But when the two actually met, his heart calmed down instead.

Lin Xiu looked at her, with a polite smile on her face, and asked, "When did Miss Zhao come back?"

The woman on Zhao Lingyin's arm also smiled slightly and said: "I just came back this morning, and I will go to the house tomorrow to visit my uncle and aunt."

Lin Xiu and her eyes met, those eyes were clear and deep, as if containing the sea of ​​stars.

Chapter 123

Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun's first meeting did not cause any waves.

There was no bloody love at first sight, nor did I find her annoying.

Lin Xiu had been assassinated twice. At first he thought it was because of the marriage contract, but later he found out that the perverted prince was behind the two incidents.

Zhao Lingjun is indeed a beauty, but it is not as exaggerated as Lingyin said. Lingyin once said that her sister's appearance is a hundred times better than hers. In Lin Xiu's view, the two sisters have their own merits and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

But Zhao Lingjun had an aura that Lin Xiu had never seen before.

Lingyin did not have this temperament, Princess Minghe did not, Xue Ning'er did not, and neither did Qin Wan.

That is confidence.

Unsurpassed self-confidence.

She has the qualifications to be confident, because she is Zhao Lingjun, who awakened the ability of strange magic at the age of five, stepped into the earth at the age of 14, and was the first genius in Daxia's history. If she is not confident, who can be confident?

In addition to self-confidence, Lin Xiu also felt cold.

Lingyin is also a piece of ice, but she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Beneath her unsmiling appearance is a fiery heart.

Zhao Lingjun's smile was contagious and beautiful, but Lin Xiu could feel that under this smile, there was an ice-like chill, making it difficult for people to approach.

When they met for the first time, Lin Xiu only said hello to her, and didn't say anything else.

He didn't know what to say.

On the streets of Wangdu, the figures of the two sisters gradually faded away, Xue Ning'er and Li Baizhang had already left, and there was no more food to eat, Lin Xiu shook her head, turned and walked towards the Lin Mansion.

At the same time, in the palace.

Zhu Jin hurriedly ran into a palace in the harem, and as soon as he ran into the palace courtyard, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy, Tianjiao of the Zhao family has returned to the capital!"

After a while, the disheveled Emperor Xia ran out of the hall. Because of the sudden news, he didn't even wear shoes. He stood on the ground barefoot and said while putting on his clothes, "You said that Zhao Lingjun is back!"

Zhu Jin nodded and said: "I just came back this morning, this old slave just got the news, so I came to report to His Majesty."

Emperor Xia smiled all over his face, and said: "It's good to be back, go and find the people from Guantiansi, let them do the math, what is the nearest auspicious day for the zodiac, and let someone draw up an order immediately, I will I want to give you a marriage..."

Not long after Lin Xiu returned home, before she had time to tell her parents the news of Zhao Lingjun's return, several figures strode in from outside.

It was Zhu Jin who walked in the front.

Zhu Jin glanced at Lin Xiu with a half-smile, and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and Uncle Ping'an's family will accept it..."

The servants of Lin's mansion knelt in a row on the ground, Uncle Ping'an and his wife didn't know what happened, they stood in the middle of the yard with blank faces.

Lin Xiu probably guessed something, and secretly scolded the dog emperor in her heart, is she so impatient?

Holding the imperial decree, Zhu Jin read aloud: "The imperial edict said: The daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, Lingjun of the Zhao family, is extremely talented, outstanding in appearance, dignified in nature, gentle and bright, and Lin Xiu, the son of Uncle Ping'an, is of noble character and elegant manners. The appearance is very good, the two are created in heaven, there is little marriage contract, when the time is right for marriage, I will become the beauty of a beautiful woman, I will give the two of them a special gift, and I will also reward a Wujin wedding residence in Dongcheng, 20 servant girls, ten thousand taels of silver, and a hundred pieces of silk... ..., and all the ceremonies will be undertaken by Guan Tiansi, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and we will be married on the ninth day of February, Qinzai."

After reading, he glanced at Uncle Ping'an and said, "Please accept the order and thank you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Uncle Ping'an and his wife immediately accepted the imperial decree, and both of them were happy.

It is not very common for His Majesty to bestow marriages, not to mention rewarding so many things, not to mention the maids and servants, silver silk cloth, the market value of the mansions in Wujin, Dongcheng City will not be less than 20 taels of silver, His Majesty will reward them directly What kind of handwriting is this for a wedding residence?

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the marriage between the two was jointly undertaken by the Ministry of Rites and Guan Tiansi. This kind of regulation is usually only for princes and princesses when they are married. This is enough to show that His Majesty treats them Couple of attention.

Zhu Jin looked at Lin Xiu with a smile, and asked, "Mr. Lin, what about you?"

Lin Xiu said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."

