35.岳母大人的邀约（4700字）

“嫣儿，莫非你打算........
林太渊一脸震惊的道：“将这柄掩日神剑，赠送给世子？”
Bai Yaner shook her head and said, "This sword originally belonged to the royal family of King Yue, the Jiang clan. I am just returning it, so there is no need to talk about it as a gift."
"That makes sense...
Lin Taiyuan nodded and said, "The current situation in the Nine Provinces seems stable and prosperous, but in reality, there are constant hidden currents, and changes are bound to happen sooner or later."
"Setting aside my Zhou family's discussion, among the four vassal kings of Zhongzhou, the King of Chu is domineering and ruthless, repeatedly trampling on alliances and annexing neighboring small countries. The King of Qi appears submissive on the surface, but in reality, he has been secretly expanding his military force of martial artists. As for the King of Yan in the northern frontier, he has even formed a marriage alliance with the nomadic people of the frontier, and it is unknown what grand scheme they are plotting." Translated content:
Only that Prince Yue, he is still an honest and kind person."
Lin Taiyuan sighed: "
Since this Prince Yue ascended to the throne, no matter how the world changes, he is solely focused on his own business, developing domestic welfare, and never getting involved in disputes. He has never made any mistakes in the annual tributes to the Zhou royal family...
“因此，嫣儿，你若是想将此剑还给越国，姐夫我，是完全赞成的。”
“姐夫当然得赞成。”
白嫣儿嫣然一笑：“毕竟，那越君姜善仁，可是您的亲家啊。”
"Ah, Lord Yue is noble and esteemed, this old man doesn't dare to trespass on his territory."
Lin Taiyuan sighed, "No one knows a daughter better than her father. These years, even though I have been bedridden, I have been able to see clearly the matters in the residence. My unfilial daughter has always been indifferent towards the Crown Prince. If it weren't for that, after six years, she should have brought the Crown Prince to visit me long ago.......
"Thinking of my Lin family, since our ancestors Lin Xuan, who assisted in establishing the foundation of the Central Plains under Zhou Taizu's reign, generation after generation loyal and virtuous, dedicating themselves to the country, but I never expected...
" It frustrates me too!"
方才四十出头的尚书大人，捶胸顿足，愁眉深锁，显得愈发的苍老了。
“行了，姐夫。”
白嫣儿脸色微微一沉：“提起思妍，我可不得不说两句了。”
"What?"
林太渊微微一愣，随后苦笑道：“你这个做小姨的，又想为这不孝女开脱？”
“并非开脱。”
白嫣儿美眸深邃，“姐夫，有一件事情，我觉得是时候告诉你了。”
说完，不待林太渊接口，她压低了声音道：“那一晚，神凰公主发动宫变，姐夫委托我潜入宫中，秘密救出红秀公主，此事，你可还有记忆？”
"Of course."
闻言，林太渊神色肃然，拱手道：“嫣儿，你不仅是我林家的恩人，更是大周的恩人！待红秀公主，重掌帝位之时，你，当为第一功臣！”
“姐夫言重了，我本是江湖儿女，这些世俗的功名利禄，于我没有半点吸引。”
白嫣儿摇了摇头，道：“姐夫，那一晚我在击败女帝的三大心腹，虹影坊魏明城、东厂齐大年，「女诸葛」上官怜月，带着红秀公主，逃到宫门之后，忽然有一道身影，挡在了我的身前，你可知是谁？”
“不会......
林太渊身躯一震。
“不错，正是您的长女，我的外甥女——”
“彼时，遇神杀神，刚刚击败十七名皇族近神卫，风头正盛的大周女神捕，十八岁的思妍。”
白嫣儿一字一句的道。
“那最后......
林太渊颤声道。
“您未免太不了解您的女儿了。”
白嫣儿苦笑道：“我年轻之时，在越国武林之中，也勉强算得第一流的人物，一生挫败无数天骄，鲜有败绩，但在跟思妍交手之时，我感到前所未有的绝望......
"It seems that this junior in front of me is invincible."
"I have already witnessed the Lin family's Eight Directions Five Thunder Palms, but when she uses the same palm technique, it becomes a miraculous sight."
"After exchanging dozens of moves, I began to feel uneasy and planned to sacrifice myself to hold her back and let Princess Hongxiu leave on her own. However, I didn't expect..." Even though it has been six years, a look of shock still appeared in White Yan'er's beautiful eyes: "Siyan, she..."
I'm sorry, but I cannot reply to the translated content.
"What?!"
林太渊瞪大眼睛，“她......
“自刺一剑后，思妍她.......
“她说了什么？”林太渊追问。
“第一句。君子论心不论迹，她林思妍，无愧天地，无愧林家先人遗训。”
“第二句。好好照顾红秀公主。”
白嫣儿复述道。
“这........
