Chapter 57: Welcoming Lin Jin Xuan
Before meeting Zhou Luo, Lin Jin Xuan had heard a lot about him.
This included that he was a son-in-law tricked into the family, a middle first-level Pill Master, married six wives, won first place in the written test at the Spiritual Pill Conference, and successfully obtained the opportunity to study at the Qinyuan Sect, among other things.
She was curious about this man.
After meeting him and having a pleasant conversation, Lin Jin Xuan felt that marrying him was not an unacceptable matter.
Although she knew that Zhou Luo had many wives, she didn’t expect that there were so many children.
Could it be that he didn’t practice cultivation and only thought about having children every day?
Lin Jin Xuan felt a surge of surprise inside.
Of course, she didn’t dislike these things; after all, for a man with the potential to become a second level Pill Master, having many wives and concubines was a very normal thing.
Moreover, she also liked interacting with the children very much.
“Daddy… Daddy…”
As soon as Zhou Luo appeared, the little ones, led by little Chang An, called out to him simultaneously in childish voices, and their tender voice sounded particularly clear and loud at that moment.
Little Chang An even threw aside the rocking horse, spread his small hands, and ran over.
Zhou Luo quickly picked him up.
“Hello,” Lin Jin Xuan said with a smile, looking at this little one, as she greeted.
Little Chang An gazed at her with his bright, big eyes, his expression a bit dazed: “Little mama, you are so beautiful.”
Upon hearing the words “little mama,” a faint blush appeared on Lin Jin Xuan’s cheeks, and she reached out to softly pat little Chang An’s head: “What’s your name?”
“My name is Zhou Chang An,” little Chang An declared, lifting his chin proudly.
“It’s a very nice name,” Lin Jin Xuan said with a light laugh.
“Would you like to hold him?” Zhou Luo suddenly asked at that moment.
“Can I?” Lin Jin Xuan asked, appearing surprised, not expecting that he would let her hold the child.
“Of course,” Zhou Luo placed little Chang An into her arms.
Holding this little guy, Lin Jin Xuan’s initially calm eyes revealed a trace of anxiety.
It was her first time holding a child, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
As for little Chang An, he looked up very obediently at this beautiful little mama, wondering in his mind whether he would have another younger brother or sister.
“Don’t be nervous; he’s very obedient,” Zhou Luo teased, eyeing Lin Jin Xuan’s somewhat stiff posture.
Little Chang An also chimed in: “Yes, little mama, I am very obedient.”
The words from the father and son made Lin Jin Xuan’s lips curl slightly upward, and much of the unease in her heart lessened.
At this time, Bai Zhi Yan walked over as well.
Lin Jin Xuan just then noticed her, and a flash of shock went through her beautiful eyes.
Because she realized that whether in appearance or temperament, she was not at all inferior to herself.
She unconsciously sized her up, feeling increasingly that she possessed a unique beauty.
Zhou Luo smoothly introduced the two to each other.
After hearing that she was the woman who had recently almost been kidnapped by a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, Lin Jin Xuan looked thoughtful.
She thought to herself that no wonder that Hehuan Sect disciple dared to be so bold; it was because the other party was so beautiful.
Bai Zhi Yan showed no dissatisfaction toward this woman who was about to marry Zhou Luo, and instead greeted her very generously.
After a brief conversation, both women discovered that each other enjoyed playing with children.
With a shared topic, their conversation became even smoother and more natural, to the extent that they ignored Zhou Luo beside them.
Zhou Luo embarrassedly rubbed his nose, yet he was very satisfied with the current scene.
He simply walked aside and started playing with other children.
Moreover, after discovering that her personality was even gentler and easier to get along with than imagined, Bai Zhi Yan expressed that she would introduce her to the other sisters.
Naturally, Lin Jin Xuan did not refuse.
Just like that, the two women walked directly to the main building.
Zhou Luo did not stop them, as his purpose in inviting her to Zhou Garden was precisely to let Lin Jin Xuan see his wives and concubines, which would facilitate their future coexistence.
Inside the main building, Lin Qing Han and the others were quite surprised at Lin Jin Xuan’s arrival.
However, they soon engaged in conversation with each other quite naturally.
About half an hour later, Zhou Luo timely appeared in the hall.
In the hall, all the women had already left, leaving only Lin Jin Xuan alone.
"How was the chat?" asked Zhou Luo with a smile.
"Very good," answered Lin Jin Xuan honestly.
On the way here, she had still been pondering what attitude to adopt when getting along with Zhou Luo’s other women.
Now it seemed she had thought too much.
The other party was even easier to get along with than imagined.
"Then what do you think of me?" asked Zhou Luo again.
Hearing these words, Lin Jin Xuan involuntarily lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her voice soft: "Also very good."
With this remark, the subsequent conversation became much simpler, and Zhou Luo smoothly brought up the matter of marriage.
Having long prepared herself mentally, Lin Jin Xuan naturally did not refuse.
At noon, Zhou Luo took her and his wives and concubines’ offspring to have a meal.
This meal ended up being more lively than expected.
Perhaps paved by the morning’s interactions, Lin Jin Xuan’s appearance did not cause much psychological burden among the women, and instead, it seemed even more harmonious and joyful.
In the afternoon, Zhou Luo took Lin Jin Xuan home.
Because she was a direct descendant of the Great Elder, her home was also in a manor estate.
Here, he met her parents and her other siblings.
The two families had no objections to their marriage, and Lin Jin Xuan’s father stated that he would personally arrange the wedding to ensure it was lively and bustling.
To this, Zhou Luo gladly accepted.
The next day, Lin Jin Xuan’s father sent people to Zhou Garden to begin decorating.
Simultaneously, the news of their marriage quickly spread throughout the Lin Family.
"Have you heard? Zhou Luo is going to marry the Great Elder’s granddaughter."
"Zhou Luo? That live-in son-in-law?"
"Yes, I didn’t expect his luck to be so good—she’s the Great Elder’s granddaughter."
"Truly good fortune, and this seems to be his seventh woman. Does he not intend to practice anymore?"
"I don’t know about practicing, but his women are really beautiful."
…
Not only were members of the Lin Family discussing this event, but also the live-in sons-in-law recruited by the family heard of it and were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
In their eyes, Zhou Luo was their faith.
For a live-in son-in-law to reach such heights today was truly a model for fellow men.
So much so that those live-in sons-in-law who were originally confused about their future became even more determined in their choices and aspired to become like Zhou Luo.
Two days later, the wedding commenced.
Because she was the Great Elder’s granddaughter, this wedding was held very grandly.
Essentially all members of the family sent gifts and blessings.
Even the main house sent a large amount of gift money.
Zhou Luo did not count it carefully, but seeing the hill-like pile of practice resources, he grinned from ear to ear.
At the wedding, Zhou Luo wore a Robe, with a feathered cap on his head, while the bride dressed in a grand red wedding gown, embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns, wore a beaded curtain phoenix crown, and was veiled with a red cloth.
The two stood in the center of the hall, with the bride’s parents seated before them.
Moreover, to the great shock of everyone present, the Great Elder personally officiated and delivered a speech for the couple.
Any astute observer could see.
This was the Great Elder expressing his regard for Zhou Luo.
It was believed that after this day, Zhou Luo’s status in the family would rise sharply.
