Chapter 170: Circular Gaze
When Lin Wan returned to the lake with an awkward blushing face, Xia Jin, who was accustomed to observing words and colors, immediately felt her uncomfortable. If she is uncomfortable, it doesn't matter, Xia Jin is not familiar with her, this is the territory of the Lin family, Lin Yun and Lin Yu are here, she will naturally not have much trouble. However, why did Lin Wan's gaze keep glancing at Xia Qi?
Lin Yu also seemed to sense her sister's abnormality, turned her head to look at her, and asked her what was wrong with her eyes. Lin Wan was looked at by them, and her face was as red as the sunset on the horizon.
Seeing this, Lin Yu was about to ask her out loud, when she suddenly felt a sinking in her hand, and turned her head to see that the buoy on the water was gone, and the fishing line was pulled straight, obviously there was a fish on it, and looking at it like this, the fish was not small.
The first three sat together, and Xia Jin always caught fish. She has caught three or four fish, and the two sisters Lin Wan and Lin Yu have not moved. Lin Yu is still a child, very strong, and feels that fishing in her own territory will lose to others, and she loses so badly, her face is not good-looking. I was feeling uncomfortable, and when I saw a fish on the hook at this time, I didn't care about asking Lin Wan what to say, and shouted excitedly: "Ah, the fish is hooked, I'm catching a fish." ”
The few people who were quietly fishing looked at her.
The matter between Lin Wan and Xia Qi was facilitated by Lin Yun under Luo Qian's instigation, and he naturally knew what his parents were doing when they asked Lin Wan to go in. At this time, seeing Lin Yu shouting at all regardless of the image of a lady, he was worried that Xia Qilian had a bad impression of the upbringing of the women of the Lin family, so he hurriedly explained to him: "My little sister rarely comes here to play. I haven't caught a few fishes either. It's all the fuss when you see the fish now. Where the state is lost, look at Haihan. ”
Xia Qi thought to himself, where is this. Compared to his fierce sister. Either head or ears, the Lin family sisters are simply fairies in the sky, okay?
He smiled: "When you are happy, you cheer, human nature, without losing your innocence." When you encounter something that doesn't move, it's wood, what's the fun? ”
Hearing this, Lin Yun was very happy.
Xia Qi finished speaking. couldn't help but glance at Luo Qian, but saw Luo Qian's eyes suddenly wide. Looking at the other side, he seemed very worried.
Xia Qi turned his head to look, but there was a mess on the other side. Lin Yu was too happy, and she had no fishing experience. I don't know how to drag the fish in the lake slowly, and then lift it up when it has no strength. At this time, she lifted it vigorously, and the fish in the lake were lifted out of the water and jumped straight on the surface of the water. Lin Yu panicked, for fear that it would jump into the water again, so she threw the fish to the shore and threw it on Xia Jin's head. Xia Jin hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, but he didn't want the fish to be swung by inertia, so he drew an arc in the air. Swing back to her. This time it's not on the head, it's on the face and neck. The tail of the fish is still "snapping" in the air, if it touches Xia Jin. There is a high chance that the fish bones will scratch Xia Jin's face.
Xia Qi's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He was about to make a reminder, when he saw Luo Qian beside him take a leap, step on a stone raised in the water, and actually flew over the water in a volley, and when he reached Xia Jin's side, he pushed her away with one hand: "Be careful." The other hand grabbed into the air. Firmly grasped the fish in his hand.
Not only Xia Qi and the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family were stunned by Luo Qian's behavior, but Xia Jin was also stunned.
It's just a fish. Can she still be hurt with her skills? Luo Qian's reaction, should he be so strong?
Luo Qian didn't feel that his behavior was too much. He grabbed the fish, turned his head and asked Xia Jin, "How is it?" Is it hurt? ”
Xia Jin shook his head: "No, it's not hurt." ”
Luo Qian then took the fish off the hook, threw it into Lin Yu's barrel, and said to Lin Yu: "This fish has spines on it and hooks on the line, it is very easy to hurt people, Sister Yu should be careful next time." Miss Xia is here as a guest, and it's not good for you to scratch her face. ”
Lin Yu had come back to her senses at this time, thinking of the consequences of scratching Xia Jin, her face suddenly turned pale, and she hurriedly apologized to her in a panic: "I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I, I didn't mean it just now." ”
Xia Jin smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." Novice fishing, it's all like that. We have no grudges, how could you be deliberate? It's just a miss. ”
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her face, and she thanked Luo Qian again: "Brother Luo, fortunately, you are good." Otherwise, the little sister would be in trouble if she hurt Miss Xia. ”
Luo Qian and the Lin brothers and sisters have been used to playing since childhood. He has always treated Lin Wan and Lin Yu as his sister. At this time, he patted Lin Yu's head and said with a smile: "Always so reckless, how can you grow up?" ”
Lin Yu tilted her head to prevent him from being photographed, and stuck out her tongue again, looking very lively.