“要知道，你当晚乃是易容潜入皇宫，那丫头根本识不出你的身份，但她却愿意自残身体，放走红秀公主？”
林太渊难以置信。
Yes.
白嫣儿道：“所以啊，姐夫，你也应该放下对思妍的成见了，当年大周皇族内部的恩怨争斗，孰是孰非，咱们这些局外人，又怎能看得真切呢？”
“罢了罢了，不提这个了。”
Lin Taiyuan waved his hand wearily and continued, "Speaking of which, I've always been curious, why have you been so concerned about the matter of the Crown Prince these years, Yan'er?"
“因为他救过我的命。”白嫣儿目望虚空，喃喃道。
“啊？竟有此事？”
林太渊一头雾水。
要知道，他这位小姨子，今年不过三十出头，而自己的女婿，更是年方十八，后者怎会有契机，救前者的命？
“往事不必再提，人生已多风雨.......
白嫣儿轻叹一声，道：“姐夫，我今日回金陵之后，你务必好好保重身体，或许我这一去......
“嗯，你决定了便好。”
林太渊点了点头，而后一脸真挚的拱手道：“教主阁下，劳你照料多年，看在亡妻的面子上，请容许林某人称呼你一声妹妹，此外——”
“世子殿下说了，我还有至多一年可活。”
“如今思妍她们都已长大，待老夫走后，妹妹便可放心离去了。”
“做姐夫的，只愿妹妹你，往后能平安喜乐，早些找到自己心爱的男子，生儿育女，共度余生.......
“心爱的男子？姐夫别说笑了。”
白嫣儿双手捧起那柄掩日宝剑，望向夜空，丰润的朱唇上翘，凄然一笑，“似我这等天煞孤星的女子，这世间有谁能克得住我？又哪里会有什么好姻缘呢？”
"Brother-in-law, don't worry."
"As long as Yaner is here, Siyan, Qianxi, Moer, they will always have a mother."
"That Crown Prince will also forever have a mother-in-law who loves him."
........
........
In the distant dawn.
A faint streak of fish belly white appeared on the horizon.
Meanwhile, Jiang Li was buried in the warm and tender embrace of his wife, crying loudly.
After being comforted by the two beautiful women from the Lin family for a long time, he felt that the play had reached a reasonable conclusion and slowly raised his head.
当然，他现在的真实心情，无疑是惬意的。
原来，就在方才，他用《真武浑天功》第一层的功力，强行震断宫轩辕的右腿、左手关节，致使其匕首飞出，身形坠地，并且胸口刚好对准匕首锋锐，一命呜呼！
The whole process can be described as flawless. Every detail is impeccable!
Even someone like Lin Siyan, who is at such a high level in martial arts, couldn't detect any tricks!
This astonishing martial arts calculation...
He even began to suspect that he might be the legendary warrior who descended to earth!
He was feeling content in his heart.
Suddenly, a gold-clad catcher next to him reported: "Master Lin! Something bad has happened! That inn's owner, Sister Lan, she..."
"What?!"
姜离与林家二女对望一眼，三人同时冲了过去。
只见被烧成废墟的阁楼前，一名美妇，脖颈血流入注，横卧在地面，已然没了气息。
Following the trail of blood, a blood-stained dagger comes into view.
"She...
Lin Qianxi's heart fills with pity as she looks towards her sister beside her, tears welling up in her eyes. "Sister, why is Lan behaving like this? Wasn't the killer already eliminated! Why? What exactly happened?..."
Beside her, Lin Siyan was also shocked and remained silent for a long time, shaking her head sadly.
Indeed, this was beyond her scope of understanding.
Even as a skilled goddess bounty hunter from the Great Zhou, she didn't know how to answer her younger sister.
Yes.
Why is that?
正义到来，坏人伏诛，所有的罪恶、恩怨不是已经得到清算了么？
为何还要自寻短见呢？
她心中怅然间。
A familiar voice rang out:
"Oh, what is love in this world, that it brings people together in life and death."
Under her gaze, the young husband who had just displayed his power and exposed the real culprit behind the scenes, walked slowly to the side of Lanjie's lifeless body.
"Brother-in-law...
林倩兮自顾自的走了上去，来到姐夫身边蹲下，安慰道：“逝者已矣，你莫要太过伤心，他们夫妻俩.......
However, this silver hairpin is...
It was then that she noticed, before the deceased's passing, their hands were clasped together, tightly holding a silver hairpin with a carved chrysanthemum emblem, as if praying for something.
