Chapter 778: The Du Family Siblings Enter Beijing
In the evening, Tang Li told Wei Qing the news that Du Qingyu was returning to Beijing. Her face was full of joy and anticipation. It was obvious that she missed her good friend very much and couldn't wait to meet her.
Wei Qing was happy to see her happy, and he was happy too. His wife didn't have many close friends, and Du Qingyu was one of them.
The day mentioned in Du Qingyu's letter about returning to the capital soon arrived. On this day, Wei Qing took a day off and accompanied Tang Li to wait at the city gate.
Because they didn't know the exact time Du Qingyu would return to Beijing, the two sat in a teahouse at the city gate.
Wei Qing took off the Regent's dragon robe and put on ordinary clothes, and he and Tang Li were just like an ordinary couple. He said some funny things, which made Tang Li smile. The two of them sat in the teahouse and did not feel bored.
Tangli felt that this kind of leisurely life was really good. Her husband often said that when the time came, he would take her to retire or travel. Tangli didn't say anything, but she was actually looking forward to it in her heart.
Tang Li looked towards the city gate from time to time. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and then she stood up, pulled Wei Qing and walked out of the teahouse.
I saw two people coming side by side with their horses. One of them was dressed in men's clothes, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, like a graceful and elegant young man.
Tangli knew that she was not a man, but a woman, Du Qingyu. Five or six years had passed, and Du Qingyu seemed to have not changed much, still as high-spirited and energetic as before.
Du Qingyu also saw Tangli. She threw the reins to the person next to her, walked quickly towards Tangli, and hugged her tightly!
Du Qingyu was wearing men's clothes and was taller than Tang Li. The two of them hugged each other tightly on the street, just like a young couple who met again after a long separation and were unable to control their feelings.
Wei Qing looked at Du Qingyu's hand on his wife's waist, feeling jealous. He told himself over and over again that Du Qingyu was a girl and the vinegar was not tasty.
After a while, seeing that Du Qingyu still didn't let go of his wife, Wei Qing couldn't help coughing.
Du Qingyu finally let go of Tang Li, but did not let her go. He hooked his hands around her waist and looked at Wei Qing.
"Brother Wei, have you gained weight? Are you getting fat as you get older?" Du Qingyu asked.
Wei Qing's face darkened and he stared at Du Qingyu: "You've also gotten tanned. You look ten years older."
Tang Li held his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache. It seemed that these two people disliked each other since the first time they met, and they kept arguing with each other. He didn't expect that they would still be the same when they met again after many years.
The two of them exchanged a few words, and Tang Li interrupted them. The two of them looked at her at the same time, and their expressions became extremely gentle.
"Qingyu is my good sister, don't be jealous." Tangli warned Wei Qing.
Du Qingyu suddenly felt that he had won a game, raised his chin, and was very proud.
"Qingyu, shouldn't you give some face to your good sister's husband?" Tangli said to Du Qingyu again.
Du Qingyu nodded obediently.
Wei Qing had been hanging his head due to being scolded by Tang Li, but he became happy again after hearing this.
His wife still protects him!
Tang Li was stunned when he saw the young man following Du Qingyu closely.
"Is this Xiaobai?"
In Tangli's memory, Du Xiaobai was a white, chubby little foodie, but the boy in front of him was slender and tall, almost as tall as Du Qingyu, with his hair tied up, a gentle temperament, delicate features, and a childish face. He was definitely a handsome boy.
He was a little shy. He looked at Tangli and smiled, revealing his two little fangs, which made him look a little cute.
"Sister Tang." Du Xiaobai called.
The boy's voice is clear and pleasant to the ear.
It turned out to be Du Xiaobai. This boy has changed a lot since he grew up. If he hadn't been with Du Qingyu, Tang Li really wouldn't have recognized him.
Du Xiaobai greeted Wei Qing again and politely called him brother-in-law.
"Let's go home." Tang Li said.
The four returned to Wu Mansion.
