Knowing that Liu Jin was just a stone's throw away and looking at the overall situation, this meal naturally didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and the dessert after the meal was still in the buffet mode, Shi Ruoyun pulled Shen Junyi aside and said this matter concisely, hoping that Shen Junyi would retreat and give up Lin Wanjing. But Shen Junyi didn't care:

"Who I like is my personal freedom, the emperor Lao Tzu can't control it, can he Liu Jin help me and?"

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Shi Ruoyun stopped talking nonsense with him, just said that she could only help him get here in this matter, she was no better than his big family and was not afraid of power, after all, Yunlu Hotel was going to open for business and receive guests from all over the world. Shi Ruoyun felt that it was okay not to tell Shen Junyi about Liu Jin's thoughts, but as soon as he told him, he ignited his fighting spirit as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he looked like he had to chase Lin Wanjing into his hands.

The luncheon was dismissed, Lin Wanjing refused all kinds of fun proposals, only saying that she didn't sleep well last night so she wanted to go home to rest, Shen Junyi asked the little girl to get Lin Wanjing's cloak, and followed her all the way out of the venue to the main hall, insisting on sending her home, Lin Wanjing patiently refused:

"It's really not necessary, Shen Gongzi is also rare to have time to come out for a party, it's fun, I can go back by myself."

"It's some distance from Jingshan Road, you don't have a car today, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

"I'll find a way to go back by myself, and I don't have to trouble Shen Gongzi."

"Don't bother, I'll stop by."

"But I have another appointment......

"It's okay, I don't know where Miss Wanjing is going, I can send you over."

Liu Jin and his entourage came down from the elegant seat on the second floor, and saw the scene of the dispute between the two, watched for a while, and walked towards them, Shi Ruoyun saw this, his heart tightened, but he saw Liu Jin behind Lin Wanjing, looked at Shen Junyi, and said:

"You really don't have to trouble Shen Gongzi, Miss Wanjing is the person I dated."

Shen Junyi never thought that Liu Jin would really obstruct regardless of his identity, and couldn't help but be stunned, it was in this stunned moment that the little guy had already brought Lin Wanjing's black fox fur cloak, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation, he looked at Shen Junyi, looked at Liu Jin again, and finally presented it to Liu Jin with a knowing look, Liu Jin took it very naturally, unfolded it and draped it on Lin Wanjing's body, and then looked at Shen Junyi and said:

"Actually, Miss Wan Jing originally wanted to have lunch with me, but the Chamber of Commerce invited me temporarily, so I had to give this face. So there is no need to bother Shen Gongzi in the future, Liu will send Miss Wanjing back. ”

The words have been said clearly enough, and if you have to pretend that you don't understand, you will openly "declare war" on Liu Jin. Shen Junyi had no choice but to say goodbye and watch Liu Jin escort Lin Wanjing out. It wasn't until their backs disappeared behind the porch that Shi Ruoyun came up and twisted Shen Junyi's arm fiercely:

"See? Believe it, right? You have to hit the south wall to give up, don't you? ”

Shen Junyi was unwilling, gritted her teeth and replied with two words: "Not necessarily!" ”

"What else do you want to do?" Shi Ruoyun was shocked, "Do you look like Wanjing is forced?" There are as many beautiful women as rice, why do you bother to make Liu Jin unhappy for her alone? ”

"If it's someone else, it's just that, but she, Lin Wanjing, I can't give it up!"

Under the corridor, Lin Wanjing and Liu Jin stood side by side, but they were a little restrained. She heard Liu Jin's words clearly, if it wasn't for the action of helping her put on clothes, she could still understand that it was said casually to help her break the siege, but with that action, she wasn't sure if his appearance was a coincidence at the moment. The two were silent with each other like this, until Lu Canghan came out of the toilet, and Lin Wanjing waited until Liu Jin was leaving, and hurriedly said:

"Thank you to the young marshal for helping me out of the siege today, if the young marshal is free, I will be the east tonight, a little thanks."

