Chapter 25 A Gentleman Shall Not Be Dishonored

Although he has always been bold, Li Ling is now a little nervous in his heart. Of course, anyone who visits his mother-in-law for the first time will not have a calm mind. followed Zhang Fayao to an inner hall, only to see an old woman sitting there quietly, although she was over sixty years old, she was in good spirits, and her two deep-set eyes were deep and bright.

Li Ling hurriedly saluted and said, "Boy Li Ling pays a visit to the old lady." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said with some doubts: "Since you brought the jade pendant here, how is Brother Chunshan now?" Why is your surname Lee? The old woman also has some confusion. ”

Li Ling hurriedly explained: "Back then, the master's family of twenty lives were framed by traitors, and he escaped to the suburbs of Jinan alone to make a living as a fortune teller. ”

"What?" Mrs. Zhang was shocked and said, "Brother Chunshan's family was framed? Where has he been all these years? Why don't you come to my Zhang family for help? Ah! Poor thing. A look of grievance.

Seeing her sad expression, Li Ling was also sad in his heart, when the master was a lonely and miserable old man, he witnessed the lives of a family of more than 20 people, and he fell one by one beside him but could not do anything, how devastating he was, and how much he suffered in the past 20 years of life, but fortunately, he had himself by his side over the years, and he could share some sorrows for him.

Mrs. Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "He must have had a bad time all these years." Alas! I didn't expect them to suffer such a catastrophe, Brother Chunshan is my Zhang family's great benefactor. Where he is now, I personally go and ask him to come. ”

"The master has been fluctuating in the past two years, but he just said that he would preside over it when I got married." Li Ling replied.

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "Back then, the little girl had a marriage contract with Ren Gongzi, and now Ren Gongzi has already passed away, so let's think about this matter." Since your master sent you over, you will stay here for two days first, after all, our master is out of town now, and I will send someone to inform him. ”

Li Ling also knew that this matter was a little panicked, after all, Miss Zhang was not engaged to herself, but she asked her family to marry her, and only the master could come up with this kind of thing. No matter what, since he is from Ze'anzhi, he will stay for a while, and then he nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by Mrs. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"What? It's great that I finally don't have to fulfill any marriage contracts. Zhang Kexin was overjoyed when she got the news, it turned out that her fiancΓ© was long gone, and this person named Li Ling was actually an impostor.

She couldn't help but be unhappy, thinking that she Zhang Kexin was born in a famous family, and she was both talented and beautiful, and no matter how many sons and young masters flocked to her, she couldn't get into her eyes, and she had always been arrogant, how could she find a man to marry casually. Although this Li Ling has some skills, he is not her ideal Prince Charming. The marriage contract that used to be constrained by her is now just a piece of waste paper.

"Don't be too happy." The maid Xiu'e has lived with the young lady since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is very good, and she has no worries, saying: "Although the son of the Ren family died early, the father of the family did not die, and he accepted an apprentice to propose marriage." I think that our master has always died to save face and suffer crimes, how can he shirk it. ”

The pretty face that was smiling like a flower froze, Zhang Kexin knew that what she said was reasonable, and the mood seemed to fall from heaven to hell all of a sudden, she said a little anxiously: "How is this good, if Daddy comes back, it will be difficult to reverse things, what should I do?" ”

Xiu'e said: "Miss, then Young Master Li is also very good, but he is not so handsome, what kind of uncle do you want to find?" If you don't agree, you can only tell him yourself, and then persuade him to leave before he returns. ”

"Yes, I'll persuade him to leave." Zhang Kexin thought for a moment.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Li Ling and You Fei had nothing to do, they were playing chess in the house provided by the Zhang family, and the two of them were fighting for each other. At this time, Miss Zhang Kexin of the Zhang family pushed the door in, and the two were stunned, is it true that girls are really so open now, and they still come to contact each other before getting married? You Fei smiled narrowly, and hurriedly disrupted his somewhat declining chess game, and said, "This is a draw." ”

Li Ling was at a loss in the face of Zhang Kexin, and hurriedly got up to give up his seat.

Zhang Kexin seemed to be concerned and said: "You have worked hard from afar, can you still adapt here?" I have a few gold leaves here, so I'll take them to buy daily necessities. ”

Gold leaf is a kind of gold that is widely circulated among wealthy families, but it is not just taken on the street as ordinary currency.

Although she had some doubts, Li Ling didn't speak and waited for her to follow. Zhang Kexin said again: "I only know that Brother Li's family lives in Zhangqiu, but I don't know who else is in the family?" What school did you graduate from? What is your current career? ”

Li Ling is the most troubled by others asking this kind of question, and it is not easy to hide it, and said: "I am ashamed, I studied medicine at Qilu University some time ago, and then dropped out for some reason. There is a father and two older brothers in the family, but the relationship has been severed. As for me, I have no permanent residence and no proper employment. ”

Zhang Kexin suddenly felt a little aggrieved when she heard this, this is the person her parents let her marry? The eldest is not small and has achieved nothing, and if he breaks off relations with the family, he is probably expelled from the family. A pair of cardigan costumes is reminiscent of street ruffians. In this case, the original regretful thoughts were gone, and he said ruthlessly: "My father made a marriage contract for me back then, but since one of them died, I want to ...... I wonder if the marriage contract should be dissolved. ”

