"Lad Meng, it is truly hard work for you to look after me at Uncle Gu’s request. Once I am recovered, I will head up the mountain and hunt some game for you!" Father Gu really did not know what to say; having a young man from a high-status family wait on a peasant like him—especially when this lad was used to being served by a whole troop of people whenever he went out—felt quite strange.
"Uncle Gu, this is only right. Once I marry Ranran, you will be my father, too. How could it be considered hard work to look after one’s own father?" Chu Hengyuan said, speaking his mind.
"Hold it right there, lad! We haven't even written the betrothal papers yet, so don't you go calling yourself my son. Let me tell you, don’t think that just because you are here taking care of me, I’m so touched I’ve lost my sense of direction. Unless you bring a matchmaker here one day with the three letters and six rites, don't even think about setting your sights on my daughter. There’s absolutely no chance." Though his leg pained him terribly, Father Gu’s mind remained exceptionally sharp.
