After taking a nap in the Glazed Pavilion, Lin Sishen was woken up by Mo Zhu, who told her that the eldest son was waiting for her outside the gate of the Glazed Pavilion.Lin Sitao had agreed with her before that he would go with her to pay homage to Lin Silue's tomb in the western suburbs later.

Lin Sishen changed into a plain white robe, not daring to be slighted, walked out of the gate of Liuguang Pavilion quickly, and met Lin Sitao who was carrying two jars of wine.

After whispering for a while, the two left the General's Mansion side by side.

The gate of the mansion was empty and there was no carriage waiting, Lin Sishen raised his eyes and took a look, then asked casually, "Brother, you don't have a carriage?"

"The western suburbs are not far away, you can walk there."

Lin Sitao nodded, then looked at Lin Sishen and added: "However, if Shen'er doesn't want to walk, elder brother will ask someone to drive the groom over."

Lin Sishen smiled happily, waved his hands and said: "No need, brother, let's walk, it happens to loosen the muscles and bones."

The two were talking, when a figure suddenly appeared from behind a majestic stone lion taller than one person on the left side of the mansion gate, rushed to Lin Sishen and Lin Sitao in two or three steps, and stood at the foot of the stone steps looking up. them.

Lin Sishen was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look steadily.

The person who came was a handsome girl in cloth clothes and wooden hairpins, she was about the same age as Lin Sishen, her small and delicate face was inlaid with a pair of obsidian-like nimble and beautiful eyes, she looked pretty and aura.

The girl just glanced at Lin Sishen curiously, then set her eyes on Lin Sitao, with a trace of dissatisfaction and arrogance in her mouth, she said angrily, "Brother, you gave me two taels too much."

When he saw the girl, Lin Sitao was also taken aback, and when the girl opened his mouth, he glanced at Lin Sishen who was a little embarrassed, and then said softly to the girl: "If you give more, it's just a reward. Waited for me before."

Lin Sishen knew the entanglement between the girl and the eldest brother when she heard the words, she smiled knowingly, stood aside without saying a word, as if watching a good show, her eyes flicked back and forth between the two.

The girl looked gentle and pleasant, but her temper was very aggressive. Although Lin Sitao's tone and attitude had always been gentle, she gave Lin Sitao an annoyed look, as if Lin Sitao was humiliating her by giving her an extra two taels of silver.

She snorted coldly at first, then curled her lips and said in dissatisfaction: "This girl is not a hostess in a brothel restaurant, so I don't need you to give me a reward. If it's 28 taels, it's 28 taels. Even if you give me an extra penny, I don't want this girl."

After she finished speaking, she stepped onto the stone steps, and involuntarily stuffed the broken silver she had been clutching in her hand into Lin Sitao's hand, and frowned and chattered endlessly: "If it wasn't for the dog guards in front of your mansion who looked down on people, wouldn't Ken Tong reported that my lady was afraid of handing over the money to them, and they would turn around and buy wine, so my lady was too lazy to wait in front of the door and delay time."

Lin Sitao looked down at the broken silver in his hand with some embarrassment, for a moment he didn't know what expression to make, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's only two taels of silver, why should the girl..."

"It's just two taels?"

The girl wanted to pay back the money and turn around and leave, but when she heard what Lin Sitao said, she suddenly turned her head and stared at Lin Sitao, and said sarcastically, "Only you young masters can say such things. Can buy a hot steamed bun. How many steamed buns can two taels of silver buy and how many people’s stomachs can be filled?”

Lin Sitao was speechless by this hot-tempered girl. He had never dealt with women very often, and when facing a girl who seemed soft and weak, he couldn't help but panic and panic, looking like he had no confidence.

After a long while, he lowered his head and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "I... I am ashamed."

This girl didn't dislike Lin Sitao that much at first, but since Lin Sitao accidentally smashed her ancestral stone mill last night, she hasn't looked at Lin Sitao directly, and has been holding back her breath.

But seeing Lin Sitao's humble attitude, she couldn't say anything more, anyway, she got all the money she should pay, so she didn't bother to argue with Lin Sitao, she waved her hand nonchalantly: "Forget it, you don't eat fireworks." My son, how can I understand the sufferings of the world, I am too lazy to talk to you."

Lin Sitao felt that he was really stupid, he sneaked a glance at the girl, his slender neck was instantly red, he turned his head to look at Lin Sishen as if asking for help, hinting that Lin Sishen would come forward to rescue him.

