Qin Xiu [comprehensive martial arts + sword three]

After returning from Hua Ruling's celebration banquet, she turned around and went to Li's mansion to have a drink, but this time Long Wan went there in women's clothing, and the banquet at Li's mansion was separated from men and women.

When entering the mansion from the main entrance, Long Wan's appearance still caused a commotion, she went straight to the banquet place in the backyard without turning her eyes, and when she stepped into the vertical flower gate, the sighs of regret behind her were a bit too loud.

And when you enter the backyard, you may not be able to be quiet. This time, the Li Mansion hosted a banquet, and many female family members were invited, and most of them were wives and ladies from high-ranking families. When it happened, her eyes seemed to be on fire, and Long Wan, who had a complicated expression, didn't want to interpret it at all, but she could also see that it was not kind.

The banquet for the female relatives was placed in the courtyard, separated from the male guests by a lake, and a few flower and bird screens were placed on the side facing the lake, which separated the sight of the other bank, but could not separate the noise of the courtyard.

As the host, Lin Shiyin was extremely busy today, but she knew that Long Wan was here, so she came here to pick her up and take her to a seat.

"There are too many guests today, so I can only wrong my sister to sit alone." Lin Shiyin said with Long Wan in a low voice, a little helpless in her voice.

In this kind of banquet, whoever sits in what position is particular. Many of the wives among the guests have orders. Lin Shiyin is the host, so she naturally sits on the chair. Lin Shiyin's sisters were also not allowed to sit at the same table with her, and they were not even allowed to sit at the same table with other guests.

Therefore, the table that Lin Shiyin arranged for Long Wan was relatives from both the Li family and the Lin family, so it was appropriate for her to sit there as Lin Shiyin's sworn sister.

Among the people at the same table were a few young girls who were about the same age as Lin Shiyin, and one of them looked a little like Lin Shiyin, probably a relative of hers. When these young girls saw Long Wan, they turned their attention to Long Wan. Let her go.

"What's your sister's name?"

"Surnamed Long? Are there any relatives with this surname in our family?"

"So it's my cousin/cousin's sworn sister? What does Miss Long do at home?"

There is nothing wrong with such a question, and the attitudes of a few people look good, but when Long Wan answers, they will repeat some bad things about the task, and the voice is inexplicably high-pitched. hear.

Long Wan also found that when she said that she was an orphan, the contempt and superiority in their eyes flashed away. Of course, the jealousy that has not diminished is also obvious.

Long Wan thought it's no wonder that Lin Shiyin was the same age as them and they were relatives, and they had no contact with each other in the capital. She didn't like such a temperament, let alone Lin Shiyin who was always sensitive.

After saying a few words, the servants of Li's mansion began to serve the dishes, Long Wan took off her veil, and the girls who talked to her suddenly stopped talking, not only them, but also the wives and ladies at the same table and other tables , the scene was quiet for a while, and the insects in the grass nearby could be heard. After a while, the excitement slowly resumed. All kinds of whispers made Long Wan feel like a national treasure being visited in a zoo.

But those little girls didn't talk to her any more, they just got together to whisper and sneak a glance at her from time to time.

Long Wan was also happy that these people would not bother her, so she finished the banquet quietly, then said goodbye and left.

Lin Shiyin came out to see her off, and apologized to her for the matter of those girls: "My cousins ​​have always been like this, sister, don't take it to heart, just pretend that you haven't seen them." The cousins ​​are actually somewhat interested in their cousin, so they are hostile to him, and Long Wan is affected by her first, and because of her outstanding appearance, she compares them all. , inevitably jealous.

Looking back, I still don't know how to arrange her.

"Well, I won't care about it anyway." It's just that they are irrelevant people, so Long Wan has no time to care about them.

She walked out with Lin Shiyin on her arm, while telling her that she would go on a long trip in a few days.

"My sister is leaving Beijing again? But what's the matter?"

"It's just that I've stayed in the capital for a long time, and I'm a little bored. I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the scenery and mountains."

Hearing that she was going out to play, Lin Shiyin was very envious, "If I have the ability of my sister, I'm afraid I can go out with my sister." She usually doesn't think martial arts are good, so although she has learned some, she has never I haven't worked hard, I can only be regarded as a little bit of punch and embroidered legs.

Long Wan smiled and said: "Otherwise, if you want to learn martial arts, how about I teach you when I come back?"

Lin Shiyin thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't really like dancing with knives and guns, so forget it."

"Practicing martial arts doesn't necessarily require dancing with knives and guns. Later, my sister will perform for you. It won't be too late if you want to practice." Long Wan felt that it is not a good thing for Lin Shiyin to rely on Li Xunhuan all the time. Who knows if he will? One day, the convulsion sent Lin Shiyin away again.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked Lin Shiyin: "First, when I entered the mansion, I saw your uncle. He didn't look very well, is he sick?"

