Depressed little landlord

It's night, although the town is bigger than the village, and the population is many times larger, but as soon as it gets dark, the two places are almost the same, except for a few people, most of them turn off their lights and rest.

But now it's summer, the days are getting longer, and the sky begins to get hazy after the west. By the time Lin Xuan and the others returned to Lin's house, it was the end of Xu time. At this time, the streets were already very quiet and deserted. It's not very far to Lin's house, and halfway through the gate of the Yamen, besides, the town is quite peaceful, at least halfway robbery is relatively rare.

The road is not far away, but Douding, who seldom stays up late, has already fallen asleep. Even when Xu Yang hugged him with one hand and knocked on the door when he reached the ground, he still didn't wake up. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired today?

The concierge came to open the door with a low murmur, opened his dim eyes, and yawned. After realizing that the person outside the door was the young master who just came to the door today, he closed his half-yawned mouth, "Master, young master!" came back."

Lin Xuan responded lightly: "Well, have Second Uncle and the others rested yet?"

"Small, I don't know about the small ones. Ah, Eldest Young Master, please come in! Have Eldest Young Masters eaten? Why don't you ask someone to prepare for the younger ones..."

"No need." Lin Xuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Go and rest, we can do it ourselves."

The concierge had to stop when he heard that, thinking about the scene during the day, he was still a little uneasy, and after thinking for a while, he said courteously: "It's dark, why don't you bring a lantern for some of you?"

I don't know if his voice was a little louder. Lin Xun, who was lying quietly on his stomach, suddenly groaned and moved his head. Xu Yang hurriedly raised his hand to pat him on the back, glanced at the porter, and said in a low voice. Said: "No problem, I can still see the road."

Lin Xuan also looked at the lanterns hanging farther away, and rejected his kindness, "Our room is not far from here, we will be there in a while, it is getting late, you should go back and rest, there is still time tomorrow busy."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying. The concierge watched them go away until the figures of the two disappeared into the dark night and could no longer be seen. sounded.

"Hmph! What the hell? Do you really think you are the young master? If Madam didn't tell me, who would wait here at night?..."

While thinking about it, he yawned and turned around to close the door.

"Tomorrow is Xiang'er's big day, why can't you rest for a while? When will you come back?"

Here, Lin Er has just returned to his room, and he did not expect Mrs. Lin Er to be asleep, so he was yelled at as soon as he entered the door.

Lin Er is really in a bad mood today, and even now, when he thinks of his eldest nephew, he feels uneasy, and now he wants to rest when he goes back to his room, and his wife is nagging there again, so he feels uneasy.

"Okay, isn't this coming back?" Lin Er was so annoyed that his face darkened, and suddenly he was a little annoyed. There are still a few rooms where other people's homes can choose to sleep. If he doesn't come, he will have to sleep in an empty room... , the footsteps involuntarily paused, and his face was thoughtful.

Mrs. Lin didn't notice his thoughts, but seeing his face turned ugly again, she thought he was still angry about Lin Xuan and the others, she couldn't help sighing, and said softly: "Master, I know You are not happy because of Xuan'er's matter, but after all, our Xiang'er's big day will be soon, if there is trouble at this time, won't it be a joke for others to see?"

While talking, she got up and walked over slowly, helped him to the edge of the bed and sat down, went to the bed and half-kneeled behind him, pressed his shoulders rhythmically, and continued to persuade: "I know that this matter of Xuan'er made the master You lost face, the master taught me the same thing, but it can't be too much, outsiders also know that the master has taught me the lesson, but it's not that everyone knows the temper of that child Xuan'er. It's still the same after more than ten years, right? When the eldest brother and sister-in-law were around, they learned a lot."

"It's because of his temperament that I'm even more angry..."

"Yes." Seeing that his words were still a little aggressive, but her complexion had softened a lot, Mrs. Lin continued to persuade softly: "That's why I don't object to the master teaching Xuan'er and the others, it's all for their own good, but today There is something wrong with the master." Seeing that his face changed again, he quickly said: "Tomorrow is Xiang'er's big day, the family must have a lot of eyes and mouths these days, and today the master reprimanded people outside must I already know, but it would be inappropriate for the master to eat."

"The fault is Xuan'er and the others. No matter whether we admit that he is our family member or not, they have already paid homage to marriage. That is the hard fact. But the master won't let Xiang'er come out. Wouldn't it be said by then? Is it because Xiang'er is ignorant? Master, you don't know, if this matter gets to the third mouth, what you say will be very different, do you still want Xiang'er to live a good life in Liu's house?"

"It's not as serious as you said?"

Mrs. Lin Er cast a reproachful glance at Lin Er, and poked his shoulder with her slender fingers, "How do you men understand this? Anyway, for the sake of our Xiang'er, master, please bear with it for now."

