Chapter 605: Please Touch Your Shoulders!
In the face of this sudden qiÄ, Lin Hai was also caught off guard, he understood that since he came to this family, he was constantly changing the stubborn aristocratic thinking of all the family members, rushing into the twilight family, several times the family was on the verge of destruction to rebirth, Lin Hai knew that he had changed the family's ...... But I didn't expect this scene to happen.
When the family once rejected him, he was sure that he would bring the second-generation uncles who could not wash away the shame to the family, and they repented here. Led by Lin Wei, the three generations of children who questioned him at the beginning, Lin Jiang, Lin Delun and others, all knelt down on one knee in front of him to salute their allegiance.
When this qiÄ was so real, Lin Hai stood in place like this.
His heart seemed to be affected by an invisible thread, and in the face of the family members who were kneeling on one knee in front of him, he seemed to begin to understand why his mother would ask him not to abandon the family's entrustment in the first place......
Those who have unsolvable hatred are outsiders and enemies.
The one who can resolve misunderstandings and unite together to live and die together is the family.
Is it true for a small family, or for an empire?
"Please get up." Lin Hai spoke, he was a little confused about this, but everyone didn't move, and he repeated it again.
Lin Wei raised her hand to cover her face and sighed, "I should have guessed it a long time ago...... You don't understand this ritual...... The allegiance ceremony requires the person to touch the left shoulder of the person taking the oath in order for the ceremony to take effect, otherwise the ceremony will not be established. ā
Lin Hai looked at the people below who raised their heads and their eyes were dark, and saw the smiles on everyone's faces, which obviously confirmed Lin Wei's statement.
But Lin Hai wondered in his heart, can you not say this as if you are despising eating and grabbing a turtle who doesn't understand basic etiquette with your hands, but you are still kneeling in front of you, although your figure is really good......
"It's a gentleman's way to touch your shoulder." Lin Wei spoke.
He knelt on one knee in front of Lin Hai, a father half-kneeling in front of his own flesh and blood seemed to be inconsistent with some traditional rules, but at this moment, Lin Wei's face was pious, and there was no hesitation. This is allegiance and protection, and the dignity of the ordinary Father to the Son has no meaning here, this is a spirit that transcends this dignity.
Or maybe something deeper......
Even, as the head of the family, he swore allegiance to Lin Hai, what this means is self-evident.
However, there is no unwillingness on everyone's face, what Lin Hai has done, so that his illegitimate status can no longer be a restriction, and his merits to the family, how can he be vetoed by simple blood? Everyone who used to treat him differently by bloodline, at this moment, only had a face full of shame, this kind of former humiliation, it was difficult for them to make up for it with an apology, only in this way could they affirm what Lin Hai had done for the family.
Humans always like to sacralize a thing with some rituals that resemble commitment and body language to show its weight.
For a tricky man like Lin Hai, who grew up crawling around in the slums, this form of things has no meaning to him, and he doesn't even care about these things at all, these are just means that he can use to deceive other people's emotions at some point...... But at this moment, Lin Hai knew that this form was meaningful to the group of people in front of him.
There is such a weight that they would not hesitate to exchange their lives for.
Because they are a real bunch of monsters called "nobles". Monsters who are not understood by Lin Hai, he has been fighting against them since he entered this house, but at this moment, they need his acceptance and integration.
*********
"Please touch your shoulders as a salute!" Lin Nan spoke.
"Please touch your shoulders! We need your acceptance. Lin Wei raised her head, her long and slender eyebrows raised, "Or do you want me to keep this posture all the time?" ā
She was wearing a red dress with a gauze hem, her waist was lightly tied, her right knee was kneeling on the ground, and when she raised her head, her white neck and bare snow shoulders with suspenders were exposed, and her eyes contained a slight resentment.
If it was usual, Lin Hai would never feel that his hands were heavy, but at this moment, he felt that the hands he raised had a thousand pounds of weight, thinking that he was really stunned, and he seemed to be unconsciously contaminated with the formalized mountain of the so-called nobles.
But Lin Hai's expression at the moment was not frivolous, on the contrary, he was also a little solemn.
Things in this world are often like this, where there are no roads, there are more people walking, and roads are formed. Migratory birds that do not have any faith and only wish to wander the world, when they have more things on their bodies, they can no longer spread their wings and disappear into the sky.