Speaking of her uncle, Lin Shiyin's face also had a look of worry, "Yes, the doctor said that my uncle was depressed and occasionally caught a cold. He took medicine for several days before he started to improve, but his health just got better. I have to be busy entertaining guests, and I don’t know if I will fall ill again later.”

Long Wan first saw Li's father's complexion was not good, but now she heard Lin Shiyin's words, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt that Lin Shiyin's marriage could not be delayed any longer, otherwise it would be like the situation in the original book again.

With this thought in mind, Long Wan resolutely said to Lin Shiyin: "I suddenly remembered that there is something that needs to be dealt with before I leave. After this matter in your mansion is over, you ask your cousin to come out some time. I have something to do." Talk to him."

"Sister, do you want to talk to your cousin?" Lin Shiyin was very surprised. Normally, Long Wan didn't like her cousin, but she wanted to talk to him about something. What could it be?

Long Wan didn't care about Lin Shiyin's questioning, she knew after only a few days.

Although she didn't know what it was, Lin Shiyin still dutifully went to Li Xunhuan to talk about it after being too busy. The unmarried couple guessed for a long time and didn't know what Long Wan could have to ask Li Xunhuan, so they didn't guess. Yes, taking advantage of the free time today, I sent someone to invite Long Wan.

The three of them made an appointment to sit on the waterside pavilion by the lake, Lin Shiyin thought that Long Wan had something important to say, so she said that she was going to pick some flowers in the courtyard and put them in a vase, leaving them time to talk alone.

Long Wan originally came here for Lin Shiyin's affairs, and she didn't need to avoid her, but thinking that Lin Shiyin was thin-skinned, she didn't keep her.

As soon as she left, Long Wan didn't say much, and asked Li Xunhuan straight to the point: "Is your marriage with Sister Shiyin on the agenda?"

Li Xun Huan thought about a lot of things that Long Wan would talk to him about, maybe it was something about martial arts that he wanted to ask him, maybe it was something else that needed his help, but it never occurred to her that she wanted to ask this.

So, Lin Xunhuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Not yet, my father is not feeling well recently, so I don't want to disturb his rest with this matter."

Li Xunhuan wanted to marry Lin Shiyin as soon as possible, but Li's father was depressed because he failed to get the first prize in the exam, and he was sick. He felt that he had failed his father's expectations, and he felt ashamed, so naturally it was not good to tell him about his marriage at this time , I just want to wait for my father to get better before talking.

After hearing this, Long Wan gave him an annoyed look, "Everyone says Li Xun Huan is extremely smart, but I didn't expect him to be a fool."

Li Xun Huan was not angry when someone called him stupid, instead he asked her in a good-tempered manner, "How do you say it?"

"If you think about it, you also know that your father's illness is probably caused by heart disease, right?"

Li Xun Huan nodded, of course he knew: "My father always wanted me and my eldest brother to win the first prize, but now we didn't get it, he was disappointed, that's why he got sick."

"I've heard rumors in the capital that you should be number one because of your literary talents, but you didn't want to be the emperor because your family's couplet thought it would be more beautiful for you to win Tanhua, so you were given the title of Tanhua. ?”

Li Xun Huan nodded again, this matter was said by the emperor in front of civil and military officials, and he was even bestowed with calligraphy, and because of this, his father felt even more uncomfortable, thinking that his son was obviously talented enough but he did not get the number one prize because of himself and his elder brother He fell ill so quickly.

"This heart disease is not so easy to treat. Your father has become obsessed with wanting your family to be a champion. Now that no one in your family takes the exam, he has no hope? Your father's health is not very good, and now he is not Hope, when do you think he will recover from this illness?" Long Wan said euphemistically, if it was too straightforward, it would not sound good.

Li Xunhuan didn't need her to say any more, she just followed her thoughts and thought to herself that what Long Wan said was right, his father's health has never been considered very healthy, and he would get sick from time to time. The blow is too great, if one is not good, it is really possible to be ill again.

Seeing that he seemed to have realized something, Long Wan said persistently: "Your father is not young, and he should have spoiled his grandson long ago. Your elder brother is not in good health. He has been married for many years and has no children. Your own You're too old, so shouldn't you give your father a grandson to hug and give him something to look forward to? It shouldn't be too difficult for one talented woman to teach a champion, right?"

This family has such good genes, and the four characters are unlucky, and the emperor should be replaced by the rather funny and talkative emperor in Lu Xiaofeng, and there should be no fourth Tanhua.

"So, don't I need to say more about this?"

Li Xun Huan pondered for a long time, stood up and bowed to Long Wan.

"Miss Long reminded me that I know what to do."
