Chapter 68: Awkward
Updated: 2013-06-10
In the past two days, the gossip about the Lin Stone Records in Pulan City has continued, and although the ordinary people who were originally poor and happy have only half understood it, they have also heard it with relish.
There is a small teahouse in the city, and there is a storyteller in the hall, who is now spitting on the hearsay rumors, and the words in the teahouse are in full swing, and the surrounding people are also fascinated, and even passers-by have come to eavesdrop a few words.
Listen carefully, but it was the story of the sale of stones in the Lin Mansion, but the first store was promised to the second owner, which led to a lawsuit. And the storyteller said very 'forced' true, enough to make people believe that it was true, and after hearing that the county magistrate later enforced the law impartially and punished the young master of the Lin family with 20 boards, the onlookers all applauded.
On the note in Lin Daimo's hand, it was exactly this matter, but it was limited to paper, but it told the general results without mentioning specific details. Fang Yuan was busy solving the recent incident, and it was difficult to get out for a while, so he sent this carrier pigeon to deliver the message.
After the carrier pigeon pecked the wheat grains on the table, he raised his head with a satisfied coo, Lu Mengjian had already been attracted by this arrogant cute thing, and he didn't notice the change in Lin Daimo at all, just lowered his head and teased the pigeon.
Lin Daimo held the note in his hand hard, and there were faint bruises on his forehead, he pondered for a long time, strode out of the room, and looked up at the sky.
At the beginning, Mrs. Lin used extremely vicious words to drive herself out of the house, and it was also at that time that he began to be convinced that he was not the Lin family, but after all, the other party had more than ten years of nurturing grace for him, and the most important thing was that the old man Lin, who has always been strict and merciful, treated himself even better than himself, he was not a ruthless and unrighteous person, seeing that the big stone was trampled like this since he was a child, his heart was like a knife, but even so, he could not do anything.
That day, Fang Yuan expressed his heart to Lin Daimo, and hoped to obtain Lin Daimo's consent, but after all, it was the Lin family's property, even if he was ruthless, how could he personally destroy the stone mark supported by his father, so he broke away from himself, but he was noncommittal. Today, when I really saw the news that Shiji was transferred, I couldn't help but be a little shocked.
As for the punishment suffered by Lin Daiyue for his unfaithfulness in his words, it was his own fault, but it did not make Lin Daimo worry about it, but the figure of Mrs. Lin appeared in Lin Daimo's mind in a panic, that 'woman' has always had a headache and pain, and I am afraid that she will have to be sick for a long time after this blow, thinking of this, Lin Daimo felt a little happy, but then his heart was shrouded in a 'gloom'.
"Father, you are in the sky, can you see everything that happened to the Lin family? If you know what you know, I hope to forgive Fang Yuan's trip, and Mo Er can't bear to be trampled in the hands of that 'woman'......" Lin Daimo closed his eyes and tried his best to press a stream of heat back into the depths of his eyes.
After several changes, Fang Yuan finally obtained the right to operate the Stone Record, and although Yuwen Yuwu was still serving in the Lin Mansion, he began to appear beside Fang Yuan without shying away from it. The three of them worked together to redecorate the Stone Record, and finally restored the original appearance of the Stone Record, although those old customers had lost a lot due to the changes some time ago, but Fang Yuan didn't care, as long as he continued to operate, sooner or later the Stone Record would return to the previous situation.
A month had passed, and after Fang Yuan had finished counting the things in the store, he suddenly realized that he hadn't visited Lin Daimo for a long time, so he temporarily bought some food cloth from the city, and informed Yuwen Yuwu, and the three of them drove back and forth to the secluded place.
Before he reached the 'door', he heard the sound of laughter in the courtyard, and the smoke of firewood faintly entering his nostrils, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel strange, there were no other residents around, and Mother Liu had always been extremely steady, as for Lin Daimo, even if Fang Yuan was killed, he would not believe that he would laugh with others.
So in the confusion, Fang Yuan put his ear close to the mouth of the 'door' and listened carefully, who expected that after a short time of eavesdropping, he heard the big 'door' creak and suddenly 'hole' opened, Fang Yuan was caught off guard, his body still maintained a posture of leaning forward, and before he could retract his strength, he could lie forward, just gnawing a big mouthful of dirt face down.
Before he got up, he heard someone in the courtyard clapping his hands and shouting, "Sister Dream is so 'awesome', she knocked the bad guy to the ground in one fell swoop!" ”
Fang Yuan raised his head dyingly, speechless tears flowed first, "Sister-in-law, it's my ......"
"Ahhh, it's actually Fang Gongzi," Lu Mengjian originally wanted to catch the person who was eavesdropping outside, but who expected to catch his own person, and also caused Fang Yuan to lie on the ground with a gray face and couldn't get up, he felt deeply ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Fang Yuan up, and whispered softly in his mouth: "Fang Gongzi, we already feel deeply honored that you are here, why do you still make such a big gift when we meet!" ”
"......" Fang Yuan was already extremely speechless, but now when he heard his sister-in-law say it, he was even more speechless, so he had to try his best to squeeze out a smile from his face full of mud, spit out the grains of sand in his mouth, and said with difficulty, "Sister-in-law, let me wash my face first......
