Chapter 1 The corrupt official Li Changgeng wore it
Hecheng, Beixi Villa Villa Area.
Dozens of luxury villas are nestled in green hills and green waters.
In stark contrast to the wealth at this glance, it was Li Muchen who stood outside the gate of the villa.
He wore a coarse linen robe, a pair of gray cloth shoes under his feet, and his long hair was tied up and pinned with a wooden hairpin, so that he could escape from a poor Taoist priest.
The security guards of the villa watched him vigilantly like a thief.
Li Muchen is here to withdraw from the marriage.
The marriage contract was made by his grandfather and the old man of the Lin family eighteen years ago, and he didn't know the specific reason, he was only two years old at that time, and the eldest lady of the Lin family had not yet been born.
Li Muchen didn't know how his grandfather fooled the old man of the Lin family back then.
When he was seven years old, his grandfather, who had never left Hecheng, suddenly said that he was going to go on a long trip.
When you walk, it's early autumn, and the mountains are full of autumn leaves.
When I came back, it was the wax moon, and it was snowing heavily.
Remember the URL
When he got home, Grandpa only had his last breath left.
With a smile on his wrinkled face, he died in Li Muchen's immature arms.
Later, he was taken to Tiandu Peak of Kunlun Mountain by Yunyangzi, a passing Kunlun immortal.
More than ten years have passed, and now he has long been reborn, only one step away from stepping into the innate and moving towards the path of immortality and long-term vision.
Master said that if he entered the innate at this age, he would be the first person in 500 years.
Then go down the mountain to experience and go to the red dust to find an opportunity to break through the innate nature.
Master also said that immortals live in the mountains, not because the mountains are good.
It's red dust, ecstasy, and bones.
When he returned to Hecheng, the first thing Li Muchen did was to go to the Lin family to withdraw from the marriage.
Although the Lin family is a wealthy man, but a dignified disciple of Tiandu, under the Ten Thousand Immortals, An Neng bends his waist and is willing to be the son-in-law of a wealthy family?
What's more, this kind of thing is too feudal and old-fashioned.
In the prime of life, being bound by a marriage contract and waiting for someone who has never met before, it is unfair to both parties.
So Li Muchen decided to withdraw the marriage.
If you retreat, it can be regarded as a fate, and from then on, your Dao heart will be firm, and you may have broken through.
Of course, Li Muchen is also worried, what if people refuse to retreat?
After all, it has been 18 years for the family.
Eighteen years ago, you didn't refuse, eighteen years have passed, other people's daughters have grown up, and you suddenly said that you want to withdraw from the marriage, which seems a little unreasonable.
The marriage contract has the address of the Lin family, but only Nord Stream Villa is written, not the specific one.
Li Muchen stepped forward to ask the security guard: "Big brother, is there an owner surnamed Lin here?" ”
"Surname Lin?" The security guard looked him up and down a few times, "What are you looking for the surname Lin?" ”
"Oh, I'm here to find a relative." Li Muchen said.
"Relatives?"
There was a hint of disdain in the security guard's eyes, he had seen too many poor people come here to find relatives.
The young man in front of him, his clothes were torn, his hair was messy, the Taoist priest was not like a Taoist priest, and the beggar was not like a beggar.
"The people who live here are all surnamed Lin, so you can say which one you are looking for."
The security guard had a playful tone in his tone, as if to say, it depends on who you know.
"All surnamed Lin?"
Li Muchen couldn't help but be surprised, could it be the Lin family's house?
I heard that the Lin family was rich, but I didn't expect it to be so rich.
"I'm looking for Lin Shangyi."
"Let's go!" The security guard suddenly became fierce and made a look of dispersion. "You've heard the name, do you know who he is? The old man of the Lin family is what you saw casually? ”
Li Muchen was not afraid, and said calmly: "My name is Li Muchen, you can call Lin Shangyi to find out." ”
Seeing his calm and relaxed appearance, the security guard was a little unsure, if it was really a relative of Old Man Lin, he couldn't afford to offend.
After saying "Wait", he turned around and went to the security room to make a call.
Li Muchen looked at the villas in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, it's really a good place, and it is one of the best feng shui treasures in Hecheng.
Whether it is the location or the staggered layout, it looks like there is a master who has pointed out.
Hey, what's that?
Li Muchen looked up and saw that above the villa group, there was a dark cloud as light as a thin veil, which could not be dispersed.
It was a clear sky, and it was clearly not a normal cloud. Although it is very light, ordinary people will not think it is abnormal, but where can they escape Li Muchen's eyes.
Dark clouds cover the top!
This family seems to have been calculated.
Do you want to tell them?
When Li Muchen was thinking about it, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties came out.
When the security guard saw someone coming, he nodded and ran over.
"Steward Luo," he said, pointing at Li Muchen, "it's him." ”
Steward Luo glanced at Li Muchen up and down a few times, with seven points of doubt and three points of disdain in his eyes.
