Lord, pay for the wine

Yan Anxuan glanced at the slightly messy bed, and looked at Zong Jinyu in surprise: "You mean the bed?"

"Yes." Zong Jinyu nodded.

"... Is it not good to lift a woman's bed, although Mrs. Lin is old enough to be my mother."

Zong Jinyu scratched Yan Anxuan's nose lightly, and said with a smile, "Where did you go, how could someone like her allow her bed to be messy, so you can take a look."

"Oh, that's it, you didn't say it earlier." Yan Anxuan blushed.

Zong Jinyu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's because I didn't say it earlier."

Yan Anxuan was even more embarrassed, ran to the bed and lifted the bed directly.

a portrait? !

Yan Anxuan was stunned, not because of the portrait hidden under the quilt, but because of the face of the person in the portrait.

"She looks very similar to you." Zong Jinyu, who was standing behind Yan Anxuan, said.

"...How?" Yan Anxuan couldn't believe it.

Zong Jinyu picked up the portrait with one hand, and pulled Yan Anxuan to the table with the other.

"An Xuan, the person in this painting should be related to you."

"...She..." Yan Anxuan snatched the portrait and looked at it carefully, and said in an uneasy tone: "She... Could it be... But why does Mrs. Lin have her portrait."

"Maybe it's to remember her more firmly, maybe it's to remind myself that I don't know much about women's minds." Zong Jinyu replied.

"If...if the person in this painting is my mother, and Mrs. Lin keeps this painting, does it mean...does it mean that she has a very good relationship with my mother?"

"...It shouldn't be possible, otherwise she would tell you that you have a very similar appearance to the person in this painting when she first met you."

"Then she didn't explain why..."

"Neither you nor the person in this painting has anything to do with her, and that's what she wants to show."

"Then the portrait she left behind is..."

"Both the person in this portrait and you are fully related to her."

"What? Does her reaction to me mean that my disappearance is related to her?"

"Such inferences are good. If it's just to remove obstacles for Lin Yuehua, wouldn't it be better to kill you directly? Why did she just let you disappear?"

"Is it because she suddenly showed kindness, so I just lost my memory before I was five years old."

"Then why did you leave such a mark on your back? Wouldn't her actions be meaningless?"

"That's right," Yan Anxuan said, "So it's really troublesome and difficult to guess what a woman thinks!"

"...If the person who carried out the order is different from the person who gave the order, it can be explained." Zong Jinyu smiled and said, "Maybe we should talk to Aunt Lin."

"Aunt Lin? Isn't she Madam Lin's personal maid? Will she betray her master?" Yan Anxuan doubted.

"If you betrayed once, then the second time is also fine." Zong Jinyu said.

"You mean..." Yan Anxuan exclaimed.

"It's just what you think." Zong Jinyu agreed.

"...No wonder." Yan Anxuan sighed, picked up the portrait and looked at it for a while, and said to Zong Jinyu, "Jin Yu, can I take this portrait away?"

"No."

Seeing Yan Anxuan's shattered face, Zong Jinyu patted his head and said, "I can't do it now, but I can do it later."

"Really? Not to comfort me?"

"It's true." Zong Jinyu assured again and again: "I won't lie to you."

"That's good." Yan Anxuan put the portrait in Zong Jinyu's hands.

Zong Jinyu touched Yan Anxuan's face reassuringly, and said, "It's about the same time now, and it's time for us to set off."

The two arranged the room as it was when they first came in, locked the door, and closed the front door before leaving Zheng Yuan.

Along the way, Yan Anxuan's mood was a little low, he just followed Zong Jinyu's footsteps step by step, and didn't even notice that Zong Jinyu stopped until he crashed into Zong Jinyu's arms.

Yan Anxuan rubbed his forehead, raised his head and looked at Zong Jinyu with doubtful eyes.

"An Xuan, if you don't know what expression to use now, just smile! I'm here for everything!" Zong Jinyu hugged him tightly and said, "Don't you want to dig those fulcrums? We haven't put them on yet." What about night clothes?"

"...Mmm." Yan Anxuan nodded in Zong Jinyu's arms.

"Master, the master is pressing, do you need to find Jin Yu and the shopkeeper?" Lin An asked Lin Yuehua who was sitting on the stone bench in the yard after tidying up.

"Xiao'an, you see that the day is going to change, I'm afraid the moonlight won't be as good as in previous years." Lin Yuehua answered a bit out of the question.

"Master?" Lin An was a little worried.

"There's no need to search, they should be here soon." Lin Yuehua still looked at the sky.

"Young master... do you have something on your mind?" Lin An still asked.

