The stepson of the Lin family of the Red Chamber

Gu Fulan: "..."

What is almost unrecognizable, is it completely unrecognizable?

She has indeed changed a lot this year. She can clearly feel that her brows and eyes have grown a lot compared to last year. Apart from being a little green, she looks no different from an adult.

Lin Yao hadn't been in Beijing for a year, so she didn't recognize her when they first met, that's normal.

"Sister Lan is indeed more beautiful the longer she grows. If I didn't see you every day, I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize you." Daiyu patted Lin Yao's arm with a smile, "Sister Lan is both talented and beautiful, but Beijing One of the famous talented women in the world, if she hadn't settled for someone else, the threshold of the Gu family would have been broken by now."

Lin Yao suddenly remembered that Daiyu asked him to be more considerate of Gu Fulan yesterday, and it turned out that this was the crux of the matter.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, the beauty already has a marriage contract, why didn't they propose marriage earlier? Now it's cheaper for me." Lin Yao said with a smile.

Gu Fulan's cheeks were reddish, she didn't dare to look at Lin Yao.

But I thought in my heart, why didn't I find Brother Lin's mouth so sweet before?

Daiyu looked at Lin Yao with a smile on her face, but she was surprised in her heart.

Brother actually got the hang of it! !

What a cycad blossom!

"Sister Gu came to Guangji Temple by herself?" Lin Yao noticed that Gu Fulan was only accompanied by the maid named Yuya, and there was no one else besides her.

It's not safe to go out alone with only one maid, right?

Gu Fulan smiled and said, "I didn't come alone. I came with my second sister-in-law. It's just that my second sister-in-law got motion sickness. When she arrived at Guangji Temple, she felt very uncomfortable. She already went to the Zen room to rest."

"Motion sickness? Although it's not a serious illness, it's really uncomfortable." Lin Yao also got seasick at the beginning, and when she headed back to the Lin Mansion, she vomited so faintly that half her life died.

However, after he practiced martial arts, his body became much stronger. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable on the boat, he was no longer so dizzy from vomiting.

"Exactly, I know that my second sister-in-law is motion sick. I originally wanted to come alone, but my second sister-in-law is worried that I will be alone. My mother and elder sister-in-law are busy with the New Year ceremony. I can't hold back my second sister-in-law, so I can only agree." " Gu Fulan felt very uncomfortable seeing her second sister-in-law's face pale due to motion sickness.

Lin Yao frowned slightly when she heard this, "You are a girl, and you should not go out casually by yourself. Although the capital is under the foot of the emperor, there are also some daring villains. If you are targeted by others, how can you, a weak woman, get away? ?”

Gu Fulan said, "I'm not going out secretly alone, I will bring the servants and maids in the house with me."

"I remember that a few years ago, you ran out secretly by yourself, and you were almost bullied."

Gu Fulan was at a loss for words, her face blushed, and she argued, "This is all an old story."

"Since the second sister-in-law of the Gu family is not feeling well, why don't we go and see her together?" Seeing that they were speaking more and more smoothly, Daiyu felt a little relieved.

My brother is not stupid either.

"Second sister-in-law just fell asleep, so I took Yuya out for a walk. I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you in Duobao Hall." Gu Fulan didn't tell her sister-in-law about her plan with Daiyu, and she didn't dare to let Lin Yao He and Daiyu went to see her second sister-in-law.

Lin Yao saw that there was something wrong with Gu Fulan's mood, and remembered that Daiyu insisted on having him accompany her to Guangji Temple to fulfill her wish yesterday, and by such a coincidence, she met Gu Fulan who came to Guangji Temple on the same day, hearing Gu Fulan's meaning, she still wanted to be alone here.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, what is she doing at Guangji Temple alone?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility. She and Daiyu have already made an appointment.

But Daiyu insisted on calling him...

Either Daiyu made her own decision, or the two girls agreed to lure him to meet at Guangji Temple.

What nonsense.

"There are people coming and going from Guangji Monastery. It's not safe for you to bring a maid by yourself. Why don't you come with us?" Lin Yao invited after thinking for a while.

