This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

It's not too difficult to get the news, but you have to think of a way.

Su Lin probably knew why Hu Ya wanted to find out about Cao Xi, and he wanted to know so clearly. He couldn't ask the people in Cao's house directly, so he could only find out from other people.

Zhu Si didn't come back after going to the yamen. Even if there was no news in the village, everyone knew what they should know.

Especially after Village Chief Su came back, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Who couldn't see it?

Old Master Su also followed him home, but Jia stayed in the yamen.

"Zhu... The nobleman couldn't leave her, so he wanted her to stay there to accompany him. I heard that Constable Liang had gone to Nanlin City and planned to take the Zhou family over, and then go to the capital together." When Old Master Su said this, he couldn't help but sigh that Jia was a fool with good fortune.

Come to think of it.

His daughter-in-law was confused about food and had always been a little bit stupid.

It was precisely because of this that she didn't have too many little thoughts, and anyone could see it at a glance. Miss Zhu Si must have seen it, so she wanted to get close to her.

If Jia Shi didn't have a family, her husband and son were in the village, those people would have wanted to take Jia Shi to the capital directly.

However, even if she didn't go with him to live a good life, the reward would not be small.

"The noble lady's belongings are still at home, how about I go to the government office tomorrow and send them to her?" Su Lin said.

Old Master Su thought for a while, "Okay, you go there, and others don't go there."

If they keep running there, others might think that their family wants to climb up the social ladder.

It's not surprising to have this idea, but the old man doesn't like the housekeeper Wen too much. The housekeeper of the Marquis's Mansion is so impatient. If it weren't for the casual little young master's intervention, the news that Zhu Si was found would spread throughout the town.

It's a good thing to find someone.

But after all, she is a girl, how can she shout about such things?

She is really not afraid of ruining the reputation of his master.

The Marquis's Mansion that can teach such a servant is not necessarily good.

Of course, Mr. Su would not say such things directly. No matter how bad the Marquis's Mansion is, it is not for him to discuss.

It was just right for Su Lin, a child, to deliver the things. Even if Zhu Si did not need the things left in the Su family, they could not keep them.

The next morning, Su Lin set off with a basket on his back.

After entering the yamen and explaining his purpose, he was taken directly to Butler Wen.

There was a dark circle under Butler Wen's eyelids, obviously because he did not sleep well last night, but he was very energetic, and the corners of his mouth that were raised never went down.

Butler Wen rarely looked arrogant, and was very polite, "Your family is good. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely mention it to the master, and then I will definitely reward you."

"Thank you, butler." Su Lin smiled like a child.

Butler Wen nodded.

The reason why he was so friendly was simple.

Who made his young master rely on Jia the most now? Besides, he will definitely be promoted after returning to the capital. How could he be so stern about such a happy thing?

He even had time to talk to a young man. Butler Wen said, "Don't worry. We will arrange for someone to send your mother back before we go to the capital."

Su Lin thanked him again and looked around.

Butler Wen glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to see your mother? Not now, she is accompanying the young master."

"No, no." Su Lin grinned, "I have met Mr. Cao twice before, so I want to say hello to him."

"Really?" Butler Wen replied lightly, "For the sake of your mother, I will remind you not to have too much contact with him."

Su Lin seemed to be very curious, "Why?"

"Why else, I am busy." Butler Wen is now very unhappy with Cao Xi. He waited for three years for the young master to come, but Cao Xi just happened to pass by and he ran into such a good thing.

When he returns to the capital, he can get some benefits.

He feels a little unwilling just thinking about it.

But he is a legitimate master after all, so he dare not do anything behind his back no matter how unwilling he is.

He can only talk about it.

Just like now, before Su Lin asked, he told all the bad things about the Cao family.

Although it is a royal merchant, it was also built by the old man of the Cao family.

After the death of the old man Cao, the Cao family is now on a downward slope.

The head of the family does not think about how to consolidate the business, but is obsessed with the backyard.

Especially favoring concubines and killing wives, giving birth to a bunch of illegitimate sons and daughters, and hating the only legitimate son to death.

The reason is also because the old man of the Cao family gave the most important thing to Cao Xi before he passed away.

Only the Cao family knows what it is.

Outsiders only know that the two fathers and sons are enemies. Cao Xisheng can do nothing for his son and can only endure his father's anger. Even the children of the concubines can look at him coldly, otherwise he would not be exiled to this remote town at this age.

"After all, he is still too young and has no ability. As long as the word filial piety is weighing on him, he will never be able to turn over." Butler Wen stretched out his hand and touched his beard, looking like he was pointing out the country. "The reason why he followed to the yamen was nothing more than to take advantage of the light of the Marquis' Mansion, but he didn't think about it. How could the Marquis' Mansion possibly interfere in the affairs between them? You know, his father climbed up to the Three Emperors... cough cough."

