The long-awaited majestic city wall appeared in front of him, and Xiao Shiji couldn't help but get excited.

Chang'an in Daqi opened its doors to welcome visitors from all directions.

Although it was early in the morning, there were already people coming and going in front of the city gate.

Xiao Shiji reined in his horse and stood quietly at the city gate for a while, the smile on his lips hidden in a big beard. The felt hat on his head was covered with dust, and the clothes on his body were almost unrecognizable, but when he finally returned, standing at the gate of the most powerful capital of Daqi, a pride rose in his chest.

The peace and tranquility here were bought by him and his comrades!

Thinking of those comrades-in-arms who were buried in the frontier, Xiao Shiji's face became gloomy again.

The legs gently clamped the horse's belly, and the horse leaped up gently.

Xiao Shiji rode on his horse, as if he were strolling leisurely, carrying the reins and leaping in the crowd, and soon entered the city gate and ran in the direction of his house.

Originally, he was a sergeant, but after he came back, according to the system, he should first go to the military department to report, and then go to the palace of King Yijun to see King Yijun, and then go home.

But he couldn't help it, he wanted to take a sneak peek at Shuang'er first, take a look at his two twins, and then go to the military department to report......

When the horse came to Yongning Fang, where they lived, Xiao Shiji was already full of joy when he saw the ridge of his big house standing in the distance.

It is the golden autumn time, Chang'an City is full of trees, the fragrance lingers, and there seems to be the breath of frost in front of and behind you.

"And my brother...... and his brother...... and her brother ......" seemed to be able to hear her crisp laughter and cheerful footsteps.

Xiao Shiji's heart ached with joy, full of sourness, anticipation and tenderness. He came to the door of his house.

The door is closed.

He didn't care about dismounting.

Generally, there is nothing to do, the doors of each house are closed tightly, and only the corner door next to it will be guarded.

Of course, the Xiao family already has a special concierge and doorman.

Xiao Shiji tied his horse to the stone at the gate, jumped up the steps in three steps and two steps, and vigorously clicked the knocker on the door.

He touched his full beard, imagining that Frost would be surprised to see him with a beard, and then he would hug her and kiss her fiercely. Prick her with your beard. Until she begs for mercy, then she picks up the two children and them with her beard to make them scream. Giggled. Running all over the ground. He pretended not to be able to catch up and ran after them, like an eagle catching a chicken......

Xiao Shiji thought to himself. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Who? - The master is not at home! An anxious shout came from inside the door, the voice familiar to hear.

Xiao Shiji was stunned for a moment, and the right hand that knocked on the door fell into the air, watching the door being opened a little crack, revealing the face of the person inside.

It was actually Xiao Yi, the chief administrator of his outer courtyard.

Xiao Shiji was not surprised again, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this time.

"Xiao Yi, why did you change to a doorman?" Xiao Shiji came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing, thinking it was really interesting.

Xiao Yi was originally staring at the bearded sweat at the door and was very puzzled, but when he heard his voice, he immediately knelt down in fright, kowtowed to him and said, "Uncle came back in the daytime, are you worried about the two children?" Uncle rest assured, they are doing well at the Earl's Court...... Uncle, I'm going to burn incense at your old man's house, how much paper money does it cost? Carriages, horses, and sedan chairs are either? Do you want to burn a few handmaidens? Muttered a lot, and Xiao Shi and Zhanger King Kong were confused.

His right hand stretched out, his arm strength was slightly heavy, and he lifted Xiao Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, up all of a sudden.

Xiao Yi felt the heat on Xiao Shi's arms, and his arms, which were as hard as iron, were stunned all of a sudden. He looked at the sweaty beard in front of him in a daze, and his mouth trembled, "...... Greatly ......"

"Big big, big big!" Xiao Shiji was impatient, "Hurry up and open the door and let me in." I'll have to report to the military department in a while! Hurry up, don't let anyone know! “

Xiao Yi suddenly understood. This is Xiao Shiji! It's uncle! He's not dead! He returned from the northern border!

"Uncle! You're back! You're not dead?! Xiao Yi suddenly burst into tears, clinging to Xiao Shiji's arm, crying profusely.

Xiao Shiji was stunned, "Are you sad that I didn't die?" Looking at you, do you think I'm still dead? - You conscienceless murderer, why don't you make way for me? As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Yi away and strode into the yard.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again and looked around with some confusion.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong.

