Lin Jue of the Red Chamber

Waking up in the morning, Lin Jue opened his arms to face the rising sun and breathed a sigh of relief, with an intoxicating smile on his face.

This rare scene made everyone in the yard stunned. They stared blankly at Lin Jue. My grandfather has grown up like this now. After two years, all the girls in Beijing will go crazy.

Even the chess watcher who stayed by Lin Jue's side all the time was a little bit tongue-tied, and said to himself: "Is it just that the last school master is so happy?"

"Because I had a good dream yesterday." Lin Jue replied in a good mood.

"What dream? What dream? Did I dream that I got married, or did I dream that I was going to be the champion?" Guanqi kept asking.

Lin Jue was a little amused, and didn't respond to his words, but instead urged: "Hurry up and pack up your things, and you must not leave behind your household registration and recommendation documents."

Guanqi couldn't get an answer to his questions, he was a little unhappy, and he muttered to pack his things.

Lin Jue stood quietly, couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and touched his lips: "Actually, it's not wrong to say that I dreamed of getting married!"

After having breakfast with Daiyu, Lin Jue got into the carriage. He had watched chess sullenly all morning because Lin Jue didn't tell him what dream he had, but when he saw that Lin Jue didn't intend to let him into the carriage, he became anxious. .

Aggrieved, he pulled the curtain in the carriage to prevent Lin Jue from closing it: "Master."

"Has it changed in the future?"

"Changed, changed!" Guanqi's eyes lit up, and he promised again and again.

"Then it's not coming up, can't I wait for the master to invite you?" Lin Jue carefully checked the documents and household registration to be used, and said.

"Hey." Guanqi responded simply, and jumped into the carriage.The smile on his face made the few people outside bite his heart. Isn't it just that he has been with the master for a long time?Isn't it that the master only allows him to serve and wash?Just let him in the car?What are you proud of?

Lin Jue looked at his mighty group of people, frowned slightly, and simply ordered: "Wu Yi and Wu Er just follow along, Wu San and Wu Si stay in the mansion. In addition, today there are chess watching, Cheng Cheng Ninth, just follow Lin Xiang." The Wu family members were given by Lin Ruhai before Lin Jue went to Beijing.

Seeing that the lineup had been reduced by half, Lin Jue nodded, indicating that Chengjiu could move forward.

When I arrived at the Imperial College, maybe because someone left a message, I went in very easily. When I entered the door, watching chess, I was very proud to pat the shoulders of several guards one by one. They all looked like a villain.

Someone led the way, passed through the long pavilion, and crossed a pond, and saw a row of one-story houses hidden in the dense woods. Because it was winter, the trees were all withered, and a few leaves fell here and there.

The guard stopped in his tracks: "Master Kong belongs to that side, you can go there by yourself."

Lin Jue raised his eyebrows in surprise. This row of houses is very ordinary, with blue bricks and white tiles, similar to the houses of wealthy gentry in the country. It does not meet the status of a third-rank official. It was beyond Lin Jue's expectation.

Saying goodbye to the guards politely, Lin Jue walked towards the row of houses. The yard looks ordinary from the outside, but inside it is quite exquisite, with a small pool, eaves with wind chimes, stone bonsai under the eaves and The pots of chrysanthemums blooming in the garden are almost the same as the decaying scene outside.

A boy with an ancient Han Dynasty hairstyle respectfully blocked the three watching chess from the outside, and showed Lin Jue the way.

Walking into the room on the far right, I felt a burst of hot air blowing towards my face, and then Master Kong's voice: "Cover the curtain, and keep the wind out."

Lin Jue responded, and only then did he see the scene in the room clearly. Mr. Kong, who is known as the "scholar of the prosperous age", was not reading a book, but was cooking something very seriously. Lin Jue sniffled, There was a distinct smell of wine.

Lin Jue bowed deeply: "The student has met the adults!"

"Well, here we come." Master Kong replied casually without looking up, "It's not bad, at least I'm a bit of a student, and I'm not late."

Lin Jue touched his nose in embarrassment and coughed dryly. He really didn't think that he was just a few days late in signing up, and he almost left the impression of not being punctual with Mr. Kong.

In fact, this is not Lin Jue's fault. In the Daqin Dynasty, there were two times for enrolling in school, one in spring and one in winter. Touched Master Kong's inverse scale.That's right, for a Guozijian offering wine, what is more important than reading?

Since then, the space has fallen into a long silence.

When the smell of wine filled the room, Master Kong smiled a little, and greeted Lin Jue: "Come here, this is the fragrance of pear blossoms that has been hidden for ten years, and it happens to be opened today, so I'll give you a taste too. "

Lin Jue was very surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Then I will be in the honor of the adults."

Lin Jue carefully sat on only half of his body, took the wine glass handed over by Master Kong, first slightly touched his lips, looked at Master Kong's playful eyes, raised his head and drank it all.

Lin Jue can drink, but there are two prerequisites, one is not to drink strong alcohol, and the other is not to drink strong alcohol, but the fragrance of pear blossoms takes up both of these. Before putting down the cup, Lin Jue let out a burst of intense Cough.

