Chapter 3: Tearing the Night and Breaking the Heart
The wind is cold, and the cold is dashing.
In the blink of an eye, the sky began to drizzle again. Knocking on the eaves made a crisp tinkling sound. The temperature is getting lower and lower, and Linlang is curled up on the bed, and the thick quilt still can't resist the chill in her heart.
The eldest lady was gone, but her words echoed in her ears. It's like a sharp ice blade, piercing the entanglement of feelings.
After a while, Yan Xiang walked into the house with a thriving charcoal stove and thoughtfully prepared a fire for Linlang. As the temperature in the house rose, Linlang gradually relaxed, but the cold heart did not warm up for a long time.
Yan Yefeng! What exactly do you want to do? It's time to add to the chaos!
Linlang's big watery eyes hid under the brocade quilt, and her messy thoughts were like cotton wool stained with mud in her mind, and no matter how you blow it, you can't blow it clean.
Can't figure it out, cut it constantly!
The eldest lady naturally wants me to leave the Jin family as soon as possible, and the farther the better. Listening to the meaning of her words, he actually has this intention! The burly figure of Jin Chi appeared in Linlang's heart, she didn't know what to call it, this original biological father, and now her father-in-law!
"Madam, Linlang's cheap girl dares to disobey! What do we do next? In the warm room, Li'er diligently served tea and poured water, while carefully rubbing the sour waist of the eldest lady.
"Hmph, she doesn't agree! I'm afraid it won't be her turn to speak then! The eldest lady comfortably enjoyed Li'er's rubbing, looked at the swaying fire with a cruel gaze, and listened to the sound of rain outside the window with a playful smile.
Tick.
The rain gradually subsided, but it couldn't hide the eldest lady's increasingly cruel gaze.
"Lil?"
Xu came up with a perfect plan, the eldest lady smiled slightly, and took out Yan Yefeng's letter from her sleeve. "Later, I will go to Mr. Chengxi Mu's house, and ask him to write another one according to the handwriting of this letter and give it to Linlang!"
Mr. Mu in the west of the city! That's an out-and-out showman, who has pitted many people by imitating other people's handwriting. If it weren't for Li Zhidi's daily life, he would have been imprisoned a long time ago!
Li'er took the letter in the eldest lady's hand with a frown, with doubts in her eyes, "Madame means to let Li'er ......" When the eldest lady mentioned Bai Shaoyan, she suddenly had an epiphany, and laughed, with a vicious smile on the corner of her mouth.
Time passed silently, and the drizzle gradually quieted down, but the sky outside was even colder. Before you know it, the light rain turns into a snowstorm, dancing wildly with the north wind. It melts when it lands, just to leave a shadow in this world.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and in the blink of an eye, it has changed from tiny ice crystals to light flakes. Outside the towering gate of the Jin family, a lonely shadow stood in the snow, allowing the snow flakes to fall on his forehead and turn into cold rain and remain in his bun.
He is Bai Shaocheng, who is about to leave Jincheng and go to other places to deliver goods. The sad eyes were half-open and half-closed, and it was difficult to make up his mind. The thin lips opened, took a deep breath, and finally turned to leave.
The snow is flying and tireless.
Linlang lay on the bed, thinking carefully about the words of the eldest lady. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Bang! Boom! Boom! The rhythm was short and powerful, as if the people in the room were afraid that they would not hear it.
"Who? Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang? Qiao Yu? Qiao Yu? ”
Linlang shrank back, cocked her head and called softly. The two girls seemed to be sleeping deeply, and none of them responded.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
There was a quick knock on the door one after another, and it rang again, and Linlang sighed, put on a big hat, and came to the door with tired steps.
Flying in the sky, fluttering and shaking.
There was not a single figure in sight in the silent courtyard. Linlang looked around suspiciously, and called again: "Yanxiang? Qiao Yu? ”
These two girls, hey!
Linlang was about to go back to the house, and suddenly found a letter at her feet. The two words on it are ethereal and tactful. Although it looks handsome, there is strength in the bend of the pen. Apparently the handwriting of someone who practiced martial arts.
Linlang hesitantly picked up the letter and opened it to view it. Just one glance, the eyes wrapped in cold can no longer be calm.
Shangshuyun:
The Bai family freighted in all directions, the road was far away, and bandits were rampant.
The real name is Yan Yefeng.
Yan Yefeng's letter obviously smelled of threat, if he didn't agree, I was afraid that Bai Shaocheng would encounter speculation on the road.
This night, Linlang tossed and turned. As soon as it was dawn, I got up early and dragged my heavy steps to the main hall.
"Father-in-law, Linlang agrees to marry Yan Yefeng!"
In just a few words, the fragile heart was shattered. When she turned around, Linlang let her tears slip down and staggered away under Jin Chi's surprised gaze.
The sun shone on the earth, and the rain mixed with the chill of the night drifted away. The eldest lady was late with her stomach up, and the main hall was already full of people at this time.
"Ha, I've kept everyone waiting!" The eldest lady smiled apologetically and touched her stomach and swept through everyone.
"My sister is inconvenient, so it's okay to wait!" Mrs. Chi glanced at the third aunt and answered with a smile.
The abscess on the third aunt's face had not yet fully recovered, but it had been smoothed out much under the care of Doctor Tong. Only some dark spots are difficult to fade, like pockmarks, sticking to the fair face.
She and the new fourth aunt Liu just nodded in response, but An Ge said flatteringly: "Mother is tired day and night, and she is heartbroken for Linlang's affairs, we should wait!" ”
Jin Chi snorted coldly, he was not interested in this son who suddenly appeared, and An Ge liked to be a sycophant, so he was even more disgusted with him in his heart.
"Ruyun, Linlang came to see me this morning, and she agreed to Yan Yefeng's proposal!" Jin Chi pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the eldest lady to sit down.
At this moment, the status of everyone in the Jin family is clear at a glance.
Jin Chi and Li Ruyun sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals Table, the first seat on the left was Chi Jingfei, the second seat was Yu Lianzhu, but the original third seat was empty, Liu Jinghe and An Ge An Wu both sat on the right.
"Ruyun, how did you arrange Linlang's marriage?" After the eldest lady took her seat, Jin Chi tilted her body and looked to the right, just sweeping over An Ge's flattering face, and her heart became more and more displeased. When he saw Liu's lowered eyes, the silent apology suddenly erupted. "Jinghe, sit here, you are an elder, it's not appropriate to sit with the children."
A look of contempt flashed on the eldest lady's face, and she changed to a smile, "Yes, why did my sister sit over there?" ”
Seeing that Liu always lowered his head and carefully sat on the empty chair on the left, the eldest lady turned her head and said, "Master, Linlang is your righteous daughter after all." But Ruyun still wants her to marry in the Jin family. It's ......"
"It's okay, Yu Linlang and the East Nine League are both Jianghu sects. They don't have high requirements for marriage, they just want a lively! I have already told Brother Fang, Linlang's marriage is set at the Jin family, and you can take the time to go to Dajue Temple to find an auspicious day. Brother Fang will be here in a few days! ”
"What does Linlang mean?" The eldest lady quietly mentioned it, and seeing that Jin Chi was silent, she continued: "That's what the master meant, right?" It's better to leave this matter to Ruyun to do, it will definitely make Linlang happily marry in the Jin family! ”
