Chapter Seventy-One: Tears and Tears
After breakfast, Lin Xiuyuan said, "Zhao'er, you can go to my father with me today." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I'll leave after I ask Ann, and you can stay with him for a while. Xue Zhao nodded, looking at him with sparkling eyes, Lin Xiuyuan lowered his head and kissed her, took her hand and walked towards the courtyard inside.
Taibo's health was much better, he was feeding the chickens in the yard, and when he saw Lin Xiuyuan walking off the bridge with Xue Zhao's hand, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said, "Young Master Xiuyuan, the master is in the house." ”
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, pulled Xue Zhao and walked to the house. When he arrived at the door of the house, Xue Zhao stopped and wanted to pull his hand out, but Lin Xiuyuan held it very tightly and didn't pull it out. Lin Xiuyuan stopped and turned to look at her, Xue Zhao lowered his head with a red face, and said, "Brother Lin, Uncle Lin will be unhappy when he sees it." ”
Lin Xiuyuan didn't speak, he took her hand again and walked into the house, and Xue Zhao had to follow him. Entering the house, Lin Ziye was teasing the parrot under the window, looked up and saw Lin Xiuyuan coming, with a smile on his face, and then saw his hand holding Xuezhao tightly, his smile converged, and he sighed slightly.
Lin Xiuyuan pulled Xue Zhao to his side, and Xue Zhao saluted him Lin Ziye, Lin Xiuyuan said, "My son is late today, please forgive my father." ”
Lin Xiuyuan has always been punctual, no matter how windy or rainy, it is never too late to greet him. Lin Ziye looked at Lin Xiuyuan, who was calm, and then looked at the reddish Xue Zhao next to him, as if he understood something. His face sank slightly, and he raised his hand to signal them to get up.
At this time, the parrot on the shelf suddenly shouted, "Brother Lin! Snow shines! Brother Lin! Snow shines! Xue Zhao looked at the parrot brother, couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lin, how can this parrot brother only say these two words?" ”
When Lin Ziye heard her talk about this parrot, his face suddenly showed a happy look, and he actually forgot the displeasure just now. He pulled Xue Zhao and smiled, "Miss Xue Zhao, don't you know, this parrot is very smart, and he can also recite poems." Wait a minute, I'll let him recite it to you. Saying that, he turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan and said, "Xiuyuan, you have a lot of things in front of you, go get busy first, and let Xue Zhao accompany me for a while." ”
Lin Xiuyuan nodded and said goodbye.
Lin Ziye went to get some food again, and came back to tease the parrot to talk, only to hear the parrot brother shout, "Lao Tai, go feed the chickens!" Xue Zhao laughed when he heard this, Lin Ziye fed it some millet again, and the parrot brother said, "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan." The voice was completely similar to Lin Ziye's moaning tone, and Xue Zhao laughed out loud when he heard it.
Lin Ziye was also happy to bloom, they were there to tease the parrot, talk about poetry and words, and pick up some famous poems to teach it to read, and they didn't realize that most of the morning had passed.
Lin Ziye was so forgetful that he walked in the door, looked at them and said, "Master, don't you have something to say to Miss Xuezhao?" ”
Lin Ziye stopped suddenly, he slowly retracted his hand from the parrot shelf, and walked to the chair with some stumbling steps. Seeing this, Lao Tai sighed, turned around and went out.
Lin Ziye sat down on the chair, his hand on his chest, his face sad, and he was like the two of them who were teasing Brother Parrot just now. Xue Zhao thought he was unwell, so she quickly poured him a cup of tea and helped him stroke his back. Lin Ziye held his forehead with one hand, propped it on the table next to him, and supported another chair nearby with one hand and said, "Miss Xuezhao, sit down, the old man has something to say to you." ”
Xue Zhao saw that his expression was solemn, and some ominous premonitions came to his heart. She stood aside with her hands down and said, "Uncle Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Lin Ziye sighed softly and said, "You are a good girl, I have wronged you for a while." ”
Xue Zhao shook his head and said, "Tonghetang is kind to Xue Zhao, and Xue Zhao has no grievances. ”
Lin Ziye said, "I have heard a little about your life experience, and I also see Xiuyuan's feelings for you." Regardless of talent, character, cultivation and temperament, you are the most outstanding girl I have ever met. If Xiuyuan can marry you, it will also be his blessing. ”
Xue Zhao smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "Thank you Uncle Lin for complimenting, Uncle Lin must have his own difficulties, but it doesn't hurt to say, Xue Zhao must follow your teachings." ”
When Lin Ziye heard this, his face showed an unbearable look, he reached out and grabbed Xue Zhao's arm, and said, "Good boy, I have been in seclusion for seven or eight years, why do you still listen to me?" ”
Xue Zhao said, "Xue Zhao has heard his father talk about Uncle Lin since he was a child, and his father said that Uncle Lin's ancestral medical skills are exquisite, but he is not afraid of the powerful, awe-inspiring and arrogant, and respectable. ”
Lin Ziye bowed his head and sighed, "I don't have a deep relationship with your father, but he praises me so much, which makes me really surprised." You have heard some of the old man's past, and you will understand my troubles. You and Xiuyuan's identities are extremely special, and if you get married, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to Tonghetang and you in the future. Tonghetang is not only the ancestral business of the Lin family, but its survival is also related to the safety of the people. There are still some hidden secrets in this, and the stakes are very important, and it is inconvenient for the old man to say it to you, for fear of bringing disaster to you. I wonder if you can understand the old man's painstaking efforts? ”
After hearing this, Xue Zhao was a little stunned, she felt a pain in her heart like a knife, her body was a little unable to stand, she staggered and bowed, and said in a low voice, "How can one's own selfish desires be compared with the safety of the people and the righteousness of the family and country?" Xue Zhao understood. ”
Lin Ziye looked at Xue Zhao and nodded, "Sure enough, she is a girl who understands righteousness, and Xiuyuan didn't see the wrong person." To tell you the truth, I have already selected a family affair for Xiuyuan, and he is the daughter of the Yin clan in the south of the city, and I hope that he can settle down after he gets married and carry forward Tonghetang. Miss Xuezhao, if you don't dislike it, the old man is willing to accept you as a righteous daughter, and you will be the old man's daughter from now on, how about it? ”
Xue Zhao's eyes were already empty and blank, and she said softly, "I don't give up on you, I am willing to accept Xue Zhao as a woman, and Xue Zhao is grateful." It's just that if you want to break it, you have to be thorough, Xue Zhao is willing to break off her relationship from now on, and never let Brother Lin have this idea again. Uncle Lin, don't worry. ”
Saying that, Xue Zhao bowed and bowed, and when he got up, tears were already raining down. She said goodbye to Lin Ziye, "Uncle Lin, the snow is gone, take care of yourself." Then he turned and went out.
Looking at her slightly swaying figure, Lin Ziye stood up with a chair, his eyes were full of pain, and he said hoarsely to Lao Tai, who had just entered the door, "Lao Tai, such a rare girl, was driven away by me, am I too ruthless?" He felt a pain in his chest, a dizziness, and sat down in his chair.
Lao Tai stepped forward to help him, kept stroking his chest with his hands, and shouted in a crying voice, "Old lady, you are doing this for Tonghetang!" Young Master Xiuyuan and Miss Xuezhao will understand, old lady! ”