Seeing this, Lin Yun also relieved himself. Turning his head and glancing at Xia Qi again, he hoped that he wouldn't have any bad opinions about his sister.
Where does Xia Qi have free time to take care of Lin Yun? He was looking at Luo Qian fixedly, and there was an emotion called anger in his chest.
The fresh and tender cabbage that had just grown into his house was about to be arched by the pig.
And inside the wall, Lin Tongzhi and his wife also saw this scene. Because Luo Qian's expression was too natural, and there was that sentence to cover up, except for Xia Qi, who was already vigilant, everyone thought that Luo Qian was thinking about Lin Yu, afraid that she would hurt the guests and damage the reputation of the Lin family.
The hanging heart was put down, and Mrs. Lin sighed: "This Luo family kid is really a good one." Able to be literate and martial, and self-disciplined, it is the most suitable partner for marriage. It's a pity that I didn't have a good stomach and didn't give you a daughter. Although our sister Wan and Sister Yu are good, they are poor in their appearance. ”
"Brother Qian, don't think about it." Lin Tongzhi said with a smile, "Mrs. Luo is going to hire a daughter-in-law in the capital." We are a family, and people look down on us. ”
Although Lin Tongzhi's family is rich, the foundation is finally shallow, and it cannot be compared with the Luo family and Mrs. Luo's mother's family.
Because the two daughters were concubines, Mrs. Lin didn't think about marrying Mrs. Luo, but just said that, when she heard Lin Tongzhi's words, she smiled and didn't say anything.
As for the two brothers, Luo Yu and Luo Chen, although they are outstanding, Mrs. Lin has always been unaccustomed to Aunt Zhang's pampering and arrogance. I don't know how to advance or retreat, I feel that with such a mother, the two brothers are not there. So she never thought of giving her concubine to the two brothers.
Thinking of the complexity of the Luo family. Mrs. Lin was satisfied with the Xia family. Originally, she wanted to persuade Lin Tongzhi again, but at this time, she changed her mind and said: "Master Xia, since you are optimistic, and Sister Wan also agrees, I have no reason to stop it." After a while, you can find an opportunity to talk to Brother Qian. Let him go and find out. Although our door is high, there is no intention of climbing. But if you marry a daughter, you have to be more reserved, and you need his family to send someone to propose marriage before we can agree. ”
Although Lin Tongzhi has concubines. is very affectionate with Mrs. Lin. If Mrs. Lin is not optimistic about this family business, he will not be able to allow it without permission. I invited Xia Qi to come today, and I brought my wife and daughter here to watch secretly, just to ask for their opinions.
At this time, seeing that Mrs. Lin finally relented, he was immediately overjoyed, and said to Mrs. Lin: "Madam, don't worry, I have always had a good vision and will not look at the wrong person." ”
Mrs. Lin nodded, and the husband and wife turned around and went into the back yard. I packed my things and got ready to go back to the city.
In front of the lake, what just happened just happened. Lin Yun felt that it was not good to play anymore. And several people have caught ten fish combined, all of which are about two or three catties, even if they are even up and down, they can't eat them all. He then called his servants to gather the fish in the bucket together, and carried them in, ready to prepare lunch; I invited a few people to drink tea in the water pavilion next to me.
"Yesterday I went hunting with my dad. Hunted a deer. Because I invited you to play today, I left half of it in the cellar. I called them out. Let's have a barbecue here. He said.
Naturally, everyone said yes.
Lin Yun smiled again and said to Xia Qi: "Our family is a good family with the Luo family, and we play with our brothers and sisters when we play with Xiao Luo San, and we don't shy away from each other." You are also two brothers and sisters, and you are both a family. Let's not talk about so many rules, just talk together, and it looks lively. ”
In Linjiang City, Lin Tongzhi has the most Wei and Jin styles, likes poetry and painting, likes music and rhythm, likes food, likes amusement, is witty and not old-fashioned, and the rules at home are not so poor and exquisite.
