(070), return
Mo Ye finally walked to the stable behind the courtyard.
The old horse under the shed had already recognized Mo Ye's figure, and had already neighed a few times before she could get closer. But it can only have this 'ability to communicate', and after hissing, it will stand like that, only flicking its tail and shaking its ears from time to time, sweeping away the flies that are pestering it, but it will not eat grass.
Mo Ye glanced at the manger that had been filled with hay, and then at the slightly bulging belly of the horse that was shaking its tail and shaking its ears, and was also looking at herself, even if the horse didn't speak, she understood that it didn't have to send itself to the academy these days, and it was very idle. It is impossible for a horse to eat grass all day, there is always a time to rest, and now is the time when it is full and waiting for it to eat.
For his aunt's diligence, Mo Ye had no admiration for the first time today.
With a long breath, Mo Ye looked at the group of bloodsucking flies flying on horseback, and suddenly had a thought. She picked a few long sticks of grass in the manger, braided a small whip like a braid, and gently waved it to help the horse chase away the flies.
At that moment, there was a slight noise at the gate of the courtyard. If Mo Ye was standing by the door at this time, she could clearly tell that someone was scooping a special key to open the door.
But she was standing in the stable, wielding a thin grass whip against a swarm of flies, a certain distance from the courtyard gate. And the soft grass braid gently brushed the horse's back, almost like an itch, so that the horse inhaled through its nose from time to time expressed its comfortable mood. So it wasn't until the gate of the courtyard opened and there was a loud 'creak' sound that Mo Ye heard it and glanced sideways.
After just one glance, she was stunned.
Master is back.
Lin Shan's clothes had already changed. Today he wore a pale undershirt, and he was draped in a plain robe with green bamboo leaves. He seemed to be in good spirits, he didn't have a crown today, his long hair was loosely tied behind his head with a brocade, and his soft hair lines covered half of his forehead, making his facial contours look much more gentle and casual.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, Lin Shan walked in a few steps, and saw Mo Ye standing in front of the manger and looking at him.
And Mo Ye saw him for the first time, and after he was stunned, he subconsciously moved his gaze, not daring to directly touch his eyes at this time. Avoiding Lin Shan's gaze, Mo Ye saw Ma An walking in a little stumbling behind him.
Mo Ye didn't understand how Ma An could walk with that kind of posture, he seemed to be able to fall to the ground at any moment, but there was obviously nothing to stumble under his feet. It's just that before Mo Ye could figure it out, he heard Lin Shan's voice coming.
"I haven't been back for two days, so you're so idle?" Lin Shan's tone paused slightly, and then continued to say in an indifferent tone: "A horse has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and there is no need to be so pampered, but if you don't know how serious it is, you won't have a little consciousness?" ”
"Master" Lin Shan's tone did not have a trace of anger, it was extremely light, but Mo Ye still felt inexplicably aggrieved in his heart when he heard such words. She didn't know how to answer, so she could only scream in a somewhat heavy tone.
Li Shi, who was still busy in the kitchen at this time, had already heard Lin Shan's voice, and saw her wiping her hands on her apron, and walked over and said with a smile: "You are all back." ”
A very gentle word, just like usual, greeted the two who went home. It's just that when Li Shi saw Ma An, who was walking a little staggering, and his eyes that were shaking wildly, her expression suddenly became stern.
Approaching Ma An in just a few steps, Li Shi took a deep breath, and then shouted, "You actually drink? Still drunk? ”
Lai's roar is simply Ma'an's most effective decanting soup.
