In the hall, Li Jinglun, the head of the family, sat upright on the sandalwood official hat chair at the top, and the porcelain tea cup from Jingdezhen in his hand made a small but unusually harsh sound after his repeated rubbing.

His face was pale, and there was anger in his eyes that he had forcibly suppressed.

It's too much of a deception!

Their Lin family is really too deceitful, and the family affairs that have been decided a long time ago are now going to be repented, if this matter is spread, where should their old face go?

How could he, Lin Beiji, do such a lack of virtue as repentance and marriage?

Is this what a poet heirloom should do?

Do you want the door wind, do you want the reputation?

On the right-hand side, sitting with him was Lin Beiji, who had previously set up the marriage of Li Lin's children with him.

At this moment, Lin Beiji's face looked a little embarrassed, and he felt quite uncomfortable sitting in this room. No matter how you say it, this thing is not very authentic by yourself, I am afraid that when my brother comes back, he will scold himself, saying that he has insulted the door or something------

Still, he had to hold on until he quit the business.

Their Lin family was originally an official eunuch, and it was a noble family of poetry heirlooms, and their ancestors had served as officials in the previous dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the Lin family can only be regarded as the official eunuchs of the previous dynasty, after all, now that the dynasty has changed, the official eunuchs of the previous dynasty seem to be of little use------

Not to mention, just say that Lin Beiji's cousin-in-law won the two Jinshi rankings a few years ago, and now he is also a ministerial-level senior official in the court. After beating this cousin-in-law's list, the Lin family is also lucky, and in recent years, it has climbed into a good family business, although this is the in-laws of the big house, but after all, he is also a member of the Lin family, isn't it?

Of course, people often say "one table is three thousand miles, one class is five hundred years", and the relationship between cousins is already relatively estranged, not to mention that the other party is still the cousin's husband? It is true that the Lin family can follow the light, but they will not get too many practical benefits because of this.

But just a little bit of light, the Lin family was already very satisfied, and in Lin Beiji's heart, there were even more faint thoughts of comparing with his brother. So, he agreed to the family business mentioned by the Li family.

At that time, Li Qian had already raised people in high school and went to Jinling Guozijian to study.

According to common sense, the two families can be regarded as a good match, and even Lin Beiji is secretly happy in his heart, glad for his high climb. After all, the son-in-law of his eldest brother was just a lifter, but Li Qian at that time was the first genius in Zhejiang, and he entered Taixue as the township test Xie Yuan.

In other words, Lin Beiji has long seen the future of this future son-in-law, and maybe his future achievements will be higher than his cousin-in-law------

However, the development of things was somewhat unexpected, and this kid was dismissed as soon as he was admitted to the Jinshi. This shows that when today's son doesn't like him very much, or even dislikes him very much, where is the future to speak of?

Not long after this happened, Lin Beiji didn't know that there was such a thing, thanks to the timely news from the Zhao family, otherwise he would still be in the dark.

Hmph, this Li family is too unkind! Didn't you even send someone to inform you of such a big thing, didn't you make it clear that you wanted to cheat on the marriage, and when the raw rice was cooked and cooked, let the matter become a sure and irrevocable fact?

Now that I think about it, it's not bad to quit this family business, at least the Zhao family is much stronger than the Li family now, the son of the Zhao family, I heard that he has been active recently, and he plans to pay tribute to the prince of the country to study.

Although Li Qian is now a two-rank jinshi, he is now just a eunuch of Zhishi, compared to Zhao Peng, a national supervisor who will still have the opportunity to be an official in the future, Lin Beiji is obviously more willing to choose the latter.

So, taking advantage of the absence of his brother, he planned to quickly withdraw from the marriage, which is why he came to the Li family today to withdraw from the marriage.

"Brother Li, look at this matter------ hehe, the so-called twisted melon is not sweet, let's forget about the family affairs of the two families, right? You look at the situation of the second son of your family, you must know better than me, so I won't say more. In short, in a word, our Lin family decided to quit this family today! ”

"Lin Beiji!"

Li Jinglun finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, slapped the armrest with his right hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Is this your Lin family's door?" The gentleman's style of keeping his word has made you Lin Beiji feed the dog? This is the Lin family of the Shili heirloom? I'm not afraid that it will make people laugh when it gets out! ”

Li Xiao has been standing quietly on the side, seeing that the Lin family is so snobbish, and he is also angry when he says these words against Li Qian in front of their father and son. But he was not good at talking, and his father was present, so he didn't speak out rashly, and he sat there with his eyes and nose and heart, like an old monk in his mind.

