"On the top of the willow trees in the moonlight, there is an appointment..."
No, it’s a person hiding behind a tree.
You can see the side of the study from the backyard. The ginkgo tree hiding Yang Lin is said to be a hundred years old. The tree is wide enough to block his figure.
Just stared at it.
Talk about things.
We can't keep talking forever.
He wanted to see what was going on.
Although I was glad that I and Xiao Mushroom were spared a spanking.
But he is not the real Xiao Yang Lin before, the kind who just eats and waits to die.
Facing the unusual atmosphere at home today, especially the strange behavior of the housekeeper and guards, his curiosity could not be suppressed at all.
'Is something big going to happen? '
'In the past, I occasionally heard the word New Party in a few words, and I also secretly checked it out. The medicines in the warehouse at home were shipped to the north in large quantities...'
Don’t think too deeply about this matter, as it can easily scare yourself if you think too much.
It was hard to settle down and live again. Although many things in this era were not satisfactory and people were ignorant and numb, at least, my life was still very prosperous.
The dandy has clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth. He has not lived enough of this peaceful life (living and drinking), and he does not want to go into the wind and rain again.
Unfortunately, looking at the signs, some things seem unavoidable.
"Squeak..."
The study door opened.
In the dim twilight, Yang Lin saw his father and mother opening the door and walking out.
Following him were two women.
Or two girls.
The one on the left is wearing a green arrow shirt, clean and neat, with short bangs. That is the fourth sister Yang Ying.
My parents may have had the foresight to choose the names so appropriately.
The fourth girl of the Yang family is tall and has long legs, her body and face are full of heroic spirit, her eyebrows are like swords, and her eyes are very sharp.
Anyone who sees her for the first time knows that she is a heroine.
Every time he saw his fourth sister, Yang Lin felt a chill on his back. He knew this was the body's conditioned reflex.
The reason is very simple. In my memory, this sister who is only eleven months younger than me has beaten my brother countless times since she was a child.
The action is neither light nor heavy.
But he still can't beat it.
Next to Yang Ying is Chen Lanxin.
This person has dark eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a graceful figure that makes people unable to take their eyes off her at first sight.
The most rare thing is the gentle and intellectual aura that Miss Lan Xin exudes, which is very attractive.
Yang Ying stood next to her. Although he was heroic and had an extraordinary temperament, she made him look like a follower.
Sure enough, no matter how old a woman is, she must always be feminine to be decent.
"I'll leave this matter to Uncle Shi. If Xiaoqiao's injury requires some precious medicinal materials, please speak up. My Chen family..."
"Niece Lan Xin, have you forgotten what kind of business Shibo is running? Mere drugs are not worth mentioning.
However, Mr. Wang's injury was between his lungs and the evil poisons were attacking him. The situation was very serious. Recovery does not happen overnight. "
Yang Shoucheng's eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was very complicated...
He didn't say much, just warned: "When you go back, be careful all the way. Ying'er, please give me a gift."
"Um."
Chen Lan felt a little happy and said goodbye to the backyard with Yang Ying by her side.
Yang Shoucheng shook his head, sighed, looked at each other with his wife, and then turned back into the study and closed the door.
"Xiaoqiao?"
"Injury?"
Yang Lin's heart thumped, and he secretly screamed that something was not good.
On the surface, there's nothing wrong with it.
Miss Chen Jialanxin sent a patient to her home for treatment.
Father Yang Shoucheng's medical skills are still very trustworthy, so it's natural to ask him to take action.
But then I thought about it.
'No, is it necessary to be so sneaky when sending people for medical treatment? '
Even if he is being cured, he will be guarded and not allowed to come near.
At this time, Yang Lin also remembered the butler's expression when he spoke before, and suddenly understood.
Uncle Da probably didn't go out to transport medicinal materials. He was probably guarding the area around his house and leading people on patrol outside.
Prevent the news from leaking.
What kind of patient is so awesome?
Or just not seeing the light of day.
Thinking of the wanted documents he saw in the Zhejiang official newspaper this morning and the people in Tsing Yi he saw on the streets, Yang Lin's mood immediately became bad.
If my guess is true, the family must be involved in something bad.
In comparison, beating up two gangsters outside and saving a weak and helpless little girl was nothing.
He was startled, and his breathing inevitably became faster.
"who?"
I heard a scream in my ears.
Whoosh...
A ray of silver light hit his eyes.
The chill was biting.
There was a soft sound of "click".
Yang Lin lowered his head in shock, staggered out, and looked sideways.
Then he saw a red-tasseled short knife, tremblingly stuck in the ginkgo tree. It was almost halfway up and only three or three centimeters away from his head.
It was almost, just almost, that I had to say goodbye to this world.
"Yang Ying, do you use throwing knives casually in your own home? Are you crazy or stupid?"
Yang Lin was very angry.
He was really unprepared just now and was obsessed with thinking about things.
Even if you take precautions, it's actually useless.
A disciple of the Jingwu Sect, his moves are extraordinary. When he drew his sword, Yang Lin didn't react at all and only saw a glimmer of cold light.
The knife was already stuck in the tree, and he just started to hide...
Fortunately, the light was not enough, and Yang Lin was well hidden on the side of the tree. The angle was not very good, so Yang Ying failed to shoot accurately.
"Who told you to hide there silently, like a ghost, scary to people... I say Yang San, you need to practice more. Let's see what you become?"
