Just as Lin Yi expected, when he reached the famous Three Eyes Bridge, the old bridge in the city, he saw carriages arriving one after another and stopping in front of the restaurant on the riverside under the bridge.
He soon saw several familiar figures coming out of the carriage.
"Lin Yi!"
A young man with a delicate appearance and a warm smile saw him and immediately said hello loudly.
This classmate is named Feiyu. It’s not that he has a particularly harmonious relationship with Lin Yi, but that he is naturally good at dancing and never offends anyone. He is now able to get both sides in the court and has already become the Situ Jijiu. Regardless of his family background, he
Now he has the highest official position among all his classmates back then. This class reunion was organized by him and two other classmates.
In fact, Lin Yi didn't like his personality of trying to please everyone on the surface, which seemed a bit hypocritical, but since the other party was so polite, he certainly wouldn't be disappointed and returned the favor with a smile.
"Fei Jijiu, long time no see."
As soon as Feiyu arrived, many people in the restaurant came out to welcome him. They exchanged pleasantries and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Most people naturally greeted Lin Yi warmly, but Lin Yi could naturally see the subtle differences in their expressions.
For a sinner like him who seemed to have almost cut off his official career, no one was willing to have an in-depth chat. For fear of trouble, most of them would talk to Lin Yi for a word or two, and then chat with other classmates, talking to Lin Yi in a nonchalant manner.
I want to leave it aside.
Lin Yi was also happy to be alone. He entered Qingliufang, which had been reserved, and chose a quiet corner near the river to sit down and drink some tea.
Naturally, a few frustrated classmates who could not fit into the circle of others sat over.
It's just that most of these classmates were depressed and didn't want to say anything more. Some even poured themselves a glass of wine and drank directly.
After waiting for about half an hour, no one seemed to come again. It was already past noon, the time when most people in Jiankang City rested after meals, and there was no longer even the sound of horse hooves in the road.
Lin Yi, who was leaning against the window edge with his hand on his cheek and looking at the river, sighed quietly.
Not only did Xiao Shufei not come, but he also didn't see any of the two other people he wanted to see.
At this time, the class reunion can be considered officially started. Several people who initiated the class reunion have already started to toast, and the food and drinks have begun to be served.
The sounds in his ears were getting louder and louder, but Lin Yi had no intention of listening. He quietly stared at a fallen leaf in the river flowing down the river, while his thoughts were pulled back from the chaotic memories.
He had already made up his mind that he was not going to be welcomed by others anyway, so he would not waste time later. After casually eating some food, he found an excuse to leave quietly.
"Lin Yi."
A voice made Lin Yi turn his head.
It was Xiao Suxin again. She came over with a wine glass and apologized softly, "I was sorry for being on the road just now. In fact, I didn't mean to please Ye Chengyu and the others. I just happened to encounter their carriage when I came here, so I couldn't push it away."
Her drinking capacity was obviously not very good, and her mood swings were severe, and her fingers were trembling constantly.
"It's just a small thing, why bother." Lin Yi toasted her with a glass, drank it all in one gulp, and at the same time motioned for her to drink less.
"Actually, I didn't want to come to this class reunion, but I'm afraid if I don't come, I will never have the chance to see these classmates again." Xiao Suxin took a sip, and she calmed down a little. She hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage.
Wei Ku said: "In a few months, I will be married to Pingxing County."
"Pingxing County?" Lin Yi was stunned. Looking at her eyebrows, he found that there was no joy, so he couldn't help but asked softly, "How is your husband's family?"
"He is a wealthy businessman, but I have never met him." Xiao Suxin smiled bitterly.
Lin Yi could understand her mood.
With her previous status, how could she have married far away? Not to mention that her husband's family was just a wealthy family, and she didn't even know whether the person she was marrying was handsome or ugly, talented or not.
"I hope your husband will be as you wish." Lin Yi toasted her again and blessed her with a sincere tone.