Butler Wen coughed several times in a row, and he waved his hand and said, "These are not things that you, a commoner, can know. It's not good for you to know too much."

Su Lin also showed a scared look at this time, "It turns out that Master Cao is not easy, he has shouldered so much by himself, but... why did I hear that he is still looking for his brother, could it be that he is the illegitimate son born by the concubine?"

Housekeeper Wen also heard about Cao Xi's search for someone.

Just think that Cao Xi went to the village to inquire about the news. After all, the two masters were missing not long apart, so I think he can find him in the village with a glimmer of hope.

"He is not a illegitimate son, but a brother of the same family." Housekeeper Wen was not very interested in continuing to talk about these things at this time, but looking at Su Lin's pair of inquiring eyes, he couldn't help but say a few more things, "It's just that except Cao Xi, no one in the Cao family cares about this child. If this child is really found, it will not be a good thing for Cao Xi. People in the Cao family would like to use this child to threaten Cao Xi."

He snorted: "Even now, Cao Xi has a group of people around him who are staring at him. He can't even take care of himself, let alone have another child."

At this time, someone came outside the door and said that he had bought a few maids and asked Housekeeper Wen to come and take a look.

Butler Wen no longer wanted to chat, so he asked them to leave: "Okay, you can go back to the village first. I will have someone send your mother back in a few days."

Knowing what he should know, Su Lin did not stay for long.

He thanked him and left.

After Su Lin returned to the village, he told Hu Ya everything he had found out.

Hu Ya frowned.

He bit his lower lip tightly and did not speak.

After Su Lin finished speaking, he said: "That's all I know."

He repeated almost everything Butler Wen said, without missing a single thing, even though some things were difficult for Hu Ya to accept, but he still said them.

The next time was a bit silent.

After a long while, Hu Ya asked: "Aren't you going to ask me?"

Why did you want to find out about Cao Xi?

Why did you feel so uncomfortable after hearing it?

Hu Ya thought Brother Su Lin would ask him a lot of questions.

He had prepared some words in his mind, but he felt that if he really used false words to perfunctorily help him like this, he would feel bad.

He hesitated for a long time.

But he didn't expect that the other party didn't ask him anything.

Su Lin patted his head, "The money has been paid, and I have no regrets. I have already accepted your things, and it doesn't matter whether you ask or not."

He knew the relationship between Hu Ya and Cao Xi.

He also roughly knew what difficulties Cao Xi was facing now, but he didn't intend to intervene.

Hu Ya was young, but he had a lot of ideas.

He felt that Hu Ya could make decisions by himself and didn't need them to give too much advice.

"Cao Xi will come to my house in a few days. If you want, you can come and be a guest."

"Can you?" Hu Ya's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but tiptoe to grab Su Lin's hand, "Can I really come?"

He was very confused now and didn't know what decision to make.

But if he could see Mr. Cao again, he would still be very willing to come.

"Of course." Su Lin nodded. "As a reward, why don't you send another basket of peaches?"

"Okay! I'll pick the big ones for you." Hu Ya nodded heavily, and went straight to the forest without saying anything extra.

Cao Xi came on the third day.

He had someone inform him in advance before coming, and also prepared a lot of visiting gifts.

It was not to show that he was rich, but to show that he valued him.

For this reason, Su Jianyi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He felt that he must be very talented, otherwise why would this young master value him so much?

He was so happy that he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Fortunately, Su Boting was present in this exchange. After a while, Su Jianyi, who was a little erratic, was directly pressed to the ground and crushed.

The swelled pride disappeared instantly, and he became honest.

This scene fell directly into Cao Xi's eyes.

Su Jianyi was indeed a person who could be befriended, but he was more surprised than him, Su Boting.

After discussing homework and poetry, Cao Xi never thought that such a small village could have such an outstanding scholar.

Make friends?

Of course he wanted to make friends, and he immediately agreed with Su Boting that even if they could not meet often in the future, they would still communicate by letter.

During this period, Su Jianyi was naturally not missing.

Su Jianyi did not see who the other party was for. Anyway, he was very happy at this time, and even said shamelessly that he would definitely visit his house when he went to Beijing for the exam in the future.

Go to Beijing.

If he can go to Beijing for the exam, he must be a juren.

Su Jianyi is really confident in himself.

When the three of them were talking, Hu Ya was also there.

But he did not appear in front of the three people, but huddled in the corner with a basket, listening to them quietly.

It was not that Su Lin did not let anyone in, but Hu Ya just shook his head and squatted there and was unwilling to come out.

Until the three people in the room said goodbye to each other.

