That night, Lin Xi was left behind, in the name of Zhao Yuanrong's reluctance. "Music Text". lw

"I've sent someone to tell the teacher, so don't worry." Zhao Jingyi said to Lin Xi with a calm expression, and then looked at Zhao Yuanrong.

Zhao Yuanrong is already eight years old, and he will be nine years old after the New Year, although he is not very sensible at this age. love, but vaguely understood the meaning of the night, so he said that he was independent and didn't need his cousin to tell stories □□.

Lin Xi only raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was noncommittal.

Out of the room, Zhao Jingyi said: "Young Master Lin, would you like to talk to me at night?" "The expression is extremely upright.

With something in mind, Lin Xi glanced at him and walked straight to the east wing, "It's late at night, isn't the prince tired?" Rest early. ”

"You don't need to go to court early tomorrow."

Zhao Jingyi was at the door of the east wing and did not leave.

Lin Xi couldn't enter the door, and suddenly had a new understanding of Zhao Jingyi's cheekiness, he had just seen his backyard delicate flowers during the day, so he wouldn't think it was over, right?

"If the prince can't sleep, he will go back, but the students are tired."

Lin Xi raised his chin towards the row of hazy buildings in the backyard.

Zhao Jingyi was suddenly deflated, "Xi'er ......"

"What advice does the prince have?"

Then Lin Xi was embraced, and a warm and reliable aura enveloped him.

I heard Zhao Jingyi say: "Xi'er, there will be a day, there will be a day when there will be no one between you and me, as long as ......" As long as the world is in his hands, no one can put a beak at that time.

"Just wait for me."

Lin Xi's hand was withdrawn from the thick cloak, wrapped around the broad shoulders, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

"There is no snow or wind tonight, so please come with me."

didn't take the stove, Zhao Jingyi's palms were warm, and Lin Xi's slightly cool hands were warmed when they were held.

The people in the courtyard had already been dispersed, and in the quiet light, only these two walked slowly.

"When spring begins, the teacher will let me go to Guozijian."

Zhao Jingyi's footsteps paused almost invisibly, because Lin Xi's steps were small, he couldn't see it, but the two held hands, Lin Xi could find his strangeness, and said with a smile: "But an accident?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Jingyi shook his head, "What did the teacher say?" ”

"He said that although the atmosphere of Guozijian is a little exaggerated, there are also the most people on the list in each Spring Festival, and it is beneficial for me to enter, and the people who are really talented and learned in it will benefit me a lot."

Zhao Jingyi agrees with this, Guozijian is the place of learning in the world, the teachers are the most abundant, and there are many students from official families, and their classmates are all connections, if Lin Xi wants to enter the office, this is indeed a good choice, after all, the Bai Family School is just a niche.

Zhao Jingyi was about to say something for Lin Xi, but heard the latter say: "If the teacher wants to enter the office, this is indeed the least noticeable method." ”

This time, Zhao Jingyi finally stopped.

With his understanding of Mr. Bai, he would not say it to Lin Ximing.

Lin Xi didn't seem to see Zhao Jingyi's grim expression, under the dim light, his eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake, "Tangled for more than half a month, haggard and aged several years, he finally made a choice...... He chooses to help you. ”

Zhao Jingyi instantly understood that Lin Xi knew!

In the stiff body for a moment, the apprehension suddenly surged like a wind and waves, and there was an irrepressible expectation.

His ambition is really rebellious, and if he is discovered by others, he will be punished by all the pen and will die. He could reveal it to Mr. Bai, but he didn't dare to tell Lin Xi a penny, for fear that Lin Xi would look at him like a traitor.

Now he can pretend to be stupid, but he always has hope in his heart, what if Lin Xi accepts it, and is even willing to support him?

A thought flashed, Zhao Jingyi was not an evasive person after all, he took a step forward, gently and firmly held Lin Xi's shoulder, and said in a dumb voice: "What do you think?" Do you think I'm going against the grain? ”

The dim light jumped, faint and bright, Lin Xi's expression did not change, he just shook his head slightly, looked back at him with clear eyes, and replied in a low but clear voice: "You are more suitable than those two." ”

In an instant, the corners of Zhao Jingyi's eyes turned red, and he felt that infinite power was born from the hundreds of bones of his limbs, which was injected into the churning waves in his heart, rolling up higher waves, making him have an urge to look up to the sky and roar.

In the dead of night, it was out of place after all, Zhao Jingyi finally condensed this surging into a sigh, "Lin Xi ......"

There was indescribable affection in his eyes, Lin Xi chuckled slightly, hesitated, but still raised his hand and touched his face, and said: "You go forward, don't look back if you decide, whether it is out of selfishness or justice, as long as you live up to the people who help you and hope for you, you will be judged by future generations." ”

This sentence was comparable to thousands of troops, making Zhao Jingyi's last bit of concern disappear, leaving only that resolute determination.

The two of them didn't do anything that night, Zhao Jingyi felt that as long as he looked at Lin Xi, he would be satisfied, and the rest faded away.

Standing in front of the door of the East Wing again, Lin Xi suddenly turned to Zhao Jingyi and said, "Sincerely, you are pleased with me, and so am I." Life in the world, Shaohua white head, but a hundred years, there will always be people who cherish and do not want to miss, although the road ahead is slim and full of variables, I am willing to try for it, strive for your lifetime companionship, and steal the joy of this floating life. But no one can wait for a long time without regrets, your promise, I take it to heart, I don't ask you to give a deadline for fulfillment, but you have to understand that the longer your deadline, the more human etiquette I have left behind, the heavier the shackles they put on me, if you can't untie it, one day you will ...... Lin Xi could only ask himself to cut off this bond and bow to the world. ”

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Jingyi for the last time, it was heavy darkness, and his expression couldn't be seen clearly under the faint light.

