At the end of June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, but Lin Jue's body has gradually recovered. Invited by the prince's father and son, Lin Jue went to the palace for banquets several times, but never had the opportunity to meet the little county lord Guo Caiwei. I don't know if it's because of the restrictions of the little prince or because the little county lord doesn't want to see him, since the little county lord arrived when he was seriously ill, Lin Jue hasn't seen her again.

This inevitably made Lin Jue feel a little uneasy in his heart, and the reason for this was unknown. Lin Jue really wanted to see the little county lord, if nothing else, the matter between himself and Gao Muqing had to be told frankly and could not be hidden. As for the consequences of this, Lin Jue had no way to speculate.

Telling her about this matter may hurt the little princess's heart very much, and it will make her disappointed and angry at herself. But concealing this matter is even more deceitful. Lin Jue didn't want to make the little county lord sad, but he didn't want to deceive her, which was another kind of injury, and it was not in line with Lin Jue's way of dealing with the world. As for how this matter was finally resolved, Lin Jue himself was troubled and melancholy. Gao Muqing can't be disappointed, and the little county lord treats him with deep affection and righteousness, which is also mixed with various other factors, which is really a headache.

Another thing that annoyed Lin Jue was that Gao Muqing went back to Guishan Island Cottage to deal with the transformation of the cottage to Zhao'an when she began to recover, but almost half a month has passed, and she hasn't come to Hangzhou yet. This reminded Lin Jue of what Green Dance said that day, Gao Muqing and the little county lord had met, what did the two say when they met, did it cause both of them to want to see him again? This is unknown. In short, things suddenly became a little weird and strange, which made Lin Jue's heart very unstable.

It's okay to have these emotional entanglements, in addition to these, there are more important things lingering in Lin Jue's heart. One of the biggest things is the matter of Lin Ke's bandits.

During this time, Lin Jue has been thinking about how to deal with this matter, and it is absolutely impossible to pretend that he does not know, because this matter will be exposed sooner or later, and if remedial measures are not taken as soon as possible, the Lin family may all be implicated.

Lin Jue has a big principle in his heart about this matter: this matter must not be publicized, it must not be known to outsiders, and if it is to be resolved, it can only be solved within the Lin family, and it must be quickly cut through the chaos. In order to achieve such a result, it is necessary to get Lin Boyong's assistance, Lin Boyong's approval, and Lin Boyong's belief in this matter.

But this matter is by no means a simple report to Lin Boyong that can be solved. Not to mention that Lin Ke is the son of the chief of the long house, the candidate for the future head of the family, and Lin Boyong's most important son. Based on his own understanding of Lin Boyong, if he went to Lin Boyong to talk about this matter directly, it was likely to be considered that he had deliberately framed him. Although his status in the Lin family is no longer the person who was bullied in the past, especially after he has done a few big things, Lin Boyong also has a sense of awe for himself. But this matter is related to his biological son, and without conclusive evidence, it is difficult for him to believe the fact that Lin Ke was a bandit.

However, the trouble is that Lin Jue does not have this kind of conclusive evidence in his hands that makes Lin Boyong believe. There is no human or material evidence, and some are just a few stories from Xu Xing's mouth. Although in Lin Jue's view, all those things can be corresponded seamlessly, and the fact that Lin Ke was a bandit can be completely proved, it is absolutely impossible to use this kind of story to convince Lin Boyong.

Because of this, Lin Jue felt that this matter was very difficult.

In addition to this incident, there is another danger that threatens oneself and those around you is also extremely troublesome. That's the threat from Hai Dongqing.

Although the bandits won a complete victory, Hai Dongqing did not die. If he doesn't die, the danger will still exist, and it will be greater than before, after all, this time he not only ruined his whole family, but also ruined the cottage he worked so hard to run. If Hai Dongqing can spare himself, then he is not Hai Dongqing anymore.

Although the father and son of King Liang and the prefect Yan Zhengsu all made promises, and the little prince arranged more than a dozen palace guards around the forest house to protect them, Yan Zhengsu also carried out a city-wide search after returning to Hangzhou, and strengthened the registration and inspection of entering and leaving the city to ensure that the bandits would not retaliate. However, these measures are only preventive measures after all, and they do not cure the symptoms. Moreover, Lin Jue did not believe that these methods could prevent the pirates from entering the city to retaliate. After all, the pirates have been in business for so many years, and I don't know how many pirates are hidden in the city. If the stern and solemn measures are really effective, then why is Lin Ke still at large? Suffice it to say that these methods are only a form of deterrence, and that the real danger is imminent, and these are not effective.

These two things are the real big stones in Lin Jue's heart, compared to these things, the emotional entanglement is a trivial matter. If Lin Ke's bandit matter is exposed, or Hai Dongqing's revenge thunders, and he and the Lin family can't even save their lives, what else can they talk about?

On June 26, Lin Jue returned to Songshan Academy after a more than a month of absence. Although the academy was going to take a summer break in a few days, and the teaching had stopped in the past few days, Fang Dunru also asked Lin Hu to bring a message to Lin Jue, so that he would not come to the academy to visit him and recuperate at home. But Lin Jue still changed his robe and wore a square scarf as usual, and asked Xiaohu to carry the bookcase to the academy.

In the middle of summer, the college is cool and pleasant, and under the shade of tall ancient trees, the college is quiet.

