35. Mother-in-law's invitation (4700 words)
"Yan'er, are you planning to ........?"
Lin Taiyuan said with a shocked face: "Give this sun-covering divine sword to the prince?" β
Bai Yan'er shook her head, "This sword is originally the property of the Jiang family of the Yue royal family, and I am just returning it to its original owner this time, why not give it away?" β
"That's right........"
Lin Taiyuan nodded, "Now the situation in Kyushu seems to be stable, and the Seven Kings are willing to submit to the command of Zhou Tianzi and herd the world together, but in fact, there are constant internal undercurrents, and sooner or later things will change. β
"Putting aside my Zhou room, among the four princes and kings of Zhongzhou, the king of Chu is domineering and violent, repeatedly trampling on the covenant, annexing the surrounding small countries, the king of Qi is obedient on the surface, but in fact he has been secretly expanding the army of warriors, and the king of Yan in the north has directly married the Yuanrong people outside the Saiwai in recent years, and I don't know what major things he is plotting."
"Only His Royal Highness the King of Yue, he is still a loyal person."
Lin Taiyuan sighed:
"Since this Yue monarch succeeded to the throne, no matter how the situation in Kyushu changes, he has only devoted himself to doing his own business, developing the domestic people's livelihood, never contaminating right and wrong, and never making a mistake in the annual tribute to the Zhou royal family every year......"
"Therefore, Yan'er, if you want to return this sword to Yue Guo, brother-in-law, I am completely in favor of it."
"Of course my brother-in-law has to approve."
Bai Yan'er smiled and said, "After all, that Yuejun Jiang Shanren is your in-laws." β
"Hey, Yue Jun is noble, where does the old man dare to trespass."
Speaking of this, Lin Taiyuan sighed, "Knowing a daughter is not as good as a father, over the years, although I have been sick in bed, but I have seen the affairs of the house clearly, my unfilial daughter has always been extremely cold to His Royal Highness the Prince, if it weren't for this, it has been six years, she should have brought the Son to see me a long time ago......."
"I miss my Lin family, since the ancestor Lin Xuan, assisted Zhou Taizu to settle the Central Plains, generations of loyalty, and dedication to the country, but I didn't expect it....... Passed down to the old husband's generation, there was such an unfilial daughter! β
"I'm so angry!"
Master Shangshu, who was only in his early forties, beat his chest and feet, frowned, and looked more and more old.
"Alright, brother-in-law."
Bai Yan'er's face sank slightly: "When it comes to Siyan, I have to say two words." β
"How?"
Lin Taiyuan was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "You, who are aunts, want to excuse this unfilial girl?" β
"Not exculpable."
Bai Yan'er's beautiful eyes were deep, "Brother-in-law, there is one thing, I think it's time to tell you." β
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Taiyuan's interface, she lowered her voice and said: "That night, Princess Shenhuang launched a palace change, and my brother-in-law entrusted me to sneak into the palace and secretly rescue Princess Hongxiu, do you still have memories of this matter?" β
"Of course."
Hearing this, Lin Taiyuan's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Yan'er, you are not only the benefactor of my Lin family, but also the benefactor of Da Zhou!" When Princess Hongxiu regains the throne, she should be the first hero! β
"Brother-in-law is serious, I am a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and these worldly fame and fortune are not attracted to me at all."
Bai Yan'er shook her head and said, "Brother-in-law, that night I was defeating the empress's three confidants, Wei Mingcheng of Hongyingfang, Qi Danian of Dongchang, and Shangguan Lianyue, the "female Zhuge ", took Princess Hongxiu, and fled to the palace gate, suddenly a figure stood in front of me, do you know who it is?" β
"No...... It's that unfilial girl, right? β
Lin Taiyuan's body shook.
"Yes, it's your eldest daughter, my nieceβ"
"At that time, I met the gods and killed the gods, and I had just defeated seventeen royal family guards, and the goddess of the Great Zhou was in the limelight, and the eighteen-year-old Siyan was captured."
