Chapter 721: Heart is in chaos

In mid-October, after a few days of continuous rain, the hot weather suddenly became refreshing. The bluestone slabs were washed clean by the rain. Water droplets on the shiny green leaves were dotted. Where the wind danced, pearl-like water droplets spread all over the sky, landed on the clothes of passers-by, drilled into their necks, and brought a little coolness to their hearts.

The business of the Zhuangyuan Building has been very good for a while, but the reason is nothing special. After the young emperor Zhaoqing ascended the throne, he started to make his way from the provincial examination, county examination, and government examination, and finally reached the final moment of deciding his destiny. The Zhuangyuan Building is quite famous in Luoyang. It is said that in the decades when he opened his business, the candidates who lived in them have produced several top scholars, Tanhualang. This is definitely the best among the restaurants in Luoyang Xingluoqi.

A small hat with a green robe and a beard on her lips, accompanied by Qiu Ping and Xia Yue, she sat in a corner of the Zhuangyuan Building. The building was filled with calligraphy left by the candidates, including the enthusiasm of the high school after high school, and the lament and desolation after failing. In short, in this building, you can see all the bitterness of a scholar studying hard for ten years.

The six plaques hanging high in the store are the treasures left by the top students of the high school who lived in the top scholar building back then. They are naturally carefully cared for by the store owner as the treasure of the store.

"Is it really so amazing? If you live here, you can greatly increase the chances of taking the exam?" Qiuping and Xia Yue both practiced martial arts since childhood and knew nothing about studying. At this time, when they heard the waiter Pinmo boasting about the glorious history of the store to the endless candidates in the store, they asked suspiciously.

"He said it absurdly, just listen to it. It's better to listen to the storyteller on the Tianqiao side talked about the Romance, but why should he think it's true!" Qingfeng smiled.

"This guy said it very well. Let's just listen to it. If you want to say that this top scholar building is today, it can only be said that it is very lucky. It was originally a remote place. When the boss opened the shop here, it would definitely be a pity to cry and call her parents, and it was almost closed." A scholar at the next table suddenly turned his head and said to the three people with a smile.

"Then why do you say they are lucky?" Xia Xue asked back, but Qiu Ping looked at the other party vigilantly and retracted her hand into her sleeve.

"I said he was lucky because when this store was about to close, he was not far from the door. Look, that's the Lin Mansion!" The scholar pointed to the vermilion gate with two stone lions standing not far away. "Lin everyone moved here. Lin everyone is a master of scholars. After he lived here, there were endless people coming to study. Lin everyone can't let these people live in the mansion, so it's cheaper to make this top-notch building. Every day, Lin everyone opens the door to teach. Many students are walking steadily in order to get a higher position! The business of the top-notch building, which is on the verge of closing, will naturally improve. Who said that he is the closest restaurant to Lin Mansion here!"

Xia Xue and Qiuping glanced at Qingfeng and saw that she was looking at the pair of stone lions in the Lin Mansion in a daze, and seemed not to hear them talking.

"There are so many people living here that they can see everyone's eyes. Those who listen to the teachings here for a long time are not the most outstanding among people. What is the point of giving out a few top talents!" The scholar smiled, "This boss knows that he has benefited from everyone's wealth. During the holidays, he will clean up several tables of the best tables to everyone's faces for everyone."

"It's just a pity. A few years ago, everyone in Lin suddenly stopped teaching. I heard that he was old and weak and sick. He was preparing to say that he would not start teaching anymore! We, the latecomer, can no longer hear everyone teach." The scholar said regretfully: "But the reputation of the Zhuangyuan Building has already started. During the big exams, candidates still come here in a constant stream. Without booking in advance, it is impossible to find a house."

Qiuping saw Qingfeng's eyes lowered and her eyes were slightly red. She couldn't help but move. She looked at the scholar and asked, "Does this brother know in detail, don't you know your surname?"

"Don't let your surname An, An Ruosu!" The scholar bowed and said, "If you want to tell me why I am so familiar with you, it's because I have already come to take the exam once, this is the second time!"

It turned out to be a lost scholar. Qiu Ping couldn't help laughing and turned around and asked, "Will Mr. Lin really not be as good as back then? Besides, I heard that Lin's son is also very knowledgeable, so why didn't he inherit his father's business and open a library to accept disciples?"

"Why?" An Ruosu hesitated for a moment, "It's natural for everyone to be old and weak and sick. However, I have heard of some rural unofficial history. I don't know whether it's true or false. I dare not say it randomly, so as not to defame Lin's reputation."

Qingfeng suddenly raised his head and said, "I'll just say it, let's listen! Brother An invites you to come and sit down. I'll treat this meal!"

An Ruosu smiled and said, "That's so disrespectful. I'm not hiding my brother-in-law that I have given all my money to grab a room here. I can only afford to eat porridge and steamed buns every day. I smelled the aroma of wine and meat on your table and had already moved my index finger."

"Brother An, please!" Hear the waiter over and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, Qingfeng picked up the wine glass.

"Please, please, oh, I wonder if my brother's surname is yours?"

"Forest!"

"Brother Lin, hahaha, thank you Brother Lin for your invitation. I just talked about rural history. I occasionally heard it from a person who became an official in the same year. I don't know whether it is true or false. Just say it casually, can you forget it if you have heard it?" An Ruosu said.

