Long hated Ye Xuyao's annoying face, and slammed his hand into the bed board to vent the anger in his heart.

Lin Qi also blew in like a whirlwind, "Sister, since Ye Gongzi has said that he will marry you, what are you hesitating about?" ”

"You don't understand." Lin Long said angrily, "Go out, don't bother me here." ”

"Why don't I understand?" Lin Qi shouted, "The person who doesn't understand now is you, sister, do you really want to be married to someone else casually by the third aunt?" We don't have a father or a mother, maybe in the future, which family can afford the money, and the second and third aunts will sell both of our sisters? When the time comes, what is the Zheng family, the Bei family, who can help us? You have also seen today's events, what can't a group of people who lack virtue do? ”

Lin Long was stunned, what her sister said was actually what she was most worried about in her heart, there are one and there are two, Lin Bai and Lin Yu have always been the same dog.

Lin Qi saw that her expression was slightly relaxed, so he sat on the side of her bed and continued her crooked reasoning, "Sister, it's not okay to be rich, who will take you in your eyes if you have no power or power?" Now among the three of us siblings, you are the eldest, can you not take care of it more......"

Ye Xuyao rushed home, rushed to his mother's yard without even changing his clothes, and saw that the lights were still on inside, he quickly went in and almost ran into the brocade that greeted him.

When the brocade retreated, his face turned red, "Uncle, what's the matter with finding a wife in such a hurry?" Let the slave go in and give a ......"

Ye Xuyao ignored her, but crossed her and lifted the curtain and went in.

Seeing his mother sitting on the Luohan bed, he walked over with a calm face, didn't even salute, and threw the Geng post over from his cuffs, "Mother, I have made up my mind about this marriage." ”――
