Chapter 54

Lin Maozhi knew that Lin Xiuran had helped Xie Nianyao in the secret realm, but there was a difference between "helping" and "saving a life". After the gift list, he knew that it was definitely not the handwriting of a teenage girl.

There is a set of unwritten standards among the aristocratic families. What kind of gift to give and how much to give are all particular. If it is too thin, it is negligent, and if it is too thick, it is beyond the norm. This gift from Xie Nianyao is obviously far away. Beyond the standard of normal walking.

Either Xie Nianyao was ignorant and had no one to help, or the Xie family did it deliberately and asked him for something.

Sure enough, Xie Nianyao replied naively with a ignorant face: "Father specially prepared the gift list. Originally, father planned to come in person. Unfortunately, he is really at a loss recently, and he is afraid that Brother Xiuran will return to Minghe Mountain sometime, so he asked me to come here first." Come to visit, and after a few days, father will pass the greeting card and come to the door in person."

This is true, presumably it was the Xie family's request to the Lin family's, so they used the matter between the two juniors to make friends, and first came to throw stones to ask the way and find out the tone.

It's just that I don't know what is the matter, but the Xie family is so roundabout.

However, no matter what the purpose of the Xie family was, it was Xie Nianyao's visit this time. After all, Lin Maozhi was considered an elder, and it was inevitable that Xie Nianyao would be uncomfortable if he came forward to receive him, so after a short chat, he greeted Lin Xiu'an and Lin Xiuran brothers to entertain Xie Nianyao.

This is the inconvenience of having no female relatives in the family. The two or three generations of the Lin family have no daughters. Lin Maozhi's wife died young, and Lin Maofeng never married a wife at all. , Most of the few remaining are not of sufficient status to be on the stage to entertain guests.

It is also fortunate that the cultivation world does not pay attention to the defense of men and women like ordinary people, so that it will not be too embarrassing. As for what will happen to Lin Xiuran after he succeeds the head of the Lin family in the future, that is not what Lin Maozhi needs to worry about right now.

Lin Xiuran wasn't worried about Xie Nianyao either, what he was worried about was Yin Chengyu, a big jealousy.

I don't know if there is something wrong with his posture of hugging his thighs at the beginning. Xie Nianyao, who was supposed to be in the palace, has nothing but the "good-looking" affection for Yin Chengyu that started from Yan Kong when they first met. Even Yun Lang's style of painting is wrong with the slightest thoughtfulness.

For Lin Xiuran at the moment, it should be a good thing that his boyfriend lost two girls to covet, but who would have thought that Xie Nianyao would make a "confession" when he was parting, even though Xie Nianyao didn't say a word when they met this time When mentioning that matter, Lin Xiuran also vaguely guessed that this little girl's "like" was probably as indeterminate as chasing stars, but Yin Chengyu didn't know!

Before he could say a few words, Yin Chengyu made up an excuse and came over, and stood beside Lin Xiuran, his face full of displeasure.Xie Nianyao cast a resentful glance at Yin Chengyu, and Lin Xiu'an was even more embarrassed, what happened when Qinghe first met was already enough to embarrass him, but he didn't expect that he would throw him back home after being ashamed now.

So much so that when Xie Nianyao said goodbye and left, Lin Xiu'an breathed a sigh of relief, although Yin Chengyu's face was not very obvious, but it should be similar.

"Xiu Ran, brother still has some things to do, so I'm leaving first. If my father asks, you can just mention it." It's not that he doesn't know what kind of temperament he is, so why make him suffer this kind of punishment!

It's a pity that before he ran out of the gate, he was stopped by his father's entourage: "Young master, master invites you to go over."

It was only the first day that Lin Xiuran knew the stories about last year in Qinghe. He did not expect such a coincidence to see the three of them in the same room today. After Xie Nianyao and Lin Xiuan both left, Lin Xiuran couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud.

"What? What's so funny?"

Yin Chengyu held Lin Xiuran's hand tenderly, although his tone was kind, but Lin Xiuran could hear some threats.

"It's nothing, did I smile? I didn't!" Lin Xiuran pulled out his hand, and said to the waiting maids with a straight face, "Did you see that I smiled?"

Naturally, the maids would not expose him, and all lowered their heads in an effort to reduce their sense of presence. Seeing their reaction, Lin Xiuran couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.

It was rare for Yin Chengyu to see Lin Xiuran so lively and cheerful. He just felt that something was about to move in his heart, and he suppressed the impulse after silently reciting the Qingxin formula a few times, and he pulled Lin Xiuran to go out together with his usual expression.

This shows the inconvenience of living in the Lin family. There are servants and maids everywhere, and Lin Maozhi who cares about his son all the time. Even if Yin Chengyu wants to get close to Lin Xiuran, he has to be more scrupulous. It's cheaper to eat some tofu in hot springs, but there's no way to do more intimate things.

From a psychological point of view, both Lin Xiuran and Yin Chengyu are grown men, and physically, they are both in their prime of life. Even Lin Xiuran has been in love several times, but Yin Chengyu has to stop abruptly. It's really hard to see the taste of not being able to eat.

