This was the first time the two met in private since An Zhixian understood his feelings for Lin Jinyan.
Just now walking in the secret passage, An Zhixian was eager to see Lin Jinyan, his heart was beating fast and he was walking quickly. When he walked to the door, he became timid again. He raised his hand several times to completely slow down his mood, and then he opened the secret door with a normal expression. .
"Miss Lin."
Lin Jinyan stood up and said with a smile: "Boss An."
An Zhixian: "Ms. Lin, you've been waiting for a long time. Please sit down."
Lin Jinyan: "Thank you very much, Boss An, for the New Year's gift. It was too expensive and I couldn't find a suitable gift in return, so I made a tassel first and added it after I found the gift."
An Zhixian lowered his head and picked up the jade pendant at his waist, with a gentle smile in his eyes:
"Ms. Lin is so polite. Mr. An likes it very much."
Lin Jinyan: "Boss An is really unfathomable. He quietly dug a secret passage in my shop and dug out a stone door. He was so unaware that no one was alerted."
An Zhixian: "Isn't Miss Lin blaming Mr. An for not saying hello in advance?"
Lin Jinyan: "No, I'm just amazed. How did Boss An avoid such a big move?"
An Zhixian glanced around the room with a calm smile:
"Ever since I fell in love with this house, I have had the idea of digging a secret passage. Every day when there is noisy street, my people are digging a secret passage. As for the stone door on the wall of Tai Feng Food Store, I can't find it in seven days. Disaster."
Lin Jinyan raised her eyebrows: "I see. It seems that giving the shop assistants a holiday during the New Year has made Boss An's people work harder."
Pingyang Houfu.
In the Nuan Pavilion, Feng Sinian was painting, while Chu Chengping was holding hot tea and standing aside to watch. The two brothers chatted from time to time.
There was a knock on the door, and Feng Sinian's personal entourage came in to report that the imperial concubine had personally stewed the hot soup and delivered it.
Feng Sinian's friendly smile was reduced by two points:
"Just say that we are in the mood for painting and don't want to be disturbed."
He followed suit, exited the room and closed the door again.
Chu Chengping: "The relationship between you and your cousin has not improved yet? There is still a long way to go in your life. Are you going to keep doing this?"
Feng Sinian: "She and I got married after being arranged by the Queen. Although we don't have much admiration, we can at least respect each other as guests and protect her for the rest of our lives. You also know what happened next. The marriage was not what I wanted. What happened to her The nature of the Duke’s Mansion…is also contrary to that of the Marquis Mansion.”
As he spoke, Feng Sinian straightened up:
"It's good to be like this now. She is still the third young lady of the Duke of Qin's Palace and the eldest concubine of the Marquis of Pingyang."
Chu Chengping said sadly: "But I am not your lover... If it weren't for my mother and me, you would have had this marriage..."
Feng Sinian interrupted: "Okay, why are you talking about this again? Don't talk about me. Last time I saw my aunt, she still mentioned your marriage to me. Are you going to keep delaying it? At your age You can’t delay it for long, do you really want to wait for His Majesty to propose marriage to you?”
Chu Chengping sighed: "I would like my father to propose marriage, but the person he proposes to marry is not the person I want."
Feng Sinian joked: "Are you still thinking about the girl from the Lin family? Then you may not have a chance."
Chu Chengping followed Feng Sinian's footsteps, sat at the table, leaned forward and asked:
"Why no chance?"
Feng Sinian drank tea with a smile. Seeing that Chu Chengping was impatient, Guan Zi quietly said:
"Yesterday Mr. Tang Ge came to visit my grandfather to play chess. During the chat, he mentioned that Mrs. Lin seemed to intend to give the girl from the Lin family to Zhixian."
