Chapter 61: The Train in the Imperial City

"Back then, the old brother took the opportunity to repair the garden for the queen mother, and gave himself a little oil and water, but he didn't think that this golden silk nanmu was difficult to do, and he almost lost his life, thanks to the brother you transported to Tainan with volunteer help, the old brother turned the crisis into a safe ......" Li Lianying recalled the past and cried at the desk, "In fact, since our brothers met, it was the brothers who helped the old brother, and the old brother has always wanted to see the opportunity to repay the brother, but this opportunity has not been caught, brother, you are gone......"

Li Lianying cried as she took out a small piece of wood from her sleeve, which was a wood sample of Taiwan's golden silk nanmu.

"Brother, do you know what it was like in my brother's heart when you sent this wooden sample that day?"

"Brother, in fact, when the old brother asked Li to give you a message to ask you for help, I had the idea of giving it a try, and I didn't dare to expect too much, you also know that the old brother is so crippled, although he is on an errand in the palace, those foreign ministers have to be respectful and respectful on the surface, but they actually look down on us in their hearts, and they don't treat us as people at all, and there are few who are really willing to make friends with us. But you're different, brother. Do you really treat your brother as a human being......"

"The old brother is afraid that people in the palace will say that befriending foreign ministers has hurt you, and he wants to send you something to show his heart, but he has not dared, you also know the old brother's thoughts, and the old brother can see it in your letter...... The old brother always thought that what we were doing was a long-term brother, and if we were not in these false ceremonies, if you entered Beijing in the future, you would definitely have the opportunity to get together in private, but I didn't think that my brother would go like this...... Now, brother, the thoughts you left for your elder brother, apart from those letters, are only like this......"

Li Lianying looked at the wooden sample in her hand, and for a while tears welled up, wetting a large piece of her clothes.

"Brother, you are in such a hurry, others don't understand what's going on, thinking that you are suffering from a sudden illness, but my heart is like this mirror...... Big brother knows, who hurt you! The team of scholars and officials who eat people's food and don't speak people's words, the knife and pen don't see blood, the soft knife kills people, the old brother has seen too much! The old brother only hates himself for not being able to inform you in advance and let you fall for them......"

Thinking of Lin Yizhe's true cause of death, Li Lianying's face instantly became distorted because of the pain.

"Brother, my brother swears to God, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely avenge you......"

There was a sudden soft knock on the door, and Li Lianying immediately received the wooden sample in her hand into her sleeve.

"Second manager, the time has come, we have to go to the garden." The voice of a small eunuch came from the door. Li Lianying heard that it was Wang Dehuan, the eunuch in charge under him, and slowly calmed himself down.

"Got it." Li Lianying got up and bowed to Lin Yizhe's tablet a few more times, and then went out of the room, carefully covered the door and locked it, and then went straight to the Huangchenggen Railway Station with Wang Dehuan.

Zhang Peilun sat in the small steamer car with bright lights, looking around, he has always been calm and self-controlled, easy to pretend to be color, at this moment, his face is very peaceful, and many of the officials who rode together to meet the officials, there are a few gossip officials, but the faces are full of consternation.

What these gossip officials never expected was that when they went to "Yongqing Changchun" to meet next, they actually saw something they never dreamed of!

Train!

They never imagined that the train, which they regarded as a beast of the flood and hated so much, would appear in the capital unconsciously!

And today asked them to take the train to Qingqi Garden "Yongqing Changchun" to celebrate their birthday, Zhang Peilun felt that it seemed that the queen mother intended to give them a reminder of the rumor-clearing officials!

Now, not only Zhang Peilun has such a feeling, but most of the gossip officials who got in the car have a trace of anger on their faces.

But they didn't dare not sit down.

You can't disobey it! Of course, these people who have read the books of the sages are very clear about this truth.

A faint mist rose in the distance, and the black, hazy mountains stood silently on both sides of the railroad tracks, looking down on the little long worm hurrying through with a kind of pride. The sky outside Beijing is still gray and heavy, the open glass windows, quietly enjoying the coolness of the breeze, only the dancing blue curtains, but at this moment are alive, shouting and singing.

Although it was not the first time I had ridden this train, it always felt weird, oppressive and dull. Everyone didn't talk much, they all sat there and looked out. No one wants to point out the country in this small space, and no one likes to finish in the seat where the ass hurts, and there is a strange clicking sound from the rolling tracks, Zhang Peilun stares at the scenery passing by the window with slightly misty eyes.

Gradually, from strange to familiar, his somewhat suppressed heart became calm, and then began to surge.

Zhang Peilun likes to climb mountains and look into the distance, but he hates the continuous peaks and wanders non-stop. He prefers the plains behind the mountains, the endless heaven and earth, which seem to contain the creation of the universe. Some people say that the plains are too bleak, but he thinks that this rugged beauty is pregnant with the miracle of tenacious life. The seeds of growth germinate here, and the boundless world opens up the broad-minded wilderness. He liked the tenacity of the poplar tree, with its tall and strong branches, and the bird's nest at the branch, where a large black mass was placed, facing the wind and rain, wanton and arrogant.

The northern sky, the air is a little chilly. Zhang Peilun seems to feel extremely new to everything around him.

A little eunuch put a cup of tea on the table in front of him, and Zhang Peilun looked at the delicate tea bowl with the pattern of "Five Blessings and Longevity", the lid of the bowl vibrated slightly, but the tea inside did not spill out.

Zhang Peilun put down the book in his hand, picked up the tea bowl, opened the lid of the bowl, stirred the tea leaves on the water, and took a sip gently.

Zhang Peilun was drinking tea while looking at the furnishings in the train, feeling that everything here could not be combined with the speeding train.

At this time, a little eunuch brought a small plate of exquisite snacks and put it on the table, and Zhang Peilun talked to him.

"This little brother, can you come over and talk?" Zhang Peilun said to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch was about twelve or thirteen years old, and after he finished his snack, he turned around and wanted to leave, but when he heard Zhang Peilun's question, he stopped.

"I wonder what your lordship commands?" The little eunuch stood by his side honestly, looked around, and looked very wary of everything, like a little rabbit.

Zhang Peilun couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw his alert appearance.
