Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 127
[Chapter 127 Wedding]
After defeating Zhao Xuan, Lin Xiu sat back in his seat.
His expression was calm and indifferent, as if nothing had happened just now, and as if the one who was beaten to tears by him on the ring was not his brother-in-law.
Lin Xiu’s feelings towards the Zhao family were different.
Lingyin’s father and mother were two kind elders, and Lin Xiu had a little respect for them.
As for Zhao Lingjun, his future wife, Lin Xiu had no special feelings for her because he had only met her once and had no deeper communication.
But he had a special feeling for Lingyin.
She was the enlightener of Lin Xiu’s practice of strange arts, the person who had accompanied him the longest on the road of practice, the person who would always think about him, and the person who Lin Xiu cared about the most in the entire Zhao family. As
for Zhao Xuan.
In front of Lin Xiu, he always put on a high and mighty look, which not only made Lin Xiu dislike him, but even a little disgusted.
Today on the ring, he made it clear that he wanted to embarrass Lin Xiu, so Lin Xiu had to teach him a lesson.
If someone respects him one foot, he will respect them one foot. If
someone insults him twice, he will return it tenfold.
Lin Xiu was so ruthless to Xue Ning’er, let alone Zhao Xuan.
If he was not Lingyin’s brother, his fate would be even worse than 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 today she never showed up.
Zhao Xuan walked off the ring and limped away, not even looking at the girls he brought with him.
The students of the martial arts academy were happy to hear about this. Isn’t the fight between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law more exciting than the big dramas in the theater?
The news that the Zhao family’s genius returned to the capital is now known to everyone. Not only that, they also know that His Majesty has also issued an order to grant them a marriage. The wedding will be held at the beginning of next month. In addition to the princes and princesses, the wedding will be funded by the court. But for the first time, I don’t know how many people are paying attention to this matter now…
Judging from Zhao Xuan’s attitude, as the younger brother of the bride, he doesn’t seem to be convinced by this brother-in-law.
As his brother-in-law, Senior Brother Lin Xiu really didn’t spoil him at all…
This marriage was far more interesting than they had imagined…
Zhao Mansion.
After Zhao Xuan limped back home, he locked himself in his room without saying a word. Madam Wu’an Hou walked into the yard and asked in surprise: “What’s wrong with Xuan’er? Did he fight with someone again?”
At this time, several girls came in from outside and asked: “Aunt, is Zhao Xuan okay?”
Madam Wu’an Hou looked at them and said in confusion: “What happened?”
After a while, they learned the whole story from the girls. Madam Wu’an Hou and his wife looked at each other and were both helpless.
Madam Wu’an Hou glanced at Zhao Xuan’s closed door and said: “His ignorant temper should be tempered by others, otherwise, he will suffer greater losses sooner or later. It is better to suffer losses at the hands of his own people than at the hands of others. Let the young people deal with their own affairs…”
…
After the ring battle, Lin Xiu trained alone in the martial arts school.
He spends more time practicing martial arts than anyone else. He has been practicing martial arts for less than half a year, but the trace of true qi in his body has now grown more than ten times. According to people’s classification of true qi, his martial arts cultivation should have reached the upper realm of the yellow level.
As long as he persists in practicing and does not slack off, he will be able to advance to the Xuan level, or even the upper realm of the Xuan level, in the next year.
While Lin Xiu was practicing, a figure slowly walked over from a distance.
Lin Xiu put away his gun, looked at Lingyin, and said, “Come to vent your anger for your brother?”
Zhao Lingyin shook her head and said, “He went too far. I know you have shown mercy.” Lin Xiu glanced
at her and said, “Children are disobedient, just beat them up, but when you first met me half a year ago, you were actually the same as him…”
When Lin Xiu and Lingyin met for the first time, they were actually not happy.
That was in the brothel, and Lin Xiu was knocked unconscious by her.
At that time, Lingyin also thought that Lin Xiu was not worthy of her sister.
It was not until Lin Xiu awakened his ability to perform different arts that her attitude towards Lin Xiu slowly changed and she treated him as her own.
