Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Li Yuyan, who came back from the palace banquet, learned that Lin Xiao had sneaked out of the house. He was angry, regretful and worried, and hurriedly chased him out.

He searched the entire capital, including the inn where Yu Xilin was located, but could not find any trace of Lin Xiao.

she left?
Or will they suddenly disappear out of thin air like Zhang Yue and Bai Zhancheng?

He vaguely remembered that at a certain party, Zhang Yue said while half drunk and half awake that she and Lin Xiao were not from this era.

Thinking of this, Li Yuyan's heart felt as if it had been cut out with a knife, and his flesh and blood were all blurred.

He sat down in the carriage dejectedly and let the carriage drive him towards the palace, his eyes dull and lifeless.

He hadn't slept for several days, his eyes were red, and his lips were chapped and white.

"Brother Yan..." Li Li shouted worriedly: "Get some rest!"

"Don't be noisy!"

Li Yuyan roared, and Mo Li immediately fell silent.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the scene of meeting Lin Xiao that day suddenly appeared in Li Yuyan's mind.

She was disguised as a man, with pretty features, a shy smile, and a slight blush on her cheeks.

She said, my name is Lin Xiao, and from now on we will be a family living under the same roof.

"family"

Li Yuyan twitched the corners of his mouth bitterly, his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.

It turned out that she treated herself as a relative from the beginning.

Li Yuyan closed his eyes to hide the pain deep in his eyes, but it also strengthened his obsession with her.

He must find her!
Yu Xilin was also worried and angry about Lin Xiao leaving without saying goodbye!
Worried about Lin Xiao's safety.

Angry Lin Xiao disrupted his plan to restore the country.

Without Lin Xiao's Ninth Prince's Mansion, Zhao Qian couldn't stay for a moment.

He found an unfounded reason and resigned from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Then he left a farewell letter to Yu Xilin, shouldered the burden, and set out on the road to find Lin Xiao.

At this time, Yu Xilin's anger level reached its peak.

"Damn it! Are you all going to betray me? Okay! You can do it all!"

He rushed to Xiyue's room with a sullen face and angrily.

Xiyue, who was embroidering in the room, saw that his face was full of evil spirits, and couldn't help but stopped what she was doing and looked at him in horror.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Xilin took out the ruby ​​bracelet and said to Xiyue: "Princess Youlao wrote a letter to Prince Hao Lian, saying that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had gone back on his word and was planning to secretly send troops to the border."

"How could it be? The palace banquet a few days ago was not a bad one. The emperor even named our married princess a noble concubine."

"Just write the letter as I asked you to, and stop talking nonsense." Yu Xilin glared at Xiyue fiercely: "You'd better follow my instructions, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether your good commander's horse will be safe and sound. The last one came out of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion!”

Xiyue was horrified by his ferocious expression and shrank, and she was afraid that he was really harmful to Lin Xiao. She hurriedly took the paper and pen he handed over, held the brush tremblingly, gritted her teeth and finished writing the letter.

"I, I have already written the letter, please let my husband go!"

Yu Xilin snorted, turned around and left, leaving Xiyue standing alone at the door.

After several days and nights of running around, Lin Xiao finally arrived at Bailu Academy.

Bailu Academy is built on the hillside, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking.

It's a pity that Lin Xiao didn't have the leisure to appreciate it.

She led the horse quickly up the hill, came outside the courtyard wall, and knocked hard on the door.

The two guards guarding the door frowned when they saw that she was wearing a dusty uniform and looking embarrassed.

This guy didn't look like someone who wanted to study, but rather like a little book boy who came to look for his young master.

It's just that no one in his family told him that if he wanted to find his master, he had to go to the back door. The front door was not the place he was qualified to come!

"What are you doing? Not just anyone can come here!" one of the guards asked.

Another guard also looked at Lin Xiao warily and said, "If you want to find your young master, go to the back door. The front door is not where you should come!"

