Chapter 336: Opening the letter with joy

~12 min read 2,310 words

"Master Lin! We followed the address given by Master Lin and delivered the letters to the Lin family in Shu Village and the Wang family in Heng Village. These are the reply letters written to Master Lin!" said the middle-aged man who was dressed relatively richly. He respectfully handed two letters to Lin Jue, and then turned around, taking out a few things from his companion's hand, "Not anything valuable, just some brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from our hometown, and a few bags of tea."

Besides this middle-aged man, there was a group of teenagers, all standing on the street behind him, looking at Lin Jue without saying a word, their eyes filled with both fear and curiosity, as well as some intimacy and respect.

The intimacy should be because he and they were all from Huizhou.

This year is like this—

After leaving a village, the villagers became intimate. After leaving a county, the county people also became intimate. When they reached the capital, such a big place, as long as they were fellow countrymen, they were naturally closer. If it were in the officialdom, this could already be the basis for attachment or promotion.

As for respect...

Lin Jue could only guess that this middle-aged man must have boasted about him in front of these teenagers.

He stretched out both hands to take the letter paper and gifts.

"I advise you to be happy."

In one, look at it`'

"Thank you, Master Yan."

"What is this?"

"Master Yan shouldn't have embellished it, right?"

The tone in the letter was not fixed, but changed back and forth, allowing Lin Jue to imagine a person sitting at a table writing with a pen, with his uncle and aunt standing behind that person, one saying a word and the other saying a sentence. Occasionally, there were black spots in the letter that were wiped out, which were longer than typos, making Lin Jue imagine the argument between his uncle and aunt, one saying that this should be said, and the other feeling it shouldn't.

Although it was written like this, his uncle wouldn't write, and his cousin wrote very poorly. It was clear that his uncle had asked someone to write it for him.

The laughter lasted for a long time. I don't know if it was happy, but halfway through the laughter, it held its belly with two small claws, trembling and rolling.

Just the demons and ghosts encountered personally on the road could be called a strange thing in the hearts of teenagers who went out for the first time. As for a master who could scare demons and ghosts into returning the things they stole respectfully and intact just by relying on his name, the white fox raised in the courtyard, and the tea that made the whole body warm and comfortable after drinking a cup, all seemed like immortal stories in the mouths of the old people in the village.

"Hard to compare."

"It's very precious." "Is it more precious than that swallow egg?"

Feeling comfortable and happy, there was an unspeakable joy, which should be the happiest time in his life.

The teenagers beside him also had red faces, looking at each other secretly, unable to hide their surprise.

"Ying!"

"How can an immortal have relatives?"

The Wang family in Heng Village was good at doing business. With her help, his cousin also did a little business, but the world was not peaceful last year, and his luck was not good, so he neither made nor lost money.

The fox followed him closely with small steps, easily perceiving the joy in his heart at this time, so it kept glancing at what was in his hand, wanting to know what this thing that made people happy was.

"Huizhou is still considered peaceful. In the past, the most peaceful places in the world were Qinzhou and Huizhou. Nowadays, Qinzhou is not so peaceful, but Huizhou has become the most peaceful place." The Huizhou merchant answered respectfully, but when he said this, he paused, looked at the teenagers around him, and lowered his voice, "It's just that there are rumors that the Huizhou magistrate is colluding with the descendants of the King of Yue and is recruiting troops and buying horses."

Looking at the letter sent by the old Mr. Wang of Heng Village again, although there was no emotion like a family letter, it was like a short chat with an old friend, which made people feel comfortable.

"What?"

It was not that the merchant surnamed Yan was the Shu family disciple in the village.

"Of course I remember." Lin Jue said, "Coming from afar, it's really hard work. Please come in and have a cup of tea."

"Old Mr. Wang is old, but he has done many good things in his life. Now is the time to enjoy the blessings. There are no worries, his descendants are very filial, so his complexion is also good. When the little one sent the letter, he grabbed the little one and asked a lot about Master Lin."

It was not only the recipient who was happy, but also the sender.

Lin Jue sat by the table and opened the letter paper.

"The Master actually remembers the little one's surname!" The merchant couldn't help but show surprise and emotion.

"The intention is enough! Ordinary ancestor worship and god worship, the fried fish and pork offered, can it be that the immortal is short of that piece of fat meat? Not to mention this is the tea from hometown."

It was just that today it was their turn to enter the story.

He had gained fame in the capital, and he had also married and had children.

The middle-aged rich merchant sighed.

"Don't dare, don't dare! The little one's dust has not been washed away, don't dare to dirty the mansion of Master Lin and Master Fan Tian! Not to mention that the Master has already been kind to the little one, delivering letters for the Master is the little one's honor. After delivering the letters to the Wang family and the Master's uncle's house, they were both entertained by them, how dare I enter the door?"

"Hmm..."

"Please come in."

Lin Jue's expression paused, and he suddenly turned his head.

"Is it fun?"

"Like the last one?"

"My cousin is married..."

"Married a woman from the Wang family in Heng Village." The Huizhou merchant saw his emotion and answered in a low voice.

The Lin family was on the edge of Shu Village, and there was no one behind them. The Shu family took the initiative to give them land so that they could build two new houses behind.

At least it looked happy.

"..."

Fuyao was stunned for a moment, the whole fox immediately fell backward, its belly facing the sky, lying on the stone table trembling, making a baby-like laughter from its mouth, hard to distinguish whether it was a human or a fox.

