Chapter 13 A Marriage

Chapter 13 A Marriage

Soon, when she came to Lin Qingyin's office, the afterglow of the setting sun slanted in through the window and reflected on her face, it was beautiful.

"sit down."

She gestured to me and Qin Miaoxue.

Although Qin Miaoxue came from a wealthy family, she was a little reserved in front of Lin Qingyin. This was Lin Qingyin's charisma.

Then, she personally poured water for us, which flattered Qin Miaoxue and me, and said in unison: "Thank you, Aunt Lin."

I took the water and took a sip lightly, not knowing how to speak.

Instead, she pointed to Qin Miaoxue and asked me: "Who is she to you?"

I hurriedly told her: "I came to Yangzhou to meet a friend, her name is Qin Miaoxue."

Lin Qingyin nodded, as if she had confirmed something, with a smile on her face, she said, "I thought you were my wife."

I scratched my head shyly.

Qin Miaoxue blushed a little.

She paused and asked me, "Did you get what your father left?"

"Hmm." I nodded.

She also nodded and said to Qin Miaoxue after thinking about it for a while: "Sister Miaoxue, Xiao Chuan has something that is inconvenient for you to be present, you go back first, I will invite you to dinner together some other day."

Qin Miaoxue generally knew about my background, so she didn't think too much about it at this time, "Okay, Aunt Lin."

Afterwards, she gestured to me to make a phone call, and then left.

After Qin Miaoxue left, Aunt Lin showed a serious look on her face, and then asked me: "Why are you looking for me now?"

I answered truthfully: "I only got my father's stuff in a few days."

She looked stunned and said, "As long as you are not married, it's not too late."

I do not know what to say.

Then, she became serious and said: "Since you came to me, it proves that you already know everything and made a choice at the same time. However, I will ask you for the last time, have you decided?"

I didn't hesitate at all on this question, and nodded: "It's decided."

She nodded emphatically.

Then he took four envelopes from the safe and said to me, "Now, you can smash that thing."

I was a little nervous because, I had no idea what it was or how it happened, but I did it anyway.

I took out the brocade box from my shoulder bag, opened it and fell to the ground without looking at it first.

With a bang, many things were scattered on the ground.

I fixed my eyes and saw that besides a tortoise shell on the ground, there were four petals falling around the tortoise shell in a haphazard manner.

Whisk is a bamboo product, used for divination, shaped like animal teeth.

Divination is also mentioned in Yin-Yang Shu, but not much is said about it. I just understand it, not too much, so I only know that the tortoise shells and bamboo sticks scattered on the ground present a hexagram. I don't know.

Aunt Lin stared at the hexagram for a while, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

This made me even more nervous, and my heart was sweating very quickly.

"It turned out to be her, why not Yiting."

She muttered, found one of the four envelopes, and opened it to read.

At this time, I saw that there was a name written on each of the four envelopes, namely: Lin Yiting, Li Qin, Su Yao, and Zhao Qiuyue.

What Aunt Lin opened was the envelope with Su Yao's name written on it.

There was a piece of paper inside, and she didn't know what it was written on. After reading it carefully, she said to herself: "That's right, but this is a bit difficult."

After she finished reading, put away the envelope, and signaled me to put away the tortoise shell and whisk, I asked, "Aunt Lin, what's going on?"

She paused for a while, and then told me: "Your father told me that if you want to get rid of your grandfather's arrangement, the first step is to marry another girl. This is the most basic requirement. Flaws, yin and yang complement each other, after breaking away from your grandfather's arrangement, find a chance to change your life on this basis."

"There were four candidates before. Now, after reading the hexagrams, the final candidate is determined. It is her, Su Yao."

Aunt Lin shook the envelope with Su Yao's name on it.

After thinking about it, I never thought it was a marriage. At that time, I was at a loss and didn't have any claims. I just asked with some worry: "does Su Yao know about this? Does she agree? "

Aunt Lin sighed: "the other three are easy to talk about, but Su Yao is not easy to deal with. She doesn't know yet, and the chance of agreeing is not high."

"Because she is the eldest daughter of the Su family, the Su family is a big family that can be ranked in the top [-] in Yangzhou, and she has outstanding abilities, and she is one of the four famous beauties in Yangzhou, with a halo on her head, Gathering thousands of honors in one body, do you think she will bow down and marry you?"

I am a bit timid at this moment because of low self-esteem, but I secretly told myself that nothing is impossible, I am the best.

Mustering up the courage to be confident, after I thought about it seriously, because there was something I didn't understand, I couldn't help but ask: "Since she is so noble, why did my dad regard her as one of the candidates, and why not someone else?"

Aunt Lin explained: "Why not someone else? Naturally, it is because her life needs to complement yours. Of course, it's not your father's wishful thinking. One is that it is very difficult to find such a life. Besides, your father saved her grandfather back then. One life, your dad gave her a white note, asking her grandfather to owe a favor first, so your dad wants to exchange this favor."

"At that time, I just kept a hand in it, and your father thought it was unlikely that it was Su Yao, but I didn't expect to bump into her just by chance."

I understand.

At the same time, I found that my dad seemed to have arranged for me a long time ago.

I couldn't help but ask myself, is this the way I want to go?

Break away from grandpa's arrangement, but live in father's arrangement.

But I didn't rebel because of this, because I knew that my father was doing it for my own good and would not harm me. At the same time, what my father arranged was also what I wanted-to change my life against the sky.

Putting away my thoughts, thinking of my father's explanation, I said, "Aunt Lin, my father has something for me to tell you personally."

She was slightly taken aback.

I collected myself, looked at Aunt Lin and said solemnly: "I once loved you."

Her body trembled slightly, but her expression didn't change much, she didn't know whether it was happiness or sadness.

But I could feel that she was definitely not at peace.

After a while, she squeezed out a smile, wiped my head, and said with a bit of helplessness in her tone, "My child, Aunt Lin knows."

I do not know what to say.

After thinking about it, I asked a question that had been on my mind for many years: "Aunt Lin, is my dad really dead? When was the last time you saw him?"

Aunt Lin fell into memories.

A little, she said to me: "Your father is very likely to be dead, but it is also possible that he is not dead."

It is possible not to die!
I couldn't help trembling. For me, who has no parents or mother for more than ten years, seeing hope suddenly has a great impact on my heart.

I couldn't help asking: "If he is not dead, where is it?"

Aunt Lin was silent.

Her silence made the whole office feel indifferent.

I realized something and stared at her longingly: "I really want to know."

She thought about it for a long time, and then said: "You have the right to know the truth, but I really don't want to tell you, because you have already carried too much."

I squeezed out a smile, with firm eyes: "Aunt Lin, you see that I am already like this, what else can I not bear?"

She was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and then said: "14 years ago, your father fought with the Maoshan traitor Wu Daochong at the mouth of the Yangtze River in order to prevent a big conspiracy. gone."

I couldn't help but said, "So, my dad was beaten to death?"

Aunt Lin nodded.

At this moment, my mood was extremely complicated, and hatred arose spontaneously.

People of metaphysics cannot use metaphysics or shamanism to calculate close relatives, as my father explained.

And after I entered this way, I also knew this rule. If I did this, the spells in the future would not work, and the way would be weakened.

So I don't dare to predict my own fate, at most it's just temporary luck.

I dare not speculate whether Dad is dead or alive.

But he fell into the river and disappeared, basically dead.

I couldn't help clenching my fist tighter and tighter, and I swore secretly that I would not take revenge, and I would not be a human being.
