When I looked up, I was stunned!

"You...... Do you have anything to say to my son? I looked a little unnaturally away from the other person's face.

"The old slave wants to say a few words to the prime minister alone." The Prime Minister's four words were extremely stiff, and they sounded very strange in the dark.

"Don't go, childe, beware of fraud!"

"It's just a few words, and it won't delay the prime minister's time too much. …… Or is it that the dignified prime minister of the country doesn't even have the guts? ”

"You! ……”

I stretched out my hand to stop my subordinates' words, got up and stood out, "The radical law has always had no effect on my son, but my son wants to see and see, what kind of ghost is hidden in the heart of the person who stopped my son's carriage late at night!" ”

"Childe!" When my subordinates opened their mouths to shout, I had already jumped out and stood in front of the man in the darkness.

The man standing across from me was covered in a black cloak, and even his face was covered with a black scarf, leaving only the old eyes under the brim of his hat, which were heavy and flat, as if they had been carved by time and had become full of holes.

However, even under this layer of wrapping and deliberately burying his identity, I can still see his identity at a glance.

Came to a secluded corner.

"Who else escaped back then?" I turned my head away and stared into one of his eyes. He is Xuanyuan Yu's butler, and he should have been beheaded ten years ago along with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he is living in this world, and at this moment, he appears in front of my eyes.

"After the matter was revealed, the women in the house were distributed, and the men had been beheaded. Maybe it's because the old slave has a big life, in the months after the incident, I happened to go out on an errand on the orders of the adults to escape. ”

"Really?" That's really fateful, so he can escape, hehe......

"Isn't the little boy curious, what did the adults ask me to do back then?"

"What does Xuanyuan Yu want you to do, and what does it have to do with me?" I didn't take his words to heart at all.

"Is the little boy still holding a grudge against the adult?"

"Hold a grudge? Tsk, it's just a dead man, and this son is not full of food, how can he go back and worry so much about a dead man. ”

"Hey...... If the adults had known that there would be such a catastrophe, they would not have kept the secret buried back then, and they could not be forgiven by the little prince until after his death. ”

"Secret?" I looked up all at once.

He took out something from his black-robed trench coat, a beautifully carved wood carving in the shape of a sheep, and two horns were inlaid with two white jade the size of opals. I remember that this was my mother's favorite thing before her death, which was carved by my father and given to my mother, and the reason why I carved sheep's horns to give to my sister was also because my father taught me some wood carving work before his death.

"This thing...... Why, will it be with you? "Under the fire that year, my father and mother, together with more than 200 lives in the house gate, could not be spared, how did this small wood carving survive?

"This is the old lady handed over to the adult, and the adult has been carefully keeping."

"Did my mother give it to Xuanyuan Yu? …… How can it be! This thing was carved by his father and then given to his mother, and his mother has a treasured treasure, how could he transfer it to Xuanyuan Yu?! "I screamed as if I had heard a big joke.

"This is the old lady's time before she dies

It is handed over to an adult for safekeeping. ”

"What do you mean by that? What is called before the mother dies? Could she ...... Knowing you're going to die? ”

"Not only did the old lady know that she was going to die, but she also asked the adults to do it."

"What did you say?!" It was dark in front of me, as if I couldn't react.

The breeze came slowly, with a hint of coolness, I walked back in despair, my fingers lifted the robe coldly, and my subordinates were first happy when they saw me coming back, and then they saw my appearance clearly, and they were shocked.

"Childe, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm a little tired, I'll go back to the house first...... "Mu Ran got into the carriage and sat inside, his eyes were pale, his brain was blank, and he repeated the words of the butler just now." Everything adults do is to protect you, little boy! Confused......"

Eighteen years ago, the Xuanyuan family was already a big family in the Guiheng Kingdom, and the surname Xuanyuan was already rare, so it was difficult to be one of the four major families in the world at the same time, and to sacrifice himself in the palace and hold important positions in the imperial court.

At that time, I was three years old and Xuanyuan Yu was fourteen.

My mother has said since I was a child that my personality is different from Xuanyuan Yu, he has a gentle and stable personality, and he became the master of the second prince at a young age. And although I am only three years old, my mother, who is already sharp-eyed, can also see my temperament, she said that I am a child, and my future character will inevitably be a wild horse that cannot be restrained by anyone. It is naturally good to be able to pursue oneself in this way, but in the business field and officialdom, it is destined to suffer a lot.

My father has always been very busy because of the affairs of the DPRK and the Chinese government and the family business, especially when it comes to the end of the year, and he has not been seen for several months, which is a common thing.