Lin Sishen held back his laughter, and when he received Lin Sitao's begging eyes, he cleared his throat, patted Lin Sitao's shoulder as if nothing had happened, and said, "Brother, since this girl doesn't want the two taels of silver, then forget it. Let's Before going to the western suburbs, why not buy two taels of hot steamed buns and give them to poor families who can't afford to eat."

Lin Sitao's eyes lit up, and he hastily echoed, "Shen'er is right."

The girl listened to the conversation between the two, and seeing that they were planning to do good deeds, her complexion softened a little. She glanced at Lin Sishen and Lin Sitao, then looked at the two jars of wine in Lin Sitao's hand, and asked: " The western suburbs? Are you two going to the western suburbs to worship?"

"Exactly."

"The girl is really smart."

Lin Sitao and Lin Sishen both spoke at the same time when they heard the words, but after the words fell, Lin Sitao was suddenly a little stunned. He glanced at Lin Sishen who had a gentle smile on his face, then coughed lightly in embarrassment, and lowered his head.

Inexplicably, he felt a little lost in his heart, compared to him, Shen'er was more able to say things to make girls happy, how could he be as stupid as him.

Yile heard the words and looked at the two sons of the general's mansion in front of him. Both of them were first-class handsome and heroic, but their styles were completely different. It seems a little silly.

Lin Sitao got along with her before, although she had a broken arm and seemed a little silly, but from the beginning to the end, she never put on airs of being superior to others, and even if she broke something, she was compensated according to the price. He will not shirk responsibility, so he is considered a good person.

And his beautiful younger brother, who looks as handsome as a fairy, with a gentle and polite demeanor, should be a good person.

Yi Le's face softened, and her tone became more gentle. She raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "When you go to worship, you only bring two jars of wine? Aren't you going to buy some joss sticks and ingots?"

Lin Sitao hesitated and shook his head: "This...actually, it doesn't have to be."

The second brother's memorial tablet has been placed in the ancestral hall, offering incense every day, today he just wants to take his second brother's favorite drink, Du Zui, and go with Shen Er to have a few drinks with his second brother.

Yi Le waved his hands when he heard the words, and said with a big face: "I still have some unsold incense candles and ingots in my house. Anyway, they are still dusty. Seeing that you are planning to do good deeds, I will give them to you."

"How can this..."

Lin Sitao was about to refuse, but Lin Sishen at the side stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes. After he was silent, he took a step forward and said softly, "This is the best, my brothers are more respectful than obedient, thank you Miss Yi is so generous."

It was nothing more than sending some incense candles and ingots that were not worth much. The son of the general’s mansion saluted solemnly and thanked him. Yi Le suddenly felt a little shy, and she lowered her eyes and whispered awkwardly: "It’s just a small matter, it’s not generous, you don’t need to be too polite. .”

Lin Sitao looked at the two of them from the side, Shen'er was humble and polite, Yi Le lowered his eyes shyly, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, he turned his head dejectedly, and simply didn't look at the two of them.

In the end, it was Shen'er who was more pleasing to women, after only a few words, Miss Yi was so gentle and shy towards Shen'er.

After finalizing this matter, Lin Sishen and Lin Sitao followed Yi Le to her home to fetch incense and ingots.

Along the way, Lin Sishen had a casual conversation with Yi Le, and he knew her personality and family well.She felt that although the Yi girl had a bit of a temper, she was kind and transparent, and she could really match up with her elder brother.

Lin Sishen couldn't help being a little happy when he thought that his elder brother was going to have the old tree bloom, and he talked a lot more. He couldn't help chatting with Yi Le on the road, but most of the words were about Lin Sitao.

Lin Sitao remained silent all the time, even if Lin Sishen deliberately started the conversation so that he could have a few more words with Miss Yile, he also seemed to be lacking in interest.

Apparently he misunderstood Lin Sishen's meaning, thinking that Lin Sishen just saw that Miss Yi was pretty and smart, and he had an outrageous idea.Although I felt extremely uncomfortable, but I didn't know how to stop it, so I could only feel depressed.

After leaving Yile's house, the three of them still walked together. Lin Sishen and Lin Sishen bought a lot of steamed buns and rice porridge as promised, and gave them to Yile. Then she gave alms to the poor families nearby, and then they parted from her.

On the way to the Lin family cemetery in the western suburbs, Lin Sishen, who didn't know why, turned his head to look at the gloomy Lin Sitao, blinked his eyes with some doubts and asked, "Brother, why...you seem a little unhappy?"

"Shen'er."

