The "handshake ceremony" was a custom in Miss Lin's hometown. If he hadn't inquired about it out of curiosity when they passed by Fengzhou, Fang would have believed what the son-in-law had said.
He looked at the two people who were holding hands not far away and fell into deep thought.
The "handshake ceremony" was a custom in the Li Brothers' hometown. If he hadn't asked someone to confirm it when they went to Jing Kingdom last time, Lin Yong would have believed what Miss Lin had said.
He looked at the two people beside him who looked calm and relaxed, deep in thought.
He suddenly felt something and looked up at the opposite side. The man opposite also looked at him.
They looked at each other.
Fang smiled and said, "Lin Brothers, long time no see."
A smile also appeared on Lin Yong's face. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Fang, long time no see."
…
Lin Wanru and Lin Yong came to Liuzhou this time to expand their business.
In the past few years, from the remote Fengzhou, she had expanded the Lin family's business all over the Qi Kingdom. She had personally expanded the business in almost every province and prefecture.
Of course, it could also be said that it was the Li family's business. Because a few years ago, the Lin family and the Li family had formed a community of destiny because of their business relationship. They shared weal and woe, and they were as close as a family.
The Lin family had a manor in Liuzhou. Every time she went to a place, she would buy a manor and rest there temporarily. In the past few years, she had traveled to all the provinces and prefectures of the Qi Kingdom and the Lin family.
Ruoqing and the others were tired from the long journey. Lin Wanru's maid, Xiu 'er, took them to the back house to settle down. The house was very big, and it was more than enough for the whole family.
Li Duan was a little excited. He was at the age where his curiosity was budding, and he didn't like to stay in one place all the time. He had seen many strange things along the way, and he was the happiest one.
"This must be Duaner." Lin Wanru looked at him and said with a smile, "The last time I saw him, he couldn't even crawl. In the blink of an eye, he has grown so much."
"In the blink of an eye …" Lin Yong sighed and said, "In the blink of an eye, it has been four or five years."
Old Fang glanced at Lin Yong in surprise. He closed his mouth, which was about to open.
Li Duan stood there and looked at Li Yi with a pleading look.
Calling a person was the most basic form of courtesy, but he did not know this beautiful one — he did not know how to address the person in front of him.
The last time Lin Wanru went to the capital, Li Duan was still young and didn't even know how to crawl. Naturally, he couldn't remember her.
Li Yi touched his head and said, "Call her Aunt Lin."
Li Duan nodded and said obediently, "Aunt … Lin."
Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Duaner is still as obedient as when he was young."
Li Duan lowered his head in embarrassment. When Li Yi and Lin Wanru went to the back house, he looked up at Fang and asked, "Fang, Aunt Lin … should I call her mother?"
According to his experience, from "aunt" to "mother" was only a matter of time. It was just that he couldn't grasp the timing.
A long time ago, he discovered that Lil 'Auntie didn't know everything. Uncle Fang was omniscient. If there was something he didn't understand and it wasn't convenient to ask his father, he could ask Uncle Fang.
Fang thought for a moment and said, "Don't call her yet. When you want to call her, Fang will tell you."
"I see. Thank you, Fang." Li Duan nodded and ran to the back house.
Fang looked ahead. Lin Yong had just gone in with them.
He touched his beardless chin and murmured, "This Lin Brothers is interesting …"
…
Drunk Ink, Ruoqing, and the others were a little tired from the journey. After settling down, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Duan went to practice. Chang's requirements for him were a little stricter than Miss.Liu. Although he was tired, his advantages were also very obvious.
Ruyi became a guru. Luck and cheating played a big part. Her understanding of martial arts was certainly not as thorough as Xu and Chang.
And Chang was different from Xu. Chang grew up in the palace since he was a child and was qualified to read the royal library, which contained countless martial arts secrets. Compared with Xu, it was like the relationship between a rich and powerful sect and a rogue cultivator.
In terms of fighting, it was not certain who was better. But in terms of profound knowledge, Xu and his old lover were no match for him. Perhaps only Old Man Yang could compare with Chang.
What's more, Chang was not limited to giving advice to Li Duan. He really taught him everything without holding anything back. Li Duan, who was only five years old, had already cultivated internal force. Ordinary adult men were no match for him.
Ruoqing and the others went to rest. Li Yi didn't need to rest, and it was not appropriate for him to rest.
He hadn't seen Lin Wanru for several years. He should have had a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know where to start.
"Young master, I'm going out with the Lin Brothers …"
"Miss, I'll take Brother Fang out for a walk …"
…
Fang and Lin Yong, who were following behind the two of them, suddenly spoke at the same time. They spoke in unison, as if they had a tacit understanding.
After a moment of shock, the two of them turned their heads at the same time. Their gazes met, and they confirmed each other's gazes.
At the same time, there was an expression of mutual appreciation on their faces.
When Fang and Lin Yong saw each other again, their relationship had progressed at lightning speed. With their arms around each other's shoulders, they walked out, leaving only Li Yi and Lin Wanru in the room.
"All these years, all these years, cough …" Li Yi looked at her, then shifted his gaze away. "You've worked hard."
The Lin family's business in the Qi Kingdom was actually more like the Li family's business in the Qi Kingdom.
The Li family's shares were more, and what they invested were the core formulas and the like. But other than these, there was nothing else.
All the shops and workshops in the Qi Kingdom were built by her alone, including the expansion of the business in one state after another. In four years, she had spread the shops all over the Qi Kingdom. One could imagine the hardships involved in this.
Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "There's nothing hard about it. In fact, I've been busy like this in the past. Being busy with results is always better than not having any results …"
After saying this, Li Yi found himself speechless again.
Compared to a few years ago when he was in Feng State, there seemed to be an additional layer of invisible membrane between the two of them.
This slight barrier made him feel a little irritated.
Because of the irritated feeling, he felt a little thirsty. He walked to the table, took a teacup, poured a cup of water, and drank it in one gulp. Only then did the irritation in his heart subside a little.
Lin Wanru coughed softly and said, "You used my cup again."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" Li Yi almost coughed out the mouthful of water. He hurriedly put down the teacup. Then he realized something and asked, "Why did you say again?"
"Forget it …" Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "Anyway, it's not the first time."
She walked over and took out a few account books from the cabinet and handed them to him. She said, "If Manager Li has nothing to do, help me check the accounts."
Li Yi was startled. He felt as if something that had been lost for a long time had come back.
He smiled and said, "I'm just an accountant. If there's anything, just tell Shopkeeper Lin …"
…
Lin Yong and Fang, who were sitting in the courtyard "strolling", turned their heads at the same time. When they heard the laughter coming from the room, they turned back at the same time and looked at each other again.
Fang looked at Lin Yong and suddenly said, "Lin Brothers, my son-in-law and your young lady are the kind of people who are reserved. They won't open their mouths until the last moment. As servants …"
He paused and asked, "Lin Brothers, do you know what I'm going to say?"
"Understood, understood …" Lin Yong grinned and said, "Some things, they are reserved, but we can't be reserved …"
Fang was stunned for a moment and laughed casually. "Why didn't I realize before that Lin Brothers are so interesting …"
"I regret not having met earlier …"
"It's really like old friends at first sight …"
"You can only use 'like old friends at first sight' when you meet for the first time …" Lin Yong looked at Fang and corrected him, "Brother Fang needs to read more books …"
"Are you saying that I'm uncultured?" Fang's face darkened and said, "You used 'regret not having met earlier' correctly? I didn't have the nerve to expose you just now … "
