Chapter 57: Rival

Views:

Lin Qingyuan felt as if the crowd was moving away from him for a moment, the noise and shouting in his ears were gone, only the girl not far away smiled gently at him.

Lin Qingyuan's eyes were dazed for a moment, and when the people on both sides saw this, they turned back and called Lin Qingyuan noisily: "The champion is here, so afraid of Biwen? Lin Bianxiu, come and help out!"

Lin Qingyuan came back to his senses and secretly laughed at himself what happened. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, but still waved his hand resolutely: "No, Miss Cheng said so, how can I make a mistake?"

Everyone booed: "Lin Zhuangyuan is well-spoken, with first-class literary talent, and he never let go of his hand when debating with others before, how can he be so humble today?"

Lin Qingyuan's cheeks were a little red, but he couldn't tell from the crowd. He said, "I also have a younger sister. Miss Cheng is eager to protect my younger sister. I feel the same way and don't dare to go beyond it."

Seeing that Lin Qingyuan refused to help, everyone was disappointed, and they went to find someone else noisy. Seeing that everyone was distracted, Lin Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he relaxed, he suddenly felt a tremor behind him, and a chill ran along his back. He turned back quickly, and saw a person standing at the door, his whole body was out of tune with the festive occasion, and he was looking at him with no joy or anger at the moment.

Lin Qingyuan saw that he was coming, and he should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, the tense feeling of being targeted by danger did not diminish at all, but became more and more obvious. Lin Qingyuan smiled and waved to the person who came: "Jing Xing, why are you here?"

Others in the yard were busy picking up the bride, and not many people noticed Cheng Yuanjing's arrival. Cheng Yuanjing slowly walked down the corridor, glanced at Lin Qingyuan quietly, and said, "This is the Cheng family, why can't I come?"

Lin Qingyuan was startled, what happened to Cheng Yuanjing? Although he is cold, he is not a domineering temperament, but he has a good sense of distance. According to common sense, Cheng Yuanjing would not say such rude words.

Lin Qingyuan didn't think much about it, he thought that Cheng Yuanjing didn't like crowds, so he spoke in a straighter tone. Lin Qingyuan smiled generously and said, "Jing Xing, it's a pity that you didn't stop the door just now. If you were here, how could this group of people break the door so quickly."

When a man greets his relatives, he will be teased by his parents as usual, and his son-in-law should not be annoyed. If the woman has many uncles and brothers, it is necessary to please one by one. However, it is not enough to pass the man's level. The female family has no scruples, and it is even more vicious to make things difficult for the new son-in-law. There are some who beat them with a broom and a rolling pin. It is really trivial to ask questions .

Cheng Yuanjing did not interfere with his son-in-law, and he was not even interested in showing up. But just now, the servant reported that the welcoming team had gone to the second lady's new house, and they were making trouble there now. Cheng Yuanjing knew that with Cheng Yujin's character, she would never make trouble with everyone, but if the man made a fuss and bumped into her, it would be bad.

Cheng Yuanjing was not worried about Cheng Yujin, so he had to come to the yard where he greeted his relatives. Who would have thought that when he just came in, he saw such a scene.

In the crowd, Cheng Yujin turned back and smiled at Lin Qingyuan accurately, and even brought a request of intimacy when speaking. Cheng Yuanjing saw it clearly, and Lin Qingyuan was stunned.

Cheng Yuanjing was very sure at that moment, and Lin Qingyuan was moved. Cheng Yujin originally wanted to marry Lin Qingyuan, but now, Lin Qingyuan is gradually getting into trouble. Lang Youqing and concubine are interested, and anyone should praise her as a sweetheart. What can stop them from signing a marriage contract

Cheng Yuanjing was like a lion king whose territory had been violated, and the air-conditioning around him almost turned into substance. In the new house, Cheng Yujin was busy buying time for the house and didn't notice Cheng Yuanjing coming.

After all, the Huo family is different from the Yichun Hou Mansion. Huo Changyuan himself is good at martial arts, and the bridegroom he invited is also a young and talented person, but the Cheng family has no one who can do it, so Huo Changyuan was easily caught by the front door just now. Waiting for someone to break through. Seeing that the men from the Cheng family were so vulnerable, the welcoming team was so excited that they all felt that the wedding had already succeeded. Who would have thought, but at the last level, at the door of the bride's boudoir, she met the bride's sister, the eldest lady of the Cheng family.

