Lin Risheng's heart was in turmoil, and he was speechless for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 He slowly raised his head, his gaze slowly samming up her sleeve, his thoughts overflowing into his heart like a flowing gaze, and at the same time a sweet aroma flowed down her clutched sleeve into his nose. He secretly took a breath, choked angrily, stood up and said angrily: "Siyu, why are you here to tease me again?!" ”

She took off her hat and laughed, "You're not stupid." ”

She put the sleeve mask on her nose and sniffed it, and said sweetly, "You still remember the fragrance of osmanthus on my body." ”

Lin Risheng stiffened his face, sat down with his back to her, ignored her, and said angrily: "You actually use Yunxi to tease me, it's disgusting." ”

Chen Siyu snorted, deliberately turned his back to him, fiddled with the brim of his hat with both hands, and said with a grin, "I'm kind, alas, pretending to be the person you like, so that you can see her and relieve your lovesickness, why don't you thank me." ”

Lin Risheng slapped the table and said angrily: "Nonsense." ”

Chen Siyu's eyes rolled, and he grinned childishly: "I didn't talk nonsense, are you a fool when you are a fool, and even if you are a fool, you can see that you have affection for Yunxi." ”

Lin Risheng really had nothing to do with her, so he had to explain desperately: "You don't want to talk nonsense, ruin Yunxi's reputation, if you want to say that there is love, there is indeed love, but it is the love of brother and sister." ”

Chen Siyu stuck out his tongue and said deliberately: "I don't believe it, do you dare to bet with me." If you dare to bet with me, I will believe it. ”

Lin Risheng didn't look back, and said angrily: "Don't dare, you say." ”

Chen Siyu jumped up and down in front of him, and said with a grin: "Do you dare to swear that you won't like Chu Yunxi." ”

Lin Risheng really swore a serious gambling curse: "What's so difficult about this, the emperor is above, if I, Lin Risheng, have half selfish intentions towards Chu Yunxi, the sky will thunder." ”

Chen Siyu blocked his lips with two fingers and said, "Slow!" The thunder and thunder in the sky are inevitably a bit serious, just a joke. It's better to say so, if you violate this word, you will miss saving people, and you will be ashamed for the rest of your life. ”

Lin Risheng shook off his hand, and immediately became angry, roaring angrily: "How can you joke with other people's lives as oaths, it's so capricious!" ”

She was also a little annoyed, and she crossed her waist and wanted to reason with him. There was a knock on the door, Lin Risheng stood in place in panic and didn't dare to move, but she reacted quickly, picked up her hat and hid in the shadows behind the closet.

At the door opening, a strong aroma of food hit, and Lin Risheng felt that his stomach was so vulnerable, and he cowardly screamed in surrender under the siege of Fanxiang. Yinsui asked with a smile while helping Cuihuan set up the meal, "I just heard who Childe was talking to?" ”

Startled, he stammered and lied to cover up, "Oh. No, I'm endorsing, endorsing. ”

Yinsui covered his mouth and smiled, and said to himself, "What a nerd." ”

Cuihuan put a pot of hot chrysanthemum wine, and then placed two wine glasses on the left and right, her Sima Zhao's heart was so obvious, Chen Siyu, who was hiding behind the closet, wrinkled her nose and snorted lightly.

Although Lin Risheng repeatedly excused himself from drinking, he couldn't help the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Yinsui, he was a soft-hearted and good person, as long as it didn't involve his own bottom line of principles, he would generally not refute people's kindness. A character like him is kind-hearted when he says it is good, but he is weak and easy to bully when he says it is ugly. What's more, he met an extremely shrewd and cunning woman, so he had to force a smile and take her glass of water and wine.

After a few glasses of wine, Yinsui felt the heat coming up, his smile became more and more charming, his posture became more sultry, and he didn't feel a little flirtatious and frivolous in his soft words, Lin Risheng was a little uncomfortable. Thinking that she had drunk too much, she wanted to call Cuihuan to help her back to the room.

Silver Spike staggered to his feet, pretending to be too weak to drink, fell on him, and said with a vague smile: "I'm so happy today, it's rude, don't laugh at it." Come have another drink, have another drink and I'll go. ”

She poured a full glass and brought it to his lips, and he tried to reach out to take it, but she smiled and blocked his hand, intending to let him drink it from her hand. With an impatient look on his face that he wanted to send her away quickly, he lowered his head to take a wine glass. But she smiled and moved the wine away, flattered her bones, cocked her fingers, and said coquettishly: "People want you to drink like this." After saying that, she actually took half a glass of wine in her mouth, and Sakura Hong leaned towards his mouth.