Ma An saw the anger on Li Shi's face clearly, and his heart was agitated, and he was half dizzy. But although his consciousness woke up a little, his body still shook a little uncontrollably, and he finally tried to stand up straight, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Eldest sister, he didn't pull me to drink, I refused at first." ”
Li Shi stretched out his hand and slapped Ma An's spurting out of the wine, frowned, and said, "What are you arguing about?" You're the only one who gets drunk like this! ”
Ma An noticed Li Shi's movements, and hurriedly raised his hand to block his mouth with his sleeve, and then said angrily: "Didn't I listen to your instructions and want to persuade him to come back earlier?" If I don't drink with him, I won't come back. ”
Hearing this, Li Shi glanced at Lin Shan, and asked with a stern expression, "How much have you drunk?" ”
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Not much. ”
At this time, Ma An interjected: "Of course he didn't drink much, because he drank all his wine." ”
Li Shi smacked him on the forehead with his backhand and scolded: "You still have a face, I will punish you later." ”
"Punishment, isn't it just for me to wash the dishes?" Ma An's strength was not finished yet, and his mind was already chaotic, but at this time, he was hit by Li Shi again, and he suddenly became confused. Seeing him rubbing his forehead with a disapproving expression, he pouted and said: "But I don't think what I did yesterday was wrong, I rushed to drink his wine, not because I was afraid that he would get drunk and hurt himself." ”
Li Shi remembered Lin Shan's nosebleed that night, frowned, looked at Lin Shan and said with some concern: "I also know that you are upset now, you have to drink." But if you are already unwell, you have to stop drinking for at least a few days, how can you still drink like this? ”
"I originally listened to his advice, but on the way back yesterday, I met a friend from the academy." Lin Shan said with a slightly apologetic expression: "I already owe him a few drinks." When I met him yesterday, he knew that I had taken a leave of absence and that I was fine, so he was introduced into the tavern for a few words. Later, when he became addicted to alcohol, he asked for some wine, and after a few glasses, he was so energetic that he simply returned all the few drinks he owed. ”
"Yes, yes, make a good drink, that person is much better than me." Ma An also thought about it, and hurriedly said, "What's that person's name, it's Chai Yan!" Yesterday, I finally tried to persuade my eldest brother not to drink, but he was confused by a few words. Eldest sister, the main culpability this time is not mine, if you don't believe it, you can ask, that Chai Yan is also the gentleman of Lizheng Academy. ”
Li Shi had to sigh when he heard this. At home, she can control the two of them's alcohol addiction, but outside she can't. However, these two people have always been very conscious, although they usually drink alcohol, they don't need to worry too much about the amount control, at least they are not as drunk as they are today.
Although she knew that it was because of the events of that night, Lin Shan was in a bad mood and wanted to use alcohol to kill her sorrows. In fact, in the early years, when the young lady was still there, she also tried to accompany the young lady to drink, but after these experiences, she felt more and more confused.
The hot drink washes over the stomach and intestines, and it is not a very comfortable feeling. And when you wake up, you will feel dry mouth and splitting headache, but the sorrow in your heart will still be remembered after you wake up, and the trouble to be solved has to be solved step by step. The process is like this, how can alcoholism be dissipated?
"In the past few days, Ye'er has been worried about you, so don't blame her too much." Li Shi only had this sentence, and there was no other nagging, and then he grabbed Ma An's sleeve, led Ma An, who was not very steady, and half-dragged him to the kitchen to sober up.
Lin Shan watched Li Shi leave, the smile on his face slowly fell, and then he said indifferently to Mo Ye, who was standing aside and had been speechless: "Follow me to the study." ”
"Yes."
Mo Ye followed Lin Shan anxiously and came to the study.
Standing in this room where she wanted to sneak in and steal books several times ago, Mo Ye's heart slowly rose a little panicked. She stood by the door of the study a few steps away from the desk in an orderly manner, Lin Shan didn't speak, and she didn't dare to speak first.
Lin Shan approached the bookshelf, stretched out his hand to brush the books that had been neatly arranged on the shelf, and then turned his head to look at Mo Ye. Noticing the obviously abnormal look on her face, he said slowly, "What are you nervous about?" ”
Mo Ye calmed down for a moment before he replied, "I've caused a big disaster. ”
"Even if it hadn't happened that night, you'd be so nervous about me now standing in this study." Lin Shan continued with a solemn face: "As early as a few days ago, I found out that you had a strange omen, but I never doubted you about this, so I didn't ask you what you wanted to do when you often stood at the door of my study and didn't go in. Later, I listened to the Chai Fuzi in the Library Pavilion, you often read the few medicine books in the Pavilion in those days, why is this? What can you do now that you can't come out? ”
"I" Mo Ye only said one word, and did not continue. At this time, she just silently continued in her heart: It's because even if I come out, you will hide it, so I will hide it from you.
Seeing that Mo Ye was still silent, Lin Shan sighed softly and said, "Ye'er, in the future, you need to understand that the family can't hide any secrets. ”
When Mo Ye heard this, he finally couldn't help it, and plucked up the courage to say loudly: "If you hide it from me first, I will hide it from you!" ”
Lin Shan was stunned when he heard this.
Mo Ye was afraid that as soon as the master spoke, she would be timid and dare not continue, so while the master had not spoken, she hurriedly continued: "I just want to analyze what the medicine I am taking. I went to look for Yan Xingzhi of Shanshui Academy, but I didn't find the results, so I thought of the booklet left by that grandfather. ”
"So you're doing this." Lin Shan's face showed a sudden expression, and then he said in a solemn tone: "Ye'er, didn't I sue you, I will sue you at the right time in the future for these things?" Why should you be in such a hurry to know this? You don't understand, and now if you do, it's only adding to your troubles, because you don't have enough power to solve them
