Walking into his home, in the courtyard of the Qin Mansion of the Halberd Twelve, Qin Mubai felt a familiar excitement and throbbing, which was the same as the feeling he felt when he went to the army to visit his father, who was the commander of the group army in his previous life, both a little proud and a little stressed.

Speaking from his heart, Qin Mubai never thought of being immersed in the glory and achievements of his father's generation, being a second ancestor, otherwise he would not have embarked on the path of an archer, in order to open up a sky of his own to prove himself.

In this life, it was still the case in the Tang Dynasty.

The glory and achievements of his father Qin Shubao may be convenient for himself, but those halos always belong only to his father.

No matter how pampered or humiliating, a road is paved under your feet after all, and you have to rely on yourself to walk through it step by step.

"Third young master, the lord and the lady are in the main hall of the back house, come and pay respects!" The servants introduced Qin Mubai into the compound, and then resigned and retired. The master's family affairs are not for the servants to intervene in.

Uncle Qin is precious as the prince of the country and the general of the three grades of the dynasty, and the twelve halberds set up by the Xunmen are indescribably expensive, but this compound is relatively simple. There is no imaginary splendor and the iconic group of servants and maids of wealthy families come and hug, and even a little deserted and desolate.

The tiled house with large arched eaves and the rough bluestone slab road reveal a simple and simple connotation and the majestic beauty of the thick lines everywhere, and the unique rough and vigorous atmosphere of the military family is blowing in the face.

The front house is only used to entertain guests and rest horses, Qin Mubai walked all the way towards the back house, and met several servants in the house on the way, most of them just stopped slightly and bowed their hands or said a woman's ceremony, which was not like the Qing Palace film and television drama to bow head-on and bow down.

"It turns out that the people of the Tang Dynasty were not seriously enslaved by the Qing Dynasty. When these servants saw me, not only did they bow down on their knees, but they also did not mention the words 'slaves' or 'slaves', and at most called themselves 'villains'. It seems that I, like many people, have been poisoned too deeply by the flood of 'Qing court opera', and I will learn more about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty in the future. ”

Although the Qin Mansion is simple, the area is not small. Walk through a corridor and tree-lined paths to the back house, which is the home house. A large tiled main house with arches and cornices stands in the middle, with two rows of courtyards on the side, and a row of slightly low servants' houses not far away.

No matter which row of houses, the uniform is to sit east and face west. This is the unified customization of Chang'an Mansion - it must not be in the same direction as the imperial city facing south, otherwise it will conflict with the dragon qi and be disrespectful.

Qin Mubai breathed slowly, gathered his mind, and steadily walked up the stairs of the main room towards the lobby. Just as he was curious to raise his eyes to see where there was something in the hall, he suddenly felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him!

"What a fierce breath...... This is the ferocious aura that only people who have walked in the mountain of blood and corpses have on their bodies, right? Qin Mubai once had such a feeling, and when he got along with several special forces instructors before, he vaguely felt this kind of "evil aura" emanating from them!

With his eyelids slightly raised, Qin Mubai saw a man in a purple brocade robe sitting in the right seat of the lobby.

Suddenly stunned, Qin Mubai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Dad?!"

The man in front of him actually looks almost exactly like his military commander father in his previous life!

The same restrained silence is like a mountain, the same is not angry and the eyes are like knives!

The slight difference is that the age of the person in front of him is slightly younger, about fifty years old, with a few locks of flowing hair that reaches to the abdomen, and his face is slightly pale and faintly revealing a sickly.

"Why don't you come and bow down to your father?" A female voice exuding joy came from the side, and Qin Mubai suddenly came back to his senses and found that there was a woman in her thirties and forties standing next to the main hall, which surprised him again!

This woman ...... It looks exactly like the mother of the music professor in her previous life!

"Is it really the past life and this life that are already predestined?!"

For a while, Qin Mubai's heartbeat was a little faster, but fortunately, as an archer, he had gone through countless special trainings, and his psychological quality had always been excellent, so he quickly calmed down and calmed down, stepped forward and fell to the ground.

"No, Qin Liang, meet my father!" The boy has gold under his knees, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, this worship, Qin Mubai is at ease, and there are some unexpected surprises and throbs in his heart, as if he has seen his father who will never see him again.

"You know you're not good?" Qin Shubao's voice was a little cold beyond Qin Mubai's expectations, and even a little unhappy and angry, "Say, why were you expelled from the army, didn't you make another mistake and be embarrassed?" ”

Qin Mubai's heart was slightly cold unexpectedly, and he didn't want to argue with his father at the moment, so he said honestly: "The child didn't make a mistake, but he suddenly received an order, and he was confused and puzzled. ”

A moment of silence.

Qin Mubai felt an invisible coercion like a closed air cavity, wrapping himself in it, and vaguely having trouble breathing.

"Forgive me, I don't dare to deceive the old man."

