Rebirth: Thousand Miles of Smoke

Hey, I can't lift my arms every day. Isn't it thankless? It's better to write, do painting, maybe one day I will have achievements, and I can sell them to support my family. "

"It's not that you don't know the level of my calligraphy and painting. Besides, I also like to read some unofficial biographies. It's hard to talk about defending the country. It's rare for me to be good at it. Just think of it as strengthening your body."

"Okay." Hua Lian didn't care about him anymore, she cleaned the study by herself, and asked back, "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to go back to your house?"

Lin Ziyao was silent for a while: "Go back, brother told me to go back."

They both know who is in the Lin residence, but after all, they are also surnamed Lin, so it would be inappropriate not to go: "Choose two gifts and send them together, and come back after our visit tomorrow, there will be a lantern festival on Mid-Autumn Festival night , How about going to the Lantern Festival together?"

"Okay, okay." As soon as Hualien heard that she could go to the Lantern Festival, she immediately began to fantasize. It would be even better if she could meet a man she likes. After thinking about it, this girl blushed. Lin Ziyao took a sip of tea, Looking at the blue sky outside, I feel more and more that this kind of life is actually quite good.

But at General Sicheng's mansion, Si Chenglie has been hesitating whether he should pay a visit to Lin Ziyao. It has been half a month, but he has never met him again. The more he wants to go, there are many things during this time. He was also delayed, thinking that Lin Ziyao should not misunderstand or something.

"A Lie, what's the matter with you recently? You're so restless, and the court is even arguing with the prime minister. What are you going to do to Qi Ran?" Bai Xing chased after him all the way, Si Chenglie's expression was not very good.

"I probably haven't slept well in the past few days. I will apologize to Qi Ran." As soon as Wei Qiran was mentioned, he came out in official uniform. When Si Chenglie saw him, he hesitated to speak, but Wei Qiran took the picture He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"One thing is one thing, and my father won't mind. They are all serving the country, regardless of this."

Bai Xing also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Qi Ran is tolerant, so don't worry."

Si Chenglie also just smiled, caught sight of Lin Feng, and stepped forward to ask, "Sorry, can I ask how Lin Ziyao is doing recently, is he..."

"Are you talking about Ziyao? He moved to live in the West City. He should be home tomorrow during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He probably won't be here for a long time. Do you have anything to do with him?"

"No, it's fine."

Seeing Lin Feng who was walking away, Si Chenglie felt a little lost, Bai Xing said disapprovingly: "I care about what that kid is doing, he has no virtue and talent, and he has such a dignified appearance..."

"Ah Xing." Wei Qiran stopped Bai Xing's bad words, and frowned slightly. Seeing him like this, Bai Xing had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and his disgust towards Lin Ziyao grew even more in his heart. If it wasn't for him, Qi Ran wouldn't be treating him like this Speak for yourself!snort!

"Brother Lin is not as bad as you said, he also has good points." Si Chenglie wanted to persuade Bai Xing, but he would not know that he would resent him, "Really, besides, he told me that he doesn't actually hate it." you."

Bai Xing was taken aback, turned his head and snorted: "Come on, it's too late to scold me behind my back, I'm just pretending in front of you." He didn't believe that the person he often bullied wouldn't hate him.

"No." Lin Ziyao wouldn't lie to himself, and besides, he said so bluntly that he didn't like Qi Ran, Si Chenglie looked at the person who was still smiling, and his doubts grew, "Forget it, I Go back to the mansion first, if you see my elder brother, tell him, I will go to his place early tomorrow."

"Oh, good." Seeing him leaving in a hurry, Bai Xing looked at Wei Qiran, "Will Qiran go back in my carriage too?"

"No, thank you." Wei Qiran walked ahead, although he was smiling, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, he did not expect that Lin Ziyao...

13. Lin's Family Banquet

When Si Chenglie came to the gate of Lin Ziyao's house in Xicheng, he realized that he had come here unknowingly. The servant sweeping the floor at the door saw that he was wearing an official uniform, and immediately went in to report. Si Chenglie didn't even have time to shout, so he had to follow They went in together.

Before, I wondered why this yard was called Nongben’s small courtyard. I dared to use it as a vegetable garden.

Lin Ziyao, who was squatting in front of a large basin pouring water, heard someone coming, turned around and saw that it was Si Chenglie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Lin Ziyao got up, probably due to anemia, and when he stood up, his eyes darkened, Hua Lian immediately supported him He, Si Chenglie also hurried forward: "Don't come out to have a shower before the illness is cured, why have you lost weight again, haven't you eaten for the past few days?"

Lin Ziyao laughed by himself first, and when Si Chenglie saw his smile, his heart beat faster, and the hand that was holding him retracted all of a sudden.

Lin Ziyao didn't care, turned his head and asked, "What kind of wind brought you here today?"

"I..." Si Chenglie was so asked that he didn't know how to answer, Hua Lian went into the house to get tea, Lin Ziyao smiled and led him to the ginkgo tree.