Liu Jin pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid it's unfortunate today, the dinner has been arranged separately." ”

Lu Canghan heard Liu Jin's refusal, and his jaw was about to drop: the day before yesterday, I don't know who learned that Lin Wanjing accepted someone else's invitation, and she was annoyed like a lion who had been robbed of food. Now that the food that has been taken away is delivered to the door by himself, he is good, and he will not give any face. Looking at Lin Wanjing's slightly disappointed expression, he was just about to open his mouth, when he heard Liu Jin say again:

"But if it's this afternoon, there's time."

Lu Canghan just wanted to say, yes, this plot development is reasonable, but after thinking about it, it's not right, yesterday Liu Jin said that he was going to go back to the military port with him to inspect, it seems that he was going to release his pigeons! Sure enough, before he could ask, he listened to Liu Jin's voice again:

"Canghan, I'll trouble you to go back by yourself in a while."

"But you said ...... yesterday"

"What you said, it's rare for me to take a vacation," Liu Jin patted Lu Canghan's shoulder very buddy, "By the way, take my driver back by the way, and I'll drive it myself." ”

Lu Canghan was stuck for a long time but couldn't think of suitable words, and finally held back a sentence: "Liu Jin, you are really okay!" ”

sent Lin Wanjing back to the Lin family's mansion, and then went back to Yukuntai to change into formal clothes, and when she arrived at Liu Daolin's mansion, it was already dark. The Shuai's Mansion is brightly lit, and the family banquet is about to begin.

"The eldest young master has arrived!"

With this sound, the hall fell silent for a moment, and Liu Daolin's eyes were shining, and he stood up to greet him. Seeing Liu Dashuai like this, the guests did not dare to slack off, they all stood up and watched Liu Jin walk into the hall, his handsome facial features were more and more brilliant under the light of the crystal lamp, the straight military uniform decorated his already open shoulders and back almost perfectly, and the golden tassels were layered on his chest, swaying from side to side with his steady pace.

"Jin'er, come, sit here!" Liu Daolin greeted him.

"Dashuai, why do you still call the nickname of the eldest young master, they are all adults who are about to stand up!" Liu Daolin's side, the eldest lady She scolded in a coquettish voice.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's not good for me, I forget it when I'm happy!" Liu Daolin laughed.

Liu Jin didn't mind, walked straight to Liu Daolin without squinting, approached closer, and bowed respectfully:

"Father!"

"Well, good! All right! Liu Daolin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's still my Jin'er who knows the etiquette best, and she deserves to be the boss, and she is qualified to be a role model for her brothers!" ”

With the last important person seated, the family banquet finally kicked off. This is the year-end banquet of the year-end convention, and the people present are all high-ranking officials and their families from various provinces, provinces, divisions and brigades, and it is also a social occasion that this young marshal who holds great power but has a blank emotional life rarely attends. is such an important occasion, it is natural to talk about Liu Jin's marriage, and after three rounds of drinking, She picked the topic:

"Yun Rou, don't blame your aunt for being too talkative, you're not too young, shouldn't you think about marriage?"

The aunts and wives have a tacit understanding, Miss Zhang's Miss Li Family's competition for recommendation, you talk about it word by word, Liu Jin doesn't talk, and thinks about his own affairs in his heart: Although Liu Daolin is still able to speak on the south coast at the moment, his body is not as good as before, and the old injuries left on the battlefield in the early years are becoming more and more obvious, and I don't know how long the time to sit in Luzhou will be. It is rumored that if the marshal decides to enjoy his old age, it must be the eldest son who will take over the power, after all, his contributions to the coastal defense of Luzhou over the years are obvious to all, and the military power of Luzhou is also in his hands. But all of this can only be said under the table, because no matter how brave and good he is and has outstanding military achievements, he is still a concubine, and if he takes over Luzhou, I am afraid it will be reasonable and unreasonable. Hearing these rumors, I am afraid that he is not the only one, and Liu Ang, the third young master who is also a concubine with him, has already begun to set up his own bureau - to win over officials at all levels internally, collude with wealthy merchant groups externally, and even maintain close ties with the military forces of all parties in neighboring provinces on the grounds of "joint operation and solid defense", the purpose is to use the hands of others to contain Liu Jin's fleet.

