After leaving the city, the rain became heavier and heavier, there were no pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few carriages would pass by, and when he went out early in the morning, his grandfather reminded him that it might rain in the afternoon, so he set a carriage with a canopy when he went out this time.

"Master, it's raining too much, do you want to find a place to take shelter?"

On Monday, when I was driving the carriage, I couldn't open my eyes when I was drenched in the rain.

Sun Caixi was puzzled: "In this deserted land, where can I shelter from the rain?" ”

"There is a manor house not far in front where we can go to shelter from the rain," Monday said. ”

Sun Caixi remembered, about ten miles ahead, there is a manor, the owner of this manor is also surnamed Sun, and they still have some relationship with their Sun family, because this Sun family is a big family when it is in China, the family is very rich, it is a big rich man within a radius of dozens of miles, although there is not much land in the family, but it is very good at business, it is a well-known Sun Caixi rich man, they simply look down on Sun Caixi's family.

Now although Sun Caizhu's house is next door to their house, the two families have not walked around each other.

Monday whipped the whip and the carriage sped up.

Sun Caixi was reluctant to go to Sun Caizhu's manor to take shelter from the rain, the two of them had never had any contact, so they went to someone else's manor, and they didn't know if they were welcome!

However, now that it is raining so hard, where else can you go if you don't go to his house?

Sun Caixi thought about his thoughts, and the carriage soon came to the intersection of Sun Caizhu's manor, and Monday pulled the reins, and then took the belt to the left, and after the carriage slowed down, it turned to the left fork in the road.

This fork in the road leads to the manor of the rich manor Sun, and Sun Caixi watched as Monday brought the carriage into the fork in the road, and he did not try to stop it, and the pouring rain made him restless.

Sun Caixi heard that their family also brought more than 20 maids and slaves from China, and Sun Caixi's family could not afford to raise maids and slaves when they were in China, so their family could not be compared with Sun Caizhu's family.

When the rich man came to the Americas, he was given 600 acres of land, not because the rich man's family was rich, but according to the size of the population.

Sun Caixi's carriage was driving on a field that belonged to the rich man Sun's family, and when he looked up, he didn't see any manor, and he wondered if he had gone the wrong way on Monday.

As he was about to ask a question, a row of earthen houses appeared in front of him, and when he passed through this row of earthen houses, he saw a large gate with an open opening, and several Indians were guarding the door.

The carriage stopped at the gate, because it was still raining, Sun Caixi did not get out of the carriage, and ran up on Monday to negotiate with a few Indians watching the gate.

Sun Caixi looked in from the gate, the yard was very large, and the earthen houses he passed by just now were part of this courtyard, because of the rain, there was no one in the yard.

After a while, Monday ran back wet.

"How?" Sun Caixi asked.

"They went and called the master out." Monday replied as he wiped the rain from his forehead.

Sun Caixi looked into the courtyard again. It didn't take long to see someone come out of it, and out came a middle-aged man of about forty years old, dressed very elegantly, dressed in silk and satin, with a leather melon skin hat on his head, and an Indian holding an umbrella for him.

Sun Caixi didn't bring rain gear, so it was inconvenient to get out of the car, and when the middle-aged man approached, he arched his hand to the middle-aged man and said: "Below is Sun Caixi from Dewang Manor next door, and wants to borrow a precious place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

The person who came seemed to know Sun Caixi, and he bowed his hand and saluted back: "It turned out to be Young Master Sun, rude!" Faux pas! The arrival of Young Master Sun made the humble house shine. Come on in! Come on in! ”

Sun Caixi didn't expect the family to be so enthusiastic, and he asked Monday to drive the carriage into the yard.

Entering the yard, Sun Caixi found that there is a world of difference between this and their yard, his yard is built by the British, European-style architecture, the manor is fully functional, there are master living areas and servant living areas, flowers and trees are trimmed, neat, and the road is smooth and clean. The yards here are all built temporarily, there is no master's area and no servant's area, the yard is overgrown with weeds, the road is potholed, there is a puddle of water on the left and a puddle of water on the right, and there is mud everywhere.

This middle-aged man's name is Sun Youcai, forty-three years old, he is not the owner of this manor, the owner of the manor is called Sun Fugui, and he is a thin old man with a white beard who is seventy and three.

Sun Caixi was introduced to a large house by Sun Youcai, and he met Sun Fugui, the owner of the manor.

"Caixi to meet Grandpa Sun!" Sun Caixi saluted Sun Fugui very politely, "Thank you Grandpa Sun for letting us come in to shelter from the rain." ”

Sun Fugui gave a thumbs up and said, "You're just happy!" It's amazing, my grandfather Sun is also going to throw himself into your five bodies, you are the great talent of our Sun family, you have a future, a future! ”

"Grandpa Sun has won the prize!" Sun Caixi said modestly.

Sun Fugui almost said: "We were fellow villagers when we were in China, and now we are close neighbors, and we are all surnamed Sun, like a family!" When you come to our manor, don't see outside, don't see outside. ”

Sun Youcai interjected on the side: "My father has long said that he will visit your manor, but this time is really too busy, you have seen, our manor has just begun to be built, and it is still a mess everywhere, it can't compare to your manor!" ”

Sun Fugui coughed, interrupted his son's words, and then said to Sun Caixi: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, today Young Master Sun was fortunate to come to the Humble House, and the old man prepared a thin wine, and invited Young Master Sun to appreciate his face, and then go back after dinner." ”

Although Sun Fugui's family was allocated 600 acres of land, but their family's 600 acres of land are barren land, which needs to be cultivated to become mulberry fields, when their family came here, it was still a wasteland, and there was not even a decent thatched house, their family was really self-made in the Americas, fortunately, there were 500 black slaves assigned to them by the state, and 50 Indians, with these helpers, the manor was built into its current state, this manor and their Dewang Manor is really incomparable, Because of his relationship with Sun Caixi, their family came to America and got a ready-made English estate.

It was still raining outside, and of course Sun Caixi wanted to take shelter from the rain at Sun Fugui's manor, so they agreed to Sun Fugui's invitation to have dinner at his house.

Sun Youcai had Monday change into clean clothes and led Sun Caixi's horse into their stable.

said that it was a thin wine, but the dishes on the table were very rich, they respected Sun Caixi as a distinguished guest, Sun Caixi was very useful, the former rich man Sun now has to be respectful to himself, he can't help but breed an indescribable sense of superiority in his heart.
