Lin Chong decided to send them there now to avoid long nights and dreams. Although Wen Shaoxue and Liu Er repeatedly invited them to stay one night at her brother Song's place, Lin Chong felt that it was not good to bother them on the one hand, and on the other hand
He also didn't want to live in a stranger's home. After consulting other people who agreed with him, Lin Chong politely declined the kindness of the master and servant and booked a room at the inn.
Although Wen Shaoxue felt that it was a pity to spend more money, she couldn't say anything since they insisted.
According to the address written in previous letters, Wen Shaoxue found the place by relying on his own memory and inquiries along the way. Judging from the appearance of the house, the Song family is indeed a wealthy family. Putting the two of them here, Lin Chong can also
Leave with peace of mind.
Wen Shaoxue got off the sedan with the unique shyness of a girl about to see her long-lost lover.
When Liu'er ran to the door, the guard stopped her and looked at her from top to bottom: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Liu'er raised her little head arrogantly: "Bind your eyes and see clearly. This is the mistress of the Song Mansion. Please call your adults to pick her up immediately. Can you bear the neglect?"
Those guards looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Liu Er stamped her feet anxiously: "Whether it is true or not, you will know later. Why don't you hurry up and tell Master Song."
One of them whispered something to the other, and then turned to Liu'er: "Guys, please wait a moment. I'll report to my family first before letting you go." After saying that, he trotted into the inner courtyard.
Liu'er snorted and came back to help her young lady: "These guards look down on others. When Mr. Song comes out later, I must file a complaint with him properly. Then they will look good on me."
Shao Xue shook his head: "I haven't met Brother Jin for a long time. Don't cause trouble to him as soon as you come. After all, these guards don't know me. It's only their duty to stop us. What's wrong? You'll wait for me
You should be polite and don't speak rudely to the people in Brother Jin's house."
Liu'er curled her lips and promised obediently: "I know, I know, Liu'er will never cause trouble to the young lady and Mr. Song. You haven't seen each other for so long. Mr. Song must miss the young lady very much."
Shao Xue blushed: "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Chong originally wanted to wait for this or something to come out, take the two girls in, say a few polite words, and then leave. As a result, he waited with them outside for a full hour, but he didn't see Mr. Song coming out.
Lin Chong was also a little angry. Your girlfriend came all the way to find you, so what do you mean by leaving her outside for two hours? He was about to go down and argue with some guards when he saw someone coming out.
A tall, thin man walked out. He looked like a frail nerd. Lin Chong secretly cursed in his heart, just like this dead Zhou Ze. I don’t know why girls seem to particularly prefer this kind of boy. Wenwen is weak.
I don’t know what’s so good about it?
He was angrily thinking about this, completely unaware that in the eyes of others, he was also a helpless nerd, perhaps worse than a nerd, after all, he had not read many books.
This man, who looked like a nerd at first glance, came over and put his coat on Wen Shaoxue gently, and explained in a rather apologetic tone: "I'm really sorry that I made you wait outside for so long, Xue'er. I just got home.
Something urgent happened and I was dealing with something. The guards saw that I was anxious and didn't tell me that you were outside, which made you wait outside for so long in vain. I must punish them well."
Shao Xue shook his head: "It's okay. Xue'er knows that Brother Jin is busy every day. The guards just don't want to disturb you. Don't blame them. Xue'er will be fine if you wait for a while."
Liu'er glared hard at the guards who had just stopped them, but since he had just promised the lady not to cause any trouble to them, he said nothing in the end.
Only then did Shao Xue realize that she was standing here talking to Brother Jin without actually introducing Lin Chong and the others to each other. She ran over embarrassedly and introduced Lin Chong and others: "This is Song Jintang, the general magistrate of Wei Hui Mansion.
These are the benefactors I met on the way here, and thanks to them I was able to find you so smoothly. These are Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhou, and their companions."
Song Jintang raised his hands to several people and said, "Thank you all for sending Xueer here. I wonder where they live? Song must have prepared a big gift and came to thank you personally."
Zhou Ze was worried that His Majesty the Emperor would be jealous of money again, and it would be bad if people misunderstood his innocent motives. So he answered before Lin Chong: "We are just a few guests who happened to be passing by. We are temporarily staying in the inn. Song
You're welcome, sir. Miss Wen has also delivered it, so we'll go back." After that, he said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Lin Chong frowned. He always felt that Song Jintang did not look like a good person. But seeing Song Jintang holding Wen Shaoxue's hand affectionately and asking for welfare all the way, he felt that he was overthinking. The tall and thin nerd might not necessarily
He is a bad guy, look at our Zhou Ze, he is recognized as a gentleman by everyone.
After thinking this way, he stopped worrying. It was better to go back and have a good night's rest, then get up and continue on the road tomorrow morning. In order to take care of the master and servant these days, the speed has been much slower, not to mention taking a long detour, so he must hurry up.
Make up for the journey these days as soon as possible.
Therefore, when he was about to go out the next morning and saw Wen Shaoxue and Liu'er squatting at the door, he almost screamed.
Zhou Ze was a little calmer. He helped Wen Shaoxue up and looked at Liu Er: "What's going on?"
Liu'er's eyes were also red. She flattened her mouth and whispered in a very aggrieved voice: "I blame that Song Jintang. He is just a sanctimonious dressed beast. No, worse than a beast."
Lin Chong raised his head and said, "Let's get down to business. I'll scold you later. Your vocabulary is really poor."
Everyone:...It seems like something is not right?
Liu Er helped Shao Xue into the inn and told in detail what happened after they left last night.
It turned out that after Wen Shaoxue entered the Song Mansion, Song Jintang asked her strangely why she came here suddenly without telling him in advance.
Shao Xue whispered to him about the situation at home and expressed that she wanted to live with him for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Song Jintang immediately became unhappy when he heard that the Wen family was in decline.
