Li Lin slowly stood up from the steps.

"Teacher ......"

She could barely believe her eyes.

But the figure of the teacher in front of him is so familiar and real.

Sun Chengxian really returned, followed by several young armor soldiers.

"Teacher, you...... Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

Li Lin blurted out.

Sun Chengxian got off the horse, handed the reins to the person behind him, looked at Li Lin from head to toe, and then looked at his mansion behind her.

In a kind tone, he said, "You really came to stay, I thought what you said in the letter was just a joke." ”

Some time ago, during the exchange of letters, Li Lin told the teacher that he had moved out of Zheng Guogong's mansion and lived in his old mansion.

Sun Chengxian's tone was preachy: "You are a woman, you don't live in your own house, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to live here alone." ”

Li Lin was a little ashamed, and lowered his head slightly: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's quite comfortable." ”

Sun Chengxian had already listened to Yuan Biao tell him about what happened in the capital, and knew that it had not been peaceful recently, so he looked around: "I haven't been back for many years, but I can still see the way it used to be here." ”

He turned his head to look at Li Lin, "After so many years, Zheng Guogong is still so stubborn?" ”

Li Lin smiled slightly: "Grandpa is still the same as before, but a little kinder than before." ”

Sun Chengxian said: "Since you have returned to the capital, you should use this time to repair the relationship with your family, and you should not move out alone." ”

"I know, it's just ......"

Li Lin didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Sun Chengxian and Li Lin entered the mansion, looking at the familiar furnishings inside, Sun Chengxian sighed slightly: "It's still a good family, I've been fighting abroad for many years, and I almost forgot that I still have such a courtyard." ”

Li Lin looked at the teacher: "Teacher, what are you doing when you come back this time?" ”

Sun Chengxian bowed slightly: "The adults won't tell you in advance." ”

He always treated Li Lin like a child.

Li Lin naturally didn't ask too much, knowing that his teacher must be in business.

"Last time your senior brother went back, he talked a lot about the court, and I never liked your participation in this." Sun Chengxian said.

Li Lin nodded, "Actually, there are a lot of things...... I can't help but be involved in ......""

"yes, I can't help myself."

Sun Chengxian took off his cloak, Li Lin reached out and took it for him, put it aside, and cleaned up the room.

Fortunately, I usually take care of these furnishings, otherwise the teacher will be disappointed if he suddenly returns now, and he will find that it is a mess.

Sun Chengxian sat behind the desk and poured a cup of tea.

He asked Li Lin: "It's been three months since they came back...... Are you used to living in the capital? ”

Li Lin packed up his things and sat down obediently across from him.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Sun Chengxian is a teacher but very peaceful: "Have you made any new friends?" ”

Li Lin was ashamed and said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, I haven't been back for a long time, and I have met many people, but I can't say anything about my friends." ”

"Yes, the gap between the border pass and the capital is too big."

"A lot of the time...... It felt out of place, and it felt like they didn't think like much of what I did. Li Lin said and thought of Zhao Ling's words just now.

This trivial matter, I don't know why, touched Li Lin's heart a lot.

"The women in the capital are all embroidering and painting, and they don't go out of the door, compared to them...... I feel like they look at me like a monster ......" Li Lin's tone involuntarily became a little more sad.

On the contrary, the teacher looked at Li Lin very calmly, these things he could have expected early on.

"Are you envious of the women in the capital?"

"Nope! I don't envy them, on the contrary, I think they don't have a self in their lives. Li Lin bluntly expressed his heart.

Sun Chengxian looked at Li Lin, and suddenly smiled faintly for a long time.

"That's right, you have to live according to your own will, and don't be bound by other people's eyes."

He spent so many years cultivating Li Lin into a female soldier who knew how to fight and set up formations with superb martial arts, and he categorically couldn't accept her getting closer to ordinary women.

Li Lin was even more ashamed when he thought of his past.

"I used to learn so much from my teacher...... Now it looks like it's going to be abandoned, and I feel sorry for the teacher. ”

Sun Chengxian said calmly: "Don't worry, there is always a time to use." ”

He stood up and walked to the window, as wise and elegant as ever, "People learn a lot in this life, but they often play a role in moments you don't expect. ”

Li Lin looked at the teacher, "Teacher...... Actually, I've been wondering if it's right to go back to the capital lately. ”

Li Lin thought of the teacher's cultivation of herself, and she was extremely ashamed, many years of border life have made her develop the habit of being free and easy, there are too many rules and regulations in the capital, and she prefers the freedom outside the plug.

