"Can I just come and pick it up?" Han Xiao said in surprise. He thought the boss lady and others would charge a fee.
The proprietress smiled sheepishly and said, "It's just water, not something valuable. If you need it, just come and get it. It's free."
"Thank you very much, boss lady." Han Xiao said with a smile.
Even though the proprietress said it was free, the place belonged to someone else after all, so Han Xiao secretly stuffed some silver under the bowl.
After seeing Han Xiao's actions, the alien looked at Han Xiao curiously. Han Xiao noticed it and just nodded without saying anything.
However, Han Xiao noticed that these foreigners were probably not simple businessmen.
Just as he stood up, Han Xiao noticed that the leading alien had a dagger on his waist.
Even though Han Xiao didn't know much about the Northern Di people, there was a dagger similar to this one among the gifts that General Huo gave to the young master.
The dagger was captured by General Huo and could only be worn by members of the Northern Di royal family.
I don’t know what their purpose is in coming to the capital at this time.
Han Xiao didn't want to get involved and wanted to stay away from these troublemakers.
After the young master finished drinking, he took the horse and prepared to continue on his journey.
Han Xiao didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the shadow of the tea stall disappeared.
The young master noticed Han Xiao's strange behavior and said worriedly, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Han Xiao pulled the reins and said, "It's nothing. I just thought of something else. Qingyun and the others should be here soon. Let's find a place to wait for them."
The young master saw that Han Xiao's expression had returned to normal. He didn't want to say more, so the young master didn't ask any more questions. He just lifted the veil and looked around.
The weather is hot now and there are not many pedestrians on the road. Han Xiao and his companion came to the only way to the capital.
There happened to be a dilapidated pavilion here, which was a little broken but still nice to block the sunlight.
Estimating the time, Lu Qingyun and the others were almost there. They immediately found a blanket and spread it on the ground. There was no room left to sit in the pavilion.
He let the young master sit on the blanket to rest, and then handed the water bag to him.
The young master had just sat down and hadn't even had a sip of water when he saw a group of horsemen coming from a distance.
The young master quickly raised his head and stretched his neck to ask, "Husband, look, is that Qingyun and the others?"
Han Xiao supported the young master and asked him to stay in the pavilion while he went out to see what was going on.
As expected, it was Lu Qingyun's convoy. Lu Qingyun also saw Han Xiao and waved his hand and shouted: "Han Xiao..."
Then he said something to the people in the carriage, and the horse team immediately sped up.
After a while, we arrived outside the pavilion.
The young master also ran out from the pavilion and said with a happy smile: "Anlan, Anlan, I'm here to pick you up..."
The ground of the pavilion was uneven, and Han Xiao was nervous even when the young master was dancing, fearing that he would accidentally fall to the ground.
He quickly hugged Han Xiao and said helplessly: "Everyone is here, don't get excited."
The young master also knew that his actions were inappropriate at this time, so he waited obediently for the convoy to arrive.
Before the carriage stopped, Liu Anlan jumped off.
She quickly ran towards the young master, pulled him out of Han Xiao's arms, hugged him and kept saying, "Ruanruan, Ruanruan, we finally meet again..."
The two little brothers hugged each other and spun around happily. Han Xiao and Lu Qingyun looked at them helplessly.
Then Han Xiao stepped forward and punched Lu Qingyun on the shoulder, not too hard or too lightly: "Congratulations."
Lu Qingyun looked at Liu Anlan tenderly with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, everyone."
The two of them tacitly agreed not to say anything more. After the two young men calmed down, they each took one of their hands and separated the young master and the others.
Liu Anlan still looked lazy, but after being with Lu Qingyun, there was a bit more affection in his eyes.
As for Lu Qingyun, he was already immersed in the land of tenderness, his eyes glued to Liu Anlan and he never took them away.
Han Xiao never knew that his brother was actually a love-brained person.
"Okay, it's hot, let's go back quickly."
Seeing that the young master and Liu Anlan were talking non-stop, Han Xiao could only speak up to stop them and ask them to go home and talk.
"Okay, Anlan, let's get in the carriage and talk. I'll tell you about the capital..."
The two men supported each other and got into the carriage, leaving Han Xiao and Lu Qingyun looking at each other in bewilderment. Their wives seemed to have forgotten them.
Han Xiao shook his head and patted Lu Qingyun's shoulder helplessly: "Don't worry, I think this kind of situation will happen more often in the future, you should get used to it quickly."
As he spoke, Han Xiao also jumped on his horse and waited for Lu Qingyun to come back to his senses.
Lu Qingyun pondered for a long time before he understood what Han Xiao meant. With a bitter face, he rode up to Han Xiao and said, "Why don't you take care of your husband? Otherwise, it won't be good for him to ignore me in the future."
Han Xiao looked straight ahead and sneered at Lu Qingyun's words. He laughed and said, if he could control it, would the young master and Huo Xinyan be so close?
But from now on, I will have to suffer alone, and Lu Qingyun will be the one who suffers the most.
Han Xiao could already imagine the expressions of Lu Qingyun, a woman in the boudoir who was resentful because Liu Anlan and the young master often did not come home, but his own situation was not much better.
When the carriage team passed by the tea stall again, the group of foreigners had already left.
There were only a few people left in the tea shed.
Seeing Han Xiao looking thoughtfully at the tea shed, Lu Qingyun asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this tea shed?"
Han Xiao shook his head: "No, I just feel a little strange. Qingyun, have you ever tried the tea here?"
Lu Qingyun laughed heartily when he said this: "Well, you mean the well water here, right? Many powerful people would not mind the trouble and would even let their servants fetch it. The couple in the teahouse have been here for many years, so they are quite familiar with this place."
"So that's how it is. It seems I'm narrow-minded." Han Xiao sighed. He thought these rich people would want to take good things for themselves when they came across them.
Unexpectedly, the man only came to fetch some well water every day, and this actually became a protective umbrella for the couple who ran the tea stall.
"If you like, just have someone run there once a day. It's more troublesome."
Han Xiao nodded and did not continue the topic.
"Then do you know what happened in Beidi recently?"
"Beidi?" Lu Qingyun was stunned, not understanding why Han Xiao mentioned Beidi.
Ever since General Huo defeated the Northern Di and brought them back to their homeland, the Northern Di royal family had been terrified and had offered a lot of precious tributes, cattle, sheep, and horses in an attempt to sue for peace.
But this information is public, why did Han Xiao suddenly ask this?
"Well, just now when Ruanruan and I were resting at the teahouse, we met some Northern Di people."
