[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

The following teaching is proceeding according to the plan.Wu Xie's ability to accept ancient characters is relatively good. After consulting the opinions of the two girls, he and his second uncle exchanged a lot of questions about ancient book rubbings.Afterwards, he asked the girls about the remuneration, but Jiang Lin didn't ask for anything, saying that it was a matter of little effort.Ye Mei thought about it, and only proposed to go to the ancient books section of the Provincial Library to find more materials, and did not ask for any real reward.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, their tasks have increased, and the classes on the other side have to be suspended.After being dragged by Ye Ting to shoot a promotional video, she went back to the old house again.

The old man was the same as before, except for a simple explanation to let her always remember the Jiang family's admonition, there was nothing extra.Holding the warm teacup in his hand, Jiang Lin took out a square wooden box and handed it over before Jiang Xianya could speak again.

"Grandfather, I'd better give this back to you, it's not suitable for me to hold it."

Jiang Xianya understood what was in that box almost instantly. Looking at the young granddaughter in front of him, he thought of another familiar figure. After a long silence, the old man waved his hand.

"You take it. Originally, this thing was passed down from generation to generation. Back then, your mother—in short, keep it well. I can rest assured that way."

Jiang Lin was a little surprised.After staying in the Jiang family for so many years, except for the necessary communication, this serious old man has never mentioned Jiang Yu to her in private.She even once doubted whether the mother was his child, but the mother had indeed broken ties with the Jiang family before, and even married a squib, something Jiang Xianya would never agree to.

"Also, after you get married, this ginger stone will be passed on to your children. This year you will be [-], so you can get engaged. Is there anyone you like?" the old man asked suddenly.

Jiang Lin seemed a little at a loss. Her grandfather had mentioned the engagement before, but she didn't expect it to start so soon.Fortunately, although the engagement was early, it is no problem to get married a few years later.the person I like?She was stunned, grasping and loosening the box in her hand: "Grandfather, can I choose the person I like, even if he is not a wizard?"

Jiang Xianya raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the round-headed stick in his hand was lightly pestered twice on the ground: "Yes, it is fine, as long as it is not a squib like your father. The Jiang family can't lose anyone again." gone."

"I don't think it's embarrassing that my father is a Squib. As for the person I like, I don't have one right now. You can decide everything." As long as her father was involved, the atmosphere would become sharp, and she didn't want to explain anything, I just agreed lazily.

Jiang Xianya coughed twice, and waved a piece of yellowed letterhead on the table. Jiang Lin opened it at the other party's gesture and looked at it. There were a few unfamiliar names on it, but the surnames basically had a lot of background.

Xu Yan, the eldest son of the Si family, Ren Hui, the youngest son of the Ren family, and Chen Mulou of the Yao family, are all big families that she knows closely with the Jiang family.I think my mother resolutely stayed with my father because she didn't want to find someone who would be with her for the rest of her life on a thin piece of paper like this.However, she is not as decisive as her mother, nor as brave as her father.Jiang Lin was not afraid of leaving the Jiang family. What she was really worried about was seeing people around her have accidents because of her.

Live well, this is the most important thing.

"Xu Yan is four years older than you, and Chen Mulou is about the same age as you. Both of them have good family aptitude. It's just that their mother passed away early. If you get married, I'm afraid you will have more things to worry about. Are you satisfied?"

Jiang Lin thought for a while and said, "I want to meet Mr. Xu first."

The old man sitting on the rosewood chair was a little surprised. He thought the girl would be disgusted by these things, but he didn't expect to agree so soon.Jiang Lin has always given him the feeling that she is very similar to her mother, but in the final analysis, the two are different. Jiang Yu is too strong. Even if he receives gifts from her every year on his birthday, he will never again if he says he has severed ties with him. look back.And Jiang Lin is forbearing, she will not express her demands too fiercely.In this way, she suffered a lot of grievances.Thinking about it carefully, this child has lived an unstable life since she was a child, and she will not fight hard for what she wants like other children of the same age.

"It's simple. It just so happens that Xu Yan is resting these few days. You can meet tomorrow."

Jiang Lin nodded, looking at the line of Xu Yan's family on the letter paper in a daze.

"Okay, Wang Xiao, you don't need to ask me out again, I won't go with you." Ye Mei hung up the phone in her hand, turned around and lay back on the sofa to continue reading the previous newspaper.

Uncharacteristically, Jiang Lin poked with his mobile phone, his expression focused and serious.

Although they all use mobile phones now, they have never brought this communication tool to the magic world, except to occasionally send some information to Wu Xie according to the method she said, and just use it to read the news and browse the circle of friends.Ever since she saw Jiang Lin posting a video of lentils, the girl hasn't updated anything.What are you doing now?

