As a big family, the Lin family has been handed down for hundreds of years, because the adult etiquette that has been handed down is also extremely cumbersome.

Finally, three hours later, the tedious rite of passage ended with a round of applause.

The coming-of-age ceremony is over, but the real show of the day has just begun.

Lin Aotian took a step back, and his father Lin Poyun stood up.

He pressed his hands down, and the noise in the hall immediately subsided, with a hint of a smile on his face.

He looked at Lin Aotian and said in a clear voice: "Under the witness of all of you, Xiao'er has completed the coming-of-age ceremony today, and this also means that from now on, he will have the right to take charge of many family affairs, as for what position he is, the Lin family will make an announcement in the next few days." ”

Lin Poyun's words made countless eyes focus on Lin Aotian, although he had a noble status before, he had no real power.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, the Lin family will slowly cultivate him according to the standards of the future head of the family, and gradually build a consolidated power for him.

It can be said that from today on, Lin Aotian has become a hot person in the Lin family and even the entire empire.

"According to the rules of the family, after the coming-of-age ceremony, there is one more thing that needs to be completed, that is, to choose a virtuous helper for him!"

Yang Ran, who was floating in the air, clenched his fists tightly, and there was irrepressible anger on his face.

He looked at "Yang Ran" and Ji Yanran in the corner, although their faces changed slightly, they obviously didn't realize that the crisis had arrived.

In the hall, many VIPs were not surprised when they heard this, the tradition of the Lin family has been passed down for so many generations, they have long been surprised, and more people are looking forward to it, after all, becoming the young lady of the Lin family will represent a very high status and great power.

This may even change the situation pattern of the entire imperial capital.

Seeing this, Lin Poyun also smiled slightly and waved his hand.

Seeing the gesture of the head of the family, a white-bearded old man behind him was already ready, he stood up, holding a white piece of paper in his hand, on which more than a dozen names were recorded.

After clearing his throat, the old man said loudly: "Everyone, there are a total of thirteen beauties waiting this time, six of them are the daughters of the major city lords of the empire, five are the daughters of the first-class forces in the imperial capital, and the other two are from the royal family and the Long family. ”

The old man's words caused an exclamation in the hall, aside from the royal family and the Long family, other forces that were also among the best in the empire were now vying for the position of the young lady of the Lin family.

However, amazement is amazement, but everyone feels that it is abnormal, after all, the Lin family is one of the four major forces of the empire, and Lin Aotian is a well-deserved future family master, so the major forces will definitely try their best to win over, and the beauty plan will undoubtedly be one of the ways.

Hearing the exclamation, a smile appeared on the old man's old face, and he immediately read out every name on the white paper.

"Her Royal Highness the princess, Feng Caiyun. ”

"The niece of the head of the Long family, Jing Huarou. ”

"The daughter of the second leader of the Wolf Tooth Gang, Wolf Dance Moon. ”

......

Every name is announced, in the hall, there will be a portrait unfolded, the standing portrait is one meter wide and two meters high, showing a graceful figure and a pretty woman.

Although it is impossible for real people to show their heads in such a large public, with the painting skills of the Lin family's painters, it is enough to show the most moving style of each beauty to the fullest.

When the thirteen names were announced, all the thirteen huge paintings in the hall were put on display, among which the beauties were charming and charming, each with its own charm.

There are even some young guests whose eyes are a little more fiery, if it weren't for the reminder of the elders next to them, they are afraid that they will make a fool of themselves in public.

The eyes in the hall were all focused on Lin Aotian, and at this moment, he stood in front of the giant painting, as if he was surrounded by thirteen beauties, so glamorous and enviable.

Everyone waited quietly, asking themselves if even they could resist such a temptation, but it was really a happy and cruel choice to pick one of the thirteen beauties.

Therefore, everyone gave great patience to Lin Aotian's inaction.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hall slowly fell into tacit silence.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Aotian, who had been standing still, suddenly moved.

"Tian'er, have you made a decision?" beside him, Lin Poyun asked with a smile.

"Yes, the boy has made a decision. Lin Aotian nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and then walked straight in a certain direction.

Everyone followed to look, the beauty in the huge painting in that direction, her face was delicate and beautiful, her eyebrows were slender and picturesque, her eyes were shining like stars, wearing a white pleated skirt, she looked dignified and noble, quiet and elegant, and at first glance she knew that she was a daughter from a rich family.

"The niece of the head of the Long family, Long Caiyun, Lin Gongzi really has a vision!"

Among these thirteen people, whether it is beauty or temperament, she is the best. ”

"The relationship between the two major families of the Lin family and the Long family is already good, if Long Caiyun becomes the young lady of the Lin family, then the strong alliance will be even more incredible. ”

Seeing Lin Aotian walking out of the giant painting, there was a sound of exclamation and praise in the hall, and Long Qingfeng, who came on behalf of the Long family, was naturally extremely proud.

From then on, the Long family and the Lin family joined forces, and their power in the imperial capital would definitely expand a lot.

And Lin Poyun, who was behind Lin Aotian, had a smile on his face a little thicker, obviously satisfied with the former's choice.

So, under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Aotian slowly walked in front of Long Caiyun's huge picture.

He glanced up and down, then raised his head, and just when everyone thought he was going to take down the huge painting, something unexpected happened!

Because, Lin Aotian not only didn't take down the giant painting, but also pushed it away!

Like a duck being pinched by the neck, the applause in the hall stopped abruptly at this moment, and the smile on Lin Poyunlong's Qingfeng face also froze.

Under the gaze of countless astonished eyes, Lin Aotian pushed away the giant painting, and he continued to walk forward, and came to the corner of the hall, where there sat a girl holding a guzheng with a beautiful face, her face was full of surprise at this moment, completely at a loss for this sudden change.

Long Qingfeng, as well as the faces of the young man sitting next to the girl, sank at this moment.

And Yang Ran, who was floating on the side, had pain and anger on his face.

I saw that in front of everyone, Lin Aotian raised his hand slightly, he pointed his finger at the pure and beautiful girl in front of him, turned his head to look at everyone in the hall, his lips squirmed, and he only said three words, but it changed the fate of countless people-

"I want her!

......

In the hall, after such a change, this etiquette ended in such a hurry, Yang Ran was arrested, and Ji Yanran was taken away by the two maids.

So, in just a quarter of an hour, there were only two people left in the hall that was full of people just now, and of course, there was Yang Ran, a bystander.

Lin Poyun was still sitting on the main seat, his face sinking like water, and in front of him, Lin Aotian stood quietly, his expression changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Father. ”

I don't know how long it took, Lin Aotian finally opened his mouth to break the silence.

"That woman is indeed a fairy, her appearance and temperament are all extraordinary, and she is worthy of any man in the world. But you, as the son of my Lin Poyun and the future head of the Lin family, actually buried a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a woman, you disappointed me too much. Lin Poyun snorted coldly, but still didn't stand up.

Lin Aotian had already expected this, and he sighed lightly: "I'm sorry, Father, I know I've disappointed you, but if I can't get her, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life, but I promise you, only this once, in the future, I will do my best to cultivate, assist my father, and let the Lin family stand at the top of the empire!"

Lin Poyun turned around and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Do you really think there is a second chance? In this move, not only did you give up an opportunity to recruit allies, but if the Long family was left behind, then the situation of our Lin family would take a sharp turn for the worse." ”

"My son will take care of it. Lin Aotian heard the relaxation in Lin Poyun's voice, and his heart relaxed.

"That's it, today is your adult day, this time, even if you made a big mistake by being young and frivolous, I am waiting for you to make up for it with actions!"

"You won't be disappointed. Lin Aotian said with a swear.
