Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hand-to-Hand
It was rare to take a break, Lin Yuan was holding the cat in the yard at noon this day. Cai Quan ran into the yard in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan looked at Cai Quan and asked.
Cai Quan took a breath, and then said, "Grandpa, someone is here in the palace." ”
Lin Yuan frowned, there has been nothing going on recently, what are you doing in the palace? was about to get up, but heard Cai Quan say: "Grandpa, it was the palace lady who sent Her Royal Highness the princess over." ”
"Xun'er is here?" Lin Yuan was overjoyed, he hadn't seen Li Xun for a while.
Cai Quan nodded, and as soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the courtyard: "Uncle! ”
Lin Yuan got up and looked at Li Xun who was trotting over with a smile, and Gonggong Yang followed closely behind, his face full of worry, for fear that Li Xun would fall.
picked up Li Xun, who ran over, and in his giggles, hugged and spun around. Weighing Li Xun in his arms, he scratched Qiong's nose and said with a smile: "It's a lot heavier, and I've become a little chubby girl." ”
Li Xun pretended to be angry and patted Lin Yuan, only then did he notice the kitten at Lin Yuan's feet, his eyes instantly glowed, and he had never seen this kind of creature in the palace. struggled to get out of Lin Yuan's arms, and carefully squatted in front of the kitten. I saw the cat duck back a little and barked quietly.
"Uncle, what is this?" Li Xun has never seen a cat.
"It's a cat, but it's small." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
Seeing that the kitten didn't recognize it, but licked Li Xun's little hand, the itchy feeling made Li Xun giggle, and after looking at it, Lin Yuan looked at Yang Gonggong.
"When will the princess come?"
"I'll leave tomorrow, I've been making noise to see you these days, and my mother will approve it for a day." Yang Gonggong said.
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's good." It seems that Li Xun can stay with him for a day. Prepare some food in the evening.
Until dinner in the evening, Li Xun still held the kitten and didn't let go, Lin Yuan persuaded it a few times to no avail, so he had to give up, seeing that Li Xun didn't eat well, he only cared about teasing the kitten in his arms. Lin Yuan put down the bowl and said, "Okay, it's been a day." The cat can't even open its eyes. ”
To say that this cat is also a long face for Lin Yuan, since Li Xun came, they have been playing together, and they have not broken it halfway, until now they are still teasing Li Xun with their tails, and their temper is so good that Lin Yuan once thought that this was a fake cat. Please, you're a cat, what about your pride?
Li Xun also seemed to have found that he was indeed a little excessive, reluctantly put the cat on the chair next to him, picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, but his eyes were still looking at the cat.
Lin Yuan sighed helplessly when he saw this, he was really in trouble. Until he went to bed at night, Li Xun still brought the cat into his room, saying that he wanted to sleep with the cat, Lin Yuan felt that his cat was going to be unsafe.
The next day, the palace sent someone to pick up Li Xun back to the palace, to Lin Yuan's surprise, although Li Xun was still a little reluctant to the cat, he did not open his mouth to Lin Yuan to ask for it, but just turned around and said goodbye to the cat in Lin Yuan's arms step by step.
"Uncle, you promised Xun'er, will you take the kitten with you next time you enter the palace?" Li Xun looked at Lin Yuan with watery eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Yuan is really hard to refuse, but how to take a cat into the palace? Lin Yuan didn't think much about it, so he nodded. Seeing Lin Yuan agree, Li Xun clapped his hands happily.
After sending Li Xun away, Lin Yuan was just about to go back to the house, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a voice behind him, "Humble Fu Qiuxue has seen Grandpa." ”
Lin Yuan turned around and saw Fu Qiuxue, who was dressed in white, standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What?" The official office of the town government department is not comfortable to wear? ”
Grandpa laughed. It's just too ostentatious. Fu Qiuxue said.
Lin Yuan pursed his lips, with your face, wearing such a dress is much more swaggering than that official body.
"Come in." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the mansion.
Fu Qiuxue looked at it and walked in, this is the second time she has come to the Yasukuni Mansion, but unlike last time, this time she walked in openly.
"What's going on in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Back to my grandfather, Lord Liu has continued the decree of the previous lord there in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and has been attacking various families in a high-pressure state, and he has gained a lot during this time." Fu Qiuxue said.
Lin Yuan frowned, it's not a good thing to be like this all the time, as the saying goes, it's better than it is, Liu Ren has been an official for many years, so he should understand this truth. asked, "Before you leave, has Lord Liu changed?" ”
Fu Qiuxue thought for a while and said, "When I went north, Lord Liu talked to Lord Shen once, and then I went to Jiaozhou. ”
"Jiaozhou? What is he doing there? Lin Yuan said curiously.
Fu Qiuxue shook his head, he didn't know this. Seeing this, Lin Yuan didn't ask, took Fu Qiuxue to the study, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Do you know why I borrowed you from Liu Qingshui this time?" ”
"I don't know."
"I'm going to Yuzhou after spring." After speaking, Lin Yuan glanced at Fu Qiuxue's expression, and saw a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, and secretly said that there was indeed a story.
"But at the disposal of my grandfather." Fu Qiuxue said.
"I heard that you were rescued by Liu Qingshui in Yuzhou, are you from Yuzhou?" Lin Yuan asked.
