Chapter 184 Father Lin: I am not envious of Nephew Su’s gift [Lin Chuan: No, you are just envious]

[Ps. Chapter 181 has been reviewed and I don’t know when it will be released]

Boom boom boom!
The sound of watchmen beating drums could be heard faintly from the distant streets.

Corner Tower Street.

Especially here at the end of the street.

Still as peaceful and peaceful as ever.

However, the number of lighting fixtures such as braziers and torches in front of Su Xian's house has doubled, lighting up the place even brighter.

The illuminated area is also larger.

It was more than ten feet in diameter and brightly lit.

This is actually because the number of guards stationed at the gate of Su Xian's house more than doubled to 30.

Chen Keyan guessed right. Princess Lanling had indeed sent more soldiers to garrison.

Even though the number of people stationed increased, there was not a single noise, not even a cough.

The soldiers stood like pine trees, wearing strong armor and sharp swords, like pieces of wood. The armor on their bodies reflected dazzling golden light in the firelight.

This is mainly to prevent thieves.

But Su Xian resisted and did not hit them——

This move serves no purpose!

There is an antique shop in the middle area of ​​Jiaolou Street.

This is shopkeeper Luo's shop.

It was already midnight, and the shop had long been closed, but there was a bright light in front of the shop. That was the light coming from the door of Su Xian's house.

Suddenly, the door of the antique shop opened a small crack.

But it turned out to be shopkeeper Luo, who got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. He saw bursts of light coming in through the window, making the house look like dusk. Out of curiosity, he opened a crack in the door and looked in the direction of Su Xian's house.

"Hiss... before sunset, there were still more than a dozen personal guards, but now there are more than 30!?" Shopkeeper Luo was surprised.

"It seems that Nephew Su Xian has really made a great success!"

"..."

He closed the door gently, and while pulling the latch, he frowned and said in his heart:

"But... eh, seeing that he has just started to rise to fame, nephew Su Xian is about to marry Tofu Xishi..."

After closing the door bolt, he shook his head and walked to the bedroom.

"There are countless people in Tofu Xishike, and Nephew Su Xian wants to join in. Isn't this..."

"Um?!"

Shopkeeper Luo's footsteps suddenly stopped, his expression became strange, and he couldn't help but murmured: "That's wrong! Nephew Su Xian often meets with Tofu Xishi, but why does he..."

Shopkeeper Luo frowned fiercely, as if he had encountered an eternal puzzle, he stood there and analyzed:

"Nephew Su Xian was not affected by the disaster, but was appreciated by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"First, I was rewarded with the title of 'Jinshi', and then I was given the official position of Xibu Jijiu... Oh, now I've been promoted again, from the sixth rank of Literary Officer..."

"In addition, I heard that there are also rewards such as gold and silver, fertile land and huge houses, palace utensils, etc., too numerous to mention!"

"This... Tofu Xishi can really only defeat people?"

"In the past, there were quite a few people who were killed by Tofu Xishi. That's for sure. But now, Su Xian Nephew has no problem. Instead, he has been promoted and made a fortune..."

"What exactly is going on?"

"..."

The light in front of Su Xian's house is really too bright.

Neighbors nearby, who got up to use the toilet at night, almost all noticed the bright light.

They all reflected on the relationship between Su Xian and Liu Huixiang.

And the fact that Su Xian got promoted and made a fortune...

The questions in their minds were exactly the same as Shopkeeper Luo's.

……

……

at the same time.

The western area of ​​the city.

Lin House.

Today, the county school is on holiday, and Lin Chuan has returned home.

The Lin family was busy late. They had just finished their dinner and were preparing to take a bath and rest.

The place where Lin Chuan goes to school is still the county school in Leshou County, which has not changed.

Because after Yingzhou Prefectural Government moved to Leshou County, it did not annex the entire Leshou County, but coexisted. There are both Yingzhou Prefecture Government Office and Leshou County County Government Office in the city.

Naturally, there are both Leshou County School and Yingzhou Prefecture School in the city.

back hall.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest early." Father Lin stood up and said.

"Okay." Lin Chuan stood up with a smile.

"Chuan'er, go back and take a good bath. Look, everyone has lost weight since they came back from the county school. Didn't they eat well in the county school?" Mother Lin asked with concern.

"Humph!"

Father Lin snorted coldly, pointed at Lin Chuan and cursed: "It's not that he doesn't eat well, but he plays too well! A doctor of economics once told me in private, do you often climb the wall to hang out in a brothel in the middle of the night?"

"Uh……"

Lin Chuan's face straightened up and he said loudly: "That's nonsense. When that old Confucian scholar saw that I was not good at school, he used other methods to slander me. Daddy, please don't believe it."

Father Lin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, but took the opportunity to ask:

"By the way, since you often sneak out of the county school, why don't you want to get closer to Nephew Su Xian?"

