Zhou Yuexue wanted to go to the General's Mansion, and even more, she wanted to live in the Lin Mansion. The old lady didn't pick on her, so she had no choice but to stay.
When Lin Jinan saw this, he looked at Lin Jinyan beside him and secretly said that his sister knew things like a god.
After getting into the carriage, Lin Jinyan took out three gifts for the two of them to choose from.
Lin Jinan and Lin Wanrong were worried that the gifts they prepared were too thin. After seeing what Lin Jinyan brought out, they instantly felt relieved and praised Lin Jinyan for a while.
Lin Jinan: "Although I don't have to go to the General's Mansion with my cousin today, I will see her in the general's mansion often in the future. It is not a gentleman's behavior to discuss people behind their backs, but my cousin's behavior is too utilitarian and hypocritical, which makes people dislike her. "
Lin Wanrong: "It's not that everyone doesn't like it, my eldest brother likes it quite a lot. Two days ago, my eldest brother came to visit my grandmother. I accidentally saw him stuffing money into a girl named Xiaohuan in Songmao Hall, saying that her cousin was here. Xiaohuan is delivering a message to eldest brother."
Lin Jinan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a worried expression:
"Paying off the maid in grandma's yard to deliver the message? The eldest brother is just...that's all, the left and right families are divided. But this little ring, Yan'er, you have to deal with it."
Lin Jinyan looked at Lin Wanrong and saw that although her expression was as usual, her hands tightened unconsciously.
Lin Jinyan knew in her heart that Lin Wanrong was not gossiping, but deliberately said it to let herself know. It seemed that the little rabbit had begun to show its fangs, which was good.
"Xiaohuan has just been here for less than a year. Maybe he still doesn't know the stakes. I will take care of the matter. Brother and sister don't have to worry. Even if my cousin comes to stay for a short time, it won't be long."
Lin Jinan was puzzled: "Why is this?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "Brother, you have forgotten that my cousin has become a grown-up girl. Seeing that the period of filial piety is coming soon, my cousin must be anxious."
General's Mansion.
The three of them entered the front hall and heard the sound of weapons clashing. Upon hearing the sound, they saw Gu Yichen and Mr. Ran competing, while Gu Hongzhang, Gu Qingyun and Gu Ruizhou sat watching.
As soon as he sat down after greeting the elders, Gu Yichen was distracted when the sharp sword in his hand was picked out by Young Master Ran.
Looking at Gu Yichen who picked up the sword and walked happily towards this side, Gu Ruizhou smiled and said:
"Yichen, you lost again. An'er, Yan'er, and Wanrong are all watching."
Gu Yichen greeted the three of them and handed the sword to the servant:
"I lost because I was distracted when I heard them coming. It's all my own family, so there's no shame in it. Besides, Brother Ran's martial arts is already better than mine, so there's no shame in losing to Brother Ran."
Gu Hongzhang smiled and scolded: "You are not as skilled as others, yet you dare to be distracted and make excuses for yourself when you lose. You are already getting married, and you are not as calm as An'er."
Gu Yichen: "They say that nephews follow uncles. An'er only looks calm on the surface, but he has many more evil ideas in his heart than me."
Gu Qingyun: "Hey! You're such a skinny guy, you dare to make plans for me, Zhou'er, give me a beating."
Hearing this, Gu Yichen hurriedly stepped back and said:
"Hey... Dad, just talk, why are you using your hands? Today is my mother's birthday. If I get beaten, my mother will feel bad."
Mr. Ran followed Gu Yichen and asked for a hand stove while several people were talking. At this moment, the servants brought it, and Mr. Ran took it and gave it to Lin Jinyan.
Everyone else looked at Gu Yichen. Only Lin Jinan, who was beside Lin Jinyan, noticed this scene.