Now that they met, Gu Fulan only brought a maid with her, and it's not good to let her go out like this.

Daiyu on the side rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and suddenly said, "I'm a little tired after walking around for a while, why don't I let Sister Lan accompany my brother to walk around, Yuya took me to find Second Grandma Gu, and I happened to have a rest too .”

Lin Yao turned her head and looked at Daiyu, who blinked at him.

"..." This one!

Gu Fulan could naturally see that Daiyu deliberately let the two of them be alone, she felt a little shy, but...she couldn't refuse.

After being engaged for one or two years, she and Lin Yao met only a handful of times. This year, Lin Yao even went to Yangzhou, and there was no news for the whole year. The Lin family sent a lot of things in Lin Yao's name, but Mrs. Gu Fulan I don't think those haircuts, jewelry, and accessories are like gifts that Lin Yao would prepare.

Since Lin Yao was willing to give her a gift, why didn't she write a greeting letter?

Most of those things were given to her by the Lin family in the name of Lin Yao.

Daiyu took Yuya and left the Duobao Hall happily. Under the corridor of the Duobao Hall, the young man was handsome and the girl was young and beautiful. Standing together was quite right.

"Is there any place my sister wants to go?" Lin Yao asked thoughtfully.

Gu Fulan was a little embarrassed at the beginning, seeing Lin Yao's expression was indifferent, and most of the nervousness and shyness in her heart were reduced. Hearing this, she thought about it and remembered that there was a plum grove behind Guangji Temple Mountain. Now is the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom. , you should be able to see the beauty of the plum blossoms.

"There is a plum grove on the back mountain of Guangji Temple. Brother Lin, do you want to go and see it?"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "If you want to go, then go."

"Then let's go have a look together."

The two walked towards the back mountain together, and they met Lin Ying and his wife within a short distance.

Lin Ying didn't expect that Daiyu who was beside Lin Yao disappeared after a while, but a beautiful girl appeared instead.

Just as he was wondering, he heard his wife say, "Isn't that a girl from the Gu family?"

"Miss Gu?"

"Your brother's fiancée is a girl from the Gu family." Shen reminded.

Lin Ying was stunned, no wonder he didn't recognize her, Gu Fulan was from a girl's family, they basically didn't know each other, it's normal that they didn't recognize each other.

When Lin Yao saw Lin Ying and his wife, she originally wanted to avoid them, but seeing that Lin Ying and his wife had already seen them, she had no choice but to bring Gu Fulan forward to greet them.

After meeting Li, Lin Ying looked at Lin Yao teasingly, "Ah Yao has also grown up."

Knowing to find my sister as a cover, I asked my fiancee out to meet.

Lin Yao heard the teasing in Lin Ying's words, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Second brother was joking, didn't I grow up long ago?"

"Yes, yes, you have grown up a long time ago." Lin Ying paused, recalled something, and then said, "By the way, I heard that the elder of the Qin family is ill and is in very bad condition. If you have time, go have a look."

The grand master of the Qin family?

Lin Yao didn't react at first, but when Lin Ying asked him to take a look, she instantly understood.

This elder of the Qin family is Qin Yuxing's elder brother Qin, Qin Yuxuan.

Qin Yuxing was 19 years younger than his eldest brother. When he was born, Qin Yuxuan had been married for two or three years, and his sister-in-law Xie was pregnant. Qin Yuxing was only a few months older than his eldest nephew.

Since he was a child, he was almost brought up by his elder brother and sister-in-law, named brother and sister-in-law. In fact, the status of elder brother and sister-in-law in Qin Yuxing's heart surpassed that of his father and mother.

Suddenly hearing from Lin Ying that Master Qin was seriously ill, Lin Yao felt a little uneasy.

"I'll take a look tomorrow."

Lin Ying nodded and didn't say anything else. He just met Lin Yao and mentioned it in passing. After all, Qin Yuxing is Lin Yao's teacher, and the relationship between master and apprentice is very good. Qin Yuxing almost treats Lin Yao as half his son. If Qin Yuxuan really has something No, Qin Yuxing is not in the capital, so it is reasonable for Lin Yao to visit Yi Er on behalf of his teacher.

