Chapter 17: Brother and Sister Talk

Lin Zichang sat alone in the Huxin Pavilion, meditating while drinking tea, and soon after, a light footstep came, he put down the teacup and stood up.

"Brother, is there anything wrong with calling me so late?" Although it was already past the beginning of summer, it was still a little cool at night, and Lin Ruoyi walked in with a small cloak on the outside.

Looking at Lin Ruoyi, who had grown into a slim man, Lin Zichang couldn't help but be in a trance, he hadn't noticed that his sister, who had been following him since he was a child, and who loved to pester him, had also grown up.

He smiled and beckoned Lin Ruoyi to sit down, and said with a trace of memory, "When your father died, you and Zihan were only four years old, and you were not very sensible at that time, but I didn't expect that the next year, your mother also went, and you were crying so darkly, alas, ten years have passed, and you are already fifteen years old, and you are going to leave your brother." ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruoyi suddenly burst into tears and sobbed in a low voice.

Lin Zichang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, he just felt it for a while, but he didn't expect to make his sister cry, although he was also sad in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of his sister, he didn't know how much pressure and suffering he had suffered over the years, but he never let her know that he endured it silently alone, and wanted to give her a happy childhood.

Fortunately, Lin Ruoyi is also a sensible girl, she has taken the initiative to share her family's worries since she was a child, and she is also generous in handling things.

Because she was vigilant when strangers met, she developed a cold look, and at that time, Zhao Wuregret still thought she was an iceberg beauty, but only later when the two got acquainted with each other did they know that her nature was not like this, but it was just a helpless move as a child of the family.

Lin Zichang persuaded her for a while before she stopped crying, took out a silk scarf and gently wiped away her tears, and then asked again, "By the way, brother, what are you calling me to do so late?" Also, what did you mean by that last sentence?"

"Hehe, you've grown up, and you also have to think about your life's events," Lin Zichang joked with a smile.

"Ah, brother, you, you, it's so bad, I'll ignore you," Lin Ruoyi blushed when she heard this, stood up and was about to leave.

"Okay, okay, you listen to my brother first," Lin Zichang's head was big for a while, and he called his sister tonight to ask about Wei Zihan, and his sister's matter was just casually said, and the two were not inverted.

Seeing Lin Ruoyi biting her lips tightly and blushing with shame, Lin Zichang beckoned her to sit down first, and then said with a deep sigh, "I received a letter from my aunt two times ago, and she said ...... in the letter."

Seeing that her brother stopped when she said this, how could Lin Ruoyi not know what the letter said, her aunt wanted to rub her and her cousin since she was a child, but her brother refused on the grounds that she was young.

Thinking of my cousin, he was fine when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and proficient in everything, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, less than five days at home, and he still came back to withdraw money during the time at home these days.

"Hmph," Lin Ruoyi snorted lightly and asked, "What do you say, brother?" If you dare to agree, then I will ignore you for the rest of my life. ”

"I used to be able to use your young age as an excuse, but you are already in the year of the second uncle, the second uncle wants us to go to Jinling in a few days, and let the second uncle personally preside over the ceremony for you, and when the time comes, I will always find a husband for you," Lin Zichang sighed helplessly, although he is the patriarch, but not everything can be lived by himself, the second uncle's letter he only said half, in the future, he wanted to give Lin Ruoyi to one of the two princes as a side concubine, but Lin Zichang knew what kind of birds those two birds were, so he directly refused.

Lin Ruoyi's face turned pale, Miss Lin family's daughter can do whatever she wants, but if she marries someone else, can she be so free? If you marry someone like your cousin, wouldn't it be better to live than to die.

"Brother, if I ...... in the future, I will choose my own husband in the future," Lin Ruoyi said with difficulty.

"Okay, my brother promised you," Lin Zichang said happily.

"Huh?"

Lin Ruoyi suddenly couldn't believe it, she thought it would attract her brother's anger, as a child of the family, who can make her own decisions about marriage? Women are used to marry, to fight for the benefit of their family, or to exchange benefits.

Looking at his sister's incredulous gaze, Lin Zichang felt funny in his heart, and he said again, "Before my mother died, in addition to letting me take care of Zihan, she couldn't rest assured of you, I said before she died, I will definitely make you happy for a lifetime, my brother promised you, as long as the husband you are looking for is not crooked melons and cracked dates." ”

"Brother, you hate it," Lin Ruoyi said angrily.

"Okay, your matter is solved, brother will ask you again, what is the matter with Zihan and Zhao Wuregret?"

Lin Ruoyi knew that she couldn't hide this from her brother, and she had to know it sooner or later, she pondered for a while, and then told him the truth about the two of them, of course, most of them were good things about Zhao Wuregret, and after finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Zichang who was thinking about it worriedly.

"Brother, aren't you angry?" Lin Ruoyi asked cautiously.

"Isn't it strange that I'm not angry?" Lin Zichang said funny, "Maybe Zhao Wuregret is right, I have always regarded Zihan as my sister, I didn't think it through, it's just that the responsibility is to blame." ”

Lin Ruoyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was best if her brother could let go.

The two chatted for a while, Lin Ruoyi said goodbye and left, before leaving, Lin Zichang told her the news that he was going to Jinling to work, which made Lin Ruoyi sad again, and the hometown where she had lived for more than ten years was leaving again.

After Zhao Wuregret returned to his residence, he couldn't help but feel upset, he hated himself for being useless, and hurriedly washed up, and he began to do the actions in the nameless atlas again.

I don't know why, today's sixth action was succeeded by him in one go, I thought it would be a few more days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, Zhao Wuregret was thoughtful, he didn't expect this at all just now, he just held his breath, it was uncomfortable if he didn't attack, and he endured the pain no matter how painful it was.

It seems that I can't endure hardship, and I give up at a little pain, and I think I will do it in the future anyway, so I don't care.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuregret was ashamed for a while, he was really a good dragon of Ye Gong, so thinking about learning 'peerless martial arts', but he didn't want to suffer too much, how could there be such a good thing in this world.

So he didn't think much about it, and kept 'attacking' the seventh movement, not giving up even if he was sore, and doing the first six movements over and over again.

Each time he redid it, the seventh movement advanced by one point, and I don't know how many times he did it, but he finally couldn't hold back any longer, and when he was halfway through the seventh movement, he fell into a deep sleep.
