A few days after he and Cheng Yan went to visit the Zhen Guo General's Mansion, Lin Mo found that something was wrong with his second brother, especially on the day when the test results came out.
Every day except for eating and sleeping, he just stayed in the study. Lin Mo was worried that his second brother would be a little disturbed by the events of his previous life.
Lin Mo walked to the door of the study, let the boy following behind him stay outside, opened the door and walked in.
It is rare that the second brother is actually holding a book in his hands.
"Second brother." Lin Mo walked over and said out loud.
"Amo? Why are you here?" Lin Xiu came back to his senses and looked up at his younger brother who was walking over.
"Second brother has been a little bit wrong recently, is he worried about the palace examination in a month's time?" Lin Mo sat down beside him and asked.
"...It does have something to do with this, these second brothers will take care of it, don't worry, Amo." Lin Xiu paused for a few seconds, then said.
"The results of the test..." Lin Mo hesitated.
The day before yesterday, he knew that his second brother's test results were in second place in the overall ranking. The first is Yu Yange, the eldest son of the Yu family, the young scholar who went with them when they went to Beijing for the exam last time.
Lin Mo had heard about Yu Yange, and Cheng Yan had mentioned it to him. It is said that this year's imperial examination title is most likely to fall on his head.
"Yu Yange is full of knowledge and knowledge. Compared with him, I am indeed a bit inferior." Lin Xiu smiled.
"Second brother is not much different from him." Lin Mo retorted.
Although I don't know how the second brother won the first prize in the previous life, but it can also show the talent of the second brother.
However, Lin Mo suddenly thought of a series of things they encountered when they rushed to the capital. Several groups of men in black were ambushed and assassinated, and the second brother was implicated by that group of people.
There was no Cheng Yan in the previous life, and the second brother did not encounter any accidents on the way to Beijing for the exam.
How did Yu Yange in his previous life escape? Or maybe he couldn't escape
"Cheng Yan and brother Huang are here for the prime minister's affairs, even if the second brother is not as good as before..."
"Amo! Be careful..." Lin Xiu interrupted his brother suddenly and whispered.
Lin Mo looked at his second brother in a daze, and when he saw his dark eyes looking somewhere, Lin Mo suddenly remembered that there was a shadow guard beside him.
For a moment, Lin Mo was covered in cold sweat. If the second brother couldn't stop it in time, he could easily imagine Cheng Yan's reaction after hearing the news.
"Yes... I'm sorry second brother, I forgot." Lin Mo still had some fear in his eyes.
The shadow guards around Lin Mo seldom show up, and they hide very well. Most of the time, Lin Mo ignores the people around him in the dark.
Lin Mo had some doubts. Did Cheng Yan know what he and his second brother had said before? He didn't know when Cheng Yan arranged the shadow guard by his side, if he had arranged it before he discussed those things with his second brother...
Lin Mo tried his best to calm himself down. Cheng Yan didn't ask him, and there was nothing wrong, so he didn't know about it.
"Now these are different from what the eldest brother said. You also know that there are them and the second brother is there. Amo, you just need to be good now, and everything is with us." Lin Xiu comforted.
"But..." Lin Mo hesitated to speak.
Perhaps it was because of the scene in the dream that he had to pay attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion and matters related to Su Qingran.
As long as Su Qingran does not die and the prime minister does not subdue the law, Lin Mo will not be at ease.
Lin Mo has no memories of his elder brother's previous life, but only heard his elder brother's description of his previous life, as well as fragments of his dreams.
He couldn't leave all these matters to them. He didn't know if Su Qingran would still have the ability to save the day.
Zero One has already taken away the Marysu halo from her body, but Lin Mo is not sure if Su Qingran will have other halos on her body.
"Even if the second brother doesn't get the first prize, our family is different from the past, and Amo, your current status in Yu Country, no matter how bad the situation is, it won't be much worse."
Lin Mo listened to his second brother's enlightenment, and was silent for a while, before speaking, "I see."
"After the palace examination, you and Cheng Yan will have a grand wedding ceremony. After that, you will be a member of the royal family. Be careful with your words and deeds, and don't let people catch you..." Lin Xiu rarely reminded his younger brother.
But when he thought about Lin Mo's temperament and Cheng Yan's attitude towards him, Lin Xiu didn't continue talking.
Be cautious in your words and deeds... For my younger brother, it must be impossible and unnecessary.
