Qinghe Pastoral

Tian's family was no ordinary farmer in the village, so after the maid told Tian Yu what she had seen and heard one by one, Tian Yu felt very happy in his heart, and quickly asked his servants to publicize the matter.

In just one day, everyone in the village knew about it, and rumors abounded for a while.A few days ago, everyone knew that the rich young master in the city went to Lin Mu's house to propose marriage, but they never expected that the old man would bring his daughter to meet him in private.This kind of behavior is contemptible. The important thing is that the two families are still brothers. It seems that the old house does not see Lin Mu's family well.Furthermore, Lin Yuying had a very good reputation in the past, and she acted like a shy girl in front of outsiders. After this incident, people only thought that Lin Yuying's previous shyness was just pretending, and some people mentioned her previous dispute with Tian Yu, and they felt that she was flirtatious. , Lin Yuying's reputation was greatly damaged for a while.

Lin Mu's family didn't pay much attention to the rumors in the village, but the old house was not peaceful. Lin Yuying didn't leave the house all day and night. She cherished her reputation more than anyone else.The next day she followed Lin Xue to the county, and decided to stay in the county for a few days until the rumors subsided a bit before returning.

Qinghe Village is backed by Dayan Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, and there are countless mountain goods in the forest. It is rumored that rare mountain goods are everywhere in the depths of the forest.A few decades ago, there was a poor family in the village. In order to see a doctor for his seriously ill mother, his son risked his life and went deep into the hinterland of the forest.Someone confirmed the rumors, but the man broke a hand, saying that the beasts there were so fierce that he almost couldn't come back.Since then, even the most powerful hunters have dared not go deep, and people usually only move around the outskirts of the mountains and forests. Even so, Dayan Mountain has also brought many gifts to the village.

This season is suitable for harvesting mountain goods. On this day, Lin Sheng and his son were preparing to go up the mountain early in the morning. Before they left the door, a group of people walked into his house.The leading son is dressed in rich clothes, with a smile on his face, and he looks romantic and affectionate. Behind him are several followers, carrying a few big boxes, and who is standing next to him who is not the spring matchmaker who came to the door that day?

It had been seven or eight days since the matchmaker came to Lin Yuying's private meeting. Lin Mu's family also thought that the matter of the Qian family had come to an end, but today this Mr. Qian actually came to the door in person, and it was so grandiose.It was when the villagers went out to work that all their comings and goings were attracted by this huge momentum.

After the spring matchmaker enthusiastically introduced both parties, Qian Mo lowered his posture, stepped forward and bowed to the couple.Lin Mu's family was full of thoughts, they were reluctant but they still led people into the house, and those few boxes were also carried into the main room.

This move caused a lot of discussion among the villagers outside the door, they were all guessing that Lin Sheng's family was about to prosper, looking at the earnestness of Mr. Qian, it seemed that he really liked Lin Mu.

"Mr. Qian, we are a rural family. It is his blessing that Mu'er is in your eyes, but our husband and wife only have this child. In the future, he will inherit the incense of my Lin family. We are absolutely unwilling to take Lin If Mu gets married, I ask Mr. Qian to forgive me."

Xu Xiuqin's words are well-founded, although his family is weak, but Dayu's court has clear principles, so his family is not afraid that there will be no way to reason.

After hearing what Qian Mo said, he still had a smile on his face, and said slowly: "I fell in love with Mr. Lin Mu at first sight in the county that day, and I found this place after many inquiries. I went to Yong’an Island for a few days and only came back yesterday. Although I’m already married, I really love Mr. Lin Mu. As evidenced by the Empress Dowager, I will definitely treat Lin Mu as a treasure in my hand, protect and love him, and ask my uncles and aunts to help me. Qian's intention."

Being proposed by such a flirtatious and wealthy son, Lin Mu had no other thoughts in his heart except how to make the other party give up.It must be true that Young Master Qian likes him at the moment, otherwise he would not need to visit the door in person, but it is just because he likes him at the moment, maybe it is no different from the person he liked with the concubine he married before, otherwise how could he come to his house What about meeting his nominal cousin in private after proposing marriage?

"Young master Qian, we are wise people who don't speak dark words. I, Lin Mu, don't know where my homeland is, and I don't know if there are relatives in the world. When I was alone and helpless, I was raised by my parents. They treated me as their own, taught me carefully, and grew up with me. Big. I once swore that no matter what happens, I will never leave them. They have regrets, and I hope I can make up for them. When they get old, they can take care of themselves. There are countless talented people in the world. Young Master Qian was born in a wealthy family , I can't climb high, so I ask Young Master Qian to be considerate of my parents and fulfill my filial piety."

Qian Mo had already found out these things, so he was not surprised when he heard it. He thought he was just a country boy with outstanding beauty, but he didn't expect to say such sincere words.Being repeatedly rejected instead aroused his desire to win. He wanted to see how stubborn this young man could be.

"Of course I will not forget the kindness of parenting. You can take care of them after you follow me. I have already bought a house nearby, just waiting for the two elders to live in. I sincerely propose to marry, and I hope to have a chance to take care of them." you."

