Chapter 45: The Confucian Scholar

Although the manor of the Lanxi Lin clan covers a huge area, it is not as luxurious as Zhao Rong imagined.

It's a neat and low-key look.

Only black, white and gray are intertwined.

In the misty mountains.

This stretch of buildings is endless.

From a distance, it is the undulating horse-head wall, the black tile and white wall that reflect each other, and the shadow of the wall.

There are also archways shaped like arches. The eaves fly ridges, the dougong flower wings, the beams, the columns are decorated with hollow reliefs such as dragons, lions, cranes and deer.

Zhao Rong got off the car and stopped to watch for a while, the number of archways is amazing, it is to commend meritorious service, Kedi, virtue and politics and loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, used to flaunt merit.

It shows the character and merits of every scholar surnamed Lin in this family for 700 years.

It's no wonder that you can raise such a scholar next to you.

Lin Wenruo restrained the smile on his face and took Zhao Rong to visit the archway, but he did not introduce the deeds of these ancestors to him, and the lettering that was highly evaluated.

The two scholars walked and stopped, and said very little.

Everyone waited not far away, looking at the slender figures holding two umbrellas under the tall archway.

After a while, the manor welcomed a large group of people, all stewards and domestic servants, who came out to greet the master and distinguished guests.

"Ziyu, I'll show you around the Humble House later. The corners of Lin Wenruo's mouth were hooked, and he walked side by side with Zhao Rong, slightly sideways to speak, and the two followed behind a large group of people and walked slowly to the manor.

"Today's rain is not enough fun, if the rain stops tomorrow, I will take you to have a good time in Lanxi. ”

Zhao Rong listened attentively, and when he heard this, he was noncommittal and did not pick it up.

Suddenly, a servant dressed in navy blue clothes in the rear stepped forward and whispered not far behind the two: "Master, Prime Minister Qin Cheng is waiting in the Begonia Hall with a group of ministers. ”

"Tell Old Qin to wait for them, and I'll go later. Lin Wenruo commanded casually without looking back, paused, and added. "Let the kitchen prepare their evening meals as well. ”

Then he and Zhao Rong continued the topic they had just talked about.

When the slave received the order from his master, he withdrew as usual.

I don't think it's wrong to let the prime minister of the dynasty and a group of court ministers come to the door to wait for a royal history from the seventh grade.

"If Brother Wen Ruo has something, we don't need to accompany my younger brother, just send someone to take us to a resting place. Zhao Rong glanced at Lin Wenruo and said seriously. "Tomorrow when the rain stops, the younger brother will leave and leave without disturbing Brother Wen Ruo. ”

"Ziyu, where is this, I'll be angry if I do this again. It's just a little thing, I'll accompany you to visit the house later, and then deal with it. Lin Wenruo feigned anger, and then sighed.

"During these days, the court quarreled every day, which was very annoying, and I didn't give me a clean house when I got home. ”

When Zhao Rong saw him like this, he couldn't shirk it anymore and nodded.

Zhao Rong and the three of them each had a courtyard to rest, and after Lin Wenruo took the three of them to settle down, he offered to take them around for a visit.

Liu Sanbian and Su Xiaoxiao both waved their hands and refused, the former knew that the master here was so enthusiastic that it was definitely not because of him, so he didn't go to join in the fun, and before parting, he also told Zhao Rong not to forget today's cultivation, and martial arts cultivation could not be slack for a moment.

The little fox demon was still sulking, feeling that his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Zhao Rong, and his little brain case was still hurting.

Thinking of this, the little fox demon sniffed and glared at Zhao Rong, who was "eyebrows" with Lin Wenruo.

Zhao Rong glanced at his eyes, found someone's rebellious heart, and glared back at her, but he didn't expect the little fox demon to be untimid, puffing out his little face, and his eyes widened.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, how can this angry bag become more and more bold, and now he is being bullied and has begun to resist.

Zhao Rong shook his head and didn't think much about it, put the bookcase into his elegant courtyard surrounded by green willows and strange rocks, and walked around with Lin Wenruo.

"Ziyu, your little brother is a woman. The corners of Lin Wenruo's mouth curled.

"It's a girl. ”

"Just a man's dress is so handsome, if you change back to a woman's outfit......" Lin Wenruo plucked a hibiscus from a branch that broke into the verandah, gently kneaded it, and sprinkled it into the pond next to the road, with a slight ripple, and turned his head and said enviously: "Ziyu is not shallow." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like you think, she's just a stupid girl, stupid, just one person can trick her into dizziness and dizziness, and she can't find the north. In the future, if anyone puts her on the stall, they will not have to watch it every day and work hard day and night. ”

Lin Wenruo didn't hear it, and sighed slightly: "Could it be that men who do good poetry are so popular?" In the past, I was also in the academy, and I was proficient in poetry, which was very popular with women, and I was very popular with teachers, so I was very jealous of my classmates. ”

"Now Ziyu is like this again, attracting beautiful women to post upside down, I really envy me and others. ”

Zhao Rong's eyes widened. "Okay, you Lin Wenruo, if I hadn't heard that you had taken more than a dozen beautiful concubines, I would have really believed in your evil and actually teased me. ”

Although he didn't know who he was retreating from, Zhao Rong could still hear the meaning.

