Lin Shangyi, the old man of the Lin family, has always been a little restless recently, has a bad appetite, and can't sleep well.
He has always lived a regular life. He learned some internal skills in his early years and practiced Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin all year round. Although he was in his eighties, his health has always been good. The private doctor said that his heart is healthier than ordinary young people.
But somehow, I felt that my body was not bad during this period, and I felt weak and weak in energy. I had no strength after moving a little.
He thought his deadline was approaching, so he planned to make arrangements for his affairs after he was still alive. The most important one is the marriage of the granddaughter.
'The boy from the Li family has been there for so many years, but I don't know what happened?'
Every evening, Lin Shangyi is used to going out for a walk, and he can't walk until he has just walked far.
"Master, let's go back. "Lin Chanming, the butler who followed him, said.
There are several housekeepers in the Lin family. Lin Chanming is the general manager, but he does not care about specific matters and is only responsible for Lin Shangyi's daily life and diet. With Lin Chanming by his side, Lin Shangyi was relieved, and everyone in Lin's house was relieved.
"The cicadas chirp, you have been with me for more than ten years. "
Lin Chanming was stunned, wondering why Lin Shangyi suddenly said this, "Yes, it's been sixteen years. "
"Sixteen years have passed, and you are old too. "Lin Shangyi sighed, "It's okay if people don't accept old age!"
"What's wrong with the master?"
"After so many years, you have worked hard with me. Have you ever thought about starting some industry by yourself?"
Lin Chanming shook his head: "The master treats me well. Chanming is willing to follow him, and he has no different intentions!"
"Haha, you're thinking too much. "Lin Shangyi smiled heartily, "I am so old that I will leave sooner or later. I am leaving, you still follow me. "
"master..."
Lin Shangyi waved his hand and stopped Lin Chanming from continuing, "You and I are not outsiders, so I won't say those clichés." There will eventually be death, and there will be taboos. A few years ago, I bought a small island in the East China Sea, and the development should be almost the same. I know you don't want to be with ordinary people, so how about you go to the East China Sea to be the owner of the Peach Blossom Island?"
Lin Chanming hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir. "
"Don't rush to thank me. "Lin Shangyi said, "I would like to ask you for help. "
"Please tell me, Master. "
"I still feel scared when I think about the Lin family's disaster more than 20 years ago. Nowadays, the Lin family seems to be booming, but there are many internal and external troubles. Once I die, I'm afraid it will explode. I want to ask you for help. After I die, within three years, you will protect the safety of my descendants of the Lin family. "
"Don't worry, Master, this is what I should have done. "
"There is another thing, there is a person named Li Muchen..." Lin Shangyi paused and turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll talk about this matter to you in detail when you go back. "
The two walked back and when they arrived at the entrance of the villa area, the security guard saw the old man coming back, saluted and bowed, "The old man came back so early today?"
Lin Shangyi has always been easy-going to the people below and said with a smile: "I'm old and can't walk anymore." "
The security guard said: "Mr. Lin treats us servants and poor relatives from the countryside so well. He is a great person. My mother told me since she was a child that good people can live for a hundred years. "
Lin Shangyi laughed: "No way to live a hundred years old? No matter how loud your flattery sounds, it will not change the fate of me, the old horse. "
Suddenly he thought of something, turned his head and looked at the security guard and asked, "What did you say about poor relatives just now?"
The security guard said: "Don't there often poor people come to us to meet relatives? You have told us to be polite to them. Have you forgotten? Isn't there a little Taoist priest here today? "
Lin Shangyi was very happy and patted the security guard on the shoulder, "You did the right thing, people who are poor cannot be short-sighted, and people who are rich cannot forget their roots. Accumulate virtue and do good deeds. After three generations, your descendants will be rich. "
The security guard smiled silly: "Da rich don't dare to think about it, just a small rich, hehe. "
Lin Shangyi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, and was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "You just said little Taoist priest, what kind of little Taoist priest?"
The security guard said: "Today there was a young man dressed like a Taoist priest and asked him to come to you, saying that he was your relative, and he seemed to be Li Shichen. "
"What did you say he was called?" Lin Shangyi put away his smile and asked sternly.
The security guard didn't know why Lin Shangyi was suddenly unhappy and was startled, "He called Li...Mu...Cheng, yes, Li Mucheng, the receptionist of Butler Luo. "
"Where is the person?"
