Lin Aqi took the initiative to run to check out, and happened to meet Liu Fugui, who had not gone far.

Liu Fugui stood at the door of the restaurant with his teeth picked, squinting at the signboard of the restaurant, and seemed to see people clearly for a while, and then ran into the inn.

"Are you Lin Archie? It's been a long time since I've seen you! ”

"Yes, it's been a while." Lin Aqi took out the money from his pocket, "A total of eighty wen, all here." ”

"Eighty Wen?" Liu Fugui glared and looked, "How many dishes are so expensive?" ”

Lin Shaxiang stepped forward with a smile and took Liu Fugui with one hand: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the girl has money, she just pays." ”

Liu Fugui was disdainful: "My Liu Ren is about to marry a daughter-in-law, remember to pack a big red envelope to come to the door to eat wine another day." ”

"Good, good."

"Liu Ren is going to marry a daughter-in-law? Who is it? ”

Lin Aqi jumped up to the master and asked with interest.

"Of course it's my beautiful and virtuous niece Ah Xiu!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Aqi again, he didn't look down on this Lin Aqi anyway, isn't the money of the master and the mother also the money of the adult? It's a shame that Lin Shaxiang is so generous, and she can use it casually.

If her son Liu Ren likes her wholeheartedly and asks her to be a daughter-in-law in the Liu family, I don't know how the family was defeated by her!

Hmph –

Liu Fugui said goodbye, threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Lin Shaxiang's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the direction where Liu Fugui left, with a light smile on his expression: "Archie, I'm going to the stall, you and your good friends go to play." ”

Lin Aqi nodded, and after sending him to the second child to sit down, the three of them discussed where to play.

"Why don't you go to Qixiang Village to see the old man?" Lin Aqi tilted his head and thought about it, it happened that Qi Feng received a letter from outside, and he was going to do something, so Yunqi agreed to this proposal.

After the three of them returned to the house to lead the horses and send Qi out of the village, Lin Aqi and Yunqi went to the pastry shop to buy a lot of soft pastries and pasta, and went to the tailor shop to buy a few old people to wear winter clothes.

After shopping, he rode a horse to Zou Chu's house.

Compared with the desertion of Zou Chu's house in autumn, Qixiang Village is slightly winter at this moment, the temperature is low, and even the bluestone slabs are full of chills.

There were still fallen leaves on the eaves, and one or two dead branches fell on Lin Aqi's small cloak, Yun Qi's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to brush it for her.

"Knock on the door." Lin Archie smiled, stepped forward and knocked lightly twice.

"Is the old gentleman at home? We're here to see you! ”

Lin Aqi knocked for a while, and an old man who was still neatly dressed and washed a little white from the old fabric poked his head out, and when he saw the two people at the door, a pair of cloudy eyes lit up a little in vain.

"Is that you? Meet the Lord—"

"Excuse me, sir." Yunqi held the old man's gesture of giving a salute, let Lin Aqi enter the house, and then followed with his footsteps, "In the people, they don't pay attention to those false etiquette, and the old man can treat me as an ordinary person." ”

Zou Chu smiled indifferently: "Okay, well, the prince is not particular, and the old man is inconvenient to be careful." ”

Lin Aqi led the horse to the courtyard, the shiny horse roared and trembled, and Lin Aqi smiled and pulled its hair.

"Be nice, I'll take something delicious." Removing pastries and other things from the horse's back and placing them on the table one by one, she looked at the shabby thin winter coat worn by the old man, and was quite unhappy.

I don't know how Qixiang Village treats the elderly well, and every winter in Xilin Village, their own township pools money to tailor winter clothes for the elderly over 50 years old.

Why doesn't Qixiang Village have this tradition?

"Sir, try on the clothes to see if they fit, and if they don't fit, you can change them." Lin Aqi held a men's cotton coat, which could be seen from the delicate neckline, which was an unusual coat.

Zou Chu thanked him again and again but refused to accept it: "I accepted the two of you's intentions, but it was useless, how could the old man accept things outside his body plainly?" ”

It's-

Lin Aqi sat down at the table and poured himself and Qi a glass of water: "The old gentleman's words are wrong. If you teach the children of Qixiang Village to read and learn characters for free, it is already a blessing for Qixiang Village, if the children spend money to go to school, which family will not pay more for rice and grain? ”

Zou Chu smiled: "What's the matter?" It's just that when I'm old, I have nothing to do, and I am in one place with my children, and I have more fun and happiness. ”

Lin Aqi's eyes blinked, and he was a little clever: "But the prince and I don't think like this!" You teach to the children but don't charge a penny, this is something that many private schools can't do, and the prince is rewarding you for your contribution to the country. ”

Yunqi almost squirted tea in his mouth, what does it contribute to the country? How could he have said that? However, this step is also very convenient for Zou Chu to go down, after all, he has indeed contributed a lot to educating children.

"As Archie said, I have this intention, the old gentleman still don't refuse, if he refuses to accept this little bit of thought, I will think that it is caused by my lack of sincerity."