"Brother An, please speak!" Qingfeng took a sip of wine and said.

"This is Lin Haitao, the only son of everyone, who was a censor in Dingzhou. When I heard that things happened, I heard that they appeared at that time." An Ruosu lowered his voice.

Qingfeng's hands trembled slightly, and his heart thumped.

"I heard that when the barbarians invaded, both of the two daughters of Lord Lin Haitao's daughters fell into the enemy. Later, everyone in Lin claimed that the two granddaughters were broken, but in fact, these two women were not dead!" An Ruosu drank another glass of wine, ate a bite of the dish, and then said, "And they are lucky and lucky, and they have become the women of the current Dingzhou King Li Qing." He raised his head and looked around carefully, "Do you know the Dingzhou Statistical Investigation Department?"

An Ruosu said mysteriously: "One of them is the spy leader in Dingzhou now. I heard that it is quite powerful. The court suffered a great loss. Think about it, this matter has reached the court's ears. Even if there is no evidence, can the court be good to everyone in Lin?"

"Anyway, the Lin family is not as good as before in recent years." An Ruosu shook his head and said, "Li Qing, Dingzhou, was determined to rebel the imperial court. If the two daughters of the Lin family were really Li Qing's women, it would be the charge of killing the nine clans. The Lin family has great business and lush branches and leaves, and the people involved will be in trouble. Fortunately, the Lin family is highly respected among the scholars, and if they have someone to do it, they will have been caught. Even so, the Lin family has suffered a lot of crimes over the years. I heard that people will follow them when they go out."

Qingfeng was stunned and Xia Xue and Qiuping looked at her worriedly.

He suddenly raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said with a deep voice: "I have heard of this story, but I also heard that the daughter of this family wanted to go home to recognize her relatives and take her away from the Lin family, but everyone in Lin did not recognize him as his granddaughter, but insisted that his granddaughter had long died."

An Ruosu shook his head, "What's the truth? I don't know, but I can still understand what everyone Lin is thinking. My two daughters fall into the hands of the barbarians. Even if they are rescued, it will be Bai Bi's leisure. Everyone Lin believes in loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness all their lives. What's the matter? Oh, forget it. If you don't talk about this, Lin is a person I respect. If I say this, I will be very disrespectful!"

"So, do you think these two daughters deserve to be damned?" Qingfeng put down his wine glass and said coldly.

An Ruosu shook his head, "Are you even cherish your life, let alone people? To be honest, I admire these two women very much. Death is simple, and it is even more difficult to live! But this is the private matter of everyone Lin. If everyone Lin is really as you said, I don't agree. But, for the sake of the honorific, how about we change the topic?"

Qingfeng was silent for a while, nodded, stood up, turned around and walked out. As soon as Qingfeng left, Xia Xue and Qiuping immediately stood up, and Xia Xue even glared at each other hatred, "Waiter to check out!" He threw a ingot of silver on the table, "No need to look for it!" Then he walked out immediately.

An Ruosu looked at the three of them strangely. The table of wine and food had not moved much, so why did they all leave? It was better, but it was cheaper for him.

I poured a pot of wine, and then poured it down as soon as I tilted my neck. Halfway through my mind, a picture suddenly passed through my mind, and the person suddenly froze. The wine flowed down the corner of my mouth and poured it straight into my neck. I suddenly realized it.

An Ruosu remembered the scholar named Li on the opposite side when he raised his head and drank, and he clearly had no Adam's apple. He was a woman.

My mind was moving, and the conversation just now passed by like water in my mind, and dense beads of sweat suddenly oozed out of my body. The weather was already very cool, but in an instant, An Ruosu was already sweating heavily.

The other party was a woman. When he arrived at the Zhuangyuan Building, he was very clear about the Lin family's affairs. He was also surnamed Lin, so he used it. An Ruosu swallowed hard with difficulty, suddenly stood up, and walked out with great strides.

When he walked out of the Zhuangyuan Building, he happened to see the other party walking past Lin's mansion and turning into another street corner. He immediately followed.

"Miss, that person just came with me!" Qiuping whispered.

"Yeah, I understand!" Qingfeng nodded, "Find a chance to get rid of him, don't show any traces."

"I understand!" Xia Xue responded, looking up at the surrounding environment. There were a lot of people here, and it was not easy to attack for a while. It would be easy to get rid of the opponent. However, suddenly a person died on the street would inevitably cause riots, and the whereabouts of his and others would be discovered.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, please stay!" An Ruosu suddenly shouted, chasing him while shouting.

Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and slowly turned his head, "Brother An, is there anything else?" Qiuping and Xia Xue were already focused on making all preparations. One would suddenly kill people at any time, and the other would take Qingfeng to run away first.

An Ruosu smiled bitterly and bowed to the ground: "Brother Lin, An has an unsubstantiated request, please agree!"

"Since you are right and wrong, it's better not to say anything!" Qingfeng said coldly.

An Ruosu shook his head repeatedly, "No, I have to say it." Looking at Qingfeng, he looked at him silently, and said immediately: "When I saw Brother Lin today, I felt that Brother Lin was extraordinary. I suddenly felt that he followed me. I rushed over and wanted to ask Brother Lin to accept me."

Qingfeng looked at him in surprise.

Qiuping took over the conversation, "Just for this matter? Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