"Your name is Li Muchen?"
"Yes."
"Come with me."
Steward Luo didn't say anything more, and led Li Muchen inside.
The security guard looked at their backs and shook his head, muttering, "It's a good fate, why don't I have such rich relatives." ”
Shuttling through the garden of the Lin family's villa, Li Muchen was even more sure that the Lin family was being targeted.
The feng shui pattern here has not changed, but the earth qi has been disturbed.
The Lin family's luck will definitely be affected, and everything is probably not going well during this time.
He glanced up at the dark clouds in the sky.
Steward Luo took him into one of the villas, which was richly decorated, and on the sofa in the living room sat a graceful and luxurious woman, well maintained, and could not tell how old she was.
Steward Luo said, "Madam, someone has brought," and stood aside respectfully.
The woman glanced at Li Muchen a few times, her eyes were a little complicated. She picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip on the side of her mouth, as if she wanted to use the fragrance of tea to remove the bad luck brought by the shabby young man in front of her.
"You are Li Muchen?" The woman asked faintly.
"Yes."
"From the mountains?"
"Yes."
Li Muchen answered two "yes" in a row, and seeing that people still didn't mean to invite him to sit, he walked to the antique wooden chair next to him and sat down with a big grin.
He is here to get out of the marriage, not to propose.
Steward Luo's eyes were clear, that chair was special, even he never dared to sit on it, so he was about to scold, but was stopped by the woman.
"Forget it, the kid who just came from the mountains doesn't know the rules." The woman smiled, but the disdain in her eyes increased.
"I'm looking for Mr. Lin Shangyi." Li Muchen didn't want to talk nonsense, hurry up and make it clear to the old man before leaving.
"The old man is not something you can see if you want to see it, if there is anything, tell me. You can call me Mrs. Lin. The woman identified herself.
"Tell you?"
Li Muchen was a little embarrassed, he was originally going to see Old Man Lin, but he was suddenly replaced by Mrs. Lin.
This lady is definitely not Lin Shangyi's wife, that is, Lin Shangyi's daughter-in-law.
Before the marriage contract was abolished, it meant that sitting opposite was his mother-in-law.
His embarrassed look fell in Mrs. Lin's eyes.
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "You feel embarrassed too, don't you?" ”
Li Muchen nodded honestly: "It's a little." ”
Mrs. Lin smiled even more proudly, "You also feel embarrassed to open this mouth, you think it's too much, right?" ”
"Hmm." Li Muchen was a little confused, "Do you know what I'm here for?" ”
"Of course I do." Mrs. Lin sighed softly, "Li Muchen, this name was rooted in my heart eighteen years ago, like a thorn, how could I forget." ”
Li Muchen thought to himself that this was troublesome, it seems that people attach great importance to this marriage.
"That, what, I'll ......" Li Muchen tried to phrase it, wanting to resolve the embarrassment that might arise next.
"There's no need to rush." Mrs. Lin interrupted him, "You just came from the mountains, let me tell you about the situation of our Lin family first." ”
"The Lin family has been inherited for more than 100 years, and in terms of wealth and status, it can be regarded as one of the best families in Hecheng. Let's just say that the chair you are sitting on, the Ming Dynasty rosewood carved dragon pattern official hat chair, a few years ago, the Guardian Auction House auctioned a pair, the price is 23 million. ”
Mrs. Lin paused and deliberately glanced at Li Muchen, but she didn't see any shocked expression on Li Muchen's face, and she was slightly disappointed.
"This chair is specially prepared for the head of the Lin family, and over the years, you are the first 'outsider' to sit on this chair."
She deliberately put the word "outsider" more heavily to remind Li Muchen's identity.
"Do you see what I mean?"
Li Muchen nodded: "I understand, your Lin family is very rich." ”
Steward Luo, who was standing behind Mrs. Lin, almost laughed, this guy can't be a fool, right?
Mrs. Lin was slightly stunned, she didn't think Li Muchen was a fool, she was more likely to be pretending to be stupid.
The son-in-law of the Lin family, how many sons want to come to the door, so why not be stupid and stunned.
That's what smart people are.
"Then I'll be clearer."
Mrs. Lin raised her voice, and her voice became much harsher.
"A family like our Lin family, the marriage of the past generations has paid attention to the right family. For example, my family's surname is Yan, from Meicheng, and our Yan family is also one of the best families in Meicheng. The two families can take care of each other in business, and the husband and wife will have a common language and pursuit. ”
"Madame means ......" Li Muchen heard that something was wrong.
"I mean, the Lin family, it's impossible to marry their daughter to a poor man with no identity." Mrs. Lin's words were categorical and unquestionable, "Even if it's a debt, it's not good." ”
Li Muchen suddenly felt funny.
I'm here to get out of the marriage.
It looks like he was dismissed.