Lin Hai's hand fell on Lin Wei's shoulder, and at that moment the earl's expression seemed to be relieved, and then he got up. Lin Hai's hand continued to fall, landing on Lin Weixue's shoulder behind her, and she could even feel the slippery touch, Lin Wei's red lips curved into a charming smile at the moment when she gently drooped, as if some fate was set at this moment.
It can't be changed.
She stood up, her red dress swayed gently by the wind, reflecting her red pupils, looking at Lin Hai's eyes. There is warmth, like fire.
Then Lin Hai's hands fell on Lin Nan, Lin Yuanshan, Lin Jiang, and Lin Hao...... On the shoulders of all the people, all the people who had been on one knee before got up and stood in large places as they had been at the beginning. Accompanied by the last person "My pleasure." After responding, he got up, and the ceremony was complete.
The expressions of everyone were completely different, there was an extra layer of relaxation compared to the previous solemnity, and there was less vigilance that had been fighting with each other for decades, and the faces of those elders showed a smile without a city for the first time, each elder looked at each other, they were close in childhood, and they were opposed in middle age, and now, as if they all saw each other's shoulders and backs when they were young.
Everyone suddenly sighed, "In the past, I thought that this family would not be able to support our generation, and the best result would be that we would split up, fall apart, and then live on that remote planet, old and dead. But now, it doesn't seem to be to that point, and when I go fishing in the future, it seems that someone is making noise next to me. ā
So there was a burst of laughter and scolding from each other, "Why don't we try to play squash, and I'll let you three more balls as before?" ā
"Fart! When have you ever won in this kind of arrogance? Don't act like a victorious general, okay? ā
While everyone was attacking each other, Lin Nan looked at Lin Hai and Lin Wei and sighed, "Our era is about to pass, and the world that belongs to their next generation is coming...... It's really not good to be old. ā
Between his words, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, and after staring strangely for a moment, someone spoke, "Otherwise, we will preside over it, and your marriage contract will go on as usual, and you will be combined into a couple!" Actually, it's really a good match...... In the future, a group of heirs will be born, and the Lin family will be prosperous!"
The two looked at each other for a moment, Lin Hai's clear eyes and Lin Wei's bright red pupils were on the same page, as if there was a thunder colliding with fire in the space, Lin Wei's cheeks were visible to the naked eye, and he suddenly turned his head, "I don't want to ...... Are you kidding! ā
Lin Hai was stunned for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile, "How can it be ......?"
Everyone knows that the two of them have strong personalities, and they are not reluctant, but the kind of ardent hope for the two of them is written on their faces. Lin Wei's eyes fell on the bitter smile that pulled up at the corner of Lin Hai's mouth, and the tone in the red pupils was slightly darkened.
********
"I think it's all the more time we should celebrate the Earl's promotion to the Senator, which means a jump in our family's ranking in the House of Commons......" Lynnanti yƬ.
Lin Wei's promotion to a member of the Senate is the latest resolution of the Ministerial Council of the House of Commons.
This also means that in the lower courtyard, their Lin family broke through the blockade of Luo Minglong's forces and Frank's forces, and behind the entire Lin family, there is the support of Milan Star Region and Qingyuan Academy, and at the same time, the snow wolf family has suffered repeated setbacks in Lin Hai's hands, Xu Teng and Lin Hai booby-trapped each other's mecha god of war, and Lin Hai was promoted to the rank of major in the Royal Young Knights. This qiÄ made the entire Lin family have great strength and was able to improve the ranking of the lower court.
"Let's put this matter on hold for the time being, there is one more important thing that is more important than our celebration......"
Lin Wei took an invitation letter from Donnahai's hand and faced Lin Hai, "This is an invitation to a party at Windsor Castle...... From the daughter of the Grand Duke of Norman, His Royal Highness Nolan. ā
"His Royal Highness Nolan is about to join the expeditionary force, and this time the invitations are all Imperial Young Elite officers...... Perhaps she was choosing an officer of her Guards Regiment, which was an extremely rare opportunity for all the young and strong officers who could receive an invitation, to go on the expedition with Her Royal Highness...... It would be a great honor to defeat Sipang! ā
Lin Wei's gaze, and the expectant eyes of the surrounding families, all converged on Lin Hai.
"If His Highness Nolan chooses you, this will be the greatest opportunity we will ever have! I think you can try your luck! ā
