The person who reported the report soon returned to the door and reported to the leader of the man: "Your Excellency, please let him in." ”

The leading man nodded, turned around and said to Lin Jue: "Young Master Lin, please go in and see my lord, my lord is waiting for you." ”

Lin Jue nodded and was about to walk into the courtyard, but the big man grabbed Lin Jue and stretched out a palm in front of Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was surprised: "What do you want to do?" ”

The big man frowned and said, "Isn't Gongzi Lin going to hand over the firearms on his body?" I don't want to offend you and search your body, Lin Gongzi still consciously handed it over. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly, reached out and untied the holster on his waist, handed the Wang Ba box to the man, turned around and took a step back and instructed: "You can't move around, this thing is very dangerous, you don't know how to fiddle, if it breaks out and hurts your own life, don't blame me for being unpredictable." ”

The big man was already about to open the holster and take it out, but he was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly buckled the holster and held it carefully in his hand. Lin Jue was happy and walked into the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard closes behind it, and the courtyard is not large, but the trees inside are lush, blocking the sunlight from the west, giving people a sense of loneliness and coldness. This should be a backyard, and the door to enter should be the back door, because according to the layout, the front yard is generally not planted with too many trees and flowers. Soon, a circular vertical door in front proved Lin Jue's guess, if it was the front yard, it should go straight to the main house or the front hall, and there could be no wall and vertical door, this is the back garden of a house facing north and south.

Walking slowly along the gravel path to the vertical door, there seemed to be a figure shaking in the shade of the surrounding trees, and several vigilant eyes fell on Lin Jue's body. Lin Jue didn't think it was strange, after all, he knew from the battle of these men who 'invited' him to come that the status of the person who wanted to see him was not low, and the people hidden in the shadows in these courtyards must be his guards. Those big men outside seem to have a very low status, they seem to be only responsible for running errands outside, and they are not qualified to be personal guards. This couldn't help but make Lin Jue even more curious about the person he wanted to see. This is not a small person.

Walk into the vertical door, there is a small pond in front of you, several green willows next to it hang low, there are two craggy rockeries not far away, the path bypasses the side of the rockery, you can't see the situation behind the rockery, but at this moment there is a faint sound of the piano.

Lin Jue walked forward slowly, and after a while, he arrived at the side of the rockery, and finally saw the blocked scene. Behind the rockery is an octagonal wooden corridor, under the corridor, a person in a white robe is draped in hair, is pitching up and stroking the qin, a pleasant and complacent appearance.

Lin Jue only glanced at it a few times and immediately recognized this person, this one was Wu Chunlai, the head of the official house from the capital. His own senior brother who betrayed his master.

Lin Jue was both surprised and disappointed. I was surprised that Wu Chunlai was still in Hangzhou City, and I didn't get any news of him during this time, thinking that he had left Hangzhou, but I didn't expect that seven or eight days had passed since August 15, and he was still in Hangzhou City, and I didn't know what the purpose of staying here was. I was disappointed that I thought that the person who invited me to such a big show was an unknown mysterious person, but I didn't expect it to be just Wu Chunlai. Lin Jue didn't want to see Wu Chunlai, after all, this person had a despicable character, and Lin Jue didn't want to have too much intersection with this person.

Seeing Lin Jue appear, Wu Chunlai pressed the strings with both hands, and the sound of the piano died down. He stood up with a smile on his face. shook his long flowing hair, and arched his hand with a smile: "Is the little junior brother here?" Come on, come on. ”

Lin Jue had goosebumps with his address and affection, how could this person still call himself a junior brother calmly, it was really shameless. But out of politeness, Lin Jue still bowed and said, "Lin Jue has seen Lord Wu." ”

"Come on, come on, come in and sit. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Wu Chunlai greeted warmly, walked to the steps of the octagonal wooden corridor with long sleeves, and waved his hand with his sleeves. Lin Jue looked at Wu Chunlai's figure, but he also had to admire Wu Chunlai's tall and plump posture, although he was already nearly forty people, he was handsome, beautiful and elegant, and had a kind of demeanor between his gestures. If he hadn't known what he had done to betray and frame the teacher, I am afraid that he would immediately have the intention of making friends.

Lin Jue slowly walked up the wooden steps and came to Wu Chunlai's side. Wu Chunlai stepped forward and grabbed Lin Jue's arm, pulled Lin Jue and walked inside.

Lin Jue frowned and struggled slightly, broke free of Wu Chunlai's hand holding him, and took a step to keep his distance. Wu Chunlai's complexion changed, his eyes flashed, and he immediately returned to normal. Pointing to a wooden chair next to the desk, he smiled and said, "Little junior brother, sit down and talk, the tea is freshly brewed, try it." ”

Lin Jue nodded and thanked him, and the two sat down one after another.

