Marrying Gold and Jade

Shen Lian came back to his senses and said, "It seems that your mother and mother hit it off immediately."

That's why there were toasts in the hall, but the two of them were strolling around in the night with candlelight.

When talking about marriage, girls usually look shy.

But Lin Yu couldn't be shy at this time, and didn't want to pretend in front of others, so she asked him directly: "What do you think?"

I met Shen Lian today, and to be fair, he is a very nice person.

My mother is also a very open-minded person. If she likes something, she will not forget to let me see it with my own eyes.

But Lin Yu knew very well that she would rather stay in her familiar home than marry him.

Shen Lian was not clear about her thoughts. To him, a gentleman would not take away what others like.

He had already seen through Lin Ji's thoughts and could not simply regard the person in front of him as an unmarried girl.

Meeting the girl's bright gaze, he didn't want to say anything too harsh, for fear of embarrassing her.

"I……"

"what!"

Shen Lian's words were interrupted by a woman's scream.

The two of them looked together from the pavilion and could only vaguely see a man and a woman. The two were too close to each other, to the point where "do not look at what is inappropriate."

Lin Ji couldn't help feeling a little annoyed as he struggled to push the woman apart.

He didn't know when Wan Ying followed him out.

After playing the piano, Lin Yu never came back.

Shen Lian, who was called away, has not returned yet.

He knew Shen Lian's character, and he knew that even if Lin Yu was with him, he would not be in danger.

But... I just can't calm down.

I found this place alone and didn't even notice Wan Ying following me.

Her methods were crude and simple, and she performed an unstable role.

Lin Ji has already found out that she is secretly communicating with others, but he has never been able to catch her in the act, let alone find out who is behind it.

Although this woman seemed to admire him, she was actually very wary of him.

"I'm sorry, brother. I really can't handle the alcohol..."

After speaking haltingly, she deliberately leaned towards the man's chest, but was pushed away by the man without a word.

"Stand still."

"I can't stand still..."

"Then go back and rest."

The moonlight is very bright tonight, outlining the man's outline clearly yet hazily.

Wan Ying pretended to be drunk, and tried to hug the man's neck, "Brother, carry me back..."

Lin Ji was already extremely annoyed. He pulled her by the collar, but tried to suppress the urge to throw her away.

"Master Ji?"

The slender knuckles paused.

The girl in front of him, whose face was blurred, bumped into his arm, and this time he pulled it away mercilessly.

Wan Ying noticed his stiffness and turned her head hesitantly.

It’s Indigo.

After all, it was the Lin family who hosted the banquet, and it would be embarrassing if news of a secret meeting between a man and a woman spread, so Lin Yu asked her to come and remind the two of them.

Who would have thought that they were two family members.

Qing Dai always speaks her mind, even when she is talking to Lin Ji, she is still blunt: "Sir, there are many people at home today, it is inappropriate to act like this."

Lin Ji didn't react for a moment.

Wan Ying, who was scolded for this, didn't feel like sticking to him anymore and finally she was able to stand on her own.

Qing Dai had never been kind to her. She almost glared at her before saying unceremoniously, "Master, please go back. I will take my leave first."

Back at the water pavilion, Qingdai didn't act as aggressively as usual because of the presence of Shen Lian, a stranger.

Lin Yu asked: "Who is it?"

She controlled her temper and replied, "It was Master Ji and Miss Wanying. Miss Wanying seemed to have drunk too much and was acting crazy."

But the scene of the two of them pulling each other just now could be seen clearly from the pavilion.

Lin Yu felt that this matter was awkward, and said casually: "Compared to me, my brother seems to like Wan Ying more."

Of course Shen Lian knew that this was not the case, but he didn't know how to explain it to others.

The marriage that had just been mentioned was now quietly passed over.

As a good friend, he secretly made up his mind to remind Lin Ji once.

The wind passed through the courtyard without leaving a trace.

When Lin Ji returned to the banquet, he felt that the days passed by were like years. It was not until the second half that he saw the two of them coming back.

Ruan was anxious about her daughter's marriage, and as soon as she sat down, she asked her quietly, "How is it going?"

There was nothing wrong with Shen Lian, but if I agreed, my mother would definitely urge me to get married.

"We only met once, so I don't know what he is like."

Ruan said: "I have asked his wet nurse, and she said that children should look after their parents. His wet nurse is a calm and easy-going person. If you marry her, your life will definitely be comfortable."

Lin Yu was still unwilling to rush: "Let's talk about it later."

At the same time, Shen Lian also replied ambiguously: "Ms. Lin is naturally a very good person."

Unlike Ruan's questioning, Aunt Qin stopped asking after hearing this and only planned to report the matter to the Grand Tutor.

If he nods, the marriage will be settled.

She was also very satisfied when she met Lin Yu today. The Shen family had few people, and it would be a wonderful thing if they could add such a pretty young lady.

On the way back to Yaoguang Courtyard after the banquet, Lin Yu was a little confused.

Qingdai couldn't hold it in any longer and complained about what had just happened behind her back.

"I was really shocked at that time. How could I have expected that Master Ji would do such an outrageous thing?"

"Today is his birthday party, but he actually came out to have a private meeting with that person from Changrui Pavilion. I really don't know what he was thinking!"

But at this moment, Lin Yu thought more about his mother's words than Lin Ji.

Ruan said that if she missed Shen Lian, other people would contact her, and told her to seize the opportunity.

But she was also very clear that she was not yet at the point where she had to marry Shen Lian.

And Shen Lian was also lukewarm towards him.

He stopped in front of a small courtyard, where the lights in the houses were still on.

Regardless of Qingdai still muttering about Lin Ji, she stretched out her hand to the person: "Snacks."

Qingdai stopped talking and handed the food box to her.

I thought Lin Yu took it back as a midnight snack, but now I understand that it was specially brought for the little mute.

The two of them stayed at the gate of the courtyard. Lin Yu walked forward with the food box and knocked on the door twice.

"Are you asleep?"

Since no one inside came to open the door, there was naturally no way to answer.

After a long time, Lin Yu had no choice but to raise his hand and knock on the door again.

This time, the door finally opened.

Mingyuan's clothes were not properly worn, with part of his collar showing, and he exuded a hot and damp aura.

She quickly responded, "Are you taking a shower?"

The boy blinked awkwardly, but nodded.

Lin Yu originally wanted to find someone to talk to, but somehow, when she thought of him busily getting out of the bath, wiping his body, and putting on clothes, her cheeks became hot unconsciously.

"Then... go to bed early. This is for you."

Ming Yuan didn't rush to answer it. His eyes were fixed on her face, as if asking, "You come here so late just to bring you food, don't you have anything to say?"

Lin Yu originally wanted to speak.

Tell him all your troubles and hesitations, and he will never tell anyone else.

But just now she remembered something.

Mingyuan probably likes me.

If I tell him about getting married, wouldn't he be very distressed?
