For two days in a row, the wind and rain were blowing.

This kind of weather is not uncommon in coastal or coastal cities after the beginning of summer. People of this era called it a hurricane, but in fact it was called a typhoon by later generations. In this kind of weather, basically no one goes out, everyone huddles in the house, praying that the wind god and the rain god will calm down, hoping that the storm will not bring greater disasters.

Lin Jue's small courtyard also suffered. The rain was so heavy that it almost flooded the ground of the small courtyard. Fortunately, the drainage system of the Lin family's mansion was done well, and after Lin Jue found that the courtyard was flooded, he and Lin Hu braved the rain to clean the drainage ditch full of fallen leaves and silt, so as not to let the house pour water. But the flowers and plants in the yard were soaked, and the flower beds were soaked in water, and the flowers and trees inside were soaked in water. Coupled with the devastation of the wind and rain, the night came, a miserable scene of green, fat, red and thin. This made Midori Dance sad.

In the early morning of the third day, the wind and rain stopped. Although there were still stratus clouds flying in the sky, the gaps between the clouds were already revealing the blue sky. Anyone with experience knows that this hurricane is a thing of the past. These clouds may rain a few drops, but they are not long enough. The work that has been delayed for two days needs to be done quickly, and the losses of the two days must be made up for as soon as possible. So after the hurricane, the city suddenly became busier and more lively.

Lin Jue didn't feel anything, reading books, drinking tea, and chatting with the green dance Lin Hu in the house, but it was nothing. While he was free, Lin Jue also tried to teach Lin Hu to read and write. However, what disappointed Lin Jue was that Lin Hu was simply a big bluestone in reading, and his brain was like an elm pimple, and he didn't know anything after teaching him for a long time, which made Lin Jue very discouraged.

But the unexpected joy is that the green dance who was listening to it on the side was very smart, Lin Hu didn't know it, but she did. Lin Jue was pleasantly surprised, and decided to teach Green Dance to read and write, and gave up teaching Lin Hu. Lin Hu himself was also relieved, reading was simply an unbearable drudgery for him, and he preferred to work as a coolie, which was better than holding a pen.

After the hurricane stopped two days later, although the flowers and trees in the yard had lost a lot, there was an extra banner on the bedside of Green Dance that read "Green Dance Qianqian" written by herself. It was a word that Lin Jue came up with based on her name. Lu Wu wrote down the first calligraphy work in her life and pasted it on the bedside as a souvenir.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Lin Jue and Lin Hu packed up and prepared to go out. Before leaving, Lin Jue told Lu Wu to close the courtyard door to prevent Lin Quan's family from breaking into trouble again. Green Dance nodded in agreement, and after Lin Jue and Lin Hu left, he took the wood-splitting axe to the place where he could easily handle it under the corridor. If the eldest prince Lin Quan came to harass again, she decided to use this axe to defend her dignity like the child.

Walking on the streets, after two days of strong wind and rain, the whole city was cleaned. Although there are many scenes of houses collapsing and trees breaking, after the wind and rain, the air is refreshed, the dust on the ground is washed away, and the summer heat in the air seems to have eased a lot.

The water of the West River rose several feet, and the wharf was full of people, and the boats were densely parked beside the wharf. Countless coolies were busy loading and unloading the goods like ants. The businessmen and proprietors were urging loudly that they must hurry up to make up for the delay caused by the hurricane, and they must recover the two-day delay. In the middle of the river, large and small ships laden with goods shuttle back and forth. Mountains of goods gathered from all over the world, and from here they traveled north through the canal to the cities of the Great Zhou. This scene is exciting, this is a city full of vitality, and this is also an era full of vitality.

Lin Jue and Lin Hu still went south along Xihe Street to Songshan Academy. Today, Lin Jue's goal was to meet Fang Dunru and get his approval. Lin Jue walked all the way and paid attention to the situation behind him, and this time there seemed to be no one to watch. I don't know if it was the act of buying and beating people that day that had an effect, or if it was that the Lin family was very busy after the hurricane, so someone forgot to send someone to keep an eye on him.

Smoothly went out of the city and climbed up the mountainside of Wansongling to reach Songshan Academy. The gatehouse of the academy had already met Lin Jue, and after a few words, he let the two of them in, and soon the two of them were already standing in front of the small courtyard of the academy mountain, Fang Dunru.

The flowers and trees in the small courtyard have also been damaged by the wind and rain for two days. A small piece of the fence wall fell, and the vegetable furrows in the garden were crooked. It looks a little miserable.

Lin Jue dressed up, knocked on the chai door, and shouted, "Dare to ask Fang Shan Chang if he is there?" In Xia Lin Jue, come to visit. ”

A slender figure appeared at the door of the hut, and a girl in a green dress poked her head out and looked at the courtyard gate in surprise. Lin Jue was also very surprised, when did there be a girl in the mountain chief's house? However, Lin Jue quickly remembered one thing. In the previous life, when I followed Fang Dunru to study, I seemed to have heard that Fang Dunru and his wife had a daughter named Huanqiu. It's just that at that time, this Miss Huanqiu had already died, and it seemed that she was seriously ill. This matter hit the couple very hard. I've only heard of her, but I've never met her. Calculate the time, this is eleven years ago, is this girl the daughter of the Fang family who is still alive? I'm afraid it's very likely.

The girl in the green skirt carried her skirt and carefully stepped on the bluestone path to the gate of the courtyard, and saw a handsome young man standing in front of the door looking at herself intently, with a trace of shyness and anger flashing on her face.

"Dare to ask who Childe is? What are you looking for my daddy? The girl asked.