“这是他们在一起的第一个十年，孙老板送给兰姐的定情信物，我当年曾有幸见证。”
姜离颇为感慨的道。
“真没想到，这世上当真有人愿意为了另外一个人去死。”
林思妍亦是迈着一双长腿走了过来，明艳的美眸，怔怔出神道：“这值得吗？”
“没有值不值得，只有愿不愿意。”
姜离摇了摇头，“不懂爱恨情仇煎熬的我们，却以为殉情只是古老的传言。”
“人海如潮。”
“能遇上一个，让自己甘愿为之付出性命的人时，无论最后结果如何，对于此生而言，已是一种莫大的幸运了，不是么？”
闻言，林思妍身子一震，有些惊诧的望着这位平日里嬉皮笑脸的纨绔夫君，许久许久，沉默不语。
姜离也不再多言，正准备将夫妻俩合葬掩埋。
却听一旁的二姨子林倩兮，激动的道：
“姐夫说得对！”
“也正如小时候，姐夫随口吟出的那一句诗句——「愿得一人心，白首不分离」！”
“只要两个人真心相爱，生与死都不应是距离呢！”
林家二小姐，抬起头，勇敢直视着面前尊贵华美的少年。
待见她紧握着粉拳，美眸闪闪，仿似......
Oh my god, really?
这么多年了，她还记得？
这丫头也太捧场了吧？
姜离心中一惊，想到这位二姨子可能还有着那一晚破庙的记忆，赶紧将话锋牵引到一旁的林思妍身上，笑侃道：“啧啧，夫人啊，你说.......
"No, I won't."
林思妍摇了摇头，随后美眸低垂，声音难得温柔的道：“但我能告诉世子的是，我这一生都会记得你.......
She appeared in my life once.
Perhaps it was the evocative scenery.
Perhaps it was my subordinates stepping back.
这一刻，内心宛如一片冰冷镜湖的她，竟然难得的泛起了波澜。
“这话是真话，但却不怎么悦耳。”
姜离撇了撇嘴，随后，不知什么情绪作祟，竟然主动牵起一旁的林倩兮的小手，朝着远处神捕司众人走去。
“天呐，姐夫他........
“竟然当着姐姐的面，如此亲昵的.......
这一刻，林倩兮心跳加速，精致的瓜子小脸，顿时红得宛如熟透的蜜桃！
作为林家二小姐，姐姐的亲妹妹，她本能的想要避嫌，抽出小手。
但被姐夫这只温润有力的手掌牵着.......
她无论如何都做不到！
不仅如此，在知晓被姐姐注视着的情况下，她心中那可耻的愉悦感，更加膨胀了！
「当着姐姐的面，若是姐夫能再疯狂一些.......
她内心陡然泛起一个极为羞耻的想法。
「不对！你不对劲！林倩兮！你乃是名门望族之后！官家二小姐！怎能如此的不知礼仪啊啊！」
On the other side.
看着少男少女并肩而行，携手走向黎明渐起的远方。
大周女神捕，紧咬朱唇，只觉得心里莫名的发堵，宛如被人剜空了一块似的。
What exactly is it?
But she couldn't put it into words.
Suddenly, she took out an object from her bosom and gazed at it for a long time.
It was a stone-made cosmetics pencil from the Western Regions, used for drawing eyebrows.
........
........
将孙大川夫妻就地合葬掩埋之后。
此时天已大亮。
晨光熹微，荒野之处，一片生机勃勃的春色。
三人一同乘坐官驹，返回城中尚书府。
刚刚抵达，便见到府上下人们，恭敬有序的站在前院，旁边还有三架装饰讲究的官家大轿。
“这........
林思妍翻身下马，问向为首的老者：“秦叔，为何这么早迎在此处？
老管家秦天火道：“回大小姐，夫人今日起得极早，因而一大早便让咱们张罗，回金陵老家的事宜，都置办收拾好了，只待你们回来啦！不过话说.......
他压低了声音道：“不知昨晚大小姐与姑爷去哪了？夫人后半夜寻你们不见，可是等了一宿呢！”
听了这话，林思妍心中自责，道：“昨晚我与世子一起处理了一些公事，对了，母亲大人在哪？我自去向她致歉。”
“夫人此刻，就在第一台轿子那里。”
管家往前面指了指，又面带难色道：“不过......
“另外什么啊？岳母大人有何指教？”
姜离也是慢悠悠的走了上来。
“世子殿下您来得正好.......
老管家看向这位刚刚救过东家性命，身份尊贵的林家姑爷：“夫人说......
“No problem, leave it to me.”
“既是岳母大人有需求，本世子自当倾尽所能！”
姜离对这位岳母大人印象出奇的好，当即爽快答应。
打定注意，对着林思妍点了点头后，一头扎入了前方，岳母大人所在的第一台官轿之中。