Fu Qiuxue shook her head and said, "I am from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I said that Yuzhou was just being coerced in the Yuzhou refugee team at that time." ”
Lin Yuan didn't dig deeper, everyone has their own past that they don't want to reveal, since Fu Qiuxue doesn't want to say it, he can't force it, I believe that one day he will say it.
"Then you should be mentally prepared first, after the year, I will let you go to Yuzhou first, assist one person to do something in Yuzhou, and help me collect some intelligence in Yuzhou by the way." Lin Yuan commanded.
"Yes, Grandpa."
"You go back first, I'll send someone to find you if there's something." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he ignored Fu Qiuxue, seeing this, Fu Qiuxue bowed and left the study.
Lin Yuan cleaned up, then got up and walked towards the library, saying that the books from his family collection were also famous in the capital, but he didn't read them well. If I have time today, go find a few books to read.
I just came to the study building, and I saw that there was no one to guard it, and I wondered, it is said that this building is also a heavy place in the house, not to mention whether there are thieves to steal, but in case of water, how can there be time to rescue.
Shaking his head and walking into the study building, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, a unique ink fragrance of books made Lin Yuan very comfortable, slowly walked to the bookshelf, and looked up at the name of the book.
""Northern Han Dynasty Records" and "Spring and Autumn Policies", it seems that this layer is a history book." I turned around and found that the bookshelves were full of historical records from the previous dynasty or earlier. Lin Yuan lost interest and slowly walked towards the second floor.
The books on the second floor are much better, and they are a classic subset of various anthologies and some Confucian commentaries. Lin Yuan picked a few books and stood there flipping through them. Just as I was fascinated by it, suddenly there was a gust of wind behind me. Lin Yuan subconsciously retreated sideways, moving quickly, not only making the attacker sigh lightly, but even Lin Yuan himself was startled, what was wrong with him.
Pan Yu looked at Lin Yuan with some curiosity, no outsiders have ever come into this Lin family library, but recently he has come to the second person he doesn't know, and his skills are not bad.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was still standing there in a daze, Pan Yu turned his palm into a finger and pointed at Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan was in shock, seeing the old man attacking him, one turned sideways, and forced the man back with a fist, before he had time to think about it, a roundabout kick towards the old man, but he turned around and pointed at his calf, and he felt a burst of soreness in just a moment.
"Good skills." Pan Yu looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.
Lin Yuan frowned and looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it on my Yasukuni Mansion? "Lin Yuan really hasn't seen this old man, and it stands to reason that he can't be unclear about his skills.
"Your house?" Pan Yu glanced at Lin Yuan, only to find that Lin Yuan was somewhat similar to Lin Tao, who had passed away, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lin Tao's child, and it seems that he hasn't stayed in the north for all these years." ”
"You haven't answered my question yet." Lin Yuan said coldly, moved his legs, he had recovered, it seems that this body still has a good martial arts left for himself, and he has discovered it for so long.
"The old man was invited by your father, and even your father respects the old man, what is your attitude?" Pan Yu looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.
"What evidence do you have?" Lin Yuan asked rhetorically.
Pan Yu was stunned for a moment, this is not true, he lost the bet and stayed in the Yasukuni Mansion, Lin Tao did not sign any agreement for himself, seeing that Lin Yuan had plans to make a move, he sneered: "Don't be in a hurry to do it first, if you don't believe it, ask Lin Guangyuan to go." ”
Lin Yuan stopped his movements, a little hesitant, it seemed that this person didn't look like he was lying to himself. Seeing Lin Yuan withdraw, Pan Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The old man won't lie to you, I have a lot of money in the Yasukuni Mansion, after all, your father offended a lot of people back then, and the wealthy family is not so easy to get along with." ”
"Who will be detrimental to my Yasukuni Mansion?" Lin Yuan frowned.
"That's a lot, not to mention the territory of this big Zhou, seven out of ten families want your Lin family to be finished, you go out and fight one by one, and there is basically no accidental injury." The old man said.
The corners of Lin Yuan's eyes twitched wildly, is this a human word: "Then my Lin family is the enemy of the whole world?" ”
"That's right, at least a few of the families in Nanliang really want your Lin family to finish." The old man took out a book from the bookshelf and said.
Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "Then what are you mainly doing in my mansion?" ”
Pan Yu glanced at Lin Yuan and said lightly: "The old man was the first swordsman in the studio back then, Pan Yu. This river and lake also has a bit of prestige, so it is natural to prevent some people and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry and using some unseemly means to deal with your Lin family. ”
Lin Yuan thought for a while and saluted Pan Yu: "Thank you." ”
Pan Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are good, and you are safe to protect yourself, but you still have to exercise your body skills." I heard that the photo studio has been taken over by the imperial court, and the old man has thanked you here. ”
"Master Pan doesn't hate the boy?"
"What do you hate?"
"After all, the kid has incorporated the photo studio, and there will be no more photo studios in this world from now on." Lin Yuan said.
Pan Yu paused, shook his head and smiled: "The old man is just thinking about a little incense, if it weren't for this, then you still need to do it, the photo studio would have been destroyed by the old man." ”
When Wu Jie led the army to encircle and suppress the photo studio, he didn't make a move at all, but avoided the army to travel, and the photo studio is now the best ending he expected. So he didn't have any pretensions.
Lin Yuan bowed to Pan Yu and turned to leave the study building. He was a little curious about what kind of man his father was, and what he left for him.
