Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 181 Mother's Difficulty

After leaving Luoyang, Lin Pingzhi headed south at full speed.

A few days later, he arrived in Hunan. He passed through Changsha first, and stopped by to see the Changsha branch of the Fuwei Escort.

The current Changsha branch has reopened, even more imposing than before.Sweep away the previous decadence.

But Lin Pingzhi didn't go in, but found an inn nearby, rested for a night, and then continued to Hengshan City.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lin Pingzhi came to the Liu Mansion where he had been away for a long time.

The Liu Mansion, which has lost its pillar, is now also stained with many scenes of decline.

In the past, the Liu Mansion was full of people, and many people came to visit Liu Zhengfeng every day.There are also quite a few Hengshan disciples coming and going.

But today's Liu Mansion is closed and no outsiders are seen.The excuse to the outside world is that the Liu family is still in the mourning period, and it is inconvenient to receive foreigners.

But that's not the case, it's just Mrs. Liu's helpless move.

Firstly, it was because she was afraid that the Songshan faction or other Jianghu people would come to cause trouble for the Liu family.After all, although Liu Zhengfeng's fame spread far and wide in the world, he also made many enemies.

Because of the protection of Mr. Mo Da, although these people dare not blatantly look for the Liu family's bad luck.But if they are alone, it is inevitable that they will not be poisoned.

Secondly, Mrs. Liu is now a widow.Although she is Liu Zhengfeng's main wife, she is not too old.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhengfeng are the most typical old couples and young wives.She is 14 years younger than Liu Zhengfeng.

Even Lin Pingzhi's future "big brother" Liu Rong is only 16 years old this year, only two years older than his sister Liu Jing.And "brother-in-law" Liu Qin is still a seven or eight-year-old doll.

There is a lot of gossip about this widow, let alone a woman like Mrs. Liu who was widowed at a young age.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu thanked the guests behind closed doors to avoid suspicion.

Even Mr. Mo Da, an old man in his seventies, didn't stay in Liu's house for too long, so as to prevent others from slandering him.

Lin Pingzhi tied the horse to the horse-tethering stone at the side, and then stepped forward and knocked on the vermilion lacquer gate of the Liu Mansion.

At this time, a maid came to open the door for Lin Pingzhi.

"who are you looking for?"

Lin Pingzhi was about to answer, but when the maid saw Lin Pingzhi's face, she hurriedly shouted joyfully: "Quickly inform Madam! The future uncle has arrived!"

Then he hurriedly opened the courtyard door for Lin Pingzhi and invited Lin Pingzhi to come in.

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's arrival, Mrs. Liu hurriedly arranged her clothes, and then went out to greet him.

Although Mrs. Liu wore a white forehead to keep filial piety for her husband, and wore plain clothes and white clothes, she did not lose her dignity.

Mrs. Liu came to Lin Pingzhi with a smile, and then said with a smile: "The virtuous son-in-law has come from a long way, but I, the mother-in-law, have never greeted him from afar, so I hope the virtuous son-in-law is not to blame."

Lin Pingzhi saluted Madam Liu respectfully and called, "My junior Lin Pingzhi pays his respects to Madam."

Mrs. Liu frowned slightly when she heard this rather familiar title, but then she said, "My nephew has come from a long way, and we have worked hard all the way. Please also serve tea in the house."

At this time, Mrs. Liu ordered the servant girl: "Go and invite the young lady here."

But Lin Pingzhi stopped the servant girl, and said: "Not busy! Today I have something important to discuss with my wife."

Mrs. Liu's heart suddenly stopped, and she said, "That's all right. Nephew, please."

Lin Pingzhi was led into the inner hall, and after tea was served, Mrs. Liu shunned everyone.

Mrs. Liu asked: "I don't know if my nephew is here today to visit Jing'er?"

Lin Pingzhi replied: "Reporting to Madam, that's not the case. The junior is here today to discuss the marriage with Ms. Liu."

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's straight-forward answer, Madam Liu stood up, walked back and forth for two steps, looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Nephew! Right now, your mansion has already given a dowry to my Jinger. And the people around Hengshan City Everyone in the rivers and lakes, big and small, knows about this. Besides, my nephew told the heroes of the world that he likes a little girl at the meeting of the deceased husband to wash his hands at the Golden Basin that day. This man is a man who is worthy of his promise."

"And the concubine and the daughter are not unenlightened people. In the future, if the nephew has another woman he likes, he can marry him. If the nephew insists, he can also marry her as an ordinary wife. There is no need to worry about it." Concubine. Moreover, the deceased husband left a lot of family property to the concubine, and the nephew does not have to worry about our orphans and widows causing trouble to the nephew."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu's tone was a little crying.Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Although Mrs. Liu is married to the second head of the Hengshan School, Mr. Liu, she is just an ordinary woman. In this arena, she does not have the ability to protect her children and family business, so she can only find a way to find a reliable one. man of.

Mr. Mo Da is very old now, maybe someday he will go west of Hexi.

And her children are powerless to protect themselves.

Like his father, Liu Rong likes music, especially piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can cultivate sentiment.Moreover, he is keen on fame and does not know martial arts.

And although Liu Jing has learned a few superficial kung fu, she is just a girl.As for Liu Qin, he was still a baby.

If one day Mr. Mo Da is no longer around, then there is really no hope for the four of them, mother and child.

At that time, it is inevitable that someone will come and bully their orphans and widows to eat "extinct households".

Especially the third head of the Hengshan School, the golden-eyed eagle Lu Lianrong.

This guy colluded with Zuo Lengchan and betrayed Liu Zhengfeng.

And he has always coveted the position of the head of the Hengshan School, as well as Mrs. Liu's beauty.Even the beauty of Liu Jing, the "big niece".

If Mr. Mo Da is gone, the Liu family will have no new backer.So whether it is the head of the Hengshan School, Mrs. Liu, or the wealth of the Liu family, they are all in the pocket of this golden-eyed eagle.

Mrs. Liu doesn't care about anything now, but as a mother, she must protect her children.Even if it's just to save her daughter alone, she is willing.

When Lin Pingzhi saw Mrs. Liu's appearance, he felt a little sad.In this precarious situation, it is really difficult for her to be supported by only her, a woman.

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly stood up and said: "Ma'am, I misunderstood. The junior came here today to discuss something with the madam. It is not for the purpose of retiring the engagement. Besides, if a gentleman is a promise, how can this junior renege on his promise?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately turned her worries into joy.She sat back, wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, and then asked: "What does the virtuous son-in-law have to say, just talk to my mother-in-law."

Lin Pingzhi also sat down. He waved his hand and said, "Ma'am, it's not too late to call the word 'virtuous son-in-law'. This junior promises to marry Miss Liu, so he will not break his promise. But before marrying, this junior still wants to test , Is Miss Liu really interested in me?"

Mrs. Liu said at this time: "What is my nephew talking about? It is the so-called 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words'. It has been solitary since ancient times. Jing'er marries you, as long as you nod, the concubine nods, and your father makes you nod." .After that, there will be a big engagement with nine gifts of bonuses, and then we will choose an auspicious day to get married. Why is there any test? Could it be that my nephew can't trust my Jinger's character?"

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Nephew, you can rest assured that my Liu family has a clean and upright family, and Jing'er can't do that kind of unruly thing. If she really did it, my first mother She can't spare her alone. Besides, although Jing'er loves to punch a few times, she is also proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also very familiar with the principles of women's virtues and women's three obediences and four virtues since she was a child."
