Chapter 161 The Thousand-Li Horse and the Horseman
Li Xiao spoke after hearing this.
"What happened today happened so suddenly that I may not be able to think of a comprehensive solution. I just thought about it on the way. I want to take Xiuzhi back to the village to see my mother. My father's matter will be resolved sooner or later. When I have the chance, I want to join the Northwest Military Camp."
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu looked at each other after hearing this.
Su Hanchu spoke slowly.
"Since you want to fight for your future, I don't think Xiuzhi is suitable to follow you like this. In this world, reputation is very important for women. I have two plans for you two. The first one is that I will ask the Su family to recognize Xiuzhi as their adopted daughter and hold a wedding banquet for you in Banshan Village.
Secondly, I still want the Su family to adopt Xiuzhi as their adopted daughter, but you two won't get married for now. My business development needs help. Xiuzhi, you come from a merchant family, so you must know how to do accounting and business. Why don't you go out and do business as my adopted sister? When you become successful, you can be together openly."
This time, before Li Xiao could speak, Lin Xiuzhi looked at Su Hanchu and spoke.
"Madam Jun, I choose the second one."
Perhaps he noticed Li Xiao's shocked expression.
Lin Xiuzhi looked at Li Xiao and spoke.
"Brother Li Xiao, I've been waiting to marry you. This has been my wish for the past few years, but I want to marry you openly and honestly. You want to pursue your career, and I also want to become a better person. I don't want one day you become successful and famous, while I am just a village woman."
Li Xiao nodded when he heard that.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
Jun Moye also spoke from the side.
"Li Xiao, I was originally planning to have you join the Northwest Military Camp in a few days. Since you've asked for it now, you can quit your job at the restaurant and spend a few days with your future wife. I'll arrange for you to join the Northwest Military Camp."
Li Xiao spoke with some concern after hearing this.
"But over at Yuelai Tower..."
Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice after hearing this.
"I'll find someone else to keep an eye on this place. Many people knew about your marriage to Lin Xiuzhi. I'm afraid the Ma family must have thoroughly investigated everything between you before the engagement. Once Lin Xiuzhi disappears, the Ma family will definitely find out about you. Joining the barracks now is the best option for you.
As for your mother, the Su family is already teaching her how to grow mushrooms. You can ask her if she's willing. She can stay at the Su family temporarily, or she can come to the Jun family temporarily. With us here, you don't have to worry about anyone doing anything to your mother."
Seeing that Jun Moye had made such thorough arrangements for him, Li Xiao looked up at Jun Moye with gratitude in his eyes.
"Li Xiao thanks you, Master. Li Xiao has entered the Northwest Barracks and will train diligently to earn military merits on the battlefield in the future. I will be at your disposal and follow your lead."
After hearing this, Jun Moye reached out and held Su Hanchu's hand.
"Li Xiao, I've recently inquired about several lieutenants and generals in the Northwest Barracks. I'll probably know which ones have good character in a few days. I'll choose a lieutenant to lead you. As for how far you can go in the future, that depends on your own luck.
You just said you were loyal to me, but I hope you will be even more loyal to my wife. My wife saved your fiancée twice and planned your future together. I hope that no matter how high you reach in the future, you will always respect my wife as you do today."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao hurriedly bowed.
"Sir, Madam, a gentleman's word is as good as a horse's. Your kindness to Li Xiao is like that of a reborn parent. If Li Xiao achieves fame and honor in the future, he will still be yours. Li Xiao is willing to be the sword in your hands."
The matter was almost settled. Su Hanchu couldn't help but yawn. He had been up all night and was really sleepy.
Jun Moye looked at her and gave orders.
"Liu Shan, take Li Xiao and Miss Lin down to rest."
Liu Shan quickly made a gesture of invitation to Li Xiao and the others.
"Mr. Li, Miss Lin, please come this way. There is a vacant yard in the mansion, and Miss Ping'er has already cleaned it out."
Wait for Li Xiao and the other two to follow Liu Shan away.
Jun Moye stood up, picked up Su Han, and walked towards the dormitory.
Su Hanchu slept until the afternoon before waking up.
When I woke up, Jun Moye had already left.
Ping'er fetched water for her to wash.
"Madam, the young master left an hour ago and told me to cook porridge for you in the kitchen. After you wash up, I will bring you some porridge to fill your stomach before we go to Yue Manting for dinner."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly when he heard this, and spoke while taking the towel from Ping'er's hand.
"Where's Xiuzhi?"
Ping'er spoke with a smile on her face when she heard this.
"Ms. Lin, I've finally reunited with Master Li, so naturally we're all in love. The two of us have been sitting in the pavilion in the garden for quite some time."
Su Hanchu also laughed after hearing this. It is more interesting to fall in love by watching others fall in love.
"Ask Liu Shan to go to Yue Manting and pack up a few dishes. We'll eat at home today. Also pack two more and keep them warm in the kitchen for you to eat when you get back."
Ping'er spoke after hearing this.
"Yes, I'll go and explain it right away."
Soon Ping'er Ping'er went out to look for Liu Shan.
Su Hanchu tied her hair and put on lip balm.
When Ping'er came in again, she was still holding porridge.
"Madam, please have some porridge first. Liu Shan has already gone to Yue Manting to pack it up."
Su Hanchu took the spoon from Ping'er's hand, looked at her hesitant look and spoke.
"Do you have something to say? Sit down and talk."
Ping'er sat beside her.
"Madam, I think we should arrange for someone to cook in the mansion. Otherwise, going to Yue Manting every time will be inconvenient for you as you have so many things to do."
While drinking porridge, Su Hanchu thought to himself that he would have more and more things to do in the future. As Ping'er was the head maid beside him, she had to take charge of things on her own. Perhaps he had to see if she could handle some of his things.
"That reminds me. Sometimes it's really inconvenient to go out. For example, right now, Li Xiao and Lin Xiuzhi are no longer suitable to appear in public, but Liu Ling and Qiu Kui are over at Yue Manting. No matter who we call back, the restaurant will be too busy. What do you think we should do?"
After hearing this, Ping'er propped up her little head and thought for a while.
"Madam, everyone in Guanping Village has learned how to grow mushrooms now. There's no need for Chuntao to stay there. I remember that Aunt Li learned housekeeping when she was at her parents' house. She must know how to read this account book.
I think the task of harvesting mushrooms in Guanping Village can be handed over to Aunt Li and Liu Shan. Our mushrooms grow very well, and the villagers will definitely try to plant more in order to make money, so there will definitely be a lot of mushrooms to pick in the village every day.
The villagers can pick the mushrooms and send them to Jun's house at night. Aunt Li will be responsible for collecting the mushrooms and settling the payment. The next morning, Liu Shan will go and wholesale the mushrooms to the vegetable shop.
Liu Shan has to take care of the mushroom issue, so you and your wife will need a carriage when you travel, which may not be very convenient. So you can choose one person from Jiang Li Ke and the others to be in charge of your travel."