"Dad, don't talk nonsense! I didn't sneak out of the county school." Lin Chuan's face, which was prettier than his daughter's, was a little unnatural.

"Husband, please don't say a few words. I believe in Chuan'er, and he never goes to those places to fool around." Lin's mother helped to speak.

"Humph!"

Father Lin was too lazy to argue with him.

Lin Chuan's fair and handsome face became even more unnatural, and he lowered his head slightly.

"That's all! I heard that Nephew Su Xian was not only promoted this time, but also received many rewards, and they are all palace objects, which are extremely rare."

Father Lin stared at Lin Chuan fiercely and asked with a little expectancy:

"Chuan'er, you are nephew Su Xian's classmate and good friend. You helped nephew Su Xian a lot in the past. Have you...have you ever visited nephew Su Xian's house?"

Lin Chuan looked dumbfounded and said in surprise:
"What! Brother Su, he got promoted again?!"

"..."

Seeing his son's surprised expression, Lin's father finally lost his composure.

He could condone Lin Chuan's truancy and wandering, but he could not tolerate Lin Chuan's "unruly" and "bad management"!

Father Lin's eyes widened and he slowly raised his hand, as if he was about to have an attack.

Mother Lin hurriedly stepped in front of Lin Chuan and said with a smile: "Husband, calm down, Chuan'er is still young after all. As a father, you should teach me more..."

"call!"

Father Lin let out a mouthful of anger, put down his slap, suppressed his anger forcibly, then looked at Lin Chuan and said:

"That's all...I just found out that after Nephew Su Xian returned to the city today, he stopped by the state government office and gave him a generous gift!"

"They are all palace objects given by Princess Lanling, including a set of colorful glazed tea cups!"

"Tang Shijun is a classmate of nephew Su Xian's father. With this relationship, it is naturally right for nephew Su Xian to come to give gifts..."

"..."

At this point, Lin's father glared at Lin Chuan and said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot become steel:
"Look at you, you are really not as good as Nephew Su Xian. Everyone knows that they visit each other and give gifts to maintain relationships. How about you? You only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long!"

"..."

"I never go to a brothel!" Lin Chuan immediately retorted.

"Did I say you went to a brothel? Haha, you're not asking for it, right?"

Father Lin was very proud.

It's over, it's over, there's no more than 300 taels of silver here, I'm over this time, and my mother is still by my side... Lin Chuan really wants to slap himself twice, it's really cheap.

"Husband, please stop saying these words. It is impossible for Chuan'er to go to those smoky places!" Mother Lin suddenly said.

"You...I will be mad at you mother and son sooner or later!" Lin's father waved his hand vigorously.

"Thank you, mother..." Lin Chuan felt very ashamed and vowed never to go to a brothel again... Wait, what did you swear just now?

Father Lin slowly let out another breath of anger, then looked at Lin Chuan and said:

"Nephew Su Xian has severed ties with the family. In this city of Yingzhou, the only relative and friend of Nephew Su Xian, apart from Tang Shijun, is you!"

"Of course, I'm not envious of those palace objects! I'm just saying that as Nephew Su Xian's only classmate and good friend, you still need to maintain the necessary movement, otherwise the relationship will fade over time..."

"..."

Lin Chuan, who had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, I think you are envious of those palace objects and the gifts Tang Shijun received!"

"..."

The corners of Father Lin's mouth twitched, causing his beard to tremble as well.

Is this son... really his biological son?
"I'm going to beat you to death today, you beast!"

"..."

Lin's father was completely furious. He raised a palm and chased Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan ran away.

Mother Lin stood between the two father and son and tried to stop...

For a moment, the back hall of Lin Mansion was in chaos again.

Lin Chuan ran for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him. He ran wildly and shouted: "Dad, please calm down, my child thought of something, it is very important!"

"I'm going to beat you to death today, you beast..." Father Lin couldn't listen.

"Dad...I'm going to visit Brother Su overnight!" Lin Chuan gasped and shouted.

"what?"

Father Lin stopped immediately, and the anger in his eyes subsided slightly.

"I'm going to visit Brother Su overnight!"

"You..." Father Lin swallowed, his expression quickly softened, and he couldn't help but said: "Very good! That's how it should be."

"Father, mother, I'm going now?" Lin Chuan pretended to run away.

"Are you going empty-handed like this? Bring some gifts before you leave!" Father Lin reminded.

"Oh, yes, I'll get ready right now."

"..."

Lin Chuan quickly slipped out of the back hall, and before going out, he turned around and shouted: "By the way, I may stay at Brother Su's house tonight, parents, don't worry."

"Living at Nephew Su Xian's house? Wait, are you going to a brothel, you bastard?"

"..."

Father Lin and Mother Lin chased him out of the back hall, but Lin Chuan was nowhere to be seen...

