Flocks of geese on the horizon began to set off for the south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe trees and flowers on the street are withered, but the afternoon sun is still golden and warm. The autumn of Chang'an has both the bleakness and loneliness of parting, but also the joy and satisfaction of harvest. Any season is like a person's life, with joys and sorrows. This kind of mixed mood of joy and sorrow is probably understood better than Geng Gong at this moment. I thought it was a desperate despair, but I didn't want to be a new life.

Biyin and Lin Yueyuan tacitly made fun of his funny expressions dancing together. He also cooperated in place, and he always had a sincere smile on his face.

Suddenly, a few soldiers sounded gongs to open the way, driving pedestrians along the street. Lin Risheng also heard that the curfew in Chang'an City was quite strict, but at this moment, when he entered the application, this curfew was not too early. Shi Jiaheng understood that there were about very noble and prominent people passing by, so he explained to a few people, and everyone hurriedly avoided them. Soon, a person riding a red and brown horse in front of the road appeared in everyone's field of vision, followed by four carriages.

Shi Jiaheng looked at the person's figure from a distance and looked quite familiar, and when he walked in, the majestic posture of the dragon's eyebrows and leopard's neck, the arrogant and arrogant demeanor, the majestic momentum, and the external strength hidden under his domineering momentum have never been like this today

It disgusted him.

After learning that he had forced Qing Chun to death, Biyin, Lu Yan, and Lin Yueyuan all hated and disgusted him as if they had seen a demon. Chen Siyu still remembers the rudeness and arrogance of this General Gu Chaomin, and Chu Yunxi's story has also negated his character. Lin Risheng saw that he had an excessive fever and a confused mind that day, so that he only had a vague impression of him, but no clear understanding. He exerted his studious spirit and asked him Shi Jiaheng for advice.

"He is Gu Chen's eldest son. The prime minister died, the court was empty, and the original important ministers of the court in recent years were fought to death, and they collapsed. There are few usable people in Chang'an, but the nobles in Luoyang, Taiyuan and other places are still prosperous, and Luoyang is respected by the Gu family. Gu Chen is the elder brother of the concubine, he guards the eastern capital all the year round, and this time he was summoned to Beijing, and it is rumored that he will replace the Chu family as the upstart of Chang'an City. Gu Chaomin this time

escorted the Gu family into Beijing. ”

The reputation of the Gu family is also familiar in the Lin family, and the nobility of the concubine is not unrelated to the support of the Gu family. Lin Risheng unconsciously showed a strange expression, and Lin Yueyuan still looked disrespectful.

A child's anxious and frightened cry rang out from the crowd on the right, and a young mother on the opposite side stretched out her arms to soothe her child's grief with gestures and shouts. The wide central street resembles a galaxy, so that the mother and son are stopped on both sides of the street by the soldiers who open the way.

A kind passer-by next to him tried to pick him up from behind and tease him with the candy he had just bought to calm him down. The child, however, fled as if in great fright, and the gap between the legs of the adults with his short body slipped through the crowd. Facing him was Gu Chaomin's blood-red horse hooves.

The fierce horse was frightened by the crying child, its front hooves were raised high, and the mane on its back was shaken unruly, and the horse's hooves were thrown wildly, Gu Chaomin stretched the reins on his hand, and the reins were pulled by two strands of force, and finally overwhelmed and broke from it. He suddenly lost his weight and fell off his horse, he landed on the ground with both feet, rolled backwards, and fell to his knees with a slight misstep, his knees numb and he was unable to stand up for a moment.

The horse lost control, and as if mad, it neighed and galloped, and the child was so frightened that he forgot to cry, and stayed where he was. The mother called her son's name sadly, but was dragged by her shirt and desperately stopped her from moving forward.

Seeing that Crazy Horse was about to rush towards the innocent crowd, Shi Jiaheng jumped up, stepped forward, picked up the horsewhip that fell to the ground, ran to the horse's side, and kicked the horse's stomach and turned over. Crazy Horse kept shaking this body, trying to throw him off the horse's back, he hugged the horse's neck, supported the stirrups with both feet, groped for the broken reins and held it in his palm, stood up and tightened the reins, controlled the horse's neck and head, and then slammed the horse's buttocks with a whip, the horse neighed, and hit the horse's belly with both legs, it screamed again, and when the important parts of its body were restrained, and after struggling to no avail, it finally came down honestly and obediently at the mercy of others.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

Gu Chaomin, who was frightened by his mount and was lifted off the ground, and who couldn't stop the stubborn horse from running in time because of his sore knees, looked at Shi Jiaheng, who was in the limelight, and was slightly annoyed, and felt ashamed of his disgrace in front of everyone, so he chose a very bastard way to promote his self-esteem and vent his anger - he snatched the whip from the hand of his fellow guards and whipped the child.