Bai Yan'er said word by word.
"That last...... Did you win that unfilial girl? β
Lin Taiyuan said in a trembling voice.
"You don't know your daughter too well."
Bai Yan'er smiled bitterly: "When I was young, in the martial arts of the Yue Kingdom, I was barely a first-class person, and I had defeated countless Tianjiao in my life, and I rarely failed, but when I fought with Siyan, I felt unprecedented despair......
"It seems that this junior in front of me is invincible."
"I have already seen the Lin family's eight directions and five thunder palms, but the same palm moves, in her hands, are like miracles."
"After fighting dozens of moves, I felt bad, and I planned to drag her with my life and let Princess Hongxiu leave on her own, but I didn't expect ......"
Although six years have passed, Bai Yan'er's beautiful eyes still have a shocking color: "Siyan her...... He picked up my broken sword on the ground and stabbed him in the chest! β
"What!?"
Lin Taiyuan's eyes widened, "She...... What is she going to do? β
After stabbing herself, Siyan ....... Said two words to me. Bai Yan'er said.
"What did she say?" Lin Taiyuan asked.
"The first sentence. A true righteous person, regardless of her heart, she Lin Siyan is worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of the legacy of the ancestors of the Lin family. β
"Second sentence. Take good care of Princess Hongxiu. β
Bai Yan'er repeated.
"This ........"
"You know, you sneaked into the palace that night, and that girl didn't recognize your identity at all, but she was willing to harm herself and let Princess Hongxiu go?"
Lin Taiyuan was incredulous.
"Yes."
Bai Yan'er said: "So, brother-in-law, you should also let go of your prejudice against Siyan, the grievances and struggles within the Great Zhou royal family back then, which is right and which is wrong, how can we outsiders see it really?" β
"That's it, let's not mention this."
Lin Taiyuan waved his hand dejectedly, and said: "Speaking of which, the old man has always been a little curious, all these years, Yan'er, why are you so concerned about the affairs of His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
"Because he saved my life." Bai Yan'er looked at the void and muttered.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? β
Lin Taiyuan was confused.
You know, his sister-in-law is only in his early thirties this year, and his son-in-law is even more eighteen, how can the latter have the opportunity to save the former's life?
"There is no need to mention the past, life has been stormy ......."
Bai Yan'er sighed lightly and said, "Brother-in-law, after I return to Jinling today, you must take good care of your health, maybe I will go...... I won't come back, the imperial capital is too noisy, and it is not suitable for me to meditate. β
"Well, you've decided."
Lin Taiyuan nodded, and then said with a sincere face: "Your Excellency, you have been taking care of you for many years, for the sake of your deceased wife's face, please allow someone Lin to call you sister, besidesββ"
"His Royal Highness said that I have at most one year to live."
"Now that Siyan and the others have grown up, after the old man leaves, my sister can leave with confidence."
"As a brother-in-law, I only hope that you, sister, can be safe and happy in the future, find your beloved man as soon as possible, have children, and spend the rest of your life together......."
"Beloved man? Brother-in-law, don't laugh. β
Bai Yan'er picked up the sword that covered the sun with both hands, looked at the night sky, her plump lips turned up, and smiled sadly, "A woman like me who is a lone star, who in this world can restrain me?" Where will there be any good marriage? β
"Brother-in-law, don't worry."
"As long as Yan'er is in one day, Siyan, Qianxi, and Mo'er, they will always have a mother."
"His Royal Highness, there will always be a mother-in-law who loves him."
........
........
The dawn is dawning.
A wisp of fish belly white faintly appeared in the sky.
said that Jiang Li was buried in his wife's warm and soft arms, crying loudly.
was comforted by the two beauties of the Lin family for a long time, and realized that the play was almost done, so he gave up and slowly raised his head.
Of course, his real mood now is undoubtedly pleasant.
It turned out that just now, he used the power of the first layer of "True Martial Arts Hun Tiangong" to forcibly break Gong Xuanyuan's right leg and left hand joints, causing his dagger to fly out, his body fell to the ground, and his chest was just aimed at the dagger sharp, and he was killed!
