Warm Life - C238
“Have you heard? The Sun family’s grandpa was under investigation again. The First Prince was in charge of investigating him and found out that he had collected several ten thousand taels of silver from the Ning County Magistrate to help harm the villagers. “Now, the Emperor is furious and says that he wants to expel him for investigation.” In the teahouse, a potbellied middle-aged man was drinking tea and sighing, “The Sun family is a marquis’ residence. No matter how angry the emperor is, he wouldn’t dare to overdo it. If it was anyone else, they would’ve been sentenced to death long ago if they’d accepted several tens of thousands of silver. “Even if the Sun family doesn’t have the prosperity from the past, they are still an outstanding aristocrat.”
“Speaking of which, the Meng and Sun families have always been at odds with each other. Did the Meng Clan make a move on the Sun Clan this time? ” Another person asked curiously, “If it was in the past years, the Meng Family would definitely wish for the Sun Family to execute them.” That year, the First Miss of the Meng Clan was such an elegant beauty. The Sun family’s son had tricked him into leaving. It was still unclear whether he was dead or alive. However, in my opinion, he should have died long ago. A noble young master and a young miss, both of them don’t understand human suffering, how could they possibly have true love? ”
“You can’t say that. The Sun family’s young master didn’t understand human suffering. Didn’t he have a beauty by his side? If you can’t afford to eat, you can just push the beauty beside you into the fire pit and keep her alive for a while longer. ” Another man said in a strange tone.
“What a pity for Imperial Advisor Feng!” A woman sighed and said, “A genius like Imperial Scholar Feng actually lost to a wealthy family without any official positions.”
The conversation in the teahouse reached the ears of the men and women seated at the opposite table. The couple had serious expressions, and anger brewed in their eyes. The man’s expression was quite calm. The woman’s eyes were like flames, as though she was about to burn the person in front of her completely. Bang! The woman put down the silver in her hand and said to the shopkeeper, “Shopkeeper, pay the bill.”
The innkeeper immediately ran over and said with a flattering smile, “Guests, are you satisfied with the tea in our restaurant?”
“Not satisfied.” The woman, who was also Sun Ye Xuan, who had just arrived in the capital, said coldly: “How can I be satisfied with you? The teahouse should be an elegant place, but your place should be catching up to the market soon. ”
The storekeeper’s smile froze on his face. Who said the teahouse was going to be graceful? As long as he had tea and was willing to pay, regardless of whether he was a cat or a dog, he would still welcome them.
Sun Ye Xuan was a bit angry at the shopkeeper. She wasn’t deaf, and the two people they were talking about were obviously her parents. Her parents were very close. What fire pit, she really wanted to slap them in the face.
Sun Lingping patted Sun Ye Xuan’s shoulder and said to the shopkeeper: “I’m not in a good mood, don’t mind me. However, he still tried to dissuade everyone from talking too much. After all, a noble had appeared at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Those old masters were not easy to get along with. If they could hear this nonsense, everyone would be in deep trouble. “I’m afraid this teahouse …”
“Young Master is right. I’ll shut them up right now and never say another word of nonsense. ” Sun Lingping was a noble man. Although he was smiling, he did not get angry. The manager wasn’t able to determine his background, and was slightly afraid that with his special identity, he would offend someone he shouldn’t have.
The Sun siblings left the teahouse, followed by Cai Guo and Sun Lingping’s errand boy. They walked along the street in silence for a while.
Sun Ye Xuan said: “Big brother, they are talking about father and mother, right? I know you know everything. Father and mother didn’t tell me, but I’m not an idiot, how can I not see anything? Mom and Dad don’t want to come to the capital. They don’t want you to take the Imperial examinations because they don’t want to meet the people from the Sun family and the Meng family. Right? ”
“Yes.” “Yes.” Sun Lingliang nodded. Xuanxuan has grown up. There are some things that should be made clear to you. The Meng and Sun families they are talking about are our grandfather’s and grandfather’s. ”
“I see.” After Sun Ye Xuan received the confirmation, she nodded and said: “What will you do next? Meet them? ”
“Nope.” “Father and mother’s marriage is not blessed, and we were not blessed when born,” said Sun. I do what I do, and they live their lives. ”
“I intend to settle in Beijing.” Sun Yanxuan said, “We’ll leave the small notes of the Sun family in Sister Lan’s hands. The dessert house there is closed, so we’ll move over to the capital.”
“Father and mother wouldn’t agree, right?” Sun Lingbo said in surprise.
“I’ll get them to agree.” Sun Ye Xuan looked at Sun Lingzi and firmly said, “Escaping is not the way to solve the problem. If they wanted to gain the approval of their loved ones, they had to let them know that their choice was correct. If the Sun and Meng families don’t care about their parents, why would we care about their opinions? Father and mother are married, and we have children. If they play tricks now to separate them, Father and Mother will agree, and we will not agree. Besides, they may not know that we live here. I just think the development of Beijing is better. Huanhuan can also study at the academy in Beijing. Once you get into the top three, you will definitely become an official. It will also be more convenient for our family to be together. ”
“How did you know it would be an official? Maybe become a local official. “For example, a county magistrate or something.” “When the time comes, we might not even be able to stay in Beijing.” Sun Lingzi said.
