More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Family Manor's big wedding was also well prepared, the wedding date was set, invitations were sent out one after another, and the whole villa was decorated with lights and festoons, making it extremely festive.
The main courtyard of Zhuangzi has guests visiting almost every day, and most of the main figures have gone to receive them, and the rest are responsible for security and decoration tasks in each branch courtyard.
Lin Xinyuan sat on a stone bench in her small courtyard, lightly embroidering a pair of red peonies in Baijuan. There was a hint of loneliness in his expression.
"Sister Xinyuan, why are you sitting here alone?"
Cousin Huang Guangbi passed by the door and saw her, walked in and asked excitedly.
"It's okay...just a little uncomfortable." Lin Xinyuan said calmly.
"These days are big brother's big day. Our Lin family is going to be prosperous in the future. Why are you a little unhappy about such a big happy event?" My cousin asked puzzledly, "Let me tell you, the former A few days ago, I was drinking with some friends in the Baihua Building in the city. It happened that there was no room. It just so happened that those masters who didn’t think much of me before saw our group passing by, not only gave me their room, but also He took the initiative to introduce the female relatives they brought one by one. Tsk tsk...that taste..." He didn't pay attention to Lin Xinyuan's increasingly ugly face.
"I heard that Fengqi City held a phoenix dance poetry meeting a while ago, and even sent you a special invitation post. Our family couldn't reach this level before."
The guy talked on and on.
"I'm not interested in these." Lin Xinyuan couldn't help interrupting him.
"Er... what are you interested in, sister?" Huang Guangbi asked puzzled. "Horse riding? How about I go for a walk with you?"
"The family won't let us. We have to go out and help out when we are short-handed." Lin Xinyuan shook her head helplessly.
"Sister..." Huang Guangbi was still young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and shook her hand coquettishly. "Let's go, what are you afraid of?"
Lin Xinyuan couldn't hold him back, so she put away the embroidery she was still practicing. Changed his horse and pretended to go out the door.
As soon as he went out, he saw Zhuangzi's main courtyard, and a group of people ushered in at the gate, all of them were neatly dressed with red background and black belt.
There were two people in front of the team holding a big sign with the words: Longshan City.
"Welcome City Lord Longshan!!" Amidst bursts of laughter, Lin Zhiwen strode forward and led a group of people to greet him. He entered the main courtyard with a pair of pudgy father and son.
From a distance, the entrance of the main courtyard is very lively, and the desertedness of these side courtyards is almost like two worlds.
"Is today the fixed date?" Lin Xinyuan suddenly realized.
"Yeah, big brother is getting married today, and the invitations have been sent out. During this time, people have been visiting one after another. The rooms in the main courtyard are almost full." Huang Guangbi said with a smile. He was Lin Xinyuan's playmate who slowly played with Lin Xinyuan after Lin Xin left, but he had a straightforward personality, but because he couldn't speak, he often offended people, and only a few people Lin Xinyuan could play with him.
The two did not go far. I saw a few people walking and chatting in the bamboo forest path, walking towards them.
"Xinyuan? Hurry up!" The person who came was Lin Xinyuan's uncle, Zhao Ye, who was walking with a man in a brocade robe and a few younger generations.
Seeing Lin Xinyuan and Lin Xinyuan, Zhao Ye immediately smiled.
"Brother Huang Ze. Come, come, let me introduce you to my niece Xinyuan." Zhao Ye pulled Lin Xinyuan to introduce her. "Your son Tian is a general in the Xuanying Mansion, a young talent, my niece, what I like most is dancing swords and guns. Riding horses and archery, it happens that the younger generations of the two families can also communicate with each other."
Zhao Ye had no children, but he treated Lin Xinyuan as his own daughter.
Lin Xinyuan wanted to escape, but she still didn't have time, so she could only bite the bullet and was pulled over, chatting with another handsome young man, and followed behind.
Huang Guangbi could only helplessly follow along. The plan of the two of them to ride horses was also a failure.
Since the wedding invitations were sent out, all the dignitaries and well-connected people from all over the Yuefu City have come all the way, just to get acquainted with the owner of the Lin family.
Lin Xinyuan hated this kind of occasion from the bottom of her heart. She was very tired, and when she thought of her eldest brother marrying such a delicate and weak woman, she felt like a needle was pricking her heart.
"Jin Yuzong, Fairy Lu is here!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice with a hint of excitement spread far away, pierced through the bamboo forest from the direction of the main courtyard, and reached the ears of several people here.
"Golden Jade Sect's high-ranking student actually came to support him for saving face! He is indeed the owner of the Lin family!" The man in the brocade robe couldn't help but tremble, with a hint of flattery.
Zhao Ye couldn't even close his mouth with a smile, but he kept being humble.
"Master Huang from the Pine Forest Sword Sect is here!!"
Then there was another shout.
"The young master of the Peacock Sect, the master of the Confucius Sect is here!"
"Master of the Vientiane Sect, the master of the Book Sect is here!"
Lin Xinyuan and the others heard the announcements one after another, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest. Along the way, through the gaps in the forest, they could see many carriages and horses moving on the avenue of the main courtyard. Neighing, it is comparable to a market.
Lin Xinyuan vaguely saw that Lin Xin was walking and chatting with several slender and handsome men and women, surrounded by many masters to protect them.
