Chapter 102 The Sun family’s madness
Sun Qiqiu stood outside the door of Lin Cunde's mansion, very hesitant, but it was impossible not to go in. My mother had been sick and spent a lot of money and food. The eldest nephew in the family was sick again, all the money was spent, and his salary had not been paid yet. There had been changes in the family before, and the people in the capital were My relatives have already borrowed money. If I go to borrow money again, I won’t be able to borrow it without saying anything. I’m afraid I still won’t be able to borrow it.

Sun Qiqiu had no choice but to bravely come to Lin Cunde's house.

Sun Qiqiu sighed, he had nowhere to go but came here, so he picked up the copper ring and tapped it lightly.

Soon, the door opened and the concierge stood at the door and asked: "Master, who are you looking for?"

Sun Qiqiu immediately raised his hands and asked, "Is this the residence of Lin Cundel and Lin Dushi?"

"Yes, are you looking for our young master?" the concierge asked in return.

"Yes, could you please tell me that my old friend Sun Qiqiu is waiting for you outside the house!" Sun Qiqiu replied, not daring to say hello. He can't go to other people's homes now, so he can only wait outside.

The concierge once again cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment!"

The concierge said, closing the door and immediately going to find Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde was reading in the study and learned that Sun Qiqiu was waiting to meet him outside.

"Oops, I was busy and forgot. We agreed to meet up to sit down!" Lin Cunde quickly stood up and began to put on his coat as he spoke.

"Master, are you going out?" Qiu Shuang also stood up and helped Lin Cunde button up.

Lin Cunde nodded and said: "Well, we made an appointment a long time ago, but I have been so busy these days that I forgot about it!"

"Master, if you want to go out to play, you can't wear this. Master, I'll give you some clothes later. It won't be good if you catch a cold!" Qiu Shuang said quickly after hearing this. If you just go around the garden at home, you can wear this. It doesn’t hurt to have less, but when you go out, wearing this is not enough.

"Is it okay?" Lin Cunde asked casually after hearing this.

"Yes, Master, wait!" Qiu Shuang said and went out.

Lin Cunde had no choice but to wait in the study.

After Qiu Shuang brought some clothes over and put them on for Lin Cunde, Lin Cunde walked out of the study door.

And Sun Qiqiu, who was outside, was also stamping his feet at the moment. It was cold!
After waiting for a while, Sun Qiqiu was also very tormented, wondering if Lin Cunde would see him.

And I am asking for help this time, and I don’t know if they will help me.

Just when Sun Qiqiu was wandering in his heart, the door opened.

"Brother Wangxian, I'm rude, I have to go out, so I spent some time changing clothes!" Lin Cunde came out, smiled and bowed to Sun Qiqiu and apologized.

"It doesn't matter, I'm disturbing you because of my brother!" Sun Qiqiu forced a smile.

When Lin Cunde saw his expression, something was wrong, so he went over and took Sun Qiqiu's arm and said, "Let's go, brother Wangxian, let's find a place to drink tea and chat!"

"Okay!" Sun Qiqiu could only smile and nod.

As he said this, Lin Cunde pulled him to the bottom of the steps. At this moment, a carriage drove out from the corner, and it was Lin Cunde's carriage.

"Brother Wangxian, I hope you'll forgive me. Something happened at home recently, and I'm busy dealing with it!" Lin Cunde said to Sun Qiqiu. At this moment, there were ten guards and two servants standing behind Lin Cunde.

"I know a little bit, but you have to be careful!" Sun Qiqiu said quickly, but his face still looked a little strange, mainly because there was something on his mind.

Lin Cunde saw his absent-minded look and immediately asked: "Brother Wangxian, what's the matter?"

Sun Qiqiu glanced at it, then sighed, lowered his head and considered not to say anything.

"Brother Wangxian, if you are in trouble, just say it. If I can help, I will not stand idly by!" Lin Cunde also said quickly, keeping his eyes on Sun Qiqiu.

"Hey, I'm ashamed!" Sun Qiqiu also figured it out. He didn't know who to look for if he didn't look for Lin Cunde, so he handed over his hands and said: "Cunde, my brother's family is in trouble. My old mother has been bedridden, and my eldest nephew is sick again. My salary is... He didn’t come down so soon. He still had some fields at home, but if he sold them, it would be more difficult for the family in the future. He couldn’t support the big family just by relying on the salary. There had been huge changes in the family before, and he had borrowed a lot of money. Now he has to borrow a lot of money. Go ask your relatives and friends to borrow it, but it’s hard for me to ask for it!”

"How much do you want? Brother Wangxian, it doesn't matter if you just say it!" Lin Cunde heard this and immediately expressed his stance. "Fifty taels of silver is enough to make you laugh." Sun Qiqiu quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to Lin Cunde.

"Come here, take 20 taels of silver!" When Lin Cunde heard this, it was only five taels. It is estimated that Sun Qiqiu would not dare to borrow more. Besides, if he is sick, who knows how much it will cost to cure him?Might as well prepare more.

Soon, the servant next to him took out two ingots of silver from the cloth bag and handed it to Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde took it and stuffed it into Sun Qiqiu's hand, saying: "Brother Wangxian, take it and use the medicine as soon as possible to cure my aunt." You can't be vague about your nephew's illness. Don't worry about money. If it's not enough, come to my house at any time and let me know."

