Chapter 44

Lv He's words were heard by Uncle Fu who walked over, and he couldn't help but advise Lin Fan.

Because Lin Hai had just died, the Lin Fu was not suitable for a wedding, so Uncle Fu proposed that Lin Fan marry a wife and have children three months later to inherit the incense.

"Uncle Fu, don't use these old-fashioned ideas. Marrying a wife and having children, establishing a family and career? Do you expect me to hold a martial arts competition for marriage or a concubine selection conference?"

"Young Master, be careful with your words. Concubine selection cannot be said randomly!" Uncle Fu said worriedly.

Although the Jianghu is powerful now, the strength of the imperial court cannot be underestimated.

Things like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Six Sects, the East Depot, the West Depot, the Bad People, the Water-Flicking Room, the Net, and the Spider Web, various intelligence organizations emerge one after another and are impossible to guard against.

Lin Fan's behavior of not observing mourning for Lin Hai is common in the eyes of Jianghu children, but in the eyes of the scholar-officials of the imperial court, this is a performance of being rebellious and unfilial.

If someone knows about it and reports it, maybe the imperial court will take Lin Fan as a target to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, achieving the purpose of deterring the Jianghu.

"Humph, the mere Song Dynasty is not worth me being afraid of!"

Suzhou City belongs to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has a developed economy, but its military strength is very poor, and there are no famous experts. Maybe Huang Shang and the Sunflower Ancestor are at the peak of Grandmaster or even Heaven-Man Unity, but Lin Fan is not afraid.

"Uncle Fu, you used to often follow my father to talk about business. Now that my father is gone, you will take over the business of the cloth shop in the future. If you need to go far to purchase raw materials or talk about business, remember to bring the guards in the residence!"

"Young Master, what do you mean by this? The Lin family's business must be taken over by you. How can I do it?"

Uncle Fu waved his hands repeatedly. How could he take over the Lin family's business?

"Uncle Fu, I am still young and my ambition is not here. I am preparing to travel the Jianghu soon. Only by handing the Lin Fu to you can I rest assured!"

"The Landlord and Landlady are in the residence. If there is anything, please ask them for help. I hope you won't let me down!"

Lin Fan looked at Uncle Fu seriously, hoping he could agree.

"Since this is the case, Young Master, rest assured. I will definitely not live up to the Young Master's trust and lose the face of the Lin Fu!"

A scholar dies for his confidant. The Young Master trusts himself so much, Uncle Fu secretly made up his mind that he must make the Lin Cloth Shop bigger and stronger and create brilliance again!

"The Lin family's business is just a thought. For me, wealth is easy to obtain, so Uncle Fu shouldn't put too much pressure on himself!"

Lin Fan exhorted Uncle Fu, and Uncle Fu also nodded to show he understood.

However, the next second Uncle Fu said goodbye and left to get busy with business.

Forget it, Lin Fan told Uncle Fu in vain not to have pressure. Uncle Fu still went his own way.

"Lin Fan, hurry up and eat. It's almost cold!" Huang Rong saw Uncle Fu leave and couldn't help but say to Lin Fan with resentment.

"It's delicious even if it's cold. I'll eat whatever Rong'er makes, even if it's spoiled!" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Pah, oily-mouthed and slippery-tongued, you only know how to coax me!" Huang Rong was beaming with joy, but couldn't help but be proud.

"Hmm, eating alone is not fun. Girls, go and perform a set for this young master to see!"

Lv He was the most obedient. Hearing this, she picked up her beloved Qingping Sword and performed a set of sword techniques for Lin Fan.

The sword technique was not very good, but the person dancing with the sword was beautiful. Just treat it as a sword dance, it can also be said to be pleasing to the eye.

"Good, Lv He's sword dance is very beautiful, I am very comforted!" Lin Fan applauded to give face.

Then Huang Rong was not to be outdone and performed a set of Falling Flower Divine Sword Palms.

Her palms were as sharp as swords, and the moves were complicated and fantastic. Her arms swung, and there were palm shadows in all directions, sometimes five virtual and one real, sometimes eight virtual and one real. It was really like a sudden wind in a peach forest, with ten thousand flowers falling together, coupled with the peerless beauty Huang Rong, it was really beautiful.

Lin Fan also couldn't help but applaud. Not to mention Huang Laoxie's personality, his martial arts attainments were really not low. He was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the five elements and eight trigrams. The martial arts he created were not only of high grade, but also very beautiful in posture. Lin Fan also admired him very much.

"Zhu Abi and I won't make a fool of ourselves with our cat-and-three-legged kung fu. We will play a song together to add to the fun for the Young Master!" Azhu said with a smile.

Then the two women took out their musical instruments and played a song of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' for Lin Fan.

"Good! Wonderful! This kind of life, even if given an immortal, I wouldn't change it!"

"Young Master, the clothes you asked the cloth shop to make have been made and sent over!"

A maid brought four sets of clothes to report to Lin Fan.

"Oh? Bring them over. Rong'er, you guys change into them and let me see!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the four women with expectation.

The women nodded, took their own clothes, and returned to their rooms to change.

After a while, the four of them walked out wearing silk and satin made of Shu brocade of different colors. For a moment, the whole backyard was like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty, making Lin Fan stare without blinking.

"Lin Fan, who do you think is better looking among us?" Huang Rong smiled playfully and then asked Lin Fan.

"All are beautiful. Your beauty has its own characteristics, and it is not easy to compare. But thinking that you are all my people, this young master is very proud!"

Why do women in ancient times also like to ask this kind of life-and-death question? Lin Fan naturally couldn't answer and quickly changed the subject.

"Pah, who is your person? I am a cook, and a cook who is here to supervise you!" Huang Rong said proudly.

"I am the Young Master's person, for a lifetime!" Lv He said seriously.

Azhu and Zhu Abi were a bit shy and didn't speak, but they didn't deny it, which was the default.

After all, yesterday Azhu was willing to be a slave and maid and offer herself for her sister Azi, and Zhu Abi also agreed for Azhu's sake, so they could also be considered Lin Fan's people.

"You are all mine, and none of you can escape. Now that things at home have been arranged, Lv He, go prepare things. Tomorrow we will set off to ride the Jianghu and settle grievances!"

"Young Master, is it so urgent? Where are we going first?" Lv He asked curiously.

"Go to Mantuo Shanzhuang first. I want to go to the Langhuan Jade Cave to see those martial arts secret manuals!" Lin Fan asked casually.

Huang Rong sniffed her nose and looked at Lin Fan fiercely, thinking to herself, I think you want to see Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan, right?

"Young Master, Madam Wang is very fierce. The Langhuan Jade Cave is a forbidden area of Mantuo Shanzhuang and is not allowed for outsiders to enter. Young Master South Murong has to ask Madam Wang for permission to enter!"

Because she and Zhu Abi followed Lin Fan, Azhu called South Murong Fu 'Young Master South Murong'.

"Do I need Madam Wang's consent to enter? I enter if I want to enter. Li Qingluo can't stop me!" Lin Fan said confidently.

"No, Young Master, can you not hurt the cousin?"

It turned out that Azhu was afraid that Madam Wang's irritable temper would provoke Lin Fan and implicate Wang Yuyan, so she pleaded for Wang Yuyan.

Because Azhu knew that Wang Yuyan was not only the cousin but also her sister from the same father but different mothers.
