Chapter 191 We can also enter Beijing

This time, Zheng An was really stunned.

He recollected Lin Roe's words carefully, but he didn't feel like they were coming from him.

Lin Roe is used to solving problems in a direct way. Normally, he would not like to bother others.

Today's uncharacteristically patient, as well as the familiar tone of Xie Qian, are a bit puzzling.

Zheng An was originally sitting, so he stood up involuntarily, turned around Lin Rong, glanced, and then realized, "Brother Lin, there is something wrong with your appearance today."

Lin Rong looked back, but didn't say anything.

Zheng An stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Normally, I don't want to say a single word of nonsense, why did you say so much today?"

The man said lightly: "Is there a nonsense thing I said today?"

"It's not really..." Zheng An thought for a while, and then said: "You wouldn't listen to me talking so much nonsense on weekdays!"

Lin Zhi ignored him.

Zheng An chattered and asked: "Brother Lin is in a good mood today? Speaking of which, why did Mr. Xie return home with you yesterday? What is his origin?"

Seeing that there was still no movement from Lin Zhi, Zheng An rubbed his chin and said, "Besides, you were the first one to arrive at the police station in the past, but you are so late today, and you seem to be in a good mood, something good must have happened .”

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, Lin Rong stood up and didn't bother to pay attention.

It was rare to see a less indifferent look on Lin Roe's face, Zheng An felt novelty, pestered him for a while, saw that he still didn't respond, and finally sat down: "Forget it, forget it, you have a stuffy temper I can count on you to say a few more words. Let's have dinner together at noon?"

Lin Roe responded, but shook his head and refused: "I'm waiting for someone, you go first."

Zheng An was choked up.

He can understand why Lin Roe is so patient today, he has been sitting and listening to him complaining and complaining, the emotional people are not listening to him, but waiting for someone!
Zheng An's emotions changed instantly, with an indescribable expression on his face, he turned around and was about to leave.

When he arrived at the door, he ran into Xie Qian head-on. He clasped his fists and said, "Master Xie. It's time for lunch, why don't you go to eat? Why don't you go—"

He invited Xie Qian out of good intentions, the police officer is busy with work and may not be able to take good care of the guests, Zheng An was afraid that Xie Qian would not be able to eat well because of face, so he wanted to take him with him.

But before Zheng An finished speaking, Xie Qian said indifferently: "Sorry, I already have an appointment."

The expression on his face is exactly the same as Lin Zhi's usual indifferent appearance, which makes people have to think of Lin Zhi's angry appearance.

Zheng An took a deep breath and didn't know how to exhale it for a moment, he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Xie Qian went straight into the living room, and greeted Lin Rong lightly, the two walked out together without saying much.

Zheng An shook his head while walking outside the mansion, thinking in his heart——

Who said that cold-tempered people are not sociable, he clearly saw that two people who were equally quiet could get together.

But he... was alone at noon, eating a bowl of gruel casually.

At noon, Xie Qian and Lin Rong had a light meal.

Now that Spring is around the corner and the Hanlin Academy is busy with affairs, Xie Qian couldn't stay long, so he bid farewell.

For Xie Qian, Lin Zhi always felt a little strange in his heart, as if he didn't know how to face it for a while.

Hearing that he wanted to leave, Lin Zhi only asked, "When will we leave?"

Xie Qian replied: "Tomorrow morning."

Although Lin Rong didn't call him uncle, he already recognized Xie Qian in his heart, and said, "Ashu and Sanbao, you haven't seen them yet."

Only when Xie Qian saw Lin Rong at the very beginning did his mood fluctuate greatly, but now he has already returned to his usual appearance.

Don't like trouble, not sociable.

Hearing this, Xie Qian said indifferently: "Just say hello for me."

Although his seniority is one generation higher than Lin Rong's, but he looks young, more like Lin Zhi's elder brother.

The temperaments of the two are very similar, but Xie Qian's coldness is more like that thousands of flowers cannot be seen, and Lin Roe's coldness tends to be calm and pretentious.

Lin Rong sometimes wondered if he would be like Xie Qian, cold and lonely, like a secluded pool, dark and bottomless, without any waves if he was not accompanied by Yao Shu.

He didn't force Xie Qian, and whispered: "I'll arrange someone to take you back."

The two discussed the itinerary for tomorrow. Now that the mansion is busy with patrols, Xie Qian didn't want to bother everyone too much, he just said: "I come as I come, and go as I go. There is no need to arrange for someone to see you off."

When Xie Qian came, it was just a carriage and a coachman, but Lin Rong couldn't let him go back like this.

He decided to add two guards and a servant in charge of daily life, Xie Qian didn't refuse any more.

Finally, after everything was settled, Lin Roe asked one more question: "Are you sure you didn't see Ashu and the others?"

He selfishly hoped that Xie Qian and Yao Shu would meet.

Perhaps it was Yao Shu's enlightenment yesterday, which made him untie the knot in his heart. In Lin Rong's view, Xie Qian is the medium for all his imagination about his mother - he is the only family member of his mother's family.

As far as Xie Qian is concerned, Lin Zhi's family is also his only blood in this world.Who can refuse to have blood relatives?What's more, Xie Qian has no children, no family, and being alone is indeed very lonely.

But Xie Qian still insisted, shaking his head and said: "Don't bother."

Lin Rong didn't persuade him any more.

They came out of the restaurant and went straight back to the patrol mansion.The two walked side by side on the road, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

The newly arrived horses in the patrol camp had to be inspected by Lin Zhi himself, and it was time to start training the soldiers, so he sent Xie Qian back to the patrol mansion, and rode to the outskirts of the city.

In the early morning of the second day, Xie Qian set off back to the capital without waiting for Lin Rong to see him off.

