It was already late at night when Du Waner woke up. Zhou Yuanfu felt relieved after seeing the doctor saying that Du Waner was fine and needed to be nursed back to health slowly. He was dizzy from being exposed to the sun during the day, so he stayed by the bedside for a while before falling asleep.
Yue'er was overjoyed when she saw this, so she went out quietly.
"He is really handsome! Is this really my husband?" Du Waner said in her heart.
One whiteness covers all ugliness, one blackness destroys everything. On the night of the wedding, I was really shocked when I saw this dark face. But it was such a night, and he lay quietly beside the bed sleeping, with angular features on his face.
Beads of sweat, sword eyebrows and rhinoplasty, this is the husband of her dreams. Du Waner couldn't help but reached out and touched Zhou Yuanfu's face.
By the way, did he defeat all the bandits alone? Otherwise, how could he enter the city? Is he really so brave? One man singled out a city of bandits, which is called a hero in the old man's mouth. But he deserves to be a hero
His wife didn't dare to kill herself because she was under coercion. Would he believe that she was still perfect?
When Du Waner thought of this, she felt so sad that she suddenly got into trouble, pulled out the dagger placed under the pillow, and was about to commit suicide.
Zhou Yuanfu was already awake at this time. He woke up when Du Waner touched his face. He just kept lying down and pretended to be asleep. After pretending for a while and listening to Du Waner's crying voice, he felt strange. He didn't bully her, so why did he cry again? Could it be that he was crying with joy?
? Hearing the sound of the dagger being pulled out of the scabbard again, he was startled. He didn't even bother pretending to be asleep. He turned over and saw that the dagger was already on Du Waner's neck.
"Miss Du, wait!"
Zhou Yuanfu was so frightened that he couldn't figure out why the other party suddenly wiped his neck. Could it be that the performance today was too much?
Du Wan'er had already closed her eyes and was about to take action when she suddenly heard a loud shout. Her hand shook and a line of blood was cut, but she didn't feel any pain at this time. She opened her tearful eyes and looked at Zhou Yuanfu standing in front of her helplessly. Then again
The expression on his face that he wanted to rush forward but was afraid of hurting himself made people laugh.
"Miss Du, don't let your mind wander! Tell me if you have any grievances and let me have a good time."
Zhou Yuanfu was speechless for a moment and said without hesitation.
After all, Du Waner couldn't help it, smiled, and immediately tightened her face, "What did you call me?"
As soon as she spoke, Du Waner realized that her voice was already a little hoarse.
"Miss Du, Aunt Du, Grandma Du, we can call you whatever you want. Put down the knife first."
Zhou Yuanfu saw the blood line on Du Waner's neck and said repeatedly.
Du Waner was almost furious. At this time, the word girl still meant aunt. After the Tang Dynasty, it gradually became a title for young women. This libertine actually called herself aunt. Is she stupid? Is she bored?
The room has become so old? Du Waner wanted to find a mirror to take a look at it.
"Pass me the bronze mirror." Du Waner didn't want to die anymore and put down the dagger.
Zhou Yuanfu was relieved when he saw that she put down the dagger. He just didn't know what she wanted the bronze mirror for, but he still handed it over.
Miss Du used the light to look at her blurry face in the bronze mirror. Fortunately, her face was a bit pale, but her skin was still smooth and tender.
Zhou Yuanfu was simply going crazy. What kind of operation was this? Is it sleepwalking?
"What are you doing here?" Du Waner couldn't help but ask after seeing Zhou Yuanfu's stupid face.
"I, I came to see you,"
Zhou Yuanfu was also a little incoherent. What is this? He originally wanted to show off his power, but the audience fainted. Is this called a hero saving a beauty? It feels almost like visiting relatives.
"Did you fight off all those thieves?" Du Waner asked curiously.
"Well, I didn't fight them off but I conquered them. In fact, they were convinced when they heard my name." Zhou Yuanfu said a little shyly.
"Just like those thieves outside Nanzheng City?" Du Waner took it seriously.
Zhou Yuanfu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Yes, in fact, these thieves have a sense of shame. If you blame them with righteousness, they will know how to return."
Du Waner curled her lips and thought to herself: How could it be possible? If it were so easy, the officers and soldiers wouldn't always work in vain, but they didn't understand the power of it.
The two fell into silence again.
