Marrying Gold and Jade

The engagement was set first, but Lin Yu decided to postpone the wedding date.

Lin Ji knew that she was trapped by the love poison, and tacitly revealed the poison to her. He asked again: "How can I get rid of the poison?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yu became even more distressed.

She rushed forward in asking someone to adopt her as her daughter and to help Princess Feng return home, but she never thought about what to do with the love poison.

With this thing, even if I marry Lin Ji, I will still be entangled with Xu Jinxuan for the rest of my life.

"A Yu?"

After a long period of no response, Lin Ji called her.

"This Gu..." Lin Yu closed his eyes in self-abandonment, "I have to give birth to a child with him!"

It's quiet in my ears.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the man staring into deep thought, but she had no idea what he was thinking about.

That day Lin Ji only said: "Give me some time, let me think carefully."

Since the last time, Lin Ji has roughly figured out the pattern of the love poison's attack, and also knows how those people can help her relieve it, but... the child.

Offspring are a big deal, so of course he hopes that Lin Yu will break up with anyone completely, but if there is a child, it will probably lead to endless entanglement.

After several months in Beijing, Lin Ji returned to the government office with a pile of urgent matters that needed to be dealt with.

Only by devoting himself to official duties can he be temporarily rescued from the love poison.

He was so focused at the time that Cao Shun had to come in to remind him, so he missed lunch.

Lin Ji put down the document and stood up. Unexpectedly, when he reached the door of the second hall, he saw two unfamiliar clerks leaning against the pillars of the corridor, gossiping without restraint.

"Running back and forth between the north and the south, trying to get both the county lord and the official post. It's better to be reborn than to be able to take the imperial examination. If I could marry a county lord or a princess, why would I still be bullied here?"

The man who was speaking had a well-proportioned body, but he was too thin for a man. The man opposite him was big and strong. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You look like a rabbit. I heard that those princesses and princesses would recruit a bunch of male assistants in addition to their husbands. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Tsk, I don't even care about fawning on women..."

The two men laughed for a while, chatted outside, turned around and walked towards the house.

Facing the person coming towards me, my legs and feet froze.

It was the "Rabbit God" who reacted first, and changed his tone and said with a smile: "It's already this late, and the governor hasn't gone to have lunch yet."

The rough guy around him glanced around, but in the end he could only carefully look at Lin Ji's face. If he just happened to come out from inside, he must not have heard much.

But after looking at him again and again, there was no anger on his face, but I couldn't read any emotion either. He was as cold and indifferent as a bodhisattva.

"Just on the way." He said he was going to have lunch.

Seeing that he had no intention of pursuing the matter, the rough man immediately laughed and said, "Then I will not delay you, sir. Please go in first."

The gate was obviously very spacious, but the two men stood respectfully by the door, giving way to the people inside.

Lin Ji was not humble at all. He stepped over the threshold, looking like he had heard nothing.

Prime Minister Rabbit had spoken the most just now, and he patted his chest secretly.

Just as I raised my foot again, I heard a voice behind me: "Wait--"

His back foot tripped on the threshold, and only thanks to the help of the person he was walking with, did he avoid falling flat on his face.

"Sir, do you have any instructions?" The man cursed in his heart, but he could only continue to smile apologetically after standing still.

Lin Ji said: "It is inappropriate to gossip behind people's backs in the government office."

The two looked at each other. The difference in their body sizes made the action particularly obvious, but they both understood in their hearts.

They could only bow together and say, "Please forgive me, sir."

Lin Ji looked between the two men, and finally landed on the rougher man, "The county lady's mansion does not recruit staff, and slandering the county lady is a capital crime."

"Excuse me, my lord!"

The man knelt down immediately. The thin and pale man beside him thought that he was also involved, so he accepted his fate and knelt down as well.

I heard him babble, "My heart is blinded by greed and I am naturally a bad-mouthed person. Please forgive me this time!"

Both of them were over 25 years old, had failed in the imperial examinations, and had just been offered two small ninth-rank official posts in the government office at the beginning of the year, posts so small that if Lin Jiruo was not satisfied, he could replace them with just one word.

He was thinking about what to say to make amends and raised his eyes quietly, but saw Lin Ji's eyes moved away and fixed on the rabbit statue beside him.

They both wondered what he was looking at, but after a while, Lin Ji just said, "I don't like it."

After saying this, he turned around and left without caring that the two men were still kneeling.

However, Cao Shun, who was following beside him, reacted and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing the two men looking at each other in bewilderment, as if they didn't understand what he said at all, he kindly explained, "The prefect is saying that even if the county lord wants to recruit staff, he won't look down on people like you."

It's not that it's difficult to judge the crime, and the harm is not great.

But the Rabbit Prime Minister's face turned green after hearing this, which was obviously extremely insulting.

Cao Shun followed Lin Ji and walked a long way. He was still trying to hold back his laughter when he thought of that man's face.

Lin Ji could only turn around and look at him, "Is it that funny?"

Cao Shun had no choice but to say seriously: "I just didn't expect that you would expose him in person."

In the past, people in the Lin residence often gossiped about him, and Cao Shun got angry when he heard it, but Lin Ji just pretended not to hear it.

"Now that Ayu is the county lord, how can they have any say in her affairs?"

This explanation seemed to make sense, but in Cao Shun's opinion, Lin Ji himself had also changed.

He is a person who is most accustomed to swallowing his emotions. Even if he comes out to teach someone a lesson, how can he say words like "disdain"?

I think the marriage is settled, and I feel relieved.

He returned home on time that day and saw Lin Yu greeting him with a smile. Lin Ji seemed to have seen the days after marriage in advance.

"Brother, you haven't been to the government office for a few months. Are you busy today?"

Thanks to Lin Yu's decision, the plaque of the County Lady's Mansion has not been hung yet, otherwise he would not be able to enter and leave as he pleases.

Before Lin Ji could reply, Cao Shun spoke first: "The young master is not only busy today, but he also rejected an aide for the young lady."

"Cao Shun!"

Cao Shun stopped smiling guiltily, but it still aroused Lin Yu's curiosity.

"What staff?" Seeing that Lin Ji's calm face suddenly showed signs of awkwardness, Lin Yu turned to Cao Shun and said, "Cao Shun, you say, I am the county lord now, I am the boss!"

The implication is that there is no need to be afraid of Lin Ji holding you accountable.

This was originally a funny thing, so Cao Shun naturally explained everything in detail, and especially emphasized Lin Ji's "disdain", which made Lin Yu laugh darkly.

When she thought about it after dinner, she would still laugh to herself.

Ever since Lin Ji said that, people have been teasing him about it. Compared to Cao Shun, he felt more guilty towards Lin Yu, as if he had been caught with something.

After thinking about it more carefully, it seemed not very decent for her to be engaged to Lin Yu and humiliate the "man outside" like a principal wife.

"I... won't talk about it anymore."

As soon as Lin Yu saw his expression, he knew that he had misunderstood, and immediately said: "Why don't you say it? Brother not only has to say it, but also has to go around in front of him and let him see what the difference is."

"And then he said, 'If you don't look like me, don't even think about it'..."

The second half of the sentence deliberately imitated Lin Ji's tone of voice, but he pretended not to be able to imitate it, which was very funny.

Lin Ji was teased by her, and he found it funny but also embarrassed, so he had to hold her arm and pretended to be displeased to pull her closer.
