Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 315 Is your heart also safe?

Although I still like dogs, I haven't seen one yet, so I don't remember it. Now I hear Rong Jin ask me if I want a dog? Well, I can't say I do.

Hualei pursed her lips slightly.

"Sister Hua, you must have been unhappy during the three years you lived in the Marquis' Mansion, right?" Rong Jin looked at Hua Lei and said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

Hua Lei was startled. She felt Rong Jin's apology was a little sudden, but also somewhat understood. She looked at Rong Jin and said, "Mr. Pei, why are you apologizing?

Xiaoyuan and I are staying at the Marquis' Mansion. Grandfather Pei and Grandma Pei take good care of us. We are so grateful to the Marquis' Mansion that we don't have time to express our gratitude. How could we not be happy?

Thanks to the care of the Marquis' Mansion, Xiaoyuan and I have been able to live such a good life in the past three years.

Even though I have a lot of business now, it is because I have the support of the Hou Mansion behind me, so even if there are many people who are jealous of me, they dare not trip me up. These are what Xiaoyuan and I need to repay, how dare I say sorry to you. "

Hua Lei paused and continued, "As for being unhappy living in the Marquis' Mansion, that's not the case. If I was really unhappy at that time, it was because of the blow I had just suffered from losing my grandfather. It had nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion."

"Sister Hua, are you disappointed in me? When you and Xiaoyuan needed me the most, I did nothing for you?"

Rong Jin looked at the flower buds, feeling guilty and even more sad.

"Master Pei, I am not disappointed in you. On the contrary, I am always grateful to you. You have helped me take care of Xiaoyuan. It is because of you and Rong Jue that Xiaoyuan has slowly recovered from the blow of losing his grandfather.

Although I am his sister, there are some things I can't do anything about. But you and Rong Jue help me make up for it.

Xiaoyuan is growing up well now, and his health is good. He has not gone astray. This is all thanks to you and Rong Jue." Hua Lei said.

"What about you? Is your heart safe and sound?" Rong Jin stared into Hua Lei's eyes and asked. Hua Lei paused, looked at Rong Jin, and didn't know how to answer.

"Sister Hua, is your heart safe and sound?" Rong Jin asked again.

"Do you think I'm mentally ill now?" Hua Lei asked back. Although she understood what Rong Jin meant by "safe and sound", she also knew that her answer was irrelevant.

However, she couldn't tell Rong Jin that if it was the previous flower bud, it should be in trouble, right? But now she understands Rong Jin's approach. Sometimes, letting go is also a kind of protection.

Seeing Rong Jin's face full of self-blame, Hua Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, don't worry, I'm not sick. Look, such a big farm, so many workshops, it's not something a sick person can do." As she spoke, she pointed to the surrounding wheat fields and the workshops in the distance.

Rong Jin looked in the direction where Hua Lei was pointing and couldn't help but smile as well, saying, "Sister Hua, you have always been a very smart person. You will definitely get better and better." After a pause, he continued.

“Sister Hua, thank you for always being so insightful and thank you for always working so hard. I know you’ve had a hard time, but you can relax a little now.

Please wait for me. When I get better and the mansion gets better, I will come to find you."

She was saying some weird things again. Hualei turned her head away, tightened the reins, and the horse under her raised its four hooves, carrying Hualei forward quickly. Rong Jin smiled slightly and chased after Hualei.

After riding back, the two of them had lunch together. Rong Jin showed no intention of going back. Hua Lei couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Master Pei, aren't you going to take part in the Spring Examination next year? Shouldn't you go back and study hard?"

Rong Jin smiled and said, "Grandfather said that we should relax in moderation, and I also think I should relax a little. But what Sister Hua said is also right, I do need to read a book.

But you can read books anywhere." As he said this, he asked Qingzao to take down another bundle from his horse, which contained his books for the imperial examination.

Afterwards, he followed Hua Lei to Hua Lei's study on the farm. Hua Lei was sorting various lists in the study, while Rong Jin was sitting aside reading his imperial examination books.

Just like that, Rong Jin spent the whole day "doing nothing" just hanging around with Hua Lei in Huaying Manor.

It was not until the sun was setting that Rong Jin rode his horse and followed Hua Lei's carriage to leave Hua Ying Manor. After sending Hua Lei to the new house in Yongningfang, he said goodbye and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Hualei heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the sound of Rong Jin's horse hooves fading away outside the gate. Rong Jin was acting strangely today, which was really stressful.

The next day, Hua Lei had just gotten up when Aunt Fu came in and told Hua Lei that the ship to Mobei had returned to Yuanying Village last night. She asked Hua Lei to go over, as they had brought back a ship full of treasures from Mobei.

Hua Lei was stunned, and quickly ate breakfast and rushed to Yuanying Manor.

At this time, she was a little worried about the boat full of treasures on Yuanying Manor. These were the autumn wools brought back by the ship that had just returned from Mobei. Her crew told her that they were precious things.

As early as when their ship first went to Mobei, Hua Lei told the crew that if they encountered Mobei herdsmen shearing wool, they should bring some back.

Because wool is generally sheared only twice a year, once in April and May in the first half of the year, and once in September and October in the second half of the year.

I don’t know if it’s because the ship went at the wrong time or passed through the wrong place, but I didn’t buy any wool in such a long time.

Unexpectedly, when the returning ship passed by a pastoral settlement, it happened to encounter the sheep shearing season in September and October in Mobei, so this time it returned with a large ship full of wool.

But this seems a bit too much. Hualei originally felt that the current clothes were not warm enough, so she wanted to buy some and make some woolen sweaters for some people in her family.

After all, without the flat knitting machines used in the previous life to make wool sweaters, it was too time-consuming to make wool sweaters by hand, and it was impossible to produce wool sweaters in large quantities. So Hua Lei felt that she could not earn this money, and just wanted to improve the quality of life for her family.

However, I don’t know whether the crew misunderstood Hua Lei’s meaning, or they trusted Hua Lei too much and thought she had a golden finger that could turn stone into gold.

This time, I saw herdsmen in a settlement in Mobei shearing wool in large quantities, so I bargained for a very low price and bought all the raw wool and brought it back.

So, what Hualei saw was this huge boat full of wool. What else could she do? She couldn't return it, and she could only blame herself for not explaining it clearly in the first place.
