Chapter 29: Yu Rong (Part 1) (1)

The second update has passed, and in the courtyard of Di Mansion in Luoyang, the sounds of summer cicadas and autumn insects are heard one after another. Before we knew it, it was the beginning of autumn solar term. Although the heat has not faded, the insects that have hibernated the whole summer in the soil can no longer hold back and join the singing of summer nights. It seems that even they understand that time flies, the world is ruthless, and don’t let it go. This is just a short life of a season. Even if they are so humble that they can only bury their heads in the grass, they must sing out the loudest desire.

Yang Lin sat in front of the desk, his mind filled with the noise in the quiet night. He felt his heart was upset and worried. The book was so heartless that he couldn't even read a word. He said goodbye to his mother in front of the yard, and He Shuzhen was heartbroken. He was heartbroken. In the past few days after he came back, Yang Lin was no longer concerned about his homework. He was weighing the whole thing repeatedly in his mind. Confusion and fear made him feel at ease day and night. He Shuzhen's words made him feel sad. He was sure that the intention of Shen's uncle and nephew was even more sinister than expected. In addition to the death of Chen Tingfang, the huge rock that weighed on Yang Lin's heart forced him to wake up from the nightmare every night. Yang Lin really wanted to retreat, to escape far away, and to leave! However, the most terrifying thing in this world was that he had no choice, but had to hold shameful delusions. The days passed quickly in anxiety and torture, and Di Renjie and Shen Huai came back.

There was Di Chun's housekeeper cooking in the mansion. Di Renjie immediately settled down after returning to the mansion. Everything in the mansion was in order, without any chaotic appearance. Yang Lin hugged in his house all day long, not daring to walk around, and could feel the atmosphere in the mansion reappearing solemn and rigorous. He couldn't help but think in annoyance that even if he wanted to escape, he completely lost the opportunity. The day after returning to Luoyang, Chen Huai came here, asked a few coldly and turned around and left, and never appeared again. And Di Renjie never summoned Yang Lin, as if he had forgotten him.

It's better to forget it. Yang Lin really wished he could be forgotten by everyone in the world. At this moment, he stared at the inkstone in front of him. A little flying insect followed the candlelight and crashed into the freshly ground ink in the inkstone, struggling and unable to get out. Yang Lin stretched out his little finger and gently pushed it out. The insect stumbled on the desk, rolling out a series of black seals, and finally spread its wings. Yang Lin's eyes followed its light flying figure until the end of the dark night outside the window.

"Yang Lin, it's so late, are you still working hard?" Yang Lin was shocked and turned his head to look at it. He saw Di Renjie wearing plain clothes, standing by the door with his hands on his back, his face calmly and his expression was a little tired. "Di, Lord Di!" Yang Lin never expected Di Renjie to come here in person, and his tongue was nervous and his tongue was not smooth. He stepped to the door in two steps and bowed to the ground. Di Renjie smiled and stepped into the door: "I've been back for so long, and I've just got time tonight. Let's see how you are? Are everything good? How are you preparing for your homework?"

"I...uh, I'm born late, everything is fine. Homework, homework..." Yang Lin was a little incoherent. Di Renjie looked at his blushing face and laughed loudly: "Hey, don't be so nervous. This cabinet will not eat people." Yang Lin scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. Di Renjie slowly walked to the desk, flipped through the spread books, and sighed: "The country's choice of scholars must be borrowed from virtuous people. Students in the world have been in a state of hard work for ten years. What they pursue is to serve the country and the people, and it is definitely not wealth and glory." He looked at Yang Lin who was standing in a cramped manner and said meaningfully: "Yang Lin, after reading your "Lingzhou Fu", we know that you understand this principle."

Yang Lin lowered his head, but he couldn't answer a word. Di Renjie's deep eyes stopped on Yang Lin for a moment, before stroking his beard and asked kindly: "What? Don't you want to ask this cabinet to sit down?" "Ah, Lord Di, please sit down." Yang Lin hurriedly asked Di Renjie to sit down on the desk, and picked up the teapot to pour tea, but his hands kept shaking, sprinkling a table of tea. Di Renjie watched his movements quietly, and after a while, he said: "Don't be busy, I'll sit down and leave. Besides... I never drink herbal tea." "Yes." Yang Lin stood down the teapot and stood up, but he didn't even dare to raise his eyelids slightly.

Di Renjie was silent, crossing Yang Lin's restrained and shrunk figure, his eyes fell on the flower stand under the east window, and the tender branches of Suxin's heart-cold orchid sighed: "There are too many things to do, I'm afraid I don't have too much time..."

Liao Chen was shocked: "Why did Brother Huaiying say this?" Di Renjie smiled faintly: "Life is seventy years old. Di is already seventy years old this year. I always think these days that some long-cherished wishes may not be fulfilled in my lifetime. When traveling to Longyou, Di experienced life and death again. Although it was heart-wrenching, he was helpless. He also knew that his life was limited and his manpower was limited. It was time to consider entrusting his unfinished wishes to future generations." Liao Chen widened his eyes and twisted the Buddhist beads. After a while, he said in pain: "Di Gong is full of peaches and students all over the world. Brother Huaiying has already made arrangements."

Di Renjie looked ahead, and his face showed endless sadness and melancholy: "There are indeed some people who can be trusted in the court. However, under the great responsibility, various forces and factions are disturbed, and countless undercurrents and dangers are difficult to take into account for for a while. For example, the explanation I just talked about, even the frontiers and foreign enemies, and even looking back at the center, from the inner court to the Eastern Palace, any carelessness will lead to a situation where everything is lost. When Di cannot sleep at night, he feels extremely anxious whenever he thinks about it, but... there is no one who makes Di completely trust and feel at entrusting the overall situation to him. Whenever he thinks of this, I am really burning all over..." The words behind him were choked in his throat, and he lifted up his sleeves and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.
