After a year of absence, Jin Ling city was even more prosperous than before. The streets were bustling with people, hawking and shouting incessantly. Teahouses, pubs, restaurants, everywhere was full of laughter and noise, and there was a sense of familiarity in the noise.
Walking by the Xuanwu Lake, the scene of him meeting Miss Xiao for the first time silently emerged in his mind, making him feel warm.
The "Food for Immortals" restaurant he founded, under Qiaoqiao's skillful management, continued to flourish, and had long become an outstanding restaurant in Jin Ling city. Although it was not yet noon, the main restaurant by the Xuanwu Lake was already bustling with noise and excitement.
Walking into the building, he saw the latest promotion of the month posted on the wall. There were many onlookers, and the restaurant was already full. The waiters shouted loudly, coming and going to serve tea and wine, it was a busy and prosperous scene.
There was a young shopkeeper standing behind the counter. He was sweating profusely as he kept accounts. He was extremely busy.
"Qingshan!" Lin Wanrong smiled and called out.
The young man hurriedly raised his head, looked at him, and was instantly stunned.
"Big brother, brother-in-law — —" After a long time, Dong Qingshan seemed to wake up from a dream, excitedly rushed over, hugged him tightly, and shouted excitedly.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Qingshan had grown taller and stronger, the childishness on his face had long faded away. The ignorant boy who followed him in the past, worshiping him with reverence, had already grown into a handsome young man, it made people sigh at how fast time passed.
The two brothers reunited after a long time, Dong Qingshan was so excited that he danced with joy, too lazy to record the account book, and pushed it to the bookkeeper. He pulled Lin Wanrong's sleeve and said anxiously, "Big brother, why are you back? Where's sister? "
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Qiaoqiao is still in the capital, there are a lot of family matters, she can't leave for a while. I want to go to Lianyungang. I have to go to Korea, so I came back to take a look. Qingshan, I haven't seen you for a year. You are getting more and more energetic, not bad, not bad! "
Dong Qingshan said proudly, "Of course, don't you know who my big brother is? Now, not only in Jin Ling city, but even in Jiangsu province, our Hong Xing's name is very famous. No one will dare to bully us anymore! "
"It's a good thing that no one bullies us, but we can't take advantage of our power to bully others, especially those kind people. Otherwise, they would be no different from Cheng Ruinian and the others of the past. There would come a day when they would be trampled to death. Do you understand? "
"I know that," Qing Shan said respectfully, "Sister has already told me about it. We used to be bullied. If we bully others after gaining power, we'll be no different from those bullies. Hong Xing's brother would never be such an evil person. We stopped collecting protection fees a long time ago, and we won't allow others to collect them either. Now, Big Dipper and the others opened a tea shop, ran shipping, and transported salt for the government. Not only were they respected by others, but their business was also booming. Over a thousand brothers were supporting themselves. The money is pouring in. "
The underworld setting up businesses was called bleaching. This brat Qingshan actually learned it without a teacher. Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. "Good, good. You did the right thing. Blindly fighting and killing won't work in the long run, management is the way to go. "
The two chatted for a while. Qing Shan told him some interesting stories about Jinling, which made him feel nostalgic.
After talking for a while, Lin Wanrong looked around and asked curiously, "Why don't I see father-in-law?"
"Dad's branch on the Qinhuai River." Qing Shan bitterly said, "Our three restaurants in Jinling are always full of customers every day. Father and I are so busy that we are dizzy and disoriented. We have hired several accountants, but we still can't manage everything. If only big brother and big sister were here! "
"It's good to be busy. There's money to be made!" Lin Wanrong smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. When I come back from Korea, I'll bring you and father-in-law to the capital to play — "
"Really?" Dong Qingshan jumped up excitedly. Hugging his shoulders tightly, she said, "Big Brother. I've been wanting to visit the capital for a long time. Kleinloh has already written to me several times to invite me! "
Lin Wanrong smiled and nodded as he looked at his little brother's joyful expression. He was also extremely happy in his heart.
Chatting happily with Qing Shan, it was already noon. Remembering that the Xiao Family had not returned, he hurriedly got up. Qing Shan pulled him back and said, "Big Brother, are you going to see Lady Xiao?"
