The capital of Zhongnan Kingdom is called Luojing.
Luojing is located in the Zhongnan Mountains, on a vast plain at the foot of Taibai Mountain.
This is also the most fertile and prosperous place in Zhongnan Kingdom.
The ancient pavilions and smoky willow houses are scattered over hundreds of miles.
Although Luojing is the capital of a country, except for the inner city where the royal family lives, there is not even an inch of outer city wall, because the entire Zhongnan Mountains are the best barrier.
In the early morning, the light rain was sparse and pattering.
During the plum rainy season, it is rainy in Zhongnan Mountain.
But at this moment, outside Luojing City, at the ten-mile long pavilion, there were two groups of people holding umbrellas.
The long pavilion here is a place that travelers from the south must pass when coming to Luojing. Therefore, at this time in the past, there should have been many people picking up relatives and waiting for friends and breaking willows to say goodbye.
But at this time, most ordinary Chinese people stayed away and just stood at a distance waiting.
However, there was no one inside the pavilion that was supposed to be sheltered from the rain. Only two groups of people with a clear path outside the pavilion stood silently in the rain.
The group on the left, headed by a graceful young Taoist nun, wears a lotus crown and a purple robe. Someone behind her is holding an umbrella for her. She is looking boredly at the misty and rainy ancient road in front of her, playing with a
Little Yu Ruyi would turn her head from time to time to look at a man in another group of people next to her with a smile on her face.
The people behind her were all Taoist priests in blue wearing Taoist scarves and holding whisks.
The group of people on the right was headed by a tall young man with a good appearance and a good expression. He wore a light fur coat and wore a pair of shoes. He was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and looking calmly ahead.
Behind him are servants, some holding harps, some holding flutes, some carrying wine, and some carrying boxes.
"Censor Lin, why are you so leisurely and elegant today that you bring your servants to this ten-mile long pavilion to recite poems and write poems?" the jade-playing girl said with a smile.
The young man known as Lin Yushi turned a deaf ear.
"Huh? Lin Yushi must be waiting for someone, too. You came here so early. Who are you waiting for?" The woman looked at the man's face that she was very familiar with, and smiled.
The young man still didn't speak, ignored the Taoist nun beside him, and patiently waited for the visitor from afar he invited.
"If Lin Yushi can wait in person, he must not be a simple person. Well, let Pindao guess..." The woman bit her lip and thought about it for a while, then suddenly she looked astonished.
"Is it Han Tuizhi who composed a poem called Luo Hua Pin at the age of seventeen? Well, your classmate from Siqi Academy is indeed amazing."
The words just fell.
The young man who had been ignoring her turned his head for the first time and stared at her.
The two looked directly at each other.
The woman's eyes are gentle.
The man's eyes were indifferent.
"Is Pindao's guess correct? Is it Han Tuizhi?" Seeing the young man finally looking at her, the woman smiled even brighter and said in a regretful tone: "Hey, he might not be able to come."
"You are a person who is valued by the mountain chief, but you are so brave?" The young man spoke for the first time, his voice was gentle, but at this moment, ice condensed, and he spoke word by word.
The woman said aggrievedly: "His mother is seriously ill, what does it have to do with us at Chongxu Guan? He happened to receive a letter from home on the way and had to turn around and return home, so he sent a letter to you, and it happened to be sent to us at Chongxu Guan.
Guan, um, I guess he found out that we are familiar with each other, and Pindao just happened to look at us when he had nothing to do, so he knew this."
After the woman finished speaking, she raised her hand behind her shoulder and casually took a letter from the person behind her.
"Really, I'm not lying to you. I forgot about this before. If I hadn't happened to meet you here waiting for the savior today, I would have only remembered it after a year and a month. Hey, look at Pindao's memory. I hope I didn't delay it.
Lin Yushi's important matter." The woman gently twirled the letter of apology with the words "Brother Wen Ruo at the beginning" with her fingers, her tone sincere.
"Well, Yushi Lin, do you still want it?"
Lin Wenruo was silent for a while, squinted her eyes, and turned to look at the Taoist nun and the group of Taoist priests behind her with playful eyes. "Well, Wenruo, I really need to thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Lin Yushi has been worrying about national affairs all day long. It's a great honor for Pindao to do something trivial for Lin Yushi. However, if Lin Yushi wants to thank you, will it satisfy Pindao?
A small request?"
The woman spoke softly, but what she said next was like a poisonous scorpion.
"Can you choose a larger cemetery for the Lin family of Lanxi? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to fill it for you."
A gorgeous carriage drove on the wide Meridian Road.
The attendants accompanying the car had relaxed expressions, because this trip to accompany the Second Young Master to relax had lasted more than half a year and was finally over.
The driver was an old servant. Although his face was old, he was in good spirits.
