Lin Minsheng came out of the school and looked at the crowded classmates at the door talking and laughing, and didn't rush out. (8) (1) Chinese Net Ω.ㄟ81. It's not that he's afraid of crowding with people, but he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

It turned out that the Lin family discussed inviting the master to come to the house to sit in the museum, but later his grandfather changed his mind and sent him to the official school.

There is a mixture of fish and dragons in the government and school, and everyone has it. From six or seven-year-old children to those in their twenties, there are those who are bent on learning to study, and there are also those who simply run around and run around when they are idle. Every day when school is over, this door is very lively, calling friends and companions, picking provocations and provoking troubles, settling "grievances", and flattering people, one after another, without going to the opera garden, you can see enough.

Lin Minsheng was still a stunned young man when he entered Beijing, and in the past few months after entering the official school, what he has seen is simply richer and more wonderful than the years he lived in the past combined. Originally, he still wondered why his grandfather sent him out to study, but now he vaguely understood.

There are some things that everyone has to learn, and if you don't learn them, it's hard to gain a foothold in this world, but these things are not things that books can teach you.

Lin Minsheng's identity is not a secret, after he entered the school, many people came to him, wanting to make friends with this concubine's nephew, Lin Minsheng remembered the teachings of his grandfather and father, and learned to deal with it little by little.

Although there has been no big fork in the road until now, and he is far more skilled in dealing with people than before, but he is very disgusted with these people.

After waiting for a while, he listened to the movement at the door, and the people were almost gone, so he packed his things and came out. You can't take a servant to the school, and the Lin family beats people to pick him up every day, so the car must have arrived outside the door at this time.

The official school is also an old house, and it is in disrepair, and the gable will seep rain when it rains, and there is always a musty smell in the house after a long time.

When he arrived at the door, he blocked the sunlight on his forehead with his hand, wanting to see where his carriage was parked, and heard someone shouting.

"Lin Minsheng."

He was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and someone shouted across the street: "Lin Minsheng, here, here!" ”

He looked to the opposite side, the alley in front of the official school was not as lively as the rest of the capital, the gate was facing a high pink and white wall, and a green cloth caravan was parked at the base of the wall, and a person was leaning out of the window, shouting and waving at him.

Lin Minsheng blinked, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and then looked carefully after blinking, there was nothing wrong, although the person who called him was wearing a man's clothes, he was clearly Princess Yuyao!

But how could the princess suddenly leave the palace and come to this place to find him?

Seeing that he couldn't come, Princess Yuyao seemed to be impatient and wanted to get out of the car.

Lin Minsheng hurriedly quickened his pace, trotted through the street, and ran to the carriage.

Princess Yuyao blamed him: "You shouldn't call you once or twice, and you didn't take your ears out of the house?" ”

Although she spoke with disgust, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the corners of her mouth were raised, and she looked like she was in a very good mood.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

"No, you came out alone?"

Princess Yuyao shook her head: "I came out with the imperial brother, but he has something else, so I'll come over to you." ”

Lin Minsheng turned his head and saw a few people wearing civilian clothes not far from the carriage, but at first glance, they didn't look like ordinary people guarding them.

Finally, she didn't run out alone, and Lin Minsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then how did you get here? Didn't go home? ”

"I know you're out of school at this time, so you're here." Princess Yuyao smiled and said, "Are you hungry too?" Let's go to the restaurant, I'll treat you, you don't have to pay for it. The roasted lamb's trotters, meat sandwich cakes, and spicy soup mentioned in your letter, let's try them all today. ”

Lin Minsheng couldn't cry or laugh: "You just rushed to eat?" ”

"Not really." Princess Yuyao lifted the curtain and motioned for him to get in the car: "Let's go eat delicious food first, I still want to go and see the old school field you said, as well as the Hukou Pavilion, what if you are in a hurry, don't delay your efforts, what if you don't have time to play back?" ”

Lin Minsheng couldn't help it, and while climbing into the car, he said, "Then I have to tell my family too, otherwise my grandmother and mother will be anxious if they don't see me go back at noon." ”

Princess Yuyao said proudly: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already asked someone to go and tell Mrs. Lin, saying that you will go back before dinner, so they will not look for you." ”

With all that said, what else can Lin Minsheng say? This is to give up his life to accompany the princess.

The two exchanged letters frequently, but the opportunities to meet were rare.

She wants to eat and play, and Lin Minsheng must accompany her. The food is good, and it happens to be not far from his school. The place to play is far away, the old school field and the Hukou Pavilion are in the north of the city, and it has been out of the Chengming Gate, it is almost noon at this time, and you have to see both places before dinner, and it is really necessary to do it quickly.

