When did he love studying so much???
Lin Feilu stood in front of the two tall stone books for a long time, unable to guess what was going on in Lin Jingyuan’s brain.
The guards who stood by the door didn’t recognise her at first. They were still a little wary of her lingering in front of the door. It wasn’t until she approached closer that the guards recognised her as the Fifth Princess, hurriedly greeting her.
As soon as she stepped into the mansion’s gates, Lin Jingyuan, who heard the announcement, walked out quickly. His face was full of excitement and joy when he saw her, “Little Lu! You are finally back!”
Lin Feilu smiled and said sweetly, “Brother Jingyuan.”
Although Lin Jingyuan has grown into a suave and dashing young man, his behaviour was still the same as it was before. He took her by the wrist and walked in, “You’re finally back. I’ll show you my mansion! You have no idea how much thought I put into it; it’s definitely one of the top ten mansions in the capital!”
Lin Feilu asked the question that she was most curious about, “Brother Jingyuan, why are there two stone books standing outside your house? Wouldn’t one usually place a stone lion or two?”
Lin Jingyuan said seriously, “Since it is used to ward off evil spirits from entering the house, it is only natural to use the most ferocious thing in the world. I think books are much scarier than lions, so we must set up books!”
Lin Feilu, “?”
Lin Jingyuan was also proud of it, “There’s actually people who often come up to worship it. Besides, I’m the only one who has it in the entire capital; you can’t find a second residence in the capital that has these.”
Lin Feilu, “…”
Yes, after all, there is no other in this capital who is as ignorant as you are.
Ultimately, she had to admit that his mansion was really well repaired. Lin Feilu had been to Princess Lin Nianzhi’s REsidence and Lin Ting’s Prince Qi Residence, both of which were of orthodox architectural patterns. This King Jing’s mansion had an ingenious beauty to it, filled with pavilions and luxurious courtyards. The corridors were scattered, providing an atmosphere that was filled with life.
It was just like Lin Jingyuan since he was always full of unexpected vigour.
After visiting the mansion, Lin Jingyuan asked people to serve her favourite refreshments and began to ask them about their journey in the martial world. Lin Feilu told him interesting things about her travels while eating the snacks. Hearing about them, Lin Jingyuan was very moved, and he repeatedly said that he would travel with her to see it for himself next time.
In the end, Lin Feilu had sated her appetite and finally asked about the more serious matters, “Brother Jingyuan, I heard that you are engaged?”
As soon as she said this, Lin Jingyuan’s face suddenly darkened, and he became unhappy, “Don’t mention this.”
Lin Feilu asked curiously, “What? Don’t you like my sister-in-law?”
Lin Jingyuan almost jumped up at that, “What do you mean ‘sister-in-law’?! Don’t call her that! She hasn’t passed the gates yet(2), so why is she your sister-in-law? Besides, it’s not certain whether I will marry or not!”
(T/N: Chinese traditional weddings require the bride to walk into the groom’s house from the front door and pass their gates. It’s a sign that she will henceforth enter the family)
Seeing his annoyed appearance, Lin Feilu hurriedly calmed him down. After asking about it for a long time, she found out that Consort Xian and Emperor Lin ordered this marriage. He didn’t like any of the ten young girls presented to him at that time. Consort Xian had practically picked out the most suitable young ladies of the right age in the capital, but he still didn’t agree.