"Young Master Qian, our identities are vastly different. This is the first. I don't want to leave my parents and inherit the incense of the Lin family. This is the second. Although my family lives in poverty, my parents love each other. I seek it wholeheartedly. This is the third. Even the first It can be made up, but if I enter the Qian family, there will be no one to inherit the incense of my Lin family, and there is no way to repay the kindness of my parents for nurturing you. You were born rich and noble, and there are many beautiful wives and concubines in your family, but I don’t want to share my love with others. You also You won't divorce your wife and concubine just because you want to bring me in, let alone find a woman for me to inherit the incense of my Lin family, right?"

After all, Lin Mu has been in school for several years, and those reasons are reasonable.

"Why do you talk to my young master? It's your blessing that our young master has a crush on you. If you are willing to condescend and come to your door, you should be honored. You still mention this and that, do you really take yourself seriously?"

Qian Mo remained silent, but his face was already displeased. Seeing this, his attendants were annoyed. This poor boy in the backcountry dared to reject his young master again and again, so he should be taught a lesson.

"Shut up." Qian Mo drank, then looked at Lin Mu and said, "You really don't want to enter my Qian's house?" His tone was very different from before, and one can imagine that a young master like him can bear By now Lin Mu was a little impressed.He was also facing Qian Mo, with neither humble nor overbearing eyes, and nodded firmly.

Seeing this, Qian Mo was very annoyed, he chuckled and said hello in a low voice, and then told the servants who came with him: "The lotus flowers in Yuanhu are blooming just right these days, I want to take Mr. Lin to enjoy them. You go please."

After speaking, he stood up and left without looking back. The servant who received the signal pulled Lin Mu up from his seat and was about to follow.

This was something Lin Mu never expected. In broad daylight, someone would take him away forcibly by relying on his family.The husband and wife were also surprised, and then realized that Lin Sheng stepped forward to pull Lin Mu back, but was blocked by two servants. Lin Sheng was so angry that he fought with them, and the scene lost control for a while.

Lin Mu was only 15 years old, and he was not very strong. He couldn't get rid of it with all his strength, and he was very anxious for a while.The onlookers were also shocked by the scene before them. They couldn't bear it and didn't dare to offend the wealthy family rashly, but at this moment a strong man rushed out of the crowd, trying to save Lin Mu who was being held up by two servants. One of them had to let go. Kai Lin Mu fought with the visitor.

"Muer, my Muer."

Xu Xiuqin, who was chasing out of the house, rushed up like an old hen, staggered the person who was pulling Lin Mu, Lin Mu broke free, and the bumped man pushed Xu Xiuqin away angrily, and Xu Xiuqin was thrown away. When she hit the ground, an exclamation came from her mouth.

Lin Mu hurriedly ran to Xu Xiuqin, but saw that her shoulder was already stained with blood. It turned out that the standing hoe hit her shoulder and was scratched right, and the hoe that was hit also fell down. It hit her on the head, and for a moment, Xu Xiuqin felt dizzy, and couldn't even care about the pain in her shoulder.

Lin Mu screamed and helped his mother up. Seeing the blood on his shoulder, he was afraid and hated at the same time. He kept calling for his mother. The surrounding villagers were frightened. Xu Xiuqin's injury looked serious. Busily ran to Liu Tang's house.A few men couldn't help but stepped forward to fight with the Qian family, and some hurried away because they saw the chaos and fear of being involved.

Qian Mo over there was also confused by the sudden situation. How could he hurt someone? Before he could figure it out, he felt a stabbing pain in his back. Also broken.He had never been treated like this before, he got up angrily, and saw the man who took Lin Mu away that day was looking at him, his eyes were ruthless that he had never seen before, and he felt that he was going to kill him in the next second Torn apart, he was so frightened that he became unstable and fell down again.

Over there Xu Xiuqin had already passed out, and Lin Mu was in a state of confusion at this moment, and the shallow medical skills he learned from Liu Tang had been forgotten, so he could only hold Xu Xiuqin's shoulder tightly with one hand.Tears had already covered his face, his chest was bloody, and he didn't recover until Ji Ruixiu called him.

Seeing his blood-stained chest, Ji Ruixiu hurriedly looked to see if there was any injury on his body, and seeing him crying like this and losing his mind so far, his heart ached.He stretched out his hand to check Xu Xiuqin's breath, but fortunately he just fainted, and he was afraid that no one would call for the doctor, so he asked his attendants to fetch Liu Tang.

The three people who were fighting in the main room were drawn out by Lin Mu's exclamation. Lin Sheng saw Xu Xiuqin lying in Lin Mu's arms, both covered in blood, unable to think for a moment, he subconsciously picked up the hunting knife standing at the door, eyes red He rushed towards Qian Mo who was being supported by his servants.

"I'll hack you to death, hack you to death." The Qian family was taken aback by this posture, and couldn't react for a while, but was stopped by the entourage of Ji Ruixiu's family in time. Lin Sheng was very strong, but the entourage had force, I couldn't break free for a while.

Here, Lin Mu also gradually calmed down under Ji Ruixiu's comfort, and Xu Xiuqin's bleeding also stopped. Seeing his father's appearance, he was afraid of causing death, so he hurriedly asked his father to carry his mother into the house.Fortunately, at this time, Liu Tang and his wife, who were called by a little radish head, also arrived in a hurry. Lin Yue was terrified by the scene in front of him, and was speechless for a while.

Liu Tang hurriedly went forward to check on Xu Xiuqin's injuries. She had already fainted but fortunately there was no danger of her life. Lin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Sheng's mind gradually cleared up. He hurriedly hugged Xu Xiuqin up. For moving.
