Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1035: Congratulations
Lin Jinyan stood inside the door, looking at the happy faces of her loved ones, with a smile in her eyes.

After welcoming Wang Chonghuan and the other people who came to bring the good news into the house, Lin Jinyan and Lin Wanrong also helped the old lady retreat to the backyard.

Listening to Lin Wanrong and the old lady talking excitedly about the happy event in the front hall, Lin Jinyan was distracted with a smile on her face:
Delivering good news has always been the job of the county government. Even if it was in the capital, it should have been delivered by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. How could it fall to the Ministry of Rites?

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Chen Qingshan is Chu Chengyao's man, right? That person is so afraid of Chu Chengyao that he doesn't want him to help him anymore, so he cuts off Chen Qingshan's chance to establish a relationship with the Lin family under the pretext of announcing the good news, and thus climb up to the General's Mansion...

"I heard from Lord Wang that Jin'an will change his clothes and parade through the streets, and then go to the palace with the second and third place winners to express gratitude, receive the list of honors and reward money, and also attend the Qionglin Banquet with all the new Jinshi. It sounds like a grand and lively event."

After Lin Wanrong finished speaking, the old lady smiled lovingly and complained:

"It's more than lively, it's simply noisy. When Siyuan was in high school, he also paraded through the streets and passed by the gate of the mansion. The mansion had prepared firecrackers early and lit them when Siyuan passed by. Your grandfather prepared a lot of them, and they went off for a long time, making people's ears hurt."

Lin Jinyan: "Other families look forward to this kind of noise, but you dislike it. Tell Lin Shun to prepare more firecrackers so that we can have a good noise."

As they chatted and laughed, the old lady felt much better. She discussed with Lin Jinyan when to hold a banquet in the house to invite relatives and friends to celebrate Lin Jinan's high school entrance examination.

"My brother will be parading tomorrow and going to the palace to express gratitude. He will also attend the Qionglin Banquet the day after tomorrow, so let's postpone it for one day. It will also be staggered with my second cousin's wedding banquet. You, grandfather and father can discuss a list of guests, and Yan'er will prepare everything in the next two days. It's just right that I will accompany my brother on the parade tomorrow, go to the Fanyin Temple early the day after tomorrow, and rush back to hold the banquet on the same day."

The old lady said distressedly: "Time is so tight, why don't we go to the temple another day so as not to tire you out."

Lin Jinyan smiled gently, "It's just a banquet for relatives and friends, there aren't many people, so I can't be too busy. Besides, the servants in the mansion are helpful, I just have to talk and watch, so I'm tired. It will be busier day by day, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time. Go earlier, if I can ask my eldest brother to come back, I'll feel more at ease."

Lin Wanrong: "The day after tomorrow, I will go with Yan'er. If there is anything that needs to be done in the mansion and you are too busy to handle it, Yan'er, just tell me and I can help."

The old lady was very touched and happy to hear this: "They are really my two treasures."

In the front hall, Wang Chonghuan was as happy as if his own son had graduated from high school, and the corners of his mouth never frowned from beginning to end.

The general's mansion received Lin Jinyan's message, and the whole family came out. Everyone in the hall greeted him and surrounded Lin Jinan, praising him.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Jinyan hurriedly brought Lin Wanrong out to meet the elders. After exchanging greetings, she brought the only female family member, Bai Yiran, to Songmao Hall.

While chatting and laughing with the old lady, Bai Zhi came forward and whispered something in Lin Jinyan's ear. After hearing that, Lin Jinyan's eyes paused slightly, and she talked to the old lady and Bai Yiran as usual, then she found an excuse to leave without any intention.

After leaving the yard and coming to a secluded place, Bai Zhi handed the envelope in her arms to Lin Jinyan:
"It was placed on the very top, and it was visible as soon as the lunch box was opened. Luckily, I took it from Qiu Rong and opened it aside, so no one else saw it."