This was the same motorcade that passed by Zhao Rong and his party last time. If Zhao Rong had taken a few more looks, he would have recognized these people.
The old servant who was driving was not as relaxed as the attendants around him, but was rather worried because he had glimpsed a familiar figure while driving before. Although he had only seen it once, the impression was too deep...
He is a dead warrior trained by the Lanxi Lin clan of the Zhongnan Kingdom. He is cultivated in the Haoran realm and is extremely loyal to the Lanxi Lin clan. On this trip, he is the second son who was sent to personally protect the family.
Although the second young master has a perverse personality due to some special reasons and behaves arrogantly and domineeringly outside the family, at least he is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart. He knows how to size up the situation, read what people are doing, and knows who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.
Therefore, after this trip, although there were a lot of troubles and people were not allowed to calm down, the scale was mostly within the range that a Haoran realm monk and a direct descendant of the Lanxi Lin family could settle.
The only accident was when the dynasty called Dachu in the south of Wangquezhou met an ordinary scholar with no cultivation in the store of Qingfengju.
I thought that like most of the scholars at the foot of the mountain, he was just pulling the banner of Zhang Linlu Academy.
And the second young master likes to bully such poor scholars. In fact, when he thinks of this, the old servant feels a little ashamed, because the Lin family of Lanxi is originally a scholarly family, rich in great Confucian scholars and celebrities.
And he was invited by a certain Zhongnan Kingdom ruler to rule the country, and then he took root here and inherited it for hundreds of years. This generation even produced the eldest son, who is expected to surpass his ancestors and bring the Lanxi Lin family to a new height of academic study.
However, the second son of the family especially likes to bully outsiders and trample ordinary scholars. But he never expected that he would hit an iron plate that time.
A very hard one.
That seemingly ordinary scholar was so extraordinary that he actually composed two excellent poems in a blink of an eye, including a poem called "Luo Hua Pin"!
You must know that even the eldest son of his family, who is proud of the entire Zhongnan Kingdom, has only produced five top-notch poems in Siqi Academy over the years, none of which are top-notch poems.
Although the art of poetry is only one of the many aspects that Confucian scholars pay attention to, it is not enough to explain everything. For example, the eldest son of his family is very good at memorizing scriptures and debating.
However, for a reader who is so good at poetry, he probably won't be bad at other skills either.
Presumably, he must not be a simple person at Linlu Academy, and if the Lin family of Lanxi turns against such a scholar because of the impulsiveness of the second young master, it would be unworthy.
You must know that the grievances of the people on the mountain cannot be settled simply. The entanglement of cause and effect is extremely complicated. Sometimes the threads of grass and snakes run deep, and the whole family of the immortal family on the mountain was wiped out because of an inconspicuous grievance.
Not too surprising.
Therefore, it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. The less cause and effect, the better.
So he tried his best to persuade the second young master to apologize, and the second young master also complied with a dejected face. However, the scholar didn't express much at that time. Instead, he left a confusing sentence and turned around and left.
Now I saw the scholar again in Zhongnan Kingdom. I wonder if it was a coincidence.
Thinking of this, the old servant sighed and turned around to look at the door curtain behind him worriedly.
Inside the carriage.
Lin Qingxuan's face was gloomy.
He was in a good mood before, so he casually opened the curtains and took a look outside. However, his mood immediately became bad again and hit rock bottom.
Why did you chase me to Zhongnan Kingdom?!
However, after calming down and thinking about it, I felt that it was probably just a coincidence, because I didn't actually report my name as Lanxi Lin at the beginning, and the other party probably didn't know my origin.
Lin Qingxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the familiar scenery of Zhongnan Mountain outside the car window and frowned.
He originally planned to come back before his brother's wedding, but because he deliberately missed the scholar's ferry, and because the Sikou Mansion blocked the ferry channel of Shishui Country, he arrived much later than originally planned, and had already missed his brother's wedding.
wedding.
Thinking of the brother he had always looked up to, his eyes darkened.
But when he thought of his sister-in-law, who had now entered the profession, he felt warm in his heart.
My sister-in-law has always regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Lin family in Lanxi even before she came to the door. She is familiar with the Lin family rules, respects her parents-in-law, and is very good to herself. She is equivalent to half of her sister. Her parents also treat her as their daughter. She
He has been living in our Lin family since the engagement, waiting for his brother to get married after he returns from college.
Lin Wenruo, my sister-in-law is such a good woman, but she is completely devoted to you. You must never let her down!
Well, my sister-in-law likes Ruyi jade, so this time I bought a white field jade Ruyi made of blue and white seeds and gave it to her as a wedding gift.
Although as the daughter of a national master, she must have seen many treasures, but this Jade Ruyi will definitely make her eyes shine.
