In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, and Liu Sanzhi, who was weak, could not sleep. I got up and pushed the door out, and I saw a gray-haired old man standing outside the door with a bucket. The old man looked at Liu Sanzhi and didn't speak, his eyes were full of love.

"Grandpa Guo!" Liu Sanzhi snatched the barrel from the old man's hand and hugged the old man with teary eyes. The old man patted Liu Sanzhi's head, gently pushed Liu Sanzhi away, wiped Liu Sanzhi's face, and said with a smile: "Sanzhi, I have lost weight!" Before Liu Sanzhi could speak, the old man continued: "The lady's mausoleum is on the southern slope of the mountain behind, do you want to go and see it now?"

Liu Sanzhi wiped his tears again and said, "Grandpa Guo, take me quickly!" Seeing that the old man did not move, Liu Sanzhi was stunned.

The old man said: "If you don't bring Lang Jun, you will tell me everything." Liu Sanzhi suddenly realized, of course he had to let his father!

Liu Sanzhi hurriedly returned to the room, carefully picked up the jar containing his father's ashes, held it in his arms, and walked out. The old man looked at the ashes altar in Liu Sanzhi's hand, and it was already full of old tears. The old man is Guo Qing, a slave of the Liu family for generations, Liu's father, Liu Dongzhi, and Liu Sanzhi are all Guo Qing's upbringing, and their feelings are extremely deep.

Guo Qing slowly knelt down, and after bowing three times to the altar of Liu's father's ashes, he got up and said, "Sanzhi, let's go." Chao'er hasn't gotten up yet, so don't call her. ”

The two walked away slowly, and finally saw Liu Mu's mausoleum in front of a low hill north of the east courtyard of Taifu Mansion. The Liumu Mausoleum is located in the middle of Shanyang, with a hill behind it, a pond in front, a pillow mountain and a water, and a layer of mountains and mountains. In front of the mausoleum is a green field, green grass, dotted with various colors of plums. The mausoleum is not huge, but it is exquisite and ingenious. On the tombstone, the seal is engraved with "The Tomb of the Late Ancestor Liu Mu Lin Lingqian". In front of the tombstone, various offerings are placed, and the melons and fruits are fresh.

Liu Sanzhi gently placed his father's ashes altar in front of the tombstone, leaned over and bowed down, and did not get up for a long time. After Guo Qing bowed a few times with Liu Sanzhi, he got up and cleaned the already clean and tidy mausoleum. Guo Qing looked at Liu Sanzhi, whose head was buried in the ground from time to time, and his shoulders and back trembled, and he also cried.

I don't know how much time passed, Liu Sanzhihua raised her head with a face and looked at the tombstone blankly, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, the child has brought Grandpa back! When the eldest brother comes back, we will let Grandpa sleep with you." After that, the four of us as a family will never be separated again... ”

"Auntie, the eldest brother forgives me, forgive me! The child is very happy! Look, look at me... Liu Sanzhi spoke incoherently and lost his voice again.

I don't know how long it has been. A faint voice came: "What is the basis for death, the body is the same as the mountain, the people have passed away, who am I to return to?"

"The body is the same as the mountain, and the body is the same as the mountain... Liu Sanzhi muttered, and when he looked back, he saw that Guo Lao was no longer there, and an old man with long hair and casual clothes was standing behind him, brushing his beard and groaning.

Although Liu Sanzhi didn't know who it was, he still got up and bowed. The old man looked at Liu Sanzhi with a smile, walked to the tombstone and sat down, gently stroked Liu's father's ashes, and muttered: "Old Five, we finally meet again after many years!"

"Why did you go to the Emperor's secret hiding alone? Didn't you say that I would accompany you? You unrighteous fellow! You self-righteous thing! Lao Tzu has been thinking about you for so many years, and you came to see me like this? You are looking for a smoke? You beat you less back then? Dog things, you come out for me, you stand up for me! Affection and care, soul must be momentary and nine reverses... ”

At the beginning, Liu Sanzhi was very angry when he saw the old man scolding his father, but with the old man's words, Liu Sanzhi felt more and more that the old man had a strong attachment to his father, and couldn't help but cry again.

The early morning breeze ruffles the pond water, and the trees and flowers sway. Under the early sun of the rising east, an old man and a young man, sitting and kneeling, were silent in front of the mausoleum for a long time.

The morning bell of Xing'an came from afar, waking up the silent two. The old man didn't get up, quietly wiped his face, turned his head to Liu Sanzhi and smiled, "Do you know who I am?"

Liu Sanzhi still didn't know who this person was, bowed his head and said, "Sanzhi knocks to see Taifu!" Su Wu smiled and said, "Call me uncle! Get up and sit down." Liu Sanzhi knelt down and sat up, and called out to his uncle.