Yang Ying looked stunned, a little embarrassed at first, and then became more energetic. Looking at Yang Lin's figure that almost fell, she looked down on him.
She turned to look at Chen Lanxin and said with a smile: "Sister Lanxin, I made you laugh. My third brother is like this. He is out of tune all day long and does all the nonsense.
Don’t know where to have fun this time? He wanted to hide aside and scare us, but he was frightened out of his wits by my casual knife. It was really..."
"Don't talk about your third brother like that, Ying'er." Miss Lan Xin smiled softly and said, "Yang Lin is still young, he is just a little playful. When he gets tired of playing and calms down, he can naturally inherit the family business."
"My stepfather was the same way back then. He refused to study medicine. But later on, he went to Japan to study. After he came back, he gained a wide range of knowledge and mastered advanced medical skills... I heard that he did great things in the north, which is quite impressive. Be famous and respected.”
"There is also the second brother Chengzong, who published dozens of editorials and poems in the journal "Yuan Shang Cao" to awaken the nation's blood... He was not the same nonsense when he was young."
"That's different." Yang Ying smiled from ear to ear when she heard Chen Lanxin praising her eldest and second brothers.
"It's a pity that you, Sister Lan Xin, are born as a girl. Otherwise, you could have traveled across the ocean, studied in many countries, and accomplished a great cause, and you would not be outdone by women."
"I have this idea...after autumn, I will also go east to Japan to study.
The higher authorities have relaxed the quota for the third batch of students studying in Japan. All knowledgeable people are interested in going east. Several classmates and I got the quota, and our family did not stop us. "
Chen Lan said with expectation.
"Really, Uncle Chen is really open-minded. Sister Lan Xin, if you go to Japan, remember to ask about Chen Zhen.
He is my fifth senior brother, and he is very good at martial arts. If you need help with anything, you can ask him for help to avoid being bullied. "Yang Ying introduced with eyes shining.
"I will."
"Sister Lan Xin, that little bridge..."
"Don't talk nonsense, your third brother is still here?"
"He, don't mention it, he is not worthy of you at all. I think you should not be my third sister-in-law... What kind of era is it now? Are there still parents who order matchmakers? We women are no worse than men. You should pursue your own happiness..."
"Do you think of me as a younger sister?" Chen Lanxin was amused and laughed out loud.
The two of them talked animatedly and went out the back door.
A black carriage with two horses running parallel picked up Chen Lanxin.
The sound of hoofbeats was far away in the dusk.
Yang Lin was originally full of questions and wanted to ask the two of them, but the other party talked and laughed, so he lost all thought.
Yang Simei and Chen Lanxin obviously didn't take them seriously and ignored them as they walked by.
Thinking of the time when the housekeeper Agui stopped him from going to the study.
Yang Lin was silent.
Perhaps, Cheap's parents really take good care of his life and love him very much. However, they have too deep prejudices in their hearts and think that their third son is indeed not very successful and will not let him know anything about important events.
If you ask, you will definitely answer casually and ask nothing.
Moreover, I am also worried that I will ruin things by going out and talking nonsense.
This is not easy to do.
Had a meal.
No one cares about him.
Returning to his own courtyard, Yang Lin took a hurried bath under the service of Xiao Mushroom, and then studied the birthmark on his chest.
He punched and kicked, recalling some boxing and kicking skills he had seen on the Internet in later generations, as well as some attack methods such as Sanda, boxing, and Muay Thai, and practiced them in detail for a while...
I realized that I had gained some insights, so I checked the martial arts birthmark again and found that the martial arts column was still blank.
There was silence for a while.
Yang Lin gave up in despair.
"Little mushroom, is Uncle Da back?"
Lying on the bed, Yang Lin felt so tired.
"Not yet? Butler Agui didn't even come to complain. Master, please go to bed early."
The muffled voice of the little mushroom in the outer compartment came, and it was obvious that he was about to fall asleep.
She was a personal maid and had served Young Master Yang San since she was a child. At night, she had to help cover him with quilts and fill the urinal, so she slept on a small bed outside the door, separated by a curtain.
When Yang Lin first came here, he was not used to it.
Later, I could no longer live without this little maid. I felt that this evil old society was actually quite good.
"All right."
Yang Lin sighed and went to sleep with a lot of worries. He would talk about anything tomorrow.
…
Early the next morning.
The sky is still gray and only the white color of fish belly can be seen.
There was a knock on the door.
"Third Young Master, get up quickly, it's not good."
It was the voice of the housekeeper Agui.
Little Mushroom woke up from his sleep, got up quickly, put on his clothes, opened the door and poked his head out, asking, "What's the matter with the housekeeper?"
Yang Lin also sat up suddenly, forced his sleepy eyes open, and saw Agui standing at the door with a pale face.
In the cold spring weather, his lips were black and his body was still slightly swaying.
"Tingru...Tingru's family is over, it's all over."
What?
Yang Lin, who was not completely awake yet, turned his head hard and his eyes widened.
Lord Tingru is Chen Tingru, the father of Chen Lanxin.
The Chen family is a wealthy grain merchant in Hangzhou, and is actually Yang Lin's future family.
The Yang family and the Chen family are close friends and have a very close relationship.
The children of both parties are brother and sister, and they must visit each other during holidays.
Yang Lin and Chen Lanxin were engaged to have a baby engagement, although Chen Lanxin never let go and the two did not consummate their marriage.
But in the eyes of both families, getting married was a matter of time.
What does it mean it's all over?
Yang Lin was excited and jumped out of bed.
