Chapter 26: Marriage Proposal
In the cold winter night, Lin Feng and Chen Desheng hurried forward, and the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers continued to sound in all directions of Jinling City, reminding them that it was Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve now.
Every festive season, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of his family before the crossing! However, he immediately suppressed this idea and deliberately joked with Chen Desheng.
Seeing the red lanterns hanging high in front of Situ's Mansion and the bright red Spring Festival couplets from a distance, Lin Feng turned around and asked Chen Desheng to go back to his house first, take a good rest, and he would rush over as soon as possible.
Seeing Chen Desheng go away, Lin Feng took a few deep breaths, slowed down, walked to the gate, and greeted the guards with fists.
"Lord Lin? How did you get here? Young master, they are all keeping the New Year, and I will go to Tongyu immediately. One of the guards immediately recognized Lin Feng and turned around and rushed towards the mansion.
Today, what we call the "Spring Festival", from the Tang Dynasty is called "Yuan Zheng" (also known as New Year's Day, Yuan Day), according to the calendar at that time, Yuan Zheng is the beginning of the year, "Zheng" has the meaning of removing the old cloth and the new, and everything starts over. On the eve of the Yuan Zheng, there is also an important day, the "New Year's Eve" (also known as "New Year's Eve"), which is known today as Chinese New Year's Eve. On Chinese New Year's Eve, people stay up all night until the dawn of the Yuan Zheng Day, and welcome the arrival of the New Year in noisy joy, which is a custom that has been handed down since the Tang Dynasty.
While waiting, Lin Feng noticed a trace of abnormality, the guard who was chatting with him was enthusiastic, but his eyes clearly had a feeling of avoiding Lin Feng.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhou Ming, the eldest of the Zhou family, and the third Zhou to hurry over, and Lin Feng immediately hugged his fists and said, "Two Brother Zhou, I wish you a good New Year in advance!" ”
Zhou Jing rushed over and hugged Lin Feng fiercely. Lin Feng also vigorously returned a bear hug.
Zhou Ming hugged his fists and smiled: "Brother Lin has been gone for a few months, and he misses him very much. At this moment, I have already sent someone to wake up my father, let's go directly to the study. ”
Lin Feng naturally happily obeyed his fate and walked to the study.
The huge Zhou Mansion was full of red lanterns at this time, and groups of servants were interspersed in the mansion, all busy, not at all like the night when it was approaching.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Feng raised a small jade horse above his head, knelt down directly towards Zhou Zong, who was leaning on the big chair, and said loudly: "Lin Feng got the help of Lord Situ, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life and returned successfully!" ”
The jade horse is the token that Zhou Zong gave to Lin Feng to contact Huang Zongwang, the richest man in Chu State. Before returning from the Chu State, Lin Feng specially borrowed it from Huang Zongwang.
Zhou Zong, who was getting thinner and thinner, looked at the little jade horse, and then at Lin Feng, who looked a little haggard, his face was full of relief, and he said softly: "It's hard work!" Hurry up and tell the old man about your experience in the past few months! ”
Lin Feng got up gently, moved a chair, sat down next to the boss, and briefly told him about his itinerary in the past few months, and he didn't even hide the matter of going north and south when he saw the saint just now. In the middle of this, the second son, Zhou Chu, also rushed over and listened to Lin Feng's "Westward Journey" together.
Zhou Zong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept looking at Lin Feng kindly, and asked some details of the matter from time to time, especially the matter of the Yihan Alliance, which was particularly detailed.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Zhou Zong looked at Lin Feng with great satisfaction, shook his head lightly and said: "You have done it in such a short time, it is really impressive, it is really terrifying!" ”
The three brothers of Zhou Ming all looked at Lin Feng with admiration and envy, everyone was about the same age, look at others, starting from scratch, what feats they have made in a few months.
Lin Feng got up again, knelt down solemnly, and said loudly, "Lord Situ, the kid has returned safely." Now, according to the appointment before leaving, I have the courage to ask Lord Situ to propose the sister of Emperor E! ”
As soon as he said a word, the expressions of the three brothers Zhou Ming immediately changed. Zhou was the most anxious, and shouted loudly: "Father! Cannot! ”
Zhou Zong glared at Zhou Chu fiercely, and when he looked at Lin Feng again, his eyes had become very soft, he reached out and touched Lin Feng's somewhat messy hair, and said softly: "If you have a good son-in-law, what more can you ask for!" The old man agreed, please get up! ”
"Father, that Zheng ......" Zhou was so anxious that he shouted loudly beside him.
"Get out! Keep me in the New Year! Zhou Zong was furious and shouted loudly, directly interrupting Zhou's words.
Zhou Shi glanced at Lin Feng angrily, stomped his feet, and went away hatefully.
Lin Feng was a little inexplicable, and then respectfully kowtowed to Zhou Zong three times, and got up to bow to Zhou Ming and Zhou Jing. Zhou Ming clearly wanted to dodge, but stopped halfway, Zhou actually looked at Lin Feng, and stopped talking.
The doubts in Lin Feng's heart became even heavier.
"Okay, we're a family now! Feng'er, go and see Emperor E, she's lost a lot of weight this time! Zhou Zong opened his mouth to break the embarrassment.
Lin Feng didn't care about the doubts in his heart, saluted them again, turned around and ran towards Emperor Zhou E's small courtyard.
Closer, closer, seeing the small courtyard where he dreamed of night, Lin Feng's footsteps couldn't help but slow down. Maybe it was because the family was more timid, when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Feng raised his hand, but he suddenly didn't dare to knock.
"Miss, it must be the third young master who is here!" In the courtyard, I only heard a shout from Yahuan Xiaomei, and the door opened, revealing Xiaomei's pretty face.
Seeing Lin Feng, Xiaomei screamed violently, and her voice suddenly raised an octave: "Lord Lin!" Miss, it's Lord Lin who is back! ”
As soon as Xiaomei's voice fell, a red shadow ran over quickly, crashed straight into Lin Feng's arms, and hugged him fiercely. Xiaomei and Xiaocui hurriedly laughed and ran away.
Emperor Zhou E's delicate and eager voice sounded in Lin Feng's ears: "Such a ruthless Brother Lin, it's been a hundred and one days, and I don't even have a message!" I hate you to death! A hot face pressed against Lin Feng's neck, and a pair of teeth bit Lin Feng's shoulder fiercely.
The tears dripping on his neck and the burning pain of the wound on his shoulder immediately inspired Lin Feng's long-suppressed love and longing, he groaned, and pressed his face that had already shed tears to Zhou Ehuang's face, and kept shouting: "Emperor E, Emperor E......"
A pair of trembling cherry lips moved over and pressed tightly against Lin Feng's lips, Lin Feng's body shook, hugged her tighter, and kissed back fiercely.
It wasn't until the two of them couldn't breathe anymore that Lin Feng reluctantly removed his lips and said hurriedly: "Emperor E, I have already asked Lord Situ for a kiss just now, and he has already agreed!" Are you willing to marry me, a poor boy? ”
Emperor Zhou E's body trembled, and the tears that had just stopped couldn't help but flow down again, and he muttered in his mouth: "Brother Lin, Emperor E is willing!" Emperor E is willing! ”
Lin Feng burst out with passion, kissed Emperor Zhou E, and walked towards the house.
With the sound of firecrackers in the city, Lin Feng and Emperor Zhou E, who was as soft as water, lingered on the embroidery, pouring out their thoughts to each other, and in the trembling and tears, the minds and bodies of the two successfully merged.
Today *** overflowing, tonight should have been sleepless!
