Don’t Show the Son

   Chapter 127 Wedding

After    defeated Zhao Xuan, Lin Xiu took his seat.

   His expression was calm and indifferent, as if nothing had happened just now, and it seemed that it was not his brother-in-law who was beaten and cried by him in the ring.

  Lin Xiu's feelings for the Zhao family are not the same.

   Lingyin's father and mother are two kind elders, and Lin Xiu has a trace of respect for them.

   And Zhao Lingjun, his future wife, because he has only met once and has no further communication, Lin Xiu has no special feeling for her.

   And for Lingyin, he has a special feeling.

   She was the enlightener of Lin Xiu's practice, and the person who accompanied him the longest on the road of cultivation.

   As for Zhao Xuan.

   In front of Lin Xiu, he always put on a high-spirited and bossy look, which not only made Lin Xiu not like it, but even a little annoying.

   In the ring today, he even made it clear that he wanted Lin Xiu to make a fool of himself, so Lin Xiu had to let him remember.

   People respect him one foot, and he respects others ten feet.

   People insult him twice, and he pays back ten times.

  At the beginning, Lin Xiu could be so heartless towards Xue Ning'er, let alone Zhao Xuan.

  If he wasn't Lingyin's younger brother, his fate would be worse than it is now.

   Thinking of Xue Ning'er, Lin Xiu sighed lightly. She used to come to the Martial Arts Academy early to wait for him, but she never showed up today.

   Zhao Xuan walked off the arena and limped away without even looking at the girls he brought.

  The students of the Martial Arts Academy are happy to see this, the battle between brother-in-law and brother-in-law is not much more exciting than those big plays in the theater?

The news of Zhao Tianjiao's return to the capital is now well known. Not only that, but they also know that His Majesty also ordered a marriage for the two of them. The wedding will be held at the beginning of next month. Except for the prince and the princess, It was the first time that the wedding was hosted at the expense of the imperial court, and now I don't know how many people are paying attention to this matter...

   Judging from Zhao Xuan's attitude, as the bride's younger brother, it seems that he is not very convinced by this brother-in-law.

   As brother-in-law, Senior Brother Lin Xiu really doesn't like him at all...

  This marriage is far more interesting than they imagined...

   Zhao House.

   After limping back home, Zhao Xuan shut himself in the room without saying a word. Mrs. Wu'an Hou walked into the courtyard and asked in surprise, "What happened to Xuan'er, did you fight someone again?"

   At this moment, several girls walked in from outside and asked, "Auntie, is Zhao Xuan okay?"

   Mrs. Wu'an Hou looked at them and said blankly, "What happened?"

   After a while, they learned the ins and outs of the matter from the mouths of several young girls. The Marquis of Wu'an and his wife looked at each other with a little helplessness.

The Marquis of Wu'an glanced at Zhao Xuan's closed door and said, "His ignorant temperament should be rubbed off by others, otherwise, sooner or later, he will suffer even greater losses, and he will suffer in the hands of his own people. It's better than being at a loss in the hands of others, young people's affairs, let them handle it themselves..."

  …

After the    arena battle, Lin Xiu trained on the field of the martial arts academy alone.

He spends more time practicing martial arts every day than anyone else. It has been less than half a year since he entered martial arts, and the trace of true qi in his body has grown more than ten times now. Martial arts cultivation base, according to people's division of true qi, should already be The yellow step is on the border.

   As long as he persists in his practice, he will be able to advance to the Profound Rank within the next year.

   When Lin Xiu was practicing, a figure came slowly from a distance.

   Lin Xiu put away the gun, looked at Lingyin, and said, "Come to vent your anger for your brother?"

   Zhao Lingyin shook his head and said, "It's because he's going too far, I know you've been merciful."

  Lin Xiu glanced at her and said, "If the child is disobedient, just beat him up, but when you first met me half a year ago, you were actually the same as him..."

   When Lin Xiu and Lingyin first met, they were actually not happy.

   It was in the brothel, and Lin Xiu was knocked out by her.

   Lingyin at that time also thought that Lin Xiu was not worthy of her sister.

  It was not until Lin Xiu awakened the ability of supernatural arts that her attitude towards Lin Xiu gradually changed, and she treated him as her own.

  Lin Xiu has sighed more than once, why Lingjun is the elder sister and Lingyin is the younger sister, so she can't be born two years earlier, of course, he can only think about it in his heart, fate is such a joke.

