Chapter 263: A Clear Attitude
Lin Shu and his entourage were taken by Lin Desong to the game site for a turn, the scene was very lively, but Lin Shu glanced at it, the excitement was more than fierce enough, this was more like a grand event, not like a life-and-death duel, such a game seemed to be a little too mild, as Lin Wei said.
Lin Shu's identity is special, Nasha is an eye-catching existence, Lin Desong naturally didn't want to get into trouble, so he took Lin Shu and the others into the inner courtyard after a casual turn, which was much quieter, compared with the excitement outside the wall, it was simply two worlds.
"This is the council hall, and the head of the house and the representatives of the Council of Elders are waiting for you in the small living room on the side, wanting to meet you first. ”
"It's fine. ”
Lin Shu is okay, Lin Wei was silent, she seemed to be a little nervous, no matter what, she was still a girl in her early twenties, and she would still be nervous when she saw these patriarch-level people.
Nasha has nothing to do with herself, just holding the mentality of watching the excitement, so she looks very relaxed, twisting her head to look around, and occasionally encountering some young people in and out of the courtyard, which attracts a lot of attention.
Passing through a relatively large courtyard, seeing the big words 'diligence and thrift' hanging on the main hall, Lin Shu guessed that this should be the council hall, Lin Desong took Lin Shu through the small door on the side, bypassed the trees, and a row of very elegant buildings appeared, Lin Desong stopped.
"Mr. Wang, Miss Nasha, could you please wait here for a while, or I will have someone show you around. ”
Without waiting for Lao Wang to speak, Lin Shu preemptively said: "Lao Wang, you take care of Nasha, there are many people here." ”
Lao Wang blinked slightly regretfully and replied, "Okay." ”
"I'm sorry. Lin Desong smiled politely. To this old housekeeper. Lindson was simply cautious. This made Lao Wang feel very bored.
Lin Desong beckoned a doorman standing on the side of the courtyard gate and whispered a few words, and Lao Wang and Nasha followed the doorman to the other side.
Lin Desong led the trees along the gravel road towards the row of low buildings.
Coming to the front of the building, Lin Shu found that the scale of this building complex is not small, what they just saw was only a part, on the steps of the building facing Lin Shu, several men and women of different ages were waiting on it, according to this specification, it is quite high. However, Lin Shu didn't feel flattered, and even Lin Wei seemed very calm.
"Elders, this is Lin Shu and Lin Xiao's sister and brother, Desong's task is completed. ”
"Very well, you go down first, greet the guests. ”
"Yes, Lin Shu, then I'll say goodbye first, I'll wait for the two of you at the door later, and help you arrange accommodation. ”
"It's good. Xie Lu Xie Desong is uncle. ”
"Thank you!" Lin Wei also smiled and thanked him.
Lin Desong took a deep look at the two siblings, turned around and left.
"Lin Shu, Lin Xiao, right. Welcome home, my name is Lin Jingxin, I serve in the Eagle Hall of the Elders' Church, and I am responsible for the affairs of the young people in the clan, you can call me Elder Jingxin. This is Elder Lin Jinghui of the Zongren Hall, this is Elder Lin Jingyuan of the Discipline Hall, this is Elder Lin Jingzhong of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and the head of the family, Lin Jingtang, and the elder elder Lin Jingfeng are waiting for the two. ”
It was the middle-aged woman who looked very kind, and several others nodded with different expressions.
"Lin Shu (Lin Xiao) has seen the elders. According to the etiquette of the Xia Kingdom, the two bowed slightly, and performed the etiquette of a junior, and several elders stood on the steps and accepted the two of them in peace.
"Hehe, alright, come in. Lin Jingxin smiled very amiably.
Lin Shu stretched out his hand and pulled his sister, who seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and followed with a smile, my sister and I have lived by ourselves since we were children, and I must not like to suddenly have a lot of guys who rely on the old and sell the old in their heads, but no matter what, they are all descendants of the Lin family, as a descendant, it is also appropriate to give a little to the elders, and there is no substantial loss, so you don't have to care so much.
For Lin Shu's attitude, several elders seemed to be very satisfied, it seems that Lin Shu is not as arrogant as Lin Desong said, what happened last time may just be a little impulsive from young people, as long as Lin Shu still recognizes the authority of the Lin family's ancestors, there is no problem.
Unfortunately, they don't know anything about forest trees.
The room is very bright, but Lin Shu doesn't like this arrangement, it is said that this is just a reception room, just divide the main guest into a single order, why bother to raise a level on the main seat? Such an obvious difference in rank obviously makes the people sitting below feel inferior.
There are two seats on the main seat, and there is a desk between them, on which a round magic prop is placed, Lin Shu can see at a glance that this is a spiritual magic prop, which has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, and can also become an offensive amplification prop when activated.
There were two rows of seats on both sides, and there was a coffee table between the seats, Lin Jingxin took Lin Shu to the guest seat on the left hand side, but Lin Shu did not sit down, but stood side by side with Lin Wei and saluted to the two older elders on the seat.
"Lin Shu (Lin Yu) has seen the head of the family and the great elder. ”
The old man on the left smiled reservedly: "Don't be polite, sit down." ”
Lin Shu and Lin Wei didn't move, Lin Shu said: "Let's still stand, after sitting down, we have to tilt our heads and talk, I'm not used to it!"
"Presumptuous!"
The head of the family, Lin Jingtang, stretched out his hand to stop Lin Jingyuan, the elder of the Discipline Hall, from drinking coldly, and looked at Lin Shu with a smile, and Lin Shu and Lin Wei both looked back calmly.