Lin Risheng was shocked and embarrassed, and pushed her away vigorously, she hit the closet, spit out a mouthful of wine, and the wine glass shattered on the ground. She was stunned, and one of them suddenly helped her from behind, and said with a pretty smile: "Sister, you can stand firm." ”

Yinsui suddenly saw that there were other people in the room, thought it was a ghost, and screamed in fright. Chen Siyu giggled to soothe her. When she accepted the fact that the other party was human, she asked, "Who are you?" ”

Chen Siyu ignored Lin Risheng's cold sweat, and replied without thinking: "I am his wife." Because he was not worried about him, he went all the way to Beijing to take the exam alone, so he followed him all the way here. ”

Lin Risheng's face turned green, and she wanted to explain, but she didn't give him any chance, she pulled Yinsui and cooed, and called "sister" affectionately, she was as kind to her as a long-lost sister, and Yinsui quickly lowered her guard. At this moment, he became an outsider, left to the sidelines, and no one cared about him.

Chen Siyu talked and laughed with her like a yellow warbler, she talked about the hardships of following her lover, talked about his father's opposition, and talked about topics that all women would be interested in, such as infatuated women and negative men.

Yinsui seems to have found a confidant in the world, she was a very deviant and willful rebellious person when she was a girl, the girls in the township regarded her as a poisonous woman and a wicked woman, she rarely had anyone to talk to on weekdays, and today she met a very talkative Chen Siyu, every word touched her heart, and she was so happy that she almost told Lin Risheng to treat her new sister well in the future.

The two chatted speculatively, and Lin Risheng was like sitting on pins and needles, and finally waited for Cuihuan to shout, saying that he had just received the news that Zhao Shimei, the newly appointed magistrate of the local county, would invite all the squires to a banquet tomorrow, and let Yinsui's family go by name, so that she could rest in peace earlier, so as not to delay tomorrow's major event. When she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said goodbye, and was satisfied, and went back to the house in high spirits.

As soon as Yinsui left, Chen Siyu smiled proudly at Lin Risheng: "How is it, do you accept it?" I can take her back properly, if I wasn't there just now, her spicy temperament will go crazy, and you have to take off a layer of skin if you want to get out. ”

Lin Risheng wiped the sweat from his head and said to her convincingly: "I'm convinced, Miss Chen." Thank you for saving your life. ”

Chen Siyu laughed, she took a bite of the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, and said disdainfully: "It's really unpalatable, the craftsmanship is too bad." ”

He didn't bother to discuss the dishes with her, so he made the bed haphazardly. He pulled a few more chairs and put them together and said, "You sleep in the bed, I sleep in the chair." Hurry up and get on the road early tomorrow morning, this woman is really terrible, and it is best to go. ”

Chen Siyu remembered his stunned appearance just now, and couldn't help laughing when he saw him cautious like a frightened bird at the moment.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, the two left in a hurry. Fortunately, Yinsui was going to the banquet of Zhixian County, so he dressed up slowly and methodically, and did not do much to keep it, but only lightly said two words of farewell.

Chen Siyu dragged Lin Risheng into his own carriage, the coachman was an old man in the village, and saw that she disguised herself and went into Yinsui's house last night and didn't come out, so she waited in the maple forest outside the courtyard for a night.

At the moment, the wheels are rolling all the way north. He said a bunch of gentlemanly reasoning, and persuaded her to go home, so as not to attract people's talk. She hugged her chest against the wall of the car, hummed and chirped and ignored it, and only said, "I am Shangchang'an to take care of the Chen family's silk business, but I just happen to be on the same road with you." "Gagged him for the reason. He is already a little clumsy, a scholar who is stupid and can only talk about the truth of death in books, where is Chen Siyu's opponent who has been in the shopping mall since he was a child. lost in two rounds, and obediently sat in the car and followed her all the way to Chang'an.

The two of them walked noisily for seven or eight days, and finally entered the capital city of Chang'an.

The simplicity, grace, heaviness and solemnity of Chang'an City made the hearts of the two young people who took care of the beauty of the smart and graceful mountains and rivers in the south surge, and those fantasies about Chang'an from the ancient poems were now really in front of their eyes.