"Heh, if you can't drink a word, I will force you to do it?" Looking at the tearful Lin Jue, Master Kong sneered instead of comforting him.However, even though the tone was vicious, he still handed over a plate of pastries: "Just press it."

Lin Jue took the pastry, and before she could say thank you, she picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. After eating three pieces of pastry, she felt that her mouth was no longer burning.

Master Kong ignored it and asked directly: "I called you here today mainly to ask you. The students of the Guozijian are divided into four categories: those who are recruited into the prison are called Gongjian; Prisoners are called Jujian, and those who donate money to prison are called Lijian. These four types have different colleges. Now you have both the fame of Juren and the status of a bureaucrat's son, which college do you want to enter?"

Before Lin Jue came to Beijing, he discussed this matter with Lin Ruhai. According to Lin Ruhai's point of view: At this moment, it is better to be a good student honestly. At the same time, I am afraid that they will be involved in those matters of seizing the heirloom.

You know, although the Lin family has taken refuge with the fourth prince, only a handful of people know about it. As long as Lin Jue behaves obediently, the princes will not have enough time to win over Lin Ruhai because of his status as a salt official. How could they suppress him?

But at this time, seeing Master Kong's playful expression, Lin Jue was a little uncertain about the meaning of this weird Master Kong, so he replied cautiously: "Students naturally listen to adults."

Master Kong used iron tongs to pick out a piece of dark, fragrant sweet potato from the fire, and casually peeled the skin of the sweet potato: "Listen to me? Let's do it, go back and prepare things today, and come to class tomorrow." .”

Lin Jue should be, but he couldn't help but feel angry, so he made up his mind?Can I stay like this for two years as a shadow prisoner?

But seeing that Mr. Kong didn't mean to explain, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction, got up to leave, and decided to write back to ask his father if he had a grudge against Mr. Kong.

Master Kong waved his hand, blew on the steaming sweet potatoes, and signaled to Lin Jue that he could leave. When Lin Jue was about to walk out, he heard Master Kong talking to himself: "Love is not long, strong will be humiliated, a humble gentleman , as gentle as jade. Sometimes it looks like it's done properly, but it's already out of place."

Lin Jue seemed to have grasped something, but she smelled of alcohol and her thinking was dull, so she couldn't figure it out.

After walking out of the yard, Guanqi greeted him. Looking at Lin Jue's flushed face and crystal clear ears, he sniffled in surprise, "Did you drink alcohol?"

Lin Jue nodded, feeling the smell of alcohol rising, leaning most of his body weight on Guanqi, looking back at the small yard, and remembering the exquisite decorations in the yard and the strong rural atmosphere in the house, he couldn't help but He muttered, "What a weirdo!"

Guanqi couldn't hear clearly, so he stopped in his tracks: "What? Is it cold, or tired?"

Lin Jue insisted on using the last bit of sobriety to reprimand: "Just go home soon."

When Lin Jue woke up, his brain was throbbing with pain. Lin Jue thumped his head: "Where are you? Where are you all dead?"

Guanqi came in with a bowl of hangover soup, first put the hangover soup on the table, waited for Lin Jue to wash up, and then handed over the hangover soup: "Miss heard that the master is drunk, let people get ready early in the morning. The wine soup is warming on the stove. When the master woke up, he brought over the hangover soup."

Lin Jue took the hangover soup and smelled the cloyingly sweet taste: "It's okay if it works, but if it doesn't work, I won't drink it again."

He drank it all in one gulp, and rinsed his mouth with water under Guanqi's service, feeling that the sweet taste was gone, and felt much more comfortable in his body, and said with emotion: "Guanqi, you serve the master so well, if you What can I do without you?"

Guanqi couldn't help laughing: "I am the master, I am the slave. As long as the master still uses the slave for a day, the slave will not stop."

Lin Jue shook her head and got up: "Go, follow me to see the girl, so that she can rest assured."

Lin Xiang, who came in with Lin Jue's changed clothes, said seriously: "Master, it's better to go there later, Miss Xue is here, and she is talking to the girl."

Lin Jue was silent for a while: "I just arrived in the capital yesterday, and you came to find a girl today?"

While folding Lin Jue's clothes, Lin Xiang replied: "Sure, I live in a mansion, and today I'm here to give away the earthen ceremony. It looks like we have a very happy conversation with the girl."

Lin Jue stopped: "Watch the chess, take out those letters from yesterday, and follow me to the study."

Lin Jue, who left Lin Xiang in the bedroom by himself, didn't know. After Lin Jue left, the calm Lin Xiang slapped a glass: What do you mean "what will I do if I don't have you"?

Lin Jue, who was replying to Lin Ruhai and those Gusu friends in the study, didn't know Lin Xiang's torment.

At the end of Shenshi (five o'clock in the afternoon), Lin Jue realized that the lights in the study room had been lit. With a wry smile, he handed the letter in his hand to Guanqi: "Send these letters back tomorrow."

Guanqi nodded: "Master, did you forget the letter from Shizi?"

"No, his letter is not worth answering for the time being!" Lin Jue stretched, feeling the sound of "cracking" coming from his waist, and replied.

Guanqi opened his mouth and wanted to ask why, but after thinking about what happened in the morning, he fell silent again, sullenly stuffing this question into his heart.