"What did they say about me?" Lin Wenruo blinked.

"They say that you are a hungry ghost in the middle of lust, taking so many beautiful concubines, changing one every day, and being a groom every night. ”

"What does Ziyu think. ”

"They're. ”

"It's still Ziyu who knows me. ”

"It's obviously a big sleep. ”

“......”

The two wandered all the way, passing by the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, passing through the quiet and beautiful pool hall water corridor, and came to Lin Wenruo's study.

The name of the study is said, there is a fast.

Located in a quiet garden, occupies a huge area, there is a large case of pear marble in the room, there are various celebrity laws on the case, and dozens of treasure inkstones, all kinds of pen holders, the pen sea interpolated pen like a wood.

On that side, there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, and a bag full of crystal balls is inserted in the white chrysanthemum. On the west wall hangs a large "Smoke and Rain Picture", and on the left and right hangs a couplet.

"Practice and make a name for yourself, and you will have peace of mind. ”

In the end, the largest area is a collection of books, which occupies almost half of the study.

"There are a little Zhongnan spiritual objects and rare treasures at home, but this is too cheesy for my generation of Confucian students, so I still bring Ziyu to enjoy elegant things. ”

The various scholars in the study room Qinggong made Zhao Rong even more dazzled.

Lin Wenruo chuckled, took out the treasured calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and rare books for Zhao Rong to evaluate, and Zhao Rong read it with relish.

The two are like-minded, so they don't feel bored, time flies by in a hurry, and it is dusk in a blink of an eye, but because it is a rainy day, it seems that the sky is dark, but the Lin Mansion is brightly lit, bright as day.

Zhao Rong said goodbye to Lin Wenruo, refused Lin Wenruo's invitation to the banquet on the grounds of fatigue from the journey, and returned to his residence first.

Lin Wenruo watched Zhao Rong leave, and in his eyes, the latter's figure was pulled by the lights of the corridor for a long time.

"Still won't work. ”

Lin Wenruo exhaled lightly, turned around and returned to the study, walked straight to the desk, and took out a few exquisite and unique scholar's Qinggong alone, with exquisite pen washing, ivory paper cutting knives, and a few more ancient books.

All on their own.

These are the moments that someone's eyes linger on.

Lin Wenruo left the study leisurely and went to the Begonia Hall, where to go, Qin Cheng and other court ministers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that he finally came, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts settled down, as if they had found the backbone of the heart.

"Childe. "The people saluted.

Lin Wenruo smiled and nodded, and then stepped forward to help the oldest old man in the crowd.

"Old Qin, how many times have you said it, you don't need so many courtesies, you are my father's teacher, and you have been helping the Lin family for so many years, why are you still so outside. Lin Wenruo smiled helplessly.

"I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, wait for Huiqing to send some supplements to your house, please don't refuse, your body is important, you can put the matter at hand first." ”

Prime Minister Qin Cheng was flattered, trembling slightly, and said with old tears, he must have done his best for the Lanxi Lin clan and the Zhongnan Society, and he died.

After that, Lin Wenruo chatted with everyone for a while, and then began to discuss business.

An hour later, this private "small pilgrimage meeting" ended, everyone dispersed, and there was only one person left in the Begonia Hall.

Lin Wenruo randomly picked a chair and sat down, closing his eyes and resting.

Even when he was alone, he still sat with his waist straight and sat in a meticulous posture.

He looked left and right at the empty hall, a finger tapping on the back of his chair, and a rhythmic sound echoed through the hall.

"The master guessed right, Qin Shiru does have two hearts, while betting on the master, he secretly shows favor to Qingjingzi, it is the thread drawn by his family's Erlang. In the darkness behind Lin Wenruo, where the light could not shine, a voice came. It is estimated that there are many people like him in the court. ”

"The old rule, send them down. The man in the chair kept moving his fingers, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "Neatly and neatly. ”

"Yes, master, I will send it to the Qin Mansion with the tonic later. ”

"Keep going. ”

"The slave and maid have already ordered it to go down, and everyone is watching. ”

"Well done. ”

"It's the old man who knows things like a god. ”

Then the hall fell silent for a moment, except for a rhythmic sound.

"Sir. ”

Say. ”

"Do you want the slaves and maids you brought back to check on them, especially the Confucian scholar? ”

As soon as the words fell.

The rhythmic sound of light snaps suddenly stopped.

The hall fell silent.
