Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 40 Forty Golden Jade 6
At midnight, there was a knock on the door of the Ling family's residence in the eastern suburbs.

Mother Chuahua helped Ling Jing change her clothes and make up, but before she had time to put on her hairpin and earrings, Ling Jing walked to the outer hall with a smile on her face.

Yang Gan stood in the center of the hall, holding a wild goose with one hand. The wild goose's thin legs were tied with a red rope, and he was holding a large box in his arms.

Mrs. Chuuai took the wooden box, opened a crack and looked inside. There were gold coins, gold ingots, and gold pendants. There were also jewelry and jade ornaments among them. There was a thick stack of gold coins at the bottom. Banknote.

Chuihua was surprised and frowned. She immediately expressed her dissatisfaction with Yang Gan's actions of disturbing the people in the middle of the night and said, "Why should Yang Dalang be so impatient."

Yang Gan said hurriedly: "I'm in a hurry. Don't worry, my parents will come to propose marriage as soon as dawn. Three letters and six etiquettes, four betrothals of hardware, eight sedans, and ten miles of red makeup. I guarantee that there will be no shortage of them!"

"Don't make a big deal during the mourning period." Ling Jing stepped forward and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You walked in such a hurry during the day, and I haven't finished my words yet."

"What are you talking about?" Yang Gan swallowed hard. He wanted to grab her wrist but didn't dare to offend. He was distracted and didn't know what to think of. His brows suddenly stood up, "You want to regret it?!"

Ling Jing put the veil on his chest and said with a smile: "I will marry you when I say I will. But before that, I have conditions."

Yang Gan hurriedly took the handkerchief and hurriedly responded, "I agree to any conditions!"

"Listen to me first." Ling Jing covered his lips with her index finger, "First of all, my family has a strong sense of filial piety, so we shouldn't hold weddings. I have another purpose for marrying you. I will tell you in detail after we get married. You can rest assured, absolutely I won’t bring trouble to your family.”

"Secondly, both of my parents in the Ling family are dead. The eldest sister is busy working outside to earn money to support the family. The second brother is away fighting in the war. There are no elders in the family to take care of things. I am the only one who is the oldest, so I have to take over the housework and take care of the younger brothers and sisters. So, The family you marry must be able to accept the daughter-in-law living in her natal family for a long time, and allow her uncles and aunts to visit from time to time. If you agree and don't mind, I, the Ling family, will marry a large house next to it, but the door must be opened to facilitate the two families. Drop by."

"Third, you are not allowed to ask about my wife's family affairs, unless I tell her personally, and no private inquiries are allowed."

"If your family can agree to the above three points, without any red tape, I will immediately pack up my bag and go to your house to be your wife. I will try to give you a big fat child in the next year."

The night sky was filled with stars, but there was no moon.

Yang Gan informed his parents in full of Ling Jing's three requests.

Father Yang and Mother Yang were as silent as stone after hearing this.

"Father, mother, I won't marry anyone but her!" Yang Gan was anxious.

Father Yang had a beard on his face, and his broad black eyebrows stood upright. He put one arm on the table, clenched his fist, and his wrist muscles were flexed uniquely for a warrior. He said in a deep voice: "No banquets, no guests, no betrothal gifts. Carrying a dowry of a thousand gold to pass through the door, living across the wall, and opening the door privately, it sounds like a marriage, but those who don't know the truth think it is a bride."

Mother Yang put on her robe and said hesitantly: "I am attracted to Miss Ling San, but this is... there are many good girls in the world. Your parents will no longer urge you to get married. You can go back and see each other slowly. We are not in a hurry." .”

Yang Gan stood up and said, "I'm anxious! I kissed her long ago! I even touched her! If I don't marry her, who will?"

Yang's father slapped him in the face, "You bastard!"

Mother Yang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She resisted the urge to beat him with a fire stick, but she was so angry that she stepped forward, grabbed his ears, and opened her mouth to scold him, but she didn't know what to scold him. She calmed down her anger and pushed away hard, making her spin around in anxiety.

She put her palms together and raised them above her head, praying in all directions, muttering to herself: "Amitabha, Amitabha...how could I have given birth to such a bastard like you!"

In the end, he couldn't hold back his temper and kicked Yang Gan in the butt, "Daddy! Pack this bastard up and send it to the Ling family now!"

Ling Jing and Yang Gan's wedding was simple and fast. From the proposal to the wedding, it was completed in three days. It takes three years for a bride to prepare for the marriage.

When Ling Feng, who was stationed at the border, received a letter from home, Ling Huai had already put on her wedding dress and a red hijab, and Ling Jing stepped out of the boudoir threshold.

There was a roar of firecrackers outside the door, and Yang Gan was waiting at the foot of the steps dressed as a groom. When he saw the bride going out, he raised his hand with a happy face, turned around and walked out.

Along the way, cannons were fired.

Fireworks were steaming among the carved beams and painted buildings, and a drop of tear silently hit the top of Ling Huai's hair. He was suddenly startled.

Ling Huai stopped and looked at the festive crowds in front of him. They were surrounding Yang Gan and walking out. Ling Huai said, "If you don't want to get married, I will carry you back immediately. I promise, no one can force you to do it." Things you don’t want to do.”

