Chapter Forty-Eight: Acceptance and Departure
"Hmph, of course", Tang Qingling raised his head proudly.
"Then you tell me how you treat him, I also learn, he is a person who is really annoying sometimes", Tang Qingling was amused by Gu Yanting's teasing tone.
"It turns out that Brother Chengbei is so unlikable"
"Hmm", Gu Yanting's 'um' was very firm.
"Then I'll give you a gift tomorrow."
"What a gift", Gu Yanting was very happy
"Needle"
"Needle!"
"Well, the needle of guilt, Brother Chengbei is terrible about it, I use this every time to scare him"
"Haha, so that's the case", Gu Yanting smiled very happily.
"But once, Brother Chengbei was really annoying"
"What's wrong?"
"He's annoying that he lost my pony puppet"
"Is it the same puppet as the one in the inn?" , Gu Yanting remembered the incident of the inn that day.
"Hmm", Tang Qingling lay on the railing, completely devoid of the interest just now.
"He's a pig-headed and doesn't remember, and I'm! If you believe in a pig, then I'm also a pig," Tang Qingling said with a depressed face.
"What's going on?" Gu Yanting was a little curious, he wanted to know Tang Qingling's past, especially those common memories with Mo Chengbei.
"Actually, I blame myself, I was injured when I was a child"
"Hurt?"
"Well, after the injury, I couldn't see for a long time, and it was really boring to be alone at home. I secretly followed Brother Chengbei and sneaked out to play, hehe, and I love to meddle in things", Tang Qingling smiled mischievously.
"That's all right, is he still taking you out to run around?" , Gu Yanting's tone was serious like an old man.
"Gu Gongzi, your tone is exactly the same as that of your father-in-law, like an old man", Tang Qingling deliberately learned to brush Mo Zhiyuan's beard and speak in a thick voice.
"Do I look like an old man?"
"Hmm~~, it's not very similar"
"It's not very much like that! What is the meaning? ”
"Don't you think you're a little too serious?"
"Am I serious?"
"For a little bit, during the time we met, you laughed once, and that time I tried my best to tease, in fact, you should laugh more, you laugh quite well", Tang Qingling smiled a little embarrassedly.
Tang Qingling didn't know that as long as she appeared in Gu Yanting's eyes and mind, he would be smiling.
"Then I'll have to smile more in the future."
"Well, that's right!"
"Miss Tang, what happened that time?"
"Oh, in fact, that time I begged Brother Chengbei to take me out to play, it was too boring to stay at home during that time, before Brother Chengbei returned to the north, my father and father-in-law were very busy, and I was only a child at home, no one played with me, only the little pony puppet accompanied me every day, so I was used to taking it with me at any time, after Brother Chengbei came back, someone finally accompanied me"
"Has Chengbei been with you all the time during that time?"
"Well, fortunately there was Brother Chengbei at that time, only he was with me all the time, at that time, he was sometimes so quiet, he could only sit with me all day and listen to me", in retrospect, Tang Qingling was really grateful to have Mo Chengbei with him during that time.
"Is it like this?" At this time, Gu Yanting felt very uncomfortable, not so much jealousy, but envy, he was very envious that Mo Chengbei could always be by Tang Qingling's side when she needed someone to accompany her the most, but he could only miss it.
"Well, when I slipped out to play with Brother Chengbei that day, I happened to meet a child who was bullied, and the two of us took a fight, of course, it was mainly him, I was only responsible for protecting the bullied child, the puppet was dropped at that time, and the most infuriating thing was", Tang Qingling was really angry, and knocked on the railing.
"When I found out, Brother Chengbei said to help me go back and find it, let me wait for him with the child for a while, but he brought me back a similar one, I was stupid to think it was my one, and with a feeling of being lost and regained, I took the puppet and the child back to the hospital together."
"Did you bring that kid back to the infirmary as well?"
"Well, that child is about to leave, and Jiang Li is an orphan and helpless, a person who lives on the street and is bullied."
"So You Took Him In"
"Well, my father saw that Jiang Li was quite clever, so he took him as an apprentice to teach him medical skills, Jiang Li is very powerful now, and there is basically no problem with seeing some ordinary diseases"
"Dr. Tang should have a headache."
"Ahh
"I have a daughter who likes to go to the hospital to receive people"
"It seems to be", Tang Qingling smiled happily.
