After the door opened, Hua Yuan'er rushed out, quickly ran to Wu Tao before stopping, staring at her closely, and then took her into his arms: "Su Su, I knew it.
It's you, I know you're not dead."
"Brother Yuan'er." Wu Tao responded in a low voice with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, Tang Ji looked at the two of them blankly, and the brush in his hand fell on the paper because he didn't hold it firmly.
Hua Yuan'er's eyes became moist, and soon, two lines of clear tears fell down his cheeks, and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, my family suffered a disaster that year, and I was taken away by my adoptive father. I went back after half a year.
But I heard that my uncle provoked those evil thieves in order to avenge our family. In the end, your whole family was harmed... I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect..."
Wu Tao sobbed and shook her head: "Back then, my mother knew that our family was in danger, so she hid me in the backyard, but in the end those people saw me, and they sold me to a brothel. Fortunately, my father rescued me.
Next, he treats me like his own son and is very kind to me. I didn’t expect that you, Brother Yuan’er, are still alive.”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Hua Yuan'er murmured and repeated these words, but his hands hugged her tighter.
Wu Tao lay on his shoulder and whispered: "Brother Yuan'er, you don't have to blame yourself. I have never blamed you. If you want to blame, I must blame those evil thieves. Brother Yuan'er, you are now very powerful in martial arts. If you meet them again,
We will definitely kill them all."
Hua Yuan'er nodded, his voice trembling: "Kill them, my foster father has already eliminated them all for me..."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Tang Ji also understood what was going on. No wonder the boy looked at each other like that yesterday. It seemed that this was the intuition of his childhood sweetheart. The next second, he found that Wu Tao's face changed.
Turning red, she noticed that Hua Yuan'er was about to crush her, and quickly reminded her: "Hey, hey, if you don't let go, your newly recognized little Qingmei's life will really be in jeopardy!"
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er also reacted, quickly released her hand, held Wu Tao's shoulders with both hands, took a half step back, stared at her with his head down, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "I have been to Shuozhou before, that's right.
I haven’t come to Liu County yet, but fortunately I chose to come here with Tang Ji this time. Su Su, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will dare to hurt you again!”
Wu Tao blinked twice and nodded: "When I heard you say your name yesterday, I was still wondering if it was the same person, because you have changed so much, until I saw the name you left on the dining table.
That purse, I'm sure..."
...
the night before.
As the dinner was coming to an end, Hua Yuan'er took out the purse that she had worn all year round from the secret pocket on her chest, put it in her hand and fumbled for a few times, then looked at the woman opposite and murmured: "Although it has been fifteen years,
Years ago, your appearance has always been engraved in my heart, but how could there be two people so similar in this world, Susu...is it you?"
Cheng Tie, who was sitting next to him with his face flushed from drinking, suddenly grabbed his arm: "Xiaohua, what are you muttering about here? Do you like this girl from the Wu family? If you do, hurry up and get up.
, this little girl is pretty good-looking, she will definitely be worthy of being a wife, don’t be embarrassed, just give it a try!"
"Try..." Hua Yuan'er looked down at her purse again.
This purse was embroidered by Susu and Aunt Yu together. Even if she doesn't recognize me, she will definitely remember this purse!
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and made up his mind: "Brother Cheng Tie, I know!"
"It's good to know, it's good to know!" Cheng Tie giggled a few times, then lay down on the dining table and fell asleep.
Soon after, the dinner ended and everyone walked out the door together. Hua Yuan'er deliberately stayed at the last one while eating the food. Then he touched his purse a few more times, put it on the table, and quickly chased after him: "
Hey, wait for me."
This scene was caught by the maid standing next to her. She was a little curious. Did the man tap the table and drop his purse without even noticing?
But without thinking much, she quickly picked up her purse and chased after him: "Master, Master, your purse."
Unexpectedly, when he heard her call, Hua Yuan'er, who had already run a certain distance, accelerated again and disappeared without a trace in a flash.
The little maid panted heavily and almost cursed, but considering the other person's status as a guest, she finally endured it and prepared to deliver the purse to him later, but when she was about to turn around, she was stopped by Wu Tao next to her.
Come down and stand up quickly: "Miss."
Wu Tao stared at the purse in her hand: "What is this purse?"
"Oh, it was the young master who left it behind. I will send it to him later." The little maid immediately replied.
"No, leave it to me. After all, he is a guest. I can just send it to him later." Wu Tao shook his head slightly, then took the purse from the other party's hand, looking at the colorful appearance of the purse, and the embroidery on the bottom.
With the word "Su", she immediately confirmed the other party's identity, her eyes flashed with white light, and she raised her eyes to look in the direction in which the other party left.
Both Wu Chengyun and his son drank a lot, but the former's consciousness was still clear and he casually asked: "Tao'er, what's wrong?"
Wu Tao quickly put away her purse, forced a smile on her face, and shook her head: "It's okay, dad, why are you and your brother drinking so much again? I'll take you back to your room!"
"Hahaha, I'm so happy, my good daughter and stupid son have grown up!" Wu Chengyun patted her head dotingly, and then walked slowly towards the main courtyard.
...
Time was pulled back to the present. After listening to Wu Tao's words, Hua Yuan'er sighed: "I also wanted to make a bet last night to see if you were Su Su. Now it seems that I won the bet."
Wu Tao took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, then remembered what he had just said, and suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Ji who was sitting next to him with an aunt's smile on his face: "You, you are Tang Ji, the poet with unparalleled poetry.
The most talented man in the Ning Kingdom, yes, and the Jiedushi who recently got rid of the traitors and regained Yingzhou?"
Tang Ji raised a finger to his lips and nodded slightly: "My coming to Shuozhou this time is a secret. I hope Miss Wu will not spread the news. Also, I am the envoy of the Jiedushi Dynasty."
Wu Tao's body was a little stiff, and then she knelt down and said, "The daughter of the people pays homage to Mr. Tang."
Hua Yuan'er quickly helped her up: "It's okay, he is my younger brother. You don't have to kneel to him in the future. Also, when the war over at the border is over, I can become a high official, so you don't have to be afraid.
Anyone!"
Tang Ji sneered: "I remember someone said before that being an official restricts freedom, right?"
"Shut up!" Hua Yuan'er glared at him, then looked at Wu Tao in front of him again, holding her hand: "Susu, you, you still remember us..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a servant in gray clothes rushed in quickly. He noticed that his young lady was so close to an outsider. He forgot his words for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and said hurriedly:
"Miss, why are you here? Let me look for you!"
Hearing this, Wu Tao quickly retracted his hand, turned around and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
The servant raised his hand and pointed to the archway, and explained in a panic: "The Master of the Chen family came to the door with his betrothal gift and said that he wants to marry you. The master and the young master are negotiating with him in the lobby. The situation is not optimistic. The young man is here.
I just came here to report to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Wu Tao could reply, Hua Yuan'er, who was standing behind her, changed his expression and shouted angrily: "Let's see if I don't break the three legs of that man named Chen. Let's see if he dares to do anything."
This idea!"
After saying that, he raised his feet and walked towards the arch.
Seeing this, Tang Ji stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Hey, hey, hey, be sensible and don't be impulsive!"
