Loyang Jin

Cousin Yan, I have always envied you.

This sentence still rings in my ears.

Ling Jingyan stared blankly at Ling Jingshu, who had a sincere face, and couldn't help but said: "Ah Shu, you didn't lie to me, did you? You are more beautiful, smarter, and luckier than me. Every time we go out as a guest, everyone's eyes are on you. Around you, you don’t know how envious I am!”

How could Ling Jingshu envy her?

Compared with Ling Jingshu, she is like a green leaf next to the peony. With the dazzling peonies in full bloom, who would pay attention to an inconspicuous green leaf?

She had thought about it more than once. If she had Ling Jingshu's beauty and intelligence, maybe King Yan would fall in love with her!

Ling Jingyan's face was like a piece of white paper, and everything she was thinking was written on her face.

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly: "Cousin Yan, you don't have to belittle yourself. You will know when the man who really likes you appears. Even if there is a beautiful woman beside him, he will not look at it twice. He only has you in his eyes and heart. ”

Is there really such a person?

Ling Jingyan twitched her lips mockingly: "Although I know these are words to comfort me, I am still very happy to hear them."

Ling Jingshu laughed: "I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm telling the truth. Why don't you even have this little confidence anymore? This is not the cousin Yan that I know and like."

The most endearing thing about Ling Jingyan is her confidence, optimism, liveliness and cheerfulness.

Ling Jingyan was amused by Ling Jingshu and laughed. She straightened her back and said confidently: "You are right. I, Ling Jingyan, am so beautiful and cute, how can no one like her?"

Yeah! This was the Ling Jingyan she was familiar with.

The two sisters were chatting and laughing when they saw the maid coming to report with a smile: "We have a distinguished guest in the house. Madam asked the two ladies to go to the main hall."

Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan looked at each other in surprise.

Generally speaking, if there are female relatives or familiar relatives and friends in the house who come to visit, they will be led to the inner hall. It was natural for the two of them to go out and meet the guests.

Since he is in the main hall, it means that he is a male guest. It is best to avoid seeing the girl who is waiting for you in the boudoir.

Why would Mrs. Sun let them go to the main hall to meet the guests?

…

Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan went to the main hall full of curiosity.

Uncle Ling was still busy in the official office. Ling Ji left the house early in the morning to attend the invitation of his friends. Soon after arriving in the capital, Fifth Master Ling made a group of friends and went out to have fun.

The only ones sitting in the main hall accompanying the guests were Sun and Ling Xiao.

After Ling Jingshu saw the face of the visitor, she suddenly understood and couldn't help but smile.

Ling Jingyan opened her eyes wide in surprise and blurted out: "Zhang Jian! Why are you here!"

She thought Zhang Jian's previous words were just talk, but she didn't expect that he actually came to visit her.

Zhang Jian had obviously tidied up with great care today. He was freshly dressed and his handsome face was full of energy. Hearing this, he was not angry, and stood up with a smile: "I made an appointment with Mr. Ling Wu before to visit, and I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came. I never thought that it would be such an unfortunate coincidence that Mr. Ling was not in the house. I took the liberty of disturbing you! I should have sent you a greeting note and come back at a good time."

"Yes, the fifth uncle is not in the house. If you want to find him, you should come back another day..."

"Ayan, why are you talking like that!" Mrs. Sun glared back at the rest of Ling Jingyan's words: "Young Master Zhang is sincere in visiting us as a guest, and it is also an honor for our Ling family. Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zhang?" "

If you dare to talk nonsense again, see how I deal with you!

Ling Jingyan quickly understood the "profound" meaning in Sun's eyes, and immediately gave up. She reluctantly opened her mouth: "I just made a slip of the tongue. Master Zhang, please don't take it to heart."

Zhang Jian smiled politely and said: "Miss Ling is straightforward and quick-tongued. What she said just now must have been a slip of the tongue. In fact, she welcomes me as a guest. How can I care about it?"

Pooh!

Who welcomes you!

Ling Jingyan quietly glared at Zhang Jian, and when Sun glanced at her with a warning look, she immediately put on a smile against her will: "Yes, yes, of course I welcome you as a guest."

This girl's eyes rolled around when she spoke, with a disapproving look on her face. Anyone with eyes can see it!

Zhang Jian felt very interesting looking at Ling Jingyan like this. Deliberately teasing: "I didn't expect Miss Ling to welcome me as a guest so much. From then on, I became shameless and visited her often."

"What? Are you going to visit me often in the future?" Ling Jingyan's mouth was always one step ahead of her brain. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she immediately knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, Mrs. Sun started to frown again: "Ayan!"

"Well, what I mean is that Mr. Zhang will visit you often from now on, and I'm very happy." Ling Jingyan changed her tune abruptly.

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao looked at each other, with uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

Father, like son!

Whether Ling Jingyan really hated Zhang Jian or not, she couldn't tell yet. However, Zhang Jian obviously came here for Ling Jingyan.

Ever since Ling Jingyan entered the main hall, Zhang Jian's eyes have been falling on Ling Jingyan's pretty and angry face, and he could hardly look away.

Ling Jingshu and her brother could see it, and the worldly and sophisticated Sun certainly understood it.

"A-Yan, you and A-Shu come over and sit down and talk!"

Mrs. Sun greeted them to sit down with a smile, then looked at Zhang Jian, and said kindly: "I really feel sorry for Mr. Zhang today. My fifth brother went out to be a guest, and the master went to the government office again. We were the only ones to accompany Mr. Zhang to talk. , Mr. Zhang, don’t be bored.”

"Auntie said that, it really upset me." Zhang Jian responded with a smile: "I am presumptuous."

This time, "Auntie" was called out very smoothly.

The smile in Sun's eyes became a little thicker, and her tone became more kind and friendly: "I wonder how much Mr. Zhang is worth this year?"

Zhang Jian respectfully replied: "I am eighteen years old this year, and will be nineteen after the New Year." After a pause, he smiled and said: "It's embarrassing to say that most men of my age are married and have families. I haven't even married yet." Not decided yet.”

The purpose of coming is obvious.

This frankness and directness won Sun's favor.

However, Sun didn't show it, and chatted with Zhang Jian calmly: "It is common for men to start a career first and then start a family."

Zhang Jian smiled and said: "I think so too."

One asked intentionally, the other wanted to be frank, and the two chatted quite speculatively.

Ling Jingyan sounded a little strange, so she leaned into Ling Jingshu's ear and whispered: "My mother is in a really good mood today. She didn't feel bored even after talking to him for a long time."

Silly girl!

I still haven’t figured out what’s going on!

Ling Jingshu smiled and said vaguely without saying anything.
