Lin Xi straightened her clothes and walked outside the bamboo fence.
He was wearing a crimson shirt, which must have looked a little tacky to the golden spoons at Qingluan Academy, but it was sewn for him by his mother in Lulin Town.
The neckline and cuffs both have her embroidery of five bats and the longevity fruit.
This is an auspicious pattern considered auspicious by Lulin Town, which represents five blessings and longevity.
Because I thought he would like it, I also embroidered some lotus flowers on the back of my clothes.
The wheels were rolling, and the carriage driven by Jiang Xiaoyi was still far away from the bamboo fence, but the curtains of the carriage had been opened by the people inside.
"Brother!"
A cry of joy burst out from the carriage.
Oh, it sounds like the mountains and rivers are green.
Just like a small boat suddenly floating on the silent river, and a fishing ballad suddenly sounded, making the silent river suddenly full of color, this loud shout suddenly made everything in Lin Xi's eyes feel more vivid, and there was an indescribable feeling.
of brilliance.
Lin Xi started running towards the carriage.
The carriage stopped.
"ah!"
The girl with braids screamed and ran out of the carriage, rushed into his arms, and jumped with him in her arms, refusing to let go.
"Old sister..."
Lin Xi smiled and patted the screaming girl on the back. Suddenly her nose became sore and she bowed slightly: "Dad, Mom."
A short, fat middle-aged man and a good-looking woman stepped out of the carriage.
Because this meeting was so sudden, they didn't understand anything, and the change in their son's identity that they needed to take care of and worry about was too sudden, so when they looked at Lin Xi, they were both a little stunned for a moment.
Hearing Lin Xi's shouting and seeing that it was indeed the son she had longed for, the woman's eyes blurred for an instant, while the corners of the eyes of the short, fat middle-aged man with an ordinary face, who even looked a little shrewd like a philistine, twitched.
He cursed softly: "Little bastard, I'm telling you..."
"Don't talk nonsense, right?" Lin Xi simply hugged his little sister and walked towards the carriage, causing Lin Qian to scream happily again. He directly interrupted his father Lin Fu's words,
He chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter, we are all our own people."
"Little bastard." Lin Fu laughed and cursed again, but felt that his face was a little stiff.
He looked at Lin Xi who was walking towards him with some awe, and had grown a lot taller. Seeing the confident smile on Lin Xi's face, he finally couldn't help but shook his head, and sighed sadly: "You have finally grown up."
It’s bigger.”
Lin Xi did not stop. He hugged Lin Qian who was hanging on him and screaming happily, hugged Lin Fu, and hugged his mother who was usually strict with him but was reluctant to even beat him.
A family of four hugging each other.
He knows that no matter what he becomes, in the eyes of his parents, he is a child who will never grow up and will always need to worry.
"Dude! Look at our birds!"
Lin Qian's scream sounded discordantly again.
She broke free from Lin Xi's arms and ran back to the carriage as fast as she could. The way she danced and ran made Mr. Zhang, who was slowly walking out of the bamboo fence, laugh so hard that he coughed violently.
She lifted a large birdcage out of the carriage and opened the birdcage.
"Look, they won't fly around. They will fly back after flying for a while."
"Brother, the older one is called Lin Xi, and the younger one is called Lin Qian."
Looking at the two orioles that flew out of the cage and circled above Lin Qian's head, Lin Xi immediately grimaced and said, "Sister, didn't I tell you not to give us names exactly like ours?"
…
…
At night.
Lin Qian put a lid on a large iron box that Lin Xi had brought to her, which was filled with many special snacks and candies from various places in Yunqin. After washing, she got into the quilt that Lin Xi had laid for her, but she was still unsatisfied.
Lin Xi talked and refused to sleep.
"Be good, or I will tell you the story of the ghost doll Hanako."
"Ah, stinky old man."
The girl was frightened and quickly got into the thin blanket and even covered her head.
Lin Xi smiled and blew out the oil lamp.
The frosty moonlight and starlight spilled in from the window lattice.
"Brother, don't forget to take me horseback riding tomorrow. And, as you promised me, you'll tell me the story of The Lord of the Rings tomorrow."
Lin Xi smiled and patted her head covered by the thin blanket, knowing that she would never be able to sleep here. "Okay, when did I lie to you?" After saying this, he walked out.
Outside the door, he heard that Lin Qian inside was finally quiet after opening the iron box again and eating something. He chuckled and walked to the door where his parents lived next to him, knocked on the door, and then pushed open the ajar door.
Walked through the door.
Although letters have been exchanged, it is impossible to explain many things clearly in the letters. In addition, many secrets of Qingluan Academy are restricted in the letters, so there must be many things that need to be explained to the parents.
Within the scope that could be explained, Lin Xi talked slowly with her parents and explained clearly the status of Qingluan Academy in the Yunqin Empire, its relationship with Dean Zhang and the late Emperor Yunqin, and explained clearly the status of Qingluan Academy in the Yunqin Empire.
