(The third and fourth updates are today. Please keep them in your collection. Also: be careful about the presence of girls in the book review area.)
Su Jin managed to escape with great difficulty, and got rid of a few guys who were stalking her. She came to Xia Silin, who was still in a daze, and pulled her away. Her stomach was still empty, but she didn't want to be here at noon today.
It’s time to have a peaceful meal.
The two of them left the restaurant as if they were running away. Xia Silin was dragged by Su Jin's small hand and staggered all the way. Seeing that they were walking in the direction of the academy gate, he hurriedly broke away and said, "Where are you going?"
Su Jin said: "I remember there is a small restaurant next to the parking lot when we go out to eat. We can't stay in the academy restaurant to fill our stomachs there."
Xia Silin smiled and said, "Now you are famous in the academy."
Su Jin frowned and said, "Well, celebrities have the troubles of celebrities. Look, you have to go out to eat a meal to avoid being recognized. It's a lot of noise."
Xia Silin chuckled and said, "You're so stinky that you're really hopeless when you don't mean what you mean."
Su Jin pretended to be surprised and said, "You all know this. It turns out Brother Xia Xian is the roundworm in my belly."
Xia Silin said: "What kind of roundworms are disgusting? Those who are interested in these tricks of yours can easily tell at a glance. Professor Cao will probably keep an eye on you after suffering your secret loss today."
Su Jin smiled and said: "How did you know that Cao suffered a secret loss from me? I think he made a lot of money and gained a good reputation for no reason."
Xia Silin said: "You think you are so smart. A man named Wang Anshi said something in front of me that seemed to have completely seen through you. I only found out about your evil ways after he reminded me."
Su Jin said in astonishment: "Wang Anshi? Of course he can guess that this person is an outstanding person among men, not just a thing in the pool."
Xia Silin said: "I really didn't expect that the two of you are sympathetic to each other. Seeing as how he respects you, it's just that you like to make trouble so much. I'm afraid it's not good. After all, we are here to study. Why are there so many troubles around you? This
When I came back and almost got kicked out of the academy, I was so anxious that I didn’t know what to do.”
Seeing her concern expressive in words, Su Jin's heart moved and said: "I promise you that from today on, I will study hard and let others see."
Xia Silin smiled and said: "I don't care whether I am famous or not. I am just here to see my brother. I'm afraid I will have to go home with the heavy responsibility of getting a good name. I want to shine on my family and be my wife. Then I wish my brother to win three yuan in succession."
Xia Silin deliberately mentioned the idea of sealing his wife as a shadow, which seemed to mean asking for advice. The two had been together for a few days, but they never talked about their family situation. Xia Silin only knew that Su Jin's family was a businessman, so it was Su Jin who was testing her.
Was it deliberately disclosed due to prejudice against Merchant House?
Seeing her naughty yet warm smile, Su Jin suddenly realized that Xia Silin was an extremely beautiful woman. Although she was dressed in men's clothing, she had curved eyebrows, two small lips, and fair, almost transparent skin, but she had a unique charm even in men's clothing.
After two glances, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around, not daring to look at Xia Silin. When he saw Su Jin looking at his lips in a daze, he thought he remembered the bloody kiss on the carriage. His face turned red; when he peeked at Su Jin's lips, all he could see were rice grains on them.
There were big and small tooth marks and a small wound that had already become scarred. Thinking of that charming scene in the morning, my heart started to beat wildly.
Everyone was worried and silently came to the parking lot one after another. Sure enough, there was a small restaurant. In order to talk for free, Su Jin did not disturb Xiaozhu, who was sleeping not far away. Xia Silin also tacitly understood not to disturb his driver.
The coachman had been beaten up in the morning and was currently recuperating after eating a few balls of glutinous rice.
The two of them entered the restaurant. The restaurant was not big, but because it was adjacent to the academy, there were quite a lot of guests. The two-story building actually had a small private room separated by a bamboo fence. The shopkeeper greeted them attentively. They entered a room on the second floor that is facing the window in the northwest corner.
After settling down, he asked softly: "What do you two young masters want to eat?"
Su Jin asked strangely: "Is the shopkeeper afraid of ruining the elegant atmosphere here? Why do you speak so quietly?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "My lord, I don't know. There is a table of big shots drinking wine over there. I'm afraid it will alarm others." After saying that, he pursed his lips.
Su Jin said oh and stopped asking questions. Yingtian Academy is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and it is closely connected with the officialdom and the imperial court. It is not surprising to meet dignitaries having a banquet in the small restaurant here. In addition, the environment of this small restaurant is elegant.
The towering green trees and whirling bamboo forests are also an attractive place.
The shopkeeper apologized and said: "You two, don't blame the little old man for talking too much. Please order some food quietly and lower your voice. Don't disturb others. Although you are a little aggrieved, you two will give the little old man some money for the thin noodles."
How about a 20% discount later?"
Su Jin saw that he was very skillful in speaking kindly. Although he was asking for something, he sounded very comfortable, so he said softly: "I'd rather go to the province to help my two brothers get some light food and wine. I'll take some rice."
That’s all.”
The shopkeeper raised his thumb and said: "Young master, if you are broad-minded, you will definitely have a light taste when you are going to make great achievements in the future? Let's have a plate of tender and sweet lotus root slices mixed with sugar from Xinshi and a plate of boiled fresh shrimps from Dongcheng Lake for dipping.