Too bad, I just posted a few of Ye Ting's promotional photos for her a few days ago, so it's possible that the other party found it now, right?No, it won't be this expression if you actually see it.

Jiang Lin felt a numb warm wind on her back, turned her head slightly, and found her friend sticking his head behind her furtively, leaning over to look at her mobile phone screen with a gossipy face.Without avoiding it, she pursed her lips and smiled, "What are you looking at?"

"Wait, whose ticket circle is this? Why are they all wearing Ming Ge's overalls?" Ye Mei frowned and identified the photos on it, "Not to mention, there are a few little brothers on it that look pretty good, especially It's the guy with glasses in the back row, he's the same type as Professor He, he's so elegant and godlike."

"Well, do you want a man? I can ask Xu Yan to introduce you to him." Jiang Lin swiped to some previous photos, and clicked on the big picture to look at them.

"Wait, who is Xu Yan? I found out why you became mysterious when you went back to your hometown. Why, Jinwu Cangjiao? Don't you want a little brother?"

Before she could react, she felt a slap on the head.Jiang Lin looked at her with some seriousness, and said sternly: "Just talk nonsense. Don't bring everything up to other people, okay? Besides, this is arranged by the old man, and it hasn't been settled yet. You're a ghost."

"Ah?! You, you, you are actually looking for a wild man outside! Are you worthy of me, and our relationship for so many years?" Ye Mei hugged her friend's waist and buried her in each other's arms, crying so hard Yu, the next moment, she leaned forward with longing eyes, "How is your family background? Have you met your parents? When will you get married? Do you have any good-looking gay friends?"

Jiang Lin resisted the urge to grab the girl's paws, and patted her on the shoulder to show that it was almost done.Ye Mei shyly twisted her body, waiting for her answer expectantly.

"It's just a meeting. Even if you want to get married, you have to wait a few years. It won't be so soon. Besides, I don't have this plan. I just want to find out something. So—"

"Yeah, keep talking." Ye Mei blinked.

"So stop guessing, he's not my type."

Ye Mei groaned in disappointment, and got up weakly: "I thought the pigs I raised would finally be able to eat cabbage, but the ready-made winter melons don't even bother to take a bite before my eyes, I've never seen such a stupid pig. "

"Who do you call a pig?" Jiang Lin swished his eyes, scaring the girl back into the sofa with her arms folded.

"I'm a pig, I'm a pig. By the way, what do you want to know?"

Jiang Lin put the phone aside, and said seriously, "Do you know if a pure-blood family has a son-in-law, how would they name the next generation?"

"I only know one thing about this. It seems that both boys and girls must follow their mother's surname. Why, does this have something to do with your blind date?" Ye Mei asked with interest.

"That's what I said, but it's not so strict. If the man's family background is okay, the boy can take his father's surname. This is the case with Mr. Xu Yanxu—his father is Xu You, an ordinary wizard family, and now he is a proud The director of the Luo headquarters. His mother is Si Changyan."

After hearing this, Ye Mei became thoughtful.This name is not very familiar, but the surname Si is extremely rare.The Si family is a traditional magical family, and the two surnames Si and Jiang also have a precedent for intermarriage.

Seeing that the girl had tapped her fingers to think about it, Jiang Lin added: "He also has a twin sister, Si Yueli. Speaking of which, Director Xu is still our leader, but we only joined the job last year, so we don't have many contacts."

"Then your plan now is to get the information and leave?" Ye Mei asked with a lock of hair.

"Don't make it sound like I'm a fraudulent marriage. When we met, I straight to the point and made it clear to the other party. I just wanted to know some old things, so we are just ordinary friends in private, but this time we really gained something."

Ye Mei tilted her head and looked at her: "What gain?"

"After that accident, I did go back to the year 2000. At that time, I met Si Changyan, Yao Hui, and my parents." Jiang Lin said slowly, with an imperceptible depression in his soft voice, "This This time I made a special trip to inquire about the situation of the two, Changyan—that is, Xu Yan’s mother, and Yao Hui, who died on the day my parents were attacked.”

Ye Mei listened quietly to what the other party said.Jiang Lin never mentioned in front of her the disappearing time, where she went, who she met, and what she did.At this moment, seeing the starlight in the eyes of the other party, Ye Mei felt that the air seemed to be filled with a dull and sad atmosphere.

"Don't be sad, it's been such a long time. I believe they, like uncles and aunts, don't want to see you sad." She put her arms around each other and comforted her, but she couldn't say any more unnecessary words.