"Since Miss Du is awake, I'll take my leave and ask Yue'er to wait on you." Zhou Yuanfu also bowed and left.
"Do you dislike me?" Miss Du finally asked.
Zhou Yuanfu was confused, "Girl, where do you start talking about this?"
"Do you think I've committed myself as a thief?" Du Waner had tears on her cheeks.
Zhou Yuanfu suddenly realized that it turned out that Du Waner was here for this. Didn't it mean that women in the Han Dynasty did not value chastity very seriously? Women remarried everywhere, and there was Cao Cao, a widow harvester. Why did Du Waner care so much about this issue?
In fact, with the spread of Liu Xiang's "Biography of Women" in the Western Han Dynasty and Ban Zhao's "Women's Commandments" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the concept of chastity among women in the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually took shape. Du Waner also came from a noble family, so she naturally received more education than ordinary women.
"No, no, I believe you." After saying this, Zhou Yuanfu felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what to say.
"I also wanted to die to express my ambition, but they...forget it, you can leave." Mrs. Du burst into tears.
Zhou Yuanfu was very heartbroken when she saw him. She didn't know how she survived the past nearly a year.
The self-blame and regret in his heart filled his heart. He hugged Du Waner and said vaguely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all my fault!"
Du Waner burst into tears, stretched out her arms to hug Zhou Yuanfu, and burst into tears.
…
Under Zhou Yuanfu's careful care, Du Waner's complexion quickly improved, and Yue'er's face was filled with a smile every day. Du Ji and his mother also met him. The old lady couldn't stop praising Zhou Yuanfu for his talent. Only Du Ji
He has a stinky face and doesn't speak falsely.
News from Bajun also continued to come. Zhang Lu formally requested surrender, and Governor Cao's petition for meritorious service had been submitted. It is estimated that the imperial court's reward should also come. If the imperial edict comes, Zhou Yuanfu will have to greet it in person, so
It's time to consider returning to Bajun, and I will definitely take Du Waner back then. But if I take Du Waner back, how will I face Gan Mei? Will Gan Mei be angry if she finds out? Zhou Yuanfu feels a headache when he thinks about this.
Ju Yi's soldiers and horses have also been stationed in Shangyong. On the surface, they are recruiting Xu Huang's bandit army. In fact, many of the soldiers and bandits know each other. It is not so much a recruitment as a celebration of the rendezvous. Zhou Yuanfu also visits the military camp from time to time.
Turn around and look at your old subordinates.
Du Waner was in a happy mood and was willing to go shopping with Yue'er during the day. She lived a carefree life and dressed more and more like a young woman.
One day, Zhou Yuanfu went to the military camp again. Du Waner was bored, so she took Yue'er shopping, but met the two guards who were guarding the door. Now where they live, Zhou Yuanfu's guards have been replaced, so they have not been seen for a while.
.
The two of them had just come out of the restaurant, and they were a little drunk. They didn't dare to support Mrs. Du when they saw her, so they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Thank you for your help, my two eldest brothers, to help guard the door that day. Yue'er, I'll give them some wine money."
At this time, Du Waner's demeanor was no longer the unruly little girl she was before, and she had a graceful demeanor in every move she made.
"Thank you Madam Du for the reward!" The two of them were overjoyed to see the reward.
"The two of us also contributed to Mrs. Du's reconciliation with General Zhou. If we hadn't answered each other at the door, I guess Madam would not have gone to the tower to see General Zhou." One of them was quite drunk and was very happy to receive the reward.
, said without hesitation.
After hearing this, Du Waner's heart moved, and she asked tentatively: "You have known that I am General Zhou's wife before."
"That is, otherwise why would General Xu appoint us to guard the gate? General Lei Gong is our leader, and he will..."
The other person was still relatively sober and quickly covered his mouth and apologized to Du Wan'er: "We don't know General Lei Gong. My brother drank too much and talked nonsense. Don't blame Mrs. Du."
As he said that, he was about to drag the drunkard away.
"Stop!" Du Waner's eyes widened, and she was so frightened that the two of them did not dare to leave. "Have you, General Xu, known my husband before?"
Cold sweat broke out on his head when he was more awake. Xu Huang had already confessed that this matter must be kept secret. If this matter was leaked, he would probably lose his head.
"Of course we know each other. General Zhou is the eldest brother and General Xu is the seventh brother. They have such a good relationship as brothers..." the drunkard said nonchalantly.