Lin Risheng stretched his head out of the carriage and looked at the rainbow light reflected from the dome of Chang'an, feeling extremely excited. The eaves of the tall buildings and towers that showed the extraordinary and majestic momentum of the capital flashed in front of his eyes, and the Huyin silk bamboo and whirling dance tunes that represented the eclectic and wide of the capital sounded in his ears. Those young faces who were full of ideals for the future, either wearing armor or wearing a hat, also inspired him to be inspired by the man's achievements and achievements.

At that moment, he remembered his father's persuasion to him, perhaps it was the confinement of his vision and thoughts that was limited by a small place, and when he really walked out of his simple hometown and walked towards the stage where the value of life could be realized, he felt that his blood was really ignited.

The carriage stopped in front of a towering high-rise building called "Observation Tower", which is said to be the tallest restaurant in Chang'an City, and you can overlook the panoramic view of Chang'an from the top of the building. When he wrote to Lin Yueyuan to tell him the news that he was coming to Chang'an, she did not hesitate to choose the place where he would receive the wind, which was elegant and elegant, and a frequent gathering place for literati and nobles.

The two went upstairs and went straight to the private room on the fourth floor, pushed open the door and saw that the room was empty, the two looked at each other, could it be that they came early?

He has been holding darkness in front of Lin Risheng's eyes. Chen Siyu was smiling coquettishly on the side, urging him to quickly guess who it was.

No one would do this kind of naughty thing except Lin Yueyuan, so of course he guessed his sister first. The man shook his head at Chen Siyu, she clapped her hands and said, "That's not right! ”

Hearing Chen Siyu's clapping, it must not be her, could it be Chu Yunxi? Unlikely, will Yunxi be in Chang'an, he played the drum in his heart, but listening to Chen Siyu's cheerful voice, it was obvious that the two of them knew each other. So he asked weakly: "Yunxi?" ”

He received a light slap on the head, "Wrong again!" Chen Siyu grinned.

Before disarming and surrendering, he shouted a few names randomly, which were obviously incorrect, and finally even called out Yan Qingshuang's name. But unexpectedly, Yan Qingshuang's contemptuous and arrogant voice really appeared in the room, "I won't be as boring as Lin Yueyuan." ”

Lin Yueyuan, who was standing behind Lin Risheng, jumped away and shouted, "You're boring." ”

He suddenly felt that his eyes were bright, the hand covering his eyes had been removed, he turned his head and was about to jokingly reprimand the two for cheating, but a person at the door greeted him with a smile: "Lin Risheng, long time no see!" ”

Lin Risheng was stunned, he didn't expect Chu Yunxi to really appear, she was wearing a white dress and a white skirt, with a white flower on her sideburns, and she still looked like a mourner. Her height has risen a little, and her facial features have opened a lot more than in her memory, but she still does not change her elegant temperament of a slim lady and beautiful woman. And what is gratifying is that although she is still thin, her eyes are not as panicked as before, and she is stunned, like an indifference after being reborn after a catastrophe, and she is not shocked.

He was very surprised and very happy to see her now in good spirits, and he wanted to go over and pull her to gossip and ask her about her experiences and changes over the years, but when he and Chen Siyu met unexpectedly, and then thought of the ambiguous joke she made with him, he was slightly embarrassed, stopped his excited pace, just stood in place, smiled lightly and replied with a restrained greeting.

Immediately after that, another person came in, high standard and beautiful, with a magnificent temperament, a pair of Hetian green jade crowns on his head that were not vulgar and noble, and the dark blue color of the body showed his heroism and elegance.

As soon as Shi Jiaheng entered the house, he saw this strange man, his eyes were like willow leaves, his red lips were like rouge, his cheeks were better than ice and snow, his appearance was soft and like a woman, his temperament was somewhat similar to Chu Yunxi, but his appearance was not very similar to Lin Yueyuan, but he did hear Chu Yunxi calling his name affectionately in the back, and he knew that he was Lin Yueyuan's brother Lin Risheng.

Thanks to Chen Siyu's accompaniment, he is no longer the plain clothes on the way to Beijing at the moment, he doesn't care much about the details of clothing and dressing, but her carefulness and exquisiteness happen to enhance his temperament and taste on some important occasions. At that time, the silk weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River had just emerged in the north, in addition to the precious Shu brocade, the silk of Suzhou and Hangzhou also doubled in value, he wore the best brocade from the Mingbi Villa, and the green Ruyi pattern embroidered by Suzhou embroidered by the embroidered lady was also extraordinary. This did not lose his dignity in front of Shi Jiaheng.

