He knows what he is doing, no matter how he plans in his heart, but in terms of actions, he is really suspected of turning a deaf ear to his master's words. Xia Chenglin can now understand the meaning of his junior brother's previous words, but it seems a little late.
He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start.
Because, he has not yet thought about how to explain the matter to Cui Luohan.
That's true, but based on his actions over the years, whether he really hasn't thought about it well or whether he hasn't thought about it at all is open to question.
Maybe even the parties involved themselves don’t know it clearly.
Seeing his little apprentice's embarrassment, Lin Chongyang covered up the faint smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a serious face:
"I've learned to put on airs before I take over. Why, do you need me to ask you to come and sit down?"
After hearing this, Xia Chenglin was stunned for a moment, then walked to the table and sat down opposite Lin Chongyang very obediently, because it was not easy to get beaten at this distance.
"Disciple is just thinking about how to explain to Master." He said after sitting down.
Obviously, Chief Lin didn't buy it: "What do you need to explain to me? Why don't I know?"
Lin Chongyang had high hopes for his young apprentice, and naturally he didn't want Xia Chenglin to focus entirely on official matters. Now that he was not in the future, time was far less tight, and he wouldn't be able to deal with even private matters.
"Master." Xia Chenglin called softly but did not continue speaking.
He didn't have any grudge against his master's sudden move. As the heir to Lin Chongyang's mantle, he knew very well that the majestic vitality was hard-won, and he also understood the master's painstaking efforts.
However, in this situation, he suspected that the master was making fun of him.
This suspicion is extremely reasonable, because the master's character is actually more like his grandfather's than his master's, and is not so domineering and stubborn.
"You brat, can't you be considerate of me, an old man?"
After being seen through, Lin Chongyang smiled softly, took a new tea cup from the tray, poured tea and pushed it to the opposite side.
Xia Chenglin first looked at the master sitting opposite, then at his own reflection in the tea cup. After making a simple comparison in his mind, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he stopped talking:
"You..." You look younger than me.
After all, he couldn't say the words, he was self-aware.
"The siblings were sent to the hospital some time ago, right?" Lin Chongyang took a sip from the tea cup and said calmly.
"Yes." Xia Chenglin nodded slightly, and then asked: "How does Master plan to arrange them?"
"Strictly speaking, they have sold themselves to Confucianism. How about being a child bride for you?" Lin Chongyang put down the tea cup and said this abruptly.
"Please forgive me for being rude, Master, this joke is not funny." Xia Chenglin stood up suddenly.
"If you don't take the initiative yourself, why do you need me to arrange it?"
"disciple……"
"If you want to shirk it, just save it, but you can keep your heart in your stomach first, I won't take advantage of others' danger."
Lin Chongyang raised his hand, and a force acted on Xia Chenglin, making him sit up again. Before the young apprentice could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard him change the subject:
"When I go out this time, I have asked Brother Jiangnan to go to Wanyi Shang Castle to help you matchmaker with the girl from the Cui family."
People's temperament always likes to compromise. If you directly ask Xia Chenglin to ask a matchmaker for him, then his reaction should be similar to the one just now. But if you first tell him something that he can't accept, and then ask a matchmaker for him, then his reaction will be similar. The reaction will be much duller.
Xia Chenglin: "..."
He never thought that there would be such a day. He was still sitting in the Cuixin Palace of De Feng Ancient Dao. Why, why did he suddenly reach the stage of matchmaking? I didn't even say hello to him beforehand.
"I..." Xia Chenglin wanted to say something to evade, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out for some reason.
He has always been motivated to follow the example of his master, and he has never forgotten the previous conversation between the two in Cuixin Temple, but he was completely unprepared for this matter.
After the matchmaking, the marriage proposal should come.
Judging from his understanding of Cui Wanyi, and the fact that the master personally asked the engineer to help, the matchmaking matter has basically been completed.
Because the situation between him and Cui Luohan is different from marriage, as long as the whole story is explained a little and from the perspective of an elder, it is basically logical and natural.
What's even worse is that no one can help him now. If other elders are informed about this matter, even if each of them comes to urge them a few words, as a junior, he can only listen obediently.
"In this position, I am most afraid of being arbitrary and insistent. Even if I reach this stage, I will still listen to the needs of the people, still seek everyone's opinions, and still listen to the suggestions of the master and all my uncles.
As the saying goes, people's hearts are shaped by what goes up and what follows. In the future, when you stand in my position, you still have to shoulder the responsibility of setting an example.
There are some things that I shouldn’t need to explain to you so clearly. "
After finishing speaking, Lin Chongyang picked up the tea cup and left the young apprentice time to think.
"..." Xia Chenglin opened his mouth, but was speechless.
"Master, you are acting arbitrarily now!"
He sighed helplessly in his heart. After all, he did not refute. On the one hand, it was done and there was no need to refute. On the other hand, he simply did not dare to refute.
Facing Master alone is much easier than facing all the elders. At least, Master will protect you when the time comes.
"What should disciples prepare?" he asked.
"That's right. Don't hesitate when it's time to make a decision. You can give your senior brothers more trust. However, not everything can be helped by your senior brothers. Getting married early will not hurt you."
Lin Chongyang's deep eyes showed a little more care and expectation for his younger generation, and he continued:
"You are different from me. The gifts you need to bring to propose marriage should follow Zhou etiquette. Then you can prepare it yourself. The other party's family is not bad. Don't let others look down on us.
When Brother Jiangnan replies, I will choose a good and auspicious day to propose marriage to you in person. "
"Yeah." Xia Chenglin nodded slightly, then picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp regardless of the temperature. He felt that he needed to calm down.
It was only one morning, and he had already fast forwarded to the proposal of marriage. When he got married in the future, he didn't dare to think about what his elders would urge him to do, and besides, he had an unusually large number of elders.
If you add in the unclear seniority, it will be even more.
…………
West Wulin.
"Tsk, it's a miracle that the person who released the news hasn't disappeared from the world yet."
Outside the main city of Tiandu, a figure in a blue shirt was walking on the long street of prosperous business, gently waving a folding fan in his hand, with the four characters "Progress First" inscribed on the fan.
Jiang Nanchunxin never expected that he just came here to help his friends make matchmaking, but he would get an unexpected big deal.