“I asked the steward, and he said that with the current emperor as a person, he would not normally confer the top three positions as local officials. The top three would be heavily prized by the court and would remain by his side to observe. Whether or not there would be any special uses in the future would depend on their performance. If he performed well, he would be promoted quickly. “Therefore, I am sure that you will remain in the capital.” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“Alright! “If you really want me to stay in the capital, I’ll help you convince your parents.” Sun Lingyang smiled and said, “Having eaten Xuanxuan’s delicacies, I really can’t stand the days when you’re not around.”
“Is that so? Now you know I’m important? “Then hurry up and find me a sister-in-law. I’ll teach her how to cook so that you can enjoy your blessings everyday.” Sun Ye Xuan said.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.” “Do you still want to go for an outing on the mountain today?” Sun Lingbo asked.
“I’m not in the mood anymore.” Sun Ye Xuan said, “Big brother, how many more days until the results come out?”
“Five days!” Sun Lingbo said, “What’s the matter?”
“Let’s go for a stroll in Beijing right now. If we are to really settle here, we must get to know this place. ” Sun Ye Xuan held Sun Lingyang’s hand as they strolled down the street.
Cai Guo and the errand boy followed behind. Sun Ye Xuan bought something, they were responsible for carrying it. The capital was not their small town. It was very big. It is divided into the inner and outer cities. The people who lived in the outer city were commoners. The inner city was the residence of an official. The legendary Sun family and Meng family lived in the inner city.
Sun Ye Xuan accompanied Sun Ling Zhou around for a few hours. They looked at many shops and a few mansions. These days, Sun Ye Xuan had earned some money. However, he realized that this amount of money was nothing in the capital city, which was a place where every inch of land was worth a lot. The capital was a place where people could gain experience. If one had never seen the prosperity of the capital, then they would have wasted their lives.
They were walking down the street when a man bumped into them. Sun Lingping quickly pulled Sun Ye Xuan behind him.
The man fell to the ground, his body stained with blood. A few people rushed over and started to punch and kick him. One of the men with luxurious clothes finally walked over and coldly looked at the man: “Hit him! Beat this kid to death! Who do you think you are? How dare you think about our Sun family. Even if she’s a Shu, she’s still a young miss. A poor scholar like you, what are you? ”
When the crowd heard the man’s words, they all took a few steps back. One of the young men who was dressed like a scholar said to his colleagues, “I’ve long said that Zhang Xiusheng is a toad that wants to eat swan meat. Even if the Sun family’s third young miss was a concubine, it was impossible for her to marry a scholar without any power. “We advised him not to listen, but now that he’s in the hands of the Sun family’s seventh young master, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be stripped of his skin.”
“Pitiful! The Sun family’s third young mistress had an ordinary appearance. How could he be so stubborn? ”
“Isn’t it because he wants to be a vassal to the rich and powerful? “Now that the nobility have not succeeded, they are about to be killed.”
Sun Ye Xuan sized up the man in front of her. Upon closer inspection, this person was somewhat similar to Sun Lingzi. The Sun family was Sun Yuanjie’s family. This brat was related to them in some way.
At this moment, he was dressed like a popinjay, with eyes that seemed to grow on top of his head. The way he dressed made people want to rob him just by looking at his clothes.
“Seventh Young Master, if you continue, I’m going to beat you to death.” One of the servants probed the scholar’s breath and said to the Sun family’s seventh young master, “There have been a lot of things happening in the family recently, is it still …”
“Does laozi want you to teach me?” The Sun family’s seventh young master smacked the servant hard on the head. “I will let this brat go today. If there’s a next time, I will directly send him to Hades.”
The Sun family’s seventh young master left with his servants.
Only then did the other commoners dare to breathe too loudly.
“Zhang Xiucai’s luck is really good. If the emperor wasn’t angry, how could the Seventh Young Master of the Sun family let him go so easily? He finally managed to survive. ”
“How about now? Do you want to see him? ”
“What does it have to do with us? Since you dare to do such a bold thing, you should be prepared to bear the consequences. ”
Sun Lingyang said to Sun Ye Xuan, “Let’s go!”
Sun Ye Xuan looked at that person and said, “The heart of a doctor.” Even if he wanted to leave, he had to first check on his safety. His injuries are quite severe, so let me give him a few needles before leaving! ”
Sun Yanxuan squatted down and checked on Zhang Xiushan’s injuries. This examination gave him a fright. This Zhang Xiushan was already sick, but now that he was beaten up like this, he was even more injured. He was already on his last breath. If he didn’t do anything today, he definitely wouldn’t live past two hours.
She immediately injected the medicine and pulled him back from the gates of hell. After a few acupuncture points, Zhang Xiushan’s fingers moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
“I… “He’s not dead?” Zhang Xiu looked at the figure in front of him and asked painfully, “Who are you? Here… This was the main street. Am I dying? ”
“If you want to die, it’s very easy. “I can pull out the needles on your body. No matter how bad your injuries are, you can die by yourself.” Sun Ye Xuan lightly said.
Zhang Xiu Cai shook his head and said painfully, “I don’t want to die. Girl, help me. I have an old mother in my family. I don’t want to die! Young lady, save me! ”
“Then shut up! You need to rest, so don’t talk now. ” After Sun Ye Xuan finished speaking, she said to Sun Lingzi’s errand boy, “Help him to the opposite inn. Be careful, don’t run into him.”
