In the past, Lin Yunyan still remembered the situation when Xu Jian changed her story quite clearly.
Uncle Chengyi's mansion was confiscated, and the title of the princess was revoked. Although there had been such clues in the court before that, the fact that Minghuang's imperial edict came to light still made everyone in the Lin family unable to recover.
Yulin was ordered to raid his home, and Prince Ping volunteered to be the chief envoy and led everyone there.
It was also because of his presence and his words of defense for the Lin family that Yu Lin behaved relatively restrainedly, copying and copying without breaking or damaging anyone.
From Xiao Duan to the maids and servants, they were all "courteously" invited out of the door.
It’s miserable, it’s miserable.
But compared to the chaos and chaos when other people's houses were confiscated, the Chengyi Mansion can be regarded as "peaceful on the surface" from beginning to end.
On this point, Lin Yunyan once told Xu Jian that she was grateful to Prince Ping.
If another envoy had come and copied everything randomly, Duan's body would have collapsed long ago.
Lin Yunyan helped her family settle down, and then returned to the alley to quietly look at the sealed door, filled with emotions.
She wanted to help, but she knew she couldn't do anything.
Under the fierce struggle for imperial power, it is not something that they, as courtiers, can reverse.
Xu Jian himself is a clay bodhisattva, and it is already difficult not to be dragged into the water. How can he argue with reason and save the Chengyi Mansion?
This is the reason. Her grandmother and father both advised Xu Jian not to interfere, and also told her not to cause any rift between the couple because of Xu Jian's incompetence. However, Lin Yunyan knew that Xu Jian had made a lot of efforts behind the scenes.
Xu Jian didn't talk much, but he tried his best.
Lin Yunyan stayed outside the mansion until dark before returning to the Duke's Mansion.
When people entered the main courtyard, they saw Xu Jian pushing a wheelchair out. She suddenly became emotional and complained a lot.
In her life, she rarely felt resentful, but this sudden outburst shocked the usually calm Xu Jian.
"Princess." Xu Jian wanted to comfort her.
She curled her lips and muttered, "Where is the princess?"
Later, Xu Jian changed his tune.
"Ayan", two words, the tone is smooth and steady, just like Xu Jian, cold and upright.
But after all, it was the first time she heard it, and Lin Yunyan didn't come back to her senses for a long time. By the time she turned the corner, her little complaining mood had passed.
After that day, Xu Jian always called her that.
Lin Yunyan got used to it, until she came back to this life and became the princess again.
In the past half year, people around her have called her this, and memories that have faded away with time have filled her life again. Lin Yunyan is very adaptable to her "young days".
So much so that when Xu Jian called "Ayan" so abruptly just now, she was a little stunned.
When Chen Gui, who was chatting next door, saw that Lin Yunyan was leaving, he also stood up and said goodbye to Jing Daguan.
They have pretty much said it here.
Chen Gui strode out and saw Lin Yunyan still standing on the porch blowing the cold wind, so he quickly gave her a small bamboo tube.
"The He family's grandma stewed some white fungus soup, and it's still warm," Chen Gui said, "She said that if you cover the princess's hands, you can still drink a few sips."
Lin Yunyan accepted it with a smile.
After getting on the carriage, which was turning forward, Lin Yunyan leaned on the pillow and took a sip.
The white fungus was soft and glutinous, and I ordered a lot of sugared osmanthus, which was very fragrant and sweet.
Involuntarily, Lin Yunyan thought of Xu Jian's name again.
It's familiar, but it seems different from what I heard before?
After recalling it carefully, Lin Yunyan blinked and noticed the difference.
In these two words, the first sound passes by in a flash, but the second sound is prolonged, making it sound like an Er sound.
Where is there any integrity?
Just like Xu Jian's temperament, I don't know what I was thinking about all over again. She spoke and acted with more flamboyance, and sometimes she was even yin and yang.
Only when I don't speak, I am exactly the same as before.
On the other side, Xu Jian also left the small hall, returned to the backyard of Taohe Zhai, and entered the study.
The hot white fungus soup was brought to him and he drank it slowly.
Outside the study, Shen Chen and Xuan Su were standing on the corridor, each with a bowl.
Xuan Su took two sips and smiled happily: "It's sweet! It tastes good!"
"You just like it so sweet." Shen Chen frowned. For him, the sugar-osmanthus was too much and it was a bit boring.
After Xuansu finished drinking, he asked the He family's grandma to ask for a bowl. She came back and said to Shen Chen: "Mommy said, I made it so sweet. I know I love sweet food.
I used to go out and buy a bunch of sweets, but the old man found them and gave them to me. They all became my favorite.
Is it exposed now?
He just loves it."
Shen Chen quietly took a look into the study, and then said to Xuan Su: "You really like to eat, otherwise why would I have only given it to you and not to me before?"
After saying that, seeing that Xuan Su had not yet understood, Shen Chen said in a low voice, "There are others who are so sweet."
"Who?" Xuan Su answered subconsciously, and then finally turned around.
The princess eats sweetly.
The princess ate the candied haws with gusto last time.
Clearing his throat, Xuan Su used the safest explanation: "Our master is very considerate in his dealings with others, and he always remembers his guests' preferences."
Shen Chen covered his mouth and hurried away from the study room.
This kid Xuan Su makes teasing remarks with an expressionless face.
If he couldn't hold back his laughter on the spot, I don't know if his salary for a few months would be enough to punish him.
In the study, Xu Jian's ear was no worse than Xuan Su's, and he naturally listened to the entire conversation between the two followers.
After the two people hid away, he clicked his tongue.
Who said he only loves this sweet food?
Nonsense.
Compared with the little princess, he was defeated.
That person is the one who can't wait to empty the honeypot into the bowl without fear of damaging his teeth.

After sending Lin Yunyan back to the mansion first, Chen Gui rushed to Shuntian Mansion and handed the lease contract between him and Jing Dafan to Hao Tongpan.
Hao Tongpan saw this and was amused: "Why did you get involved with Lao Shi Xiang?"
"It's a pity that I didn't buy it last year," Chen Gui sighed deliberately, "who let the money be less than that of Jingdong's family, and Uncle Chengyi's family refused to participate in the sale, so they could only watch...
I didn't expect that the alley would be so lively later. The case was settled, and I still felt that I could make a fortune there.
If I can’t be the boss of Laoshi Lane, I’ll rent a house and be the boss. Is that okay?
Well, as soon as Jing Dong’s family returns to Beijing, I will go look for him.
There is a piece of land at the north end of the alley. I want to do a study business. Come on, Hao Tongpan, will you prepare a case for me?"
Hao Tongpan laughed.
Since Chen Gui has negotiated with Jing Daguan, it will be easier for the yamen to follow the rules.
"I heard that the Jingdong family wants to hand over the new house to the Yamen and invest it in the placement of candidates?" Hao Tongpan gave a thumbs up, "You also have business experience, and you happen to be selling a study room."
