Chapter 837: Return to the Capital

Zhulan pulled Jiang Zhu to sit down and then thanked Big Brother Li, "Thank you for taking care of Jiang Zhu on the journey."

Big Brother Li grinned, "Auntie, it's my duty, and besides, Jiang Zhu is an especially sensible child. He even helped me out a lot on the way."

Jiang Zhu was a bit embarrassed; all he did was help Big Uncle Li with his slow accounting.

Zhulan stroked her grandson's hair. The boy was truly shy, his cheeks turning redder. "You mustn't have had lunch coming into the capital at this hour. I've had the kitchen prepare some food. Let's eat first and talk later."

Big Brother Li was indeed a bit hungry. Normally to hurry along the road, he would eat dry rations at midday. Approaching the capital and knowing the journey was not far, he therefore didn't buy any, "You've gone to trouble for me, auntie."

Zhulan waved her hand, "It's only right. Chang Li, take good care of your Big Uncle."

Zhou Shuren, "Mother, don't worry."
