731 Old Friend

Chu Jin really despised the physique of scholars.

Sun Baoshan nodded seriously. "I will."

Chu Jin left quickly. He was depressed and needed to find someone to drink.

After Chu Jin left, Sun Baoshan also left the Chu Residence. He couldn't help but smile. He quickly mounted his horse and walked home.

The coldness from last night had already subsided. Now, he was neither hungry nor cold. He had also begged for a chance. He could not contain the smile on his face. Now that he was in high spirits, nothing could make him feel cold.

The curious residents discussed animatedly and said that the Chu family's daughter was getting married.

The dozens of betrothal gifts that Sun Baoshan had brought were all accepted.

No one noticed that a sad person had left sadly.

Sun Baoshan waited all night. The Chu family waited all night. Hu Changshou also waited all night.

Now that it was settled, Hu Changshou sighed and left quietly.

He felt that he had overestimated his magnanimity. Yesterday's magnanimity was only on the surface. In fact, he had not gone far outside the Chu Residence. He was also waiting for the outcome.

He didn't like Chu Li that much, but they were almost going to get married. Hu Changshou felt indescribably uncomfortable.

He understood the taste of power too well. Chu Li was a shortcut in his life. Unfortunately, someone else beat him to it.

If there were no feelings, they could nurture them. If Sun Baoshan could work hard, so could he. Sun Baoshan did not take concubines, so did he.

Chu Li was really good. She would definitely be a very good wife. She was virtuous. He would never meet such a good girl in his life again. She was impeccable in every aspect.

Hu Changshou was disappointed.

He didn't notice what was in front of him. After bumping into someone, he apologized numbly. "I'm sorry."

After apologizing, he continued walking forward.

"Hu Changshou."

The woman called out to him.

Hu Changshou was stunned when he heard a familiar voice.

He looked over. The young girl was beautiful, but her clothes were a little tattered. He did not know if there was dirt on her face or something else, but she looked dirty and cold. He did not know what she was thinking, but he frowned slightly. It was none other than Bai Xu.

"Miss Bai Xu."

Hu Changshou smiled faintly. He did not expect to see Bai Xu again. Thinking of Bai Xu, Hu Changshou recalled that Bai Xu did not leave him behind. Even though she did not appear again, he felt that she did not leave.

"Why are you in the capital?"

Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou suspiciously. She did not know many people and did not have any friends. Apart from Grandma, Hu Changshou was the longest stranger she had ever interacted with.

She had indescribable feelings for him. When they met again, he seemed to be in a daze. Bai Xu walked to Hu Changshou's side and waited for him to answer.

"I... it's a long story-"

Hu Changshou sighed and realized that he didn't know where to start.

"Then do you have money?"