Xia Qi has played with these eunuchs twice, and he also knows some about the situation of the Lin family. He came from a small family, and he didn't have so many rules. So the style of the Lin family makes him like and relax.
Besides, the guest is as he pleases, and even if he is not happy in his heart, he is not good at objecting.
It's just that it's a game together, but it's still divided into men's and women's tables, but the two tables are not far apart, and you don't have to raise your throat to hear each other.
Lin Yun first let everyone taste his family's new tea, and the people over there brought two braziers over there, and put iron shelves on them.
"This venison has to be roasted by itself to have a taste." Lin Yun said with a smile, then rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to roast the venison.
Luo Qian also stepped forward to help.
Seeing this, Xia Qi couldn't sit still, so he also stepped forward, took a piece of venison from the basin and spread it on the iron frame, followed Lin Yun's example, and brushed the seasoning.
Lin Yu has a lively temperament and can't sit still for a long time. As soon as Lin Yun stepped forward, she also jumped in front of the shelf, rolled up her sleeves and roasted it.
Lin Wan sat still, refilled the cup Xia Jin had just drunk, and said with a smile: "Miss Xia is sitting." Just now fishing, you are also tired, take a break and have a cup of tea. ”
In his previous life, Xia Jin carried out missions in the jungle, sometimes staying for a month or two. In those months or two, I lived by hunting and barbecue. So she didn't have anything new about this activity, but she was curious about Lin Wan's shy eyes when she came out to see Xia Qi just now. I don't know what Lin Tongzhi told her, which made her look change greatly.
Xia Jin's eyes fell on his brother.
During this time, not only did Xia Jin himself begin to grow taller and his complexion became ruddy, but Xia Qi also changed greatly.
Fourteen or five years old is the fastest stage for boys. Now that Sanfang has separated from Xiafu, the business of the hospital is good, and the family is much more prosperous, Shu's distress is that a pair of children are not in good health, but they can work eating. In the past few months, Xia Qi has risen a little taller, and he is already half a head taller than Xia Jin in height. When Xia Jin dressed up as him, he had to wear special shoes to be equal to him.
Xia Qi not only grew taller, but his face also had some distinct outlines, and there was a thin layer of fluff on his mouth, and his voice had become majestic.
Before he knew it, he had changed from a slightly childish teenager to a young man.
Xia Jin withdrew his gaze and pretended to bow his head to drink tea, but the rest of his eyes were on Lin Wan.
I saw that Lin Wan was also pretending to drink tea. His eyes unconsciously glanced at Xia Qi.
Xia Jin's heart moved: Could it be that Lin Tongzhi wants to marry his daughter to Xia Qi?
With this thought, she raised her head and carefully planned to pick up Lin Wanlai.
Children of large families, due to the problem of good genes. There are few untidy appearances. Lin Tongzhi himself is a good look, and when it comes to Lin Yun and Lin Wan, it is not bad at all. Lin Wan has a goose egg face, big eyes, and two crescent moons when she laughs, which is particularly pleasing. After getting along these two times, she gave Xia Jin an excellent impression. He spoke softly and gently, neither as strong as Shen Yufang. is not as unruly as Zhu Xinlan and Li Yuyuan.
Xia Jin's gaze turned to Xia Qi again.
I don't know if Xia Qi likes such a girl.
In line with the idea of helping his brother check the gates, Xia Jin opened his mouth to talk to Lin Wan: "Miss Lin, are we the same year?" I don't know if it's you. Or am I big? ”
"It's my birthday in autumn, I don't know when Miss Xia is?" Lin Wan said.
"Then I'm older than you. My brother and I have the same birthday, the day after tomorrow. ”
Xia Jin's words made Lin Wan blush.
Xia Jin smiled secretly, only pretending not to know, looked up over there, and saw that Lin Yun and Luo Qian were skillful, but Xia Qi was in a hurry, and he choked on the smoke. Coughing again and again, she couldn't help laughing, and turned Lin Wan with her elbow: "Look at my brother." ”
Lin Wan raised her head and glanced over there quickly. hurriedly lowered his head, just now his face was a little red, but this time, even his neck was red.
Seeing her like this, Xia Jin was about to laugh out loud. Lin Wan's appearance as a frightened deer is so innocent and cute.