"Cheng Yan is so pampering to you, I think... Ah Mo shouldn't have to suppress his temper. Let's just follow the past and do whatever we want." Lin Xiu thought for a while, and finally said.
Lin Mo came out of the second brother's yard, walked back to the main hall along the bluestone road, sat in the yard and stared at somewhere lost in thought.
Cheng Yan, who came back from the barracks, just walked in when he saw Lin Mo sitting not far away. Alone, the air of loneliness seemed to surround him and couldn't go away.
Cheng Yan was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked towards him without stopping.
"I'm back." Hearing the familiar footsteps, Lin Mo looked back and smiled slightly.
"En." Cheng Yan walked over and sat beside him, wrapping him in his arms, and replied in a low voice.
You should put him by your side and watch him all the time, and put all your attention on yourself.
In that way, there will be no extra thoughts to think about what you have and what you don't have, which will only increase your troubles.
Cheng Yan wrapped his hand around, and the cool little hand in his hand slowly took on his temperature.
Lin Mo was no longer surprised by Cheng Yan's behavior of sticking to him all the time, and leaned his head on his shoulder.
"Why did you come back so early today? You didn't change your clothes." She smelled of sweat. Lin Mo said, although there was some slight disgust in his tone, he still nestled in his arms and did not move.
Ever since he went to visit his grandfather, General Zhen Guo, and his cousin Fu Yunchang, Cheng Yan was called by his cousin to the military camp to train the generals and soldiers. As the marshal of the army, he should have gone to show his face after being missing for so long.
Of course, a group of generals who had just escorted General Zhen Guo back from the border showed up.
This time Fu Yun would not be able to stay for long when he came back. Although the countries were safe and sound, there still had to be someone guarding the border. Fu Yunchang is currently planning to leave the imperial city after the wedding between Cheng Yan and his husband is over.
In the past, his father was there at the border, and then his cousin Cheng Yan, and now he should be there too. You can't let the newlyweds separate after a few days of getting along, right
As for his father asking him to find a wife as soon as possible, the cold and taciturn Fu Yunchang pretended not to hear.
"I don't have anything to do in the army. Come back early to accompany you. Want to go out for a stroll?"
"Where are you going? Haven't you traveled all over the imperial city?" Lin Mo looked up at him and asked.
In the past, Cheng Yan had to be busy with some things, and he didn't have time to accompany him for a few days in a row. After finishing his work, he always felt that he had neglected himself. So guilt filled his heart for taking Lin Mo out of the house to play, and he still played outside with him all day for several days in a row.
As a result, when Lin Mo went to the palace to find An Jinyuan, he was afraid to face His Majesty the Emperor. He always felt that he was a little fairy who let the Lord of War, who holds military power, neglect government affairs.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt embarrassed.
"Then go to the Lin family's ancestral house and have a look. It has basically been repaired. Go and see what is still missing, and add it together. When parents come over, they can live in directly." Cheng Yan suggested.
"Already ready?" Lin Mo asked in surprise. It hasn't been long since Cheng Yan and him mentioned the need to repair the velvet again, the speed is too fast, isn't it
"Many people participated." Cheng Yan didn't say much.
"It's better not to go, wait for parents to come and go there together." Lin Mo rarely refused, Cheng Yan said that there is basically no big problem, Lin Mo still believed him.
As for the ancestral home of the Lin family, it's better for father and elder brother to get it. That's where they'll live in the future, or it's better for them to arrange it themselves.
"Then let's go to the manor? I heard from the butler a while ago that the cherries are already red, and the peach trees are also covered with green peaches. Didn't you mention that you want to pick some green peaches to pickle?"
"Cherries?" And these, Lin Mo became more interested. What fruit trees and flowers are there that he doesn't know
"A few years ago, when other countries made good friends with Yu country, there were these strange seeds in the gifts. Later, when A Yuan found out, he pestered me and the emperor to plant them in the manor." Cheng Yan explained.
"The fruit forest in Daling Village..."
"Mulin County is at the junction of several countries, and it is also near the sea. It is also the earliest to encounter new things."
"Is that so?" Lin Mo said thoughtfully.
"Going to play in the manor in the afternoon? Also call the second brother, I think he doesn't seem to be in a good state recently." Cheng Yan asked, although he has been a little busy these days, he still heard Lin Mo mention it a few times.
Coincidentally, not long ago, A Yuan pretended to be nonchalant and mentioned Lin Xiu several times in front of him and the emperor. Thinking about the things discussed by the people in the imperial city in recent days, Cheng Yan thought that he might have guessed something.