Lin Xiu lamented more than once, why Lingjun is the elder sister and Lingyin is the younger sister, why couldn’t she be born two years earlier? Of course, he could only think about it in his heart, fate just likes to play jokes.
Zhao Lingyin rolled her eyes at Lin Xiu and said, “That’s because I saw you visiting a brothel, and I was lucky that I didn’t break your legs directly that time. If you hadn’t behaved well later, I wouldn’t stand on your side…”
After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Can you promise me one thing?”
Lin Xiu asked, “What is it? “
Zhao Lingyin said, “Promise me first.”
In fact, this request is unreasonable. How can you let others promise first without saying anything? What if her request is unreasonable?
If someone else said this, Lin Xiu would refuse without hesitation.
But she is Lingyin.
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I promise you, go ahead.”
Zhao Lingyin said, “My sister has been following the master outside since she was a child. She has spent almost all her time practicing and doesn’t know how to get along with others. After you get married, if she does something wrong, I hope you can bear with her more.”
If he only listened to her words, Lin Xiu would think she was the elder sister.
He smiled slightly and said to her, “It should be like this between husband and wife, don’t worry…”
…
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
The ninth day of the second month is suitable for marriage.
Although today is not a festival, it is also a very special day.
The curfew that has been resumed since the Lantern Festival in the capital will be lifted again tonight.
This is because tonight is the wedding night of the great summer pride Zhao Lingjun. Her wedding is hosted by the court as an exception, and all expenses are also drawn from the national treasury, which is enough to show how much His Majesty values her.
The Zhao family’s Tianjiao’s wedding was celebrated by the whole capital. Even when the prince appointed the crown princess, there was no such enthusiasm.
And it is not surprising that this situation will occur.
Anyone can be the crown prince, but there is only one Zhao Lingjun, because she is the only one in Daxia who can compete with the top talents of other countries. In a sense, she represents the glory of Daxia.
Daxia is glorious because of her.
The people naturally like to see the marriage of this Tianjiao who has been famous in Daxia since childhood, but not everyone blesses this marriage.
In a restaurant somewhere, several young men gathered to get drunk. After taking a gulp, they threw the wine glass to the ground and gritted their teeth and said, “Damn Lin Xiu, how can you be so lucky!”
Another person beside him also said with red eyes, “Isn’t he very fast? I wish he is as fast tonight as he is on the ring!”
Under the table, a man looked up to the sky and sighed, “Fate is unfair, and luck is bad. I just hate why I don’t have the last name Lin…”
Donggong.
Listening to the gongs and drums outside, the prince had a gloomy face and was extremely irritated.
Lin Xiu was someone he hated very much. He hated all those who had the ice technique. As long as he saw them, he would have a sense of submission in his heart.
But he was the prince, the future emperor, how could he submit to others?
Therefore, all people with this ability should die.
Zhao Lingjun was the woman he liked. If he could marry her, his position as the prince would be extremely stable and no one could shake it.
The person he hated the most married the person he loved the most, which made him feel extremely depressed.
The palace.
Emperor Xia was very happy. He stayed in Shufei’s Qianqiu Palace tonight and had a few drinks with Shufei with great interest. After tonight, he would completely let go of his worries.
In Changchun Palace, the imperial concubine was holding her pet and standing in the palace, feeling empty for no reason.
After Lin Xiu got married, he would not come to Changchun Palace to see her and Nannan as often as before, right?
Pear Blossom Garden.
Caiyi stood in front of the window, looking at the place where the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and sighed softly.
Xue Mansion.
Xue Ning’er did not eat dinner, and sat alone in front of the dressing table in the room. Tonight, she put on beautiful makeup for herself, with picturesque eyebrows and bright red lips, but no one except herself appreciated it.
Tonight is the wedding day of the person she loves.
The bride is not her.
…
Lin Mansion’s new house.
Today is the wedding day of Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun. The wedding venue is not the previous Lin Mansion, but the wedding residence granted to them by His Majesty.