... "Ah~~"

"Seeing Master Lin, are you satisfied now? And you were invited by Master Lin to have a meal. How many dignitaries in the capital have this honor? It's enough to brag about when you go out in the future." The Huizhou merchant surnamed Yan smiled at the teenagers beside him while walking back to his residence.

"Is it fun? This thing!"

"Who said immortals have no relatives? Before immortals become immortals, they are all in the world, they are all mortals. Grandpa Tianweng has descendants!" The Huizhou merchant said, paused, and looked around, "Not to mention that this year is getting less and less peaceful, demons and ghosts are getting more and more numerous. In my opinion, immortals like Master Lin must be true immortals reincarnated to the mortal world, specifically to subdue demons and eliminate demons."

"Help me light the lamp!"

Because of these details, this letter became vivid.

Lin Jue had obtained the Great Yin-Yang Law some time ago, so his mood had always been very good. Yesterday he obtained the Yanluan Incense, which was also a happy thing. Today he received a letter from home, which was undoubtedly a happy thing, which could be called double happiness.

How could it not be tiring to travel thousands of miles? It was just that when he arrived at the mansion of the Master in his heart, the excitement naturally suppressed the fatigue. After drinking a cup of clear tea, for some reason, a warm current rose in his body, and his heavy legs and feet suddenly became light, and his fingers and toes, which were already a little cold and stiff, suddenly became warm, restoring their dexterity, making people want to sigh comfortably.

"Oh..."

"Woo..."

Not to mention that Lin Jue could see that the rich merchant's refusal was just a polite excuse.

This spring, his cousin had a big fat boy.

After thinking about it, he felt stupid. How could he not be surprised by such a big event? But how could such a big event in the world be hidden from an immortal figure like Master Lin?

Then he returned to the courtyard.

As if there was a feeling in the dark.

"Looking very good, both of them have good complexions. When the little one went, they were still building new houses. Master Lin's cousin in the secular world also added a big fat boy." The Huizhou merchant said, "When the little one left, they also asked the little one to bring words to Master Lin, saying that if Master Lin asked about things at home, let the little one say it better."

Then he hurriedly answered:

"So powerful?"

"Yes."

"How is my uncle and aunt?" Lin Jue asked the Huizhou merchant surnamed Yan with concern.

So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.

After being happy, he started chasing Lin Jue and biting.

"How about old Mr. Wang of Heng Village?"

Therefore, Lin Jue invited them into the house. In this cold winter, he boiled a pot of hot tea for them and took two drops of spiritual liquid from Luo Gong's bottle to relieve their fatigue and cold.

The old Mr. Wang of the Wang family, who was highly respected, personally named him Lin Ping, meaning peace and smoothness.

The Huizhou merchant was a little surprised. Lin Zhenren didn't feel surprised at all about such a big event, and didn't ask a single word.

"Hmm? Ahahaha..."

"The immortal's tea is so delicious, then why do we send tea to the immortal?"

"My nephew Lin Jue..."

"Naturally not! How dare the little one?"

The first one he opened was the letter from his uncle.

Lin Jue sighed from time to time, and sometimes showed a smile.

Lin Jue knew that these things were probably in the letter, so he didn't ask much, but asked instead: "How is Huizhou now?"

"Wow..."

"Satisfied, satisfied! Thank you, Second Uncle!" The teenagers were very happy, "But what tea is the tea given by the immortal? Why does it feel so comfortable after drinking it?"

He put the gifts given by the Huizhou merchant on the table, but he couldn't bear to part with these two letters and had always carried them with him. At this time, he took them out, and they had already been warmed.

Lin Jue chatted with him for a long time until the sky outside became darker and darker, and then invited them to have a meal in a restaurant on the street outside, and then politely sent them away.

Lin Jue immediately showed emotion, and what he thought of was the teenager who carried a basket and bamboo shoots and went to the temple fair in the city with him.

"Letter!"

Only the lamp shadow under the tree, the round stone table, a white fox about the size of a cat sitting on the table, sometimes poking its head to look at the letter in his hand, sometimes curiously staring at him, like a child who saw an adult get something good—if the joy in his heart could be seen and touched, it would have been unable to help but reach out its claws to dig.

"What tea can the tea given by the immortal be? Of course, it's immortal tea! This year is not peaceful, don't talk about it outside!" The Huizhou merchant surnamed Yan said, "I tell you, maybe drinking a cup of tea can make you live a few more years!"

Delivering letters is a hard job. In the years when mountains and roads are far away, family letters are really worth ten thousand gold. Others traveled thousands of miles to deliver letters. It is not the etiquette of this year not to invite them into the door for hospitality and thanks.

His cousin married a wife, a woman from the Wang family in Heng Village, who was very good at managing family affairs.

Under the tree in the courtyard, a lotus lamp lit up on the stone table.

The letter said that his uncle's body had been raised, saying it was the same as before. I don't know if it was true or false. His uncle couldn't stay idle and couldn't quit the work he had done for a lifetime. He still had to manage his own fields. And the silver he asked someone to bring back had been received, saying that the family was not short of money, and asked Lin Jue not to ask someone to bring money back again.

The teenagers were surprised and sighed.

This kind of thing will probably be remembered for a lifetime.

And I don't know how many years it can be passed down.

But who would have thought that the Master was being chased and bitten by the fox he raised at this time.
