Chapter 126 Uncertainty
After entering the city gate, Ma Chun got off the car and went to the new inn. After giving Yang Ling some advice, Lin Dong took the horse whip.
With Yang Huailiang in front of you, the carriage will travel smoothly even in the downtown city.
In the car, Tianhao Ben was a little disgusted with Yang Huailiang whipping the whip and driving the passers-by. Seeing Lin Dong silently and just driving, he struggled for a while, but still did not dare to interfere in the matter.
The wheels rolled, and when they came to a large mansion that occupied half a street in the city, Yang Huailiang stopped.
"Brother Lin, Xiao Tianhao, you can get off the bus."
Everyone got off the carriage one by one. Lin Dong looked into the five-meter-wide red painted gate. There were long queues standing on both sides, which were actually a cross-channel to welcome him.
Frowning, Lin Dong said indifferently: "Honor, the Yang family knows Tianhao's talent?"
Yang Huailiang was stunned, looked inside the door, then slapped his head, strode forward, shouting, "It's gone, it's all gone, do whatever you should do."
The authority of the head of the family was revealed in an instant, and hundreds of tribesmen and servants were in panic. After a moment, driven by the elders of several tribes, they suddenly scattered into birds and beasts.
Yang Huailiang breathed a sigh of relief, secretly annoyed in his heart, and he just showed sincerity, and actually forgot that Lin Dong didn't want Tianhao's talent to be known by too many people.
Seeing that there were only some main characters of the Yang family left in the yard, Yang Huailiang stepped forward to explain to Lin Dong: "Don't worry, brother Lin, people who know the talent of Tianhao are only some important people in the clan."
Lin Dong still frowned: "The last time I went to the inn, I was not an important figure in the Yang family."
Yang Huailiang smiled and explained: "I only realized Brother Lin's intentions after Cao Wei came back, so... I knew about Tianhao's escorts, including those who might have known, and no one of them was left except Cao Wei."
Lin Dong's eyes stagnated, and he felt secretly alert. Although there was an ancient Huanzong standing behind him and Tianhao was only suitable for winning over, he had to be careful when he came to the Yang family alone with such methods.
If I had known it, I would have let Xiao Tianchi or the great elder Huo Yuan travel together. With their strength, I could also ensure that I and Tianhao would protect themselves in the Yang family.
Since he came, there was no reason to retreat. Lin Dong stepped into the gate and Tianhao followed immediately.
"Lin Dong, you haven't seen each other for a few years, but you have changed a lot." A young man in a 24 or 25-year-old in a blue gown greeted him and smiled: "Whether it is temperament or style, it can only be looked up to you."
"Young Master Yang is too awarded." Lin Dong replied without hesitation, this person is the fifth young master of the Yang family and Yang Chi, the heir of the Yang family.
After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Yang Chi was not as arrogant and domineering as he was when he was young. He had a faint demeanor of a family heir. He not only did not have any anger when he heard this, but the kind smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
Soon, the eldest wife of the Yang family, Peng Zhenfeng, stepped forward and smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Can't you still be calculating about Chi'er's previous unhappiness, right?"
"No, I forgot it, it wasn't mentioned by Mrs. Yang." Lin Dong said with a haha.
Peng Zhenfeng's face froze. The soft nail touched her, and she didn't know how to answer the conversation. Fortunately, several elders of the Yang family came forward to make things polite and accidentally relieved her embarrassment.
Then, the other wives stepped forward one by one. Later, the nine remaining young masters of the Yang family arranged according to their size, brewing smiles, and preparing to follow.
After some politeness, under the guidance of Yang Huailiang, the group walked through the front yard, passed the small garden and some courtyards of the Yang family, and came to the main hall at the end.
There are four large round tables in the hall, and Yang Huailiang leads Lin Dong straight to the top of the innermost table.
Lin Dong was not polite, and sat steadily in this most prominent and respectful position.
"Give me orders and serve wine and food!"
Yang Huailiang waved his hand, and several young masters who were by the door trotted and went to arrange wine and food in person.
Soon, the dish plate came like a group of butterflies, and was placed on the round table in a row.
The rare beasts are full of wine and food, and each plate is of extraordinary value.
