It's not too late, and the bustling area of the capital is lively.

In the southwest of the capital, a certain area sank into silence as soon as it was dark.

In this area, there is a small two-story building hidden in the trees. From the outside, the building is a few years old, and the overall color appears dull. Compared with some ordinary buildings in the capital, there seems to be nothing special about it.

However, when you walk along the fence to the iron gate and enter the closed courtyard, you can find that there is a different world. The landscape inside is very different from that of ordinary wealthy families. On each side of the entrance is a tall locust tree with a thick trunk. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted on the side of the wall of the garden, but now that it's winter, there are no flowers in sight. There are several pomegranate trees planted in front of the small building, and there is a dry pomegranate remaining on one of the very tall branches.

A large green brick paved path leads from the gate to the front of the small building.

In the courtyard on the right, there is a large grape trellis, which has lost its summer greenery, and only the bare and crooked branches are coiled. Under the grape trellis there is a large bluestone round table, on which there is also a book forgotten by the owner. There are several stone benches scattered around, and the carving of the stone benches is ancient and simple.

On the left side of the lawn is a small black car, with only a vague outline in the night, and it is easy to ignore the past at night without looking closely.

Next to the small building is a row of bungalows. Although it is a bungalow, this kind of bungalow is different from the bungalow of the people in the suburbs outside. Green tiles and green bricks, neat and uniform. All inlaid with clean and bright glass windows. Several of the bungalows were lit with orange lights, and light came through the glass windows. Blurred reflection on the ground.

From the scene of this courtyard, it can be seen that the identity of the owner is not ordinary.

The moon that was not round enough hung in the sky, and a faint cold light sprinkled down.

In the yard at night. There was no voice, only a cold wind swept by, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet. The lights on the first and second floors of the small building were on, and the sound of TV programs faintly came from the first floor.

The silence was not broken until the arrival of a small car outside the door. A person got out of the car and gently tapped the iron ring of the iron gate, making a crisp tinkling sound. Soon a tall figure stepped out of the bungalow. When you get to the door. He turned on a doorlight, saw the person standing outside, and nodded in response. before opening the iron door.

The car slowly drove into the yard, and the glare of the headlights cut through the darkness and stopped next to the black car. After the people in the car got out of the car, they walked quickly into the small building.

As soon as you enter the door. I feel that there is a big difference in temperature between the inside and outside. Outside, the wind was howling. Inside is as warm as spring. There was a charcoal basin in both corners of the room, and the charcoal fire inside still glowed faintly red.

The person sitting on the sofa had already jumped up and arrived at Lin Kuan's side, one hand was already holding Lin Kuan's arm, and a crisp voice sounded "Ninth Brother".

It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who spoke, with a pretty face and big eyes that were very smart. The 'ninth brother' shouted by the girl is the ranking between the cousins of the Lin family.

Lin Kuan smiled and gently rubbed the girl's hair. Didn't speak. Take a few steps forward and bow slightly. Greeting a woman sitting in a proper manner, "Auntie".

The woman's complexion was fair, and her appearance was quite extraordinary, showing a graceful bearing. looked at Lin Kuan a few times, and a smile appeared on his face, "Kuan'er, why do you have time to come home today?" Isn't it fun to call you to the heavens? ”。 This is the wife of Uncle Lin Kuan, surnamed Jiang.

"That's it, Brother Jiu hasn't been here for a long time," the girl shook Lin Kuan's arm. Lin Kuan smiled and didn't answer, and the girl pulled Brother Jiu to sit down on the sofa.

Mrs. Lin smiled and shouted "Aunt Zhao" inside. Out of the back room came a woman in her forties with an ordinary face.

"Kuan'er, you don't like tea, then have a cup of coffee and sweeten it a little."

"I want it too," the girl said beside her.

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded at Lin Kuan, with a respectful look on her face. This is a staff that is trained to treat every visitor with respect. What's more, Lin Kuan is the dear nephew of the owner of this house.

