Coming to the General's Mansion again, the guards at the door were even more polite to them, and Steward Xu was already waiting here, and he led Li Qingcheng and them in.
Entering the gate, the courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, the green willows hang around, three hanging flower gatehouses, the courtyard is connected with the road, and the mountains and stones are embellished.
Steward Xu led the way in front, passing through the verandah, and several maids and servants who came and went greeted Steward Xu in front of him.
Steward Xu pushed open the door of the study, and Li Chengcheng walked in with a small bean bag. He closed the door with a very good eye. As soon as they took a few steps in the room and turned around, they saw General Xu sitting on a chair and Xu Zhifeng in front of the desk.
Xu Zhifeng seemed to be writing something, and when he heard someone coming in, he raised his head. With a knife-like face, eyebrows like a sword, and eyes like a pool of water, he was looking at Li Qingcheng and Xiaodoubao suspiciously, and it seemed that General Xu hadn't told him yet.
General Xu walked over, carefully took a large number of small bean bags, and stretched out his hand to pull the small bean bags. Xiao Doubao hid behind Li Tingcheng a little scared, Li Tingcheng patted her head, told her that it was okay, and motioned her to come over.
General Xu Lao pulled the little bean bag and walked to the desk and pushed the little bean bag forward.
"Feng'er, this is your and Qinghua's child."
Xu Zhifeng's face was shocked, and he accidentally knocked over the inkstone, and the ink stained everything he wrote through, and the ink flowed down the edge of the table, dripping on the ground.
"Father, do you mean......" It took him a long time before he spoke, his throat suppressed, his eyes searching, "what about Hua'er?" Where's Hua'er? ”
Old General Xu didn't look over, the tip of Xiaodoubao's nose was sour, and he handed the white jade in his arms to him, tears rolled in his eyes, and he refused to fall, "Mother kisses her...... She ......"
Xiaodoubao has not been able to say the word "she", Li Tingcheng looked sad on the side, and took Xiaodoubao's words, "Sanniang, she has gone." ”
When I finally heard the answer he was afraid of, my whole body trembled, and my eyes were still in disbelief, "How is it possible?" No, no, no! ”
put the white jade as a treasure on his chest, and his face was full of pain.
Xiaodoubao finally couldn't help it, and cried loudly, bright tears rolled in her eyes, and then rolled down her cheeks, dripping on the corners of her mouth, chest, and ground.
"Why don't you want me and my mother?" Xu Zhifeng heard Xiao Doubao's cry, and finally reacted, he wanted to stretch out his hand, but hesitated.
The wind was blowing outside, and it was already raining heavily. The rain seemed to hit Xu Zhifeng's heart densely, cold and biting.
General Xu took the crying tired bean bag down, and Xu Zhifeng and Li Chengcheng were left in the study.
"Hua'er...... What can you leave behind? After saying this, Xu Zhifeng actually felt that he had exhausted all his strength.
"Sanniang said, bring Bai Yu to you, and you will understand everything." Li Tingcheng didn't know what to say, she could see Xu Zhifeng's pain, that kind of peeling off the cocoon, it was almost like cutting out her heart.
Now Xu Zhifeng looked a few years older in an instant, his face had regained his calm, and he looked at Bai Yu with love in his eyes, "This is my love token to Hua'er." ”
"Why is Hua'er willing to leave me, this stupid girl, she thinks I don't know, but in fact, I already knew." Xu Zhifeng seemed to be talking to Li Chengcheng, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
Li Qingcheng listened quietly, and suddenly felt that Xu Zhifeng was a little pitiful. She doesn't know what happened six years ago, but he and Sanniang are very in love, just now his shock he saw in his eyes, he didn't know the existence of Xiaodoubao, listening to his tone is also Sanniang left, if Sanniang doesn't love him, why did he give birth to Xiaodoubao, why did he love him and leave.
