Chapter 151 Chapter 151 The nobleman from the capital
Xiao Lin took two steps forward at a time, disregarding the upbringing of a young master from an aristocratic family and doing something that was not in line with his status for the first time in public.
He looked Qin Run up and down and then up and down again and again, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Run's puzzled face.
Xu Yunfan was displeased with seeing her husband being stared at like that. She stepped forward and pushed Xiao Lin back a little, her tone laced with a hint of rebuke, "What are you looking at? This is my husband."
Xu Yunfan's words were like a wake-up call, bringing Xiao Lin back to his senses. He seemed to be disgusted with Qin Run. Without Xu Yunfan pushing him further, he took two steps back, as if he was getting away from something dirty. His eyes were fixed on Qin Run, "Who are you?"
This is a very rude question.
It is extremely impolite and disrespectful for a man to ask a boy, especially a married boy, his name in the street.
Qin Run wasn't feeling well, even Xu Yunfan was upset. He stood in front of Qin Run and glared at Xiao Lin. "What do you want to do? Don't think I won't hit you just because you have a few people around you. Look at my husband again, and I'll gouge your eyes out."
After being scolded, Xiao Lin realized that he had lost his composure and quickly looked away. After a while, he managed to say, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please forgive me, my husband."
Qin Run said nothing, but judging from his expression, he was not satisfied with Xiao Lin's bland apology.
"Be careful next time, otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are trying to provoke me." Xu Yunfan warned.
Xiao Lin was speechless for a moment at Xu Yunfan's inexplicable warning. Was he bored out of his mind or was he looking for trouble?
Even if he was blind and hungry, he would never choose a guy like this!
It’s not that Xiao Lin thinks Qin Run is too ugly. On the contrary, Qin Run has a good-looking appearance. It’s just that he looks too much like someone, to the point of being disgusting.
Xiao Lin didn't look at Qin Run again, fearing that if he looked at him any longer, his hands would itch and he would lose control and slap him.
Just now, he was also confused by the appearance of this person. In his unclear mind, he actually thought that this person might be the illegitimate child left by that person.
Now that I've come to my senses, I realize how confused I was. Everyone in the capital knows that the man from the Qin Mansion was stationed at the border in his early years. How could he have left behind a romantic debt in this place?
I must be overthinking it. Didn't my second uncle say that there are so many similar people in the world? The person in front of me might just happen to look similar to the man in the Qin Mansion, and also happen to be three-quarters similar to my second uncle.
Xiao Lin turned sideways, not wanting to dwell on such an unpleasant matter. The guards around him had already forcibly pulled the BMW back, so there was naturally no need to stay here for long.
"Yunfan, that man is a little strange. It seems that he hates me." Qin Run is not a dull person. On the contrary, because of his experiences over the years, he is extremely sensitive to other people's emotions and eyes.
He could see that when the other party looked at him just now, there was obvious disgust in his eyes.
But later I don’t know what the other party figured out, the look of disgust turned into indifference.
Xu Yunfan watched Xiao Lin's back as he entered the city. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before lying, "He's probably jealous that you found such a handsome husband like me."
Qin Run twitched his mouth: "..."
Did Xu Yunfan think he was a fool when he said this?
Qin Run, who picked up the reins and led the horse back, couldn't help but say, "Yun Fan, have you forgotten that you are a man, not a boy?"
Xu Yunfan pondered the words "You are a man, not a boy", but it didn't make sense to him no matter how he thought about it.
Xu Yunfan: "What do you mean by that? I'm a man, a brother, so how could I not know better than you? Can't you just accept that I'm so handsome that I can attract all kinds of men, young and old?"
"hehe……"
Qin Run laughed out loud, and the displeasure of being disliked by others was swept away. He asked, "What if a man takes a fancy to you? Aren't you afraid of being suppressed?"
“Eh~”
Xu Yunfan deliberately rubbed his arms with a chill, "Why would I look for a man when I already have you?"
Even if he were to make the mistake of looking for a man someday, he would definitely not be the one below.
Xu Yunfan touched his face, looked down at his body, then looked at Qin Run's figure with broad shoulders, long legs and narrow waist, and suddenly became quiet.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Seeing Xu Yunfan was silent, Qin Run laughed out loud, thinking that Xu Yunfan was afraid, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, you are my husband, who dares to snatch it from me, I will beat him to death."
