Not far ahead, under the dim yellow light, a sedan chair slowly came.

Lin Molou, the third elder of the Lin family, also stepped forward, walked to his eldest brother's side, and said, "This time, sister-in-law should rest assured." ”

The 'sister-in-law' in Lin Molou's mouth is Boss Lin's wife Long Qiutong, that is, Lin Jingzhi's mother.

is the so-called mother of a thousand miles of children, and Long Qiutong is such a son as Lin Jingzhi, because no matter where Lin Jingzhi goes or how long she goes, she is always worried, and she always sleeps unsteadily at night.

Long Qiutong couldn't sleep, but in the middle of the night, Boss Lin, who doted on his wife, would accompany her to go shopping. Sometimes it's not lively enough, and I have to pull Lin Laosan and Ren Mingyue up to accompany them. Therefore, when the Lin mirror is out of tolerance, the garden of this Lin Mansion is particularly lively, especially at night.

To tell the truth, Lin Molou is really miserable sometimes.

Today, when Lin Jingzhi returns, presumably the sister-in-law will be able to sleep peacefully. The sister-in-law sleeps peacefully, and the eldest brother will not come to trouble them.

When Fang got off the sedan chair, he saw his father and third uncle go out to greet him in person, Lin Jingzhi was startled and hurriedly bowed down, "My son greets my father." Third Uncle, please. ”

Lin Nianzhi, who was the eldest brother, hurriedly bowed down, "My nephew asks for peace for the eldest uncle, please say goodbye to the third uncle." ”

"Get up." Lin Laosan and Lin Laosan helped up Lin Jingzhi and Lin Nianzhi's brothers one by one.

Boss Lin slapped his fist on his son's shoulder and said, "I'm thinner, I'm darker, this time, your mother is distressed again." ”

Touching his head embarrassedly, Lin Jingzhi smiled helplessly. If he is a beautiful ceremonial waiter outside. At home, even now, his mother still treats him like a child, alas, there are words of suffering.

Lin Molou tugged Lin Nianzhi's cheek and said, "Oh, oh, Nianzhi, you haven't lost weight at all, but you've grown flesh again." ”

"I can't help it. When my eldest brother went to the banquet in the North Pole, he stuffed everything that he didn't eat for me. Those who don't know think that we have a deep brotherly relationship, and those who know will understand how tricky the big brother's mouth is. ”

In a word, Lin Laosan, Lin Laosan, and Lin Jingzhi all laughed. Boss Lin hugged Lin Nianyi even more fondly, and said, "Let's go, there are distinguished guests today." Your face is no longer the meatiest in my Lin family. ”

Yes?

Lin Nianzhi didn't understand. But he had already been dragged to the house by his eldest uncle and third uncle.

When Fang Fang approached the flower hall, he saw a large circle of people around the dining table. Lin Jingzhi hurriedly knelt down, bowed down again, and said, "Jingzhi greets grandpa, grandma, mother, and third aunt." ”

Lin Nianzhi did the same, and hurriedly bowed down, and said: "Nianzhi greets grandpa, grandma, eldest uncle, and third aunt." ”

Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, Long Qiutong, and Ren Mingyue hurriedly walked up, and said one by one, "Ah, get up, get up." ”

Lin Jin and Lin Xuan had already jumped up, shouting 'big brother, second brother'. Lin Xuan is more like a jumping fish, jumping up and saying 'big brother hug, big brother hug'.

'Xuan'er', Lin Jingzhi had already picked up Lin Xuan, kissed her forehead, and then held Lin Xuan around a few times. It made Lin Xuan giggle and laugh non-stop, and finally said 'dizzy, dizzy', Lin Jingzhi hugged her and stood still, and asked, "Do you miss your big brother this time?" ”

"Yes." In reply, Lin Xuan kissed Lin Jingzhi the cheek.

"Xuan'er, and me." It was Lin Nianzhi who spoke.

Lin Xuan slipped out of Lin Jingzhi's arms in a blink of an eye, and then hugged Lin Nianzhi's waist vigorously, signaled Lin Nianzhi to bow his head, and then kissed Lin Nianzhi's cheek with a 'snap'.

Smiling very heartily, Lin Nianzhi also kissed Lin Xuan's pink forehead, and then showed the puppet that had been hidden from behind him and handed it to Lin Xuan, "Here, give it to you." I bought it in the North Pole, but we don't have this kind of puppet to sell. ”

"Thank you, second brother."

Although Lin Nianzhi is Lin Xuan's brother, because the Lin Mansion lives in one place, they naturally call Lin Jingzhi the eldest brother and Lin Nianzhi the second brother.

