An Zhixian served Lin Jinyan more tea: "Why does Miss Lin want to form an alliance with An? What is her purpose?"
Lin Jinyan looked out the window with a look of helplessness and sadness:
"The princes are coming of age one after another, and disputes in the future are inevitable. The General's Mansion has a heavy army, and in the chaos of the imperial city, even if there is no intention to fight, they will be forced into the situation."
"Ms. Lin wants to...make the decision by herself?"
Lin Jinyan turned her head and said seriously: "To be honest, I don't have the slightest fondness for the palace, and that's not what I want. I just want to find a way to protect the Gu and Lin family from wind and rain. No matter how big the storm is in the future, It won’t hurt them at all.”
An Zhixian looked straight into Lin Jinyan's eyes, with such deep eyes that he seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
Lin Jinyan looked at her without hesitation. After a long time, An Zhixian asked:
"Lin Jinyan, are you really just a child?"
Lin Jinyan's pupils involuntarily dilated for a moment, and her eyes flickered slightly.
"What does Boss An mean by this?"
An Zhixian: "You are not yet ten years old, but you have already started to prepare for things that will happen many years later. I used to find it strange that you look like a child but act far beyond your age. You seem to be about the same as me or older than me. generally."
Lin Jinyan's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and she forced herself to look calmly at the dangerous man opposite.
"The sage said that if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Only by getting ahead of disasters can you avoid disasters."
An Zhixian: "With such foresight and far-sightedness, she deserves to be the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor. What should An do after forming an alliance?"
Lin Jinyan calmed down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I told Boss An frankly about all my plans, but Boss An still hasn't said what your intentions are in coming to the capital? If we want to form an alliance, we should know each other well."
An Zhixian: "An came to Beijing to find out information and strengthen Mingye Pavilion. It has nothing to do with Miss Lin's plan, and it will definitely not implicate the Gu Lin family."
Lin Jinyan: "This is the best. Don't worry, Boss An. I won't let you do anything difficult, nor will I just ask Boss An to pay. You have the power in the world that I don't have, and I have news that you don't know. We usually act independently and interact with each other." Just ask and help when needed. How about that?"
An Zhixian raised his tea cup: "Ms. Lin said this, is there any reason for Mr. An to not respond?"
Lin Jinyan raised the tea cup with both hands: "Established allies must say something in advance. They must not betray the other party, harm the other party's interests, harm the other party's family or personnel, send people to investigate, and must not tell others except the few people who just heard about it."
An Zhixian's smile widened: "It's really worry-free to cooperate with Miss Lin. These are the things that should be done, and An should abide by them."
Lin Jinyan stood up, hugged the teacup and leaned forward to clink glasses with An Zhixian.
"Boss An has no objection. This promise will take effect from tomorrow. Don't let Hong Jiu go back and forth. If anything happens, I will let Hong Jiu come and stay overnight."
"As Miss Yilin said, can the brother on the roof also come in?"
Lin Jinyan: "Song Yi."
After Lin Jinyan finished speaking, Song Yi jumped in from the window, raised his hands to An Zhixian and said, "Boss An has a good ear."
An Zhixian: "Young Master Yueying has no intention of hiding."
Song Yi: "I'm being hunted and can't show up easily, so I can't show up, Boss An Haihan. I got help from Mingye Pavilion earlier, Song Yi would like to thank you."
An Zhixian: "I heard from the master that you have already thanked him in person, so there is no need to sit down politely."
Song Yi: "It turns out that he is the disciple of Senior Pluto."
