Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 38 Going to the General's Mansion
After the carriage started moving, Agate smiled and said: "The General's Mansion really loves Miss. This is my first time here. I see that everyone in the house calls you Miss, and no one calls you cousin. Even Yutong and I are in the side room. While we were waiting, the servants of the General's Mansion were very kind to us. There was no shortage of fruits, snacks and meals. Lin Shun and the others also arranged to eat. This is all for your sake, Miss. Those of us who are servants, How can you get this kind of treatment in other mansions? It’s good to have a place to stay and something to eat.”

Lin Jinyan smiled gently: "Grandpa and the others have always loved me."

Yutong smiled and said, "Young lady is always treated like this in the General's Mansion. Today, my dear sister Qiurong made hibiscus cake which was delicious. Before leaving, she packed a box for me."

Lin Jinyan laughed out loud when she saw Yutong's greedy appearance. Although this girl was greedy and had some scheming, she was still more satisfied than she was loyal and obedient.

After returning home, Lin Jinyan went to Songmao Hall first, where Zhou Yuexue was talking to the old lady.

Lin Jinyan smiled calmly and saluted, and gave the food and two rolls of cloth that Bai Yiran had packed to Mrs. Lin.

The old lady touched the fabric and smiled lovingly: "Come and sit down and say, the general's wife is so kind. We haven't come to thank you for taking care of you for a few days. She also sent such a good fabric and I like the color. Please do it for me." Thanks. Have you seen your grandpa, uncles and cousins? How are they?"

Lin Jinyan sat down and replied with a smile: "Grandma, you can like it. My aunt said that when she saw these two rolls of fabric, she thought it was very suitable for grandma. When I was about to give it to you, I fell into the water and was delayed for a few days. Grandpa and uncle are all here, everything is fine."

The old lady smiled and said, "Your aunt is kind-hearted and will always think of me if she has any good things. I heard that the kid from Ruizhou was promoted to captain?"

Lin Jinyan: "Yes, grandma."

Old lady: "This child is so young. It's really rare for him to get such an official position just a few years after joining the army. The young talent must have a bright future. Can we get married?"

Lin Jinyan: "My cousin has been stationed at the border in the past few years and has not spent much time in the capital. This time I just came back from the border with my uncle and haven't gotten engaged yet."

Zhou Yuexue on the side listened to the conversation between her grandfather and grandson with a smile, her thoughts changing rapidly.

The old lady smiled and said: "If you look at such a good son, wouldn't this girl from Tai'an City be overmatched?"

Lin Jinyan also laughed, and Zhou Yuexue smiled and said: "The Gu family army is brave and good at fighting and is loved by the people. Yuexue also admires her wholeheartedly. Auntie, I heard that the General's Mansion is very majestic, and the scenery in the mansion is even more unique, but real?"

Lin Jinyan's eyes flashed and she smiled but said nothing.

The old lady patted the back of Zhou Yuexue's hand and said with a smile: "I have only been there a few times. The General's Mansion is indeed majestic, and the scenery is spacious and like a military commander's."

Zhou Yuexue lamented: "It makes people fascinated when I think about it, but it's a pity that I never got to see it."

Old lady: "What's so difficult about that? The next time Yan'er goes there, I'll take you up to have a look."

Zhou Yuexue looked surprised: "Is it really possible? Is it inconvenient to bring my sister Jinyan with you?"

The old lady smiled and said: "Yan'er is well-behaved and the general's palace always loves her. How can it be inconvenient? Yan'er will take Yuexue with her next time and let her follow her."

Lin Jinyan smiled slightly and said, "Okay grandma."

Zhou Yuexue smiled happily: "Thank you, sister Jinyan. If you hadn't led me, I would never have seen the majesty of the General's Mansion."

In one sentence, the old lady felt even more pity for Zhou Yuexue.
