Chapter 36 - Her feelings were waiting for him here

Xiao Hanzheng stood up with a smile.

“It’s good that you’re back.”

Just as he finished speaking, he saw two young men dressed in servant attires.

One of them carried a pot of purple chrysanthemums while the other carried a lot of other things in.

Shi Qingluo introduced, “This is Young Master Bai Xu’s servant from the Bai residence. He helped his young master send flowers to our house.”

Xiao Hanzheng asked in confusion, “Send flowers to our house?”

Shi Qingluo explained, “Young Master Bai’s flowers are sick. I happen to know how to treat them.”

Xiao Hanzheng was extremely surprised. “You know how to treat flowers?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Not only do I know how to treat flowers, I also know how to groom them.”

Xiao Hanzheng was just about to speak.

Number Five, who heard the conversation between the two, widened his eyes and said, “Young Master Xiao, you actually don’t know that your wife can groom and treat flowers?”

It’s over. Was their young master fooled by her?

Xiao Hanzheng smiled faintly. “My wife just married me not long ago, so I didn’t know.”

He continued, “I believe that she will definitely be able to treat your young master’s flowers.”

Although he hadn’t spent much time with his wife, he roughly knew her personality.

She wouldn’t do things that she wasn’t sure about.

Number Five looked at Xiao Hanzheng sympathetically. “Young Master Xiao, your wife signed an agreement with our young master.”

Xiao Hanzheng looked at him. “What kind of agreement?”

What was this sympathetic look supposed to mean?

Number Five said, “It means that your wife will use your scholar’s reputation to guarantee that she will definitely be able to heal my young master’s flower.

“If the flower dies, you will compensate my young master 160 taels of silver on behalf of her.”

Number Five coughed lightly. “Your mother also said that you should be the guarantor.”

Xiao Hanzheng…

So he was sold by his wife and mother?

No wonder his wife was smiling so brightly.

Her feelings were waiting for him here.

He turned his head to look at his wife and mother.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him innocently, he was immediately amused yet helpless.

Thus, he said to Number Five, “My wife can make decisions on behalf of me. Go back and tell Young Master Bai that I will guarantee the flowers.”

Number Five realised that Elementary Scholar Xiao was very indulgent towards this troublesome woman.

“That’s good. Our young master only believed that your wife can heal the flowers because of you.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “I would like to thank Young Master Bai for his trust.”

He knew Bai Xu.

He was only average in her studies and did not continue to take the further examinations after he was accepted as an elementary scholar.

However, he was very business-minded and talented.

He would be able to expand his business in the capital in the future.

They used to be in different schools, so they did not have much interaction.

However, he heard that Bai Xu was a straightforward person.

He should have a decent character.

Number Five smiled. “Young Master Xiao, you’re too kind!”

He turned to Shi Qingluo and asked, “Where do you want to place the flowers?”

Shi Qingluo replied nonchalantly, “You can put it anywhere you want. I’ll take care of it later.”

Number Five was speechless.

Why did he feel that it wasn’t reliable to be so casual?

He smiled sheepishly. “Can I take a look at how you’re going to take care of it?”

Although he wasn’t a gardener in the Bai residence, he was responsible for taking care of his young master’s greenhouse, so he knew a little about it.

Shi Qingluo knew that he was worried. “No problem. Let’s take care of it now.”

She took out the tools that Number Five had brought from the Bai family.

In front of Number Five and Number Four, she started to remove the rotten roots and leaves of the purple chrysanthemum.

Her movements were smooth and fluid, and she was even more serious and focused when dealing with the sick chrysanthemum.

This made Number Five and Number Four, who were originally suspicious of her, to believe a little more in her.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at Shi Qingluo, who was focused on her work, and a smile inadvertently appeared on his face.

His little wife always gave him a sense of novelty that urged him to explore further.

Shi Qingluo dealt with it more carefully and only stopped after fiddling with it for nearly an hour.

“The problem has been dealt with. I will be maintaining this flower for the next few days during morning, noon, and evening.”

She added, “But this is the secret skill from the Luoxia Temple. I couldn’t let you watch.”

Xiao Hanzheng knew immediately that his wife had thrown the blame to the old priest again.

5

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

1

However, he had to admit that his wife was very smart.

She threw everything to the old priest. No one could verify whether it was true or not.

Number Five smiled and said, “Since it’s a secret skill, we won’t watch it.

“We’ll go back first. Our young master will come to see the flowers in a few days’ time.”

Number Four had already moved all the things that Shi Qingluo bought into the courtyard.

Shi Qingluo waved her hand. “Take care, both of you.”

The two of them nodded. “Goodbye!”

After the two of them left, Xiao Hanzheng looked at Shi Qingluo and raised his eyebrows as he chuckled. “You’re so happy to have sold me?”

Shi Qingluo glared at him. “I’m trusting you.”

She leaned over and smiled as she tugged at Xiao Hanzheng’s sleeve.

With a hint of coquettishness, she said, “Little Hanhan, I knew you were the best.”

2

He had cooperated very well in front of Number Five and Number Four, which was commendable.

Xiao Hanzheng…

Now, he became Little Hanhan.

This woman really left him at a loss for what to say.

But for some reason, not only was he not angry, he had a strange joy in his heart.

He asked with a smile, “This time you are not calling me hubby?”

Seeing the two of them talking so intimately, Mother Xiao called Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang to pack up the things they had just bought and put the chicks and ducklings in the backyard.

This gave the two of them some private space alone.

Once the three of them left, Shi Qingluo directly held Xiao Hanzheng’s arm.

She even shook his arm and changed the topic. “Husband, I want to discuss something with you.”

Since it was a trial marriage, Shi Qingluo took it that they were in a relationship.

It was normal for them to act coquettishly and for her to coax her husband.

This was the first time that Xiao Hanzheng was held by a woman’s arm.

His body stiffened at first.

However, he did not feel disgusted. His smile deepened and he lowered his head to look at her. “What is it?”

When she alienated him or wanted to use him, he would be her husband or hubby.

Shi Qingluo said, “I want to make paper. Help me.”

Xiao Hanzheng was surprised again. “You can also make paper?”

Shi Qingluo nodded. “I can!”

She added, “But the process is a little complicated. It’s not convenient for me to do it alone.”

Xiao Hanzheng lowered his head and asked, “Why did you suddenly think of making paper?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “I went to buy paper for you today. I found that it’s very expensive and the quality is not good.

“If you make paper yourself, not only will the cost be very low, but the quality is also very good. It’ll save you a lot of money.”

Then she added, “And I don’t want to use toilet chips anymore. I want to make toilet paper.”

Xiao Hanzheng wanted to support his forehead.

The last sentence was definitely the main point.

He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll make it with you.”

He could only indulge whatever his wife wanted to do.

Shi Qingluo hugged his hand and shook it again. “I know you are the best husband.”

Her young husband was really not bad.

He did not have a chauvinistic attitude.

The key was that he could keep up with her pace and not get to the bottom of why she knew these things.

This was what she was most satisfied with.

She said, “When your body has almost recovered, we’ll start making paper.”

“Okay, we should be able to start tomorrow.”

While Shi Qingluo held his arm, he found that he did not resist such intimacy at all.

In his previous life, he did not like to have any physical contact with women.

He really did not expect that when he woke up, not only did he have a wife, but his acceptance rate towards her was also very high.
