"It's hard to be my servant." Lin Su threatened.
"I am not afraid of hardship." Qingxi looked at him eagerly, and even changed his address.
"That's good." Lin Su was somewhat satisfied. "Since you have become my servant, you only need to listen to me from now on. You don't have to pay attention to or care about what others say."
"Yes." Qingxi listened to him carefully and responded obediently, with hope in her eyes. She was much more likable than her previous fear and trepidation.
Qingxi chose the second path, but he didn't have to bring himself into the Lin Mansion to be seen by others and bring himself into trouble for no reason.
Lin Su pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you have a real name before you entered that place?"
Since the name was Qing in the Guanguan generation, it must have been changed by someone later. Qingxi was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "My original name was Qing Tang, and I had no surname."
He didn't want to go back to that home. There was no one there that he cared about, and he didn't even want that surname anymore.
"It's a nice name. Who came up with it?" Lin Su asked again.
Qingxi felt that his attitude was not aggressive, and he offered him such a way out. He was also a scholar, so he already felt a sense of dependence and admiration. "It was the teacher who gave me the name. I also went to a private school before entering there, but later my family suffered a disaster..."
Even if a disaster struck, the family could still make ends meet. However, the brothers could not go to school. In order to allow the eldest brother to study, and because he was the best born, they sold him.
Filial piety and kindness come first. Even if his parents are bad, he cannot say anything behind their backs. But he really doesn't want to have anything to do with that family anymore.
"Then take my last name. My last name is Lin, my given name is Su, and my courtesy name is Zhiyuan. You can call me whatever you want." Lin Su smiled and stood up. "You can live here for the next few days, learn to read and write, and take care of this place."
Qingxi kowtowed to him, and the sound of "dong" showed that he had kowtowed firmly: "Yes, Master Su, from now on Qingxi will be called Lin Qingtang. Thank you for the surname."
"Lin Qingtang..." Lin Su didn't realize it at first, but now he thought about it and found the clue.
"I'm here." Qing Tang agreed loudly.
It was just a name, so it didn't matter. Lin Su opened the door and said, "You can rest here today. There's money on the table. Can you cook dinner?"
"I will do it," Qing Tang got up from the bed and looked at his clothes with some embarrassment, "Master Su, my clothes..."
He can go out on the street, but he can't just go out wearing this.
"It's in the closet. I just bought it today. The rice, flour, fruits and vegetables are all in the kitchen. You can cook it yourself." After saying that, Lin Su opened the door and went out.
"Master Su is traveling at night, please slow down." Qing Tang shouted from inside the house.
He tried hard to be a good servant, but it was too late to find clothes. By the time he put on his clothes and came out, Lin Su had already left.
Not many people in Qinghe Prefecture knew Lin Su, but there were always people he knew. Lin Su went to do something first, but he had to go home.
Lin's father's official position was not high, and the mansion he lived in was not big. When Lin Su entered the house, the doorman shouted, and the whole courtyard heard it.
"Master, the eldest young master is back!"
A maid came out from the main room, lifted the door curtain and said, "Master Su is back. Why are you back so late? If you miss the time, you won't be able to come in."
The night was quite dark, but according to Lin Su's estimation, it was just around eight o'clock. Although people in this era went to bed early and got up early, they would not lock the door at this time.
Lin Su smiled and said, "If you can't get in, just stand guard at the gate all night."
I guarantee that the news of the stepmother's harsh treatment of her legitimate son will spread throughout Qinghe Prefecture the next day.
The old woman paused and said, "Master Su, you're joking. If you come back, I'll open the door for you no matter how late it is."
"Who the hell are you? Are you worthy enough to joke with me?" Lin Su sneered.
Although he had lived a good life in this mansion, he had suffered a lot of soft-hearted attacks because his biological mother died early. He was not afraid of real attacks, but the soft-hearted attacks were the most torturous. He felt depressed but could not express it, and could not talk to these servants for fear of damaging the dignity of a scholar.
But Lin Su did not have such concerns. Given his status, the etiquette of a scholar was not even worthy of a plaque in his eyes, so of course he could do whatever he wanted.
Since he has chosen to be an official, he will inevitably have to endure a lot of anger from his superiors or the emperor in the future. That is the way of being an official. You should endure it when you need to, but there is no need to endure the anger of a servant.
The old woman's face turned ashen, but she said hesitantly, "I dare not."
"Come in, what are you waiting for?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the room. Lin Su ignored the servants and went straight into the room to pay his respects. "Father, Mother, I have just returned from the imperial examination. I have been exhausted from the journey and am glad to see you both. I am so happy to see you both in good health. I am so tired now."
The middle-aged man, dressed in casual clothes and sporting a beautiful bun, looked quite refined and elegant. However, upon hearing Lin Su's words, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed the subject: "Where did you learn to be so smooth-talking?"
"If you are worried about your parents' health, you are just being slick and talking nonsense. It really makes it impossible for filial sons in the world to do anything." Lin Su looked like a filial son, making it difficult for Lin Zhu to scold him.
This kid has always been timid and can't say a word. I didn't expect him to be able to speak after going to the capital. "Let's not talk about this for now. Where did you go when you entered the city today?"
As soon as he asked Lin Su this, he knew what he knew, but how much he knew was another matter. Lin Su said respectfully, "Reporting to father, Zhiyuan has gone to buy a servant."
"Zhiyuan, are you not satisfied with your current servant?" asked the beautiful woman at the side. She was quite beautiful, her age was not obvious at all, and her words were gentle. "If you are not satisfied, just ask your father to choose a better one for you. Why go to a place like that to choose a servant yourself? If you don't know, you might think that Zhiyuan has chosen someone you like."
Lin Su said respectfully, "Mother, you don't know that all the servants in my room are illiterate. The only one who knows my name stayed in the capital to help with the list. It really doesn't help him study. Zhiyuan was afraid that others would say that his father did this on purpose, so he secretly chose someone he liked. He can avoid those people's gossips, saying that if you have a stepmother, you also have a stepfather. It's really unpleasant to hear. It makes me want to throw away my scholarly manners and fight them."
He also knows how to use a soft knife to sharpen people.
The beautiful woman's face froze.
