please call me ninth uncle

Chapter 231 Homecoming
The noon sun was strong, shining on the earth, glowing with heat waves, making people sweat involuntarily on their foreheads.

On the streets of Renjia Town, two figures carrying packages walked slowly in.

"Finally home."

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Lin Jiu felt a little emotional for a while.

"Come back, come back!"

Wen Cai beside Lin Jiu was not at all calm at this time, and started yelling like a child.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu smiled and shook his head, "Okay, okay, it's almost done, let's hurry back to Yizhuang."

From leaving Renjia Town to returning, it took almost half a month. The process, needless to say, experienced horse thieves, spider spirits, and royal zombies along the way... It was really a rich experience.

When Wencai returned to his hometown, it was like a wanderer returning home after wandering for a long time. It was inevitable that he would let go of the burden in his heart and regain his innocence, and he would inevitably lose his composure.

"Yes, master. Hehe..."

Wen Cai scratched his head and smirked, but calmed down again.

Then, the two walked along the front.

"what?"

There are still many residents on the street. Seeing Lin Jiu and Wencai at this time, they couldn't help saying in amazement: "Uncle Jiu? Wencai? Uncle Jiu, you are back."

"Yeah, I'm back."

Lin Jiu nodded, and then greeted the people who came to the side after listening to the movement.

At the same time, in the rouge shop, Qiu Sheng said to his aunt Li Xiuxiang, "Auntie, I have to go to Yizhuang to clean up now. You can take care of the shop this afternoon."

"It's okay, go, Lin Daochang is not at home, you have to take care of Yizhuang."

"Don't worry, aunt, I know."

"What's the use of knowing, you have to do things well."

Li Xiuxiang waved her hand, then rolled her eyes, and said, "By the way, it's been almost half a month since Taoist Lin brought Wencai to your uncle Simu Taoist, why hasn't he come back yet? "

"Auntie, how do I know this, maybe the four-eyed master is too enthusiastic and drags the master to prevent him from coming back?"

Qiu Sheng shook his head, and sighed softly in his heart, why didn't he hope that the master would come back soon, after all, Lin Chen came to see him two days ago... Sigh, I hope the master will come back soon.

"Okay, Auntie, I'm going."

After taking off the changed clerk's clothes and putting them on the counter, Qiu Sheng waved to Li Xiuxiang and was about to walk out the door.

At this time, the faint voice of greetings from outside made him stop.

From the back, Li Xiuxiang came forward and looked out the window: "Why do you hear the sound, it seems that someone is saying that Lin Daochang is back? Go out and see if Lin Daochang is really back."

It was indeed Lin Jiu's voice. At this time, he was approaching the Rouge Shop with Wencai. He nodded to the surrounding residents and said, "Okay, everyone go to work, don't worry about me being idle."

Someone laughed and said: "Haha, everyone hasn't seen Uncle Jiu for a long time, so it's inevitable that you are a little enthusiastic. Since you have said so, Uncle Jiu, everyone should stop surrounding Uncle Jiu and go about your own affairs." , and then we'll invite Uncle Jiu to have morning tea."

"Okay, then I won't delay Uncle Jiu's return to Yizhuang."

"..."

"It's true that the master is back."

Hearing the clear voice from outside, Qiu Sheng was overjoyed, and without thinking, he opened the door and walked out.

Looking around, Qiu Sheng suddenly saw Lin Jiu and Wen Cai clasping fists to the crowd a few meters away to his right, carrying parcels on their backs.

"master!"

Qiu Sheng waved and shouted, and trotted over quickly.

"This child, don't say wait for aunt."

Seeing this, Li Xiuxiang couldn't help saying angrily.

But then, she straightened her clothes and hurriedly chased Qiu Sheng out.

Now that Lin Daochang is back, it's better to hurry to say hello.

Once in front of Lin Jiu and Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng smiled and said, "Master, you are finally back."

Then, he hurriedly took off the package from Lin Jiu's shoulder and carried it on his shoulder, and then hammered Wen Cai's shoulder. After looking up and down, he couldn't help being a little surprised and said: "Good guy, I can't even recognize you. You have changed enough. Big one."

Hearing this, Wencai scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's all taught by the master."

"It's not bad for me to see you."

Looking at the rosy-faced Qiu Sheng, who seemed to be in the second spring, Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows in a rare mood: "Why, after I left the town, master, did something good happen?"

"Cough, this, this..."