Su Wu combed the messy hair on his head and said, "I went to look for you before dawn to see him." Su Wu pointed to Liu's father's columbarium. "I didn't expect you to come here early in the morning. I chased after me again. Ahem... ”

Liu Sanzhi muttered: "I... ”

Su Wu waved his hand: "Blame me for being in a hurry, don't blame you! Seeing him today, I also got a wish, and my heart is much more comfortable!" Su Wu saw that Liu Sanzhi still had a sad look, and said slowly: "Sanzhi, I just said two sentences behind you, do you remember?"

"What is the basis for death, the body is the same as the mountain. Liu Sanzhi replied. There are two sentences in front of it, relatives or residual sorrow, others have also sang, what to rely on when you die, and the body is the same as the mountain. Do you know what it means?" Although Liu Sanzhi had read poetry books to the fullest, he had never heard these four lines of poetry, but he only vaguely knew some meaning, so he shook his head.

These four verses were written by a sage, meaning that relatives may still be grieving, but others are already singing. If you are gone, you will be gone, so you will be in the hills. ”

"Master always has such beautiful verses, which are admirable. A grim voice came from behind Liu Sanzhi. "Fourth, you're early. Su Wu said with a smile. "No matter how early I come, I can't help you wander around!" Yan Wei nodded at Liu Sanzhi, who turned around, and said meticulously.

"Hehe, I said fourth, don't be so serious, don't be scared to disperse. Suvu said. "As long as you don't run around behind our backs, I'll change!" Yan Wei didn't back down.

"Okay, you stay and let me talk to Sanyuki. Su Wu said impatiently. "Sanzhi, your fourth brother is like this, don't care!

Liu Sanzhi was saluting Yan Wei, and hurriedly turned his head and said, "Just now you mentioned the meaning of the four poems. ”

"Yes, that's what it means. The deceased is gone. It's like your parents, they die in the same cave, they live in the hills, their souls merge together, and they ascend to heaven hand in hand, how do we know that they are unhappy?

"Are you willing to let your parents look at your sad face all day long?" Su Wu said: "It's better to let go, it's better to open your mind! Let them watch you devote yourself to this life full of vitality, and let them see that you are safe and happy, okay?"

Liu Sanzhi nodded silently, although he didn't have time to digest Su Wu's teachings, his face was already a little pale.

"To know how to let go, your grandfather's urn will be placed in the room over there, don't hold it anymore. Tomorrow morning, we will bury him with your mother. Su Wu said, "Let's go, come back with me to have breakfast and meet your aunt and two sisters." ”

Liu Sanzhi looked at the ash altar hesitantly, but heard Yan Wei say, "Don't worry! ”

"Fourth, Xiaowei, what's the matter with you? Don't help me up! After sitting for a long time, Lao Tzu's legs are numb. Su Wu scolded with a smile. Liu Sanzhi and Yan Wei hurriedly helped Su Wu up left and right. Yan Wei wanted to carry Su Wu on his back, but Su Wu scolded: "Get out, Lao Tzu can still walk, help me!" The three of them walked less than thirty steps, and Yan Wei waved his hand to let several military schools carry them over. Yan Wei couldn't help but say that he hugged Su Wu to the chariot, and Su Wu shook his head helplessly.

Liu Sanzhi wanted to go back and see Chao'er, but seeing Su Wu's excited appearance, he didn't have a good time to speak. When the three of them came to the front hall of the backyard, Liu San saw a beautiful woman holding Mu Qingyu's hand and talking, with tears on their faces.

Yan Wei bowed to the beautiful woman: "Master!" The beautiful woman nodded, and looked towards Liu Sanzhi: "Disperse?!" Liu Sanzhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Aunt." ”

Wang Junlian wiped the tears on her face, pulled Liu Sanzhi with one hand, and pulled Mu Qingyu with the other: "Quick, quick, go to the table to eat." As he spoke, he pulled the two of them and walked to the middle.

Liu Sanzhi was surprised to find that in the middle of the lobby was a small round high table, which was full of dishes and dishes, and around the round table was a high bed with a backrest that he had never seen before, but it was very different from the bed.

Wang Junlian smiled: "I knew you would be surprised, this is your uncle's table and chair." "Chair?" Liu Sanzhi had never heard of. Surprised, he was pressed on a chair by Wang Junlian.

On the right hand side of Liu Sanzhi, there are two girls carved in pink. Wang Junlian sat beside Su Wu and said to the two girls: "This is the brother of your eldest brother, call him Brother San." "Brother San, Brother San!" the young and melodious voices of the two girls sounded. Wang Junlian said: "Sanzhi, these are your two sisters, the older one is Yibai, and the younger one is Yiyun." Liu Sanzhi hurriedly greeted, and the two girls opened their eyes wide and looked at Liu Sanzhi curiously.