When Cao Xi was about to come out, Hu Ya quickly stood up.

However, because his feet were numb from squatting, he fell forward. Fortunately, he was supported by a pair of hands before he fell.

"Are you okay?" Cao Xi asked, and he smiled at the child, "You must stand firmly next time. It will hurt if you fall."

Hu Ya looked at him straight, and just when he was about to let go, he grabbed his wrist and handed him the basket in his hand: "Brother, brother eats bayberries, and he chooses the biggest and reddest ones. I specially saved them for you."

The smile on Cao Xi's face froze.

——My brother eats it. The biggest and reddest bayberry is given to him.

——Brother eat bayberry, I specially left it for you.

——The largest and reddest bayberry is delicious.

——I picked these out one by one, saving the best ones for my brother to eat.

A childish voice seemed to float in my ears. My younger brother loved eating bayberries the most, but he would always leave the best ones to him.

Not only does the little kid know how to eat, he is also very picky.

The largest and reddish one I picked has a particularly good taste, not too sour or too greasy.

Cao Xi opened his eyes wide and looked at the child in front of him seriously.

The little child looks very thin. Maybe he runs outside a lot and is a little tanned.

But he could still vaguely see his brother's shadow on the child's face.

He opened his mouth, his throat a little hoarse: "Does the biggest and reddest one have to be delicious?"

The words fell with a slight tremor.

Hu Ya shook his head, "No, it's because I want to give it to my brother, so the ones I choose carefully are the most delicious."

Cao Xi was instantly jealous.

He really wanted to ignore everything and just hold the child in his arms.

But……

He could do nothing but freeze in place.

"It doesn't matter if you've finished eating the bayberries. Next year, the year after that, or even many, many years later, as long as my brother wants to eat, I can pick them for you." Hu Ya handed over the small basket in his hand, with a big smile on his face. "Whenever you want to eat, come to me. I will be waiting for you."

Cao Xi suppressed the sadness in his heart, nodded heavily, and said hoarsely, "Okay, you wait for me, you must wait for me."

After saying that, he remembered the child in front of him, took the basket and turned to leave.

The boy waiting outside followed him and was about to reach out to take the basket in his hand. Cao Xi did not let him go and held him in his arms until he got on the carriage.

It seems like everything has been said, but also like nothing has been said.

Su Jianyi, who was confused, looked at it inexplicably. He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Is it possible that these two people know each other?

Definitely not.

Hu Ya was the child picked up by Yin Huan. He was just a beggar in the town before. How could he know a rich man from the capital?

After the group left, Hu Ya said in front of them: "I have decided to follow Yin Huan to the capital."

The day before yesterday, Yin Huan had someone send a message, saying that he wanted to take him to the capital.

He was still hesitant at the time.

But he didn't make up his mind until he just met his brother.

His brother is in a very bad situation now, but he knows that he has not given up and will definitely go through very difficult things and clear all obstacles before coming to pick him up.

But he didn't want to just wait.

He wanted to follow Yin Huan and get as much information as possible, so that he might be able to help his brother.

"Yin Huan? She may not have a good life if she goes to the capital. Don't get involved if you go with her." Su Jianyi didn't know the whole story, but when he heard Yin Huan's name, he knew that this girl would definitely not end well.

He didn't believe this nonsense about following the daughter of the Hou family to enjoy happiness.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just a child picked up by Yin Huan. The people in the Hou Mansion won't care about me." Hu Ya said.

In other words, I was too lazy to argue with him.

It would be too shameful for them to argue with a little beggar.

Hu Ya held his head high, with hope in his eyes, "I want to stay by Yin Huan's side and help my eldest brother find out some information. My eldest brother is also in the capital and can communicate with me better. When everything is resolved, he can pick me up." Go home."

"Brother? Who is your eldest brother?" Su Jianyi was a little confused.

Hu Ya didn't explain his doubts. After bowing and thanking Brother Boting and Brother Lin, he walked to the woods with small steps.

There is still some money he earned hidden in the grove.

After digging it out, he took it to find Yin Huan.

Zhu Si and his party left on a drizzly day.

Yin Huan never returned to the town, and Hu Ya followed him to Beijing, but Widow Chen was left behind in the town.

She didn't dare go into the Yamen to look for anyone, for fear of being implicated.

But when she heard that Yin Huan and others were following them to the capital, she panicked again.

Is Yin Huan going to the capital to live a good life and abandoning her completely? !

How does this work?

How is this possible?

However, no one paid attention to her madness, and each family still lived their own small lives.

More than two years have passed and the county examination is coming.

In the past two years, Su Jianyi felt as if he was in a dream. In the dream, he was like a donkey. Whenever he stopped, there would be someone behind him with a whip intending to whip him.

It was simply miserable.
