Zhancheng South

Han Jin has been waiting at the door of the young master's room for an hour. He thought that the young master asked him to wake up earlier today, so he waited at the door of the young master's room early. Unexpectedly, he waited for a full hour.

He and the young master got up and stretched, and when they stepped out of the door, they retracted their feet for a moment, changed their faces in an instant, and asked the boy who was holding the wash water: "Why is there someone waiting at the door, but I can't see you?" Say something?"

The little servant grinned, and said, "Young master, when Han Jin came over just now, the little one wanted to wake you up. He saw that you were still asleep, so he told the little one not to disturb you. waiting in the yard."

The eldest young master didn't say anything after listening, he just waved his hand to signal the boy to back down, and then asked Han Jin, "Why are you so early?"

Han Jin didn't answer, but pursed his lips and said, "Where are we going today?"

The eldest young master also sighed when he saw this, this man is good at everything, but he is stubborn, tell him to get up early, who told him to get up so early, look at the sky and wake up at about Mao o'clock.

The young master absolutely refuses to admit that it was because he suddenly slept very well last night, overslept, and had a pretty good dream. Although he couldn't remember it clearly when he woke up, he still felt happy. , I vaguely feel that it has something to do with the person in front of me.

The young master felt inexplicable in his heart, and stared at Han Jin with a complicated expression. Seeing his serious face, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." He raised his legs and wanted to leave.

Han Jin yelled: "Young master just got up and hasn't had breakfast yet."

He Yan's heart warmed up, and the last trace of inexplicability dissipated from his heart, and he smiled lightly at Han Jin and said, "Let's go, I won't have breakfast at the mansion, young master, I will take you to the street today. eat."

As a servant who was devoted to his duties and won the favor of his master, Han Jin felt that he could not go against his master's wishes at this time, so the two happily went to the streets to find food.

Obviously at this time, both of them forgot that Xia Mengyu was still at the house, and they agreed to take him to eat, drink and have fun together!The sixth prince said that he also wanted to go to the street for breakfast!

By the time the two arrived at Zhongnan Road, a well-known food street in Jinling, the sun was already high. It was the middle of summer and the weather was a bit hot, perhaps because of the approaching rainy season.

The restaurants and restaurants on the street have also opened. Although they are not unpopular, they are not as attractive as the biscuits, wontons, pot stickers, and pastries on the street.

The young master waved his hand, and yelled and ate whatever he wanted, Han Jin couldn't help but laugh. The young master usually looks like a worldly expert, and always feels like a god standing high on the altar Well, the appearance of this market gentleman has been watched by countless people, and he doesn't seem to care.

Han Jin pondered: Last night, he said that he would take me to meet someone today. The young master is not very forgetful. Could it be that the food on the street has something to do with the person he wants to meet?

If Master He knew what Han Jin was thinking, he would probably reply to him: Young man, don't think too much!

In the spirit of the young master's treat, Han Jinke ate enough, glanced at the flattened money bag of the young master, and finally said: I'm done eating.

The young master's heart ached, and he thought to himself: Didn't I make you full on weekdays?

It's pitiful, no one knows whether he loves the money bag or whether Han Jin is not full on weekdays.

He Yan led Han Jin through this street full of tempting aromas, and through the white walls and black tiles on both sides, into the depths of Changgan Alley.

Different from the hustle and bustle of Zhongnan Road, there are still a few faint figures at the entrance of the alley. The deeper you go, the quieter it becomes. It is a bit muggy, but in this deep alley, although there is no wind, it seems to be faint. coolness.

In the depths of the ancient alley, a young man in white was walking slowly with his hands behind his back, followed by a young man in green with picturesque eyes, following unhurriedly, suddenly the houses on both sides seemed to have disappeared.

The young master is not like the young master, but more like a hermit living in the mountains. He is full of vigor, strategizing, but watching coldly. The young man in Tsing Yi is not like a young man. He could smell the snowstorm in the mountains in the morning.

The young man in white knocked lightly on the door and only knocked once, as if he was thinking about whether to keep knocking. Just as he was about to knock again, there was a sound from inside the door: "The door is unlocked, come in."

He Yan had no choice but to push the door open, looked back, and said to Han Jin, "Come in."

Han Jin took a little look around, the courtyard that matched the appearance very well, and the owner who matched the courtyard very well.