The person next to him only stayed after he begged for a long time. Now that he had been abducted, Qin Run was afraid that he would bang his head against the wall.
Hearing this, Xu Yunfan turned his head to look at the person walking beside him and speaking so confidently to him, and his heart felt as sweet as if it were stuffed with honey.
It was so sweet that Xu Yunfan felt like bubbling.
Xu Yunfan took Qin Run's arm, rested her head on Qin Run's shoulder, and said with a sweet smile: "I'm so beautiful. If a man really takes a fancy to me one day... I'm so scared. Run'er, you have to protect me!"
The weight on his shoulder made Qin Run subconsciously tilt his head and look down. This glance almost made Qin Run indulge in Xu Yunfan's gentle and affectionate eyes.
Qin Run, who was bewitched by the beauty, said: "..."
Damn it!
This person must be a fox spirit in disguise, he is so seductive.
…
After returning to Zhou Mansion, Xiao Lin adjusted his facial expression before entering Qingzhu Courtyard.
The reason why County Magistrate Zhou arranged the distinguished guest to stay in Qingzhu Courtyard was, firstly, that the courtyard here was the best, and secondly, there were many bamboos here, hence the name Qingzhu Courtyard. The distinguished guest from the capital just happened to like bamboo.
"Second Uncle, I'm back."
As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Lin called out "Ya Ya", as if he was afraid that the people in the yard didn't know he was back.
There was a handsome man lying on a recliner in the Qingzhu Courtyard. If Xu Yunfan were here, he would probably be amazed that there was such a person in the world who could compete with him.
The man seemed to be asleep, but even so, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something, or as if he was not feeling well, and he was not at peace even in his sleep.
It was clearly a scorching sun, but the sleeping man was still covered with a snow-white fox cloak.
From this we can see that this person is most likely unwell.
Seeing Xiao Hengzhi fall asleep again, Xiao Lin paused, his face fell, and boundless sadness forced a layer of mist to form at the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Lin took a deep breath to calm down his mood and walked forward. He squatted beside the recliner and lowered his voice, "Uncle, wake up. It's too sunny outside. Let me take you inside to rest!"
My second uncle has been sleeping more and more recently. Even on the way to Qingling County, he could sleep soundly in the bumpy carriage. The doctor said that this was not a good sign for my second uncle.
Xiao Lin was very scared. He was afraid that his second uncle would just sleep like this and one day he would not be able to wake up.
"Hmm? Did I fall asleep again?" Xiao Hengzhi woke up and looked up at the sun, then turned to ask Xiao Lin: "Have you finished your business?"
"No."
Xiao Lin shook his head. "Xiao Hei got disobedient and ran away. I just went to chase him back."
"Is anyone hurt?"
"No, Uncle, don't worry."
"That's good."
Xiao Hengzhi felt relieved and closed his eyes again. His drowsy look made Xiao Lin feel overwhelmed with sadness.
"Uncle, it's too hot outside, let's go inside."
"No, it's warm in the sun, and it's too cold inside. Lin'er, go inside and let your uncle bask in the sun for a while."
Xiao Lin knelt on one knee beside Xiao Hengzhi. Seeing that Xiao Hengzhi refused to listen and was about to fall asleep again, he could only watch over him silently.
His second uncle used to be in good health. He played with cats and dogs all day long and could make his grandparents very angry. Later, he was poisoned and became the frail man he is today.
And all this is because of the Qin family.
If it weren’t for that person, why would his second uncle be in this situation?
If you can live, who would want to die?
But the reason why Xiao Hengzhi wanted to die was because he was disheartened and had no desire to survive. However, he did not want to hurt his family, and he had no intention of living, so he just lived like this day after day.
Seeing his second uncle living such a numb life, Xiao Lin hated him and even complained about him. Whenever he met someone from the Qin Mansion, he was very disrespectful to them.
He had also asked Xiao Hengzhi if he regretted it back then?