Qiu Sheng immediately coughed dryly, looking a little embarrassed.

To be honest, after getting married with Ren Tingting, he tried to think about how to tell the master about it, but at this time the master really came back and appeared in front of him, he really didn't know what to do, he was so nervous .

What should I do if the master doesn't agree with me and Tingting? What if the master doesn't like Tingting?
Seeing this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "Why, is there anything hard to say?"

Fortunately, at this moment, Li Xiuxiang who walked quickly made him feel relieved.

"Oh, Lin Daochang, you are back."

Seeing that it was Qiu Sheng's aunt coming, Lin Jiu couldn't care less about Qiu Sheng's affairs, so he quickly smiled and said, "Ah, yes, yes, I'm back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

A pair of peach blossom eyes stared at Lin Jiu, Lin Xiuxiang covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Lin Daochang, you have driven for so long, hurry up and drink some water in my shop, and rest your feet."

Feeling the burning gaze of the other party, Lin Jiu said with a dry smile: "Ah, this, let's forget about this, let's go back to Yizhuang, just go back to Yizhuang."

After all, he quickly winked at Qiu Sheng who was next to him, telling him to say something quickly to get rid of Lin Xiuxiang, an aunt who had lost her husband for many years.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked at him, Qiu Sheng didn't make eye contact with him at all, and looked up at the sky directly. Although the glare in his eyes made him frown and almost shed tears, he didn't intend to lower his head.

"This little bastard..."

Lin Jiu gritted his teeth and could only face Lin Xiuxiang with a dry smile.

To be honest, he was very clear about Li Xiuxiang's thoughts, but what was very puzzling was that he didn't know why, why did he attract young women and women like this?
It was like this when I was in Jiuquan Town, and it's like this now, and that time in Tanjia Town, after the female ghost of the Yang family arranged the formation by herself that night, she obviously had some different thoughts.

Fortunately, I can hold on to it, and I don't have any thoughts about these things for the time being, otherwise, wouldn't I really be turning into a humanoid self-propelled fortress?

Having said that, Li Xiuxiang, as the handsome aunt of Qiusheng, has a very close blood relationship with her, so her appearance is naturally not bad, and women at this time get married and give birth earlier, so Li Xiuxiang's age is also the same as Lin's. Almost as long.

And because she runs a rouge shop, Li Xiuxiang is also far better at taking care of her skin than ordinary people, so she looks like she's only in her thirties, far younger than her real age.

Not bad in appearance, with a plump figure, moist skin, and rich family property, and because her husband died early and had no children, she can be called the best rich woman. In future generations, I don’t know how many little brothers are willing to Begging to be scrubbed by a steel wool ball...

However, Lin Jiu really didn't care about her in this regard. He couldn't understand how Li Xiuxiang fell in love with him. Obviously, the two sides had only met three times in total, and this time was added.

"Oh, Lin Daochang, don't refuse."

Li Xiuxiang patted Lin Jiu's shoulder coquettishly with the small hand holding the handkerchief, and his body shook, and Qiu Sheng next to him twitched: Is this my aunt? Why does she look younger than Tingting?
Could it be that the master's charm is so great, maybe the master is really going to become an uncle~?

"Ahem, this, I really don't need it, I don't need it."

Lin Jiu took two steps back with a dry smile, and then said with a solemn expression: "I haven't been back for so many days, if I don't go home immediately to see the patriarch, I'm afraid the patriarch will blame me at that time, so next time, next time."

"That's it."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Xiuxiang's eyes, then she covered her mouth and said with a coquettish smile, "Well, I understand Daoist Priest, but it's also agreed, we must drink morning tea together next time."

"well."

Lin Jiu, who was nodding his head in a hurry, immediately glared at the two apprentices who were watching the play and said, "Hurry up and go back to Yizhuang!"

As he spoke, he quickly stepped out.

"..."

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng looked at each other, then suppressed their smiles and followed Lin Jiu's footsteps.

"correct."

At this time, Li Xiuxiang's voice came from the back again, but it was to Qiusheng: "Qiusheng, you and Tingting have made it clear to Mr. Lin. We will be a family from now on. I like that child very much."

"Gah!"

Qiu Sheng's complexion, which was suppressed from laughing, froze for a moment, without the slightest bit of defense, and also without the slightest... Was it just like this that the master knew?

He couldn't help crying in his heart without tears: "It's over! Just now I deliberately ignored the master's eyes and asked for help. Now, the matter between Tingting and me, before I can find a proper opportunity to say it, I was directly told by my aunt." You confided...Auntie, you cheated me to death!"

