"Using writing to make friends, only virtue makes neighbors." Lin Qiu was so mesmerized by the ten short words, his eyes followed the strokes of the pen, and he held his breath.

This sentence comes from Tang Zuyong's "Qingming Banquet Sixun Liu Langzhong Bieye".

After Liao Qing finished writing, he put down the pen. After a while, Lin Qiu came to his senses. He held the piece of paper and asked blushingly, "I don't know if I can keep this piece of paper for my younger brother to copy..."

Lin Qiu said this was still very embarrassing, his eyes were evasive, and he was embarrassed to look at Liao Qing's face.

"Okay, you can just take it, but—" Liao Qing put it off.

Sure enough, hooked by Liao Qing's handwriting, Lin Qiu couldn't wait to get caught, and asked Liao Qing impatiently, "Just what?"

Liao Qing smiled cheerfully, "It's just that I have a younger brother in my family. I haven't been enlightened for a long time. I'm busy on weekdays. I can't take him with me to teach him personally. I'm going to hire a teacher for him. I think Brother Lin is very good in knowledge and conduct. I don't know if Brother Lin would like to be my younger brother's husband." Liao Qing shook his fan.

Lin Qiu hesitated a little.

"This..." Lin Qiu's hand holding the paper tightened and then let go quickly to see how the paper was doing, he was relieved to see Wuyangcheng.

Liao Qing laughed in his heart when he saw it.

"My younger brother is very well-behaved and easy to discipline. He was enlightened with Brother Liao. He also writes well and has a good memory. Please don't refuse, sir." Zhang Xiaoli also spoke. It doesn't make sense to say that Liao Qing is also for Zhang Xiaolin But he, the elder brother, didn't say a word at the side.

"This..." Lin Qiu hesitated, mainly because he really wanted the words, and he didn't resist teaching, but there was one thing...

"Brother Lin, do you have something to hide? If you don't tell me, I'm not the kind of person who squeezes people's weaknesses and threatens others." Liao Qing shook his fan, smiling softly and beautifully, and he looked friendly.

Lin Qiu sighed, put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the low table, and then told Liao Qing...

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my reputation may be a hindrance to your young master..." Lin Qiu felt depressed, and the flush on his face that had just been excited faded away, and his skin looked pale and sickly. Light and fluffy.

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, I can still tell what kind of person Brother Lin is. I secretly think that Brother Lin's conduct is absolutely incapable of doing anything that insults the gentlemen!" Liao Qing interrupted without hesitation. Lin Qiu's self-analysis.

Lin Qiu sighed. He never expected that the one who really believed in him was actually a confidant he met by chance when he was at his worst. Feeling so sad, he drank some tea like wine.

"Thank you Brother Liao for your trust. In fact, I have always felt that there is a big problem with that matter. It's just that I have no power and power, and I am only a young scholar. My arms can't twist my thighs, and no one listens to my explanations..." Lin Qiu sighed, his heart was clear, but no matter what he said, no one would believe him, and gradually no one said anything to him, and he didn't want to say it.

"That happened like this..." Lin Qiu drank tea to moisten his throat, and began to talk about his bad luck.

Lin Qiu was really a genius among the students. He passed the scholar examination at the age of 14. At that time, it was considered an uproar. A child prodigy's name fell on Lin Qiu.

It's just that he was more miserable. After preparing for three years, he was going to take the Juren examination, but his grandfather passed away. He had no choice but to observe his filial piety. He studied while observing his filial piety. Unfortunately, his aunt fell into the pond and drowned, so she could only miss the exam. On the third time, his mother was not in good health, and when it was the eve of the exam, she ran out of fuel and let go. Human life, one guard for another three years...

Liao Qing couldn't bear to listen to it, he was really an unlucky child.

In fact, this is nothing, although he has been keeping his filial piety, but fortunately, Lin Qiu has not forgotten to study at all. Instead, he reads every day, which can be said to be full of economics. one……

Although he is only a small scholar, he copied books for others, sold calligraphy and paintings, and his family life was okay, but the good times didn't last long...

After keeping his mother's filial piety, he was going to take the exam for the fourth time, but this time it went very smoothly. After the exam, and with a lot of accumulation, Lin Qiu felt that he did very well in the exam.

However, on the second day after the exam, Lin Qiu went to the teacher's house, and together with a few classmates who took the exam together, went to the house of the master, the head of Qishan Academy, to drink and answer questions together.

Lin Qiu didn't drink well, so he got excited after answering the questions during the dinner, and couldn't help drinking more, he was so dizzy, who knows why, when he woke up the next morning, Lin Qiu found that He was on the bed of his teacher's daughter, and his clothes were disheveled. Before he could react, he was caught and raped by the head of the mountain and his classmates...