After Su Wu and Wang Junlian sat down, Yan Weifang sat down. Wang Junlian beckoned everyone to eat, although Liu Sanzhi and Mu Qingyu were a little restrained, but under Wang Junlian's greeting, they gradually relaxed.

Su Wu said while eating: "Sanzhi, herring, don't be restrained, this is your home." How about you try the venison that I marinated myself?"

Liu Sanzhi sandwiched a piece of pickled venison and put it in his mouth to savor it, looked up and said: "Although it is a pickled product, it is not hard or hard, the salinity is moderate, and the taste is excellent." Su Wuxi said: "I can't see that you still understand food?!"

Mu Qingyu also came alive at this time, and opened his mouth to say: "Brother Sanzhi is proficient in cooking, and he is good at cooking! The dishes he fried with that iron pot when he was in Tianyi were good in color and flavor. Su Wu was overjoyed: "Oh, have you used the pot I made?" Liu Sanzhi was interested, nodded and said: "The pot you made is used for cooking, but it is a hundred times stronger than those kettles." ”

Su Wu said triumphantly: "That's it! In the future, it is necessary to push this pot to the big shadow, popularize the world, and let all the people benefit." Yan Wei said coldly on the side: "My big shadow only produces a few catties of fine iron a year? Fine iron control, ordinary rich households can't use it, where can civilian slave households use this iron pot?"

Su Wu was deflated for a while, and said hatefully: "Why are you always so discouraged, can't you say something nice?" Wang Junlian smiled: "Xiaowei is telling the truth, not to mention fine iron, it is this table and chair, how many can use it?" Okay, don't be angry, hurry up and eat!"

Su Wu ate with his head bored, drank porridge slowly, and did not eat at all. "Grandpa, it's not advisable to eat properly!" Su Yiyun, who was more than five years old, said in a milky voice.

Su Wu hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, nodded with a smile and said, "Good Xiaoyun, Grandpa knows that he is wrong." Su Wu turned to Wang Junlian and said, "Lady, how are the preparations for your affairs over there?" Wang Junlian said: "Originally, I had already looked for a few children, and I just waited for Xiaohui to come back and start practicing." This time, there was a herring and the children that Rong Hai brought back in two days, so let them go together. Rest assured, there is no problem. ”

Su Wu smiled and said: "Lady is doing things, what else do I have to worry about?" Seeing that everyone had eaten, Su Wu said: "Okay, Sanzhi, herring, you go back and clean up first." When you go back, I'll let them take you to practice. Scatter, I'll send someone to call you later, and we'll talk again. ”

Liu Sanzhi and Mu Qingyu bowed and exited the hall and walked towards the east courtyard. In the past few days, the two people who have been caring and caring for each other have been breathless, that is, they are happy and warm, but they are also a little overwhelmed. Mu Qingyu said softly: "Brother Sanzhi, how do you feel?" Liu Sanzhi was digesting Su Wuchen's teachings, suddenly woke up, and asked, "What?"

Mu Qingyu smiled: "Are you still adapting?" Liu Sanzhi said: "It's true that I don't feel a little uncomfortable, but I feel so good! What about you?" Mu Qingyu smiled and nodded.

A girl in the distance ran towards Liu Sanzhi, her twin buns flying up and down, very cute. Yanagi Sanzhi stopped and watched with a smile until the girl ran up and hung on Yanagi's body.

"Second brother!" The eleven or twelve-year-old girl had a fair face, a full forehead, a high nose bridge, and a pair of big eyes flashing at Liu Sanzhi.

"Chao'er has grown taller, it's a big girl!" Liu Sanzhi put down the girl and stroked the girl's hair dotingly. "I miss you to death, and you didn't call me when you came back last night, Chao'er was angry with you!" the girl didn't follow.

"It's a good tide, go back and the second brother will cook you food and make amends to you!" The girl immediately smiled.

"Chao'er, this is Sister Qingyu!" Liu Sanzhi turned his head to Mu Qingyu and said, "Qingyu, this is my sister Guo Chao'er." ”

"Hello Sister Qingyu!" Guo Chaoer said. Mu Qingyu hurriedly returned the salute and said hello.

In the courtyard, Guo Lao and Rong Laosan stopped talking and looked at the three of them with a smile. Rong Cheng shook his head and walked around, reciting the article given by Liu Sanzhi. Seeing this situation in Liu Sanzhi's eyes, he was happy in his heart: "This is a stable home, right?!"