In order to make room for Shi Jiaheng to enter the door, Chu Yunxi had already quietly entered the house and stood side by side with Lin Risheng. He looked at the two people who were matching and intimate opposite, chuckled in his heart, and greeted him with a stiff smile. And he is also entangled with the unusually quiet Chen Siyu.

Lin Yueyuan listened to the two of them politely come and go, and introduced a family background and chewed on words, which was too distant, so he heartily pulled the two of them and smiled dryly: "You two don't be so sour." This is my brother Lin Risheng, and this is my third brother Shi Jiaheng. The third brother is one year younger than the elder brother, counting our eldest brother, ranking third. You know about our family's affairs, third brother, so I won't talk about it. As for my third brother, my father is Shi Lie, a general in the northwest, an elder brother and a younger sister in the family, who have led soldiers to fight, and who has won the martial arts, and now leads the forbidden army and is stationed in the three major halls of Yuanxin Palace. I forgot that the official name and grade were too long, but that's probably it anyway. Brother, do you still have any questions? ”

No matter who he is in front of, Lin Yueyuan still does not change his straightforward nature. Everyone was amused by her, but Lin Risheng smiled reluctantly, pulled her aside, and began to teach her a lesson again, no big or small, no standing.

Lin Yueyuan sat down with a loud scream in her ears, and muttered: "Don't let people live, listen to your cousin's nagging in the palace, and listen to your nagging when you leave the palace, it's annoying!" ”

Everyone laughed again, and Chu Yunxi beckoned everyone to sit down, and inadvertently sat between the Lin brothers and sisters. Everyone sat around, she reintroduced it, and everyone saluted each other. The downstairs running hall brought tea and fruits, melon seeds and snacks, and everyone began to chat.

Shi Jiaheng and Lin Risheng are of the same age, and they are both very self-contained and talented, and there is no entanglement of political and economic interests, they can be honest with each other, and they soon became acquainted. After Lin Risheng listened to his sister's praise of Shi Jiaheng's achievements, he felt even more ashamed of himself, and frequently nodded his head to express his admiration.

Shi Jiaheng was embarrassed by the praise of their brothers and sisters, and said modestly: "Brother Lin is too modest, if Brother Lin can rank among the top three in this scientific expedition and enter Hanlin with the title of the gold list, the future is far from comparable to that of our generals." ”

Lin Risheng smiled bitterly: "The top three don't dare to hope, it's good to be shortlisted." I can't lose the face of the Lin family. ”

Lin Yueyuan looked at Lin Risheng's bitter gourd face, ripped the kumquat orange peel in his hand into a mess, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Looking at your appearance, it must be the old man who forced you again." The old man's words are not holy decrees. Why don't you resist. ”

Lin Risheng sighed and said: "What you say is very childish, you are a daughter and you can be willful, but I am the son of the Lin family, and family responsibilities can be regarded as child's play." You see how much glory Jia Heng has earned for the Shi family by worshipping the general at such a young age, but I am over twenty years old but have achieved nothing, and I am very ashamed. ”

Shi Jiaheng felt in his heart, and said unconsciously: "Yes, although men are freer than women in the world, they also have a lot of responsibilities than women, women have to take care of a small family, but men have to fight for the whole family, and even the whole country." ”

Lin Yueyuan didn't think so, and sent a set of his own feelings: "I don't think so. The revitalization of a family or a country can not be done by one person? In terms of the Lin family alone, our team is thin, and there is only one brother, a man. And the other uncles have many children, but they all rely on the ancestral field to live or the grace of the concubine, where can there be a decent filial son and grandson? Even if my brother has the best official residence in the future, can such a Lin family disciple be able to take on a big responsibility, and is it worth taking care of? If it weren't for the fall of their rich prodigal sons who were on the verge of eating a vegetarian diet, how could they give those truly talented children of the poor family a chance to serve the country and seek advancement? ”

Her few resounding rhetorical questions shocked everyone in the room at once, family responsibility is a painful golden hoop on the heads of many men, because of the expectations of parents and the expectations of the family, many young men have sacrificed their original ideals and beliefs, and are firmly bound to the wishes of their families, some people resist, some compromise, some obey, but few people will think about whether it is worth it.

How to measure the scale between value and unworth, Lin Yueyuan gave her answer: even if you try your best or even sacrifice yourself, you can't achieve the goals expected by your relatives, then it is not worth sacrificing and fighting for others. He was a little shaken, but no one could answer whether the ideal his father had chosen for him was his destiny or his father's wishful thinking, and he fell back into the contradictions.