"Stop." Lin Yueyuan shouted, she was surrounded by the crowd inside, and she couldn't rush out for a while, Lin Risheng, who was standing on the periphery, rushed out with her words, picked up the scared child, and Gu Chaomin's quick whip fell on his arm. The whip tore through his sleeve, revealing a trail of blood.

He pushed the child into the crook of the arm of the anxiously crying mother on the side of the road, but he was unable to dodge the thud of the next whip.

In the next moment, Chen Siyu squeezed out of the crowd, and Lin Yueyuan also kicked down the two people in front of him, and jumped out on the backs of the two. Shi Jiaheng jumped off the horse, reached out and took Gu Chaomin's whip, and his palm was torn.

Lin Yueyuan threw out a whip and struck at Gu Chaomin, wanting to avenge the two. Shi Jiaheng resisted the whip with his back in order to take care of the overall situation, and a whip mark was also drawn on his back. She was alarmed and rushed to check on his wounds.

Over there, Chen Siyu also pulled Lin Risheng's wound with concern and checked it over and over again, and saw that Shi Jiaheng was also injured by him, and he was immediately angry.

Shi Jiaheng's injury really made Gu Chaomin a little worried, he had no intention of going against him, because he was angry, he just whipped a few whips to vent his shame and anger on a few grass people, if he offended him because of this, it would be worth the loss. He calmed down, and wanted to say a few soft words to put all the blame on those grass people who rushed into the official's house, and fooled the matter over. But he tilted his head slightly and looked at Chen Lin and the others behind him, but he was stunned.

The image of Chen Siyu's demon girl was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he recognized it at a glance. And the man standing next to her holding hands, his clothes and expression were completely different from the past, so that he finally remembered that he was the man who was unconscious and fainted in front of everyone after being drenched in heavy rain that day, surnamed Lin!

His eyes became more and more cold, and his sharp gaze fell on the hands of the two holding hands, and his face was slightly hideous. The chilling hatred permeated the air, and his steps forward became heavier and heavier.

Shi Jiaheng felt his hostility, for fear that he would do it again, regardless of the burning pain on his back, he deliberately hugged him under the cover of an intimate greeting, and stopped his attack like a brother who had been reunited for a long time, and deliberately moved to Lin Yueyuan, using his body to cut off the opportunity for the two to clash.

He struggled to keep a few people awkwardly peaceful, but he ignored the fact that even the mildest of people have tempers. Chen Siyu, who was originally extremely relieved, provoked Gu Chaomin in a tone full of gunpowder at this time: "General Gu, I can be regarded as a teacher today of the demeanor of the Gu family's century-old clan - horses trample the people, and evil whips hurt people!" I don't know how to apologize, but I kill people on the street. It's a pity that you yourself are in trouble, and you don't know that you still have the leisure to whip others here? ”

Shi Jiaheng took the lead in showing goodwill, Gu Chaomin originally planned to go down the slope, but her words were like pouring wine on the fire, and he was angry again. He broke away from Shi Jiaheng's hands, and asked viciously: "What disaster, don't you want to spray people with blood?" ”

Chen Siyu smiled maliciously: "General Gu doesn't have a good memory." Last time, General Gu was ordered to come to my house to welcome the water and sink into Beijing, and no one in my Chen family has ever approached the ancestral hall, but you surrounded my Chen family like a prison like an iron bucket. In fact, General Gu's suspicion is the greatest. Although my Chen family is just a small business family, I will never be bullied, and I want to go to Beijing to ask for an explanation in front of the saint. ”

Gu Chaomin thought that it was a big deal, it was an old case, and sneered: "Hahaha, Miss Chen, don't you know that this case is closed?" ”

Chen Siyu shook his head disappreciatively and said, "The thief has not been caught, how can it be said that the case is closed." The Holy Lord has made a will, and if there is new evidence, Dali Temple will definitely retry the case. ”

Gu Chaomin raised his head and sneered: "If you really have shallow knowledge without leaving home, you don't know that the thief has already committed suicide in fear of crime!" ”

Chen Siyu was taken aback and said, "Suicide in fear of sin? What do you mean? Who is that man? ”

"It is Yu Gu, the Hangzhou garrison secretary you invited, who was found to have committed suicide in an inn outside Sizhou City not long ago."

