Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Jue decided to go to the Yushitai Yamen to find Fang Dunru today. ◢ With *Dream * Little ◢.1a On the one hand, I have something to say, on the other hand, since my wife is not at home, I should take my husband to live for a few days, and I don't know how my husband eats and drinks these days, and where he lives. You should care about it.

When he was about to go out, an uninvited guest came to the jujube garden. The little prince Guo Kun came to the jujube garden with a few entourages. Lin Jue heard the news and hurriedly went to the front yard to greet him, but the little prince Guo Kun didn't even enter the door, and the horse didn't get off, but only rode a horse and stood at the door.

"Why is the little prince here? Why don't you get off the horse and come in for a cup of tea? Lin Jue went out with a smile on his hand.

"No need, I have to go to the barracks on duty, pass by here, say a few words to you and leave." Guo Kun said expressionlessly.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I don't know what to order?" ”

Guo Kun said: "It's nothing, do you know about my father's visit to Beijing?" ”

"Cai Wei...... Well...... The little lord told me that I plan to visit the prince in the next few days. Lin Jue said.

"You don't have to go to see me. Father is very busy these days, and if he wants to see you, he will send someone to invite you. That one...... My sister-in-law will accompany my father these days, so she doesn't have time to come out and run around, she wants me to bring you a message, she has no time during this time, so she can't come...... Looking for you. That one...... That's it.,I'm afraid that you'll go to Daxiangguo Temple and don't know where she went.,So let me tell you.。 Okay, I'm done with what I have to say, I have to go. Guo Kun groaned and said a few words, and then took his leave.

Looking at the figure of Guo Kun galloping away on horseback, Lin Jue had some doubts in his heart. The fact that the prince came to the capital is a bit strange in itself, and there should be some reason why he has to come, otherwise he would rather stay in Hangzhou. It is also a very strange thing that Guo Caiwei has not been seen in the past few days, Guo Caiwei should come to see him after the end of the Spring Exam, why did he not pick him up outside the Gongyuan that day, and there was no news at all yesterday. With my own understanding of Guo Caiwei, this is a bit abnormal.

Since coming to the capital to get together with Guo Caiwei, although they live in two places, Guo Caiwei will come to find her every day. When the two of them were like glue and inseparable, they suddenly disappeared, and asked Guo Kun to inform him, which was even more strange. Even if he didn't have time to come, he shouldn't let Guo Kun inform himself. Although Guo Kun's attitude is a little loose now, he is only turning a blind eye, and Guo Kun, the main county leader, came to pass the word, isn't this deliberately provoking Guo Kun's unhappiness? So, the whole thing doesn't make sense.

Could it be that something happened to the little county lord? Lin Jue couldn't help but start thinking about it.

……

He Xiaohu went to visit the Yamen of Yushitai again, although he still pounced, but he also got good news: Fang Dunru stayed in the yamen last night.

With this news, Lin Jue decided to come back in the evening, and no matter how many watches he waited for today, he would have to see Fang Dunru. On the way back, Lin Jue turned to the residence of the little county lord of Daxiangguo Temple, wanting to see if the little county lord was there. But the doorman told Lin Jue that the little county lord hadn't lived here for a few days. This also confirms Guo Kun's words from the side, the little county lord should live in the old palace to accompany Guo Bing, the king of Liang, and he can't see him for the time being.

Lin Jue felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. Although if you think about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But judging from Guo Kun's tone and demeanor this morning, as well as the sudden disappearance of the little county lord, and even the behavior of not sending someone to deliver a letter, it always feels like something is wrong. This feeling has always lingered.

I couldn't see the little county lord, I couldn't see Fang Dunru, and even my wife went to visit relatives. The spring exam is over, and I am not in the mood to go home to study. Suddenly, Lin Jue had nothing to do. Back in the apricot orchard, Lu Wu was also busy with her own affairs, Xiaohu was busy chopping wood to feed the horses, and Lin Jue sat under the big tree in the backyard drinking tea until his stomach was swollen. It's a feeling that can be described as boring. However, this feeling of boredom is a rare luxury for Lin Jue. Since leaving Hangzhou, Lin Jue has rarely had such a quiet and quiet moment. The treacherous tension in Funiu Mountain, the noise of the capital, the pressure of interpersonal relationships, all kinds of things made Lin Jue rarely have a quiet time. At this time, this half-day of tranquility allowed Lin Jue to empty his mind and purely enjoy the good time of early summer, which gave Lin Jue's tired spirit and body a rare relief.

In the evening, Lin Jue and Lin Hu took the carriage again to the Yamen of the Yushitai. When we arrived at the Imperial Tower, it was the time of sunset. In the evening, the light of the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory is dim and even more gloomy. Flocks of crows rise and fall in the dark sky, and the noise of owls is chilling. Eventually, they landed on the tall soaphorn trees in the courtyard of the Imperial Tower, forming black dots that stood still.

Lin Jue and Lin Hu waited in the small square in front of the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Tower. The sky slowly became completely dark, and it was as if the surrounding area was covered in darkness. But not long after, with Lin Jue and Lin Hu standing as the boundary, in the distance to the west is the brightly lit Xihua Gate Tower, and the bright lights can clearly illuminate the city tower and the forbidden army guards walking up and down the city wall. The light of the iron-clad weapon occasionally flickered and blinded. But when he turned his head to look at the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory to the east, it was a dark house, sitting in the darkness like a man-swallowing monster. The two wind lamps in front of the door only glowed white.

