This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

Hu Ya became familiar with the Su family.

Hearing the invitation, he climbed down the tree without saying a word and planned to enter through the back door to watch the fun.

When he arrived, the door to the back room was already open. He didn't go in directly. Even if no one taught him, he knew that entering uninvited was a thief.

Hu Ya, who was standing by the door, was about to raise his voice to call someone when he heard the sound of reading aloud.

In a room next to the back room, he knew that Brother Su Lin's father was a scholar, but his voice sounded childish and did not sound like an adult.

Curiously, I looked around and saw a young man in rich clothes standing by the window.

He was facing the window and couldn't see his whole face clearly.

Hu Ya frowned. This was a stranger he had never seen before, but always felt familiar to him.

"Come in." Su Lin greeted him and pointed to a path: "Go this way and you can go directly to the front hall."

What are you doing in the front office?

The best place to eat melon! If it weren't for the fact that there was a young master to entertain in the back room, he would not have left.

Hu Ya did not move forward. Suddenly he was not interested in what happened in front of him. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Su Lin, are they studying?"

The voice was very low, as if he was afraid that his loud voice would disturb the people in the room.

"They were discussing poetry." Su Lin said.

Reciting is easy, but he really doesn't know how to compose poems and lyrics. During this period, he just whipped Su Jianyi to read and recite.

He couldn't judge how good Su Jianyi's poetry was, but after Cao Xi went in, he never came out again. There was some admiration in his childish tone, which was obviously good.

He never imagined that Su Jianyi could give him such a big surprise.

"It's amazing." Hu Ya couldn't understand, but he just felt it was amazing. He stood on tiptoes to see the people in the room clearly, but unexpectedly, the young man standing by the window looked towards him.

The moment the two looked at each other, Hu Ya hid behind Su Lin without even thinking.

But as soon as he hid, he regretted it and quietly poked his head out to take a look. Unfortunately, the handsome man by the window had already turned his head.

"Want to go in and listen?" Su Lin asked.

Hu Ya thought for a while and finally shook his head.

He wanted to go in, but he was afraid of disturbing the people in the room, and he was also afraid that the handsome man would ask him if he understood, so he didn't know how to answer.

Hu Ya asked in a low voice: "Who is he?"

"Cao Xi." Su Lin said, "He came from the capital and is doing business in the mansion."

"Cao Xi?" Hu Ya repeated the two words, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. When he wanted to ask something else, a person walked in front of him. He did not go to the study but stood outside and shouted, " Mr. Cao, it’s time to leave.”

As he said that, he looked around with disgust.

He glared directly at the boy who was looking at him.

The voices in the room stopped, and after a while Cao Xi came out. He stood at the door with his hands clasped in his fists: "I really enjoyed myself this time. If it's convenient for Uncle Su, I'll come visit you again in a few days."

"Of course you're welcome." Su Jianyi narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I'm telling you, I have a nephew who is good at studying. I will bring him over when I am down, and the three of us will learn from each other."

Su Jianyi is really happy!

In the past, this kind of competition would only lead to being crushed, but I didn't expect that there would be a time when they were evenly matched.

This is a young master from the capital. Not only did he not lose, he even tied with the opponent. Doesn't that mean he is great?

Of course, he subconsciously ignored that the young master was about the same age as his son.

As the saying goes, heroes don't care about their origins, and naturally they don't care about their age.

Start looking forward to it.

Maybe his talent is not in texts, but in poetry?

When we spar next time, he might be able to push Brother Ting to the ground and crush him!

Cao Xi agreed with a smile.

This is not a casual talk. After Zhu Si's matter is confirmed, he will definitely find time to come.

He wasn't sure whether the person in front of him would win the prize, but he was chatting really freely. Unlike other people, he didn't treat him like a child, nor was he completely flattering.

This alone was enough for him to spend some time making friends.

At this moment, the boy next to him said impatiently: "Mr. Cao, it's time for us to leave."

Cao Xi had some displeasure in his eyes.

No matter how depressed he was, he would never be treated like this by an ordinary servant in the Hou Mansion. Just when he was about to speak, he saw something hit the boy on the head.

"Ouch, who! Who is so bold to hit me? Are you trying to kill me?!" The boy bared his teeth in pain and looked for the murderer viciously.

Cao Xi looked at him coldly, "It turns out that the servants of the Hou Mansion are so powerful and can kill people at will."

The boy didn't dare to respond to this. He said casually and went to the front hall.

Cao Xi looked at the place where the boy was standing before. There was a red bayberry on the ground.

Apparently someone hit someone with a bayberry.

He turned his head, looked at the boy hiding behind Su Lin, chuckled and nodded to him.

The boy didn't react at all, just stared at him blankly.

Cao Xi only thought that he was a child of this family, said a few words to the Su family's father and son, and then went to the front hall.

