The official meeting with Ye Qiuluo was at the banquet in the Shuaifu, and Liu Daolin personally set up a banquet for Ye Qiuluo to catch the wind and wash the dust, which somewhat showed a special preference to the taste of the world.

The dinner was over, and then there was the usual social dance party, the lounge was very quiet, Lin Wanjing was sitting on the sofa, looking at the quiet night outside the window in a daze, Xiao Yichen was already sleepy, curled up in Lin Wanjing's arms and slept soundly.

At the dinner just now, Liu Jin could snub Ye Qiuluo's various actions Lin Wanjing saw it in her eyes, Ye Qiuluo called her "sister", and even the scene of toasting was the same as Pei Yue in the past, just when she didn't know how to deal with it, Liu Jin stepped forward:

"Uchiko is not strong enough to drink, I will drink this glass of wine for her."

Ye Qiuluo's face darkened, but he quickly hid the unhappiness: "I know the amount of wine that Brother Yun Rou drinks, if I want to drink with you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance of winning." ”

"Okay, I'll have three glasses, one cup to you, so it's not like I'm bullying you, right?" Liu Jin said as he drank all the wine in the cup, three glasses in a row, without giving Ye Qiuluo the slightest room to return the favor.

Ye Qiuluo was not interested, and she drank the wine and didn't have anything to do, her frustration Lin Wanjing saw it in her eyes, and at the same time saw Liu Daolin's slightly unhappy expression.

What Liu Daolin said that day in Yukuntai, at this moment, Lin Wanjing understood the deep meaning:

"In the future, there are some things that you have to think about Yun Rou a lot, even if it really makes you uncomfortable, as long as it helps him, you have to break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, remember?"

This is to imply that everything she has now is not unique to her, and sooner or later she will have to share it with others, that is, she is unwilling and helpless.

The door of the lounge opened, and Lin Wanjing smiled and made a silent gesture to Liu Jin, and whispered: "I'll take Chen'er back first, he slept so deeply, I'm afraid he will sleep until tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Jin nodded: "Let's go, I'll go back too." ”

Lin Wanjing was relieved, but when she thought of Liu Daolin's expression at the dinner table, she shook her head again: "I'll just go back by myself, don't let the guests say that you don't know the general situation." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Jin smiled disdainfully, "I'm just doing this, they're used to it." ”

"Don't be, it's rare for my father to be so happy today, so you can accompany him more. Besides......"

Before Lin Wanjing finished speaking, the door of the lounge opened again, Ye Qiuluo pushed the door in, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and said excitedly: "Brother Yunrou, the handsome man asked you to go out to open!" ”

Liu Jin turned his head and looked at her coldly: "I'm not going." I sent Wanjing home. ”

Ye Qiuluo was speechless, watching Liu Jin walk in front of her with Lin Wanjing in her arms, looking at the backs of the two, she stomped her feet and followed the two to the porch.

The car was already waiting under the corridor, Liu Jin escorted the mother and son into the car, and was about to get into the car, but was stopped by Lin Wanjing. Ye Qiuluo stood far away, and he couldn't hear what the two said, but he saw Lin Wanjing's palm against Liu Jin's chest, Liu Jin's expression was serious and gentle, and after a few words, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips gently, completely ignoring the guests who came and went around him.

On the night of the ball, Liu Jin did not return to Yukuntai, and did not come back for several days. Li Chengtai said that the open sea was in an emergency, and Liu Jin went to the open sea overnight on the night of the ball, and Lin Wanjing was never able to convince herself to believe Li Chengtai's words, but it seemed that the more suspicious she was, the more difficult she was to sleep.

In the past few days, the gossip in the market and neighborhoods has become more and more presumptuous, and Liu Jin is afraid of this matter overnight, and it has become an after-dinner chatter, they say that Liu Jin is afraid of Lin Wanjing's influence among foreigners, and said that if there is no Lin Wanjing, Liu Jin will not be able to sit firmly in the position of major marshal of the navy. is not afraid of big things, and put Pei Yue's old past on the table again, although the matter of wild seeds has not been distorted, but there are also more arguments that Lin Wanjing can't tolerate Liu Jin's attachment to others and kill the concubine.

In the face of all kinds of ill-intentioned suspicions from the outside world, Lin Wanjing chose to remain silent.

Lin Wanjing stood by the window, looking at the bay under the moonlight and was stunned, and in a trance, she remembered the beautiful opening of "The Daughter of the Sea" in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, which led her to endless reverie. Once when she was young, she fantasized countless times about what the sculptures in her garden should look like, and it seemed that if Li Lingrui's face was used to copy it, there was always something inappropriate that could not be explained.

Later, she met Liu Jin, and the face of the sculpture in her heart instantly became clear, she was so happy that she even forgot the ending of the Little Mermaid and the Prince in the story......

Thinking like this, there was an indescribable sadness in the inky bay.

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and before Lin Wanjing could think about it, she turned back to Li Chengtai and pushed the door in with Liu Jin in her arms. The two people at the door obviously didn't expect Lin Wanjing to be in the study, and they were really stunned by the movements under their feet.

When I came back, I didn't go to the bedroom, but went directly into the study, which was deliberately avoiding her.

He looked at her with some affection in his eyes, and she didn't avoid it, she walked towards him calmly, and helped him to sit down on the chaise longue by the window. Li Chengtai turned around and left with interest, and gently closed the door of the study before leaving.