This residence is larger than the previous Lin Mansion, with five entrances. The red carpet is laid from the door to the innermost part of the house, and guests come in from time to time. For
the Zhao family’s Tianjiao’s wedding, the king’s dignitaries, even if they did not come in person, sent people to deliver gifts.
Ten dukes’ mansions and dozens of marquis’ mansions, without exception.
And just now, even the gifts from the palace arrived. The gifts were from His Majesty, the Queen, the Imperial Concubine, and the Concubine Shu. It is enough to show how many big figures are paying attention to the wedding of this perfect couple.
Deep voices came from the main hall of the mansion.
“First bow to heaven and
earth!” “Second bow to your parents!”
…
The officiating person was the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. The last time he officiated a wedding was when the crown prince married the crown princess. From the choice of the officiating person, it can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to this marriage.
Lin Xiu wore a golden crown and a vermilion groom’s suit. He held a red silk in his hand. The other end of the red silk was in the hands of a woman opposite him who wore a phoenix crown and a red veil. In
the middle of the red silk was a huge silk flower, held by the groom and the bride at both ends, symbolizing a happy marriage.
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites looked at the couple in front of him with a smile, cleared his throat, and spoke loudly.
“Husband and wife bow to each other!”
They had already bowed to the heaven and earth and their parents. This bow was a vow for the couple to be together forever.
After the bow, they were officially husband and wife.
Lin Xiu held the red silk in his hand and stood opposite the woman opposite him.
Half a year ago, he would never have thought that he would get married one day.
And with a woman he had only met once.
As long as he bent down, he would become a married man.
Lin Xiu had no time to hesitate, because the woman opposite had already bent down.
Lin Xiu also bowed.
From now on, they are husband and wife.
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, “The ceremony is over, send them 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 to accompany the guests until the end of the wedding. At
the front table, Wu Anhou patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder and said, “Lingjun is sometimes a little willful, please bear with her.”
Lin Xiu said, “Don’t worry, father-in-law, I will.”
Zhao Lingyin picked up the wine glass, put it close to her lips, drank it all, and then whispered in Lin Xiu’s ear, “From now on, don’t let me see you flirting with other women again, otherwise, hehe…”
Lingyin didn’t drink often on weekdays. At this moment, her face was flushed, and she was obviously a little drunk.
Lin Xiu looked at her side, Zhao Xuan shuddered, and immediately looked away.
The humiliating battle in the ring made him recognize Lin Xiu again, but also left him with an indelible psychological shadow.
His self-confidence and pride were all shattered by the humiliation in public.
Although tonight was his own wedding, Lin Xiu didn’t know many people.
He didn’t have many friends.
Xue Ning’er, Qin Wan, Li Baizhang, Princess Minghe, and A Ke.
Xue Ning’er didn’t come. Qin Wan was her debtor. A Ke’s identity was not to be seen. Li Baizhang and Princess Minghe were both there. Lin Xiu walked to their table and raised his glass, saying, “Your Highness, Prince Qin, Your Highness, have a great time drinking tonight…”
Princess Minghe took a sip of the fruit wine and shook her head, saying, “I didn’t expect that woman would end up in your hands.”
Then, she changed her tone and looked at Lin Xiu with some trepidation, asking, “What if she doesn’t let you practice with me in the future?”
Lin Xiu shrugged and said, “Practicing is a small matter, but you must listen to your wife.”
Princess Minghe’s face changed, and her pretty face showed anger, saying, “You are such a traitor, you forget your friends when you have a wife!”
Li Baizhang drank the wine in the glass, patted Lin Xiu’s shoulder gently, gave him a meaningful look, and said, “I hope you can have a good night…”
Lin Xiu didn’t know the other guests very well.
But out of etiquette, he still had to toast from table to table.
“Congratulations, Mr. Lin!”
“I wish Mr. Lin and Miss Zhao a son soon and live together forever…”
…
Lin Xiu’s alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with, but fortunately he had prepared in advance. The wine he used for the toast was a mixture of one cup of wine and nine cups of water. It smelled a little like alcohol, but tasted no different from water.