During the intimacy between Lin Xuan and her brother, Lin Jingzhi also touched Lin Jin's head, took out a dagger from his arms and gave it to Lin Jin, and said, "This is what your cousin asked me to bring to you." You say that you have the blood of their Arctic horse people in your veins, and you must be a fond of drinking and eating meat. He also said that this dagger is suitable for you to cut meat and eat it when you are hunting and barbecue in Ming'er. ”

The 'cousin' in Lin Jingzhi's mouth refers to Ren Mingyue's cousin, who occupies the position of prince in the Arctic country and is the generalissimo of the Arctic country.

"Ah, I like it, I like my cousin the most." Lin Jin took it happily, pulled the dagger out of the scabbard and handed it to her mother, showing off: "Mother, you see, my cousin really understands me best." Know I love this. ”

"Your cousin, he's used to you."

Lin Jin snorted, sat at the table, played with the dagger carefully, and said, "It's a pity that Tianzhu made a table of chrysanthemums today." If you want to roast whole sheep or roast suckling pig, this dagger will come in handy. ”

Ever since he heard his father say, 'There are distinguished guests today', Lin Jingzhi has paid close attention to the people in this flower hall, and strangely he hasn't seen any faces. Even the maids and servants who served on the side did not have any fresh faces. He was wondering, and he heard Lin Jin say something like 'dzi and chrysanthemum feast'.

So, Lin Jingzhi asked, "Dzi?" ”

Old Madam Lin hurriedly pulled Lin Jingzhi and Lin Nianzhi's brothers to her side, and said, "Tianzhu is Wu Nianting, the granddaughter of your Grandpa Wu's family. ”

Wu Nianting is the granddaughter of the old man Wu, and because of the love of the free prince, she is fortunate to always accompany the free prince, and has accompanied the free prince to travel to the three countries for a long time, although she rarely appears in front of the people. But her name is known to everyone in Dongao.

Listening to Mrs. Lin's intermittent narration, Lin Jingzhi and Lin Nianzhi understood that this Wu Nianting was still Lin Xuan's life-saving little benevolent father. And now he is Shangguan Lan's little apprentice.

The reason why Wu Nianting is not in the flower hall now is because she happened to go to the toilet. In fact, she went back when Lin Jingzhi and Lin Nianzhi entered the flower hall, looking at Lin Jingzhi, Lin Nianzhi, Lin Jin, and Lin Xuan's brothers and sisters so warm and intimate, she was extremely envious for some reason. So, I have been standing outside the flower hall, quietly watching the excitement in the flower hall.

The attention of all the people in the flower hall was on Lin Jingzhi and Lin Nianzhi, of course, they didn't notice Wu Nianting, but when Mrs. Lin pointed to the chrysanthemum banquet full of tables and said, "Look, this is made by Tianzhu herself, saying that it is for the two of you to catch the wind and wash the dust" After the words, she looked back and found the lonely figure of Wu Nianting standing quietly outside the flower hall. ”

"Dzi!" Lin Jingzhi hurriedly turned around and saw Wu Nian Pavilion.

Big eyes are full of stars, eyebrows are smart, high nose and small mouth, and a smile like a flower, just like a fat porcelain doll coming out of the New Year's painting, is looking at himself with a smile.

Lin Nianzhi turned his head and was also stunned: It turns out that there are really people in this world whose faces are more fleshy than his.

Staring at Wu Nianting, Lin Jingzhi walked in front of Wu Nianting, looked at the fat little girl in front of him, and looked at her fearless big eyes, Lin Jingzhi only felt that there was a sense of familiarity born from his heart, but this familiarity did not come from nowhere.

Squatting down, stretching out his hand to hold her, Lin Jingzhi said: "Dzi?!" ”

He had long known the people of the Lin family well, coupled with the intimacy between their brothers and sisters, Wu Nianting knew that the tall young man in front of him must be Lin Jingzhi. So he grinned and said, "Hmm." My grandfather is the Shangshu Wubi of the Criminal Department of the Dynasty, and my father is the youngest Taiwei Wu Changting in the history of Dongao, and my mother ...... Well, I heard a big man in the rivers and lakes say that my mother is the most troublesome woman in the world, so my father reported to Hades first and opened her joints for the headache. ”

Listening to Wu Nianting's classic opening remarks, Master Lin and Mrs. Lin turned their faces away and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes.

Lin Jing's heart was a 'gluck', his eyes were a little hot, and he said, "Well, the father of the dzi is the person I respect the most. ”

In Wu Nianting's small cognition, everyone who respects her father is a big hero and a big husband, plus her natural immunity to the people of Lin Mansion, her good impression of Lin Jingzhi has skyrocketed after hearing this, so she asked: "Then can I also call you a big brother?" "Just now, Lin Xuan's love still deeply made Wu Nianting feel a little sad, and the martial arts family was the only one, and she was a little lonely in the end.

