Lin Xuan of the Red Chamber

Li Yan is cheerful by nature and loves to play and make trouble. Since the two met, Lin Xuan has almost never seen Li Yan in such a downcast state, but he didn't know how to comfort this kind of thing, so he could only keep silent for a while.

Lin Xuan is different from Li Yan, he has always been loved and loved in his past and present lives, and he can't fully understand Li Yan's feelings without having experienced it himself, but this does not prevent him from understanding a child and longing for more love from his parents. Pay more attention to the mood, although this is exactly the opposite of what he thinks in his heart.

Li Yan was just a little lost for a while, and then he recovered. He is used to the fact that the focus of his parents' attention is not on himself. Although he is envious and longing, he has learned to use other ways to divert his attention. , Never allow yourself to immerse yourself in jealousy and loss.

Seeing that Lin Xuan became silent because of what he said, Li Yan who came back to his senses couldn't help but teased and said: "Cousin, don't envy your cousin too much, you can't earn such an innate advantage , the Lin family only has you as an only seedling, how could you allow you to be as free as I am?"

Lin Xuan looked at Li Yan speechlessly. Although he knew that he had good intentions and wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere, why did these words sound so hateful.

However, what Li Yan said is not wrong. Sometimes when you get something, you will lose something. You can't have both.For example, he himself, as the only son of the Lin family, is destined not to be as free as Li Yan. He has to bear the burden of family continuity.

Sometimes people are in different positions, and they desire different things, just like he and Li Yan, both want to get what the other has, but if they really change positions from the beginning, Maybe what they want will change again.

Maybe this is the human heart, who will never be satisfied. He can only see what others have, but he doesn't know how to cherish what he has now.

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea lightly, looking at the clear water of the lake, feeling inexplicably sighed in his heart.

"Cousin, cousin, what are you thinking, why don't you speak?" Seeing Lin Xuan staring blankly at the lake, not knowing what he was thinking, but completely ignoring his own words, Li Yan frowned and stretched out his words. He shook his hand vigorously in front of Lin Xuan, not wanting him to continue to be in a daze.

Li Yan's hand was dangling in front of his eyes, and Lin Xuan was immediately shaken back to his senses. He looked at the little hand in front of him speechlessly, and beat it down with a snap.

"Si, Lin Xuan, you are too cruel. I am also your cousin after all. How could you treat me like this? It's too much." Li Yan held his hurt hand, wanting to cry without tears 's complaint said.

"The Lin family is also a family of scholars. Why don't you know how to respect teachers and morals at all? I'm your cousin, and my parents and children are orderly. I don't ask you to learn from Kong Rong and give pears, but you have to respect me anyway." "Li Yan's face was serious, and he taught a serious lesson, as if Lin Xuan had really done something wrong.

"Come on, Li Yan, I don't know you yet. It's good to have an orderly seniority, but it also depends on your appearance. You don't stand upright, and you still want me to respect you. To be honest, it really doesn't matter." People can do it." Lin Xuan looked at Li Yan sincerely, expressing his helplessness to him.

"Lin Xuan, can you not be so sharp in your words? This is me. If it were someone else, I would have to turn against you." Li Yan looked at Lin Xuan's sincere expression, and suddenly he was speechless. After a while, he Cai replied earnestly: "Cousin, you can't go on like this, you will offend others."

Lin Xuan blinked, and looked at Li Yan's innocent face when he said this for your own good: "Cousin, I know you said this for my own good, don't worry, I know what to do." How do you do it?" After a pause, he continued: "I would never treat normal people like this, and only those who I think I really can't stand will be so straightforward and merciless. of"

The corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched a little. Is Lin Xuan saying in disguise that he is not a normal person?

"Okay, cousin, stop making trouble, tell me honestly what's going on this time." Lin Xuan straightened his face and asked.

"Why, do I have to have something to come when I come to you? Could it be that I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Li Yan said dissatisfied.

"Of course not at other times, but your family is so busy now. You came to me instead of helping at home. Don't tell me, you really only came to talk to me." Lin Xuan looked at Li With a strict look, he said disdainfully.

"Okay, I've let you see. I'm here to tell you that I'm afraid we won't see you for a long time." Li Yan shrugged and said helplessly.