He Yan saluted, and said: "Old Lin." Then he pulled Han Jin to salute,

"This person is the person you wanted to see last time. I hope you can teach him carefully when I bring him here this time."

Han Jin understood that it was the young master who brought him here to learn art from a teacher. Presumably this "Old Lin" was also a big shot, so Han Jin could probably guess who he was.

In the past, Beili was not called Beili, but a tribe of Fanbang. The Central Plains was not what it is now. At that time, the emperor of the Central Plains was not named Xiao. Han Jin didn’t know which era was better. When I was young, I hadn’t met He Yan, but there were people who gave him warmth by his side. The old people along the road dragged their dying bodies and smiled helplessly. The past ten years have been peaceful and prosperous!

The Jiang royal family of the previous dynasty accumulated power for nearly 700 years, but the last generation was only 20 years old, the clans were separated, the family struggled, and the century-old foundation was dragged down abruptly. Eyeing.

Although the Emperor Xiao of the Southern Liang Dynasty was born as a military general, he was known as a virtuous man. He was ordered to guard the northern border, but he did not know which day he turned his back on him. He also made a mistake and secretly colluded with the northern tribes. In the Central Plains, the northern states do not have to bow their heads to proclaim themselves ministers, and do not have to pay tribute to the court. With the Qingshi River as the boundary, they can be ruled by the river.

□□The time when the emperor ascended the throne was approaching. After he ascended the throne, most of the important ministers of the previous court were still in their original positions. During his reign, although the people were not said to be rich, the country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace. However, two incidents happened during his reign A big event, the Han family guarded the northwest, but the Han-style lineage was killed by bandits composed of refugees from the northwest. The former general Lin Zhu, who guarded the southwest, bid farewell to his old age and returned to his hometown. The remaining soldiers of the Han family took over temporarily. In the 13th year, when the new emperor came to the throne, he was just established, and changed to Yuan Changjian.

Back then, old general Lin Zhu was a generation of loyal officials and famous generals. Why did he keep silent when the Xiao family rebelled?As the founding hero of the Jiang Kingdom, the Han family is still honored even though a hundred years have passed, and they hold a heavy army. If they hadn't acquiesced, how could the Xiao family win the Central Plains?But why did his children disappear after only a few years after the establishment of the new dynasty?But two years after the current Holy One ascended the throne, the descendants of the Han family withered, and four years later, the Han family had no successors, and the troops stationed in various places had no leaders.

Han Jin could understand what He Yan meant by sending him here to the old general. It was nothing more than to let him learn the way of marching and using soldiers from the old general. Everyone thought his surname was Han. He didn't know if his surname was Han, but he knew that the Han character in his name was indeed not his.

Han Jin had no choice but to salute Mr. Lin, and then looked at the young master, "Han Jin doesn't understand the young master's intentions."

Elder Lin, who had been silent all this time, coughed aloud, "Hejia boy, I still know what your virtues are. Although I asked you to bring this kid over to have a look, do you really decide?" Elder Lin seemed to have no idea. Hearing what Han Jin said, he still said the same thing.

He Yan looked at the half-grown boy with a serious face, and suddenly couldn't help pulling his hair, it didn't hurt, it seemed like he was punishing a disobedient doll, then let go of his hand, and said with a serious face: From today onwards, you are no longer a servant of my family and I, your master is old general Lin Zhulin, from now on, you must respect your teacher and stop messing around like before."

Han Jin sternly said: "My son, Han Jin already has a master, and he will only worship one in his life. Old general Lin is a great talent, but Han Jin must not abandon his master's teachings. Forgive Han Jin for not obeying orders. Han Jin really has nothing to do with military affairs. talent."

He Yan seemed to be a little angry, "Old General Lin used his soldiers like a god, are you afraid that he can't teach you well and insult your Han family's reputation?"

Old General Lin's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed when he saw this, and said: "Okay, I won't worship if I don't want to be a teacher, and I don't need an apprentice like him to retire. Since you entrusted him to me, I will naturally Teach well, although it may not be able to teach an invincible general, but no matter how poor the qualifications of the Han family are, they will not be an idiot who marches and fights, so you can relax." Then he looked up at the sky, "Look It's already noon, you might as well stay and have a table with my old man."

He Yan just wanted to decline, and waited to go back to ask Han Jin what was going on, but was pulled to sit down by old general Lin Zhu, and He Yan had to pull Han Jin to sit down on the table.

