Xiao Yiran stood in front of the tombstone of the new tomb and pondered for a moment, then returned to the carriage alone, and asked Xiaoxi and Qingwen Musk Yue to wait outside, and then released Zheng Xinxin's soul and asked:

"Sister, take a look from afar from the door of the carriage."

Xiao Yiran said that if you look at it from a distance, you can actually see the words on the tombstone in the carriage. Zheng Xinxin's soul first knelt in the carriage and kowtowed to the grave of her in-laws, before carefully looking at the newly erected tombstone. There was silence on his face for a long time without sorrow or joy, and then he said quietly:

"To know that coming back to accompany my father and mother can be regarded as a conscience. Miss, let's go. ”

The last time I was in the small market, Zheng Xinxin's soul didn't want to see Wang Chunxia, obviously at that time, Zheng Xinxin hadn't let go of the obsession in her heart, and today she said this, Xiao Yiran knew that Zheng Xinxin had forgiven Wang Chunxia, and the obsession in her heart disappeared as early as last night because of the epiphany in the legend of the pagoda that Xiao Yiran told her.

"Okay, let's go home."

From Yan'an Mansion to Yanshan Mansion, you can choose to go all the way east. However, Xiao Yiran still chose to take a detour to Dongshan to cross the Yellow River, pass through the small city, and pass by the road under Wutai Mountain. Xiao Yiran has always regretted that he couldn't go to pay attention to Master Yuantong.

On the way, Xiao Yiran calculated the time, Master Yuantong passed away in the winter of the previous year, and before he knew it, almost two years had passed. I left Yanshan Mansion in early May last year, and now it is already a west wind and has entered autumn. Now that it is the ninth year of Taiping Xingguo (984), Xiao Yiran knows that after coming back this time, he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to leave Yanshan Mansion in three years. The memory of the first life told her that two years later, in 986, that is, in the third year of Yongxi, Song Taizong would order the Northern Expedition, which would be the biggest defeat of the Song Dynasty after the founding of the country. If his father Xiao Guoliang had not been transferred away before the Northern Expedition, Xiao Yiran would have to stay in Yanshan to help his parents through this difficulty.

Soon came to the foot of Wutai Mountain, although it was already sunset, Xiao Yiran still insisted on going up the mountain to worship Master Yuantong. Only took Zheng Xinxin's soul, and let the three daughters of Xiaoxi, as well as Xiao Qing and Xiao Yuesheng, stay outside the temple.

Originally, there were gods on duty in the temple, and it was difficult for Zheng Xinxin's soul to enter. However, with the support of the Buddhist beads left by Master Yuantong, Xiao Yiran took Zheng Xinxin's soul to the temple very smoothly. The deacon monks in the temple probably remembered Xiao Yiran, and when they heard that they were going to worship Master Yuantong, they sent a small novice to lead Xiao Yiran to the tower behind the temple.

"Donor, the largest and newest one in Tallinn is Master Yuantong's Relic Pagoda."

Xiao Yiran came to the Yuantong Master Tower, folded his hands, and bowed down. At this time, the west wind blows the dense cypress forests around Tallinn, making a burst of waves. The afterglow of the setting sun turns the Tallinn dyeing factory golden. Suddenly, it gives people a solemn and desolate feeling. Xiao Yiran casually released Zheng Xinxin's soul and said to her:

"Sister, let's also come to worship Master Yuantong."

To Xiao Yiran's surprise, after Zheng Xinxin's soul came out, instead of giving salutes to the relic, it slowly floated over, and disappeared into the tower after a while.

"Sister?"

"Miss, I don't know why, I came in involuntarily. It's just that you can get in, but you can't go out. ”

"How does that sister feel?"

"Miss, being in the tower is as comfortable as bathing in the golden light of Buddha beads."

"In that case, my sister should stay here. Perhaps, this was also arranged by the master in advance. ”

"Take care, Miss, when I can leave one day, I'll go see Miss again."

Although Xiao Yiran has become accustomed to accompanying Zheng Xinxin's soul every night and practicing the soul refining technique in the golden light of the Buddha beads, Xiao Yiran knows that it will inevitably be discovered after a long time. I have always carried a ghost, and if it spreads, it will really be a bit shocking. Since the master has this arrangement, Xiao Yiran doesn't need to worry about anything anymore, and after instructing Zheng Xinxin to say a few words, he will bow to the master's relics pagoda again, and then turn around and leave silently.

It's not that Xiao Yiran has nothing to say to the master, such as the war two years later. It's just that Xiao Yiran thought about it, and still remembered that when he met the master for the first time, the master's words of "be cautious in words and deeds", and the words warned by the Xuannu Niangniang in the first dream, all had the meaning of not letting himself reveal the secret of heaven. Therefore, Xiao Yiran still held back. I secretly decided in my heart that in the future, I would not divulge too many heavenly secrets like I did when I was reborn in the ancient times, so that I would be punished by God and let myself be separated from my two sons and three girls. We can only watch history develop along the established line, and never interfere again.

By the time we went down, it was already dark. After entering Xinzhou City and staying, Xiao Yuesheng was already sleepy. The time has also come around the end of the day. For the first time, without Zheng Xinxin's soul to accompany him, Xiao Yiran was a little uncomfortable. However, the bag and the beads were still there, so Xiao Yiran still took out the beads, bathed in the golden light, and practiced the soul refining technique.

