Chapter 14: Monster
When Lin Ruhai wanted to persuade him again, his wife squeezed his hand tightly, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Lin Yun thought for a while and then said: "Uncle, do you have to go to Kyoto?"
Jia Min nodded slightly, meaning he must go.
Lin Yun: "Let's do this. My aunt will wait for another half month. After half a month, I will go with you."
"It's definitely not enough for half a month. I have to be on the road in six or seven days at most."
"Ten days, no more."
"Seven days, not one day more."
Lin Yunzhen was stumped by Jia Min's stubbornness. He turned to look at Lin Ruhai, hoping that he could offer some words of persuasion.
Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head at him with a bitter look on his face. It was obvious that this was a strict wife who could not control his strong wife.
Lin Yun said helplessly: "Let's do this. My aunt will rest peacefully these days. After seven days, we will decide whether to leave based on your physical recovery. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After a pause, Jia Min said again: "Brother Yun, when you go to Kyoto, your aunt can help you open a spice shop there."
Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I just hope that my aunt will be safe and sound. For the rest, I'll wait until your body recovers."
"Okay, then you go back and prepare first."
"OK."
Lin Yun responded, then stood up and left.
…
When he walked out of the bedroom, he secretly wondered in his heart what happened to make Jia Min take the risk to go to Kyoto regardless of her life safety.
Lin Yun was lowering his head and thinking about something when he suddenly heard a girl's soft voice coming from his ear, "I would like to send my regards to my young nephew."
Looking up, he saw a little maid wearing a goose-yellow silk jacket standing in front of him, bowing to him.
The little girl raised her head and revealed a familiar pretty face. It turned out to be Yang Yuan's sister, the cherry girl who had been misdiagnosed.
"Miss Cherry, it's you. By the way, are you feeling better?"
The little girl smiled shyly and said, "My slave's health is much better. Thank you for your concern, my nephew."
At this time, Pomegranate walked over from the side and said concernedly to the little girl: "Cherry, didn't my wife let you keep it in the house? Why did you run out?"
Cherry: "Sister Pomegranate, I'm here to kowtow to my wife and thank her for worrying about me even when she was ill."
Shiliu pursed her lips and smiled: "If you want to thank me, just thank your nephew. He was the one who mentioned you in front of my wife."
Cherry glanced at Lin Yun shyly, then lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, young nephew."
Lin Yun: "I just mentioned it casually in front of my aunt, it's nothing."
Pomegranate: "Cherry, the wife is talking to the master inside. You can send the young nephew out first, and kowtow to the wife later."
Cherry heard this and said happily: "Okay."
Lin Yun wanted to refuse, but when he saw the happy expression on the little girl's face, he swallowed his refusal.
…
After saying goodbye to Shiliu, Lin Yun walked toward the courtyard gate accompanied by Yingtao.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yingtao reached out and took out a goose-yellow tube from her arms, handed it to Lin Yun, and said in a voice like a gnat: "My nephew, do you like this tube?"
"Is this your new one?"
The little girl responded softly: "Yes."
Lin Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the Luozi and said: "I like this Luozi very much, but you haven't recovered yet, so it's not a good idea to do this."
When Cherry saw him accepting the bag, she immediately said happily: "It's very easy to make this thing. If my nephew likes it, I can make it for you later."
Lin Yun was about to say a few words of persuasion when he heard Lin Ruhai calling from behind him: "Brother Yun, come here, I have something to say to you."
When Cherry saw the master coming, she quickly saluted Lin Yun, turned around and ran back.
…
After Yingtao left, Lin Ruhai said eagerly to Lin Yun: "Brother Yun, you must think of a perfect plan for your aunt and Yu'er to go to Kyoto."
"Sister Yu'er is going too?"
Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Your aunt wants to take Yu'er to show the old lady."
"Uncle, is this trip necessary?"
Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and then said: "There is a very important matter that requires your aunt to discuss with the old lady face to face."
"I understand, uncle, don't worry, my nephew will take good care of his aunt and sister Yu'er."
Lin Ruhai smiled with satisfaction and said: "I will let the old miracle doctor and Aunt Liu go with you. They are both trustworthy people. Plus you are taking care of me, so I can feel at ease."
After a pause, Lin Ruhai said again: "I'll write a few letters later and ask you to take them to Kyoto. There are a few acquaintances there. You can visit them in your spare time and ask them for advice."