The little junior sister didn't say anything, just cried silently, but it seemed that his crime was confirmed...

If he really lost his morals after drinking, he would admit it, but obviously, it wasn't. Although he doesn't hear things outside the window, he is quite good at knowing people. He can see that a senior brother's face malice...

He knew that person. His name was Zhu Yi. He was the son of a rich man. He hadn't passed the exam after four times. He was always jealous of him and always led people to fight against him...

But Lin Qiu really didn't expect that people can be so dirty.

In the end, the teacher saw that his daughter's cinnabar mole was still there, so he was going to suppress it, and it would not prevent his daughter from getting married. It's just that Lin Qiu, a student, didn't plan to have it...

Lin Qiu thought that this incident was over, but he never expected that this incident was just the beginning.

I don't know when, rumors spread in the streets and alleys that Lin Qiu broke into his teacher's backyard and misbehaved with his teacher's daughter...

Rumors are getting bigger and bigger, and it was Zhu Yi who spread the money behind his back. The lady of the teacher's family couldn't bear the rumors and hanged herself. Now, the teacher who was going to talk about marriage with Lin Qiu was also completely cold. down face...

As a result, Lin Qiu lost everything for a while, his reputation was discredited, he was pointed at by others, he was scolded as a villain, he killed the young lady of his teacher's family, he didn't take responsibility, he was a villain...

Lin Qiu was dropped from the list just released...

When his father heard the news, one of them couldn't hold on, he pushed it over, and he had a stroke when he woke up. He couldn't hold on half a year ago, and he left, leaving him alone...

……

Liao Qing took a deep breath.

What an unlucky child, Liao Qing didn't know where to begin to pity him so badly.

Liao Qing sighed, supported Lin Qiu with red eyes, and patted his back.

"Of course I can't blame Brother Lin for this matter. It's just that some people have bad hearts and designed Brother Lin. Naturally, Liao believes in Brother Lin's character." Liao Qing put the fan on his waist and handed it to Lin Qiu. I bought a towel.

Lin Qiu picked it up, but didn't cry, but his eyes continued to be red.

"I'm soft-spoken, and no one listens to me. It's ridiculous to avoid me." Lin Qiu sighed, feeling full of drama in his heart that his work had been lost by him.

"So, Mr. Liao, please hire Gao Ming. I'm afraid my reputation will hurt your younger brother." Lin Qiu is still a very honest person.

"No, I think brother Lin is very suitable." Liao Qing smiled, just as the second child came to serve, Liao Qing stopped talking.

Lin Qiu said half and kept the other half, and Lin Qiu felt itchy in his heart, not knowing the reason for Liao Qing.

After the dishes were served and the waiter went out, the three of them could talk.

"I don't know what Brother Liao means?" Lin Qiu asked Liao Qing impatiently.

Liao Qing smiled confidently, "Because I believe in my own vision."

"But..." Liao Qing frowned, hesitating.

For a long time, he has been looked at coldly, ridiculed, and pointed at by others, but it has been a long time since no one told him that he thinks he can do it.

Lin Qiu was excited, but the fire and wine went out after a while.

"It's not good. No matter how much brother Liao believes in me, he still has to think about your brother. My reputation is not good enough to be a good example to others. I can't escape the blame for bringing down the students." Lin Qiu declined.

Liao Qing could see in his heart that Lin Qiu still wanted to do it, and the two of them got along well, but Lin Qiu usually kept his ears to the outside world and only read sage books to understand the world. There are too few, it's hard to say how to get out of the horns all at once, but Liao Qing can see that people's self-confidence has been hit, and they are a little weak...

How many people died under the violence of everyone's language...

"What did Brother Lin say?" Liao Qing was about to break everyone's minds back, "Does Brother Lin think it's your fault?"

"No." Lin Qiu thought that he was just drunk and fell asleep in the front yard, how could he know that someone was plotting against him.

In fact, at the beginning, he didn't think there was anything wrong with him, even if he was kicked out by his mentor, he didn't think he was at fault, but later, when the lady of the mentor's family committed suicide, he wondered if it was his fault... …

Slowly, on the one hand, Lin Qiu felt guilty, and on the other hand, he was being verbally violent and coldly violent. The change in his mood was shocking.

A young man who used to stand in the sun, confident and arrogant, gradually talked less and became dull, this person became sluggish...

For example, at this moment, when Lin Qiu said the sentence, "No", his voice was full of uncertainty...

On the one hand, he felt that he was just designed, and on the other hand, he felt that he had killed the lady of his teacher's family.

"That's right!" Liao Qing gave him a boost, "It's not Brother Lin's fault, but he was killed so badly. Brother Lin is the poor man. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise..."
