698 Arrangements

Su Xiaolu was really not talented in culinary skills.

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi in embarrassment. “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”

Her culinary skills in her previous life were not good, but they were not as bad as they were now.

There were some things that she knew how to make, but when she made them, the taste was different from what she had imagined.

Zhou Zhi was already at the Foundation Establishment realm and there were no flaws on his face. He looked good no matter how one looked at him.

“Xiaolu, peel the onions for me.”

Zhou Zhi smiled and asked Su Xiaolu for help.

Su Xiaolu happily helped. She helped with small things like peeling onions and handing him bowls.

When the pot of meat porridge was ready, Su Xiaolu sniffed and praised from the bottom of her heart, “It smells so good.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Go and call the two Masters over to eat.”

He liked to spend time together like this. The kitchen was important in the mortal world. Looking at Su Xiaolu’s figure, he felt the entire heart warm up.

The porridge also seemed to have become very fragrant too.

Gui You and Old Wu came to eat. Perhaps because of the porridge, Old Wu’s expression improved a little.

The four of them ate at the table.

After finishing the entire pot, Zhou Zhi wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly. He looked at Gui You and Old Wu and said, “Seniors, what are your plans next? Are you prepared to return to the capital?”

“We don’t have any plans. You’re a noble and have many things to do, so you don’t have to worry about the girl. Perhaps the girl will be called by Sister-in-law when she comes back soon.”

Old Wu said to Zhou Zhi with a fake smile.

Gui You remained silent.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “If you want to return to the capital, we can go back together.”

Now that the weather was cold, Su Xiaolu was most likely going back to the capital. She definitely wanted to go back and take a look at Su Xiaoling’s child and Su Chong’s child.

She had become an aunt.

“Fourth Brother, we’re not in a hurry yet. We’ll definitely go back before the new year. Now, I have to make arrangements here first. We’ll go back slowly after I’m done.”

Su Xiaolu smiled at Zhou Zhi.

She was going to deal with the properties in Goathorn Town. Their family would settle down in the capital, near the palace. They were not here, and their house was occupied by the Su family. She would not let them off easily.

After dealing with the properties, Hu Changshou wanted to join the army. He also had some things to settle down. After settling these down, they would return to the capital together.

Zhou Zhi definitely couldn’t delay with them.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the capital.”

Zhou Zhi smiled at Su Xiaolu. He wanted to go with her, but it was obvious that he couldn’t. He could only go back first. Su Xiaolu’s house was in the capital. She would come home sooner or later.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay.”

Zhou Zhi stood up and went out. Su Xiaolu sent him out.

“This flower is for you.”

Zhou Zhi gave a white flower to Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu took it. He smiled and turned to leave.

Su Xiaolu sniffed the flower. It smelled good and made her feel very comfortable. She put the flower in her Space.

She looked at Zhou Zhi’s back. After having the wood mark, Zhou Zhi was no different from a normal person. However, when detoxifying the poison, he still did not want her to see his leg.

She really hoped that his feet would grow back soon, Su Xiaolu thought.

Only after returning to normal could Zhou Zhi’s painful memories be slowly sealed and he could let go.

Zhou Zhi bade farewell to Su Xiaolu and returned to the capital.

The winter in the foreign land was cold, and it was difficult to go in. Therefore, those people from the martial world who had gathered in Goathorn Town also left.

Chu Jin stayed behind. As soon as Zhou Zhi left, he came to Su Xiaolu’s side, thinking that with a companion, he could ask Gui You for guidance and freeload.

Su Xiaolu and the others did not mind having one more person.

Chu Jin was also enthusiastic and easy-going.

In the afternoon, he moved a small stool and helped Su Xiaolu deal with the herbs. He asked Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, is your cousin married?”

His sister, Chu Li, was about the same age as Hu Changshou. He was quite a suitable candidate for marriage.

He felt that Hu Changshou was a real man. A good man could take responsibility. His sister was a little delicate, but she also had their mother’s good looks. His sister would definitely be able to take down a real man like Hu Changshou.

There was no one with a high status who did not take concubines. Her mother often nagged that if only Nini could meet someone like her father.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Leizhen did not take concubines or visit brothels. He only had Madam Wen by his side.

He was devoted.

After hearing more, Chu Jin naturally took it to heart. Of course, he had to choose his sister’s marriage well.

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “Unmarried.”

Chu Jin cleared his throat lightly and immediately said happily, “That’s great. When we return to the capital, let him meet my sister. If the two of them can get along, it will be a beautiful thing.”

If Hu Changshou was capable, he would definitely have some achievements in the future. His sister would definitely not have a hard life with him.

Su Xiaolu did not expect Chu Jin to have such thoughts. She paused for a moment before saying, “Aren’t you afraid that your father will hit you?”

She had heard from her eldest cousin, Qi Xingfeng, that Chu Leizhen’s father was a general with a steel heart.

Chu Jin had been beaten a lot when he was young.

...

Chu Jin smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t be afraid. When it comes to choosing a husband, of course he has to be more picky. It would be strange if a badly arranged marriage could be good.”

“Look at your brother. It takes two people in love to live well.”

Chu Jin thought of Su Chong. Back then, Su Chong and Lin Yaoyao had also been tested. The two of them had feelings for each other. Only then did they get together and cherish each other.

Su Xiaolu smiled. It was undeniable.

This year, Big Brother became a father and Sister became a mother.

Only by being with the person one liked would one’s future be meaningful.

In the next few days, Su Xiaolu dealt with the house.

Hu Changshou sold some divine medicine and bought a house in town. After settling Hu Changyang and Madam Cao down, he came to meet Su Xiaolu.

Knowing that Madam Cao and the others had come to town, Su Xiaolu went to take a look.

Chu Jin followed.

He smiled and greeted Madam Cao and Su Xiaozhi. He patted Hu Changyang’s head and said, “Study hard and practice martial arts well.”

...

Hu Changyang nodded in embarrassment, thinking that this person was too friendly.

Madam Cao looked at Chu Jin again and again. Chu Jin was very easy-going. Although looked fierce and difficult to get along with, but in fact, he was not. He would help chop firewood, kill chickens, and pluck chicken feathers. He felt that there was not enough to eat and even begged Madam Cao, saying, “Grandma Cao, I like to eat chickens and ducks. These two are not enough.”

Madam Cao immediately asked him to kill two more so that Chu Jin could eat his fill.

During the meal, Chu Jin promised Madam Cao, “Don’t worry, Little Brother Changshou will follow me. I definitely won’t treat him badly. After joining the army, we’ll all be brothers.”

Madam Cao nodded repeatedly. She was relieved.

Su Xiaozhi did not speak. However, when Su Xiaolu returned home after dinner, Su Xiaozhi chased after her and stopped her. “Xiaolu, I’m sorry.”

She had hurt too many people.

Su Xiaolu did not turn around. She said calmly, “Goodbye, Aunt.”

With that, Su Xiaolu left without looking back. Chu Jin wanted to ask, but when he looked back at Su Xiaozhi, whose face was covered in tears, he quickly quickened his pace and caught up to Su Xiaolu.
