I see the snow

Moon Heart 03

In the time since then, Lin Kun often mentioned things about his family with Li Sinian.

He told him that their house had bookshelves as high as three storeys of attics; about the cruise ship full of clear dreams in summer; about the crickets under the steps outside his father's study...

Even when the Patriarch of the Lin family sent letters, Lin Kun would find Li Sinian to sit beside him and read them together.

"You are not happy here, do you want to go to another place?"

Once, in the twilight before going to sleep, Lin Kun also asked him.Language: Mu Yixi: Wood.

Li Sinian didn't understand what Lin Kun was up to at that time, he just felt that the spring was over, the sky was full of stars, and the grass beside his ears was buzzing with insects.Next to him lay a young boy in a scholar's uniform.

It would be great if this kind of time could go on forever and ever...

"Well."

He replied drowsily: "Change to another place...but where is he willing to accommodate me?"

Lin Kun didn't answer, just smiled a little, and looked forward to the day when his father would return soon.

"Master Lin returned to Beijing today. After finishing his duties, he will come directly to the mansion to pick up the young master."

In the busy courtyard, Li Changyao frowned tightly, and said displeasedly, "What are you doing here?"

The one in front of him was Li Sinian, who was over ten years old, a half-grown boy who had already grown to some stature.

He stood silently in front of his father, like a thin sword that had just begun to sharpen—although the sharp edge was still drawn, it was already piercing.

"Go, go back to the backyard."

Patriarch Li reprimanded: "Don't be ashamed in front of you!"

"I invited Brother Sinian to come over."

However, suddenly, there was a clear child's voice behind him.

Li Changyao and Li Sinian turned around at the same time, only to see Lin Kun accompanying Lin Huan, raised his head crisply, and said to the two of them.

With a smile on Li Changyao's face for an instant, he walked to Lin Huan politely and greeted him like any scholar-official with both moral and moral integrity:

"Brother Lin, why did you arrive so early! My house hasn't been fully furnished yet."

The Li Mansion, which has been down for a long time, probably hasn't been as lively as it is today for a long time.

The servants were busy walking around, eager to hang up lanterns and arrange delicacies.

The reception banquet prepared by Li's residence is probably richer than that in Lin Huan's own residence.

"Master Li is polite."

Lin Huan was still humble, bowed slightly to salute, and said: "It's been a few months since I left, and I haven't seen Zhenfeng for a long time. Huan misses him very much, so he came here immediately after he came out of Jinghua Palace."

Lin Kun was firmly held by his father, and the head of the Lin family looked at him lovingly, and asked:

"Did you study well in the past few months?"

"I have finished reading the six volumes of the book of war, and there is still half a volume of "Fu of the Cold People."

Lin Kun replied.

The way Patriarch Lin stared at Lin Kun, as well as the behavior of rushing back to visit him immediately after returning to Beijing, undoubtedly indicated that the youngest son of the Lin family, who is famous in the capital of stars and wilds, might really be very fond of Lin Huan.

Even in the Lin Mansion, he is probably the most eccentric child.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is cherished very well and the apple of the eye.

Li Changyao made a judgment in his heart and silently prayed:

I hope that boy Simao will form a good relationship with this little nobleman.

"Young Master Lin has been studying hard in the mansion for half a year, and he has worked very hard."

Instead, the Patriarch of the Li family put on a different face and said with a smile: "You have set a good example for the children in my house."

"Yes."

Lin Huan hung his head and touched the top of Lin Kun's hair, smiling slightly: "In the past, he was also very lazy and didn't like martial arts. When we met today, he took the initiative to mention that he wanted to learn some sword skills. I think it's because of watching The little princes in Brother Li's family practiced swords, and they were quite moved."

"Oh, is it."

Li Changyao suddenly felt flattered, and said with great joy: "It just so happens that the little boy under my knee, Si Mao, is very accomplished in thin-edged swordsmanship, how about—"

"I want brother Sinian to teach me."

However, Lin Kun interrupted the conversation in an instant and said preemptively.