Li Lin sighed:

"Sometimes it's better to go back when you think about it."

Sun Chengxian looked at Li Lin with a smile,

"That's how people are, once you've experienced your previous life, it takes a long time to adapt to it."

He casually picked up a book on the desk and opened it gently.

"If you were a man, I would leave you on the battlefield. But you are a woman after all, fighting a war is not a long-term solution, and there are more important things waiting for you to do when you come back. ”

"More important?"

Li Lin looked at the teacher puzzled.

Sun Chengxian patted the dust on his sleeve and did not face the problem head-on.

"Since I have returned to the capital, I have to start over and manage my future life well."

"Teacher...... Wouldn't you mean the same...... Married, right? ”

Sun Chengxian laughed.

"Clever! Marrying someone is just one of them, and the ultimate goal of the teacher is to want you to live well. ”

With this smile, Li Lin felt like he was back when he was a child.

It was the same when I was a kid. Living in the teacher's mansion, the teacher will tell her something interesting from time to time.

At that time, she received a lot of control and education in Zheng Guogong's mansion, and the people in the entire mansion treated her with a harsh attitude, causing Li Lin to feel depressed when she was young, but when she came to the teacher's mansion, she knew that life could be so comfortable.

Speaking of which, Li Lin spent his entire childhood in this mansion, until he later went to the frontier with his teacher and entered a new world.

Li Lin and Sun Chengxian are called master and apprentice, but Li Lin regards his teacher as the closest person in the world.

She excitedly said to the teacher: "The capital is very prosperous, and I want to take the teacher around after the teacher rests!" Look how lively it is! ”

Song Chengxian laughed again,

"I'm your teacher, I've lived so many years longer than you, don't you know what the capital is like?"

Li Lin was happy:

"No, I came back relatively early, the capital has changed a lot over the years, and I want to be a tour guide for the teacher."

"Okay."

Sun Chengxian agreed.

He looked at the guards outside, "Now that I'm back, you should also go back to the Zheng Guogong Mansion......"

Li Lin showed reluctance to say this.

"The house is so big, it's not that it can't be lived."

Sun Chengxian: "After all, your age is up, and you are different from teachers and men." ”

These words made Li Lin feel a little awkward to hear.

"But after so many years, weren't there so many people huddled together when we were in the barracks."

"How can the Jingshi be compared to the military camp?"

Son didn't want her to be too casual in this regard.

The expression on Li Lin's face was a little lonely, he lowered his head and stopped talking, obviously he didn't want to go back to the Zheng Guogong Mansion at all.

After a long time, he finally spoke:

"I don't want to go back."

Sun Chengxian looked at Li Lin: "There are still contradictions in my family?" ”

"It's not a contradiction, it's just uncomfortable...... I felt like an outsider there. ”

When Li Lin said this, he suddenly thought of his days in prison some time ago.

For such a long time, no one in the family went to see her.

She raised her head and looked at the teacher, wanting to tell him about everything that had happened to her these days, and for a moment her heart suddenly sank, and two tears suddenly appeared in her eyes and slipped down.

In fact, she was not sad at this moment, but just watched the teacher sitting in front of her, remembering the grievances she had endured, and her tears were uncontrollable.

I didn't say what I wanted to say.

She wiped her cheek with her hand and lowered her head.

Sun Chengxian looked at him like this, but smiled more gently, "Look at you, how do you look like a female general who has experienced the battlefield, and when she returned to the capital, she didn't learn anything else, but learned to cry her nose." ”

Li Lin burst into tears and laughed, "I don't know why, maybe I miss the teacher." ”

She didn't want the teacher to see her too much negativity, so she wiped away her tears and prepared to change the topic.

The teacher really thought that he had been greatly wronged here.

Sun Seungxian reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

"You......"

Of course, he knew what happened to Li Lin, and Yuan Biao had already told him everything he had seen and heard.

Sun Chengxian has been in contact with countless personnel over the years, has insight into human nature, and can see through many things at a glance.

