Marrying Gold and Jade

When I woke up the next day, my hands felt soft and elastic.

Lin Yu thought in his sleepy state: Xiao Lan is still here.

It was more energetic at night than during the day, and its tail especially liked to wrap around her waist. Lin Yu was once woken up by it in the middle of the night, and she just hit its head randomly.

Only after being hit hard will it relax a little.

I don’t know how long I will have to take care of it.

The women in the rear house were always free. Lin Yu would sometimes play the piano, but more often she would grow flowers.

Now I have one more job, which is raising snakes for people.

It was really treated well, because all the maids in the courtyard were afraid of it. Now that it had grown into a giant python, people kept a distance from it.

So Lin Yu had to take care of it herself. Before she had even had breakfast, she put a bowl of cut raw meat in front of it.

Xiao Lan had only eaten medicinal herbs before and had never seen such food before. He crouched down and carefully leaned forward to sniff.

At first Lin Yu was afraid that he was not interested, but later he saw him eating with relish, swallowing the meat strips quickly.

By the time I finished my breakfast, the bowl containing the meat strips was empty.

"Is it so edible?"

It is not very energetic during the day. After eating and drinking, it curls up in its nest and does not move for a long time.

Lin Yu began to think about Xu Jinxuan.

Perhaps it was because his beloved pet was in front of him that Lin Yu thought to himself, why was he so busy? He was busy looking for a new wife.

He would have to meet many, many girls before he could choose his princess.

She was anxious and jealous, but at the same time she thought, so what? It was clearly she who rejected the marriage and she clearly didn't want to marry him.

But I just can't bear to see him marry someone else.

Life like this is not easy.

She wanted to see him very much.

Xu Jinxuan was silent that day.

However, Lin Ji, after being bitten by a snake, became worried about Lin Yu every day and would go to see Lin Yu as soon as he came back from the government office.

The weather was getting cold, so she set up a charcoal brazier in her room early, and it felt warm as soon as she stepped into it.

A slim girl was leaning on a beauty couch reading a book, a giant light blue python was coiled at her feet, the snake's head rising higher and higher until it wrapped around the girl's calf, outlining the shape of her calf through her skirt.

In response, Lin Yu simply raised his other foot and stepped on it lightly.

Seeing that it was unmoved, he returned to his senses and continued reading.

Beauty, python.

Lin Ji clenched his fists and asked Qingdai outside the door which snake it was.

Qingdai spoke quickly and told the truth: "It was the little snake from yesterday. It insisted on getting into the tub when the girl was bathing, and it swelled up to this size after soaking in the water!"

Lin Yu seemed to be used to Xiao Lan sticking around him, but no one else in the yard was.

Especially Lin Ji heard it. It was when Lin Yu was bathing that the thing entered the bath water.

"Evil beast."

It was this sound that attracted Lin Yu to discover him standing outside the door.

"My brother is here."

She put down the book and sat up straight, then she saw the little blue head beside her legs raised up, staring at the man outside the door motionlessly.

As if ready to attack at any time.

Seeing the man outside the door stepping in, Lin Yu clearly felt that his calves were wrapped tighter by it.

"Alright!" She grabbed the snake's head and scolded, "If you bite anyone again, I will throw you out right away!"

Xiao Lan understood and felt very aggrieved.

Then it goes along the person's wrist and quietly wraps upwards.

But it was now much thicker than Lin Yu's wrist, and a few circles had wrapped around the girl's slender arm.

Lin Yu pushed it again, and it reluctantly went around and landed back at Lin Yu's feet, no longer making the defensive and attacking gesture it had at the beginning.

But Lin Ji knew that it was still staring at him.

It understands some human nature and seems to understand the intention of its owner sending it here.

Guard Lin Yu and don't let yourself get close.

"How long will it take to raise it?" Lin Ji finally managed to move his eyes upwards to Lin Yu's face.

The girl shook her head, "I don't know either. Anyway, I'm at home every day, so it won't be difficult to take care of it."

Lin Ji said "hmm".

No one spoke for a long time.

Perhaps he was not used to the fact that when he was talking to Lin Yu, there was such a beast with a little bit of human nature listening in.

He disliked this thing as much as he disliked its owner.

"Right now, I have a solution." The man lowered his eyes, his gaze locked on the dark blue snake scales, "I don't need to embarrass you, nor my father. I will make sure that man will never threaten our family again."

Lin Yu immediately asked: "What method?"

She seems to be wavering these days.

At one point I hated him so hard and firmly that I wished I would never see him again.

For a moment, my heart was moved by his words and I didn't want to be away from him even for a moment.

After not seeing her for two days, she seemed to be more inclined to the former, so when Lin Ji said this, she immediately perked up.

Lin Ji, however, was more relaxed than her. After careful consideration, he told her, "After all, he has not returned to Beijing yet. If he wants to gain a firm foothold after returning to Beijing, he cannot do without the support of the old officials in the court."

"When I went to the capital to take the imperial examination, I met many old officials. They each supported different princes. If they united and put pressure on him, he would not be able to achieve anything."

Lin Yu didn't think this method was very useful, so he just asked, "Will those officials in the capital come forward for me?"

"Not only for you, but also for the prince who serves them." Lin Ji said, "I will call Shen Lian and ask him to ask with me."

Shen Lian has the support of Grand Tutor Shen, and according to Cheng Kejia, Grand Tutor Shen has an extremely high status.

Maybe he could defeat the fledgling Xu Jinxuan.

Lin Yu asked again: "Will it be troublesome?"

"No," Lin Ji never looked at her, only staring at the giant python at her feet, "but you have to think clearly, after this, you may never see him again."

Never seen again.

When I heard this and thought of this possibility, my heart ached and even my body trembled slightly.

But in the end, she put her hand to her chest and replied woodenly: "Okay, as long as you don't have to marry him."

Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he stood up and said, "Then I will go and prepare now."

Lin Yu thought he was going to write a letter to ask for help, so she stood up and said, "Thank you, brother."

The tall and jade-like man walked out of the door, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Yu squatting down and touching the body of the evil beast as if to comfort him.

This evil creature dared to get into Lin Yu's bathtub and even insisted on sleeping with him at night.

Lin Ji stared at him for a long time, with the murderous intent in his heart lingering for a long time.

Who does it think it is that it needs the person dearest to it to please it?

Lin Ji took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his dark eyes were clear, as if the flash of hostility just now was just an illusion. He, the newly crowned top scholar, had always been noble and not like an ordinary person.

He lied to Lin Yu, and his excuse was actually very poor. I'm afraid only a girl who had never been involved in court affairs would believe it.

That man is a prince, a descendant of a royal family, and is undoubtedly more noble than himself.

But that would have to wait until he returned to the imperial capital and was crowned and given the title.

Why should we ask him to go back?