When the last guest left, it was almost midnight. When the
couple of the Earl of Ping’an walked to the gate of the mansion, Zhou Yun held Lin Xiu’s hand and said, “You are now a family man, you must understand and be considerate of your wife. You can’t be like before, practicing all the time. You should spend more time with her…”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “I know, mother, don’t worry.”
Emperor Xia specially rewarded them with a mansion with five entrances. The Earl of Ping’an and his wife seemed unwilling to disturb their lives. After getting married, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun would live here. Before
leaving, Zhou Yun held Lin Xiu’s hand tightly and said, “You should hurry up. Your father and I are still waiting to hold our grandchildren…”
After sending them away, Lin Xiu returned to the mansion and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that it took only a moment for the mansion to go from extremely noisy to extremely quiet.
In the quiet house, only the big red lanterns with the word “囍” on them were still emitting a red festive light.
Lin Xiu walked to the inner house, and the innermost room was still lit with candlelight.
That was his bridal chamber.
He felt absurd about sleeping in the same bed with a woman he had only met once. What was
even more absurd was that he actually had such an absurd idea.
He had done the same thing before.
But with those women, it was just for fun. The person in this room was his wife who he had married home with three books and six ceremonies and eight sedan chairs. She was the one who would spend the rest of his life with him. There was no need to rush into some things.
Zhao Lingjun must have been as resistant to this marriage as Lin Xiu. If she didn’t want to, Lin Xiu would give her enough respect. Even on the wedding night, he could sleep on the floor. It’s
not like he had never slept before.
Thinking of this in his heart, Lin Xiu walked forward slowly and pushed the door open.
There was no one in the room.
Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and after looking around, he quickly understood something.
He had really thought too much just now.
He smiled, turned around and closed the door, and walked to the table. On the table in the room, there were two wine glasses. These were originally the wine for the wedding before the bridal chamber, also known as the wedding wine.
Lin Xiu picked up a wine glass in each hand, drank the wine in the glass, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
I can sleep in the bed tonight.
The whole bed is his.
It’s great.
But she didn’t have to do this.
As a victim of the same marriage contract, Lin Xiu could fully understand her feelings.
They could sit down and have a good talk.
But she didn’t seem willing to talk.
…
Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Lingyin usually never drinks, but today she made an exception and drank a few glasses, just because today is her sister’s big day. Her sister, whom she has admired and liked since childhood, is getting married today, and she has reason to be happy.
Zhao Lingyin returned to her room in a daze and was stunned to see a figure standing in the room.
The trace of drunkenness disappeared immediately 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, how could she be in her room?
Zhao Lingjun stood up, took off the red wedding dress she 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
looked at her sister in a daze. She could imagine the scene of Lin Xiu alone in the empty room on the wedding night.
Her heart ached for no reason, and she asked, “That’s what you thought from the beginning, right? Since you didn’t want to marry him, why did you agree to marry him?”
Zhao Lingjun said, “It’s my parents’ orders, the matchmaker’s words, we have an engagement, and His Majesty has granted the marriage. How can I refuse?”
Zhao Lingyin looked into her eyes and said, “This is not the real reason. No one can force you to do something you don’t want to do. Sister, can you please not lie to me…”
Zhao Lingjun touched her hair and said, “Women have to get married eventually. Since you have to get married sooner or later, you might as well get married earlier. Then you can practice with all your heart and don’t have to worry about these things anymore. . “
Zhao Lingyin asked: “Is your life only about cultivation?”
Zhao Lingjun smiled and said: “You don’t understand.”
A figure appeared in Zhao Lingyin’s mind, and she felt even more pain in her heart. She whispered: “I don’t understand 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 fairness in this world. This is my life and his life.” Zhao Lingyin
didn’t know what fate was. She didn’t know how Lin Xiu felt when she pushed open the door of the bridal chamber and saw that there was no one in the room…
She only knew that her heart was getting more and more painful.
It was not until this moment that she truly realized that this marriage should not have existed from the beginning.
