Xin Xue's face swayed with the candlelight, and the first letter was written to her by a person named Mo Qiqiu, and there were only a few words on the letter. She couldn't read the dynasty's words, but the whole letter was to ask if she was okay.

The night breeze blew by, and the candle flame was almost extinguished.

"Brother Mu Chen, Mo Qiqiu...... Who is it?"

Liu Muchen took the letter in her hand and threw it into the brazier on the side.

The dazzling light of the fire dimmed, the letter burned out, and a beam of golden light came out of the brazier and flew into Xin Xue's body. Suddenly, it was dark in front of her eyes, and the voices of several children kept echoing in her ears.

This was the day she first entered the Mo Mansion.

It was pitch black, and you couldn't see anything. The brother and sister she had just met took her hand and walked around the huge mansion until the frolicking died away, until no one answered her.

Suddenly, my brother and sister were gone. In the darkness, only the sound of her rapid breathing. She didn't know that this was a conspiracy of the housewife, He, to kill her.

Fear, helplessness, filled her young mind. She staggered forward, trying to escape the darkness and get back to her mother. She doesn't like Mofu, she just wants her mother.

"Mother, mother-"

The moss-covered ground was unusually smooth, and she tumbled down the stone steps. Pain came from all over his body, and tears rolled down his cheeks. She cried and got up, not wanting to crash into someone's chest.

His voice was somewhat deep, somewhat familiar.

"There's a bottomless pool of water ahead, and if you keep going, you'll fall. ”

I couldn't see her face clearly, only his vague outline in the night, he dispelled the loneliness in her heart, was he the one who came to save her?

He took her hand and led her to the light: "There are very few people in the backyard of Mofu, this is the first time you have entered Mofu, right? Where is your home, I will take you back." ”

She cried and shook her head: "I...... The little girl has no home, and her mother said that from now on Mofu will be the little girl's home......"

He carried her, who was trembling from crying, and she had the lingering fragrance of rouge on her body.

The pungent aroma made him feel so familiar......

It seems to be the rouge that my mother used many years ago.

He couldn't help but think to himself: Is she a new maid?

is accustomed to the cold-blooded battlefield, and his heart is already cold, but she makes him feel the warmth he has not felt for a long time. He wanted to carry her on his back forever as he did tonight, or keep her by his side......

"Which room do you live in?"

He waited for a long time, but she didn't answer. She slept peacefully on his back. Her hair was tickling against his cheeks, and her breath was spraying around his neck, a little hot and damp.

His voice was not deep: "Is it okay to go to the east courtyard of this son tonight?"

How could she, already asleep, answer?

He said to himself: "Since you don't speak, then Ben Gongzi acquiesces that you agree!"

After my mother left, except for Yu's mother, there was no one else in the East Courtyard. She was the only one he brought into the East Courtyard. He had a strange familiarity with her. He has been following the commander all year round, he has blown the spring breeze and seen the warm winter sun, but all of this is not as warm as the warmth she brought him.

"Little girl ......"

He smiled, reaching out and gently touching her cheek. There were tears on her face.

The quiet night, the gentle wind, the swaying bamboo, if time stood still at this moment—how good.

An old woman dressed in plain clothes quietly pushed the door open.

Standing beside him, the old woman's face was full of surprise that Childe had let outsiders sleep on his bed.

The old woman persuaded softly, "Childe, this-"

This is not in accordance with etiquette......

He waved his hand and ordered the old woman to stand back: "Shhh ”

He understood what his mother meant, but he couldn't let go, from the moment he saw her.

Yu's mother walked out of the east courtyard silently, and since the second lady left, she had never seen her son so attentive to others. At this moment, the ugly time has passed, and I can probably see the last side of the second lady.

In the east, the morning glow was magnificent, wisps of smoke rose from the rooftops, and the air was filled with a light veil of mist. On the budding buds, the crystal bright dew drops are shining, showing vitality.

The sound of birdsong woke up the little girl on the bed, and she opened her eyes and looked around. On his bed, she slept soundly.

A ray of sunlight poured through the lattice, and the curtain moved in the wind, and she couldn't believe her eyes. Getting up and touching the bed, touching the veil, everything told her that it was not a dream.

Next to the desk, he was writing paperwork. She watched carefully, quietly watching.

Angular silhouettes, slender eyebrows, and piercing dark eyes. It was him, it was he who took her hand and took her out of her nightmare.

"You're awake. ”

He looked up at her, cold and arrogant, lonely but domineering, and exuding a strong force that was arrogant and independent.

She nodded.

When she first arrived, she didn't know what to say. I stumbled upon an old woman standing next to him.

"This is Yu's mother," he introduced to her: "You don't have to be afraid, she is my nursing mother, and the two of us have always lived in the East Courtyard of Mofu." ”

She respectfully saluted Yu's mother. This is the etiquette that her mother taught her, and her mother left her in front of the Mo Mansion and told her to be careful in everything and not forget the etiquette.

He beckoned her to sit beside him and asked, "What's your name?"

