Yan Yin didn't know how the outside was talking about him. He was now in the city lord's mansion.
Lin Qing'er took him through the city lord's mansion. Along the way, there were beautiful maids and powerful guards with Kong Wu.
"These people are all servants and guards in the front yard." Lin Qing'er held Yan Yin's hand, regardless of the surprise of the maids and waiters around her, and explained to Yan Yin, "The city lord's mansion is very large, divided into front yard and back yard. The front yard is the place where my father handles official duties and also the place where some guests are received. The back yard is the residence and courtyard of our Lin family. The back yard is the place where our Lin family children practice, and it is also where I grew up. My room is in the back yard."
Yan Yin nodded, his eyes were calm, and he didn't care about the eyes of the maids and waiters who were looking at him.
"By the way, Qing'er, why do they all call you the eldest lady? Do you have other brothers and sisters?" Yan Yin asked.
Lin Qing'er explained, "That's right. My father is the current patriarch of the Lin clan, but he is the city lord of this third city, so he rarely manages the affairs of the clan. However, since there are many other brothers and sisters in the Lin clan. Although I am not the oldest, my father is the city lord and the patriarch, so naturally they all call me the eldest lady. My father only has me, and I have no other biological brothers and sisters."
"That's right?" Yan Yin nodded, then said, "Are they good to you?"
Lin Qing'er was stunned and then said, "Are you talking about other brothers and sisters of the Lin family?"
"Yeah," Yan Yin nodded. He wanted to know about Lin Qing'er's living environment and how to deal with the relationship with them. If he is good to Lin Qing'er, he will naturally treat each other well. If it is not good, Yan Yin will be free to deal with it.
Lin Qing'er sighed softly, "I am my father's only daughter, and my father is the lord of Fengyun Third City. In the future, the lord of Fengyun Third City will not be given to a woman. So..."
Yan Yin understood that this is human nature.
Even people from the same clan will have many discordant voices within.
"This time Mo Wuqing came forward to propose marriage. No one in the clan disagreed. Of course, I know what they think, but I can do nothing." A trace of sadness appeared on Lin Qing'er's face, and she held Yan Yin's hand and was about to slide down quietly.
Yan Yin grabbed Lin Qing'er's hand and squeezed her weak and boneless little hand hard. Seeing that he was looking at him, he said in a deep voice, "I'm here!"
One sentence or three words, full of it is a responsibility and a feeling.
Lin Qing'er stared at Yan Yin in a daze, then her eyes lit up, a smile appeared on her dim face, she nodded seriously, and said, "Well, the little fool is here, Qing'er is not afraid."
As they said that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The maids and waiters around looked at the two of them one after another. Some smiled, some flashed a hint of coldness, and some flashed with strange light.
Feeling the different gazes of the people around him, Yan Yin already knew what kind of environment Lin Qing'er was living in.
When he lived in the General's Mansion in the Northern Frontier, although there were very few maids and waiters inside, everyone who saw him was full of joy and love.
Even those soldiers who followed his father for a long time and fought abroad, even those Northern Xinjiang soldiers whose hands were dyed with blood and whose eyes were extremely cold when facing strange beasts, would show their smiles from the bottom of their hearts whenever they saw him.
Perhaps, this is the environment! Yan Yin sighed in his heart. Although he had not been out of the Yanyun Mountains for a long time, it did not mean that he could not understand anything. It should be noted that when he first entered the Yan clan, he had seen conflicts within the clan. If his father had not been tough in his methods and used his strength to change everything in the Yan clan, he would probably be the same as the Lin clan.
This is the clan, which hides many intrigues.
As Lin Qing'er crossed a section of the road, walked through several pavilions and palaces, and finally crossed a river and entered a place with a completely different environment.
There are no high-rise buildings, no magnificent palaces and beautiful pavilions here, and some are ordinary and ordinary buildings above them.
Here, there are many woods and many large yards. At first glance, you can see some children running around on rare beasts.
There were also some young men who were sweating profusely and practiced hard. Yan Yin even saw two men fighting.
Lin Qing'er took Yan Yin's hand and came to a place with an elegant and quiet environment and a charming fragrance of flowers.
A delicate house that is not gorgeous but not simple, stands in front of it. In front of the house is a not-so-small yard full of flowers and plants. The whole yard is full of flowers and fragrance. Lin Qing'er happily pulled Yan Yin into the yard and said with a smile, "Little idiot, this is where Qing'er lives. How about it, is it good-looking?"
"Yeah," Yan Yin nodded seriously and said, "It's very good, but I don't know these flowers."
Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "I don't care. As long as they are fragrant, I don't know them. I don't care where I don't care. Come and see the house I live-"
There is a hall and three wing rooms at the back. There is a small yard between the wing rooms and the hall, and there is a pavilion in the yard. The pavilion is surrounded by colorful flowers and plants. Among the flowers and plants, there is a bluestone road leading to the flower pavilion.
