Chapter 411: The human heart is unpredictable
At the end of February, there were many more students on the streets of Hangzhou, and the day of the imperial examination was getting closer and closer, and they all gathered in Hangzhou from all over the world.
While the other students were reciting the Four Books and the Five Classics, Zhu Ji was also carrying the charts at home.
However, there was an unpleasant thing that made him a little calm, about Shi Chongxin.
The other party did not meet with him as agreed.
Moreover, he also heard the news that a person named Shi Chongxin was named the Marquis of the Forbidden Army by the Lord of Wu, and it was inferred from all sides that this Shi Chongxin should be the same person as Shi Chongxin he knew.
The other party came to Hangzhou, but left the agreement behind. At the beginning, the two made an appointment to meet in Hangzhou Jiangnan Pavilion, but Zhu Jiyi went for three days in a row, but he still didn't wait for the other party, which made him very annoyed.
Zhu Ji believes that the other party disdains to intersect with him again because of the change in identity.
He was arrogant, he would never wag his tail and beg for mercy from Shi Chongxin, since the other party didn't look down on him, he shouldn't know this person.
In addition, Zhu Ji recently discovered one thing, his father Zhu Quan suddenly became mysterious and secretive, and often went out for several days.
There are also some more guests in the house, basically all of them are five big and three rough people, Zhu Ji suspects that they are his father's old subordinates.
He also asked Zhu Quan about this, but Zhu Quan only told him to memorize the chart, let him go to sea with him, and see the terrain in the chart for himself, in addition, he also got a sand table for him. As for other things, let him leave nothing alone.
Although Zhu Ji was full of doubts, he was not stupid, and vaguely guessed that his father was making arrangements for his future.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Young master, there is a person named Lin Shu outside who wants to see you." It was the butler who knocked on the door.
"Brother Lin is here!" Zhu Ji bounced up from his chair and ran quickly towards the door.
Stepping out of the door, Lin Shu's majestic figure appeared in the field of vision.
"Brother Lin! You're finally here! Zhu Jire Qi ng said.
Lin Shu laughed: "I heard about Brother Shi, it's really unseemly, I didn't expect him to become the Marquis of the forbidden army in a blink of an eye, I came from Lin'an this time, I came to join him!" ”
"Oh." Zhu Ji cooled down.
"Brother Zhu, what's wrong? Am I saying something wrong? ”
"No, Brother Lin wants to look for him, he now lives in Daming Street in the south of the city, and King Wu gave him a big mansion."
"Won't Brother Zhu go with me? To tell you the truth, I came to you just to go with you. Lin Shu invited with a smile.
"I'm not going."
Lin Shu's face sank: "Brother Zhu, don't you look down on me Lin?" ”
"Brother Lin, don't get me wrong, I'm glad you came to me, but I really don't want to go to him."
"Did something happen to you?"
Zhu Ji was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother Lin should remember that Shi Chongxin and I made an appointment to meet in Hangzhou, right?" ”
"Of course, yes."
"He didn't come."
"Hey, what a big deal I should be, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, let's go, let's go to Brother Shi and ask for clarification!"
"I'm not going." Zhu Ji's face turned pale.
Lin Shu scratched his head: "There must be a misunderstanding in this matter, for no reason, how could Brother Shi break the appointment with you?" ”
"Maybe he knows I'm the son of a pirate, so he looks down on me."
"You're the son of a pirate?" Lin Shu was a little shocked.
"What's the matter, Brother Lin also looks down on him?" Zhu Ji's voice turned cold.
"Bastard, am I that kind of person?" Lin Shu was furious.
Zhu Ji's face softened: "Brother Lin, you better hurry up, don't worry about me." ”
"What is this called?" Lin Shu waved his hand: "You wait here, I'll go to Brother Shi and ask for clarification!" ”
With that, he strode out of the Zhu Mansion. Zhu Ji looked at his departing back, his lips moved slightly.
Shifu.
In the back garden, Lu Yuan walked in front, looked at the scenery in the garden, and said, "Chongxin, are you still used to living here?" ”
"It's very good." Shi Chongxin, who followed behind him, said.
"Ugh." Lu Yuan walked into a pavilion and sighed: "If Mr. hadn't helped me in She County, maybe I wouldn't have been able to fight the four major chambers of commerce, let alone today." ”
Shi Chongxin silently lowered his head and did not have an interface.
Lu Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "Chongxin, Mr. highly admires your water warfare ability in the letter, it just so happens that I plan to form a water army in the forbidden army, and there is a lack of a commander, I want you to serve as one, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Your Excellency can rest assured, the minister will definitely train an invincible sailor for your lord."
