Chapter 17

"Grandma, are you looking for me?"

Standing in the flower hall, Lin Yu straightened his messy clothes, his cold cheeks were a little unnatural.

Mrs. Lin was sitting on the couch, looking at the appearance of her eldest granddaughter who had always been calm and steady, her hands were shaking with anger, and it took a long time before she spoke.

"Ayu, my grandmother has been in poor health these years, and you are in charge of the general affairs of the mansion, both internally and externally, and have taken care of them very well."

"Grandmother is very happy to have such an outstanding eldest granddaughter like you. You are the pride of our Changning Hou Mansion."

Hearing these compliments, Lin Yu drooped his eyes and said nothing, so is he still coming?Just cooking a meal in the kitchen on a whim?

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Yu who was silent, and the teacup in her hand fell heavily on the table, quite annoyed.

"But look at what it looks like today? The eldest daughter of the Changning Hou Mansion went to the kitchen to cook, and made herself look like this, what will people think if it spreads?"

"grandmother."

Lin Yu couldn't help calling out, "I just cooked in my yard once, and I was a little embarrassed."

Mrs. Lin's face became even more serious, "But you are the eldest daughter of our Hou family, you can't cook if others can cook!"

"Don't forget that you are in charge of the huge Lin Mansion now, and your words and deeds represent our Lin Mansion."

Seeing Mrs. Lin who was a little excited, Lin Yu's hands slowly clenched, and finally his shoulders drooped weakly.

"Granddaughter notes, grandmother."

Seeing that Lin Yu was obedient, Mrs. Lin's face softened a lot, "Grandma taught you these principles when your mother passed away, and I will say it again this time, and you are not allowed to do it again in the future."

Yes, I taught it once, and now I say it again, she really wants to ask, what about Lin Baozhu?
She carried the Lin family alone, took care of the family business, and sacrificed herself, did she let Lin Baozhu squander and trample on her wantonly?
But Lin Yu didn't ask. Once she asked, everything would be meaningless. She just saluted Mrs. Lin respectfully.

"The granddaughter remembers her grandmother's teachings and will never do it again in the future."

Mrs. Lin may also feel that she was too harsh just now, her voice is much more gentle, revealing the vicissitudes of old age.

"Grandmother knows that you are also tired. Your father guards the border alone. Grandmother is not in good health. She has put everything in the Marquis of Changning on you. Don't let grandma and your father down, understand?"

Lin Yu looked at Mrs. Lin, and couldn't help but blurt out: "In this case, can grandma agree with my treatment of Lin Baozhu?"

"What?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, she couldn't help frowning.

"Ayu, what Baozhu has done this time is indeed too much, but the removal of the name of the founder's ancestral hall is also too much."

Lin Yu felt a little cold in his heart, and felt that she had done it, "Lin Baozhu has been blinded by Gu Changyuan now, and now he can follow him with no regard for propriety, righteousness and shame, and there is no guarantee that we will destroy our Lin Mansion for Gu Changyuan in the future."

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. If grandma doesn't stop it today, if something happens in the future, I will really regret it."

"Bullshit!"

Mrs. Lin was a little angry, "What is the family motto of our Lin family? Standing upright, why worry about being a rat?"

"Our Marquis of Changning's Mansion is a pure and innocent person, serving the emperor wholeheartedly, and not greedy for a single cent of money, so how can Gu Changyuan slander us even if he has evil intentions?"

"What's more, Baozhu is only young now, she loves her in her heart, and she can still distinguish between big and small things. How could she and Gu Changyuan entrap us?"

"Ayu, you really think too much!"

Think too much?
Lin Yu pinched her palms and laughed at herself. If she really thought too much, she nodded numbly and heard herself talking.

"Grandma, I see."

The sun was a bit dazzling, Lin Yu couldn't help but raised his hand to block it, only to realize that he had left Wansong Hall at some point, and Qixi beside him hurriedly covered his head with an umbrella.

"Girl, what's wrong with you? When you came out of the old lady's room, you were a little out of control. Did the old lady say something?"

Lin Yu smiled softly, "I just feel a little tired, Qixi, how old am I this year?"

Qi Xi's eyes widened, "Girl is only seventeen this year, but your birthday will be in one month, and you will be eighteen soon."

Only seventeen, five years older than Baozhu!
But how does Lin Yu feel that he is already 38?

Qixi didn't know what was wrong with her own girl, so she just asked: "By the way, girl, Prince Rong's mansion sent a post saying that it's Princess Rong's birthday, please go there, shall we go there?"

Princess Rong's birthday?
Lin Yu was in a daze. She was so busy these days that she had forgotten about it. When she mentioned it at this time, she inevitably remembered the day when Fu Yu came.

"I want to come to my door to propose marriage and marry Miss Lin."

"If the eldest girl has made up her mind, I will come to pick you up."

"Girl, girl?"

Qixi yelled a few more times before Lin Yu came back to his senses, "What's wrong with you, girl? You're always absent-minded."

Lin Yu came back to his senses, and finally turned abruptly in a different direction, "Let Steward Liu open the warehouse."

Going to Rongwang's mansion to celebrate the princess's birthday, you can't go there empty-handed.

There are a lot of things in the warehouse, and finally thought that Princess Rong loves calligraphy, so Lin Yu chose an authentic painting "Hundred Birds Announcing Spring" by Wang Ziqian of the former dynasty.

After coming out of the warehouse, Hua Ning came over, "Girl, Mr. Gu has gone to Jingzhao Mansion."

"When did it happen?"

As Lin Yu asked, he handed the painting to Qixi, asking her to wrap it up and send it to Prince Rong's Mansion tomorrow.

"Just now, the servant saw him and that woman entering Jingzhao Yin, so she hurried back."

When Hua Ning came back from Shunnan County, Lin Yu arranged to keep an eye on Gu Changyuan, so he hurried back home when he got the news.

Lin Yu said to the steward beside him, "Get ready for the car and go to Jingzhao Mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that his clothes were black and turned around quickly, "Qixi, follow me back to the room to change clothes."

Here, Mr. Yin Wang of Jingzhao Mansion looked at the deed that Gu Changyuan handed over, and laughed.

"Oh, it was said at the court meeting a few days ago that Gu Zhuangyuanlang went to the Imperial Academy. I heard that the emperor intends to let you go to Dali Temple in the future. Now that you have bought a house, is it true?"

Gu Changyuan frowned and smiled, "Master Wang was joking, I just entered the Imperial Academy now, how can I go directly to Dali Temple, but it is inconvenient because there is no place to live in the capital, so I scraped together some money."

Master Wang nodded, took a few more glances at the deed, and then gave a 'tsk' sound, Gu Changyuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Master Wang, what's the matter?"

The woman next to her was also surprised, "This deed is all right, and it has changed hands several times before, so it's all right."

"The problem is here. Your house has changed hands several times, so this time it will be more complicated. You can't just build a chapter. I have to go back and check it out."

Mr. Wang looked at Gu Changyuan while talking, "Don't worry Gu Zhuangyuan, I don't mean to make things difficult, the procedures will definitely be completed, but it will take a few more days."

"Your Majesty Wang is too polite, you can just call me Changyuan."

As Gu Changyuan said, he was silent for a while before opening his mouth again, "It's just a few more days, I just want to trouble you, my lord."

Mr. Wang smiled kindly, "No trouble, no trouble, this is what our Jingzhao Mansion should do."

Sending people out of the mansion, Mr. Wang looked at Gu Changyuan's back, and couldn't help shaking his head. He is a good young man, he will offend people just after entering the capital, and his life will be difficult in the future.
