Chapter 78 - The Knockout

Lin Jingyuan finished school and went to Ding class to find Zhou Datong. In the Guozijian, students are divided into classes based on their grades. Lin Jingyuan had just started his studies and was placed in Class B, while Zhou Datong has been in Class D for five years and hasn't switched classes.

Everyone in the class has left, only Zhou Datong is leaning on the desk, having a deep and friendly conversation with Zhou Gong.

"Wake up, brother Datong, school is over." Lin Jingyuan pats Zhou Datong's shoulder.

周大同吧唧着嘴,一溜口水顺着嘴角淌下来:“等我吃完这只烧鸡……”

林景元无语,做梦都在吃,难怪大同哥这么胖。

林景元凑近周大同耳朵大声喊:“有人抢鸡腿啦……”

周大同一个激灵,直起身东张西望,小眼睛瞪的滚圆,愤怒道:“谁……谁抢小爷的鸡腿,给我交出来……”

一刻钟后,两人出了国子监在街上晃荡。

“景元,我请你去天香楼吃饭怎么样?”

“昨天不是刚吃过吗?”

“昨天是鸿福轩,今天天香楼,不一样的,我跟你说,天香楼的烧乳猪特别好吃。”

Lin Jingyuan hesitated but resisted the temptation of delicious food: "No, I have my sister waiting for me at home for dinner. You should go and eat with Lord Lu Xiaowang!"

Zhou Datong muttered, "I dare not go and find him."

那天撞见不该撞见的事情后,他躲陆昭南和萧潜都来不及。

“你怕啥?我姐说等她忙完同源楼开张,要请你们三个吃饭,不过我看我姐要忙的事情挺多。”昨儿个他回家已经迟了,结果姐还不在家,檀云说姐吃过晚饭又出去了,大半夜才回来,还骑了一匹马……不知道姐在做什么。

“你姐请客我肯定去。”周大同嘿嘿道。

林景元失笑:“大同哥,你也早点回家吧,这阵子京城不太平,昨儿个还传出灭门惨案,听说那户人家一家七口全被……”林景元做了个割喉的手势。

"I also heard about it. The killer didn't spare even the two old sows in that household." Zhou Datong expressed his indignation.

"That's why it's better to stay safely at home."

Zhou Dazong opened his bewildered small eyes: "Wasn't that household killed at home? It seems that staying at home is not safe."

Lin Jingyuan: ... Dazong ge always has such unique points of concern.

Suddenly, Zhou Datong pulled Lin Jingyuan to the side of the road, with his back against the wall: "Don't turn around."

"What's wrong?" Lin Jingyuan was puzzled and wanted to turn his head to see who had scared Big Brother Datong like this.

"Don't look." Zhou Datong grew anxious.

Lin Jingyuan resisted the urge to turn around: "Who did you see?"

"Do you know Zhen Rian?"

"I don't know him? Who is Zhen Rian?"

Zhou Datong suddenly felt like he had made a contribution by helping Yan Yan keep her secret. Just now, Lin Yannan in disguise as a man rode past from the intersection ahead.

"Oh, I just made that up," said Zhou Datong.

林景元:……这天没法聊了。

等他们回头,啥情况没有,林景元郁郁道:“我回家了。”

周大同一个人无聊透顶,又没地方去,只好晃荡着回家去,刚到成国公府,下人迎了上来:“公子您可算回来了。”

Zhou Datong became cautious when he saw people waiting for him outside the mansion; he knew that there must be something bad awaiting him at home.

"What is it?"

"Sir, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Zhu Gongzi's actions? Well, Zhu Gongzi left the mansion today and is now drinking and listening to music on the Ruyi Painting Boat."

周大同小眼睛里噌的冒出精光:“他们几个人?”

“目前就朱公子一人,小森还在那盯着。”

“快,多叫几个人,带上木棍,麻袋……”周大同撸起袖子,这么多天了,终于找到机会揍那小子一顿。

Lin Yannan and Lin Jingyuan sat face to face while having dinner. Lin Yannan could tell that Jingyuan had something on his mind.

"If you want to say something, just say it. Why keep me in suspense?"

Lin Jingyuan asked, "Sis, where did you go last night?"

"I've got some busy affairs to attend to!" Lin Yannan replied ambiguously.

"Sis, don't find me nagging, there's been unrest in the capital city lately. Just yesterday, there was a horrifying murder case. It's not safe for a woman like you to go out alone at night without anyone by your side."

"I didn't want to say this originally, but since you asked, telling you won't hurt. I have become an apprentice to learn medicine."

"Apprentice? Who?"

"That old man is quite stubborn. He still refuses to acknowledge me as his disciple, but he shouldn't be able to hold out much longer."

“这么拽?难不成是太医院的太医?”林景元好奇不已。

“等事成我再告诉你,药膳是一门很深奥的学问,我现在脑子里这点存货不够用,肯定得想办法多学点医术。”

“这倒也是,姐,我跟你说个有趣的事儿,今儿个我个大同哥走在街上,大同哥突然拉着我躲起来,我问他见着谁了吓成这样,他随口编了个名字叫什么……甄日安,问我认不认识。”

林晏晏被米饭呛到,剧烈的咳嗽起来。

“姐,莫非你也认识甄日安?”林景元心生怀疑。

林晏晏喝了口锦心递来的茶,总算气顺了,能说话了:“我呛到是因为我没想到周大同这家伙随口能编出这么个搞笑的名字,还日安,他怎么不说早安晚安月安什么的。”

Lin Jingyuan laughed heartily, "I didn't find it funny at first, but after hearing you say it, it is indeed funny!"

"Do you know who he is hiding from?"

"Dadong Ge is most afraid of Prince Lu Xiaowang and the Tenth Prince right now. I guess he must have seen both of them or at least one of them." Lin Jingyuan analyzed.

林晏晏点头:“很有可能。”

“我就觉得大同哥没必要怕成这样吧,陆小王爷和十殿下就算喜好与常人有异,怎么也不可能看上他不是?要说危险也是我比他更危险不是?”

Lin Yannan coughed again, this time choked by her own saliva.

Her little brother sometimes had quite unique ideas.

It was night when Zhu Ziyu, satisfied and drunk, got off the Ruyi Painting Boat and boarded their own carriage.

This month has almost driven him crazy. He dares not go out, but now he can finally free himself from the quagmire of the Lin family. Tomorrow, he will go to the academy and study hard, preparing for this year's Autumn Examination.

所以,今晚是他进书院之前最后的放纵。

时辰已晚,马车行驶在无人的街道,突然黑暗中蹿出几个蒙面人,朝车夫脸上撒了把石灰,石灰迷进车夫的眼睛,车夫顿时捂脸惨叫,被人揪下车,后脑勺挨了一棍,当场晕了过去。

在车厢里半醉半醒的朱子玉还没搞清状况,也被人拽下马车套上麻袋,乱棍如雨点般砸在他身上。
