Qu Xia's heart was a little calm, he saw that Lin Shan seemed to have something, so he found something to make an excuse to go to the backyard.

Mo Ye walked into the study, and after a closer look, he found that this study was still a little different from the study of the house in Xingjia Village, the most obvious being that the closed window was much smaller than the study of the house in Xingjia Village, which was only used for ventilation and was not wide enough for a half-grown child to climb in and out.

Between the turbid air in the room, Mo Ye's first move after entering the study was to unscrew the latch on the back of the window and push the window open.

I took a deep breath of the air outside the window, although the opposite side of the window was a little underlit between the houses, but compared to the air in the study at this time, it still made people feel a lot more sparse.

However, when she turned around, she saw the gloom in Lin Shan's eyes flashing the moment before she lowered her eyebrows.

Lin Shan rested the long flat box in his hand on the desk, opened the lid and moved it halfway, reached out and groped in the box, and pressed his fingers on an irregularly shaped wooden block. At this time, a thought came to him, but he quickly hesitated. When he raised his eyes to look at Mo Ye and caught the doubt in her eyes, he sighed softly in his heart, and said gently: "Close the window, we are leaving, and we will clean up the house when we come back." ”

"Oh." Mo Ye replied and didn't say anything. Of course, she had doubts in her heart, and she always felt that the strange color in Master's eyes just now was not quite right, but she was not sure what it would point to, but just like Master said that she would clean up the house when she came back, she was going to ask randomly when she came back.

When Mo Ye turned to close the window, Lin Shan reached into the box and hooked his fingers on the wooden block, took out the wooden block and put it into his arms, then closed the lid of the box and placed it on the flat top floor of a bookshelf.

When you go out. Qu Xia naturally asked where Lin Shan's party went, and Mo Ye did what Lin Shan had told him last night, so Qu Xia didn't ask much.

Because Lin Shan once said that admiring apricots is not the whole content of today's trip, so there is nothing to prepare. Kyoto is bustling with many shops selling a variety of things. It seems that all you need to do is bring some silver. Of course, Qu Xia is also familiar with this.

When the group of three left the house and walked two streets, Jiang Chao said goodbye, and Mo Ye was a little surprised by this.

However, Lin Shan just smiled and said, "He has his own things to do." "I didn't explain anything more.

Mo Ye had to take a deep breath silently. Some things and some emotions seem to be tightened, the more likely it is that they will relax in an instant. Mo Ye's state of mind at this time was probably like this.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and Mo Ye also knew from what he saw and heard along the way that the group of patrol soldiers in the city was temporarily added for the security work of the Spring Apocalypse. In normal times, the patrol work of the Kyoto garrison is not so strict.

However, although the number of security sergeants has increased, the additional patrol team is not very terrifying, at least if there is no abnormality within the patrol range, the team is only like a sharp weapon in the sheath, no matter how sharp its edge is, it will not inadvertently hurt the people next to it.

In Kyoto at night, there are long-standing lights on both sides of the road. But the light is not as bright as the daytime, and the day is always the main time of activity for most people. In addition, today is the first day of the Spring Festival, and businesses in the city have opened their doors early. There are nearly twice as many pedestrians on the streets as usual, and in addition to locals, there are also many out-of-town people in various styles of clothing who come to admire apricots.

Walking in the bustling crowd, bathed in the warm sunshine of midspring, and seeing a dizzying array of various shop goods, Mo Ye couldn't help but think: This is more lively than the Lantern Festival in the small county town. Because his eyes and ears were constantly in contact with new things, Mo Ye didn't feel tired of walking, and he unconsciously arrived at the entrance of Xingshan Road.

There is a wall on the perimeter of Xingshan Road, which is not as tall and thick as the castle tower, but it is not comparable to the scale of the wall of an ordinary house, but Mo Ye can't help but question the scale of the last walled castle that protects the core of Kyoto. Standing in the team preparing to pass the inspection, Mo Ye couldn't help but whisper to Lin Shan after seeing that there were no people like the city patrol sergeant around.

"This kind of wall is called 'wolf's teeth', and it is not as weak as it seems." Lin Shan whispered a few words, and then did not continue to explain anything.

Mo Ye also knew that this place was not suitable for discussing this, so he immediately closed his mouth.

The identity of the inspection, Lin Shan still uses his pseudonym in Lizheng Academy.

Although Lizheng Academy is located in a small county town, it can have students in each imperial examination, so some of the young officials in the court and China were born in this academy. Although the Reisho Academy is slightly inferior to the state school in terms of scale and the Kyoto government school in terms of power, it can be regarded as a high-grade school in the middle of the continent.

Today, in addition to sending a certain number of sergeants to check the entry and exit of the people, in the military canvas shed not far from the checkpoint, there is also a household servant and a official Lang Zhong sitting in the town, and Lin Shan is holding the seal of the dean of the party on the name of the Lizheng Academy, and they naturally know each other.