"Of course."

While Lin Jingzhi was talking, Lin Xuan ran forward with the little puppet she got from Lin Nianzhi, as if she felt a little sad about Wu Nianting, she handed the puppet to Wu Nianting, and said, "Sister Tianzhu, you taught me how to make puppets for a day today, and this will be given to you." ”

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with Lin Xuan giving away his gift, but then, Lin Nianzhi thought that the chrysanthemum banquet on that table was made by Wu Nianting, and he thought that he would ask to teach her later, so he didn't think that Lin Xuan was very boring to give away the puppet he gave away.

Wu Nianting took the puppet and glanced at Lin Nianzhi's direction. She knew that this puppet was given to Lin Xuan by Lin Nianzhi. Seeing that Lin Nianzhi bit his lip in advance and knew that he was reluctant, Wu Nianting smiled and sent the puppet back to Lin Xuan's hand and said, "Thank you." However, I don't love them as much as you do, so I won't protect them as well as you do. So, it's better for you to protect it. If I do keep it with me, I promise that in a few days it will be dirty, and I don't know how dirty it will be, and I don't know if it will be gone. ”

This puppet style is very special, and it was brought back from the Arctic countries. was a little reluctant, but after hearing Wu Nianting say this, Lin Xuan took back the puppet, turned her head to look at her eldest brother Lin Jingzhi, and asked, "Big brother, did you bring any other gifts?" ”

Scratched Lin Xuan's nose, Lin Jingzhi said: "Bring it, bring a lot." For the time being, they were all piled up on the wagon. Tomorrow you can go through it yourself and leave what you like. However, that box of books can't be moved, because it's reserved for your big sister. ”

Lin Jun likes to read and never leaves his books. No matter where Lin Jingzhi goes, he will choose some novel books that can benefit her a lot and bring them back to her.

"I don't ask for gifts from my big brother, and I won't touch my big sister's things. I was just thinking about what kind of gift I wanted to give to Sister Dzi. ”

Scratched Lin Xuan's nose again, Lin Jingzhi said: "The gift to your sister Tianzhu has your own big brother, what do you care?" While speaking, Lin Jingzhi picked up Wu Nianting, walked to the table and sat down, ordered Wu Nianting to sit on his lap, and said, "I didn't know if I would meet you today, what do you want?" Well...... So be it, that's it. While speaking, Lin Jingzhi took out something from his arms and handed it to Wu Nianting.

She had walked so much land, and it was the first time she saw such a novelty, Wu Nianting took it curiously, and asked while playing, "What is this?" ”

During the questioning, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Lin Xuan's small mouth seemed to be deflated unconsciously. Wu Nianting's mind was so agile, he immediately understood that this was an excellent thing, and Lin Xuan must have asked for it from Lin Jingzhi many times and didn't ask for it. In a moment's thought, she clenched the thing.

From the moment she nervously clenched the gift, Lin Jingzhi knew that this thing was the right gift. The corners of his mouth were dyed with a smile, and he said, "This thing is called Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, which was given to me by my aunt for self-defense back then." ”

Rainstorm pear blossom needle? It's good, and it's very powerful when you hear it.

Aunt? Lin Jingzhi's aunt is Empress Xiaoci.

Thinking that the thing he was holding in his hand once belonged to Empress Xiaoci, Wu Nianting was even more excited. After saying 'really', she jumped off Lin Jingzhi's leg excitedly, and then began to look left and right and fiddle with the rainstorm pear flower needle.

Immediately after, Lin Jingzhi appeared in front of Wu Nianting like a wind after saying 'be careful', and then quickly turned the jet of that thing in a different direction.

With a 'bang', several silver needles flew out of the jet and shot at several porcelains in the distance, and the porcelain shattered with a sound of candlelight, which made Wu Nianting squint.

Oops, it's troublesome. Wu Nianting closed his lips and couldn't speak.

After the people of the Lin family were shocked, Old Madam Lin took the lead in coming back to her senses, and when she saw Wu Nianting's white face, she thought she was frightened, so she hurriedly hugged her and coaxed: "Little girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." It's just a few porcelain vases. Quick, show grandma if there are any injuries. ”

Wu Nianting didn't expect Fang Cai's scene to be so thrilling, she hurriedly turned around after replying, 'Grandma, it's okay, I'm fine', hugged Lin Jingzhi's waist, and asked, "Big brother, are you injured?" As he spoke, he wanted to rummage through his clothes to find wounds.