"..."

Patriarch Li's face showed a look of astonishment, and Lin Kun's father went in without knowing it, still smiling, and asked:

"Oh? Si Nian? I don't know which young master from Brother Li's family this is?"

"Yes... the eldest son in the next family."

The Patriarch of the Li family looked a bit embarrassed, and his voice was low: "But he has a stubborn temperament, he is not a good person, and his sword skills are not as good as that of his second son, Simao..."

It cannot be said that it is not a great harm to hear my father say such things with my own ears, and to mention myself to outsiders like this.

Li Sinian stood silently under the eaves, watching these people talking as if he didn't exist, feeling a kind of loneliness away from the crowd.

"Brother Sinian is very good."

However, just when Li Changyao was about to say something to belittle Li Sinian, Lin Kun said: "I like him very much. The bad ones are only those who feel that they are divided into concubines and concubines. Half ashamed."

"..."

Li Changyao looked at the young boy in surprise.Lin Huan scolded softly: "Pillow the wind."

"Father, what, am I wrong?"

Lin Kun went on to say: "You taught Zhenfeng from a young age that you can't choose people from family backgrounds—talented people don't care about their backgrounds. Zhenfeng listens to you in your heart, and what you say today comes from the bottom of your heart."

Lin Huan frowned and looked at his beloved son who was more mature than others since he was a child. Lin Kun remained calm and said, "Brother Sinian is a good talent in martial arts, and he is also the younger generation who is the best at using Li's thin-edged sword." ——All the soldiers on the school grounds can testify to this.”

"Zhenfeng would like to invite elder brother Sinian to live in the house for a short time, and be Zhenfeng's martial arts teacher; he will also provide a perch for the young eagles, and become a future Kunpeng."

"..."

The two adults froze in place. Although they are the heads of the family, they must have never encountered such a frank and straight-forward situation as Lin Kun.

After a long while, Lin Huan laughed first. As if he had no choice but to use his son with many tricks, he smiled and sighed, and said apologetically to Li Changyao:

"Then, I have no choice... I can only ask, brother Changyao, are you willing to give up your love?"

Li Changyao was stunned at first, but then he slowly realized——

It's a pity that Si Mao didn't get Lin Kun's blue eyes, but Li Sinian is also a member of Li's family, if he makes a mistake, it will be beneficial and harmless if he can make friends with Lin Kun.

"This……"

The cunning and tactful man only paused for a second, then immediately laughed and said, "Of course I am very willing! Si Nian—"

At this moment, his tone became affectionate again, as if any loving father would call his beloved son by his name:

"Father and Uncle Lin are also childhood friends. When you go to Lin's mansion, you must take good care of Little Master Zhenfeng, and take care of him as if you were a younger brother. You must not be negligent!"

Li Sinian hesitated for a moment, he didn't expect such a development when Lin Kun called him over today.

But before he could react, Lin Kun held his hand, looked up at the boy who was slightly taller than him, and said with a slight smile:

"Okay, from now on, elder brother Sinian will be the same as my biological elder brother, no matter whether it's for living in the house or receiving gifts outside—"

"If someone treats brother Sinian harshly, it's like treating me Lin Kun harshly; if someone insults brother Sinian, just wait for me to come and settle the score with me!"

"..."

Patriarch Li and Patriarch Lin met each other's eyes, and after a while, they both burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Li Sinian stared at this exquisite little boy who was as intelligent as a porcelain doll:

For the first time in my life, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.It seems that he must want to protect something, must... must pay for something.

In the dark night when everyone ignored him and trampled on him, suddenly a person reached out to him.

He thought he wouldn't feel wronged, he was already used to being bullied, and he accepted his fate for everything.Will not feel unhappy, and will not want to argue with others.

But suddenly there is such a person who devotes time and energy to his humble and humble self, and vents his anger on him, he...

Li Sinian looked at Lin Kun and thought silently in his heart.

I will always protect you.Just like the most devout gods guarding the bright moon.

