Chapter 465 There will be a good girl to match him in the future
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao asked, "Where is he now? Did he tell me what he was doing?"
The old man herding cattle was a little hard of hearing, and Yun Zhao had to repeat it several times before he could barely hear it.
Yun Zhao looked at him, but he waved his hand and repeated what he had said before, "He said he would be back in a few days and told you not to worry."
Yun Zhao had no choice but to give up the idea of sending someone to pick him up.
The old man driving the cattle slowly walked away, muttering something. What else did he say?
Fu Hai didn't come back and Yun Zhao was not planning to open the business, so Xie Jingmo went to the kitchen to cook three meals a day.
Xie Jingmo spoke less than before and sat quietly at the door. Even though he didn't say anything, he showed the demeanor of a young king.
So, during those few days, more and more girls passed by.
She covered her face with a handkerchief and looked inside shyly.
Because the restaurant was closed, they had no reason to enter, so the timid ones would just take a look inside, while the braver ones would send people to ask -
"Whose young man is this? I have a beautiful girl in my family who is still unmarried. I wonder if you are interested in meeting her?"
Chen Meihua, sitting at another table with her arms crossed, said to Yun Zhao in a very unhappy tone, "This is the ninth one in one morning, not counting those who are craning their necks to watch from outside. How can women these days be so bold?"
Yun Zhao glanced at Chen Meihua, who looked indignant.
She smiled softly and went upstairs.
When Xie Jingmo went upstairs, Yun Zhao was reading a medical book.
"You seem to be feeling better these days," Xie Jingmo asked.
Yun Zhao nodded, "Yeah, Fu Hai is quite good at taking care of people."
Xie Jingmo nodded and looked at the rain outside. It often rained in Meiyu Town, but unlike Kyoto, the drizzle was gentle and there was no intimidation when it fell on the body.
Xie Jingmo glanced at the decoration in the room, "Do you like it here?" Xie Jingmo sat down and asked slowly.
Yun Zhao nodded, "I like it."
Xie Jingmo fell silent again.
But it was only a few seconds. Xie Jingmo then continued, "The deputy general and the others missed you very much. They also regretted that you didn't go back with them last time."
When Yun Zhao heard this, he paused and looked at Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo said, "They bought you a big house in Beijing two years ago. During these two years, I have had people gradually add things to it. Before coming here, I took a look and it was well decorated. If you have time in the future, you can go and see if there is anything else you want to add. It's a thoughtful gesture from them, so just accept it and they will be happy."
After Xie Jingmo finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence again.
"Although this place is nice," Xie Jingmo said, sitting at the table, his eyes indifferent, "but people believe in returning to one's roots. You grew up in Beijing, so if you go back, it will be considered a return home."
Yun Zhao lowered his head and replied softly, "Okay."
Xie Jingmo glanced at her and said, "Are you feeling well enough to walk around a bit? If not, I'll send someone to pick you up later. Qicai has been guarding the Cining Palace. She's been wanting to see you. The children are grown up now and miss you very much."
Yun Zhao pursed her lips and looked at Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo stood up and said, "You can read a book. When you decide what to eat for lunch, tell Deputy General Gao."
Xie Jingmo left after saying this.
Chen Meihua sneaked up from the stairs, leaned over the table, looked Yun Zhao in the eye, and said, "Did you understand what Xie Jingmo just said?"
"He's thinking about you and wants you to come back."
"But when you left, as a man, a man who had been abandoned before, he couldn't force you to do it. He was afraid you would force yourself, so he used other people as an excuse."
"Yun Zhao, do you know where the new house they bought for you in the capital is?"
Yun Zhao looked at Chen Meihua.
Chen Meihua said, "They bought the house next to yours to the left of your old house, dug a hole in the vacant lot behind it, and renovated it along with your old house. I bought some of the things inside at my shop. I've seen it, and it's not luxurious, but very comfortable. You can tell Xie Jingmo decorated it according to your style."
"Two years ago."
"Think about it, at that time, your health was so poor that everyone thought you wouldn't survive those two years."
"After you left, everyone thought you wouldn't come back, but Xie Jingmo still went to renovate the old house and even bought the land around it so that you could live there in the future. How thoughtful of you!"
"Yun Zhao, you have to know that men in this world are very heartless. How many men are like Xie Jingmo?"
"No matter why you left before, now that Xie Jingmo wants you back without any complaints, just go with him. After all, you're well now, so there's no question of whether you're a burden or not. Besides, is Xie Jingmo afraid of being a burden? He's the emperor now, what could he be afraid of?"
Everyone thought that Yun Zhao left because he was concerned about his poor health.
But I don’t know——
There is another reason for this.
Yun Zhao looked at the spring rain outside. After Chen Meihua had said so much, he whispered, "You don't understand."
Chen Meihua really didn't understand. She said to Yun Zhao, "But I know that people's hearts can't stand being hurt again and again. There aren't many two years of separation in life. Yun Zhao, Xie Jingmo is a good man. You have to think it over carefully."
When Yun Zhao heard this, he smiled as if he was relaxed.
"Well, there will be a good girl to match him in the future."
When Chen Meihua heard this, she was about to say that Xie Jingmo would be sad if he heard it, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a figure flash by at the corner of the stairs.
The man walked out of the blind spot and went downstairs.
Chen Meihua: '...'
"Just now, Xie Jingmo was listening outside?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao sighed with a gloomy look in his eyes.
It was near noon that day.
As soon as Xie Jingmo came out from behind, someone came in with a smile on his face.
He is a local squire.
He looked at Xie Jingmo carefully, with the eyes of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.
"good!"
“She’s really good-looking!”
The squire turned and asked his daughter, "Is this the man?"
The girl nodded shyly, "Yes, Daddy."
The squire was well-known for his wealth and power. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he strode in.
"May I know your name, young man?" The squire looked at Xie Jingmo, his meaning was obvious.
Xie Jingmo set the table for Yun Zhao before sitting down. Lieutenant General Gao saw Xie Jingmo's sullen face and immediately asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
The squire looked at the imposing Xie Jingmo and nodded with satisfaction. "My daughter is eighteen years old and is still waiting to be married. I wonder if she would like to see him?"
"My daughter is as beautiful as a flower. In this Plum Blossom Village, she is truly..."
The squire wanted to say it was one of the best, but after looking at Yun Zhao, he swallowed his words and said with a chuckle, "It's top-notch. You won't lose out."
"Besides, my family only has one daughter and is wealthy. If you marry my daughter, I can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth. What do you think?"
