Distress: My Years in Defeng Ancient Road

Chapter 784 Don't Be Arbitrary
I know what I do, no matter how I plan in my mind, but in action, there is a suspicion of ignoring the master's words. Xia Chenglin can now understand the deep meaning of the younger brother's previous words, but it seems a bit late.

He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he didn't know how to start.

Because, he still hasn't figured out how to explain the matter to Cui Luohan.

It is true to say so, but combined with his actions over the years, whether he really didn't think about it, or whether he didn't think about it at all, is open to discussion.

Maybe even the parties themselves don't know it clearly.

Seeing the little apprentice's embarrassment, Lin Chongyang hid the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a serious face:
"You have learned to put on airs before you take over. Why, do you need me to ask you to come and sit?"

After Xia Chenglin heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, then walked to the table, and sat obediently opposite Lin Chongyang, because it was not easy to be beaten at this distance.

"The disciple is just thinking about how to explain it to Master." He said after sitting down.

Obviously, Master Lin didn't buy it: "What do you need to explain to me? Why don't I know."

Lin Chongyang had high hopes for his young apprentice, so he naturally didn't want Xia Chenglin to put all his heart on business affairs. Now that he is not a future generation, time is far less tense, so it's not that he can't even handle private affairs.

"Master." Xia Chenglin called softly, but did not continue speaking.

He didn't have any grudges because of the master's sudden attack. As Lin Chongyang's successor, he was very clear that the majestic vitality was hard-won, and he also understood the painstaking efforts of the master.

However, in this situation, he suspected that Master was making fun of him.

This suspicion is very reasonable, because the master's character is actually more like a grandfather than his master, and he is not so overbearing and stubborn.

"Stinky boy, can't you be considerate of me, an old man?"

After being spotted, Lin Chongyang smiled softly, took a new teacup from the tray, poured tea and pushed it to the opposite side.

Xia Chenglin first looked at the master sitting across from him, then glanced at his own reflection in the teacup, and after making a simple comparison in his mind, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, hesitating to speak:

"You..." You look younger than me.

After all, he couldn't say it out of his mouth, he knew himself.

"The siblings were delivered some time ago, right?" Lin Chongyang took a sip of the tea cup and said calmly.

"En." Xia Chenglin nodded slightly, and then asked, "How does Master plan to arrange them?"

"Strictly speaking, they have sold themselves to the Confucian sect. How about being your child bride?" Lin Chongyang put down the teacup and said this abruptly.

"Please allow me to be rude, Master, this joke is not funny." Xia Chenglin stood up abruptly.

"If you don't take the initiative yourself, why should I arrange it?"

"disciple……"

"If you shirk, just save it, but you can put your heart in your stomach first, and I won't take advantage of others."

Lin Chongyang raised his hand, and a force acted on Xia Chenglin's body, making him sit down again. Before the little apprentice could breathe a sigh of relief, he listened to him change the subject:
"While going out this time, I have asked Brother Jiangnan to go to Wanyi Shangbao to match you with the girl from the Cui family."

Human nature always likes to make compromises. If you directly ask Xia Chenglin to ask someone to match him, then his reaction should be similar to that just now, but if you say something that he can't accept first, and then ask someone to match him, then he The reaction will be much calmer.

Xia Chenglin: "..."

He never thought that there would be such a day when he was still sitting in the heart of Defeng Gudao. Why, why did he suddenly go straight to the step of matchmaking?I didn't even say hello to him beforehand.

"I..." Xia Chenglin wanted to say something to evade, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them for some reason.

He has always been motivated to look up to his master, and he has never forgotten the conversation between the two of them in the Temple of Pure Heart, but he was completely unprepared for this matter.

Talking about the matchmaking, after the matchmaking, it should be marriage proposal.

Judging from his understanding of Cui Wanyi, and the fact that the master personally asked the master to help, the matchmaker was basically done.

Because the situation between him and Cui Luohan is different from the marriage, as long as the reason is explained a little, from the perspective of the elders, it is basically logical and a matter of course.

What's more terrible is that no one can help him now, if other elders know about this, even if each of them comes to remind him a few words, as a junior, he can only obediently listen.

"Living in this position, one should avoid arbitrariness and self-willedness. Even at my stage, I will still listen to the needs of the people, still seek everyone's opinions, and still listen to the advice of my master and all my uncles.

The so-called morals and people's hearts, go up and down, and you will stand in my position in the future, but you still have to shoulder the responsibility to lead by example.

There are some words that should not be so clear for me to tell you. "

After finishing speaking, Lin Chongyang picked up the teacup, leaving time for the little apprentice to think.

"..." Xia Chenglin opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"Master, you are acting arbitrarily now!"

He sighed helplessly in his heart, after all he didn't refute. On the one hand, it was done and there was no need to refute, on the other hand, he simply didn't dare to refute.

Facing Master alone is much easier than facing all the elders. At least, Master will protect the calf when the time comes.

"What should the disciples prepare?" He asked.

"That's right. Don't hesitate when you have to make a decision. You can give your brothers more trust. However, not everything can be helped by your brothers. Getting married early will not do you any harm."

In Lin Chongyang's deep eyes, there was a little more love and expectation for the younger generation, and he continued:
"You are different from me. You should follow the Zhou etiquette for the gifts you need to bring when you propose a marriage. After that, you can prepare them yourself. The other party's family is not bad. Don't let people look down on us.

Waiting for brother Jiangnan's reply, I will pick a good day and auspicious day to come to your door to propose marriage in person. "

"Yeah." Xia Chenglin nodded slightly, then picked up the teacup, and drank it in one gulp regardless of the temperature, he felt that he needed to suppress his shock.

It's only been one morning, and it's almost time to propose a marriage. When he gets married in the future, he doesn't dare to think about what his elders will remind him of. Moreover, his number of elders is unusually large.

If you add those unclear seniority, it will be even more.

…………

West Wulin.

"Tsk, it's a miracle that the people who released the news didn't disappear after all this."

Outside the main city of Tiandu, a figure in a blue shirt was walking on the long commercially prosperous street, gently shaking a folding fan in his hand, on which were inscribed the words "First in progress".

Jiang Nanchunxin never expected that he just came here to help a friend as a matchmaker, and he would be able to eat unexpected big melons.