Lin Xiao calmly took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to the guards: "Thank you, brothers, for your hard work. I am not someone's book boy. Could you please go and report that Lin Xiao paid a visit to the talented scholar Hangxuan?" .”

When the two guards saw Lin Xiao's mature appearance and his ability to flatter him, they didn't think much of it and just regarded him as a sensible person.

"Okay, just wait!" The two of them winked at each other, one went in to report, and the other continued to stand guard.

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to move a step to the side, hid behind the bushes, and quietly observed the movements of the gatekeeper.

Not long after, the guard guarding the door came out and waved to Lin Xiao: "Come in."

Lin Xiao nodded in thanks, followed the guard into the academy, and walked along the winding corridor.

After a while, they came under an attic.

This is Hangxuan’s exclusive courtyard!
The guard reached out and pushed open the attic door and called inside: "Master Hang, Mr. Lin is here!"

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the attic.

Then came the voice of a scholar: "Come in!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and saw that there were eight desks in the attic, which were filled with books, poetry collections and various famous paintings and ancient books. They looked very magnificent.

Hang Xuan was sitting next to the desk. He was wearing a white robe with fluttering skirts. He was very handsome. He was looking down at the book in his hand. When he heard the guard's report, he raised his head.

For a moment, their eyes met, and Hang Xuan immediately stood up and came forward.

"Young Master Lin!"

"Mr. Hang!"

Lin Xiao and Hang Xuan clasped their fists and saluted at the same time.

Hang Xuan smiled and said: "Master Lin must be very tired after coming from a long way. Come in and sit for a while. I'll make tea right away."

"No need to bother, Master Hang. I came here today specifically to see my friends. I wonder if they are okay?"

Lin Xiao explained his intention straight to the point, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

"Oh, friends of Mr. Lin! Please come with me."

Hang Xuan smiled and nodded, leading Lin Xiao towards the back mountain.
Walking all the way through the garden, around the arched door, and then along several dark paths, you finally come to a pavilion in a bamboo forest.

The surrounding environment of the pavilion is elegant and comfortable, with rockery fountains, flowers, plants and trees, and even a crystal clear stream.

As soon as Lin Xiao entered, a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.

There is a small lotus pond deep in the bamboo forest. The water in the pond is green, the lotus leaves are lush, the lotus flowers are beautiful, and there are many fish swimming happily in the pond.

A gust of wind blew, the lotus flowers rippled slightly, and a koi carp could be vaguely seen swimming and playing in the clear water.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but admired. It seemed that the owner of this place had really worked hard to build such an exquisite lake here.

Hang Xuan felt quite proud when he saw Lin Xiao's expression.

This pond was carefully arranged by him. Because he liked the environment here, he named it "Deep Bamboo Forest".

"I placed them over there."

Standing on the pavilion, Hang Xuan pointed to the path on the left and said.

There is a small building with one floor and an open bamboo window. Outside the window is a small lake.

The small building is surrounded by flowers, and the air is filled with a light floral fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

There are several big trees in front of the small building, with their crowns reaching into the sky and their branches flourishing.

The sunlight poured down through the gaps between the branches, covering the entire small building in a golden color.

"I am planting beans at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, looking leisurely at the east fence. The countryside is full of greenery, and my mood is at par with the world. The white clouds are accompanied by birds, and I am leisurely in the wind. I want nothing in this life, I only want to farm and study."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Xiao couldn't help but recite a poem.

"What a poem! What a poem! Mr. Lin is indeed a leader among scholars."

Hang Xuan smiled even brighter.

"No way, not as good as Mr. Hang."

Lin Xiao said humbly.

"Young master Lin, you don't have to be polite."

Hang Xuan smiled.

Just because Lin Xiao asked Gao Jin to give him the poetry collection, his admiration for Lin Xiao increased even more.

The two chatted for a while, and then Hang Xuan led Lin Xiao to the room.
