Chapter 21 Xiao Suo

Aunt Xia's words seemed to be complimentary, but in fact they were suspicious. Lin Nan just smiled and went up to see the uncle Zhou and the other two, and then pulled Lin Nan to greet the elder brother Lin Qi.

Lin Qi sat on the chair, looked Lin Nan up and down with gentle eyes for a long time, and said slowly: "I haven't seen each other for a few years. Brother Nan has almost grown up. If he was not at home, he wouldn't dare to admit it even if he met him in the first place."

"Haha, brother is joking. I feel that there has been no major changes in the past four years. It is just a little whiter and taller than before..."

"Well... there is another point," Lin Qi looked at Lin Nan's head and smiled and said, "The habit of bouncing hair has not changed." As soon as Lin Qi said this, both of them couldn't help but think of the situation that day, looked at each other, and laughed together. Zhou, who was next to him, saw that his son was rarely happy, felt a little relieved. After looking at his nephew, he suddenly had some new ideas. The young man in front of him had already acted like an adult, and he wouldn't talk about his words and deeds for the time being, but his thoughts on doing things were much more delicate than other children.

Zhou looked at Lin Nan with a somewhat playful look. Lin Nan told Lin De and the other two secrets in front of the old lady. Although Lin De was annoyed, Lin Fu and Lin Shou also looked angry. Even Aunt Xia was a little resentful. But in Zhou's opinion, although Lin Nan's move was unexpected, he could not say anything wrong. If he looked at it in the long run, this action would undoubtedly be beneficial to Lin Fu and Lin Shou. The word "gambling" is not a good thing. If Lin Nan did not expose it this time and allowed it to develop, the result would be unimaginable...

As the mistress, Zhou was naturally different from Aunt Xia’s considerations. However, Zhou was Lin Qi’s biological mother at the same time. Seeing that Lin Nan and Lin Qi had a deep brotherhood, Zhou couldn’t help but feel it without saying anything. Although Lin Fu and Lin Shou were also her children in name, they were not their own flesh and blood after all, and there was still some distance between them.

On the other hand, although Lin Qi is the eldest son of his own, both have good character and poor health. Everyone keeps compliments on weekdays, but you can imagine what you say behind your back. Over the years, Zhou's heart disease has not been cured, especially an imperial physician once asserted that Lin Qi will not live to be twenty years old. As the days are getting closer, Zhou's emotions are becoming more and more depressing... At this time, when he saw this new nephew getting close to his biological son from the bottom of his heart, how could Zhou be unhappy?

Zhou was thinking about his thoughts, and Lin Qi had already looked at Lin Zhi here. Lin Zhi was two years younger than Lin Nan, but his body shape and skeleton were not much worse. He was born with a treacherous head and a treacherous head. Although he was not as handsome as Lin Nan, he could tell that he was a correct child from his eyebrows.

"You are brother Zhi?" Lin Qi asked, and Lin Zhi hurriedly bowed again. Lin Qi smiled and said, "Okay, we brothers don't need so much etiquette. When I met your brother four years ago, he was still young at that time. I guess you were only a few years old at that time. I don't know when I will see you this time. Haha, now, including the few from the third uncle's family, I have seen all the younger generations of the Lin family, and finally I have not lost my regrets..."

Although Lin Qi said that it was a commonplace, the meaning in his words was a bit desolate. After hearing what he said, Aunt Xia moved her mouth, but suddenly heard Zhou's sigh, so she endured it and didn't say anything. Lin Nan felt something was wrong when he heard this, so he quickly changed the conversation: "Brother has no regrets, I have it. Now I have only seen Brother Fu, Brother Shou, Brother San's family, but I haven't seen him before. Judging from what Brother's meaning, there are several of them in the Third Uncle's family?"

Lin Zhi leaned over and said, "Stop talking about the third uncle's family, we have never seen him before..."

"Haha!" Lin Qi smiled and said, "If you live here for a long time, you might be able to see Uncle San's family. There are several in the Uncle San's family."

The sun was so good outside. Seeing that Lin Qi was happy, Zhou didn't want to go into the house to talk, so he ordered Xue Lian and Shuang'er to move in and out a few chairs. The few people sat in the yard and chatted together.

Lin Qi was sunbathed for a while and his face was also covered in blood. He looked at Lin Nan and asked, "Brother Nan, this time... is there to take the exam?"

"Um."

"Yes, as a man, he cannot follow the literature, so he must follow the martial arts. He cannot be useless." Lin Qi looked at Lin Nan and Lin Zhi who were sitting next to him, and said warmly: "It's nothing to come to the capital, and it's nothing to go out for a few days. He's used to everything until he's used to it, and it's nothing special. In the future, he'll have to calm down and concentrate on studying."

"yes."

"If you have free time, you might as well come and talk to me. Brother, I am a little more crazy and I have read a lot of books. Haha, brother, maybe I can't help you with anything else, that is, reading and writing... It's a bit useful..." Lin Qi said this, and Lin Nan hurriedly thanked.

Several people were talking in the yard, but it was Lin Qi and Lin Nan who were talking. Zhou was satisfied when he saw his son when he saw him. However, Lin Qi was fine at first, but later, the beginning and end of the conversation were unconsciously a bit depressed and self-deprecating. In this way, not only did Lin Nan not know how to reply, but even Zhou was listening to him, he felt that it was not a good thing.

After looking at the sky outside, Zhou said, "The sun is about to pass. Qi'er, it's not too short to come out today. Get it clean and go back to the house." After hesitating for a moment, Zhou said, "If you feel good tomorrow, it's not too late to come out again."

Lin Qi turned his head to look at his mother and smiled happily: "Well, mother is talking about it, Xuelian, Shuang'er." The two maids hurriedly walked over, and Lin Nan said: "Let's go!" As he said that, Lin Zhi stepped forward, replaced the maid, one left and one right, and helped Lin Qi back to the house carefully. When Aunt Xia saw it, she flattened her mouth and turned her head aside.

After a few days, Lin Nan and Lin Zhi did not go out to wander around the streets. They only added some daily necessities and began to live in the mansion steadily. They reviewed calligraphy and practiced calligraphy every day, and watched by Yang Xuan, and officially began the preparation for the scientific examination. Although Yang Xuan was not the teacher of Lin Nan and Lin Zhi in name, he was still dedicated and responsible. Yang Xuan was quite familiar with the various rules of scientific examinations and asked him to teach them. If it were, in terms of exam-taking, it would be better for Lin Nan and the two to benefit from Shen Xiu, the master of Jing'anzhai.

Time flies, the sun and the moon pass by, and in a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. The autumn wind rises again, and the autumn coolness comes again, and tomorrow is the exam period. Yang Xuan, Lin Nan and Lin Zhi stand in the yard, looking at a few osmanthus trees, and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you sure?"

Lin Nan smiled: "I dare not say it, but... I will never lose my face..."

"Hahaha!" Yang Xuan smiled and said nothing.