Zou Chu hurriedly clenched his fists: "The prince is serious, you can come to visit in person, I am really sorry and uneasy." If you don't do great things, how can you make great profits? ”

Lin Aqi drank a cup of tea, then wiped the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Children read and learn words, they will have knowledge and culture in the future, whether they grow up to enter the hall or be ordinary people, they will always recognize a few words, and they will not be easily coaxed." Isn't that what is righteousness? Children will also grow up and become adults, and the old gentleman will teach them the truth, which is a great creation. ”

Although what she said was not esoteric, it was precisely the simple words that revealed her recognition of the old gentleman's actions.

Zou Chu was very useful when he heard it, and his heart also showed a slight sense of pride.

"Yes, I think back then, there was a general who didn't know a word to lead his troops to fight, but because he misrecognized a word, he led his soldiers to the opposite city, which led to defeat, and my Yungu Kingdom had to cede the city and give up the land, and the general was also ordered to be executed by the emperor, and he died a very aggrieved death."

He sighed deeply as he spoke.

"If you are literate, how can some culture end up like this?"

Lin Aqi smiled: "So what you have done is a great thing!" It's winter, and buying you something is also the prince's praise for you, right? ”

The girl raised an eyebrow at him, and her almond eyes were full of cunning.

The corners of Yun Qi's mouth curled: "Yes, this is exactly what this king meant." ”

Zou Chu happily and relieved to take the things, and the two chatted with the old man for a while, and then rode to the direction of the Lin family when they saw that it was not too early.

"Yunqi, if it hadn't happened to General Lin, wouldn't you have appeared here?"

Yun in front of him stiffened, and turned his head slightly to look at her: "Why do you say that?" ”

Lin Aqi's mind is sometimes very novel, and she must have noticed something when she suddenly asked such a question.

Lin Aqi shook his head: "Because when you came back and mentioned General Lin's matter, you looked very unhappy." ”

She looked at the heavy sky, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but press down: "You also asked Mr. Zou Chu about General Lin, which shows that you care about him very much." ”

Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, she didn't expect to go deeper.

"General Lin is a national hero, I have respected him since I was a child, and it is reasonable to inquire about his old affairs."

The small hand that grabbed his robe tightened: "But General Lin Qianliao committed it-" She looked around nervously, lowered her voice and said to Yunqi, "I was killed by the order of the emperor for the crime of treason." Aren't you afraid that the current emperor will know that you inquired about him, and then get angry and punish you? ”

Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard her ask such a question, Yunqi's heart was still tight, and he was a little bitter and didn't know how to answer.

"What's so terrible about punishment? The most terrible thing should be the hesitation of knowing that there is hope, and the endless repentance after missing the opportunity. ”

That's the endless horror, from the soles of the feet to the scalp, the pain in the heart can't hide the regret and despair.

Lin Aqi was a little confused: "What's the matter?" Repentance is due to not being done? That's really uncomfortable. But I have never met it, Master and Master are all people who keep their word, and they have fulfilled everything they promised me, and they have never broken their promises. ”

The girl twisted her ass and found a more comfortable position on horseback.

"Although I often cheated on my master and mother, they didn't really ask me to repent. Hehe, so you can be like me, look at the point, isn't it just that you haven't done something, children have the right to be willful! ”

Yunqi jerked back the reins, and the horse slowly stopped.

"Little children?"

A cheerful voice behind him rang out, "That's right! It's just a child, you should have been about the same age as me when you met General Lin Qianliao, right? Even if you're a few years older, it's not that big. So even if you didn't do anything at that time and are still sad now, after all, you are also a child, and children don't have to blame themselves too much. ”

Children have the right to repent, and children don't have to blame themselves too much......

These words are just like what the man said before, and they are even more detailed and lovely.

"Who the hell are you?" Yunqi jumped off the horse and stood on the ground, although he looked up at her slightly, but the meaning of his gaze made Lin Archie have the illusion that he was looking down on him.

This feeling is very bad, Lin Archie sat up straight, and looked at the person on the ground with a fool-like look: "I can't change my name or change my surname, Lin Archie is also!" ”

An idea popped up in Yunqi's mind.

General Lin Qianliao's daughter was only two years old when she disappeared, Lin Aqi is twelve years old this year, calculate the time, could it be-

"My master gave me this name when he accepted me as an apprentice, you don't want to give me a nickname, I will never respond!"

"When did your master take you as an apprentice?" Yunqi's voice was cold, and the words he said could not be ignored.

Lin Aqi felt inexplicable: "Then how do I know, I have been calling him master since I can remember, is it possible that you want to choose a cheap one to be my junior brother?" ”

Yun Qi raised his forehead: "Forget it, I'll ask myself." ”

"Hey, Master won't tell you."

Yun Qi pulled the reins: "Why?" ”

"There is a secret number for accepting apprentices into the spectrum to learn the arts, who will take out their own secrets and talk about them everywhere?"

Master and Mrs. have never shown such a good apprentice as her in front of outsiders, this cloud thief, who knows what the hell he has to do? It's better to scare him first.
