Retirement Life - Chapter 62
On the outskirts of the imperial city, in addition to a large piece of peach forest, there is a deep and clear river in the western suburbs. Large stones are sparsely piled on both sides of the river bank, and there are several old willow trees, and willow branches hang down on the river. A breeze blew through, and the river was slightly rippling.
There is a stone bridge and a wooden bridge on the wide river. The wooden bridge board is old and looks very weak. People passing by the river will not choose it.
On both sides of the river, there are only flat grasslands, and when you look further away, you can see a forest and several paths. At the end of the path, you can see the gate of the imperial city.
The open area, the flat grass, is just the place to fly a kite.
Lin Mo called An Jinyuan and Lingyi to come out. Lin Xiu only considered Yu Yange and three friends considering their identity. Except that Yu Yange had seen his brother and Cheng Yan, no one else had seen him, and Lin Xiu was not worried.
However, to Lin Mo’s surprise, An Chengzhang would also come out with Zero One. But thinking of how much he cares about zero one, this is not impossible.
It was said to be flying a kite, but what they really wanted to play was Lin Mo, Lingyi and An Jinyuan. Lin Xiu and a few people he brought over went to Caoting to chat. Not far away are dark guards disguised as ordinary guards, and there are many shadow guards hidden in the forest.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged beside Cheng Yan and watched him make the kite’s thread. On January 1st, holding the Koi kite that An Chengzhen had prepared, he trot over, and An Chengzhen who followed him looked helpless.
“Amo Amo, let’s race and see who’s kite is flying high!” Zero one ran over and squatted beside Lin Mo, eyes bright.
Lin Mo heard it, and tilted his head to look at the unknowing closeness in his eyes. He felt in his heart and finally reached out and touched his head.
“it is good.”
“Then I’ll join it, too.” An Jinyuan looked at them both and smiled.
There is always something wrong between Amo and Zero One.
After everything was ready, the kites placed on the grass were successively released into the air, and the little crickets and some dark guards stood side by side and carefully controlled the line in their hands. Lin Mo took it from Cheng Yan, then sat on the grass and looked up at the sky.
Cheng Yan sat behind him with Lin Mo’s back against his chest. Looking down at the smile on his face, Cheng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his arms around his waist virtually.
Just laugh out. Although I don’t know why Lin Mo is in a bad mood, Cheng Yan still doesn’t want to see his sad face. In Cheng Yan’s heart, Lin Mo should be smiling.
“So pretty …” Lin Mo’s head rested on Cheng Yan’s chest, looking up at the colorful kite in the sky, his eyes full of wonder.
Lin Mo remembered that when he was a kid, his brother took him to fly a kite, and there were many people at that time, and there were many kites in the sky, but it was not as impressive as this time.
“Did you prepare?” Lin Mo asked, looking at Cheng Yan behind him. But the look in his eyes was clearly determined that Cheng Yan had ordered it.
“Um.” Cheng Yan took the kite line in his hand and made a few fiddles. The big eagle, which had been suppressed by the Koi kite by Zero One and An Chengzhen, flew higher.
“I guess it’s only you who will let Yingyi show up and fly kites. It’s a big deal.” Lin Mo glanced at the few ordinary-looking men in black who were serious about setting up the kite, and still had one in each hand Inexplicably happy.
“Nothing, they’re quite happy.” Besides, the brother’s dark guard is also among them.
“The shadow of them looks so ordinary?” Lin Mo’s thoughts jumped to another place and poked Cheng Yan’s hand.
Although the several shadow guards Lin Mo saw before were wearing masks, according to their body, Lin Mo thought that they should also look good. At least it won’t be recognized in the crowd like this, which is somewhat unexpected by Lin Mo.
If it weren’t for their wearing black clothes and their unique coldness, Lin Mo would probably have mistakenly thought they were ordinary guards.
“Yi Rong, why? Momo seems to be interested in them … especially looks, eh?” Cheng Yan’s chin rested on his shoulder, his head tilted slightly, his tone a little dangerous.
“Where is it? It’s just curiosity. Besides, I’m only interested in you.” Lin Mo heard the meaning in Cheng Yan’s tone and quickly responded. In previous lives, when he was reading novels, he was very cute about the loyal dogs like Shadow Guard and Dark Guard, so he paid more attention.
The old attack is a jar of vinegar, which is a sweet burden.
“Um. Momo just looks at me, I look better than them.” Cheng Yan took people in his arms, and from time to time put some lines to make the kite fly higher.
“… Cheeky.” Lin Mo fluttered and laughed.
Lin Xiu, who was sitting and chatting over the thatched cottage, was naturally attracted by the scenery in the sky. Although the kites vary in size and color. But stopping in the air neatly and neatly together was quite shocking.
Lin Xiu returned to God, and looked away at the brother and brother sitting on the grass across the river, and the worry in his heart also dissipated. When Lin Mo came to find him yesterday, Lin Xiu knew that his brother’s mood was quite wrong. He thought it was what happened between Lin Mo and Cheng Yan.
Fortunately, Lin Mo’s situation has improved.
Lin Xiu saw the distant younger brother’s unclear smile, his lips slightly raised a smile, then turned his head to continue chatting with them.
“… Speaking of which, I admire my uncle and his wife, a girl in a boudoir has such good literacy.” A man in Tsing Yi said with a fan.
“Although so, her poetic styles are different. A woman can write the tragedy of a battle in the sand? I don’t believe it, but it is better to be said by His Royal Highness Cheng.”
The others heard it and laughed. No one knows, His Royal Highness Cheng has fought on the battlefield for many years, it is easy to kill the enemy, and writing poetry is not necessarily. This is also a disguised saying that they have doubts about the literary talents of the prime minister and daughter-in-law.
