Ling Yun looked disappointed and shook his head slightly.
"Yun'er, what happened?"
"Well, the girl's parents don't seem to like me very much."
"It's that family. Tell my wife, I want to see who is so bold and dares to embarrass our Yun'er. I have to come to see him for comment."
"Master's wife, please don't be angry. Yun'er can handle it. Don't worry. It's probably just a finishing touch."
…
One week after that, Ling Yun and Luo Tianyi finally met. As for the reason for the meeting, it was because Luo Jingtong lifted Luo Tianyi's restriction and she was able to enter and leave Luo Mansion freely.
When they met, Luo Jingtong did not let the two of them get along alone. Luo Tianyi was always followed by two big men, who looked fierce and vicious, which was particularly scary.
As for the old guy Luo Jingtong, I just don't trust him, for fear that he, a scoundrel boy, will do something shameless.
For example, it is not impossible to kidnap someone away. The most important thing is that Luo Tianyi is willing to go with him.
Ling Yun must have felt uncomfortable being stared at all the time. As a last resort, he went to Luo Jingtong and said seriously, "Father-in-law, what do you want to do to agree to the marriage between my sister Tianyi and me?"
Luo Jingtong was silent at first, and then kept scanning his body with his eyes. After about half a cup of tea, he said expressionlessly, "Top three Jinshi."
Ling Yun didn't even think about it and blurted out, "It's a deal."
Without thinking about Ling Yun, Luo Jingtong was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's hard to catch up with a horse."
"Father-in-law, if my son-in-law meets your requirements, you won't be looking for trouble again, right?"
"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the kind of person who doesn't mean what he says?"
"But…"
"There is no but, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold, and this place is worth at least ten thousand gold."
Ling Yun: "..."
Just like that, Luo Jingtong replied that if he wanted to go further, he had to get into the top three in the examination. After that, Ling Yun's level of study could be said to be desperate.
Working day and night, it was common for him to stay up late and study at night, but he also paid special attention to physical exercise and balanced work with rest. He didn't want to break his body before he even started taking exams.
The winter in the capital was extremely cold. If it weren't for the charcoal fire, Ling Yun would not be able to get out of bed. However, even in the severe cold winter, he still did not stop reading.
Sharpening a gun temporarily could not be as pragmatic as his studying day and night, studying in the morning, writing articles in the afternoon, and occasionally going out for a walk in the evening.
As the exam is approaching, you can clearly notice that there are many more people dressed as scholars in the streets and alleys of the capital. Perhaps it is because everyone is nervously preparing for the exam, and few scholars come out to hang out.
My wife, who was engrossed in reading, time flew by so fast that she entered the twelfth lunar month without paying attention. The atmosphere of the new year was getting stronger and stronger. The powerful man looked at the distant south and was filled with emotion.
Maybe from the moment he stepped out of Lingshan County, it meant wandering, or could he be called a dream chaser?
He used to hear people say that if you achieve success and become famous, you can return home with honor, but in ancient times, if people who have left home want to go home, it will become a luxury.
Perhaps sensing his sadness, Mrs. Li took his hand and asked gently, "Yun'er, are you homesick?"
Ling Yun did not deny it, looking at the heavy snowfall, he nodded in acquiescence.
Mrs. Li said some words of comfort to him, but he didn't listen to much. He understood the truth, but it still took time to adapt.
This is the first time in sixteen years that I have not gone home to celebrate the New Year. Maybe this is just the beginning, and it will continue to be like this in the days to come!
Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably sad. During the festive season, he misses his relatives even more. This poem is the finishing touch. Only when others are reunited but you feel out of place, you will not miss your relatives far away even more.
Although he is sentimental, Ling Yun is an optimistic and rational person. He can feel emotional, but he cannot hold it in his heart, otherwise he will easily get heart disease. Therefore, Ling Yun's emotion goes as quickly as it comes.
On the night of New Year's Eve, Ling Yun made several red envelopes. Early the next morning, he went to Luo Mansion to wish Luo Tianyi New Year's greetings. It must be said that Luo Mansion was really lively, and the Li family still seemed a bit incomparable.
dull.
"Tianyi, look what I brought you."
Ling Yun took out the homemade red envelope and put it in her hand.
"Ling Lang, what is this?"
Luo Tianyi looked at the small red envelope and thought it was a blessing written by Ling Yun. She just took it and touched it, but she felt something was wrong. She felt like there was something inside, so she asked this question.
Ling Yun then explained, "Tianyi, this is New Year's money."
Luo Tianyi tilted his head, blinking his bright eyes with a puzzled expression, and asked curiously, "New Year's money, so is it filled with money?"
"Tianyi is really smart, she understands everything about being a husband."
"Of course! I'm from the capital...you, you hate me."
At first she didn't realize the meaning of his words, but when Luo Tianyi came to her senses and heard him calling himself husband, she immediately blushed, clenched her frozen red fists, and lightly beat his chest.
Seeing her coy and cute look with her head lowered, Ling Yun's blood pressure soared. He couldn't hold it back and tilted his head to lean on her.
Perhaps because he felt the man's unique aura, Luo Tianyi was at a loss, clutching his heavy coat tightly with his little hands that had nowhere to go.
Ling Yun originally just wanted to see her shy look and tease her, but when he lowered his head sideways, Luo Tianyi actually closed his eyes obediently.
How could he, being so sensible, disappoint her and immediately approach her quietly.
Time passed slowly, and the two people got closer and closer. Their clothes were already close to each other. At the same time, they could clearly feel each other's rapid breathing. The moment Ling Yun made up his mind to kiss, there was a coughing sound behind him.
.
This cough immediately woke the two of them up. Before Ling Yun could move, Luo Tianyi pushed him away and took two or three steps back in a hurry.
Ling Yun did not expect that Luo Tianyi would push him away and fell to the ground without paying attention.
Luo Tianyi's expression was erratic. After he calmed down and took a look, he saw the person clearly and immediately seemed a little shy and uneasy.
"Daughter, please say hello to daddy."
Sure enough, the culprit was Luo Jingtong, his father-in-law who did both bad and good things.
In Ling Yun's heart, if anyone is so hateful, it is Luo Jingtong who always appears at the most critical time for the two of them when their relationship is heating up, thereby ruining their sweet moments.
"Well! I was counting the time and didn't see you coming to say hello, so I came over to take a look."
Although Luo Jingtong explained why he appeared here, Ling Yun didn't want to hear the explanation and didn't want to pay attention to him. He just pretended not to see him.