The whole process is perfect, every detail is impeccable!
Even Lin Siyan's martial arts realm didn't show half of it!
Such an astonishing martial arts calculation........
He was even a little suspicious, he was afraid that it was really the legendary Martial Immortal!
He was secretly happy in his heart.
Suddenly, a golden-clothed catcher next to him reported: "Master Lin! Oh no! The proprietress of the wine shop, Sister Lan, she ...... Suicide! β
"What!?"
Jiang Li and the second daughter of the Lin family glanced at each other, and the three of them rushed over at the same time.
I saw a beautiful woman lying on the ground in front of the attic that was burned to ruins, with blood flowing from her neck, and she was out of breath.
Looking along the trail of blood, I saw a short dagger stained with blood.
"She'......."
Lin Qianxi couldn't bear it, and looked at her sister next to her with red eyes, "Sister, why is this Sister Lan like this?" Aren't all the murderers already in ambush? Why? What the hell is ....... Why? β
Lin Siyan next to her also looked shocked, was silent for a long time, and shook her head gloomily.
Admittedly, this was beyond her knowledge.
Even if she is the goddess of the Great Zhou, she doesn't know how to answer her sister.
Oh, yes.
Why?
Justice has come, the bad guys have been punished, haven't all the sins and grievances been settled?
Why kill yourself?
She was stunned.
A familiar voice rang out:
"Hey, ask what the world is like, just let people promise life and death."
Under her gaze, the young husband who had just shown his might and found out the real murderer behind the scenes, slowly walked to Sister Lan's body.
"Brother-in-law........"
Lin Qianxi walked up by herself, came to her brother-in-law and squatted down, and comforted: "The deceased is gone, don't be too sad, they are husband and wife....... We will be reunited in heaven! β
"But this silver hairpin is ........"
Only then did she realize that the deceased had folded his hands and was clutching a silver hairpin carved with a chrysanthemum emblem, as if praying for something.
"This is their first ten years together, and I had the honor to witness the love token that Boss Sun gave to Sister Lan before his death."
Jiang Li said with emotion.
"I really didn't expect that there are really people in this world who are willing to die for another person."
Lin Siyan also walked over with a pair of long legs, her bright and beautiful eyes, and she was stunned: "Is this worth it?" β
"There is no worthiness or not, only willingness."
Jiang Li shook his head, "We who don't understand the torment of love and hatred, but we think that martyrdom is just an old rumor. β
"It's a sea of people."
"When you meet someone for whom you are willing to give your life, no matter what the final result is, it's a great luck for this life, isn't it?"
Lin Siyan looked stunned and did not speak.
Jiang Li didn't say anything more, and was about to bury the couple together, but listening to Lin Qianxi on the side, he said excitedly:
"Brother-in-law is right!"
"It's just like the poem that my brother-in-law casually chanted when I was a child - "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated"!"
"As long as two people truly love each other, life and death should not be a distance!"
The second lady of the Lin family raised her head and bravely looked directly at the noble and gorgeous young man in front of her.
When I saw her clenching her pink fists, her beautiful eyes sparkling, as if she were ...... Looking forward to what response!
I'll go, isn't it!
After all these years, does she remember?
This girl is too popular, isn't she?
Jiang was taken aback, thinking that this second sister-in-law might still have the memory of the broken temple that night, so he quickly pulled the conversation to Lin Siyan on the side, and said with a smile: "Tsk, madam, you say....... If one day, I, Jiang, take the first step, will you keep something I gave you and cry secretly? β
"No, it won't."
Lin Siyan shook her head, then her beautiful eyes lowered, and her voice was rare and gentle: "But what I can tell the world is that I will remember you for the rest of my life......."
"It's been in my life."
Maybe it's touching the scene.
Perhaps the subordinates have retreated into the distance.
At this moment, her heart was like a cold mirror lake, and she had a rare ripple.
