Volume 2 Seeking Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 86 Showdown
On the evening of September 21, after dinner, Lin Jue sat under the window to polish the script of "The Legend of the West Chamber". He remembered the synopsis of the story and some classic singing segments, but Lin Jue needed to ponder carefully in the details of lines, dialogues, scenes, lighting, costumes and other aspects. Lin Jue felt like an all-rounder in a crew. Screenwriters, directors, props, lighting, etc., are all in charge, but it also fulfills the dream of a director in that life on earth. It's just that there is no way to unsubtly rule a few actresses, otherwise it would be an authentic director.
While he was meditating, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard outside. Lu Wu hurriedly went out and opened the door, but saw the chief housekeeper Zhao Liancheng standing in front of the door with a few small guards with lanterns.
Zhao ...... Butler Zhao? Lu Wu was a little flustered, few people came to his small courtyard, especially those in the main house. The housekeeper doesn't come a few times a year. In the inexplicable fear of those people in the main room, Green Dance faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Green Dance, is Lin Jue Gongzi in the house?" Zhao Liancheng asked with a smile.
"In ...... In, Zhao Steward's house, please. Midori said busily.
"Oh, no need. You go and ask Lin Jue Gongzi to come with us, and say that the family wants to see him. Zhao Liancheng said with a smile.
"Home...... The head of the house? Green Dance became even more flustered, she felt that something must be going to happen again, and she had only been stable for a few days, and she didn't know what was going to happen.
"Let's go. The head of the house is waiting. Zhao Liancheng frowned and shouted.
Green Dance hurriedly turned around with a shallow foot, and closed the door as soon as he entered the room. Lin Jue was holding the pen and writing, and asked without raising his head, "Who is here?" Are your little sisters whispering to you? ”
Lu Wu stepped forward and hugged Lin Jue's arm. Lin Jue turned his head to look, and Lu Wu's face turned pale under the light.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jue rested the brush on the pen holder and reached out to wrap his hand around her waist.
"Oh no, the family wants to see you. Zhao Liancheng is waiting for you at the gate of the courtyard, asking you and him to meet the head of the family. Midori said with tears in her voice.
Lin Jue was stunned, and then smiled: "The family wants to see me, and I will go to see him, why do you look like this?" ”
Green Dance said with difficulty: "Childe, Green Dance feels that something is going to happen, and Green Dance is very scared. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "What is going to happen?" You're a frightened bird, just talking. I'll come as soon as I go, don't think about it. What a pitiful little one. ”
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and scraped it on Lu Wu's nose, got up and said with a smile: "Bring the coat, I'll put it on to see the head of the family." ”
Lu Wu took the long coat in a panic and put it on for Lin Jue to wear, and his hands trembled when he buckled the buckle, obviously the tension in his heart had not been eliminated. Lin Jue felt a little funny, held her cheek and kissed her, comforted her a few words, opened the door and went out to the courtyard.
"Young Master Lin Jue, aren't you okay? The head of the house is waiting. Zhao Liancheng stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted, he was a little impatient to wait.
Lin Jue walked slowly and said with a smile: "Butler Zhao, can't you wait for such a while?" What's going on? Even if the sky falls, Steward Zhao can't be so anxious, you are in such a hurry, how can you make the maids below stable? ”
Zhao Liancheng saw Lin Jue, but he didn't dare to slack off in etiquette, bowed down and saluted: "I've seen the son, it's not that I'm in a hurry, it's the head of the family who is in a hurry." Am I not afraid that the head of the family will be in a hurry? The sky will not fall, even if it falls, isn't there still the head of the family and the heads of the family? We're just running errands. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "The big housekeeper can't help but think too low of himself, my Lin family's chief butler, when he leaves the Lin Mansion, he will be honored as a master." ”
Zhao Liancheng smiled: "Thank you Gongzi for lifting up." Without further ado, let's go this way. The head of the house is waiting in the front hall. ”
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and said, "Then please." ”
The four servants carried lanterns in front of them and behind them to sandwich Lin Jue and Zhao Liancheng in the middle, and a few of them turned around and left. Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Green Dance shouted, "Childe! ”
Lin Jue turned around and waved his hand and said, "Go back, tell Xiaohu to close the courtyard door, you go to bed early, don't wait for me." ”
Then he turned around and strode away. Green Dance's little hand was tightly clenched, and after watching the lantern around the courtyard wall from a distance, he returned to the courtyard and tied the courtyard gate with a heavy heart.
……
The lights and candles in the front hall of the Lin Mansion were bright, but in the huge hall, only one Lin Boyong sat alone. He sat quietly in the mahogany chair next to the table, holding a jade toad's toy object in his hand, his eyes thoughtful.
