On the third day of autumn classes, four fast horses arrived at Woniu Village in a dusty hurry. The attendant at the gate of the Lin's Residence noticed the guests' expressions and quickly greeted them respectfully into the small courtyard.
"Is Madam at home?"
Lin Xiaoyang, the son of Duke of Zhen, handed the reins to the attendant and entered the threshold with his three nephews in tow. He glanced around the courtyard, which carried a strong farmyard atmosphere, and his eyes flickered imperceptibly.
"Madam and Second Madam went for a walk in the woods. They just left a short while ago and won't be back until noon."
The attendant took the reins and replied softly, his demeanor very respectful.
"Where is Second brother?"
Lin Xiaoyang paused in his stride and turned to head to the backyard.
"Second Master is there."
The attendant lowered his eyelids and respectfully answered, "He's in the courtyard working out and doing rehabilitation exercises."
