Lin You shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My aunt said that we scholars don't even know the grains, let alone farming, but being an official will inevitably solve these things for the people, you don't even understand the shallowness, how can you guide the people who have planted for an unknown number of years?"

That's why I went down with my aunt, but I just had some knowledge. ”

Zheng Qi's eyes flashed with admiration, "She is worthy of being a young lady of the family, and this knowledge alone is stronger than many people." ”

Lin You looked at Zheng Qi in a daze, and his intuition was wrong. He rarely sees such an expression on other people's faces, but whenever he mentions his aunt, there are those who admire, admire, and awe, and even despise him, but they are not the same as the appreciation on Zheng Qi's face.

He subconsciously changed the topic and said with a smile: "Is it the first time Brother Zheng has come to Suzhou, I don't know how long you want to stay?" ”

Zheng Qi smiled and said, "It's the second time I've come, and when I visit my old friends, I'll decide whether to go home or continue south." ”

"There's a war going on in the south, are you going to go too?"

Zheng Qi laughed and said: "The Southern Han is about to destroy the country, why don't I go?" If you're lucky, you might be able to see the moment when my Liang soldiers invaded the opponent's capital. ”

Lin You looked at it with a little envy, it was impossible for him to go to the Southern Han Dynasty, and he couldn't even go out for a study tour.

Since his father's early death, his grandfather, uncle and mother have been very nervous about him, for fear that something will happen to him when he goes out, and their branch will be broken.

Lin You has been very considerate of his elders since he was a child, but he really wanted to go out, and he didn't dare to mention it for the sake of his family.

So he has been at ease since he was a child, thinking that when he passes the Jinshi examination, he can go out to be an official, and he can go out for a walk.

He envied Zheng Qi and became more and more firm in his ideals, and his aunt said that the imperial examination was only two years away, and he had to be more prepared.

After the meeting, Lin You and Lu Yu slowly approached, Lin You admired his knowledge, and Lu Yu admired his purity and stability.

As for Zheng Qi and the others, because they were going to visit a few hermits on the outskirts of Suzhou, Lin You temporarily cut off contact with each other.

But he didn't expect him to meet Zheng Qi outside the Lin family's courtyard, Lin You blinked, and after confirming that it was him, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Zheng?" ”

Zheng Qi turned around and smiled slightly when he saw Lin You, "Why is Brother Lin here?" ”

Lin You was stunned when he heard this, then jumped off the horse with a smile and said, "Brother Zheng won't notify me when he comes back, so I can pick you up and wash the dust." ”

He looked at the gate of the courtyard and asked with a smile, "Brother Zheng is here to see my aunt?" ”

"Yes, I heard that Mrs. Xie also lives here, so I came to pay a visit."

Only then did Lin You understand that he should have an old relationship with the Xie family, but he still faintly felt that something was wrong, so he didn't lead people inside, but stood at the door and talked to Zheng Qi after handing over the horse to the subordinates in the other courtyard.

Soon, Steward Lin came out with a smile and said, "Gongzi Zheng, Mrs. Xie, please go in." ”

Then he saluted Lin You, "Young Master You can have lunch?" ”

Seeing that Lin You shook his head, he smiled and said, "Then the old slave asked the kitchen to prepare some for you." ”

After saying that, the two of them were led in, Zheng Qi looked at Lin You with a slight surprise in his heart, he didn't expect Lin You's status in the Lin family's courtyard to be so high.

Lin You was not in a hurry to eat, he first accompanied Zheng Qi to meet Mrs. Xie, and then left the two to talk and quietly retreated.

"What is the relationship between the Zheng family and the Xie family?"

Steward Lin thought for a while, frowned and said: "The old slave only remembers that my uncle has a classmate friend named Zheng Yi, this Zheng Qi really hasn't heard of it, I asked my aunt and grandmother, she hasn't heard of it either, and it may be a relative of the Yang family." ”

Lin You nodded and stopped talking.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Xie and Zheng Qi greeted each other politely.

"I wasn't at home when Erlang went, and when I got home, I heard my mother and cousin regret that I couldn't go to mourn in person, and I hope that my wife will forgive me."

Mrs. Xie turned the Buddha beads absently and said, "You are peers, and he is not worth your trouble as a child." ”

She didn't want to mention the sad thing, so she changed the topic and asked, "Zheng Gongzi has traveled here this time?" ”

"Yes, I traveled here with a few classmates."

Mrs. Xie sighed slightly, Erlang also wanted to go out to study for a while, but he was influenced by this Zheng Dalang, but he was only fourteen at the time, how could she be reluctant, so she united with Sister Wan to leave people behind.

I knew that I should have let him out in the first place, so I could have fewer regrets.

Seeing that Mama Yang was in a daze, she knew that she was thinking of the second young master again, so she hurriedly took the teapot and stepped forward to pour tea for Zheng Qi, "Zheng Gongzi tastes this tea, it is morning tea this spring." ”

Zheng Qi was surprised, "Morning tea came down so quickly?" ”

Mrs. Xie came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's almost the end of spring, what's so strange about morning tea?" ”

Mrs. Xie and Zheng Qi are not familiar with each other, but they have only met a few times, but they are more familiar with Zheng Yi.

Zheng Qi took a sip of tea, glanced out the door, and saw that the person he wanted to see hadn't appeared yet, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that when he came to the door, Miss Lin would not come forward to entertain guests, and he couldn't say bluntly that he wanted to see Lin Qingwan.

