After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

The situation was extremely critical. If Lin Cheng had not happened to pass by and decisively helped, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The wife of the Prime Minister was very grateful to Lin Cheng, thanked him repeatedly, and warmly invited him to her house to express her gratitude. Lin Cheng readily agreed, and since then the two families have frequent exchanges and their relationship has become closer.

The Zuo Xiang couple admired Lin Cheng's talent and character very much, and they had the idea of ​​marrying him. So they sent someone to the Lin family to convey this idea to Lin Jinxiu, the eldest sister of the Lin family, and wanted them to ask Lin Cheng about his wishes.

When Lin Jinxiu was receiving the visitors from the Shen family, Lin Chuyi happened to be present. It was not until then that Lin Chuyi learned about Lin Cheng's heroic rescue of a beautiful girl on the street that day. After politely seeing the visitor off, she went straight to find Lin Cheng and asked him what he thought about the matter.

The initial impression Shen Yi left on Lin Cheng was that of a quiet and shy girl. After all, they were in public, so Lin Cheng couldn't stare at the girl all the time, so he just glanced at her hurriedly.

After Lin Cheng returned to the mansion, he went straight to the study to start reading. However, when he inadvertently glanced at the pile of information that Lin Chuyi gave him, he unexpectedly found the portrait of Shen Yi sandwiched in it.

Lin Chuyi's painting skills are naturally beyond doubt. Lin Cheng only took a glance and immediately recognized that the person in the portrait was Shen Yi. It turned out that his second sister also favored Miss Shen?

Lin Cheng's heart couldn't help but feel a ripple, but this ripple was fleeting and he soon returned to calm.

He put away the things on the table and focused his attention on the book again. Before long, he completely forgot about saving people on the street.

What Lin Cheng did not expect was that Lin Chuyi would actually take the initiative to mention Shen Yi in front of him.

After knowing the whole story, Lin Cheng fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly said, "Miss Shen and I have only met once. If I decide on marriage hastily like this, wouldn't it be too rash?"

Lin Chuyi raised her eyebrows. This was a possible situation. If her brother didn't want to, he would have refused directly. But he asked this question now, which showed that he had a good impression of the girl.

"It's okay. If you have no problem, I will make an appointment with the people from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion to go to Putuo Temple to burn incense. After we get there, you two can meet formally. Whether it will work out depends on your own wishes. If you meet at the temple, it won't harm the girl's reputation if it doesn't work out."

Lin Cheng nodded in agreement, "Okay, Second Sister will arrange it."

Three days later, the sun rose in the east, covering the streets and alleys of Kyoto with a layer of golden gauze. On such a vibrant day, Lin Jinxiu, Lin Chuyi and Lin Cheng got on a carriage and set off for Putuo Temple.

Today is the day they agreed with the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They will formally meet with the people from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion at Putuo Temple.

When they arrived at Putuo Temple, they found that the wife of the Left Prime Minister, Mrs. Li, and Shen Yi had been waiting at the agreed location for a long time.

The wife of the Left Prime Minister truly loved her granddaughter Shen Yi. Shen Yi's biological mother had always been in poor health, so Shen Yi was raised by this old woman since she was a child.

After Shen Yi's biological mother passed away, the wife of the left prime minister took Shen Yi with her and taught her carefully. Shen Yi's father, Shen Qing, was not good at the affairs of the harem, so he simply handed over all the family affairs to his mother.

This blind date has not been finalized yet, it is just for the two children to come out and get to know each other, but the wife of the Left Prime Minister personally accompanied them, which shows how much she values ​​her granddaughter Shen Yi.

Over the years, Lin Jinxiu had gone through many ups and downs, seen all kinds of people and things, and had gained sufficient experience. With the help of the knowledgeable Lin Chuyi, the two of them had a very pleasant conversation with the wife of the left prime minister.

The two sides had in-depth discussions on many topics in a harmonious atmosphere. During the lively conversation, the relationship between the two sides became closer.

On the other side, the atmosphere between Lin Cheng and Shen Yi seemed a little subtle in comparison.

After separating from their respective families, the two of them came together to the lotus pond of Putuo Temple. The maids and servants stood quietly by the roadside, keeping watch for the two of them, leaving them alone.

Lin Cheng followed Shen Yi's steps and walked slowly until they reached the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond and stopped. They sat down at the stone table. During this time, the two remained silent and said nothing.

Finally, it was Lin Cheng who broke the silence first, "Miss Shen, let's get started."

Shen Yi looked up at him, then lowered her head and said "hmm" softly in response.

"Then let me introduce myself first. My surname is Lin, my given name is Cheng, my courtesy name is Zi'an, I just turned 20 this year, and I'm from Qingzhou. My parents passed away when I was young, and I only have three older sisters left in my family."

"In recent years, Qingzhou has developed rapidly, and I have also started some businesses in partnership with others. Currently, I own six properties, a farm and two shops..."

The more Shen Yi listened, the more strange it felt. Before Lin Cheng finished speaking, she looked up at him and said with a puzzled look on her face, "Mr. Lin, please forgive me for asking, but when we come out to see each other, do we need to report each other's assets?"

Lin Cheng saw that the girl in front of him finally had another reaction on her face, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.

He bowed to Shen Yi, then replied calmly, "This is my first time seeing each other, and I don't know the specific rules. However, I think seeing each other is probably a process for men and women to get to know each other."

"I like you, so I naturally hope to tell you the truth about my situation so that you can have a clearer understanding of me. Is there anything wrong with doing this?"

After saying that, Lin Cheng looked at Shen Yi with a smile, and there was some sincerity and calmness in that smile.

His eyes were as clear as water, as if he could see through Shen Yi's inner thoughts. Shen Yi was a little overwhelmed by Lin Cheng's straightforward reply.

After all, people in Kyoto always speak in a roundabout way, and this is the first time she has met someone as direct as Lin Cheng.

Especially when she heard Lin Cheng say the four words "I like you", Shen Yi's face began to heat up uncontrollably, and turned red in a few seconds.

She couldn't help but lower her head to hide her gaffe, and secretly regretted in her heart, how could she be so easily affected by the other party's words?
