Chapter 145
"Ah?" Bai Susu was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook her head, "You are not married yet, old man, don't misunderstand me."

"That's coming soon." The old man glanced at Zhou Ximing with a half-smile, and immediately changed the subject, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Ximing looked at him, and replied lightly: "The capital."

"The capital." Hearing the name, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't been back to the capital for more than ten years."

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhou Ximing always felt very familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he didn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time.

Seeing that the chicken had been roasted, Bai Susu extinguished the fire, then pulled out a dagger from the calf, and smashed the soil on the surface of the chicken bit by bit.

After the soil layer is crushed, the fragrance of lotus leaves becomes more and more obvious.Bai Susu wiped the dagger clean, and opened the lotus leaf, revealing the fresh and tender chicken inside.

The aroma of the chicken is completely exposed at this time, and the smell is tangy.The old man stopped and went to countless places and tasted such delicious food for the first time.

After the meal was finished, the old man burped in satisfaction, and looked at Bai Susu with admiration, "I have been to countless places, and the taste of your food is the only one I have ever seen in my life."

The old man took out a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to Bai Susu, "This is for you, it's the reward for this meal."

The piece of jade he handed over, even though Bai Susu didn't understand jade, she also knew that it was a very good piece of material.Because Bai Susu received such a jade pendant for a meal, Bai Susu really deserved it.

"You should keep this jade jue. This meal will be a chance encounter." Bai Susu didn't reach out to pick it up.

"Take it, it's useless for the old man to keep it." He stuffed the piece of jade into her hand, paused, and asked again: "I don't know if the girl still needs a bodyguard. The old man can help protect you. How about you?" The old man can provide food."

The old man is a person who likes to eat very much. He always eats a lot of delicacies. Today, he was really shocked by Bai Susu's culinary skills.

If she kept providing such good food, the old man felt that it would be a good choice to spend the rest of the time protecting her in exchange for some food.

"It's indeed a good idea." Zhou Xi looked at Bai Susu with a smile, "It's a good choice to exchange food for a master of the rivers and lakes to protect you."

"It's okay." But it's impossible for Bai Susu to just give him food without giving him other rewards, but it's good to have one more person to protect him.

After discussing this, Bai Susu asked again: "I just don't know what to call you?"

"Just call me Lao Zhou." The old man smiled and waved his hands in a very casual tone.

It is surprising that the surname is also Zhou.

"Okay, then I'll call you Lao Zhou. My name is Bai Susu. You can just call me Susu." Bai Susu smiled, with an easy-going tone and a slow voice.

"Okay." Old Zhou responded with a smile, and looked at Zhou Ximing who was sitting beside him, "I don't know how to call this young master?"

"Zhou Ximing." Zhou Ximing didn't intend to hide his identity, even if he didn't say it now, Lao Zhou would know it when he arrived in the capital.

Hearing this name, Lao Zhou was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked Zhou Ximing up and down, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Are you...the crown prince?"

"En." Zhou Ximing responded lightly.

"It's fate." Old Zhou couldn't help sighing, looking at Zhou Ximing with some appreciation, "I heard that the prince is virtuous before, but I didn't expect to see him here today."

"It can't be called that." Zhou Ximing looked at Lao Zhou, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

Lao Zhou smiled and said nothing more.

After resting here, the carriage started to move forward again, not as fast as when it came.The old man was sitting in front of the carriage with the driver, holding a weed that he didn't know where he took out in his hand.

From here to the capital, Zhou Ximing and Bai Susu spent nearly half a month together.

When she saw the gate of the capital, Bai Susu felt that she was falling apart in the carriage, and she desperately hoped to get out of the carriage for a walk.

Lao Zhou looked at the city gate with nostalgic look in his eyes. He looked around and sighed deeply.

Entering the city from here, Bai Susu and Lao Zhou returned to the courtyard, while Zhou Ximing went to the palace to return to his command.

Lingsu received the news that Bai Susu was coming back early, and was waiting at the door early.Seeing Bai Susu approaching, she walked over with Bai Jingshan in her arms, "Girl, it can be regarded as coming back."

"Yeah." Bai Susu did the math, and it's been nearly three months since she left.She hugged Bai Jingshan who seemed to have grown up a lot, raised her hand to tap his chubby cheek, and said softly, "Do you still remember me?"

Bai Jingshan looked at the person who was hugging him, his black eyes blinked, and he showed a sweet smile.

Lao Zhou looked at the person in Bai Susu's arms, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and hesitation in his voice, "Is this you and his child?"

Lao Zhou was puzzled. He asked before and said that he was not married. How could he have children?
"This is my younger brother." Bai Susu looked back at Lao Zhou, knowing that he had misunderstood, "My parents unexpectedly left early, leaving behind two younger brothers. This is the younger one, named Bai Jingshan."

Old Zhou nodded clearly.

Lingsu looked at Lao Zhou, "Girl, this is..."

"I met this on the road, called Lao Zhou, and I will live here from now on." Bai Susu explained to Lingsu, "You will tidy up a room for him later, let him live in the one in Jingshan In the yard."

"Okay." Lingsu agreed, and after returning to the yard, she turned around and went to tidy up the house.

Bai Susu carried Bai Jingshan to her yard, then took out a leftover snack from the food box beside her, and handed it to Lao Zhou, "Here are some flower cakes, if you like, you can take them." go eat."

Lao Zhou also ate a lot of snacks handed over by Bai Susu along the way. He looked at those flower cakes, nodded with a smile, squeezed a big mouthful and ate it.

Bai Jingshan is now two years old, but he can eat some soft things.Bai Susu broke open a piece of flower cake, and ate the soft part inside.

When it was quiet here, the palace was not as peaceful as it is here.

The emperor looked at his son who had returned, and thought of the urgent report sent from the northwest yesterday, and looked at him with displeasure, "Why did you report the matter of the officials in the northwest region so late?"

"When my son was dealing with this matter, he had already sent a letter to the emperor the next day. It was only later that the third prince came with a letter from his father, so my son came back thinking that the younger brother of the third emperor would handle this matter."
