Chapter 70: Hands and Wine Must Be the Same, Right?
Hearing his grandfather mention the Demon Clan, Ling Yan couldn't help but think of the Fifth Mingyuan.
I don't know how he's doing now.
"Although the Holy Soul Mansion is one of the eight major forces, it is an independent small world, controlled by one main family and three major sub-families, and your sister-in-law is married to the Zi family Ren family."
"But less than two years after your sister-in-law married to the Holy Soul Mansion, there was a civil strife in the Holy Soul Mansion, and your sister-in-law and uncle wanted to temporarily send the cousin who was born in the same year as you back to the Ling family to raise her, but your mother's identity was discovered by the Burning Heaven Sect at this time, and the Burning Heaven Sect attacked your uncle and his party in order to blackmail the Spirit family, and your uncle was seriously injured in order to protect their mother and daughter and has been in a coma since then, and the child was also accidentally lost at that time."
Ling Zhaoduan's expression sank as he spoke, and so did everyone.
Lingyan and the child who disappeared back then have always been two pieces of heart meat that are difficult for their Ling family to cut.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Lingshan suddenly picked up his wine glass and said:
"Don't be discouraged, Sister Yan Yan can find the Ling family by herself in fifteen years, I think my cousin must be alive and well somewhere now, and she will definitely come back! Today is a reception banquet for Yan Yan, don't think about those unhappy things, let's toast her together! ”
Lingshan's words pulled everyone's emotions back.
When the two children disappeared, they originally thought that the Ling family had completely lost them, but now that Lingyan is back, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them, and maybe the child is still alive and well somewhere.
The eldest brother Lingxian raised his glass and smiled: "The fourth brother is right, Yan Yan is back today, we should be happy, come, Yan Yan, big brother respects you!" ”
"The third brother also respects you!"
The crowd raised their glasses.
Seeing this, Ling Yan quickly stood up, and she was about to pick up the wine glass, when Ling Jinge beside her suddenly held down her hand.
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, but saw Ling Jinge take the wine glass in her hand, then poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Yanyan, you are still young, drinking alcohol hurts your body, don't be spoiled by your brothers, just replace wine with tea."
Ling Jinge said and looked at the old lady, "Grandmother too, you have just recovered from your illness, and you are not allowed to drink!" ”
The old lady smiled when she heard this, put down the wine glass, "Okay, good, don't drink, grandmother listens to you!" ”
After the toast, everyone sent Lingyan a meeting gift.
Although the Ling family was in a difficult time at this time, they took out the most valuable item in their hands at present, for fear that Ling Yan would feel that he was not taken seriously.
After three rounds of wine, the night was dark, the lanterns were on, and the wine jug was empty, so everyone asked their subordinates to bring up the wine again.
But after waiting for a long time, no one brought the wine.
Ling Fengyu's face was slightly dark, and Ling Jinge said, "It's okay, I'll go get it." ”
Ling Fengyu saw that Lingyan was there, and it was hard to say anything, so he nodded.
Ling Jinge was about to get up, when a little guy yawned and came over with a wine jug.
He casually put the wine jug on the table, and the wine spilled out, "Third Young Master, I'll give you the wine you want." ”
The little girl's voice was lazy, and he didn't salute after speaking, he turned around and left, muttering mocking words in his mouth:
"The Ling family is so depressed that they can't afford to pay the rent soon, and they have to play the pomp of a big family, it's ridiculous!"
Ling Fengyu couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard this, Ling Jinge shook his head at him, signaling him not to be angry in front of Ling Yan.
Ling Fengyu had to take a breath for the time being, pour a glass of wine and drink it, but the taste of the wine made him frown.
It's just that he didn't say anything about it, just that it tasted ordinary.
Seeing this, Ling Yan took the wine jug directly from Ling Fengyu's hand and sniffed it.
The taste of the wine is very light, as if it has been mixed with water.
It's worse than the bad wine her master drank before.
She put down the flask and said, "Stop." ”
Lingyan said this to the little guy, and his voice was cold, with a chill.
When the words fell, everyone paused, and they all looked at her.
Hearing this, the little girl also turned her head and said impatiently: "What else is there about Miss Cousin's name Xiao?" ”
Ling Yan's eyes were gloomy, and he pointed to the wine jug and asked, "What's the matter with this wine?" ”
The little guy pretended not to understand, and smiled disdainfully, "What's the matter, isn't this just wine?" Don't recognize Miss Table? ”
"Wine?"
Ling Yan hooked her lips, she picked up the flask and poured a glass of wine, and then beckoned to the little girl, "You come here." ”
The little girl didn't know what she was going to do, but she walked over anyway.
When he walked in front of Lingyan, Lingyan directly poured the wine in his hand on his face.
The little guy was caught off guard and was splashed on the face, he was stunned, and everyone was stunned.
Lingyan put down the wine glass and asked, "You taste it yourself, can this be called wine?" ”
Seeing that Lingyan tore his face, he didn't pretend anymore, he wiped his face, and his eyes flashed with sarcasm:
"Miss Biao, you don't understand, this wine is the famous wine drunk breeze in the imperial capital, two hundred taels and one altar, the young masters and young ladies have finally been able to drink one jar during this time, I don't mix some water to let you drink a few more sips?"
"So I'm wrong about you?"
Ling Yan sneered lightly, "Okay, you bring up the altar of drunken breeze, get rid of those who have been drunk, there should be half an altar left, if you can take it, this matter will be over, if you can't take it, according to the master-servant contract signed when entering the mansion, I can directly chop your hand!" ”
Ling Yan's words made Xiao Yan's heart tremble, he never expected that this sixth lady who had just come back would be so strong.
He has done this kind of thing many times in the past, but even the head of the family and the old lady didn't dare to find out the matter, she turned a blind eye, she was a young lady who had just come back, why was she pretending here!
The little girl said to her: "You don't pretend to be here anymore, I'm afraid you don't know what the situation of the Ling family is now, do you think you can still be a big lady who calls the slaves around?" ”
"If it weren't for the master-servant contract signed with the Ling family, do you think we would still be willing to be servants in your down-and-out family? Now that the Ling family's property has been sealed, the accounts have long been beyond their means, and this month's monthly silver is almost impossible to pay, but they are still unwilling to dismiss their domestic servants, unwilling to sell their property, and even unwilling to reduce those expenses on the row. ”
"I just can't see what kind of reception banquet and what kind of drunk breeze I have to drink today, so I deliberately mixed water into the wine, what's wrong!"
The little guy said a lot of things confidently, and Lingyan understood it.
She raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically, "Did I ask you this?" I'm talking about you, I want you to bring the rest of the wine! Whether you mix it with water or tea, I want the rest of the wine! ”
Ling Yan said and took out the Split Sword, played with it in his hand, and said:
"It's no problem if you want to leave the Ling family, I can let my grandfather cancel the contract between you and the master and servant of the Ling family, and this month's monthly silver will not give you a penny, but today, the remaining wine is still your hand, so you have to keep it!"