Lin Jingzhi smiled and pushed away the fat hand that was too enthusiastic, and pointed to the rainstorm pear flower needle with a diversion: "This thing was invented by my aunt." ”

Hearing this, Wu Nianting was really excited, "Really? ”

Nodding affirmatively, Lin Jingzhi said: "This rainstorm pear flower needle is the only one in the world." Seeing that she couldn't put it down and flipped the rainstorm pear flower needle, Lin Jingzhi carefully explained the use of the rainstorm pear flower needle for Wu Nianting.

It turns out that the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is similar to a crossbow but much smaller than a crossbow, and can be easily hidden on the chest or in a boot without being noticed, and as long as it touches its mechanism, it can fire several silver needles at a time.

It's really an excellent self-defense weapon.

Wu Nianting kissed it fondly.

Seeing that Wu Nianting liked it, Lin Jing's heart was also unusually happy, and asked, "Now you know how powerful this thing is." Be careful when using it in the future. Don't hurt yourself. ”

Wu Nianting nodded.

Seeing that Lin Xuan's tears were not dripping from the small vinegar jar, Wu Nianting ignored it directly, and quickly stuffed the rainstorm pear flower needle into the fledging deerskin boots. Now, among her two boots, one hides the Ice Moon Dagger, and the other hides the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, hehe, I'm afraid that the martial arts master will be afraid in front of her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be happy, looked at Lin Jingzhi happily, motioned for him to bow his head, and then kissed his cheek, and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Lin Jing's heart was hot, and he also kissed Wu Nianting's fleshy cheek, and said: "In the future, no matter who bullies you, talk to the big brother, and the big brother will beat him all over the ground to find his teeth." ”

If it was the master or the prince's brother who bullied her, I don't know what it would be like for them to be beaten all over the ground by the eldest brother.

Thinking of the appearance of the master and the prince's brother looking for teeth all over the ground, Wu Nianting smiled and reached out to cover his mouth.

This laugh, this laugh......

Lin Jing's heart was stunned. He clearly remembered that his third uncle was good at danqing, but he rarely painted, and the only painting was only people, and only one person. Once, he saw a little girl with her mouth covered and smiling in a painting by his third uncle, and he was very interested, so he asked him 'who is she', and his third uncle said, 'She is your aunt'.

In Lin Jingzhi's reflection, there is only an image of his aunt when she was an adult, and I don't know what his aunt looked like when she was a child. He clearly remembered that he held the portrait and exclaimed, "I don't want my aunt to grow fat when she was a child, and smile so cutely, like a New Year's doll."

At that time, his third uncle also sighed and said, 'Jun'er and Jin'er don't look like their aunts, and their looks are getting worse and worse, and I deeply regret it'......

What the third uncle said back then, Lin Jingzhi doesn't remember it all. But the image given to him by his aunt who painted dolls in the New Year was extremely deep, so deep that when he saw Wu Nianting, the idea of painting dolls also popped up in his mind.

Now this smile, this smile like a New Year's doll...... He seemed to finally understand why he had a familiar feeling when he first saw Wu Nian Pavilion.

Suddenly, Lin Jingzhi's mind flashed. Suddenly, I felt that Wu Nianting's identity might not be as simple as the little Engong of the Lin Mansion. Thinking of this, he felt soft in his heart, hugged Wu Nianting, rubbed her head, and asked some words, 'What interesting things have you experienced in the Three Kingdoms, how are you studying now, do you feel difficult'.

Wu Nianting replied one by one, as if he had endless words.

Seeing the harmony of the juniors, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin were happy. After Lin Zheng said, 'Master, madam, the chrysanthemum banquet is going to be cold', Lin Jingzhi hugged Wu Nianting into the table, asked her to sit beside him, and asked these chrysanthemums one by one how to make and eat.

Lin Nianzhi is a foodie, if his relationship with Wu Nianting was not as lively as his eldest brother at first, then he could talk about it the most when he went to the dinner table.

Without consulting Wu Nianting, he actually guessed that in the delicate soup bowl, the only very large red chrysanthemum hugged by dozens of small white chrysanthemums, the dish that was very pleasing to the eye was called 'Red Vegetarian Wrapping.' ’

At the same time, after tasting a bite of chrysanthemum cake, he said: "This is the southern tribute chrysanthemum chrysanthemum petals washed, then wrapped in corn flour, pearl powder, egg green, with sweet marinated for a column of incense time, and finally fried in oil until slightly yellow, neither the color of the chrysanthemum nor the taste of the chrysanthemum, good." ”

For a while, Wu Nianting and Lin Nianzhi, the two foodies, had the intention of meeting late. was a chrysanthemum banquet for the family reunion, and only the two of them were left foaming at the mouth.