Xiao Yiran stayed in Xinzhou overnight, and after getting up the next day, he hesitated for a while, and finally let Xiao Qing drive towards Yanshan Mansion.

The so-called hometown timidity, Xiao Yiran has a deep understanding this time. Originally, it was only a three- or four-day journey from Xinzhou to Yanshan Mansion, although he missed his parents, he was worried about meeting Lin Chen unexpectedly. Xiao Yiran asked Xiao Qing to just move forward slowly every day, and he actually walked for eight days before he arrived outside the city of Yanshan Mansion. Seeing that it was still noon, Xiao Yiran did not rush to the mansion, but found a restaurant, asked for a private room, and took Qingwen Musk Yue in the restaurant, eating and waiting. Let Xiao Qing and Xiao Xi take Xiao Yuesheng and drive the carriage back to the mansion first, and then see the situation.

Since three months ago, Sun and his daughter Xiao Yiran exchanged a letter from home, knowing that their daughter was about to leave Jiangning Mansion, and they have not been in touch. The worry in my heart gradually increased as time passed. Every day, I have to stay in the front yard for a while, hoping to get a letter from my daughter, and second, hoping that my daughter will suddenly appear in front of me. Although her daughter has been smart since she was a child, she is still a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

On this day, Sun, who was supposed to take a nap after lunch, always felt a little unstable in his heart, and did not stay in the room to rest as in the past, but came to the front yard, sat in the living room, drank tea, and looked at the porter from time to time. Xu is because of the mother-daughter connection, although Sun didn't know that Xiao Yiran would come back today, but he seemed to feel something in his heart.

When Xiao Qing drove into the mansion in the carriage, Sun immediately stood up and walked out in three steps and two steps. Xiao Qing stopped the carriage, Xiao Xi led Xiao Yuesheng down from the carriage, Sun didn't find his daughter and Qingwen Musk Yue, and he chuckled in his heart. Even Xiao Qing and Xiaoxi saluted themselves, but they didn't pay attention, and looked at Xiaoxi with their eyes.

"Madam, Miss is fine, but I was worried that I would come in rashly in broad daylight and be bumped into by outsiders, so I sent us back to have a look first."

When Sun heard Xiaoxi's words, his heart was put down.

"Where's Miss?"

"It's in a restaurant in the city."

"Xiao Qing, hurry up and pick up the young lady and go home, no outsiders will come in at this time."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Qing agreed, turned around and drove the carriage out of the mansion, and picked up Xiao Yiran. Sun took Xiao Yuesheng's hand, looked him up and down, and said while leading him towards the backyard:

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and Xiao Yuesheng has grown into a big child."

Xiao Yuesheng has been staying in the Xiao Mansion in Bianliang City since he was a child, and he is not familiar with the Sun family, and he is led by the Sun family, which seems a little unnatural. Although he was only four years old, he also understood the truth of superiority and inferiority, and did not pull out the small hand that was held by Sun. However, a pair of eyes were looking at Xiao Xi beside him, revealing a pleading look.

"Yuesheng told Grandma Sù, have you been out for more than a year, are you having fun?"

At this time, Sun's mind, regardless of his heart, was full of daughters, so he naturally ignored Xiao Yuesheng's unnaturalness, came to the room in the backyard, and kept asking Xiaoxi's mother and son about their experience outside for more than a year while waiting for Xiao Yiran.

About half an hour later, Xiao Yiran, who was dressed in men's clothes, and Qingwen Musk Yue, appeared in the backyard, in Sun's sight. When the mother and daughter met, they didn't have time to speak, and the two were already in tears. Let Xiaoxi and Qingwen Musk Yue also shed a lot of tears with them.

Sun, who was crying with joy, looked at his daughter who changed back into women's clothes, and said for a while:

"Ran'er has lost weight."

After a while, he said:

"Ran'er has grown taller."

Looking at his mother in front of him, Xiao Yiran found that after not seeing her for more than a year, her mother not only lost a lot of weight, but also grew a lot of gray hair on her sideburns.

"My mother has also lost weight, and she has added a lot of gray hair."

"Mother is old."

"How can there be, my mother is only forty-seven or eighteen years old, how can she say that she is old? Is Daddy okay? ”

"Your father is busy all day long, but his body is more healthy."

The mother and daughter deliberately did not mention Lin Chen's affairs, and after sending away Xiaoxi and a few people, they sat on the bed and talked affectionately for a long time. The content is naturally Xiao Yiran's experience outside for more than a year, and the most talked about is the experience in Jiangning Mansion. Regarding the second uncle's desire to blackmail himself, Xiao Yiran did not talk about Zheng Xinxin's soul and the section on Shi Li's herbal room at night, and almost told his mother Sun as it was. Sun, who only heard and rarely got angry, couldn't wait to immediately grab his unsuccessful second brother and slap him twice.

It wasn't until Xiao Guoliang came back that the mother and daughter stopped talking.

"Daddy."

"Ran'er is back, but I miss my father."

Xiao Guoliang looked at the front of him, a little thin, but he grew a head, and his daughter, who had not seen him for more than a year, would inevitably reveal his true feelings.

After more than a year, the reunion dinner was eaten by three people for nearly an hour. Xiao Guoliang made an exception and drank a few glasses of wine. After the meal, while the three of them were chatting, Xiao Guoliang suddenly said to Xiao Yiran:

"Lin Chen is going back to Beijing in the next two days."

Xiao Yiran silently didn't answer, but Sun asked:

"Isn't it less than three years?"
