Chapter 38: The Temptation of Promotion
"What do you mean I don't want to marry you? Marriage is child's play, I'm not the kind of person you think you don't believe in. Kou Xiao said unhappily.
Lin Mai also frowned, "What do you call the kind of person I think?" Which ear did you hear me say that about you? Marriage is not child's play, don't I know better than you? If I were the kind of person who treats marriage as a child's play, will I become an older woman who hates to marry a young woman? ”
Seeing that Lin Mai was talking crazy words again, Kou Xiao said angrily: "You'd better not always say something I don't understand, I don't know what it means to be old and hate to marry a young woman, I just know that you don't look like a woman at all now." ”
"Huh, what does a woman look like? What's the matter, women have to follow three virtues and four virtues? I've not believed in this since I was three years old! Lin Mai sneered.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the smell of gunpowder between the two of them is like this, which makes Kou Xiao, who is tired of dealing with the pursuit and killing of the enemy, quite uncomfortable.
He sighed helplessly and said, "We don't have to be so tense when we meet, I know you're worried about my body." ”
"Don't be like this, it's really unnecessary, you're so right, I'm just worried that no one will support me when you die, I'm too dependent on you, okay?"
After speaking, Lin Mai snatched the door and left.
She knew she didn't speak well, but Kou Xiao saw her concern for him as a malicious dependence on the premise of exploitation, which really hurt her self-esteem.
Seeing that Lin Mai didn't give himself room to reply, he held his breath in Kou Xiao's throat, couldn't spit out and couldn't swallow, and he knocked over the teacup in his hand to the ground in anger.
As the cup fell to the ground and fell apart, Mama Song outside hurriedly came in, for fear that Kou Xiao would hurt her hand by broken porcelain.
Seeing Lin Mai running out with a black face, Beihu immediately caught up with him and said, "The young lady stays, the master doesn't take the detoxification seriously." ”
"I beg you, don't call me that in the future, okay? I'm just engaged to your master, and we can cancel the engagement at any time, okay? ”
Lin Mai poured his anger on Beihu.
Beihu will not worry about Lin Mai, but he will not continue to explain anything for Kou Xiao.
He has been following Kou Xiao for so long, and he knows very well what kind of person Kou Xiao is, so he is not worried at all that Kou Xiao will really regret this marriage as Lin Mai said.
But Beihu doesn't guarantee that Lin Wheat will make any unbelievable decisions, after all, even a delicate and experienced person like Beihu can't understand Lin Mai.
This little woman is clearly only thirteen years old, but sometimes she is not mature.
"My subordinates will send you back." Kitado said.
"You!" Lin Mai rolled her eyes and didn't know what to say, she didn't really want to go back yet.
But since they are all on this board, Lin Mai can only leave first.
In the house, Kou Xiao didn't go out to send Lin Mai, and he also regretted that he shouldn't have followed Lin Mai's words to make the atmosphere so embarrassing.
Kou Xiao has been better protected by his mother since he was a child, although he is not required much, but the home is heavily guarded, and Kou Xiao rarely has access to children of the same age.
Naturally, he hadn't seen many women, and he had no experience in the affairs of men and women.
This kind of thing is not easy to ask others for advice, and you can't analyze and summarize the knowledge learned in books, you can only take one step at a time.
The only thing Kou Xiao is more certain about is that he seems to care more and more about Lin Mai's opinion of him, no matter what she says in the past, Kou Xiao will accept it with curiosity.
Now Kou Xiao unexpectedly found that she longed for Lin Mai's understanding, longing for her to be as gentle and generous and empathetic as her mother.
Thinking of this, Kou Xiao smiled bitterly, sure enough, he was still not strong enough, and he would panic every time he encountered an enemy chasing after him.
After all, it can be seen from the other party's ruthless and murderous posture that the forces behind them are very powerful.
After Lin Changde returned to the county seat, he passed by the mansion purchased by Kou Xiao, and was hit by his pride by the magnificent face.
This kid has repeatedly put the Lin family in an embarrassment, thinking that he can put others at the mercy of others with a little stinky money.
Lin Changde won't eat his set, after all, he is also a person who has seen the world, so he won't nod his head and change his position casually for a little favor.
Lin Changde wants power more than money, so his standard for making friends in the county is that he would rather be close to poor officials than rich people.
Whoever can bring him the opportunity to rise, he will be the leader of the horse.
After arriving at the Yamen, Lin Changde was called to his side by Mr. Ledger, and there was a man with a knife in his smile.
When Lin Changde saw this man for the first time, he had a bad premonition in his heart, but since he was the person recommended by Mr. Bookkeeper, he must be a powerful person.
After all, Mr. Bookkeeper knows too well Lin Changde's dream of wanting to turn over with power.
"Changde, this is Lord Lang Shi Fanglang, who is an official in Los Angeles, and this time he came to us in the countryside to select usable materials. The first person that comes to mind of our county government master is you, as for whether you can do it, it depends on your own performance. ”
After Mr. Bookkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and left the room, leaving Lin Changde and Lang Shifang alone in the house.
L.a.! That's a company with countless dignitaries and dignitaries!
Lin Changde's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly smiled and greeted this Lord Lang, and Lang Shifang also waved his hand in a friendly manner, so that Lin Changde did not have to be formal.
After a brief greeting between the two, Lang Shifang suddenly asked, "Do you know a young man named Kou Xiao?" ”
"Kou Xiao? My niece's future husband is called Kou Xiao, Shangguan can't be talking about the same person, right? ”
Lin Changde didn't know why Lang Shifang talked about Kou Xiao, although he hoped that the two were not talking about one person, but there should not be a second person with the name Kou Xiao.
He guessed that it was not good for Lang Shifang to mention Kou Xiaozhun, so Lin Changde didn't want to let himself have a relationship with Kou Xiao.
"There aren't many people with the surname Kou in the world, Lord Lin, we're talking about the same person." Lang Shifang said.
Lin Changde, who was called by Lord Lin, was overjoyed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Lord Lang is too exalted to me, what kind of adult am I, but I am just a grass people." ”
"No, as long as you can pass my test, I will transfer you to Los Angeles to be an official, and you will become Lord Lin sooner or later."
Lang Shifang's words were very tempting to Lin Changde, he swallowed his saliva and said:
"Yes, I know the Kou Xiao you mentioned, he is the future husband of my second brother's daughter, the two just held an engagement banquet a few days ago, what is the matter with Lord Lang looking for him? His place is not far from here, and if you want to see him, I can show you the way. ”
"It's not necessary, I'm not familiar with this Kou Gongzi, but there is a bit of a grudge between my master and him." Lang Shifang said.
