Waiting for spring

When Lin Su woke up, he found himself tied to a pillar of a ruined temple, which seemed to be the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. Lin Su and Shen Yinheng came here to roast sweet potatoes when they were young.

His hands and feet were bound, his wrists were worn out, and he was hurt by the rough hemp rope.

Lin Su gritted his teeth and looked around.

There was no one here except him, the surroundings were very dark, and the temple door was closed. Through the broken window, Lin Su saw the moonlight outside and the shadows of trees swaying in the dark night.

Lin Su was a little scared. He was not afraid of the sky and the earth since he was a child, but he was only afraid of the dark. When he saw the shadows of the trees in the dark woods, he always felt that there would be a wronged ghost.

He huddled himself into a ball, leaning against the column, rubbing his hands constantly, trying to loosen the rope.

Suddenly, a meow came from nowhere, and Lin Su screamed in fright, almost breaking his throat, and tears covered his face.

He tried to go behind the post, but he couldn't move because the rope was too tight.

Lin Su suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he was Shen Yinheng's companion at that time, and accompanied Shen Yinheng to study in the Imperial College. The two ate and lived together from the age of eight until the age of 13.

At that time, even though he was a companion, he was more like a master than Shen Yinheng, the eldest son. Because the emperor doted on Shen Yinheng, and Shen Yinheng doted on him, even the little prince was afraid of him in the palace.

At that time, Shen Yinheng dressed himself every morning. He still dressed Lin Su who was rolling around on the bed and didn't want to get up, and washed his face and brushed his teeth. Sometimes Lin Su was really sleepy, so Shen Yinheng had to carry him to the Academy, don't forget to take some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for him as breakfast.

Just like that, if Shen Yinheng jolted him on the road, Lin Su would still bite his neck with displeasure on his face to let him walk properly, it was really lawless.

One day, several princes were playing hide-and-seek after school. Originally, Shen Yinheng and Lin Su were always together, but this time Shen Yinheng happened to be arrested, and the two had to separate.

And young master Lin wanted to scare Shen Yinheng on a whim, so he ran to the library pavilion of the Imperial College and hid.

The Zangshu Pavilion is generally not allowed to enter casually, even if the prince borrows books, he needs to record it.

I don't know whether it was Lin Su's good luck or bad luck. When he ran to the library, it happened to be the time when the guards were handing over. Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Su got in.

He thought that Shen Yinheng would definitely not be able to find him for a while, so he simply leaned against the bookshelf and took a nap. When he opened his eyes again, it was dark and the door of the library was locked.

Rows of bookshelves are indistinct in the dim light, and the old wooden shelves sometimes make a creaking sound. The storyteller in Ruyi Building said that monsters will emerge from the books when it is dark, so Xiaolin Su first put the I was frightened and cried loudly.

The sharp crying attracted Shen Yinheng, who had been looking for him all afternoon and was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were bubbling, and hurriedly asked the censor who was in charge of the library to open the door, and hugged Xiao Linsu who was crying so loudly.

Seeing that it was Shen Yinheng, Lin Su, who was being hugged, bit him on the neck without saying a word. He was so weak from crying that he still complained viciously: "Why did you come here? I was scared to death. .”

Naturally, Shen Yinheng would not defend himself. It was his fault for leaving Lin Su alone for so long, and he was duty bound.

After returning home, Shen Yinheng stayed up all night, coaxing the frightened Lin Su, and took the initiative to go to the Imperial Study Room the next day to receive the penalty of copying the "Tao Te Ching" a hundred times.

"Shen Yinheng, I'm afraid." Lin Su buried his head in his knees, his hands were tied behind his back, his voice was full of grievances and longing, and he looked extremely pitiful.

Lin Jin, who was looking outside, wished he could turn the entire capital upside down in the middle of the night. He disturbed the mansions and shops on the several roads from the flower market to Ruyilou, and finally found out about Xue Xue in a noodle shop. Ann found Lin Su troublesome news, after throwing down a piece of silver, he went to Xue's mansion with red eyes.

Master Xue Hou was woken up in the middle of the night. He was angry at first, but when he saw Lin Jin's Raksha face, his calves trembled in fright.

Xue An was guilty of being a thief, and was a little scared when he heard the movement in the front hall in the backyard. Before he had time to pack up and escape, he was dragged to the hall by the people sent by Lord Xue to kneel down.

At the beginning Xue An was still quibbling, saying that he was at odds with Lin Su, but he never did anything harmful. Lin Jin took off his arm in front of Lord Xue, and he was so painful that he was sweating coldly, so he trembled relieved.

Lin Jin didn't say any more, and before leaving, he glanced at Master Xue, and led a group of people to the outskirts of the city.

When Lin Jin found Lin Su, he was being flirted with by two bastards, his clothes were torn, and his snow-white shoulders were exposed in the dark night, which made Lin Jin's eyes turn red, and veins popped up on his forehead, kicking the two of them one by one. Kick it away, and then quickly untie the rope for him. Seeing the glaring bloodstains on his wrist, his eyes were a little bit more ruthless.

The two hooligans were quickly tied up, and Lin Jin cut their necks with a knife without saying a word.

He took Lin Su home, and Lin Su had a fever that night, but fortunately he retreated the next day, and Lin Jin let out a sigh of relief.

The next day when he went to court, Lin Jin saw Xu Yan who had been squatting in front of his house all night, got into the official sedan chair and left without saying a word. Halfway through, Lin Jin still couldn't help but sent his entourage back to ask about the situation.