Lin Sitao suddenly stopped in his tracks. He frowned and looked at Lin Sishen. Although he hesitated, he said in a deep voice: "You have married and married, and you and the princess have always respected each other like a guest. You...you can't do that. I'm sorry about the princess."

Lin Sishen looked bewildered: "When did I ever do something wrong to the princess?"

Lin Sitao shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, and then warned: "In short, the eldest brother will not tell the princess about this matter, and you should also reflect on yourself, and don't play tricks again."

Lin Sishen seemed to understand a little bit, she looked at Lin Sitao's tangled and indignant expression, and chuckled softly: "Brother, did you misunderstand something?"

Lin Sitao looked at her with a complicated expression and said nothing, Lin Sishen suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Brother, I'm not interested in that girl Yi, I just regard her as my future sister-in-law..."

Lin Sitao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then blushed, and interrupted Lin Sishen's words a little from embarrassment: "What future sister-in-law, Shen'er, don't talk nonsense and spoil Qingyu."

Lin Sishen could see what Lin Sitao was thinking, otherwise she wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to Yi Le. She suppressed a smile and asked, "Could it be that elder brother has no intentions of that girl Yi Le?"

Lin Sitao, who was in his late thirties, blushed like a young boy who had just begun to fall in love. He retorted in embarrassment: "I just met her, why did you come here... You are clearly teasing Big Brother."

Lin Sishen was originally laughing and teasing Lin Sitao, but suddenly the smile on her face faded a lot. She stood opposite Lin Sitao, and out of the corner of her eye, she quickly glanced at a towering tree not far away.

She glanced casually, Lin Sishen looked away, and said softly to Lin Sitao, "Brother, it's getting late, let's go first."

Lin Sitao noticed Lin Sishen's strangeness almost instantly, he immediately calmed down, a light flashed in his eyes, he nodded without looking back, "Okay, then let's go."

The two walked side by side, without saying a word in tacit understanding, all the way into the cemetery.

The Lin family cemetery in the western suburbs was newly built after General Lin made his fortune. All the ancestors of the Lin family and descendants of the Lin family are buried in it. Lin Sitao's tomb is naturally also here.

Fearing that some youngsters would come to the cemetery to steal valuable burial gold and jade, the cemeteries of high-ranking officials and nobles are usually guarded, and the Lin family's cemetery is no exception.

There is a thatched hut outside the cemetery, and there is an old guard living in it. He was originally a veteran of General Lin.

After greeting the old man, Lin Sishen and Lin Sitao entered the cemetery and found Lin Silue's clothes in front of the tomb.

Lin Sishen purposely asked the old man to step down, leaving her and her eldest brother in front of the tomb.

The old man took great care of the Lin family's cemetery, not even a single weed. Lin Sishen and Lin Sitao sat on the ground in front of Lin Silue's tomb, burning incense candles and ingots without saying a word.

After a while, Lin Sitao finally couldn't help opening his mouth, he turned his head slightly, glanced behind a tree in the distance from the corner of his eye, and then asked in a deep voice: "Shen'er, who is that person? "

Lin Sishen lowered his eyes and curled his lips into a smile, and said in a low voice, "I think it should be him."

Lin Sitao was a little puzzled: "He? So you really know who that person is."

"Brother." Lin Sishen's eyes were shining brightly under the firelight, and she asked word by word: "The bones of the second brother were not found back then, did you ever have the idea that the second brother is not dead?"

Lin Sitao was stunned when he heard the words, he lowered his eyes sadly, and said with a wry smile: "Of course I thought about it, but back then I saw my second younger brother was pierced through the chest by a soldier's sword and fell into the Taotao river under the cliff. Go in. The long sword pierces through the abyss, even the god of Daluo may be close to death."

Lin Sishen shook his head slowly, and then said eagerly: "But have you ever thought about it, maybe there is no unparalleled road, maybe the second brother's life should not be extinguished!"

Lin Sitao closed his eyes, sighed in pain, and said in a difficult tone: "Shen'er, this is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible."

Back then when Lin Sishen found out that Lin Sulue hadn't died, she thought about telling her family about it, but she knew that her father was impulsive and reckless, and the second brother was under the control of the second prince. Into the trap of the second prince.

If something happens to the second brother, the pain of gaining and losing again, the elderly grandmother can bear it like this.The father, mother, and eldest brother who have been suffering and remorse for the death of the second brother may fall into endless grief for no reason.

