Chapter 21

The lingering music sounded in the theater...

Next, the lights in the hall were turned on, and the screen gradually dimmed.

Hui Yimei finally came back to her senses.

—The movie is over.

Xiaohong stood up and reached out to pull down the light switch.

The box also became brighter.

Ai Chengxuan was sitting sideways, looking at her sitting on the other side of the sofa with a smile.

Hui Yimei sat blankly for a few seconds, tried her best to ignore his gaze, stood up and said, "... let's go!"

Ai Chengxuan said, "When I came here, I saw a western restaurant nearby, shall we go for dessert?"

Hui Yi's eyebrows were silent for a moment, and she said, "Okay".

The two walked in front, and Xiaohong followed behind.

The three walked out of the theater two in front and one behind, and walked slowly along the street towards the western restaurant on the street.

Lin Yuexian leaned in the alley next to the theater, looking thoughtfully at the backs of the three people going away.

Just now he had sent someone to Hui's house to check. This man in a white suit surnamed Ai was said to be a distinguished guest brought back from Beiping yesterday by Brother Hui!

Lin Yuexian narrowed his eyes.

... The honored guest of Second Brother Hui, whose surname is Ai?

It is said that the royal family of the previous dynasty was named Ai Xinjueluo, except for Princess Gulun who was sent overseas by Prince Zhuang early; A descendant of Princess Lun?

Just when Lin Yuexian was lost in thought, a familiar female voice sounded.

"...No! Only you can help me with this matter! Xiao Ming, have you forgotten that when you were living on the street, I took you in and asked Zichang to send you to school... If it wasn't for me, Without Zichang, now you can sit comfortably in the newspaper office as an editor? Besides, is my request really so excessive? Does it make you feel unconscionable?"

Lin Yuexian was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized that this woman was Bai Yingying!

"Sister Yingying, don't even think about it... The Hui family is something I can afford! Hui Er is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice! If he finds out... I will push the waves and help the troubles. Get up, as long as he sticks out his little little finger, he can crush me to death... and it's as easy as crushing an ant!"

The man said hastily, "Also, you said that you want to unite advanced intellectuals and talented young people from all over the country to pen the Huilin family's arranged marriage... How is this possible? Are you thinking too simply? Brother Lin is not the only one who is talented in country Z... He Huisan is a professor at Peking University! Over the years, how many students he has taught... Those people just look at Huisan's face and don't care about it. I will agree to the punishment!"

"Xiao Ming! It's a new society now, and it's impossible to have such a single-handed political party and individual! Besides, if Zichang really married that woman, what should I do? You don't know... the Hui family That woman kept saying that she wanted to drive me away, and that my child would never be recognized by the Lin family again! Xiao Ming, if you don't even help me, then I really have nothing to do... I, I will take me The children of my mother are going to die! And you are also one of the murderers who forced our mother and child to death!"

"Hey! Sister Yingying, don't be like this! You can think of a way with Brother Lin!" Xiao Ming persuaded.

There was a soft sobbing sound.

After a long while, Bai Yingying cried, "Okay, I won't burden you... Well, I will write the letter myself, and I will hand it over to you after I finish writing it... At that time, please follow the address on the envelope and help me put these Letters are sent out..."

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, and persuaded, "Sister Yingying, why are you doing this..."

But Bai Yingying said firmly, "I don't believe it anymore! The heaven and the earth are clear, so there is no place for me to redress my grievances?"

Xiao Ming sighed, and said helplessly, "Okay! Okay, okay..."

Sensing that the two of them were about to walk out of the alley, Lin Yuexian turned his body sideways calmly, took out a note from his coat pocket, and motioned for the boy selling cigarettes to come over.

The two boys walked over quickly, because Lin Yuexian was standing against the wall, so the two boys had to stand on his right side, that is, the side next to the street.

Lin Yuexian squatted down and checked the cigarettes in the small wooden box that the boy was hanging around his neck.

Soon, the sound of fine footsteps sounded.

A woman with permed hair and wearing a cheongsam hurried out of the alley.

Lin Yuexian stood up and looked at the man's back.

...It really was Bai Yingying.

There was a little sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Randomly took a pack of cigarettes, Lin Yuexian handed the banknotes in his hand to the boy selling cigarettes, and said "don't need to look for it"; then, he turned his head and glanced into the depths of the alley, thought for a moment, and went back to He fumbled two copper coins in his pocket and handed them to another boy who watched helplessly as his companion sold the cigarettes.

"You quietly follow that young uncle in a white shirt and glasses to see where he goes... These two copper coins are for you, if you can still find out his name... then I will give you three more copper coins." Lin Yuexian said to Xiao Tong.

The little boy nodded desperately.

After receiving the two copper coins, the little boy ran away.

Lin Yuexian opened a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and lit it with a lighter.

After a while, the little boy came back panting, "Sir! Sir... that one walked into the distribution department of Kyushu Newspaper in our county... I went to ask, he is the distribution editor of Kyushu Daily, his name is Zhang Xiaoming... ..."

Lin Yuexian smiled slightly, took a puff of a cigarette, took out a few copper coins and handed them to the boy.

The little boy was so happy that he held the copper coins tightly, said "thank you", turned around and ran away.

… United with literati from all over the country to write about the arranged marriage of the Huilin family?

Lin Yuexian laughed.

