"Master Hou, look for me, what's wrong?" Linglong asked.

Hou Ye handed the box he was holding to Linglong, "Open it and take a look, do you like it or not?" ”

Linglong was a little flattered, she took the box, but looked at it for a while, and did not open it, because she felt that the contents must be very valuable.

"Open it and take a look!" Hou Ye looked at Linglong, his eyes were full of love.

Linglong slowly opened the wooden box, only to see a "piano score" inside, Linglong picked up the piano book, opened it and took a look, this piano sheet seems to have some history, and the paper inside is yellowed. It's just that Linglong doesn't understand why Hou Ye gave her this piano score today.

This is the only book with the longest history in the palace of the Southern Shang Kingdom, which records the rhythm, fingering, tune, system and other related records of the previous qin music. You have always been a good piano, and I think you will love this score, which is a special reward from the king. "Hou Ye actually went to the king to ask for this piano score for her, and he must have taken a lot of errands.

Linglong was a little moved, she looked at Hou Ye, the face that had gone through vicissitudes of life, was full of relief at the moment. Linglong stood there for a long time without speaking, just kept looking at the piano book.

"What? Dislike? Hou Ye asked.

"No, it's not." Linglong felt that Hou Ye had treated her as her own daughter at the moment, but she was not Miss Rulan after all, and Linglong's purpose in entering the Hou Mansion was to murder Hou Ye, thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"My lord, but I am not your biological daughter, Linglong does not dare to accept this gift!" Linglong closed the wooden box and offered it with both hands.

Hou Ye looked at Linglong, thoughtful, and then said slowly: "You don't know, in fact, in my heart, there is no one who can replace Rulan's position in my heart, but, do you know? Rulan's death has always been a pain in my heart that can never be erased, and for this pain, I have often had nightmares in the past few years, and I have often condemned myself. But no matter what, Rulan can't come back after all, but since that day I saw you playing the piano in the mountains, I thought of Rulan, I always believed that Rulan would not leave me like this, when I went to worship her that day, at that time, you appeared, I always felt that Rulan wanted to tell me, let me stop grieving for her, and you will stay by my side for her, complete her unfinished filial piety. ”

After Miss Rulan's death, this may be the first time that Hou Ye has spoken to someone like this, or it may be the pain in Hou Ye's heart, which makes him feel that keeping Linglong in the Hou Mansion may be a little comforted in his heart.

Seeing Linglong is like seeing Rulan still alive in this world, in fact, it is also a manifestation of Hou Ye's unwillingness to accept reality, but no matter what, he treats Linglong like his own daughter.

Linglong looked at Hou Ye, and was so moved that she left tears at this time, watching Hou Ye can't let go of Miss Rulan's death, this kind of family love has really been retained until a few years after Miss Rulan's death.

Also because she has been an orphan since she was a child, she has never felt her father's love, and at this moment she really feels that she is really happy, and she is so moved that she left a tear.

"Linglong is willing to complete her unfinished filial piety for Miss Rulan." Linglong bowed down to express her gratitude to the Hou Ye.

"It's late at night, you rest early." Hou Ye left after speaking, maybe the words he just said made his heart hurt again, a pain that can never be erased in his life, and it is also the sorrow of his life.

Linglong looked at the back of Hou Ye leaving home, and suddenly felt that he was much older, and the black back slowly disappeared into the night.

Linglong held the wooden box in her hand and carefully placed it, it was the first gift she had ever received in her life. And this gift is really precious, more precious than any other gold and silver jewelry.