"Go back, and we'll rest."

Everyone knows that no one in this world can be separated from anyone, and time can dilute a qiē until death.

He turned and went into the house, where the maid who served greeted him, took off his cloak for him, changed into his bedclothes, and washed and tidied up.

The maid standing at the door of the wing room was in a dilemma, and the prince had been standing at the door and it was not good to close the door in front of him, which was really disrespectful. But if it's always open, how can Lin Gongzi have a good rest?

The maid was thinking about asking, but she heard Zhao Jingyi say in a calm voice: "You serve well, it's cold at night, be careful not to let him catch a cold." ”

This maid has also been in the palace for a few years, and it is the first time to hear that Prince Rui is so thoughtful to take care of a person, and she was a little surprised for a while.

However, when she hurriedly received the order to salute, she found that Lord Rui had turned to leave, and the back was still resolute and decisive.

"Drinking the blood of soldiers, scraping the people's fat, and seizing the country's interests, these are the three fastest ways to get money. It's just that the heavy army is suppressed in the northwest, controlled by the senior brother, and the emperor is extremely concerned about it during the Northern Expedition. And three years ago, the Jiangnan corruption case turmoil has not passed, and now the two princes do not dare to make a lot of money to seek tax silver, and the only thing that can be paid attention to is the disaster relief silver, but the Qin mission will be changed, in the past few years, the Qin mission sent out is not the people of the two kings, obviously the emperor does not trust these two very much, and there are not many people who can operate secretly, not only is it not a long-term solution, but it is very easy to be caught and lose the power in his hands. If the two princes need a steady stream of silver to expand their contacts, they will definitely have to find other methods, and the benefits of the country are so great that such temptations are difficult to resist. ”

Lin Xi sat opposite Mr. Bai, took the pen and paper, and wrote an analysis on the paper, "The King of Guanzhi Shu lost the Jiangnan Silver Treasury, and it seemed to be a little tight that year, but in the past two years, he has begun to be generous again, and it is not like he is short of money. Looking at King Liang again, because the account book is not clear, the Jiangnan forces have been somewhat restrained, but they are still loose, so it can be seen that there is another silver treasury. However, with the temperament of these two, it must not be a serious business. ”

Lin Xi wrote quickly, frowning slightly as if he was thinking when he wrote about his doubts, and after a while, he stretched out again, and Mr. Bai had a complicated look on his face, and his mood was indescribable for a while.

Did his little apprentice get on the thief ship just one night?

"Xi'er."

Lin Xi raised his head and looked at Old Mr. Bai, "Teacher? ”

But seeing the old gentleman's solemn face, he said: "You put it down first, do you know what you are doing?" ”

"The teacher thinks the students can stay out of it?" Lin Xi blew the ink on the paper, and then put it in front of Mr. Bai, "Please ask the teacher for advice." ”

He really doesn't have anything to teach, isn't this the right thing, and it's difficult for him to maintain his integrity, how can he tell his students to stand upright?

Although Zhao Jingyi is a military general, he has always had an excellent reputation in Shilin, and this meritorious master disappeared after he returned the military power again. The emperor and the queen mother have wanted to point out the famous family for marriage many times, but they have always pushed it away in the name of filial piety, so knowing etiquette and understanding etiquette, to be honest, Mr. Bai was quite surprised, and he was very much in favor. In this world where loyalty and filial piety are more important than heaven, these two measures have undoubtedly won him the praise of the world, and you must know that all kinds of etiquette can easily become expedient here in the royal family.

And Lin Xi is young, it is possible if he is fooled.

Mr. Bai subconsciously didn't want to guess that his eldest apprentice would pull the younger apprentice onto the thief ship in order to force him to choose, but he still had to ask clearly.

"How did you find out about this? But what did your brother say to you that day? Don't hide it, come one by one. ”

That day, I was entangled in emotional matters, but this matter was only confirmed, how could Lin Xi say it bluntly, I can't say that Mr. Bai directly changed his mind and went desperately to find Zhao Jingyi. The previous knowledge of etiquette and etiquette can immediately become absurd and obscene.

So he shook his head and said: "The teacher has been hiding it from me, but after all, you and I have been with the master and apprentice for three years, even if the students can't guess all of your thoughts, they can expect everything, the senior brother didn't say anything, but I just tried to reveal my thoughts." ”

Mr. Bai was depressed, looking at Lin Xi with sad and self-reproachful eyes, and the latter comforted: "Why should the teacher be like this, since ancient times, birds choose good trees to perch, people are wise and ministers, senior brother is open-minded, disciplined, and prestigious, if he is fortunate enough to hand over to him, the □□ glorious period will be just around the corner, imagine if the king of Shu or the king of Liang finally ascends the treasure, has the teacher ever thought about what the situation will be?" ”

Definitely, this is the other way around being persuaded by yourself?

Mr. Bai looked radiant, and Lin Xi, who was lobbying for Zhao Jingyi, had nothing to say for a while.

His eyes fell on the paper in front of Lin Xi's house, and finally he said, "Iron, horses, salt, tea, that's all." ”