Bai Yingying has grown a pig's brain!
He walked out of the alley and was going to inspect the Lin family property in the county seat.

But he saw it again...

Miss Hui and the young and handsome Mr. Ai came out of the western restaurant.

She was elegant and dignified, with a calm and calm expression, let Mr. Ai open the rear door of the car for her, and then sat in the seat generously; after Mr. Ai closed the door for her, he went around On the other side of the car, got into the car and sat beside her.

Lin Yuexian watched Hui's car slowly passing by in front of him.

The smile on his face solidified.

Although it is a new era now, equality between men and women is still only on paper... But Ms. Hui, who has a very strict family education, went out shopping, watching movies and eating western food with a young man. This in itself is a provocation to the Lin family's inaction .

It's ridiculous that grandma thought that as long as she can control Miss Hui, she can control the entire Hui family!

He could vaguely feel that the Second Household and his grandmother were conspiring to marry Miss Hui over by force in the name of Lin Yuehong, and that Miss Hui and Lin Yuean would consummate the marriage on the night of the bridal chamber...

Anyway, as long as Ms. Hui became a woman of the Lin family, it would be fine. As for whether she married Lin Yuehong or Lin Yuean, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Lin probably didn't care too much; but Bai Yingying and Lin Yuehong were kept in the dark.

Lin Yuehong was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper. As long as his family gave him enough money and good living conditions to allow him to write poems and articles with peace of mind, he could not care about anything; from the time he brought Bai Yingying back to the Lin family Looking at it, Lin Yuexian could feel that Lin Yuehong's attitude towards Bai Yingying was actually... not very caring, but Bai Yingying was too good at making money, and she carried her son all day long to greet Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Lin. Of the women who have seen the continuation of their blood, how many of them don't like it?After all this, Bai Yingying has gained a firm foothold in the Lin family!
It's just that Bai Yingying probably doesn't know what Yan's and Mrs. Lin's plan is, so she...

She wants to unite literati from all over the country to pen the Huilin family's arranged marriage?
Lin Yuexian couldn't help but laughed again.

But his smile froze again.

If... the marriage of the Huilin family is imperative, then why can't Miss Hui marry herself?
He calculated in his mind.

Hui Er can climb to the current seat, he can't be a fool.Miss Hui and Mr. Ai are so close...but one of them is the former prime minister and the descendant of the emperor's tutor; It has been less than three years since the president came to power. After all, the foundation is not stable. How could a marriage combination like Hui Ai be tolerated?

Then, why did Ms. Hui openly go shopping with Mr. Ai and watch movies?
Lin Yuexian believes that a person who does not pay attention to the situation of the country is definitely not a good businessman, so he understood it after a little thought.

A new round of parliamentary elections is about to begin, and during the political reform, in order to appease the nobles of the old dynasty, the then president gave these nobles the qualifications and voting rights of members of parliament.

That is to say, if Hui Er wants to win the parliamentary election, the votes in the hands of these nobles of the old dynasty will become very precious; and in the hearts of the nobles of the old dynasty, they are somewhat attached to the glory of the Ai family Well, if Hui Er's younger sister walks with Ai's descendants... Even if these people look at Mr. Ai's face, they will vote for Hui Er.

Therefore, Lin Yuexian can be sure that the Hui family has conservative elements like Hui's mother and speculators like Hui Er...Miss Hui's situation may not be very good.

In his mind, a pretty but dignified figure suddenly appeared.

It's strange to say that he has only met her a few times, but for some reason, her calm and calm appearance seems to have been firmly engraved in his heart...

Although he didn't know her at all, he just knew that she must be a sensitive, intelligent and calm woman.

But if the Huilin family's marriage is inevitable, why can't she marry him?

Lin Yuexian narrowed his eyes and began to calculate again.

The car drove Hui Yimei and Chengxuan to Hui's house in Chuyun Town.

Chengxuan complained, "...It's fine if the steak doesn't taste good, why should the spaghetti be boiled vermicelli mixed with tomato sauce? If the Italian chefs find out, they will definitely come to them to settle their accounts!"

Hui Yi couldn't hold back her eyebrows, and burst out laughing.

After getting along for half a day, she has come to understand that Chengxuan is not the aloof and indifferent appearance she saw before, or in other words, it is just a mature appearance he pretended to be; but in fact, he is lively, Sunny, talkative and laughing child who hasn't grown up yet.

"This is a small county, so there's nothing you can do if things don't suit your taste," she comforted him, "but since you're here, why don't you try more of our snacks and specialties... In the future, if you go back, I'm afraid No steak? But these snacks, I'm afraid you won't come to Chuyun Town again..."

Chengxuan glanced at her and asked, "What about you? I heard that you haven't finished your studies yet. Will you go back to England?"

Hui Yi's eyebrows froze.

Chengxuan is a stranger to her; and she has no habit of discussing her thoughts with strangers.

"...in a few days, my mother will have her birthday," she changed the subject and said with a smile, "then you will be able to experience the feast of the hundred men..."

Sure enough, Chengxuan's attention was diverted, and he asked curiously, "Hundred Men's Banquet? What is that?"

Hui Yimei smiled and said, "I haven't experienced it, I just heard it... At that time, the family will invite the neighbors, especially the elderly neighbors, to come to the house as guests, and set up more than a dozen tables of flowing water... There will be a troupe coming to add to the fun..."
