Further on, I went up a mountain along the stone steps, and suddenly my eyes opened up. Originally, this was a flat land on the mountainside, and it was on this flat land that the academy gradually formed a scale by cutting down trees and digging steps and paving the ground. The dozen or so houses in front of it are the halls of the academy, although they are all simple stone-based wooden structures, but the rows are clean and tidy, simple and natural.

Behind a few rows of flowers and trees is another row of tall wooden houses, which is Meihito Hall. Lin Jue knew that this was the place where the academy was gathering. The mountain chief, the chair, and the Confucian scholars invited from outside sometimes convened students in this large hall for large classes, and it was also a place for important activities in the academy. Far away on the edge of the woodland, a few low houses are the canteens of the academy, but they also cautiously follow the rules of 'gentlemen are far away from cooking'.

After Mingrendo, the houses in the back of the woods are the living quarters. The dormitories for the students are also there. There are many students from outside the Songshan Academy who come to study here, because it is far away from the city, so the college has built dormitories for them to live in.

I didn't see any injuries along the way, but when I arrived at the students' dormitory, there were more people. In the open space in the woods and beside the stone tables and chairs, many young students who were reluctant to leave the academy during the summer break were haunted among them. They stand or stand, or read aloud, or meditate, or sit in a daze.

Lin Jue walked lightly through the forest, he didn't want to disturb these people. Although these people are ordinary students now, Lin Jue knows that among these people, there will be people who will be admitted to the imperial examination soon. In the previous life, before he was admitted to the imperial examination, this Songshan Academy produced many important members of the court. Their names are also engraved on the cliff face of the back mountain one by one. That was the tradition of the academy, but all the students of the academy who were admitted to the imperial examination would engrave their names on the cliff wall of the back mountain under the auspices of the academy. In the previous life, Lin Jue was also among them, but when he was listed, there were already hundreds of names on the cliff.

After passing through the pine and cedar trees, the front becomes open again. A mountain cliff stood in the sky not far away, which was the south cliff of the main peak of Wansong Ridge. The flat land below the cliff is where the professors of the academy live. It is also the quietest and most beautiful place in the whole college. More than a dozen independent huts and courtyards are scattered among the grass and trees under the cliffs, each independent and does not interfere with each other. It's quiet and peaceful, like a paradise.

Lin Jue took Lin Hu straight to the direction of a small lush bamboo forest below the cliff. The fence door of the small courtyard is hidden, and the lintel is crawling with honeysuckle vines, although the flowering period has passed, the green vines are surrounded, and the fat leaves are swaying, and there is still a lingering fragrance at the end of the nose. This situation made Lin Jue very emotional. All this is just like in memory, seeing the scene in front of me, evoking those memories of the previous life.

Through the fence, you can see that there is no one in the yard, and a few vegetable beds in the corner of the yard are full of greenery. Lin Jue knew that it was a vegetable grown by his mother. In the previous life, I helped water and weed in that vegetable bed.

"Is there anyone in the house? Can the mountain be long? Lin Jue tapped lightly on the firewood and shouted loudly.

There was movement in the hut, and a woman appeared at the door of the main house. Holding his hair in a bun, wearing an ordinary dress, he put his hands on a pergola to shield himself from the sun and look at the gate of the courtyard. Lin Jue almost didn't recognize who this woman was, but he soon recognized that this was Mrs. Fang. It's just a lot younger than I remember. After all, eleven years ago, my wife was a woman who was not yet fifty years old, and she did not know their gray-haired appearance at that time. As soon as he saw Mrs. Fang, Lin Jue's heart swelled with a warm current.

"Who are you looking for?" The woman came to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the two young men in front of the door, with a kind smile in her eyes. She was surprised to see that one of the older teenagers had some tears in his eyes.

"To greet my wife, in Xia Lin Jue, I came to visit Fang Shanchang." Lin Jue bowed and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

"It turned out to be Lin Gongzi, are you a student of the academy? I haven't seen you much. The woman smiled and smiled.

Lin Jue took a breath, controlled his emotions, and said honestly: "I am not a student of the academy, I am from Hangzhou City, and I specially asked to see Fang Shanchang." ”

"Oh." The woman understood that such a situation was common for her, and that her husband was very famous and had many students who came to her. It's just that I don't know how this Lin Gongzi entered the academy, because he couldn't bear to be disturbed, he had specially instructed the gatehouse not to let outsiders in, I don't know how they were let in.

"That'...... The old man went to ask, I don't know if he would like to see you. If he doesn't want to see you, please forgive me. The woman said politely. She knew her husband's temper, and if she made the decisions indiscriminately, she was afraid that she would be furious.

"Thank you, old man." Lin Jue arched his hand.

