After eating and drinking their fill, everyone moved chairs to the courtyard to chat.
Lin Rui'an, unusually, didn't read today. Instead, he ate snacks and chatted with Xiao Chengyun, the Regent, Ye Lanyin, and Lin Wanwan.
The Regent sat beside Ye Lanyin, and couldn't be happier.
Today, he climbed over the wall to get here. It's a rare and pleasant time for him; this is the only time he's had this experience in over thirty years.
He even stood up his elder brother when he was summoned.
"Mother, my third brother is crying."
Hearing Lin Chang'an's cries, Lin Rui'an finally reminded Ye Lanyin.
The third brother is really too naughty. Not only did he take his sister to bully the neighbor's Mi Le, but he also dared to encourage his sister to fight.
They really deserve to be hit!
He would have hit him a few times if it weren't for the fact that it was almost National Day.
Ye Lanyin took a sip of tea. "Let's finish this pot of tea first."
Upon hearing this, Hua Xin immediately went to Ye Lanyin's side, picked up the teapot, and began to pour tea for the group.
"Your Highness, please have some tea."
"Young Master, are you thirsty?"
Reaching Lin Wanwan's cup, she poured a few drops, "Miss, just a little bit is enough for you."
Finally, there is Tenhou.
She poured the entire pot into his basin with a splash.
"Tianfeng, drink more."
She then shook the pot in her hand. "Madam, the water is all gone. I'll go and fetch the Third Young Master right away."
Before Ye Lanyin could finish speaking, Huaxin quickly ran to the outer courtyard, saw the Third Young Master sobbing uncontrollably, and picked him up with heartache.
"Oh dear, Third Young Master, why are you crying like this?"
Lin Chang'an wiped away his tears and buried his face in Hua Xin's body, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Waaah, studying is still the best. I'll never kneel again!"
"Waaaaah..."
Hua Xin hugged him, secretly smiling to herself.
Ye Lanyin looked at her son, who was already so big, and still wanted to draw a heart shape with his arms. She pounded her chest.
Don't be angry.
My own flesh and blood, my own flesh and blood.
"Mother, I was wrong. I will go to school tomorrow and study hard."
The Regent raised an eyebrow at Ye Lanyin, as if to say, "See how I disciplined her? Are you satisfied?"
Ye Lanyin glared at him irritably, then said to Hua Mei:
"Hua Mei, go and bring Chang'an's dinner over."
Upon hearing that he could finally have food, Lin Chang'an hugged Tianfeng and wept uncontrollably.
Okay, okay.
His mother felt sorry for him.
Today's kneeling was not in vain.
"Alright, stop pretending," Ye Lanyin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an immediately dropped the Heavenly Phoenix in his hand and sat down on the stone bench with a smile.
"Everything about it is very girly."
Tenhou: Thank you so much!!!
Our family is finally reunited!
Lin Wanwan sat on the stool, eating the plum blossom cake in her hand, smacking her little feet.
When will Father and Mother get married?
When will we get to that point?
【Sigh~】
Xiao Jia sighed, "Father... Mother..."
"Mud~ Nest~ Nest, we tie a bundle of silver~"
The Regent looked at Ye Lanyin excitedly, but Ye Lanyin blushed and dared not look at him.
Upon hearing the thought, Xiao Chengyun said urgently:
"Father, your son loves Mother. When will you marry Mother?"
The regent felt a little uncomfortable under the intense gazes of the children. He coughed lightly and said, "Well, that depends on your mother."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengyun turned to look at Ye Lanyin and asked, "Mother, is it because my father isn't good enough?"
He called her "Mother" more naturally than Lin Rui'an and Lin Chang'an.
Ye Lanyin blushed and shook her head, "Chengyun, it's not like that. National Day is coming soon, let's talk about it in a few days."
Upon receiving Ye Lanyin's reply, the Regent Prince cast an approving glance at Xiao Chengyun.
Xiao Chengyun excitedly gulped down water.
Dad praised him.
Good omen, another mistake is about to be made!
After thinking it over, he pulled Lin Chang'an aside and said:
"National Day is just around the corner. The talismans we bought on the street last year were especially effective. How about we buy some more this year?"
After hearing this, Lin Chang'an said while eating, "Okay."
Xiao Chengyun looked at the Regent and then extended his hand, saying:
"Father, shall we give you some silver?"
His attitude was arrogant and smug.
Last year, he saved the entire royal family, and even the royal grandfather praised him. It would be unreasonable for him not to make a quick buck this year!
Seeing that he had just "made a contribution", the regent took out a silver note from his pocket.
"Hey, buy more tomorrow."
Xiao Chengyun glanced at the silver note and said disdainfully, "Father, aren't you being too stingy?"
Thirty taels is hardly enough.
"One hundred taels!" He didn't even blink, and impatiently stretched out his hand again.
At the same time, he stuffed the banknotes into his pocket with his other hand.
The Regent smirked. "Thirty taels of silver? That's a month's salary for an ordinary official. You think that's not enough?"
“Father, don’t forget, when I bought the talisman last year, you weren’t there, so I used my own pocket money to pay for it for you.”
"If you don't give it to me this year, I won't buy it, and I'll make you furious!"
“You—” The Regent gritted his teeth.
What a rebellious son!
He was a dignified regent who had fought on the battlefield for many years; just mentioning his name could strike fear into the hearts of enemy nations.
Who would have thought that he could be so angry with his own son that he was nearly driven to death in his own home?
He found a hundred-tael silver note and placed it heavily on the table.
"Okay, okay, take it, take it, take it."
The money Wanwan earns in a day is equivalent to his salary for several months.
Why is this guy going to find his poor father instead of his sister?
