Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Their family’s life was considered good, but there was still nothing that they could provide. Moreover, Pei Fufu’s brother, Pei Dongyu, was an official and the new top scorer this year. He was highly valued by the emperor.
It was Xue Erfu who said, “Although I too feel that it’s too much, if someone wants to betroth their daughter to Sanfu, they should ask our family first. They definitely don’t care about these things. As long as Sanfu is willing, Father, Mother, you should also agree.”
Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu still didn’t know that their third son liked Pei Fufu. Otherwise, they would definitely feel that it was inappropriate. Xue Yan and the others were afraid that Sanfu would be criticized, so they didn’t tell Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu about this. Even now, they didn’t tell Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu about what they knew.
Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu felt that their second son’s words made sense. They nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”
That night, Quanping Inn delivered the letter to Shao Shuting. Shao Shuting naturally couldn’t send someone to give it to Xue Sanfu directly. Instead, he asked Xue Sanfu to come to his tent.
When Xue Sanfu arrived, he handed the letter to him.
Even though Xue Sanfu had only been able to read for close to two months, his improvement was very fast. He could basically recognize ordinary words, and Xue Yan was also afraid that Sanfu still couldn’t recognize some words, so he didn’t write in much detail. He used words that were often used to write letters. Xue Sanfu obviously didn’t need to ask anyone to understand this letter.
Then, he fell silent.
He also knew that Shao Shuting was acting out of selfishness. Usually, people in the military camp were not allowed to communicate with their families. They were afraid that something would leak out. Therefore, after reading the letter, he burned it to prevent others from seeing it and affecting Shao Shuting’s prestige
Shao Shuting waited for a long time. Seeing that Xue Sanfu had already burned the letter and was silent for a long time, he was a little anxious. He could not help but remind him, “Although I don’t know what was written in the letter, the person who sent the letter told me that your family seems to be in a hurry and asked you to reply as soon as possible.”
The messenger was still waiting outside.
Once he replied, he could send it back overnight.
Xue Sanfu was silent for a while before he cupped his fists and said, “General, can I borrow a pen and paper?
“Of course! Anything!” Shao Shuting immediately moved away from the table, allowing Xue Sanfu to sit down and write his reply on his desk.
His sister was still at the house of the two little devils. The person who sent the letter said that this letter was written by Xue Yan himself. He had to let Xue Sanfu reply as soon as possible.
Only then did Xue Sanfu sit down in the seat that Shao Shuting had given up. He took a brush from the pen rack, dipped it in ink) and slowly wrote the word good on the paper.
Although the handwriting wasn’t very nice, it was still recognizable.
After the ink dried, Xue Sanfu folded the paper and took out an unused envelope from the side. Then, he stuffed the letter into the envelope and sealed it.
Then, he stood up and cupped his fists at Shao Shuting. “Thank you, General.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Shao Shuting hurriedly received the letter. “You should go back and rest.”
As soon as Xue Sanfu left, Shao Shuting immediately had Shiye pass the letter to the people at Quanping Inn. That person received the letter and rode back overnight.
In fact, he had returned to town in the middle of the night, but it was really too late. Knowing that Xue Yan and the others were asleep, that person did not send the letter over.
It was only when the sky was about to brighten that this person rode a horse and hurried to Locust Village.
At the entrance of Locust Village, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were already waiting there. They took the letter and thanked him. Seeing that the person had ridden away again and no one had seen him, they opened the letter..
