That afternoon, Bai Sheng received a message from a servant of the Su family, asking him to go back tomorrow. Bai Sheng had to take a day off from the Imperial Academy and planned to go back early tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Bai Sheng took a carriage, bought some gifts for everyone in the old house in the city, and then went to Jinjia Village. When Bai Sheng arrived at Jinjia Village, there was nothing like when Yu Zheng came yesterday. treatment.
Neither Su Lao Er nor Lian Shi are at home. Su Yan has been recuperating at home for several days. Lian Shi did not go to the workshop during this period and went to have a look early this morning. Su Lao Er went to the duck farm. , Su Yu went up the mountain early in the morning. She heard that the wild grapes in the mountain were beginning to ripen now. She planned to go have a look and pick some to make wine.
All the dogs and servants in Su Yu's family who went up the mountain were gone. Only Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Deng and the people from the old house were left at home.
Yesterday, Su Laoer told them that Bai Sheng was coming back today, but both of them forgot about it. After Bai Sheng asked Wu, he went to Su Yan's house first.
"Brother, are you seriously injured? In fact, I wanted to come back to see you early in the morning, but I didn't come back because Yu'er wouldn't let me."
At this time, Su Yan's hands and feet were wrapped in a circle of white cloth, and he was walking around flexibly on the ground in front of Bai Sheng.
"Do you think I'm okay?"
"What are you doing?"
"Isn't this just for the old man? I'm too lazy to deal with them. This saves trouble."
Bai Sheng didn't react for a while. Is it really okay for the eldest brother to do this?
In fact, apart from Bai Sheng's confrontation with Su Yu in the early years, he is actually a relatively simple person, and he does not have so many twists and turns in his heart. When he was in Laozhai before, even if he didn't like Laozhai, he just Thinking about it in his heart, he didn't make any substantial resistance. He and Su Lao Er can be said to have the same temperament.
Su Yan naturally saw what Bai Sheng was thinking.
"You don't need to worry about things at home. You just need to study hard and be patient for the time being. They won't be able to live at home for long anyway."
Bai Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what Su Yan said. He thought maybe his grandma would return to his hometown after living here for a while, but he didn't think much about it.
"I just want to remind you that they want to get Su Chen to go to the Imperial College. You must not agree to it casually. He still wants to go to the Imperial College at his level. He is so beautiful."
"I see."
"You go see grandma first. Dad and mom should be back soon."
Knowing that Bai Sheng would be back today, Su Laoer and Su Yu wouldn't be out for too long, and they should all be back later.
Bai Sheng obeyed, and knocked on the door of the West House when he left the house. He knew that his grandma lived in the West House.
Hearing the knock on the door, Mrs. Li got up and got off the bed and opened the door, and saw Bai Sheng standing at the door.
Bai Sheng has grown a lot since leaving his old house. Now wearing a long gown, he looks a little frail, but his scholarly temperament is something he didn't have before.
Old Mrs. Li was stunned. She had never seen this grandson with her eyes before, but she didn't expect that this grandson was not from the second family. She didn't care after knowing it. But now when she looked at Bai Sheng, she remembered that the dark-skinned grandson at home before. The skinny boy couldn't relate at all.
"Is Brother Sheng here? Let him come in."
Old Man Su's voice came from the room,
Mrs. Li turned around and walked inside, with Bai Sheng following behind.
First, he put the gifts he was carrying on the table, and then he saluted the second elder.
"Father, milk."
"You are no longer a child of the Su family, but don't forget that you were raised by the Su family from childhood to adulthood. As the saying goes, it is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness. You must not forget your roots."
"I will definitely keep your words in mind."
Reading is the most irritating thing to a person's temperament, and the same is true for Bai Sheng. In the past few years of studying, his temperament has become much calmer. Unlike those years when anger would show on his face when he heard unpleasant words, it doesn't show up on his face now.
When he was at the old house, Bai Sheng was just like Su Lao Er, who couldn't hit a fart with three sticks. Now seeing him look like this and speak clearly and clearly, it made the second Lao Er a little uncomfortable.
"I heard that you are currently studying in the Imperial College. I wonder how your studies are going. Can you keep up?"
"It's not bad. The teachers at the Imperial College are kind to me, and I can keep up with what I'm learning."
"This time your eldest brother also came to Kyoto City with us. He plans to go to the Imperial College to study. Why don't you go and talk to the Master."
When Mrs. Li saw Bai Sheng, although she knew that he might not be able to bring Su Chen to the Imperial College, she still didn't give up and couldn't help but mention it again.
"Nai, it's not that I don't want to. I'm just the last person in the Imperial College. The masters are nice to me only for Master Yu's sake. I rarely even see the masters except in class. I'm afraid I won't be able to help. Big brother’s business.”
He had been reminded when he went to see his eldest brother just now, but even if his eldest brother didn't remind him, he couldn't do anything. The Imperial College is actually quite complicated. If it weren't for his family's relationship with sending braised pork to Imperial College, he wouldn't be there. It went so smoothly.
"What a useless thing!"
Old Mrs. Li cursed secretly, and Su Sheng just stood aside and listened quietly without saying a word to refute. She had scolded him a lot before, so she didn't care about this one sentence.
"Okay, there's nothing Yu Zheng can do. It's useless for you to embarrass Brother Sheng here. Let's just forget about it in advance."
After speaking, Old Man Su said to Bai Sheng: "Go and see your elder brother in the back. If you don't understand anything academically, you can ask your elder brother. He has studied a few more years than you."
"Yes, I'm going to the backyard to see my brother."
After Bai Sheng came out of the west room, he went to the backyard. After asking Su Chen which room he was in, he knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
Su Chen was reading a book in the room and was engrossed in it. When he heard the knock on the door, he didn't think much about it.
"Come in."
Bai Sheng pushed the door open.
Realizing that the person coming was not his mother, nor a servant of the family, Su Chen raised his head from the book and looked at the door, and saw Bai Sheng walking in from the door against the light.
Su Chen was in a daze for a moment. He hadn't seen his cousin for several years, but he didn't expect that the cousin he looked down on before would now look like this. He couldn't believe it.
"Brother Sheng?"
"Brother, it's me."
In his hometown, Su Chen ranked highest, followed by Bai Sheng, then Su Shen, and then Su Jie.
"Meng'er brought a letter back earlier saying that you were studying in the Imperial College. I couldn't believe it. Only after I came here did I know that you were indeed studying in the Imperial College."
Su Chen's tone was a bit emotional. Who would have thought that Su Sheng would also have this day.
"Brother, you have always done well in your studies. It was only by luck that I entered the Imperial College."
Bai Sheng actually hoped in his heart that he had not come to the Imperial Academy last year, so that his family would not come over. Then he would still be a child of the Su family. Although this was unfair to the eldest brother, he could not help but think so sometimes.
