Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 21: True Slap in the Face

"What kind of medicine is sold in this imperial concubine's gourd?"

Lin Xuanzhi was dressed in a moon-white robe with dark patterns of silver silk and tufted flowers. He had a slender and well-proportioned figure, and walked steadily. He stood up gracefully and calmly with a folding fan in his hand.

Coming to the center of the water pavilion, under the eyes of everyone, he bowed upwards without being humble or overbearing: "I have seen the noble concubine and the princess of the imperial concubine."

Concubine Tu's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Xuanzhi's demeanor, and even her younger sister, who was betrothed to Zhang Congwen, had a look of regret in her eyes.

Princess Baxian couldn't help but sized up Lin Xuanzhi, secretly thinking that he was indeed the only son of Zhang's daughter.

Concubine Tu Gui looked at Lin Xuanzhi appreciatively and smiled lightly: "The so-called gentleman is unparalleled in the world, I guess Mr. Lin is like that."

"I don't know if the young master of the Lin family, who is so magnificent and gentle as jade, ever got married?" It was the eight virtuous concubine who turned around and asked.

Princess Baxian thought to herself, can you still have a younger sister?

In his mouth, he replied with a smile: "Master Lin has no other distractions, and he is devoted to the book of sages, but he has never settled on anyone so far."

Concubine Tu smiled when she heard the words, and asked Lin Xuanzhi: "I heard that Lingtang was ranked among the top ten beauties in Shendu back then. I didn't believe it at first. Today I saw Mrs. Lin's demeanor, and I realized that the so-called top ten beauties Beauty, I'm afraid the other nine are not all Lingtang's foils."

The eldest wife Cui Yunxi's eyelids twitched wildly, this Concubine Tu was afraid she was going to be a monster, but she could only be anxious.

"The imperial concubine is too serious, Xuanzhi dare not be her, and Xianci never cared about a little fame." Lin Xuanzhi felt helpless and couldn't help coping with it.

Concubine Tu Gui smiled like a spring breeze, and said warmly to Lin Xuanzhi: "I just happen to have a younger sister, who is now eighteen years old, and she can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. Although she looks good, she won't insult Lin Xuanzhi. The demeanor of an adult."

"Why don't you agree to be a concubine wife with Master Lin?"

While talking, another "sister" seemed to be brought up again, but she was a gentle girl in an emerald green gauze dress, her appearance and temperament were three points better than that of the previous sister.

Seeing Zhang Congwen in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why should he be the main room if his sister gave it to him, and the concubine if he gave it to Lin Xuanzhi?

This is the way to co-author the low threshold of your own family!
Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, but he could only evade it euphemistically: "Thank you for your kindness, my minister, but I am devoted to state affairs, and I don't have a career without face and family."

"Besides, the matter of marriage needs to be ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although I have no parents alive, my grandparents are still alive, and my eldest aunt is taking care of me. It is difficult for me to make decisions on my own."

"Furthermore, it is not the practice of the poets and etiquette to enter the side room first before entering the main room. The Empress Wanwang takes back her order."

The eldest lady got up at the right time, and she didn't care about complaining that Lin Xuanzhi now knew what the parents ordered the matchmaker to say, so she bowed and said: "My wife has seen the imperial concubine and empress."

Although Lin Xuanzhi's eldest uncle has not yet become a nobleman, he still has a real position as a third-rank official, so the eldest wife has an imperial order.

"Goro is the lifeblood of the old lady and the old man in the family. The marriage still needs to be decided by the two old people. Please don't blame Goro."

Concubine Tu Gui thought about Lin Tianhu in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, and then looked at Lin Xuanzhi who was as handsome as jade below, the twisted melon is not sweet...

But quench your thirst!
The noble concubine who didn't give up changed the subject: "It's me, Menglang. Although my younger sister is good, she is indeed worthy of being married to Mrs. Lin."

"That's all for the concubine. If Mrs. Lin doesn't dislike it, why don't you take Yuanyuan back to the mansion for training and become a housekeeper to serve the fifth young master Lin."

This means taking it back to be a roommate?

In this case, it seems that it is not impossible...

Compared with those who have to go to the family tree in the concubine, the old lady probably doesn't care about a roommate.

Lin Xuanzhi subconsciously wanted to refuse when he heard the words, and brought someone back for no apparent reason, who knew whether it was black or white.

He only felt that Concubine Tu was a bit unusual, and he really didn't want to be associated with her.

"Imperial Concubine, Your Majesty..." Lin Xuanzhi hadn't spoken yet.

At this time, someone in the distance couldn't help but flatter and said: "Imperial Concubine, Brother Lin obviously doesn't want to bother you, otherwise why would he keep pushing back."

"He has been in pairs with the youngest son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion since he was a child, and they go in and out together, wishing they could stick together every day."

