Since it was Chinese New Year and we were all alone, there was no separate table and everyone sat around in a lively manner.
Lin Jinyan sat between Bai Yiran and Lin Jinan, and the bowl was never empty.
Bai Yiran smiled lovingly when he saw Lin Jinyan praising how delicious it was.
Gu Qingyun smiled and said: "Your aunt knows that you like to eat, but she went to the kitchen to work early in the morning."
Lin Jinyan: "No wonder it smells so good, it was made by my aunt."
Bai Yiran: "As long as you like it, it's a pity that Wanrong's child didn't come with you."
Lin Jinyan: "We originally wanted to come together, but today my cousin and cousin from the Zhou family are going to visit my grandmother, and we are not here. My grandmother thought that her cousin would have no one to accompany her, so she left her behind."
Gu Hongzhang: "Miss Zhou is too smart. That girl Wanrong is as scheming as Yan'er. I'm afraid she won't be able to play with Miss Zhou."
Lin Jinyan saw a hint of embarrassment on Lin Siyuan's face and hurriedly answered the conversation:
"Grandpa is just rounding the corner and saying that Yan'er is stupid. He is afraid that Yan'er won't obey, so he is talking about his cousin, right?"
Gu Hongzhang had a smile in his eyes: "Huh? Did you hear it?"
Lin Jinyan pretended to be jumping around: "Uncle! Aunt! Dad! Look, grandpa is bullying others."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became lively again.
After finishing the meal, Lin Jinyan mentioned that she had guests at home and wanted to go home early, so Gu Hongzhang and others did not stay long.
On the carriage back home, Lin Jinan and Lin Jinyan sat in the same carriage, leaning on soft pillows and stroking their bellies, and kept eating to hold themselves up.
The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled at each other.
Lin Jinan sat up straight and straightened his expression:
"Get up and sit down. I have something to tell you. What does it look like?"
Lin Jinyan was helped up by Bai Zhi and sat up. She suppressed her smile, cleared her throat and saluted:
"Master Lin, please speak."
Lin Jinan suppressed his smile: "Don't make trouble. I really have something serious to talk to you about, and Bai Zhi and Hongjiu will listen."
Seeing all three people looking at him, Lin Jinan said seriously:
"Brother Ran is kind to my cousin for saving his life, so he is naturally our benefactor. He must repay his kindness, even if he repays it with his life. But... we must not sacrifice you."
Lin Jinyan: "Me?"
Lin Jinan nodded: "Brother Ran seems to be... unusual for you. It is understandable that you are closer to Brother Ran than others out of kindness. But you are a daughter of a boudoir, and Brother Ran is still a foreign man no matter how good he is. How can you give up your clothes? Where is he holding it? If outsiders see it, will your reputation be lost?"
After listening to this, Lin Jinyan and the three of them had complicated and incomprehensible expressions on their faces, which changed several times and finally turned into smiles.
Lin Jinan was confused and asked: "What are you laughing at?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said: "No wonder the young master was reprimanding me at that time. I should be reprimanded. I have written it down. I will pay more attention to it in the future."
Lin Jinan gave instructions to the three of them for a while. All three of them were smiling, which made Lin Jinan confused.
After returning to the mansion, I learned that not only the Zhou family and his daughter were there, but also Lin Jinyun, who had returned from the mansion yesterday and accompanied the Liu family back home today, was also here.
The three of them entered Songmao Hall, and Lin Yanqing and Lin Wanrong's smiles took on substance.
After greeting each other and taking their seats, Lin Jinyan took a closer look at the three Zhou family members.
Zhou's father also had a good-looking appearance, carrying the appearance of a noble scholar, but his eyes were full of calculation and flattery.
Zhou Yuexue's facial features are exactly the same as those of Zhou's father.
Next to Zhou Yuexue, there was a six or seven-year-old girl, who was staring intently at Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinan, looking back and forth.
