Chapter 63 Forced to recognize elder brother

Jingyi hurried to the door of the room to greet Xiao Yilin. He was a prince after all. She didn't dare to neglect him.

Lin Xiuhan was even more surprised when he saw Gu Yu and heard Gu Yu's words.

Xiao Yilin slowly walked into the living room.

Jing Yi stepped forward and said, "Prince Jing, why are you here? But what's the problem with the food?"

Xiao Yilin frowned slightly when he heard the young man's distant and polite words and said, "I heard from Qiao Hong that the magistrate of Hui'an County is here, so I came over to take a look."

Of course Lin Xiuhan knew Prince Jing. They were both in the capital and had met each other. He did not expect that Prince Jing was actually at the Chu family. Wasn't Prince Jing already sick and bedridden? But now looking at Jing

The prince is obviously fine.

Lin Xiuhan quickly tidied up his clothes and hat, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, Lin Xiuhan, pays homage to Prince Jing."

Xiao Yilin waved his hand, "No courtesy, we don't have to be so formal in private."

Jing Yi quickly asked Song Yuancheng, who had also come in at this moment, to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then said: "Prince Jing hasn't eaten yet, and we haven't used the chopsticks yet, so you can eat with me."

Xiao Yilin originally wanted to have dinner with them, "Then I won't be polite."

Jing Yi quickly asked Xiao Yilin to sit down at the main seat.

Xiao Yilin looked at Gu Yu and Feng Zhi who were standing aside and said, "You go and eat, you are not needed here."

Jing Yi also said quickly: "Yes, you go and eat quickly, Prince Jing has me here."

Gu Yu and Feng Zhi returned to the wing together when they saw that their prince was being taken care of by Mr. Chu.

The two of them were sitting at the dinner table, and Feng Zhi said: "Hey, Gu Yu, what do you think our prince is thinking, and why did he show up on his own initiative?"

Gu Yu said: "Our prince will definitely have frequent contacts with Mr. Chu in the future. It will probably be difficult to hide it from Mr. Lin. It is better to show up directly and let Mr. Lin know about our relationship with the Chu family.

On the other hand, I think the prince may also want to subdue Mr. Lin. Don't forget, although Mr. Lin Xiuhan doesn't show up much in the capital, his reputation is not small.

Everyone said that he was talented and quick-thinking. However, he was indifferent by nature and unwilling to compete for fame and fortune, so he came to Hui'an County, far away from the capital, to work as a county magistrate to hide out.

If he can be used by our prince, that would be great."

Feng Zhi nodded, "It's true when you say it. Mr. Chu is also a man of quick thinking. If our prince keeps these two people by his side to assist him, then our prince will have a much greater chance of winning when he returns to the capital to fight for the throne."

.”

Gu Yu said with a smile: "You are somewhat enlightened. Mr. Chu is a man of great talent. If he can stay with the prince and assist him, then he will be able to do anything big."

In the living room, Jing Yi and Lin Xiuhan were chatting very well and relaxedly. Now Xiao Yilin came and wanted to have dinner with them, which made everyone very cautious.

But it's hard for Jing Yi to show his displeasure, after all, he is the prince.

Jing Yi used serving chopsticks to put a piece of sweet and sour pork into Xiao Yilin's bowl, "Prince Jing, this is sweet and sour pork. It's sweet and sour, and the meat is very tender. Please try it."

Then Jingyi gave Lin Xiuhan another piece of steamed pork ribs, "Brother Lin, try this steamed pork ribs. It has a different flavor compared to the sweet and sour pork ribs."

Xiao Yilin looked at the food in his bowl and felt a little unhappy when he heard that the boy was called something else because he was obviously distant.

He raised his head and said: "Jing Yan, we have known each other for a long time, and you have saved my life many times. We don't have to be so close to each other in the future. Just call me Brother Xiao from now on. From now on, we will treat each other like brothers."

"

Jing Yi couldn't react when he heard this, "Ah, brothers? This, this is not good. You are a powerful prince, and I am just a commoner with no power. How can I call you brothers, Prince Jing? This

Which is fine."

Jing Yi didn't know what happened to Xiao Yilin suddenly today. But she didn't want to have a close relationship with Xiao Yilin, at least not now.

Xiao Yilin frowned when he saw Jing Yi actually rejecting his advances, "Does Jing Yan think I'm not qualified? Don't you also call Magistrate Lin your eldest brother?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just think that calling you a brother is too high for me."

Xiao Yilin said: "Since I have this qualification, it's settled. From now on, I will call you by your name, and you will call me Brother Xiao."

Jing Yi heard that, she was forced to recognize two elder brothers today. And why did she feel that Xiao Yilin acted like a child who had been robbed of candy and wanted to take it back?

Jing Yi shook her head and ignored it. It was Xiao Yilin's request anyway, and she was not the one rushing to climb up the ladder. "Okay, then Jing Yan will be more respectful than obey. From now on, I will call you Prince Xiao, Big Brother."

Come on, come on, the food will be cold in a while, please eat quickly."

After saying that, Jingyi used serving chopsticks to pick up some vegetables for both of them.

Lin Xiuhan had been observing that the two people were silent, and he also heard a lot of meaning from the conversation between the two. Could it be that Prince Jing's current improvement in health is because of Chu Jingyan?

Jing Yi did not pour wine for Xiao Yilin, but served him a bowl of chicken soup, "Brother Xiao, your body has not fully recovered and you can't drink yet, so just drink this chicken soup. It's very good for your health. This is my specialty

Stewed for you."

Xiao Yilin was in a good mood when he heard this. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took a few sips of the chicken soup from the bowl. "Yes, it's delicious. This steamed pork ribs is also delicious. This is your first time cooking this dish."

Jing Yi smiled and said: "In the past, the seasonings were not complete, so many dishes could not be cooked, and even if they were cooked, they would not taste good. Now I have to make soy sauce, so some dishes can have that taste."

Xiao Yilin nodded and looked at Lin Xiuhan and said: "County Magistrate Lin has managed Hui'an County very well. However, Magistrate Lin came to Hui'an County to be the magistrate and is overqualified. With Magistrate Lin's talents, he can fully take on the big responsibility.

.”

Lin Xiuhan raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I think it is not easy to govern a county. If I were asked to take on a more important position, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Take the last murder case as an example. If

Without Jing Yan’s help, I don’t know when I would have solved the case.”

Jing Yi said: "Brother Lin, you are too humble. Didn't you also realize that something was wrong? That's why you didn't close the case hastily. Your responsible attitude is admirable."

Lin Xiuhan smiled and said: "That's worthy of admiration. This is my responsibility and what I should do."

Jing Yi said: "Even if this is what should be done, there are many people who cannot do it. A good official like you, Brother Lin, who is serious and responsible, honest and considerate of the people, is worthy of all officials to learn from.

However, there are often officials who do not work for the people at all, but to make a fortune and use their power to steal people's wealth and support. The people complain endlessly, but they can only be oppressed."