Moon Heart 04

The bamboo forest outside Yushitai is lush and lush, and the gentlemen in the lush flowers sway slightly with the wind, making a whirling sound of "rustle".

The hot summer has been completely isolated from the bamboo forest. In the depths of this quiet forest, there are only the sound of reading books and fierce rebuttals.

The straight backs of the scholars are supporting this prosperous future together.

It has been ten years since Lin Kun and Li Sinian became childhood sweethearts, and Li Sinian moved into Lin's mansion.

"Senior Brother Lin, good morning."

Along the way, from entering the gentleman's forest to the gate of the academy, many scholars greeted Lin Kun.

The corners of Lin Kun's lips were slightly raised. Although he was not good at words, he nodded with a light smile.

Linlang Academy - a famous academy that lives next to Yushitai, probably everyone in the entire Hoshino City knows about it.

Because it is the most elusive place for all literati, and it is also the cradle of experience for the censors of all dynasties before they entered the censor platform.

It can be said that when you enter Linlang Academy, you have already stepped into the magnificent Yushitai with half a foot.

This can be seen especially from the fact that Dr. Yushitai is also the dean of the academy.

"You trash, if there is another time, I will also discount your legs!!"

However, as he gradually approached Yushitai, Lin Kun heard the sound of scolding from the window of the study.

It was the voice of an old man with a vicissitudes of life, mixed with it, and the sound of "ding dong" walking sticks——

"If you had a conscience, you wouldn't do such shameful things!"

Walking into the inner courtyard of the study, Lin Kun paused slightly.

The old man's scolding continued inside, and after the cane was hurriedly struck on the ground, there was the muffled sound of the wooden stick hitting the body.

But strangely, the party being punished in the study didn't make the slightest sound, just silently insisted, as if never admitting his mistake, and seemed to be arrogant and indifferent in favor of favor.

Lin Kun is very familiar with this situation. He is the youngest son of his teacher, Doctor Royal Envoy.

The old Yushi doctor is over seventy years old after the new year.

However, because Yushitai has no successors in recent years, only the old Yushi is struggling to support him, so he has not died so far.

A heart of loyalty and integrity, guarding the turbid and crumbling court, can protect the last pure land.

However, it is very regrettable that the only son of the old censor is very incompetent.

Because she had a son in old age, Mrs. Yushi doted on her son extremely, raised her son lawlessly, and did some stupid things all day long.

Every time the old censor mentions this son, he dares to disgrace his face and keep his shame.

Since Lin Kun became a student of the dean, he has encountered this kind of thing five times if not seven times.

As usual, he was silently outside the door, just waiting quietly.

About half an hour later, the old censor sternly reprimanded him with sticks, and finally stopped because of his physical strength.

"Get out!"

Lin Kun turned sideways slightly, and then, a young man in messy green clothes and sweating profusely walked out with his head bowed.

Lin Kun looked at his back, and it was clear that he was only [-] years old, but he seemed to be over [-] years old.

There is a bloatedness of long indulgence.

"Pillow wind."

When the old censor saw Lin Kun outside the door, he sighed softly, and said with some panting, "Come in."

Lin Kun walked in slowly and saluted:

"teacher."

"The family is unfortunate."

The old censor smiled wryly: "I made you laugh."

Lin Kun pursed his lips and shook his head slightly:

"No."

"Hey, the old man has been upright all his life, but he didn't expect to give birth to such a thing."

The old censor sighed in disappointment: "A gentleman will be killed in the fifth generation. Although I have never thought about how to have a son who can honor the lintel, I also don't want to make such a harmful and useless bastard for Sheng Yang. I am ashamed. Ancestors."

Lin Kun never commented on the teacher's family affairs, and now he just listened silently without interrupting.

"I knew it was such a wicked child... I don't care if I don't give birth!"

Seeing the file in Lin Kun's hand, the old censor took a breath, regained his composure, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Come on, why are you looking for me today?"

"It's because of the dam building on the upper reaches of the Goddess River."

