The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 259
Lingtan Mountain is located in the northwest of the capital. It is named after a deep pool on the mountain. It is said that there are ten thousand-year-old tortoises in the pool, which can protect the peace of the world.

The Lingtan Temple on the mountain is even more famous.

Families in central Beijing will come to Lingtan Temple to burn incense and ask for advice whenever they have weddings or funerals.

Because it was near Zhongqiu, there was an endless stream of people coming to Lingtan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. When the Lin family arrived, the foot of the mountain was already full of carriages.

Originally, Lin Yuanzhi thought that he was busy with government affairs these days and his family had not been together for a long time, so he came up with the idea of ​​enjoying autumn.

I didn't expect that there would be so many people in a random place.

Lin Yuanzhi was hesitating whether he should just go back home, when a crisp female voice behind him shouted: "Susu! Susu!"

Just as Lin Zisu got out of the carriage, she heard someone calling her name. She turned her head to look, and saw Luo Yue wearing a lotus-colored top and a pink-blue skirt, waving towards her not far away.

Beside Luo Yue, there was Luo Xiao, the second young lady of the Luo family, and a woman with a stern face.

Compared with the past, Luo Xiao looked colder and colder. She forced a smile at Lin Zisu, and then tensed her face again.

As for the woman next to Luo Xiao, she should be the eldest aunt of Luo Yue and Luo Xiao, and the mother of the eldest daughter of the Luo family, Luo Ying.

When Lin Zisu went to detoxify Luo Ying, the woman cried non-stop in front of Lin Zisu with runny nose and tears.

Seeing Lin Zisu, the woman didn't express anything, she just urged a few servants to unload a few boxes from the carriage, presumably she was going to Lingtan Temple to offer incense today.

Luo Yue approached, and after paying respects to the Lin family, she whispered to Lin Zisu, "My grandfather doesn't take care of things recently, and my uncle and aunt have the final say on everything in the family, and I'm getting annoyed to death." Already!"

When Luo Yue mentioned the family affairs, it was like opening a chatterbox.

Since Luo Xiu went to prison this year, and then was dismissed as Minister of Industry, even though he still has the title of Shaofu, he is basically in a semi-official state.

In the past in the Luo residence, Luo Xiu was a unique existence.By now, Luo Xiu was obviously disheartened and left all the mundane affairs of the family to the eldest son and daughter-in-law.

This made Luo Xiao and Luo Yue's sisters suffer. Their fathers had been working abroad all year round, and their mother also went to work with her father this time.

In the past, Luo Xiu supported the two of them, and when encountering some trivial matters in the house, Luo Yue could go to Luo Xiu's place to act coquettishly.

Now it's Mrs. Luo's turn to take charge, and the first thing she does is to introduce Luo Xiao's marriage.

Luo Xiao has reached the age of Jiji this year, and no one can find anything wrong with Mrs. Luo's actions.

Moreover, the marriage arranged by Mrs. Luo for Luo Xiao is also the son of a wealthy family in the capital. Anyone who hears about it will think that Mrs. Luo is choosing someone for her niece with all her heart.

It's just that only the insiders know what these sons are like.

A few days ago, Mrs. Luo was looking for someone to connect with the Jingbian Hou Chang's family. Mrs. Chang was very satisfied to see Luo Xiao.

It is said that Chang Mengliang, son of the Sixth Chang, met Luo Xiao and was willing to marry Luo Xiao back home and form a marriage with the Luo family.

Seeing that the marriage talks were about the same, Mrs. Luo brought Sister Luo Xiao to the temple to offer incense and fulfill their vows.

Luo Yue was about to complain to Lin Zisu, when Xie Xi heard that it was Chang Mengliang, and immediately burst out laughing.

"You said your second sister is going to marry that fellow Chang Mengliang? Then wait to be a widow!"

Luo Yue didn't have a good impression of Xie Xi, and she also felt that Chang Mengliang was not a good match for the second sister, but hearing what Xie Xi said was not polite, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Chang Mengliang?"

Xie Xi has always felt that Luo Yue is flying out of the way, far less sensible than her own Susu.

Hearing that Luo Yue's second sister had a relationship with Chang Mengliang, Xie Xi gloated and talked about Chang Mengliang's past.

"Well, this Chang Mengliang, it's not that he can't do it, but I heard that he has a habit of cutting off his sleeves. By the way, you also know his guest, that Xie Yan. I remember, that Xie Yan is still yours. Brother-in-law, right?"

Xie Xi's words made Luo Yue's face turn pale, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at her second sister, only to see Luo Xiao standing beside her carriage like a wooden figure.

Luo Yue made a calculation in his mind, and the excitement when he saw Lin Zisu just now disappeared.

She pursed her lips, and said to Lin Zisu: "Susu, I'm going to accompany Second Sister, let's chat some other day."

Lin Zisu cast a reproachful glance at Xie Xi, Xie Xi spread his hands helplessly, and said, "I have good intentions, I can't see this Second Miss Luo jumping into the fire, can I?"

Although Mrs. Luo turned a blind eye to the Lin family, after all, Lin Yuanzhi and Luo Xiu had a master-student friendship, and Mrs. Bi went up to chat with Mrs. Luo.

While waiting for Bi's time, Lin Yuanzhi couldn't help frowning as he watched the winding stream of people.

Xie Xi looked at his words and knew that his father-in-law liked quietness and didn't like lively scenes, so he immediately said that he had a Zhuangzi at the foot of Lingtan Mountain, and the scenery was far better than Lingtan Temple.

In this way, relying on Xie Xi's three-inch tongue, the Lin family finally gave up Lingtan Temple and went to Xie Xi's Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain.

This Zhuangzi is on the other side of Lingtan Mountain. As Xie Xi said, the beauty is even better than Lingtan Temple.

Xie Xi obviously came here often, and when the farmer on the Zhuangzi saw Xie Xi, they hurriedly greeted him.

This was the first time to entertain Lin Zisu's family. Xie Xi had already made plans early on the way.

When the Lin family entered Zhuangzi, they saw a large garden of colorful flowers, and when they walked forward, they saw Huizhou houses scattered in twos and threes in Zhuangzi.

For a while, Lin Yuanzhi had the illusion that he was in his hometown in Huainan.

There is also a pool in the center of Zhuangzi, the water surface is as smooth as a mirror, like a piece of emerald green all over.

This is the second time for Lin Wenjing to be a guest at such an exquisite Zhuangzi. The last time was at the Zhuangzi of Princess Yong'an.

This time at the Zhuangzi of his future brother-in-law, Lin Wenjing relaxed a lot and looked around curiously.

Xie Xi took advantage of Lin Wenjing's daze, put his arms around his shoulders from behind, pointed to the pool and said, "There are a lot of fish here, let's catch some fish later, and grill them for lunch."

With the help of Zhuangzi's subordinates, the five members of the Lin family quickly settled down.

Half an hour later, there was a harmonious scene on Zhuangzi.

Xie Xi took Lin Wenjing to sit by the pond fishing, while Lin Zisu sat beside Lin Wenjing, asking questions with a smile.

Under the shade of willows not far away, Lin Yuanzhi sat on a recliner, concentrating on an ancient book, and on the small table beside him, there were more than a dozen similar ancient books.

Holding Lin Ziwan in her arms, Bi sat beside Lin Yuanzhi.

Hearing the laughter of the three young people from a distance, a smile appeared on Bi's face.

May the years be quiet.