The mother never complained about her father's neglect of her, but always waited quietly at home for her father to come back. The waiting days were always very long, and she would ask her servants to carry the table and stove outside the courtyard, and ask me to write and draw with one hand. Niang's font is very beautiful, there is a kind of famous atmosphere of everyone's ladies, her paintings are also very handsome, not the ordinary women's flowers, grasses, insects and fish, but splashed ink landscapes, heroic mountains and rivers, full of momentum, people see, I don't think it is from a woman's handwriting at all. Of course, what I remember more deeply is the sound of my mother's piano.

Whenever I took a pen to learn to write, my mother would ask people to take out the piano, and there was a low table on the side, and I watched me write while playing the piano. Her piano sound, always with some kind of magic, soothed my inner impetuousness and riot, just like the smile on her face, always with the warmth of the March spring breeze, which makes people unnaturally want to get closer and touch that wisp of warmth.

On the day of the New Year, it was supposed to be a good day for a family reunion, but my father didn't come back, and the table of four became a little unsatisfactory because of him.

"Today, it's our Yu'er's fifteenth birthday, this is the poached egg that my mother cooked for you herself, come, eat one, the year is rolling, the year is safe......"

"Thank you, mother!"

"Mother...... I'm going to eat ...... too."

"Okay, my mother promised you, when you celebrate your birthday next year, my mother will also cook you a bowl of poached eggs like this, okay?!"

"Hmmm! Thank you, mother, mother, the best! ”

"You guys, but they are all the flesh of your mother's heart, your mother doesn't care about you, who else can you be good to?"

After eating, firecrackers are set off, and the streets are full of good breath for the New Year.

In the evening, my mother came over with the new clothes she had made for me and asked me to try them on.

In fact, in addition to writing and painting and playing the piano, my mother's hands are also special at tailoring and cooking.

I've grown so big, and most of the clothes I wear are out of my mother's hand.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it, as long as it's made by my mother, I like it!"

"If you like it...... In the future, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to do something for Feng'er. As she spoke, she was stunned and burst into tears.

I was frightened, and I learned from the way my father used to pat my mother to comfort her when she was angry, "My mother doesn't cry or cry......"

"It's just a little too regrettable, I can't make these things for Feng'er in the future."

"Why can't my mother make these things for me anymore?"

"Because...... In the future, when Feng'er grows up, she will marry a daughter-in-law, these things, if you have a daughter-in-law to help you do it, you don't need your mother to do it. ”

At that time, I was too young to understand the meaning of a daughter-in-law, but seeing that my mother was unhappy, I was also sad in my heart, so I patted my chest and said, "After that, Feng'er will not marry a daughter-in-law, and my mother can always do it for Feng'er!" ”

"How can you not marry a daughter-in-law, Feng'er will grow up after all, just like her father marries her mother, she will think that your mother will be as good to you as your father is to you in the future."

"Feng'er doesn't understand."

"Later, you'll understand...... In the future, if Feng'er meets the woman she likes, she can't always be so naughty, she has to be good to other girls, she can't fight back and scold and don't return her mouth, she can't let her be cold and hungry, and accompany her more when she has time, it is not easy for a woman to be born, Feng'er has to be doubly good to her, remember her mother's words? ”

"Hmmm! Feng'er knows! ”

"Mother will leave you in the future, Feng'er has to learn to sleep alone, dress alone, what do you like and want, just tell your brother, Yu'er is so gentle and temperamental, she will definitely be good to you in the future, and your father and I can put our minds at ease."

"Feng'er has a father and mother who are good to me, what do you want to tell the people in the house, why do you want to tell my brother?"

"Because, in this world, you and he are relatives, blood is thicker than water, except for your father and mother in this world, there is no one who will be more sincere to you than him, good to you, Feng'er has to promise her mother, and she will talk to her brother more in the future, Yu'er is still so young, she has done so many things, and it is not easy."

"Eun, Feng'er knows!"

"Also, if Yu'er does something wrong in the future, Feng'er must also be considerate of his brother, because, no matter what he does wrong, it is your brother, and he only has you as a younger brother, you can't break his heart, remember?"

"Remember!"

“……”

That night, my mother hugged me and sat outside the yard to watch the fireworks, and said a lot of strange things, it was the first night of the New Year, as in the past, there was no abnormality, my father was in the second half of the night to come back for the New Year, at that time, our family of four, gathered in the yard, dumplings, fireworks, and made a wish......

After the first shift, I couldn't help but feel sleepy.

"Mother, the wind is sleepy......"

"Daddy finally came back today, you bear with me, wait for us to finish writing New Year's resolutions together, and then go to bed, okay?"

My mother has always pampered me, and there has never been a day like today when I was forced to stay, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but I just felt that under the lights, my father's smile was much kinder than usual, and my mother held me with one hand, and held my brother's palm with one hand, and a layer of moisture gradually appeared under my eyes.

"Okay, I've finished writing my wishes, Xiaoqing, you take Feng'er to sleep." Xiaoqing is the maid who was the dowry maid of the mother, and she is a woman with the same good temperament as her mother, I usually call her Aunt Qing.