Chen Siyu was incredulous, and he couldn't answer the words. She was speechless, and Gu Chaomin laughed proudly.

Shi Jiaheng had to pull down his son and say a few words of mediation and apology. Lin Yueyuan hated the root of his teeth, but because of his third brother's kindness, he swallowed his anger.

Gu Chaomin finally overwhelmed Chen Siyu, who was eloquent in words, and was complacent. And Shi Jiaheng's generosity and modesty gave him enough face. He wanted to get his favorite gift, and he got on the horse with satisfaction. The four carriages behind slowly followed.

The four of them stayed in the middle of the road and did not leave, Chen Siyu who was standing with his back to the carriage station did not pay attention, when the second carriage drove past the four people, the curtain of the car opened a corner, and a beautiful face flashed from inside, and the autumn water-like apricot eyes swept over the figures of the four people, and the last reflection in the eyes was the green Ruyi that seemed to follow her heart.

Chen Siyu, who was as careful as dust, only instructed Lin Risheng, and didn't know the deep meaning behind the gaze that came from the bet: "This Gu Chaomin is ruthless, and he does not hesitate to kill people in order to get rid of the guilt." When you become an official in the future, you must be careful, and you must not have anything to do with him. ”

Shi Jiaheng stared at the distant carriage for a while, and vaguely felt that the gaze just now seemed familiar.

After this trouble, the people of Chang'an's evaluation of Gu Chaomin fell to the bottom, but the praise of Shi Jiaheng was in full swing.

Several people first sent Lin Yueyuan to the vicinity of the palace gate, and then returned to Shi's mansion together, Mrs. Shi liked Chen and Lin very much, and two rooms in the backyard were also vacated for the two to live in. A few days later, Yan Qingshuang accompanied Chu Yunxi to help her father's coffin enter Jinling, and Lin Yueyuan asked Concubine Shu again to send her out of the palace as if they were sisters, which was also the scholar clan she took the initiative to make friends with after entering Beijing, and Concubine Shu naturally supported it. So the four of them met together to bid farewell to the two.

This winter was surprisingly quiet, perhaps because of the sudden farewell to those thrilling days, Shi Jiaheng suddenly felt bored. Every day, I always feel that my soul is not giving up, and my heart is empty; Lin Yueyuan was still like a prison bird, frantically longing for the free and fresh air outside the palace walls; Lin Risheng, on the other hand, devoted himself to the study of the teachings, poems, and theories of the saints with unprecedented energy, and the time for studying was tight and busy, blocking him from other thoughts, but he would still fall into a deep confusion in his free time. Although Chen Siyu's ingenious mind will occasionally make him smile, his increasingly depressed temperament and dull personality will still make her feel slightly worried, and it will also be the pressure and anxiety before the exam, and he will return to normal after the exam. That's how she'll explain herself.

After a winter of silent accumulation and struggle, the second year is bright, full of spring, for the hard work of a long time of lifting, this day is the day of the spring breeze, the good news of the horse's hooves resounded through their hearts of anticipation. Lin Risheng's mood is more complicated, mixed with the hope of his father and family, the excitement of the longing for a reward, and the anxiety about his future life, which keeps him awake for many days on end.

Although the ending is not brilliant, it is worthy of his hard work, with his talent in the imperial examination, it is a joke to enter the first class, but the second and twenty-second places are also worthy of expectations after all.

Chu Yunxi was very confident in him, and rarely took the initiative to inquire about his imperial examination. Chen Siyu, who was overjoyed, had already sent the good news to her in letters, of course, which also euphemistically mentioned the plan for marriage. She set off happily in the cherry blossom Jiangnan and returned to everyone. As a result, when she got home, she learned a shocking news that she never expected.

When the gold list was inscribed, the cave room spent candle nights.