"Tingting? Ren Tingting?"

Sure enough, Lin Jiu turned around and looked into Qiu Sheng's eyes fixedly, making his heart tremble, and said, "Master Ren's daughter Ren Tingting?"

Qiusheng subconsciously wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said with a stiff smile, "Yes, yes, master, listen to me..."

"Needless to say."

Lin Jiu's face darkened, and he pointed at Qiu Sheng with his index finger in the void: "I said, why is your face glowing red, like a second spring... Huh, let's talk about it when we go back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward regardless of Qiu Sheng's reaction.

Good boy, I actually made love to Ren Tingting, it's a bit of a mess, but... I still remember what happened just now, master, let you turn a blind eye, boy, see if I toss or not, and you're done.

"It's over..."

Qiu Sheng's heart sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant. He was not afraid of what his master would do to him, but he was afraid that his master would really disagree with him being with Tingting, then...

In this day and age, one pays attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. His parents died early, and only one aunt is there, but don't you hear that "a teacher's fate is greater than the sky"?
Master, master, can also be a teacher and a father.

It can be said that Lin Jiu can decide the matter of his marriage in one word. If Lin Jiu, the master, disagrees with him and Tingting, then, apart from elopement, the two of them can only wave goodbye.

As for elopement...that's something only immature people would do.

Well, he dare not!

Apart from being afraid that his master would break his three legs, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to bring Ren Tingting to survive in this chaotic world full of monsters and warlords.

In this era, the world is full of dangers, which are far more difficult than surviving on your own.

Next to him, Wen Caishang recovered from what Li Xiuxiang said, he couldn't help squeezing Qiu Sheng's shoulder, and said, "Hey, Qiu Sheng, are you really on good terms with Tingting?"

I was already bitter in my heart, but at this moment, I was asked by the literary talent who had been thinking about Ren Tingting with me before, and asked me a question like a curious baby. Qiu Sheng couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said angrily: "Yes, yes, it's good. up!"

…………

crunch~~
After Qiu Sheng unlocked the gate of Yizhuang, Lin Jiu slowly pushed it open.

The friendly and familiar sound of wood rubbing against each other made Lin Jiu's eyes wet by the wind, and he took a step back.

Turning around, Lin Jiu looked at the embarrassed Qiu Sheng, and said without emotion, "This is the house you saw. How long has it been since you cleaned it?"

"Ahem, this, this..."

Before Qiusheng finished, Wencai fanned the dust in front of him, pretending to be careless and said: "Qiusheng, I said that it's not because you got in touch with Tingting that you forgot the task that the master gave you, right?"

The familiar taste, the familiar way of talking, made Qiusheng excited all of a sudden.

"Nonsense, Wencai, let me tell you, don't fan the flames, master, don't listen to him, listen to my explanation..."

Qiu Sheng was in a hurry, he was in a hurry, he didn't care about bickering with Wen Cai, he hurriedly walked in front of Lin Jiu, fanned the dust, and explained cautiously:
"Actually, I was going to clean up today, but I didn't expect you and Wencai, master, to come back."

The air in summer is already dry and dusty, but Qiu Sheng didn't expect that so much dust would fall after he didn't come to Yizhuang to clean it in just five days?

And when the master came back, because of the incident just now, he had some thoughts about swinging a hammer to himself, but in the end he was dazzled by the dust, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

Today is really unlucky!

At this time, Lin Jiu frowned after hearing Qiu Sheng's words: "You mean, master, I shouldn't come back?"

"I……"

Qiu Sheng opened his mouth, and couldn't help but look dull, did he mean that?

"Haha."

Lin Jiu laughed loudly, patted Qiu Sheng on the back and said, "Okay, okay, I won't play with you anymore, go in and clean up."

With that said, he stepped into the courtyard first.

"Hu~~"

Qiu Sheng couldn't help exhaling suddenly, and quickly followed in.

However, before he was completely relieved, he saw Lin Jiu suddenly turned around, pointing his fingers and said to him: "Hey, I just said that I don't want to play, don't think too much, the matter between you and Tingting is still You have to make it clear to me!"

"what?"

Qiu Sheng was completely dumbfounded, and quickly said with a mournful face: "Master, don't."

Patting Qiu Sheng on the shoulder, Wen Cai walked towards the house shaking his head: "Haha, there is a good show to watch~~"