With a "du", Qin Shubao stood up from the couch with a cane. The woman next to him hurriedly came to help, and he waved his hand and said, "You take him back to give him a good life and admonish." I'm tired, and I'm going to rest on my own. ”

With that, Qin Shubao walked to the side on crutches, and soon disappeared by the side door of the main hall.

Qin Mubai glanced sideways at Qin Shubao who was staggering a little on crutches, but he was still standing upright, and thought faintly in his heart: It seems that Daddy's health is not very good...... It turns out that "I" is really not very likable at home, but it doesn't matter, I will change all this!

"San Lang, get up!" The woman stepped forward to help Qin Mubai with a happy face, and her kind eyes looked him up and down, and her love for licking calves was overflowing.

The memory in his mind told Qin Mubai that Qin Shubao's unworthy wife had died, and this was Qin Shubao's stepfamily and his biological mother Liu.

"Mother, I'm back." With a smile, Qin Mubai felt warm and peaceful in his heart. It's as if I have seen my real mother, the good wife and mother who has doted on me for nearly 30 years.

"It's been almost three years since you left home and served in the army, and it's good to be back now, my mother is happy." With tears in his eyes, Liu grabbed Qin Mubai's arms, kept looking her up and down, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Yes, my son has grown taller and stronger, and he is born with the same appearance as your father, and he is more well-behaved than before." Whoever dares to say that I am unscrupulous and stupid, I will never spare him! ”

Qin Mubai smiled: "What if it's my father?" ”

"He...... He is this kind of cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't you know that you have been his son for eighteen or nineteen years? Don't blame him, in fact, he is also happy in his heart, but he is stubborn and refuses to say it...... Well, don't talk about it. Quick, my mother has settled you in the reception banquet, come quickly! With that, Liu happily took Qin Mubai's hand and walked out of the main mansion and walked across the courtyard.

The step-concubine can only live in a side room across the courtyard, and the word "side room" lives up to its name. Although the Qin family's main mother and wife have been dead for many years, the Liu family, a concubine who has no support, can only live in the side room.

After entering the countryside and following the customs first, Qin Mubai had no objections for the time being, but he felt a little awkward in his heart. Moreover, the brief meeting with his father Qin Shubao just now, which can be called a 'glimpse', also made him feel that he and his mother did not seem to have any transcendent status in the Qin family.

"It's okay, it'll be fine later." In this regard, Qin Mubai just smiled slightly.

He is convinced that blood is thicker than water, and that he is no longer the unscrupulous son he used to be, and that one day he will have to change his father's attitude towards him, and his and his mother's position in the family.

Although he was a little unaccustomed to it, Qin Mubai still knelt down in front of the food table and watched his mother command his subordinates to put up plates of delicacies.

A feast, unusually rich. The fish in the south and the sheep in the north, the Tang Dynasty did not eat pork. On the table, there are all beautifully prepared lamb and fish dishes, as well as a few slices of scones sprinkled with black sesame seeds and scented with honey.

The smell was strange, and Qin Mubai's index finger moved.

"White Salon, Dried Fish, Jusheng Slave...... San Lang, all your favorite Chang'an dishes! Liu didn't sit at the table himself, but sat down next to the dining table and poured a glass of wine for Qin Mubai and handed it over, "Drink it, son, your father's treasured Sanle pulp in the Western Regions specially asked me to bring it to you to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”

Qin Mubai glanced at his mother, smiled, took the wine glass and drank it all.

Although the wine is light, the love is strong.

"Good wine!"

"Then have a few more drinks!"

"I'm going to pour wine for my mother!" Qin Mubai took the wine jug but found that there was only one cup on the table, and was about to get up to get the cup, when Liu Shi pulled him and said with a smile: "Silly child, how can a lady and a woman have a banquet at the same table with you?" I've already eaten, so fill yourself with food and drink. The more you eat, the happier you will be for your mother, and the more heart-warming it will be than eating this meal yourself. ”

Presumably this is also the custom of the Tang Dynasty, eating and drinking at separate tables, and men and women are not allowed to sit at the same table...... Qin Mubai didn't insist so as not to embarrass his mother, and began to chew on the food on the table, and a sentence couldn't help but burst out in his mind - what my brother eats is not food, but family affection!

"It's coming, it's coming! The world's No. 1 chef's special 'Little Sky Cake' is here! Suddenly, a crisp female voice came from the side door, and soon a goose-yellow figure flashed in. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl grinned at Qin Mubai, who looked very similar to Liu, and there were two small dimples at the corners of her mouth when she laughed.

"Third brother, welcome back! My little sister personally cooked this famous dish of Chang'an to comfort you! ”

Liu smiled long: "Naughty four girls, come over and give your brother a salute first!" ”

"Little sister is exempt from these vulgar rites!" Qin Mubai Wan'er smiled: This is my mother's own sister, the only girl in the Qin family, and the youngest fourth - Qin Shuang'er.

It's pretty and looks cute!
