There is a river outside the Lane of Dengyingfang. When Yan Gao, the prefect of the Jin Dynasty, built the city, he went from Yingxian Pavilion to Tongaoqiaopu, and from east to west, leading the tide to the city.

The Shaoyuan in Linfu introduced live water from Tongjin Canal. The gardens in Jiangnan are surrounded by mountains and rivers, pavilions and towers, and mostly directed rivers and streams for their own use. This Shaoyuan is no exception.

When the Lin family built a garden, water was diverted to store a small pool in the garden. On the east side of the small pool, several rockery stones were stacked together to form three islands, and a square inch was used to describe the world, which was comparable to Penglai, Fang Zhou, and Yingzhou.

On the left side of the pond, you can hear the sound of running water, ding ding dong dong, like a ring of wearing a ring.

The bamboo and wood around the pond are covered with low bamboos and wood. It is midsummer, but the heat is just right. The pavilion is surrounded by bamboo forests in the pool, and it does not require an ice bucket to reduce the heat. It is also very cool. It happened that classmates gathered together to express their farewell.

Ye Xianggao and Weng Zhengchun went to Jiangxi for a visit, planning for the grand exam of the year after tomorrow, and not in Fujian.

Most of the other Wenlin Club members and Lin Yanchao's close friends came, such as Huang Biyou, Chen Xinggui, Chen Ruoyu, Zhang Haoyuan, Yu Qingzhou, Xu Huobo and others went to the garden first. There were Chen Cai, Chen Yinglong, Gong Zinan, Zhou Pingzhi and others in the pavilion to talk to Lin Yanchao.

Most of them were Lin Yanchao's classmates when he was at Lianjiang Academy. Lin Yanchao, Chen Cai and Chen Yinglong sat together and talked about their farewell.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said to Chen Yinglong: "So, Brother Dejian was the village clerk two years ago and was in the same subject as Brother Jinqing."

Chen Yinglong nodded. He passed the imperial examination with Ye Xianggao in the seventh year of Wanli: "It was a lucky thing to be ordered by his mentor two years ago. After my mother passed the examination, she was seriously ill and served medicine at home. Therefore, she did not go to Beijing with Brother Jinqing last year, and she did not see Zong Hai's three-year mark."

Chen Yinglong was a classmate of Lin Yanchao Academy in the same year as the Lin Yanchao Academy and Houguan County School.

Chen Cai quipped and said, "It's strange to say that everyone said that Brother Dejian had a horrible disease before the exam, but he had never encountered it during the provincial examination."

Chen Yinglong smiled and said, "I still have to thank Zong Hai for this. If it weren't for his examination in our college, I would have failed the exam long ago. Since that time, I have never been shocked before the exam. I said I can do it today, thanks to Brother Zong Hai."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Di sees that brother is a great talent. How can a mere little fish stump you? Two years later, I will wait for you and your god brother in Beijing. By the way, there will be a new master and you will be able to win the life. It will be very lively."

The four backbone members of Wenlin Society, Ye Xianggao, Weng Zhengchun, Chen Yinglong, and Chen Cai, all passed the imperial examination one after another, and are now preparing for the spring examination two years later.

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Chen Cai and Chen Yinglong both nodded. Chen Cai said with a tense face and said, "Today, we need to fight. We have seen this after ten years of hard work."

Chen Yinglong and Lin Yanchao said, "I thought of the time when Zong Hai and I and Jinqing made an appointment together to see who will write the Golden List first, beat the Horse Imperial Street, and the Golden Palace will pass the list. Zong Hai will whip it first. Now I and Brother Jinqing are the only ones to try the best."

Lin Yanchao remembered what happened back then, and couldn't help but sigh and said to Chen Yinglong: "I'm just taking advantage of it first. I have a brother Jinqing and I, who are friends with Liu Kun's ancestors. Yanchao hopes that the two brothers will get married as soon as possible and work together for the country and the country in the future, and do their best."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Chen Yinglong showed a touch of emotion, held Lin Yanchao's hand and nodded: "Zonghai, I really have the ambition of a real man, but I hope that I can really be in the same court."

At this time, Gong Zinan on the side said dissatisfiedly: "Zonghai, when I made an appointment with you, I and Brother Zhou, why do you only care about remembering Dejian? Jinqing, and forget us both."

After hearing what Gong Zinan said, everyone present smiled.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I am not awesome in class, young people, how could I forget you?"

This poem by Du Fu was changed by Lin Yanchao, but it had a different meaning.

Gong Zinan smiled and said, "What a good classmate is not inferior, so I appreciate it once."

Zhou Pingzhi was reluctantly smiling and didn't say anything. After a flash of inspiration in the hospital exam, he became depressed all the way in his career, and even was not very outstanding in the county school. Not to mention that he wanted to get a huge difference with Lin Yanchao and Chen Yinglong, even Gong Zinan.

Although Lin Yanchao said that the young men of the same age were not inferior, how could he take this seriously?

Several people talked and laughed at each other. Huang Biyou, Chen Xinggui and others came back from the garden and were in high spirits.

Then Chen Xinggui sat down and quarreled with Huang Biyou.

Among Lin Yanchao's classmates, Huang Biyou is also an aggression that attracts hatred. He often ridicule others with a sarcasm and is often besieged by classmates. However, Huang Biyou has one advantage. No matter what the classmates say, at most he was angry for a while, and he just slept for a while, and he laughed with you again. He is a very easy person to meet.

At this time, everyone talked about the embarrassing story of Huang Biyou ridiculed Feng Wu, and said that the phoenix was floating on the sycamore tree and the chicken played under the banana tree. Everyone laughed loudly again.

Huang Biyou looked embarrassed and shook his head and said, "Don't make fun of it! Don't make fun of it!"

So everyone laughed even happier.

Among these classmates and old friends, there are many of them who are not as good as Zhou Pingzhi. Except for Chen Xinggui and Chen Ruoyu who enter school and become a student, everyone is still a child student, Huang Biyou and Zhang Haoyuan are all playmates when Lin Yanchao was young, and they have a long relationship with each other than Ye Xiang and Chen Yinglong. However, seeing that the two of them are suffering from their careers and cannot make progress, they have no choice.

However, his disciple Xu Huobo entered school at a young age, which made Lin Yanchao very pleased.

Everyone gathered in the pavilion and joked. Lin Yanchao looked at Chen Xinggui and said, "How are you lately?"

Before Chen Xinggui spoke, Huang Biyou said beside him: "Zonghai, you don't know that this person has learned bad things and enjoys the blessing of the people of Qi."

"Oh?" Lin Yanchao said with a smile, "How can you be a blessing for everyone?"

Chen Xinggui glanced at Huang Biyou, then smiled and said, "After I married my wife in my hometown in Qingqiao three years ago, I bought a side house in the provincial capital last year."

Huang Biyou added: "It's not just a side room, but I heard that it's a good woman from a good family. You are two big, and even so, you are still unwilling to rest. You still go to the brothels and Chu Pavilion all day long."

Chen Xinggui sneered: "It seems like I'm going alone every time."

Huang Biyou laughed twice when he heard this.

Chen Xinggui said: "Zonghai, I have stopped studying after I entered school. Fame and fortune are just my stepping stone, and it is easier to act. You know that I have no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics at all. As for women, they are just acting on occasions. As for these two marriages, they are not just a casual one. They help my Chen family's business. Fortunately, both wives and concubines are very virtuous and have no disputes."

Huang Biyou said, "That's your fate. If your main wife is half as powerful as Qianqian, you will be broken if you dare to marry a concubine."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but look down, saying this. (To be continued.)8
