Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1254: Making an Idea
After finishing their class, Feng Siyao and Yue Mingzhu came to Ruoshui Villa next door. As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Lin Jinyan with a sad face in the window, her eyes fixed on a certain place outside the window in a daze.

The two looked at each other in confusion and quickened their pace. As soon as they stepped into the house, they saw Lin Jinyan coming towards them with a smile as usual, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

After chatting and laughing while drinking tea, Yue Mingzhu waved away the maid, and Feng Siyao did the same. Without Lin Jinyan's instructions, Bai Zhi led the two maids to go back and drink tea, leaving Hong Jiu alone to guard outside the door.

There was no one else in the room. Yue Mingzhu looked at Lin Jinyan's expression and asked with concern:

"When I saw you in the courtyard just now, did you seem to be sad?"

Lin Jinyan met the two pairs of concerned eyes and sighed dejectedly:
"My brother and Hui Zhao have already asked for their marriage names and matched their horoscopes. I have been busy in the mansion for a few days, discussing the betrothal gifts with my grandparents and my father, and preparing to choose an auspicious day to go to the Wang family to propose.

I was just thinking, if my mother were still alive, she would be very happy to see my brother get married..."

Upon hearing this, Yue Mingzhu and Feng Siyao put aside their worries and felt distressed again. As the three of them were all motherless children, they no longer had any taboos and talked about their own mothers, comforting and encouraging each other.

After chatting for a while, Feng Siyao looked at the endgame that Lin Jinyan had set up, and she couldn't wait to pull Lin Jinyan to play chess.

Yue Mingzhu sat in the middle, watching the two of them interacting tenderly:

"Does General Anbei have a sweetheart?"

Lin Jinyan raised her eyes:
"I haven't heard that he has a sweetheart. My cousin's bad luck has spread, so his marriage has been delayed for many years. Last year, he won a victory and was commended by His Majesty, so many people came to visit him.

However, most of them were not well-intentioned, and my eldest cousin and aunt did not like it, so they delayed it again. Why do you suddenly ask this? Could it be that you... um?"

Yue Mingzhu shyly took out her handkerchief and stroked Lin Jinyan's teasing face:
"Go away! You naughty monkey, you say all kinds of nonsense, and you even want to make fun of me."

After laughing, Yue Mingzhu's blush faded and she got down to business: "I just admire the Gu family, I don't have any other thoughts. It's just... I went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother yesterday, and from what she said, it seemed like she had this intention.

That's why I'm telling you in advance that if your cousin has a lover, he should act quickly after returning to the capital."

Lin Jinyan straightened her expression and thanked him sincerely.

Seeing Feng Siyao's relaxed look, Yue Mingzhu kindly reminded her:

"And you, if you have a crush on someone, you have to hurry up."

Feng Siyao was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"

Yue Mingzhu: "From what the Queen Mother said, it seems that the Eastern Palace has set its sights on you."

Feng Siyao was shocked: "What?!"

He and Lin Jinyan rode in the same carriage back to the city, and the two had a secret conversation all the way. Although Feng Siyao's anxiety was relieved, he still couldn't be completely relieved. As soon as he returned home, he took his brother to find Pingyang Hou.

After listening to Feng Siyao's words, the grandfather and grandson both looked worried.

Feng Sinian: "Yesterday, His Majesty did meet Chengping and offered him a job. Chengping decisively refused based on the situation we had analyzed in advance.

I said I just wanted to be as carefree as Cheng Yi, but His Majesty scolded me for being lazy. I thought His Majesty was just testing me, but Lin Jinyan said, Your Majesty might give me the job? "

Feng Siyao nodded: "What Jinyan said about His Majesty testing you is true, and I'm afraid it's also true that he gave you the task. If His Majesty doesn't give a clear order, don't agree to it, and take this opportunity to show weakness and loyalty."
