Chapter Fifty-Six: Falling Flowers Are Intentional
In the hall, the head of the Lin family was discussing with three or four old men, and there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting there helplessly, her face flushed.
Kong Rui hurried over, not paying attention to what they were discussing. As soon as those people saw Kong Rui, they all stopped in a hurry and got up to greet them.
Kong Rui took out the token first and said to the head of the Lin family: "This token should be Lin Wen's, you can return it to the sect in the future, but I don't know if you want it to stay in the Lin family, please ask for instructions." ”
The elders saw the sadness of the object and said, "We remembered Wen'er when we looked at this thing, let's ask Kong Xiaoyou to return to your sect, so as not to make us sad." ”
Kong Rui thought to himself, so he put the token back first, and said, "It's negligence." Then he took out the storage bag, poured out some of the things on the table, and asked, "These things are the man who looted your belongings?"
The old men saw that except for some spars, medicinal herbs, elixirs, etc., those gold, silver and jewelry were indeed his family's belongings, and immediately said: "These money and wealth are indeed my Lin family's belongings, but the others are not." ”
Kong Rui said: "Well, it just so happens that everything has been returned to the original owner." He handed the storage bag to the head of the Lin family.
How was the head of the Lin family willing to accept them all, and hurriedly excused himself: "Many things are not my Lin family's things, how can I collect them, let's ask Xiaoyou to take them!"
Kong Rui thought the same, so he poured all the things in the storage bag on the ground and spread a lot of them, and the head of the Lin family insisted that Kong Rui take away all the spars, pills, refining materials and medicinal materials inside, and stuffed him with some gold, silver and jewelry, and then agreed to accept the rest of the money.
Kong Rui felt very embarrassed, but he couldn't resist the head of the Lin family, so he had to accept it and leave in a daze.
The head of the Lin family looked at Kong Rui's departing back and said, "This son is quite scheming, but he is loyal and honest. Qian'er, if you marry him, you will not be wronged. ”
The little girl's face turned even redder with shame, and she lowered her head, her heart pounding, she really had a good impression of Kong Rui.
It turned out that even after the fall of Lin Wen, the most talented disciple in the family, the Lin family still had a glimmer of hope for the revival of the Qi Cultivation Family. This time, Kong Rui's sudden appearance captured the rickety old man in one fell swoop, and relieved the family siege, knowing that Kong Rui had at least the cultivation of a mid-stage spiritual disciple, and the elders in the family wanted to test whether Kong Rui had already married, and if there was a chance to marry him, it would definitely be possible to revive the family;
When Lin Qian saw Kong Rui for the first time, she just saw that he was quite handsome and dignified, but he didn't have any special good feelings, as soon as he heard that the elders of the clan wanted to match them, he was so ashamed that his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to speak;
The head of the Lin family said again: "Fourth, Qian'er is your daughter after all, what do you say?"
The fourth elder said: "Big brother, Kong Rui's character is really good, and he can capture that thief in one fell swoop, and his cultivation is definitely not below the mid-stage spirit disciple, I think it's okay." Let's ask Qian'er again!" He turned his head and asked Lin Qian, "Qian'er, what do you think of yourself?"
Lin Qian squirmed for a long time, and finally said: "I don't know the situation of other people." ”
The old men understood this, so they all smiled and nodded, and said to her, "All right, you can go down first! ”
Lin Qian was already so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and when she heard this, she quickly turned around and ran away.
At noon, there was only one table in the living room, because at this time, the Lin family really had no money to invite everyone to sit together, and there were only a few elders to accompany them, and let Lin Qian sit next to Kong Rui.
There was only one stewed chicken on the table, a few plates of green vegetables, but there were a lot of cold dishes, and a jar of good wine; the chicken must have been killed freshly, and the wine and cold dishes should have been purchased on the street in a hurry after getting the money, even so, it was very rich for Kong Rui.
At the dinner table, several elders kept persuading Kong Rui to drink, and asked Lin Qian to serve food for Kong Rui, and kept asking about some things about Kong Rui.
Kong Rui is not deeply involved in the world, and they all answered honestly, although those elders are not good to ask Kong Rui directly if he has a sweetheart, but Kong Rui's answer has also made those elders happy, they soon learned that Kong Rui was born poor, and now he is alone, of course, there is a great hope to recruit him.
After the meal, the head of the Lin family said: "Kong Xiaoyou will come to my Wellony for the first time, and I will let Qian'er accompany you out for a walk in a while, and also see the customs of my Wellcome." ”
Kong Rui thought that he really needed to buy something for Sister Yun, so he nodded and agreed. Lin Qian was beside her, and her face couldn't help but turn red again.
Kong Rui went to the street accompanied by Lin Qian, Kong Rui was the first time to go out alone with a strange girl, and he was embarrassed, but Lin Qian was shy and didn't dare to talk much, the two of them went around for a long time and didn't say a few words.
After walking for a while, Kong Rui was worried about buying something for Sister Yun, so he dared to ask Lin Qian, "Miss Lin, where can I sell some things for girls nearby?"
Lin Qian's heart couldn't help but jump a few times, and said, "Of course there is, I'll take Brother Kong over." After a while, he asked faintly: "Who is Brother Kong planning to buy it for?"
Kong Rui didn't hide it: "I'll buy some things for my sister Yun to go back, she won't have a chance to come out with me this time." ”
When Lin Qian heard this, she was relieved, and she no longer felt shy, and she talked more, so the two talked about Su Yun together. Knowing that Kong Rui and Su Yun had been so difficult all the way, Lin Qian couldn't help but sigh.
When he arrived at the shop that sold those girls' household goods, the guy saw that the two of them came in talking and laughing, and they were buying things for girls, so he naturally flattered the two of them, saying how talented and beautiful they were, and how naturally they were made; Lin Qian didn't feel anything when she heard this, but made Kong Rui blush.
The dinner at the Lin family was much richer, and the Lin family thanked and toasted Kong Rui one by one, Kong Rui didn't know how to excuse himself, and he didn't know how much wine he drank, but fortunately, his mana was profound and there was no big problem. Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Kong Rui asked the Lin family for a wooden box, put the rickety old man in it, and then put the wooden box into the storage bag and left.
Seeing Kong Rui's back far away, the head of the Lin family sighed and said, "Qian'er is not blessed, and my Lin family is not blessed!" Several elders silently turned around and returned home.
Kong Rui was very worried about the death of the rickety old man, so he traveled day and night, and rushed to Wuxuanzong at every opportunity. On this day, Sima He was sitting in the hall, and suddenly saw Kong Rui rushing back. He wondered in his heart: It's only been eight days, why did he come back so early?
After seeing the ceremony, Sima He asked, "Rui'er, did this trip go well?"
Kong Rui hurriedly told him what happened in the Lin family, but he didn't dare to mention that there was also a lot of autumn wind in the Lin family, so he immediately handed over the token to Sima He, and released the rickety old man from the box.
Seeing that the rickety old man was already dying, but there was no serious danger to his life, Sima He didn't care about him, and said to Kong Rui: "Rui'er, this is also a credit, but you must not go back to your house to get things in the short term, but you have to keep it in mind." When the time comes, the teacher will naturally send you back. ”
Kong Rui hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then pointed to the half-dead rickety old man and asked, "Master, what should he do?"
Sima He said: "The rest of the things are left to the teacher, you go down to rest first!" After speaking, he rolled up the rickety old man and walked out of the hall with Kong Rui, and he himself broke through the air and went to the Wanshi Hall.
