Chu Jin really disliked the physical fitness of literati.
Sun Baoshan nodded seriously: "I will."
Chu Jin left quickly. He was feeling depressed and needed to find someone to drink with.
After Chu Jin left, Sun Baoshan also left the Chu Mansion. He couldn't help but smile on his face, quickly got on his horse and walked towards home.
The coldness of last night has receded. Now he is not hungry in his belly and not cold in his body. He is looking for a chance. He can't hold back the smile on his face. Now that the spring breeze is coming, even the cold phoenix driven by the horse does not feel it.
cold.
The curious people talked a lot, saying that the Chu family girl should be married.
It was discussed that all the dozens of betrothal gifts brought by Sun Baoshan were accepted.
No one noticed that a sad man left sadly.
Sun Baoshan waited all night, the Chu family waited all night, and Hu Changshou also waited all night.
Now that the dust has settled, Hu Changshou sighed and left quietly.
He felt that he had overestimated his generosity. Yesterday's generosity was just an appearance. In fact, he didn't go far after leaving Chu Mansion. He was also waiting for the outcome.
He couldn't say he liked Chu Li very much, but they were just a little bit close, and Hu Changshou felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
He understands the taste of power very well. Chu Li is a shortcut in his life, but it is a pity that others have taken advantage of him first.
If you don't have feelings, you can cultivate them. If Sun Baoshan can work hard, so can he. Sun Baoshan doesn't take concubines, and he doesn't take concubines either.
Chu Li is so good, she will definitely be a very good wife, both virtuous and virtuous. He will never meet such a good girl again in his life. She is perfect in every aspect.
Hu Changshou felt empty in his heart.
He didn't pay attention to what was in front of him. After bumping into someone, he numbly apologized: "I'm sorry."
After apologizing, he continued walking forward.
"Hu Changshou."
The woman called out to him.
Hu Changshou was stunned when he heard the somewhat familiar voice.
He looked at the girl and saw that she had an outstanding appearance, but her clothes were a little shabby. She didn't know if it was dust or something, but she looked dirty. Her eyebrows were cold. He didn't know what he thought of. His eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Who could it be if it wasn't Bai Xu?
.
"Girl Baixu."
Hu Changshou smiled faintly. He did not expect to see Bai Xu again. Thinking of Bai Xu, Hu Chang Changshou remembered that Bai Xu did not leave him behind during that time. Even though she did not appear again in the following days, he
I always feel like she hasn't left.
"Why did you come to the capital?"
Baixu looked at Hu Changshou suspiciously. She didn't know many people and had no friends. Hu Changshou was the stranger she had been with for the longest time except her mother-in-law.
She had an unspeakable affection for him. When they met again, he seemed a little lost. Bai Xu walked to Hu Changshou and waited for his answer.
"I...it's a long story—"
Hu Changshou sighed for a moment, then opened his mouth and found that he didn't know where to start.
"Then do you have any money?"
Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou and asked.
Hu Changshou nodded and followed Chu Jin. Chu Jin kept his word and never treated him badly. He arranged a place for him to live. He became Chu Jin's deputy envoy and received monthly silver.
Baixu didn't seem to be having a good life. Hu Changshou's eyes darkened and he said, "Miss Baixu, let me treat you to dinner."
After being separated for several months, Baixu didn't know what he had gone through. He looked very depressed. The bag wrapped around his hand was not clear whether it was black or gray, and it looked like it had not been washed.
Her majestic whip was also gray and seemed to have lost its color.
"Okay, then you invite me to dinner and let's talk while we eat."
Bai Xu nodded in agreement and touched the whip on her waist.
Hu Changshou took Bai Xu to the restaurant, asked for a private room and ordered food.
There was a smile in Bai Xu's eyes. She seemed to be very hungry, so she grabbed some tea and snacks and started eating.
When Hu Changshou saw Bai Xu, he would always think of Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu didn't need to ask about it, but no one asked about Bai Xu.
Hu Changshou said: "Miss Baixu, why did you come to the capital? After that goodbye, you turned around again. Were you okay at that time?"
"are we friends?"
Baixu's mouth was stuffed, and she looked at Hu Changshou and asked.
Hu Changshou thought for a while and replied with some uncertainty: "I guess forget it."
"I came to the capital because it is prosperous here. I have always wanted to come and see it. When the earth dragon turned over, I was still far away and was not injured. I was just unlucky and was pinned down by two big trees.
Later, I met a good man and was saved. What about you, why do you look unhappy today?"
Bai Xu swallowed the snack and lowered her eyes. She used to follow her mother-in-law and walk around. She had been to many places, but she had never been to the capital. Her mother-in-law said that the capital was very prosperous. After returning from a foreign land to recover from her injuries, she
She was confused and didn't know where to go. She suddenly thought of Beijing, so she walked towards it.
Growing up, she had almost no contact with outsiders, so along the way, she almost died on the road several times.
However, she didn't tell Hu Changshou any of this. When she met Hu Changshou in the capital, she couldn't believe it and was excited in her heart. But seeing that Hu Changshou looked worried, the excitement in her heart gradually disappeared.
"I... forget it, the food is here, let's eat first."
Hu Changshou couldn't say anything. Just at this time, the waiter came to serve the food, so he stopped talking and treated Bai Xu to dinner.
Bai Xu looked very hungry.
She didn't ask any more questions and concentrated on eating.
She ate quickly, her eyes were looking at the food, and her hands were picking up the food and bringing it to her mouth. The bowl was always full.
After finishing two bowls of rice, Bai Xu slowed down. She did not ask about Hu Changshou anymore, but talked about herself. She said casually: "After I leave, I plan to come to the capital.
But I had no money, and I didn’t have anything valuable with me. I mostly walked through mountains and forests on the way. When I met Chengzhou, I really couldn’t help it. I went into the city and looked around, seeing the buns and noodles made by the vendors.
They all smelled good, but when they saw me, they let me go, saying that they would not give alms to beggars. I am not a beggar, I just don’t have any money. At that time, a woman said that she wanted to treat me to a meal so that I could have enough to eat. She laughed
She was so gentle, so I followed her, and she ordered a lot of dishes for me. I ate so happily, but after I finished eating, several men came to press me away, saying that the woman had sold me...
"
"I had a fight with them. The place was quite big and there were some masters. I couldn't beat them. I used some hidden weapons to escape."
"Later I went to the city again. I exchanged prey for money. I met some beggars. They were not very young. They also said that they wanted to go to the capital. They said that the capital was prosperous and they could eat well wherever they went. So we just walked together. Let's go.
After many days, they actually want to sell me..."
Bai Xu's eyes darkened. This world was so sinister. It seemed like she had encountered all the evil things. Along the way, as long as she believed it once, nothing good would come of it in the end. She often thought about the Hu Hu she met.
Maybe Changshou was fake, it didn't exist at all, it was just a dream. She arrived in the capital in confusion, and she met Hu Changshou again.