Zhao Lingyin rolled her eyes at Lin Xiu and said, "That's because I saw you walking around the brothel. It was good that you didn't break your leg that time. If you didn't perform well, I wouldn't stand by you. side…"

After being silent for a while, she suddenly looked at Lin Xiu and said, "Can you promise me one thing?"

  Lin Xiu asked, "What's the matter?"

   Zhao Lingyin said: "You promise me first."

   Actually, this request is very unreasonable. If she doesn't say anything, let others agree first. What if her request is very unreasonable?

  If someone else said that, Lin Xiu would refuse without hesitation.

   But she is Lingyin.

  Lin Xiu nodded and said, "I promise you, just tell me."

Zhao Lingyin said: "My sister has been with her master since she was a child, and spent almost all her time practicing. She doesn't know how to get along with others. After you get married, if there is something she doesn't do well, I hope you can take care of her more. Some."

   If she only listened to what she said, Lin Xiu would think she was her sister.

   He smiled slightly and said to her: "Between husband and wife, it should be like this, don't worry..."

  …

   In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

   On the ninth day of the second lunar month, it is advisable to get married.

   Although today is not a holiday, it is also a very special day.

   Since the Lantern Festival, the curfew that has been restarted in the capital will be lifted again tonight.

   This is because tonight is the big wedding night of Zhao Lingjun, the arrogant of the summer. Her wedding, as an exception, was undertaken by the imperial court, and the expenses were also drawn from the national treasury, which is enough to show the importance that His Majesty attaches to her today.

  The wedding of the Zhao family Tianjiao was celebrated all over the world. Even when the prince was appointed as the crown prince, there was no such enthusiasm.

   and this happens, it is not surprising at all.

  Anyone can be the prince, but Zhao Lingjun has only one, because she is the only one in Daxia who can compete with the top geniuses of all countries. In a sense, she represents the glory of Daxia.

   Daxia is honored because of her.

   For the marriage of Tianjiao, who has been famous in Daxia since childhood, the people naturally like to hear about it, but not everyone is blessed with this marriage.

  Somewhere in a restaurant, several young men gathered in a crowd to get drunk. After taking a sip, they threw the glass to the ground, gritted their teeth, and said, "Damn Lin Xiu, why is your life so good!"

   Another person beside him also said with red eyes: "Isn't he very fast, I wish him as fast as in the ring tonight!"

   Under the table, one person looked up to the sky and sighed: "Fate is not fair, luck is not good, I just hate why I don't have the surname Lin..."

  East Palace.

   Listening to the sound of gongs and drums outside, the prince had a sullen face and was extremely irritable.

  Lin Xiu is the person he hates very much. He hates all the people who have the magic of ice. As long as he sees them, he will have a sense of surrender in his heart.

   But he is the crown prince, the future emperor, how could he submit to others?

   Therefore, all people with this ability, be damned.

   Zhao Lingjun is the woman he likes. If he can marry her, his crown prince will be very stable and no one can shake it.

   The person he hates the most, married the person he likes the most, which makes him extremely depressed.

   Royal Palace.

   Huang Xia was very happy. He stayed overnight in Concubine Shu's Qianqiu Palace and had a few drinks with Concubine Shu with great interest. After tonight, one of his worries will be completely put down.

   In the Changchun Palace, the noble concubine and the concubine stood in the palace courtyard with her spiritual pet in her arms, feeling empty for no reason.

  After Lin Xiu got married, she wouldn't come to Changchun Palace to see her and her daughter as often as before, right?

   Pear Garden.

   Caiyi stood in front of the window, looking at the place where the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and sighed softly.

  Xue House.

Xue Ning'er didn't eat dinner and sat alone in front of the dresser in the room. Tonight, she put on beautiful makeup for herself, with picturesque eyebrows and red lips, but there was no one other than herself. Appreciate.

  Tonight is the wedding day of the person she likes.

   The bride is not her.

  …

  The new residence of Linfu.

   Today is the big wedding day of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun. The venue of the wedding is not in the previous Lin Mansion, but in the wedding mansion given to them by His Majesty.

   This mansion is bigger than the previous Lin Mansion, with a full five entrances. The red carpet is laid from the door to the innermost part of the mansion, and guests come in from time to time.

  The Zhao family Tianjiao was married, and the king had a powerful person. Even if he didn't come in person, he sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.

