"It's all a matter of trouble to Uncle Lin." Chu Yangong cupped his hands and said.
Now that he can settle down in the Lin family, the first step of his plan has been achieved.
At this time, Lin Chongtian tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the seat. He looked at Chu Yan and said, "But nephew Chu Xian, there are still some things that I want to make clear to you. Before that, my Lin family is preparing to welcome you.
You received a sum of spiritual money and some gifts, but if I don’t punish you for what happened today, I can’t explain it to others.
In this case, I will withhold part of the things I originally planned to give you, and wait until you have settled in for the remaining two. If you have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can go to the Martial Arts Pavilion in Linjiabao outside the town and choose a martial skill.
A sharp tool.
Remember, from the moment you stepped through the door of my Lin family today, your identity belongs to my Lin family. I don’t want things like today to happen again.
As for your identity, wait until my father comes out of confinement and let him announce it in person. After all, this is his long-cherished wish."
"Yes, my nephew will remember it." Chu Yan cupped his hand and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lin, for taking care of me."
Just as he expected, Lin Chongtian's punishment for him was to lift him up high and put him down gently.
Calling it a punishment, it only took back gifts that Chu Yan had never considered at all, and not all of them were taken back, but a martial arts and a sharp weapon were left for him.
In order to deal with the killers sent by Chu Xing, Chu Yan lost the Qinggang Sword and the Soul-Destroying Gun. Now he is worried that he has no weapons in his hands. Lin Chongzhen sent him a pillow because he was sleepy. If he has time in the next two days, Chu Yan plans to
Go and have a look.
Chu Yan even suspected that the so-called "taken back gifts" did not exist at all. The martial arts and sharp weapons were Lin Chongtian's rewards for helping the Lin family solve the Ye family's trouble.
Naturally, Chu Yan would not ask more about the real reason for this.
Lin Chongtian quickly arranged for a Lin family servant to lead Chu Yan to the other courtyard of the mansion.
This villa is a small courtyard in the corner of the Lin family's mansion. It only covers an area of two or three acres, but it is quiet and no one will disturb it.
Chu Yan needed exactly this kind of place at this time.
After entering the room and sitting down for a while, Zhao Ji's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Chu, it's us."
Chu Yan estimated that it was time for them to arrive, so he opened the door and introduced Zhao Ji and Feng Ru, who looked strange at the moment.
Lin Chongtian's so-called "punishment" for Chu Yan has now spread through the mouths of concerned people in the Lin family.
This result can be said to have exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
Before this, everyone thought that Chu Yan's rude behavior today and his behavior of damaging the relationship between the two families would definitely be severely punished by Lin Chongtian.
After all, Chu Yan's identity is the Lin family's adopted son-in-law. Although it has not been officially disclosed, the senior leaders of the Lin family already know about it.
How dare a surrogate son-in-law dare to interfere with the master's family's decision, and even blatantly refuse to give the master's family face?
But in the end, Chu Yan was not punished at all.
The taste of this is very intriguing.
It was inconvenient for others to ask, but Zhao Ji and Feng Ru couldn't wait.
Their mood today can be described as ups and downs, so at this moment I really want to know what is going on.
After sitting down, Zhao Ji took the initiative to speak. It could be seen that he was very anxious at the moment.
"Brother Chu, there is no need to say more about the relationship between us. I want to know what is going on. Are you -" After hesitating, Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and said, "I knew you a long time ago."
If you do that, the patriarch will have this attitude, so he will be confident?"
"Yes." Chu Yan nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.
Feng Ru whispered: "How is this possible! The Ye family is also a high-ranking family in Changqing Town. Before the old man was promoted and the eldest lady detected the pure jade body, the Ye family's status was still with us.
Above the Lin family, how could the patriarch—"
"Brother Feng, the matter is actually very simple. Just listen to me and explain it to you." Chu Yan said.
"Okay, brother Chu, please speak." Zhao Ji's eyes flashed at this moment, and the word "please" was used in his words.
"Actually, when I first arrived in front of the Lin family's mansion, I already knew that the marriage between the Lin family and the Ye family would never succeed. At least the patriarch's attitude would not allow it to succeed," Chu Yan said.
"How do you say that?" Feng Ru asked hurriedly.
Chu Yan smiled and said: "As Brother Feng said before, the status of the Ye family was originally higher than that of the Lin family. The Ye family coming to propose marriage means that once they get married, the power of the two families will be gathered together.
For the Lin family, this is also a way to show their strength. This kind of thing should be a good thing for the Lin family. Logically speaking, the patriarch opened the door and wanted to let the whole town know, right? But when we came,
What I saw was that the door was closed, and there were members of the Lin family patrolling the area, and no one was allowed to approach.
This shows that the Lin family does not want anyone to know that the Ye family came to propose marriage today, because they cannot accept such a thing happening."
"Brother Chu, how do you know that this is what the clan leader meant?" Zhao Ji asked.
"Brother Zhao, do you still remember what the steward said when he wanted to capture me?" Chu Yan asked without answering.
Zhao Ji frowned and recalled: "At that time, he said that the deputy chief gave an order..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly opened and he understood instantly.
The deputy clan leader's order is obviously in favor of the marriage between the Ye family and the Lin family, and the Lin family's original intention is to refuse. In this way, with a little derivation, it can be concluded that the clan leader Lin is the one who is unwilling to marry with the Ye family.
Soaring to the sky himself.
Knowing that the other party had already figured it out, Chu Yan continued: "So this series of actions of mine can help the patriarch to reject today's marriage proposal of the Ye family, and the reason is also very good. The little genius of your Ye family is not the original one of my Lin family."
The choice of the son-in-law's opponent, and the Lin family cannot bear the infamy of marrying one daughter to another, is a last resort. In this way, the Lin family's rejection appears to be forced.
On the one hand, the Lin family can reject the Ye family, and on the other hand, they don’t have to take the blame, but throw the blame to me. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. I helped the clan leader accomplish it. How can he punish me?"
Listening to Chu Yan's analysis, Zhao Ji and Feng Ru realized that many details had already been placed in front of them, but they were so excited at the time that they didn't think about it carefully at all.
But Chu Yan was different. Not only did he stay calm, but he could analyze these key points in an instant, and he took a big gamble and had the courage to do all this.
Among them, what is more reflected is his absolute confidence in his own abilities.
He believes that his analysis is correct, and he believes in his own strength that he can solve all problems that may occur!
