Chapter 398: What do you think of Hu Bo?
After talking in circles, Village Chief Li was defeated by Bai Zhi in the end. He felt like he was a mirror. Bai Zhi will continue to rent their house to store things. It was clear that she didn’t want him to be embarrassed. The rent was already in Mrs. Li’s pocket. Most people in the village know this thing, so how could she not?
After Village Chief Li left, Zhao Sue gathered her things and sighed: “Not all people are as honest as Village Chief Li and his son, so how did he get such kind of daughter-in-law?”
Bai Zhi said in a low voice: “Every family has their own difficulties. This is maybe their fate. Fortunately, they don’t live together, otherwise, their life will be more difficult.”
When Bai Zhi returned to their cabin house after dinner, she stretched out her body on the bed and think about the planting herbs, but suddenly, she remembered Meng Nan’s letter. She quickly sat up and looked for the envelope under her pillow.
The handwriting on the envelope was neat, it can be seen it was carefully done. There were three sheets of paper inside, each letter was filled with characters.
Meng Nan said that the dry food she made for him was delicious, but unfortunately, he had finished everything along the way. Since then, he missed her cooking a lot.
He also said that on their way back to the capital, they encountered a group of robbers. Fortunately, there were enough guards to the Meng family. With Jin Shiwei’s help, he got out of danger, but they suffered heavy losses. Several of their men were killed and injured. Their carriage was destroyed, so he had to walk to the nearby town.
Then he said, after returning to the capital, the emperor summoned him and assigned him to a small post official. Although his official rank was not high, it was better than being idle just like in Qingyuan Town.
But then he also said that he missed his life in Qingyuan Town, especially after meeting her, he hoped to see her as soon as possible.
He said that he will always wait for her reply. As long as she was willing to go to the capital, he will send someone to pick her up immediately.
“What are you looking at?” Zhao Lan went inside the room and saw her holding the letter with a serious face.
Bai Zhi folded the letter when she finished and shoved it back into the envelope, then she smiled: “I forgot to read Meng Nan’s letter. When I met Chen Dage today, he reminded me about it. I just remember it today.”
Zhao Lan smiled and asked, “What did he say in the letter?”
Bai Zhi put the letter under the pillow and shook her head gently: “Nothing much, he just said that they arrived in the capital peacefully, and he was asking if we’re living a good life. He also asks if we wanted to go to the capital.”
Zhao Lan sat beside Bai Zhi and took her hand, then asked: “Zhi’er, do you want to go to the capital? If you want to go, you don’t have to worry about me. No matter where you want to go, as long as I can be with you, it doesn’t matter where it is.”
Bai Zhi was very touched. She knew that with Zhao Lan’s temperament, she was not a lively person. The life in the mountain village was most suitable for Zhao Lan.
“Niang, I just want to live a simple life with you here, nothing else.” She then held Zhao Lan’s hand and smiled ambiguously: “Niang, I have something to ask you, what do you think of Hu Bo? ”
Zhao Lan’s face blushed immediately, and she quickly pulled back her hand: “This child, what are you asking me?”
“Niang, don’t you know what I am asking? Tell me about it.”
Zhao Lan’s face seemed to be burning. She turned away her eyes to Bai Zhi as she said with a not so good tone: “I know what you are trying to say, but stop talking nonsense. I’ll go and fetch water. You can rest first.”
Looking Zhao Lan, who was trying to escape, Bai Zhi couldn’t continue the matter. She had never seen her mother like this, her mother was so cute, it seems she had guessed it right.
