Encounter with the Four Great Talents

The sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Lin Jin looked at the yellow sunset outside the curtain, and suddenly thought of this sentence in his mind.

Reminiscent of the great changes that have taken place in the family in recent days, Lin Jin has to say that this poem is really suitable for the Lin family.No matter how rich, no matter how powerful, like the setting sun, it will eventually disappear.

However, the Lin family is a century-old family with a solid foundation and connections.Faced with such a sudden attack by the emperor, although they were in a hurry, they still had the strength to fight. No matter how bad it was, they could guarantee the safety of the whole family.

However, Lin Jin always felt that the situation was not so optimistic.The Holy Majesty has always been jealous of the Lin family, but as a courtier, the Emperor is so cautious. This is where the Lin family succeeds and where it fails the most.If the Lin family knows how to be restrained, they should learn to wish the old master or Grand Master Hua to retire bravely in the torrent to die in peace.But after being pushed to the forefront by countless people, it is not easy to let go.

These days, Lin Jin looked at his grandfather, father and other elders in the family frowning every day, and it would be a lie to say that he was not angry.But that was Jinshang, and he was determined to give the Lin family a good look. Only when he tore off all the veils of hypocrisy and stood on the opposite side of the highest point of imperial power, could he understand the powerlessness and horror.

From the day when the Imperial Examinations started, the Ministry of Punishment launched an attack, and today it is only No. 12 days. The vicissitudes of the situation are no longer enough to describe Lin Jin's feelings at this time. Mr. Lin, who has always been confident, arrogant and stable but extremely arrogant, is like an eggplant beaten by frost. , the body is full of exhaustion and emaciation, and there is still a high mountain peak wrinkled between the brows when the eyes are closed.

He lowered the curtain, stretched out his hand and kneaded his brow.

At this time, Lin Jin received a post from a servant in Washington. At that time, Lin Jin really wanted to throw the post on that person's face, but he held back his temper and opened it. It was Don who asked him to swim in the lake.

Tour the lake... swim the lake... swim the lake! ! !

That's right, he said last month that he would invite him to swim in the lake when he was in better health next month, and he agreed without thinking.Now it seems that this person must have known that today would come, so he deliberately chose such a time to laugh at himself!Hmph, the person who can make Hua Dingwu fancy is really different!I really shouldn't have underestimated him just because he was sick and weak!

He didn't want to come at first, but after his grandfather and father found out about it, they hesitated for a long time and told him, come on.The fact that this man was able to trick him in this matter proved that he also knew some of Hua Dingwu's official affairs.If they can get something useful out of him, they can prepare for it.What's more, Hua Dingwu is likely to go with him that day, and it is his chance to inquire about it.

The Lin family went so far as to ask a plaything for information!What kind of irony is this?Moreover, want him to show his favor to that self-righteous Hua Dingwu?Don't even think about it!

Even though he was very angry, Lin Jin still came.Then, when the sedan chair stopped and the sedan chair curtain was lifted, he saw a familiar figure standing on the shore, with his hands folded, his long hair and hem of clothes being blown by the wind, and some ethereal eyes staring at the lake, fluttering like a fairy.

Then, he turned his head, with a beautiful expressionless face, looked at himself and bowed: "Mr. Lin."

Lin Jinsheng smiled angrily: "Xu Zhenqing, I recognized your handwriting when I saw that post, but I didn't expect it was really you. Why, did you find a new master so soon? But Hua Dingwu loves Tang Shen so much, I guess Does he treat you lukewarm? Does he have enough energy to satisfy you at night?"

Facing this person, Xu Zhenqing couldn't feel any anger or hatred now, but felt a little disappointed.Sighing secretly, he stretched out his hand to lead the way: "Please, Mr. Lin, Mr. Tang has been waiting in the boat for a long time."

Lin Jin was so angry that his face became livid, and he reached out to grab his arm, but a man in blue standing beside him grabbed his wrist with a horizontal hand. After struggling twice, he didn't move at all.Lin Jin himself did not practice martial arts, but in order to maintain his health, he usually had the habit of boxing and sword training. Although he was not a master, he was able to defeat many fists and legs in the capital.In addition, he is very strong, so being able to clamp his wrist tightly like this proves that this person is definitely a master!