Although he has been away from home for three and a half years, the situation at home appears in his dreams every moment.

He remembered very well, not to mention that in the daytime, even at night, the outer courtyard of their Xiao family was full of people coming and going, and there was an endless stream.

But now, it's so quiet. It was as quiet as a tomb, the tomb of the living dead.

Xiao Shiji stood in front of the wall in the outer courtyard, and after a long time, he slowly turned back and asked, "...... You just said Earl's Court? What's going on? My child, what is it for the Earls Court? Which Earl's Court? What about the frost? Is she absent? Or did you go to the Earl's Court too? ”

Xiao Yi's tears poured out even more, and he knew that he couldn't cry like this in front of his uncle.

How can a man in his thirties cry like this? It's not too chilling......

He lifted his sleeve and wiped his tears vigorously, but he couldn't wipe them clean.

Xiao Shiji's voice deepened, "What the hell is going on?" What are you crying about? How did you become a doorman? Or do you happen to be home today? But what about Menzi? Why is there no one in the concierge? ”

How can Xiao Yi answer yes?

Could it be that he told the uncle, uncle, that you have already "died on the battlefield", and he, the chief manager of the outer courtyard of the uncle, has been besieged by the second master, and can only be the gatekeeper on the side of the old mansion?

Or, uncle, your wife has passed away for a year, and now, you are married to a "yin marriage", and you have a wife with children in the Earl's Court......

Xiao Yi instinctively didn't dare to say the second thing. If you let the uncle know that the eldest and youngest grandmothers have already passed away, and they died so miserably. Uncle doesn't know what will happen to Lu Dao......

But if you don't say it, you can't do it.

Xiao Yi didn't know what to do, so he had to let his tears run rampant, and he didn't have to speak when he choked.

When Xiao Shiji saw Xiao Yi's appearance, his heart sank. He asked him no more, threw his robe around his waist, leaped to his feet, jumped over the wall of the second gate, and ran towards the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yi watched Xiao Shiji actually jump through the door in his own house, being the "gentleman on the beam", and forgot to cry for a while. watched Xiao Shiji's figure disappear into the heavy roof of the inner house.

"Uncle!" Xiao Yi trembled with fright. And he followed.

Fortunately, the subordinates of the Xiao family all went to the Earl's Palace, and he, the "old courtier" of the uncle, was assigned to the old mansion to guard the door.

This is really in line with the old saying, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing!

Xiao Yi perked up. - Uncle is finally back. But it's time to clean up the Xiao family's ugly and charming stuff inside and out......

Xiao Shiji ran wildly all the way. came to the main courtyard where he and Du Hengshuang lived.

The willow tree in front of the courtyard gate has already withered and yellowed half of it.

A gust of wind blew. The fallen leaves in the doorway swirled and stopped, fluttering at his feet.

Is this still the warm, clean, and laughter-filled home he remembers?

There is no trace of popularity at all, as if it has been abandoned for a long time.

"Xiao Yi! What the hell is going on?! Xiao Shiji turned around. glared angrily at Xiao Yi, who was chasing after him from behind.

Xiao Yi understands that sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. This level is always to be passed, so I mustered up the courage and said in one go: "Uncle, come in with the little one." As he spoke, he led the way in front and entered the main courtyard.

Pushing open the door of the upper room, Xiao Yi stood in front of the door with his hands down, and said to Xiao Shiji: "Uncle, please come in." ”

Xiao Shiji walked in slowly, stood at the bottom of the steps, looked at the dark inside of the door of the upper room on the steps, and was even more puzzled in his heart, and looked at Xiao Yi and said: "If you swallow and vomit again, believe it or not, I will send you to the west with one foot?!" ”

Xiao Yi knelt down in front of the door with a plop, kowtowed to the inside of the door and said, "The tablet of the eldest young grandmother is in it." Uncle also come to the pillar incense. - It's been a year since my grandmother passed away......"

To Xiao Shiji's ears, Xiao Yi's words seemed to come from a distant sky.

Xiao Shiji stood at the bottom of the steps, his face was still deliberately tense, maintaining the appearance of scaring Xiao Yi just now, and he heard Xiao Yi's words in his ears, but he didn't understand what he was talking about at all.

He stood in the middle of the courtyard, as if at the edge of a great wilderness, with a bustling crowd of voices in front of him, but he was cut off alone, and he shouted, roared, and screamed, and no one answered him.