He personally poured Lin Dong a glass of wine. Yang Huailiang was holding the wine pot and was about to reach out to Tianhao, but Lin Dong stopped him with a smile: "Head of the family, I'm a child, so don't drink."
"No wonder Tianhao listened to you so much. The strict father gave birth to a filial son. This is indeed good." Yang Huailiang smiled and held it a few words, moving the wine pot to the wine glass in front of him.
After pouring the wine, Yang Huailiang just picked up the wine glass. Lin Dong had already stood up and looked at Yang Ling with the wine glass: "Young master, Lin Dong will borrow flowers to offer Buddha for this first cup. Let's pay tribute to you first."
Yang Ling quickly stood up, raised his glass and said, "You are now a distinguished guest of our Yang family, so I should respect you."
Lin Dong shook his head, drank the wine in the glass, and then shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the care of the young master, there would be Lin Dong today, so I'm honored to do it first."
This behavior not only distracts the people from the crowd, but also has no rules. In an instant, all eyes were focused on the faces of Yang Chi and Peng Zhenfeng, with different expressions.
In terms of status, Yang Huailiang's authority in the Yang family is unquestionable. Secondly, it is the same strong Peng Zhenfeng and his son. Although Lin Dong's overwhelming appearance stripped Yang Huailiang of his face, his identity was there, and if he stripped him, he would strip him.
The one with the greatest influence is undoubtedly Peng Zhenfeng and his son.
Although Yang Chi is the heir of the family, he is not the eldest son of the legitimate son. Peng Zhenfeng's title of eldest wife was just robbed by her parents' backer.
Now, Yang Ling’s backer is not small. After a while, the Peng family can’t even look up to him. It is probably hard to say that the position of the family heir is.
Because of Lin Dong's attitude towards Yang Ling, although Peng Zhenfeng and his son felt stormy waves in their hearts, their faces were turbulent. The two of them picked up their wine glasses and looked at Yang Huailiang.
Pour Lin Dong's wine glass, Yang Huailiang nodded and smiled at Yang Ling, raising his glass and said, "Brother Lin, I have to toast you this cup."
"I dare not, I must respect the head of the family." Lin Dong suddenly gave Yang Huailiang enough face this time. He was polite and did it first.
Afterwards, Peng Zhenfeng and his son stood up to toast, Lin Dong replied one by one, and everyone came back was rejected. For a moment, the guests and hosts were happy, which was also very lively. However, no one noticed that as long as it was the dishes that Tianhao had eaten, Lin Dong would never touch the chopsticks.
There was a banquet from noon to evening. When Yang Huailiang ordered the arrangement of the guest room, Lin Dong shook his head and refused.
"Master, I'd better go to the new inn first! Since I'm here in Qiufeng City, there's no reason why I don't even go to see my own industry?" Lin Dong smiled and said, "If the head of the family doesn't mind that we are both father and son, as long as the wine and food are home-cooked side dishes, we can come and have a meal every day."
"Brother Lin is indeed a good skill. In a few years, Linji Inn may have to drive to Lingnan County and the capital." Yang Huailiang was very satisfied with this salute today, so he did not force himself to stay. The way to move forward gradually is the king.
Take out two wooden boxes with gems inlaid from the storage spirit ring, Yang Huailiang smiled and stuffed them into Tianhao's hand, and then looked at Lin Dong: "Xiao Tianhao came to the Yang family for the first time, and he was not prepared. Fortunately, he accidentally bought a few unknown strange fruits a few days ago. After taking them, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. At that time, he didn't know the value of this strange fruit, but he only knew that he had to take them within half a month, otherwise they would dry up and rot, so there were only two left, so I gave them a gift to Tianhao!"
Lin Dong's heart moved, the spiritual fruit that helped him practice was of extraordinary value, and he immediately said, "Tianhao, why don't you thank the head of the family quickly?"
"Thank you, the head of the family!" Tian Hao nodded and thanked him.
Yang Ling and others didn't know the origin of the spiritual fruit in the box, so they didn't realize it. Peng Zhenfeng and his son and several elders of the Yang family showed reluctance, giving away two of them at one time, which was the output of more than ten years.
(Thanks to Tianyi for his reward, o(n_n)o~…)