Jiang Lin slightly lowered his head and caressed the outline of the phone, his voice seemed to come from a distant place: "I know."

The weather was not as hot as before, and the night wind became refreshing. The fat man didn't go to the balcony to enjoy the coolness. Perhaps it was because of his age that he couldn't stand the cold weather.After lunch with his roommate that day, he was stroking his belly and reading entertainment magazines, lamenting that the little girls now put on makeup as if they were on stage, one thicker than the other, especially those flaming red lips, which are almost blinding.Zhang Qiling took the computer and sat down on the sofa next to him, writing something in a notebook while swiping a few times.Even with such a convenient tool as a mobile phone, he is still accustomed to using pen and paper to write down things. This little habit is no surprise to fat people.But the computer is also a device that I just bought recently. What can I do with this iron bump?

The fat man thought to himself, and couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he leaned over to have a look. There was a recruitment message on the screen, which seemed to be hiring ancient book restorers.

"Hey, little brother. Are you short of money to spend or what? Is your savings not allowed to be used?" The fat man couldn't help asking.

Wu Xie had some family property before, and after washing most of it, he bought social insurance for the two of them. Although the amount is not that big, at least they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.Zhang Qiling went to Wu Xie's shop to help him palm his eyes if he had nothing to do, while the fat man scolded the boys below, and he only had to collect the land leased to others in the village when the time came.After a few small incidents, someone wanted to invite Zhang Qiling to work in the Crescent Hotel, but he refused all of them.What's going on now, the little brother finally got the hang of it?

The person who was writing the address didn't look up: "Looking for a job."

The fat man choked for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, but why are you looking for a job and panicking at home?He straightened up and took a sip of the tea, he went through his mind quickly, and finally he smacked out some taste.

"No, I haven't seen you looking for any serious job in all these years, besides, you should enjoy the blessings at your age, why do you roll up your sleeves and work hard like a young man? Is it because of Xiao Jiang? ?”

Zhang Qiling paused, and continued to copy down a line of phone numbers without haste. His handwriting was smooth, powerful, and extremely beautiful.

"Wait, really? Tsk tsk, brother, I'm under a lot of pressure when you're so serious. Sure enough, people in love are not only fools, but also workaholics. They're going to die." He said to himself The roommate, who was already familiar with his temper, was not moved at all. After closing the webpage, he began to write his resume.

The fat man thought about it for a while, and suddenly a carp bounced up from the sofa. He held the coffee table with both hands and was very anxious: "So, brother, you will move out after a while, right? Live with your girlfriend, tsk tsk, I'm a single dog, no one cooks, and I can only stare at the moon every lonely night."

What answered him was the sound of the other party's slender ten fingers flying non-stop on the keyboard, with a focused expression without being disturbed.

The fat man's shoulders slumped, and he was about to sit back and continue to look at the little girl with heavy make-up, when the other party said lightly, "You can come to eat every day, and take care of your fill."

I knew my little brother would not abandon him.The fat man thought contentedly, and his rating for Xiao Jiang jumped up again.It's nice to have a girl who can get along with my brother.

He scanned the date on the phone screen, and suddenly thought of a serious question: "It's the 10th now. Didn't Wu Xie tell us to go to his place for dinner last time before the holiday? Oh, I miss my younger siblings' craftsmanship. This time How about going to buy something for the little gentleman?"

"I'm ready." Zhang Qiling said after typing the last line and saving the document.

"I know you still have the heart. But anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are always a few of us, and the old faces are annoying. How about calling Xiao Jiang and the others?"

Zhang Qiling paused for a moment while sliding the mouse, then nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, the fat man made up his mind: "There is going to be a lantern festival at Qinghefang, you can go to the West Lake first, and then go to the lantern festival. Brother, look, it's both sentimental and festive. The atmosphere is so good. You have to seize this opportunity and let him make a confession. Then I will let you know."

"As you arrange."

Afterwards, no matter what happened to the fat man, Zhang Qiling turned on the phone and looked, found Jiang Lin in the contact column, edited a message and pressed the send button.

After a while, the fat man remembered something and got up and left the living room. When he came back, he had a mobile phone in his hand: "I'll send you the photos Xiao Yezi took when I went to save pictures."

After a while, the signal light on the phone flickered.He slid open the screen, clicked on the dialog box, and sent a dozen photos one after another.

After the fat man finished posting, he glanced at the other party, and was taken aback by the faint smile in his eyes. It seemed that he had to get used to it, after all, there would still be many such spectacle in the future.

After coding Chapter 62, I found out that I haven't updated it yet. It's really...
