The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 159 Settling Su Xi"By the way, Allen, what happened to Su Xi? The person who sent him back before only said that he was the brother you recognized on the road..."
Su Lun sighed, his eyes became a little deep, "This is a long story. Brother, do you remember Uncle Lin?" Su Lun said slowly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
"How can you not remember? Su Xi looks very much like Uncle Lin. Have you met Uncle Lin? Su Xi is Uncle Lin's child? Yes, Su Xi speaks Chu language, so you went to Chu this time?" Su Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and a series of questions came out of his mouth.
Su Lun shook his head, with a helpless smile on his face: "I didn't see Uncle Lin. I met Su Xi by chance outside a restaurant. He was begging at the time. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him some money. Unexpectedly, this little guy pestered me and insisted on going with me. Later, after I gave him a bath, I found that he looked very similar to Uncle Lin. He had nowhere to go, so I took him home..."
Su Lun's voice gradually became low, as if he was immersed in memories. Su Zheng listened quietly, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.
"He's a poor child! Since we have this fate, let's raise him as our brother. However, he is now of school age and his language is not very fluent. Although you and I can speak Chu, we can't accompany him all day. How about asking a teacher who can speak Chu to come back and teach him, Allen, what do you think?"
"Brother, what you said makes sense." Su Zheng nodded in agreement, thought for a moment and then continued, "Then please trouble Uncle Su to invite the teacher tomorrow. By the way, if the servants in the mansion have children at home, they can also let them bring them over to study with Su Xi. Brother, do you think this is feasible?"
"Well, this is a good idea." Su Zheng nodded with a smile, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Su Lun with appreciation.
"Knock down."
"Sir, sir, the ginger soup is ready." Azhe's voice sounded outside the door.
"come in."
Su Hao came in carrying a tray.
"Sir, this is freshly brewed ginger soup. Please drink it while it's hot."
Seeing Su Lun was hesitant, Su Zheng hurriedly said, "Alan, you went to bed without drying your hair this afternoon. Drink some ginger soup to get rid of the coldness, so as not to catch a cold."
Su Lun has been healthy since he came to this world. Even if he was injured, he could recover quickly and his physical fitness was getting better and better. Facing the medicinal soup handed over by Su Hao, he couldn't bear to refuse it, so he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, Su Lun looked at Su Hao and said, "Uncle Su, thank you, you have worked hard!"
Then, he turned to look at Su Hao and continued, "You came at the right time. I was just discussing with my eldest brother about finding a teacher who can speak Chu language for Xiaoxi so that he can study well. If there are any families in the mansion who have children who are suitable for studying, they can send them here to study with Xiaoxi."
Hearing this, Su Hao showed an excited look on his face, and hurriedly thanked Su Lun: "This old servant would like to thank you on behalf of everyone, sir and sir, they must be very happy to know this good news.
"Su Lun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that you're welcome, and then added: "I'll have to trouble Uncle Su to hire a teacher. Xiaoxi's situation is rather special, so it would be best to hire a teacher who can speak Chu language."
Su Hao nodded repeatedly to show that he understood, then he took his leave to prepare for related matters, leaving Su Lun and Su Hao to continue chatting.
"By the way, brother, you just said that you were learning medical skills and identifying medicinal materials, but I don’t think I have seen a doctor. Could it be that you are self-taught?" Su Lun asked puzzledly.
Su Zheng smiled and explained, "After Mr. Yao cured my leg injury, he left a medicine boy in the mansion to take care of me for a few days. The medicine boy's name is Yao Han, and we hit it off right away. When Yao Han is free, he will come to guide me..."
"So that's how it is." Su Lun nodded in sudden realization.
"Brother is really amazing. He can do everything well." Su Lun showed an admiring look.
"He is not as young and promising as General Su." Su Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Su Lun was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his elder brother was teasing him, and he could not help but say helplessly: "Brother, stop teasing me. It's getting late, I'm going to go see Xiaoxi." After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave.
When he walked outside, Su Lun saw Su Xi sitting on a chair, his head nodding as if it would fall down at any moment. A Zhe, who was standing beside him, was watching him nervously, fearing that he might fall off the chair accidentally.
When Su Lun approached, Ah Zhe showed a look of relief on his face, as if he had seen a savior. He quickly bowed to Su Lun and said, "Sir, the young master is very sleepy, but he just refuses to go back to his room..."
Su Lun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the situation. He gently patted Azhe's shoulder and said, "You go down first. I'll take care of it here."
Ah Zhe replied hesitantly, "Well, I'd better wait until I send the young master back before settling him down, only then can I feel at ease."
Su Lun smiled and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry, and patiently explained: "It's okay, I took care of him personally before, he will be fine. You've worked hard all day, go to rest early."
After hearing Su Lun say this, Azhe nodded with relief and slowly retreated.
At this time, Su Lun gently pushed Su Xi's shoulder and called softly: "Xiao Xi, wake up, it's time to go back to your room and sleep."
Su Xi rubbed her eyes dazedly, yawned, and asked vaguely: "Second brother, have you finished talking with the eldest brother?"
Su Lun nodded gently, touched Su Xi's head, and replied: "Well, we have talked about it. Let's go, I'll take you back to rest."
Hearing that they were going back to their room, Su Xi suddenly sobered up a little, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He blinked his bright eyes and said to Su Lun coquettishly, "Brother, can I sleep with you tonight? I'm a little scared to sleep alone."
Su Lun shook his head and refused, "No, Xiaoxi, you are a man, you must learn to be independent and brave, you can sleep peacefully, the house is safe, nothing terrible will happen."
Su Xi heard this, a slightly frustrated look appeared on her face, and she murmured to herself, "Okay then."
Su Lun looked at his listless appearance and couldn't help but feel distressed, so he gently rubbed his head. But he knew that he couldn't just spoil his child blindly, and he had to stick to his principles when it was time for him to learn to be independent.
After sending Su Xi back to the room, Su Lun found that he was no longer sleepy, so he decided to tell him something in advance.
"Xiao Xi, I will invite a teacher to teach you how to read and write in a few days."
Upon hearing the news, Su Xi's eyes lit up immediately and she smiled excitedly: "Really? Second brother! That's great, I can finally go to school!"
He clenched his fists tightly and said expectantly, "Second brother, I will definitely study hard. I can also speak Dashun's words now, and I will definitely not embarrass you and Big Brother."
Su Lun laughed and encouraged, "Then you must study hard and don't let me down. Okay, take a rest today. Remember to cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep at night to avoid catching a cold. I'll go home first."
Su Xi nodded obediently and responded, "Good night, second brother. See you tomorrow."