  Ten imperial mansions and dozens of hou mansions, without exception.

And just now, even the congratulations from the palace arrived. The congratulations included His Majesty, the Empress, the Concubine, and the Concubine Shu. It was enough to see how many great people were paying attention to this pair of beautiful people. wedding.

   In the main hall of the mansion, there was a deep voice.

   "One Worship!"

   "Two worship high hall!"

  …

   The person who presided over the marriage was among the ministers of the Ministry of Rites. The last time he presided over the marriage was when the prince married the prince concubine. From the selection of the person to preside over the marriage, it can be seen that His Majesty attached great importance to this marriage.

  Lin Xiu wears a golden crown and a scarlet groom's suit. He holds a red silk in his hand. The other end of the red silk is in the hand of a woman with a phoenix crown and a red hijab on the opposite side.

   In the middle of the red silk is a huge silk flower, which is held by the groom and the bride at both ends, implying the wedding.

  The Minister of Rites looked at the pair of men and women in front of him with a smile, cleared his throat, and spoke loudly.

   "Happy husband and wife!"

  I have already worshipped my parents in heaven and earth. This worship is the vow of their husband and wife to forever be of one heart.

After    worship, they are officially married.

  Lin Xiu held the red silk and stood opposite the woman opposite.

   Half a year ago, he would never have thought that he would get married one day.

   is still with a woman who has only met once.

   He just bends down and becomes a married man.

  Lin Xiu didn't have time to hesitate, because the woman opposite had already bent down.

  Lin Xiu also bowed and bowed.

   From now on, they are husband and wife.

  Libu Langzhong laughed: "Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber!"

  According to the rules, Zhao Lingjun was supported by two maids and went to the bridal chamber to wait, while Lin Xiu had to stay with the guests until the wedding was over.

   In the front room, the Marquis of Wuan patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Lingjun is sometimes willful, please take more care of yourself."

   Lin Xiu said: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will."

   Zhao Lingyin picked up the wine glass, brought it close to his lips, drank it, and whispered in Lin Xiu's ear: "From now on, don't let me see you messing with flowers again, otherwise, hum..."

   Lingyin doesn't drink much on weekdays, but at this moment, her face is flushed, and she is obviously a little drunk.

  Lin Xiu's gaze turned to her side, Zhao Xuan shivered and immediately looked away.

  The humiliating battle in the arena made him re-acquainted with Lin Xiu, but also left an indelible shadow in his heart.

  His self-confidence and pride were all under the humiliation in front of everyone's eyes, and there was nothing left of the blow.

  Although tonight is his own wedding, Lin Xiu doesn't know many people.

   His friends were few.

  Xue Ninger, Qin Wan, Li Bozhang, Princess Minghe, and Ake.

Xue Ning'er didn't come, Qin Wan was her debtor, Ake's identity was not visible, Li Bozhang and Princess Minghe were both there, Lin Xiu walked to their table and raised a glass: "Your Highness King Qin, Your Highness Princess, drink tonight. Have fun..."

   Princess Minghe took a sip of the fruit brew, shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that, that woman will eventually fall into your hands."

   Then, she changed her voice, looked at Lin Xiu with some anxiety, and asked, "What if she doesn't let you and me practice in the future?"

  Lin Xiu shrugged and said, "Xiu is small, so you must listen to the lady's words."

   Princess Minghe's complexion changed, her pretty face showed anger, and she said, "Well, you are a fool who forgets his righteousness. When you have a lady, you forget your friends!"

  Li Bozhang drank the wine in the glass, patted Lin Xiu lightly on the shoulder, gave him a meaningful look, and said, "I hope you can have a good night..."

  The other guests, Lin Xiu didn't know much.

   But out of etiquette, he still had to toast to the table.

   "Congratulations, Young Master Lin!"

   "I wish Young Master Lin and Miss Zhao have a son early and grow old together..."

  …

  Lin Xiu's drinking capacity is not good, but fortunately, he has prepared well. The wine used in the toast is blended with one cup of wine and nine cups of water. It smells a little wine, and it tastes no different from water.

   It was almost midnight when the last guest left.

Uncle Ping'an and his wife walked to the gate of the mansion, Zhou Yun held Lin Xiu's hand and said, "You are from a family now, you must know how to be considerate of the lady, you can't be like before, except that practice is practice, you must accompany her more. …”

  Lin Xiu nodded and said, "I see, mother, don't worry."

