Chapter 642: The Disdained Wang Lin::><::
On the other side, a carriage carrying the Lin family’s children and two adults was swaying forward.
Wang Lin awkwardly moved his feet due to the space restrictions, and looked at everyone in the car, but no one looked at him.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to the mother and daughter who were enjoying the scenery, "The opera troupe is in the south of the city. They also perform Nuo opera. I think Qingjie has never seen it. It's a good opportunity for you to broaden your horizons."
Little Yining turned around and replied, "Second uncle, Sister Qing has seen the Nuo opera!"
Wan Niang also reminded him, "Second brother, it is better to watch Nuo opera during the Lower Yuan Festival. By then, the streets will be lively and full of laughter, and the children will not be scared when they see the Nuo opera masks for the first time."
Wang Lin nodded slightly awkwardly and praised: "Wan Niang is still thoughtful."
The mother and daughter smiled perfunctorily and continued to look at the passers-by outside.
Wang Lin had no choice but to shift his target and look at the other two people who were reading seriously - Pei Yi and Lin Yinhu.
The two studious teenagers noticed his gaze and looked back at him.
Pei Yi spoke first: "Brother Lin, don't forget to reserve a table. Sister Qing loves to eat at Huichunlou."
Wang Lin:......
The man immediately refused: "Huichunlou is a brothel, I will book a table at Chunmanlou."
As soon as he said this, everyone glanced at him strangely.
Lin Yinhu asked in confusion: "Uncle Lin, don't you also like to eat at Huichunlou? I heard from my uncle that thanks to you, the brothel has also started doing business during the day."
When Wang Lin heard this, he was surprised, but no one noticed because of his face. He coughed lightly and explained uncomfortably: "Uncle Lin is an official after all, and his words and deeds are monitored by the Censorate. It is better not to mention the ignorant things in the past."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yinhu slapped him in the face again and added another blow: "No, Uncle Lin, I heard from the Second Prince that you forced Liu Yushi to buy this feast. This is the first time that Liu Yushi has been humiliated. The emperor laughed at him for several days."
Wang Lin was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, so he could only stiffly change the subject: "How is Hu Ge'er studying in the palace now? Is the teacher's explanation understandable?"
Lin Yinhu shook his head honestly and said in distress: "Uncle Lin, I am too stupid. I don't understand most of what the teacher said. Most of what the teacher said is difficult to understand. Fortunately, the second prince explained it to me, so I understood a little. Uncle Xiao and Uncle Chengzi said that my foundation is too weak and suggested that I read "Youxue Qionglin" and "Longwen Whip Shadow" first. By the way, Uncle Lin, do you know what story these eight words "He Ning Yi Bo, Ren Jie Yao Long" tell?"
Wang Lin:......, he just didn’t know.
At this moment, a burning gaze fell on the man's face. He lowered his head and saw Wang Gungun looking at him with a smile. He pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang GunGun: (*ΦwΦ*)
The little kid patted the man's thick thigh and consoled him, "Don't worry, I'm on your side!"
Wang Lin: “…, thank you.”
Wan Niang turned around at this moment and called softly, "GongGong, come to your aunt!"
"okay."
The little boy changed his position happily without any hesitation and squeezed together with the little girl.
The two little kids' eyes met and sparks flew.
Little Yining glared at the little boy without any hesitation and complained aggrievedly: "Mom, you are squeezing Sister Qing!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Niang quickly put her daughter on her lap and settled Wang Gun Gun beside her. She motioned for them to look outside and said, "There are a lot of food shops here. When we come back, let's buy snacks for the two scholars to reward them for their hard work in studying, okay?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came out, it was immediately opposed by the two little ones.
Xiao Yining had been with the two old men for a long time and knew their temperaments very well. She said firmly, "Mom, Dad and uncle will definitely not study hard at home."
Wang Gungun pinched his fingers and said disdainfully, "Aunt, they sent us away to cause trouble. You are worried for nothing."
Wan Niang:......
The woman looked at the two kids in silence and wanted to correct them, but Wang Lin on the side had already said in a reprimanding tone, "Sister Qing, get out of here. You can't make up stories about your elders."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two kids responded in unison: "Everything I said is true."
Wang Lin: (@_@;)
Pei Yi sighed helplessly when he saw this, then raised his head from the book and sincerely suggested: "Brother Linzi, the carriage is small and crowded with so many people. Why don't you go sit with Uncle Qingsong? His place is spacious and you don't have to bend your body. You can sit comfortably."
Qingsong, who worked for the Wang family to pay off his debts, was sent out today by Wang Ersheng, whom he considered to be the boss, to work as a groom for everyone.
Wang Lin's desire to cultivate feelings was dampened by the cold. He was silent for a moment, and seeing that no one wanted to keep him, he nodded and walked out.
Qingsong outside the car glanced at him with disdain: "A grown man squeezed in with a car full of women and children, what a loser."
At the same time, the kid's grumbling voice of dissatisfaction with him was heard in the carriage.
"Uncle usually walks, or he can go out on horseback!"
Wan Niang quickly comforted them: "Okay, okay, now there is more space, please take a seat."
"It's also my fault. I didn't expect that Brother Linzi would also take a carriage. If I had known this, I would have asked A Da to drive over." This was Pei Yi's self-blaming voice.
Wan Niang tried to comfort him again: "Ayi, how can this be your fault? My second brother has been thinking differently since he came back, and it's also because my cousin's wife didn't make the arrangements well."
Lin Yinhu muttered thoughtfully, "Is it because Uncle Lin Zi thinks his face is too scary, so he wants to sit in the car?"
Wang Gungun sighed: "He is used to riding in a car!"
Listening to these remarks, Wang Lin couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and silently took out a mask from his arms to cover his shameful face.
