Chapter 339: Open the Letter and Be Happy "Master Lin! We sent the letters to the Lin family in Shu Village and the Wang family in Heng Village according to the addresses Master Lin gave us. This is the reply they wrote to Master Lin!" said the middle-aged man in more luxurious clothes. He handed two letters to Lin Jue respectfully, then turned around and took out a few things from the people around him. "They are not valuable things. They are just pens, inkstones, and a few bags of tea from my hometown." In addition to this middle-aged man, there was a group of young men standing on the street behind him, looking at Lin Jue silently, with fear, curiosity, as well as some kindness and respect in their eyes. The intimacy should be that both myself and they are from Huizhou. This is how it is these days—— Once you leave a village, you become close to people from the same village; once you leave a county, you become close to people from the same county; and in a place as big as the capital, people from the same hometown naturally become closer. If you are in the officialdom, this can be used as a basis for climbing up the social ladder or promoting others. As for respect... Lin Jue could only guess that this middle-aged man might have boasted about himself in front of these young men. He stretched out his hands and took the letter paper gift. "Thank you, Mr. Yan." "Sir, you still remember my last name!" The businessman couldn't help but look surprised and touched.

"Of course I remember." Lin Jue said, "You've come all this way, it must be hard. Please come in and have a cup of tea." "No, no! I am still covered in dust and dirt, I dare not pollute the residence of Master Lin and Master Fan! Besides, Master Lin has been kind to me, it is my honor to deliver the letter for Master Lin. After delivering the letter to the Wang family and Master Lin's uncle's house, I was entertained by them. How dare I enter the house?" "Please come in." Delivering letters is an arduous task. In those days when the mountains are far and the roads are long, a letter from home could be worth tens of thousands of pieces of gold. It is not the etiquette of those days not to invite someone in, entertain them and express gratitude after they have come from thousands of miles away to deliver a letter. What's more, Lin Jue could see that the rich businessman's refusal was just a polite refusal. Therefore, Lin Jue welcomed them into the house, boiled a pot of hot tea for them in this cold winter season, and took two drops of spiritual liquid from Luo Gong's bottle to relieve their fatigue and coldness. How can you not be tired after traveling thousands of miles? But when I arrived at the residence of the real person in my mind, the excitement naturally overwhelmed the fatigue, and then I drank a cup of tea, and for some reason, I felt a warm current rising in my body. My heavy legs and feet suddenly became light, and my fingers and toes that had been a little cold and stiff also warmed up immediately, and became dexterous again. It was so comfortable that I wanted to sigh. "Ah~~" The middle-aged wealthy businessman sighed. The young man beside him also had red cheeks, and they looked at each other secretly, unable to hide their surprise. Just the ghosts and monsters encountered on the road alone would be considered a wonder in the mind of a young man who was going out for the first time. As for the real person whose name alone could scare ghosts and monsters into returning the stolen things respectfully and intact, the white fox kept in the yard, and the tea that could make your whole body warm and comfortable after drinking a cup of it, they all sounded like fairy stories told by the old people in the village. It’s just that today it’s their turn to enter the story. "How are my uncle and aunt in health?" Lin Jue asked the Huizhou merchant named Yan with concern. "They look fine. Both of them look healthy. When I went there, they were still building a new house." Huishang said, "When I left, they asked me to bring a message to Master Lin, saying that if Master Lin asked about the family affairs, they should tell him in a good way." "Then Lord Yan shouldn't have whitewashed it, right?" "Of course not! How dare I?" "My cousin got married..." Lin Jue immediately showed a look of emotion, and what he thought of was the young man who had carried a basket and bamboo shoots on his back and went to the temple fair with him in the city. So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.

He became famous in the capital, and he got married and had children. "I married a woman from the Wang family in Hengcun." The Huishang saw his emotion and answered in a low voice. "Um……" Lin Jue knew that these things were probably in the letter, so he didn't ask any more questions and instead asked: "How is Huizhou now?" "Huizhou is relatively peaceful. In the past, the most peaceful places in the world were Qinzhou and Huizhou. Now, Qinzhou is not so peaceful anymore, but Huizhou has become the most peaceful place." Huizhou merchant answered respectfully, but at this point, he paused, looked at the young men around him, and lowered his voice, "It's just that there are rumors that the governor of Huizhou is colluding with the descendants of the King of Yue and recruiting soldiers." "Where is Mr. Wang from Hengcun?" "..." The Hui merchants were a little surprised that Master Lin was not surprised at all for such a big thing and did not ask any further questions. After thinking about it for a while, I felt stupid. I felt surprised and strange when I heard such things, but how could such a major event in the world be hidden from a deity like Master Lin? Then he quickly replied: "Mr. Wang is old, but he has done a lot of good things in his life. Now is the time to enjoy the rewards of his good fortune. He has no worries, and his children and grandchildren are very filial, so his complexion is not bad. When I delivered the letter, he grabbed me and asked me a lot of questions about Master Lin." Lin Jue chatted with him for a long time until it was getting dark outside. He then invited them to have a meal at a restaurant on the street outside and then politely sent them back. Then he returned to the courtyard. He placed the gift given to him by the Huizhou merchants on the table, but he was reluctant to part with the two letters, so he kept them in his pocket. When he took them out, they had already warmed up. "what is this?" The fox followed him closely in small steps and easily noticed the joy in his heart at the moment. So he kept glancing at his hand, wanting to know what the happy thing was. "letter!" "Like last time?" "Yes." "Is it fun?" "what?" "Is it fun? This thing!" "It's very precious." "Is it more valuable than that swallow's egg?" “It’s hard to compare.” "Woo..." "Light the lamp for me!" "Hey!" Under the tree in the courtyard, a lotus lantern was lit on the stone table.

