More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The wedding in Linjiazhuang was also well prepared, the wedding date was set, invitations were sent out one after another, and the entire villa was decorated with lights and colors, making it extremely festive.
Zhuangzi's main courtyard has guests visiting almost every day, one after another. Most of the main characters have gone to receive them, and the rest are responsible for security and decoration tasks in various branches.
Lin Xinyuan was sitting on a stone bench in her small courtyard, with a pair of red peonies embroidered on her hand. There was a hint of loneliness in her expression.
"Sister Xinyuan, why are you sitting here alone?"
Cousin Huang Guangbi passed by the door and saw her, walked in and asked excitedly.
"Fortunately, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Lin Xinyuan said calmly.
"These days are my eldest brother's big day. Our Lin family is probably going to be very prosperous in the future. Why are you a little unhappy about such a huge happy event?" My cousin asked puzzledly, "I'm telling you, before
A few days ago, I was drinking with some friends at Baihualou in the city. We happened to have no room. It happened that a few young men who had looked down on me before saw a group of us passing by. Not only did they give me their rooms, but they also gave me their rooms.
He took the initiative to introduce the female relatives they brought one by one. "Wow, that tastes great." He didn't notice Lin Xinyuan's increasingly ugly face.
"I heard that a dance and poetry meeting was held in Qicheng a while ago, and I even sent you an invitation. This was something our family could not achieve in the past."
This guy kept talking.
"I'm not interested in these." Lin Xinyuan couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Um, sister, what are you interested in?" Huang Guangbi asked puzzledly. "Horse riding? How about I go for a horse walk with you?"
"My family won't let me. We have to go out and help when we are short of manpower." Lin Xinyuan shook her head helplessly.
"Sister" Huang Guangbi is still young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he shakes her hand coquettishly. "Let's go, let's go. What are you afraid of?"
Lin Xinyuan couldn't resist his insistence, so she put away the embroidery she was still practicing, changed into a horse outfit and went out.
As soon as I left the house, I saw a group of people arriving at the main courtyard of Zhuangzi. They were all neatly dressed in red and black belts.
There were two people in front of the team holding a big sign with the words: Longshan City.
"Welcome Lord Longshan City." Amidst a burst of laughter, Lin Zhiwen strode out, led a group of people to greet him, and entered the main courtyard with a short, fat father and son.
From a distance, the entrance to the main courtyard is bustling with activity. It is almost like two different worlds from the deserted side courtyards like them.
"Is today the date set?" Lin Xinyuan suddenly realized.
"Yes, yes, my eldest brother is getting married today. The invitations have been sent out, and people have been visiting one after another during this period. We can hardly arrange the rooms in the main courtyard." Huang Guangbi said with a smile. He is Lin Xinwen.
Lin Xinyuan is a playmate who slowly plays with Houcaihe. Although he has a straightforward personality, he often offends people because he can't speak. Only a few people like Lin Xinyuan can play with him.
The two of them had not gone far when they saw several people walking and chatting in the bamboo forest path, walking towards each other.
"Xinyuan? Come on, come on!" The person who came was suddenly Lin Xinyuan's uncle Zhao Ye. He was walking with a man in brocade robes and several young people from the younger generation.
As soon as he saw Lin Xinyuan, Zhao Ye smiled immediately.
"Brother Huang Ze, come on, come on. Let me introduce you to my niece Xinyuan." Zhao Ye pulled Lin Xinyuan and introduced, "My son Tian is the counselor of Xuanying Mansion. He is a young and talented young man. My niece is my favorite.
Dancing with swords and guns, riding horses and shooting arrows, it’s just a good opportunity for the two young people to interact with each other.”
Zhao Ye had no children, but he treated Lin Xinyuan as his own daughter.
Lin Xinyuan wanted to escape but was unable to do so. She had no choice but to be dragged over and chatted with another handsome young man. She followed behind.
Huang Guangbi could only follow him helplessly. Their plan to ride horses was in vain.
Since the wedding invitations were sent out, dignitaries from all over Yuefu City and those with some connections have come all the way here just to look familiar in front of the owner of the Lin Family Manor.
Lin Xinyuan hated this kind of situation from the bottom of her heart. She was very tired. The thought of her eldest brother getting married to a delicate and frail woman felt like a needle was pricking her heart.
"Jinyu Sect, Fairy Lu has arrived"
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice with a hint of excitement spread far away, penetrated the bamboo forest from the direction of the main courtyard, and reached the ears of several people here.
"The master disciple of the Jinyu Sect actually came here to support you. You are indeed the master of the Lin Family Manor." The man in the brocade robe couldn't help but trembled with a hint of compliment.
Zhao Ye was already smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, but he was still modest.
"Master Huang of Songlin Sword Sect has arrived"
Then there was another loud shout.
"Young Master of the Peacock Sect, the Master of the Peacock Sect has arrived."
"Master of Wanxiang Sect and Master of Shu Sect have arrived."