Lin Kun replied.

Shengyang often suffers from floods, especially because the terrain on the west side of Hoshino Capital is low, and the tide often rises every summer.

Residents on both sides of the Shennv River in the suburbs almost prayed to Buddha and God to avoid floods in those years.

After repeated struggles, the imperial court finally agreed to build a dam on the upper reaches of the Shennv River.

But for some reason, it has been three years, and there is no progress in the construction of the dam, and the money is still being spent like water.Seeing that the funds allocated by the court will soon be used up.

"Among the inspectors responsible for the construction of the embankment, 13 are clan relatives of Zhao Shangshu, seven are relatives of Lord Qin, 29 are party members of three princes, and their cooperative merchant... is Shanxi merchant Zhu Shifeng."

When the old censor was reading the case file, Lin Kun briefly recounted the content of the case file.

But it wasn't until I said it myself that I realized how absurd it was—out of a total of 49 dam repair inspectors, [-] of them came from the influence of various court officials...!

There are only 11 people who are helpless and hired by themselves.

And it doesn't matter whether these 11 people have corrupt conduct or selfishness.

It's really strange that this dam can be repaired.

"The sky is full of catastrophes, and the people are in dire straits. When they go back to the imperial court to allocate money, they end up getting rich in the pockets of these silverfish!"

The old censor sighed, and his anger was beyond words: "Okay...that's great! These people haven't waited for such an easy opportunity to make money? I'm afraid, when they burn incense and worship Buddha every year, they always get more money." Show some floods and droughts!"

"..."

The old censor slapped the table and case loudly, and because of the sudden surge of Qi and blood, he was so dizzy that he leaned on the back of the chair to pant.

Lin Kun looked at these case files silently - he had read them long before they were submitted.

How unbelievable and unacceptable it was at the time, and it has gradually become calm now.

"The flood season is approaching this year, and floods have already occurred in many places outside the capital of Hoshino."

Lin Kun said: "The matter of the dam is urgent. I don't know what the teacher thinks about it."

"This nest of snakes and rats always acts in cliques."

The old censor said: "Qin Yuqing is fine, the crux of this matter lies in the Minister of Rites and the prince's remnants."

"——In the Ministry of Rites, the man surnamed Zhao is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and there are countless people waiting to replace him... He usually dare not act without authorization. But this person is a fool, holding this big Buddha for a while, and walking next to that one for a while. Arhat, I am afraid that he was doing it with a few princes in the dike and dam, which gave him courage."

"However, just these few princes are already very difficult."

Lin Kun said slowly: "Most of the concubines that His Majesty loves are gifts from them. Even the concubine next to the pillow of the current emperor is the biological daughter of Prince An."

"..."

The old censor was silent, as if he had thought of many ideas, but finally felt that it was not feasible.The mouth was slightly opened several times, and then closed again.

After a long time, thousands of words, but only one sentence: "...Your Majesty, you are so confused!!"

However, it is useless to say more.

Lin Kun and the imperial envoy are all very clear about the situation in the temple at this time.

"Your Majesty usually doesn't care about political affairs, but he attaches great importance to the reputation of the history behind him."

After a while, the old censor spoke slowly: "If something goes wrong with the construction of the embankment, it will affect the livelihood of thousands of people. It must be something that has been scolded for thousands of years. If I meet with you in the future, I will mention this matter with Your Majesty again."

"I will also find some fellow disciples and give advice again."

Lin Kun nodded, and said: "And my father... If it is not possible, please ask him to mention a little bit in front of His Royal Highness."

"Zhoufeng, you are indeed a good censor."

Doctor Yushi stared at the talented young man in front of him, and agreed: "Do you really not want to come to Yushitai right now?"

"Pillowwind is stupid, and I want to study in the academy for a few more years."

Lin Kun smiled slightly and said, "In the spring of the next year, if you can rank in the list, you will vote for the teacher to work hard."

The imperial envoy nodded: "Your Lin family is indeed only engaged in learning, not in the temple."