He saw that in the middle of the crowd, Shuang'er was standing there with a smile, but her eyes were not focused, obviously looking in his direction, but it seemed to penetrate him and look behind him. He turned around, but behind him was a cliff, chiseled and axed, and someone under the cliff was shouting his name and trying to make him jump with him.

Xiao Shi and Zhilu said that they couldn't move, and if they moved, they would be crushed and shattered, and they would never recover.

He saw Shuang'er walking over with Nana, the corners of his mouth smiling, and Wu took the wind and walked slowly past him.

"Frost ......" Xiao Shiji stretched out his hand and wanted to catch Du Hengshuang, but he caught it. Du Hengshuang's figure gradually became translucent, becoming more and more illusory.

"Frost!" Xiao Shiji shouted again, because he saw Du Hengshuang actually jumped down the cliff without hesitation!

Xiao Shiji jumped down with her without thinking, just wanting to grab her flying clothes belt and pull her up!

But he didn't pull Du Hengshuang, but he himself fell to the ground!

Xiao Shiji woke up and saw that he was still standing in the courtyard of himself and Du Hengshuang, where was there any wilderness? Where are there any cliffs? Even Frost is just an illusion.

Xiao Yi saw Xiao Shiji's face turn snow-white, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, hurriedly ran over to help him up, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the uncle?" ”

Xiao Shiji saw Xiao Yi and said with a smile: "Just now I had a dream, in which I heard you say that the young grandmother passed away, and I was so scared that I almost died." Holding Xiao Yi's hand and staggering to stand, Xiao Shiji staggered into the house, and said with a smile as he walked: "I was almost scared to death by you." Luckily it was just a dream......"

Xiao Yi was speechless. Where is the dream? Is it okay for him to say it clearly......

But he knew that he was in love with the uncle and the grandmother. For a moment it must be difficult to accept.

But this hurdle he must pass.

People can't be resurrected after death, unlike uncles, sometimes there is wrong news on the battlefield, but the fire in the grange is clear and error-free.

Xiao Shiji walked into the house and looked up to see a lone tablet on the offering table facing the door.

His pupils contracted rapidly, and then he walked over to the offering table with a blank face.

I saw that the tablet was written, "Xiaomen Du's Hengshuang position." ”

Xiaomen Dushi Hengshuang.

Xiao Shiji's fingers trembled. Mosso over and over again on that tablet. Write it over and over again in the handwriting of that engraving.

It turned out that what he heard just now was not a dream.

Is Frost really dead?

Xiao Shiji closed his eyes, and two tears dropped on Du Hengshuang's tablet. Lightly opened.

"How did she die? Where are they buried? Xiao Shiji asked lightly.

The voice is bland though. But Xiao Yi was terrified when he heard it. Hurriedly told Du Hengshuang about it.

He spoke clearly, starting from Guan Yunlian's violent illness and death, to Du Hengshuang's death in a fire after recuperating in Xiaojia Grange for a year. He made it clear that he knew the Tao, and at the end he said, "...... Not long after the funeral of the eldest and youngest grandmother, the news came that the uncle had died on the battlefield. His Majesty gave the title of uncle, but because the eldest young master was still young, he asked the second master to borrow it, and said that when the eldest young master grew up, he would return it to the eldest young master. ”

Xiao Shiji looked down at Du Hengshuang's tablet and asked coldly, "That's the Earl's Mansion you said?" Tygore is now an earl? The whole family has moved in? ”

Xiao Yi nodded, "Exactly." However, the second master said that the Earl's Mansion had enough manpower, and half a year ago he asked the little one to return to the old mansion to watch the door, and the little one was happy and relaxed, so he came back lazily. ”

Although Xiao Yi didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Shiji knew that Xiao Tai and disliked Xiao Yi as his confidant, so he changed his way to send him away.

Xiao Shiji nodded, "What about my two children?" Also in the Earl's Court? Who takes them? Is it my mother? ”

Du Hengshuang died, he also "passed away", and the two children were generally brought by grandmothers.

Xiao Yi was suffocated, but he honestly told Chen Yuejiao about taking the initiative to ask for a "yin marriage" with Xiao Shi and the tablet, and finally said: "...... Now it's the eldest grandmother looking at the eldest young master and the eldest lady. ”

Xiao Shihe's forehead was bruised, and he strode out of the road, "Lead the way ahead." ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly ran up and took Xiao Shiji to the Earl's Palace.

