Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xiao quickly put down the wine bowl.
When he came to the door, he saw a thin eunuch with gray hair standing outside the door. Looking at the familiar face, Lin Xiao asked in surprise: "Eunuch Bai, why are you here?"
"We are here to congratulate you on your behalf!"
Eunuch Bai said as he opened the door and came in.
After seeing everyone in the courtyard, he said in a cold tone: "Who are you?"
Everyone looked at Eunuch Bai, not knowing what to say for a moment.
They are just ordinary martial arts warriors. Especially when facing people in the palace, they are always overwhelmed by their momentum.
Lin Xiao quickly came to the rescue and said, "They are all my friends."
"I see."
Eunuch Bai waved the dust in his hand and sat on the chair swaggeringly: "Since he is a friend of Old Mrs. Lin, the Za family will not exclude him."
As he spoke, he looked into the room.
"Huh!"
Eunuch Bai searched for a long time, then looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Old man, where is your son? The princess has returned to the palace, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"this……"
Lin Xiao looked confused.
"That's all."
Seeing that Lin Xiao couldn't answer, Eunuch Bai poured a bowl of wine on his own and said, "Since we haven't come back yet, let the Zajia family wait! Old man, the Zajia family would like to propose a drink to you. You have finally come to the end of your hardships. If you are popular in the future, Don’t forget Lao slave!”
"How dare you."
Lin Xiao went up to clink glasses with wine and quietly stuffed a few banknotes over.
Eunuch Bai didn't take it seriously at first, but after seeing the denomination on the bank note, his pale face immediately turned red: "Old man, the Za family will not return home until you are drunk!"
"Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk."
Lin Xiao laughed loudly and raised the wine bowl high.
Everyone quickly followed suit.
After a few rounds of drinking, Eunuch Bai put down the bowl in his hand and said meaningfully: "Old man, I wonder if your Lin Cheng is married?"
"This... still exists."
Lin Xiao hesitated and responded.
"That would be a shame."
Eunuch Bai sighed, shook his head and said, "Lin Cheng's great achievements this time, coupled with the recommendation of the concubine and the princess, are enough to become a fourth-rank official in Kyoto."
Lin Xiao opened his eyes wide.
He never thought that Lin Cheng could become an official.
In his opinion, Lin Cheng just needs to be a guard in the palace for the rest of his life and be safe.
Now I heard that my son can achieve the fourth grade.
Lin Xiao felt dizzy... so happy.
suddenly.
Someone among the crowd came forward and came to Lin Xiao's side: "Brother Lin, please forgive me. The Cui family's young lady is not a good match, so let your son divorce her."
Lin Xiao looked at the other party suddenly: "What did you say?"
The man was startled by Lin Xiao, but he still said: "If I tell you, Brother Lin can't blame me!"
"you say!"
Lin Xiao took a sip of wine and said loudly: "If you have proof, not only will I not blame you, I will also remember you as a favor."
"Although the Cui family has made a marriage contract with your family, in recent years, the daughter of the Cui family has been blessed. She became a member of Qiumei Mountain and learned martial arts."
"But some time ago, I heard that the daughter of the Cui family not only came back by herself, but also brought back a fellow senior fellow student."
"It is said that these two people are extremely close."
After the man finished speaking, he stopped talking and gave Lin Xiao's reply.
But before Lin Xiao could say anything, someone else stood up.
This person was Lao Xu. He looked at Lin Xiao with a gloomy face: "I also saw it with my own eyes. The daughter of the Cui family was shopping with a man at that time. The two were quite intimate."
"snort!"
Lin Xiao picked up a wine jar and smashed it on the ground, and sneered: "I didn't expect the Cui family to be so shameless and unabashed, and let you know about it. This is a deliberate slap in the face of my Lin family! It's a shame!"
"OK!"
Eunuch Bai also screamed and sneered: "This Cui family does not know the true God and actually treats toads as treasures. Mr. Lin, the Za family advises you to cancel this marriage as soon as possible."
suddenly.
The courtyard door was pushed open.
"Why break off the engagement?"
Lin Cheng came in from the door with three wine jars in his hand. After seeing everyone in the courtyard, he said, "There are so many people here, I can't get enough wine."
An hour ago.
After Lin Cheng separated from Yunyao, he went to a tavern in the west of the city to buy wine.
The wine in this pub is very rich!
It is also Lin Xiao's favorite wine, but because of its high price, it is difficult to drink it on weekdays.
Now that Lin Cheng had plenty of money, he thought of rewarding the old man, but he didn't expect that he wasted a lot of time on this trip.
"What else are you drinking?"
Lin Xiao was no longer in the mood to drink. He pulled Lin Cheng up and said, "Let's go and break the engagement with me!"
"marriage?"
Lin Cheng was startled and asked: "I don't have any engagement. Old man, are you remembering it wrong?"
As soon as the words were spoken.
Lin Cheng only felt a beautiful figure appear in his mind.
The other party is a tall girl with a delicate face.
As this beautiful figure emerged, a memory that he had sealed away suddenly appeared in Lin Cheng's mind.
At that time, he was only fifteen years old.
Lin Xiao took him to Cui's house to get engaged. Back then, Lin Xiao was kind to the old man of the Cui family, so the two families made a marriage contract.
Lin Cheng was quite resistant to this, so he didn't take it seriously.
As time goes by, it will be forgotten.
Now that Lin Xiao mentioned it, Lin Cheng remembered it.
"Are you just pretending to be stupid?"
Seeing his son's forgotten look, Lin Xiao couldn't help but cursed angrily: "That little lady from the Cui family has brought a man home, so you're not in a hurry at all?"
"what are you saying?"
Lin Cheng was confused.
Later, after everyone's explanation, Lin Cheng finally understood.
Good guy!
I'm the clown myself?
Lin Cheng couldn't help it... Although he wasn't interested in the marriage, he was still engaged, and he had never brought a woman to his home.
The Cui family not only brings people home.
You still dare to go out on the streets openly. Isn't this a slap in the Lin family's face?
If you are not satisfied with this marriage, you can come and withdraw from it. Why are you so disgusting?
Eunuch Bai saw Lin Cheng's ugly face, so he stood up and said: "The Za family came here today. They wanted to teach Mr. Lin the rules of meeting the saints. Now I'm afraid Mr. Lin doesn't have the heart to learn it. How about this, the Za family will accompany you. How about calling off the marriage?"
"good."
Lin Cheng's face was gloomy.
He knew that this matter might not be simple, but he could just take this opportunity to end things with the Cui family.
then.
A group of people headed toward the west of the city in a mighty manner.
The Cui family in the west of the city.
This is a rather large mansion, covering an area of several acres, with a rockery lake in the courtyard.
In the pavilion, a man and a woman were discussing something.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Cui Linlin looked at the senior brother in front of her with a hint of coquettishness on her face: "Is this Lin Cheng really as powerful as the rumors say?"
"Junior sister."
The man looked upright and said seriously: "This Lin Cheng is your fiancé. Do you really not know him at all?"
"He's just a toad who shows up shyly to ask for a hand in marriage."
Cui Linlin was a little angry. She looked at the man in front of her: "Linlin likes senior brother. I don't like Lin Cheng."
While the two were talking.
A servant stumbled over and shouted: "Miss, someone from the Lin family is here. The master wants you to come over."
