When Lin Yanqing and An Zhixian went downstairs, they heard Chu Chengyao's gentlemanly remarks.
When I got downstairs, I heard Chu Chengyao asking Zhuqing: "Is your boss here?"
An Zhixian greeted him with a smile and saluted, "Brother Cheng, I didn't know that Brother Cheng would be far away from us when he came."
Chu Chengyao turned around and saw An Zhixian who was about to exchange greetings. He also saw Lin Yanqing coming slowly. He bowed and said with a smile:
"Are you here to drink tea too?"
Lin Yanqing returned the salute and said: "I came here to sit with my old friend. I just helped Yan'er out of the siege, so I would like to thank you. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come up with me and sit down?"
Chu Chengyao waved his hand: "We just met by chance, don't take it to heart. Since you are getting together with old friends, I won't disturb you."
After that, he said to An Zhixian: "Help me decorate some lighter tea, I want to give it away."
An Zhixian agreed and took Zhuqing to pack the tea.
Lin Jinyan stepped forward and saluted: "Grandpa."
Lin Yanqing looked at her granddaughter: "Have you ever been scared?"
Lin Jinyan shook her head: "I'm not scared, grandfather. Yan'er has never seen that Xiao Siming in private, and I don't know why he is like this."
Lin Yanqing said loudly: "Grandpa knows your character. Bring more people with you when you go out in the future. Don't be blocked by such a libertine again. If he dares to block you again, just go home and tell me and your father, we I will ask his parents for an explanation."
Lin Jinyan nodded and said, "Thank you, grandpa, Yan'er will remember it."
Listening to the conversation between his grandfather and grandson, Chu Chengyao's smile deepened. After taking the tea, he said goodbye to a few people and went straight out of Night Hou.
Lin Jinyan followed Lin Yanqing upstairs and sat down after meeting the Qin Yushi and Yao Taishi.
After hearing what happened just now, Qin Yushi frowned and said:
"This son of the Xiao family is the son of the Minister of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry is under the jurisdiction of the third prince. I'm afraid he came here prepared today. Girl Yan, you should be more careful when you go out in the future."
Lin Jinyan agreed with a smile, and An Zhixian continued the tea ceremony for several people:
"Mr. Qin is right. I heard from my guy that Xiao Tanhua has been coming to stay for a while since the Flower Party."
Qin Yushi sighed: "Nowadays, the prince and the third prince are fighting fiercely, and they are not giving in to each other in the court. Although the prince is orthodox, the third prince has military exploits and the military power of the Han family. They are indeed equally divided. This is At the critical moment, if we can get the support of your Lin family and Gu family, it will be an overwhelming advantage. No wonder they are so interested in Yan Yatou."
Lin Yanqing: "Brother Gu and I have discussed this matter. Brother Gu and I have the same idea. Just do your part and don't stand with any party."
Grand Master Yao drank tea and listened to a few people talking. He put down the empty tea cup and said calmly:
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. If you are in the court, you will be forced to get involved even if you don't want to. Besides, it's not just the crown prince and the third prince who are thinking about you, my granddaughter. The person who just rescued the siege may not have no ideas."
Qin Yushi was puzzled: "Master, are you talking about the second prince? But the second prince just made his move, and there is nothing wrong with it..."
Grand Master Yao: "As a prince, how many of you don't want to ascend to the throne? His arrival is too coincidental."
Qin Yushi: "The Grand Master doesn't know something. This second prince has a reputation as a virtuous man, and he will take care of these things when he sees them. A few years ago, when he just took over the Ministry of Justice, he was framed by someone who used Yan Yatou's life as a trap. This prompted General Gu and Brother Lin to suppress him, and he has been depressed over the years. His biological mother is just a palace maid. She has neither the support of her mother's family nor the love of His Majesty, so he cannot ascend to a high position."