She looked over there. I thought to myself: There is such a sister-in-law, but it is not bad. Lin Wan's temperament. It's a bit similar to Shu's. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely get along well.
Although Luo Qian was roasting meat over there, his mind was here in Xia Jin. Quickly roasted the meat, cut it into small pieces with scissors, and put it on a white plate, he put the plate in front of Lin Yu: "Na, little girl, send it to your two sisters." ”
Lin Yu rarely played this game, and she looked even more embarrassed than Xia Qi. The two eyes were as red as rabbit eyes, and the nose was smeared with black soot, which was very funny.
Lin Yun looked up at his sister, and suddenly showed a miserable expression, grabbed the plate and said, "I'll send it, you hurry up and wash your face." ”
Xia Jin couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Lin Yu who turned around.
Lin Wan hurriedly got up, pulled Lin Yu and ran to the back yard.
So the two pieces of venison that Luo Qian had worked so hard to roast went into Xia Jin's stomach.
When Xia Qi saw it, he was annoyed. But he himself was not angry, and the roasted venison was like charcoal, and he couldn't eat it at all. I had to glance at Luo Qian hatefully, and he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and be courteous.
On this day, everyone had a lot of fun. There is only one point, Luo Qian's attention is on Xia Jin; Xia Jin's attention was on Lin Wan; Lin Wan's attention was on Xia Qi; And Xia Qi's attention was on Luo Qian.
Lin Tongzhi and his wife had already left, and the six young people had lunch and walked around the woods before returning home.
On the way back, Luo Qian didn't go in when he arrived at the door, but followed him to Xia's house.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Qi asked vigilantly.
The change in Xia Qi's attitude towards Luo Qian, Luo Qian could naturally feel it. But he didn't care. He was about to reveal a little bit of the news to the Xia family about it, so as not to let Xia's father and Xia's mother make an appointment to Xia Jin early.
"There is something in the Lin family that I want to mention to my uncle and aunt." He said quietly.
"The Lin family?" Xia Qi frowned, "What do they have to say?" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Xia Jin.
Luo Qian knew that he wanted to be crooked, so he didn't explain much, and squeezed into the door from Xia Qi with a smile: "You'll know in a while." ”
Xia Jin knew what Luo Qian was going to say, and said to Xia Qi: "Brother, it's a good thing, a great thing." Squeezed his eyes at him, followed Luo Qian and entered the door.
Seeing that the two of them had a good heart, and they didn't say a word to each other, Xia Jin could know what Luo Qian was thinking, Xia Qi didn't believe that there was no leg between them at this time, and he was unhappy and followed in.
Shu Shi heard the report of Calamus and said that Luo Qian was coming, and he felt strange in his heart, and while sending someone to the front medical hall to call Xia Zhengqian, he entered the front hall.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" Luo Qian saw Shu Shi enter the door, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Seeing that Luo Qian's attitude was closer and more concerned than last time, and he spoke like his nephew, Shu Shi was full of joy and hurriedly responded: "Okay, very good." How is your father and mother? ”
Xia Qi pursed his lips on the side, and glanced at his sister again.
Xia Jin felt his gaze and turned to look at him. The eyes of the brother and sister met in the air for a moment before they turned away.
"Luo Gongzi is here?" Xia Zhengqian wanted to come to the door after a while, so he entered the door.
There was another cold noise, everyone sat down, and Xia Zhengqian entered the topic: "Lin Tongzhi Lord Lin, a daughter on his knees, fourteen years old, is from his concubine's room." Today, I see Brother Qi Feng handsome, knowledgeable, and famous at a young age, and wants to give this daughter to Brother Qi as his wife, I don't know what my uncle and aunt think? ”
As soon as these words came out, except for Xia Jin, all the people in the room were stunned.
After a long time, Shu asked in disbelief: "Young Master Xia, are you saying that Lin Tongzhi Lin has taken a fancy to my Brother Qi'er and wants to marry his daughter to Brother Qi'er as his wife?" ”
"Exactly." Luo Qian said with a smile.
Shu Shi looked at Xia Zhengqian, and then at Xia Qi, a full smile floated on his face: "This, how do you say this?" People like us, Lord Lin doesn't dislike ......"
Xia Zhengqian interrupted Shu's words: "Master Luo, this matter is very important, how about our family discuss it first and then reply to you?" (To be continued)
