May in Hangzhou was like a beautiful scroll painting.
The beauty of Jiangnan was fully displayed in this season.
But Sun Yixie, who was hurriedly traveling, had no mood to slow down and appreciate the scenery because he could pretty much guess how his family would react to his having been missing at sea for so long. So, as soon as he reached the outskirts of Hangzhou, he spurred his horse into a gallop and entered the city, heading straight for Sun Mansion without a moment's delay.
It wasn't until he reached the gates of his home that Sun Yixie reined in his horse and dismounted in a hurry.
And no sooner had he stood firm than a house servant sweeping at the door recognized him.
"Mr... Mr., Mr..." This house servant, who has appeared in a previous passage, is Sun Shisan, known for his "nimble feet but a slow tongue."
