Chapter 451: Visiting the Sun Family
Chapter 451: Visiting the Sun Family
Lin Wenxuan thought about it and agreed. He was in a very bad mental state and was worried about falling on the road.
After finishing breakfast, Lin Wenxuan went back to change into some fresher clothes and tidied himself up before going out with Lin Dalang.
"Brother, thank you for your trouble. You have been worrying about my affairs."
Lin Dalang felt a little emotional. He and his grandfather were lost on the way to escape famine, and his family felt like the sky had fallen.
They had already made the worst-case scenario plans by asking around and looking for them along the way.
The refugees who were originally traveling with them had to move forward, and their family was worried that Grandpa and Lin Wenxuan would be left behind, so they just found a place to stay.
During that time, they went out to make money as soon as they opened their eyes. Both father and son did the hardest and most tiring work in the town, just to earn more money and find them.
Now I have found this youngest brother who is so promising. It is a blessing to worry about him. I don't have to be awakened by their cries for help in the middle of the night.
"There's no need to be polite between us brothers. We are all family and we are supposed to help each other." Lin Dalang's eyes were a little red.
"Brother, it's my fault that I didn't share the money from the tutoring books with my family this time. I will write good books in the future and make up for the money." Lin Wenxuan didn't dare to look at Lin Dalang.
"Wenxuan, although our family is not that wealthy, we still have enough money for food. You should study hard, and it won't be too late to write after you pass the imperial examination." Lin Dalang really thought so. His family's medicinal materials business was enough for him to pass the imperial examination.
Lin Dalang waited for a long time but didn't hear any response from Lin Wenxuan. He turned his head and looked at him. Lin Wenxuan was looking ahead with lifeless eyes.
Lin Dalang turned his head back and pretended not to notice.
"Wenxuan, your sister-in-law asked me to thank you. This time, the family has set a rule not to take concubines, and they feel much more at ease."
Lin Wenxuan knew that his brother was comforting him and he didn’t want to feel too guilty.
"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law. When I marry Qingya in the future, I will definitely remember the kindness of my family." Lin Wenxuan regretted more and more that he had misjudged people.
Lin Dalang was very pleased, "Okay, you take a nap, we still have a long journey, mother brought you a piece of clothing, cover yourself with it and sleep." Lin Dalang was driving the ox cart in front.
Lin Wenxuan thought that there was still a tough battle to fight when he arrived in Wu'an City, so he decided to follow Lin Dalang's arrangements and take a rest first.
The road was full of people heading to Wu'an City, and the sounds of chatting and herding cattle were intertwined.
These sounds actually made Lin Wenxuan fall into a deep sleep. He probably only slept for an hour last night.
After entering Wu'an City, Lin Dalang walked towards the Sun family following the direction he had inquired about.
When they were almost at Sun's house, Lin Wenxuan was woken up by Lin Dalang. He had slept so well that he was suddenly woken up and felt as if he had no idea what year it was.
Lin Wenxuan sat up, took the wet towel handed to him by Lin Dalang, and wiped his face.
Lin Wenxuan, who was sober, looked around. This place was unfamiliar and he had never been here before.
"Brother, are we almost at the Sun family?"
"We're almost there. That's the house in front with the red lanterns hanging." Lin Dalang pointed casually.
Lin Wenxuan got off the ox cart and said, "Brother, wait here for a while. I'll go ask Sun Shicheng what the Sun family means."
Lin Dalang was a little worried. "Wenxuan, I'd better go in with you. If you go in alone, you will be outnumbered and won't have the advantage in a fight."
Lin Wenxuan was very firm, "No, big brother, the Sun family is in Wu'an City, on our territory, and there are people from the government office around us, they dare not do anything."
Only then did Lin Dalang notice that there were several big men sitting around and chatting. Judging from their postures, he could tell that they were government officials.
"They are not wearing official uniforms. It should be Ye Dalang who asked someone to watch the Sun family. They are here. I will shout and you lead people to rush in." Lin Wenxuan felt that it was unnecessary, but still comforted Lin Dalang.
When Lin Dalang saw those people, he felt much more at ease. He asked his brother to go in quickly and return early.
Lin Wenxuan straightened his clothes, walked over and knocked on the Sun family’s door.
This is where the Sun family temporarily resides. It is just a courtyard with two entrances and is far less majestic than the Sun family in the capital city.
Lin Dalang watched a man who looked like a butler take Lin Wenxuan in. He walked forward, closer to the Sun family. If he heard any noise, he would rush in to save him.
Lin Wenxuan followed the housekeeper in and looked around the yard. The yard was not big and he did not see Sun Shicheng.
"Where is Sun Shicheng? I have something to discuss with him. Ask him to come out and see me."
The butler bowed and said, "Master Lin, our master is waiting for you in the study in the backyard."
Lin Wenxuan did not suspect anything and followed the butler into the backyard.
The housekeeper pointed to the left wing and said, "Master Lin, our master is inside. Please go in by yourself. I will not go in."
Lin Wenxuan took two steps forward and felt something was wrong.
"Where is your young master's servant? He has never left your young master." Every time Lin Wenxuan went to the Sun family, Sun Shicheng would personally greet him. Even if there was something going on, he would send the servant over.
"He went to Queran Tower. Our young master asked him to find out what to bring to the literary gathering."
Lin Wenxuan thought about it and it made sense. It was the Sun family’s housekeeper who brought him here personally, so there was no way he could have made any mistakes.
Lin Wenxuan pushed the door and entered the room. There was no bookshelf in the room, only a desk with a book on it.
He didn't see Sun Shicheng, so he shouted twice.
The sound of a book falling to the ground came from the inner room, and Lin Wenxuan walked into the inner room.
"Sun Shicheng, come out and explain to me..." Lin Wenxuan's unfinished words were choked in his throat.
"Why is it you?" Lin Wenxuan saw Sun Youyou bending down to pick up a book.
Lin Wenxuan looked around and didn't see Sun Shicheng, so he turned around and walked out.
"Brother Wenxuan, where are you going? Why are you leaving right after you got here?" Sun Youyou asked pitifully.
"Where is your brother? I'm looking for your brother." Lin Wenxuan stopped and asked with his back to her.
"My brother went to the bathroom and will be back soon." Sun Youyou walked over with a book.
Seeing that Lin Wenxuan didn't look at her, she walked to the door and called the butler, "Bring a cup of tea to Master Lin."
Lin Wenxuan heard the butler's voice and did not go out. He chose a seat farthest away from Sun Youyou.
The housekeeper came quickly, "Master Lin, this is this year's Longjing, please try it."
Lin Wenxuan didn't want to look at Sun Youyou, but as a man, it was not a gentleman's behavior for him to scold Sun Youyou in the absence of Sun Shicheng.
Lin Wenxuan didn't touch the glass of water and stared at the door.
"Brother Wenxuan, are you here to see my brother to go to the literary gathering together? Can I go with you? I also want to see it."
Lin Wenxuan ignored her, and now he was able to resist scolding her, which was already worthy of the sage books he had read for so many years.