Zheng An was also surprised, and he couldn't understand: "Master Xie really came and went in a hurry. I thought that he has a good relationship with Brother Lin, and at least he has to wait for you to send him off."

Lin Zhi shook his head: "He has such a temperament."

Just this sentence, not much to say, Xie Qian is not a person who cares about other people's opinions.

Perhaps Zheng An and the others didn't understand Xie Qian, but Lin Rong had only spent a day with him, but he understood his actions from the bottom of his heart.

Blood relationship with him is as dispensable as fame and official position, otherwise he wouldn't even have the idea of ​​getting married.

It was only because Lin Rong was his sister's child, and it was Xie Qian's guilt and longing for many years, that he would go through this and pay attention to Lin Rong.

As for the others, there is no more.

Fortunately, Lin Rong can understand this kind of mood, so he doesn't feel that he is indifferent. If it were another person, he might not be able to understand Xie Qian's weird temper.

……

After Xie Qian left, Lin Rong received a letter from him a few days later.

The letter was in Xie Qian's usual style, concise and clear, without any nonsense, it explained the current situation of the Imperial College in Beijing, and asked him and Yao Shu to discuss as soon as possible whether to send Ah Zhi to Beijing.

After Chunwei passed, it was time for Guozijian to enroll students.

How many aristocratic children in the capital are also eager to study in the Imperial College. If Ah Zhi wants to enter, he should prepare for the school exam earlier.

When Lin Rong got home in the afternoon, he showed the letter to Yao Shu, and told her about Xie Qian's intention to let Ah Zhi go to the Imperial College to study.

When it was time for dinner, the children happened to be in front of him, so Yao Shu asked Ah Zhi, "What do you think? Do you want to go?"

Ah Zhi didn't say whether he wanted it or not, but said seriously: "Grandpa Xie talked to me, I think the capital is closer to home."

Asi was ignorant, but knew how to express his thoughts, and said to Yao Shu, "Brother, go to the capital, the capital!"

Yao Shu nodded, then rubbed Ah Si's head with a smile, and the family started eating without saying anything more about this topic.

In the evening, after the children had fallen asleep, Yao Shu discussed with Lin Rong: "I just thought about it carefully. If I can go to the Imperial College, it will be much better than ordinary academies. It's just..."

Speaking of which, she hesitated a little.

Lin Rong raised his head and looked at Yao Shu suspiciously.

Only Yao Shu said: "Master Xie, what's your attitude?"

Although she was asking this question, Lin Rong understood Yao Shu's real concern.

Xie Qian is cold-tempered and separated from Ah Zhi by generations, Yao Shu is worried that he can't really care about the child.

Lin Zhi said warmly: "Don't worry, he is a person who doesn't like trouble. Since he said so, he really wants Ah Zhi to go."

Yao Shu gave a soft "hmm".

She believed in Lin Rong's judgment, and felt in her heart that at least the capital city was much closer than Suzhou, and if Ah Zhi had something to do at that time, it would be much more convenient to be close.

Yao Shu put away the needle and thread in his hand, got up and turned on the oil lamp.

Now Lin Rong is very sensitive to Yao Shu's mood, seeing her appearance, he knows that she still has something on her mind.

The man asked: "Why do you still look frowning?"

Yao Shu picked up the needle and thread again.Ah Zhi has grown a lot taller since the beginning of spring, and his feet are also bigger.

Yao Shu doesn't often make clothes for the children, but he still does it occasionally for a shoe sole.

Inserting the needle in her hand, she said in a low voice: "The capital is at the foot of the emperor, and the Imperial College has many officials' sons. If Ah Zhi is gone, will he be bullied?"

I am afraid that only mothers would consider this issue.

Lin Zhi said: "Ah Zhi will always have to face these problems. Even if he didn't go to Beijing today, if he went to high school for the imperial examination in the future, wouldn't he still be able to go to Beijing? Then he will be facing colleagues who get along well, Naturally, there will be political disagreements, how should he deal with it?"

Yao Shu bit his lower lip lightly, and fell silent.

When she was in doubt about something, she liked to bite her lips.

Lin Rong didn't feel it before, but after yesterday, he couldn't bear to be bitten by her.

The man put his hand on her hand, stopped the continuous movement of her needle and thread, looked into Yao Shu's eyes and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ah Zhi will grow up."

Yao Shu looked back at him, with a look of reluctance on his face: "But that will be a few years later. Can't we spend more time with him when he is still a child?"

Lin Rong stroked Yao Shu's hair, and suddenly said, "If my uncle sees you, he will definitely like you."

Yao Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

This was the first time he spoke to thank Uncle Qian, and it was also the first time he called out that person's name: "Although I have never met my mother, I think she should be as gentle as you."

The man's expression softened, and he continued: "I heard from my uncle that when he was a child, he didn't like to read classics and history collections, but preferred to read some miscellaneous books... He was often caught and beaten by his master. At that time, his mother always protected him. I think, if Seeing how you treat Ah Zhi, uncle will definitely think of your mother."

Yao Shu's eyes became softer, and he said softly, "As an older sister, I will naturally protect my younger brother. Ah Zhi is still young, so I will also protect him."

Lin Zhi nodded.

Yao Shu started sewing again.The oil lamp was very bright, but it didn't bother my eyes.

It's just that Yao Shu thought that at Zhi's age, he loves to run and dance, and the soles of shoes always wear out faster, so he made the soles thicker, making it difficult for needles to pierce.

Lin Rong just watched her doing things quietly like this, and he didn't feel bored. Instead, he felt calm and safe because he could spend more time with her.

The two of them stayed away from each other for a while, but they heard Lin Zhi say something abruptly: "If you are worried about Ah Zhi, we can also go to Beijing."