Less than 200 steps together, there are two worlds. One is the brilliant Imperial Palace, and the other is the gloomy Imperial Palace. People say that architecture has life, and this is the case.

The uncle and nephew waited until the second watch was more leaky, and they both felt that it might be another empty time, but they saw a lantern swaying in the darkness on the south side of the square. The lights are accompanied by the sound of squeaky cars and horses. The cart soon approached, rickety and shabby, and the lanterns on the wheels swayed back and forth with the wagon's swaying. It was a thin mule that pulled the cart, and it was the big cart of Yan Zhengsu.

Lin Jue hurriedly jumped out of the car to meet him, stopped at the car and shouted, "Is there a teacher in the car?" ”

The mule cart stopped, and Fang Dunru's tall figure got out of the car and walked into the lights in front of the car. "Lin Jue? How are you? What are you doing here at such a late hour? ”

"The student is waiting for him here. I can see Mr., I looked for Mr. yesterday and didn't find him for a day. No one at home ......."

"Hehe, your wife went to her mother's house to visit relatives, and forgot to send someone to tell you. How? Is there something wrong with the rush to find me? Fang Dunru said with a smile.

Lin Jue said: "The big exam is over, so naturally I want to come to the teacher to report it." ”

"It turned out to be this. Then there is no need to report it, I know the situation, and Lord Yan has told me. Yes, you did well in the exam this time, and both Shengshang and Lord Yan were full of praise, and I also heard about the article, which is indeed very good. Didn't disgrace me. But don't be complacent, there is no end to learning, and you need to be encouraged to work hard. If you are in high school after the release of the list, you will be an official, and you must be cautious and not relax yourself. Fang Dunru smiled and patted Lin Jue's shoulder and said.

"Thank you, sir, students for following his teachings." Lin Jue saluted.

"Okay, is that all? I know. I have had a lot of affairs these days, and your wife is not at home, so I live in the yamen. It just so happens that there is still business to be attended. The hour is not too early, so I will not keep you, you can go back. Fang Dunru said.

Lin Jue rolled his eyes, he looked for him for two days, and after meeting, he dismissed it with such an understatement. Although he didn't have the idea of letting Fang Dunru praise himself, but he won the emperor's praise in the spring exam, and he was likely to win the championship, and Mr. should be more excited than now. Hey, I'm no one as a teacher.

"Sir, living in the yamen is not a problem, my wife is not at home, my husband will go to live with me for a few days, and someone will take care of my daily life. How can it be convenient for a gentleman to live in the yamen? Lin Jue said.

"No need, no need, it's very good in the yamen. My public house is very spacious, and your wife sewed a new bedding for me to bring. At night, you can put together the table and fall asleep. There are handymen in the courtyard gate, and it's okay to run errands and buy food, so I won't go to you. Your filial piety teacher knows, but doesn't have to. Fang Dunru said with a smile.

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "It's still not very convenient, how can you sleep well in this yamen?" ”

"You kid, if I say yes, it's okay. I still have business to do, so I won't talk to you. After this while, let's talk to the master and apprentice. I have to go, and I guess I'll be busy until the fourth watch tonight. Go ahead, leave me alone. Fang Dunru said with a smile, patted Lin Jue's shoulder and turned back.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Sir! ”

"What's wrong? What's going on? I said I wouldn't go to you, I still have a lot of things to do. Lin Jue, do you have something to say? Fang Dunru looked back and frowned.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I do have something to tell Mr. ”

Fang Dunru pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, go in and talk." This is not the place to talk. ”

Lin Jue followed Fang Dunru into the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Tower, came to the back of Fang Dunru's public house and sat down, after the miscellaneous servants served tea, Lin Jue got up and covered the door and turned around to stand in front of Fang Dunru.

Fang Dunru looked up at him and said, "What? What the hell is going on, looking at your mysterious appearance, it doesn't seem simple. ”

"Sir, maybe the student shouldn't have mentioned it, but the student had to. Yesterday I went to see the second uncle. Hearing what he said, I would like to ask my husband for verification. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Fang Dunru frowned, thoughtful. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"That's the case, I heard my second uncle say that you participated in the performance of the three divisions and yamen officials in the court yesterday, is this true?"

Fang Dunru frowned and said, "What did Lin Bonian tell you about such a thing?" Isn't that a break in the rules? You are not an official of the court, how can you tell you about the affairs of the court? ”

Lin Jue didn't speak, just looked at Fang Dunru quietly. Fang Dunru paused and frowned and nodded, "That's it, it's true." But it doesn't matter to you, you don't have to ask. ”

Lin Jue said: "Sir, I have forgotten that I am a member of the Lin family, and of course this matter has something to do with me." The second uncle is the head of my Lin family, and his affairs are related to the whole family of my Lin family, and of course they are also related to me. ”

Fang Dunru said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, the old man naturally knows that you are all members of the Lin family, and it is understandable that you care about this matter." But the old man's impeachment of the officials of the three divisions and yamen is a matter of things, not a person, whether he is the head of your Lin family, not your Lin family, it is not the standard of the old man's actions. You don't understand. ”
