One hundred and fifty-fifth chapters are indescribable
In ancient times, marrying late was not only considered unfilial, but also punished by the government in strict cases.
It's just that the dynasty that Lingyun lived in didn't happen to have such an express provision. If it had been placed in the previous dynasty, it would have been a disaster.
Occasionally in the Daqian Dynasty, there would be girls who got married at the age of eighteen, but they were from families that no one wanted and could not marry.
The final outcome is either to marry a widower or to die alone...
However, after this incident, no one in the Ling family dared to refute Ling Yun, and Yang only made circumstantial remarks to explain the meaning.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun was not moved and said boldly: If no one wants her, just keep her at home. Ling Yun is willing to raise her for the rest of her life.
As soon as these words came out, Yang was speechless and had no choice but to return in despair and not ask any more questions.
But what Ling Yun doesn't know is that even if you are willing to raise him, whether the Ling sisters are willing to raise her is another matter.
After all, not getting married and having children usually means ending up alone for the rest of your life.
Lingyun's starting point is good, but whether he can achieve good things remains to be seen.
When she heard Ling Yun relent, Yang's joy was self-evident. She was so ecstatic that if Ling Yun hadn't been right in front of her, she would have almost jumped up to celebrate.
Yang said goodbye to Ling Yun and went straight to Liang's room.
From time to time, the two people were laughing and talking in the room, wondering what they were discussing.
On this day in Lingshan County, a call came out. A dirty little man came from nowhere.
In the streets and alleys in the north of the city, people kept shouting loudly, "Outside, outside, the sister of the Ling family scholar is going on a blind date."
"Extra number, extra number, the elder sister of the Ling family scholar is going on a blind date."
...
The aunties in the alley were talking a lot, thinking that the scholar had made rude remarks and that the sisters would not get married until they were eighteen years old.
Calculating carefully, you are only seventeen years old this year?
Could it be that he has realized his mistakes and repented?
"Hey, Lao Li's family, have you heard that the Ling family's news came out today that their daughter and daughter are looking for in-laws?"
"Ouch! Old Sun, do you know about it too? I only heard about it this morning! I never thought the news would spread so fast."
In an alley in the north of the city, an aunt from the Sun family was drinking with an aunt from the Li family. They stood in the alley and discussed the marriage of the second child of the Ling family.
The aunt of the Sun family asked cautiously, "Old Li family, you said that this scholar is not allowed to get married if his sisters are under eighteen years old? Why did he suddenly change his mind? What do you think is going on?"
The aunt of the Li family smiled and said, "What else can be done? It should be the same! If I really wait until I am eighteen, I'm afraid no one will want me?"
The aunt of the Sun family glanced at the woman opposite and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. As long as Ling Xiucai is here, there is no reason why the Ling family can't marry a daughter. I once heard his father say that this Ling Xiucai is terrible. He was a talented person who became a scholar three years ago, when he was still a ten-year-old boy!"
Hearing what Aunt Sun said, Aunt Li seemed to think of something and said, "I heard you tell me that he is a powerful person! It's just that this scholar is of no use. I heard from my man that he has to cultivate talents to be useful." Well, as long as you win the election, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and you can sit at home and count your money."
The aunt of the Sun family suddenly felt that the topic had gone astray, so she corrected her, "Why are we talking about this? It is more interesting to talk about the marriage of the Ling family girl."
The Li family's aunt scratched her head and said, "That's right. I don't know who released the news. Why do you seem to know everything this morning?"
The aunt of the Sun family lowered her voice and said, "Who says it's not the case? I just don't know what kind of person comes to propose marriage."
Suddenly, someone walked by from the alley. The two of them remained silent in a tacit understanding, staring at the person.
Just when they thought the man was about to leave, they suddenly turned around, looked at Aunt Li and said, "Hey, Lao Li, have you heard that the girl from the Ling family is getting married?"
Aunt Li pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? How come you know this too?"
"I just passed by somewhere! I saw someone waiting at the door of Ling's house..."
The three of them were coming and going, it was so lively.
Gradually, more and more people joined in, and by accident, the alley was blocked.
As luck would have it, Ling Yun happened to be passing by the alley, and when he saw a bunch of people surrounding him, he couldn't help but become interested in gossip, and followed him to go up.
But who would have thought that this gossip topic would actually be about their Ling family.
Ling Yun instantly covered his face with his hands and ran away from behind in despair.
...
When he returned home near the door, Ling Yun glanced behind him with lingering fear and found that no one was following him, so he felt relieved.
I turned around and continued walking, only to find a group of people crowded near the door of Ling's house.
Ling Yun didn't know why, so he stepped forward and turned around. It was the Ling family, right?
What are these people doing here?
Ling Yun looked at the people around him and almost frightened his heart.
These people look really... too ugly, don't they?
Ling Yun wanted to leave, but his curiosity drove him to stay.
With curiosity in his heart, Ling Yun raised his hand to one of them, a man who was barely relatable, and said, "Brother, who is this to you?"
The man looked at him, saluted and said, "Oh, are you also a fellow Taoist?"
Ling Yun looked at him doubtfully.
Seeing Ling Yun surrounded, the man said happily, "Isn't it? That's really great. I just said, brother, you are so young, you don't look like it."
Ling Yun asked again, "What are you doing?"
The man pulled Ling Yun aside and whispered, "Didn't you hear that the second lady of the Ling family is getting married? We are all here to try our luck. If we are chosen, we will be really happy!"
"how do I say this?"
"Brother, are you not a local?"
Ling Yun pretended to nod.
The man pointed at the people around him and said, "You are not a local, but you don't know. Recently, the Ling family released news that the second young lady of the Ling family is getting married. These people are here to try their luck."
Ling Yun was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. He pointed at the people around him and said in a slightly trembling voice, "You mean, these people, including you, are all here for a blind date?"
He couldn't believe his ears. The appearance of these people was so... so unsatisfactory. It was really hard to describe!
The other party nodded and looked at Ling Yun in confusion, "Why is this little brother so pale?"
As he spoke, he reached out and gave Ling Yun a hand.
Ling Yun waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
The other party looked at him suspiciously, wondering why he was acting like this all of a sudden.
"I'm fine, I just can't stand the scorching sun, so I'm leaving."
Ling Yun said goodbye to him.
When the other party heard that Ling Yun couldn't stand the sun, he nodded in acquiescence to express his understanding.
But after Ling Yun walked away, he raised his head and looked at the faint sunlight, and then looked at Ling Yun who was walking away, and fell into deep contemplation.