Occasionally, there are students shuttling back and forth between the schools, and there are more students from afar and students with bookcases who are about to leave the academy and go home, and friends say goodbye in the pavilion under the shade of the trees, and say some goodbye. Lin Jue walked in the academy, his mood was very happy and peaceful, and the troubles in his heart were also left behind. Lin Jue suddenly understood Fang Dunru's feelings, this place of the academy is indeed a quiet place, not only the tranquility of the environment, but the tranquility of the human heart. Although the students here come with the goal of entering the office, their hearts are still very pure, and their minds are only on studying, and there is nothing to deceive them. Mr. Fang retreated from the imperial court and came here to establish a academy to live in seclusion, probably because of this peace of mind.

The mountain behind the academy is still the same as before, although it has not been there for several months, but Lin Jue is familiar with Lin Jue with his eyes closed. Everything here is the same as before, except that there is a lovely girl missing from the gentleman's courtyard not far away. This has always been a point that Lin Jue is not comfortable with, so after learning that Fang Huanqiu has passed away, Lin Jue tried to avoid coming here more often. And Fang Dunru seemed to understand him very well, and he usually said anything in the school of the front academy, and did not ask him to go home. In the past, Fang Dunru often asked Lin Jue to accompany him to read and help him transcribe and sort out the manuscripts, but Fang Dunru never mentioned this request again after the year.

The footsteps of Lin Jue and Lin Hu startled a group of sparrows in front of the Fang family's small courtyard, they flew up with a hula and their wings vibrating, and the sound of their wings vibrating alarmed a person reading under the jujube tree in the courtyard. Fang Dunru, who was holding a roll in one hand and a fan in the other, stood up and looked towards the door, and saw Lin Jue and Lin Hu standing at the door with sweat, and suddenly opened his mouth in shock.

"Ahh Lin Jue? What are you doing here? Didn't you bring a message asking you not to be tired and go up the mountain? Madam...... Madam, Lin Jue is here! Fang Dunru shouted loudly, and his voice was a little loud.

There was a panic in the house, and when Mrs. Fang hurriedly went out, the girl in the east wing was hurriedly getting up from the chair and preparing to escape, and she didn't forget to open the curtain and take a few glances at the two people who walked into the courtyard.

Lin Jue felt very strange, Mr. Fang's voice was very loud, so loud that it was a little exaggerated, as if he was afraid that the people in the room would not be able to hear. There's no need to be so loud. Mrs. Fang's expression was a little flustered, and although her eyes were full of smiles, she seemed to be hiding some secret.

"Oh, Lin Jue is here, on this hot day, didn't your husband tell you not to come? Your husband and I said in the morning, after two days of summer break in the academy, let's go to Lin's house to see you again. Mrs. Fang stepped forward with a smile, her eyes shining with a motherly light.

"How dare you work Mr. and Mrs., the last time Mr. and Mrs. went to see me, I couldn't get up and salute, I really felt uneasy. Now that I am basically healed, why should I come to visit my teacher and wife? Lin Jue smiled and stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Mrs. Fang smiled: "Good boy, good boy." I heard Xiaohu say that you are well, and we are also very happy. Some time ago, your husband couldn't sleep at night, so he got up at night and walked outside, sighing for a long time. I haven't seen him worry so much, I was sick that year, and I was in pain when I was lying in bed, and your husband wasn't snoring yet, he didn't ...... at all."

"Madam......" Fang Dunru frowned and coughed twice.

Mrs. Fang laughed and said, "That's it, don't talk about it, you see, if he says it, he should blame my woman for talking too much." It's all a family, what are you afraid of? ”

Lin Jue's heart was warm, Fang Dunru was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he couldn't see anything on weekdays. But his wife's words show that he cares about himself very much.

"Hmm...... Good complexion, just a lot of weight loss. But I'm thinner, more energetic, and more like a man. Mrs. Fang looked at Lin Jue's face.

Lin Jue was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Master, look at what I brought to you." Xiaohu, take things down, you are really silly, and you are still carrying them on your back when you get to the place, and you are not too tired. ”

Lin Hu hurriedly agreed, and unloaded the full bamboo basket.

"Golden Flower Carving Wine, Mr. Favorite. Shu embroidered brocade, for the master's wife. These are melons, fruits, peaches and pears, and it is hot in summer, so eat more of these to reduce the fire and cool off. Master, this is the seedling of the peony flower you want, the authentic Luoyang peony. Xiaohu said that you want to plant a bunch of peonies in the back garden, but I got the seedlings from the palace. Lin Jue took it out one by one.

Mrs. Fang smiled from ear to ear, holding a Shu brocade in her hand, looking at the small seedlings of peony flowers, and sighed in her mouth: "Look, as soon as Lin Jue comes, we have everything." It is really filial. Your husband hasn't drunk Golden Huadiao wine for more than a month, and his temper has grown a lot. This time, he got his wish. ”

Mrs. Fang's words were interrupted by Fang Dunru's coughing sound again, but Fang Dunru's gaze really didn't leave the jars of Huadiao wine.

When the courtyard was lively, there was a sudden noise in the house, like the sound of tables and chairs toppling, and the sound of plates and dishes breaking. A figure rushed out of the back door like a frightened bunny.

"Anyone at home?" Lin Jue heard the sound and looked into the room in surprise.
