Chapter 777: Du Qingyu's Letter
"Does your hand... hurt?" Du Yan asked.
Zhang Zhaoming smiled, "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't hurt."
How could it not hurt? He had so many bandages on his wounds, and his face was so pale. He must have lost a lot of blood. It must be very painful, right?
Du Yan felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles. If he looked closely, he would find that it was heartache.
"You're so pale, don't stand there, sit down."
Zhang Zhaoming had no choice but to sit down on a chair in the room.
Zhang Zhaoming looked at her panic because of him, and the pain on her body seemed insignificant, and he felt sweet in his heart.
"Ms. Du, did you come here specially to see me?" Zhang Zhaoming stared at her with sparkling eyes.
"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a few days. I was worried that something happened to you. Sure enough..."
"I'm sorry, I got slightly injured while doing something, so I didn't come to see you. I should have told you..." Zhang Zhaoming said with a guilty look on his face.
He had greeted Du Yan that day, and had thought that if she saw that he didn't go, she would know that she was being held up by other things and wouldn't think about anything else. He didn't expect her to be so worried about him. He should have told her so that she would worry for nothing.
"Your hand..." Du Yan looked at his arm with concern.
"It's fine, no bones are broken. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Zhang Zhaoming said nonchalantly, "This injury is really nothing. I've suffered much more serious injuries on the battlefield, like here..."
Zhang Zhaoming pointed to his chest and said, "I was hit by an arrow here, very close to my chest. I was also hit by a knife here, injuring the bone..."
Zhang Zhaoming wanted to say it was a minor injury, but he noticed Du Yan's frown getting closer and closer. He then realized that he had made her even more worried. He quickly stopped talking and said hesitantly, "It's really nothing..."
Zhang Zhaoming talked about other things to divert Du Yan's attention, hoping that she would stop frowning.
Tang Li stood at the gate of Songtao Courtyard and vaguely heard voices coming from inside.
She could hear that Zhang Zhaoming's voice was very gentle. If it was just a guess just now, now she was completely certain that Du Yan and Zhang Zhaoming were interested in each other.
Her second brother's wife was really hopeless, and she even became someone else's favorite.
Tang Li was thinking about her second brother, and her second brother appeared in front of her.
"Second brother." Tang Li called out.
Gu Huaiyu nodded and looked towards the yard, apparently hearing faint voices.
Tang Li observed her brother's face, and saw that her brother had a... aunt's smile?
Her brother always has a smile on his face. His usual smile is cold, but this smile is different!
It’s that kind of auntie smile when you see yourself and your partner become a couple!
Tangli felt like he had seen a ghost!
She used to think that her second brother was cold-hearted and only treated his family members with some specialness. In fact, he also had mood swings.
Tsk tsk, someone who has been solo for over 30 years can actually match people up!
"Zhaoming is also a poor child. I picked him up from the pile of dead bodies. He was young at that time, so I brought him with me as a servant so that he could take care of my daily life and not go to the battlefield. But he was very stubborn and said that he wanted to go to the battlefield to protect me... Later, it was indeed him who saved me and dug me out of the pile of dead bodies. This child lacks love very much. It is not easy to find someone he likes. Very good..." said Gu Huaiyu.
This was the first time Tangli heard her second brother talk so much. He was like an old father and was very pleased.
"Second brother, mother is worried about you too. When will you find me a second sister-in-law?" Tang Li teased.
Gu Huaiyu looked up at the sky: "Is it going to rain today? It's sunny during the day. The weather in May is really changeable."
Tangli: ...
This was a very abrupt change of topic.
Tang Li was just joking and didn't mean to urge her second brother to get married like her mother did. Seeing that her second brother didn't want to say more, she didn't mention it further.
She saw a different side of her second brother and felt that he was more lively and more human.
…
The next day.
Du Yan got up early and worked with the maid for most of the day, finally making a bowl of chicken soup.
"It smells so good, Miss is really amazing." The maid praised.
Du Yan was also very happy. She packed the chicken soup and went out with the lunch box.
Du Yan went to the Gu Mansion. Yesterday, the princess made a call on her behalf and the doorman would let her in. She could go directly to the mansion to find Zhang Zhaoming.
Du Yan followed her memory and came to Songtao Courtyard. She saw Zhang Zhaoming standing at the door, looking outside, as if waiting for someone.
The two of them bumped into each other and looked into each other's eyes.
Du Yan asked, "Waiting for someone?"
Zhang Zhaoming's eyes sparkled: "Waiting for you."
Du Yan's face was a little hot: "Be careful with the wound, don't let it split. I brought you some chicken soup."
The two entered the room, and Du Yan poured out a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Zhang Zhaoming.
"It smells good. I've tasted it. It's not like the last pastry where the sugar wasn't evenly distributed." Du Yan said.
Zhang Zhaoming took it and took a sip. It was really fragrant, especially fragrant. He had never tasted such a delicious soup.
After drinking a bowl, Zhang Zhaoming felt extremely satisfied.
When Du Yan left, Zhang Zhaoming poured himself another bowl and drank it in small sips, reluctant to finish it.
"Are you drinking so slowly? Is it not tasty? Can I help you drink it?" a voice sounded.
Zhang Zhaoming saw a hand reaching out and thought it was going to snatch his soup, so he hurried to protect his food.
In fact, the hand just waved briefly and was quickly retracted.
Zhang Zhaoming raised his head and found that his general was looking at him with a smile. He suddenly felt embarrassed: "General..."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your chicken soup."
"No, all mine belong to the general!" Zhang Zhaoming explained quickly, "It's just..."
It was this soup that he really couldn't bear to part with.
"You are going to get married, and everything you have belongs to her. If you keep saying this, she will be jealous." Gu Huaiyu said with a smile.
"Even if you have a wife, being a general is still important!" Zhang Zhaoming said hurriedly.
"No, I don't want to compete for favor with your wife." Gu Huaiyu said, looking at Zhang Zhaoming with a teasing look.
Only then did Zhang Zhaoming realize that the general was joking with him.
"Just take good care of your injuries and don't worry about anything else." Gu Huaiyu said.
He came to see Zhang Zhaoming, and seeing his cheerful face, he was completely relieved.
In the next few days, Du Yan came to see Zhang Zhaoming every day, and brought various soups, all of which she cooked herself.
Zhang Zhaoming didn’t know whether it was due to the soup or his good physique, but after a few days, his injuries were almost healed.
…
Wu Mansion.
One day, Tangli received a letter.
When Tang Li saw the familiar handwriting, he immediately knew who the letter was from.
It's a bluefin croaker.
Counting the time, she and Du Qingyu haven't seen each other for almost six or seven years, and she doesn't know how they are doing.
In recent years, Du Qingyu took Du Xiaobai on a journey. If they went to a remote place, there would be no news for half a year. But when they went to a prosperous place, there would be a letter every month.
The letter will include some experiences and share some interesting things, but more importantly, it will report that you are safe.
Therefore, Tangli was very happy when he received the letter.
Tang Li opened the letter and looked at its contents. This time the content of the letter was very brief, but Tang Li's eyes widened with joy.
Du Qingyu is going back to the capital!