"Okay, I'll sit somewhere else. ”
Lin Jingtang said, stood up from his seat, Lin Jingfeng on the other side also stood up, Lin Jingtang walked down the steps, came to the first chair on the left and sat down peacefully, and then stretched out his hand to signal Lin Shu.
Lin Shu smiled and sat on the chair across the coffee table from him, Lin Wei sat down next to Lin Shu, and the other elders were a little surprised, but they all closed their mouths and silently walked to the opposite chair and sat down.
"Lin Shu, you may be a little unaccustomed to it, the Lin family is not a citizen or a civilian, but it is more particular about the difference between the old and the young. ”
Lin Shu grinned: "The difference between the old and the young should mean respecting the old and loving the young, right? If you only use this step to distinguish it, it would be too childish." ”
"Ha Lu Ha said it well, it seems. We should get rid of all these formalities. ”
That's what I said. Why should the head of the family take it seriously. ”
Lin Shu's words made several elders stunned. It's too much to sell it if it's cheap.
Lin Jingtang squinted his eyes and thought about it, nodded and said, "You want to say that it is adapted to local conditions?"
"It's that complicated, I just don't like it, because outside, it's rare to encounter this situation, and the existence of the hierarchy itself will make people unconsciously look up or look down on others, but most of the time. We should all be level-eyed, shouldn't we? ”
"Hehe, Lin Shu deserves to be a forest tree, it is not a fluke to have such an achievement!
"I think all the elders have understood my past, and you don't know what you don't know yet, there are some things that you can't say outside, so there's nothing to worry about here. ”
"Not bad!"
"The head of the family is wondering why I got a first-class member of the Demon Research Society, and what the hell is going on with the Xuanmen, right?"
"If you can. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just things to say. Just be careful not to spread the word. ”
"And rightfully so!"
"The reason why I was recognized by the Demon Research Society is because I am in the Longling Mountain Range. I activated the Ancient Teleportation Magic Circle!"
"Huh!?"
"Ancient Teleportation Magic Array? Is this true?"
"Naturally, and soon this technique will be broken through, the material used in the ancient magic array is green jade, and the alchemy circuit material used inside is a highly permeable active alloy, and the specific formula is unknown, but it is estimated that it is related to immersion gold, ironwood, plant extraction active elixirs and the like. ”
"I understand, the Lin family will remember your credit. ”
"In addition, about Xuanmen, the matter involves the master, I can't go into detail, I can only say that Xuanmen is an ancient sect inherited from ancient times, with the goal of pursuing the unknown, basically no secular pursuit, and the ancestors are also related to Xuanmen, I can't say anything else, please understand the head of the family and the elders. ”
Lin Jingtang smiled and nodded: "I understand, I can understand, but the old ancestor is also related to the Xuanmen? ”
"In fact, there is already a clear proof of this, everyone in the Lin family is not divided into ranks, and the third article in the Xuanmen precept, 'all things are equal', doesn't it just reflect this. ”
"Ah, I see!" Although Lin Jingtang said this, he didn't necessarily really believe it, in fact, he didn't care if he believed it or not, Lin Shu didn't care.
Lin Jingtang was able to treat him with an equal attitude, Lin Shu, as a member of the Lin family, had already given an appropriate return, and Lin Shu had a clear conscience.
"I came back this time, mainly to see the Ancestor's secret room. ”
"Yes, but listening to you say that, don't you plan to go back to Xia Kingdom? If you come back, the conditions given by Xia Kingdom will definitely be good. ”
"The head of the family, I'm still a student, I won't go anywhere until I finish my studies, and to put it mildly, the Lin family in Xia Guo is a circle, I am a factor outside the plan, if I squeeze in, it will make many people uncomfortable, and more importantly, I will also be uncomfortable. If possible, I would like to open up a branch of the Lin family in the Tang Kingdom. ”
"There's no rush for the time being, after all, your studies haven't been completed yet, let's talk about this matter in the future!"
As soon as Lin Shu's eyes turned, she understood Lin Jingtang's plan, and glanced at Lin Wei, who obviously understood the doorway, but she looked at her younger brother with a smile, with an expression of letting her brother decide.
"It's okay, just listen to the head of the house. ”
"Hehe, okay, you must be very tired after a few days of traveling, rest first, tomorrow is the day to open the ancestral secret room, and I will arrange everything then, if Lin Wei wants to go, it's okay." ”
"Then Xie Lu Xie is the head of the family, and my sister naturally wants to open her eyes very much. ”
Looking at the back of Lin Shu's sister and brother leaving, Lin Jingtang, who was standing on the steps to see each other off, squinted his eyes and pondered.
"The head of the family, this Lin Shu's temper is not small, why should the head of the family give him face like that?"
"Do you know the old king who followed him?"
"Zhilu Dao, what?"
"He is a powerhouse of the eighth order, he should be either a member of the Demon Research Society or the Xuanmen, such a person is willing to follow him as an old housekeeper, what qualifications do we have to rely on the old and sell the old in front of him, if we can't treat him as an equal, do you think he will tell us those things? He said that the Demon Research Society asked for secrecy, and we didn't know anything! With this kung fu, you might as well hurry up and see if you can collect a little more money from Qingyu and other industries. ”
"Well, I know it, I'll go. ”
"Lin Shu has something to say in today's words, everyone ponder it, this little guy is more cunning than the old fox, but it is really good for the family, he can only be moved by emotion, who dares to offend Lin Shu in the future, I will not spare it, please let the elders know about it. ”
"Understood!"
"Calm down, Sister Lin Shu will leave it to you, don't go wrong. ”
"Yes!" (to be continued......)