Lin Jue sat at the table and opened the letter. "Wow..." The first letter I opened was the one from my uncle. "My nephew Lin Jue..." Although it was written like this, my uncle couldn't write and my cousin's handwriting was also very poor. It was obvious that my uncle had someone write it for him. It was either the merchant named Yan or the young man named Shu in the village. The letter said that the uncle's health had recovered and he was the same as before. I didn't know whether it was true or not. The uncle couldn't sit still, and couldn't quit the work he had done all his life. He still had to manage his own land. They said that the family was not short of money, and asked Lin Jue not to ask anyone to bring money back. The Lin family was originally living on the edge of Shu Village, with no houses behind them. The Shu family took the initiative to give them land so that they could build two new houses at the back. My cousin married a woman from the Wang family in Heng Village who is very good at managing household affairs. The people in Hengcun are good at doing business. With her help, my cousin also started a small business. However, the world was not peaceful last year and his luck was not good, so he made no profit or loss. The tone of the letter was not fixed, but changed back and forth, allowing Lin Jue to imagine a person sitting at a table with a pen writing, while his uncle and aunt stood behind that person, talking to each other. Occasionally, there were a few black spots that were smeared out in the letter, which were longer than the typos, making Lin Jue imagine the argument between his uncle and aunt, one saying that this should be said, while the other felt that it should not be said. These details make the letter come alive. Lin Jue sometimes sighed and sometimes smiled. Reading the letter sent by Mr. Wang from Hengcun, although it does not have the same emotion as a letter from home, it is just like having a brief chat with an old friend and elder, which makes people feel happy. Lin Jue obtained the Great Yin-Yang Method some time ago, and he has been in a very good mood since then. Yesterday he obtained the Swallow Egg Incense, which is also a happy thing. Today he received a letter from home, which is undoubtedly a happy thing as well. It can be said to be double happiness. I felt relaxed and happy, with an indescribable joy. This was probably the happiest moment in my life. It seems as if I have sensed something in my heart. Lin Jue paused for a moment and suddenly turned his head. I saw the light under the tree, a round stone table, and a white fox about the size of a cat sitting on the table. It would occasionally look at the letter in its hand, and sometimes stare at itself curiously, like a child who saw an adult get something good - if the joy in its heart could be seen and touched, it would have already stretched out its claws to grab it. "I advise you to be cheerful." "Hmm? Ahahaha..." Fuyao was stunned for a moment, and the whole fox immediately fell backwards, with its belly facing the sky, lying on its back on the stone table, trembling, and making a baby-like laughter from its mouth. It was difficult to tell whether it was a human or a fox. The laughter lasted for a long time. I don't know whether it was happy or not. Anyway, halfway through the laughter, it held its belly with its two little paws, trembling and rolling around. At least it looks happy. After having fun, he started chasing Lin Jue and biting him. …… Not only the recipient is happy, but also the sender. "You are satisfied now that you have met Master Lin, right? Master Lin even invited you to have a meal. Many dignitaries in the capital don't have this honor. It will be enough for you to brag about in the future." The Huizhou merchant named Yan smiled at the young man beside him as he walked back to his residence.

"Satisfied, satisfied! Thank you, second uncle!" The young man was so happy, "But what kind of tea did the gods give us? Why do I feel so comfortable after drinking it?" "What kind of tea can the gods give? Of course it's the tea of ​​gods! These days are not peaceful, don't tell anyone casually!" said the Huizhou merchant named Yan, "I tell you, drinking a cup of tea may help you live a few more years!" "So powerful?" "The gods' tea is so delicious, so why don't we send tea to the gods?" "It's a thoughtful gesture! When offering sacrifices to ancestors, people usually place fried fish and sacrificial meat on the table. Could it be that the gods are in need of that piece of fat? Besides, this is tea from my hometown." "How can gods have relatives?" "Who says gods don't have relatives? Before gods became gods, they were all mortals in the human world. Grandpa Tianweng still has descendants!" said the Huizhou merchant surnamed Yan. He paused and looked around. "Besides, things are getting more and more uneasy these days. There are more and more demons and ghosts. In my opinion, gods like Master Lin must be real gods who have been reincarnated to the human world to fight demons and monsters." "Oh……" A group of young men were surprised and amazed. I'm afraid I'll remember this kind of thing for the rest of my life. I don’t know how many years it can be passed down. But who could have imagined that the real person was being chased and bitten by the fox he raised. (End of this chapter)
