Returning home, the carriage was very bumpy, and it was driving in an unknown direction ahead of me, and even at night I had some doubts in my heart, but I did not want to ask much. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After nearly 3 days of travel, I finally returned to my uncle's hometown, Chao'an.

The carriage did not stop, and drove me directly to a rather quaint and solemn mansion. The blue tile and gray stone walls of all colors stand quietly and extend, deeply separating the prosperity and liveliness of the outside world and covering the depths of the courtyard. Only the beast-shaped cornices that crossed the high wall and looked proudly towards Andong Street added a bit of majesty and solemnity to the original simple and simple building without too much decoration. There are three front doors of the mansion, the main entrance is more than one zhang wide, and there is a unicorn stone beast that is taller and more powerful than an adult man squatting on each side. The left and right doors were five feet wide and covered with doors.

I looked up at the dazzling golden "Dingguo Mansion" plaque at the main entrance, and hesitated. This is my mother's home?! Since my mother has such a prominent identity background, why did she fall into marrying thousands of miles away and becoming the concubine of the Su family, and being snubbed and mutilated? In the past few years of life and growth in "Lixiangyuan", I am no longer the young, ignorant, ignorant and simple little girl in Sufu, I vaguely feel that all this may be related to me.

After getting out of the car, someone immediately stepped forward to help me enter from the main gate with my uncle and his party, and Xiuniang was led by a person who looked like a steward from the side door to rest elsewhere. At this time, a group of people came out of the foyer in the courtyard to greet them, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they had to follow their uncle forward first.

A graceful and noble woman greeted her first, and her uncle took her hand, "These days, you have worked hard. Jinnian, this is Chen'er. Chen'er, you've come to see your aunt. ”

I stepped forward to salute and respectfully called, "Uncle." ”

There was no extra greetings, and the uncle hurriedly instructed the aunt: "Take her and Xuan'er to see Daddy quickly."

Xuan'er is her elder brother Shen Ningxuan, who is 20 years old and is already a young general, who followed his uncle to train in the frontier. Uncle Shen Congyun, a general who protects the country, has an official residence from the second grade. Father and son are stationed in the Lingshui area on the border of our Great Zhou Dynasty all the year round, enduring the hardships, loneliness, and homesickness of the border for the stability of the country and the tranquility of the people.

I waited for a group of people to walk through the main hall and go to a small courtyard in the north room, where the fish and birds are singing, the grass and trees are verdant, and under the scorching heat, it is also cool and quiet. In the middle of the front of the courtyard is where my grandfather, the god of war of the Great Zhou Kingdom, "General Dingguo", stays.

My uncle and aunt were in front, and Brother Xuan and I were behind, and we hurried into the room, only to see a pearled girl sitting next to the bed, looking after an old man with gray hair and lying down, who was my grandfather.

As soon as the uncle entered the door, he rushed forward and shook his grandfather's hand: "Daddy, the unfilial son led the grandchildren, and came back to see you!" ”

Brother Xuan also stepped forward, knelt under the bed, and stretched out a palm to cover his grandfather's and uncle's hands, "Grandpa, I'm Xuan'er, I'm back to see you!" ”

My aunt took my hand and walked over, motioning for me to kneel down beside Brother Xuan, and my uncle said in my grandfather's ear, "Daddy, Jiangyun's child, I have found it back." "At the emotional part, the voice is already choked.

I kowtowed respectfully to my grandfather above the couch 3 times, "Unfilial granddaughter Yichen, I have seen my grandfather." ”

My grandfather's body struggled, and his originally dull gaze suddenly seemed to have found his target, two lines of cloudy tears fell from the ends of his eyes, and he raised his hands weakly, as if to grab me.

I hurried forward, and my uncle and aunt helped my grandfather to lie down so that he could take a closer look at me.

I have 7 points of resemblance to my mother's appearance, and my grandfather may have remembered that his daughter who died early was coming, and he was even more tearful, stretching out his dry and old hands to caress my mother-like face.

"Yun'er, it's my father who hurt you ruthlessly, ......" Grandfather's body was like a lamp, and he was excited, and he was panting at the moment, and his rib protruding chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he was going to turn his back at any time.

