The room fell into silence, with only Mr. Xiao lamenting.
The eldest lady handed the letter to Lin Wanjie, and Lin Wanjie glanced at the master hesitantly.
The master said nothing and did not stop him.
Then Lin Wanjie took the letter and read it briefly.
The letter was sent by a friend of Mr. Xiao in the capital. The main message was that King Cheng was imprisoned and there were treacherous officials going around collecting evidence of King Cheng's rebellion. Many of the old servants who had anything to do with King Cheng were arrested. The old friend who sent the letter asked Mr. Xiao to make plans in advance.
After reading the letter, Lin Wanjie also fell into silence.
Lin Wanjie can still use some knowledge to resolve some small matters.
When it comes to party struggles in the court, the Xiao family is another family that is implicated.
The matter was very complicated. Lin Wanjie didn't have any useful information, so he couldn't make a judgment at all, let alone give an opinion.
"Lin Da, what do you think we should do?" The eldest lady finally asked.
Lin Wanjie bit the bullet and thought: "How long does it take to get from Beijing to Hangzhou?"
"Ten days on a fast horse, half a month's journey."
"If something really happens, we estimate that we still have a week to prepare. Should we move the whole family..." Lin Wanjie said as she really had no good solution.
"Nonsense!" Mr. Xiao, who had been lamenting, suddenly shouted, "What I said in my heart is that the prince has not been convicted! There are treacherous officials and traitors who have designed to frame the prince! If I leave now, I will be fleeing in fear of crime! The lives of dozens of people in the Xiao family are of course important, But compared to the prince’s innocence and reputation, this is nothing! Prince Cheng treats me with great kindness and will never trap the prince in injustice!”
Lin Wanjie was stunned.
what is this?
Mr. Xiao is still a loyal servant, it has been more than ten or twenty years, and he still wants to risk his whole family's life for his old master?
"I tell you, this matter must not be spread outside! No one can leave the Xiao family! Prince Cheng will never do anything to rebel. As the saying goes, if you are upright, you are not afraid of a distorted shadow. There is... nothing to be afraid of."
Mr. Xiao was very excited. After speaking, he covered his heart and kept coughing.
The eldest lady quickly stepped forward to help her and said, "Don't worry, sir, no one will leave..."
"Anyway...anyway..." Mr. Xiao seemed to have no way to deal with it, and sighed again, "Hey!"
Mr. Xiao was exhausted and soon lay down and fell asleep.
The eldest lady walked to the eaves with Lin Wanjie with a frown on her face.
At this time, Xiao Mansion was bathed in the moonlight, and the night wind was quiet, blowing a hint of spring warmth.
Compared with the severe cold a month ago, the night at this time was as gentle as a delicate girl.
But things that were pressing on the Xiao family came one after another, making it difficult for both the master and the servant under the roof to relax.
"Aren't you going to do nothing?" the eldest lady asked quietly.
After a while, the eldest lady sighed again: "What can I do?"
"Yeah! What can I do?"
As a time traveler, Lin Wanjie felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
"Mom, Lin Da... what are you doing?"
Suddenly, Xiao Yuchan came over with a tired look on her face.
Seeing the two of them standing under the eaves, the eldest lady felt a hint of unexplainable vigilance in her heart.
"No, it's nothing..."
The eldest lady's response was a bit unnatural, and Xiao Yuchan found it even more strange.
Arriving under the eaves, Xiao Yuchan looked at her mother, then at Lin Wanjie, and took the initiative to reach out and grab Lin Wanjie's big hand: "I have to go to the academy tomorrow morning, so go back to bed quickly."
With that said, regardless of Lin Wanjie's response, he dragged his big hand and left.
Lin Wanjie was really dragged away by the eldest lady, and looked back at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady looked sad and waved to Lin Wanjie: "You can study with Yuchan in peace."
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Wanjie was lying on the bed, looking at the small courtyard scene outside the window, still thinking about the Xiao family.
If someone really comes to arrest Mr. Xiao, people related to the Xiao family will not be spared.
Lin Wanjie is one of them.
Protecting the Xiao family is also protecting yourself.
Lin Wanjie's first thought was Prince Jing, and wanted to rely on Prince Jing's relationship to resolve the crisis.
Then I thought about it, the matter involved rebellion, and even Prince Jing would not be stupid enough to wade into such troubled waters.
Then there is the White Lotus Sect... Lu Waner... Qin Huairou...
At some point, Lin Wanjie fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, the eldest lady stood aside and stared at him angrily.
"Which servant asks the master to wake up every day? You are too lazy! If you get up, you won't be able to catch up with school."
Lin Wanjie cheered up and stopped thinking about what was and was not, and followed the eldest lady on her way to school.
After leaving Xiao's house and going to the street, when they reached a crossroads, the eldest lady deviated from the route.
Lin Wanjie asked doubtfully: "Miss, where are you going? You went to the wrong place."
Xiao Yuchan stood across the street and waved: "Come here, you're on the right track. I forgot to tell you that today is the university meeting, and students from many colleges will participate."
"College meeting?"
"It's a gathering for students from various colleges to interact with each other. I heard it's very fun."
Lin Wanjie muttered as she crossed the street.
At this time, two scholars came to Xiao Yuchan and saluted: "Classmate Xiao, you came really early."
