Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1316: Expressing Gratitude
Xian Yao Lou.

After reading the account book, Lin Jinyan said a few polite words, sent away the shopkeeper who was smiling and expressing his loyalty, and invited Hong Jiu, Bai Zhi and Wei Zhong to sit down.

Wei Zhong glanced at the tightly closed door and was about to go and guard it:

"Hong Jiu and Bai Zhi are dining with you, and others won't say anything unpleasant. I'm just a guard. If someone sees us and spreads rumors that are unfavorable to you, the young master will punish me."

Bai Zhi smiled and said:

"He is usually smart, why is he so stubborn now? The lady asked you to sit down, so she must have something in mind. She is really worried about him. Hong Jiu, tell him to sit down."

Hong Jiu didn't think much about it and asked Wei Zhong to sit down:
"When we were in Zhangzhou, we also ate at the same table. There was no need to be formal."

Wei Zhong thought that his young lady was someone that even the young master admired, so he sat down with a silly smile without worrying any more.

Bai Zhi poured tea for Wei Zhong:
"Miss, you see, Hong Jiu's words are still effective."

Wei Zhong hurriedly took the tea with both hands. Upon hearing this, he turned his eyes to Hong Jiu, then lowered his eyes to look at the teacup:
Miss Hong Jiu's temper is scary...

Hong Jiu paused for a moment while holding the cup, and said calmly:
"It's better to dry the clothes even if you are seriously injured."

Ever since being saved by Feng Xiaoran, Hong Jiu always brought this up every time they argued, which made Bai Zhi so angry that she gritted her teeth:
"You can't get over this, right? If you keep saying that, you'll be mute!"

Lin Jinyan was in a good mood today. She watched the two of them banter with a smile. Before inviting a few people to start eating, she picked up her teacup and looked at Wei Zhong across from her:
"After returning to the capital with me, you have faced danger for me many times, especially Wei Zhong, who was not only scolded innocently, but also injured and poisoned many times. I have kept this in mind. Today is a rare opportunity, so I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Jinyan, then glanced at Bai Zhi and Hong Jiu who were looking at him with a smile, and stood up with his teacup in his hand, at a loss:

"Miss... why are you suddenly saying this? Are you not letting me stay by your side? But I did something wrong?" Lin Jinyan laughed:
"Don't think too much. I just want to thank you. I have already thanked Bai Zhi and Hong Jiu. There are so many people in the mansion that it has been delayed until today."

Wei Zhong felt relieved and smiled:
"It is my duty to protect you, young lady. It is normal for a guard to get injured. You don't have to mind it. Besides, you are very kind to me, young lady. I am happy to protect you."

The two drank tea, and Lin Jinyan motioned Wei Zhong to sit down:
"Being injured is not normal. You protect me, but you also have to protect yourself. I can't control how others treat me, but I value your safety as much as my own.

If one day you can't save me even if you risk your life, please take good care of yourself, don't die in vain, and protect my family for me, I will be grateful and at peace."

After they finished speaking, Bai Zhi and the other two looked serious. Lin Jinyan smiled and said:

"I'm just saying if. I'm not in danger, so don't think too much. Pick up your chopsticks. It's rare for us to eat together. Eat whatever you want today."

Wei Zhong sighed from the bottom of his heart that he was lucky. The two masters he met were people who protected and loved him and cared about his life and safety. Suddenly he understood the meaning of "a gentleman will die for his friend."

Bai Zhi saw that Lin Jinyan was happy, and she didn't want to ruin Lin Jinyan's mood because of the worry she had just said, so she deliberately joked:

"Miss, you are so happy today, right? Is it because of the medicine shop? I don't know who knows what Miss is thinking. Miss started it, and he finished it, letting Miss vent her anger."

Lin Jinyan suppressed her embarrassment and imitated Feng Xiaoran's tone:

"Girls can't stand the cold. Bring some hot tea."

Bai Zhi: "Miss, you are like this too!"

Although the master and his four servants did not drink any alcohol, they still had a lively and enjoyable meal.
