Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

Another winter has passed, and the capital city in early spring is cold and chilly.While I was reciting a book at the desk in my jacket, Yoshiyoshi walked in from the outside without touching the ground.

"Master Chun, there's a letter from the mansion!"

I hurriedly put down my pen and found that Liangji seemed particularly happy today, so I couldn't help asking: "Why are you so happy?"

"Master Chun, read it for yourself." He handed the letter to me.

I understood why Liangji was so happy when I saw the words on the envelope. This is a letter from my father.After studying in the capital for more than two years, my father never wrote me a letter home.

"Master Chun, why are you in a daze?" Liangji stretched out his hand and shook it at me.I recovered and took the letter opener out of the drawer.

I opened the letter cautiously, for fear of damaging the letter paper inside.The letter paper in the envelope is not thick, but two sheets.I read the contents of the letter word by word, fearing that I might make a mistake, so I read it again from the beginning, only to believe that my father's letter was not a reprimand, but a compliment.

"Liangji." I looked up at Liangji, "Father, he... praised me, and he also said, that this year my eldest brother will come to Beijing, and he asked my eldest brother to come and see me."

Liangji's eyes lit up, "That's great, Master Chun, I knew you would be able to do it. When the young master comes, he will definitely take the young master to have a good time in the capital. Master Chun, you have been in the capital for two years, and you haven't gone out much to play. .”

Hearing what Liangji said, the joy in my heart was quenched by a basin of cold water.I turned around and put the letter away, and said in a low voice, "Liangji, I'm craving some spring pancakes."

"I'm going to the kitchen to see if there are any spring pancakes, Master Chun, wait a minute."

After Liangji left, I read the letter twice before putting it in the red lacquer box that contained the family letters written by my mother.

The second collection of poems edited by Xu Dianxue and his friends is said to be selling very well. The poems in my name were without exception composed to music and turned into libretto.

However, in just a few months, the three characters Lin Chundi became somewhat famous in the capital market.

As for Taixue, the eyes of everyone looking at me finally stopped being the gray sparrow eyes that were out of place. Some people began to talk to me and asked me how his new poems were written.

But every time I didn't say a few words, Nie Wenle would appear and drive those people away ferociously.

After Nie Wenle drove those people away, he didn't talk to me, at most he stared at me strangely.I was so scared by him that I could only turn around and leave.

In fact, I thought about it, I can't rely on Lin Zhongtan's writings for a lifetime, he will get tired of me sooner or later, and I can't keep taking his works for myself.

When I pass the Taixue Internal Entrance Examination this year, I will not take Lin Chongtan's things again. I will definitely be able to satisfy my father by myself.

A few days later, I received another, more surprising news.

The prince's entourage personally came to my dormitory and said that the prince wanted to hold a private banquet at the end of the month, and asked me if I had time to attend the banquet.

The entourage is Eunuch Shu who is next to the prince. That day I was stuffed into the box by the prince's people, and he was the one who pointed out.Compared to his supercilious look last time, this time he can be described as a bodhisattva with low eyebrows.

"Mr. Lin, Your Highness has heard about your poems and wants to see you very much." Eunuch Shu said to me with a light smile.

The crown prince actually invited me to a banquet. I was shocked by the news, and I was speechless for a long time, until Eunuch Shu called me several times before I nodded in a daze, "I, I know, I..."

"It seems that Mr. Lin has agreed, and I welcome Mr. Lin at that time." Eunuch Shu handed me an invitation card with the time and place of the private banquet.

The private banquet was held in Rong Mansion, the crown prince's mother's home, not a place like Zui Knee Tower, it seems that this banquet is not trivial.If my father knew that I was invited by the prince to Rongfu, he would definitely praise me again.

My heart began to flutter, and I completely forgot that the prince invited me because I read my poems, and the real author of those poems was Lin Chongtan.

In order to keep the appointment, I asked for leave and went out to make new clothes. I visited almost all the garment workshops in the capital before finally choosing the one I wanted.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely make the clothes within seven days and send them to the house." The owner of the garment workshop said.

I lightly touched the selected fabric with my fingertips. This is a floating pearl brocade woven with shark silk from the south of the Yangtze River. Because I just arrived and the fabric is expensive, few people in the capital wear this.

"Then trouble the boss." I withdrew my hand and smiled at the boss of the garment workshop.

