Chapter 228 Paving the Way

Zhao Lan asked, "You refused?"

Bai Zhi nodded: "Of course, although he and I are friends, we haven't reached the point where we need him to support us. If he is arranged to go to Beijing, in his capacity, his family will not know. How should I deal with myself? Others still treat me as his concubine outside the mansion, I don't want it." She said half-jokingly, but Zhao Lan and Hu Feng knew that what she said was not a joke, the fact was in this way.

Hu Feng didn't say anything, and continued to eat. This answer was what he expected. Bai Zhi, she was different from ordinary girls. She did not have the heart to climb high, and she also had the ability to support herself. She was a concubine in exchange for glory and wealth. She naturally disdains such a lowly thing.

Zhao Lan nodded gratified: "Zhi'er, you are doing the right thing, although we are poor, but we are poor and ambitious, we would rather marry a wild man as a wife than become a concubine in a wealthy family, a concubine is a slave, and you will never turn around ."

Bai Zhi nodded: "I know, mother, don't worry, I won't go anywhere in my life, I'll just watch over you here, we mothers just have a good life, and don't want anything else."

Zhao Lan knew what she was thinking and wanted to persuade her, but in front of the Hu family's father and son, she couldn't say anything, just nodded: "Let's eat."

Thinking that Meng Nan will leave Qingyuan Town in three days, her previous plan needs to be carried out in advance, otherwise, once Meng Nan leaves, her plan will not be implemented so well.

"Mother, I'm going to town tomorrow, do you have anything to buy?"

Zhao Lan shook her head: "I don't have anything to buy. There's nothing missing at home. It's good. Why are you going to town? Didn't you just go yesterday?"

Bai Zhi said: "I didn't plan to go tomorrow, so why don't Meng Nan leave? The melons in our field will be unearthed soon, I have to go and pave the way for sales, otherwise, once Meng Nan leaves, we will be missing. It is not so easy for him, the great Buddha who leads the way, to pave the way."

As soon as Bai Zhi said this, even Hu Changlin, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask: "Do you want Lord Meng to help you pave the way?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "I don't want him to help me pave the way, I just want to meet some people and need his introduction. With our identity, we can't just go wherever we want, and we can see whoever we want, but Meng Nan is different. , In Qingyuan Town, there is no one who does not try to curry favor with him, and with him, he can do more with less."

Hu Feng slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the cloth towel on the side to wipe his mouth, and moved slowly and gracefully. After putting the cloth towel aside, he said slowly: "I don't know who said that I don't want to be favored by others in vain, why? What did you just say, forget it in the blink of an eye?"

Bai Zhi glanced at him and said coldly: "Who said that I would be free from his favor? I will repay him."

Hu Feng raised his eyebrows, turned his face and stared at Bai Zhi who was beside him: "Oh? How are you going to repay him? Are you willing to show yourselves?"

Bai Zhi was a little annoyed, this Hu Feng was obviously finding fault.

"Yes, I'm just going to make promises, what's the matter? It's none of your business?"

Knowing that what she said was angry, Hu Feng still had a dark face for no reason, and snorted: "It's none of my business, blame me for talking." After that, he got up and went back to the room.

Seeing that Hu Feng was also blocked, Zhao Lan tugged at Bai Zhi's sleeve: "Zhi'er, what are you talking about, what are you saying to yourself, can this kind of thing be used as a joke?"