"It's just a pity that my puppet, that one was given to me by my father and said that it was left by my mother, and that was the only thing my mother left me."
"Ling'er's mother......?"
"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and I never saw my mother."
Although Tang Qingling is a very optimistic girl, she will still be sad when she mentions her mother-in-law who she has never met: "I'm sorry" Gu Yanting was very sorry and mentioned Tang Qingling's sadness.
"It's okay, it was a long time ago, although I have never seen my mother, I will have some regrets, but I know that my mother must love me, she just stayed by my side and looked at me in a different way, as long as I haven't forgotten her, she will always live in my heart"
"Ling'er", Gu Yanting called softly with pity.
"Gu Gongzi, don't talk about me, why don't you talk about you"
"Me!"
"Well, I also want to know about Gu Gongzi", Tang Qingling said a little shyly.
"Then my story is not as interesting as yours"
"If it's not interesting, you'll know if it's interesting, if it's not interesting, you should coax me to sleep"
"Maybe it's going to be a lullaby"
"Then try it", Tang Qingling really lay on the railing and pretended to sleep, Gu Yanting was amused by her appearance.
'Ling'er, with you, how could I not smile', Gu Yanting thought in his heart, he told Tang Qingling about his martial arts practice with his master when he was a child, the martial arts test, the commander of the armor guard, and several major events in his life on this expedition, and he couldn't show everything he had to Tang Qingling.
"Miss Tang, I will follow the army the day after tomorrow, even if everything goes well, it will be a few months before I come back, do you want to ...... Are you willing to wait for me? ...... with me Come with me...... Let's go back to the capital together."
Gu Yanting finally said what he wanted to say, but he didn't get a response from Tang Qingling for a long time.
"Miss Tang, if you don't want to, you can ...... Yes, when I ...... When I didn't say it", Gu Yanting was very nervous, especially afraid of getting a negative answer, Gu Yanting, who had seen countless big scenes, had never been so uneasy.
After a while, Gu Yanting, who still didn't get a response, couldn't help but glance back, and saw Tang Qingling lying quietly on the railing, leaning forward and calling softly: "Miss Tang, Miss Tang ......", Gu Yanting sighed and smiled.
"I'm really asleep", Gu Yanting quietly looked at Tang Qingling's sleeping face, so comfortable and defenseless.
Gu Yanting gently tidied up some of the hair on Tang Qingling's face, carefully as if he were treating a rare treasure.
"Gu Gongzi, your hands are not good yet, be careful"
"The silly girl still thinks about others in her dreams", Gu Yanting said disgusted words in his mouth, but his heart blossomed, he didn't expect Tang Qingling to dream of himself.
"Gu Gongzi", seeing that it was late at night, Aunt Qing went to Ningfang Pavilion to serve Tang Qingling to rest, and saw the two of them sitting in the pavilion, and Tang Qingling had fallen asleep on the railing.
"Miss, ...... this?"
"Be quiet, she's asleep, go get some water"
"No", Gu Yanting gently hugged Tang Qingling, and the person in his arms rubbed against Gu Yanting's chest like a sticky kitten, Gu Yanting glanced at her gently, and then carried her back to the house.
Gently put Tang Qingling on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and after a while, Aunt Qing brought a basin of water in, put the basin on the low stool next to the bed, and said, "Gu Gongzi, I'll come."
"No, go get the medicine box"
"No", Aunt Qing took Tang Qingling's medicine box over, Gu Yanting took out the contents of the medicine box, gently helped Tang Qingling up, and hugged her from behind.
Gently, carefully changing the dressing for her, Tang Qingling slept very deeply and peacefully throughout the whole process. After changing the medicine, Gu Yanting asked Tang Qingling to lie down and tidied up the quilt on her body.
"Gu Gongzi, give it to the slave maid"
"Okay, be careful", Gu Yanting, a big man in the woman's boudoir was inconvenient after all, so he could only reluctantly glance at Tang Qingling and walked out, not forgetting to tell them to be careful.
"No", after Gu Yanting left, Aunt Qing took other maids, briefly tidied up for Tang Qingling, covered the quilt for her, picked the fire in the house, and then withdrew.
After Gu Yanting saw Aunt Qing and the others leave in the dark in the courtyard, he appeared in the courtyard and looked at Tang Qingling's room, and after a long time, he saw that Tang Qingling's room did not move, thinking that those who followed Tang Qingling had no malicious intent, so he left with peace of mind.