Since then, Xue An has never appeared in the circle of disciples of the aristocratic family, and it is said that he was dispatched to the southern border.

Afterwards, Lin Su's reputation became even more famous in the capital, and every household knew that the second young master of the Lin family was a noble man and could not be messed with.

Ever since Lin Su was rescued, Xu Yan hadn't shown up. He only asked someone to send some precious medicinal materials and a letter of apology.

Seeing this, Lin Su thought that his elder brother had stopped him, so he ran to ask Lin Jin.

Without Xu Yan to tease Mianzi, the days became more and more boring.

"Brother, has that kid Xu Yan been here?"

"Never." The elder brother of the Lin family was processing the documents, and when he heard this, his hands were stopped, and he replied with a cold face, expressionless.

Lin Su looked at Lin Jin's mistaken stroke, suddenly understood, and asked casually: "I remember that at the state banquet, the emperor rewarded elder brother with a purple jade folding fan. It's getting hot, can you lend me a few days?"

"Oh, I still have a Peach Blossom Fan made of nanmu wood, which is the original work of old Mr. Chen Yu. Let Huansheng bring it to you later."

"Oh." Lin Su didn't say any more, just gave his brother a meaningful look, and then ran to General Xu's residence with a smile on his face.

After a few days, news of Princess Nanchu and Daxiang's marriage suddenly came from the middle of Beijing. It is said that the person to be married is a nobleman from the capital who has been away for many years. On the Beijing road, but Yushi was one step ahead of the two, and came to the capital to announce the good news first.

Lin Su, who was listening to the book with Young Master Xu, was shocked when he heard the news, and dropped the chopsticks on the table.

A native of the capital, who has been away for many years, aristocrat, the ritual system of marriage bestowed by the emperor... Shen Yinheng, how dare you?

How dare you marry someone else...

"Lin Su, are you okay? Maybe it's not the prince. Doesn't the emperor often go south for private visits? Maybe it's the prince who is living outside?" Xu Yan, in order to comfort Lin Su, spoke indiscriminately for a while, but Lin Su looked at him warningly. glance.

Young Master Xu shrank his neck shyly, and looked around cautiously. Fortunately, he was always timid and spoke in a low voice, and everyone was listening to the books lively. No one heard what he said, so he patted his chest in relief. .

"It's him." Lin Su was silent for a while, his originally fierce eyes gradually became silent, leaving only an indelible indifference.

Every time at this time, Xu Yan would feel a sigh. The young boy who was domineering and domineering back then had turned into what he is now, as indifferent as ice.

He always remembered that when he was bullied by the two sons of Dafang, Lin Su, who was only ten years old, walked up to the two of them without fear, and stood in front of one of them. With a slap, he threw it on the opponent's face.

The person who was beaten was stunned and didn't recover for a long time. The other person subconsciously backed away. Lin Su ignored the two of them and pulled Xu Yan who was on the ground to leave.

At that time, Lin Su could clearly see the openness and fearlessness in his eyes. It seemed that he was spoiled and brought up, and he was completely different from Xu Yan.

"I heard that Miss Mingyue in Huai Fengyue recently released a new song, which has already been priced at 500 taels by those dudes. I don't know if I can take advantage of Second Young Master Lin to listen to a free song." Xu Yan suddenly said Sigh, the intention to change the subject is too obvious.

Lin Su is well-known in the capital, besides the reputation of being spoiled lawlessly, there is also a confidante like Mingyue, the Huai Fengyue oiran, who bluntly said that as long as the second young master Lin goes to listen to the music, it will be free.

"Then go and listen to what new song it is." Lin Su didn't reject his offer, and Shi Shiran walked towards the next street, Huai Fengyue.

Huai Fengyue has always been the leader of Hualou in the capital, so many high-ranking officials and nobles are drunk in this gentle town of spring, wine and green, and Mingyue, as the leader of the oiran for five years in a row, naturally has the same limelight for a while.

Pushing open the door of the Spring Breeze Pavilion with ease, Lin Su greeted Mingyue, and then she was lying on the imperial concubine outside the screen. Xu Yan, who was following behind, couldn't let go. Enter the guest room.

"What does Second Young Master Su want to hear today?" Mingyue asked softly inside the curtain.

"Just the new track that costs 500 taels a piece." Lin Su responded casually, closing those indifferent peach blossom eyes.

"Okay." Mingyue said, picked up the pipa, and plucked the strings lingeringly.

This is a song about a girl who misses her lover. From the throbbing of the two acquaintances to the lingering love, the tune also changed from brisk to enthusiastic. Later, as the lover left, the tune was full of resentment and longing. Mingyue fingered The speed and amplitude also began to slow down.

Mingyue deserves to be Huai Fengyue's oiran, in addition to her astonishing beauty, her musical talent is also her unique advantage.

The warm pavilion was filled with aloes, and Lin Su gradually fell asleep as he listened.

Seeing that there was no sound outside, Mingyue stopped the strings in her hand, walked out with the blanket in her arms, smiled at Xu Yan, covered Lin Su with the blanket, and then lay down on the side of the imperial concubine, staring at Lin Su as if no one else was there. , the infatuation on his face is moving.

Xu Yan was bored playing with the fan in his hand, waiting for Lin Su to wake up and go home together.

With the lesson from last time, Xu Yan dare not leave Lin Su alone again.

The head can be broken, the blood can flow, but Lin Su must not be lost.This has become Xu Yan's code of conduct.
