Chapter Seventy-Three: The Return

Lin Zhi held an umbrella, and the umbrella was held impartially, but even if the rain was not heavy, the two of them were still wet a lot after coming over this long road, and the hem of their robes was also stained with a lot of muddy water, which looked very embarrassing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info entered the door, Hongyao was standing under the eaves waiting, and saw that there was still an unknown scholar coming in together, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. But he soon came to his senses. stepped forward and said with a smile: "Childe is back?" This rain is really not at the right time, I asked the second uncle who was the janitor to bring rain gear to pick up my son, but I didn't expect to miss it. The kitchen boiled some ginger soup, which was being warmed on the stove, and this boy also tasted it, just to get rid of some humidity and coldness. ”

Gu Yan saw the warm ginger tea on the small stove in a blink of an eye. Red Medicine is as proper as ever. If you enter the inner room, you must have prepared dry clothes. Gu Yan smiled at her and said softly, "Prepare another set of dry clothes, it's tiring." ”

Hongyao pursed her lips and chuckled, "This is a matter of servants, why should the son be so polite?" He glanced at Lin Zhi on the side a little and went out.

let Lin Zhi change into his own clothes, but Lin Zhi is older than Gu Yan and has a tall stature, so this dress looks a little short and looks a little funny. Gu Yan said with a smile: "I have wronged Lin Xiaoshu, and it will take a while for the clothes to be washed and dried, so let's take a look at it first."

Lin Zhi nodded. The two entered the study, but Lin Zhi unceremoniously made it to the stool in front of the table, put the paper in his hand on the table, and put the real handwriting aside. I picked up the ink block, poured some water from the vial on one side, and began to grind the ink. The subordinates did not stop, but their eyes were fixed on the authentic handiwork.

After grinding the ink for a while, Lin Zhi took the pen, tried the shade, and grinded the ink into the inkstone for half a circle, Gu Yan looked at it from the side, and the ink was already almost the same as the ink on the real handwriting.

Lin Zhi picked up the pen, and his subordinates never stopped, and this edict was not long, but he wrote the edict in one go. The handwriting is actually the same, and it is surprising to see Gu Yan.

It's just that after writing it, Gu Yan found a problem, although the edict was also made of first-class ink from the Tang Dynasty, but after so long, compared to the one written by Lin Zhixin, it seems that it is slightly darker on the ink. This dullness is not a matter of the shade of the ink, but the natural dull effect of the ink after many years of storage.

Lin Zhi obviously also discovered this problem, and his brows furrowed deeply, but soon he had a countermeasure. He took off another brush, kneaded the tip of the pen with his hand, picked up the small box with powder that he had given to Gu Yan before, poured out some in the corner of the paper, dipped it with the brush, and carefully applied the powder to the half-dried handwriting. After smearing it all, Lin Zhi looked left and right for a while, and poured all the remaining powder in the bottle onto the paper. Gently shook the paper a few more times, then half rolled the paper and poured the remaining powder back into the bottle. At this time, in Gu Yan's eyes, there was no difference between the two edicts. It's amazing. Gu Yan admired in his heart.

Lin Zhi corked the bottle, put it aside, and said, "You can use it again." He added, "It has not been compared with the real thing before. There was a slight deviation. But it's okay for now. ”

Gu Yan thanked him. Lin Zhi nodded and hummed softly. and he spoke no more. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became awkward and strange. Gu Yan had to find some topics casually, and there was no match to talk.

As he was talking, the door of the study was pushed open, and Gu Yan looked over, but saw an acquaintance.

Gu Yan was both surprised and delighted, and laughed loudly: "Wen Jian, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xu Gu smiled and nodded, but his gaze moved to Lin Zhi, who was sitting. smiled: "It seems that I came back this time just in time, and there was a guest." ”

Lin Zhi raised his head, glanced at Xu Gu, nodded his head to say hello, and said nothing else. Even if Xu Gu revealed his disfigured face, the expression on Lin Zhi's face was only slightly furrowed.

Gu Yan was slightly embarrassed and introduced the two to each other. Xu Gu smiled at Lin Zhi and said hello to him, but Lin Zhi seemed to have not heard it, stood up, and said to Gu Yan: "This is over, I should go back." ”

Gu Yan stopped him, "At this time, the rain has not stopped, it is difficult to walk at night, there are still vacant rooms here, why don't Lin Xiaoshu rest here, how about we go together tomorrow?" But thinking in his heart, Shi Linzhi found that the roof was leaking, so he touched it on the bed as soon as possible, and then his expression was ugly, presumably the cover was wet.

Lin Zhi stopped walking out, but he didn't make a sound, obviously hesitating. Gu Yan had no choice but to speak again: "I still have some manuscripts here, if Lin Xiaoshu doesn't dislike it, why don't you take it to the guest room and read it?" ”

Seeing that Lin Zhi nodded, Gu Yan took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them over, and ordered a few more words of red medicine, and when he saw Lin Zhi leaving, he turned around and smiled apologetically at Xu Gu. Although Xu Gu does not have such exaggerated kung fu as in novels and TV, Gu Yan still knows his 'deaf and clear-sighted' side. At that time, he was talking to Lin Zhi, even if it was through a door, the voice must not be able to hide his ears. Pushing the door in this way, either because I was curious about the other person inside, or because I was in a hurry. However, looking at Xu Gu now, he is not very anxious, and he must not be in a hurry. Gu Yan also let go of half of his heart.

"Lin Xiaoshu seems to be very unkind to me." Xu Gu said with a smile.

"Lin Xiaoshu has always been like this, presumably not intentionally." Gu Yan also replied with a smile, but he secretly wondered in his heart, but although Lin Zhi had always looked indifferent and rude, his brows had been slightly frowning after seeing Xu Gu, could it be that he really didn't like Xu Gu?

"Lin Xiaoshu's eyes are a little similar to someone I knew before." Xu Gu still had a smile in his tone, but there was obviously a hint of heaviness.

Gu Yan didn't answer, but said with a smile: "It's still raining outside, do you want Wen Jian to have a cup of ginger tea to get rid of the cold?" ”

Xu Gu waved his hand, walked to the table, pointed to the two edicts on the table, and sighed meaningfully: "This character is beautifully written, but it is much better than me." ”

Gu Yan pointed to the calligraphy of "There are Peaches in the Garden" from where Lin Zhi came, "That is the handwriting of Lu Zhen in the Tang Dynasty, and this character is even more beautiful." Then, with a wry smile, he told Xu Gu about this matter. didn't wait for Xu Gu to speak, after a slight pause, he said solemnly: "Brother Wen Jian will go to Chenzhou...... Where is the man? ”
