The wanderer returns home, and he is timid. [No pop-up novel network]

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the flow of people on the street outside the window, whether it is Xiao Mo, or Xiao Shenyan or Wang Jirui, their expressions seem to be calm, but there is a certain emotion in their eyes.

Get up, for the Changzhi City in front of him, Xiao Mo is far less familiar than Deyang City and Shanxian County, but after entering the city, there is a certain throbbing in his heart, no matter what, most of Xiao Mo's relatives live here, so no matter how strange it is, this is also Xiao Mo's "home".

Liu's, Xiao Shenxing and others' love for Xiao Mo, after four years, is still clear, even if Xiao Mo is indifferent by nature and has crossed over, but in his heart, he has already truly regarded them as his relatives and elders.

After four years, after becoming famous, I finally went home.

Recalling the frightened escape from Changzhi City, Xiao Mo only felt like a world away.

Xiao Mo did not inform the Xiao Mansion of the news of his imminent return in advance, and kept a low profile all the way, just wanting to surprise Liu, Xiao Shenxing and others, and not wanting them to prepare too much because of the return of Xiao Mo and Xiao Shenyan.

Seeing Xiao Mo's expression in a little trance, Xiao Shenyan smiled and said: "Mo'er, you should be happy when you go home, now you are also home, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely be proud of you." ”

Xiao Mo nodded silently, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Fourth grandfather, did you say that your grandfather and grandmother have been doing well over the years?" ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Xiao Shenyan was also silent.

As far as Xiao Mo knew, in the first year after Xiao Mo and Xiao Shenyan fled from Changzhi City, the situation of the Xiao family was very bad.

The robbery of the Xiao family that year not only disabled Xiao Shenxing due to torture, but also several family members died tragically in prison, and the soldiers were arrogant. In addition, before the catastrophe of the Xiao family, Xiao Shenxing divided more than half of the land, and the Xiao family four years ago, even after being rehabilitated, was far worse than it was back then.

And because of that unjust case, countless clansmen of the Xiao family were imprisoned one after another, even if they were not guilty of being released from prison afterwards, those distant relatives who blamed their prisons on Benzong also began to gradually become estranged from Benzong, and had little contact. People in the world are like this, they will only remember to complain and hate, but it is easy to forget to be grateful.

Coupled with the illness of Liu, Xiao Shenxing and others, there was a time when the Xiao family even needed to sell their land and borrow money to support their mouths, which was the news that Xiao Mo got three years ago.

Although Xiao Mo got a lot of money through writing books afterwards, half of which was sent to the Xiao family, it is unknown how much it played.

In the past three years, Xiao Shenyan has been deliberately hiding the news of the Xiao family from Xiao Mo, afraid that Xiao Mo will be distracted by studying, and Xiao Mo has been afraid of getting worse news since a serious illness back then, but he has also avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, just turning the worry in his heart into motivation and studying hard.

So in the past three years, how the Liu family, Xiao Shenxing and others are doing, Xiao Mo is not clear, the closer they get to the Xiao family, the more Xiao Mo has hidden the worry in his heart for too long, and the more he can't suppress it.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Shenyan finally endured the burden in his heart, and comforted Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, you don't have to worry, the money you have sent home in the past three years has been thousands, enough for the income of the Xiao family for two years in previous years, plus the vitality of the Xiao family is still there, no matter what, your grandfather and grandmother will not be unable to live, not to mention, now that you have achieved fame, your name has already spread to Huanzhou, and the officials here will definitely not dare to embarrass our Xiao family." ”

Hearing Xiao Shenyan's relief, Xiao Mo's worry eased slightly, nodded lightly, and didn't say anything more.

Under Xiao Shenyan's guidance, Deng Shangquan drove the carriage smoothly, and it didn't take long for him to come outside the Xiao Mansion back then.

In other words, it was dozens of feet away in front of the Xiao Mansion.

When Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenyan, Wang Jirui and others stepped out of the carriage and looked at the Xiao family in the distance, they were all stunned.

The mansion in front of them was really the Xiao family's mansion in their impression?

Deng Shangquan was not unwilling to drive the carriage directly to the gate of the Xiao Mansion, but it was because there were too many carriages outside the Xiao Mansion, densely packed, and the traffic was busy, all of which were parked outside the gate of the Xiao Mansion until they were dozens of zhang away, and under the crowding, the carriage of Xiao Mo and others could not get close.

In the carriage in front, there were many people who were richly dressed, either from the government or from the city, but at this moment, waiting outside the door of the Xiao Mansion, they were not impatient, but they were looking forward to it, occasionally talking to each other, but just waiting silently.

The Xiao family's mansion is not as dark as Xiao Mo imagined, but it seems that Gangzhou has been renovated, and it is much more magnificent and luxurious than four years ago. "Let's go, let's see." Xiao Shenyan said.

Xiao Mo nodded, simply left the carriage alone, and walked towards the door of Xiao Mansion with Wang Jirui and Deng Shangquan.

When they came to the gate and saw the plaque of the Xiao Mansion hanging on the door, Xiao Mo and Xiao Shenyan both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Before, looking at the bustling and prosperous outside the Xiao Mansion that was completely different from the past, Xiao Mo was once worried about whether it was Xiao Shenxing and the Liu family who sold their old mansion.

