The moonlight is clear.

Lin Yu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the two osmanthus flowers.

In the past two days, the climate has become cooler, and the osmanthus has buds, which is very meaningful in the moonlight.

The two osmanthus plants were planted by him and Shen Yun when they got married, and in the ground under the tree, the two of them also buried the wine with their own hands, waiting for Yun Yan to take it out and taste it when she came out of the pavilion.

These stories, as well as many old things, Lin Yu has told her daughter a few times.

But no matter how many times he speaks, and how many times Lin Yunyan listens to it, no one in the father and daughter will be impatient, they will only enjoy it.

Between father and daughter, without the existence of "mother", he has to care just right, and occasionally seems distant, but they never lack topics.

It's been more than a decade, and it's always been like this.

It was these days that Lin Yu vaguely felt that Lin Yunyan was avoiding him.

It's not hate, it's not rejection, it's hard to describe Lin Yu in words.

If he is a boy, he can deduce from the experience of those who have come before, twelve or thirteen years old, still a child, he prefers to be an adult, so as not to disobey his father's teachings, but when he can hide and walk, he can slip away.

After two years of beating, he is upright, and he doesn't have to chase after the elders here.

It's a girl from his family.

Speaking of which, he also has a younger sister.

When the younger sister was the same age as Yun Yan, with her mother by her side and her father alive, Lin Yu, the eldest brother, was just a "like" father, and he had never been a father for a day, so that he couldn't eat it if he really became a father.

"Father."

A crisp voice came from behind.

Lin Yu turned around and saw her holding a tea tray in her hand, so she said, "The tea is good, it smells good." ”

Lin Yunyan asked Lin Yu to sit down, poured a cup of tea and pushed it to him.

Lin Yu got up and drank it.

Lin Yunyan refilled another lamp.

One drink, one continues, silence flows among the father and daughter, only the fragrance of tea lingers on the tip of the nose.

As a result, Lin Yu became more and more unaware of where to speak.

However, no matter how difficult it is to speak, I have to say that there is something wrong with the situation between father and daughter, and I have to let my daughter find a way to alleviate it, right?

"Yun Yan," Lin Yu said, "you've been a little different lately. ”

Seeing Lin Yunyan raising his eyes to look at him, Lin Yu continued: "Support your third uncle to do business, take the people of the Xu Guogong Mansion back outside the gate, and go to the flower party with Yunfang, so that she is not calculated by the Zheng family."

are all saying that your grandmother dares to say something serious, your third uncle and mother went to retreat the ceremony and did not show mercy to the Duke of Xu, and I also heard about the things outside the palace gate today.

It looks like they've changed a little, but it seems to me that you've become more. ”

Softly, Lin Yunyan asked, "Does my father think it's bad for me to be like this?" ”

"I didn't say that," Lin Yu stroked the teacup and said, "I can't tell or assert whether these things are right or wrong, but I know that what you do must be what you think is right." I'm just curious, what happened to make you change? ”

Under the moonlight, Lin Yunyan's long eyelashes trembled.

The question could not be answered, and she could only keep her eyes down.

Lin Yu looked at it in his eyes, pondered for a moment, and when he spoke again, it was another question: "Yun Yan, if a person dies, will the soul remain?" ”

Lin Yunyan's breath froze.

Why did my father ask?

"I think there is," Lin Yu stretched her long eyebrows and smiled gently, "You say, where will your mother be watching us?" ”

Lin Yunyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Maybe under the osmanthus tree," Lin Yu considered his words, "I know that the girl's family is growing up, and she won't tell her father everything, but you may be willing to tell your mother."

When you want to speak, you stand under the tree and whisper, and she will hear you. ”

Almost instantly, Lin Yunyan's throat became sore.

Father is keen, he noticed her emotions in recent days, and his father's love is also restrained, he doesn't force her to say it, he just hopes that she won't hold it in his heart.

Lin Yunyan's emotions come from herself.

After opening her eyes in Cining Palace, she was able to accept many past experiences, good and bad, and seize them when she regained the opportunity.

Even if He and Xu Jian were burned to death in the fire, she didn't have to be afraid for long.

Xu Jian's leg is not broken, and Xu Jian is the same as her, just these two points make Lin Yunyan much more comfortable.

The only thing that is stuck in her heart is "father".

After the death of his grandmother, the Lin family gradually dispersed.

It was my father's idea.

Even if the Sincerity Bofu is gone, the Lin family has fallen into the dust, as long as their family is still together and still surviving in Beijing, they will be implicated sooner or later.

By that time, I probably won't even be able to save my life.

The eldest sister, who was forced to guard the Buddha hall after the accident, escaped from the Xu Guogong Mansion, and the Huang family took her daughter to join her mother's brother.

The three and four bedrooms are also going their separate ways, just looking for a place to live.

My father also left, and after half a year, he returned to Beijing for ten years, and then left without a trace.

Lin Yunyan saw that her father was investigating, but when she asked, her father just shook his head: "It's not time." ”

Later, she and Xu Jian were trapped in the small town of Guanzhong, and her father got the news from somehow and rushed all the way to rescue her.

They escaped with difficulty, and in the darkness of the night, a stray arrow struck their father in the back......

At that time, Shenchen had already been killed, Xuan Su went forward to explore the way, Lin Yunyan pushed Xu Jian's wheelchair, and Xu Jian concentrated on pointing the direction, running away, none of them noticed that their father was hit by an arrow.

When she finally got out of danger and joined Xuansu, Lin Yunyan saw the arrow.

At this time, if you pull out the arrow for treatment, there is not much effect.

With his last breath, my father told him all he had discovered.

"The saint is seriously ill, recuperating in Chengshou Palace, and the government is controlled by the prince, except for him, no one seems to have seen the saint, and even Prince Ping has not been able to enter Chengshou Palace."

"The third prince has a close relationship with the King of Jin in private."

"Nine times out of ten, the prince has seen the one in Yongji Palace."

"The eldest princess of Derong is probably already dead."

……

Some of the news that Lin Yunyan and they have can match, and some of them are new.

My father only had time to explain these things, and he gave up at dawn.

And they can only bury him in a hurry and set out on the road to find the truth again.

What her father left her with was the sad back of kneeling in front of her grandmother's bed and crying silently, and her pale face covered in blood and exhausted.

As long as she recalled those two scenes, Lin Yunyan's heart was very congested.

It was this kind of infarction that made her subconsciously avoid it, so that her father could see the clue.

"Don't worry," seeing that she was absent-minded, Lin Yu took a sip of tea, "Say when you want to say, say whatever you want, and don't ask you to take the top prize." ”

If you have to set the layout and write articles for the imperial examination, you have to talk with your parents, so why do you need rules?

Lin Yunyan chuckled.

She always wanted to let her grandmother have something to say, but now it fell on her head, but she was also speechless.

Does this count as "homesickness"?

"I really want to take the top prize," Lin Yunyan's tone relaxed, "but I don't have this opportunity." ”

can't pass the exam, but he can be the "second owner" of the champion.

Calculating the time, the clean-up of Honest Lane should be almost over, and she will look for Chen Gui tomorrow.

Gotta dig for treasure.

Today's two more, there is still one chapter left and more to let me slow.