"Xiao An, if I wasn't the young master of the Lin family, or Lin Yuehua, would you...would you still be by my side?" Lin Yuehua asked.

"Young master, you are my forever young master. No matter when? No matter where? No matter what your status is, Xiao An will always be with you."

After hearing this, Lin Yuehua smiled, but no matter how you look at that smile, it looks a bit miserable.

Lin An was very worried, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you? You're like this... I'm really worried!"

"It's okay." Lin Yuehua responded with a smile to Lin An, the same bright smile as before, Lin An couldn't help but wonder if he was delusional just now.

But he knew it wasn't, the young master must have lied to him about something.It's just that Lin Yuehua didn't say anything, and he had no choice but to watch the darkened sky with Lin Yuehua.

"Xiao An, do you know? Dad just told me that he wants to announce an important event at the family dinner."

"Do you want the young master to inherit the family business?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Lin Yuehua said, "It's another one."

"What is it?" It must be an extraordinary event to be announced at the family banquet, Lin An thought.

"Daddy didn't tell me."

"So the young master is unhappy about this?" Lin An thought very simply.

"...Probably!" Lin Yuehua laughed.

Seeing Lin Yuehua's smile again, Lin An was a little worried, and just about to speak, Lin Yuehua put her arms around Lin An's shoulders as if she had recovered, and said cheerfully, "Let's go! Let's go to the banquet! I guess one of my uncles The older generation will die in a hurry.”

"Okay, young master." Lin An's train of thought followed Lin Yuehua as usual.

"Wow! It's really luxurious!" Yan Anxuan sighed.

"For such a family, this kind of ostentation is just right." Zong Jinyu said.

The family banquet of a wealthy family is extraordinary, and the participation of collateral relatives is even more extraordinary.

Strictly arrange the seats in order of seniority, seniority, and youth. Some seats are occupied, and some are empty.Everyone present this time saw that three seats were arranged next to the main seat.

One seat was undoubtedly the young master of the Lin family, and everyone guessed who the other seat belonged to.

One guess is that Lin Yuehua found a wife and gave birth to a baby during the two years outside.So those two seats are for the mother and child.

It's just that this guess was quickly refuted by others. The reason is that children under one year old can sit in a seat by themselves?By the way, do you really think that Lin Yuehua has found a wife?

Another guess is that Lin Yuehua found two wives outside, so the two seats were reserved for Lin Yuehua's two wives.

This statement caused many elders who brought their daughters to face long.

It's just that this guess was quickly refuted. The reason was that there could only be one wife, and only the wife could attend such a family banquet, and the most important thing was that the wife was obviously sitting with her husband.

Lin Yuehua, who heard these discussions from a distance, couldn't help but blush: Don't you all ask my servants for information?And what are you worrying about about my marriage?Anyway, I will not marry the daughters, nieces, and nieces you brought.

"All the elders are here, I'm here to wish the elders a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Lin Yuehua said loudly and festively as soon as she appeared in the light.

Then Lin Yuehua was quickly surrounded, and chatted with the uncle on this side about the things outside, talked with the uncle on the other side about business opinions, and greeted the aunt over there.

It's just that among this group of people, there is a person who is still upright in casual clothes and is his uncle who is an official. Lin Yuehua leaves everyone behind and greets him alone.

After the man politely said that his nephew, you are also a dragon and phoenix, he said casually: "You are back, today's family banquet is even more lively."

"I'm just a junior. If there is no family banquet, I just lose a noisy person."

"Seeing more and more people at the family banquet, more and more lively, I am also sincerely happy!"

"That's right, there are indeed more people today than in the past two years." Lin Yuehua knew that his uncle must have heard something and wanted to get something from him, so he pretended not to know and followed Uncle's words go away.

It's just that Lin Yuehua didn't expect that because of his "unknownness", Yan Anxuan knew about Zong Jinyu earlier.

There were some misunderstandings between the two that would not have happened, coupled with the casualness of the breeze later, there were twists and turns between the two that should not have existed.

Because such family banquets are not often held, some relatives will have some estrangement in normal contact due to different places of residence, so it also causes some people at the family banquet to be unfamiliar.

With this cover, Zong Jinyu and Yan Anxuan are still walking leisurely at the banquet. Anyway, the banquet has not officially started, so there is nothing wrong with walking around casually.

After looking around, Yan Anxuan found that there were scattered people sitting in the seats, so he had no choice but to ask Zong Jinyu what to do.

Zong Jinyu told him that such family banquets are arranged according to seniority and inferiority.

And the fact that he was obviously outside this range made Yan Anxuan a little upset, and he didn't care about what he had promised, so he wanted to leave while pulling Zong Jinyu.

At this time, Mrs. Lin came with Mr. Lin.