At this moment, Hou Kaishan interjected: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu Niangniang has been exploring the talent of the navy recently, and she seems to have found a candidate." ”
Lu Yuan laughed: "That's okay, Chongxin, when the time comes, you will compete with the person found by the concubine, just take this opportunity to show your ability, and others will convince you." ”
"Minister...... Obey the order. Shi Chongxin replied a little flustered.
At this moment, the steward of Shifu walked over quickly, and after saluting Lu Yuan, the butler spoke: "Master, there is a man named Lin Shu outside who asks to see him. ”
"Nope."
The housekeeper took the order, Lu Yuan was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask more.
Soon the butler returned.
"Master, the man refused to leave, saying that he insisted on seeing you."
"Waste, you can't do that." Shi Chongxin was furious: "Then let people blow him away!" ”
At this moment, he noticed Lu Yuan staring at him, and hurriedly laughed: "Your Majesty, do you know that since the minister became the Marquis of Duyu, there are some people he doesn't know who come to the mansion to fight the autumn breeze all day long, and the minister is very annoyed by them, there is really no way." ”
"You better go and take a look, maybe someone else really has something to do with you, I'll go back to the palace first." The smile on Lu Yuan's face had disappeared.
"Congratulations to the king."
After Lu Yuan left the house, he saw an extremely majestic man at the gate, presumably Lin Shu. After all, this was Shi Chongxin's private matter, he didn't care too much, and returned to the palace under the escort of the forbidden army.
Not long after his carriage left, the steward of Shifu followed.
"See, that is His Royal Highness King Wu, my lord was talking to His Royal Highness just now." The butler pointed to the carriage in the distance.
"Then His Royal Highness King Wu has already left, he can always see me, right?" Lin Shu suppressed his temper and said.
"I say, why are you such a pariah, so uninteresting? My lord won't see you, and I want to climb to the sky in one step? Dream your dreams! The butler scoffed.
said and waved his hand: "Come on, blow him away for me!" ”
Lin Shu was furious and roared at the gate: "Shi Chongxin, you bastard, Lao Tzu is blind, so he will ...... with you."
Before he could finish speaking, he received a blow on the shoulder, followed by another blow to his head.
Lin Shu roared angrily, raised his arm to meet it, and under the two blows, the wooden stick was broken into two.
The top section was in the air for a few heels, and it happened to fall on the head of the steward of Shifu, he screamed in pain and shouted: "Quick, go and call the official!" ”
Lin Shu didn't dare to stay for a long time, and rushed towards Zhu Ji's house.
When he came to the outside of the Zhu Mansion, he knocked on the door and reported to the housekeeper who opened the door.
Soon, Zhu Jiying came out.
"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" Finding that Lin Shu's face was ugly, Zhu Ji asked in surprise.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you, I'm going back to Lin'an, and I'll see you again in the future."
Leaving such a sentence, Lin Shu turned around and was about to leave.
Zhu Ji stopped in front of him with a stride: "Brother Lin, it's getting late, why don't you rest at my house for one night before leaving." ”
Lin Shu looked up at the sky and sighed, "Then it's bothering." ”
Lin Shu was brought into his living room by Zhu Ji, and as soon as he sat down, he spoke: "Brother Zhu, do you have any wine?" ”
"Yes."
Zhu Ji walked out of the house, and after a while, he came in with a bottle of wine in his left hand and two cups in his right hand.
Lin Shu took the cup, poured a cup for himself and Zhu Ji, and took a sip.
Zhu Ji didn't say much, he drank quietly with him, the two of you have a drink, I have a cup, and after a while, they were a little drunk.
Lin Shu drank another glass and smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, this time I came to Hangzhou, I was originally going to do a great career with you and Brother Shi, who knew that people's hearts were so unpredictable." ”
"Did Shi Chongxin say anything to you?" Zhu Ji asked in a deep voice.
"No, he didn't see me at all, and he had people away." Lin Shu looked at the wine glass, looking extremely lonely.
"This time is different from the past, he is now the Marquis of the forbidden army, and his friends are all powerful people in the dynasty, so he naturally doesn't want to deal with us." Zhu Ji sneered.
"Do you mean that what he said that night was a lie?"
"I hate to believe it, but that's what it is."
"Fuck it, the power is really so powerful, it can change a person in a few days?" Lin Shu hammered the table hard.
"It also depends on who it is, we can only say that we have all misjudged him before."
"But I finally got to know you as a friend, come, let's drink, don't mention him!"
