Lin Jinyan smiled and pulled Lin Jinan's sleeve and walked inside:
"This is not the place to talk. Grandpa and the others are still waiting for you."
Lin Jinan stared at Lin Jinyan and grinned, unable to hold back his smile. Lin Jinyan pulled his sleeve and followed Lin Jinyan closely. His silly appearance made the servants burst into laughter. This was the first time they had seen the young master like this in so many years.
In Songmao Hall, laughter erupted from time to time because of Lin Jinan's return.
Lin Yanqing stroked his beard and smiled heartily:
"I heard that you scolded Lu Sang in front of the battle, which made Lu Sang furious?"
Lin Jinan said embarrassedly: "Grandpa, please stop teasing your grandson. At that time, he did it out of desperation, but now that he thinks about it, he is like a gangster in the market. It is insulting to the gentlemen and it is really indecent."
Lin Yanqing: "You are wise in repelling enemies and meritorious in scolding thieves. Why is it indecent? Although your father and I have taught you the conduct of a pure and upright gentleman, you need to know that the greatest gentleman is the one who protects the country and the people." Your disaster relief trip is about reassuring the people. You went to Mobei because you are worried about your brother and because you care about justice. Disturbing the enemy's mind before the battle and helping Tianchu retreat the enemy's army is about protecting the country. With you, you are so kind to the country and the people. Grandfather is very pleased to be the descendant of Chongyi."
Seeing that Lin Jinan was stunned after hearing this, the old lady and Lin Wanrong both looked at it funny, Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"What's wrong with my brother? Are you being fooled by your grandfather's praise?"
Lin Jinan came back to his senses after hearing this: "Grandpa...Although you have encouraged your grandson in the past, this is the first time you have praised me like this...My grandson just did what he thought in his heart, and it is far less powerful than what his grandfather said."
Lin Yanqing: "There are many people in the world who are boastful. It is not easy for you to combine knowledge and action. Whatever you do, your grandfather will evaluate you. You don't have to be humble, but you can't be arrogant either."
Old lady: "Your grandfather is right. In recent years, the government has been stable. Most of the younger generation are greedy for pleasure. It is rare to be able to do what you and Yichen are like. Grandma has always trusted you."
Lin Wanrong: "Now that An'er is back, grandma said don't worry. A few days ago, I didn't know who stayed in the Buddhist hall all day long, chanting sutras and praying. She was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well."
The old lady pointed at Lin Wanrong and laughed and scolded: "Okay, you little bastard has become more and more bold in the past few years. You dare to come and tear me down. You really deserve a beating."
Lin Jinan: "Grandma, before my grandson left, you promised that he would have a good life and eat well. As an elder, how can you not keep your promise?"
The old lady stroked her forehead with a smile on her face, frowned and looked at Lin Yanqing as if she had a headache:
"Oh, I was looking forward to them growing up when I was young, but when they grow up, they all become housekeepers. Now there are two more at once. They will be talked about every day in the future. It is really a headache."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. After laughing, Lin Jinyan said:
"Grandpa, grandma, Yan'er wants to go to the general's mansion so that grandpa and the others can see me and feel at ease."
Lin Yanqing: "That's how it should be. They don't know you're back yet. I don't know how happy they will be when they see you when they leave the palace and return home."
Lin Jinan: "Grandpa and grandpa, I'm going with Yan'er."
Lin Jinyan: "My brother just came back from the road and had a great time chatting with his grandparents."
Lin Jinan: "It's okay, brother, you're not tired. It just so happens that dad is at the academy and hasn't come back yet. Later we will come out from grandpa's place and go directly to the academy to pick dad up."
Lin Jinyan agreed with a smile, then turned to look at Lin Wanrong:
"Sister Wanrong, let's go together."
