Qingxin Garden is located in the west of the Hou Mansion, and the area is quite large, but it is some distance from the Yaoxi Hall of my grandfather and grandmother, and there is a small lotus lake in the middle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ji Nianjin came out of his hibiscus courtyard, walked along the east side of the hand-copying verandah, turned a moon cave door, and arrived at the plum garden behind Qingxin Garden.

The plum garden is not big, full of all kinds of plum blossoms in a garden, it is the season of the first plum blossoms, and the burst of fragrance has not yet entered the garden, it has already made people smell.

The fragrance of flowers made Ji Nianjin a little in a trance, on the day of her father's accident, she was accompanying her mother to prune a few plum branches, ready to be used to insert bottles, and plum blossoms were folded down in this plum garden.

I still remember that at that time, my mother's heart was all about my father, and it was because I received a letter from my father, saying that I would be able to return home in a few days, and my mother was so happy that she was smiling every day, and she was going to the plum garden to break plum branches in person regardless of the cold, just because this was my father's favorite flower.

Ji Nianjin can still remember her mother's expression at that time, so soft, so happy and beautiful, but in a blink of an eye, everything was broken.

"Girl, it's cold here, let's go quickly, Madame should be in a hurry."

Bai Zhi, who was behind him, put a silver-gray crane with a flower and bird flower pattern rolled with fox fur on Ji Nianjin, and said worriedly.

Ji Nianjin came back to her senses, she had been standing at the east entrance of the plum garden for a while, although it was not snowing, but the cold air in the morning was still very heavy, she rubbed her somewhat red nose, and then walked towards the back door of Qingxin Garden.

It has been a few days since her father returned to Beijing, how should she remind him to pay attention to safety on the way back to Beijing?

Qingxin Garden is a courtyard with three main rooms, each with a wing room in the east and west, and a wing room is also three, and the mother's daily life is in the east room of the main house.

Ji Nianjin entered Qingxin Garden, and when she walked along the corridor to the door of the main house, the little girl who was already waiting outside smiled and opened the curtain.

"The girl is here, and the lady is looking forward to it."

Ji Nianjin nodded and stepped into the house.

The dragon in the house is still lit, hot, on the wall in the middle, there is a picture of snow falling red plums, the mother said, it is the father's own hand, is the mother's favorite.

In addition, there are only two backing chairs and a long case, a pair of blue and white porcelain vases on the table, and a small amphora copper incense burner in the middle, which will usually be lit with warm incense, but now because the mother is pregnant, it will be stopped.

Ji Nianjin turned his gaze and walked towards the east room, the second-class maid who was waiting in the house raised a smoky gray veil, and Ji Nianjin saw his mother Mei lying on the big kang by the window.

Leaning on the red pillow of silk and gold flowers, her expression was soft and warm, and her whole person was full of joy, her eyebrows were all smiling, and she was holding a piece of paper and looking at something, and she didn't even notice that she came in.

"Mother."

Ji Nianjin shouted softly, although it has been five days since she came back, she has the urge to cry when she can see her mother alive and well in front of her eyes every day, for herself and for her mother.

Fortunately, Ji Nianjin can control herself well, and in front of her mother, she has done it without showing a trace.

Mei Shi raised her head in surprise, only to realize that she was fascinated by it, and she didn't even notice that Ji Nianjin came in, she looked up and glanced at the big girl Xiangqi who was pouring tea for Ji Nianjin next to her.

"I don't know why the girl came in."

Mei hurriedly put the paper in his hand on the small table on the side, took Ji Nianjin's hand, and took it into his arms.

"Jin'er, it's not cold outside, when did you get up, you slept well last night, eat something first, and then eat when your grandfather and grandmother come back after greeting them, and your mother asked you to prepare your favorite crystal shrimp dumplings."

In just a few words, they were all Mei's words of concern, and Ji Nianjian's nose was pantothenic when she listened, she quickly got up from Mei's arms, and said with a smile:

"Mother, I slept well, it's not cold outside, but it's my mother, what are you looking at, so devoted?"

Mei just wanted to answer, but he might as well say quickly with Xiangqi beside him:

"Girl, Madame is reading the letter of the prince, since I received it last night, until this morning, I don't know how many times Madame has read it, I'm afraid, how many words are on the letter, Madame has counted them."

As soon as Xiangqi's words fell, Mei laughed:

"Yes, Jin'er, last night, your father's letter arrived home, because it was too late, I didn't let anyone tell you, the letter said, your father, you can go to Beijing today."

Mei's eyes were all shining, and the look of joy on his face made Ji Nianjin tremble.

Will my father be back today?

"Mother, did my father say that he would be able to get home today or did he say that he would leave for Beijing?"

Although Ji Nianjin's face is not obvious, her heart is like turning over the river and the sea.

My father is going back to Beijing, is it possible that the events of my previous life will happen again, and she and her mother will receive the news of her father's murder again? She wants to see her mother and her brother die in front of her again?

In her previous life, her father also wrote a letter, only saying in the letter that she would be able to return to Beijing in early November, but she and her mother could not wait for her father's figure, but only his coffin came.

Ji Nianjin tried hard to recall, at that time, when did she receive the letter?

Yes, at that time, the plum blossoms had not yet bloomed, and when the letter arrived, my mother happily said that when my father arrived home, the plum blossoms in the plum garden would bloom. And five days later, I couldn't wait for my father's figure, but I waited for the news of my father's death, and three days later, the coffin containing my father was placed in Zong Yaotang.

Zong Yao Tang is the main hall in the front yard of the Hou Mansion, and the Yao Xi Hall where the grandparents live is on a central axis, but one is the front yard and the other is in the back yard. After Ji Nianjin guarded her father's spirit for three days, she followed her mother's spirit, which was a place she didn't want to remember!

And now that my father's letters have also arrived at home, what about my father?

"Aren't you glad that your father is coming back, boy? Is it to blame your father for being out for too long? Jin'er, your father can talk to you, and said that he brought you a famous snack in Changzhou, and you like it. You can't be angry with your father, remember? ”

Mei Shi saw that Ji Nianjin's face did not have a happy look, and thought that the little girl missed her father too much and was losing her childish temper.

She smiled and handed the letter on the small table to Ji Nianjin, nodded Ji Nianjin's forehead, and said:

"Look, Mother didn't lie to you! Your father will be home today. ”

Ji Nianjin looked at the letter in her hand blankly, there were only two pages, and the other Ji Nianjin didn't bother to read it carefully, so she only looked at what she cared about the most.

In the letter, Ji Yunlian said that he could get home today!

It's home, not going back to Beijing, and it's not arriving in Beijing!

Now, my father may have entered the gate of the capital!

"Jin'er, are you happy? Your father has been away from home for more than a month, and now he is coming back, so let's hurry up to your grandfather and grandmother, and the news should have been received in Yaoxi Hall. ”

Mei Shi said that he was about to get off the kang, and Ji Nianjin hurriedly reached out to help Xiangqi support his mother left and right.

"Mother, is my father really coming back?"

Although the day of his father's return home was postponed, the letter arrived at the Hou Mansion the day before he arrived home, and the letter omitted one thing, that is, the father would return with the son of the Hou Mansion in Qingbei.

The prince of the Hou Mansion of Qingbei, isn't that the husband of his previous life, the famous fool?

Ji Nianjin was a little surprised, in this life, there is something different!

But then, huge joy lingered in Ji Nianjin's heart, her father is finally coming back, in this life, her father is fine, does it mean that the suffering in the previous life will not happen again!