"It's true, but it's not very pleasant."
Jiang Li pursed his lips, and then, without knowing what emotions were causing trouble, he actually took the initiative to take Lin Qianxi's little hand on the side and walked towards the people of the Divine Capture Division in the distance.
"Oh my God, brother-in-law, he ........"
"In front of my sister, so intimate....... Take my hand! β
At this moment, Lin Qianxi's heart beat faster, and her delicate melon seed face suddenly turned red like a ripe peach!
As the second miss of the Lin family, her sister's own sister, she instinctively wanted to avoid suspicion and pulled out her little hand.
But he was led by the warm and powerful palm of his brother-in-law.......
She couldn't do it anyway!
Not only that, but knowing that she was being watched by her sister, the shameful pleasure in her heart swelled even more!
"In front of my sister, if my brother-in-law could be more crazy.......
A thought of great shame suddenly welled up in her heart.
"That's not right! Something is wrong with you! Lin Qianxi! You are the queen of a famous family! The second lady of the official family! How can you be so ignorant of etiquette!"
The other side.
Watching the boys and girls walk side by side, hand in hand towards the distance where the dawn is rising.
The goddess of Da Zhou caught and bit her lips tightly, only to feel that her heart was inexplicably blocked, as if someone had emptied a piece.
What is it exactly?
But she couldn't tell.
Suddenly, she took something out of her bosom and stared at it for a long time.
It was a stone dai from the Western Regions that was used for thrushes.
........
........
ordered his subordinates to bury Sun Dachuan and his wife on the spot.
By this time it was dawn.
The morning light is faint, and in the wilderness, there is a vibrant spring.
The three of them rode together on the official horse and returned to the Shangshu Mansion in the city.
As soon as I arrived, I saw people from all over the house, standing in the front yard respectfully and orderly, and there were three elegantly decorated official sedan chairs next to them.
"This ........"
Lin Siyan turned over and dismounted, and asked the old man led by Xiang: "Uncle Qin, why are you here so early?"
The old housekeeper Qin Tianhuo said: "Miss Hui, Madame got up very early today, so she asked us to go back to Jinling's hometown early in the morning, and the matters are all taken care of, just waiting for you to come back!" But ....... said."
He lowered his voice and said, "I don't know where the eldest lady and my aunt went last night?" Madame looked for you in the middle of the night, but she waited all night! β
Hearing this, Lin Siyan blamed herself in her heart and said, "I dealt with some business with Shizi last night, by the way, where is my mother?" I went to apologize to her. β
"Madame, at this moment, is at the first sedan chair."
The butler pointed to the front, and said with an embarrassed face: "But...... Madame said, the lantern banquet is about to be organized, let the young lady lead the team as soon as possible, what do you have to say, let's talk about it when we get to Jinling, and ........ other."
"What else? What advice does my mother-in-law have? β
Jiang Li also walked up slowly.
"Your Royal Highness, you have come just in time.......
The old housekeeper looked at the noble uncle of the Lin family, who had just saved the life of the owner: "Madam said...... I heard that His Royal Highness Shizi is good at acupuncture and massage, and she has some leg soreness recently, and I hope Shizi can ......."
"No problem, wrap it up on me."
"Since the mother-in-law has needs, this son should do his best!"
Jiang Li had a surprisingly good impression of this mother-in-law, and immediately agreed.
But the next moment, he thought of his mother-in-law's snow-white and delicate, plump and fleshy beautiful legs without losing their beautiful curves.
Although it is in the study, a quick glance.
But from the perspective of art appreciation, he still can't forget it.
"That's fine."
"My mother-in-law treated me like a friend at first sight, and she was very kind."
"In this wave, I should use the strongest filial piety to serve her old man well!"
Jiang Li paid attention, nodded at Lin Siyan, and plunged into the first official sedan chair in front of him, where his mother-in-law was.
The moment the car curtain was lifted.
The eyes are facing each other.
The scene in front of him made him completely amazed........