The woman bowed, turned and went into the house. Soon after, he came out with an apologetic face and said to Lin Jue: "Lin Gongzi, I'm very sorry, my husband is studying and I don't want to be disturbed, so I ...... I can only ask the two of you to turn back. The slave family is also very sorry, but it can only be so. ”

Lin Jue didn't have a disappointed expression on his face at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I know that I am presumptuous, and it's no wonder that Mr. doesn't want to see me." In that case, I will come and see you another day. However, I have brought some small courtesy, and please accept them as a sign of my respect for my husband. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand, and Lin Hu took off the bamboo basket he was carrying on his back, lifted the cover, and took out two small wine jars from inside.

"This is the Huadiao wine of Renhe Building. There are only two small altars, please accept them and pay respect. ”

"No, no, no, how to receive your gifts, by all means." The woman waved her hand repeatedly.

Lin Jue said: "It's just two small jars of wine, you don't want to accept it, we have to smash them here." I don't want my little brother to carry them down the mountain again. Although it is only two small jars of wine, it is strange to walk on the mountain road on its back. ”

The woman smacked her lips and hesitated, and Lin Hu shouted, "Auntie, you can take it." Otherwise, I will carry them down the mountain on my back. Just now, my shoulders were red on my back, soaked with sweat, and now I am scorching with pain. ”

The woman looked at the strangulation marks of the two ropes on Lin Hu's shoulder, and she couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, he finally said, "That's it, then leave them behind." Hey, I shouldn't have been. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said goodbye, and said in his heart: Don't worry, your husband will die happily when he sees these two jars of wine. Others may not know it, but I know his weaknesses. He was an avid drinker, especially good wine. Renhetang's golden carving is the best carving wine, and it is his favorite wine. I'm here today to do what he likes.

Lin Jue and Lin Hu returned along the same path. Today seems to be a failure, but Lin Jue thinks it is a success. Although I didn't see Fang Dunru today, the wine was delivered. The master didn't know the preciousness of those two jars of wine, but Fang Dunru knew. The two small jars of gold flower carvings cost twenty taels of silver. The Huadiao wine in Renhe Building is available in limited quantities. Every day, several jars of aged flower carvings that have reached 20 years are taken out of the cellar and sold in small jars, which are in short supply. Xiaohu stayed up until the third watch last night and queued up to buy these two small jars. My wife thought it was ordinary wine, and if she knew such a precious wine, she would not accept it.

Gifts should still start from the family, if Fang Dunru is present today, although he has a good drink, he will definitely refuse to accept it. And the current situation is that he can't refuse it if he wants to. Lin Jue pulled Lin Hu away quickly, not giving his wife a chance to catch up and come back. And the next time I come, the chance of seeing Fang Dunru will be greatly increased.

……

As the sun set, Lin Jue and Lin Hu returned to the Lin Mansion sweating profusely. When they reached the door of their small courtyard, they heard a strange sound coming from the courtyard. As soon as the two of them pushed open the courtyard door, they saw Green Dance rushing towards him with his cloak and hitting Lin Jue's chest.

"What's wrong? Midori Dance, what's wrong with you? Lin Jue asked in surprise.

When Lu Wu looked up and saw that it was Lin Jue returning, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she hugged Lin Jue and cried.

"Little slut, see where you can escape. How dare you bite me, see if I don't knock your teeth out. Lin Quan's embarrassed figure appeared at the door, his left hand covering his right arm, and blood oozed from his fingers.

Lin Jue understood everything. Lin Quan came to harass Green Dance again, this is not the first time. In the previous life, he didn't protect himself effectively, or he didn't intend to provoke Mao Lin Quan at all, so he finally succeeded, so that the harmful Green Dance died, but in this life, Lin Jue would no longer tolerate this happening.

Seeing Lin Juezheng standing at the gate of the courtyard with an angry face and glaring at him, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Quan's face, but he instantly regained his composure. He was fully dressed, coughed like a normal person, passed by Lin Jue like a decent gentleman, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Standing." Lin Jue shouted coldly: "Are you going to leave like this?" Don't want to explain the explanation? ”

Lin Quan stopped, rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "What's there to explain?" I'm just going around, what's the matter? Are you forbidden here? Can't come? ”

Lin Jue said coldly: "Is it just to go around?" Midori Dance, what's going on? Tell me. ”

Lu Wu hugged Lin Jue's arm tightly, and her body trembled freely: "The eldest prince, he ...... Suddenly, he ran in...... Talking in the gossip. I ignored him, and he used ....... I...... I ......"

Midori couldn't go on. In fact, just now, Lin Quan was full of ugliness. It is also tempting with gold and silver jewelry, kneeling and begging, and threatening and intimidating. After being rejected by Green Dance with a cold face, they began to use force, hugging Green Dance with bad intentions. Midori bit him the arm, and then broke free and escaped.

Lin Jue looked at Lin Quandao indifferently: "Did you hear that?" Is what she said true? ”

Lin Quan couldn't deny it, and he didn't think it needed to. I'm just a maid with light intentions, do I still need to explain it? What's more, it's even more unnecessary to explain to Lin Jue.
