This man has a baby face, but his body is extremely thin. The two heavy dark circles under the pale and expressionless face of the pen www.biquge.info were very obvious. It looks like a drunken gentleman. He didn't wear a hat or a crown like the others, but he used a hairpin to pull his hair up, but it was not very neat.

This man seemed familiar. Gu Yan thought like this, but he couldn't remember when he had seen it.

Seeing that this person didn't want to deal with people, Gu Yan didn't care too much, thanked Wang Xiaoshu again, and started his own work. The task of editing books is not heavy, and the collection of books in the Secret Pavilion is indeed quite large, so it is not bad to be able to look at these collections after work. You must know that there are many books in it that have long been lost in modern times. Recently, while Gu Yan was writing a political thesis, he was thinking about what development route was the most suitable route for the Song Dynasty. If there is such a development route, how should it be accepted? It's not a good thing to settle down and read a book in the Secret Pavilion.

The Northern Song Dynasty had basically formed the habit of eating lunch. In order to make the relationship between colleagues more harmonious, Gu Yan suggested that he invite him to dinner at noon. Naturally, everyone agreed without objection - except for one person.

"Aren't you going?" Gu Yan asked with a little hesitation.

Lin Zhi quickly raised his head and glanced at Gu Yan. "Not necessarily." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to read.

Gu Yan glanced at him again, and saw that he was completely unmoved, so he went out.

When Gu Yan and the others went out, Lin Zhi raised his head and glanced at the door again. I looked at the book again.

After they were full of wine and food, everyone left the restaurant. There was almost a tacit rule in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty that you could go home early after finishing your work, which caused most of the officials in the Northern Song Dynasty to leave early, and many people went home after eating at noon. Even if the emperor personally issued an edict to stop this phenomenon, there would be nothing to make up for it. However, the officials in the capital are much more restrained than those in other places. However, in recent years, the official family has not been as healthy as before, and in the past, they would occasionally come to the Secret Pavilion to walk around, and now if there is any book they want to read, or if they have any questions about the editing of books, they are all asking people to pass on the news. Not to mention, in the past few years, the official family has rarely read books, except for occasionally calling one or two ministers to lecture in front of the emperor. Besides, if the official family wants to find any books, there is still a Lin Zhiju in the Secret Pavilion who never leaves early and almost knows everything about the books in the Secret Pavilion. So after eating, most of them said goodbye and went home directly.

Gu Yan was a step slower after settling the account. There was a hibiscus cake at the banquet that was very well made, sweet and delicious, but not sweet. quite in line with his taste, Gu Yan packed one, planning to eat it as a snack in the afternoon or evening when he was hungry. Probably because Gu Yan's body is still in the period of puberty, during this time, Gu Yan's appetite can be said to have increased greatly, there is always a feeling of hunger in his stomach, and sometimes even after eating enough, he feels very hungry in his belly only for an hour or two. Gu Yan also developed the habit of eating some pastries when he was hungry.

Gu Yan carried this bag of hibiscus cake back to the Secret Pavilion, and there were only a few people left in the Secret Pavilion. As soon as I looked at it, I knew that I hadn't eaten lunch.

Isn't this man hungry? Gu Yan glanced at him, but unexpectedly found that this person's reading speed was unusually fast, Gu Yan thought that he had read a lot of books since the third life, and his reading speed was not slow, but compared to this, it was obviously not enough to read. This person is not reading a book, but flipping through a book, and at such a fast speed, can he really read what is written in the book? Gu Yan was deeply puzzled. However, in this kind of matter, Lin Zhi has no need to lie at all. Only then did Gu Yan understand why Wang Xiaoshu said that this young man who was only in his twenties, "The books in this secret pavilion are almost finished by him." With such a reading speed, I'm afraid that what Wang Xiaoshu said is not a lie.

Gu Yan looked at Lin Zhi here, but Lin Zhi stopped turning the pages of the book. raised his head, looked at Gu Yan with a frown, and spit out two words stiffly: "Something?" The tone was a little unkind, and the implication was already obvious, this was to tell Gu Yan to walk away quickly if he was fine.

This question was unexpected by Gu Yan, and this Lin Xiaoshu was an unsociable person at first glance. Gu Yan thought that he would completely ignore himself.

Without waiting for Gu Yan to answer, Lin Zhi continued to speak: "I'm reading. ”

Does this mean that no matter what you have to do, don't disturb me while I'm reading? Gu Yan was stunned, this was too polite.

Who knew that Lin Zhi paused for a moment, and then said three words: "I'm not used to it." ”

Gu Yan thought about it slightly and was relieved, it turned out that this person was not used to having someone by his side when he was reading. No wonder he sat alone in the corner and there was no one. It seems that this man is not as proud as he thinks. However, the words of these words seem to be very proud. At least in Gu Yan's sound, the blunt tone was like condescending to say a few more words. Presumably the others listened to it as well.

Lin Zhi stared at Gu Yan's eyes, as if waiting for his answer. Seeing that Gu Yan didn't answer immediately, his brows furrowed even tighter, and some impatience appeared on his face.

However, the reason why Gu Yan stood here and looked at it a few more times was just because he was just curious about this person. What's the matter where? However, Gu Yan came up with a good way to solve the embarrassment, and said before Lin Zhi spoke again: "It's not important, it's just that you haven't eaten yet, Lin Xiaoshu has some hibiscus cakes here, the taste is acceptable, Lin Xiaoshu has the right to cushion his stomach." With that, he put the warm hibiscus cake he was holding on the table.

Hearing this, he was stunned and became Lin Zhi. He looked a little at a loss, sighed meaninglessly, glanced at the hibiscus cake on the table quickly, and then put his eyes on the book in his hand again. There was no intention of opening the hibiscus cake.

Gu Yan was turning around and wanted to leave, but saw Lin Zhi raise his head again, and said softly, "Hmm...... Thank you. A stiff smile appeared on his face.

Gu Yan was about to reply, "No thanks." However, after seeing the stiff and strange smile on Lin Zhi's face, he finally understood where that familiarity came from. Isn't this unique smile that doesn't smile like a smile is the strange character he saw when he went to the night market for the first time and bought Chengsha dumplings at the night market, and then couldn't wait to deliver them? However, on the one hand, the lights in the night market are not very bright, and after such a long time, the person's face is not very clear, but this "unique" smile Gu Yan remembers it quite deeply.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "If I knew this, I should have brought a Chengsha dumpling for Lin Xiaoshu." ”

Do you remember Chengsha dumplings? In chapter forty-one. Ha ha.

I reluctantly changed the name of the neatly formatted chapter...... Alas, it feels like the formation can't be maintained. In fact, I really want to write the title as "Regret the lack of clear sand group, give you hibiscus cake......