But his second uncle had no regrets and only said to him: "Some feelings are hard to turn back from the beginning, some persistence will not turn back until you hit the wall, and some things, you do even though you know it is impossible. Liking him was my mistake because I did it after I was moved by him, even though I knew it was impossible. So, in the end, I ended up in an embarrassing situation. I deserve it and can't blame anyone. What's more, he said that we are not suitable. It was I, your second uncle, who was whimsical and thought that a golden city could move gold and stone, and that my enthusiasm could move a stubborn stone. In the past, I was your second uncle who was too stupid and would not give up until I reached the Yellow River. So, to be honest, he did nothing wrong, and you should stop cursing me all day long. It's not nice to hear, and it doesn't have the etiquette and demeanor that a young master of the Xiao family should have."
Xiao Lin didn't want to hear any big truths and was still angry, but he knew that his second uncle was right.
There is no law that explicitly states that if I like you, you must like me and give me the same response.
Intellectually, Xiao Lin knew that the man from the Qin Mansion had done nothing wrong, but emotionally, he was more inclined towards his own family.
Xiao Lin was also in great pain. His respected second uncle had become like this. He had no place to vent his grief and anger, so he could only vent it on the people in the Qin Mansion.
Seeing that Xiao Hengzhi fell asleep again, Xiao Lin stayed by his master's side like a loyal dog, never leaving his side.
But as he was watching, Xiao Lin didn't even know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he found out that Xiao Hengzhi had already left.
The office of the Ban Yin, who was in charge of household registration, was not inside the yamen, but at a wooden window outside the yamen.
Xu Yunfan took Qin Run to the window and knocked twice on the stage with his fingers. The drowsy Ban Yin inside was suddenly startled and woke up instantly.
Miao Jinbao was naturally not in a good mood after being disturbed from sleeping. He asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this tone, Xu Yunfan's temper flared up, unable to contain himself. He slapped the table with his hand, his voice even louder. "What's the matter? I'm free and want to chat with you, okay? Are you confused after sleeping? I came to you not only to handle household registration, but also to catch up with you?"
"What's with your attitude? Do you know who I am? You dare to yell at me? Believe it or not, if you can get this household registration, I will take your surname." Miao Jinbao also has a bad temper. As the mayor of the district, he is used to others flattering him, so his eyes are as high as his head.
"What's my attitude? Your question is a bit funny. Your attitude determines my attitude. What do you think my attitude is?" Xu Yunfan is most annoyed by this kind of people. Isn't he just a minor official in charge of household registration? Who does he think he is? He is so arrogant that people who don't know him would think he is the emperor.
The purpose of being an official is to serve the people, not to rely on one's status to think that one is superior to others.
Xu Yunfan was not one to suffer any loss, and he added, "I don't care who you are. You should ask your mother about who you are. I'm not your mother, so how can I know what kind of person you are?"
Isn't this an indirect insult to myself?
Miao Jinbao was furious, but when it came to arguing, he was no match for Xu Yunfan. He was almost angered to death by Xu Yunfan before he could even say a few words.
He could only point at Xu Yunfan and threaten him, "You... do you still want to apply for household registration?"
It was really strange. Normally, the people who came to register their household registration would all flatter him, but this guy today...
"Oh, so this ugly guy is your husband. So you are standing up for your husband?" After Miao Jinbao threatened Xu Yunfan, he noticed Qin Run standing next to Xu Yunfan and immediately understood.
This ugly boy came here once this morning. Miao Jinbao has been in Qingling Town for so many years, but he has rarely seen such a tough-looking boy. After checking the household registration book, he found out that Qin Run was the boy from the Xiao Qin family in Dali Village that his cousin had mentioned, who was having a grudge against his cousin-in-law Li Baohe's nephew.
Since Qin Run was at odds with the Li family, Miao Jinbao didn't mind giving Li Baohe a favor and approved Qin Run's household registration application.
Unexpectedly, this ugly guy actually brought his husband with him in the afternoon.
How ridiculous! As a Ban Yin, how could he be afraid of a live-in son-in-law?
It was written in the household registration book that Xu Yunfan was an outsider, and he came from overseas. A person like him had no relatives or friends in Dali Village and no background. So what was the point of Qin Run calling him over?
Miao Jinbao was no longer afraid at this time, but half an hour later, he started crying.
