Chapter 203 Meeting
He said, "Actually, I passed by here last time, but you just opened your business and must be busy. I want to see you, but I'm afraid you'll think I'm not serious about my job. I want to write you a letter, but I don't know what to write."
Yu Huatang said, "You don't need to write anything to me. Just focus on disaster relief."
"Anyway, since I wrote it to you, you won't read it, right? Just like before." He sat down and said.
Yu Huatang looked at him without answering, but he took advantage of her distraction and kissed her quickly. She was stunned and raised her head. Seeing that she was not angry, he came over again and kissed her directly this time with such force that she could not resist and fell limp in his arms.
After a long time, they separated. She leaned on him to breathe. When she calmed down, he seemed to want to kiss her again. She turned her head away. Zhao Yan only kissed the corner of her mouth, then hugged her and smiled.
At this time, Anfu said outside, "Sir, it's time to set off."
Zhao Yan stood up and said seriously, "Okay, I understand. Go pack your things and prepare some dry food."
Yu Huatang asked, "Aren't we eating here?"
Zhao Yan said, "If we stay, there will definitely be a banquet, and we will have to listen to their flattery again. It will go on and on for hours."
After saying that, he looked at her and said, "It's just that the time is too short this time. I still have a lot to say to you."
Yu Huatang stood up and walked over to him. "There will be time later. You can't always eat dry food. It's not good for your health."
Zhao Yan looked at her happily and said, "Don't worry, this is just this once. I will remember your words."
From here, she could see the people outside were already packing up their things. She thought he was about to leave, so she said, "Then I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, I'll let Xiaolu take you back later. If you're tired, you can rest here for a while and leave later." He came over and instructed.
"Um."
She was about to leave when Zhao Yan stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, I almost forgot."
After saying that, he took out something from his arms. It was a shell with a very beautiful color and the size of a thumb.
He handed it over and said, "I found this at the beach. It's very unique in appearance, and I thought you would like it. Don't underestimate its small size. I can even hear the sound of the sea breeze when I listen to it."
Yu Huatang smiled, took it in his hands, looked at it for a while, and said, "It's quite good. I've never seen anything like it."
Zhao Yan said, "I'll take you to pick it up later when I have time."
Yu Huatang didn't know what to say, she just clenched her palms and smiled faintly, "I'm leaving."
When she returned to the courtyard in the evening, she opened the drawer where the envelope had been kept and took out the things he had sent her from the box.
She lit a lamp and placed a shell beside her. She opened the envelopes one by one and read them by the candlelight.
These were all things that happened to him in the capital. One said that he had met a man with a very unique appearance today and described his appearance in detail.
It is said that one of his officials was slacking off today and he was caught by him, so he pretended not to see it.
He said that he found a delicious rose cake shop in the moat and would take her there next time.
The last letter said that he missed her very much and wanted to talk to her, but she was not around and he didn't know if she had the time.
She gently lay on the table, holding the last letter and reading it for a long time, then looked at the clothes next to it. These were sent by him a long time ago, saying that they were made according to her size. She didn't want to give them away at the time, let alone throw them away casually, so she just put them there. Now when she took them out again, they were still brand new.
She stood up and took off her clothes. It was a very beautiful butterfly dance dress. She put it on gently and looked at her current appearance in the mirror.
In fact, she has paid little attention to her appearance or what to wear in recent years. Now, compared to her seventeen-year-old self, the image in the mirror has changed a lot, and is more calm and composed.
A few days later, when she put on this dress, she no longer felt the fear she had before, but was filled with sweetness and anticipation.
It was not until the end of August that Xiaolu delivered the first letter of the year.
The letter is from Zhao Yan.
She thanked Xiaolu and waited until everyone in the shop went to eat at noon, then she returned to her room and opened it.
When I opened it, there was another letter.
She was puzzled and looked at the seal on it. It was sent from the capital, so it was his letter home. Why would he write to her?
She opened it and found the words from Prime Minister Zhao.
The letter explained that his parents were now old, and that it was up to him to decide who to marry and what career path to pursue; they would no longer interfere. As for whether or not to return to the capital in the future, that was also his decision. However, Prime Minister Zhao suggested that Zhao Yan would definitely return to the capital next spring, and that it would be best to arrange the marriage then. He also instructed him to hurry up, as Madam Zhao was anxious to have their horoscopes matched.
Yu Huatang understood that this was Zhao Yan's way of proving his determination to her.
But this is too fast. He has received a letter from home now. Doesn't that mean he has already written back the first time he met me?
The letter said that the wedding would be held next spring, and there were only five months left. Everything happened so suddenly that she felt a little confused.
By September, the weather had finally stopped raining, and the weather remained sunny for half a month. The people who had originally been settled here also moved to other places with the government office. It was said that they rented temporary housing with funds allocated by the court.
Rebuilding houses will take time, and these people cannot live in straw huts forever. They cannot survive the cold winter.
Everything has returned to normal, the broken dam is being repaired, and the dark clouds that once hung over the faces of the people have finally dissipated.
A few days later, Zhao Yan suddenly came back.
That day, Yu Huatang was demonstrating to several apprentices. Anfu came and insisted that she go out for a while. She followed him out and saw Zhao Yan standing by the wall at a glance.
The two hadn't seen each other for many days, and that unfamiliar and awkward feeling came back. She didn't know why. Then he asked, "I have a day off tomorrow. Are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Yan smiled, "Nothing, I just want you to accompany me for a day, or go out for fun."
Yu Huatang hesitated and said, "But I have an appointment with a master tomorrow. I want to visit him."
"Well, I happen to have two days. I'll go with you," he said.
She said, "But there's nothing to see there. I'll go ask the master some questions, but it might be a bit boring. You only have two days, don't you want to rest well?"
He said, "That's perfect. I'll keep you company. Or do you not want to go out with me?"
She shook her head, "That's not the case..." She just felt that it was her own business, and that letting him follow her for no reason was a waste of his time.
"That's all right," Zhao Yan said. "I'll come see you tomorrow morning. Now... can you have a meal with me?"
Yu Huatang glanced at the shop and asked, "But the food in the shop is ready?"
"Will you take me in to eat?" he asked.
