Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 75 Procurement Exposed
Lin Jinan pursed his lips and said, "It seems that my cousin didn't make that gouache dumpling."

Lin Jinyan looked puzzled: "Huh? How could it be? My cousin came here yesterday to ask my aunt what she liked to eat, and then she went back and cooked it herself. Today she also told my aunt that she made it herself."

Lin Jinan said with a tangled face: "But, my cousin said that the glutinous rice balls taste the same as Yaxiangzhai's, and I even got copper coins out of it."

"What copper coins?" Lin Jinyan asked.

Lin Jinan: "My cousin said that each portion of Yaxiangzhai's gouache dumplings is wrapped with a copper coin, which is said to bring good luck."

Lin Jinyan said in disbelief: "Brother is saying that my cousin took the gouache dumplings she bought and said she made them herself to please her aunt? But why would she do this?"

Agate, who stood behind Lin Jinyan, frowned slightly, already understanding in her heart.

Of course, I have taken a fancy to the young master of the Gu family, but I didn't expect that this cousin would do such a deceitful thing to go to the general's mansion to please me. Wouldn't this lose the old lady's face? !

Lin Jinyan said in confusion: "It doesn't make sense, brother. Cousin, she has no reason to deceive her aunt? Maybe there is some misunderstanding. If my cousin went out to buy cakes, Songbo must know about it. Just ask Songbo to ask." , Gu Momo, could you please help me find Song Bo, if he is not busy, let him come to Yan Yuxuan."

Gu Mo Mo answered the door and went out. Lin Jinan asked: "It's a trivial matter, why bother Uncle Song?"

Lin Jinyan: "It's related to my cousin's reputation. What will happen if I wrongly accuse my cousin? Of course, I have to ask clearly. My grandmother likes my cousin so much. If my cousin is wronged, my grandmother will also be unhappy. Can my brother bear to see my grandmother unhappy?"

Lin Jinan shook his head: "Of course I don't want to make grandma unhappy."

The brother and sister chatted casually, and after almost two cups of tea, Gu Momo took Lin Song into the house, and Lin Song walked in and saluted.

"Miss, just now Gu Momo came to ask Miss Yuexue if she went out to do shopping. I asked the concierge that Miss Yuexue has not gone out these days except for going to the General's Mansion today. On the other hand, Dong'er beside her brought a food box from the side door early this morning. I left the house and came back with a food box before going to court. I don’t know what I bought, but I need to check?”

Lin Jinyan: "Songbo bothers you to make this trip. Please ask Lin Shun to go to a pastry shop called Yaxiangzhai and ask Dong'er if he bought pastries this morning. However, you still need to keep this matter confidential. Don't tell the government." Someone mentioned it to me. The concierge at the side door would also like to ask you not to talk to anyone about asking him about my son's departure for the winter, especially the people in my cousin's yard."

Lin Song was confused and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with what Dong'er bought?"

Lin Jinyan bit her lip and hesitated: "Uncle Song...you have watched me grow up, and I have always regarded you as an elder and I can't bear to lie to you. But this matter...is related to my cousin. I'm afraid...that it will bring bad reputation to my cousin if word spreads."

These words completely aroused Lin Song's curiosity: "Miss, I have been working as an errand in the house since I was a child. I know what to say and what not to say. If the things Dong'er buys are harmful, Miss must not be soft-hearted. Help her hide it, if it harms anyone in the house, it won't help."

Lin Jinyan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, Uncle Song, you misunderstood. The things Dong'er bought were not meant to harm anyone. It was my cousin who bought a pastry and gave it to my aunt, but she said it was made by herself, but my brother unexpectedly ate it. We will only wrap up the copper coins after leaving Yaxiangzhai. We were afraid that we would wrongly accuse our cousin, so we came to ask you."
