in the living room.

Lin Yuangui rarely lit a cigarette, and after the two sisters sat down opposite, Lin Yufei slapped his nose and said angrily: "Dad, you smoke at home, and Mom will be criticized again when she sees you." ”

Lin Yuangui shook his head slowly: "Your mother is sleeping." ”

"So early, wasn't she chasing a middle-aged women's drama recently?"

"I gave her two sleeping pills."

The two sisters were slightly surprised, and Lin Yuangui glanced at them: "I have something important to talk to you about, I can't let Huifang hear about it, and you must hide it from her." ”

The two sisters glanced at each other, their expressions were more serious, and Lin Yuxin said, "Dad, what's the matter." ”

"The assessment of the Lin family in the provincial capital."

Lin Yuangui pondered for a moment and said: "The last assessment was more than eight years, according to the normal ten years, there should be more than a year, this time I don't know why it was advanced, there are some things I can only let you know in advance." ”

"Actually, Qingshi is a branch of the Lin family in the provincial capital, and the Lin family in the provincial city is not a direct line, but a branch of the Lin family in Kyoto, the assessment once every ten years is set by the Lin family in Kyoto, this time more than a year in advance, it must be the decision of the Lin family in Kyoto, the specific reason is not clear to me."

"The children of the Lin family who are assessed and selected are nothing more than three categories, the first business talent, the second special talent, and the third martial artist, among which the martial artist is the most valued, the special talent is second, and the business talent is the last."

"If one of the Qingshi Lin family is selected through the assessment and signs a contract for more than five years, the Qingshi Lin family can get a rich reward, if there are two of them, the reward will be doubled, which is why the old lady will attach so much importance to it."

"When the people who are selected by the four families enter the provincial city Lin family, the fast is one or two months, and the slow is at most half a year, and the provincial city Lin family will face the assessment of the Kyoto Lin family, and one person will be selected through the assessment and sign a contract for more than five years, and the provincial Lin family will receive a rich reward from the Kyoto Lin family, in my estimation, it will be more than ten times higher than the reward of the provincial Lin family to the family."

"Yes, the assessment once every ten years, the branches of the Lin family in all provinces across the country, the branches of the branches, will respond positively."

Seeing Lin Yufei's appearance of opening his mouth to interject, Lin Yuangui raised his hand: "Don't interrupt me, listen patiently to what I say in one breath." ”

Then, he continued: "What I said above is to let you have a general understanding of the real Lin family and the annual assessment once every ten years, and what I am talking about next is something that is closely related to you." ”

After taking a puff of cigarette, Lin Yuangui's face darkened, and his tone became lower: "You know, I am the illegitimate son of the old man, what your grandmother looks like, even I have never seen it, but the old man told me that your grandmother is a descendant of a big family, and her status is extremely high, even if the old man passed the Lin family's ten-year assessment and signed a ten-year contract with the Lin family in the provincial capital, he is not worthy of your grandmother." ”

"And the reason why I haven't returned to the Lin family in Qingshi is not because the old man doesn't accept it, but because of your grandmother, according to the old man, the old man and your grandmother's family had a secret agreement, and my identity as an illegitimate child cannot be exposed, until the agreement expires, our family returned to the Lin family in Qingshi."

"Because of this, I also missed the previous two Lin family assessments, but in fact, I am qualified to pass the assessment, and I may even be selected by the Kyoto Lin family, because the martial arts assessment is not only based on the current martial arts level, but more importantly, talent, this talent is inherited through genes, and it can be detected by testing the bloodline, and generally women will not appear until the end of puberty, after the age of sixteen or seventeen, and after the age of eighteen or even twenty for men."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuangui glanced at the two sisters deeply, especially Lin Yuxin, and his gaze stayed on the latter for two seconds, before he said: "If my estimate is good, you two have a great hope of passing the bloodline test and being selected by the Lin family in the provincial capital." ”

The two sisters were full of consternation, they didn't say that they were powerless, but they were no different from girls of the same age, and even in terms of image, they were still relatively weak, but listen to their father's meaning, the two of them have a high martial arts talent, how is this possible, how ridiculous!