Today is the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival. I got married on the [-]th day of the second lunar month. I have done my best, and there is only less than a month left. Is the dog emperor afraid of long nights and dreams?

At this time, in the Zhao Mansion, the eunuch who delivered the decree had already read the imperial decree and left.

Marquis Wu An took the imperial decree and said, "Except for the prince's grand wedding, His Majesty has never shown any kindness to others. It's just that at this time... the ninth day of February, less than a month from now, it's a bit too hasty."

Zhao Xuan stood behind a woman, looked at her anxiously, and said, "Sister, you can't marry that guy, he's not a good person!"

From the eunuch delivering the decree to the Zhao residence, until he left, Zhao Lingjun didn't say anything, even his expression was as calm as ever.

Marquis Wu An looked at her and asked, "Lingjun, what do you think?"

Although this is his daughter, after the age of five, she spends very little time with them, and even she doesn't know what her daughter is thinking.

Zhao Lingjun smiled slightly and said, "Since the imperial court will host the wedding, we don't have to worry about it, it's a good thing."

She didn't seem to care about these things, she took Zhao Lingyin's hand and said with a smile: "Lingyin, let's go to your yard and let me see how much you have improved in cultivation this year..."

A moment later, in Zhao Lingyin's small courtyard.

She held a silver long spear in her hand, and stabbed it out. The tip of the spear drew an afterimage in the void, and stabbed straight at the chest of another woman.

Zhao Lingjun stood at the same spot without any movement, the gun stayed three inches from her chest, and couldn't get any further.

Zhao Lingyin exhausted all her strength, her face turned red, but the tip of the spear remained motionless.

She put away her silver gun a little discouraged, and said: "I can't be my sister's opponent, I can't even touch you."

Zhao Lingjun smiled slightly and said: "Your Yuanli has improved more than I expected, and your martial arts are even more unexpected. Your shot just now is already very powerful."

Zhao Lingyin knew that the rapid progress of her Yuanli was due to the double cultivation of ice and fire during this period.

The progress in martial arts is entirely due to Lin Xiu. After practicing every day, he will accompany her to practice marksmanship for a while.

At this time, Zhao Lingjun stretched out her hand to make a move, and the silver gun flew into her hand. She said in surprise, "This gun seems to be made of pure meteorite. Where did you get it?"

Zhao Lingyin said: "It's Lin... brother-in-law sent me."

My sister had just come back, and they were just focusing on reminiscing about the old days. Now that Lin Xiu was mentioned, Zhao Lingyin had countless things to tell her.

She looked at Zhao Lingjun and said, "Sister, you don't know, he awakened the magic of ice half a year ago, and the talent for the magic is not low at all. Not only that, but his talent for martial arts is even higher. He just entered the martial arts academy. Then I entered the Tianziyuan..."

Zhao Lingjun listened to her quietly with a smile on her face.

When it came to Lin Xiu, Zhao Lingyin seemed to have endless topics to talk about. It was not until half an hour later, when she was already a little thirsty, that she stopped talking and said to Zhao Lingjun, "Actually, he is not as bad as people outside said. He awakened a bit late, but his talent is higher than mine, and he will catch up with me sooner or later, by the way, the gold hairpin and jade bracelet I gave you were also given to you by him..."

Zhao Lingjun looked at the jade bracelet on her hand, shook her head and said, "I haven't seen me before, how could it be given to me?"

Zhao Lingyin smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Actually, I asked him to keep it for you. You don't know, sister. Lin Xiu is good at everything. The only shortcoming is that she is too attractive to women. There are always many people around her." Girls circle around him, after you get married, you have to watch him closely..."

Zhao Lingjun smiled and said, "You seem to know him very well."

Zhao Lingyin curled her lips and said, "Of course, I helped you keep an eye on him every day when you were not in the capital, otherwise, he would have been tricked away by some women with malicious intentions..."

Chapter 124 You are still far behind

Lin House.

Sending away Zhu Jin, the Lin family was very happy from top to bottom. Zhou Yun was already preparing to sew the quilt by herself. Although the imperial court would prepare these things for the big wedding, she still felt that she sewed them by herself. only makes sense.

Lin Xiu couldn't be called happy, but she wasn't sad either.

After all, it is a helpless political marriage. As a modern person, he advocates free love, not arranged marriages. He really can't arouse too much enthusiasm for this kind of marriage that drives ducks to the shelves.

But it would be a bit too hypocritical to say that you are sad, angry, and so on.

He has met Zhao Lingjun before. Leaving aside her talent for strange arts, let's just talk about her figure and face. Which man in the capital can marry her without hiding under the blanket and laughing secretly?

He is so cheap and behaves like a good boy.

Originally, as a junior, Zhao Lingjun was going to visit the Lin residence today.

Because half a month ago, Lin Xiu had already visited her parents.