"But now, even you...the son of the Lin family has to get involved in this muddy water...!"

The tone was sad and resentful, and it was hard to tell whether it was regret or resentment from reality.

"Use is the book."

Lin Kun shook his head, and said, "I'm full of knowledge, but I can't save anyone, so I don't care if I don't read this book. Zhenfeng never agrees with Lin's family rules."

The old censor looked at Lin Kun with admiration, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is looking at the most proud disciple in his life.

——It's like in the snowstorm, when one fire-wielder is exhausted, watching another fire-wielder.

He will hand over to him the torch that he has lit all his life, and continue to pass it on...

"If my son can have half of your talents, how wonderful it would be...!"

In the end, after all, he could only sigh with hatred.

"If there is nothing wrong, Zhenfeng will leave first."

Lin Kun smiled slightly and saluted.Seeing that there were others waiting outside the door, he voluntarily backed away sideways.

"It's Yushi Zhongcheng."

Seeing the person waiting outside the window, the imperial envoy put away his smile, frowned slightly at the person whose face was full of flattery, and said coldly: "Mo Bihuan, come in."

Mo Bihuan is also the censor in the censor's platform, but for some reason, he has not been liked by the imperial envoy.

However, this person is also very miraculous, he has a smile on his face, no matter how indifferent others treat him, he can put it on without seeing it and have a good time.

The imperial envoy said to him: "Hiding a knife on a smiling face. It's not worth entrusting."

"Mr. Lin, go out."

When passing by, Mo Bihuan smiled kindly and greeted.

Lin Kun was not familiar with this person, so he greeted him slightly when he saw this, and then walked out of the study courtyard.

Indistinctly, it seemed that Mo Bihuan had also mentioned the dam outside the city, and the doctor of the imperial censor indifferently reprimanded: "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask about it!!"

……

Walking out of Junzilin, far away, I saw a very tall and straight figure waiting for him.

The man was wearing a black soft robe representing the forbidden army in the palace, with a thin, thin-edged knife hanging from his waist.

A gold-plated rose is carved on the hilt of the knife, other than that, the entire blade is pitch black.

It exudes an indescribable chill and nobility.

Lin Kun saw that his eyes were far away from him, and his back was turned towards him. He couldn't help but walked over and patted him on the left shoulder quietly. When he subconsciously turned his head, he appeared from the right and said with a smile:

"Si Nian."

Only then did Li Sinian come to his senses, he was helpless at his best friend's naughty teasing, and said with a slight smile:

"You."

As soon as the two of them met, they immediately hugged each other. Li Sinian buried his breath into Lin Kun's neck, and the sweet and clear Su Hexiang rushed over his face.

What fell into his hands was also an elegant and cool scholar's robe, under which was a thin and flexible waist.

This is Lin Kun's childhood sweetheart, Li Sinian, who is also the youngest Habayashi commander in Jinghua Palace.

"Are you tired today?"

After being gentle for a while, Li Sinian reluctantly let go of his embrace, but still half-armed Lin Kun, put his hands on his waist, and asked, "Isn't it hard work to report to Doctor Yushi? — After all, your teacher The entire Hoshino Capital knows about his severe reputation."

"No way."

Lin Kun is gentle and gentle. In front of Li Sinian, he always seems to have a different meaning besides his usual coldness and elegance.

"The teacher has a sincere heart, only the world does not know, so there are so many misunderstandings."

Lin Kun said softly: "Actually, he is a funny old man with a bit more humor than ordinary old men."

The corners of Li Sinian's lips curled up, and he just kissed Lin Kun's forehead lightly, as if extremely affectionate, extremely cherished and gentle.

"Let's go, I heard that Bazhai Fang has released new cakes, go and try them."

After a long while, finally having enough time, Li Sinian took Lin Kun's hand, held the slender and lonely fingers in his palm, and said: "My salary happened to be released today, and I will treat you to eat bamboo shoots stuffed with roses until you have enough." .”