"Classmate Huang, Classmate Liu, you are also early."
Xiao Yuchan followed suit, holding a folding fan and cupping her hands.
These two are the friends Xiao Yuchan made in Xiande College - Huang Yue and Liu Bingwen.
Today's university meeting was held at the Xizi Book Club by the West Lake. The three of them traveled together to take a look at the spring scenery of the West Lake.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, Xiao Yuchan had never had such an experience, so she was naturally very excited.
He was familiar with the two of them and showed no restraint. He glanced back at Lin Wanjie and walked ahead with the two classmates.
Lin Wanjie said nothing, silently watching her young lady talking and laughing with her two classmates. She felt that the little girl had grown up a lot in just ten days of student life, and she couldn't help but smile like an old father. There is a sense of happiness that a daughter has grown up in my family.
"Lin Da, follow me, don't get lost."
Xiao Yuchan turned around and waved and shouted softly. She happened to see Lin Wanjie's silly smile, which made the eldest lady feel strange in her heart, but she was sure that this fool was always looking at her.
Xiao Yuchan's face turned red, and the two classmates on her left and right were fascinated.
In ancient times, all young masters had some hobbies.
The book boy also has the responsibility of letting the young masters vent their desires.
The classmates Huang and Liu next to me were young, and their mouths watered when they saw the red face of Xiao.
One of them reached out to touch it.
Lin Wanjie frowned and stretched out his hand to block it.
The other party didn't touch Xiao Yuchan's face, but Lin Wanjie did.
Although it was just a gentle rub on the skin, the delicate water-like touch was by no means comparable to the three ladies of the Xiao family.
Being young has the advantage of being young, with a touch of coldness in addition to delicacy, like a layer of ripples in the clear spring of a mountain stream, like silk passing through the fingertips in the spring breeze, and a touch of red clouds brings a touch of warmth, like a dream It seemed like an illusion, making Lin Wanjie feel a little dazed. He didn't know what he had touched?
Xiao Yuchan trembled slightly, and her rough big hand rubbed her delicate cheek. Although it was a little uncomfortable, the touch was clearer.
Writing poems for several days allowed the eldest lady to see Lin Wanjie's talent. She knew that this was a dusty pearl, and her inner thoughts were not as ordinary as she seemed on the outside. It's hard to imagine that such a rough man could write such delicate emotions as "If love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night".
In Xiao Yuchan's heart, she already had an inexplicable filter for her servant Lin Da.
At this moment, being carelessly teased by this rough big hand, the admiration and affection in my heart surged out with my heartbeat.
The eldest lady's heart felt a little weak, and she was about to fall down.
Lin Wanjie took a step forward, gently supported the eldest lady's delicate body, and asked with concern: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah!" Xiao Yuchan was startled, regained her composure and quickly backed away from Lin Wanjie, "No...it's nothing."
Recalling her heartbeat a second ago, Xiao Yuchan's face burned, and she rushed out quickly, never looking back.
"Classmate Xiao, classmate Xiao, wait for me, why are you running so fast?"
The two classmates didn't know what happened, so they took steps to catch up.
Lin Wanjie looked at her big hands, which were still warm and fragrant from the eldest lady.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanjie slapped her hand hard: "I want to eat shit!"
When they arrived at the West Lake, Xiao Yuchan's mood eased slightly and she gradually regained her composure.
Lin Wanjie and the other two book boys followed behind, accompanying their respective masters, all keeping a distance of one meter.
Look at the two handsome little book boys on the left and right, it’s really incomparable.
The three people in front were chatting while admiring the scenery, and they were chattering. They faintly heard someone say: "Classmate Xiao, what arrangements did your parents make? Why did they choose such a big book boy for you? Everyone in the college talks about you. The bookboy is a book bucket, and it looks really scary. Were you scared just now?"
"You should go back and talk to your family about changing you to a handsome, petite, fair and delicate one."
Xiao Yuchan turned around and took a peek at Lin Wanjie: "Why? He's a big guy, he's strong, he can do a lot of things."
"Hahaha..." Huang Yue said with a smile, "Classmate Xiao doesn't understand the true meaning."
"What's the truth?"
Huang Yue lowered his voice and said: "We live with the book boy day and night. We usually eat and live together. There is a fair and delicate book boy who is comfortable to touch at night. If you choose a good one, the taste will be no worse than that of a woman in a brothel!"
"That's right!" Liu Bingwen nodded repeatedly and looked back at his little book boy, his mouth watering.
Only then did Xiao Yuchan realize what they were talking about and screamed: "Ah! You guys, what are you talking about? How can we, the literati, do such a thing?"
"Why not? Student Xiao is still too naive. If you don't know how, we can teach you."
"Snapped!"
Xiao Yuchan subconsciously slapped Liu Bingwen on the face.
Liu Bingwen was stunned for a moment, his face was hot, he touched the place where he was beaten, and recalled classmate Xiao's delicate little hands, which still had a faint fragrance. Instead of being angry, he shouted excitedly: "It feels good!"
"You damn pervert!"
"Classmate Xiao, you, slap me again! Please..."
Lin Wanjie took a step forward and slapped him directly into the West Lake.
"Yeah, are you feeling good again?"