My aunt shouted, "Doctor Wang, Doctor Wang." ”

At this time, a man dressed in the clothes of a medical officer flashed out from behind him, opened the medical box in a hurry, took out a few silver needles from inside, and quickly inserted them into his grandfather's ear points and wrist inside and outside the gate, and also called the man to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of hot medicine. My uncle helped my grandfather caress his chest and wait for him to calm down.

After the decoction was taken, Imperial Physician Wang slowly pulled out the silver needles inserted one by one, and his aunt took the soup bowl by herself, fed her grandfather and took the medicine and then lay down and closed her eyes to rest. Uncle waved lightly and motioned for us all to go out with him, leaving only the two maids and the imperial physician to continue to guard the house.

After going around a few more cloisters and courtyards, I came to a place that resembled a Buddhist hall, and my uncle led me inside.

In the Buddha hall, the sandalwood smoke is swirling, and the Bodhisattva is kind. Below the Bodhisattva, stands the spiritual seat of the ancestors and deceased of the Shen family. Among them, my mother lay quietly on the lower side as a junior.

"Mother's ......" I knelt forward, rubbing the new tablet of my mother, tears flowed silently.

My uncle lit three pillars of incense, inserted them in the incense burner, and knelt down beside me: "Mother, my son is not filial, and I will only help you find your sister now." Now, my sister can finally be by your side for a long time, and you don't have to worry about her day and night. My sister's child, I also brought it back for you, she was born exactly the same as when Jiangyun was young, I will take care of her for you and my sister, and I will not let her suffer a little more grievances. ”

After saying this, the uncle took the three pillars of incense handed over by his aunt and presented them to his mother.

After some mourning, my uncle said to me, "Now that you have gone home, it will be fine!" It can be regarded as a filial piety for your mother to send your grandfather on his last journey! After the uncle finished speaking, the aunt and sister Rushuang on the side couldn't help hiding their faces and sobbing.

"Chen'er listened to her uncle call the doctor just now as the imperial doctor, since he came out of the palace, his medical skills must be very good, is there no hope for his grandfather's illness?" I also had a sad face, but I didn't expect the recognition that I hurried back to be a farewell.

My aunt wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and said to me: "Imperial Doctor Wang also said that your grandfather's illness is useless, and the person sent to Suyang to inquire about the news came back and said that your mother had died 3 years ago, and he was even more anxious when he heard it, and he went if he wanted to see you for the last time, but I was afraid, I was afraid that I would have ...... long ago."

Everyone was silent, and their hearts were very heavy. Later, I returned to the front hall, and after I had taken my seats one by one, my uncle introduced me to the others one by one. Although Dingguo Mansion is a prominent family, but my grandfather ruled the family strictly, from my grandfather to my uncle, there were only wives, no concubines, and the population of the family was also very simple. My grandfather only had a son and a daughter, my mother died young, my uncle was stationed at the border all the year round, and Ning Xuan's brother gradually learned military affairs in recent years, and went to my uncle's side to experience training, and this time they returned home together. My aunt is the youngest daughter of Shen Qing, the lord of Shangshu in this dynasty, although she is forty and has given birth to two children, her body and appearance are still as good as a young woman thirty miles away. The pearl girl seen in my grandfather's room was the pearl of my uncle and aunt's palm. Rushuang is two years older than me and is my older sister. I saw that her willow eyebrows were like smoke, her eyes were like autumn waves, and her cherry lips were a little angry and smiling. I was about to salute her, and she had reached out to hold me: "On weekdays, I often hear my mother mention my aunt, it is not the moon and flowers, and the demeanor is all directions, and I always reprimand me for not learning a minute and a half, which leads me to fascination. ”

She is already lively and cute, and her words are playful, if she usually sounds funny, but because of her grandfather's illness and the shadow of the death of her relatives lingering in everyone's hearts at this time, everyone only smiled slightly, but did not respond, she was quite a little Shanran. I smiled hard, but I was sad and suspicious in my heart, and I was very tired from the hard work of the past few days, and I thought that my uncle and brother Ning Xuan were the same.