"My wife is pregnant with Liujia, so it's inconvenient to stay outside for a long time, so we will go home first."

"I will meet you at the second brother's house another day."

"Then you must come."

Lin Ying helped Mrs. Shen walk away slowly, Lin Yao felt emotionally, his second elder brother had come through all hardships and truly had his own home.

"Master Lin is so kind to her wife." She even accompanied her to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. I heard that she has never blushed in four or five years of marriage. There is not even a roommate in Lin Ying's house. He, he has always been with Shen.

Shen's life is really good.

Lin Yao heard the envy in Gu Fulan's words, blinked her eyes, turned her head to look at her, and asked softly, "What's so good about it?"

"Master Lin and his wife have been married for four or five years, and they have always been loving couples. There is not a single room in Master Lin's house, even if his wife is pregnant...he also does not take concubines, and today he specially accompanied him to the temple to offer incense. Well, Mr. Lin has been supporting his wife all the time, for fear that something will happen to her." Gu Fulan opened the chatter box, unable to hide her envy at all.

Which woman in the world doesn't expect her husband to be gentle and considerate to her, wholeheartedly, without any second thoughts?

Lin Yao thought about it.

As for Gu Fulan's words just now, she just subconsciously said what was in her heart, and when she realized it, she couldn't take back the words.

Lin Yao's long silence made Gu Fulan feel uneasy.

She knew in her heart that Lin Yao didn't have any affection for her. Although she didn't understand what was wrong with her, she never thought of forcing Lin Yao to give her an equal response.

It's just... She also felt uncomfortable when she didn't get any response after her long-term efforts.

"Sister, don't be envious of other people. Do you know that you won't live better than her in the future?" Lin Yao came back to her senses, and saw Gu Fulan standing next to him anxiously, her heart softened, and she whispered softly.

Gu Fulan was stunned when she heard the words, "Brother Lin?"

Is that what she thought?

"I went to Yangzhou to study this year. I didn't intend to avoid you. Next year is the big competition. I intend to win the championship, but I still have shortcomings. You also know who my teacher is. Mr. Qin Fu is also very kind to me. I have spent most of this year studying with Mr. Qin. Before returning to Beijing, Mr. Qin took the exam for more than a month before I was satisfied. At that time, your second brother had already returned to Beijing by boat, and I rode on the road by myself, so I was better than your second brother. Arrive in Beijing early."

Realizing that she was talking further and further away, Lin Yao paused and changed the topic, "You are my unmarried wife, and I am not a lustful person. There are many loving couples in the world, but not everyone is like my second brother and second brother." Like sisters-in-law, we have our destiny. I can promise you that you will be the only one in this life, and you will never take a concubine."

I haven't seen her for a year, and although Gu Fulan is still a little green with long eyebrows, she no longer looks like a child. The guilt in Lin Yao's heart dissipated when she knew that the beautiful girl was Gu Fulan.

He definitely didn't feel guilty because Gu Fulan became more beautiful after his brows and eyes opened.

Absolutely not!

Well, people with good looks will always make people feel a little more favorable. Isn't this human nature?

Gu Fulan didn't expect that asking Daiyu to ask Lin Yao out to plan a chance encounter this time would have such a big harvest.

She felt very early on that Lin Yao's attitude towards her was very strange, she wanted to get close but deliberately kept a distance, which was extremely contradictory.

Because she knew that Daiyu and Lin Yao had a good relationship, she intentionally told Daiyu's words, and then she knew that Lin Yao treated her like a child.

Although she was indeed young at the time, Lin Yao coaxed her like a child, which still shocked her quite a bit.

This time when she asked Lin Yao out, she wanted to break Lin Yao's inherent impression of her and let him know that she was no longer a child.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yao would promise her never to take a concubine.

is this real?

Isn't she dreaming?

Just as I was about to say something, a maid came running from a distance, and said urgently, "Master, something happened!"
