Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 507
Chen Jin quickly took off his outer clothes, threw them to her, and said, "Take off your wet clothes and bake them. I'll wait outside." After speaking, he got up and went outside the cave.

Li Zhu paused for a while, then slowly removed the wet clothes, put on Chen Jin's outer shirt, and set the fire to dry the clothes.

Li Zhu looked at the blazing fire in front of him, and heard the crackling of wood in the fire, only felt his heart agitated, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

After she changed into dry clothes, she called Chen Jin and the others to come in.

However, only Chen Jin came in.

Li Zhu had nothing to say, "Where are Qingfeng and the others?"

"hunt."

About two quarters of an hour later, Qingfeng came in with a roasted grouse, and Qingsong handed over a stack of washed leaves and a pot of water.

Chen Jin took it naturally, took out the short knife at his waist, cut the meat into slices, and put them on the leaves.

Li Zhu watched his movements quietly.

"What are you looking at, eat."

Li Zhu unceremoniously took it and ate it.She had just finished eating when he sliced ​​another leafy meat.

Li Zhu took it and ate it again.Only then did she remember to greet him, "You can eat too."

Chen Jin ignored her with a straight face.Li Zhu had no choice but to continue eating.

"I'm full, you can do whatever you want."

Chen Jin only drank water and did not touch the chicken.

Chen Jin saw that she was full, Fang said in a deep voice, "Now, let's calculate the general account."

Li Zhuming knew the reason and asked: "You look very angry?"

Chen Jin asked, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Li Zhu felt a little guilty, and argued, "I asked Mu Changqian to pass you a letter."

"That's not farewell."

"OK then."

The two fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Li Zhu took the initiative to break the deadlock, "Aren't Qingfeng and the others coming in?"

"They have another place to live, and it's just me and you here."

"……Um."

Li Zhu thought he still had something to say, so after waiting for a long while, he found that the guy had fallen asleep leaning against the rock wall.

She sighed slightly, leaned back, and prepared to take a nap.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she heard Chen Jin say in a cold voice, "You fell asleep before you finished explaining the matter?"

"What do you want me to explain?" Li Zhu asked.

"What are you hesitating about?"

"There are many places of hesitation, such as your home..."

Chen Jin let out a long breath, and said in a clear voice: "The problem of family background is not insurmountable. Let alone a middle-class family like ours, even the concubines of today's emperors have folk women. The former queens were the daughters of scholars."

Li Zhu asked suspiciously: "But don't you need to rely on marriage to increase the strength of your family? It's something like a prosperity for both, and a loss for both."

Chen Jin said softly: "After becoming a general, the thing I hate the most in my life is cutting off land and getting married."

"Does this have anything to do with cede land and marriage?"

"Yes, the marriage between the two families is equivalent to taking me as a marriage partner. Any ambitious man would disdain this. If I want fame and wealth, I can work hard myself, and I don't need to rely on women."

"But what about your people?"

"Do you think I'm a person who is easily influenced by others?"

"Others can't, but what if the other party is your close relative?"

"Real loved ones don't disregard my wishes. I'm glad I don't have such people among my loved ones."

Li Zhu couldn't find any words to refute for a while.

Chen Jin waited for a while, and saw that she fell silent again, so he urged: "I always feel that the family background issue is just your excuse, and there must be other reasons for your refusal."

Li Zhu whispered: "We have different temperaments." This is the most versatile way to refuse.

"It's a cliché, I've used it twice."

"I……"

"Please tell the truth, I can bear it.—One-tenth of your usual sharpness."

Li Zhu: "..."