Lin Xinyuan and others heard the alarms one after another, and quickly walked towards the outside of the bamboo forest. Along the way, they could see through the gaps in the forest that there were many cars and horses moving on the avenue in the main courtyard. There was a lot of people and cars and horses.
Neighing, it's comparable to a market.
Lin Xinyuan faintly saw Lin Xinzheng walking and chatting with several slender and handsome men and women. They were surrounded by many experts for protection.
"Senior Brother Huang, Yu Hui Ruofei, and Yue'er, I didn't expect you all to come here together." After Lin Xin dealt with the master of Wanxiang Sect first, he came over with a joyful expression, pulling Kong Yuhui in yellow, and strode into the main courtyard.
In a large row of densely packed seats, I found the seat at the top and sat down.
Kong Yuhui brought Cheng Ruofei and Jiang Yue'er over and smiled when he heard this.
"Fortunately for me, Ruofei and Yue'er have special identities and their coming here has a bit of a big impact, so they just stayed with me."
"What does it mean to be mixed together? Don't you want me to come with you?" Jiang Yue'er seemed to have not changed her temper. She stretched out her hand to twist the soft flesh on Kong Yuhui's waist, which caused the latter to quickly beg for mercy.
Cheng Ruofei covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Lin Xin with a slightly lonely look in her eyes.
"Lin Xin, I should call you Senior Brother Lin now. I didn't expect you to make such rapid progress in just one year."
Since the last Yin blood incident, she took half a drop of Yin blood and broke through to the second level. After that, she had just taken on a few simple tasks to stabilize her cultivation when she heard the announcement that Lin Xin was promoted to an official disciple, and her heart was shocked.
Come on, hurry up.
"Why do we need to be so open to each other?" 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. You have to
Go back to the sect."
"Understood, don't worry, Senior Brother Huang, I won't forget this of course." Lin Xin said with a smile.
"Go and greet the disciples of the Jinyu Sect. They should be traveling nearby and attending the wedding." Huang Shan smiled and said.
"Then I'm rude. You guys sit down for a while and have some snacks. I'll be back when I'm gone." Lin Xin nodded.
He turned around and went to greet a few people from the Jinyu Sect.
Lu Qianqiu of the Jinyu Sect is a disciple of the acquired third-level realm. He was on an outing mission. Hearing that he was getting married, he indeed stopped by to have a look and say congratulations. However, Lin Xin looked at this guy as if he was just here to join in the fun.
People who don't know each other came to congratulate each other, not just to watch the fun.
More and more guests were sitting down. Under the guidance of the servants and clan members, everyone sat in their respective seats according to their status.
The hundreds of seats in the courtyard are almost full. There are lights and colorful decorations all around. On the stage set up in front, a troupe has begun to sing and play, with gongs and drums. Someone in the distance is setting off firecrackers.
The children were laughing and laughing, clapping their hands, and the maids stood at each seat to meet the needs of the distinguished guests at any time.
Everything seemed noisy but not chaotic.
Lin Xin went in and changed into red clothes, tied up his long hair that had not lost its luster for a long time, and tied a white belt embroidered with silver patterns around his waist. Except for a slender and inconspicuous red flower sword, he had no other weapons.
After letting his clansmen and servants greet the guests, he also sat down and chatted quietly with Kong Yuhui Huangshan and other people from the sect while watching the show.
As time passed, almost all the distinguished guests who were expected to come had arrived. It was getting late, and the theater troupe withdrew and was replaced by a team of musicians playing music.
All procedures were prepared and the parents took the main seat.
Lin Xin, dressed in bright red, took off his red flower sword and handed it to Huang Shi for safekeeping temporarily. He walked to the middle 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 walked slowly towards him, led by two boys and girls carved in pink and jade.
Behind her were Zhao Yuniang and her second aunt, looking at her with smiles.
The sound of the piano and bamboos flowed slowly, and Lin Xin smiled and looked at Xiao Lingling's face covered with a scarf. Through the red color, he could faintly see the happy and sweet smile of the woman inside.
Stretching out his hand, he gently took Xiao Lingling's hand.
Snap.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound, as if something was breaking.
This sound was extremely abrupt in the bustling main hall. It almost suppressed everyone else's voices and was very conspicuous.
Lin Xin couldn't help but follow the sound and looked towards the yard outside the door.
There was a figure there, standing alone in the middle of the courtyard at some unknown time. It was a familiar figure that he least wanted to see at the moment.
His hand froze in mid-air, still some distance away from Xiao Lingling's hand, but he did not move forward.
Xiao Lingling waited for a while and looked at Lin Xin with some doubts, but saw that his smiling face slowly became silent.
People around were a little confused and discussing in low voices. Lin Zhiwen, who was sitting in the high hall, raised his eyes and looked towards the yard outside the door.
The sound of silk and bamboo music should have reached the final part at this time. At this time, an abnormality was discovered, and it slowly stopped in a chaotic manner.
"Senior Brother." An Ying was dressed in plain white, holding a sword upside down with one hand and looking up at Lin Xin. "I haven't seen you for a long time, 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.
"Are you still wearing such a red dress because you want to surprise me?"