These few things that Princess Yuyao has eaten at noon have never eaten in the palace. The price of the things in the market is also cheap, and the imperial dining room will not present these when serving meals. Princess Yuyao ordered everything mentioned in Lin Minsheng's letter, and concluded that the sheep's hoof tendon stew was very crispy, and the spicy soup was too spicy, and she stuck out her tongue after only taking a sip, and after the meat sandwich cake was served, Princess Yuyao picked one up and took a look: "Why is it called meat sandwich cake?" It's obviously a cake with meat. ”

Lin Minsheng smiled: "I don't know, but I think so." If it's called a meat sandwich, it still falls on the word cake in the end. If it is called bread and meat, everyone will probably think that this should be the master of the meat, and they will be picky about too little meat. ”

Princess Yuyao smiled and said, "What you said is that noodles are naturally not as expensive as meat, so it should be honestly used as a piece of cake, so as not to be picked on." ”

After this lunch, Lin Minsheng accompanied Princess Yuyao all the way to the north of the city. It's rare to have a good day today, there are many people on the street, and the car can't go fast if you want to. Princess Yuyao didn't seem to be in a hurry, looking at the scenery along the road outside through the gauze curtain, and the two talked all the way. Lin Minsheng is not the dirt bun he was when he first entered Beijing, and he knows a little bit about the famous places in Beijing.

When the carriage left the city gate, the road was sparsely populated, and it was fast to go.

"Actually, there's nothing fun in the old schoolyard...... Lin Minsheng explained: "Usually no one goes there, it's a very desolate place." ”

Princess Yuyao didn't believe it: "It's nothing fun, and it's not worth mentioning it in your letter." Whether it's fun or not, I'll know when I see it. ”

Since she is so reluctant, Lin Minsheng will not persuade her. Anyway, she said it herself, whether it was fun or not, she knew it at a glance.

After a while, the kung fu carriage turned onto another road, which was the direction to the old schoolyard.

The old school field was built at the foot of the mountain, since it is said to be a school field, and it is stained with an old word, of course, it has a history of years. This old school yard has been hundreds of years now, and it should have been a place for military training, but after the change of dynasty, the sun and the moon have changed, and after many years, this place has been abandoned. I heard that the first emperor once wanted to hunt in the cultivation palace here, but later gave up this plan for some reason.

"That's it." Lin Minsheng jumped out of the car first, and then helped Princess Yuyao get out of the car.

The old school field was built at the foot of the mountain, a radius of more than ten miles, it should have been a place of great use in those days, and the foundation of the time can be seen in many places underground, and there are several stone pillars standing at the foot of the far mountain.

Princess Yuyao sat in the car for a long time, and when she got out of the car so suddenly, the wind outside the city was strong, and she instinctively shivered.

Lin Minsheng took a cloak from the car and handed it to her.

Princess Yuyao wrapped her cloak in a mess and stood in front of the overgrown stone steps, without speaking for a long time.

In winter, the grass and trees in the mountains wither, a scene of withering and decaying. Today's rare good weather, the sun just after noon is slightly slanting westward, and there is not even a cloud shadow in the blue sky. The old school yard was desolate and empty, and two small figures stood among the dead grass in the wasteland, as small as two ants.

"When I went out of the city, I felt that the sky was getting higher." Princess Yuyao squinted her eyes and looked into the distance: "This school field is really big, it's useless to be so empty?" ”

"I heard my uncle say that the terrain here is actually not good, which is not conducive to the garrison, and there is also this reason for the desertion at that time."

Where the terrain is not good, the two small ones don't understand. Just looking at this piece of school field, I imagined that this place must have been like a forest of flags, people neighing and horses, after many years of washing, but leaving no traces.

The two of them are not very old, and they don't have much experience, standing here only feel like they feel something in their hearts, but what kind of feeling it is, I can't say what it is.

Princess Yuyao walked along the cornerstone on the edge of the school yard, and only walked a few dozen steps before stopping. Ahead was a stubble, with dead trees slanting and tangled branches, blocking the road.

"Don't go inside, there may be snakes in the depths of the grass." Lin Minsheng said: "It's like this here, it's hot when we come back, and we are catching birds here with our uncle, let's come back next time, and pick a good time to come, it's too cold right now." ”

Princess Yuyao nodded at him, turned around and walked back slowly. I don't know why she suddenly remembered a sentence she had seen in a book before, and she didn't remember the previous one very well, but she remembered one sentence very clearly.

The palace and all the rooms were made of soil.

Although Princess Yuyao is not very old, after experiencing many changes, she is far more precocious and sensitive than her peers. Looking at this dilapidated ancient schoolyard, Princess Yuyao suddenly thought, the people who used to be here have already become ancient, and in a few years, decades, where will she be?

After leaving the ancient school field, Princess Yuyao was much more silent than on the way she came just now, and she regained her energy when she almost arrived at Hukou Pavilion.

Hukou Pavilion is not as desolate as the ancient school field, it is not far from the roadside. Hukou Pavilion is actually just a lonely pavilion, the reason why it is a little famous, is because people who go out of Beijing to see off often stay here, and generally send people here to stop, so this pavilion is also called the farewell pavilion. When they arrived, it happened that someone was seeing them off. It looked like three brothers, two of them were going to travel far away, the older one came to see them off, and after talking for a while under the pavilion, the two got into the car and hurried away, and the one who saw them off stood on the side of the road and looked at it for a long time, and then slowly turned around and walked back.
