On the roof not far from the Lin Mansion, a man wearing black clothes and a black scarf covering his face lay on the tiles with breathless concentration and stared at the Lin Mansion.
Waiting until midnight, watching the two figures emerge one after another from the Xiyuan of Lin Mansion and leaving in two directions, the man in black on the roof slowly straightened up and looked left and right at the two figures getting further and further away. Xie murmured:
"Why did Song Yi come to Lin Mansion? Who did he come to Lin Mansion to find? Who is this person after?"
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The man in black calmed down, looked at the direction in which the two people left, and used Qinggong to chase one of them.
The next day.
Just after the morning meal, Zhou's father, Zhou Huaili, brought some food and gifts and sent Zhou Yuexue and Shun'er to the Lin Mansion in person.
The master and servant took some simple clothes and salutes, and moved into Tingyu Pavilion again.
When she came to Songmao Hall to pay her respects, the old lady was beaming with joy, but Lin Yanqing had a calm expression:
"You are the eldest living here. There are three younger brothers and sisters in the family. They are at the age where they are learning to understand etiquette and wrongdoing. You should take care of them more."
There was nothing wrong with Zhou Huaili's words, and he thought it was because Lin Yanqing did not regard his daughter as an outsider, but in Zhou Yuexue's ears, it was extremely harsh.
Lin Yanqing knew all the things he did when he was a guest in the Lin Mansion when he was young. These words were clearly a slap on his face.
Zhou Huaili smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, this kid Yuexue is the most observant of etiquette, and he will definitely be a good leader for Jin'an and the others."
Lin Yanqing glanced at Zhou Yuexue who looked embarrassed, drank a cup of tea and did not answer.
Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "I will be able to help my cousin in the future."
Zhou Yuexue suppressed her emotions and said angrily with a smile on her face:
"Sister Jinyan, who knows that my sister's rules are the best, and I have to learn from you."
After seeing off Zhou Huaili, Lin Jinan talked about tomorrow's horse racing:
"We made an appointment before spring. He didn't want me to be distracted while I was preparing for the exam, so he postponed it until now. The two cousins will also go together. They are safe at the fourth prince's racecourse. The weather is getting warmer. I want to take Yan'er and the others with me. Let’s go out to the city together for a spring outing.”
The old lady smiled and said: "Okay, you have to play more and watch more while you are young, otherwise when your grandmother is old, she will not be able to walk long distances because of her bad legs, and she will have no intention of leaving the house. Yan'er is weak, so bring thick clothes and other clothes. Because of the cold wind, Wanrong was too timid to get close to the horse, so Yuexue followed her."
The three sisters smiled and agreed, while Lin Yanqing called Lin Jinan to the study alone and told him to be more careful when dealing with the prince.
In the evening, Lin Jinyun returned home as expected. He pestered the old lady and said a lot of sweet words, and got permission to go to the racecourse with Lin Jinan and the others. By the time he finished speaking, it was already very late, and the old lady was in a house near Lin Jinan. Let him stay overnight.
In the early morning, Lin Jinyan sat in front of the mirror, and Yutong combed Lin Jinyan's hair with a smile:
"The lady is so beautiful. Brushing her hair every day is as pleasing to the eye as admiring flowers."
Lin Jinyan laughed: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."
Yutong: "I don't know which handsome man from Zhilan Yushu can be worthy of the young lady in the future."
Bai Zhi, who was making the bed, said, "I'm afraid there will be smoke rising from the ancestral graves."
Agate, who was packing her clothes, also smiled and said, "That would be a big puff of green smoke."
Hong Jiu leaned on the door frame: "With such a huge smoke, the ancestral graves are not allowed to be burned?"
Bai Zhi and the other three were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed out loud.
Lin Jinyan said helplessly: "The more you talk, the more nonsense you get."
Agate: "Hong Jiu is really a blockbuster."