Cheng Yujin and Shi Shiran stood in front of the screen with a dignified and generous manner. In fact, she didn't want to be as calm in her heart. Her gaze swept across the crowd, Huo Chang Yuan stood in the center with a bright red suit, exactly the same as the day she remembered. However, what does this mean, she will never marry him again in this life, whether Huo Chang Yuan is dead or alive, human or ghost, has nothing to do with her.

Cheng Yujin's mood did not fluctuate when she saw Huo Chang Yuan, and she was even annoyed. But now that she has a task at hand, she has to pretend. She glanced at Huo Chang Yuan and didn't want to look anymore, instead she was thinking about the two people beside Huo Chang Yuan.

Weddings, funerals, and marriages are important events. The dowry, dowry, and even the guests that can be invited on this day undoubtedly symbolize the face of the family. The people Huo Changyuan invited to welcome the relatives were very respectable. One was a two-ranked jinshi in the nineteenth year of Jianwu's reign, and he had a cousin with the Huo family. The other was very unexpected.

This was completely unheard of in the previous life. Cheng Yujin was curious and vigilant. What did Huo Changyuan do to ask the dignified prince to help him welcome his relatives? Cheng Yujin couldn't figure it out for a while, so she could only write it down temporarily and find out later.

Cheng Yujin knew that although she was famous, she had never studied the Four Books and Five Classics in an orthodox way, so she could only exploit her cleverness and language lawsuit to make a loophole. However, this trick is enough to fool people like Xu Zhixian, and it is absolutely impossible to fool people in front of people with a solid foundation.

She temporarily stabilized Lin Qingyuan, and looked at Zhai Yanlin calmly. Zhai Yanlin smiled, as if he was very interested in the scene in front of him and was not in a hurry to break it. Cheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief, she could last a few rounds without Lin Qingyuan and Zhai Yanlin intervening.

Cheng Yujin asked her questions unhurriedly. Her questions were all from classics, but the questions were all kinds of strange and the answers were very tricky. They were not orthodox questions, but more like brain teasers.

Zhai Yanlin looked at Cheng Yujin with interest. Since the news of marrying Cheng Yujin as his successor was mentioned to Mrs. Zhai last time, he suddenly has a huge interest in the eldest lady of the Cheng family. He only had to ask a little, and he learned a lot about her deeds. The more he knew, the more curious Zhai Yanlin was about this person, so when he heard that Huo Changyuan wanted to invite someone to greet him in person, Zhai Yanlin took the initiative to accept it.

Cai Guogong took the initiative to ask Ying, and the Huo family should have no share. In fact, Zhai Yanlin didn't care much about Huo Chang Yuan and Mrs. Hou, who was about to enter the house, much less so-called appreciation, giving face, etc. He was pure and interested in the bride's sister.

Now it seems that his choice is indeed correct.

Zhai Yanlin looked at Cheng Yujin with a smile. He knew that Cheng Yujin was beautiful before, but only today did he know that Cheng Yujin was well-dressed and beautiful beyond imagination. Today, she is wearing a white bottomed red blouse and a woven gold gourd knee and horse face skirt. Because she is still observing filial piety, the color is very light, but the fine patterns and embroidery have improved the delicacy of the whole person by several levels. .

Her blouse is tucked at the waist, and the corners and cuffs are trimmed with gold thread. Below is a horse-faced skirt that is smooth and shiny with no wrinkles. Stroke, it looks fresh and bright from a distance, swaying. And she didn't speak in a hurry, every movement was as graceful as etiquette, standing in front of the screen with hands clasped together was really amazing, and she didn't dare to come forward to disturb her.

The gentlemen who are not afraid of the sky and the earth dare to coax when they face their uncle Laozi, but standing in front of Cheng Yujin, who looks like a painting, they are very well behaved, and their words are much restrained, where is the rudeness just now.

Huo Chang Yuan looked at the person in front of him, it was only a step away, but it seemed like the end of the world. Huo Chang Yuan has not spoken since he entered the room, the bridegroom beside him guessed one after another, seeing that Cheng Yujin still had no intention of letting go, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The jinshi and the senior minister stabbed Huo Changyuan quietly and secretly, indicating that the auspicious time was coming, but Huo Changyuan seemed to have not heard, and kept his eyes in front of him. The bridegroom didn't wait for Huo Chang Yuan's response, and became more anxious and couldn't help but say, "Miss Cheng, the man should be married, and the woman should be married. Even if you feel sorry for your sister, you can't keep guarding the door and keep her from coming out, right?"

At this time, Forsythia came out and whispered something in Cheng Yujin's ear. Cheng Yujin heard the frown secretly, Fang Cai had a lot of hands and things were placed at will, but Cheng Yumo's hijab could not be found. Cheng Yujin felt that it was extremely difficult. She had already come forward, and she couldn't let people in halfway, but if they delayed the time, these men would be completely impatient.

