The innocence of summer is always changing, the morning is still scorching hot, but after lunch the sky suddenly darkens, the dark clouds overwhelm the top, the room is dark, and the heavy rain soon begins.

Standing under the eaves and looking at the rain curtain outside, Zhang Linyi sighed: "I didn't expect the rain in summer to fall as soon as I said it."

Yuan Anping looked at the gray sky: "It looks like you can spend a lot of time." He told Zhang Linyi, "If it's raining, you can stay overnight, or you can stay overnight. There are still rooms."

Zhang Linyi did not refuse: "That's fine. How about I ask someone to prepare some water and wine, and let's have a good time tonight."

Thinking of his useless drinking capacity, Yuan Anping refused: "Let's forget about drinking and talking, this kind of thing is better after I practice my drinking capacity." After all, there is class tomorrow, and he doesn't want to work with a hangover headache.

"It's okay not to drink, even if you can't drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk, at least you have to drink a few glasses. You really have to practice your drinking capacity." Thinking of Yuan Anping's nest in this small village, he suggested, " I see that you are either teaching or staying at home all day long, why don't you go out and make some friends from your classmates, some like-minded friends, and expand your network?"

Yuan Anping understands that classmates and old friends are always very important personal connections, and being able to make friends is also a kind of ability.But based on his experience, it is difficult to make like-minded friends in a word.As for making close friends, it's also not easy: "I'm too lazy, I don't like to go out."

"If it's because there is no suitable opportunity, I can recommend you to some banquets." Zhang Linyi thought that Yuan Anping was young and had left the private school for a long time, and the friends he had made in the past might have been alienated, so he thought maybe You can help yourself, take him to some occasions, and make some useful friends.

"No need, it's not the time yet." To make friends is to make friends with scholars. With his current background, it's not enough for him to recite poems, compose poems and discuss articles with others.

Since Yuan Anping refused, knowing that the other party had his own considerations, Zhang Linyi stopped mentioning this matter.On the contrary, I think he appreciates that he didn't seize the opportunity to use his relationship for his own benefit.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't look down on people who associate with him with a purpose. After all, it's not a wrong thing to seek benefits for himself through legitimate means.It's just that in comparison, Yuan Anping, who has a simpler purpose, is more appreciated by him.

I moved a chair and sat down in the corridor. Although there were occasional raindrops that would be blown onto the hem of the clothes due to the wind, the two of them didn't care. The coolness and rain would only make people feel comfortable.

Zhang Linyi took a sip of the herbal tea on the small table: "Although it is inconvenient to travel in this weather, it makes people feel at peace. Sitting here is very comfortable. Why doesn't Mr. Zhong Sun come here to sit with us?"

Yuan Anping smiled: "He doesn't like getting along with people who know his past."

Zhang Linyi was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhongsun to still remember me." He and Zhongsun Lianjue are actually not familiar with each other, but met once or twice at some banquets.At that time, Zhongsun Lianjue was a star among the stars. He was just a small businessman. It would be nice to be lucky enough to attend. He would not attract attention.So he didn't expect Zhongsun Lianjue to know that he knew about the other party.

Yuan Anping explained to him: "It's not that he remembers you, it's just that your attitude towards him shows him that you are someone who knows his past. Maybe you don't want to face it subconsciously, so don't worry about it."

Zhang Linyi seemed to realize something: "So that's the case, I understand that." Falling into the dust from the clouds is not something anyone can bear.Even if you can see it, it doesn't mean you are willing to see familiar people and things.

Zhang Linyi couldn't help feeling emotional: "Mr. Zhongsun has been famous since he was a child, and he became a third-rank bachelor at a young age. He has a noble character and a straightforward personality. He is the object of admiration by many scholars." Then he felt a little regretful, "It's a pity , once exhorted the emperor to be diligent in his administration, not to favor traitors, he was relegated by the emperor, and then he was dismissed by those who were jealous of him. The most incredible thing is that Mr. Zhongsun's family actually died Get rid of Mr.

Yuan Anping really didn't expect Zhongsun Lianjue to have such a past. He became famous when he was young, but lost his official position because of admonishing the emperor. Just like Zhang Linyi's opinion, Yuan Anping was also shocked when he heard that Zhongsun Lianjue was expelled from his family.The family tree is as important as life to the people here.If you are removed from the list, it is equivalent to losing your roots, and it will also be considered a shame.In order to protect themselves, Zhongsun Lianjue was expelled from the family. Such a family is really...

"The past is in the past." Yuan Anping secretly decided in his heart that if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely take Zhongsun Lianjue back, and it would be nice if he could worship his ancestors.As for the Zhongsun family who abandoned him, there is nothing to go back to.

"It's just a pity that Mr. Zhongsun's talent has been buried like this."

Yuan Anping was thoughtful, what scholars value is the ability to display their talents, even if Zhongsun Lianjue has already seen it, and no longer cares about fame and fortune.But dying in obscurity and mediocrity is definitely not what he wants.

"Maybe we can find something for him to do." Yuan Anping thought to himself.

What a literati can do is to recite poems, compose proses and write articles, and of course they can concentrate on writing books and spreading them down through the ages.But let the other party write a book and say that he does not have such conditions now, after all, it needs to refer to a lot of literature.But it is still possible to do other things, such as organizing poetry collections, writing articles, embellishing idiom stories, and so on.

After thinking about the way for Zhongsun Lianjue to pass the time, Yuan Anping no longer worried about anything: "There is nothing to regret, maybe he is not suitable to be an official at all. Although he loses the official, his life will be fine anyway. As for showing his talent Gold will shine wherever you go, and you can’t hide your true talents.” There are also many officials who angered the emperor and were beheaded, punished, or exiled. Compared with those, just losing their official positions is already considered Not bad.

"You're right." However, no one would be reconciled to such a thing.Being able to make a difference again is even more difficult.

Huo Xiaohan stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at the two chatting in the corridor, hesitant: "It's almost time for class, should I remind him?"

Zhong Sunrui held an umbrella: "Brother Xiaohan, I'm going to class."

"Ah? Oh. Be careful when walking, pick places without water, and be careful of slipping." Children always prefer to play with water, especially like to do things like stepping on water, but it is so easy to slip and fall.

"I see." Zhong Sunrui looked at Yuan Anping's direction, "Is Brother Anping not going to class this afternoon?"

"He hasn't said yet, you go to the class first, I'll go over and ask him."

Huo Xiaohan took an umbrella and came to Yuan Anping's side: "Brother Anping, it's time for you to go to class." Maybe Li Zi and the others should help with class, otherwise it's not easy to leave the guests alone.

"It's time for class." Yuan Anping said to Zhang Linyi, "I'm sorry, I have to go to class. You can stay here by yourself. If you need anything, you can talk to Xiaohan."

Zhang Linyi didn't care too much: "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