Whether these messages are true or not, it seems that it is time to pave the way for yourself, but a political marriage is a wise choice. Most of the ladies in the mouths of the aunts and wives are the daughters of powerful people, and after the door, no matter the family background is impeccable, but for him, most of the girls with such a background rely on the power of their fathers and are too strong, and there are many things to accommodate, and it is much more difficult to master, in the final analysis, they are all used by each other, but he hates to be used.

If it was earlier, he wouldn't think much about marriage, as if for him, whoever will share the same bed in the future will be the same, as long as it helps him, Liu Daolin recognized it again, and went with him. But now when he thinks about this problem, he feels uncomfortable for no reason, no matter which one his aunts and wives name, he is a little unlikely.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, and didn't move his chopsticks, as if he had something in mind, Liu Daolin personally removed the leg of the roast chicken and put it in Liu Jin's bowl, Liu Jin woke up, thanked Liu Daolin first, and then raised his glass to everyone at the table:

"Thank you for your concern. However, Yun Rou already has her own plans, and you have to worry about it.

"Oh? Already have a plan? She didn't intend to end the topic here, and broke the casserole and wanted to ask to the end, "Which young lady is so outstanding that we Yun Shuai have this time." ”

"Auntie laughed, but Yun Rou thought that the time had not come." Liu Jin drank all the wine in the cup, "Please also ask the elders to forgive Yun Rou for concealing the mistake." ”

The meaning of his desire to end this topic is already so obvious, the aunts and wives are not talking much, the dinner is over, the guests enter the banquet hall one after another, Liu Daolin is accompanied by the aunts and wives to go back to the room to rest first, so it seems that half of the rumors are true - Liu Daolin's health is not as good as before, and it has come to the time when he must consider who Shuai Yin will hand over. Liu Jin was not interested in such a banquet, so he just sat on the sofa in the corner, planning to go home when the wine was gone, Liu Ming saw him sitting alone, so he walked towards him from the guest room, approached him and said:

"Big brother, congratulations."

"Where does the joy come from?" Liu Jin asked rhetorically.

"Brother Fang just said that his heart belongs, so he won't admit it at this time?"

Liu Jin smiled dumbly, just casually said that he wanted to change the topic, but he didn't want to dig a hole for himself, and he had to fill it. Since it is a family banquet, there are not so many rules, Liu Ming simply went to his side, and moved closer, Liu Jin really loved this younger brother, so he did not exclude it, and let him gossip and interrogate:

"Brother, have I seen this girl?" Seeing that Liu Jin didn't answer, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he continued to ask: "This young lady is in the city at the moment?" Liu Jin still didn't reply, the deeper the smile, but he said several names in a row, Liu Jin shook his head and denied it, and couldn't help but wonder: "The number of famous young ladies in Luzhou City is not, could it be a ...... from other provinces."

"Guess, just guess." Liu Jin raised his hand and rubbed his hair.

That meant that he couldn't have guessed it anyway. Liu Ming was not persistent, and the conversation changed:

"Brother, if you are decided, bring it back as soon as possible."

"How?"

"I can't hide it, I heard that we have a great person in Luzhou City, who said that he has a solid family background, is beautiful and lovely, and has stayed abroad for a higher education, so he can speak in front of foreigners......" Liu Ming's words Liu Jin heard how familiar he was, raised his eyebrows, and interrupted him:

"Are you interested in this young lady?"

Liu Ming smiled innocently: "The so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good~ I can't hide it, brother, my mother is also urging me......"

"Yes, your grade is not young, if there is a good girl, look for yourself." Liu Jin said, "However, she is the only one, not good." ”

The last sentence seemed to have a deep meaning, Liu Ming muttered those words several times, as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand, but Liu Jin didn't answer his doubts, and after chatting about some things, he said goodbye and prepared to leave.

The driver drove the car to the front of the corridor and stopped, Liu Jin took the car, glanced at the time, it was still early, he wanted to go straight home, but for some reason there was an indescribable impulse in his heart, so he leaned on the back of the chair and rested for a while, trying to suppress this impulse, but where did he calm down, closed his eyes, and his eyes were full of Lin Wanjing's beautiful appearance at the luncheon.

After a long time, he sneered, and the engine of the black sedan started and headed towards the Lin family's mansion at No. 19 Jingshan Road.
