The two chatted for a few words and then started talking about business.
Lin Jinyan: "My people in Binzhou have been rescued by Tianjimen. Thank you Master Feng for passing the message. Boss Lao'an would like to thank me."
"He did this in exchange for the jade pendant of the young master of Tianjimen. It's not a help, so don't take it to heart."
Bai Zhi and the waiter came in carrying medicinal meals. An Zhixian was about to tell the waiter to get two dishes when Zhu Qing came in with a food box.
It was said that Lin Jinyan was a guest and there was no reason to ask the guest to help on an empty stomach. As he spoke, he placed all the dishes in the food box in front of Lin Jinyan:
"Ms. Lin, I don't know if the dishes prepared casually are to your liking, so just use some of them."
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Jinyan to respond, he bowed and left with a smile.
Seeing this, An Zhixian raised his eyebrows slightly with satisfaction, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile:
"It's not good for Miss Lin to watch me eat when she's hungry."
Lin Jinyan looked at some of her favorite dishes in front of her, and picked up her bowls and chopsticks when she heard An Zhixian praising the delicious medicinal food.
After eating, An Zhixian didn't want to leave a weak impression on Lin Jinyan, so he drank the medicine bowl in one gulp without even frowning.
Holding back the bitter taste, he put down the bowl calmly, looked at the abundant tea in front of him, and looked up at Lin Jinyan. His eyes were filled with light, and even the bitter taste in his mouth was a little lighter.
Lin Jinyan: "Do you need candied fruit?"
An Zhixian, who was holding a cup of tea, heard this and his thoughts drifted away for a moment, his face looked lonely and sad. When he put down the cup, his smile returned:
"I'm not a toddler, so I'm not that delicate."
Lin Jinyan saw that moment of loneliness in her eyes without asking. Seeing that An Zhixian had finished drinking the medicine, she stood up and left to let him rest.
Lin Jinyan ordered Wei Zhong to stop the carriage at a corner not far from Lin's house and wait quietly. Suddenly something occurred to her and she looked at Hong Jiu:
"After something happened at Boss An's house, was it always Uncle An who took care of him?"
Hong Jiu nodded: "Yes."
"Then have you ever met Boss An's parents?"
Hong Jiu: "I've never seen him before. When I met Boss An, something happened in his family."
Lin Jinyan: "How old was he then?"
"Ten years old."
Lin Jinyan felt distressed and sighed:
"I think Boss An's parents should be very gentle and kind people, but it's a pity..."
Lin Jinan opened the curtain and got into the carriage: "What's the pity?"
"It's nothing. Judging from the look on my brother's face, the troupe is singing well?"
Seeing Lin Jinyan's joking smile, Lin Jinan raised his hand and poked her forehead:
"Brother, you are making fun of me too. You should be beaten."
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and ordered Wei Zhong to drive back home. They talked to Lin Jinan about meeting Song Yi. Seeing Lin Jinan's expression of surprise, they also said that Song Yi was now Chu Chengyao's guard and should be careful when getting along.
Back in the mansion, I heard that the sister of the Minister of Punishment was visiting the mansion. After Lin Jinyan went back to her room to change clothes, she took Bai Zhi to Songmao Hall.
After greeting each other, the girl in Mushan purple clothes looked at Lin Jinyan with a friendly smile and admiration:
"Ms. Lin was painting at the flower party. It was an unforgettable sight. I have always wanted to get acquainted with Miss Lin, but I didn't find the opportunity, so I took the liberty to visit Yue Xue in her name. My maiden name is Qi Yan, and everyone in my family calls me Yan'er."
Zhou Yuexue: "Auntie, you don't know that Yan'er often talks about Sister Jinyan in my ears. My ears are calloused."
The old lady already had a good impression of the smiling Qi Yan, and she was even more satisfied when she saw that Qi Yan praised Lin Jinyan a lot, and invited Qi Yan to come and sit in the house often.
After some polite banter and banter, Lin Jinyan and Qi Yan also hit it off and agreed to visit each other often in the future. (End of chapter)