After the wolf's tooth siege, although there is still some distance from the apricot fir road, but the palace pavilion in front of the cascading forest can be vaguely seen, to be close to the apricot fir road, the rich color of the palace Qiong Tower, the spirit animal statue on the eaves, and the auspicious relief on the pillar can also be clearly seen.

However, these beautiful buildings are behind a large palace tower that reveals a majestic atmosphere, and this square palace tower standing in front of the group of buildings is not known for its beauty in architectural style, but because of the dull color around it and shows a rather oppressive atmosphere.

Fortunately, in front of this square and wide palace building, there is a more open platform, although it is also paved with boxy blue rock, and there is no beauty at all like that palace building, but finally the oppressive atmosphere of the palace building is slightly dispersed.

Mo Ye followed Lin Shan's walk between the apricot and fir roads, and occasionally pink petals fell lightly on the top of his head, which made people's mood much softer.

Mo Ye glanced at the square palace building, and couldn't help but ask Lin Shan, "Master, what kind of place is there, it looks so strange!" ”

Lin Shan seemed to be really distracted at this time, and he was actually distracted, walking on this road again, the construction of the roadside was much more elaborate than back then, but some people were no longer there, and many things could not be repeated, he couldn't help but feel melancholy.

However, after hearing Mo Ye's voice, he turned his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, while wandering this street, the identities of the people around him had changed so dramatically, which had to make his mind complicated.

After being silent for a long time, he briefly mentioned it: "This is where the emperor's early dynasty was, and the handling of social and people's livelihood and some important decision-making decisions are all carried out there, and the weirdness you feel is actually the solemnity that it should show." ”

"Oh." Mo Ye responded.

At this time, she saw Lin Shan put his hand on her head, but he picked up an apricot petal. Looking at Lin Shan's gaze at the apricot blossoms between her fingers, Mo Ye was stunned, and immediately reached out and touched her head for a while, but unfortunately she didn't harvest any more petals, she had to look at Lin Shan again, seeing that he was still stunned, Mo Ye couldn't help but say, "Master, wow, are there insects on the petals?" ”

Lin Shan came back to his senses, flicked his fingers lightly, and let the petals fly away, and then he smiled and said to Mo Ye: "Someone told me before that every flower has a symbolic flower language, but I thought about it for a long time just now, and I didn't think of what the flower language of apricot blossoms is. ”

"Flower language?" Mo Ye muttered this word that made her feel unfamiliar, and after thinking about it, she said, "Did that person sue you for other flower languages, but not for you apricot blossoms?" ”

As soon as he said this, Mo Ye felt remorseful again. Since his master has the kind of identity that can influence the emperor's strategy, and he has that old mansion in Beijing full of books, he must have lived in Kyoto for a while, and this apricot blossom occupies such a position in Kyoto, how could 'that person' forget to say the flower language of apricot blossom after telling the master about other flower languages?

Lin Shan didn't answer the question Mo Ye asked, but after pondering for a while, he asked: "Flowers and trees are ruthless, and naturally they can't express their feelings, and the language of flowers is just a kind of emotion that people send to flowers. ”

After a pause, he looked at Mo Ye and asked, "Ye'er, what do you think the flower language of apricot blossoms should be?" ”

"This ......" Mo Ye scratched her head, today she was also dressed as a boy, dressed in a light green shirt, and her hair was still simply tied in a ponytail, which made her hairstyle not easy to be disrupted by such a catch.

After pondering for a while, Mo Ye still didn't come up with an answer, but asked Lin Shan, "Master, before answering your question, I want to ask, will these apricot trees on the Xingshan Road bear fruit?" ”

"These apricot trees are actually things left over from the previous dynasty, and as landscape flowers and trees, they will not bear fruit." Although Lin Shan didn't know why Mo Ye asked such a question, he still patiently explained, and added at the end: "Originally, Xingshan Road only stored zài in front of the palace, and later added two streets on the left and right to surround the palace in between, but the new apricot trees are still fruitless landscape flowers and trees." ”

"Huh?" Mo Ye was suspicious, and then sighed again: "Alas......"

Lin Shan asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to answer Master, the flower language of apricot blossoms means 'happiness' in my opinion." Mo Ye pursed his lips before continuing: "But although this flower is blooming and the color is bright and dazzling, if it is fruitless, then it cannot convey the feeling of 'happiness'." ”

Mo Ye looked up at the pink apricot blossoms that were blooming with branches, as if he was sighing at the flowers, and spoke to the flowers: "Apricot blossoms, apricot blossoms, how beautiful you are?" It's just that you have less than a month of beauty, and in the end, this beauty will also be kneaded into the mud pile, turned into nothingness, and only exchanged for more than ten days of prosperity with more than 300 days of hard work, do you feel pain, do you regret it? ”。 (To be continued.)
