Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

"My lord, it's time for dinner." said a young servant with a long look.

The eldest son was sitting under the lamp at this time, looking at a copybook in a trance.

Originally, the boy was still hesitating whether he should disturb him or not, but seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was almost completely dark now, if he dragged on, even hard-working people would not be able to hold on.

If something really happened to the young master's health, their whole family would have to suffer together.

Shi Lin's hand holding the object paused for a while, as if he had just heard the servant's voice, his reaction was a little slow, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He looked out of the window indifferently, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "What time is it?"

The eldest son's words were as concise as ever.

The servant Xu Le quickly replied, "It's almost Xu time."

Shi Lin closed the copybook, put it aside, and said: "Set the meal."

Xu Le hurriedly replied "Here".

When all the meals were placed, Xu Le saw the eldest son's chopsticks in the air, as if he was lost in memory again, and he hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time.

It's so weird.

Since receiving the letter from Gusu City, the young master has been distracted. This is a situation that has never happened before. What happened?

Xu Le opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Forget it, it's not easy for him as a slave to ask about the master's affairs.

Xu Le struggled here for a long time, but fortunately Shi Lin was finally willing to eat, otherwise he didn't know what to do.

Shi Lin used some food casually, and put down the chopsticks after half a quarter of an hour, and asked the servants to remove the things.

"Xu Le." Shi Lin suddenly called his name.

"The little one is here!" Xu Le responded.

Shi Lin's eyes seemed to be wandering, as if he was looking at him, or looking into the distance.

"Clean up the guest room." Having said this, he paused, and added with a complicated expression, "Shi Chen will come over in two days."

For some reason, Xu Le felt that what the young master wanted to say at that moment didn't seem to be the second young master's name.

But if not, then who?

The doubt was only a momentary thing, and soon he recovered his expression, bowed his head and replied respectfully: "I know, son, don't worry."

Shi Lin waved his hand, "Go."

The room was brightly lit, Shi Lin took out the letter from Gusu from the cabinet, and opened it again.

A piece of paper sandwiched in the letter fell out, on which the scenery of the city, the small bridges and flowing water houses, and the scenery of shops at dusk were painted on it with special care.

Although the paper is small, it does not affect the beauty expressed in the painting at all, which shows the skill of the painter.

[This is the scenery in Gusu City, isn’t it beautiful? ] There is also a sentence of explanation on the painting, the handwriting is correct and clear, and it is a font that Shi Lin is very familiar with.

As for the letter, although the font is the same as the painting, but looking at the tone, it can be seen that it is Shi Chen who is speaking, and Xi Xin is ghostwriting, which are two completely different tones.

Shi Lin looked at the scenery on the painting, and then took up the pen, and then drew the scenery outside the city in his mind.

At sunrise, the river is more prosperous than fire, and the river is as green as blue in spring.

——[Eldest son, what's wrong with you? ]

Someone's voice seemed to be echoing in my ears, it sounded very familiar, but it also carried a strange sense of strangeness.

Shi Lin slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was his bed curtain in the Hou Mansion. The simple and elegant color was the color that his mother liked very much.When he was at home, his and Shi Chen's rooms were all arranged by his mother.

How is this going?A moment of confusion flashed in Shi Lin's heart.

The person next to him was waiting for him to get up, Shi Lin looked over, and the person in front of him was the owner of the voice that called him just now.

"Where is mother?" Shi Lin heard his voice coming out uncontrollably, he was a little surprised, tried to move his lips, but found that he couldn't make any sound at all.

The body in front of him looks like his own, but it doesn't look like it.

He doesn't seem to have any control over it, he can only follow his feelings.

"Madam is reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall." The person next to him replied.

After washing up, Shi Lin walked out.

Jingkehou's mansion is very quiet, almost everyone is silent, even when doing things, the movement is very light, and no sound will be made.

The entire Hou Mansion was as quiet and deserted as death.

He was confused, shocked, and puzzled.

Then, suddenly thought of one thing.

Could it be that he had a prophetic dream again?

Since leaving the Hou Mansion, Shi Lin has not had a dream about foresight for a long time, and the so-called dream he had had a big discrepancy with the reality.

The characters that appear in the dream will indeed appear later, but what will happen may not necessarily happen.

Shi Lin's dreams finally stopped at the scene when Xi Xin left the Hou Mansion to travel, and he never dreamed about the future again.

Now, he seems to have encountered such a dream again.

"Where's Chen'er?" Shi Lin asked again when he heard his voice.

The people in the mansion replied immediately: "He is recuperating in the house. Lord Hou has ordered that no one is allowed to approach him until he recovers."

Injuried?Why do you get hurt?

Such doubts flashed in Shi Lin's heart, and in a blink of an eye, he found that he had come to Shi Chen's room.

The scene quickly changed to the place where Shi Chen lived.