How about some sauce, it's very delicious, and a plate of vegetables, little old man, and a bowl of mushroom soup for the two of you?"
Su Jin looked at Xia Silin and said, "What do you think, dear brother?"
Xia Silin nodded and said, "Thank you."
The shopkeeper poured tea for the two of them with a sweet smile and said, "Wait a moment." After that, he turned around and went downstairs to make arrangements.
The small room suddenly became quiet. The shopkeeper said that the guests at the table over there were also quiet and elegant for some reason. This was the first time for Xia Silin and Su Jin to be alone in the center of a quiet room. Their heads could not help but thump and they lowered their heads and did not dare to talk.
Su Jin's eyes met.
"This poem is so well written. I don't know who wrote it." Su Jin pointed to a pair of vertical scrolls hanging on the wall.
Xia Silin heard the words and looked around, only to see a poem recorded in cursive script on the side wall with thick ink: No slanderous words are as deep as the waves, no words, moving guests are like sand sinking, thousands of tumbles are washed away, and although the hard work blows away the wild sand, it is only then that gold comes.
.
The banner has neither signature nor title and postscript. A mindless poem is hanging there. Su Jin seems to be touched.
It’s about the gold diggers from Shu working hard to sift the sand for gold.”
Su Jin turned around and said, "Liu Mengde? What is your full name?"
Xia Silin said: "Brother Su, could you be entertaining me? Don't tell me that you haven't written any of Liu Yuxi's masterpieces, the great poet of the previous dynasty."
Su Jin was ashamed that he had never read this poem. Although later generations studied Chinese classical poetry and read a lot of it, there were so many ancient Chinese classic poems that Su Jin only scratched the surface. What’s more, he spent most of his time with that person.
The hard-to-get flowers are so entangled in the book that I haven’t read them well.
"This poem is very thoughtful. It seems to be talking about gold mining. In fact, it is a poem that uses objects to describe events. I think it is expressing something." Su Jin said.
After hearing what he said, Xia Silin turned around, savored it carefully and nodded, "Brother Su is not only expressing something, but he is also very sad and angry, as if he has been wronged in some way."
Su Jin clapped his hands and said: "It is the wise brother who is so talented and learned. It seems that he must be well-read and knowledgeable. The foolish brother feels inferior."
Xia Silin said shyly: "Brother Su made fun of the rich collection of books at home, but he read a few books, but it is ridiculous to read a lot of books and know everything about the past and present."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "Why should you be so modest? It's strange that the person who wrote this hanging scroll didn't name it or inscribe it. It's so clueless. I don't know who the master wrote it. This is also an excellent Yuxiong book."
I have copied the calligraphy sage’s cursive style, but it is not the calligraphy sage’s style.”
Xia Silin said: "This is the person with a beautiful face. The strong and vigorous muscles and bones of the face are the foundation of the face."
Su Jin was in awe of Xia Silin. With just one look, he was able to determine the characteristics of the body and casually mentioned the characteristics of the body. It was not something that someone who had worked hard would never be able to do. Su Jin looked at him with admiration and was also very interested in this fake Mr. Xia.
After all, whose daughter didn't like female red embroidery but loved writing, dancing and ink painting? It seemed like a strange person that this little rebellious person actually wanted to come to the academy to join in the trouble.
Su Jin was about to inquire about Xia Silin's details when he suddenly heard someone speaking outside: "The two young masters are discussing poetry, so I took the liberty of listening and wanted to make acquaintance. Can we meet each other?"
Su Jin and Xia Silin were shocked when they heard this. It turned out that the two of them were talking louder and louder. Xia Silin, the distinguished guest at the table, was alarmed and looked at Su Jin, obviously asking Su Jin to make up his mind.
Su Jin thought for a while and said: "My two brothers have disturbed everyone by talking about Yaxing. If you don't mind the noise, I will come to see you right away."
Xia Silin pouted and twisted his hands as if he didn't want to see a stranger. Su Jin understood that she was a woman disguised as a man and didn't want to have more contact with people, so he squeezed her little hand to express comfort.
The man on the other side who spoke up laughed and said, "Why is there such a noise? You two talk elegantly. I hope we can meet you soon."
Su Jin chuckled and pulled Xia Silin out of the small room. Looking up, he saw a young man in brocade clothes at the end of the east aisle, smiling and holding his hands, waiting for the two of them to arrive.
Su Jin saw that the man was quite impressive. His brows were full of energy. Although he was not tall, he had a kind of intimidating majesty. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He didn't know what kind of official this person was. He actually had such an aura. As the saying goes, "qi is nourished by the move."
No matter how short and insignificant a person in a high position may be, the magnanimity brought by that power is real.
The two came to the man and bowed their hands in salute. Su Jin said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, brother."
The young man in brocade clothes laughed and said, "How can you be so polite and meet each other and drink wine together?"
Su Jin nodded and said that someone had already opened the curtain. Su Jin and Xia Silin entered the cubicle and gently opened the curtain. Inside, there were five or six people sitting tall and short. Some were dressed as scholars, some were dressed like masters, and some looked like they were officials.
People usually sit upright; Su Jin slightly hesitated and pulled Xia Silin to step in.dd