"Leaving. "
Lin Shangyi was furious and shouted: "Call Luo Mingsha to me!"
The security guard's heart was beating. The old man of the Lin family was usually kind and kind, but once he showed his power, no one would be afraid.
Could this person named Li be a liar?
Alas, it seems that the old man is going to be in trouble and also implicated Butler Luo.
...
Lin Qiusheng didn't know what was going on at home, so the old man hurriedly called him home.
The business situation has been going on recently, which has made him in a mess and he really doesn't care about the family affairs.
Back at the old man's residence, his wife Yan Huimin, son Lin Yun, cousin Lin Laifeng, and nephew Lin Shaoheng had arrived long ago. In addition to his daughter Lin Manqing, who was studying in Qiantang, and his nephew Lin Shaoping, who was studying abroad, the main figures of the Lin family have all come.
Lin Qiusheng felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. After he entered the door, no one greeted him, and even his wife did not speak out, and everyone was silent.
The old man sitting on the sofa seemed calm, but there was anger on his face. He must have just gotten angry.
Could it be that the old man has found out that many setbacks have been suffered in business recently?
"Dad, what happened?" Lin Qiusheng asked nervously.
"Then I have to ask your wife, "The old man suddenly got angry and said like thunder, "Ask her what good things she did!"
Mrs. Lin shivered in fear, lowered her head and sobbed.
Lin Qiusheng didn't understand why his father was so angry, so he had to walk over and ask his wife.
While crying, Mrs. Lin told the daytime incident and concealed some details.
"I think, I won't treat him badly if I give him two million. He has never met us, so he came to the door like this, and Manqing will definitely not accept it. Besides, how could our daughter of Lin family marry a poor boy from the mountains? This is spread..."
Lin Qiusheng understood that he certainly knew about his daughter's engagement since childhood, but he never took it seriously and thought it was a joke.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, people really came to me.
"You said you were the same, why would you make a decision without saying anything to your dad? "
"Didn't my dad be in poor health recently? I think I won't bother my dad about this little thing. Moreover, the engagement was made by my father back then. My father is a person who wants to save face. For some things, we should be our children to share the worries of our father. "
All Mrs. Lin said was reasonable, and her sobbing appearance attracted the sympathy of those present.
Lin Qiusheng also felt that his wife was doing right, and his father was a little confused.
But he did not dare to contradict his father and looked at his cousin Lin Laifeng like help.
Lin Laifeng is his uncle's son. Because he died early, the old man felt guilty, so he sometimes speaks in front of the old man better than Lin Qiu's voice.
Lin Laifeng coughed gently:
"Yes, uncle, Huimin's words make sense. Not to mention that this family is not right, just say that the two have never met before. How can Manqing accept it? You don't know Manqing's temper. "
Lin Qiusheng looked at his cousin gratefully, feeling that it should be almost done with his cousin to speak, so he stepped forward and said, "Dad."..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Lin Shangyi suddenly stood up, grabbed the teapot on the table, and smashed it out with force.
With a crisp sound, the purple clay teapot fell into pieces.
Everyone was stunned.
This purple clay teapot was made by a famous artist and is expensive. It is also the old man's favorite thing. Even the purple clay teapot was thrown, which shows how angry the old man is.
No one dares to speak now.
"Poor boy?" Lin Shangyi sneered, "What's wrong with the poor? Open the genealogy and dig it out for three generations. Who has never been poor? Your Yan family has never been poor?"
"I, Lin Shangyi, was poor back then! When I was in trouble, I couldn't even eat enough. If I were like you, could I marry your mother?"
"Master, don't be angry, it's not necessary. "Lin Chanming, who was standing behind Lin Shangyi, whispered.
"It's not that I'm angry, it's that these unfilial boys are so unscrupulous!" Lin Shangyi pointed at the people in the living room with a trembling hand, "I'm not too long, if I leave, who can take on such a big family business? If you drive Li Muchen away, you will regret it!"
"Dad..." Lin Qiusheng didn't understand the relationship between whether he could handle the home business and this person named Li Muchen. Is the old man confused? But he didn't dare to say that, and just asked: "What do you think, let us do so that you can calm down?"
"Look for it! Go and mobilize everyone, don't get the person back," Mr. Lin pointed at Lin Qiu and said, "You should stop being the head of the family, and let your wife go back to Meicheng. "
This last sentence almost made Yan Huimin collapse to the ground.