There was a smell of blood in the room, Shi Chen was indeed seriously injured, his chest was tied layer after layer of cotton cloth, when he saw him coming, he just twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't even bother to say a word.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have kept Xi Xin by your side." Shi Chen said word by word, and after he finished speaking, he covered his chest and coughed heavily.

As soon as Shi Lin heard these words, he knew that this was indeed another so-called foreseeing dream, and it happened to connect with the scene he had dreamed before.

But why, things in dreams are different from reality?

All of this seems to have started when Xi Xin entered the mansion and was selected as the second younger brother's book boy. Slowly, everything changed.

At this moment, the things that had been confusing seemed to be solved at this moment. Shi Lin finally understood why his younger brother came to his mother's main courtyard so abnormally that morning.

Does Shi Chen have such a complicated memory like him?

Shi Lin had a headache. He had just said the word "Second Brother". When he was finally able to speak on his own, he was forcibly pulled by an invisible force, and the scene in front of him gradually turned blank.

Shi Lin opened his eyes again.

The sun is shining outside the window, and it is another new day.

It turned out that just now, I was really dreaming.

He looked dazed, and stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow.

Someone ran in from outside the door, knocked on the door and waited for the master's instructions.

"Come in." Shi Lin muffled.

Xu Le ran in, saluted slightly and said, "My lord, Second Young Master and Young Master Xi Xin have arrived."

When Shi Chen and Xi Xin came over, they didn't intend to live in Shi Lin's mansion. As early as when they delivered the letter earlier, they had already ordered people to come to the capital to find a house first.

After the two visited Shi Lin and brought Mrs. Shi's words, Shi Chen took Xi Xin to the new house to enjoy it.

The arrangement in the courtyard was in line with Shi Chen's wishes, and the servants even built a swing next to the bamboo garden. When Xi Xin saw it, his eyes lit up.

Yuanyuan jumped onto the swing even more excitedly, and hugged the vine next to her tightly with her paws.

When Xi Xin walked to the edge of the swing and sat down, it jumped into Xi Xin's arms.

Shi Chen lifted it up with one hand, ignored the kitten's protest, and put the pet aside.

Both he and Xi Xin were sitting on the swing, because there was not enough space between them, they were almost close to each other.

Xi Xin raised her head slightly, and their faces touched.

"Do you like it?" Shi Chen asked.

Xi Xin nodded, then suddenly remembered something, frowned and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

He looked around for a while, and thought, it would take a lot of silver to buy such a house.

You know, the family's financial power is in the hands of Xi Xin, and Shi Chen basically has little money in his hands except for his daily expenses.

Hearing Xi Xin's question, Shi Chen's complacent expression froze instantly.

He whispered, "That's right, I saved it secretly before."

Shi Chen tugged at the corner of Xi Xin's clothes flatteringly: "Your lord has a lot, so don't worry about private money with me."

Xi Xin glared at him angrily, but her eyes were soft and lacking intimidation.

Shi Chen knew that Xi Xin wouldn't bother with him about this, but he still admitted his mistake quite simply.

The two of them were leaning together and whispering, when they heard a servant coming to report, saying that the eldest son had come.

Shi Chen secretly kissed Xi Xin, and before Xi Xin recovered, he took his hand and got off the swing.

"Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while?" Seeing the tired look on Xi Xin's face, Shi Chen suggested.

They had traveled for a long time, running all night, and it was not easy for Xi Xin to survive until now.

Xi Xin stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes heavily, Shi Chen quickly stopped his movement, for fear that he would hurt his eyes.

Xi Xin nodded, hugged the kitten, and followed the servant leading the way back to the room.

Shi Chen shook his head and smiled, with a hint of affection in his eyes.

Now he and Xi Xin are playing around, admiring the landscapes everywhere, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

When he came back to his senses, he happened to see Shi Lin standing not far away, looking at this place quietly, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting here.

Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, then called out: "Brother."

Shi Lin nodded slightly.

"Second brother." He followed suit.

Originally, when Shi Chen came here, he still wanted to ask a lot, such as whether Shi Chen knew about the future, and what would happen to them in that unaltered future.

But after seeing him getting along with Xi Xin, Shi Lin felt that all this seemed unimportant.

The most important thing is everything in front of you.

"You came here, do you want to ask me anything?" Shi Chen noticed that he was hesitant to speak before.

Shi Lin shook his head slightly.

"No." He smiled, "It's all over."

Shi Lin handed a painting in his hand to Shi Chen, turned around and left.

Shi Chen opened the scroll, and a beautiful picture was painted on it.

The sun is slowly rising, and under the reflection of the sun, the scenery seems to be shining.

There is a surge of new hope in everything.

Just like right now.

The author has something to say: I can't do it anymore, I've been stuck for a long time, and I don't know what to write. I changed the original outline of Shi Lin's episode, and qwq really can't write it.

It's just like this...

After writing the side story of cultivating truth, it's over.