Lin Jue stepped into the hall door, and was very surprised to see that Lin Boyong was the only one in the hall. He thought that he was not the only one who was invited, maybe it was the affairs of the family that he needed to attend, but now it seems that this is not the case. Lin Jue also felt that something was wrong, thinking about Lu Wu's reaction just now, Lin Jue suddenly felt that he had been too comfortable recently, so that he got a little carried away and lost his sense of danger. Midori Dance was the sensitive creature that sensed danger before the disaster was approaching, and she was laughing at her just now, maybe her hunch was correct.
"My nephew has seen the head of the house." When Lin Boyong looked up, Lin Jue stepped forward and saluted.
Lin Boyong nodded, made a gesture, and the door of the hall was slammed shut. Lin Jue felt more and more that something big was happening.
"Sit, that one is freshly brewed tea, and it's still hot." Lin Boyong's attitude is very easy-going.
Lin Jue thanked him and sat down slowly, looking at Lin Boyong with his eyes.
"Don't be nervous, I called you here to talk to you. Speaking of which, as your uncle, I haven't had a good relationship with your nephew. It's also a busy family affair, so I didn't find the opportunity, and I'm really ashamed. ”
"Where does the head of the family say, the head of the family supports the Lin family's family business, the burden on his shoulders is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and hundreds of people open their mouths to eat. The head of the family has a lot of opportunities every day, and his busy feet don't touch the ground, where is there extra time? But the nephew failed to share the worries of the head of the family, which is the most ashamed. Lin Jue said with a smile.
Lin Boyong nodded slightly and said, "What you said is also nourishing. It shows that you are reasonable. Although you are a three-room concubine, I will speak from my heart. Among the sons of several houses, the old man is particularly optimistic about you. ”
Lin Jue smiled silently, and said in his heart: "What you said is too fake, is it interesting?" When am I a 3-year-old child? ”
"You may not believe it, when you were born, your father and mother invited Qin Daochang of Tianlongguan to tell your fortune by touching your bones, and Qin Daochang said that you have the image of great wealth and nobility. That Qin Daochang is a well-known half-immortal in Hangzhou City, and his fortune telling is extremely accurate. Since then, the old man has placed high hopes on you. Your name is Lin Jue, this name was given by the old man for you, do you know? Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue was a little surprised, he didn't know these things, the memory of his childhood and the origin of this name were not in his memory in this skin at all. And his own soul is possessed, and the memories he knows are only the memories of his skin. I can't remember the original skin, and of course I don't know it.
"Enlightened, enlightened. The old man gave you this name in the hope that you will have great enlightenment and achieve great success in the future. Moreover, there is another layer of meaning, that is, when you were a child, you refused to sleep peacefully, everyone else slept, and you still didn't sleep with your eyes open. When your father told me about this, he said that you were awake in the spring, and that you did not sleep all night. So the name is also suitable for you. Lin Boyong laughed.
Lin Jue's heart suddenly swelled with warmth, in this home, he had never had such a warm feeling. Lin Boyong, who was sitting in front of him, was a kind elder in the family at this moment, not some strict family master. This is the first time this has happened. Sitting and listening to Lin Boyong talk about what happened when he was a child, although this was not his own personal experience, it resonated emotionally.
"Thank you to the head of the family for giving my nephew a name, and my nephew will be a person who can realize and understand." Lin Juedao.
Lin Boyong glanced at Lin Jue lightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's been so long since these things happened, and you're already eighteen." In the blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed. The old man is already old and about to enter the ground, and the third brother has passed away for ten years. Your mother has been dead for five years. It's really time to get old, and this life is too short. ”
Lin Jue didn't know how to interject, Lin Boyong seemed to fall into a kind of emotion, and his body in a black robe also revealed a hint of aging and helplessness. The aura of the whole person is a little weaker.
"Lin Jue, you were only eight years old when your father died. In the past ten years, the old man has failed to fulfill his responsibilities and failed to fulfill the responsibility entrusted to me by your father to take good care of you, and the old man is deeply ashamed. The old man thinks that he only needs to let you be fed and clothed, and let you study and improve, but he neglects to communicate with you often and teach you the truth of life. These are all the old man's faults. On the first day of this year, I want to apologize in front of your father and ask him for forgiveness. ”
Lin Jue's heart tightened, and Lin Boyong's words changed, and there were many other meanings in his words. What does it mean to not teach yourself well, the implication is that you are already an uneducated person. Could it be ......
"The head of the family doesn't have to be like this, the spirit of the father in the sky will definitely be grateful to the head of the family, if it is not for the support of the head of the family, how can the nephew become an adult? The nephew is eighteen years old and has grown up. The head of the family also did his duty. Lin Jue replied quietly.
"Nope! I didn't do my duty, I didn't do what your father told me. Lin Boyong's voice became cold in an instant.
"Otherwise...... Otherwise, how could you become what you are now, and how could you ignore the Lin family's family rules and do so many things that harm the family and disrupt the house. How could you ignore and do those things that disregard the interests of the Lin family's blood and family, and put the Lin family in danger of annihilation? Lin Boyong's eyes were sharp, and he shouted.