Only now did Han Jin see this dilapidated courtyard, but it was actually complete with all internal organs. He couldn't help but think in his heart that this general looked like a hermit, and he was not really a pure person.

Han Jin has never seen that era. The so-called Han clan responded to everyone's wishes and followed the people's will. General Lin guarded the southwest and planned strategies.

The extermination of the Han family is a fact. Old General Lin has been in command and sealed it for more than [-] years. There have been rumors that he is no longer alive. What's more, it is said that the old man has already transcended nature and ascended to the heaven. There is such a person hidden in the streets and alleys. This big person lives in a small shabby house, and he looks a bit like an outsider. It is only the attendants who come out from all around and the guards who hide in the dark. The big man does not mean "big hermit hides in the city".

It seemed that seeing Han Jin thoughtful, Lin Zhu didn't pay attention to self-cultivation, and asked while eating: "Hey, when you came here, you came from Zhongnan Road, right? Tell me, Han Jin, what do you think the people of Jinling City How are you eating?"

Han Jin put down his chopsticks and thought about it seriously, "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't understand the old general's meaning. The people in Jinling City live and work in peace and contentment. Although they don't have all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, there is no problem for ordinary people to satisfy their hunger."

But that's the biggest problem!Han Jin thought to himself, why are the refugees running around everywhere, hungry and frozen like a mountain, only the people in Jinling City are still living and working in peace and contentment. , but when it happened, it was quickly suppressed. It seems that Jiangnan has been given special preferential treatment during the years of fighting.

The old general was obsessed with eating, as if he didn't hear what Han Jin said, Han Jin didn't struggle when he saw this, and he would talk when he was full.

The old general beckoned for people to remove all the things, and then pinched his beard and squinted his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that Jinling City will not be safe for a few days. Go back today, and start tomorrow. No more."

After returning to He Mansion, the Eldest Young Master saw that the people who followed him were still following him, and couldn't help but said: "You blame me. After bringing you back, your identity is unknown, and outsiders will regard you as a servant." The big steward just listened Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing, whose servants are treated so well!

Han Jin looked at the person in front of him with a flickering look and asked such words and smiled, "I don't know what the young master thinks, you look up and down the whole house, up to the old housekeeper who watched you grow up, down to the horse breeder in the backyard Groom, who treats me like a servant?"

He Yan opened his mouth to say something, but Han Jin knew that it was nothing more than his reputation. The rumored reputation in the market regarded Han Jin as a servant of sex, and it was true that He Yan did not say what name Han Jin left behind. By He Yan's side, if it's just this, Han Jin actually doesn't care.

He Yan seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Han Jin, "He Yan, when you picked me up from the snow four years ago, I was only 12 years old. I have been in Hefu for four years, and I am willing to serve you Serving you with your status is not because the family is contemptuous or neglectful. You treat me kindly, even my own elder brother has never been so kind.

It is my good fortune to meet you in my homeless body, Frostbone, and I have taken care of you for four years for nothing. "

This is probably the first time Han Jin called me by my name. The young master thought to himself that he is usually called by the young master and the young master. After hearing this, my name still sounds very nice, but after all, this kid is still the first. The first time I said such a long word, it was serious, what kind of brotherhood, took advantage of it, what kind of nonsense.

The old housekeeper chuckled behind him. There is something wrong with these two young masters today, and they are being too polite.

He Yan also seemed to feel it, and chuckled lightly. This smile was not the hypocritical and habitual smile in the past, but it was a little spoiled. Han Jin was inexplicably flustered. Before he could dodge, he heard a low laugh, " Han Jin, when I picked you up back then, I didn't just do it out of kindness, and you must know that I never treated you as an ordinary child."

After saying that, he smiled before leaving, Han Jin sneered in his heart, hum, continue to pretend, if he doesn't treat me as an ordinary person, he will still be so spoiled?If this is really a milk doll, it would have been wronged by you a long time ago.

The old butler wiped the sweat from his brow behind him, hesitant to speak.

The two were half-hearted and half-run, but He Yan stayed up all night. For a while, he missed the romance when he was young, cuddling with the red and leaning against the green, and for a while, he was sad about the death of his parents and had no relatives. The heavy snow when he got up, and the boy's stubborn eyes for a while, he couldn't help but lament that the immature and clumsy child who looked calm and indifferent back then has now grown into such a bear.