Tang Li had already arranged accommodation for Du Qingyu and Du Xiaobai, a quiet courtyard, because she knew that Du Qingyu liked quietness.
After entering the Wu Mansion and on the way to the courtyard where he lived, Du Xiaobai's eyes were rolling around, as if he was looking for someone.
He couldn't help but ask Tang Li: "Sister Tang, where is Sanbao?"
"Sanbao is not at home. She is still in her hometown and has not come back yet." Tangli said.
Du Xiaobai's loss was visibly evident.
Du Xiaobai had been out there for many years, seeing many people and things, and making new friends. But Sanbao, his childhood friend, was different.
Ever since he knew that his sister was going to take him back to Beijing, Du Xiaobai's heart was full of anticipation, looking forward to meeting Sanbao.
He never expected that Sanbao was not at home.
The more you expect, the more disappointed you will be.
"Where are Zi'ang and Xu Jue?" Du Qingyu asked his two beloved disciples.
"Zi'ang and Xu Jue have been sent out to serve as officials." Tang Li said.
Du Qingyu was also a little disappointed that he could not see his two beloved disciples.
When she learned that her two apprentices had been away for less than two months, she thought, it would have been great if they had come back earlier. It was such an unfortunate coincidence.
As they were talking, they arrived at the yard prepared for the siblings.
"You've traveled for such a long time, take a shower first, and then have dinner." Tang Li said.
The hot water was ready. Tang Li gave an order and the servants brought it.
Du Qingyu and Du Xiaobai were taking a bath, so Wei Qing naturally took this opportunity to stick to Tang Li.
Otherwise, when Du Qingyu comes, he will compete with him for the person.
Wei Qing was right. After Du Qingyu and Du Xiaobai finished their baths, Tang Li took them to dinner. During the meal, Du Qingyu kept clinging to Tang Li. At the table, she even asked Tang Li to pick some food for her.
"How old is the black fish?" Wei Qing asked with concern.
Du Qingyu looked at Wei Qing and always felt that he was not so kind and must have bad intentions, so he did not answer.
Tangli calculated Du Qingyu's age and found that he was one year older than himself, so he was twenty-seven this year.
"It's time to get married, wife. You have to help your sisters keep an eye on the marriageable men in the capital." Wei Qing said.
The job of picking up food should be done by men, how can you let your wife do it?
Wei Qing was secretly planning something bad. If Du Qingyu had a lover, he wouldn't be pestering his wife.
"Brother Wei, you don't have to worry about this. I have no intention of getting married. I want to be free and easy on my own and don't want to be confined by the cage of home." Du Qingyu said.
Her meaning was very clear, she didn't want to get married.
"Qingyu, you can't be too absolute about this. You say you can't get married only because you haven't met a man who makes your heart beat." Wei Qing said.
"There is no man who can make my heart beat faster. The only man who can make my heart beat faster is..." Du Qingyu said, looking at Tang Li with eyes that became affectionate. "Xiao Li, I want to eat spareribs. Give me a piece."
Tangli and Du Qingyu meet again after a long separation, and Tangli almost grants all her requests.
Wei Qing who was standing next to him was very angry.
Du Qingyu was on a long journey and felt a little sleepy after eating, so he finally let Tangli go.
Wei Qing was able to get close to her and tried various ways to persuade Tang Li to find a suitable man for Du Qingyu.
"Wife, I think our second brother is good. We are both talented and good-looking, a perfect match. Doesn't second brother like playing chess? I remember Qingyu is also an excellent chess player. We are a perfect match." The more Wei Qing spoke, the more he felt that it made sense.
Tang Li, however, felt that her husband was matchmaking her up at random.
Her second brother seemed to have no interest in women and no intention of getting married, and Qingyu was also not interested in men and didn't want to get married. The two of them were like two insulators, so how could they possibly be together?
When it comes to relationships, if both parties are interested, at least one party needs to take the initiative, right?
For someone like her second brother, he would need at least a passionate girl to warm him up, right?