   Emperor Xia specially rewarded them with a mansion with five entrances. Uncle Ping An and his wife did not seem to want to disturb their lives. After they got married, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun would live here.

   Before leaving, Zhou Yun clenched Lin Xiu's hand and said, "You guys have to hurry up, your father and I are still waiting to hold our grandson..."

   Until they were sent away, Lin Xiu returned to the mansion and breathed a sigh of relief.

   It seemed that this mansion only took a moment to go from extremely noisy to extremely quiet.

  In the quiet house, only the big red lanterns with the Chinese character 囍 are still emitting a red festive light.

  Lin Xiu walked to the inner house, the innermost room was still lit by candlelight.

   That was his bridal chamber.

   was about to sleep in the same bed with a woman who only met once, Lin Xiu had a very absurd feeling in her heart.

   What's even more ridiculous is that he would have the idea that this kind of thing is ridiculous.

   The same thing, he has done a lot before.

   But with those women, it's just for fun. The people in this room are his three books and six rituals, eight people carrying a large sedan chair to marry his wife, and a person who wants to spend his whole life with him. There are some things that don't need to be rushed.

   Presumably Zhao Lingjun should be as resistant to this marriage as Lin Xiu. If she is unwilling, Lin Xiu will give her enough respect. Even on the night of the bridal chamber, he can sleep on the ground.

   It’s not that he hasn’t slept.

  Thinking of this, Lin Xiu slowly stepped forward and pushed in the door.

  The room was empty.

  Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and after looking around, he quickly understood something.

   He really thought too much just now.

   He smiled, turned to close the door, and walked to the table. On the table in the room, there were two wine glasses, which were originally used for the bridal chamber before the wedding, that is, the wine.

  Lin Xiu held a wine glass in both hands, drank the wine in one go, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

   You can go to bed tonight.

   The whole bed is his.

very nice.

  It's just that she didn't have to be like this.

   is also the victim of this engagement, and Lin Xiu can fully understand her feelings.

   They can sit down and have a good talk.

   But she seems reluctant to talk.

  …

   Zhao House.

   Zhao Lingyin never drinks alcohol on weekdays, but today she made an exception to drink a few cups, just because today is her sister's big day, she has respected and liked her sister very much since she was a child and got married today, and she has a reason to be happy.

  Dizzy returned to his room, Zhao Lingyin was stunned when he saw a figure standing in the room.

   That trace of drunkenness immediately disappeared without a trace.

   She looked at the woman standing in her room and said in shock, "Why are you here!"

  Today is her big day, she should be in the bridal chamber of the wedding mansion, why is she in her room?

   Zhao Lingjun stood up, took off the red wedding dress he was wearing, and said, "Didn't you like to sleep with me the most when you were a child? I will sleep with you tonight."

   Zhao Lingyin looked at her blankly and said, "But today is your big wedding..."

   Zhao Lingjun said calmly, "He will understand."

   Zhao Lingyin stared blankly at her sister, she could imagine the scene where Lin Xiu was alone in the empty room on the night of the bridal chamber.

   Her heart ached inexplicably, and she asked, "That's what you thought from the beginning, right? Since you don't want to marry him, why did you agree to marry him?"

   Zhao Lingjun said: "The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the marriage contract, and the marriage granted by His Majesty, how can I refuse?"

   Zhao Lingyin looked at her eyes and said, "This is not the real reason. No one can force you to do something you don't want. Sister, can you not lie to me..."

   Zhao Lingjun touched her hair and said, "Women always want to get married. Since they will get married sooner or later, if they get married sooner, they can focus on their practice and don't have to worry about these things."

   Zhao Lingyin asked, "Is your life all about practice?"

   Zhao Lingjun smiled and said, "You don't understand."

   A figure appeared in Zhao Lingyin's mind, only to feel more pain in his heart, and whispered: "I don't know about cultivation, but have you ever thought that this is unfair to him..."

   Zhao Lingjun looked at the night sky outside the window and said slowly: "There is no justice in this world. This is my life and his life."

   Zhao Lingyin didn't know what life was, nor did she know how Lin Xiu would feel when she saw that there was no one in the room when she pushed open the door of the bridal chamber...

   She only knew that her heart was hurting more and more.

   Until this moment, she didn't really realize that this marriage contract should not exist from the beginning.