As soon as the person left, Su Jianyi relaxed his straight back and looked lazy, "I'm exhausted. I just stood like this for a while, and my back started to feel sore. No, no, no, I have to lie down for a while."

"Dad, the three of us will be competing together soon. My cousin won't just compare poems with you." Su Lin reminded.

"..." Su Jianyi was stunned.

I hate myself so much for why I want to drag Ting Geer along. It would be great if he and the young master compare poems.

Then continue to lie down?

Of course, lie down!

Who says you can't read while lying down? He still looked at it.

After they returned to the room, Su Lin was about to clean up the desk. When he turned around, he saw Hu Ya who was still in a daze. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Hu Ya came back to his senses, with astonishment in his eyes.

He had seen the smile of the young man in fancy clothes just now...

Without bothering to respond to Brother Su Lin, Hu Ya turned around and ran, not chasing the young man in fancy clothes, but running to Brother Bo Ting's house.

Jia had to go to the government office with him, and some family members must go with him. Even if they couldn't go inside the government office, they had to wait outside to feel at ease.

Old Master Su thought about it and finally felt that he had to go by himself.

None of the three sons could be relied on. There were one or two promising grandsons, but they were still too young. No one except him was suitable to go with him.

However, he was not alone, but invited Village Chief Su to go with him. Of course, he had to show up for such an important matter.

Constable Liang and his companions came on horseback and pulled a carriage. Old Master Su and his companions could not catch up with them on foot. When they arrived outside the government office, they only saw the carriage parked there, and no one was there.

"I should have brought a kettle. I'm a little thirsty all the way." Village Chief Su's throat was a little hoarse. After all, he was old. He was so tired from walking all the way to the government office that he couldn't even breathe.

Old Master Su was the same.

He looked at the tea shop next to him, so he took Village Chief Su to buy a pot of tea and sat down.

"Look at you, why are you spending this money?" Village Chief Su said, but he kept drinking tea. He drank two cups of tea before his throat felt better.

"I don't know how long we have to wait. We can't just stand at the gate of the government office and wait for someone."

If it were in the past, Old Master Su would never buy a pot of tea for three cents.

Three cents doesn't seem like much, but at that time they worked so hard to work in the town, and at most they only made a dozen cents a day.

But now it's different. After all, he has more confidence with money in his pocket.

Village Chief Su also saw this, so he didn't say politely to him, "It seems that your family has made a lot of money during this period. In the past, you, who are stingy, would never spend it."

Old Master Su smiled, "There is a hole in the family, and no amount of money can fill it, so we have to save money."

The so-called hole is naturally Su Jianyi.

Village Chief Su thought that if Su Jianyi was his son, he would never support him to take the imperial examination.

This person must have self-knowledge.

Su Jianyi... Forget it, they are all sons of old friends, so he won't slander him in his heart.

Fortunately, Su Jianyi is not ambitious, but he is lucky.

He picked up a daughter-in-law who can make money.

Thinking of this, Village Chief Su looked at the yamen and asked, "Do you think Zhu Si is the person they are looking for?"

"It has nothing to do with us." Mr. Su said.

Yes, they can get a reward, and that's it.

No, Zhu Si will not continue to stay at their home, and will definitely be sent to the Zhou family.

During this period, Zhu Si mentioned things about the Zhou family many times, which were completely different from what Yin Huan said.

Although the Zhou family adopted Zhu Si, they did love her as their own daughter.

No matter which one it is.

For Zhu Si, this is not a bad thing.

"How could it not matter much?" Village Chief Su rolled his eyes at him, "I heard that the person looking for someone is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. If Zhu Si is really the daughter of the Hou Mansion, then we..."

"Ouch, are you having some wild imagination? How dare you even think about returning the daughter of the Marquis Mansion." A voice cut in from the side, and the sinister tone made people want to punch someone.

Village Chief Su knew who the visitor was without even looking.

Isn't it his old enemy? He met him in front of the government office last time. He didn't expect to meet him again in front of the government office this time.

Village Chief Liu was not a polite person. He sat next to them directly. "If you pick out a little girl at random, she is the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. If you pick out a boy, wouldn't it be..."

"Shut up!" Village Chief Su interrupted him and growled, "You only know how to talk nonsense. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

Village Chief Liu touched his throat subconsciously. He almost said something he shouldn't have said because he was quick-witted.

He just wanted to make fun of the old man in front of him, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to the town after hearing the news, just to see the old man's joke.

He had thought of the words on the way here, waiting for the news to come out, and then he started to mock the other party.

It was just such a coincidence.

Not long after they sat down, the government office started to make a commotion.

The three old men didn't even drink their tea and hurried over.

Before they reached the gate of the government office, they heard several excited voices.

"Really! She is really my little mistress!"

"Hurry up and prepare, write a letter and send it to the capital immediately, hurry up, it must be delivered as quickly as possible!"

