New and dark light years

Chapter 234 Go out and have a look
Six days later, at noon.

Xu Rong looked at the plaque of 'Wangfu' with a very interesting expression.

There was some joy, but also some worry.

Li Lin stood beside her, waiting quietly.

Not long after, Wang Tianyou rushed out.

He first bowed to Li Lin and said, "Supervisor Li... Distinguished guest, please come in."

"No, I still have to go to Mount Tai later." Li Lin clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "I'll also bring Miss Xu back while I'm at it."

“Auntie…” Wang Tianyou looked at Xu Rong, his expression somewhat subtle.

Li Lin continued, "I only asked Lady Xu Rong for the mental cultivation method of the 'Hanshan Taisu Jing', and nothing else."

Wang Tianyou was somewhat surprised, but then his expression became even more enthusiastic: "Supervisor Li truly deserves to be called a gentleman."

He then said to Xu Rong, "Auntie, you've worked hard too. Go back and rest first. Your room is as it was, it hasn't been touched."

Xu Rong looked at him with some surprise.

Wang Tianyou smiled and said, "My father said that if you ever come back, this will still be your home."

Xu Rong gave a bitter smile: "If that's the case, why did he give me away in the first place?"

"My father also had his reasons."

Xu Rong sighed softly and stepped inside.

"Then I'll take my leave now," Li Lin said with a smile.

Wang Tianyou quickly cupped his hands in farewell: "Respectfully seeing off Supervisor Li."

He quickly came out and watched as Li Lin got into a carriage.

Inside the carriage, there were two figures, who, judging from their figures, were likely women.

"In four days, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony for Prefect Wang's youngest daughter," Wang Tianyou said with a smile, leaning against the carriage window. "I'll catch up with Supervisor Li then."

"it is good!"

The two then went their separate ways.

The carriage swayed and rattled as it arrived at Prefect Wang's residence.

When Huang Qing got out of the carriage, the gatekeeper had already sent someone to inform him. When Huang Qing arrived at the gate, he saw Huang Ling running out.

"Big sister!" Huang Ling's forehead was slightly sweaty. She looked at Huang Qing happily and said, "I didn't expect you to come all the way from Yulin County."

Generally speaking, even wealthy families would not travel far away casually, as life is difficult and long journeys are very risky.

A journey of five or six days is already considered a long trip.

"She's almost a grown woman, yet she's still so impulsive."

Huang Ling laughed and said, "So we should take advantage of these last few days to go crazy."

"Nonsense." Huang Qing pinched her younger sister's nose.

The two of them have been very close since they were young.

Then Huang Ling looked at Li Lin and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law, for bringing my sister over."

She knew very well that a woman should obey her husband after marriage.

Huang Qing could not have come from Yulin County without Li Lin's consent.

Agreeing is one thing, but getting the person escorted over is even more difficult.

She largely approves of Li Lin's approach on this point.

"No need to be polite, we're all family, it's only right," Li Lin said with a smile.

"Come in, come in."

Huang Ling beckoned them into the backyard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hongluan directed the servants in the Huang household to take out several small boxes from the carriage and carry them to the storeroom.

These were all gifts selected by Huang Qing.

He sat down in the backyard, and soon after, a servant invited him to the study.

Huang Yan sat in the main seat, exuding an imposing aura: "My dear son-in-law, don't spoil Qing'er too much. You are far away in Yulin County. It's not easy for you to come all this way. It's tiring and dangerous. You didn't have to come. It's probably because Qing'er begged you."

"No, it was my idea." Huang Yan didn't believe it, but he didn't want to talk about this family matter anymore. Instead, he said, "Qi'er has already gone to Lu County, and the Third Prince has also established himself there."

Li Lin frowned and said, "But about a third of the land in Lu County is occupied by the Northern Di people, which is somewhat dangerous."

“Jade must be carved to become a useful object. This applies to both my Qi’er and the Third Prince.” Huang Yan laughed. “Many people think that sending the Third Prince to Lu County is an attempt to use someone else to do their dirty work. But in my opinion, isn’t this also a kind of… training?”

Li Lin nodded; he understood what Huang Yan meant.

"Also, I heard that the Immortal Execution Society has caused you trouble twice. You don't need to clash with them; these people... pose little threat to the nation."

Li Lin said helplessly, "But they kill indiscriminately. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all."

"Anyway, just be careful. If you can't beat them, you can beg for mercy, and I'll find a way to help you."

"Thank you very much, Taishan."

Huang Yan waved his hand and then said, "On the day of Ling'er's coming-of-age ceremony, the Fang family will also send someone to propose marriage. Their people are a bit arrogant. If they offend you then..."

"I'll back down then." Li Lin nodded to indicate that he understood.

"No, I mean, if their people are really arrogant, you can help me deflate their arrogance."

"Ok?"

Huang Yan laughed and said, "When your daughter marries out, you can't just be submissive to earn her respect. Sometimes you have to give them a sharp rebuke."

Li Lin chuckled softly, "I understand."

Huang Yan also laughed. He personally liked Li Lin, his eldest son-in-law, very much.

She is capable and sensible.

After that, Li Lin stayed at the Huang residence.

The mansion has five courtyards and plenty of side rooms to accommodate guests.

Li Lin usually cultivates in his room, occasionally going out for a walk to chat with Huang Yan and discuss current affairs.

Then four days passed quickly.

This day was Huang Ling's coming-of-age ceremony.

The entire house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Many distinguished guests arrived from early morning.

By noon, all the wealthy families in Tianjin had sent their relatives to attend.

In her boudoir, Huang Qing tied up the ends of her younger sister's hair and then placed a hairpin with dangling ornaments on top.

The golden phoenix swayed beside her cheek, looking shimmering.

"In the blink of an eye, my sister has grown up and is ready to get married."

Huang Ling blushed slightly.

Not long ago, her mother dragged her into the house and forced her to read a strange book.

Then she learned a lot of things.

Of course... it's just theory, but I won't say anything like "reinventing my sister's wisdom" anymore.

"Eldest sister, I estimate I'll get married around July this year and then go back to the capital with my husband." Huang Ling's expression was wistful, with a hint of sadness: "At that time, we sisters will be separated by the south and the north, and it won't be as easy for us sisters to meet again as it is now."

Madam Huang, who was also nearby, scolded upon hearing this, "You're overthinking it. Although you returned to the capital earlier, your father will return in a few years and ascend to high office. He will definitely find a way to bring his eldest son-in-law to the capital then, so don't worry."

"That's great!" Huang Ling said happily.

Just then, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, accompanied by screams.

At this moment, Hongluan rushed in and said urgently, "Madam, and Miss... People outside say that my husband hit someone."

Everyone in the room was taken aback by these words.

Huang Ling was immediately displeased: "Today is my day... never mind, let's go out and take a look."

The group went out and soon arrived at the hall of the third gate, where a large crowd had gathered to watch the excitement.

In the center of the crowd's line of sight, there was one person standing and one person lying down.

Standing there was Li Lin, who clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, saying, "You flatter me."