Wu Chunlai smiled and said, "Little junior brother, I can see you." After the night of August 15, I thought of inviting you to join us. Today, you and my brothers can finally gather here. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said: "Lord Wu, Lin Jue is a grass people, how can he be so honored, my lord loves it." The way adults invite people to meet me is really unique, and they sent people to block the road and kidnap me, this is the first time I have seen this way of inviting people to meet. ”

Wu Chunlai smiled and said, "No way, do you know how difficult it is to meet the little junior brother?" I heard that you closed your door, a group of scholars from the Hanlin Academy in the capital, and a group of celebrities from the Daimyo Mansion in Kaifeng, Luoyang, wanted to be close to you, but you refused. These people all have heads and faces, but this time they have lost face in Hangzhou. In private, I don't say that you are very arrogant. When I heard about this, I felt that if I sent a post to invite me, the little junior brother might not appreciate his face. I'm a person who doesn't like to be turned down, so I ...... I heard that the junior brother went to see Yan Zhengsu, so I ordered someone to block you on the street. How? Are those people rude to you? If so, I will rebuke them. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "I see, it seems that it was my mistake, I just wanted to study behind closed doors to prepare for the autumn exam." I wasn't very sociable, and I didn't know any of them, so I turned them all down, and now it seems that I'm not famous, but notorious. ”

Wu Chunlai smiled and nodded: "The little junior brother is only eight years old, and he already has the capital to be proud. Those people are all defeated at your hands, and they are really not worth befriending. When they love to get angry, they get angry, and the little junior brother doesn't have to deal with them. At most, I can arrange a few words behind your back, but what can I do? It's just a bunch of rubbish. ”

Lin Jue smiled silently. Wu Chunlai continued: "The little junior brother was really amazing that night, and the master is really as wise as a torch, how did he find your piece of good talent and beautiful jade." Sir must love you very much. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Mr. is very good to me, but he is not very loving. But my sister loves me more. ”

Wu Chunlai sighed lightly, with a look of envy in his expression, and said softly: "Yes, the master is very good." The glutinous rice dumplings made by Shi Niang are delicious, have you ever eaten them? ”

Lin Jue said: "Of course I have eaten, every time I go, my sister will make it for me to eat, it is really delicious." ”

Wu Chunlai nodded, as if he was a little sad.

"Back then, my mother also made it for me every day, it was glutinous and sweet, and it was so delicious that I smacked my lips at night. Hey, I haven't eaten the glutinous rice dumplings made by my sister for many years. I'll tell you the truth, I've always dreamed of that delicious taste. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Lord Wu called me here today, is that what he said?" ”

Wu Chunlai said: "What, is there anything wrong with our senior brothers talking?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Lord Wu......"

Wu Chunlai waved his hand and said: "Don't want to be an adult, you and I are from the same school, I call you junior brother, you should call me senior brother." Right now, it's a gathering of you and my brothers, what kind of adults are called, isn't it a birth. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Don't dare to be." ”

Wu Chunlai glared at Lin Jue and said, "What do you mean?" You don't dare to be, do you think I'm not worthy of letting you call me a senior brother? ”

Lin Jue thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wu, let's not talk about this, so as not to be embarrassed." Adults are no longer protégés of Fangmen, so why pretend to miss the old love? When the adults see what I want to say, they say, you don't have to go around playing any emotional cards, to be honest, I wasn't interested in the previous entanglement between you and Mr., and I was not born at that time. ”

Wu Chunlai's color changed, and he slowly stood up, his expression becoming cold.

"Little junior brother, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm going to express some kind of repentance to my husband through you? Then you'd be wrong. I have never regretted what I did back then, but I have never had any remorse. Because I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong. I know what they told you? It's nothing more than saying that I am a teacher for glory and ungrateful. So what? I've never defended this, and even if I did, what if I did? ”

Lin Jue was very surprised, Wu Chunlai could say such a thing, which was beyond Lin Jue's expectations. In Lin Jue's opinion, Wu Chunlai did those things back then, but later someone mentioned that he was a little embarrassed and remorseful, and no matter how bad he was, he would not be justified. Because betrayal of the master is basically a disgraced behavior in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention not only betrayal, but also betrayal. Although few people know about this matter, Wu Chunlai is not so arrogant. It can be seen that this person is by no means what he imagined, and he may not be able to be measured and restrained by morality.

"Little junior brother, my young family is poor, although I have a little talent, but it is useless. Back then, I worshipped Mr. as a teacher, but in fact, I wanted to be taught by Mr. and be able to get ahead in high school. Mr. Demeng taught, and I did pass the imperial examination. However, people like me and my husband are two very different people. I wanted to stay in the capital as an official, but my husband asked me to go to a remote place as an official, starting from the Qipin County Order, saying that I could be tempted to endure and train myself. Hehe, but I know that once you go to work in a local office, if you have no one to support you or have no great achievements, you will be in the countryside for the rest of your life. Then what's the use of me taking this Jinshi? When I was a child, I lived a poor life under the fence, and I still want to go through the training when I get into the Jinshi? Mr. is a person of high moral character, hehe, others are teachers, and there are many recommendations for his disciples, Mr. is good, he obviously has the ability to help me stay in the capital, but he wants me to go to the poor countryside to take up my post. Naturally, I don't want to. The gentleman was not happy because of this, and he told me that he would never let me stay in the capital, and that he wanted me to die. Little junior brother, you tell me that I want to find a way out for myself, is this wrong? ”