"Senior Brother Huang, Yuhui Ruofei, and Yue'er, I didn't expect you to come here together." After Lin Xin had dealt with the master of the Vientiane Sect first, he came over with a joyful look and pulled Kong Yuhui in the yellow shirt, striding into the main courtyard, In a large row of densely packed seats, I found the top seat and sat down.
Kong Yuhui brought Cheng Ruofei and Jiang Yueer over together, and laughed when he heard this.
"I'm fine. Ruo Fei and Yue'er have special identities, and they have had a big influence over here, so they just hang out with me."
"What do you mean getting mixed up? Don't you want me to be with you?!" Jiang Yue'er seemed to have not changed her temper, she stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh around Kong Yuhui's waist, the pain caused the latter to beg for mercy.
Cheng Ruofei covered her mouth and smiled slightly, looking at Lin Xin with a slightly lonely look.
"Lin Xin, I should call you Brother Lin now. I didn't expect you to improve so fast in just one year."
Since the last Yinxue incident, she took half a drop of Yinxue and broke through to the second floor. After just accepting a few simple tasks and stabilizing his cultivation, he heard the announcement that Lin Xin had been promoted to a full-time disciple. His heart was shaken and he hurried over.
"You and I still need to be so alien?" Lin Xin said with a smile.
"It seems that your relationship is better than I thought." Huang Shan sat down and drank a cup of tea, "Brother, I have arranged your formation for you. After attending the wedding, don't forget the one-year period. Go back to Zongmen."
"Understood, don't worry Senior Brother Huang, I will never forget this." Lin Xin smiled.
"Hurry up and greet the disciples of the Jin Yuzong. They should have traveled nearby. By the way, they are here to attend the wedding celebration." Huang Shan smiled and said.
"Then I'm going to be rude first. You guys sit down first and have some snacks. I'll come when I go." Lin Xin nodded.
Turning around, he went to greet several members of Jin Yuzong.
Jin Yuzong Lu Qianqiu is a disciple of the acquired third-level realm. He is on a mission when he hears that he is getting married. It is true that I came here to take a look and say hi, but no matter how Lin Xin sees this guy, it seems that he is just here to join in the fun. People who didn't know each other came to congratulate each other, not to watch the excitement.
There are more and more guests sitting down. Under the guidance of the servants and clansmen, everyone sat in their respective positions according to their status.
The hundreds of seats in the courtyard are almost full. There were lights and festoons around, and on the stage set up in front, some opera troupes had begun to sing, beating gongs and drums. Someone set off firecrackers in the distance, and the children laughed and clapped their hands. The maids stand one at each seat to meet the needs of the guests and VIPs at any time.
Everything seemed noisy and not chaotic.
Lin Xin went in and changed into a red dress, tied up his long hair that hadn't waned for a long time, and tied a white embroidered silver phoenix belt around his waist. Except for a slender and unremarkable red flower sword, there are no other weapons on his body.
Let the clansmen and servants greet the guests, and he also sat down, chatting quietly with Kong Yuhui Huangshan and several other people from the sect to watch the show.
As time passed, all the distinguished guests who were due to come had almost arrived, and as it was getting late, the theater troupe withdrew and replaced with a team of musicians who played music.
All the procedures were prepared one after another, and the parents took the main seat.
Lin Xin was dressed in bright red, untied the red flower sword, and handed it to Huang Shan for temporary safekeeping. He walked to the center of the lobby with a smile, and looked at Xiao Lingling who was being led by a group of female relatives.
Xiao Lingling was covered with a red scarf, and was slowly walking towards him led by two virgin boys and girls carved in pink and jade.
Behind her, Zhao Yuniang and the second aunt were watching with smiles.
The sound of piano and silk bamboo was flowing slowly, Lin Xin smiled and watched Xiao Lingling's face covered with a turban. Through the red color, one can vaguely see the happy and sweet smile of the woman inside.
Stretching out his hand, he gently took Xiao Lingling's hand.
Snapped.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound, as if something broke.
This sound was also very abrupt in the entire busy main hall. Almost suppressed everyone else's voice, very conspicuous,
Lin Xin couldn't help but followed the voice and looked towards the yard outside the door.
At some point, there was a figure standing alone in the middle of the yard. It was a familiar figure that he was most unwilling to see at this moment.
His hand froze in mid-air, there was still some distance away from Xiao Lingling's hand, but he didn't go any further.
Xiao Lingling waited for a while, and looked at Lin Xin with some doubts, but saw his smiling face, which slowly fell silent at this moment.
People around were a little puzzled and discussed in low voices. Lin Zhiwen, who was sitting in the high hall, looked up at the yard outside the door.
Originally, the silk and bamboo music should have just reached the first part at this time, but at this time, it found something abnormal, and it also stopped slowly in a somewhat messy manner.
"Eldest brother." An Ying was dressed in plain white clothes, holding the long sword upside down with one hand, and looked up at Lin Xin. "Long time no see... Senior brother, what are you doing?"
She suddenly laughed, and her originally delicate face suddenly became brighter.
"So many guests, and...so many red lanterns...."
Her voice began to tremble slightly.
"You... are you still wearing such bright red clothes... are you trying to surprise me?"
There was a hint of disbelief in her tone.
Lin Xin was silent. (~^~)