I don't know if it was because of the poke, or because the lady whispered closer to the ear, Lin Er felt that his body softened, and his body and mind became a little more comfortable. Opened, grabbed the finger that poked him a little distractedly with his backhand, and slowly kneaded it.

"Then listen to Madam for the time being. It's getting late. Let's rest early, get up early and get ready to welcome our good young master."

"Hey~"

As soon as he turned off the light and lay down, he suddenly remembered something, Lin Er rolled over from the opponent's body again, calmed down and asked anxiously: "Did Xiaoxuan and the others go to the east room today?"

"Huh? I went, saying I want to go and have a look."

"Oh, stupid!"

"What's the matter? Is there any treasure in there?"

"There... oh, forget it, don't ask, let me ask you, did they have anything when they came out?"

"Things?" Mrs. Lin was taken aback, "I don't know about this, they went out as soon as they came out, but you can ask the waiter, hey? Where are you going?"

"Go to bed first, I'll come when I go." After Lin Er finished speaking, he didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he hurried out in his inner clothes. Mrs. Lin Er hurriedly chased after a few steps, but just when she was about to reach the door, she realized that she was now dressed Disorganized, she stopped in a hurry, and when she hurriedly pulled off a coat, Lin Erzao had disappeared and had no choice but to return.

***

The next day, before dawn in the Lin residence, the servants began to get busy, and Mrs. Lin Er also came to Lin Xianger's room early.

Lin Xuan and the others only got up when it was dawn, but they just went to the front to say good morning to Lin Er and the others, then came back and continued to stay in the small courtyard where they lived temporarily, thinking that they should wait until the guests came to the door before going out, so as not to get in the way in the eyes of others.

Although Lin Er had listened to Mrs. Lin Er's persuasion last night, and Lin Er no longer targeted Xu Yang, his face still involuntarily sank when he saw the person, and thinking that they might have taken something from the East Room yesterday, his mood became even worse. Fortunately, he still remembered that today was his daughter's big day, and he didn't want to show jokes to outsiders, so he reluctantly suppressed it. Seeing that Lin Xuan and the others were so sensible, and never wavered in front of their eyes, he felt a little satisfied.

The guests came gradually, and Lin Er also slowly let go of Lin Xuan's unhappiness, and went forward to greet them with a smile on his face. Listening to the butler's libretto from the gate, the guests who came later were more surprised. Someone also came to the house, which made Lin Er and his wife almost unable to close their mouths with joy.

"Congratulations to Second Master Lin, I wish Eldest Miss Lin and Young Master Liu a happy marriage for a hundred years. Unfortunately, my father has something to do, so I specially congratulated him with Ling, and hope that Second Master Lin will be happy."

Qi Ling smiled and congratulated Lin Er and his wife. Xiang Qing, who was next to him, also handed the congratulatory gift to the housekeeper, and then congratulated the two of them.

Although Lin Er was a little disappointed that it wasn't Mr. Qi who came, he still paid great respect to Qi Ling: "It's a great honor for Mr. Lin to be able to come, Mr. Sixth Qi! It's also my daughter's honor, Mr. Qi please come inside."

"Please."

Qi Ling slightly turned sideways and took a small step behind, thinking that Lin Er didn't know whether he was in a daze or he was too excited for the Qi family who had been scorning him before to come to this wedding suddenly and forgot to react for a while, so he didn't move.

Most of the guests who came before were still in the yard, talking in twos and threes. When they heard that the Qi family was coming, most of them looked towards the gate, so everyone was looking at this side.

Xiang Qing, who was left out intentionally or unintentionally, didn't care, but after seeing his loved one's ear tip turned slightly red under the attention of so many people, he poked his back indistinctly to signal him to go in. Fortunately, the two stood together. Get closer, and other people can't see this small movement.

After being poked by him like this, Qi Ling also felt a little tired from stretching out his hand all the time, so he said it again with his smile unchanged, and then took the lead in walking in.

Fortunately, Lin Er finally regained his senses when he made the sound, and reflexively followed him, so in the eyes of others, the two walked in together.

The people who came had different thoughts, but when the two passed by, no matter whether Qi Ling knew him or not, they were all greeted with a smile, and he kept smiling and responded one by one.

After they entered the room, the guests began to discuss in low voices.

"The Qi family is here too..."

"Is that news true?"

"You mean that Lin Er approached the Qi family and wanted to cooperate?"

"No, but at the time I heard that the Qi family ignored it, but now it seems..."

"If Lin Er climbs up to the Qi family again, is he thinking of becoming big like his brother?"

"Hard to say."

"Isn't your family close to him? I heard that you are almost getting married... Let everyone hear some news? What is he trying to do?"