After alleviating the worries in my heart

3rd floor

Looking at the people coming and going outside the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Mo's heart turned slightly, and he roughly understood the reason why the Xiao Mansion seemed so prosperous at the moment.

It seems that after Xiao Mo became famous all over the world, the repercussions caused in Changzhi City were far greater than Xiao Mo imagined.

Looking at Xiao Shenyan and smiling, the two walked towards the Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Mo was anxious to meet Liu and Xiao Shenxing, and at this moment, he rarely had the steadiness and calmness of the past, and he stepped up the ladder in two steps. I'm about to walk towards the house. On the other side, Xiao Shenyan's movements were not much slower than Xiao Mo. However, before Xiao Mo and the others entered the Xiao Mansion, they were stopped by several small servants who greeted them in front of the door.

"This lord, this son, are you two here to visit my Xiao Mansion? At this moment, Lord Zhao Muxian, the governor of Huanzhou, Lord Sun Rang, the Taishou of Changzhi, and the Lord Zhang Qing of Yingcheng are guests in the house, and the lord and the old lady of the family have no time to meet others for the time being. Please also ask a few of you to wait for a while, and after a few adults leave, the little one will inform you. ”

After hearing this little guy's words, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that so many big people would appear in the family at this moment. "Did you just enter the Xiao Mansion? How come I never met you? , Xiao Mo looked at the little guy in front of him and asked.

Hearing Xiao Mo's inquiry, this little guy couldn't help but be stunned.

Since a year ago, Xiao Mo has been famous all over the world. Everyone in the world knows the people who came to visit the Xiao Mansion. Officials or people, from morning to night, there is an endless stream, and the various side branches and distant relatives who have gradually become estranged from the Xiao family come to greet Xiao Shenxing and the Liu family every day. There are even some who simply live in Xiao Mansion and don't leave.

Because there are too many guests. Most of the original servants of the Xiao family had dispersed four years ago, and they were even more understaffed, so they recruited dozens of new subordinates. And this little guy is one of them.

There was a little more respect in his expression, and the little servant bowed to Xiao Mo and said, "The little one did just enter the Xiao family a year ago, may I ask if the guest is the old friend of the Xiao family?" I was rude just now, so please wait with me in the side room. After the old man and the old lady have met those adults, I will immediately report it.

In fact. At this moment, the side room is already full of waiting guests, otherwise outside the Xiao Mansion, there would not be so many people who can only sit in the carriage and wait. Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenyan and others were dressed ordinarily, and they came on foot, and the little guy didn't value it very much, but looking at Xiao Mo and Xiao Shenyan seemed to be the old people of the Xiao family. The reluctant decision made several people enter the house and wait. Seeing that this little guy answered with ease in advancing and retreating, Xiao Mo felt good. Just as he wanted to report his identity, a voice full of disdain. Suddenly, it came from behind the little guy. "Haha, when did my Xiao family have so many old people? It's funny. When my Xiao family was down a year ago, why hadn't I seen an old man visit? Now that Brother Mo has become the number one talent in the world, even today's official family attaches great importance to it, and the Xiao family is about to begin to develop and prosper, so many old people have appeared overnight!! Hum!! As this voice sounded, Xiao Mo raised his head and looked towards the mansion, but saw a richly dressed young man who appeared at some point, looking at Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenyan and others at this moment and sneering. "Seventh Young Master."

After the young man appeared, the little guys who greeted the guests outside the door bowed and saluted.

The young man nodded arrogantly, walked in front of Xiao Mo and the others, and sneered: "What is the relationship between you and the Xiao family?" Tell me about it. If you are related to the Xiao family, why have I never met you? If I had only met with someone from my Xiao family a few decades ago, I wouldn't have said it, just go to the back and wait in line for the old lady to meet me. As he spoke, the young man lowered his head slightly, and saw that in the hands of Xiao Mo and the others, they didn't even bring gifts, but wrapped countless them, as if they were moving, thinking that they were some distant relatives who had taken refuge. I don't like it even more. On the other side, as the young man appeared, Xiao Mo looked at Xiao Shenyan suspiciously, but saw that Xiao Shenyan also shook his head suspiciously.

Judging from the attitude of the servants and the words of this young man, he should be a relative of the Xiao family, but for this young man, Xiao Mo has never seen him.

Seeing that Xiao Mo and the others did not answer their own inquiries, the young man was even more impatient, and waved his hand like a fly: "If you can't say it, go to the back and line up, in the side room, it is either a distant relative of my Xiao family, or the head of a big family in the city, or an official, where is you (web user, please log in. сom download format users log in to с this kind of can go. , Hearing this young man say this, whether it was Xiao Mo or Xiao Shenyan, they finally couldn't stop holding back, and they couldn't help but be angry.

The affairs of the Xiao family, even Xiao Mo himself, will only discuss with all the elders. Where is it the turn of this unknown relative in front of me to point fingers? What's more, isn't this person doing this to damage the reputation of the Xiao family?

In the more than ten years since Xiao Mo came to this era, the people he has seen, or the city government is deep, even if he has malicious intentions, it is impossible to show such arrogance; or be sleek, and never judge people by their appearance; or upright, let alone such a powerful face.

Today, Xiao Mo has almost forgotten that there are such shallow people in the world.

The most ridiculous thing is that this shallow person is still his own relative. "Who are you? What is the relationship with the Xiao family? Why haven't I ever seen you? Xiao Mo stared at the person in front of him and asked coldly.