Lin Sishen has always wanted to put an end to all future troubles and bring her second brother home safely. She will not allow the slightest mistake, and will not allow the family to suffer endless regret and pain again.

After meeting in the capital, the second brother seemed to be out of the control of the second prince. Lin Sishen also thought about whether to tell his family about this.But the second brother has lost his memory and has become a dead soldier in Laos, and he has been trying to harm his father and her, so the timing is not appropriate to inform him at this time.

Now, the second brother is shaken by his life experience, and has been wandering around the general's mansion for the past few days, he must have remembered something.

At this time, if I can make the eldest brother and the second brother want to see it, maybe it can also affect the second brother, remind him of those past events that he has forgotten, and it can also make the eldest brother escape from the nightmare of guilt.

Lin Sishen made up her mind, took a deep breath, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Lin Sitao's arm tightly. Under Lin Sitao's astonished gaze, she turned around slowly, her hot and bright eyes stared straight into the distance. At the place, the big tree that can accommodate people to hide.

Lin Sishen's lips trembled slightly, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and opened her mouth, but her voice was strangely dull and hoarse: "Come out."

Lin Sitao then looked back, he raised his hand to cover the back of Lin Sishen's hand, and subconsciously turned sideways to block Lin Sishen, looking vigilantly and sharply at the man in black robe who was slowly walking out from behind the tree.

Lu Xingquan wore a black robe as usual, covering his whole body tightly, and the silver mask on his face perfectly covered his face, only revealing a pair of dark and deep star eyes.

Lin Sitao saw Lu Xingquan's figure clearly, stood up abruptly, he took a step forward to block Lin Sishen, then narrowed his narrow eyes, smiled instead of anger: "It really is you!"

Lu Xingquan stood ten steps away from the two of them. He stared at Lin Sitao for a while, and then slowly asked, "Do you recognize me?"

Lu Xingquan's voice was as if he had just swallowed a handful of gravel and squeezed his throat to spit out the words, there was no trace of the clarity and pride of the past, how could Lin Sitao tell the difference.

Lin Sitao snorted coldly, and suddenly clenched his fist with the one arm hanging by his side, and the aura burst out of his body, so oppressive that people couldn't help but want to back away.He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You broke into the general's mansion last night, and today you have been following my two brothers. What is your identity and who are you sending?"

Lu Xingquan looked at Lin Sitao without saying a word, he seemed a little dazed, turned his head slightly and looked at himself, and made no other movements.

Lin Sitao looked around vigilantly, and continued to ask: "Why don't you speak, do you still want accomplices?"

Lin Sishen stood up from the tomb with a complicated expression. She walked out from behind Lin Sitao, raised her hand to hold Lin Sitao's arm, and comforted her in a low voice: "Brother, don't be impulsive, he is not hostile."

Lin Sitao's tense body, which was ready to go, relaxed a little under Lin Sishen's touch, but he still stared at Lu Xingquan worriedly, for fear that he would make a sudden move: "Shen'er, you recognize him. ...what do you want to do?"

"Brother, don't be impatient, let me tell him."

Lin Sishen patted the hand on Lin Sitao's arm lightly, then winked at him, signaling him not to act rashly, then she let go of Lin Sitao and walked towards Lu Xingquan step by step.

When Yue Mo walked between the two, Lu Xingquan suddenly spoke, with a hint of threat and vigilance: "Stop."

After the words fell, Lin Sitao behind him couldn't help calling anxiously and worriedly: "Shen'er."

"Brother, it's okay."

Lin Sishen stood a few steps away from Lu Xingquan. Although she looked calm, her heart was already turbulent. She first turned her head and smiled at Lin Sitao to comfort him, then turned her head to look at Lu Xingquan.

She spoke slowly, with a trembling voice: "You came earlier than I thought."

Lu Xingquan didn't make a move. Under Lin Sitao's sharp gaze, he looked at Lin Sishen complicatedly. With a little daze, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't mean anything if you come sooner or later."

Lin Sishen lowered his eyes and smiled, but there was no joy in that smile, but a bit of bitterness: "Didn't you come here just to find the answer?"

Lu Xingquan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he said hesitantly: "But I'm not sure, can you give me a definite, unquestionable answer."

Lin Sitao listened to the unclear conversation between the two with some surprise, but he didn't take any action, he just waited silently and was on guard.

"You can come, it already means that you have begun to believe."

Lin Sishen sighed in relief. She looked at Lu Xingquan's tightly covered mask with burning eyes, raised her finger, and said softly, "Take off the mask...Second Brother."