After sitting for a while, there was really nothing to talk about, so he got up and said, "Madame, have a good rest, and the little nephew will retire first." ”

Mrs. Xie immediately asked people to send him off, and said with a smile: "There are few people who can remember Erlang now, if you have time in the future, you will come to see me." ”

He also advised: "Be careful when you go out, and avoid things if you can." ”

Zheng Qi responded with a smile and bowed goodbye.

Mama Yang helped Mrs. Xie to see him off, and said confusedly: "Madam, he came to see you, how can I look at him a little absent-minded." ”

Mrs. Xie waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter what he is, since he said that he came to see me, I will assume that he has come to see me." ”

Zheng Qi, who was out of the flower hall, stopped halfway through, and smiled at the girl who showed him the way: "Your young master Jiayou doesn't know where he is, I have something to say to him, can you lead me there?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "Then the boy will go to the front yard and wait first, and I will go and call Young Master You." ”

"No," Zheng Qi stopped her and smiled: "I'm friends with him, there is not so much red tape, where is he, you can just lead me over." ”

The maid was stunned, "Young Master You is in the backyard, how can the son go, you wait in the front yard first." ”

After saying that, he was led to a hall in the front yard, Zheng Qi's face was full of helplessness, "Why is it so troublesome, I'll go with you and wait at the second gate." ”

The maid smiled and said, "How dare you let the guests stand and wait, you sit down and drink tea first, and the slave will let people call Young Master You." ”

After that, he turned around and went out to find a girl, and asked her to go to the backyard to find Lin You, and she personally guarded Zheng Qi.

Hmph, you can fool her if she thinks she's a country girl?

Although she has never served by her aunt's side, she was personally taught by Mama Lin, and all foreign men are not allowed to enter the backyard, except for the people brought by Steward Lin, the men who can go to the backyard can be counted with two slaps, and then minus the surname Lin, so far there are only Shang Mingjie and Shang Mingyuan.

Lin You had just had lunch and was about to go to the back to see the rice fields to eliminate food, when he heard the words and turned around and went to the front yard.

He had met his aunt just now, and the expression on her face when she mentioned Zheng Qi was obviously unrecognizable.

Lin Qingwan really doesn't know Zheng Qi, maybe Sister Wan will, but she really hasn't seen or heard of this person.

Lin You sent Zheng Qi out of the door with a smile, exchanged a few words with him and watched him leave.

Steward Lin walked behind him out of nowhere, and Lin You, who turned around, was almost startled, "Steward Lin, are you walking silently?" ”

Steward Lin smiled and pleaded guilty, but still defended himself, "It's Young Master You who thinks about things too much." ”

Lin You's brows furrowed, and Steward Lin asked with a smile, "Young Master You, what are you worried about, I don't think you like this Zheng Gongzi very much." ”

Lin You smiled bitterly: "He has excellent knowledge and talent, and his knowledge is also extraordinary, how can I not like him?" ”

Steward Lin shook his head with a smile, but he didn't say anything.

Lin You sighed and couldn't help whispering: "I just think it's weird, I don't think he's here to see Mrs. Xie today." ”

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink," Steward Lin touched his beard and smiled: "No matter what he is for, as long as we don't leak, he won't want to get anything from the Lin family's courtyard." ”

He's seen a lot of people like this, huh.

Lin You nodded and followed Steward Lin to the backyard to see his aunt.

Lin Qingwan was reading a book, or did Bai Mei remind her to find the two of them, she put down the book and asked, "The guest sent away?" ”

"Yes," Steward Lin said in a low voice: "Grandma, do you want to send someone to check on him, I always feel that he seems to want to enter our Lin family to find out something." ”

Lin Qingwan frowned and said: "I'll ask my mother-in-law when I go back, it's not good to go and check on a person rashly, if he is good, wouldn't it be disrespectful to him?" ”

Lin You on the side opened his mouth, he didn't expect that Steward Lin said that "the drunkard's intention is not to drink" was what he meant, his intuition was wrong.

Zheng Qi seems to have seen such behavior somewhere, Lin You knocked his head, but found that he didn't remember.

It's just a stranger who came to the door, Lin Qingwan didn't care so much, explained some things, and sent Lin You to copy the book, and then went to find Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie didn't know much about Zheng Qi, "I have been in contact with the Zheng family, and I am also a scholarly family, I don't think he will do that kind of conspiracy, maybe Steward Lin thinks too much." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded.

Mrs. Xie said: "You are not familiar with the Zheng family, but Zheng Yi is definitely familiar with you, and this Zheng Qi is his cousin." ”

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have I seen him?" ”

Mrs. Xie smiled: "I've seen it a few times, it's possible that you don't remember, every time you get together with Erlang, you only like to play with Zheng Yi and a few of them, outsiders can't get in, and there are people who forget when you see it." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled weakly, she remembered Zheng Yi, firstly, because Sister Wan had mentioned it once or twice, he and Xie Yiming were good friends.

The second is that he also arrived when Xie Yiming was buried, and persuaded her a few words.

"After Erlang went, he came to the house for three days," Mrs. Xie sighed, "I also went when I was buried, and then he often went to see me, and now he should be in the capital Guozi Prison, if Erlang is here"
