Chapter 340 Entrusted by Lin Roe

Under the darkness of night, there was a flash of worry in Lin Zhi's eyes, but it was still captured by Yu Zhi.

After Yu Zhi asked, there was a moment of silence between the two.

Yu Zhi couldn't help feeling a little annoyed——

His grandfather often taught him that when interacting with others, he should never make superficial remarks.

Although he had known Lin Roe for several months, they had full trust in each other, but the other party was cold-tempered in the end.

It might not be appropriate for him to ask so carelessly.

Yu Zhi was still struggling, but Lin Rong spoke up: "If you have anything to say, I do have something to ask, but I haven't figured out how to say it yet."

Yu Zhi hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it, and if you can help me, I will do my best."

Lin Wei smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. I just thought you've been in the Imperial Academy for so long, and you know Master Xie's temperament."

Yu Zhi nodded.

He knew that Xie Qian and Lin Rong were blood-related nephews, so it was not surprising that Lin Rong mentioned Xie Qian.

It's just that Yu Zhi is still puzzled, what is the unspeakable matter that makes a decisive person like Lin Rong not know how to speak?
Yu Zhi hesitated and asked, "What does Brother Lin mean?"

Now that Lin Zhi had started the conversation, the rest went much more smoothly.

The two walked side by side on the bluestone streets, the night was quiet, and it was a good time to relax and talk.

The man pondered for a while, and said: "After the accident of Xie's family that year, my uncle's personality has changed a lot. Although he has been an official in the court these years, he doesn't care about the affairs of the court and the changes around him. manner."

Yu Zhi nodded.

He had indeed heard his colleagues talk about the unjust case of the Xie family that day, including how Xie Qian concealed his name, entered the court at the risk of deceiving the emperor, and rehabilitated the Xie family and the former prince...

As for Xie Qian himself, Yu Zhi has also come into contact with him a few times, and only feels that he seems to be the coldest snow on a mountain that cannot be climbed, whether it is to people or things, he is always indifferent.

He also heard Lin Wei say: "Now that Ashu and I bring the children to Beijing, it can be regarded as a weakness for my uncle; besides, the power in the court is surging, and my uncle is loyal to His Majesty, no matter what. Do your best to protect His Majesty."

The man raised his eyes and said bluntly: "Now that you are by uncle's side, you are smart and cautious. In my heart, I hope you can be a great help to him."

Seeing the solemnity of the man's words, Yu Zhi was at a loss for a while, and said, "Brother Lin, I, I..."

Lin Wei smiled slightly, and comforted him: "Young Brother Yu, there is no need to panic. His Majesty has approved Master Xie's actions in the Imperial Academy in the court hall. No matter what the outcome is, Master Xie will stand in front of him."

Yu Zhi shook his head, looked seriously into Lin Roe's eyes, and said worriedly: "Brother Lin, that's not what I mean. Mr. Xie is upright, and my students admire his profound knowledge, so I am naturally willing to follow him all the time. It's just that I really don't know anything about the court affairs..."

Lin Zhi patted Yu Zhi on the shoulder, and said: "You are only fifteen or sixteen years old, you are still too early to get in touch with these things, now you just stay in the Imperial Academy and work with Master Xie. Let me tell you about the situation in the court, It’s just a reminder that no matter where a person is in the court, it’s hard to be alone.”

Yu Zhi nodded: "Brother Lin, I know."

He is a smart man, he is transparent at all, and he does not have the sourness of a scholar's stubbornness.

To be a subject is to share the king's worries, His Majesty pointed him to Xie Qian, and he followed Sir Xie obediently, this is Yu Zhi's way of loyalty.

Lin Rong nodded, but Yu Zhi smiled again and said, "Brother Lin, that's all there is to say?"

The man was dumb, his stern eyebrows and eyes gradually melted, and he said with a smile: "You are really sharp."

Lin Rong has always been very accurate in seeing people.From the first time he saw Yu Zhi, he knew that besides the uprightness of a scholar, Yu Zhi also possessed intelligence and acumen that other people seldom had.

Yu Zhi became more courageous after drinking, jokingly said: "Brother Lin, you can say whatever you want, younger brother can still make fun of you?"

Lin Rong didn't hesitate any longer, and said solemnly: "What I said just now is to ask you to have your heart in the court and help thank you for your arrangement; what follows is my personal request..."

Yu Zhi also said seriously: "Brother Lin, please tell me."

Under the moonlight, the man's resolute face softened the lines, and said in a low voice: "Uncle is alone, and he is really lonely. I was thinking, if you are free on weekdays, can you go to Xie's mansion to talk to him more."

What Lin Rong said really surprised Yu Zhi.

Mr. Xie has always been a loner. Thinking about it carefully, there is no one in Xie's residence who can talk to him heart to heart.

Then I heard Lin Rong add: "Ah Shu and I intend to adopt Sanbao to uncle's knee now, which can be regarded as adding some popularity to the Xie family. It's just that Sanbao is too young, how can he really understand what uncle is thinking? Brother Yu, you are different …Uncle told me about it today, he admires your talent and character very much.”

Yu Zhi was still sighing for Xie Qian just now, when he heard Lin Rong's words, he couldn't help but smile: "Master Xie really said that?"

As if being noticed by the idol he secretly admired, Yu Zhi was overjoyed.

Lin Rong saw the boy's joyful mood, and his expression softened a lot. He smiled and said, "You don't believe me?"

Yu Zhi said in a stacked voice: "Believe me, believe me, of course I believe Brother Lin's words. It's just that I didn't expect it! I only talked to Mr. Xie once, and that time I was stubborn and insisted on insisting on my mistakes. Mr. Xie was not annoyed, he just explained my confusion lightly! Unexpectedly, I never expected Mr. Xie to praise me!"

He even spoke a lot faster, and for a while, the youthful air in his whole body became stronger.

Seeing Lin Rong smiling and not speaking, Yu Zhi felt a little embarrassed, and said shyly, "Brother Lin laughed."

Lin Zhi said in a low voice, "Seeing that you don't reject me, I feel relieved."

Xie Qian seldom commented on the people around him on weekdays. It's not that he couldn't see the good and the bad, but he didn't care about how the other party behaved.

But he treats Yu Zhi differently.

Lin Rong saw Xie Qian's approval at a glance, and he was delighted to see him after a long time.

Yu Zhi licked his lower lip, his heart skipping a beat, he said excitedly: "Brother Lin, do you think Master Xie will get impatient if I bring questions that I usually don't understand to the Xie Mansion? "

Lin Zhi shook his head: "No."

He raised his eyes and said to Yu Zhi: "Ah Zhi has just passed the exam of the Imperial College, and he will go to study after the Dragon Boat Festival. By then, the Xie Mansion will be deserted again. If little brother Yu is willing to go to the mansion from time to time, Brother Yu will be very grateful."

Yu Zhi's eyes sparkled: "Yes, I will, I am willing to do it one hundred times in my heart!"

Lin Rong delivered Yu Zhi to the Imperial Academy safely, and on the way home, he couldn't help but walk a lot more lightly, and the burden in his heart also eased a lot.

In this way, the popularity around my uncle finally gradually increased...
