“That’s good. When the time comes, Jianger can enter the capital with Lord and visit Hero Gao.”
Fourth Master Lin naturally knew of Chu Sihan’s and Shi Yi’s relationship. He also knew that Chu Sihan would definitely enter the capital with the bridal escort team.
It was perfect to get him to take care of Lin Jiang.
Chu Sihan did not refuse and nodded slightly in agreement.
Lin Jiang was excited and apprehensive.
He was excited that he could finally meet the legendary person. He was apprehensive that his path to becoming his disciple would not be smooth sailing.
Even if he did not succeed in becoming his disciple, he did not think much of it. As long as he could meet Gao Xu, it was worth it.
After dusk, more than half of the Dongfang Mansion’s guests had dispersed, leaving only the bridal escort team.
As they were leaving at midnight, everyone rested early.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan did not return to the government office. Instead, they stayed in the guest room of Dongfang Mansion.
Lu Sheng had just closed her eyes when someone knocked on the door.
“Sheng Sheng, it’s time to get up and prepare.”
It was Chu Sihan’s voice.
Lu Sheng rubbed her eyes and put on her clothes and cloak before opening the door.
“It’s going to be midnight in fifteen minutes. Eat something and fill your stomach.”
Chu Sihan walked in with a bowl of piping hot pork ribs porridge and spoke softly.
Lu Sheng did not eat much at the banquet today. Along the way, no one sold food in the middle of the night, so he could only borrow Dongfang Mansion’s kitchen to cook a pot of porridge for her.
Lu Sheng walked to the side and lit the lamp before returning to the table to sit down.
“It smells so good!”
She sniffed and praised sincerely.
Chu Sihan smiled silently and passed the porridge to her. “Eat quickly.”
“Yes!”
Lu Sheng received the porridge and rinsed her mouth with warm tea before starting to eat.
“How’s the taste?”
Chu Sihan waited until she was halfway through her meal before asking softly.
Lu Sheng nodded. “It’s delicious. The ribs are all boiled well. It’s fragrant and delicious.”
As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and took another bite. She ate with a satisfied expression.
Chu Sihan smiled faintly. He had been cooking this porridge for three hours. How could it not be delicious?
Seeing how the girl was eating, his efforts were not in vain.
When it was midnight, the lights outside the door were all lit. It was bright, as if it was daytime.
After Chu Sihan called for someone to clean up the dishes, he left with Lu Sheng.
There was no snow or wind tonight, but the sky was as cold as usual.
Those who were not fully awake immediately woke up from the cold.
Chu Sihan let Lu Sheng wait at the same spot. After leaving for a while, he brought two horses with three people behind him.
Lu Sheng took a closer look and realized that it was Shi Yi, Yun Ting, and Lin Jiang.
Seeing Chu Sihan pass a horse to Lu Sheng, Shi Yi raised his eyebrow and teased, “If you ask me, it’s enough if Brother Chu prepared just a horse. It’s so cold outside. How warm would it be if the two of them rode on a horse? Brother Yun, don’t you think so?”
Yun Ting ignored him and nodded at Lu Sheng before walking towards the door.
Chu Sihan turned back and glanced at him lightly without saying anything.
Lu Sheng smiled awkwardly at them and led her horse to follow Chu Sihan.
Shi Yi snorted softly and turned his head to instruct Lin Jiang to follow him. Although he was not close to Lin Jiang, he was still quite close to Fourth Master Lin.
Fourth Master Lin had instructed them yesterday to take good care of Lin Jiang. Naturally, he could not forget.
As it was midnight, it was naturally not as lively as when they arrived in the morning. The streets were cold and empty, and only their group was advancing.