Lin Wanrong nodded. Qing Shan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see her if you go now. This morning, Lady Xiao and Grand Mistress went to Xixia Temple outside the city to pray. When they passed by our restaurant, they even said a few words to me. "
Xixia Temple? Lin Wanrong's heart warmed when he heard this. He suddenly remembered that when he was kidnapped by the White Lotus Sect, Second Missy fasted for more than a month and prayed for him devoutly. He couldn't hold it in anymore and said hurriedly, "I'll go to Xixia Temple to find them."
He left as soon as he said he would. He whipped his horse out of the city and galloped all the way.
Xixia Temple was located to the east of Jinling. It was prosperous and famous. Lin Wanrong had been here many times and was familiar with the place. He arrived in less than an hour.
When he reached the entrance, he didn't see Xiao Fu's sedan chair or horse carriage. He didn't know which hall Grand Mistress and Madam were burning incense in, so he went straight into the temple.
There weren't many visitors today. Xixia Temple was quiet. A few broken leaves fell to the ground and rustled when he stepped on them.
He walked around a few halls in one breath but didn't see the Xiao Family's mother and daughter. He felt a little strange. Seeing that the place he was standing was facing the back door of the Hall of Great Strength, he walked in.
There was no one in the back hall. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The Golden Body Bodhisattva looked solemn. He hurriedly bowed and was about to get up and leave when he suddenly heard a faint sigh coming from the front hall.
"Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, I beg you to bless that despicable person and let him return safely soon. Disciple Xiao Yuruo kowtows to you … "
Although the voice was low, it was very clear to his ears. He hurriedly held onto the table and secretly peeked at the front hall.
On the golden praying mat in front of the incense table, a graceful woman silently knelt on the ground and kowtowed. After a long time, she slowly straightened her back and put her palms together. She silently chanted with an extremely pious expression.
After being separated from Xiao Yuruo for two months, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her jade-like cheeks had a faint yearning and sorrow. Her chest was plump and her waist was slender. Her white dress fluttered in the wind and her figure was tall and straight. She had a delicate charm.
"Grand Mistress, Grand Mistress …" A trembling voice called out softly. It was as if a celestial voice came from beyond the heavens and slowly floated in the empty hall.
Xiao Yuruo's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked around suspiciously. But she didn't find anything unusual.
She raised her head blankly and looked up at the solemn face and murmured, "Bodhisattva. Is it you talking to disciple? Why does it sound like his voice? "
The 'Bodhisattva' said, "As the saying goes, what you think in the day, you dream at night. You heard someone else's voice as him talking. This shows that you love him to the extreme! "
Grand Mistress's cheeks were red. She lowered her head and suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked around and said in surprise, "Who is it?!"
A person quietly walked out of the back hall. He laughed and said, "Grand Mistress, you will always be the most beautiful Bodhisattva in my heart!"
"You, you …" Xiao Yuruo's cherry lips opened wide. She was so surprised that tears flowed out, "Why are you here? Are you lying to me again?!"
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Looking at the sparkling tears in her eyes, Lin Wanrong's heart was filled with tenderness. He quickly walked forward and pulled her into his arms, "I just arrived in Jinling. I heard that you were at Xixia Temple. I didn't lie to you. "
She saw that he was covered in dust. He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat on his face. It was obvious that he had been traveling for a long time. Grand Mistress's eyes softened. She took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the dust on his face. She said angrily, "I don't believe you! You should be rushing to see your crescent moon without stopping! "
Lin Wanrong giggled. "I'll go visit her. I traveled for eight thousand miles. But in order to see my Grand Mistress, I'm willing to travel another ten thousand miles! "
Xiao Yuruo's cheeks blushed. She looked at him affectionately. She blushed and said softly, "Nonsense. Eight thousand and ten thousand? Could it be that you're a speedy runner? "
He and the Grand Mistress had been through thick and thin together. The affection that was built up from fighting and fooling around was sincere and passionate.
Looking at Xiao Yuruo's face that was extremely bashful like jade, many past events rushed into his heart like a gust of wind. Tenderness grew in his heart as he suddenly pulled the Eldest Miss and knelt down on the praying mat.