"The two of them are both in their twenties and have never been married, so they may have made a private appointment for life long ago!"

"Besides, I also heard that Lord Lin's mother was famous before she came out of the cabinet, and attracted many people to pursue her. It is said...hehe."

"It seems that Mr. Lin has a bit of his mother's demeanor!"

"If you don't give up, Xiaosheng is willing to marry Miss Yuanyuan as a concubine."

The guests looked sideways at the person who spoke——Yang Wenwu, son of Beifeng City Vice General Yang Ge.

Nearby were the disciples of the Chou family, and Li Jin, the grandson of the king of Dongping County, who was sitting like the stars holding the moon.

That Yuanyuan girl's eyes flashed a faint dislike, but she didn't make a sound.

Su Jincheng was about to get up, but was stopped by a woman in Tsing Yi who suddenly appeared behind him, with an ordinary face, but an elegant demeanor.

"Goro can handle it."

Su Jincheng said sullenly: "Miss Qingwei."

Concubine Tu Gui's smile remained unchanged, she never reprimanded Yang Wenwu for speaking out suddenly, she just said indifferently: "This lord is careful in his words."

The eldest wife and the three girls of the Lin family couldn't help glaring at Yang Wenwu, and together with them were some people sitting in the Qingliu literati in the distance, among them was Lin Xuanzhi's eldest aunt.

Lin Xuanzhi looked calm, and saluted the noble concubine above: "Excuse me for being rude."

After speaking, he stepped to the front of Yang Wenwu and his party, and after saying hello to the grandson of the king of Dongping County, he looked at Yang Wenwu indifferently.

Qiu Jingnan and the others didn't know why, but subconsciously sat up straight.

"You just said that?"

Yang Wenwu seemed to be forgetful when he heard the words, and said: "You are so ignorant of what is good and bad when the imperial concubine concubine gave you the marriage so kindly. I'm just explaining the reason for you, so as not to embarrass the imperial concubine and your family."

Snapped!
Just hearing a loud voice resounding in the water pavilion, everyone fell silent instantly.

Yang Wenwu covered his swollen tall face, spat out a few bloody broken teeth, slurred his words and said in shock and anger: "Lin Xuanzhi, how dare you hit me!"

Qiu Jingnan and the others also stood up with slightly changed expressions, as if they hadn't expected Lin Xuanzhi to strike directly in front of the nobleman.

Lin Xuanzhi's expression was indifferent, and before everyone had any reaction, he opened his bow again.

The sound of crackling resounded through the water pavilion.

Yang Wenwu, as his name suggests, failed in civil and martial arts, and fell to the ground in a daze after spinning around a few times.

"I'll hit you if I hit you, why not pick a day?" Lin Xuanzhi's tone was calm.

Qiu Jingnan couldn't help but stepped forward, suppressing his anger and said, "Brother Lin..."

"Don't mess around with relatives, I'm not as close as you."

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Qiu Jingnan indifferently, then turned to condescend, looking coldly at Yang Wenwu, who was swollen into a pig's head and confused, his voice was as clear as a cold spring resounding through the audience.

"Words insulting the martyrs of the Wei country!"

Qiu Jingnan shut his mouth when he wanted to say something more, and quietly took half a step back.

The buttocks of Dongping County Wang Shisun who was about to stand up were also firmly seated again.

"Ulu, ulu, ulu!" Yang Wenwu subconsciously said something.

Lin Xuanzhi was unmoved, and his tone became more and more cold: "Spread rumors to slander the disciples of the Son of Heaven, officials appointed by the court, and talk about the son of the Marquis of Chaopin, the grandson of the eldest princess."

"Yang Wenwu, you are miserable!"

"You have caused a catastrophe!"

"I don't know what your old father who guarded the country's borders in Beifeng City knows what to do."

Lin Xuanzhi turned around and cupped his hands slightly towards the grandson of the king of Dongping County, "I'm being rude."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about their reactions, and returned to the front, saluted the noble concubine and the eight virtuous concubine above with a terrified expression: "My minister is reckless, and I am disrespectful in front of the phoenix frame. I also ask the imperial concubine and the princess to forgive me!"

"It's true that Yang Wenwu's words and deeds are meaningless. If he only quarrels with his humble ministers, it's all right. In fact, his words insult his kindness. If he doesn't do anything, he is really a son of man."

"Not only that, but tomorrow I will report to His Majesty, to see that Yang Ge has no way to teach his son, and his family is not strict!"

As for Yang Wenwu's white body, it is easier to deal with it.

A crime of spreading rumors and insulting the court officials is enough for him to drink a pot.

Not to mention insulting the family members of famous generals who died for the country?
It's over.

Concubine Tu Gui and Concubine Baxian looked at each other, then turned to look down at Lin Xuanzhi, who was standing proudly, neither humble nor overbearing, and there were calculations in his heart.
