Chapter 4: Capture the thief and capture the king first

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about it, the Lin family headquarters under the back mountain ushered in a few rare guests, and a convoy of about seven or eight cars parked outside the gate of the Lin Mansion in an orderly manner.

The Lin family, who was standing on the side of the stone lions on both sides of the gate, caught a glimpse of the big word "Zhou" on the red-topped carriage, and knew in his heart,

"Lingnan Zhou's family is visiting!"

The family is also a person with a loud voice, and his voice is full of face to the visitor.

"The head of the family, the Zhou family is here"

The old housekeeper of the Lin family, who was standing on the side, could hear the whispers of people, waited for a moment, and when Lin Yi raised his hand to drink tea, he said softly,

"Oh, the Zhou family, could it be because of the medicinal herbs?"

Lin Yi also groaned slightly when he heard it,

"The head of the family, the Zhou family is still waiting outside the door."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, follow me to the door and welcome people in first"

Lin Yi got up and walked out of the council hall,

...

"The arrival of the Zhou family in Nanling has made my Lin family shine, haha"

Lin Yi strode out of the gate of the Lin Mansion, and before anyone arrived, the voice came out first,

I saw the people under the carriage, the robes were inlaid with gold and quite noble, with a Chinese face, a tough figure and not half a puffy, followed by a pair of mothers and daughters who were dignified, showing everyone's beautiful posture.

"Oh, what kind of friendship are we all about, Brother Lin, you still torture me like this, let me go in and ask for a cup of tea, this way I came through mountains and rivers, and I died of thirst when I sat in the carriage."

Zhou Dongguo is also an easy-going person, holding a paper fan in one hand and pulling Lin Yi in the other hand to go to the Lin Mansion.

"Yes, yes, come and come and sit, Lin Er, take out the ink bamboo dragon well in my study and give it to Brother Zhou to taste."

"This is good, haha, Brother Lin, I miss the Longjing tea so much"

The two of them were about to enter the gate of the Lin family, when a delicate female voice came from behind them,

"Dad, Uncle Lin, you guys go slowly"

Lin Yi looked back, the woman standing by the carriage was dressed in white clothes and pink sleeves, and a pair of Danfeng eyes stared at this side on her pink face like a hibiscus out of water, and her slightly disgusted expression reminded Lin Yi that she seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it clearly, and it took a long time to remember,

"Are you Xiaoting?"

"Uncle Lin, you haven't seen me for two years, don't you know me?" Although the girl's voice was sweet, it also carried some blame,

"It's really you! Oh, it's not that your Uncle Lin doesn't know you anymore, it's Xiaoting that you have become so beautiful, it's really a girl in the Zhou family who has just grown up!"

"Ting'er, Uncle Lin praises you, why don't you hurry up and show Uncle Lin what we brought today" Ting's mother Dong Mei also smiled at the corner of her mouth, took her daughter's hand and patted it gently,

Zhou Ting turned around and stepped into the car, took out a jade box from the carriage, and walked to Lin Yi with lotus steps.

"Uncle Lin, this is a three-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, I heard from my father that Grandpa Lin's complexion has not been very good recently, so I specially brought it."

Zhou Ting stretched out her jade hand while half-opening the box, there was a red cotton pad in the dark purple sandalwood box, a piece of earthy yellow ginseng was lying quietly on the cotton pad, and a young leaf grew at the branch, which was quite like a dead wood in spring.

It is said that ginseng with young shoots is the most powerful tonic for blood and qi, and Lin Yi's eyes lit up when he saw it.

"Oh, why are you so polite, I'll take this gift first, and I'll thank you on behalf of my father for the Zhou family, come on, I'm tired of standing for so long, hurry up and come in and rest"

The group walked into the hall of the Lin Mansion and sat down, and the second and third elders of the Lin family who rushed to hear the news also complimented Zhou Dongguo before sitting down.

"Brother Lin Yi, the relationship between our two families has been like a brother since the previous generation, I will make it clear what I have to say, this first one is the sinking of the merchant ship that our Zhou family consigned medicinal materials last time, that batch of goods is for the transportation of medicinal materials in Mobei, and now something has gone wrong, several medicinal material merchants in Mobei and my Zhou family have been urging me, so I have to come in person this time to connect with you, brother, and then trouble you to send a few cargo ships to let me transport the medicinal materials to Mobei to save the emergency."

"This is easy to say, last time it was my Lin family that went wrong, although I lost the silver, but my brother still felt very guilty in his heart, this time brother, you can still believe in my Lin family, my Lin family will definitely not let you down, how many boats to borrow, brother, you just say"

"Hey, talking about it, brother, you treat me as an outsider again, let's talk about borrowing a boat later, and then I'll talk about the second thing, and it's the most important thing."

"What?"

Lin Yi was also aroused by Zhou Dongguo's words,

"And listen to me slowly, this time I came to your Lin family with great fanfare, it was in response to the meaning of my old man, my family Tingting is also not young enough to marry the age of marriage, the old man means that it is best to let Tingting marry to your Lin family, of course, we can't call the shots, so I asked Tingting to come to your Lin family first to see if there is a worthy Lin family boy"

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Ting stood aside with a red face. Ting's mother also took Tingting's hand and whispered softly next to Zhou Ting,

"Ahem, it's not good for us to disobey your grandfather's intentions, let's take a look first, if it doesn't work, we'll go home"

didn't expect Zhou Ting's reaction to be so fierce, and Zhou Dongguo said helplessly.