"I ask all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats to bear witness. I, Lin Wanrong, am willing to love my Grand Mistress forever. To share her joys and sorrows, life and death. If I break this oath. Let me die under the Five Thunders. "He looked solemn and respectfully kowtowed. His eyes flashed with determination.
The Grand Mistress was overjoyed. She couldn't hold back her tears. She looked at him gently and said affectionately, "This little girl, Xiao Yuruo, is willing to marry my Lin Lang as his wife. I will accompany him forever and serve him. I will sleep with him in life and die with him in death. Even if the Five Great Mountains are rotten, my love for my Langjun will never change! "
Lin Wanrong laughed and stood up, "Grand Mistress, you can't run away this time!"
Xiao Yu Ruo looked at him shyly and said with a blushing face, "Ever since you, shameless bastard, tied that red thread to my leg, even if I wanted to run, there's no way to escape!"
Speaking of the red thread, there were countless memories. Both of them felt a ripple in their hearts and smiled at each other.
Lin Wanrong took her hand and whispered in her ear, "Grand Mistress, show me the red thread!"
The red thread was tied to her ankle. How could she show it to him? Xiao Yuruo's cheeks blushed. She shook her head slowly and said with a trembling voice, "No, you're not honest!"
Lin Wanrong blinked and took her hand. He secretly said, "Then when we go back tonight, you can show me, okay?"
Xiao Yuruo's heart was beating fast and her face was red. She clearly wanted to nod but she couldn't muster the strength to do so.
Lin Wanrong was intoxicated by her bashful and charming appearance. He couldn't help but kiss her soft and beautiful cheeks.
Grand Mistress's body trembled. She held his hand tightly and didn't want to let go for even a moment.
"Mmm, mmm …" Suddenly, a few heavy coughs came from the door of the hall and woke the two of them up.
Lin Wanrong quickly turned around and was shocked, "Madam!"
"Lin San, long time no see!" Lady Xiao stood at the door and looked at him silently. She smiled.
It had been half a year since they saw each other off in the capital. After not seeing each other for a while, Lady Xiao's beautiful cheeks were faintly thinner. Her lips were red and her face was like jade. Her figure was plump, but her elegance hadn't diminished.
Niangqin caught her flirtatious actions with her lover. Lady Xiao couldn't restrain her shyness and hurriedly pulled out her small hand that was being held by him.
Lin Wanrong didn't yield a bit. He held her jade hand tightly and nodded, sighing, "Yes, long time no see. I wonder how Madam has been recently? "
"So-so." Lady Xiao responded. Looking at the two's sweet appearance, she shook her head helplessly, "Xiao Yuruo, come with me!"
Grand Mistress gave a light hum and glared at Lin Wanrong in embarrassment. Her charming and charming appearance made his heart sway.
When they reached the courtyard and were far away from the main hall, Lady Xiao stopped and slowly turned around. Xiao Yuruo lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "Niangqin, what teachings do you have?"
Lady Xiao snorted and somewhat rebuked, "That main hall is a place for Bodhisattva to cultivate. How can you make trouble there?"
Grand Mistress's cheeks were hot and she didn't dare to make a sound. Lin Wanrong busily said, "I didn't make trouble, Madam misunderstood! It was Grand Mistress who agreed to marry me. I couldn't help but kiss her. It was a very pure kiss, there was no intention of profanity. "
A pure kiss? Madam gave him a funny look and snorted, "I don't need to guess to know it was your idea. If you treat Xiao Yuruo sincerely, then don't make things difficult for her. Do you understand? "
"Yes, yes. Of course, of course! "Lin Wanrong nodded with cold sweat.
With his current identity, he was still so afraid of Madam. Grand Mistress chuckled. Her heart was very gentle. She secretly tightened her grip on his hand and coquettishly said, "You are not allowed to bully me in the future. Otherwise, niangqin will not forgive you."
"What if you bully me? What will Madam do? "Lin Wanrong hurriedly asked.
"Is there a need to ask?" Grand Mistress chuckled, "Of course, you will help me! You will always be bullied by me, understand? "
