Lin Becheng looked at them closely and saw that they were indeed fully armed soldiers. ”I am a shipbuilder,” said Lin, ”and I have nothing to do with the army. What business does Guild Leader Zhu have with me? Is your military camp going to build a ship? ”
Someone said, ”They might be building a ship.”
Someone else said, ”Mister Lin, congratulations! Our captain wants to praise you. Then you'll know everything. ”
Lin Bi Cheng said: ”Please go back and tell Guild Leader Zhu that I have no time to go. Shipbuilding must first be approved by the factory, and I personally have no right to agree to that. ”
One of them stepped forward again and said, ”If we don't go, that is not giving face to the captain. We can't tell you when we get back. Please come with us. Guild Leader Zhu knew that you were busy, so he invited you over for a chat. Mr. Lin, please do not decline. ”
Lin Bi Cheng said in his heart, ”The Zhu pirates have invited me for no good reason. It's impossible to not see how things are, they have to be courteous first then military later. ”
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Bi Cheng said, ”Please sit down. I will go as soon as I'm done.”
The leader said, ”Thank you, Mister Lin! We are in charge and should not delay. ”Go ahead, we'll wait here for you.”
Back in his room, Lin Bie Cheng put on his clothes, and said to Liu Qin: ”Outside are the Zhu Bandits, they invited me to do something. You guys don't have to worry, I'll be right back. ”
Liu Qin said: ”He's not planning anything on our daughter, is he? This was last year. That time, they were driven away by a prodigy. ”
Lin Bi Cheng said: ”He is the commander, and my daughter will not give it to him. ”Don't make wild guesses, maybe it's about the building of a ship.”
Just as the two of them were unable to guess what was going on, the person outside urged them, ”Please get dressed quickly, Mister Lin. Guild Leader Zhu is sitting and waiting! ” Lin Becheng quickly put on his clothes, went out to his palanquin and followed them.
Liu Qin and her daughter were worried for the entire night. At dawn, Lin Beng had yet to return. After the mother and daughter had eaten, they went out to the street to look around. Suddenly, they saw three fast horses coming from the east, which made the dust billow.
Miss Lin was startled, ”Mother, that person is a Zhu Family pirate, he must be coming to our house.” The two girls were so frightened that they hurriedly went back into the room without looking at the room properly, closing the door tightly behind them.
Liu Qin hurriedly said, ”Your father did not come home for a whole night. Since the Zhu pirates suddenly came, something will definitely happen.” The Zhu Bandits were full of dandies and could do anything. ”Hurry and hide.” In panic, Miss Lin entered her own small house and firmly locked the door behind her. Then he hid inside and listened to what was happening outside.
The Pirate Zhu led his two janissaries to the door and jumped down from his horse. He entered the yard and knocked on the door: ”Is there anyone here? Open the door! ”Open the door!” Liu Qin hesitated for a moment and was too scared to not open the door. She opened the door fearfully and replied: ”It's Guild Leader Zhu! Please take a seat in the house. ”
The Zhu Clan pirate was rather polite as he cupped his hands and said: ”Madam Lin, this official greets you!” Then, he strode into the room and sat down beside the tea table. Liu Qin asked, ”Didn't our boss get invited to go by the Guild Leader? ”Why isn't he back yet?”
The Pirates nodded. ”I came here personally because of this. To tell you the truth, although I, Zhu, have three concubines and four concubines by my side, I don't have a single one that I like. They only know how to play cards and ask me for money. None of them are kind to me. I hurt them all. With her beautiful figure, beautiful face, and full of poetry, this captain wants to take her as his wife. It would be disrespectful if someone else came. I came today personally to ask for Madame's hand in marriage. I have made an agreement with Mr. Lin, and now it is up to you, Madam. If you nod your head slightly, then this marriage will be decided. In other words, you are my mother-in-law. What do you think? ” Then, he stared at Liu Qin.
The two guards laughed to themselves and said to themselves, ”This is good. A son-in-law is older than Weng. The mother-in-law is not more than forty years old. ”
When Liu Qin heard this, she was so scared that she didn't dare to lower her head. She was afraid that he would agree. Her heart was in panic and she was dumbstruck.
The Zhu Qin pirates thought that Liu Qin found his appearance ugly, and said, ”Although I'm not handsome, but I have some powerful forces that can cover the sky with one hand. I'm an ass with a human sauce stick. He was bold and straightforward, he had nothing to say. I hope that you can also speak quickly and agree to it very early. ”
Liu Qin said with hatred in her heart: ”Damn it! As expected, my guess was right. He once again had the idea of going after my daughter. ”What wishful thinking!” She was furious and did not dare to complain. ”Please be merciful, Captain, please let me go! ”My daughter already has an owner for the flowers. We can't get close to this marriage of yours.”
Upon hearing this, the Zhu Bandits laughed loudly and said, ”mother-in-law, don't lie to me. I know Dongfang Yijie has another marriage. That little girl was sitting at the Dongfang household waiting for their wedding. Dongfang Yijie has had enough of your daughter, and now he doesn't want it anymore. I don't mind his leftovers, nor do I mind your daughter being a ruined flower that has failed.
Liu Qin said angrily: ”Guild Leader Zhu, please show some respect! How can you ruin someone's good name for nothing! My daughter is a clean girl, you are not allowed to slander her again. She's not good, and yet you came to propose marriage three times in a while? ”