"Then let's go to the manor. I just want to make some cherry sauce for their children. Xiaoya should like it." Lin Mo had a smile in his eyes.
"Hmm..." Cheng Yan responded, swallowing what he wanted to say.
The Lin family will arrive in half a month, which is half a month earlier than he expected. It's better to hide it from Momo and give him a surprise then.
Cheng Yan stroked Lin Mo's hair, the corners of his lips slightly raised. He can now predict that when Momo sees their expressions, the expressions must be vivid enough to fascinate him.
Although the current Momo has already made him addicted to it, Cheng Yan still wants to dig out more of Momo's emotions, preferably the good side.
After driving for more than half a month, a team of elite soldiers in Cheng Yan's hands naturally didn't feel anything. But it's different for ordinary people, not to mention there are several children and two women in the team.
The people inside are extremely important to the prince, otherwise they would not have sent a team of soldiers to guard the imperial city.
The leading general was a little worried that they would not be able to take it, but seeing that they had traveled for half a month, their faces were still so rosy.
The leading general is a little strange, their husband's natal family seems to be in good health. Could it be, isn't it true that a family does not enter a house
Arriving at the next county seat, the group rested for two days before continuing on their way. The general led the soldiers to take the Lin family to the official residence of the county, and took out a token to signal that a residence should be arranged as soon as possible.
It was not only their elite soldiers who protected the Lin family going to the imperial city, but also dozens of shadow guards in the dark. Of course, there are not many people who know this, and the leading general is one of them.
He thought to himself, the prince really took great pains in order to let the Lin family not have to worry about other things on the way and be protected from being hurt.
After settling down, Mother Lin boiled a few slices of ginseng in water, and let everyone drink a bowl after cooking.
This ginseng was given to Mother Lin by Mo Ge'er before he left. He said that he would take a few slices of ginseng and boil water to drink when he was injured or sick. They are now so energetic because of this.
Although she didn't know why the jar of ginseng that Mo Ge'er gave her was so effective, Mother Lin still didn't get to the bottom of it, it's good to be a little confused about some things.
"Grandma, when can we go to Fourth Uncle's place?" Xiaoya took a few sips from the bowl and asked.
"Soon, I will definitely catch up with your fourth uncle and Uncle Cheng's happy event." Mother Lin patted her granddaughter's head and smiled.
The matter of Cheng Yan and their four sons was clearly stated in the letter they sent, which is also the reason why Mother Lin shortened the time to go to the imperial city in order to hurry.
Although their son was married to Cheng Yan, but this time it was Cheng Yan as Cheng Wang and his son as Cheng Wang's husband, Lin's mother still wanted to arrive early.
She knew her son would feel uneasy without his family around.
And this time they attended their son's wedding banquet as the Lin family in the imperial city, they had to be the son's confidence.
Although this background is not as good as that of the royal family, Mother Lin doesn't want her son to feel that the gap between him and Cheng Yan is too great.
"How is it? You don't feel any discomfort, do you?" Mother Lin observed each of them carefully, seeing that their expressions were normal, she was still a little worried.
Although she was in a hurry to go to the imperial city, Mother Lin still did not ignore her family's physical condition. Once someone feels unwell, Mother Lin will still slow down her journey.
"It's okay. This ginseng is a good thing. After drinking it, I feel refreshed." Mrs. Lin finished drinking the ginseng water and said with emotion.
"Mo Ge'er forced it to me before he left, and it must have cost a lot of money." Mother Lin nodded.
"Then my brother and I went to play with the uncle in black." Seeing that they had all drunk water, Xiaoya said, holding the handle of the teapot with her two small hands.
"Go, be careful not to fall, and carry it with your brother." Lin Cheng urged.
The black-clothed uncle Lin Xiaoya was talking about was someone who protected them in the dark, and they encountered an ambush on the way. At that time everyone was forced to disperse, although the time was short, but it was very dangerous for the situation at that time.
Xiaoya and Xiaonan were brought back by them, so it can be said that it was a false alarm.
Lin Cheng didn't know the existence of those people before. If it wasn't for that accident, his family would not know that they were protected by such powerful people.
I don't know that there will be someone ambush on the way to kill them.
Lin Cheng thought to himself, maybe when Cheng Yan, Lin Mo and his second brother went to Beijing to rush for the exam, they also encountered those dangerous men in black.
Hopefully they didn't get hurt then.