The face of the person being asked turned red, and under the gaze of most people, he sighed hesitantly, "If I know this, will I still guess with you here? Also, don't bring up the in-laws again. What nonsense? Today is a happy day for others, so don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense..."

"Shh~ stop arguing, isn't that the young master of the Lin family? I didn't expect it to come."

"What day is it today? Can people not come? There's no fuss about it."

"That's right! But I heard that as soon as he came yesterday, Lin Er became very angry and almost didn't make a move."

"Tsk! This is going to be put on my kid, and I'm sure it will break his dog's legs."

"Cut! You're just talking big, according to your baby, are you willing?"

"you--"

Seeing that the topic finally changed, the man walked away in a hurry. He was secretly relieved, and a little depressed. He complained a little about his mother-in-law. If it hadn't been for his own initiative, he said that he wanted to marry the Lin family. Fortunately, the second lady Lin refused at that time. Otherwise, when Lin Er comes, there will be no room for his face. Looking at the in-laws he is married to now, how can he be valued by such a small family?

Lin Xuan and the others looked at the sky and guessed that the hour was coming, so they tidied things up before coming out. It happened that Qi Ling Xiangqing and the others had just arrived, and when the people around Qi Ling had dispersed, Lin Xuan and the others walked over.

"Qi Ling is not bad, everyone is around you." Taking advantage of others not paying attention, Lin Xuan joked in a low voice.

Qi Ling smiled wryly after hearing this, but fortunately they were standing in the corner now, and his back was facing the outside, so no one else could see, "Xiaoxuan, don't make fun of me, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have accepted this matter, It shouldn't be me in the first place, and I don't know what dad is thinking."

Thinking of what his father said when he asked him to talk before, he couldn't help but smiled wryly again. Looking at Lin Xuan, he felt a little guilty, and opened his mouth, "I..."

"Huh?" Lin Xuan was puzzled, Xiang Qing and Xu Yang also looked over, Qi Ling couldn't speak anymore, his face was slightly red.

"No, it's nothing, we'll talk about it next time." Qi Ling glanced around, and changed the subject slightly stiffly: "You come out like this, so will you go see your sister off later?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "I don't know, no one came to tell me anyway, and," Lin Xuan shrugged, said nonchalantly, "That's fine, there are too many people, I'm afraid Xun'er will be scared. "

Qi Ling looked down at the same line of sight to Qing, no, Lin Xun was very quiet this time, not lively in the village or with them at all, his little hands kept holding Xu Yang and Lin Xuan tightly, whenever someone came to say hello to them While speaking, he hid behind the two of them.

Xiang Qing bumped Xu Yang with his shoulder and made him pay attention to his surroundings with winks. Those people thought they were hiding, but everyone knew that they gathered together and whispered, nothing more than talking about them.

Xu Yang glanced around casually, he knew all the people here, some of them nodded friendly and polite when they met him, while some were not polite, showed a wretched smile, or just ignored them, they all thought he climbed up to the master The bed is gone, but the status is still the same as before, how can it be qualified to be compared with them?

Looking at Lin Xuan more, it was mocking. Xu Yang's face slowly sank. Suddenly, someone pinched his palm. He looked back, and saw the man smiled at him, blinked mischievously, and then the palm of his hand came back again. After being scratched by him, he couldn't help but smile immediately, he tightened his hands and held him for a while before letting go, then he looked down at Douding standing between them, and simply bent over to hold him Hold him up, and when everyone squeezes in, don't squeeze him.

"We'll go home after dinner."

As soon as he picked up Douding, he heard his words. Xu Yang straightened Douding's clothes and looked at Lin Xuan and responded softly.

"Well, okay, Xun'er wait a little longer, we'll go home right away."

Lin Xun's eyes widened and he nodded vigorously. Perhaps because of the difference in height, he also began to look around slowly, until the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the gate, followed by the faint sound of suona, followed by the butler and shouted loudly in surprise: " Here we come! Here we come! The sedan chair is here!"

"congratulations!"

The guests who had gathered together to talk congratulated Lin Er and his wife again loudly. Lin Er also laughed loudly with joy, and Mrs. Lin Er also wept with joy. He stopped, sat back in the main seat under the persuasion of the servants, and waited quietly for the groom to enter the door.

Because Liu's family is in Fucheng, this time Liu Xuzhou came to pick up the bride to go there to worship and get married. According to the rules, it is not necessary to do it at the Lin family, but the journey is relatively long, and Lin Xiang'er is the only daughter of the Lin family. To show how much the Liu family attaches importance to Lin Er and his family, the Lin family will also do it once. However, in order to hurry, the couple didn't stay for long. They just asked the groom to toast the guests before taking the bride to Fucheng.

So the banquet at the Lin family opened earlier, and when Lin Xuan and the others returned home, it was just after noon, but the family was in a panic as soon as they got home.