After returning from the outside, I turned around and went to Lin Chongtan's place.He has been busy compiling music scores recently, often holding a pen in one hand and playing the piano with the other.It's the same tonight, I waited for a while before bringing the tea in my hand.

"Let's have a rest." I put the teacup by his hand.

Lin Chongtan hummed and put down the pen.While he was drinking tea, I mentioned the Prince's private banquet.Lin Chongtan paused for a while holding the teacup, and after a breath, he put down the teacup, "Are you going?"

"The prince's invitation, of course I can't refuse." I looked at him and said softly, "Tan Sheng, you should go too, right?"

Lin Chongtan's long eyelashes drooped, and he suddenly picked up the brush again, "Go, have you prepared your present?"

I feel bad, I went out to look at the clothes today, and completely forgot about the gift.

"You go to Bai Chi and let him take you to pick it." Lin Chongtan has already seen my negligence.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that, Lin Chongtan's small warehouse has a lot of good things, and anyone who picks up any of them can be seen by people. Although I have money, the things I buy may not be on the table.

But I was still a little uneasy, "Is there anything the prince hates? I'm afraid he won't like what I gave you."

"Don't worry, although you want to give gifts, the prince will not look at the gifts. All the gifts for the prince will be registered and sent directly to the warehouse of the East Palace. This time, we are holding a private banquet in Rongfu. The gifts will not even enter the warehouse of the East Palace. It's at Rong's house. It's your first time attending a banquet, and you should pay attention to the word of the mean when giving gifts, don't make eye contact, and don't send too many people." Lin Chongtan said in a flat tone.

I nodded understandingly, watching Lin Chongtan start to compose the music score again, not daring to disturb him anymore, picked up the teacup he had drunk, and went out to look for Bai Chi.

Bai Chi handled the affairs properly, accompanied me to pick out gifts, and even found me an excellent brocade box to pack the presents.After choosing the presents, I had nothing to do, so I sat on the porch by the beauty, looking at the almond tree outside.

There is an apricot tree in front of my window, and Lin Chongtan has it here too.Before the apricot blossoms bloom, there are still green buds on the branches.

Deeper and heavier, I fell asleep on the beauty's back without knowing it.When Lin Chongtan picked me up by the waist, I struggled out of sleepiness to regain my mind.

"Are you finished?" I rubbed my eyes, because I was too sleepy, I didn't realize that Lin Chongtan picked me up outside, and I didn't wake up until he took off his coat and put me on the bed.

Before I asked Lin Chongtan why he carried me in, I saw Bai Chi come in with a face of fear carrying hot water.Bai Chi put the hot water in front of me, and called young master in a low voice.

Lin Chongtan frowned, "Go out."

"Yes." Bai Chi immediately left the room.

I saw that Lin Chongtan was suddenly so aggressive towards Bai Chi, and he didn't dare to talk to him for a while.

Lin Chongtan squatted down in front of me and took off my shoes and socks.I realized that he was going to help me wash my feet, and immediately wanted to pull my feet out of his palm, "I can wash myself."

He looked up at me, I met his gaze, and slowly put my foot back.

How strange, why is Lin Chongtan so fierce tonight?

He held my feet again and squeezed them twice before putting my feet in the water.After soaking in hot water, the cold air I blew out earlier dissipated a lot.I started to feel drowsy again, twisting my waist and pulling the pillow back to sleep.

I had a dream. In the dream, I returned to the Lin family in Gusu.My father, my mother, my eldest brother and the grown-up twins were waiting for me at the gate of the magnificent mansion.When they saw me, they all came to welcome me. The twins hugged my arms from left to right, and called me third brother coquettishly.

The eldest brother patted me on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Chundi has grown up."

My mother wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief made of white lily branches, and said to me, "Come into the house quickly, my mother has cooked longevity noodles for you."

Longevity noodles?So today is my birthday?

Although my father didn't speak, he looked at me faintly with praise.I have never enjoyed such treatment before, I looked at the carriage at a loss, "Tan Sheng, why haven't you come down yet?"

It was very quiet in the carriage, no one answered me.

The bronze wind chimes hanging on the carriage shook slightly, "jingling bells".

I woke up from the dream and found myself sleeping in Lin Chongtan's arms, only then did I realize that I was dreaming.I recalled the scene in my dream, thinking that it is time to go home and have a look, maybe I can go back for my birthday this year, but I don’t know if my father will agree.

Will Lin Chongtan go back?

After thinking wildly, I closed my eyes again in Lin Chongtan's arms.
