When Lin He took Zhang Yuan back home, Lin Yu was already sitting in the courtyard neatly dressed, with light blue coarse linen, black cloth shoes, and neat hair tied up on his head. His face was calm, he sat like a green pine, read the book carefully with a book in his hand, and marked it with a brush placed next to him from time to time.

Hearing the movement at home, Lin Yu raised his head, and when he saw someone coming, he smiled faintly: "Zhang Yuan is here." ”

"I've seen you, sir." Zhang Yuan stepped forward and saluted.

"Well, there's no need to be polite." Lin Yu put down the book in his hand and asked, "How is Huainanzi memorized?" ”

"Nine times out of ten." Zhang Yuan took out "Huainanzi" from his arms and said respectfully.

Lin Yu asked, "What is the Spiritual Training?" ”

"In the past, the teacher played the white snow bosom friend, and the fetish fell for it......"

Zhang Yuan recited it almost without hesitation, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "What is the human training?" ”

"Pure and pleasant, human nature; The rules of the instrument and the system of things are also ......"

Lin Yu asked a few more places to recite, and Zhang Yuan answered them fluently, so Lin Yu praised: "You can recite "Huainanzi" on the tenth day, which shows that you are talented." ”

"The students are stupid, but Mr. Quan is well-taught." Zhang Yuan said modestly.

Lin Yu stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Zhang Yuan, let me ask you, do you know?" How many do you know? ”

Zhang Yuan knew that this was Lin Yu taking the exam, so he thought seriously for a while and responded: "Sir, the student only knows the number, but not the number. ”

"Oh? Why? Lin Yu asked.

"Students know that they can be weak or strong; It can be soft and rigid; It can be yin, it can be yang; It can be clear, it can be clear; It can wrap the heaven and the earth, and it can be treated without a party. That's why I know the number. However, the Tao is the source of heaven and earth, and the Tao cannot be heard, but it is not heard; The Tao is not visible, but not seen; The Tao is unspeakable, and words are not also, so Lao Tzu said: The world knows that what is good is good, and what is not good is also. Therefore, 'those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know'. ”

After listening to Zhang Yuan's answer, Lin Yu's eyes were full of surprise, and he sighed, "Talented and intelligent, and with excellent understanding, Zhang Yuan, it's a pity that you don't go to the academy." ”

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, "Sir, students study in the Xiangting Private School on weekdays. ”

Lin Yu waved his hand, "What is that academy called!" ”

He sat still for a moment, then stood up and walked outside the courtyard.

The green mountains and green water are like a fairyland outside the world, and they are also like a shackle cage.

Looking at the egrets rising into the sky in the distance, soaring in the sky, accompanied by the breeze, and the white clouds nestling, Lin Yu's eyes were far away, and he asked lightly with his hands behind his back: "Zhang Yuan, do you want to get out of this Lin Family Village?" ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his expression hesitated: "Leaving Linjia Village, does it mean that you can't see your parents and sister......

Lin Yu turned his head and looked at Zhang Yuan, who was hesitant, as if he saw himself back then. He smiled and said, "Of course not, you can go home to visit during the New Year's holidays." ”

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "That...... Students are willing. ”

Lin Yujing stood still for a moment and said, "Come here." ”

He looked at Lin He, who was teasing the big yellow dog beside him, and said, "Chang Geng, you come over too." ”

With that, he walked towards the house alone.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly followed, Lin He was a little confused, but he also followed them honestly.

Lin Yu walked into the study, unfolded a piece of letter paper, studied ink and picked up the pen, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and put down the pen.

Student Lin Xuanzhong kowtowed: Qiantang farewell, it has been eight years, the teacher is earnest, just like yesterday, parting words, remember in my heart...... Recommend a teenager for beauty, sensitivity and studiousness, and pure thinking...... May the teacher be generous and choose ...... Student Xuan Zhong was in tears, and it was difficult to understand what he said.

Lin Yu wrote, shook the letterhead, and after the ink dried, he folded it and put it in the envelope, and wrote on the envelope: Mr. Xiaofu opened it personally, and then handed the letter to Lin He, and said lightly: "Chang Gung, if you go to Jiankang to take the waterway, you must pass through Qiantang County, Linjiang County, and then go to Chongqi Academy in Qiantang, and hand over this letter to Mr. Zhou Xiaofu of the Academy, he will naturally understand everything." ”

Lin He took the letter into his arms and nodded.

……

Linjia Village, outside the long pavilion, the breeze is gentle, and the grass is green.

Lin He was dressed in a blue one-piece sackcloth robe, with long black cloth boots, a black cloth bag on his back, and a gray horse in his hand.

And Zhang Yuan, Lin Yu, Zhang Tong, Aunt Lin, and Zhang Xiaodie all stood quietly aside.

Several people were sent outside the long pavilion, and Lin He bowed to them and said, "Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, everyone please go back." ”

Several people had a pleasant face, and only Lin Yu looked at him in surprise.

At this time, the Jin Dynasty did not have the saying "send the king thousands of miles, and you must say goodbye in the end", Lin He didn't know, but Lin Yuke was very clear.

However, Lin Yu has long been accustomed to the wonderful words that this son makes from time to time, not to mention that in this situation, it is not suitable to ask questions.

"Xiaoyuan...... In Qiantang, you must eat better, dress better, and don't treat yourself badly. Aunt Lin looked at her son, and tears broke out as she spoke.

"Xiaoyuan, you have to study hard and listen to Mr. Academy." Zhang Xiaodie's tears flowed down her face.

"Cry what cry! It's a good thing that my son is out studying! Zhang Tong scolded, but he couldn't hide his reddened eye circles.

Zhang Yuan wiped a handful of tears and said with a crying voice: "My son will definitely remember the entrustment of his father, mother, and sister." ”

Lin Yu stepped forward, his expression was serious, and he said softly: "Go to Jiankang, the blessings and misfortunes are unknown, after retiring from the family, you must return to your hometown immediately, if you are in trouble, you can go to the Lantian Marquis Mansion to find Wang Wendu, he will help you once!" ”

Does his father still know Wang Tanzhi? Lin He was amazed in his heart, he remembered that this Wang Tanzhi was also a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but his reputation was worse than Xie An.

Lin He knew that his father was still worried about him. In order to make him feel relieved, Lin He smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, father, keep in mind." ”

Lin Yu nodded.

Seeing that the Zhang family had also finished reminiscing, Lin He said to Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, we should go!" ”

Zhang Yuan's body shook, wiped the tears on his face, and turned back three times in one step.

Lin He helped Zhang Yuan board the horse, then turned over on the horse himself, pulled the reins, and said to a few people: "Everyone go back, let's go first!" ”

After speaking, he arched his hand towards several people, patted the horse's buttocks, and walked away suddenly.

"Brother Lin, I'll wait for you here!" Zhang Xiaodie didn't know where the courage came from, her face flushed, and she suddenly shouted at Lin He's back.

Lin He looked back on the horse, smiled, waved his hand, and after a while, disappeared into the distance.