Lin Kun smiled, and walked towards the outside of the academy with Li Sinian following the rustling wind among the trees and the trivial sunlight leaking through the gaps in the bamboo leaves.

Bazhaifang is built in the busiest area where people come and go, and you need to pass through many streets and alleys to walk all the way.

"It seems that there have been more refugees in the city recently."

When passing by the black alley, Lin Kun looked at the homeless man with empty eyes and yellow and thin face inside, and said with a frown.

"Because of the Canglan incident."

Li Sinian said indifferently: "Since the defeat of the Duke of Zhenguo and the loss of Canglan to the people of Yanqi, the number of refugees in the city has been increasing unabated. The 'Drum of Prosperity' at the top of the city is also ringing every night."

——Shengshi drum is set up by the imperial court among the people, and it is specially used for the people to express their grievances.

However, sometimes in order to cover up grievances, some yamen will specially send people to stand by the Shengshi Drum to take away those troublemakers.

Those who really have a big grievance in their hearts can only do everything possible to beat the prosperity drum at night, in order to pray that the vague drum sound can pass through the deep pavilions and convey the holy hearing.

"Your Majesty forbids anyone to bring up the case of Cang Lan."

Lin Kun said in silence: "I will not punish the Duke of Zhen for the crime of abandoning the city and fleeing; nor will I pay attention to those memorials that believe that Duke Zhen defected. I don't know...what is he thinking in his heart."

"Oh?"

Li Sinian asked: "What do you think of Zhenfeng? How about the matter of Canglan?"

"I don't think Lord Zhen is a snake and mouse who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and ignores the comfort of the people."

Lin Kun shook his head and said, "I hope His Majesty can thoroughly investigate the case of Canglan. But... for the seventh son left behind in his family... Yinzhichuan."

He paused, frowning very clearly: "I don't like it."

The corners of Li Sinian's lips curled up, and he shook Lin Kun's hand and said, "For Zhichuan, I have met several times during autumn hunting together."

"He wasn't a rascal at all... It's just that his father and brother in the family passed away, so he became drunk and dreamy in Yanliu Lane, which is ridiculous."

"—Perhaps, those who are too lonely can sleep peacefully only in the midst of lively human voices."

"do you know?"

Lin Kun didn't know what to think of, and suddenly said: "I know that my teacher is not a purely incorruptible person. He... changed the history of the country for the Holy One."

Li Sinian frowned and looked sideways at Lin Kun.Listen attentively.

"The sage valued leaving a name in history, and often ordered Zhuo Lang to erase those bad things that happened in the past from the history books... But usually the historians who can edit history are unwilling to do it, and the flatterers who are willing to be flattering people are not capable of editing history—— Just like Jinling Ye Family, Ye Qingming. I think you know it... But, only my teacher always does it for him."

"—I don't know whether this is a tragedy for the country or a blessing for the country."

Lin Kun showed some indescribably complicated emotions, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty has not asked about the government for a long time, but luckily he still cares about it... If he really doesn't care about anything, then he will be called the Censor of the World Helpless—my teacher, when whitewashing the history books for him, often traded them for the survival strategy that the people of the world urgently need to solve.”

Li Sinian: "..."

Under some splendid rivers and mountains that seem to be in a peaceful and prosperous age, the inner skin is lifted, but it is so miserable that it is full of white maggots and lice.

Li Sinian didn't speak, just looked at Lin Kun, listening to him silently.

"The teacher seldom mentioned it to me, but I only heard him say once in class, 'When the water is clear, there will be no fish'."

Lin Kun lowered his head with a low smile, and there was confusion in his eyes: "But I don't know what justice in this world is like: must the justice of the living be more important than the dead?... Teacher It is said that a livelihood that benefits the people can save tens of millions of people, but that line in the history books has passed away after all.”

In the dark night, Lin Kun looked at Li Sinian: "But sometimes I also think that behind those simple lines, there are thousands of lives in vain."

