“I see.”

Chu Jinzhou, who had been hoping for Chu Jinnian to stay at home for a few more days, felt a slight dimming in his vibrant eyes, but he quickly regained his usual calmness.

“Brother, your journey will undoubtedly be arduous. If you were to depart in the evening tomorrow, you might have to push on hard, which could be quite exhausting. Why not set off tomorrow morning instead?”

That way, the journey wouldn’t be rushed and exhausting because of time constraints, and he wouldn’t have to worry constantly.

As for keeping him company, Chu Jinzhou felt that an extra half-day wouldn’t make much difference. Maybe when he grew up, he would be able to work with his brother and they could spend time together, taking care of each other.

After all, Mr. Fan was also there.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jinnian couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

“I don’t quite understand, are you urging for me to leave early because you’re worried about me exhausting myself on the journey or are you afraid that my presence will hinder you from enjoying outings with Mr. Fan?”

“Brother!”

Chu Jinzhou stomped his foot, “Such good intentions to worry about you, yet you make it seem so complicated. Perhaps I should just adopt a ‘hear no evil, see no evil’ attitude towards you in the future?”

“Indeed, what the eldest brother said is truly hurtful.”

Fan Wenxuan also echoed, regaining some dignity for his timid self from the night before.

Chu Jinnian glanced at Fan Wenxuan and then gently patted Chu Jinzhou’s head, laughing, “It’s my misunderstanding. I know your concern for me. If that’s the case, then I’ll follow your suggestion.”

“I’ll reach Shouchun earlier, handle the matters there sooner, and see if I can free up some time so I can take you to the mountains for a couple of days.”

“I heard the spring in Cuiwei Mountain is clear, sweet, and very famous. Additionally, the scenery is exquisite, definitely worth a visit. In about a month, the weather will start to get hot. It would be an excellent opportunity to take refuge from the heat in the mountains.”

“That’s a good idea.” Fan Wenxuan’s eyes brightened.

This scholar of his, besides indulging in food and drink, farming, has a well-known hobby—mountain-climbing and sightseeing.

The idea of going to Cuiwei Mountain raised by Chu Jinnian was in complete accord with Fan Wenxuan’s preference.

Chu Jinzhou, who had been staying at Qingzhuyuan for some time and hardly went out, was also enthusiastic about this proposal and excitedly nodded his head, “Okay, deal.”

“Deal.” Chu Jinnian placed a thin slice of ham onto Chu Jinzhou’s plate.

This Jinhua ham was fragrant and delicious, further complemented by the fresh scent of the celery and the rich, robust flavor of dried tofu. It tasted exceptionally good.

“Eldest Master, please allow me to be blunt. Arc you planning this trip to the mountains to please the Third Young Master, or to please me?”