Lin Xiu heard it, his smile faded.丞相 丞 女 … Su Qingran … What kind of person is that woman? Is it that many men are obsessed with her, or is it like a big brother’s guess, is it a monster that can’t be confused?
Will also make those exquisite poems, if there is no reminder of the elder brother’s previous life, perhaps Lin Xiu, like the previous life, has some interest in that woman.
Lin Xiu, who has been in the Imperial City, has been staying at Cheng Wang’s Mansion, and occasionally goes to a tea house to relax. Fortunately, he had never seen the legendary maid of honor, including Lin Mo’s handwriting.
“Second Brother! Come here!”
Lin Xiu heard his brother’s call, turned back, and looked over to see Lin Mo beckoning to them.
“Let’s talk, I’ll go across to see.” Lin Xiu said to them and got up and left, promised his brother to accompany him out to play, it’s fine.
Except for Yan Ge, the other three looked at each other. All three of them are from Beijing, and their families are prominent. Some of them are also officials in the North Korean Central Government.
The relationship between the three is okay. They are all from the same academy and have been in the same class for many years. They also know each other’s family history. At the beginning, they and Yu Yange had a good relationship with their elders. Yu’s status in the imperial city was no lower than that of his uncle.
But later they were convinced by Yu Yange’s talents. Even if there was no family account, they would be happy to make good friends with Yu Yange. After all, finding a like-minded friend was not easy.
Relative to the family background of the four, they don’t know much about Lin Xiu’s situation. All I know is that he and his brother went to Beijing from a remote place to rush to take the exam. Now they live in his brother’s house temporarily. Now it seems that his brother-in-law’s family is not ordinary, but unfortunately a few of them do not go out often, and it is not clear who that person is.
“Let’s go too. I just prepared a few kites,” Yu Yange laughed.
As for His Royal Highness Cheng, they still don’t want to pass. Fortunately, the grass on both sides of the river is as spacious as they are here.
“Brother Yu, how many people do you know?” The man in Tsing Yi walking beside asked, the others were curious. It is really my brother Lin Xiu’s family is too mysterious, they have never seen it.
“The person beside Lin Xiu’s brother is His Royal Highness Cheng.” Yu Yange looked at them and said. I thought they were not curious, but I didn’t expect to ask for a long time.
Every time Lin Xiu went to the tea house, he was accompanied by a small cricket and more than a dozen guards, and the carriage he took also had the sign of Cheng Wangfu, but they hadn’t noticed it before.
“Cheng … Her Royal Highness Cheng ?!” the three of them whispered and whispered, their faces were unbelievable.
“I heard that His Royal Highness Cheng has returned to Beijing. After so long, I thought that he had gone to the border again. I did not expect that he is still in the Imperial City.”
Although His Royal Highness Cheng is a household name in Lao Kingdom, it is rarely seen in the Imperial City. Wang Cheng returned to Beijing very few times, and he wore a mask on his face every time he returned with honor, and only a few of them had been seen.
Yu Yange was this small group of people. He had been a servant to His Royal Highness Cheng Cheng for a while as a child. Later Wang Cheng went to Bianguan. He was also sent away from the imperial city due to family reasons. I did not expect to meet again. They were already this age.
Yu Yange lifted his eyes and looked at Cheng Yan, Cheng Wangfu, with a smile on his face. When he was young, he didn’t understand why His Highness Cheng, who was his age, always treated others indifferently, until he grew up, it became clear.
When you get something, you also lose something. What Grandpa once told him comes to mind. In the past, Yu Yange thought that His Royal Highness Cheng will not smile at anyone except the two he cares about.
It seems that he should have found the person in his heart.
“His Royal Highness Cheng is rumored to be ruthless. Now it seems that the rumors are not credible.” Obviously he also saw His Royal Highness Cheng’s gentle side at this time, although it was a bit scary to them.
“I heard that His Royal Highness Cheng also brought back King Wang Cheng when he returned to Beijing, but no one has seen it. I would not believe it if His Majesty later said he would get married two months later,” said the man in Tsing Yi, shaking his fan.
“After all, no one had expected His Royal Highness Cheng to get married so early, His Royal Highness was only twenty years old?”
Although many men already had a few children when they were twenty years old, there was the premise that His Majesty the Emperor had not yet married the Emperor husband. They thought that His Royal Highness Cheng would be later than His Majesty, and would not even marry his wife.
They and His Royal Highness Cheng are also considered to be the same age. They did not want to be distracted because of their fame, so they did not get married. Now it seems that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, who is the least likely to get married in their hearts, has been preempted.
Lin Xiu didn’t know that his friends were talking about him. Now he is being pushed by his brother to His Royal Highness Jin Yuan, saying that His Royal Highness Jin Yuan has only one person and asked him to come and accompany him.
Lin Xiu couldn’t help but smile. His Highness Jin Yuan is a brother, or the most honorable brother of Lao Guo. Is it appropriate for him to accompany him? Lin Xiu glanced at Cheng Yan aside, then looked at another man with a similar face to Cheng Yan.
Needless to say, Lin Xiu could also guess the identity of the man.
Lin Xiu didn’t know what An Jinyuan meant to him, and he didn’t dare to show his mind. Lin Xiu was worried that he would be wrong.
“Let’s go over there. There are too many kites here, and if you accidentally get entangled.” An Jinyuan tilted her head to Lin Xiu and smiled.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Lin Xiu returned to God, carefully moving the kite in his hand to the other side.
“You …” An Jinyuan stopped talking.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xiu wondered.
“Nothing, let’s go.” An Jinyuan shook her head.
He will try it in a few days. He has one month left, so he will try again later.