"Is this ginkgo tree similar to the one in Wanfu Temple? But this tree is only about 30 to [-] years old, so it is naturally not as good as the century-old tree in Wanfu Temple."

"No, it's good." This season happens to be when the leaves fall, and the ginkgo leaves are covered all over the ground. The servant will sweep these leaves into a pile, and then bury them in the soil as fertilizer. After downloading, put away the pile of papers on the stone table.

"Are you still reading these scriptures?"

Lin Ziyao hummed: "I copied it from Wanfu Temple. I'm quite interested in this Sanskrit, so I just took it out to have a look. Brother Sicheng, please sit down."

Looking at the smiling person, Si Chenglie couldn't tell what was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Lin Ziyao was still Lin Ziyao, and he was still called Brother Sicheng. He would smile at himself, but even he was Feel a little different.

"Brother Lin, before..."

"Brother Sicheng, how about we play a game of chess?" Lin Ziyao took out the chess box under the table, what Si Chenglie originally wanted to say suddenly choked in his throat, and he didn't say it.

"Alright, we haven't played chess together for a long time."

The two grabbed the chess pieces and put them on the table. Si Chenglie played the black chess first. Lin Ziyao's chess skills were average before, but he played chess with Master Feijing for nearly a month, and his chess skills improved by leaps and bounds. Even Si Chenglie couldn't bear it.

People say that playing chess is like watching people. Lin Ziyao is suitable for both offense and defense. His own attack is better than defense. His military adviser once said that if a chess player has a strong attack power, it means that this person is suitable for expanding the territory, just like himself. If a chess player is good at defending, then this person is suitable to stay in the court as a civil servant, and it is not difficult at all to defend.

Si Chenglie raised his eyes and looked at the relaxed face of the other party, and the breath in his heart became much calmer. He has been fighting in the battlefield for many years, and his heart is inevitably a little dirty. Sometimes he would go to Wanfu Temple to seek enlightenment from Master Feijing. Only Lin Ziyao felt that there was a piece of pure land in his heart: "In the future, can I come here often?"

"Brother Sicheng regards me as a friend, and I will treat him with sincerity."

"That's inevitable." Si Chenglie said with a grin, even if he was with Lin Ziyao just drinking tea and playing chess, he felt comfortable, far away from the court, and sitting in this Nongben small courtyard was also comfortable.

Lin Ziyao didn't know that Si Chenglie said that he came here often, which meant that he went down to court every day, and then came to sit in his small courtyard, and even scooped water to sprinkle water for the vegetables and fruits in the yard. Lin Ziyao saw someone tending his yard, so naturally He was happy and at ease, lying on the rocking chair and dangling, but also turned a blind eye to the terrified expressions of the other two servants in his family.

After a long time, the family gradually got used to it. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ziyao asked the other two servants to go home for the festival. Hualien had no family members, so naturally he followed Lin Ziyao to the Lin Mansion.

"Master?" Hua Lian called out suddenly as she combed his long hair, her face gradually turned red.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ziyao turned around suspiciously.

The little girl curled her lips and said, "You always wrap your hair like a bun, change it to something else today?"

Lin Ziyao didn't think much about it, and hummed, it's cool anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't tie it up.

It was a bit late when the guards at the door saw Lin Ziyao, but they didn't recognize him at first and even stopped him at the door: "Today the Lin family has a family banquet..."

"I'm Lin Ziyao." Lin Ziyao gave the two of them a strange look, "New here?"

"Sorry, we didn't recognize it." The two immediately bowed respectfully. Since Lin Ziyao saved Queen Rong, his status in the Lin family is obviously different. This made Lin Ziyao feel a little uncomfortable, but he just frowned and raised his eyebrows. Walking in, I didn't see the expressions of the two people behind me looking at each other.

Lin Feng was chatting with various uncles when the butler came in and whispered in his ear that the third young master is here, Lin Feng got up immediately: "Uncles, Ziyao is here, I'll go pick him up."

"It's Ziyao, I said why there is one less person." Several uncles shouted hahaha, in fact, who will remember Lin Ziyao, it's just a joke.

But Lin Feng didn't expose it, he got up and walked out, just happened to run into Lin Ziyao who had just walked to the front yard, after seeing him, he was slightly taken aback, and then went up to meet him.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ziyao asked strangely when he saw him stunned for a moment.

"No, I changed clothes, but I look more and more like your mother." I have never looked at this younger brother carefully before, and I don't know if it is a coincidence, but Lin Ziyao's hair is very similar to that of Aunt Su back then. To, even he was startled.

And Lin Ziyao didn't expect Lin Fengfeng to say that. After all, his childhood memory was very vague, and he couldn't remember what his mother looked like. He could only remember those gentle hands and those tears like pearls.

It is also a coincidence, Hualien is dexterous, his hair is long, and it is easy to coil, but he just uses a hairpin under his left ear