"The style of a gentleman? Humph------"

When Lin Beiji saw that the other party tore his face, and the words he said were so ugly, he sneered back and said disdainfully: "What about the gentleman's style? The ancestors of the Lin family have been guarding the style of gentlemen for generations, haven't they become what they are now, and have fallen into such a situation where they are not up or down today? ”

"You ------"

"Yes, yes, it's not nice to say, vulgar people know that spitting is a nail, and I really did a bad job today------

When Lin Beiji said this, he slowed down his tone again, and patiently explained: "But Brother Li, Brother Li, you don't don't understand the truth that this person goes to a high place and the water flows to a low place!" My daughter marries your son, and it is not a problem to have no worries about food and clothing, but can your Li family let her live a more beautiful life in the future? Can I become Mrs. Destiny and make my face as a father shine? ”

When Li Jinglun heard his brazen remarks, he was even more angry, his face was also flushed, and he almost threw his cup and shouted "send off".

At this moment, he was actually extremely entangled in his heart, this family business was not his own family that had climbed their Lin family, even if his son was now just a eunuch of Zhishi, his status could not be low. But if the Lin family really withdraws from the marriage today, how can the Li family have face in the future? How should we be based in the world and in this Hangzhou mansion?

Even Li Xiao, who has always been silent and has been watching coldly, couldn't help it at this time.

Raising his eyes, he saw that Lin Beiji opened his mouth and was about to say more, he spoke first, and sneered coldly: "There is no need to say anything superfluous, you have to withdraw from this family business, and our Li family agrees to ------ your Lin family, it is really difficult to climb!" ”

Let him choke like this, Lin Beiji's face is not very good-looking. But he also knew that he was unreasonable in this matter, and if he went to argue with a junior again, he could only surrender his identity. At that moment, he had no choice but to force a slightly stiff smile, got up and arched his hand to the Li family's father and son, intending to say goodbye and leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there were several crisp sounds outside the door.

Smack, smack, slap------

This is the sound of someone applauding, the sound is crisp and crisp, not slow, but it seems to be more abrupt in the ears of the three people in the room at this moment, especially when Lin Beiji hears it, it feels particularly ------ harsh.

His eyelids jerked, and there was a vague sense of foreboding, as if something unpleasant was about to happen. Looking up in the direction of the door, I saw that the second son of the Li family had opened the bamboo curtain at some point, and was standing there calmly clapping his palms, and every time he slapped with a sense of rhythm------

Li Qian pursed his lips and smiled, and looked at his brother Li Xiao with an appreciative look of "I am very optimistic about you".

"What the eldest brother said is that the high branches of their Lin family, I, Li Qian, really can't climb it."

“------”

The Li brothers cooperated closely and took turns to taunt, which finally made Lin Beiji completely annoyed, but he only looked at the sharp gaze projected by Li Qian for a moment, and he was defeated.

Strange, so weird!

Lin Beiji was suspicious in his heart, and said in his heart, this Li family boy, why did he go to Jinling and come back, he no longer gave people a feeling of weakness and weakness like before?

Since Li Qian came in, Li Jinglun has not spoken out again, and even his sons have not had time to stop their rude behavior by saying sarcastic words to their elders------ in fact, he has never thought of scolding his son, after all, he is also angry today, and he has nowhere to vent.

Li Jinglun's heart is actually a little puzzled, because Li Qian's behavior today is really a little inconsistent with the cowardice in his impression. He couldn't figure out how his youngest son had changed so much in just half a year, could it be that he was affected by the dragon qi of the Jinling Imperial Capital?

Here, Lin Beiji is not in the mood to fight with the two juniors anymore. He pretended to be full of self-cultivation, bowed his hand politely to Li Jinglun, and walked away.

Since the family affairs have been retired, he has no intention of continuing to stay here, which will only make the Li family's father and son unhappy. Lin Beiji dared to swear to the sky that the Li family would never leave him for lunch today------

I didn't want to take a few steps, but there was an exclamation from outside the door.

Lin Beiji frowned, and the word "Sichuan" appeared deeply on his forehead, and he said in his heart What is the moth of the Li family?

looked up, but saw that the person who came was just a little maid of the Li family, probably running too quickly, and accidentally tripped on the threshold. Standing in front of the door, Li Qian, who had just stepped into the house a few steps, was quick and caught her petite body.

It's just that the roll of paper she was holding in her hand flew out in this fall, fell to the ground in front of her, rolled a few times and slowly spread out, slowly showing the contents of it in front of everyone in the room------
