New and dark light years

Chapter 268 The Dragon's Aura Appears at the Huang Mansion

After the important matters were settled, Huang Yan's expression relaxed a bit.

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a while longer, and Huang Yan asked, "You and Qing'er, will you stay at home this time, as usual?"

"Qing'er will need to trouble Taishan for a few days, so I will stay at the government office's post station for now."

Huang Yan's expression froze for a moment: "That's absolutely impossible."

How can a daughter and son-in-law come from afar only to live separately?

Li Lin laughed and said, "If I were here, it might affect the relationship between the two sisters again. Lingmei is about to marry far away to the capital, so let's not let anything bad happen at this time."

Huang Yan thought this made sense.

He didn't know why, but his youngest daughter had a lot of complaints about her eldest son-in-law.

"Alas, in the end, it's my fault for not raising my daughter well." Huang Yan gave a bitter smile: "But this isn't good for you."

After all, the fact that the son-in-law was "sent" to stay at the inn is something that outsiders can interpret in many ways.

However, Huang Yan thought about it and came up with a solution.

"Since you have your own ideas, I won't force you. But I still hope you can come and see me on the day Ling'er goes out."

"I will definitely be there."

"it is good!"

Having said that, Li Lin should have left by now.

At this moment, Huang Yan suddenly said, "From now on, if anyone dares to attack you on the road, kill them all, especially those bald ones."

Li Lin stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your humble servant obeys."

Then Li Lin left the backyard.

He understood Huang Yan's meaning; it seemed the imperial court was about to take action against Buddhism.

This is quite normal, considering that although the current emperor doesn't do much official business, there's still a group of civil officials managing the country.

With the Buddhist community making so many big moves lately, they must have received the news.

Li Lin found a house to stay in at the post station next to the government office.

At first, the person in charge there was very surprised.

After all... as the son-in-law of the local prefect, Li Lin had traveled a long way from Yulin County, so he should at least stay at home.

Could it be that he has offended his father-in-law?

But their doubts were soon dispelled.

Several maids came from the Huang residence to serve Li Lin's daily life.

Li Lin felt a little uncomfortable, but he understood Huang Yan's deeper meaning, so he did not refuse.

Meanwhile, when Huang Yan returned to his backyard, he saw his eldest and youngest daughters sitting together chatting.

The two got along very well, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ah Da." Huang Qing stood up and bowed slightly.

"You must be tired after walking for several days, why don't you take a rest first?"

Huang Qing shook his head: "My daughter has cultivated the true method, and now she is full of energy and spirit. She can go three days and three nights without sleeping and not feel sleepy!"

However, there are exceptions. If you cultivate with Li Lin, you will feel sleepy in less than half an hour.

I was still so sleepy that I didn't want to move a single finger.

Huang Ling, listening from the side, was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that amazing?"

Huang Qing nodded.

Huang Yan became interested and said, "Then let's give Ah Da a performance."

Huang Qing looked around, then saw the blue stone square table in front of him. He raised his right hand, making a sword shape, and slashed down directly.

Swish.

One corner of the bluestone was cut off.

Huang Yan and Huang Ling's eyelids twitched as they watched.

The stone table was at least as thick as an adult man's fist, but Huang Qing cut it off directly.

The problem was that hers was still pink and tender. Huang Ling held Huang Qing's hand, looking left and right, her eyes full of confusion.

Huang Yan seemed to know something about it, and he asked, "How much time did it take you to get to this level?"

"I started practicing martial arts less than ten days after marrying my husband, so it's been a little over half a year now."

"That's too fast." Huang Yan stroked his beard.

Huang Qing laughed and said, "Luan'er can do it too."

The two then looked at Hongluan beside them.

Hongluan nodded gently.

Huang Ling was somewhat skeptical and said, "Then you try one."

Hongluan was not intimidated. She stepped forward and, just like Huangqing, with a swift movement, cut off another corner of the bluestone table.

Looking at Hongluan's equally soft hands, Huangling's expression was somewhat strange.

Huang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that you two are both martial arts geniuses. If you had been trained earlier, you might already be rare masters in the martial arts world."

Huang Ling suddenly shook her head: "It's not that my sister and Hongluan are exceptionally talented, it's my brother-in-law's problem. Didn't my sister say last time that both of them..."

She didn't say the next word.

After all, she is still an unmarried girl, so it's not appropriate for her to talk about these things.

Huang Yan, upon learning this, said, "You two sisters have a good chat. I'll go to the study first."

After that, he left.

Actually, he didn't go to the study, but went to the hall in the inner courtyard.

The old lady was embroidering her veil there.

Unlike Huang Qing, Huang Ling was well-read but not skilled in needlework.

Therefore, Huang Ling's wedding dress and veil naturally had to be prepared by the eldest daughter-in-law.

Huang Yan sat down next to the old lady and let out a long sigh.

"It's rare to see you so troubled." The old woman said without looking up, "What happened? Is your son-in-law causing you trouble?"

"No, Lin'er is very polite and sensible. I feel somewhat guilty towards him."

"Just pave the way for him in the future. We're all family, so let's not talk like that."

Huang Yan said with a wry smile, "I have already promised Lin'er that in a few years, I will help him get promoted to the position of Jiedushi."

The old lady's embroidery hands immediately stopped. She looked at her husband in disbelief: "Didn't you say that position was for Ying'er later?"

"Lin'er can absorb dragon energy."

The old lady's eyes narrowed.

Although she wasn't particularly capable, her family was quite wealthy; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to marry Huang Yan and become his principal wife.

Therefore, she was aware of many 'secrets'.

"Dragon energy? Are you sure?"

“I’m sure, I can feel it, though it’s faint, it’s definitely there, otherwise I wouldn’t have said those things to him.” Huang Yan said, “In addition, I just chatted with my younger sister for a few minutes, and I could clearly feel that she already has a faint phoenix-like aura, which further confirms this fact.”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then said through gritted teeth, "What a loss! Why couldn't Ling'er and Lin'er have been a couple? If we had been more assertive back then, maybe Ling'er would have married him."

"It's all fate, there's nothing we can do about it." Huang Yan said helplessly, "Qing'er is still our Huang family's daughter, so it's not a loss."

"The eldest daughter of the principal wife and the daughter of a concubine have different meanings." The eldest daughter-in-law looked very distressed.

Huang Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's alright, Fang Fengyi is not bad either, he also has some dragon aura."

After thinking for a while, the old lady said, "But Lin'er is different. Helping him is like sending charcoal in snowy weather, while the Fang family is powerful, and helping him is just adding flowers to brocade."

Huang Yan naturally knew the difference between the two.

He smiled and said, "Never mind, but anyway, our family has already staked everything on three sides. No matter how chaotic the world becomes in the future, our Huang family will always have someone to rely on."

“Now we should get rid of those parasites in the capital,” the old lady said.

"When you accompany Ling'er to her wedding, you should return to the capital to take charge of the overall situation," Huang Yan said after thinking for a moment. "I will give you the token then, and have Ah Zhong and the others go back with you. Anyone who dares to disobey will be beheaded."

"Okay!" The old lady nodded.
