A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Xiao Yi and Dong Moyuan played a few more games of chess. Lin Qinghuan sat elsewhere and watched the tea technician make tea, which was quite interesting.

"My uncle is such a proud man, yet he actually accepted a disciple. This shows that my sister-in-law is no ordinary person either."

Dong Moyuan glanced at Lin Qinghuan who was concentrating on making tea, then turned back and sighed to his old friend.

"Although Huan'er has a talent for painting, I originally wanted to find Mr. Nangong, but I didn't expect Mr. Dong to like her. Maybe there is a talent in her that we can't see." Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"The key is, she's from the Lin family. You have to know that my uncle is most reluctant to have any contact with Lord Lin in his life. I never thought..."

After Dong Moyuan finished speaking, he shook his head in surprise. He had no idea what his uncle had done. Xiao Yi felt a little strange in his heart. After all, he knew that Dong Yuange was secretly a member of the Third Prince's faction.

Lin Qinghuan watched a round of tea making. The tea technician also bowed to Lin Qinghuan and stood up to serve the newly made tea to the three distinguished guests.

"Very interesting, isn't it?"

Xiao Yi asked as he looked at Lin Qinghuan who came happily.

"It's really an amazing job, much better than Yun Xiang Chu Xia." Lin Qinghuan said as he sat next to Xiao Yi.

"Mo Yuan loves drinking tea the most, so the tea masters in his courtyard are all the best at it."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Dong Moyuan nodded without any modesty. A woman came from a distance, followed by two maids in similar clothes.

"That's Mo Yuan's wife, Lan Yujie."

Xiao Yi whispered in Lin Qinghuan's ear.

"I heard a long time ago that a distinguished guest had arrived at the mansion. I guessed it was Lord Xiao."

Lan Yujie stepped forward and dismissed the maids on both sides, then entered the pavilion alone.

"Why did you come here just now?" Dong Moyuan asked.

"After helping my mother take her medicine and calling my aunt over, I had the chance to come over." Lan Yujie said with a smile to Dong Moyuan.

"I've already told you that now that you're pregnant, you don't have to be so diligent in going to Mother's yard. You won't have to do the waiter work tomorrow."

Dong Moyuan complained a few more times.

"understood."

Lan Yujie smiled shyly, then looked at Lin Qinghuan, stood up and walked over.

"I heard of Sister Lin's name when I was in the Mountain River Valley. She is really pretty."

Lan Yujie held Lin Qinghuan's arm, looked around carefully, and said with a smile.

"Sister Lan, please sit down quickly and take care of yourself."

Lin Qinghuan helped the enthusiastic pregnant woman sit down.

"When I was little, I loved following the eldest sister of the Lin family. After my father passed away, my mother and I followed my eldest brother out to serve as an official, and we saw the eldest sister of the Lin family less and less."

Lan Yujie said to Lin Qinghuan excitedly.

"I heard from my elder sister that she had a few followers in Jinhan. Could Sister Lan be one of them?"

This time, Lin Qinghuan heard Lin Qingyao tell her a lot of interesting childhood stories.

"I'm more than just one of them, I'm the one that's closest to you." Lan Yujie said loudly.

"Hahahaha, so you are the legendary Shen'er." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help laughing again after saying that.

"When did you get this nickname? How come I didn't know about it?" Dong Moyuan asked curiously.

Lan Yujie winked at Lin Qinghuan mischievously, hushed, then turned around and spoke to Dong Moyuan.

"This nickname is naturally given to you when you are a child. It no longer counts when you grow up."

Lin Qinghuan knew where the name came from, and it was quite funny.

"That's definitely not the case. I saw my sister-in-law's face was red from laughing."

Dong Moyuan looked at the two girls whose faces were full of secrets and became even more curious.

"My wife is shy and always blushes." Xiao Yi also said deliberately.

"Okay, you are really good at protecting your own shortcomings." Dong Moyuan raised his hand and ate one of Xiao Yi's white pieces, then looked at Lan Yujie.

"Madam, please tell me quickly, what does Shen'er mean?"

Looking at Dong Moyuan's face full of curiosity and eagerness to know, Lin Qinghuan finally understood why Xiao Yi always said that his old friend was Jin Han's number one fool. This person's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were all expressed in his words, and he looked innocent.

"When I was little, I idolized Sister Yao so much. Princess Jinling said that if I hid Master Zeng's ginseng medicine every day, Sister Yao would take me to enjoy it. So Master Zeng didn't drink a single sip of ginseng water for two whole months. Later, the matter was exposed, and not only was I punished to copy an essay, but my father also punished me severely."

Seeing that Dong Moyuan had lost all interest in playing chess, Lan Yujie could only tell him about his embarrassing childhood experiences.

"What happened next?" Dong Moyuan asked.

"Later, Sister Lin Jiayao found out about this and scolded Jinling for teasing me. I then became her little follower."

Lan Yujie's face was full of smiles when she talked about the past.

"What about your ginseng?" Dong Moyuan listened carefully and continued to ask.

"It was named by the eldest sister of the Lin family."

Lan Yujie glanced at Lin Qinghuan and said to Dong Moyuan with a smile.

"Shen'er, that sounds interesting."

Dong Moyuan muttered softly, then nodded.

Lin Qinghuan felt much more relaxed watching Xiao Yi and Dong Moyuan together than usual. As expected, her husband also had a relaxed side when facing his good friends.

"Sister Huan, tell me what you like to eat. I think my husband won't let you go home tonight. He will definitely drink a few pots of wine."

Lan Yujie watched Xiao Yi and Dong Moyuan playing chess but chatting non-stop, so she simply stood up and pulled Lin Qinghuan to her boudoir.

"Go quickly." Dong Moyuan waved happily at the two of them, then turned and said to Xiao Yi.

"I brought back the fine wine you mentioned in your letter, and I'm finally waiting for the chance to drink it with you."