Lin Xuan was stunned, not understanding what Li Yan meant by this, he quickly asked: "What's the matter, is uncle going to be promoted?"

"No, it has nothing to do with this matter." Li Yan shook his head, denying Lin Xuan's guess.

"Cousin, I don't know if you have heard of Qingshan Academy"

"Qingshan Academy, cousin, is uncle going to send you to study in Qingshan Academy?" Lin Xuan wondered, did Li Yan say that they would not see each other for a long time.

Qingshan Academy is a famous academy in the Jin Dynasty. It has a long history. It was originally built by Li Yu, the prime minister of the former dynasty. No matter how powerful you are, no amount of money can get in.It can be said that no matter what their status is, the students in Qingshan Academy have real talents and real learning.

After the change of dynasty, the academy did not abolish it. Instead, it was used by the Jin Dynasty with a little modification, and most of the rules were preserved intact. Many talents have formed a huge network of relationships with each other, which should not be underestimated.

"That's right, my father hoped that I could be admitted to Qingshan Academy. You also know my family's situation. It used to be a scholarly family, but my father didn't like reading, so he went to learn martial arts. He loves martial arts and dislikes literature." Li Yan sighed, the reason why his father prefers his elder brother is not without this reason.

He stopped to take a sip of water, took a breath, and then Li Yan continued: "Every time Grandpa hears that other people's children have been admitted to Juren and Jinshi, he will take father to give him a good lesson. I’m afraid of grandpa, so I can only push me out as a shield.”

"Cousin, I know your knowledge. Even your father likes it. It should be no problem to enter Qingshan Academy. If you can enter Qingshan Academy, it will be of great benefit to your future. Now you Why are you still frowning?" Lin Xuan frowned, looked at Li Yan and asked in puzzlement.

"I know what you said, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable. Forget it, let's not talk about this, I'm leaving soon. While we can still get together, why don't you and I have a drink?" Li Yan's eyes Looking at Lin Xuan brightly, he is the one who likes to drink the most. It can even be said that he is happy without alcohol, but his father doesn't care about him, but he is very strict in this respect. He is never allowed to drink. Every time he is found It was always a slap in the face, without mercy, so Li Yan had to find ways to avoid his father every time, and drink secretly.

"You're crazy. If you drag me here to drink, it will reach your father's ears within a day, and you will be dead by then." Speaking of drinking, Lin Xuan was also a little moved, but he did. Self-knowledge, I know that I can't drink alcohol in my current situation, so even though my heart flutters, I still control it.

"Don't worry, my father won't punish me even if he finds out this time. He still expects me to be admitted to Qingshan Academy so that he can be liberated from his grandfather." Li Yan said confidently, if there was no With this matter in mind, how could he just ask Lin Xuan for a drink so openly.

"Don't even think about it, Li Yan, I won't give it to you. I can't drink now. If I watch you drink, I will be so depressed." Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and flatly refused, such a stupid thing He won't do it.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Lin Xuan to refuse so happily, he smiled wryly, knowing that there was little hope of getting wine from Lin Xuan, but he still started trying to persuade Lin Xuan without giving up.

"Cousin, you are so old, I'm afraid you haven't had a drink yet." Li Yan rolled his eyes, knowing that if Lin Xuan's curiosity about wine was not aroused, he would not let himself drink it. He said with a reminiscing face: "This wine is a good thing. As the saying goes, getting drunk can relieve your worries, as long as you drink a glass of wine, you can forget all the unhappy things."

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, looked at Li Yan with disdain, and said lightly: "Li Yan, are you bullying me again that I haven't read many books? Then you are wrong."

"It's true that a thousand sorrows can be relieved when drunk, but haven't you heard another poem, the sorrow is even more sorrowful when drunk"

"This wine has been an indispensable companion for literati since ancient times. Have you heard of Li Baidou's Hundred Poems on Wine? Cousin, even if you and I are scholars who can't learn from Mr. Qinglian, we have to try it anyway. It can inspire us. something?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Lin Xuan to learn this poem so quickly. It seems that it is not easy to fool this little guy. However, Li Yan smiled inwardly. Be prepared.
