The early morning sunlight shines into the room through the gap in the sealed window, reflecting on Guo Zhao's face, giving her face a gentle halo.
Guo Zhao opened his eyes and felt the arrival of a new day.
After returning to Xudu from Cao Zhang, he would visit Guo Zhao on time every day and give her meticulous care and greetings.
This sincere friendship still makes Guo Zhao feel warmer, and it also makes her gradually develop an unspeakable attachment in her heart. She looks forward to this happy moment every day.
Guo Zhao chose a fresh and simple outfit from the wardrobe. Although her face was still covered with a veil, and she could only communicate with Cao Zhang through the door every day, she still dressed up carefully, hoping to use the best Go to greet Cao Zhang in good condition.
When everything was ready, Guo Zhao sat quietly by the door, waiting for Cao Zhang's arrival.
The chirping of birds came from the yard, which made Guo Zhao feel particularly good.
Finally, footsteps sounded outside the door, and it was very chaotic. It was obvious that Cao Zhang was not the only one coming.
Guo Zhao was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect that Cao Zhang would bring other people with him today.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and then there was the sound of a key opening the door.
Guo Zhao was stunned. Ever since she was quarantined, her food had been delivered through the small window every day. This door had not been opened for several months, so why was it opened today?
Guo Zhao felt uneasy and couldn't help but get up and retreat to the bed.
"A Zhao, I brought a doctor to treat you. This is Mr. Zhang Jizhang, a famous doctor from Jingzhou. He specializes in treating typhoid fever. He will definitely cure your plague and help you recover as soon as possible." At this moment, Cao Zhang's voice sounded outside the door.
Hearing Cao Zhang's explanation, Guo Zhao felt at ease and understood that Cao Zhang had found a doctor to treat her, which meant that she was not far away from regaining her freedom.
The door opened. The moment the door opened, Guo Zhao saw Cao Zhang standing opposite the door, waving to her and smiling.
This was the first real meeting between the two since Cao Zhang left for the war. What moved Guo Zhao even more was that in Cao Zhang's hand, he actually held the jade pendant she had given him and was swinging it gently, as if to tell Guo Zhao, he has been thinking about her.
Guo Zhao's eyes instantly became moist. She looked at Cao Zhang and nodded vigorously and waved in response.
Zhang Zhongjing entered the room carrying a medicine box and wearing a mask, and then closed the door, separating the two people again.
Cao Zhang's eye circles were slightly red. Even though it was only for a short moment, even though Guo Zhao was wearing a veil to cover her face, her waving arms and hard-nodding response were all trying to convey her message. feelings towards oneself.
From the moment the two established their relationship, Guo Zhao faced harassment from Cao Pi, and then Cao Zhang went to war. She had to pretend to be sick to avoid Cao Pi, and she still suffers the pain of being alone in an empty house until now.
Cao Zhang knew very well the grievances Guo Zhao suffered. Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjing was here now. It wouldn't be long before Guo Zhao would be free again, and the two of them could be together without restraint.
Zhang Zhongjing and Guo Zhao walked to the table in the room. He motioned to Guo Zhao to stretch out his hand and gently feel her pulse.
Guo Mingming understood that all this was to deceive others, and he tried his best to cooperate.
Zhang Zhongjing pretended to check his pulse seriously for a while, and then deliberately loudly said to Guo Zhao: "Don't worry, Miss Guo, it seems that you have insisted on being isolated during this period, and you have also maintained good living habits. Now your plague has been controlled. I will help you treat it with acupuncture and medicine, and it should not take long for you to recover."
Guo Zhao knew that Zhang Zhongjing's words were meant for people outside the school affairs office, so he also thanked Zhang Zhongjing cooperatively: "Thank you so much, Doctor Zhang."
Zhang Zhongkong nodded and said in a lower voice: "Miss Guo, thank you for understanding my purpose. Please rest assured that I will act as soon as possible to let you regain your freedom as soon as possible." "
Guo Zhao responded gratefully: "Thank you very much. Please also tell Mr. Cao for me that I am willing to bear all the pain and grievances for him. As long as I can be with him, any hardship is nothing."
Zhang Zhongjing nodded knowingly, got up and walked out. After he went out, he closed the door again, and the people from the school affairs office outside locked the door again.
Cao Zhang stepped forward with concern and asked, "Doctor Zhang, how is Miss Guo's condition?"
"Reporting to the young master, I am confident that I can cure Miss Guo's illness. I will prescribe medicine and acupuncture to make her symptoms subside. If nothing happens, Miss Guo will be cured in ten days at most."
Cao Zhang made an excited expression: "Then there will be the miracle doctor Lao Zhang."
Cao Zhang waved his hand to the people from the school affairs office to accompany Zhang Zhongjing to leave. The school affairs minister left knowingly, and Cao Zhang was the only one left in front of the door.
Cao Zhang and Guo Zhao finally got to be alone together again, and they still looked at each other through the door. The brief encounter just now made both of them extremely excited.
Cao Zhang said affectionately: "A Zhao, did you hear what Dr. Zhang just said? In ten days, you and I can meet. I will keep all the grievances you have suffered for me in my heart, and I will definitely treat you well in the future. compensate you."
When Guo Zhao heard Cao Zhang's words, he smiled faintly, and a glimmer of happiness flashed in his eyes: "Brother Ziwen, I appreciate your talent and ability, and all the grievances I have suffered in order to be with you are nothing. I also believe that you will be kind to me, and I will be very happy with you in the future. I also look forward to the day when I can see you after I recover."
Cao Zhang responded: "Yes, we will definitely be happy!"
The two looked at each other through the door. Although they still couldn't see each other, their hearts were now tightly connected.
Cao Zhang left the paper mill and returned to Xuducheng, where he visited pawnshops, banks and escort agencies.
In the few days since they opened, the business of the three stores has been very good. After all, they are official commitments and can guarantee the interests of the people, so they are naturally very popular.
There is an endless stream of people who come to the bank to deposit money, ask the escort agency to escort goods, and even go to the pawn shop to pledge items in exchange for money.
Cao Zhang knew very well that if the situation continued, the profits would be quite substantial in half a year.
After leaving the shop, Cao Zhang rode back to his mansion.
Xu Shu and Li Jin were already waiting for him in the mansion, waiting to report to him.
After Li Jin came back, Cao Zhang issued an order to him, asking him to carefully select 400 more soldiers in the army to form a fearless army together with the original guards, and he was fully responsible for the training.
Xu Shu reported to Cao Zhanghui: "Reporting to the Young Master, the selection season for the Fearless Army has been finalized. According to your instructions, five hundred sets of military spurs and soft armor have been completed, and all personnel have been staffed. In addition, according to your instructions, also A set of soft armor and military spurs are specially made for you."
Xu Shu said and presented the military spurs and soft armor prepared for Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang took it and looked at it. The spur was much sharper than the previous sample. It was made of better materials, and the length was also slightly longer. It also added a protective rope that can be put on the wrist to prevent it from being thrown off. .
The armor pieces filled in the soft armor are also carefully selected, which not only ensures sufficient defense, but is also relatively lighter and more detailed in appearance to highlight Cao Zhang's identity.
Cao Zhang put on the soft armor, held the military thorn, and tried to swing it. The weight was very good.
"Ji Ji, if we meet the tigress again this time, we should be able to kill him easily without getting hurt ourselves, right?" Cao Zhang said to Li Jin with a smile.
Li Jin looked at Cao Zhang and showed a hearty smile.
At this moment, a servant hurried in from outside and reported: "Sir, Mrs. Bian is here!"
