Chapter 828: Let’s get married
The maidservant report in a hurry. As soon as Zhao Lan heard it’s her old friend, she immediately thought of Hu Changlin. She came out of the house and saw Hu Changlin standing at the courtyard gate.
“Hu Dage, what are you doing? Come in!”
The two of them sat in the small hall, their complexion was not normal. They had already liked each other, but they didn’t dare to say it because of the face. They knew very clearly that they can’t.
Hu Changlin was not a smooth talker. It took a long while before he said: “I haven’t seen you for a long while, are you okay? Have you been used to living here?”
Zhao Lan blushed and smiled: “I’m okay, but are used to living in the palace? I heard that the servants in the palace are different from other places. They are used to stepping on the low and holding up the high. Can those people work their best to people with a low background like us?”
Hu Changlin waved his hand: “No, no, I don’t dare speak for other places, but the people that Feng’er arranged for me are all top-notch. Besides, for a rough person like me who has a house to live in and food to eat, there is nothing else to ask for.”
Zhao Lan nodded her head but didn’t speak. After a while, she looked at him and said: “I, I made a light blue robe. I think it suits you, so I bought it and sew it for you.”
Hu Changlin looked happy and hurriedly asked, “Is it done?”
Zhao Lan nodded her head again, as she blushed: “Well, it’s almost done.”
Hu Changlin was happily like a child. He smiled like a fool as he rubbed his hands back and forth: “Then, then, can I try?”
Zhao Lan was about to get up and get it, when the little maidservant on the side, busily said: “Madam, just sit down, this servant will take it.”
Although she has lived in the Dongfang Family Mansion for a while, she was still not accustomed to letting others do things for her. She prefers to do things by herself, do something within her capacity. Doing things can help her stretch her bones and muscles. Sitting like this all day long, made her back stiff.
The maidservant quickly brought the clothes. Zhao Lan’s craftsmanship was very good. Also, she learned some new patterns from the capital these days. The robes she made looked much better than the fashionable styles in the ready-to-wear shops.
Zhao Lan took the robe handed over by the maidservant and stood up to put on Hu Changlin.
The color really matched him, it’s just the waist side seemed to be a little bigger.
Zhao Lan said: “Take it off, I’ll fix it again.”
Hu Changlin refused to take it off: “Forget it, I think it’s fine, no need to fix it. I’ll wear it like this.”
“No, the waist size is a bit big. After I fix it, it will definitely fit better.”
After all, she didn’t measure it. It was all based on her memory. It was already pretty good to have such a result.
Hu Changlin said that he would not take off anything. He wanted to wear it: “I like to wear something a little loose. I won’t take it off, I’ll go back like this.”
Zhao Lan’s face became redder and redder. She lowered her head and said in a low voice: “If you wear it like this, they will laugh at us when they see it.”
Hu Changlin shook his head: “No, those kids are looking forwards to us. How can they laugh at us.”
He looked at Zhao Lan, who was standing in front of him, and somehow he had courage. His blood boiled, and he didn’t feel nervous anymore. He didn’t beat around the bush and said directly: “Zhao Lan, let’s get married.”
These days, when he was separated from Zhao Lan, he wanted to see her every day. The feeling that he had only experienced when he was young has reappeared.
This sentence was not a temporary impulse. It was because he thought about it for a long time and even discussed it with Hu Feng. Hu Feng agreed with him, saying that no matter what outsiders say, as long as he likes it, as long as he can be happy, he will unconditionally support it.
