Blue Eagle nodded and handed the letter to Lan Ruozhu. The latter put down the documents and opened the letter to read it. After reading the letter, he learned of the Su Teng Village New Year traditions.
He felt like he was there as he read Luo Jin’an’s letter. However, he became wide-eyed when he read about Shen Mohen.
Lan Ruozhu had information on the various families and forces. This information helped him grasp the situation better. He knew of the Shen family’s experiences and internal struggles.
However, the Shen family’s patriarch had sealed off some details from the outside world. Others only thought Shen Qiuhui’s siblings were dead. No one knew he had been looking for his sister, Shen Qiuhua.
None expected her to be living in Su Teng Village. From the looks of it, Shen Qiuhua had an extraordinary background. However, it was good that many people doted on her.
Shen Qiuhui only wanted his sister to be happy while he handled other matters.
After thoroughly reading the letter, Lan Ruozhu wrote a reply and tied it to Su Binglan’s eagle to send to Su Teng Village. The eagle was intelligent and understood its orders.
Lan Ruozhu looked at the soaring eagle and pondered his relaxing time in Su Teng Village.
Su Binglan slept in the afternoon and felt refreshed after waking up. She stretched and felt the blanket’s warmth. She did not want to leave bed and felt like lazing around, especially when she saw Luo Jin’an there.
Afterward, she realized he was sound asleep. He looked charming even when asleep, as his long black hair flowed down the pillow. Su Binglan caressed Luo Jin’an’s face as she looked at him.
She admired his fair skin and long eyelashes, reaching out to touch them. However, Luo Jin’an opened his eyes and met his wife’s gaze. Su Binglan quickly sat up, asking, “You… Are you awake?”
Luo Jin’an held her hand. “Did you have fun?”
“What do you mean?” Su Binglan felt guilty after being caught by her husband.
Luo Jin’an found her expression adorable. He was most concerned about whether or not his wife had a good rest. , so he asked, “Did you sleep well?” Su Binglan nodded. “Yes, I slept for the entire afternoon.”
Luo Jin’an observed her face and realized she was telling the truth from her energetic demeanor.
Su Binglan rubbed her eyes and looked at Luo Jin’an. She was concerned about him and asked, “How did you sleep?”
“Perfectly,” Luo Jin’an answered with a smile. After all, he could always relax and sleep well beside her.
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Su Binglan asked softly.
“I’ll eat whatever you want,” Luo Jin ‘an said gently.
“Your taste is the same as mine?”
Luo Jin’an agreed because he was not picky about food. When he guarded the border or fought, he and his soldiers would have to eat tree bark whenever they ran out of food. Therefore, he was happy to have actual food to eat.
He was grateful for his food because of how much he had suffered in the past, not to mention how delicious the Su family’s food was. There was nothing he could be picky about.
Su Binglan wanted to cook something nice for her husband, so she took some time to think about what to make for dinner. She considered many delicacies, but she did not have the needed ingredients.
After some thought, she said, “Why don’t we go to the mountain to look? We might find something good.”
She was enthusiastic as she spoke.
Luo Jin’an laughed when he saw his wife’s expression. He said, “You’re so energetic now. It’s already so late and cold at night, especially since it’s winter. Do you genuinely want to go to the mountain?”
He wanted to pamper her and join her in whatever she wanted to do. However, it was cold and almost dark outside. He feared she would catch a cold. Su Binglan frowned and looked into his eyes, asking, “Don’t you want to go?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to. If you want to go, I’ll go with you.” Luo Jin’an would be worried if Su Binglan went to the mountain alone,
“All right then, we’ll head to the mountain to see if there’s anything good.” Su Binglan suspected she would discover something. After all, it had been a while since she had gone to the mountain.
She felt the mountain was like a treasure trove. Moreover, the temperature there differed from elsewhere. Therefore, things that could not grow elsewhere could grow in the dense forest behind the mountain.
“All right.” Luo Jin’an nodded.
The house was still quiet when the young couple left. Su Binglan knew her parents needed to catch up on sleep, so she did not tell anyone before going to the mountain with baskets in tow.
As they walked, Su Binglan said, “l remember feeling something at Black Mountain Forest when we were at the border. I could feel something good in the area, but we had little time.
“l could’ve found valuable things if I had stayed there longer. I want to go there again after winter.”
Not only did she want to explore the area, but she also wanted to build a hawthorn canning factory there. Then, she could produce many delicacies with the hawthorns.
Moreover, the border’s geographical location was excellent. It had the potential to be a transportation hub. Hence, the local area would prosper if Su Binglan could develop the economy there.
“That’s good,” Luo Jin’an said. Of course, he would accompany her if she wanted to go there.
‘Perhaps the border could also become Ruozhu’s territory when the weather gets warmer at the start of spring. Then, it would be safer to build a factory there..