"That pavilion, I call her Qinxiang Pavilion." Lin Qing'er pointed to the pavilion and said, "I usually like to sit there and think about things." Then she pointed to the three wing rooms and said, "The one in the middle is where I live, and the one on the right side is where my maid Xiaoya lives. As for the one on the left, my father sometimes comes back to live, but there are very few people. Now that you are here, just live in that room, is it okay?"
Lin Qing'er looked at Yan Yin with a smile. She was undoubtedly very happy about his arrival.
"This is not suitable!" Yan Yin said.
"Hmph..." Lin Qing'er snorted lightly, and said with a gloomy expression, "Don't you want to?"
Yan Yinhui hesitated and said, "That's not, it's just that the room was lived by the city lord, I..."
Before Yan Yin finished speaking, Lin Qing'er said, "It's okay, my father lives here very little, and he doesn't live three times a year. It's just right for you to live here. Moreover, with you living here, Qing'er will feel much more at ease."
Yan Yin looked at Lin Qing'er, and saw that her eyes were expecting. Looking at her slightly thin face, Yan Yin nodded and said, "Well, Qing'er has the final say."
Lin Qing'er's brows stretched out, and a bright smile rose from the corner of her mouth. "Yes"
Next, Lin Qing'er took him to her own room first to take a look. The room was decorated very elegantly, with a full daughter's boudoir. It was filled with a faint fragrance of a girl, very warm.
The room Yan Yin wanted to live in was much simpler, with only one table, two chairs and one bed inside.
"I'll ask Xiaoya to bring some daily necessities later." Lin Qing'er looked at everything inside and said, "My father likes simplicity, so there is no purchase here."
Yan Yin said, "This is great, there is no need to buy things, and I also like it to be so concise."
Lin Qing'er said, "It's not good to be like this."
"Haha, Qing'er, no need." Yan Yin smiled and said, "I don't have high requirements for these, and not all of them are the most important. The purpose of my visit this time is to solve your current dilemma."
Lin Qing'er was stunned, then nodded. Looking at Yan Yin, her heart was filled with sweetness.
In the room, Lin Qing'er and Yan Yin talked about the current situation in detail.
According to Lin Qing'er, the reason why she returned home that day was because something happened to his father. Lin Qing'er did not tell Yan Yin what was going on because she didn't know what happened to his father. However, she guessed that there must be something wrong with her cultivation. Then, when she thought she was going to return to the academy with nothing to do, Mo Wuqing came to the door, and he came to the door with the Lieutenant General of the Empire. Their purpose was to propose marriage to Lin Qing'er's father, hoping to marry Lin Qing'er to Mo Wuqing.
When the news reached Lin Qing'er's ears, the clan had already unified its ideas and hoped that the marriage would be successful.
However, Lin Qing'er did not agree until one day she had a long talk with her father.
Lin Qing'er didn't tell Yan Yin what the character was like when she talked about it. She just glanced at Yan Yin shyly when she mentioned it.
In the end, Lin Qing'er's father did not agree to the marriage, nor did he refuse the marriage. He just told Mo Wuqing and the lieutenant general of the empire to let them come again in three months.
The Lieutenant General and Mo Wuqing had no intention of persecution. They agreed to come here three months later. However, when the Lieutenant General left, he needed a satisfactory answer when he said that.
The city lord's mansion knows what the satisfactory answer is. Now many people are waiting for the second visit of the lieutenant general in the empire.
Finally, Lin Qing'er sighed softly, "Fortunately, my father agreed to my conditions, otherwise, alas..."
Yan Yin asked what Lin Qing'er's conditions were, but she chuckled and didn't say anything.
Yan Yin said, "Qing'er, so, your Lin family is very supportive of your marriage between you and Mo Wuqing, right?"
"Well," Lin Qing'er said, "In addition to my father, even my uncle, second, third, and younger sister-in-law, all hope that I can marry Mo Wuqing. Whatever you say is a good match or a wealthy person, it is actually just their false words, hum..."
Yan Yin nodded and said, "Then how can I help you? If I were to fight against the lieutenant general of the empire, I might not have the strength yet. Otherwise..." Looking at Lin Qing'er, Yan Yin said, "Why don't I take you away!"
Lin Qing'er was shocked and said in surprise, "Elop?" As soon as she said that, Lin Qing'er's cheeks turned red, and then she shook her head and said, "This is not possible. I'm afraid we can't leave the city lord's mansion, but we can't leave this third city. Besides, ah..." A sigh, a hint of gloom appeared on Lin Qing'er's face, "If I leave, it will only have adverse consequences for my father."
Yan Yin pondered for a moment and said, "What should we do?"
Lin Qing'er looked at Yan Yin, a hint of blush appeared on her face, and she whispered, "You will know when you fall down. Now, you live here, and I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."
Yan Yin was stunned, then thought for a while, and finally nodded, saying, "Yes, that's fine!"
The two chatted for a long time until a crisp knock on the door rang.