Looking back, a tall young man with an ordinary appearance but extremely prudent said with a smirk: "Master Lin, although the second son said that the visitor is a guest, I should be more polite to you. But Lord Lin, please forgive me, I am alone. A rough man who practices martial arts has a straight temper and a bad temper, but he has a little strength in his hands, if you accidentally crush your wrist, don't be angry."

At this time, a person came out of the painting boat and stood on the bow of the boat, and said in a strange way: "Second Young Master said that he heard the noise, and he thought it was the arrival of guests. I also said how could it be possible for a person with status like Mr. Lin to make such a noise in such a large crowd that there are no rules. .Looking at it now, our second son is more knowledgeable."

Wei Ting, Hua Dingwu's younger brother, is now holding Lin Jin's wrist and threatening to crush him.He let go of his hand and smiled, "Master Lin, don't be angry, please."

Lin Jin was trembling with anger, but he still gritted his teeth, glared at Xu Zhenqing who hadn't even moved beside Wei Ting, and got on the boat.Wu Dao, who was standing on the boat and had just spoken, led the way with a half-smile: "Master Lin, please."

The painting boat is very big, so it looks extremely empty, several low tables and stools are arranged one by one, but no one is seated.And the beauty beside the boat leaned forward, leaning on a person wearing a deep purple gown, which was embroidered with messy and intricate red manjusawa, making this person's skin whiter and almost alluring.He stretched his hands out of the railing as if bored, and from time to time dropped some bait between his slender and white fingers, attracting all the fish in the lake to come over.

The maids and servants stood in the corners, not approaching him, and let him sit there alone, quietly entering the painting.

As soon as Lin Jin came in, Wu Dao led him to sit down at the table and poured him a cup of tea.After Wei Ting came in, he naturally stood not far behind Lin Jin, obviously to guard against him.Lin Jin ignored him and was not angry. He just watched Xu Zhenqing walk to Tang Shen's side, glanced at the fish in the lake, and said, "If brother Zhengming was here, he would definitely have the same idea as you."

Tang Shen laughed loudly, sat up straight, clapped his hands to wipe off all the scum in his hands, then took the handkerchief from Tongxi to wipe his hands, and said to Xu Zhenqing: "Brother Changgu really knows my little brother very well. , how do you know I want to eat?"

Xu Zhenqing said in her heart that your saliva is about to flow, who can't see it?Scolding Wenbi every day that he loves to eat, he is not the same, but eats less than others.But he just shook his head amusedly, and said, "The guests are here, don't be so rude." There was so much intimacy in his tone that Lin Jin couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Although Xu Zhenqing's age at this time was not over thirty, it was almost the same.Although he still had a youthful face in his [-]th year, his age and experience made him feel that he was not young anymore, and his beautiful eyes were full of sorrow after the world of mortals settled down.In comparison, although Tang Shen is quite tall, he doesn't look like a child anymore, but his over-spoiled temperament is sometimes no different from that of a child.

Although the two reunited within a few days, it may be that Xu Zhenqing's experience made Tang Shen feel pity, and the two got closer, so they quickly became acquainted.Xu Zhenqing still liked this child very much, so sometimes she felt a little spoiled when she didn't pay attention to her words. Every time she said it, she regretted it, but seeing Tang Shen didn't mind, she let it go.

Only then did Tang Shen turn his gaze to Lin Jin, and he didn't pretend to be rude when he saw him just now. He just smiled and got up and saluted Lin Jin politely. Smiling but not smiling, he followed the politeness.Then the two sat face to face at two low tables, but the main seat was empty.Lin Jin glanced at the main seat, and knew that it should be Hua Dingwu's position. Presumably, he hadn't come from the Yamen yet, and Hua Dingwu was very busy now.

That position indeed belonged to Hua Dingwu. Although Tang Shen thought it was unnecessary, Hua Dingwu blocked all his protests with his cold eyes and fiery kisses. Tang Shen was finally humiliated after being taken advantage of countless times. Agreed, this main seat is empty.

Xu Zhenqing sat next to Tang Shen.Hua Dingwu didn't come, and the three of them just chatted about the scenery without saying a word.Now that the sun has not set, the fiery red sunset has illuminated the leaves of the lotus in the lake out of Phnom Penh, and the fiery red clouds are reflected in the water. It feels like a line of water and sky, and the scenery is not bad.

In fact, there is really nothing to see here during the day. Although the lake is big, and although the lotus flowers will bloom in two months, it will be really beautiful, but you can’t drive a boat to the center of those lotus flowers. There are no mountains around the lake. Ah, there are so many trees to see, so there is nothing to swim in the lake.

