Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu rarely left the yard, and Xiao Lan was always following him around, even lingering around the bathtub when he was bathing.

Qingdai was very brave, and after getting used to it a little bit in the past few days, she was not so afraid of it anymore. But Zhulian was not used to it, and she avoided it as far as possible.

Xiao Lan really understands some human nature. Zhu Lian was afraid and insisted on jumping to her feet, and the more she hid, the closer she got to her.

The result was that Lin Yu caught him and gave him a severe lesson: "It's fine if you provoke me, but you don't even let go of the people around me. If your sister Zhu Lian says something, I will kick you out immediately!"

After a few days, the skin and flesh absorbed less water, and its weight and size became smaller, so Lin Yu could lift it with one hand.

"Did you hear that?"

Of course Xiao Lan had no answer. She was put back to the ground and when she saw Zhu Lian again, she didn't go forward to scare him again.

In this way, Xiaolan gradually found a balance in Yaoguangyuan.

The only person it was wary of was Lin Ji. It wasn't just Xiao Lan's problem. Every time Lin Ji looked at it, his eyes were colder than Xiao Lan's with vertical pupils.

"You also have the temper of a child," Lin Yu said to him, "Little Blue understands human nature. If you don't like it, it will also dislike you."

Lin Ji then retracted his gaze and said, "Why should I like it?"

Lin Yu didn't want to mediate between this man and this snake every day, so sometimes he would leave Xiao Lan in the yard and run to Lin Ji's Qihe Hall.

Every time she came back, Xiao Lan would pester her severely, as if she was blaming her for abandoning her.

Lin Yu had to go to Cheng Kejia and Shen Lian's wedding banquet that day, so she naturally couldn't bring the dog with her. She carefully closed the windows in the room and told it to wait for her to come back.

Little Blue had been listless during the day and had recovered to its size of six or seven inches. Lin Yu personally put it into the nest and then asked Qingdai to lock the door.

"Everything is packed."

Ever since Xiao Lan entered the yard, Ruan has never come in again.

This time the invitation was only given to Lin Ji. Ruan and Lin Jianchang did not go with him. She only asked Lin Ji to bring Lin Yu with him.

Seeing Lin Yu nod, he personally helped her into the sedan chair.

He also reminded: "There are many people here today, remember to listen to Aji and find him if you have any problem."

Lin Yu: "I've noted it all down, don't worry, mother."

Outside the door, Lin Ji was waiting under the carriage.

He got on the car first and reached out to her again.

The journey was relatively smooth. Lin Yu thought carefully about Xu Jinxuan's matter and asked about it once during the journey.

Lin Ji did not tell her his plan, but just said that everything was going according to plan and told her not to worry.

The wedding banquet was held at Shen Lian’s official residence in Huating County. It was not large in scale, but it was quite lively. Almost all the prominent families in Songjiang area sent people to attend.

Lin Yu just watched as Shen Lian led Cheng Kejia, covered with red silk, into the house amid the sound of firecrackers, and finally met the legendary Grand Tutor Shen.

Logically speaking, he was over fifty years old, older than his father. Lin Yu stared at him again and again, but he didn't feel that he was old at all, only that he had the accumulated strength of time.

If you look more closely at his eyebrows, features and bones, you can see that he is also relaxed, clear and elegant.

It is not difficult to imagine that if it had happened twenty or thirty years earlier, he would have been a popular figure among the noble ladies in Beijing.

"looking at what?"

Perhaps she was watching too intently, Lin Ji spoke above her head.

"Look at Master Shen," Lin Yu said bluntly. After the newlyweds bowed to heaven and earth in front of the hall, he turned around and asked, "Are all officials in the capital that good-looking?"

Grand Tutor Shen is, Shen Lian is, and Lin Ji is too.

However, Lin Ji did not understand the deeper meaning and looked towards his parents silently.

Lin Yu then asked in a low voice: "Why doesn't the Grand Tutor marry?"

Such a talented and capable person is still alone and even has no children.

Lin Ji had actually heard something in the capital. One of his colleagues who knew the inside story said that when the Grand Tutor was young, he fell in love with someone, but that person had already married, but the Grand Tutor could not forget her for many years and had been waiting for her until now.

Lin Ji didn't know whether this was true or not, so he just said, "Maybe, it's impossible to ask for it."

Lin Yu nodded, as if this was the only explanation.

She saw that she was indifferent to the guests, calm but distant, except when she was with Shen Lian, she showed some sincerity.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, his eyes and mind were always looking outward.

Until a woman really appeared outside the wide-open door, she saw the calm and steady Grand Tutor in the hall suddenly stand up, but did not forget to straighten his clothes before standing up and walking towards the door.

Behind the woman, there was another man with an eye-catching appearance and an intimate posture.

"It's really unattainable." Lin Yu sighed.

That must be her husband. Although she couldn't hear what he was saying, she could sense the tension between the two men from a distance.

Lin Ji also saw it, and felt very different.

Shen Lian once explained to him that the Grand Tutor had lost his beloved when he was young, so he was the first to try for his marriage and sent him red coral as soon as he received the letter.

Now it seems that one never grows wiser without experiencing something.

Turning his eyes back to the girl in front of him, Lin Ji made a secret decision.

Be the one behind her.

It must not be standing opposite her.

The three men made very little noise. As Lin Yu watched them, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure coming in from the door.

The man had a slightly pale complexion, but had an outstanding figure and temperament. He bowed to the Grand Tutor.

It’s Xu Jinxuan.

Just so suddenly, it came into her sight.

From then on, Lin Yu no longer paid attention to anyone else. She just stared at his every move, hoping that he would look at her.

How fortunate I am that he actually looked over here.

Lin Yu seemed to be possessed, and walked towards him as if possessed.

But suddenly a hand reached out from behind.

Lin Ji asked: "Where are you going?"

She turned her head and looked up at the person, but she could not see a complete figure of the person.

She just silently raised her other arm and tried to wave the man's hand away.

Lin Ji knew that it was unnecessary to ask, she must be going to look for the Fifth Prince.

He held her arm and the collar for a long time, and finally he said, "At least ask me to go with you."

Seeing that he didn't stop him, Lin Yu loosened his arm and nodded at him seriously.

When Xu Jinxuan saw that there was someone following her, he felt it was expected and even curled the corners of his lips.

When others came closer, they pretended not to see Lin Ji.

He only asked Lin Yu: "Why are you here?"

Lin Yu was stunned by the tone that sounded neither too close nor too distant.

"I..." What else could she say? When she saw him from afar, she just wanted to come over.

As if being pulled by an invisible force, the body's reaction has long escaped the control of the mind.

"Huh?" Xu Jinxuan refused to let it go. He raised his chin calmly, as if he wanted to get an explanation.

Lin Yu began to feel awkward, lowered her head and twisted her sleeves, and finally said: "I just want to ask you, are you busy recently, and when will you come to pick up Xiao Lan."

She seemed to have found a good excuse.

At least that's what Xu Jinxuan thought.

He stepped forward a little, looked at the man ten steps away with a gloomy face, and his thin lips raised again.

"Why, did it cause trouble?"

The low voice rang in Lin Yu's ears, but Lin Yu felt numb all over. He blinked and tried his best to maintain his tone.

"No..." The voice was indeed as soft as a mosquito's.
