There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 197: Went to the Lin Mansion for a banquet and found beets!
It's over here.

The unruly school captain has been taken away by Wu Huada.

The diners in front of the stinky tofu stall continued to line up to buy stinky tofu, and together with shopkeeper Luo and other neighbors in the distance, they looked at Su Xian from time to time...

On the tall building behind her, Liu Huixiang stood motionless in front of the window. She would not move if Su Xian did not leave.

On another tall building, Chen Keyan swore secretly with her silver teeth, then waved her hand and returned to the room.

on the street.

Su Xian carefully put the gold medal away, looked back at Lin Chuan and asked with a smile:
"Brother Lin, what happened just now? Why were you mistaken by the soldiers for being a bandit accomplice?"

"Brother Su, it's a long story..."

Lin Chuan's fair face still showed a look of shock. Through his story, Su Xian understood that it was actually a misunderstanding, so it was okay not to mention it.

Su Xian asked again:

"By the way, Brother Lin, why aren't you studying at the county school? Why did you come to me?"

The county school is under closed management, and there is a ten-day holiday every ten days. Students are not allowed to step outside the county school during the non-holiday period... Of course, there are also those who do not follow the rules, such as Liu Ziyun, the son of the former governor of Yingzhou.

"Brother Su, have you forgotten that today is a day for bathing, and the county school is also on holiday." Lin Chuan said, looking very surprised.

"Hey, look at me, I haven't gone to the county school for so long that I have forgotten this... I am now a 'Jinshi', and I no longer have to go to the county school... Hey! In fact, I really miss the old time."

Su Xian shook his head gently.

A look of melancholy on his face.

But when Lin Chuan heard these words, he always felt strange. As for what the blame was, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he secretly thought: "It would be great if I didn't have to go to the county school. I could spend all day in the brothel." …”

"By the way, why is Brother Lin here looking for me?" Su Xian asked again.

Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, as if he just remembered this incident, patted his head and said:
"It's not a big deal. Didn't Brother Su give me some gifts yesterday? So my father asked me to invite you to visit me and have a light meal as a return gift."

"I see... without further ado, let's go now." Su Xian accepted happily.

"..."

Immediately, the two of them took Lin Chuan's carriage and drove all the way to the Lin Mansion in the east of the city.

……

at the same time.

Lin House.

In front of the gate with red lacquer and copper nails, under the stone steps, there is a bluestone street.

There are several flatbed trucks lined up on the street. In front of the trucks, more than a dozen young men in Tsing Yi are carrying basket after basket of things to the trucks. Half of them are already loaded, and there are still more than ten baskets left.

Lin Mansion's housekeeper was on hand to give instructions.

Several bankers in shabby clothes were also helping, with happy faces.

The contents of the basket were slightly larger than an adult man's fist, covered with soil and shaped like a sweet potato. This was the flaming vegetable head mentioned by the butler last night.

The reason why these vegetables were loaded onto the truck was to be taken out of the city and thrown away.

No more.

Because no one eats the head of flame vegetables, it is only eaten in years of famine, not to mention that the head of the Lin Mansion will not eat this kind of food.

Logically speaking, this is the rent sent by the farmer. It was finally delivered. No matter what, it should not be taken out of the city and thrown away.

But Father Lin was really happy last night. The housekeeper saw the opportunity to report the matter. Father Lin was so happy that he exempted the farmers from their guilt and rent. He also ordered these vegetables that took up space to be taken out of the city and thrown away!
So, there is this scene now...

"Hurry up, move quickly, don't wait too long, this is the gate of Lin Mansion, don't block it here..." the housekeeper kept urging.

The waiters and dealers tried their best, with beads of sweat breaking out on their foreheads, but the speed of loading was still not satisfactory to the housekeeper.

Suddenly, a horse galloped from the distance on the street, and a man came with a whip.

This was a young man in green clothes from the Lin Mansion. After getting off his horse, he ran straight to the gate of the Lin Mansion.

The butler's brows furrowed slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He grabbed him and asked, "What's going on in such a hurry?"

Seeing that it was the butler, the boy quickly bowed and said, "Butler, the young master has invited Su Wenxue. Their carriage will be arriving soon. I will come back in advance to inform Alang to prepare."

"Got it, let's go."

After the boy rushed into the house, the housekeeper raised his eyebrows when he looked at the boy loading the car and the farmers, and shouted loudly:

"Su Wenxu is a distinguished guest of Alang. We can't let him see you loading the car in front of the house. Move faster, faster!"

"Yes!"

"..."

The servants and the farmers obviously accelerated their speed.

But it still seems too slow.

The housekeeper was worried and immediately ordered to find help in the house...

In fact, the reason why we have to delay discarding the flame cabbage until now is because we have no choice but to do so.

Originally, the housekeeper planned to load the car early in the morning.

But they were told that Su Wenxue might be a guest and told them not to move.

As a result, Su Wenxue didn't come after waiting all morning...

In the afternoon, there was another delay. Seeing that most of the afternoon had passed, the housekeeper concluded that Su Wenxue would not be visiting today, so he ordered the car to be loaded.

But God did not fulfill his wishes...

After a while, the owner of Lin Mansion and Lin Chuan's father came to the door of the house in person, preparing to welcome Su Xian's arrival.

In terms of seniority, Lin's father didn't have to personally welcome him out of the house, but Su Xian had an official status, which was different, and Lin's father was just a member of the staff at most.

His status as a descendant of the Lin family, a wealthy family, was not easy to use.

Especially since he was just a descendant of the Lin family.

After Lin's father walked out of the house, he saw a mess on the street at the door.

His face darkened, he strode up to the housekeeper and asked:
"How is this going?"

The butler's face turned the color of pig liver, so he had no choice but to explain.

After hearing the explanation, Father Lin's face completely fell and he said majestically:

"Old man, no matter what you do, as long as you clear this place before nephew Su Xian arrives, you will not be held responsible."

"If, when Su Wenxue arrives, the front of the mansion is still in such a mess, both the servants and the villagers in the mansion will be punished. The servants will be fine, but as for you villagers..."

"I said I can't hold you accountable for using flame cabbage as rent!"

"..."

After Father Lin said these words with a cold face, everyone at the scene felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and wanted to plead for the bankers, but felt unable to speak.

The boys are all fine.

Those honest farmers were really frightened and worried. While carrying the baskets as if they were desperate, they quietly waved their sleeves to wipe away their tears...

……

the other side.

Su Xian and Lin Chuan rode in the same carriage and rushed all the way to the Lin Mansion.

The two talked and laughed, no different from before.

In the past, the two of them lived in the same room at the county school, and the topics they talked about were nothing more than academic studies and women. Of course, Su Xian only listened when Lin Chuan talked about women...