Liu Jin has a strong smell of alcohol, and she has never seen him drink so much wine since she knew him. Xu knew about Ye Qiuluo's existence, and the silence between the two was so embarrassing at this moment.

She wanted to ask him why he drank so much, but as soon as she spoke, he hugged her tightly in his arms, so tight that she could barely breathe.

But it was this intimate gesture that she felt extremely depressed, as if it was a thunderstorm brewing for many days in the summer, and it was difficult to return to the verge of collapse.

Finally, Liu Jin seemed to hesitate for a long time before she whispered in her ear:

"Father...... You want me to marry Ye Qiuluo. ”

His voice was low and hoarse, it was this hoarse voice that struck Lin Wanjing's heart, as if tearing the softness in her chest. In fact, she already knew that Liu Daolin had called her to talk about it two days ago, and she just used "everything depends on Yunrou's meaning" Tang Sai to go over. She never thought that when Liu Jin really said this matter, she would feel like this in her heart.

"That'...... What do you mean? She asked.

But before she could hear the answer, despair had swallowed up what little hope she had left.

"I don't know...... his voice was still low, and he hugged her tighter in his hands, "Ye Jiangxiong controls the entire Guards Division in Luzhou, and he has not been supporting his troops for a day or two, if he wants to rebel, even for his father, it is a threat." ”

His meaning is very clear, that is, he should only act on the spot, if he wants the power of Luzhou, it is imperative to marry Ye Qiuluo.

"You are my only wife, Chen'er's only mother, your place, she can never be replaced, I can promise you all this. If you don't want to see her, I'll keep her outside, and you won't be ......upset if you don't bring her back."

Seeing that Lin Wanjing didn't answer, Liu Jin was a little anxious, and called a few times in her ear: "Wanjing, what do you want me to do, you say, if I can do it, I will satisfy you." ”

"If I want you not to marry her, will you do it?" Lin Wanjing asked, her voice low, with a tone that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Liu Jin was silent, so this was the most direct answer for her.

"Yun Rou, is this world really so important to you?" She asked again, looking at his eyes covered with looming moisture, he was dumbfounded, and before he could answer, she lowered her head and chuckled, "What white heads are concentric, what is not abandoned, after all, it is just like ......this."

The drunken stamina seemed to affect his reflex nerves, and he was so slow that he couldn't hear her words clearly for a while, only to feel a hot current in his chest, and as soon as he lowered his head to kiss her, his brain was drowsy, and he fell heavily into her arms.

After this night, Liu Jinzhen never returned to Yukuntai, and for a short time, it was only at Lin Wanying's wedding.

Lin Wanying married into the Shen family, and she was the right person.

It has been less than two months from kissing to getting married, which has once again refreshed the concept of marriage of the people of Luzhou.

Others are just watching the excitement, why are they in a hurry to get married, the reason is only clear to the Lin family themselves - since that day, the old man knew about the transfer of the Lin family's capital, and the old man sighed day by day, and his body deteriorated. On the day when the Shen family said that they were married, they specially invited the most famous feng shui gentleman in Luzhou City to accompany him, and checked the eight characters in front of everyone in the Lin family, saying that the marriage between the two families happened to be happy for the Lin family, and there was no harm in it. This family affair was settled. Lin Wanjing felt that it was inappropriate, but since it was the decision of the whole family, the parties had no opinions, and she didn't think about it anymore, she just hoped that Lin Wanying would be happy.

Lin Wanying held a decent traditional wedding, with a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, eight sedan chairs into the door, and a half-length gown sleeve full of two-finger-wide gold bracelets, compared with the grand novelty of Lin Wanjing's wedding, it is another luxurious scenery.

Coming out of the Shen family's house, Lin Wanjing got into the car first, and Liu Jin was about to get in the car, but when he saw the casual soldiers pressing a beggar and walking towards him, he looked dignified, closed the car door and watched a group of people come to him.

"Young marshal, I found that there can be characters wandering around."

The melancholy that flashed in Liu Jin's eyes was taken in by Li Chengtai, and before Liu Jin could speak, Li Chengtai said, "Are you too nervous?" It's just a beggar, presumably just trying to come here to eat. ”

The soldiers hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young marshal, we feel that this person is very similar to the mastermind of the Longmen Village turmoil a few days ago......"

"Impossible." Liu Jin interrupted him, "Liao Kai is dead. ”

"But the young marshal ......"

"Nothing!" Liu Jin said sternly, "Didn't you hear me clearly?" Liao Kai is dead, and I personally disposed of the body. Are you doubting me? ”

The soldiers themselves did not dare to respond, so they let the people go and returned to the car. Liu Jin glanced at the beggar deeply, took out a silver ticket from his pocket and asked Li Chengtai to hand it to him, and then sat in the car.

Lin Wanjing saw what was happening outside the car through the window, and saw Liu Jin sitting next to her, so she asked about the situation with concern, but Liu Jin only said that she recognized the wrong person and took it with her.

After a short silence, Lin Wanjing asked again: "Do you want to go home together?" ”

Liu Jin's face stiffened for a moment, and then replied: "No, let Chengtai send you back in a while, I still have something to do." ”

Hearing his answer, Lin Wanjing only felt that her heart was falling heavily, and she answered in a low voice, so she didn't ask any more, she only felt that it was ridiculous for her to ask this question, she thought that she would get such an answer early in the morning, but she had to hear it with her own ears before she died.