"If even their painful deaths can't leave a trace in history... that would be too sad. When people mention the Yunhua Dynasty in later generations, they only know that singing and dancing have flourished in the past 20 years. Man-made disasters cost their lives in vain. They have knowledge in the spring, seeing the fatuous king loved by thousands of people, with a long history, how do they feel?"

"..."

Li Sinian was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Pillow wind—"

"I didn't mean that the teacher was bad."

Lin Kun interrupted him, saying, "I just... feel lost."

Bazhaifang has arrived, and amidst the crowds, Li Sinian and Lin Kun looked at each other silently.

After a long time, Li Sinian hugged Lin Kun.

He has a much easier life than Lin Kun, because his rules of doing things don't think too much, and it's easy to implement——

That is Lin Kun.

The thing he guards is only one person:

If that person is happy, then he is happy; if that person is sad, then he is sad; if that person is sad, then he is also sad.

"Let's go a little further."

Seeing that Li Sinian took two pieces of Liuxin Huaihua biscuits and beef bone crisps from the shopkeeper and held them in his arms, Lin Kun said, "This place is not far from the Goddess River. It just so happens that we can go to the upper reaches. The teacher promised to ask me again." Your Majesty, please tell us about the repair of the dike—I just don’t know, when he introduces it, he will replace the mourning of the people with the scene of the prosperous age...?"

Moon Heart 05

"People stand in small courtyards and deep courtyards, smoke all the sticks, and throw away the broken embroidery threads. This spring is as close as last year..."

From far away, I heard the faint singing from the Hualiu Pavilion on both sides of the river: "Dawn came to see the plum pass, and the make-up was broken. You leaned on the railing with your Yichun bun on your side. You can't stop cutting, the reason is still chaotic, boring for no reason. I have ordered Urging flowers and birds to take advantage of spring to see..."[*Note 1]

"It's not me bragging. In this capital of stars and fields, even a few princes don't live as happily as I do!"

"Brother Xu, don't be polite to me, let's be together today, we won't go home without getting drunk!..."

"Young master, you have been in the future for a long time, Mianmian misses you so much..."

"Don't be sensible! Don't bother to talk to adults, hurry up and invite adults to taste the newly brewed wine in our pavilion——"

……

The hustle and bustle of people's voices is mixed with the warm fragrance of rouge and gouache.

The tortoises are busy going up and down inside and outside the building, the charming women are soliciting business, and the most famous dandies in the Hoshino City are rushing here one after another, spending a lot of money here and getting drunk.

This is the pearl of the capital of the stars and the "silver ribbon" on the outskirts of the city - Goddess River.

In the middle and upper reaches of the Goddess River, there are farmers who are hungry and suffering from waterlogging; below the end of the river, it is a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Even the song and dance building, Qiushui Pavilion, which is second only to Fuyun Tower in the capital of stars, is located here.

In this world, the comparison of tragic contradictions has always been everywhere.

"This year's Yixi Yantang is blooming well."

Lin Kun and Li Sinian walked along the road, looked at the fireworks trees on both sides of the river, and said casually.

——Yixi Yantang is also one of Shengyang's unique flower species.

This kind of crabapple can only bloom for one day, and before it blooms, no one knows what color flowers will be produced from the seeds planted.

Around the suits of Yantang on both sides of the Goddess River, some people will even make a special trip to set up related betting games.

Every spring and summer, wealthy guests in Hoshino City will bring their friends and family members to rent a light boat and float down along the way, without steering or paddling, just floating freely, watching the smoke and trees on both sides of the river like flowers and fog, It's like being in a fairyland in a dream.

While lazily cooking warm wine, they whispered some homely things in soft voices.

On the bright river like Kyaukpa, many shuttle boats floated on the water and floated gently.

Sometimes when meeting like-minded people, they will play the flute and play Xiao, and chime with the owner of the side shuttle boat.

"Are you tired?"

Looking at the shuttle boat floating on the river, Li Sinian asked, "Do you want to rent a boat too, and ask the boatman to take us there?"

Lin Kun was not tired at first, but he also thought that throughout the year, the boatmen on the Goddess River also hoped that they could earn some money to make ends meet when the tangerines were in full bloom.

