It was already late for Lin Xuan to return to the Wang family's ancestral home, and it was already late at night.

According to the local custom of Shanghai, there must be someone to keep vigil in the mourning hall, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw that it seemed to be his third uncle Wang Xingye keeping vigil.

Those juniors of the Wang family had already returned to their homes at this time, leaving only Wang Sisi and Lin Xuan.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Wang Xingye, who was originally dozing off, suddenly woke up, just in time to see Wang Sisi and Lin Xuan who walked in.

"Third uncle. ”

"Dad. ”

Wang Sisi walked with two straight two long legs and ran to Wang Xingye's side.

Wang Xingye nodded and said, "How was your play tonight? Did you all bully your cousin Lin Xuan?"

Wang Sisi snorted lightly and said, "I won't bully my cousin, but that stinky boy Huang Bo has been targeting Cousin Lin Xuan." ”

Wang Xingye's face suddenly darkened, looked at Lin Xuan, and said, "Lin Xuan, don't hate your cousin Huang Bo, after all, they are all family, if he bullies you in the future, you will tell me!"

Lin Xuan smiled but said nothing.

Wang Xingye told Wang Sisi again: "If they bully your cousin in the future, you remember to stand on your cousin's side, it's really not good, you tell me, I'll teach these stinky boys a lesson." ”

"Dad, I don't need you to say it, I will definitely stand on my Cousin Lin Xuan's side, but I don't need you to teach them a lesson, I guess they won't dare to target Cousin Lin Xuan now. ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

Wang Sisi told Wang Xingye what happened tonight, and during this period, many places added oil and vinegar, and they were about to catch up with the storyteller.

After listening, Wang Xingye stared at Lin Xuan, with a look of disbelief, and said, "Lin Xuan, what Sisi said is true. ”

Lin Xuan nodded.

Wang Xingye suddenly felt incredible, it was possible to say that Lin Xuan knew Fang Churou, but Fang Churou scolded her younger brother Fang Songlin in public for Lin Xuan's sake, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

He really couldn't imagine how the two knew each other and had a close relationship.

After all, one is the daughter of a top wealthy family in Shanghai, and the other is the son of an ordinary working-class family in Jiangcheng.

No matter how you look at it, you can't get along at all.

"Lin Xuan, how did you meet Fang Churou?"

Lin Xuan knew that the third uncle was going to ask, so he said what he had just said to Wang Sisi again.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I have time. ”

When Wang Sisi heard this, he directly rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan, and the expression on his face seemed to say, "Your excuse is too old-fashioned, can you change it to a new one." ’

Wang Xingye didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "The rooms of the two of you are arranged, hurry up and rest, you have to work for a day tomorrow." ”

"Then you should rest early. ”

Lin Xuan and Wang Sisi went up from the stairs on the side to the second floor.

The ancestral house of the Wang family is an old-fashioned alley like Shanghai, with twenty or thirty rooms, enough for them to rest, and most of them have gone home, leaving only Lin Xuan and the third uncle's family.

"Alright, you go and rest. Lin Xuan stood at the door of a room on the second floor and said to Wang Sisi.

Wang Sisi looked Lin Xuan up and down, his eyes revealing a thick curiosity, and then pointed to his room, and said proudly:

"Cousin, you must have a story, it just so happens that I have wine here, otherwise go to my room and sit down. ”

The black line in Lin Xuan's head.

If an adult said this to you, it would not sound like much, but at this time, it is a 16-year-old quirky girl who is telling you this, and it is a little strange to look at it.

"Go, go, go to bed, where did you learn this?"

"It's boring! Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep, you can go to bed early. Wang Sisi rolled Lin Xuan's eyes again, turned around and walked into the room.

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head, this cousin is really eccentric.

"Cousin, are you really not coming in and sitting?" suddenly the door opened again, and a pretty face poked out from inside.

Seeing Lin Xuan's face darken, Wang Sisi spit out his pink little tongue, smiled, and retracted again.

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and walked towards his room.

"Dad, why are you here?" Lin Xuan was just about to enter the door, but saw a figure standing in the corridor not far away, it was Lin Yuanshan.

Lin Yuanshan leaned on the old wooden railing at this time, and he also held a cigarette butt that was burning slowly in his hand, and the smoke was shrouded in the surroundings, looking a little lonely.

"Oh, it's nothing, I can't sleep, so I come out and smoke a cigarette, by the way, how are you playing with your cousins today?"

Seeing Lin Xuan appear, Lin Yuanshan's expression was a little flustered.

Lin Xuan knew that his father's heart was uncomfortable at this time.

Lin Yuanshan was originally a very cheerful person, but after coming to Shanghai, he seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, silent a lot, and he couldn't raise his head in front of the Wang family, and he always felt that he was inferior.

"It's fine. Lin Xuan said.

"Oh? they didn't say anything... Isn't that nice?"

"No, they're all fine, especially my third uncle's daughter. ”

"That's good, that's good. Lin Yuanshan seemed to say with some emotion.

"By the way, Dad, why didn't I see the old man of the Wang family, there was such a big incident in the family, and I didn't see him show up, where is he now?"

Lin Yuanshan glanced at Lin Xuan, and stopped talking: "The old man can't come out." ”

"Can't get out? Could it be that they have some kind of illness? Also, they are all so old. ”

"It's not that I'm sick, it's... It's in!"

"Got in?!" Lin Xuan couldn't believe it, "Why did you go in?"

Lin Yuanshan spit out a puff of smoke rings and sighed: "Isn't it because of that incident, in the political struggle of officialdom, he was caught by someone and directly sentenced to life, which has been more than ten years." ”

Lin Yuanshan actually didn't say a word, it was none other than Qin Hongji, the old man of the Qin family, who got the old man Wang in.

This was the real reason why he opposed Lin Xuan and Qin Zhixi in the first place.

In any case, there is a blood feud between the Wang family and the Qin family.

On the other hand, he didn't want his son to follow his old path again.

A marriage with the wrong door is really a very painful thing and very tormenting.

Lin Xuan suppressed the surprise in his heart, nodded, looked at his father, and said, "Dad, you don't have to think about it so much, their Wang family is nothing remarkable." ”

Lin Yuanshan shook his head with a wry smile.

He also thought so when he was young, he was young and vigorous, and he always felt that he was the protagonist of the world, and there was nothing he couldn't do.

But as he grew older, the reality of society gradually made him understand that some people in this world are really superior, and what people are born with may not be able to get in your life.

"Okay, you go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, I'll be alone for a while." ”

Seeing that his father didn't believe it, Lin Xuan didn't explain, because sometimes there was no evidence, and it was estimated that no one would believe what he said.

"Wait and see, there's going to be a show soon. ”