Lin Yuangui looked at their faces in his eyes, his face was as deep as the sea, and he said slowly: "Before the martial arts talent is presented, it will not be any different from ordinary people, even after it is presented, if you don't take the road of martial arts, you will not become a martial artist, this is like a person with running talent, if he does not carry out professional training, at most he will run faster than ordinary people, but he will definitely not become a professional athlete, the reason is the same." ”

After that, the conversation changed: "The reason why I am so sure is because you two sisters have hardly been sick since childhood. ”

Hearing Lin Yuangui say this, Lin Yuxin looked thoughtful, thinking about it, since she can remember, she has never been to the hospital, it is rare to feel a little uncomfortable, and it is good to sleep, and then look at Lin Yufei, who was silent, as if it was a kind of acquiescence.

Lin Yuangui said again: "Frankly speaking, no matter how talented you are, with the conditions of our family, and even the conditions of the Lin family in Qingshi, it is not enough to support you to take the path of martial arts, only the provincial city Lin family can provide you with enough resources." ”

"Yes, I hope you can make good use of the opportunity of this assessment, this is not only a major opportunity in your life, but also an opportunity for our family and the Qingshi Lin family, the old man's greatest wish on his deathbed is that one day, the Qingshi Lin family can surpass the quasi-first line of the year, and rank among the first-line of the Qingshi City."

Lin Yufei was originally eager to get ahead, although her father said that she had a good talent in martial arts, she was still skeptical, but if that was the case, she naturally wanted to seize this opportunity, and immediately nodded yes.

Lin Yuxin didn't say it immediately, thought for a while, and asked, "Dad, if I pass the assessment and am selected, will the Lin family in the provincial city interfere in my personal affairs?" ”

Lin Yuxin has been in the society for a few years, and he also understands some things within the big family, the terms and conditions in the contract are on the surface, and there are some rules that do not leave paper, which will also form constraints, such as marriage, and for example, the unspoken rules of communication...

"No, you are selected through the assessment, you are only included in the provincial city Lin family system, which is equivalent to a temporary household registration during the contract period, and after the contract expires, you will still return to the Qingshi Lin family."

Lin Yuangui shook his head categorically, and then his words changed: "However, unless you pass the assessment of the Lin family in Kyoto and go to the next level, during the contract period, you will be with all the children of the Lin family in the provincial capital, as well as the talent colleagues selected by the family, with the difference in vision, your positioning of yourself will definitely change." ”

After hesitating, he said: "Yuxin, originally you and Hong Chen made a three-year contract, just to consider that it could be terminated before the Lin family's assessment, but I didn't expect this assessment to be advanced, I think you should also carefully consider whether to break the marriage contract with Hong Chen in advance." ”

Lin Yu's heart suddenly changed color: "Why? ”

Lin Yuangui didn't notice Lin Yuxin's abnormality, and said bluntly: "You also know Hong Chen's situation, although he seems to have made some good friends recently, but his own level has not changed, if you maintain your marriage with him, it will become a drag on you, and even make you lose the opportunity to choose." ”

Seeing Lin Yuxin looking at himself in a daze, his expression was a little dazed, Lin Yuangui shook his head and sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll be more straightforward, entering the provincial city Lin family system, not saying how to get ahead, is to make a difference, in the upper reaches of the competition, just with your personal ability, even if you are strong, it is difficult to do it, at this time, you need someone to support you, and marriage is the best way, this is not a marriage imposed on you by the family, but your own needs." ”

Lin Yuxin didn't rush to deny it, nor did he affirm it, he was silent for a while, and suddenly his mouth pouted, overflowing with a slightly self-deprecating chuckle, Hong Chen dragged himself down?