Lin Yun secretly complained in his heart, he has already gone to Kyoto, why do he still need to study?
After the two chatted for a few more words, they walked near Lin Yun's residence.
Lin Ruhai: "Brother Yun, I have to go to discuss with the old miracle doctor, so I won't go in. You go back and read more, don't delay your studies."
"My nephew understands."
"Then I'll leave first."
Lin Ruhai raised her hand and patted Lin Yun's shoulder, turned around and left.
Lin Yun suddenly stopped him and said, "Uncle."
Lin Ruhai turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else?"
Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Uncle, it is not easy to be the official of the Lianghuai Salt Patrol Censor. It is better for you to find a way out as soon as possible."
Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a dark face: "How could you have such an idea of protecting yourself at such a young age?"
Lin Yun bravely reminded: "Even if my uncle doesn't think about himself, he should think about his aunt and sister Yu'er, what if~"
"Shut up, don't mention this matter again. Go back and study hard, and then write a few articles with your heart. I will come over to check when I have free time."
Lin Ruhai scolded Lin Yun for a few words, then turned around and left quickly.
"True advice is off-putting."
Lin Yun muttered helplessly, turned around and walked towards his residence.
…
Here, after Lin Ruhai walked out a few steps, he looked back at Lin Yun's back. He was really shocked by what the other party said just now.
He felt that he had overestimated this little guy Lin Yun a lot. Who knew that he was much smarter than he thought? How did he see the crisis and dilemma he was facing?
"What a monster!"
…
Returning to his residence, Lin Yun immediately called his two followers and Yang Yuan over and told the three of them about his upcoming trip to Kyoto.
He originally thought that the three of them would have opinions, but when Xiao Mo heard that he was going to Kyoto, he immediately became overjoyed and didn't even mention the perfume sale.
Zhong Yi didn't care even more. He was Lin Yun's bodyguard. He would follow the third master unconditionally wherever he went, never asking why.
Yang Yuan was also willing to follow Lin Yun, not to mention that his sister was his wife's personal maid, so she would probably go to Kyoto with her.
Lin Yun: "It's important to go to Kyoto, but someone must stay here to be responsible for planting and purchasing materials for making perfume."
Xiao Mo said hurriedly: "Brother Yang understands the situation here, let him stay and take charge."
Yang Yuan heard this and said anxiously: "How can this be done? I don't know anything about growing flowers and grass. If you ask me to be responsible, I'm afraid I will miss my nephew's important event."
Xiao Mo: "What's so difficult about this? If you don't understand it yourself, just find someone who understands to help you."
Yang Yuan: "It's okay for a villain to help run errands, but I have no experience in being a steward."
Lin Yun: "Xiao Mo, you stay here to help Yang Yuan. I will send someone back to Suzhou to deliver the letter and transfer your brother to be in charge."
Xiao Mo became anxious when he heard this. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Third Master, I have to follow you wherever you go. This is the old master's arrangement."
After a pause, he said to Zhong Yi: "It's better to let Brother Zhong stay."
Zhong Yi asked expressionlessly: "I can stay, but can you protect the young master?"
"Uh~"
When Xiao Mo heard this, he was speechless.
Zhong Yi then said to Lin Yun: "Master, Xiao Mo is too young and unreliable. In my opinion, it is better to transfer his brother over as soon as possible to take charge of the affairs here."
Xiao Mo nodded quickly and said: "Brother Zhong is right, you should ask my brother to come over."
Xiao Mo's elder brother is Lin Xiang, and together with his father Lin Hu, they are both masters of the Lin family spice workshop. They are also talents carefully cultivated by Lin Yun, who stay in Suzhou and are responsible for perfume production.
Lin Yun thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay. Xiao Mo, you will take my letter and ride back to Suzhou later on a fast horse to pick up your brother."
Xiao Mo said with a bitter face: "Third Master, can you let Brother Zhong go?"
Lin Yun said with a dark face: "If you are afraid of the cold, then stay in Yangzhou and don't go to Kyoto."
"Third Master, don't be angry, I will go back to Suzhou today."
Lin Yun then wrote a letter and asked Xiao Mo to follow Yang Yuan to find the old housekeeper to ask for horses and rush back to Suzhou City to report the letter.