Xiao Suxin also drank the wine in one gulp this time. Her eyes were slightly red, and she was drunk, but she also had some courage inexplicably, "To be honest, Lin Yi, you are actually one of the classmates I want to meet this time. You yourself
You may not know that you were top-notch academically and were loyal to others, so most girls actually regarded you as their elder brother. In fact, if you and Xiao Shufei hadn't been in love with each other at that time and cut off many people's thoughts, at that time,
I don’t know how many girls will have a crush on you."
"Really?" Lin Yi felt pain in her heart when she heard Xiao Shufei's name, but she just smiled slightly, "Am I that popular?"
"Of course." Xiao Suxin nodded vigorously. She had been holding back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sneer, "If it hadn't been for the new dynasty, even if you were sitting in the corner and didn't want to talk to anyone,
Aren’t you the leader of everyone here?”
"This is the happiest thing I heard at today's class reunion, but everything has changed." Lin realized that the place where Xiao Suxin was going to marry was also in a northern border town, so he deliberately reminded: "But things are unpredictable, who knows
In the future changes, don’t give up on yourself, and don’t forget some of the cultivation methods taught in our previous academy.”
"Of course I won't forget it." Xiao Suxin hadn't had such an open conversation with someone for a long time. Maybe she hadn't heard words of encouragement for a long time. She looked at Lin Yi's bright eyes and nodded vigorously, "Thank you."
"Take care." Lin Yi toasted her again.
He had a good drinking capacity, but he had a simple meal in the morning and drank three times in a row past his usual meal time, which made his head feel dizzy.
He grabbed some food to resist the drunkenness and was ready to leave.
But at this moment, a sound of horse hooves coming as fast as a shower was clearly heading towards the restaurant.
As soon as the noisy sound in the restaurant stopped, everyone looked at the road in astonishment. Lin Yi was so excited that he almost shouted out of joy.
What came was not a carriage, but two tall horses.
One of the tall horses had an empty saddle on its back, while sitting on the other tall horse was a burly and rough young man, the very "stone" he thought would never come!
The name of "Shitou" is Shi Qian. He and Lin Yi are not just casual friends with similar temperaments and personalities. Both of them are very loyal. When they were in the academy, they did several things to relieve their anger but violated the academy's rules, and they suffered a lot together.
Excessive penalties.
Lin Yi was sitting by the corner window, but Shi Qian was galloping from the road, but he still saw him at a glance. Before the horse stopped, he shouted joyfully, "Lin Yi, you are here long ago, you have harmed me."
I went to your place for a walk and picked him up."
Lin Yi suddenly felt a little warm in his heart, knowing that this friend actually found his residence to pick him up, so he came late. The empty horse on its back was originally meant for him to ride on.
Shi Hu's father, Shi Hu, was the Zhendong general in the previous dynasty. He was not originally a direct descendant of Emperor Wu of Liang. However, Shi Hu was a well-known barbarian general. He only followed Shang Feng's orders to fight and obeyed military orders. Liang Liang
Emperor Wu also understood the personality of this barbarian general, and after he ascended the throne, he also gave him a right-wing guerrilla general with military power, and his power was almost not reduced.
After Shi Qian left the academy, he joined the army with his father. He should have made some achievements in the army in the past few years, but he had lost contact with Lin Yi, and Lin Yi didn't know exactly where he was stationed with the army.
Those classmates who were in official positions in the DPRK should have some knowledge of Shi Qian. When Shi Qian arrived, many people went out to greet him, saying "General Shi" and "General Shi, you should be fined for being late" and the like.
Lin Yi didn't go out to greet him.
His relationship with Shi Qian did not require politeness at all.
Shi Yan just responded with a few words, ignored the expressions of the others, walked straight in front of him, and punched him in the chest, "Lin Yi, you kid, have you thought about me in the past few years?
"
"Do you want to be punished with you again?" Lin Yi laughed and asked.
At the same time, Shi Yan only felt his fist shake slightly, and a wave of heat made his arm slightly numb. Lin Yi's body was also shaken, and the area where he was hit became hot.
The two of them reacted instantly and were both surprised and surprised.
"Awesome, Lin Yi." Shi Yan was even more excited than Lin Yi. He hugged a bear directly and whispered in Lin Yi's ear: "You actually condensed yellow buds too?" (To be continued)
