Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

"Oh well!"

Chen Ruoting responded politely.

...

"These two are the underground couriers I mentioned to you last time, Lao Pan and Zhou Zheng." Lin Sian introduced.

After hearing the word "connection", Lao Pan and Zhou Zheng understood and there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Oh, hello!"

Chen Ruoting stopped and politely extended her fair and tender right hand to Lao Pan and Zhou Zheng.

"Oh, hello comrade!"

Old Pan quickly wiped his hands on his body, then gently held Chen Ruoting's hand, and quickly let go.

Zhou Zheng was the same, they were both afraid that Lin Si'an would misunderstand, after all, they came together. But not shaking hands seemed inappropriate.

Lin Sian nodded secretly, thinking that they were quite sensible.

After bringing the two men to a small room, Lao Pan and Zhou Zheng tactfully did not follow them in.

After all, the two sides are not on the same line. Their job is to send personnel and intelligence materials to each other, and they don't care about other irrelevant things.

Lin Sian took a look inside. The middle-aged man was nearly 40 years old, with a square face. He looked very gentle and decent overall. He should be a cultured person.

The more Lin Sian looked at this person, the more familiar he felt. Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen this person on TV before, but he was a character in a documentary.

And he is several dozen years older.

But he was sure it was that person. Decades later, this person would be a high-ranking official! He secretly remembered this person.

Lin Sian did not go in with Chen Ruoting. During this period, he did not want to get too close to the underground party to avoid getting into trouble.

"Uncle Lin, Chen Jiang asked me to thank you. The last batch of supplies was of great help to them. He also said that if there is anything we need help with, just let me know." Old Pan said with a sincere smile on his face.

"No need, just tell him to take good care of Yuerong for me." Lin Sian waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

After the three of them chatted in the patio for half an hour, Chen Ruoting came out with the middle-aged man and then they left.

"You didn't tell your comrade about me, did you?" Lin Sian asked.

"No, didn't you tell me not to tell?" Chen Ruoting replied.

"Well, that's good!" Lin Sian nodded. "By the way, you just said that the organization has assigned you to be responsible for which intelligence service?"

"I am mainly responsible for equity and intelligence on Eyuan City." Chen Ruoting said. After all, she has learned how to use the radio.

"Does this count as a promotion?" Lin Sian asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Chen Ruoting also laughed.

After sending Chen Ruoting back to the small western-style building, Lin Sian returned to his own residence.

He was prepared to make careful plans for what was to come, including further communicating with the commander on behalf of Xu Wanqing.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Today is a day off.

Lin Sian was also quite lucky, as Song Qingyun happened to be at home.

Oh, Song Caidie is not here. She must have gone out shopping with her sisters.

The two walked into the study.

Well, a study is indeed a must-have place for every big shot!

"Come, try this tea. This is the top-quality West Lake Longjing tea in Hangzhou. Savor it." Song Qingyun brewed a pot of good tea for Lin Sian.

"Well, it's sweet but not bitter, mellow and long-lasting, it's really good tea!" In fact, Lin Sian didn't know much about tea. As long as it was delicious, it was the same to him, so he casually praised it.

"Haha, how come you have time to come to my place today?" Song Qingyun asked with a smile, especially in the morning, it was definitely not for his niece Song Caidie.

"Oh, it's like this. I heard that the commander of the Jibei District is about to step down, and someone asked me to come and inquire from you about the situation." Lin Sian pointed out directly that the client was interested in this position.

Song Qingyun's expression immediately turned serious.

He stared at Lin Sian and asked, "Whose family wants to ask?"

"Xu family!" Lin Sian replied.

"Oh, the eldest son of the Xu family!" Song Qingyun nodded and fell into deep thought.

Lin Sian looked a little anxious, but didn't want to rush him.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. When he was about to ask again, Song Qingyun suddenly asked, "How is your relationship with the Xu family?"

"Xu Wanqing and I are good friends, and she asked me to ask." Lin Sian explained, meaning that he was only friends with Xu Wanqing and was not familiar with other members of the Xu family.

"Well, you can tell her that our Song family has not yet taken a clear position." Song Qingyun said concisely.

What does this mean? Does the Song family not want to intervene, or has it not yet decided how to act?

It's really annoying. These officials always speak vaguely, making people spend a lot of time trying to figure out what they are saying! Lin Sian complained inwardly.

"By the way, how is the progress of the map investigation?" Song Qingyun changed the subject, obviously not wanting to talk about the previous things anymore.

"There are some clues. We have already locked onto some targets who hold maps, and are currently waiting for the right time to take action." Lin Sian answered vaguely.

Next, Song Qingyun talked about some things in officialdom. It was more like imparting experience than a conversation.

Lin Sian listened carefully. Even though he felt that these might not be of much use to him, they were all valuable experiences that should not be missed.

Moreover, my children will definitely enter the officialdom in the future, so it would not be a bad idea to pass on these experiences to them then.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was lunch time. At Song Qingyun's invitation, Lin Sian naturally would not refuse, so he stayed for lunch.

In the restaurant, he saw Song Caidie who had just finished washing up. After asking, he found out that she was learning ballet. No wonder she loved dancing so much and was so good at it!

What a versatile person!

Lin Sian admired in his heart.

Song Caidie was very happy to see him at home, so she talked incessantly.

After lunch, Song Caidie suggested going to the stable to ride horses.

Lin Sian actually wasn't very interested in this, but Song Caidie's enthusiasm made it difficult for him to refuse.

Song Qingyun also spoke, saying that men should ride on horses and experience the pride of wearing armor.

After hearing this, Lin Sian could only complain in his heart, what era is this? Are we still fighting on horseback?

But he also understood that horseback combat is still popular at this stage, and the troops of many countries still retain the tradition of horseback riding.

Seeing Song Caidie's high spirits, Lin Sian couldn't bear to spoil her fun, so the group headed to the horse farm outside the capital.