Cheng Yujin concealed her emotions in a flash, and smiled generously: "Of course I don't want to let my sister out, but I want to marry the daughter of the Cheng family, and I always have to show my sincerity. Lord Huo, don't you think? "

It is clear that Cheng Yujin is using aggressive tactics, but who told men to eat this. Huo Chang Yuan was a little psychedelic, he actually knew that Cheng Yujin said these words casually, and she was the best at talking. But hearing her take the initiative to ask him, Huo Chang Yuan was still uncontrollably happy.

Perhaps, she deliberately made things difficult today, just because he was not angry that he quit his relatives and married another, so she deliberately did not let him enter the door? Thinking like this, the corners of Huo Chang Yuan's mouth couldn't help raising, and he deliberately ignored the look of the buddy beside him urging "the auspicious time is coming", and still looked forward with deep eyes, as if the only thing he had to pay attention to was Cheng Yujin in front of him , it doesn't matter if you go in to pick up Cheng Yumo.

The bridegroom didn't know Huo Chang Yuan's mood. When he was in a hurry to meet the auspicious friend, his tone of speech became faster and faster, and he was no longer merciful when he broke the question. Cheng Yujin was actually in a hurry. She didn't see anyone coming to inform her for a long time, so she could only bite the bullet for a while before giving the answer to the question just now.

When the jinshi and senior minister heard this, he frowned and said, "Miss Cheng, you are trying to make things difficult for you."

Cheng Yujin deliberately said: "What about making things difficult. The Marquis Jingyong is the head of a mansion, and the bridegroom he invited can also be both literary and martial, talented and talented. Could it be that all the lords are in the courtroom, but even me, the mystery of a boudoir girl Can't figure it out?"

When Zhai Yanlin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, his eyes were full of brilliance, and his gaze towards Cheng Yujin was no longer blocked: "Miss Cheng is very literary. Miss, please."

Cheng Yujin broke into a cold sweat, and when it was over, Zhai Yanlin was about to end. She secretly complained that if something went wrong, there must be a demon. When the maid came to speak, Zhai Yanlin and others also saw it. How much Zhai Yanlin could guess that Cheng Yujin's delay must have a reason. He kept fighting and didn't speak. On the one hand, he did not compete with young people, and on the other hand, he sold Cheng Yujin's face. Why is Zhai Yanlin stepping in now

Cheng Yujin sighed inwardly. She could only search her stomach and pick the most tricky one. If she hadn't read the answer, she wouldn't have been able to guess the question. However, after he finished speaking, Zhai Yanlin pondered for a while, and said three answers in a row, and he actually guessed it right the third time.

Cheng Yujin's brows moved, and the other bridegroom saw this, and immediately rushed in: "Miss Cheng, we have already guessed it. You have no reason to stop people this time, right?"

The bridesmaid rushed to the front, the men coaxed and followed, Cheng Yujin was caught off guard and almost fell. She staggered back two steps, her back was empty, and she was about to fall back. Cheng Yujin was taken aback and was about to exclaim when her arm was suddenly grabbed by a force. The opponent's palm was warm and unbelievably powerful. Cheng Yujin's half body weight fell on it, but his hand didn't sway, and he firmly supported her.

In the light and shadow iteration, Cheng Yujin looked up and saw the person behind her, surprised and surprised: "Ninth uncle?"

Cheng Yuanjing looked down at Cheng Yujin and looked at her very quickly: "Are you alright?"

Cheng Yujin shook her head, and with Cheng Yuanjing's strength, she had stood firm. But the strange thing is that after she stood firm, Cheng Yuanjing's hand was still on her forearm and did not let go. Now that everyone is there, Cheng Yujin is embarrassed and earns quietly, only in exchange for the stronger restraint of that palm. His strength was strong and restrained, and Cheng Yujin could feel that he exerted a lot of force, but her arm was not pinched at all.

Cheng Yuanjing pulled Cheng Yujin up. There was no expression on his face, but it made people feel heavy and depressed for no reason. When he spoke, the whole room became silent.

Cheng Yuanjing looked at Zhai Yanlin and smiled lightly, but the words he said were not gentle at all: "What's the point of Cai Guogong competing with a little girl of hers. I have also admired Cai Guogong's name for a long time. I have some knowledge and want to ask for advice."

Zhai Yanlin frowned as he watched Cheng Yuanjing protect people behind him, as if it was his possessions.