But Emperor Dog's gift of marriage came too fast, and the wedding date was even more anxious, as if he was about to die and could not catch up with Lin Xiu's wedding.

According to the Daxia etiquette, the bride and groom cannot meet one month before the wedding.

The reason why there is this rule is not because the etiquette is conservative, but because the reality is too open. Those young men and women who have made a marriage contract but have not yet officially married are like dry wood and fire. It's something that humiliates the family, and the dignitaries just think that face is extremely important, so they simply set this rule.

After getting married, the door is closed, and the young couple can do whatever they want, but before getting married, no matter how dry the firewood is, no matter how fierce the fire is, they must keep a safe distance.

The imperial court was responsible for all matters related to the wedding, so although the preparation time was very tight, Lin Xiu was free.

After the Lantern Festival, the Martial Dao Academy and the Yishu Academy were opened, and he resumed his hard life of practicing.

In the morning, he practiced different arts with Princess Lingyin Minghe, and in the afternoon he continued martial arts. If Li Bozhang knew that he practiced so hard, he would be very touched.

What Lin Xiu regrets most now is that when he was in school, he spent most of his thoughts on picking up girls. If he had studied physics at that time, he would have devoted himself to scientific research instead of idleness after graduation, preferably in the direction of high-voltage power generation. Now It doesn't mean that they can only sell wine and perfume. They have already spent money on research with Li Baizhang and built a power station to practice the power of thunder.

Practicing with science is the supreme way.

……

In the Martial Arts Academy, after a month of closure, and a few days after the academy opened, everyone in the Tianzi Academy was about to meet the challenges of other academy students.

In the past month, there are many students who have not stopped their hard work. They are eyeing the position of the Tianzi Academy, and they have been waiting for the opening of the academy to challenge those positions.

It's just that, as the leader of the Martial Arts Institute, everyone in Tianziyuan is not easy to defeat. Five challengers came up one after another, but they all ended in failure.

After the sixth challenger was kicked off the ring, another figure jumped up.

It was a young, handsome boy.

As soon as he jumped onto the ring, his gaze was fixed on Lin Xiu, he pointed at him, and said loudly, "I want to challenge you!"

Seeing that young man was going to challenge Lin Xiu, many martial arts students under the ring showed strange expressions.

Didn't he realize that the six challengers before him didn't even dare to look at that person when they were choosing their opponent?

Young people, really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

In the arena, the expressions on the faces of the rest of the Tianziyuan geniuses also became interested.

They naturally knew this young man.

The son of Marquis Wu'an, he is very talented in martial arts. Although he is also a student of the Martial Arts Institute, he has practiced outside with a famous teacher since he was a child. Although his true energy has not reached the upper level of the Xuan level, his strength should not be underestimated.

If his chosen opponents were them, they really had to be careful.

But he actually chose Lin Xiu, the fastest man in the Martial Arts Academy. Isn't this making himself unhappy?

Besides, isn't Zhao Xuan the younger brother of the proud Zhao family? Lin Xiu should be his brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law challenged his brother-in-law. What's the situation?

Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Xiu, he didn't like this face, although it was pretty.

My elder sister married the Lin family, and it was their Lin family who took over.

So he looked down on Lin Xiu. From the beginning to the end, he thought that Lin Xiu was not good enough for his sister.

He felt that since Lin Xiu had climbed the Zhao family, she should have a humble attitude.

But he didn't.

Not only did he not, but his attitude was very arrogant. Seeing that he was besieged by others, he turned around and left directly, so Zhao Xuan didn't like him even more.

All he wanted was to make Lin Xiu look ugly and release the anger that had accumulated in his heart for a long time, but he didn't realize that all the expressions on and off the ring were weird.

Only the few girls he brought were looking at him expectantly.

There is a girl he likes there, Zhao Xuan thought to himself, he must behave well in a while.

Lin Xiu got up slowly from the chair, walked to the middle of the ring, and found that Zhao Xuan's gaze was intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the girls under the ring, and she immediately understood in her heart.

Zhao Xuan chose a wooden gun beside the weapon rack, and then said to Lin Xiu, "It's up to you to choose."

The Zhao family seems to like to use guns, and Lingyin has practiced marksmanship since she was a child.

Lin Xiu walked to the weapon rack and also chose a gun.

In this scene, Zhao Xuan didn't feel anything. The students in the arena and the house were already stunned.

The last time Lin Xiu used one against eight in the ring, he only used a short knife. This time, he actually chose a long spear...

The eyes of the ten people in Tianziyuan were even more concentrated.

After the last group arena battle, Vice President Chen told them that Lin Xiu's physical skills were strong, but her true energy was her weakness, and she couldn't break through their defenses.

Later they learned that Vice President Chen's words could not be trusted.
