Lin Jinyan buried her face in the old lady's arms and remained silent. Her body twitched slightly, letting the old lady know that she had been wronged.
After hearing what A Nao said, Lin Jinyan silently rewarded A Nao in her heart.
The old lady scolded Lin Jinyun. It wasn't until the old lady was about to lose her anger that Lin Jinyan straightened up and begged Lin Jinyun. He earned enough favor in front of the old lady and rewarded Lin Jinyan with money so that she and her brothers and sisters could go out and have fun.
Before leaving the courtyard of Songmaotang, Lin Jinyan caught up with Lin Jinyun and invited him out with a smile. Lin Jinyun said "no" angrily and flicked his sleeves before leaving Songmaotang.
Lin Jinyan looked at Lin Jinyun's walking away with aggrieved look. Lin Jin'an and Lin Wanrong hurriedly stepped forward to coax him. Bai Zhi and A Nao also helped to persuade him. Even Liuli couldn't bear to see him off and coaxed her a few words in a gentle voice.
Seeing Lin Jinyan walking out of Songmao Hall with her head lowered, Liuli shook her head and returned to the house.
Hong Jiu, who was following everyone, had a numb expression throughout the whole process: He is really good at acting...
After sending Lin Jinan and Lin Wanrong away and letting them go back to their rooms to clean up, Lin Jinyan went back to the inner room and washed her hands three times, then took the wet handkerchief handed by Bai Zhi with an expressionless face and wiped her face.
"This stuff is too harsh on the eyes, please apply less next time."
Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Xu said this stuff is non-toxic and has no smell, but my eyes can't stand it. Even a strong-willed man will shed a cup of tears after being stained with it."
Lin Jinyan: "I understand."
Hong Jiu: ...and next time?
In Tingyu Pavilion, Zhou Yuexue, who was lying on the bed and exhausted, was about to bleed. After realizing something was wrong, he was already on guard. He obviously didn't drink any water from yesterday to this morning, how could he still be like this? ! I've been hungry all day in vain!
After Lin Jinyan and the others tidied up, they arrived at the Fairy Yao Building. The shopkeeper led them to the private room, where Gu Yichen was already sitting there drinking tea.
A few people fell behind and started chatting. Gu Yichen mentioned that the Dingbei Army would return to the court soon, and the three Lin family members were very happy.
About two moments later, Princess Yanling pushed open the door and walked in: "Haha, here I come. When I went out, I happened to meet the third brother returning home. I was delayed for a while waiting for him to change clothes."
Gu Yichen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are just gathering together to eat. If you are hungry, you will eat more."
Chu Chengyi sat between Gu Yichen and Lin Jinan: "What Yichen said is reasonable, but if your sister eats too much and becomes distressed and cries, I won't coax her."
Lin Jinyan: "What the young prince said makes me look petty."
Princess Yanling: "Third brother, you haven't started eating yet, why are you talking about the master's family?"
Chu Chengyi sighed helplessly: "Okay, Yichen, look at my sister who was abducted by your sister. You have to compensate me."
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "How does Brother Yi want me to compensate?"
Princess Yanling: "That's not easy. Lin Jinyan, you call him brother. From now on, you will ask for gifts from him on Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and birthdays, so that he can take advantage of you and behave like a good boy."
Chu Chengyi raised his hand to touch his forehead as if he had a headache: "I'm afraid of you. How can there be a prodigal girl like you?"
The bickering between the brother and sister made several people laugh. Lin Jinyan ordered the shopkeeper to serve all the special dishes, and everyone was full of laughter after the meal.
After taking away the food and serving tea, Chu Chengyi chatted: "Yichen, on the way here, I heard Yan Ling say that you have been practicing martial arts with your master recently? How are you doing?"
Gu Yichen: "I'm not really a master. He's very skilled. I've been sparring with him a lot lately. He was just injured and temporarily staying in the house. I have to thank Yan'er for saving him accidentally."
