After winter, it is not far from the New Year. But in the blink of an eye, it was already Laba Festival.

Laba Festival has always been a big festival in the Qing Song Dynasty, and even the emperor in the palace will distribute Laba porridge to the favored ministers.

And this year, the Liuguo Mansion also has this honor.

Liu Jingcun was happy about this, didn't Emperor Devon's move mean that he was still a minister of humerus who trusted him, which made him feel a big stone in his heart.

The Liu Lin clan also specially left a bowl for Mu Lingluo and sent it to Yalanxuan.

"Quick, Aluo, eat while it's hot. This is Laba porridge sent out by the palace, which symbolizes auspiciousness and good luck. Eat quickly and add color to next year's fortune. ”

Although it is Laba porridge from the palace dining room, the materials are also excellent, and the cooking skills are also top-notch. But after it was sent out in the palace, the road was full of wind and snow, and the Laba porridge had already been cold.

When this arrived at the Liuguo Mansion, it was already a pot of cold porridge. Even if it is heated on a small stove, the taste is not as good as when it comes out of the pot.

But the laba porridge sent to the minister's palace is actually limited, and the courtyards are just a taste, touching the joy of the royal family in the palace, and trying to make a good fortune.

Let's just say that Mu Lingluo was in the courtyard, originally there was no part of her, after all, there were very few, there was still Liu Jingcun and his wife, Mrs. Liu, etc., so it was said that the second room and the third room could not be divided. It's just that the Liu Lin clan is also a housekeeper now, and they have secretly come out, just like the Liu Luo clan, otherwise if it was Xia Lian in the past, I am afraid that they would not even have a chance to see it.

Mu Lingluo naturally knows the kindness of the Liu Lin family, but she has never been very fond of drinking porridge, although this Laba porridge is produced in the palace, but now the taste is not too good.

However, she couldn't help but accept the kindness of the Liu Lin clan.

She hurriedly took the Laba porridge that Liu Lin specially gave her, and said with a smile: "Third aunt, you really have a heart." By the way, I've been trying to tell you these days, I originally wanted to surprise you, but after thinking about it, I still want to tell you in advance, and also let you have a preparation and hope in your heart. ”

When Liu Lin heard this, he blinked and looked over: "What's the matter?" Look at you, mysterious? ”

"It's the third uncle, he will come back for the New Year, probably these days. You know in advance, and you can also prepare some things for the third uncle. After all, you and the third uncle haven't seen each other for many years! Mu Lingluo said in a low voice.

She also learned from Liu Haoxuan that it was because Mrs. Liu didn't like the Liu Lin family, and she always wanted to stuff a woman for her third uncle, and she also disliked the Liu Lin family, which caused her third uncle to leave home and take office for many years. She actually didn't like her third uncle's approach, he ran away, but the Liu Lin clan who was left behind by him still had to suffer in this mansion, and she had to be harassed by Mrs. Liu, and even almost died by Xia Lian at the beginning.

However, she also knew that Liu Lin's family and her third uncle had been in a stable relationship for many years, and Liu Huanyuan also liked her father very much, so she couldn't say anything.

Therefore, she also wanted the Liu Lin clan to know that the person who supported her and gave her a piece of heaven on her head was about to come back. Her hard life can be regarded as surviving.

Liu Lin obviously didn't expect this news, she was slightly stunned, the hand on her side slowly clenched, and the eyes flashed over ecstasy and confusion, "Really?" He, he's finally back. ”

Liu Lin actually doesn't know how she has persevered over the years, Mrs. Liu detained her in Beijing to fulfill her filial piety for her husband, she stayed in this cage-like Liuguo Mansion for her husband and Huanyuan.

Just when she thought she couldn't survive it, a Mu Lingluo came, and now, he is finally coming back.

Liu Lin didn't know how to tell his mood at the moment.

"Thank you for informing me." Liu Lin paused and thanked him softly.

"Where, it's just the news that my brother learned in advance, presumably the third uncle also sent a letter back to Beijing in advance, but it was snowing on the road, I'm afraid it won't be delivered so quickly." Mu Lingluo saw that there was no great change in the expression on Liu Lin's face, she was stunned, and asked cautiously tentatively: "Third aunt, the third uncle is back, aren't you happy?" ”

"Happy?" Liu Lin was stunned, and then raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm happy." It's just that now, I don't know if I'm really happy in my heart......"

Back then, her father agreed to the proposal of Liu Jingzu, who was just a talented talent at the time, because of the lord of Ronghua, and she still remembered the first words he had said to her when he lifted her hijab.

However, all of this seemed to have been sealed with his departure from Beijing. She can't remember the expectations in her heart back then, she has looked forward to it countless times, but every year she only waits for cold letters and silver tickets...... A young couple, but parted prematurely.

"Third aunt?" Mu Lingluo was stunned for a moment, and reached out to touch Liu Lin's hand, but the coldness of the tentacle surprised her. "You ......"

Liu Lin quickly retracted his hand, came back to his senses, raised his lips and smiled: "I'm fine, but I'm embarrassed in front of you." Then I'll go and prepare first, he hasn't been home for many years, and the daily necessities must be prepared after all, and I don't know how long he will stay this time, but he still can't ......"

"Third aunt," Mu Lingluo interrupted her self-talk, and said slowly: "Third aunt, this time the third uncle is returning to Beijing to take up his post, and his term of office has arrived. I heard that the third uncle did everything himself when he was in office, and his reputation among the people was very good, and the saint also saw his efforts. When I return to Beijing this time, I am afraid that there will be a big promotion, and in the future, you and Yuanyuan, the third aunt, will be able to live a good life, and you don't have to worry about it with the third uncle to support you. ”

"Not leaving?" Liu Lin muttered, obviously she didn't expect it, and she was a little stunned for a while. "Really?"

Mu Lingluo helped her sit down, "Third aunt, what's wrong with you?" After a pause, she whispered, "I don't know what happened to the third uncle and you?" However, you have indeed paid a lot, I think the third uncle is also in the eyes, we are also in the eyes, I want to ......"

"Ah Luo." Liu Lin shook his head and smiled bleakly, "You don't have to say it, I know it in my heart." I still have something to do, you drink porridge, I'll go first. ”

With that, she got up and quickly left, but the hand at her side was tightly clenched.

The snow fluttered outside the door, and the petite figure of the Liu Lin clan seemed to be overwhelmed by the heavy snow.

Mu Lingluo stood at the window, looking at the back of Liu Lin's farther and farther away, his face condensed slightly, his red lips tightened slightly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and closed his eyes and said:

"Forsythia, get ready, I'm going to King Chen's Mansion!"