Li Ling frowned when he heard this, and he also knew that this matter was indeed a bit ridiculous, but it was also a little sad to be divorced in person. Obeying the destiny of heaven, since this is the case, it is better to go back and have an explanation with the master, and said a little dishearteningly: "If Miss Zhang dissolves the marriage contract, please also explain your parents, if you have no opinions, I will leave here." ”

was originally a reasonable sentence, but it was different to Zhang Kexin's ears. If you tell your parents, isn't it just to let your parents put pressure on you to marry him, how can this Li Ling be so ignorant, he raised his face at the moment and said: "You also know that it is impossible between us, although I am not a golden branch and jade leaf, but I am also a beautiful lady and a good reader." If I were to marry a homeless man, I would rather die than give in. ”

Although Li Ling has been insulted a lot since he was a child, he was so despised by others, and he was also furious in his heart, and said coldly: "What a beautiful lady, knowledgeable and reasonable." You're just born into a good family. What's wrong with the homeless, there are too many wandering people in the world, you don't have to look down on them. ”

Zhang Kexin's face showed disdain, the corners of her mouth pulled up a slight arc, and said: "What qualifications do you have to say about me, who are you yourself, and you don't rely on yourself to humiliate others there." Let me tell you Li Ling, if I marry someone, Wen Neng will write a book and say, Wu Neng will worship the Marquis of Jin, if you can achieve one, I will marry without saying a word. ”

Li Ling looks down on this kind of arrogant and arrogant person the most, especially because he doesn't know why he has a little posture, and there is no one in his eyes. If you really become a general, you can't ask for her to be your aunt's wife. sneered and said, "The great warlord Zhang Zongchang meets your standards, you better go to him." ”

Zhang Zongchang said that he didn't know how much money: I didn't know how much money, I didn't know how much soldiers, and I didn't know how much my aunt didn't know.

"You...... You are a scoundrel," Zhang Kexin raised her eyebrows, she was speechless with anger, gasped a few times, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said, "I can compensate you, how much do you say?" These gold leaves are not eye-catching, right, okay, Xiu'e, bring the plate. Xiu'e, who was standing on the side of the door, walked in, holding a tray with rows of yellow ingots on it.

You Fei's eyes straightened, so many ingots were almost worth the property obtained in the Tan family, but it was not something that ordinary people could take.

Zhang Kexin raised her snow-white jaw slightly, like a princess giving alms, waiting for the other party to beg. These treasures, how many people dream of, in her cognition, can make anyone crazy, although she knows that Li Ling can take out a pair of earrings, but she can't get it properly.

was a little different from what Zhang Kexin expected, after her words came out, the young man in front of him, his body trembled violently, and he slowly raised his head, and his face, which was still a little immature, was now a little terrifying.

Although he has been ridiculed for many years, in Li Ling's heart, there is a bottom line that belongs to him. Zhang Kexin's high-minded, almsgiving-like action happened to trample on the only remaining dignity hidden in Li Ling's heart.

Li Ling had nowhere to vent, so he lifted his body and flew his legs, kicked out, and the tray flew away in response, and those treasures fell to the ground one after another. His fists were clenched, and his dark eyes burned with furious fire. The teeth trembled and leaked the words with murderous intent: "You, I'm not rare, I just came here but the master has a wish." You've only got a slightly better stinky skin, and now even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't want you. ”

Zhang Kexin was startled, and then she was angry, she was pampered since she was a child, when did she suffer from this kind of wretchedness, and she didn't care about the image of a lady, she scolded with her fingers: "You hooligan, what are you doing in my Zhang family?" The toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't look at himself in the mirror, didn't your parents teach you ....... Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, and he saw that Li Ling no longer had a trace of expression on his face, but his eyes were scarlet. It is a murderous aura that can penetrate people's hearts and ingest the soul. Like a wolf's eyes.

Pedaling and kicking, taking a few steps back, Zhang Kexin was still frightened, and she didn't understand why she was scared by him in her own home.

The only pure place in Li Ling's heart is his mother, although he has always appeared in his dreams, he must not allow others to be disrespectful. For the first time, he felt the urge to kill. His eyes showed a fierce light, even the You Fei next to him was startled. If Sun Yuzhu or He Jiatang were here, they would definitely understand Li Ling's mood at this time. Of course, if one of the two of them was here, they would have made a big fuss about the Zhang family a long time ago.

Slowly hiding the anger in his heart, Li Ling said in a deep voice: "I don't have a good family background and I don't have an outstanding appearance, but don't bully me into being poor and young." Clenched his fists and swore secretly that this was the last humiliation, the absolute last. He wants to get rid of poverty and get ahead, and he shouts again and again in his heart that he must become a master.

Zhang Kexin was also angry, and said: "I never look at the appearance of other people, if you make a difference within three years, I will rely on you in everything." ”

"The marriage contract can be withdrawn, but the gentleman must not be humiliated. If I don't die in three years' time, I will come to my house and say goodbye. Li Ling gritted his teeth and strode away.

Three years, not a long time, not a short time, he must come, not for the marriage contract, but for the tone of contention. is not to show off for the sake of achieving something in the future, but to tell her that the personality and dignity of people living at the bottom of society should not be insulted