Ling Jing said softly: "I am not unwilling, I am happy. I am very happy to have you marry me in this life, or to marry the person of my choice."

She burst into tears, but there was a smile in her voice.

Ling Cen, who was following closely, took her hand and said, "Third sister, how about you not marry me? I will marry you when I grow up."

Ling Qiong walked up and pushed his forehead away, "That's a nice thought. When you grow up and become a high-spirited young man, you will start to think you are too old."

With that said, Ling Qiong handed over a handkerchief, and Ling Jing took it with tears in her eyes.

Ling Qiong said: "If you don't get what you want, divorce your husband immediately and go home. I can afford it."

"Hmm..." Ling Jing returned the veil to her, her voice sounding like a cry.

The only thing that remained unchanged in the past life and this life was the eldest sister Ling Qiong. After she got married in the previous life, when the two sisters met again, she said almost the same thing to her.

At that time, she whispered in her ear: "If you don't get what you want, break up immediately and go back to the Ling family. I can afford it."

Firecrackers went off all the way to celebrate.

Ling Jing called Ling Dang at this moment: "A Dang."

Ling Dang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Third sister, I'm here."

Ling Jing held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry too much about the Si family's affairs. We take care of everything. As long as you don't want to, I won't let you leave the Ling family even if I fight to the death."

Lingdang nodded heavily, "Yes."

Pei Zhanqing held Fu'an's hand, wiped her tears and said, "Third girl, I have everything in the house. The auspicious time has come, it's time to go out."

As soon as the gate is crossed, the bride goes out, and the groom takes over and sends her into the sedan chair. But as soon as the curtain fell, the sedan bearers shouted, the sedan moved, the gongs and drums beat, the suona blew, the groom bowed to clear the way, scattered the wedding money, and walked forward, gradually getting farther and farther into silence.

Looking at a row of people in front of the Ling family gate.

When Ling Jing got married, she took away Mrs. Chuuai and two maidservants, but it was like taking away the flesh and blood of the Ling family, causing the atmosphere in the Ling family to be depressed.

The building next door was bought by Ling Qiong at a large price. It was used as Ling Jing's dowry residence and was being renovated so that the Yang family could move in early.

Pei Zhanqing was busy with Ling Jing returning home three times, and the maids and women kept walking in the courtyard. Ling Dang couldn't help, so he had to take Fu An and wait in the cubicle to enjoy the cool air.

The family got up early, and Ling Huai and Ling Cen took a day off to have a banquet at home.

They haven't had a good rest recently. Firstly, there is someone missing from the family, and secondly, when the Zhu family and the Si family will come to their door, how should their family deal with it.

Ling Dang twirled the orchid leaves with his fingertips, and inadvertently raised his eyes to see Kui Qing and Li Guanqi in the garden outside the window frame.

Li Guanqi held a wreath in his hand, and Kui Qing stood opposite him, with her head slightly lowered. He put the wreath on her head, and Kui Qing stroked the wreath back and forth and smiled with her eyes closed.

Kui Qingqing was two years older than Li Guanqi. They usually put their heads together to chat. Ling Dang once leaned in to listen to a few words, but he didn't expect that they were chatting about female celebrities.

"..." Ling Dang retracted his ears boredly.

She really wants to shake Li Guanqi hard once. She wants you to be Ling Cen's companion, not an embroiderer.

In private, Ling Cen often disliked her: "Fourth sister can't embroider the flowers well before Guanqi. Only fifth brother in the world will carry the things you made as treasures." Ling Dang took out a purse and Call Fu'an, "Xiao Qi."

Fu'an tilted his head to look at her, "Fourth sister?"

Ling Dang showed the purse in front of his eyes and deliberately asked him in a coaxing voice: "Do you think this purse is beautifully embroidered?"

Fu An nodded and said without hesitation: "It looks good."

Lingdang took out another purse embroidered by Li Guanqi, "How does it compare with this one?"

Fu'an held the jelly soup, glanced at it, tilted his neck to pour the soup into his mouth, and replied to her incomprehensibly: "It looks just as good."

Ling Dang said: "No, I have to choose the best one."

"Oh." Fu'an looked a little embarrassed and simply changed his words, "That doesn't even look good."

"..." He is worthy of being a member of the protagonist group and also an excellent individual.

Ling Dang didn't know what to do, "I have to choose a good one."

Fu'an put down the bowl, thought for a while and said, "Choose which snacks have the most."

"..."

Ling Dang was discouraged. She was really out of her mind to ask such a silly question to a foodie.

She is indeed mentally ill. It's not her fault, it's all Ling Huai's fault.

He treated her so special that it made her worry and have random thoughts.

Before she entered the book, she was not completely blank emotionally. She had had one or two relationships, and although she couldn't say she liked them much, she had experienced the ambiguous period.

Ambiguity is a very emotional and beautiful word that will trigger your paranoia and hysteria. The excitement of the brain triggers hormones in the body that lead to an impulse to agree to a relationship. The conversation does not last long, but the relationship is very brief. Because once you have too much contact, you will find that the other person is completely inconsistent with the lover you expected in your heart, and you will inevitably be disappointed, and you are destined to fail to achieve positive results.