Because Xiao Yi led them, Xiao Shiji didn't make a sound, but they went all the way smoothly, entered the corner gate of the earl's palace, and then passed through the heavy hanging flower gate to the Chunhui Hall where Long Xiangye lived in the backyard.

There are two largest courtyards in the Earl's Palace, except for the main courtyard where Xiao Tai and Long Shuzhi lived, it was the largest and most magnificent Chunhui Hall where Long Xiangye lived.

Chen Yuejiao often brings her two children to play with Long Xiangye, and she comes all day.

The two children are quiet, unlike most children who start to be naughty when they are more than three years old.

At this time, it was early in the morning, Xiao Tai and Lu went out, and Long Shuzhi was in the upper room.

Chen Yuejiao took her two children to serve Long Xiangye and the two children for breakfast here.

Hearing that Xiao Yi asked to see, Long Xiangye frowned and said, "What is he here for?" ”

Chen Yuejiao was very enveloped by Xiao Yi, and hurriedly said: "Mother, let's see you." It's the person who the uncle used to use, so it's not too rash. ”

Long Xiangye nodded, put down his chopsticks and said, "Let him in." ”

Xiao Yi took Xiao Shiji up the steps.

Walking into the gate of Chunhui Hall, Xiao Yi first saluted Long Xiangye, and then asked Brother Ping and Sister An how they were doing, before nodding at Chen Yuejiao, turning back to Xiao Shiji and saying, "Uncle, the old lady is here." He pointed to Brother Ping and Sister An sitting at the dinner table and said, "This is Brother Ping and Sister An." ”

Brother Ping and Sister An watched a tall man with a full beard walk in, blocking the door tightly, a little scared, and couldn't help but get closer to each other. They timidly looked up at Chen Yuejiao, hoping to get her attention and comfort, but when they saw Chen Yuejiao, they looked at the bearded man with a surprised face, and they didn't see the two of them with half an eye.

Brother Ping'er's eyes darkened, he reached out to hold Sister An'er's hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't be afraid." ”

Sister An trembled and nodded, but saw the bearded man striding over, picked up Sister An who was sitting in the seat, and held it up in front of her to look closely, her eyes were already full of tears.

Sister An and Du Hengshuang were born more and more similar when they were children.

"Wow...... Brother...... Mother...... Foster Mother...... Grandmother ......" Sister An was so frightened by Xiao Shiji's eyes that she cried.

Her cry alarmed the people of Chunhui Hall.

Long Xiangye's eldest maids, Mei Xiang and He Rui, came out of the back room and were stunned when they saw a tall man holding Sister An.

Xiao Yi smiled: "That's the uncle is back." ”

"Uncle?! Uncle is not dead?! Mei Xiang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly came over to salute.

Soon, the news that Xiao Shiji did not die spread all over the Xiao family.

The subordinates of the inner courtyard flocked to Xiao Shi and kowtowed.

In their hearts, Xiao Shiji is always the master of the Xiao family.

Although Xiao Taiji attacked the knight, there was always a little bit of something.

The subordinates in the outer courtyard also got the news, some people knew that something was wrong, so they ran away, and some people hurried out to find Xiao Taiji.

Long Xiangye's Chunhui Hall was crowded for a while.

Brother Ping saw Sister An crying so sadly, he didn't care that he was also afraid, climbed down from the chair, ran to Xiao Shiji's side and said loudly: "Put my sister down!" Put my sister down! You scared her! ”

Xiao Shiji glanced at Brother Ping'er, and gently shook Sister An in the crook of his rocking arm with his right hand.

Sister An suddenly felt a very reassuring taste, coming from Xiao Shiji's arm, which she had never felt from others.

Only then did Long Xiangye understand that Xiao Shiji was not dead, he came back alive!

"It's a great event for our family. Boss, come here, you should thank Xie Yuejiao. For the sake of your two children, she would rather hold your tablet to get married, and now that you are back, you have to treat her well. ”

Chen Yuejiao stepped forward shyly and timidly, and saluted Xiao Shi and Fushen, "Uncle is back, it's really a blessing for the concubine." He also said: "The uncle has just come back, and he is covered in dust, let the concubine serve the uncle to wash." ”

Xiao Shiji looked at Chen Yuejiao with a gloomy face, kicked his chest with a heartwarming kick, and gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tzu is not dead!" Fucking Yin Marriage! ”
