Marrying Gold and Jade

As she jumped forward excitedly, Lin Ji's eyes fell on her bun, which seemed different from when they met in the morning.

The green jade hairpin was given to me as a present myself when I reached the age of 15.

Xu Jinxuan also stared at Lin Yu as he took that step. The person who was originally close to him suddenly moved away from him and became closer to Lin Ji.

When she realized that Lin Ji was looking at her head, Xu Jinxuan suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand to her bun.

Lin Yu quickly turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The hairpin is worn crookedly."

"Don't move, I'll help you."

Xu Jinxuan held her raised hand, and under Lin Ji's suspicious gaze, he moved the hairpin down a little, then up a little.

Li Quan was still waiting to take people to see the furnishings of the villa, but when he came out, he saw Lin Yu sandwiched between two men. One of them was fiddling with her hairpin with a smile, and the other had his back to them with an unclear expression, but he was also looking down and carefully.

In this situation, it was really inconvenient for others to disturb, so the old eunuch could only look away silently.

"All right."

Xu Jinxuan withdrew his hand but did not return to his original position. Lin Yu could almost feel the body temperature behind him.

I also heard him say, "I haven't practiced for a while. Is my hair combing still okay?"

Lin Yu felt a chill on his back.

Sure enough, when Lin Ji heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it.

Lin Yu quickly turned around and stepped back, finally putting some distance between himself and Xu Jinxuan.

"I want to be alone with my brother for a while."

When she said this, her eyes were open sincerely, looking up at people, with a hint of coaxing and flattering.

Xu Jinxuan didn't want to, didn't want to leave her alone with that bastard man.

"May I?"

Lin Yu asked timidly again.

"can."

As soon as he said this, Xu Jinxuan began to doubt himself.

Was he possessed by someone just now? He just stared at her for a while, and he actually agreed?

Lin Yu ignored his inner struggle and smiled, "Then I'll come to see you after lunch."

Lunch should be eaten alone with others.

Xu Jinxuan clenched his fists hanging at his sides.

Until she took the initiative to say: "I will stay in Chonghua Palace tonight."

"Row."

It can be seen that after not seeing Lin Ji for too long, the little guy can't accommodate anyone in his heart or eyes, and it would be an eyesore if he forced to stay.

Without even saying hello to Lin Ji, Xu Jinxuan didn't stay long this time and just turned around and left.

The girl in front of him was still watching him, so Lin Ji lowered his head and asked, "Are you okay in the palace?"

"Have you ever been sick again?"

When they parted on the boat that day, Lin Yu was running a fever. She leaned against the head of the bed with tears in her eyes and said she wanted to go home, but she was powerless.

Later, Lin Ji always had nightmares. He dreamed that Lin Yu was crying in a deserted hall, but he was trapped there, unable to move forward or make a sound.

I woke up in the middle of the night, half of my pillow was soaked with sweat.

Lin Yu knew of his concern, but perhaps people away from home are always accustomed to reporting good news but not bad news. She didn't intend to tell Lin Linji about her experiences when she first entered the palace.

Instead, she opened her arms and flew around in front of people like a butterfly.

"Brother, look at me. I am fine now."

Lin Ji was amused by this appearance, remembering that when she was a child, she made a new dress that she particularly liked and also swirled it in front of her like this.

As a result, he turned too many circles, became unsteady on his feet, fell to the ground, and started crying again.

I remember that when I was still young, I hurried forward, squatted down, picked him up and asked: "Where did you get hurt?"

A little girl of about four or five years old grabbed the hem of her skirt and held it in front of him, sobbing and saying, "It's dirty..."

Thinking of this, he laughed again.

But this aroused Lin Yu's dissatisfaction, and he deliberately put his hands on his waist and asked: "Brother, what did you think of that is so funny?"

He shook his head and said truthfully: "It reminded me of your childhood."

When talking about his childhood, Lin Yuke became excited. After all, the man in his memory was very simple, cold face, cold face, and cold face.

Lin Yu, who used to be the eldest daughter in the family, had one regret in her life, which was that she was not loved by her brother.

When she was twelve or thirteen, it was the age when girls began to fall in love for the first time. They all knew that she had a handsome and promising brother, so they could not help but ask her about him one by one.

What kind of person is she? What kind of personality is she? How does she treat her younger sister?

Lin Yu was also a girl favored by heaven. She was good at playing the musical instrument, well-read, and not to mention her appearance. But whenever Lin Ji was mentioned, she would definitely retreat away.

Without her, I would be ashamed.

After all, Lin Ji seldom wanted to talk to her, and he was eight years older than her, and the height difference had widened over the years. In her memory, he always looked down at her, arrogant, and cold. This was the deepest impression that young Lin Yu had.

Even if he changed later and even proposed to marry her, the impression formed over the years was too deep-rooted to be eradicated.

Until Emperor Xianzhen told her personally that Lin Ji returned to Songjiang for her.

"If my brother wants to talk about my childhood, there is one thing I don't understand."

Lin Ji hadn't seen her so lively for a long time. She looked just like she used to be carefree.

He no longer had to be as restrained as he was when he was young. With his eyes fixed on her, Lin Ji said, "You say."

Lin Yu had wanted to ask this for a long time. This was the perfect time, the right place, and the right people. It was a good opportunity to untie his knot.

"Why did you deliberately distance yourself from me in the past?"

The man's brows froze.

He didn't allow himself to get close to her at will, but to be honest, Lin Ji didn't think they were distant from each other.

"I carefully prepared gifts for your birthday every year. Except for one year when I had to take the imperial examination, I always went home to be with you."

Unlike the leisure time of a young girl, Lin Ji's youth was very tight and needed to be used prudently. Otherwise, he would regret it deeply if the girl grew up and got married before he achieved success.

After listening to his defense, Lin Yu looked a little strange, "Just... like this?"

Lin Ji didn't like to take credit for himself, so he thought for a moment and then said, "I returned home after graduating from high school at the beginning of this year. I remember my stepmother wanted to make a zither for you, so she invited a skilled craftsman from Kyoto."

This time Lin Yu paused.

The seven-stringed harp made of spruce wood was not only a coming-of-age gift from her parents, but also the most precious and cherished harp of Lin Yu.

She was quite surprised at that time that a skilled craftsman from the imperial capital could make a zither just for her. It turned out that there was Lin Ji, the man behind the scenes.

After thinking about it more deeply, I felt that this matter was indeed not simple. There must be many things that Lin Ji did that I didn't know about.

Or, he cares about everything and does everything behind her back, but just ignores her in person.

"What a strange person..."

For someone like her, who can express both likes and dislikes, it is naturally unimaginable that there are people in the world who like something very much on the one hand but at the same time are misunderstood as being very disgusted.

Especially, the one who misunderstood was yourself.

Seeing her mumbling something with her head down, Lin Ji was about to ask again, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a little eunuch rushing towards him.

The heart-to-heart talk with Lin Yu had to be put aside for now.

"Lord Lin is here. His Majesty is looking for you."