Only then did he turn his face to see a boy with a delicate face standing in the courtyard, who was staring at Lu Mengjian with a smile at the moment, and there was a 'woman' sitting in front of the strangely shaped stove not far away, who was also turning his head to look at the big 'door'.
Fang Yuan didn't care about anything else, he hurriedly brought a basin of clean water and carefully cleaned his head and face, only then did he notice that the lady in front of the stove was actually Aunt Li who was in Shita Village before. Although he had brought Aunt Li's mother and son to this place once, the distance was extremely detouring, so he only thought that the 'woman' Taoist family couldn't remember the road, and he didn't say much, but who knew that today he saw her in the small courtyard again, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
And Zhong'er was already laughing and pulling Lu Mengjian's hand, his eyes looked straight at Lu Mengjian's face, and he kept saying something in his mouth, Lu Mengjian slowly walked up to Fang Yuan and sent Zhong'er aside, only then did he look at Fang Yuan's red and swollen lips with an apologetic face, and before he had time to apologize, he burst out laughing. Fang Yuan's two red and swollen lips really resembled Ouyang's sausage mouth in "East Evil and West Poison", plus his mouth itself covered a large area, which was even more vivid.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it because my face hasn't been washed yet?" Fang Yuan's expression was uncertain, but for the sake of the other party being Mrs. Lin Daimo, he still suppressed his anger and did not dare to 'revve' his dissatisfaction.
Lu Mengjian knew that he was rude, so he hurriedly restrained himself and calmed down, and then suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, determined not to look at Fang Yuan's lips, and apologized to Fang Yuan with a strange look, just as Lin Daimo appeared at the right time, which resolved a nameless embarrassment.
"I heard a commotion outside in the house, but what's new?" Lin Daimo 'touched' Zhong''er's head with a smile from the corner of his eyes, and only realized Fang Yuan's existence in the direction of Zhong'er's eyes. Lin Daimo stood silently in place for a while, and then walked to Fang Yuan with an indifferent expression, and greeted politely: "You are here." ”
"Less...... Big brother, "Fang Yuan hadn't noticed the change in Lin Daimo's attitude towards himself, although he was cold to people in the past, he had never been as chilling as he is now, his body unconsciously leaned back, and he wanted to say another greeting, but he couldn't make a sound.
"You guys talk," Lu Mengjian also sensed that something was wrong between the two, since the last time Fang Yuan sent a flying pigeon message, he had never appeared in the small courtyard again, but today he suddenly reappeared, and Lin Daimo was not as kind to him as before, could it be that there was a conflict between the two, or Lin Daimo hated Fang Yuan for not coming to visit him?
In the midst of the 'chaotic' conjecture in her heart, Lu Mengjian suddenly remembered that she had suspected that Lin Daimo didn't like 'women', and she had been left behind these days, but when she saw this strange situation today, she actually thought about it again, and she felt an irrepressible excitement when she thought of this.
No matter how bad she was, she was also a rotten 'woman' who half-entered the 'door', and this kind of plot often only appeared in crookedness, and she didn't expect to be hit by such good luck as herself, so she had enough thoughts of watching a good show, she slowly withdrew two meters away, squatted on the ground and blocked the ant nest with Zhong'er, but she bracked her ears and wanted to get some information from the conversation between the two, and maybe it could be used as evidence to threaten Lin Daimo in the future.
But who knew that the two of them seemed to have taken root under their feet, but they just stood still and did not speak. Lin Daimo crossed his arms in his arms, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he looked at Fang Yuan scrutinically. Fang Yuan, on the other hand, stood quietly with his head down, just like when he had been reading with Young Master Lin at the beginning, he didn't dare to make any other sound except for the sound of heavy breathing.
Just when even Lu Mengjian felt that the two of them were bored, he heard the sound of horses neighing outside the courtyard 'door', Lu Mengjian didn't dare to be presumptuous this time, and walked to the 'door' to ask the name and surname of the person who came before slowly opening the courtyard 'door', it was the two brothers of Yuwen Yuwu who Shanshan was late, only to see a cart of goods on the carriage outside the 'door', and there were several 'flower' seedlings and bulbs with green shoots, Lu Mengjian couldn't help but see the 'flowers' blooming, and he had long forgotten the information that he had just 'wanted' to cheat, and he took the handle to move those goods to his home.
And Lin Daimo seemed to have taken the wrong 'medicine' today, and he also had a trace of coldness towards the two brothers of Yuwen Yuwu, although he no longer deliberately stood in front of Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan still had an expression of doing something wrong, Yuwen Yuwu saw it, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, they had long expected that Lin Daimo would have a pimple in his heart, but if they missed the opportunity to retaliate, they really didn't know how to get justice for their young master.
So Yuwen Yuwu glanced at each other, stepped forward stubbornly, and said in unison, "Big brother, how are you doing recently?" ”
"Okay," Lin Daimo coldly squeezed out a word, unwilling to look at these three people a few more times, then twisted his head away, he seemed to have an unsolvable knot in his heart, after seeing these people, more and more tangled messy', cut and untidy and 'messy', he couldn't wait to beat himself hard, and then throw himself into an unknown ravine, and no longer think about those worldly disputes.
But he couldn't do it, after all, the stone record was preserved by them.