She stammered and replied, "Mo...... Mo Ru Xue. ”

He knew it. It turned out to be a younger sister who had been living on the streets and only entered the house yesterday, and her father was merciful everywhere, and she didn't know who her mother was. However, knowing her identity, his heart felt like he had fallen into the abyss. He really hoped that she was not his sister.

"What do you call your mother?"

Her answer was crisp and clear: "Yan." ”

Yu's mother looked at her and said respectfully to him, "Childe, it's Miss." ”

The paper was stained with ink, and he stared at her, his eyes meeting each other, and for a moment it seemed that his mind was in touch.

He hugged her suddenly, tighter and tighter......

He wept with joy. Xiaoxue, she is Xiaoxue......

After a farewell year, for five years, my mother and Xiaoxue have been living abroad for five years. It's all because of his soft-spoken words in Mofu that he made his mother and Xiaoxue suffer. Now Xiaoxue is back, but she can no longer see her mother - the family reunion is hopeless.

He whispered in her ear: "Xiaoxue, the second brother will not let you suffer any grievances in the future." ”

Sitting on the ground, the girl in his arms was at a loss.

Yu's mother reminded: "Childe, Miss just came back, and she doesn't know those things yet. ”

He finally let go of her, but his eyes kept on her. She had just left her mother and was going to live in a strange mansion in the future, how could he bear to tell her the truth.

He pursed his lips and said, "Don't tell her, she doesn't have to know." ”

She wiped away his tears with the corner of her clothes: "Who are you?

He took her hand, his voice extremely gentle.

He had never used such a gentle voice to others: "In Mo Mansion, I am the second son of the concubine, and Mo Qiqiu is my name." Yan is your biological mother, and I am also my biological mother. The head of the Mo Mansion is the He family, and the father is Mo Min, the commander of the dynasty. Also, the eldest son of Mo Mansion is Mo Qiguang, the third daughter is Mo Xuan, and the youngest Mo Chuchu is still in infancy. Do you understand?"

She leaned on his shoulder and replied as if she didn't understand: "Second brother, I understand for my sister, and my second brother also misses my mother, right?

He hugged her into his arms and said softly: "No, the second brother will never leave you......"

She was born in the land of fireworks, and she must be despised in Mofu. He will teach her to ride and shoot, and he will teach her to protect herself, so that she will not suffer for her life like last night.

He combed her long hair: "The coming day will be long, don't be afraid." ”

Time is shallow, and the years go by.

She practiced riding and archery with him, and the small eastern courtyard was their world. A few years later, he was appointed deputy commander by the lord himself, and he was out on the battlefield, sometimes not returning to Mofu for half a year.

When he was away, the subordinates of the Mo Mansion would make it difficult for her, Mo Qiguang, Mo Yu and He would also come to bully her, and as for Mo Min, he would occasionally come to join in the fun. It's Mo Chuchu, as he gets older, he likes to stay in the east courtyard more and more.

The picture was blurry for a while, and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

In the western sky, the setting sun is sprinkled crimson, and the grass and trees in the east courtyard are wrapped in a bright light. The clouds in the sky are like white feathers, shadowing into the water, dancing with the aquatic plants, reeds and twilight songs, and the sparkling waves oozing magnificent and charming.

She picked up a stone and threw it at the pool not far away, where it hit the surface of the water three times.

The sound of thin footsteps approached, and the nurse walked towards the side room with the vegetable basket in her hand, the vegetable basket was covered with a white cloth, and no one knew what was inside. Yu's mother went out of Mofu once a day and never stopped. As for what to do, she didn't bother to ask, because even if she asked, Yu's mother wouldn't say.

After the civil strife of the Jin Kingdom fifteen years ago, the national strength declined and the people's livelihood withered. The new lord ascended the throne, and there were internal and external troubles. The Liang Kingdom wandered in the western border of the Jin Kingdom, and the Yan Kingdom coveted the eastern border of the Jin Kingdom. The lord used the strategy of delaying the army, and sent Mo Fu to lead the army to resist the invasion of the Liang State, and at the same time made peace with the Yan State.

I heard that Lin Sirou, the third lady of the Lin Mansion, who has admired her second brother since she was a child, was ordered to be in a foreign country yesterday, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey.

The people in the world who are used as bargaining chips are so innocent.

The milky smoke and the gray twilight blended together, covering the walls, ridges, and tree tops—a veil that made them looming.

She threw seven or eight stones into the pool in a row, and the scenery in the water broke with the ripples and swung in circles.

Then, the water calmed down as if nothing had happened.

Yu's mother came out with a robe and put it on for her: "Miss, it's cold, go back to the room and rest." ”

She shook her head: "Wait a minute, the second brother's letter is almost here." ”

The setting sun completely sank into the horizon, and a crescent moon hung over the eastern sky. The soldiers at the post house knocked on the back door of the East Courtyard, and she took the letter and thanked the messenger.

The fire paint is intact and the contents of the letter should be safe.

She couldn't wait to open the envelope, although there were only a few words on the paper, but she was enough.

Fourth sister, everything is fine when I'm outside, don't read it.
