Huh? One hand.
Qing Tang opened his eyes, staring blankly at the man lying beside him, and subconsciously called out, "Young Master..."
"Hmm." There was a hint of laziness in Lin Su's voice, the laziness of a satisfied beast.
Qing Tang's ears twitched, and scattered images flashed through his mind. He moved his head and found that he was actually lying on the young master's arms: "We...you, young master, aren't you inhumane?!"
Lin Su raised his eyebrows: "When did I say I can't be humane?"
Qing Tang was confused: "Didn't you say you have...a hidden illness?"
"I remember what I said originally: I have a hidden disease that prevents me from having sex with women, but it's fine with men." Lin Su said innocently, "Xiao Qing Tang, listen carefully to me next time, or you'll only have yourself to blame if you regret it."
Qing Tang didn't regret it. He just felt that his seemingly elegant young master seemed to be doing it on purpose: "You said before that you can't trust everything you say. Isn't it prepared for this moment?"
"Xiao Qingtang is really smart and his mind works very quickly." Lin Su praised with a smile.
Qing Tang slapped his chest angrily: "You, how could you do this?!"
Lin Su held his hand and said directly: "I was wrong. Be careful not to hurt your hand if you hit me so hard."
Qing Tang was furious but couldn't vent his anger. He even forced himself to swallow his pride and said, "Then why didn't the young master explain when I misunderstood you before? I suffered such a long time in vain."
He spoke softly, without any trace of the anger he had before.
Lin Su held him in his arms, patted his back and said, "I don't care if others misunderstand me and want to stay away from me, young master. As long as you don't despise me, Xiao Qing Tang, that's all that matters."
"How could Qing Tang dislike the young master?" Qing Tang whispered in his arms, "It's just that Qing Tang is the kind of person who pushes things further. In the past, I thought being with you was good enough, and I could even watch you get married and have children. But now, if you want to get married and have children, it's impossible. If that day ever comes..."
He paused for a moment, then looked up at Lin Su's encouraging eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "If that day comes, I will definitely die with you."
"It's impossible to perish together." Lin Su lifted his chin and chuckled, "It's possible to push for more. Yesterday it was just twice, today he might want it three times, and tomorrow maybe four times. Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, fifty..."
"Master!!!" Qing Tang immediately sat up and hit him, truly furious. "That's not how you push things!"
This person is really bad.
When the two got up, the sun was already high above their heads. Qing Tang then realized that Lin Su had asked for a day off when he left work yesterday.
You say he's anxious, but it's clear that he's been prepared for this.
"Are you angry? Don't be angry. After the palace examination results are announced in a few days, how about I take you to ride horses outside the city?" Lin Su coaxed.
Riding and archery is one of the six arts of a gentleman. Lin Su is an excellent horse rider, but Qing Tang suffered the same Waterloo here as in painting.
Although he looks soft on the outside, he is actually a person who never gives up. His painting skills are now three times as good as Lin Su's. He can even show his works to scholars for appreciation. Naturally, he will not give up just because he cannot learn to ride a horse.
"Okay." Qing Tang became happy.
Learning horse riding in the city is inconvenient and cannot compare to the spacious suburbs. If one day I can ride side by side with the young master, it would be really wonderful.
The imperial examination was held every three years in spring. Before the results of the palace examination were announced, the people from the Lin family's old house had already entered the capital. Lin Su brought people to pick them up. Ten miles away from the city gate, he really acted like a filial son. No one could say anything.
Father Lin got off the carriage and almost didn't recognize Lin Su when he saw him. In his impression, his son was taciturn and had a very eccentric personality. Later, he didn't know how he became sharp-tongued. Even though he became the top scorer in the imperial examination, Father Lin always felt that it might be just bad luck.
Now, if he saw him on the street, he really wouldn't dare to recognize such a handsome and modest man as his son: "You have changed a lot now."
"It's because Your Majesty has made proper arrangements and colleagues have influenced each other." Lin Su said with a smile.
The second wife also got out of the car, and when she saw Lin Su, she felt the same as Lin's father: "Zhiyuan is now obviously a high-ranking official."
"Mother, please be careful with your words. There are many officials in the capital, and many of them are better than Zhiyuan. Even if you don't consider Zhiyuan, you should at least consider Wang'er. If you create resentment before you pass the imperial examination, you will suffer in the future." Lin Su reminded with a smile.
Lin Wang, the son of the second wife, is only fifteen years old this year. He has not even passed the provincial examination, so how can he talk about becoming a Jinshi? Although she knows that Lin Su's property will be inherited by her son in the future, she can't help but want to mock him when she sees him out of habit.
"Brother." Lin Wang looked quite decent, and there was nothing wrong with his gesture of greeting. His attitude seemed much more sober than that of his second wife.
Lin Su nodded and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please ask father to go home and settle down before we talk."
The group boarded the carriage, and when they arrived at the Lin family residence, Qing Tang came out to greet them: "Young Master is back."
The second wife got out of the car. She had never seen Qi Qingyi before, so she said with a polite smile: "Zhiyuan, which official's son is this? He is really handsome."
Father Lin had met Qi Qingyi by chance. Seeing how intimate they were, not shying away from others, he wanted to say something, but then he remembered his son's health and could only say solemnly, "What young master? This is someone from Zhiyuan Courtyard."
"Greetings, Master and Madam." Qing Tang took a deep breath and bowed politely, without any hesitation or arrogance. "My name is Qing Tang, and I now take the young master's surname, Lin Qing Tang."
The second wife understood what Master Lin meant. Her expression changed and she coughed, saying, "So it's just a servant. What do you mean by 'you' and 'mine'? You're nothing..."
Her eyes met Lin Su's, and she swallowed the words in her throat instantly.
The group entered the Lin family mansion. The five-story courtyard was truly spacious. The second wife entered the inner courtyard. Tea and food were already prepared. Qing Tang said with a smile, "Master and Madam, you must be tired from the journey. Please wash up and have dinner."
The second wife had just received Lin Su's cold stare, so she didn't dare to say anything to Lin Su. She only turned to Qing Tang and said, "How dare you, a servant, interfere in the affairs of the master's family?"
Qing Tang tightened her fingers and was about to speak when Lin Su pressed her shoulders and said coldly, "Mother is so powerful now."
The smile on his face outside the door had completely disappeared. The look in his eyes made his step-wife feel cold on the back. He said unconfidently, "What I said is not wrong..."
"Mother is wrong. Qing Tang is in charge of the affairs of this family, not as a manager, but as the mistress of the household." Lin Su said frankly, "Although she has no official status now, she is Zhiyuan's wife in his heart. When Zhiyuan achieves more achievements in the future, I will ask His Majesty to grant her marriage to me. I hope mother knows this."
