The sound of reading in Chengnan Academy was still the same, and there was a sense of sleepiness, thinking that by the afternoon, the students were already tired. Another good teacher who took the students to study was not Lin Zhao.

The boy at the door brought Ming Yi in and turned around and disappeared, probably wanting to take advantage of the sunny afternoon to sit on the threshold and take a nap.

Ming Yi had to go all the way inside by himself, relying on the memories of his previous visits, groping to go to Lin Zhao's study.

After a dense bamboo forest, Ming Yi finally saw Lin Zhao, thinking that he should also squint his little eyes, napping in front of the desk, but he didn't expect him to be diligent, and was bending over to serve a pot of extraordinarily short bamboo.

Seeing that he was focused, Ming Yi tiptoed behind him, seeing that his pair of Danqing holy hands were not dirty, and brought the flower pot to the sun and adjusted the position.

"I thought Mr. Lin was just cherishing flowers, but I didn't expect to be so loving to this bamboo." Mingyi sighed.

Lin Zhao was taken aback, turned around to see her, and smiled helplessly: "How can Ming Niangzi have Yaxing come to see her?" also let the lady see me so embarrassed, it was really sven to the floor. ”

"How? Bamboo is a gentleman's bamboo, and Mr. Lin is also a gentleman, just quite. Ming Yi comforted.

Lin Zhao looked at his hands and said, "Wait a while, I'll wash the dirt and talk to the lady again." ”

As he spoke, he walked quickly into the depths of the bamboo forest, listening to the sound of the wheels turning, thinking that he had fetched water from the well to wash his hands.

After a while, I saw him running back with his hands thrown away, his body was slightly fat, so he was still a little panting: "The lady has been waiting for a long time." ”

Ming Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's go into the study and talk, I do have something to ask for." ”

Lin Zhao walked over, looked at a few pots of bamboo on the ground, and nodded, "Okay, let's go in and talk." ”

Mingyi couldn't help but look at those bamboos twice: "Why does Mr. Lin attach so much importance to these pots of bamboo?" Is it a rare breed? ”

The bamboos were no more than a foot high, the branches were extremely slender, and the leaves were so delicate that they seemed to break when the wind blew. Mingyi didn't understand these potted plants, but he only felt that they were similar to the common bamboo.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "This is specially moved from Chenzhou by the Ling Yuanju, called Long Xuzhu, it is difficult to serve." Especially in winter, there is no frost or snow. Su Ridu was placed in the flower room in front of the courtyard house, on the other side of the bamboo forest. He instructed me to move out of the sun today and bask in the sun, but not to be hit by the frost, so I could only put it in front of my study to look good. ”

Ming Yi looked around, and through the bamboo forest, he could vaguely see a small building, which seemed to be Ling Zhanyun's residence.

"Isn't Ling Yuan in the Academy? I haven't seen him yet. Ming Yi was still a little relieved in her heart, she was not fully prepared to meet Ling Zhanyun.

Lin Zhao invited her to sit in front of the bookcase: "Our Ling Yuan judge is a busy person, and he rarely shows up in the academy, but only comes back to rest at night. It is often not there for three or five days, or even ten days. ”

"Oh? Is there so much to do in one court judgment? Mingyi said tentatively.

"That's nature. Our Seongnam Academy is not an ordinary academy. The court judge usually has to socialize with those dignitaries and nobles, and often accompany them on trips to keep in touch with each other. There was a sense of superiority in Lin Zhao's words that was difficult to hide, "The court judge is suffering from the blue eyes of those nobles on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also attracts many talented people, which is really both talented and wealthy." ”

Ming Yi laughed and said: "That's still not as comfortable as our Mr. Lin, who can paint beauties and earn gold, and really have both wealth and beauty." ”

Lin Zhao laughed with her and asked, "Ming Niangzi must have something important to do before she came in person, Lin Zhao was taken care of by the lady a lot, if necessary, just say it." ”

Ming Yi put away his smiling face and said, "There is indeed something important, does Mr. Lin have an impression of the Wanqing lady in Xinglu Courtyard?" ”

Lin Zhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "That Yangzhou's late sunshine? Tsk, the willow has a thin waist and a graceful appearance, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are affectionate, how can you not be impressed, very profoundly. Didn't she go back to Yangzhou? ”

Ming Yi sighed: "That's to appease other ladies from Yangzhou." In fact, she stole some treasures from Xinglu Courtyard, many of which are not visible, and you also know that some of the gifts received by the little ladies in Xinglu Courtyard are not in the right way, and they are all hidden by the master lady in case of emergency. After she stole it, it was inconvenient for Xinglu Yuan to report to the official, so it has been delayed until now. ”

Lin Zhao was a smart person, and suddenly realized: "Ming Niangzi wants me to draw her appearance so that people can hunt her down?" Isn't there a special painter in the government? ”

Ming Yi explained: "The Xinglu Courtyard is unwilling to use the power of the government, and you also know how dark they are, even if they are recovered, most of them will be swallowed." What's more, how can the painters of the government compare with Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin's pen is wonderful, and the beauties he paints can interpret and laugh. I just ask for a picture for my brothers in the rivers and lakes to find. ”

Lin Zhao scratched his head: "But Wanqing's lady has been gone for so long, why are you looking for it now?" ”

Mingyi had no choice but to continue to lie: "Originally, Shi Niangzi thought that she might encounter some difficulties for a while and would eventually come back, but she miscalculated people's hearts. And you also know that there is a lack of evening sunshine in Xinglu Courtyard, and the master lady has gone to recuperate and heal, so there are some difficulties in operation, and you also need to use those treasures. Now she is in charge, and although I have a general friendship with her, I always have to help when she asks me. ”

Lin Zhao understood: "Okay, since it is what Ming Niangzi needs, it is incumbent on me to do so." ”

Lin Zhao took out a pen and paper and immediately entered the state. The pen is like a god, but after a moment of effort, the appearance of the evening sun has jumped on the paper. Although it is only black and white ink, her facial features and demeanor are very similar, and I believe that with this painting in hand, over time, she will be able to hunt down.

Ming Yi sighed, took out some silver from his sleeve and gave it to Lin Zhao: "Hard work, Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Zhao sighed and put away the money: "With a show of effort, I will work harder in a while, and I have to move those flower pots back to the Ling Yuan Judgment House." ”

Ming Yi looked at the sunlight outside, which was gradually about to be removed, and said, "Then I won't delay Mr. Lin's work, and I will retire first." ”

Lin Zhao sent it all the way to the door and wished him peace repeatedly.

Mingyi held the painting in his hand, and he had confidence in his heart. Although Tao Sanniang also wanted to find Wanqing, she had to ask Xinglu Courtyard about Wanqing's whereabouts and appearance, and it was difficult to get such a real portrait. It is not easy to find someone who is deliberately hiding in the middle of nowhere. What's more, Aya Luo is also very smart, and there will definitely be some wrong descriptions, which will make Tao Sanniang's search even more difficult. The most important thing is that the other members of the Peach Seven Gang seem to be very dissatisfied with Tao Sanniang's current behavior, thinking that she is carried away by her feelings. If you can do something in it, Tao Sanniang's position as the leader may not be able to be maintained.

The reason why she was more relaxed was that today, she still hadn't met Ling Zhanyun. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