But at night, from the edge of the lake to the end of the Jiuqu Bridge in the lake, the Shuiyue Pavilion connected to it will be performed by actors from the largest art workshop in the capital. , as long as you take a boat, you can watch it for free.If you can afford the price, the boat will send the player to your boat, as long as you come back the next day.

Tang Shen had always had a dislike for these Qinlou and Chu Pavilions, but after all, he didn't need to go there, he was willing to just come to watch dances and listen to plays.So after listening to Xu Zhenqing's introduction, people found a big painting boat, and decided to take a good look at it tonight.

After hearing Tang Shen's arrangement, Lin Jin was not surprised. This was the only thing to see when he came to visit the lake at this time.

After chatting for a while, the curtain was suddenly pulled open, and Hua Dingwu in black strode in.After all, this is a painting boat, and it will feel a little wobbly if you walk a little heavier.Hua Dingwu came in so silently, startled Tang Shen, and stared at him with wide eyes.

As soon as Hua Dingwu came in, he saw Tang Shen. It was the first time he saw Tang Shen's attire. He was stunned for a moment and then narrowed his eyes slightly to cover up the unpredictable beauty.

He said politely to Lin Jin, then turned around and pulled Tang Shen to his side to hug him, then he was taken aback again, the touch of his palm made him want to reach out and pull his clothes.After being glared at by Tang Shen, she restrained herself, held his hand to make sure that his hand was warm and the clothes were thick, and then kissed him on the lips: "I'm late."

Tang Shen snorted, but his eyes were slightly worried.He has been very busy recently, very busy, and he didn't know how long he was busy before he could come here at this time today.After all, there were outsiders around, Tang Shen didn't want to be too intimate, so he just nodded: "Not too late."

Hua Dingwu patted his face and sat on the main seat. After the four of them took their seats, following the sound of the bow of the boat, the boat slowly sailed away from the shore of the lake, and first circled around the center of the lake in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The maids also quickly brought up the wine and dishes, all of which were delicious in color, fragrance and taste, and the wine was also good old wine, but it was only served for three people.The few small dishes in front of Tang Shen were different from theirs, and there was no wine, only a cup of boiled soup.

Seeing Lin Jin looking at his dishes, Tang Shen smiled and cleaned his hands with a hot handkerchief, rinsed his mouth again, and said, "I'm not in good health, and I have many taboos. Don't take offense, Mr. Lin."

Lin Jin glanced at him up and down, and he really didn't look healthy. He nodded with concern on his face, "It's important for Mr. Tang to recover from his illness. But seeing Mr. Tang's complexion is not good, I think he won't be able to recover from this illness for a while? Mr. Tang needs a lot. Be careful."

This is true, it just sounds uncomfortable.But Tang Shen didn't care, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your concern. If I recover from this disease, I will have to be with the medicine stone for the rest of my life. If it gets worse, I will go to see my ancestors in three to five years. I have long since seen it off gone."

Hua Dingwu remained calm, but Wei Ting saw his brother's hand tremble, and a drop of wine slipped out.

Lin Jin thought that Tang Shen said that on purpose, and snorted coldly in his heart, but what he said was pleasant: "Mr. Tang's words are terrible, life is alive, time flies, of course we should cherish every moment more. What's more, the people around you naturally hope that you can live a long and long life."

Tang Shen subconsciously glanced at Hua Dingwu, and Hua Dingwu was also looking at him, with inexplicable emotions rolling in his dark eyes, which made Tang Shen's heart tighten.Smiling, nodded and said: "Mr. Lin is right, there are always some people who just let go."

Now it was Lin Jin's turn to look at Xu Zhenqing calmly, but Xu Zhenqing obviously did not have the tacit understanding with him. He just kept his head down and ate the food, as if the Xi Shi tofu was very delicious, and he could only see that he was black hair top.Lin Jin looked at it, but couldn't remember whether this person liked this dish, and suddenly felt a little flustered, so he suppressed it and turned his head away.

Tang Shen squinted his eyes and drank the soup, pretending not to see it, and kept humming in his heart.After depressing his thoughts, he raised his head: "Speaking of which, I haven't had the opportunity to thank Mr. Lin for taking care of my cousin in person. It was my cousin who was abrupt that day. He is a fool who has never seen the world. Don't argue with him." .”
