Ink-colored rivers and mountains reflect peach blossoms

? Lin Qianhong grew up in Zhilanting, and Murong and Murong are not only classmates, but also childhood friends.

Seeing the old friend, Lin Qianhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the servants to prepare the food and drinks, but the two hadn't seen each other for many years, and they couldn't find anything to talk about, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Ten years have passed, Lin Qianhong really wants to know if her childhood sweetheart is doing well, but she doesn't know how to ask. He has been in the business world for many years, and he has never been so hesitant, so he had to find an entry point: "Xiaomu, how is Mr. Qin recently?"

Murong put down his teacup, with a calm expression: "Mr. Qin passed away in the second year after you left. But don't worry, I write your name on the paper every year, and he won't blame you. I remember Qin When the master was alive, he often mentioned you, saying that if you live well in the future, Zhilan Academy will be regarded as a talent."

Lin Qianhong couldn't help shaking the hand holding the wine glass.

That's right, Mr. Qin must be dead, not only Mr. Qin, but the whole Zhilan Ting was destroyed.A year after Lin Qianhong left, Zhi Lanting was completely burned by Chaohuasi. Chaohuasi's status in Jialing was equivalent to that of an emperor, and no one dared to say anything about burning down a small academy.But when Lin Qianhong heard the news, she ran over before she could be sad, but only found a piece of ruined wall that had been chewed up by the fire and then spit out, and corpses that could no longer tell who was who.

Over the years, he thought that his past, his mentor, his aspirations, and even the person he wanted to protect the most had all been buried in that fire, but he didn't expect that now Murong is not only alive, but also found him.It is also because of this that Lin Qianhong took a sliver of luck, is it true that other old people are still alive?

However, it is a great fortune for God to return Murong, and the other people he cares about have indeed left.

"You have suffered all these years." Lin Qianhong didn't feel so sorry for everyone, "But since you are alive, why didn't you come to me until now?"

Murong chuckled: "Do you still remember our missing classmate Chu Qiangdi, he is now the owner of a Qizhen Pavilion in Xueyou Town, he is closer to you, and he didn't come to look for you. He already knows about you It took a lot of effort to get the family business, so it's inconvenient to support him, an idler, so I don't know the reason."

"I know your painstaking efforts." Lin Qianhong sighed, "How are you doing recently, or stay in Xueyou Town."

"I'm fine. Mr. Qin said that to be a good person is to lead people into the right way. After I left Zhilanting, I also became a teacher and accepted an apprentice. I originally planned to find a place to live. Although I heard others It is said that the Lin family's business is booming, but they don't know how you have been all these years?"

"Of course, in the end it was my aunts who took the first step before I had a stable life. Oh yes, I will let you meet my son when Huzi comes back. He is 11 years old this year."

"But I remember that you have only been away from Zhilanting for ten years." In Murong's memory, Lin Qianhong never did anything wrong when she was in Zhilanting, and she never even touched a woman's hand.

Lin Qianhong smiled and said: "He was originally my sister's child, but my sister died, because he is a boy, if he doesn't recognize me as his father, he will become the next me."

Murong sighed: "It's not easy for everyone."

Before Jialing was managed by Chaohuasi, women were superior to men, and men and women have only become equal in recent decades, and the Lin family has been ruled by women for generations, and the boys born to the head of the family will be sent away, and they will not be taken back until the next head of the family takes over. .Of course, many of those boys died before being picked up. Lin Qianhong was sent to Zhilanting at birth. If his sister hadn't disappeared and the Lin family needed someone in charge to calm people's hearts, he might I will never be taken back in this life.

In fact, Lin Qianhong was even more curious about how Murong survived. All the people who were in Zhilanting died back then, and those who were still alive were those who were not present during the massacre.And Murong promised himself that he would stay in Zhilanting until he went back, and would not leave... After thinking about it, Lin Qianhong couldn't even say this question.

Lin Qianhong is a straightforward person, she can let go if she says to let go, as long as Murong is fine, anyway, his Murong is always his Murong, he really doesn't care about other things: "We meet again after a long time, I will give you a surprise later."

Murong was silent, but there was a bit of peace in his eyes.

It seems that even after ten years, the Lin Qianhong he knew has not changed.

This meal was eaten at the wrong time, whether it was sooner or later, and Murong was a strict person, not only taught his students not to eat or sleep, but also did not allow Lin Qianhong to say anything.Poor Master Lin's domineering temperament developed over the years, when he met Murong, he could only swallow the bitterness in his stomach.

And in the middle of the meal, the muddy Huzi ran back, and when he saw the stranger, the kid was not restrained, just curious: "Why is Daddy eating at this time?"

Huzi likes to play around, but he will come back on time every meal time, so Lin Qianhong didn't specify what time he must go home, anyway, his children are always punctual when it comes to eating.Today, Hu Zi was called back, and he was also very curious about what important guest his father had met.

"Huzi, this is Murong, my classmate and friend, just call him Mr. Mu." Lin Qianhong would only be so informal in front of people she cared about, and wiped Huzi's face with her sleeve , "Murong, this is my child, his nickname is Huzi."