Taking a job in Donggang Town is just the entry training for Qingluan College.
Regarding the matter of trying to deal with the cultivator this time, he also spoke softly about the Yuhua family's status in Yunqin and what kind of strength it had.
Because he knows very well that if some things are completely explained clearly, he will not have so many worries.
…
"Little bastard, I listened to your idea of adding spices to the soap. The business was surprisingly good some time ago, and I saved a lot of money. What do you think should be done next? ... Because a big business also followed suit and added spices to the soap.
Spices, the next business will not be easy."
"Did they add color?"
"color?"
"You can add flower juice, grass juice, etc. to it to make it a variety of beautiful colors. If you promote the different effects of different colors, it should be able to become popular for a while."
After clarifying some serious issues, Lin Xi and the parents in Lulin Town talked about some trivial matters at home and business.
Over the years, Lin Xi's family business has been doing well, and there is no shortage of money. Outsiders think that Lin Fu is capable, but Lin Fu himself knows very well that most of the ideas are thought up by his son Lin Xi.
For Lin Xi, who comes from another world like Dean Zhang, although this world has been changed a lot by Dean Zhang, there are still many ideas that can be used to do business and make money. But before leaving Lulin Town, he had been
He felt that this kind of life was very peaceful and good, so he never thought of using these ideas to expand his business and open a big Lin family business.
After all, he is used to seeing places that are many times more prosperous than the most prosperous place in the world. He knows what he lacks and what he really needs. So he is naturally indifferent.
"Xi'er."
It was late at night, and Lin Fu, who even talked about a lot of trivial matters at home, stopped talking. After a moment of silence, Lin Xi's mother spoke up.
Lin Xi, who was very familiar with the fact that the most important conversations in the family were uttered by his soft-hearted and stern-faced mother, knew that today's conversation was at the end and the most critical moment, so he listened quietly as before.
"After your serious illness, you have become a different person and become much more sensible. But when you come back this time, you have really grown up."
The pretty woman looked at Lin Xi with emotion and said, "But no matter how outstanding a student you are, no matter what you do in the future, you are my son after all, and you are our only son. I
I am just a woman without much knowledge. I just want my son to be safe. Even if we are selfish...if you have to make some choices in the future, we hope you will not choose a place that is too dangerous."
"My child understands."
Lin Xi responded. As the saying goes, no one knows more than his father. Parents probably know their children's temperaments better than anyone else in the world. Similarly, as long as they are willing to experience it with their heart, they will also understand and understand their parents' intentions. He knows that in the future,
On the way here, my parents must have weighed and considered it for a long time. The meaning of this sentence is actually that if Lin Xi can avoid going to the border in the future, she will not go to the border. They may not know that the border troops are stationed.
The land is so dangerous, but they also know that many people go to the border and never come back. This is the biggest concession for ordinary parents.
…
After telling her parents not to worry again and letting them have a good rest, Lin Xi closed the door and walked into the stone house where Mr. Zhang and Jiang Xiaoyi were.
The three of them did not light a lamp, and all rested quietly.
The frost-like moonlight and starlight shone on the three of them from the open window.
Not long after, Mr. Zhang, who was coughing slightly, opened his eyes. He took a deep breath with difficulty and nodded to Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi, who also opened their eyes in the dark because of his strange movements.
The three people stood up, opened the door softly, walked into the courtyard, and walked out of the bamboo fence.
On a path by the lake, a fat businessman walked up with a smile on his face and a short green and red stick in his hand.
"The moonlight is like frost and everyone is here. I like it very much."
Looking at Lin Xi and others approaching from a distance, the fat merchant wiped his sleeves habitually, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "King Zhang Long, is your life too big, or is that well too short?
"
Lin Xi, Jiang Xiaoyi, and Mr. Zhang didn't speak.
They didn't speak because they saw a man whose face and clothes were still unclear coming out of the forest in the distance behind the fat merchant.
The fat merchant had no eyes on his butt. He didn't see anyone else appear at this time, so when he saw Lin Xi and others not speaking, he naturally felt that Lin Xi and others were frightened and scared, so he became even more proud and smiled.
Even more happily, "Lin Xi, you are very smart. You thought that I was dealing with the people around you, so you thought of hiding your relatives and friends first. But you thought that after walking for a while in the river overnight, when you got here, I would find you
Isn’t it time for you?”
After a slight pause, the fat merchant smiled with more satisfaction: "Thank you for your arrangement. I think killing all the people you care about in front of you will make me like you more. And there is no one else here.
If you don't bother me, it will be more convenient for me to do whatever I do."
"We shouldn't be able to defeat you." Lin Xi suddenly said this.
The fat merchant smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Lin Xi laughed heartily: "Because we can't beat him, the three of us are just playing tricks today."
Even Jiang Xiaoyi and Zhang Erye didn't know what Lin Xi meant by "making soy sauce".
Lin Xi smiled harmlessly, but the fat businessman who kept smiling couldn't help but feel something and turned around sharply.
"The lotus flowers in this lake are so beautiful."
