Chapter 4: The Return
A drizzle was pouring outside the gates of Kyoto, and the people rushing into the city sped up, and as a result, they all crowded together at the gates, forming a long line. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A small and inconspicuous carriage lined up in the middle of the line, if the curtain was lifted, Lin Fu stretched out his head to look at the slow speed of the city gate to check the car into the city, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that the traffic jam in the capital to the third ring road was a problem left over from history.
Just look around, the warblers are singing and dancing, and the flowers are red and willow green. The moat is full of greenery, and when you lift the curtains, it is full of fresh and fragrant smells, so it seems that this haze must not be what Kyoto should have, right?
Just as Lin Fu was waiting at the gate of the city jammed with traffic, he didn't want to whisper to the garrison sergeant at the city gate in front of him, and then a sergeant followed the team to ask.
Lin Fu didn't care, thinking that he was just investigating something, until the sergeant came to his car and asked if it was Lin Gongzi inside, Lin Fu got out of the car in surprise, and when he inquired, he learned that his uncle Lin Ang had sent someone to pick him up.
He followed the sergeant through a special passage, met with the butler-like figure in front of him who whispered to the garrison sergeant, and made his way all the way to the city.
Looking at the envious and jealous eyes of the people around him looking at his carriage, Lin Fu couldn't help but smile secretly, he hated the privileged person who took shortcuts the most in his life, and he didn't want to become the second ancestor here. Fortunately, at this time, the face had already cultivated to the point of invulnerability, so he followed the housekeeper inside.
Although the General's Mansion is the closest house to the Imperial Palace, it is still some distance from the Imperial Palace. The high-walled compound, where there are either six books or cabinet elders living nearby, the outside of the house is clean and tidy, but the front of the door is deserted because of the depth of the courtyard wall on weekdays.
Lin Fu slowly came to the gate of the General's Mansion in a carriage, and there were no curious eyes of people in the market around him, only the vigilant and inquiring eyes of several family members.
Lifted the curtain, got out of the car slowly, and walked forward with Ruoruo, with no expression on his face. Looking around, this place where I was born has no memories and feelings.
The family was about to come forward to ask, and Lord Shangshu Lin of the Ministry of Officials walked out of the mansion quickly, glanced at Lin Fu, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this child's beauty is very much like his mother, and there is a little bit of General Lin's heroism between his eyebrows, which really makes people like it tightly, but his body looks weaker.
Thinking that Ye Wangye would not treat him badly, it was mostly because of his sad background, and his uncle Lin Ang was distressed for a while. Looking at this kid, he didn't know what to say, but beckoned, "Back?" Then he turned and walked in. Lin Fu smiled and followed his uncle inside, without saying a word.
The high-walled compound of the General's Mansion, the vegetation of the rockery in the middle is exquisite and elegant, and the people seen along the road are waiting on the side of the road with broken voices, calling for a Shangshu Lord. I didn't say much to the young man next to Master Shangshu, and I didn't look at it much, it was orderly.
The deeper and deeper I went, I didn't even see the inner courtyard. If you are an ordinary outcast, when you first enter the mansion of such a first-class person, most of you will be a little depressed in your heart, and your behavior will be more restrained.
But Lin Fu has lived in the prince's mansion in the bustling Yecheng over the years, and he has also visited the Forbidden City in a certain life, so there is nothing unnatural about walking and looking at it all the way. It's just that the maid around her Ruoruo looks a little restrained.
Although the smile on his face is restrained, if this is seen by the fairy sister, she will definitely beat this little ghost again, pretending to be an innocent young man who has never seen the world?
But the people around him didn't know what he had experienced in the past ten years, only that the situation of the bloody case was that Lin Fu was taken away by Mu Qingzhu. But in fact, no one knows where Master Mu has gone, and everyone has seen that the young master who has not seen him for more than ten years is such a person, although he can't tell what is good, but he always feels a little interesting.
Entering the inner courtyard, Lord Lin sat down on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, and someone here served tea. Lin Fu was also not polite, and sat down beside Lin Shangshu with a golden knife, closed his eyes and recuperated, no longer caring about the eyes around him.
After a while, there was a sound of small footsteps in the corridor, Lin Fu turned his head sideways, and saw a woman with a beautiful face and starry eyes walking in with a smile on her face, although there were still several people behind her, but Lin Fu's eyes were completely attracted by her, and he had no intention of paying attention to anything else.
Lin Shangshu didn't make any moves, still drinking tea by himself. Lin Fu took a slight breath and got up to greet him.
The man saw Lin Fu standing up from a distance, so he beckoned, "My brother has traveled a long way, and he has worked hard, so sit down." ”
The person who came was naturally Lin Yao, the eldest daughter of Lin Shangshu, Lin Fu politely said a few words, and when everyone sat down, he asked the question in his heart, "I didn't communicate with my uncle before I came, how can the time card be so accurate, and my uncle can send someone to meet me at the city gate?" ”
As soon as these words came out, many people present couldn't help laughing, and Lin Fu was very embarrassed by the laughter. Awkwardly asked, "What?" ”
Lin Shangshu said slightly teasingly, "Your Majesty, since you won the first place in the childhood examination, you have mentioned the matter of letting you return to Beijing every year. Ye Wang Ye has been deaf, and the people sent to Ye Cheng have also been detained by him, and His Majesty is very angry because of this. ”
"So this time, Lord Ye finally let you come back, and Your Majesty received the news a few days ago."
"Huh?" Lin Fu was taken aback, although he didn't expect the people in Yecheng not to reveal the news of his trip to Kyoto to His Majesty, but he always felt that his identity was secret, and the communication was not developed in this era, so it would be a few days later for the news to come, "I deliberately rushed to the capital quickly, but I didn't want everyone in the world to know?" ”
"No, no, no. It's just that I, as your uncle, Your Majesty told me about it and asked me to prepare a little. Lin Shangshu smiled.
Lin Fu still frowned, and said in his heart that the power of this court is really everywhere, and even his own itinerary is almost calculated. This emperor also has a clear purpose, and he didn't mention it in the early years, but when he saw that he had made achievements in literature and Taoism, he was willing to look at himself squarely.
Lin Shangshu saw his little caution, and said with a smile, "The emperor's family is the most ruthless, don't worry about it." There were too many things left behind by your father, and they were too important, so now His Majesty's attitude towards you is very vague. If you don't do something, he will be happy to ignore your existence. “
Lin Fu thought about it, if he didn't have any use value, he would naturally let himself rot in Yecheng, and save one thing.
The family can be regarded as having met, and arranged for Ruoruo to take his bags to the residence to decorate first, and Lin Shangshu called Lin Fu to the study alone. Looking at the delicate face of this young man, he sighed for a while, "It's really like your mother." ”
