The Regent saw how terrified they were.
For the first time, I felt that language was more profound than swords and spears.
I finally understand the 'satisfaction' I felt when Yao Qianshu and Lin Chang'an talked.
He secretly vowed to go back and study it carefully, and to go to the border to fight against the Xuan Yue Kingdom another day.
"Since you are all so eager to congratulate me, I may consider it."
“However—” he changed the subject.
"As I have said, Ye Lanyin does not like me. If I fail to marry her, I will still live up to everyone's expectations and ask for the daughters of all the officials."
"You all praised me to the skies in front of my royal brother, how could I let you down?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat you as my father-in-law. After the marriage, you don't need to call me Your Highness, just call me Ling Yuan. We are all family, and we will be equals!"
These words startled even the Grand Tutor.
On equal footing?
Unless you're suicidal!
Fortunately, he secretly supported the regent.
We escaped a disaster! We escaped a disaster!
He patted his chest, still shaken.
I never expected the Regent to have this side to him; he's truly a force to be reckoned with.
Seeing this, General Yao patted him on the shoulder, and the two exchanged knowing smiles.
It's as if it's saying...
Hey, you've got a good eye, buddy.
Upon hearing this, everyone was moved to tears; as long as they were willing, that was enough.
Tonight they will go back and arrange their daughter's wedding.
...
Ye Lanyin was busy all afternoon and finally saw off the noble ladies from various mansions.
At this moment, he is drinking tea in the front hall.
"Hua Xin, has General Sun said when you will go to become his apprentice?"
Hua Xin placed the washed fruit on the table and handed one to Lin Wanwan.
“Madam, Hua Mei went to inquire yesterday and said that you can send it over whenever you have time.”
"Alright, when we go to pick up Chang'an today, let Zhong ask Brother to ask for a day off for Chang'an. Tomorrow we'll go and pay our respects to General Sun."
"Yes, madam."
[Wow, I didn't expect Silly Third Brother to actually become an apprentice.]
It seems Third Brother has truly made up his mind.
[How strange, it seems like Mother has become smarter than ever in this lifetime...]
Ye Lanyin felt a little guilty listening to her inner thoughts.
at night.
Ye Lanyin told Lin Chang'an that she was going to the Sun family to become an apprentice the next day.
Lin Chang'an looked puzzled.
"Mother, have you seen the eldest daughter of the Sun family?"
Didn't he remember that Sun Rugo said she would come to persuade his mother not to let him become an apprentice?
Ye Lanyin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I saw him."
"Chang'an, if you ask me, you must have mistaken her for someone else. Miss Sun is gentle and kind. Today, quite a few noble ladies are thinking of forming a marriage alliance with the Sun family."
"She's not as unreasonable as you say."
"Don't talk nonsense next time."
Lin Chang'an asked, "Then...did she say anything about not letting her son go to find a master?"
"How could that be? Mother and Madam Sun were having a very pleasant chat. The eldest daughter of the Sun family kept calling Mother 'Auntie'."
That child was truly adorable.
Lin Chang'an was dumbfounded.
That Sun Rugo, how dare she deceive him!
He was so worried these past few days.
What if I can't become an apprentice?
At that moment, he completely forgot about Sun Rugo's threat to make things difficult for him.
Bianjing seems to be in turmoil tonight.
I often hear the sound of horse-drawn carriages on the street.
Ye Lanyin tossed and turned for a short while before falling asleep.
The next day.
She got up early to wash and dress.
It is said that the early bird catches the worm, and the same applies to taking on a master.
After the date was set yesterday, Ye Lanyin sent someone ahead of time to deliver the invitation to the Sun family.
Right now, Ye Lanyin is on her way to the Sun family's house with several children.
Yesterday, I had a very pleasant chat with Mrs. Sun. Upon learning that I was coming to become her apprentice today, Mrs. Sun was already waiting impatiently at the door.
General Sun, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood straight in front of the door. His face, weathered by time, possessed both an air of authority and a refined elegance that came with age.
With hearty laughter, the carriage gradually came to a stop.
Ye Lanyin heard his laughter from inside the carriage, which eased her tension somewhat.
"General Sun, Madam Sun." Ye Lanyin bowed to them after getting off the carriage.
Madam Sun immediately smiled and came over to help her up, saying, "Madam Ye, there's no need to be so polite."
"Hello, Aunt Sun. Hello, Uncle Sun."
Lin Chang'an obediently cupped his hands in greeting to Madam Sun.
Mrs. Sun beamed with joy.
"Oh, Chang'an, you should learn more from your Uncle Sun in the future."
Lin Chang'an felt a sudden surge of nervousness for no apparent reason. "Yes, Aunt Sun."
Lin Wanwan climbed up and down in Hua Xin's arms, extremely excited.
【Oh dear, I'm becoming your apprentice! I'm becoming your apprentice!】
"Eee~"
Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's voice, Madam Sun smiled and quickly replied, "Oh my, Wanwan can call out to people now!"
"Look how anxious she is! She was calling me 'Mom' just yesterday!"
"Hahaha." General Sun laughed again and again: "Quickly, Madam Ye, please come in."
A few days ago, Lin Wanwan gave Madam Sun a beauty talisman, and it really worked well.
She carried it with her every day, and to her surprise, her skin improved a lot.
Now, the more I look at Lin Wanwan, the more I like her.
Madam Sun held Ye Lanyin's hand and led her towards the front hall.
"Madam Ye, you can rest assured to leave Chang'an in the Sun residence. He can come and visit often in the future."
“It’s tough for you to raise your children and start your own household now, but things will be easier once they’re older and married.”
Ye Lanyin smiled and nodded.
"Yes, at least there's hope."
General Sun said with a smile, "I heard that Rui'an ranked 138th in the exam. That's truly something to celebrate."
