Chapter 534: Missing someone from afar (Part 1)
Ye Chutang's heart moved.
"parking."
The carriage stopped quickly and the servant ran over and handed over the letter with both hands.
Because he ran so fast, his face turned red, and he pinched his waist and panted heavily: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come back from the palace before giving you the letter, but seeing that you didn't reply for a long time, I thought of coming out to check, and sure enough, I received you!"
He grinned and said, "Take a look! It says that you must open it in person!"
Everyone in the Ye family knew that A Yan and A Feng were the closest to Ye Chutang, especially A Feng. It had been a long time since they last saw each other, and this was the first letter he had sent back. Needless to say, it was extremely precious.
Ye Chutang did waste a lot of time in the palace. She did not explain too much at this time and took the letter.
There were four big words written on the envelope: Dear sister.
Ye Chutang smiled.
"This kid actually knows how to write back."
After hearing this, Xiao Wu finally reacted and rushed to Ye Chutang, leaning on her shoulder. He opened his big eyes like black grapes and looked at the letter with curiosity and excitement.
——Letter! This is the first letter that my fourth brother sent back!
Ye Chutang held her in his arms so that they could read it together, and then he slowly opened the envelope.
She pulled out the letter paper, and there were actually three sheets in total.
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Normally that brat was unwilling to write even a single word, and asking him to read and write was like torture. Unexpectedly, he actually filled three pages with this letter.
She unfolded the letter and what caught her eye were the extremely familiar large, flamboyant handwriting.
The first time I saw these words, it was as if I saw that unrestrained and flamboyant young man.
Ye Chutang's eyes swept across it carefully, without missing a single word.
The letter was written in a very eloquent manner, and Ah Feng seemed to have endless things to say. He said that he had just arrived at the border and was very curious. The food and drinks in Xiacheng were different from those in the capital and also different from those in Jiangling.
He particularly likes the oven-baked pancakes from a certain restaurant and says it's a pity that Xiaowu can't have them.
He also said that the enemy attacked on a small scale the day after he arrived. The commander had originally asked him to be in charge of logistics, but he insisted on going to the front line. Feng Zhang could not persuade him, so he let him go. As a result, he actually killed three enemies, which impressed Feng Zhang and the soldiers who thought he was just a young man.
There was an undisguised arrogance in his words.
"I was taught by my elder sister, how could I be afraid?!"
Ye Chutang's gaze lingered on it for a long time.
Although Afeng spoke simply and only briefly mentioned it, he was only fourteen years old after all.
That was his first time on the battlefield and his first time killing someone.
Many people cannot stand such a shock, and may suffer from nightmares, vomiting, or be unable to calm down for a long time. It takes some time to adapt.
But Afeng didn't say a word about these.
The paper was rough and yellowed, with a faint smell of cheap ink.
Xiacheng is located in a remote area and has a shortage of supplies, so it certainly can't use any good things.
Touching the thin paper, Ye Chutang seemed to be able to feel the sand in the sky, the rough stones, and the wild north wind.
Afeng also spent a lot of time and effort to show off how useful the things Ye Chutang had specially prepared for him were, especially the medicine for wounds, which healed quickly after applying them.
It is excellent at stopping bleeding, relieving pain and healing wounds.
Many people in the military camp asked him where he got this good stuff, and he just said that it was developed by his sister herself and was the only one of its kind.
He is reluctant to give it to others.
Ye Chutang read it page by page, and saw that at the end of the letter, Afeng actually wrote a special paragraph to Ayan.
"By the way, Third Brother, I am already considered a learned man here. I have even accepted several students and taught them how to read and write! What do you think? Am I awesome?"
Xiaowu also saw it, opened his eyes wide, and clapped in amazement.
——Fourth brother is awesome! He’s even a teacher now!
Ye Chutang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She shook the letter and said jokingly, "Tian Ji's horse race has taught your fourth brother a lesson."
Many soldiers guarding the border came from poor families, had little education, and were naturally illiterate.
When Afeng went there, he was considered to be educated.
He has the nerve to brag about himself.
Pah.
Suddenly something fell out of the envelope.
Ye Chutang looked down and saw Xiaowu had already picked it up quickly.
Ye Chutang looked closely and found that it was actually a small grasshopper woven out of hay, only as big as a little finger, but lifelike.
Xiaowu opened the wings curiously and saw a line of small words written on them.
"Exclusive to Xiaowu."
This was specially given to her by her fourth brother!
Xiao Wu was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He carefully held the little grasshopper and gave it to Ye Chutang.
— Look, sister! This is made by my fourth brother himself! He gave it to me!
Ye Chutang sighed softly.
As expected, he is always so straightforward. It's rare that he gives a thoughtful gift. Wouldn't it be more adorable if he gave it a little rabbit or a sparrow?
However, this does not stop Xiaowu from liking it.
Her eyes seemed to be glued to it and she couldn't see enough of it.
——Fourth brother is so skillful! Fourth brother is so amazing!
Ye Chutang: “…”
Okay.
There is probably no child in the world who is easier to please than Xiaowu.
Ye Chutang folded the letter again, put it in his arms, and looked at the servant again.
"Go back to the butler to claim your reward."
The servant was very surprised and thanked him repeatedly.
Ye Chutang had always been very kind to the maids and servants in the mansion, and was very generous with his money. Not only did he give them high monthly wages, he also often gave them benefits and rewards.
Therefore, everyone in the mansion is very dedicated and responsible, just hoping that the Ye family can live a better life.
It was obvious that Afeng's letter was sent back in a hurry.
There was not a single word of missing someone in the letter, but it was full of concern.
Ye Chutang was also in a trance for a moment. Afeng had never been away from them for so long.
I don’t feel it normally, but when I suddenly thought of him, I actually missed him a little.
Xiaowu also put the straw grasshopper into his purse with great care.
Ye Chutang saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help laughing.
This little girl usually treasures silver so much. She has seen a lot of good things before, but now when she sees this little grasshopper, she finds it more precious than all the other things.
If Afeng finds out about this, I don’t know how proud he will be.
The carriage continued to move forward and soon arrived at the door of the house.
Ye Chutang got off the carriage and turned around to pick up Xiaowu, but saw that Xiaowu had already lifted the curtain and came out holding the door frame.
Ye Chutang's eyes moved slightly.
The subtle feeling just now came to her mind again, making her fall into deep thought.
Noticing that she was standing there motionless, Xiaowu looked up curiously, a little confused.
——Sister, what’s wrong?
If it was just a guess before, then seeing this scene now, Ye Chutang was almost certain -
Xiaowu seems to no longer be afraid of riding in a carriage?