The sky was blue after the heavy rain, and the waterside staircase was washed away. General Xu made it clear that Xiaodoubao would stay and let her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. Li Chengcheng finally completed the things that Sanniang explained, and his heart finally fell. Xiaodoubao has relatives, but where should he go, in this strange world, where can he let himself settle.
Xu Zhifeng asked to bring Sanniang back to the Xu family and enter the ancestral tomb of the Xu family, although this is unreasonable, General Xu did not object.
Li Chengcheng wanted to go back to the gambling house, Xiaodoubao refused to let her go, or he wanted to go with her, Xu Zhifeng kept her, saying that there were many men in the gambling house after all, and it was inconvenient for a girl to stay there.
General Xu didn't talk about her as a bad moral, which surprised Li Tingcheng, she thought that the chats in ancient times were old-fashioned, and the TV series was really harmful. Forget it, just stay, and wait for Xiaodoubao to get familiar with this place before leaving. Xu Zhifeng actually went out to Liucheng today, and he didn't have time to ask Xiaodoubao, it took two months for her to travel on foot with Xiaodoubao, and Xu Zhifeng rode a fast horse for at least half a month.
"Let him go." Old General Xu waved his hand, "It's hard for him all these years." ”
Because Xiaodoubao is familiar with Li Chengcheng, General Xu arranged them in Cailan Courtyard, which is located in the southeast corner of the General's Mansion, which is quiet and the closest courtyard to General Xu's Caiyuan, which can be seen that General Xu loves Xiaodoubao.
General Xu personally took them to Cailan Courtyard and instructed Steward Xu a few words.
"The slave and maid catkins/fluttering catkins have seen the little lady, Miss Li." The two fourteen or fifteen-year-old maids saluted them, Xiaodoubao was a little timid, Li Qingcheng hurriedly helped them up, she was a modern thought, and she was equal to each other in her bones, how could she let them salute.
The two maids were frightened, and they could let the master help them, they looked at General Xu, who nodded and acquiesced to this approach.
"Your name is catkins?"
"If Miss Hui Li is right, the slave maid is exact." The maid on the left was standing, with a small dimple on her face and her eyes grunting.
"Then you're Sister Piaofu?" Xiaodoubao is not so scared, said sweetly.
"Back to the little lady, the slave is a flutter." Standing next to the catkins, the fluttering catkins have a pair of apricot eyes, bent eyebrows, and slightly shy.
"Okay, you two serve the little lady and the little girl." General Xu commanded, turned to Xiaodoubao and said, "When your father comes back, I will give you a name, and I will disclose it to everyone at that time." You wear the clothes or something first, I asked Steward Xu to prepare them for you, so you can relax here. ”
"I've already sent someone to the gambling house to fetch your baggage." General Xu told Li Qingcheng that she nodded to indicate that she knew. "Little girl, you can rest assured, just stay for as long as you want."
"Well, thank you, General Xu." Although he was the light of a small bean bag, he was very touched by General Xu's meticulous care for her.
Originally, General Xu said that he would also send two maids to Li Tingcheng, but she didn't agree, she was used to doing it herself.
After General Xu left, Liu Wu and Piao Fu took them to bathe, Liu Wu brought a green green cigarette shirt, scattered flowers and water mist green grass pleated skirt, wearing a green water thin smoke veil, now has entered the summer, Xiaodoubao wears and feels that the whole person is much fresher.
Piao Fu was skillful, and pulled a falling horse bun for Li Qingcheng, and inserted a butterfly-shaped hairpin with gold tired silk beads on the side, wearing a snow-green soft smoke and rattan pattern cloud brocade embroidered shirt.
Piao Fu boasted on the side, "The girl is so good-looking." ”
Li Qingcheng looked at herself in the mirror, she really relied on clothes, she saw her green silk for the first time, and the whole person was radiant.
At this time, General Xu sent someone over to inform them of lunch. Liu Wu led them to the dining room.