"Okay, if you don't go back, you won't go back! It's just that there are often a lot of rules in this kind of place, and it is inevitable that there will be gossip if you are not careful, and the teacher is different from you male and female, so it is better to pay more attention. ”

Li Lin wiped the tears from his face.

"I don't care."

Sun Chengxian smiled: "You don't care, your future husband can care, and you have to explain it well when you get married." ”

Li Lin rarely showed his childish side:

"I won't marry in my life, I want to guard the teacher."

"I'm an old man, what do I have to keep."

When Sun Chengxian said this, he suddenly asked Li Lin with interest: "You have reached the age of marriage, what kind of boy do you like?" ”

Li Lin replied: "Like a teacher, he is both civil and military, erudite, wise, generous and gentle!" ”

Sun Chengxian smiled heartily when he heard her praise herself like this.

What Li Lin said is true, since she was a child, the teacher has been a perfect existence in her heart, and no one can compare with her.

"You! Pure Talk in Sleep! There is no second person in the world who is so good as a teacher, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry in your life......"

After Sun Chengxian said this, Li Lin also laughed.

If I can really marry someone like a teacher in the future, it will really be God's favor for me.

The relationship between the master and apprentice is like a real relative, and many years of dependence on each other have made Li Lin change the cold normal in front of Sun Chengxian, but a little more naughty as a child.

The other side.

Yuanshu has been sullen.

He thought that Li Lin would find himself again and plead for mercy,

However, after waiting for a long time, I found that there was no news.

He came out alone and walked on the street, his mind was full of emptiness, could it be that he behaved too much, and Sister Li Lin gave up directly?

No, Zheng Guogong's matter, she will definitely attach great importance to it.

Yuan Shu was walking down the street, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure not far away.

In front of a small stall, Li Lin was standing there shopping for small things, although her dress today was very different from usual, Yuan Shu recognized her at a glance.

Li Lin wore a bright and elegant dress today, with a few ornaments on his head for the first time, and his long black hair draped over his shoulders, which was very different from the usual men's dress.

Yuanshu was stunned there, and for a moment he suspected that he was seeing a woman who looked exactly like Li Lin's sister.

Li Lin's whole person is very fresh, and he is a little more gentle and lovely, and he has an indescribable temperament.

I didn't expect Sister Lin's painting style to change abruptly, and there was actually this kind of dress, which was in completely different contrast from before.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't looking at the wrong person, what's going on? Could it be that the sun rises in the west today......

Yuan Shu suddenly felt a little inexplicably nervous, because this was a bit abnormal, he raised his foot and was about to walk forward, when he suddenly found that Li Lin was turning his head to talk to the person next to him.

It turned out that she was standing next to a man.

The man was not young, with a few strands of gray hair on his beard, and he was very energetic, he was standing beside Li Lin in a loose plain clothes, but his body exuded a Confucian temperament, and his face was full of calm smiles.

Yuanshu stopped and looked at the man for a moment, only feeling a little familiar, and his gaze fell on the white hair of the other party's sideburns.

Who is this man?

It seems that I have never seen him, Li Lin, how can you be so familiar with him......

Although Sun Chengxian is old, he does not have a sense of old vicissitudes, but is full of elegance and stability brought by the years, as well as the wisdom of the world.

Yuanshu stayed for a long time, but still walked over.

Li Lin turned his head and saw Yuan Shu coming, and only felt that it was a bit of a coincidence.

Yuanshu took the initiative to greet him, "Sister Lin." ”

Li Lin obviously seemed to be in a good mood, and the smile on his face was a little brighter, "Such a coincidence." ”

Sun Chengxian saw Yuan Shu coming over, and when he saw that this young man had an extraordinary bearing, he knew that this must be a person from the palace gate.

"This is ......"

Sun Chengxian felt that this young man's facial features were too similar to his old friend the emperor.

Li Lin hurriedly introduced to the teacher: "This is Yuanshu, the son of King Rong!" ”

"Oh?"

Son Seung-hun is obviously very familiar with the name. I have studied with the emperor for many years, and I know a lot about the children of the royal family.

He looked at Yuan Shu again, "I haven't seen you so old for so many years, and you are younger than your father......"

"You know me?" Yuan Shu was unexpected.

Sun Chengxian said calmly: "I went to see you when you were born, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, you are also an adult!" ”