In the usual off-season, it may be difficult to wait for a tenant in three to five days.

"Let's go."

Seeing his hesitation, Li Sinian smiled and took Lin Kun's hand, and pulled him forward: "It's a rare sight to see flowers and trees on the river with the wind blowing in the summer night, don't miss it."

"...No...it's not about the gold baht..."

However, when he got closer, he heard rustling on the pier, and the sound of two people arguing.

It was a man in Tsing Yi with a slightly chubby back. He was holding a bag of gold baht, and he kept stuffing it into the hands of the weak girl beside him.

"We're just boatmen, we can't take you along the banks of the river..."

The girl's voice was low and her head was lowered. Looking from her back, she seemed to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Then add more, add more—"

However, in the face of rejection, what the man thought of was not giving in, but throwing a higher weight: "I will give you as much as you want...all of it!"

There were people coming and going at the pier, and many people had already noticed the movement here, and turned their heads to watch.

The woman's cheeks were already flushed—under the watchful eyes of so many people, she was embarrassed to be involved with others, emotionally and rationally.

"Xiaoxian, not bad."

A middle-aged boatman next to her whistled at her: "I heard that your father is repairing the river embankment upstream, and your brother and mother are both suffering from madness, and life is very hard-but, look, it won't happen right away. Is it time for a transfer!"

The sarcasm that was neither light nor serious caused a burst of laughter from the side.

But the girl named Xiaoxian was still pushing back, her cheeks became redder and hotter, she was extremely embarrassed and humiliated, but there was no way to break free——

"Your father is building a river dam upstream?"

At this time, Mr. Tsing Yi heard the important point, he held the woman's hand tightly, and kept saying: "My father, my father is a doctor from Yushitai, you have allowed me, and I will ask him to promote your father to be a supervisor !"

"...Young Master Liangyu?"

While they were chattering, a cold and clear voice came from behind, half surprised and half stunned.

Han Liangyu's hands froze, he turned his head sideways, and saw Lin Kun and Li Sinian who came to lead the boat with other boatmen.

"..."

The scene that Han Liangyu didn't want to encounter the most was this.

He froze on the spot, and the girl took the opportunity to break away from his clenched hands. Others pointed and looked over.

"You...why are you here."

Lin Kun hesitated to speak, and asked slowly.

——That's right, this dandy who behaves unrestrainedly and disturbs others is his teacher, the youngest son of the imperial envoy doctor.

But Lin Kun only saw him being reprimanded in the morning. He didn't expect that in just half a day, the prodigal son who had been beaten up by his father revealed his true colors again.

Han Liangyu stood still for a long while, and after a while, he gradually came back to his senses, a ferocious and resentful expression appeared on his indulgent face:

"Lin Zhenfeng, you really love at the right time."

Lin Kun frowned. To be honest, he didn't like to meddle in his teacher's family affairs.But seeing the son of a mentor go out and ruin the teacher's reputation and cause trouble, he also doesn't want to see it.

"My father used to say how talented you are and how pure your heart is."

The man in Tsing Yi named Han Liangyu sarcastically said: "But."

He glanced at the Qiushui Pavilion on both sides of the Goddess River not far away, and pointed out: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin, it's so interesting."

"..."

Lin Kun didn't want to argue with him, so he just frowned and looked at him from a certain distance, but he didn't back down.

After a long while, Lin Kun said: "Zhenfeng is not a person who is so stunning, but because of the teacher's selfless teaching, he has grown a little from ignorance."

"But the teacher loves the most, and the one who hopes to become a man the most, is naturally the good young master who the teacher also worked hard to raise."

Han Liangyu let out a cold "hum" and shook his sleeves.

"It's getting late."

Lin Kun slowed down his tone slightly, and persuaded: "Brother Liang Yu, why don't you go back earlier and have dinner with Master and Mistress. They have been waiting for you... If you are later, the food will be cold."

This is already an invisible gift
