Chapter 619: Episode 329 Awkward_2
"Isn’t it just practicing Tai Chi? Who doesn’t know how to do that?"
Scholar Wen, holding his pen and not moving for a long time, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before tentatively asking, "Your relationship with this Boss Song is not that close, right? Should I write this letter with polite detachment? You know, courteous but with a sense of distance. How does that sound?"
Hua Xiaomai almost burst into laughter at his phrase "courteous but with a sense of distance," but she managed to suppress it and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that’s exactly it. Scholar Wen, you truly are the most educated and reasonable person in Fire Knife Village, full of talent!"
Wen Huaren’s face flushed red, and he quickly said, "It’s nothing," and without hesitation, he dipped his pen in ink and started writing, turning Hua Xiaomai’s words into a grand, eloquent letter, which he read back to her.
"If you think there’s no problem, I’ll have Ji Xiang send out the letter in a bit," he said while folding the letter, "Also, you haven’t been to the shop much these past two days; we’ve taken on a few more banquets..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly Han Hu’s voice came from outside.
"Sister-in-law, I’ve brought Uncle Liu from the Zhao family."
Hua Xiaomai looked up at the sound and saw Han Hu standing at the doorway with a broad smile, occasionally lifting his robe to wipe the sweat.
Next to him, gardener Uncle Liu, appeared somewhat impatient, hastily nodded and said, "Where is that chili field? I’ll have someone take me to check it now, I myself have many things to do and can’t delay for long."
Knowing Uncle Liu’s quirky temper and considering he was an elder, Hua Xiaomai didn’t make an issue of his attitude. She quickly called Qing You to guide Uncle Liu to Madame Feng’s field and then she warmly invited Han Hu to sit down and have some tea, to rest for a while.