By the way, Lin Chuan really wanted to make an excuse to go to the brothel to have a good time. He said he was going to visit Su Xian, which was just an excuse. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

But as soon as he slipped out of the house, he saw a group of soldiers in bright armor riding horses, each holding a torch.

There were several carriages behind, which were flatbed carriages, with many large wooden boxes seemingly fixed on them with thick hemp ropes.

Wheels roll.

The sound of hoofs.

Lin Chuan was stunned, wondering where the soldiers were going in the middle of the night?

No matter what, let's sneak away to Pinyu Pavilion first. Miss Xiaoluo, I want you to sleep with me tonight... Lin Chuan got on a carriage and prepared to set off.

Unexpectedly, a soldier walking at the front suddenly stopped him and shouted:

"Are you Lin Chuan?"

"I am Lin Chuan." Lin Chuan stopped, turned to look at the soldier and asked, "I wonder what this military master has to say?"

"It is indeed Mr. Lin!"

The soldier's expression suddenly became overjoyed, he dismounted from his horse, bowed his hands and said, "It's a good time to see Mr. Lin here, and it saves me the trouble of communicating."

"Are you here to find me?"

A trace of suspicion appeared on Lin Chuan's handsome face, which was fairer than a girl's face.

But seeing this soldier smiling again, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

"Oh, I'm the personal guard of Princess Lanling's mansion, ordered by Su Wenxue and Su Xian, to give gifts!" The soldier cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"..."

"Brother Su sent you to deliver gifts!?"

Lin Chuan was surprised and opened his mouth wide.

……

The reward Su Xian received this time was extremely generous, with hundreds of various palace objects.

The Tang family gave away four pieces, but the consumption was too small and the family could not accumulate them, so Su Xian thought of his only classmate and friend Lin Chuan.

Logically speaking, Su Xian should make the trip in person.

But he was eager to see Liu Huixiang.

Also eager to know Xiao Xian Zi’s true identity.

Moreover, the gift this time was for Lin Chuan. Friends don't need to pay so much attention to it, so Su Xian didn't come, but entrusted these personal guards.

The soldiers received orders from the princess to follow Su Xian's orders, so they readily accepted them.

……

A large number of flatbed carriages stopped in front of the gate of Lin Mansion. The guards and the servants in the manor worked together to carry wooden boxes down one by one, making the place look like a dock for unloading goods.

"Nephew Su Xian!"

"Nephew Su Xian!"

"Nephew Su Xian, you can come as soon as you come. Why are you giving me a gift..."

"..."

At this time, Father Lin's shouts came from the door of the mansion, from far to near, and there were also messy footsteps.

The news of Su Xian's gift naturally reached the ears of the owner of the Lin Mansion, Father Lin.

Maybe the servant didn't explain it clearly, but Lin's father thought that Su Xian had come in person, so he hurriedly ran towards the door of the house.

outside the gate.

Lin Chuan and the soldiers and boys unloading the goods were stunned when they heard this.

Others turned back and looked around.

Su Wenxue didn’t come at all!

Lin Chuan twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and ran into the house, ready to tell Father Lin the truth to avoid making a fool of himself.

But who would have thought that after Lin Chuan entered the door, he would meet Lin's father face to face.

Just as he opened his mouth to tell the truth, Father Lin, who was rushing towards him like a high-speed locomotive, stretched out a big hand, pressed his thin shoulder and pulled it to the side...

Lin Chuan fell directly to the side of the road and lost his shit.

Naturally, as soon as the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.

At this time, Father Lin's roar of "get out of my way" could be heard...

After Lin's father rushed out of the house, he looked for Su Xian everywhere and shouted:
"Nephew Su Xian... Nephew Su Xian... Nephew Su Xian... Huh? Where is nephew Su Xian?"

"..."

Outside the gate of the mansion, the guards and servants were either carrying wooden boxes or standing there, all looking at Father Lin in confusion, their faces gradually becoming weird.

Fortunately, a servant in the mansion reacted quickly and hurriedly ran over to report:
"Alang made a mistake. Su Wenxue didn't come, he only sent gifts."

"..."

It suddenly became quiet outside the mansion.

Needle drop is audible.

Lin Chuan was lying on the side of the road inside the mansion gate, breathing in the cool air, and the picture outside the mansion gate could emerge in his mind.

At this time, a gust of night wind suddenly blew up, picking up the fallen leaves beside the road. The wind whistled, and the fallen leaves whirled and danced... flying among the soldiers and boys who were holding back their laughter!
awkward!

So fucking embarrassing!
Inside the mansion gate, beside the road.

Lin Chuan breathed in the cold air and laughed loudly while lying on the ground. He breathed in and out, causing breathlessness. Lin Chuan coughed violently and his fair face turned red.

This haha ​​of laughter and coughing seemed so abrupt at this moment.

Everyone outside the door turned to look.

Especially Father Lin, whose face was already livid. He slowly raised a palm, rushed into the door and shouted: "You traitor, I will beat you to death today!"