Regarding Yu Linghuai's daily closeness to her, she could sense that it was not an ordinary sibling's dependence on relatives, but a kind of selfish lustful possession.

Ling Cen's words, "You are the only fifth brother in the world who would take something you made as a treasure", although he said it unintentionally, it shook her head like a bell.

Listen and see, she is not the only one who has such absurd ideas. As the so-called bystander knows, Ling Cen is a bystander, but an inexperienced bystander. Even he is aware of it, so how can she pretend not to know.

Lingdang is irritable, and the weather is hot, which makes her even more irritated.

She believed that she wanted Ling Huai to act upright and had no wrong thoughts. How could she talk about seduction? How could she...

"Fifth brother."

Fu'an's call brought back Ling Dang's complicated thoughts. She sat up straight and noticed Ling Huai's gaze falling on her, like a gleam on her back. She had to be a tortoise, not daring to look back at him.

Ling Huai stopped beside her and said, "Third sister is back. You two are missing. I'm just asking."

When Fu'an heard that Ling Jing was back, he immediately jumped off the stool and ran out.

Ling Dang chased after him, "Slow down!"

Take advantage of the opportunity to chase Fu'an to avoid meeting Ling Huai's eyes.

Don't be tempted.

Especially attracted to Ling Huai.

She couldn't resist it.

The family banquet is set in the flower hall, on a large round table. Cold dishes have been served, and the maids are passing the dishes around.

Ling Cen lit firecrackers in the courtyard, ran in with an incense stick, and casually inserted it into the incense burner in front of the newly hung statue of Guanyin in the hall.

Ling Jing got married and returned to Ningxia. Her figure became more graceful and graceful, and her facial features were different from before.

There are flowerpots placed on the small table in the flower hall. It is the flowering period. The petals that used to be in bud bloom at this time. Newly watered in the morning, the stamens are delicate and delicate. The sun is shining at noon, and they bloom especially brightly.

How can I not drink when my new uncle comes to visit?

Yang Gan, who was cheerful at first, turned red as Ling Qiong drank him one cup after another. When Ling Jing and Chuuai helped him back to the house, he was so drunk that he stepped on his heels.

Even then, I didn’t forget to mutter, “Sister, fuck me! Fuck me!”

Ling Qiong was speechless, "There were ten jars of wine. He drank them all by himself. He is really good at drinking. It's a wine jar."

Ji Ji smiled and said, "He is an honest man."

Ling Jing settled down with Yang Gan and returned to the flower hall, where the servants had already been dismissed.

The family gathered around the table again, and after clearing their mouths, the soup came out of the ice basin, and there was a wisp of cool air.

Ling Qiong said: "When the Zhu family heard that you were getting married, they stopped worrying about it."

Ling Jing took a sip of cold soup and asked, "Where is the Si family? There is no movement yet?"

Ling Qiong shook her head and said, "Perhaps the Si family doesn't care that much about married women, let alone a generation apart."

Ling Huai said: "I'm afraid I'm investigating in private. The Si family is in deep water, and the parents are not separated. There is an old lady on the roof of the big house. After the only daughter of the big house got married and disappeared, she adopted a male from the side, Ding Chengxianghuo, Already married. During this period, she also adopted a baby girl to raise as a daughter. The girl got married when she was a child, and they divorced less than a hundred days after giving birth to a baby girl. She and the baby are still being raised in Si's family."

Ling Cen chewed the fragrant beans and said: "In this case, the Si family will not recognize the fourth sister and the second brother back. Why do they recognize them? Do you want to fight with them for the family property? It just so happens that the Si family has no intention, and we have no intention of it. Then you don’t have to worry about yourself and can sleep peacefully.”

"Um, interrupt me." Ling Dang asked weakly, "Didn't anyone find out the reason why Mom broke off contact with the Si family back then? Mom shouldn't be willing to break off the relationship just to marry Dad, right?"

Ling Cen retorted: "How is it impossible? We are living examples. When we were so poor, my father was still fighting in the field all the year round, and he was reluctant to send back a letter. In such hard days that never come to an end, my mother was not willing to leave us and remarry. , just gritted his teeth and carried it. Zhao Niang, a person who accepts death, is likely to act regardless of the consequences. "

Ji has spoken: "Let's just wait and see what happens."

After waiting like this for more than half a month, the Si family finally came to the door.

This visit not only included Mrs. Si Yun, but also Mrs. Ning Er, who was far away in Yuzhou.

Ling Jing frowned when she heard the report, "Mrs. Ning Er? How did she get in touch with the Si family? What kind of trouble does she want to make?"

The house next door has been renovated and Ling Jing and the Yang family have moved in. A doorway was opened in the wall between the two families. Ling Jing stayed at Ling's house most of the day. If she didn't go back after nightfall, Yang Gan would personally come and carry people back to Yang's house.

Ling Cen let go of the parrot in the birdcage and muttered: "Is the Ning family a dog-skin plaster? Why do they come to interfere everywhere?"