However, even in Minghe Mountain, Yin Chengyu didn't intend to double cultivate with Lin Xiuran so early. He had already formed an alchemy, so he didn't have to worry too much, but Lin Xiuran had just built his foundation, and in the long run, he shouldn't ejaculate too early. yuan yang.Therefore, before he formed the alchemy, Yin Chengyu could only hold back.

Yin Chengyu, who was forced to "self-cultivate his character", had no choice but to go back to Lin Xiuran's house to meditate and practice. The originally planned outing for the two of them had to be temporarily shelved because of Xie Nianyao's visit. Lin Xiuran simply stopped going out and concentrated on preparing for the next day. taboo.

Because it is not an integer every ten, so there is no big deal, only Lin Maozhi, Lin Xiuran and his son worshiped Mrs. Lin's memorial tablet.Lin Xiuran didn't feel much sadness about this mother whom he had almost never met, but Lin Maozhi was different.

Although for so many years, Lin Maozhi seldom brought up his dead wife in front of Lin Xiuran, but from the few words of others, Lin Xiuran can still piece together the harmonious appearance of his father and mother in the past.For more than ten years, Lin Maozhi, as the head of the Lin family, has always been surrounded by courteous people, but he has never had a second woman by his side. Sit for half a day.

There is nothing more affectionate in the world than this, and Lin Xiuran's heart can't help but feel sad.

Even though it was unreasonable, Lin Xiuran still dragged Yin Chengyu to the ancestral hall, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Lin's tablet.

The life lamp that originally belonged to Mrs. Lin has been extinguished for many years, but it is spotless, and the brass carving lines are still shining brightly. It can be seen that someone has wiped and cleaned it from time to time.

Yin Chengyu silently lit a stick of incense, knelt down next to Lin Xiuran, and respectfully offered a stick of incense to Mrs. Lin.

Lin Xiuran lowered his head, and said silently in his heart: "Mother, this is the person I like. Father has already met him. I brought the child today, so I can see you too. If I can become a Taoist couple with my senior brother in the future, how can I return?" May Auntie be blessed by the spirit of heaven."

There was a thunderbolt outside the window, and dark clouds piled up layer upon layer. Not long after, there was a torrential rain. The sun was completely blocked by the dark clouds, and the bean-sized raindrops splashed on the ground, setting off patches of dust and smoke.

Yin Chengyu looked at Lin Xiuran with deep eyes, and stood up together after he got up, and said softly, "Let's go?"

The entire Lin family is protected by formations, and it is rare for such a shocking waterfall to rain.Most of the monks pay attention to the "unity of man and nature". This kind of abnormal heavy rain is not a good sign.

According to the guards outside the door, Lin Maozhi locked himself in the courtyard alone as in previous years. For some reason, Lin Xiuran always felt a little depressed in his heart. They walked out together with his hand, and held up the umbrella with the other hand.

Although the rain was heavy, Lin Xiuran could actually use his spiritual power to create a barrier, so he didn't have to worry about the rain splashing on his body, but Yin Chengyu still used an umbrella to cover Lin Xiuran tightly, for fear that he would get wet from the rain and catch a cold.

The entourages were about ten steps behind Lin Xiuran, and their steps were neat and silent, which showed that they were well-trained.Yin Chengyu led Lin Xiuran forward slowly in the torrential rain, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Xiu Ran, when I was eight years old, I was naughty, jumping up and down every day, and I was never determined. That day I had a fight with a few cousins, and the strike was a bit harsh. My father was furious and punished me to kneel down. One night in the ancestral hall, I fell asleep half the night in the ancestral hall, feeling bored, so I slipped out the window to play."

"It wasn't long before I slipped out that I heard a commotion in the yard. I was young and ignorant at the time, and thought it was my father who knew I had escaped and was arresting me all over the yard. I was afraid that he would be caught by him again. I was punished, so I ran to my mother's courtyard, hoping that my mother would intercede for me."

"But when I saw my mother, she, who had always been graceful, was disheveled and disheveled. She pushed me into the secret passage and told me not to make a sound no matter what. Although I was ignorant, I felt that something was wrong. Sealed, I can only see the blood of my relatives at home through the cracks, but I can't do anything."

"The Yin family was destroyed, and many aristocratic families who had made good friends in the past were eager to carve up the remaining magic resources. Even the casual cultivators who I despised the most in the past all entered the room in a grandiose way, and went to the bedroom of my father and mother. Nearly half a month later, when he was dying, he was taken back to the Yang family."

This was the first time Yin Chengyu told him about the extermination of the family. Lin Xiuran felt ashamed, and his eyes turned red after hearing half of it.

Yin Chengyu still said to himself: "Although the Yin family is not as prestigious as the Lin family, I am also the young master of the family. How have I ever endured the feeling of being dependent on others? At that time, the only thing I thought about was the word 'revenge'. There are members of the Lin family among them, so they secretly made up their minds that one day they will pay in blood."

"But then, I met you."
