The next day.

Lin Yunchu packed up his things and was eating breakfast. His mother brought up the pancakes she had just made and kept looking towards the courtyard door.

"Mom, what are you always looking out for?"

Lin Yunchu picked up a piece of fried sauerkraut with chopsticks and drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl. He thought to himself, the whole family has almost finished breakfast, why did Lin's mother still make pancakes?

It looks like he is waiting for someone.

"Yanzhou, Chang'an said he told Yanzhou to go to the town with you today. Don't you know about this?"

Lin Yunchu:........

These days, Lin Changan ran to the Lu family at dawn, and after coming back, he would go back to his room after eating. He was very mysterious. She didn't ask much, so she didn't know that there was such a thing.

However, this was not the first time that Lu Yanzhou had followed their ox cart to the town. It was just a matter of convenience and not a big deal, so it was not surprising that Lin Changan did not tell her.

Lin Yunchu looked surprised and shook his head.

Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Mother Lin was delighted and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She said loudly, "It must be Yanzhou. I'll go open the door."

After Lin Yunchu cleaned up the dishes, he saw Lu Yanzhou following his mother into the house. Lin Changan, who was standing by, quickly stood up and ran over happily, "Brother Yanzhou, you're here. Come have breakfast with us. Mother even made pancakes."

After saying that, he pulled Lu Yanzhou and wanted him to sit down.

"No, I've eaten."

Lu Yanzhou's eyes curved slightly, his lips curled up and he smiled softly, then he touched Lin Changan's head and said something to comfort him.

"Yanzhou, you don't have to be polite. Just have a few bites."

Mother Lin also tried to comfort him, saying that it was impossible for her aunt to get up so early in the morning to make breakfast so quickly. She was probably just feeling embarrassed for Lu Yanzhou, and she made these pancakes specially for him.

Lu Yanzhou glanced at the table and saw the golden pancakes that seemed to be emitting a fragrant aroma. It was obvious that they were just made by Lin's mother.

He turned around and shook his head, then helped Lin Changting put things onto the ox cart.

Seeing this, Lin's mother didn't say anything more. She stood at the gate of the yard and watched Lin Yunchu and the other two go away in the ox cart before turning around and going back into the yard.

Lin Yunchu looked at Lu Yanzhou sitting next to him, and suddenly remembered Lin Changan's mysterious look these days. His thoughts couldn't help but wander: Could it be that these two people have some secrets?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

The voice that came to her ears seemed to carry a hint of laughter. Lin Yunchu's face paused. When she raised her head, she saw Lu Yanzhou looking at her calmly with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Yunchu then realized that she had been staring at someone when she was distracted.

Looking at Lu Yanzhou's appearance, her face suddenly turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Changting, who was driving the ox cart in front, turned around, frowned slightly, and asked the two of them curiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the moment Lin Changting turned around, the ox cart suddenly shook, and Lin Yunchu lost his balance and fell to the side. Lin Yunchu's chest tightened, and he thought he was going to hit the pole on the side.

"Be careful."

Lu Yanzhou, who was standing next to him, quickly grabbed Lin Yunchu's hand, thus avoiding the danger of a collision.

"Thank you...thank you."

Lin Yunchu patted his chest and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, it was just a little bit off."

Lin Changting quickly turned around and pulled the reins, then looked down and saw a fist-sized stone on the ground. No wonder, it was all his fault for not paying attention to the road while driving the carriage, and he almost crashed into it.

Now he didn't dare to be distracted anymore, "Are you okay? I just hit a rock."

Lin Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, big brother."

Thinking of what Lu Yanzhou had just said, "Just now I was just thinking about how my younger brother has been going to see Brother Yanzhou these days, and he's been acting mysterious and muttering all day long. I was just a little curious."

If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have been stunned. It was so embarrassing to be caught staring at Lu Yanzhou like that.

Lin Yunchu lowered his head and heard a low chuckle beside him, followed by Lu Yanzhou's deep voice: "Chang'an...just wanted to learn how to read from me, and asked me a lot about going to school."

Lu Yanzhou recalled the day when Lin Changan came to the Lu family to find him and asked him for advice in a serious tone. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if with a hint of a smile.

Recognize words?

School?

Recalling that after the Lin family said they planned to send Lin Chang'an to school, Lin Chang'an seemed to have changed. He was not seen running out to play with pillars and stones all day long.

Every day, he either helps out at home or goes to Lu's house and stays until dark before going home. It turns out that this is the reason.

Why is he asking about the school? There is no rush to learn to read. It will not be too late to talk about it after he actually goes to school.

Lin Yunchu pursed her lips, raised her head and looked at Lu Yanzhou. She blinked with a hint of confusion.

Lu Yanzhou glanced at Lin Yunchu with amusement, leaned forward slightly, and explained, "Changan just wants to study hard and live up to his family's expectations."

Although Lin Changan is young, he knows that it is not easy for his family to earn so much money. He wants to work hard like Lu Yanzhou and learn well so as not to let down his family who sent him to school to study and learn calligraphy.

That day, Lin Changshun said that in the future, Lin Chang'an would go to school, study and learn calligraphy, and would be able to pass the examinations to become a scholar or a juren, bringing honor to the Lin family.

Lin Changan took all these words to heart and secretly encouraged himself. Only then did he change his usual behavior, stopped going out to play, and ran to Lu's house whenever he had time.

I just wanted to learn more from Lu Yanzhou.

After hearing Lu Yanzhou's words, the three people on the oxcart were silent for a long time. Lin Yunchu finally spoke up, "Brother Yanzhou, can you accompany us to the bookstore to pick out some suitable pens, inkstones, and other supplies for Chang'an?"

Every time Lu Yanzhou went to the town with the Lin family's ox cart, he would go to the academy alone after arriving at the city gate. Lin Yunchu thought that Lu Yanzhou must know more about these things than she and her elder brother.

When the time comes to send Lin Chang'an to school, these things will definitely come in handy. If Lu Yanzhou is free, he can take them to have a look. That will definitely be better than them groping in the dark on their own.

Lu Yanzhou paused, having never expected Lin Yunchu's final words to be this, but...

This was a small matter, so it wouldn't hurt for him to go along and help out, so he nodded to Lin Yunchu.

Soon the three of them arrived at Yipin Pavilion, and Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting led Lu Yanzhou straight in.

Lu Yanzhou also knew about the cooperation between Lin Yunchu and Yipin Pavilion, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he followed Lin Yunchu and entered the inner room with Lin Changting.
