Chapter 7, Ling's Big Room Second Room

Ling Xiaolou stood outside the reception hall of the Ling family and saw that there were already many people in the hall. He laughed at himself. Maybe these people are happy at this time? They finally saw that he, the son of the Ling family, was unlucky.

Self-deprecating made him feel better. No matter how dangerous the situation he is about to face, he must face it calmly. He calmed down and walked slowly into the hall.

The reception hall of the Ling family is magnificent. Bluestone mixed with glutinous rice pulp forms the main structure, decorated with various precious stones and wood.

The conference living room, which is ten meters high and covers an area of 300 square meters, looks very dull at this moment. There are two people, a man and a woman, sitting at the top of the middle of the conference living room. On the left sat a woman in her forties, who was his nominal mistress, the contemporary patriarch of the Ling family, and his cheap father's wife, Zhang.

His cheap master and mother sat in the first place without saying a word and closed her eyes slightly. When he was about to come to the front, she suddenly opened her eyes and did not arrogant herself.

On the right side of the first place is a middle-aged man, dressed in a green robe and an official uniform, with a vivid picture on his chest. He should be the county magistrate of Renhuai County.

Tables and chairs are neatly placed on both sides of the reception hall, facing each other. At this time, only a 30-year-old beautiful woman sat on a chair that could seat more than 30 people. Several maidservitoes next to them were giving them sweet tea and fruit points.

Seeing the exquisite pastry, Ling Xiaolou's stomach grunted, and he hadn't had breakfast yet.

After calming down and looking at the noble and extraordinary Zhang family with their buns lined up high, Ling Xiaolou suddenly showed a warm and sincere smile and said, "See you, Lord Godmother!"

The law of the Sun and Moon Empire is strict, and there is a provision that all children born to concubines must be raised by the mistress, that is to say, the mistress is his legal mother.

"Hmm." Zhang nodded slightly, took a deep look at him, and immediately motioned him to salute the county beside him.

"I have met the lord of Zhixian!" Ling Xiaolou smiled and bowed to the middle-aged man on the right. When he was about to kneel down, he heard a majestic voice that made people feel like a spring breeze: "Four young master, you don't have to be polite. I heard that you have applied for the county examination in February next year, and you are also a successful person. Benzhi County has always respected such young people, so there is no need to... kneel down."

Any person who has no reputation is called a commoner. When he sees an official, he has to kneel down to salute. However, if the county magistrates is so face-to-face, he will naturally go downhill and make a donkey look. It's not wrong to let him kneel down. He won't do anything that is not good.

Lingxiaolou ranks fourth in the Ling family. Zhang has two parents and a daughter, and the second wife Xiao also has a son and a daughter. In the Sun and Moon Empire, women are going to get married and do not participate in the ranking. Only men are qualified to be ranked.

"Song Zhixian is really joking. This little beast dares to kill people. What kind of scholar is he? Scholars know shame, abide by the law, and will not do obscene things. But this little beast dares to kill people. Such a villain really stains the reputation of scholars.

A sharp and mean voice sounded in the hall, and Ling Xiaolou knew that this was what Xiao, the beautiful woman sitting at the head, said without turning around.

His father, the right servant of the household today, has one wife and two concubines. Among them, Zhang is the wife being married by the Ming media, while Xiao is a concubine who has received gifts, which is regarded as the second wife. Only his mother was unclear. Although she gave birth to him, no one in the house recognized his mother's status as the third wife.

Xiao's family is a businessman, rich and powerful, and acts arrogantly and domineeringly in the house, which is annoying. However, she is rich and treats her subordinates generously, so she has a good position in the house, and even Zhang, the eldest son, has to give her some face. He is a discredited person.

"Mother is right! We must not let this kind of murderer and set fire to be comparable to a decent scholar like us. This is an insult to us.

If Ling Xiaolou turns his head at this time, he will see a white and fat teenager, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who looks a little like him, but the teenager's eyes are particularly small and looks quite funny.

This teenager is his nominal third brother. Yes, it can only be nominal, and there is no trace of family affection, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.

"Mrs. Xiao is right. The murderer is not qualified to call himself a scholar, which is very agreeable by my county." Song Zhixian shook his head slightly with a kind smile on his face and said, "But it is not certain that Si Shao is a murderer, so this Zhixian should not let him kneel down."

Ling Xiaolou's heart was slightly shocked and looked deeply at the county magistrate surnamed Song. It seems that Song Zhixian is 50 years old, his temples are white, his eyes are slightly turbid, and the vertical wrinkles on his face make him look like a bad old man.

But what he said just now made Ling Xiaolou have a deep guard against him, which is an extremely difficult person to deal with.

Although he didn't say much just now, his words clearly showed two layers of meaning. One is that I respect your Ling family very much, and I'm not here to make trouble; the second one is that I am also the magistrate of Renhuai County after all. He is the only one who is innocent and who is guilty is qualified to judge, and others are not cool and play with mud.

At the same time, Ling Xiaolou also felt a trace of sadness in his heart. When he had a big deal, it was not his family who excused him, but an outsider. Although he knew that Song Zhixian's motives were not pure, he was still a little grateful for using him as a gun.

"Look at him like a murderer! Song Zhixian must not let go of such a evil man!" Xiao was obviously dissatisfied with Song Zhixian's shielding Lingxiao Tower and shouted, "Our Ling family is the hope of Datong Mansion. In Jinxi, there are all the top ranks. The family has a big career, and it is inevitable that there will be one or two unscscall children. Song Zhixian, you can rest assured that our Ling family will not condone such children. You can do whatever you want to do. We have nothing to say!"

"It's a pity... It's a pity that I, Ling Sifan, want to be a brother with such a person, which is really hard to let go!" The white and fat teenager looked helpless, stared at Lingxiaolou with hatred, and said strangely, "Such a scum must not have a good end."

"You... shut up!" Ling Xiaolou could bear the harsh words to Xiao's mother and son, just as if they farted, but his mother Zheng couldn't.

Since Ling Xiaolou entered the hall, Xiao and his son have been sarcastically. Ling Xiaolou doesn't care about anything, but it doesn't mean that his mother Zheng doesn't care. In her eyes, her second son is the best. How can she tolerate others to insult him?

Ling Xiaolou slowly turned around and first comforted his mother a few words, which calmed her excited mother down. Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Xiao, who was dressed luxuriously and dressed in gold and silver.
