"This boy is so thick-skinned, I feel so ashamed." King Jiyang hummed, nodding at Xue Lin's back behind him. "Indeed, you are thicker-skinned than Dad!" Fu Mingyan crossed his arms and nodded in agreement. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. Turning around, he saw his father staring at him with an unkind expression. He quickly apologized and said, "What else do you call Rong Yu?" Well, I don’t know who chose the word, it doesn’t suit him at all.” Mingyi saw the person in front of him walking a little slower and glanced behind him, but the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Even though it was just a glance, Mingyi's heart was beating fast. This person's eyes were sharp and his ears might be sharp. He might have heard everything they said. "My father and brother should stop talking about it." "Good girl, why are you still protecting him?" "Sister, why are you still protecting him?" The tacit understanding between father and son that has lasted for many years is no joke. They spoke in unison without forgetting to accuse and look at Mingyi aggrievedly. Mingyi's forehead twitched twice, "What's wrong with just protecting him? He is my future husband, so I have to protect him. Besides, I will live with him from now on, and I think he will be fine wherever he goes." As she spoke, Mingyi secretly glanced ahead, and sure enough she saw someone's lips twitching slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to please her allies. As they spoke, they had already arrived at the flower hall where the banquet was being held. "We are all one family, so there is no need for men and women to sit at different tables." Mrs. Gao said to Xue Lin with a smile. "It's great to have fun together!" Xue Lin still looked modest, and Mrs. Gao smiled even more satisfied. King Jiyang was even more angry when he saw it. He slapped the table and said, "How can we do it with food but no wine? Go and get all the good wines I have collected. I will not get drunk with Governor Xue today!" "As he said that, Yi Lai Mingyi said, "Good girl, you can't stop me today. I am very happy to get such a good son-in-law. However, wine is like a person's character. Before you get married, I must have him. I want to check for you and take the first and second exams." As he spoke, his eyes had already glanced at Xue Lin to see if this boy was brave or not.
Mingyi opened her mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time. She had not felt her father's love for many years. Whenever she faced King Jiyang, she felt warm in her heart, but she did not dare to accept it openly. How uncomfortable would it be if he knew that his sweet girl was no longer around, but was taken over by a lonely ghost? Although it was not her wish to replace the real Fu Mingyi, the fact was that Fu Mingyi was no longer there because of her. Although she had long thought that she had a hardened heart, she did not dare to touch him easily, so she could only put aside her thoughts. How can we reject a father's love and protection for his daughter? Mingyi was silent. What was rare was that Gao didn't stop her. With a look, the servants went to get several jars of wine. On weekdays, King Jiyang treasures the collection in his wine cellar the most, but today he was willing to part with it. He opened a jar and poured two bowls, and handed one of the bowls to Xue Lin, "Come on, Governor Xue! " Xue Lin took it with both hands, saluted King Jiyang, raised the wine bowl, raised his head and drank it all, praising "good wine"! "Good drinker!" King Jiyang also praised, his expression finally softened, and he poured another bowl, "Come again!" "Dad, pour me a bowl too!" Fu Mingyan has long been coveting the wine stored in King Jiyang's collection, but he never gets to drink it on weekdays. Today he finally got the chance, and he immediately asked for it with an empty bowl. liquor. King Jiyang glanced at the flattering smile on his son's face, but for a moment he held the wine jar, and he couldn't bear to part with it. Fu Mingyan came to his ear and whispered, "Dad, I see that Xue is a drinker. Father and son are going into battle. Dad and I are of the same mind, and I can still help!" King Jiyang looked at him as if hesitating, but after a moment, he finally poured him a bowl. Fu Mingyan's eyes lit up when he looked at the wine in the bowl. He couldn't wait to raise the bowl to drink, but King Jiyang suppressed him, winked at him, and also said in a low voice, "For your sister, don't Just drink it." Fu Mingyan glanced at Xue Lin and understood. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "Admiral Xue, I respect you too. Do it first as a token of respect!" After that, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. Xue Lin picked up the wine bowl and returned the favor. He also raised his head and drank to the end. Mingyi looked at it and her forehead twitched twice, ha! man! Xue Lin respected Prince Jiyang and his son once, but Prince Jiyang and his son took turns honoring him, but he never refused anyone who came. Unfortunately, these people all drank from bowls. After a while, the jar of wine had already reached the bottom. Mingyi tugged on Gao's sleeves, but Gao shook his head gently towards her, and just smiled and said, "Don't just drink wine and eat vegetables. I can't afford these vegetables." You don’t think too much.” The men finally slowed down their speed, which was almost a drinking contest, and remembered to eat some food. I don’t know if men are easier to get close to at the wine table. Apart from drinking, they occasionally chatted. Most of the time, it was King Jiyang and Fu Mingyan who talked about it. However, Xue Lin always seemed to listen carefully and only responded from time to time. Two sentences, but after just one drink, the attitude of King Jiyang and Fu Mingyan towards him changed visibly. Gao clapped her hand and said, "Men have their own way of dealing with problems. It's best for us not to interfere." "But Dad drank a lot." Mingyi looked at King Jiyang, whose face was flushed and had already begun to talk incoherently, and felt a little worried. "Commander Xue must drink more!" Mrs. Gao responded with a smile. Mingyi heard the words and looked towards Xue Lin, only to see that he was still sitting upright, with no strange color on his face, and his eyes were clear, as if he was not drunk at all, but he was clearly not drunk at all. More than half of the jar of wine went into his belly. Is it really okay? "Don't worry! I asked the kitchen to cook sobering soup and bring it to them in a while. Let them have a bowl each. If he gets very drunk in a while, just ask someone to clean up the living room and let him rest. As I said, our family doesn't talk about that. Those stinky rules." Mrs. Gao reassured with a smile. With a sound of "Wow!", the conversation between mother and daughter was interrupted by a sudden burst of crying. The two were slightly stunned. They turned around and saw that King Jiyang was already holding Xue Lin's sleeves, and Ai Ai was crying. stand up. "My Jiaojiao... why is she getting married so soon? When she was born..." King Jiyang gestured with his hands for a long time, squinting his drunken eyes with tears, "You are only so small, how come you are getting married so soon? Are you married? It’s not that I don’t like you, I just can’t bear it... You don’t understand, you don’t have a daughter, you don’t understand..." Xue Lin was held on by him and cried, even snot was smeared on his sleeves, but his expression did not change at all. Mingyi looked at his sleeve and her forehead twitched. She was about to go over and pull her father up, but she couldn't let her hard-earned efforts be in vain again.
Unexpectedly, before taking a step, Xue Lin laughed deeply, with an unclear meaning, "If the prince is really worried, why not marry his daughter to Beiguan?" Mingyi froze and turned to look over. She couldn't believe it. Was she drunk? But it is obvious that this man is really very smart. He can even understand the private jokes of King Jiyang. "Is that okay?" King Jiyang raised his drunken eyes and looked at Xue Lin earnestly. Xue Lin raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Of course, as long as the prince wants." Mingyi looked over from here and saw the two men looking at each other silently. She actually saw some tenderness in Xue Lin's eyes. To her father? Mingyi felt cold for a moment, and a cold glare came from the other end, no doubt coming from the very keen Governor Xue. Mingyi got excited and shook her head to get rid of the weird feeling. Sure enough, any tenderness was just an illusion.