The TV in the house was a large color TV, which didn't look very new, it had been around for a few years. In the early years, television sets were not allowed to be sold in stores, and even if they were sold, they were not affordable for any civilian. There is a TV, which means that the family has a high-ranking cadre. Of course, Lin Kuan's family also has it, which is not unusual. The classic old TV series "Wasted Years" is now playing on the TV. Just as the theme song sounded.

The years of youth are like a river,

The rivers of the years converge into a song.

A song,

A depressed song,

A song of sweat and tears,

Melancholy and depression are so much.

A song,

A perked song,

A song pursued in the years,

There are so many longings and yearnings

"Hey, isn't it pretty good!" Lin Kuan patiently watched it for a while, and was attracted by the performance inside. Make up your mind and find a way to get it when you go back.

"That's, I also want to learn from Du Jianchun," the girl said beside her. This kind of pure and noble love has deeply touched a generation.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Lin watched the TV series, and was still moved by the love between the protagonists Ke Bizhou and Du Jianchun just now, but when she heard her daughter say this, she immediately changed her position. If my daughter is like this, then what's the point?

"Why not?" The girl did not show weakness and defended herself with her mother. said that a good young man like Ke Bizhou is worth loving, and this kind of love is true love. What is it to suffer for love?

"Do you think you can be full of water?" Mrs. Lin wants to correct her daughter's point of view.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh" Lin Kuan sat in the middle, sandwiched between the two firepower nets, and coughed a few times.

"Okay, Kuan'er, you're looking for your uncle, you can go up," Mrs. Lin spoke. Lin Kuan waited for this sentence. It's not a matter of helping anyone. Helping my aunt, isn't it to erase love? Helping my sister, isn't it going to endure hardship?

went upstairs, Lin Kuan went straight to the study on the east side of the second floor, and when he knocked on the door, he shouted, "Fifth uncle, it's me, Xiaokuan"

"Come in," a voice came from inside.

In the room, a middle-aged man of medium stature, slightly chubby, and deep bearing was sitting upright at his desk. Seeing Lin Kuan coming in, he turned sideways slightly.

When he entered the house, Lin Kuan felt dizzy. Without him, the room was full of books. The desk in front of the middle-aged man was still stacked with neat materials. A pile of documents that he needed to review and sign.

"Uncle, busy" Lin Kuan had nothing to say.

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Kuan deeply, and smiled, "Xiao Kuan, uncle knows that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I am busy, if you have something to say, just say it." I'll listen. ”

Hehe, Lin Kuan knows his virtues. Tonight at Lao Mo's party, after discussing with Mingzi, I'm not interested in dancing or anything. Lin Kuan is a quick-tempered person to do things, so he came directly.

"No" After listening to Lin Kuan's words, the fifth uncle refused without hesitation, "Xiaokuan, uncle is about to talk about you, and is going to arrange for you to work in a certain department of the ministry." ”

"Uncle" Lin Kuan smiled bitterly, and played the family card at the moment. This fifth uncle has only two daughters, and Lin Kuan is flexible and deeply loved by these five uncles. This is also the reason why Lin Kuan dared to come to the door, and if his father had several other uncles, Lin Kuan would have fled a long time ago.

I heard Lin Kuan talk about his hair Xiaomingzi. On the fifth uncle's expressionless face, his eyebrows moved, but he was still noncommittal. Until Lin Kuan mentioned Brother Junzi.

"Ye Jianjun?" The fifth uncle spoke.

"Ah, it's Brother Jun" Lin Kuan responded.

Xiaokuan's proposals are not on the table, but when it comes to Ye Jianjun, it is not allowed for the fifth uncle not to pay attention to it. The rising star of the Ye family! He is also a rising star in the Chinese political arena.

The Ye family is one of the top families in Huaguo, and the Lin family is weaker than that. The relationship between the Lin family and the Ye family is excellent, and the Ye family is mainly used in political opinions. The fifth uncle's eyes are keen, and the Ye family put Ye Jianjun in Lingnan, far away from the capital, which is to train the successor of the next generation. What is rare is that Xiaokuan has followed Ye Jianjun since he was a child. No matter what the purpose of Xiao Kuan, being able to help Ye Jianjun with this intention is an emotional investment and a political investment in the long run.

The fifth uncle was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "Xiaokuan, I'll help you ask about this."