Huzi looked at Murong with a smile: "Then your surname is Murong or Murong?"

"My name is Murong." Murong has always liked children, especially children like Huzi, who can tell at a glance that I am lively and difficult to discipline. This way it will be challenging to discipline. "When we first met, I didn't bring any greetings. , I’ll give you the stack of books I’ve given you later.”

Huzi scratched his head: "But I'm most afraid of reading."

"Your father was also afraid of reading when he was a child, isn't it now..." Murong glanced at Lin Qianhong, "I haven't made any progress."

"That's why I want Huzi to study hard." Lin Qianhong hit it off, "Or you can stay in my house and be Huzi's teacher." The Lin family belongs to one of the Donghua Thirteen Families, and there is no school Dare to accept Huzi, if she hires a special teacher, Lin Qianhong would not dare to use someone she doesn't know well.

"That's not acceptable." Murong smiled and shook his head, "I'm taking other students with me."

Lin Qianhong said: "Teaching who is not teaching? You can bring that child here too."

"Daddy, Mr. Mu." Hu Zi pouted, "Can we talk about this matter after we have our stomach full?"

Lin Qianhong and Murong glanced at each other and laughed involuntarily. Anyway, eating is the most important thing now. Since everything is close at hand, why rush it?

Satisfied with wine and food, Lin Qianhong sent Huzi back to the room to play, while he led Murong outside, saying that Murong was not allowed to peek, and blindfolded him all the way.If it were someone else, Murong would definitely think that this was an attempt to plot something wrong, but for Lin Qianhong, Murong was relieved, he didn't think that his childhood sweetheart who seemed to have no eyes since childhood could do anything to him.

The black cloth that covered his eyes was taken off, and it was the setting sun, and the sky was filled with rays of light and matched with the scenery in front of him, Murong was stunned.

The Baili Chunhua in Taohuatan, the green and coquettish green of Biliuyan, the intertwined and lingering mandarin duck trees, and the seemingly dilapidated Zhilan Academy, which is expensive every brick and tile... These are the beautiful scenery of Zhilanting once. .

Many people are fascinated by Zhilanting, a fairyland on earth. After being swallowed by the ruthless fire, legends about its former beauty spread all over the streets and alleys, and Lin Qianhong actually recreated these legends in her own courtyard !

Murong was dumbfounded, he didn't know how much the person who built this garden had a deep attachment to Zhi Lanting, but he understood the weight of Zhi Lanting in that person's heart.

Lin Qianhong was a little proud: "This is my home in Beppu. My sister named it Qinxueyuan. Later, I built these scenery. How about it, does it look like our academy?"

Murong looked carefully at the yard, but sighed: "This place is good, but it's a pity you shouldn't do this."

Facing Murong, Lin Qianhong's childlike heart changed: "I used the money I earned to build the garden, what's wrong?"

Murong sighed: "Building this garden is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming. Beware of people saying you are rich and unkind. The Lin family has been lonely for a long time. You are just getting started. Word-of-mouth is extremely important."

"Yeah, I really didn't think about it comprehensively." Lin Qianhong nodded, "So, I need someone like you to stay by my side. I can rest assured only if you are here."

Murong turned her head: "Stay by your side?"

"Stay here, I won't leave this time." The person who has been in love for ten years and dreams every night has finally come to her again, and Lin Qianhong will naturally not let go.

Murong laughed: "How do you say that, it seems like a monk can't run away from the temple?"

Lin Qianhong's face turned red in an instant, not because she was laughed at, but because he found that he liked the smiling face of the person in front of him more and more: "Then what should I say?"

Murong thought for a while, and said: "You should say, you won't let me go now."

"Then...are you staying?" Lin Qianhong hadn't spoken in such a soft voice for a long time, as if she was afraid that she might say something wrong and make Murong unhappy, "Don't you want to teach and educate people like Mr. Qin? You can turn this into a private school, let Huzi and the students you bring study here, and then recruit a few new students, this will not only satisfy your wish, but also won't have anyone gossiping."

"How do you know that my wish is still to be a private school teacher?" Murong smiled slightly, "And how do you know that I won't stay?"

Lin Qianhong's face showed joy: "Really?"

Murong: "Could it be possible for you to offer a few more conditions that will make my heart beat?"

Lin Qianhong held back for a long time before choking out a sentence: "This... I... I don't want to live without seeing you again, does this count?"

"Forget it, of course it does!." Murong suddenly smiled, "I see you this time, you really can run away, and monks can't run away from the temple."

Their eyes met, and they unconsciously lowered their heads.The spring breeze takes the petals of peach blossoms to the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and finally merges with it. The tranquility at this time seems not to belong to the world.

The garden is full of □□ peaches and fragrance, and the breeze and fine water are full of affection.

The gentle ballad flutters and flows, and the lingering in the eyes is reflected in the water of the peach blossom pool, another warm spring has arrived. ?