Sure enough, it is the daughter of the Fang family, and a sentence of father is enough to confirm it. Lin Jue silently scored the girl in his heart. On a ten-point scale, eight points or more. Although the girl's clothes are simple, she is delicate and quiet, and her appearance is beautiful. She seems to have a hint of bookish air on her body, and the daughter of the great Confucian in the world is naturally the result of the cultivation of the family.

"Oh. In Xia Lin Jue, he came to see Fang Shanchang. Lin Jue bowed.

"Lin Jue? You are the Lin Gongzi who came the day before yesterday to give two jars of wine? The girl Huanqiu asked with a glaring at Meimu.

Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "It is under the bottom, a small gift is not a tribute." ”

"Do you know that because of those two jars of wine, my mother has been counted down by my father for two days. And it's not a small gift, your two jars of Huadiao wine are 20-year-old Huadiao wine that Renhetang supplies in limited quantities, and they are worth a lot of money. My mother didn't know that this wine was precious, you deliberately tricked her into accepting it. The girl Huanqiu frowned and said coldly.

Lin Jue scratched his head and said, "I just want to show a little bit of affection." No matter what kind of wine it is, it's all drunk, and I didn't lie to Lingtang about anything. I didn't expect this matter to make Mr. unhappy and make Lingtang responsible. I would like to apologize to Lingtang in person. ”

The girl Fang Huanqiu looked at Lin Jue coldly and said, "I'm sorry, my father and mother are not at home, you can't see them." ”

Lin Jue was stunned and said, "Where did Lingzun Lingtang go?" When will you be back? ”

Fang Huanqiu frowned and said, "My mother went to Hangzhou City to buy something." My father was asked to go to the city to meet his friends. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back in the morning. It's also early afternoon when I'm going to come back. ”

Lin Jue smacked his lips speechlessly, thought for a while, and said, "In this case, we will wait here for Ling Zun to come back." Xiaohu, put down the back basket, and the two of us will help repair the bamboo fence. ”

Lin Hu agreed, hung the basket on the branch in front of the door, rolled up his sleeves and followed Lin Jue to start repairing a few crooked bamboo fences. The girl Huanqiu looked at these two acquaintances in surprise, and had the intention to stop them, but after thinking about it, she sneered and turned away. She doesn't know how much she has seen such courteous things, and those students in the academy like to come to offer their hospitality when they have nothing to do, and this young man is also a number of people with them. He loves to be attentive and let him, anyway, he is willing to do it.

Fang Huanqiu returned to the house and sat in his father's study to take a book to read, and unconsciously read it for more than an hour. Suddenly I remembered to see how the two dedicated young men were doing outside, so I pushed open the screen window and looked outside. The moment I opened the screen window, a wave of heat hit, but I saw the white sun outside shining on the ground. Look at the two teenagers who have repaired the bamboo fence from the direction of the courtyard gate to the fence on the side. The crooked bamboo fence has been restored to neatness, and the young man named Lin Jue also came up with some tricks to build the bamboo fence obliquely and diagonally, forming a beautiful pattern.

The two teenagers were sweating all over their faces, and their clothes were also soaked with sweat. Lin Jue took off his coat and put on his middle coat, rolled up his sleeves and worked attentively, looking very focused.

Fang Huanqiu closed the window, sat and thought about it, got up, made a pot of herbal tea, took two teacups, and walked out. Although they did it themselves, after all, they were helping their own work, and the sun was so hot that they should send them some tea.

"Lin Gongzi, drink saliva. Why are you so troubled? Fang Huanqiu placed the teacup on the stone slab and poured two cups of tea.

Lin Jue tied a diagonal bamboo strip with a rope, got up and wiped his sweat and smiled: "Thank you, girl." Xiaohu, thank you girl for enjoying the tea. ”

Lin Hu hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, picked up the tea and drank it dry, and he didn't need Fang Huanqiu to pour the tea, he picked up the teapot and poured water, and drank three cups in a row, and then sighed with satisfaction: "It's so comfortable." ”

Lin Jue also took the teacup and drank the tea slowly, pointed to the bamboo fence with the crossed pattern that had changed its appearance, and said, "Does the girl think this pattern is beautiful?" ”

Fang Huanqiu blurted out that it was good-looking, but changed his words again: "It's good or not, you have already made your own opinion, what can you do?" ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Yes, I made my own decisions. But I'm not just looking good. Bamboo hedges that are tied diagonally and diagonally are much stronger than those that stand upright. I did this to prevent the next hurricane from coming and destroying the bamboo fence. ”

Fang Huanqiu frowned and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Lin Jue pointed to the bamboo fence and said, "You know the stability of the triangle...... Not...... Forget it, you'll know I'm not talking nonsense when the next hurricane comes. ”

The girl Huanqiu was confused when she heard what triangle was stable or something. But seeing that Lin Jue himself seemed to be unable to explain it, he was a little honest and cute, and he couldn't help laughing.

Lin Jue also looked at the girl stupidly and smiled. Huanqiu and Lin Jue looked at each other, suddenly a little shy, and hurriedly lowered their heads to clean up the teapot and teacups and turned around and went back to the house. The teenager's smile was kind and warm, which made her a little flustered.

"Girl, the fence will be repaired in a moment. Later, I'll go into the yard and dig a few drains to drain the dirty water from your yard. The next time it rains heavily, it won't be waterlogged. Do you have a shovel at home? Lin Jue shouted from behind.

Fang Huanqiu turned his head and smiled slightly: "Are you planning to be a coolie for a day?" There are shovels, shovels, hammers, and firewood knives at home, why don't you go and help my family chop some firewood in a while? ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "It's an honor." ”