"It turned out to be the meaning of Old Man Zhou, and it is also related to Tingting, that is not sloppy, the second and third, call your sons over, Lin Er, you go to the back mountain and call the fourth"

"Yes (yes), big brother (master)"

In the middle of the ring, there were many young people in the hall of the Lin family.

As the saying goes, "whose teenager is not confident, which girl is not pregnant", the teenager came here to play his skills, the girl came here to see the ability, the sons and daughters of the Lin family gathered together, taking this opportunity, many people are ready to perform well, in case they are seen by other girls, it is also a kind of ability.

"You come one by one, introduce yourself to Miss Ting'er, Lin Zheng, you come first" Lin Yi arranged.

A Dao figure walked out of the crowd, a strong muscle tightened the black vest, looked at the petite and lovely person in front of him, blushed and said loudly, "Hello Miss Ting'er, my name is Lin Zheng, Lin Zhan's son, fifteen years old this year, the current cultivation is a fourth-order mystical person, I have practiced the mortal-level high-grade martial arts "Breaking Rock Fist", and the mortal-level high-grade martial arts "Jinyang Decision", I have a lot of strength, I can protect you" While speaking, Lin Zheng swung his fist, the fist wind whistled, bringing a burst of sound of breaking the air in the hall, and Lin Zhan on the side nodded with a smug expression.

Looking at Lin Zheng, who was twice as big as herself, Zhou Ting was expressionless, gritted her teeth, and said quietly,

"Brother Lin Zheng, thank you, I know you have a lot of strength, but I'm already at the fifth order, I'd better protect myself."

After all, this is choosing a partner for herself, she can't make any jokes, and Zhou Ting can't take care of so many face-saving things.

"Lin Zheng, don't be discouraged, strength is only one aspect, it can be improved."

Zhou Dongguo noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and said in a round on the side.

Lin Zheng scratched his head after hearing this, and walked back to the crowd, Lin Zhan on the side was also stunned for a moment, knowing that his son must be out of play, so he crossed his hands and waited for the next young man, not knowing what he was thinking.

Another person came out of the crowd, standing straight in the middle of the hall in a green coat, looking at everyone, his face did not change, and this move couldn't help but cause Zhou Dongguo to nod slightly.

"Miss Ting'er, hello, my name is Lin Yuan, Lin Rui is my father, I have been practicing martial arts since I was seven years old, and entered the Xuan at the age of ten, and now I am fourteen years and seven and a half months old, and I am already a fifth-order mystical person, similar to the Ting'er girl, the practice is the upper grade of the martial arts "Aoki Qi", and the upper grade martial arts "Aoki Vine", recently I was helping my father take care of Linjiafang City on the east side of Donghai County, and I got a thing, and I hereby present it"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he took two steps forward and knelt on one knee, conjuring a hosta from the palm of his hand as if by magic, and a lotus flower was carved on the hosta, and held it in front of Zhou Ting.

"The ancients cloud lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, and the first lotus on this hosta and Ting'er girl are the best."

"Thank you" Zhou Ting took the hosta and looked at it for a while, but she didn't put it on, Dong Mei on the side pulled her daughter to her side and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?"

"It's not good, it's not bad, I still want to see it again" Zhou Ting put her hands behind her back and pouted.

"Then take another look, no hurry. Dong Mei said this, but she was actually very satisfied with Lin Yuan's performance.

Lin Yuan returned to the crowd, looked at his father Lin Rui, and saw Lin Rui nodding slightly at him, the young man put his mind at ease, and his eyes became slightly hollow.

"Alas, Lin Yuan, this child, can do everything perfectly for his father's expectations, but what kind of life does he expect in his heart" Lin Yi looked at Lin Yuan, and he also sat on the side silently.

The next scene is that the young people of the Lin family from all walks of life show their magical powers, and most of their cultivation is second- and third-order mysteries, but the martial arts can be described as varied, with swords, guns, sticks, and sticks, but the quality is not very high, and they are all middle and lower grades.

I don't know if Zhou Ting is tired or can't look at it, her expression is mediocre, Zhou Dongguo saw his daughter's appearance, he was afraid that the Lin family would be more embarrassed, so he said to Lin Yi, "Master of the Lin family, the people of Donghai County say that the fourth child of your Lin family is a genius, I believe that the son of a genius must be not bad, can you let me meet him." ”

After hearing this, Lin Yi patted his thigh, turned his head to look at Lin Yun in the crowd, and asked, "Fourth, Lin Chen, why didn't he come today." ”

"Big brother, Chen'er, he injured his muscles and bones from his excessive cultivation yesterday, and now he is cultivating in bed, and he is only in the third order now, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter Ting'er's magic eyes, so I didn't let him come."

"Okay, Brother Zhou, you also heard it, Lin Chen's kid is recuperating from his injuries, so I won't let him come"

"That's that, it's important to recuperate, in that case, Ting'er, come over and tell your father if you have a crush on anyone?" Zhou Dongguo said while looking at Lin Yuan in the crowd.

"Dad, not yet, where is it so fast" Zhou Ting walked to Zhou Dongguo's side with a twist, pulling the corners of his clothes and dangling.

"Haha, then don't worry, Brother Lin, it's not too early, you shouldn't suggest it if I disturb your Lin family for one night."

"What's the matter, I wish you would stay a few more days to give me, the son of the Lin family, some chance to perform, besides, I haven't seen you for so long, the dinner is ready, let's eat and chat"

Lin Yi said, took the lead in leaving his seat, and led everyone towards the Lin family's canteen.