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and buy clothes, change all the clothes on the girl."

"Hurry up, hurry up, where are the maids? Hurry up and find a few maids to serve..."

One voice after another, all of them were the voices of Manager Wen shouting loudly.

His tone could no longer conceal his excitement, and he was even trembling with excitement.

Little mistress.

It's really a little mistress!

Manager Wen could imagine that once he sent the little mistress to the mansion, he would be rewarded with countless rewards, and he might even be promoted.

Cao Xi frowned, Manager Wen was too ostentatious, and it might not be a good thing to make a fuss about this matter.

He gave a few instructions to the servant beside him, trying to control the matter as much as possible. The Marquis' Mansion was powerful, but it did not mean that there were no external enemies. Once the enemy knew that the lost daughter of the Marquis' Mansion had been found, the road to her return would be difficult.

At the same time, he was somewhat envious.

His brother and Zhu Si were lost at about the same time. Zhu Si could be found, but what about his brother?

"Brother Su Lin!"

A voice came from outside the door of the back room, calling several times in a row.

Su Lin opened the door and saw that he was happy: "You ran away in a hurry before, why are you here again?"

Wasn't it Hu Ya who came? Hu Ya was holding a basket full of peaches in his hand, "Brother Su Lin, this is for you to eat, no money."

Su Lin raised his eyebrows, "Why are you giving gifts for no reason?"

"Of course I have something to ask for." Hu Ya said it in a roundabout way.

He has learned one thing now, that you have to give gifts when you ask someone to do something. Since he wants to ask Brother Su Lin for something, he has to bring gifts to his door.

At the same time, he also warned himself that it would be better not to ask for help in the future.

The gift he gave now was small because he had no ability and could only give these things.

Who knows if he will become rich in the future?

When he wants to ask for help, it will be just a basket of peaches, or even a heavy gift that he cannot afford.

Hu Ya made himself smile more beautifully, "Brother Su Lin, can you accept my gift?"

Su Lin was silent.

To be honest, he was a little scared by this smile, and always felt that he was a profiteer, "You have to tell me what it is first, what if I can't do it?"

"I want to ask about Mr. Cao." Hu Ya said hurriedly, with some anxiety in his eyes, "His family is in the capital, why did he come to our town? But what happened?"

Just now, Mr. Cao smiled at him, and he smiled.

The little brother who once ran towards him with a worried look on his face, wasn't he Mr. Cao who was a few years younger?

At that moment, he was scared.

He immediately ran to Brother Boting for advice. Brother Boting told him that if he didn't want to rush to recognize his relatives and was not sure whether the other party was the person he thought, he should find out clearly first.

Only after finding out clearly can he take action.

This way, he can ensure that there will be no mistakes and that he can be foolproof.

Especially what Yin Huan said before, if Mr. Cao is really his brother, then he must have had something wrong. It would be bad for both him and Mr. Cao if he rushed to recognize his relatives.

Hu Ya felt that Brother Boting was right, so he went to the peach forest and picked a basket of peaches to ask Brother Su Lin for help.

You have to do things after you get something.

This is the first principle Hu Ya learned.

So, he couldn't wait to stuff the basket into Brother Su Lin's hands. As for whether Brother Su Lin would refuse, he really hadn't thought about it.

If he really refused.

Then he would... try crying?

A child crying would make people sympathize with him, right? If he doesn't cry now, he won't be able to cry when he grows up. While he is still young, he should cry first.

Thinking of this, he winked.

But after squeezing for a long time, he just couldn't squeeze out tears.

Hu Ya was not a crying child. He cried before, but it didn't attract anyone's attention. Since then, he realized that crying was useless to him. It's better to be fierce, so that no one dares to snatch the food he begged.

However, Brother Su Lin is different from those people. He can feel the relationship between Brother Su Lin and him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't hide his family and collect his bayberries with Sister Bi Qiao, and he would be willing to spend more money to collect them.

Crying a little bit can help.

But... I can't cry at all.

Su Lin was puzzled, looking at his twitching eyes, and asked: "Does your eye hurt?"

Hu Ya sighed, "Brother, if I say I'm crying, will you believe it?"

"..." Su Lin was stunned for two seconds, and laughed out loud.

Hu Ya was dumbfounded, "I'm crying, brother, you're still smiling!"

"Silly boy." Su Lin smiled and rubbed his hair, "This shouldn't be difficult, I'll go ask around and give you news in two days."

Hu Ya thanked him profusely and put the basket at Su Lin's feet.

When he lowered his head, there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that he was quite good at pretending to be stupid, and he made Su Lin laugh, so he agreed to help him.

Hu Ya, who lowered his head, didn't notice that Su Lin was also smiling.

Didn't Su Lin see it?

Some things can be seen but pretended not to be seen.

Children of Hu Ya's age are working hard, why shouldn't he help?