"No, it doesn't have to be so much!" Sun Qiqiu was very moved. He just borrowed five taels, but was given 20 taels. He said that he was about to stuff it into Lin Cunde's hands.

Lin Cunde also held Sun Qiqiu's hand and said: "Brother Wangxian, why don't we meet each other? Brother Wangxian, you are happier than me, and your old mother is still here! I want to serve my younger brother, but my son wants to be filial but my mother is not here. .

Brother Wangxian, I know it's difficult for you. Not only do you have to take care of your own small family, but you also have to take care of many nieces and nephews. It's not easy. If you have any difficulties, tell your brother!Your father and I were ministers of the same court, and you and I were ministers of the same court.With this kind of relationship, there is no need to look outside! "

"This is me! Thank you in advance for my brother, thank you in advance!" Sun Qiqiu was almost in tears. Life was difficult these days. All the pressure was on him alone. He was old and young. The key was, There are also many nieces and nephews that I can't ignore. My wife at home has strong opinions and gets angry with me every day. I can only swallow my anger and dare not argue.

"Brother Wangxian, let's go. Send the money back first. I'll also go to your house to identify the door and won't go in!" Lin Cunde said to Sun Qiqiu.

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Sun Qiqiu also nodded.

Lin Cunde thought of something and immediately said to a servant next to him: "Go back immediately and let Qiu Shuang pick up some gifts. Just say that I want to visit the wife of my father's old friend and get some more supplements! Go quickly, I'm here Wait for you!"

"No, no, no need for these!" Sun Qiqiu waved his hand quickly and said.

Lin Cunde quickly persuaded with a smile: "How can I visit my aunt empty-handed? Right?"

"You?" Sun Qiqiu was also very ashamed. Lin Cunde didn't go in, so why did he come to visit.

After waiting for a while, the servant came out with the gift. Lin Cund pulled Sun Qiqiu into the carriage, and the guards and servants followed outside.

"I'm really ashamed that I'm older than you by how many years you are. But now your ability to run a family is far worse than yours! I thought you sold the mansion before, but I didn't expect you, brother, to be so capable!" Sun Qiqiu smiled bitterly at Lin Cunde. said.

"It's also good luck. As you know, my father found a good marriage for me. Otherwise, how could I have such ability!" Lin Cunde said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Well, that is also your ability. I didn't know it before, but now, there are many rumors about you outside! Moreover, I heard that this assassination was also led by the Sun family?" Sun Qiqiu also looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Who knows? The rumors cannot be trusted, but you can't disbelieve them either. Let's all see Jin Yiwei's investigation!" Lin Cunde said with a wry smile.

"Well, you have to be careful. The Sun family has a rich background, but not just on the surface. Sun Zhong is a good person, but his sons are very arrogant. Although they cannot be said to be heinous, they are almost the same. Don't say Sun Zhong's sons, his grandchildren, are all very domineering. There are many brothels and gambling houses in the capital, and Sun Zhong's grandchildren are involved!" Sun Qiqiu reminded Lin Cunde.

"Oh, there is such a thing? Is the Sun family's tutor like this?" Lin Cunde asked in surprise.

After hearing this, Sun Qiqiu smiled bitterly and said: "Aren't all these people like this? I heard that Sun Zhong's sons and grandsons are very honest in front of Sun Zhong, but when they go out, they have a different look. Anyway, you have to be careful. yes!"

Lin Cunde nodded, thinking in his heart, now that Queen Mother Sun can't take care of their family, how can Sun Zhong and his sons not be able to take care of them themselves?
I believe that His Majesty also hopes to punish the Sun family again to deter other people with evil intentions. Moreover, if the Sun family's children have a bad reputation, Zhu Qiyu can win the hearts of the people by dealing with them.

Thinking of this, Lin Cunde asked: "No one impeached? Acting so arrogantly? Can the Metropolitan Procuratorate let them go?"

"Ha!" Sun Qiqiu smiled and said: "Brother, you are still young! Impeachment, do you think there is no one in the Sun family in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? I remember that my father and your father both wrote impeachment memorials, but they were all dismissed in the end. After all, what's the use of getting at most an understatement from the Supreme Emperor? Those people are all the Supreme Emperor's uncles and cousins, and we can still hit them with a stick!"

"That's right!" Lin Cunde nodded.

"That's how this world is! We, no, you are better than me, and you still have people to help you. As for me, just have a good time, take good care of my mother, raise my nephew, and I will get my wish. As for how big an official you should be, asking for orders for the people, ha, I don't have the ability!" Sun Qiqiu sighed, he has experienced too much during this period, and life has stepped him from the clouds into the quagmire.
"Brother Wangxian, why do you need to be like this? Who can explain clearly the fate of life? Today is a man in the field, and tomorrow he is a minister of the emperor! People still need some expectations and hopes. If there are no expectations and hopes, what is the difference between them and the animals in the pen? Wangxian My brother is also depressed because of too many changes during this period, so that's okay!" Lin Cunde also smiled and advised after hearing this.

"Yes! After all, they are better than ordinary people!" Sun Qiqiu nodded.

"That's how it is! Now is the first year of His Majesty's accession to the throne. Who can say what will happen in the future? Just do your own thing! No need to be so emotional, we are still so young, why do we need to act like an old-fashioned person?" Lin Cunde said with a smile again.

"Haha, my brother is not as open-minded as you!" Sun Qiqiu also laughed when he heard this.
