It has just entered the wax moon, and the sky is surprisingly cold.

A fishing boat docked at the Matsue pier. A strangely dressed man and woman disembarked from the boat and wanted to hire a carriage to go to the city. But after asking a few, people had to pay the silver before they were willing to carry them.

They didn't have any money on them, so they had no choice but to walk in the direction of Matsue Castle on foot.

After several failed attempts to stop the car, an old man who drove the carriage saw that they were pitiful and asked them to get into the car and take them home.

On the way, heavy snow fell from the sky, and in a short time a thick layer had accumulated on the road, and the speed of the carriage slowed down significantly.

Half an hour later, seeing from afar that the city gate was slowly closing, the old man waved the leather whip in his hand to speed up.

At the last moment when the gate of Songjiang Mansion was about to close, the carriage arrived.

"Official, official, okay, let us in." The old man begged.

The two officers and soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at each other, and one of them asked the other: "Do you want to put it?" ”

The other glared at him: "It's not urgent, who walks out so late, let's go!" ”

The snow was fluttering, and the carriage stopped all the way to the door of Su's house.

A man in a coat of animal skin jumped out of the car, stepped forward to pat the door of Su's house, waited for someone inside to answer, and then turned around and helped a woman in a quilt out of the car.

The porter Yang Lin opened the door and poked his head out: "Who?" ”

Asking, his eyes looked at the woman in front of him who was covered in the quilt, and saw that her hair was unkempt, her face was dull yellow, and only a pair of round and large eyes remained on her emaciated face.

"Big ...... Big...... Miss? …… Master...... Master...... The eldest lady lived...... The eldest lady ...... "Yang Lin ran into the courtyard with his legs, and almost fell a few times along the way.

Several subordinates in the front yard and housekeeper Cao Gui hurriedly ran over, and after confirming that it was the eldest lady one by one, they all surprised and let people in.

"Miss? Really a big lady? ”

"Oh my God, the eldest lady is still alive."

"Tell the master to ......"

"Miss, it's really you, we thought it was ...... Come in......" Cao Gui hurriedly let people inside.

Su Muling did not enter the hospital, but stretched out his hand to Cao Gui: "Do you have any silver on you?" ”

Cao Gui was stunned for a moment, and took out a purse from his body, which contained ten taels of silver, the red envelope given by the master and the third lady today.

Su Muling took it and handed it directly to the driver who was stopped by Wei Huai'an and didn't let him go.

The old man took the silver and was a little at a loss: "This ...... I can't find ......."

"Old man, don't look for it, thank you for driving us back."

The old man thanked him again and again and drove home.

As soon as the gate was closed, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from the backyard, and Su Haoran appeared in front of Su Muling first in a panic, followed by Prince Blue of Anji, who was already homeless.

The moment he saw Su Muling, Su Haoran paused, looked at Su Muling's face in disbelief for a moment, and then his eyes became wet, and two lines of hot tears blurred his eyes.

"Ling'er...... Is it really you? Is it really you? You're scared to death Daddy......"

Su Muling went through a lot of hardships and dangers, and finally saw his father, who had been thinking about it day and night, and he also choked up and threw himself into his arms: "Daddy, it's me, I'm not dead, I'm back." ”

"Ling'er, are you back?" When Blue saw Su Muling appear, his eyes lit up, and he rushed up regardless of the stiff local dialect, and took the two father and daughter who were crying in his arms.

Wei Huai'an, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned, and said secretly in his heart: Why is this guy still there?

stepped forward and pulled Blue aside, Wei Huaian waved his fist to warn him to stay away from Su Muling. Blue had lived here for a few months, and was somewhat familiar with the rules here, and although he didn't like it, he didn't pounce on it again.

Ru Yan and Liu's mother and the housekeeper who came later were stunned when they saw the living Su Muling.

Liu's mother was the first to wake up, rushed forward, and cried behind Su Muling.

Ru Yan saw the father and daughter hugging and crying, and there was a Mr. Wei with red eyes standing on the side, wiping his tears and persuading Su Haoran: "Master, it's cold outside, let the eldest lady and Mr. Wei come into the house." ”

Su Haoran wiped his face and hurriedly put people in the house.

"It's me who is confused, send the eldest lady back to the house, Mother Liu, hurry up and prepare hot water, housekeeper, help Mr. Wei prepare the guest room, Ru Yan...... You ......"

"Master, I'll go and tell the kitchen to cook a few more dishes." Ru Yan knew that the old man was excited and couldn't keep up with the words for a while, so he hurriedly answered.

"Okay, okay, quick, hurry up and send them into the room to rest." The haze on Su Haoran's face for months was swept away, and the smile returned to his face.

"Liushun, go and put a few more firecrackers." The eldest lady is back, and the Su family is reunited again.

Su Muling was happily taken back to her yard by Liu's mother and the girls, and as soon as she entered the house, she felt a wave of heat coming.

Su Muling looked at the long-lost house and asked Liu's mother who was following along: "This house is so warm when no one lives in it?" ”

Mother Liu wiped away the tears on her face and looked at her distressedly: "Miss, you don't know, since I learned that you died, my lord didn't want to eat or drink, and almost followed you." Later, my aunt gave birth to a little boy and a third lady, which gave the lord hope of living. We will clean up this house every day, and the master has also instructed us to be like when the young lady is there. ”

While talking, boiling water was brought in, and Mother Liu personally served Su Muling to take a bath.

The warm water bubbled away the exhaustion all over her body, and Su Muling closed her eyes and listened to Mother Liu's words in her ear about the changes in the family.

“…… The old slave never believed that Miss would be gone like this, Miss has a big life, and there have always been nobles to help her......"

Mother Liu scrubbed Su Muling's body as she spoke, but she didn't see Miss answer for a long time, and when she looked at it again, she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, how tired was she to wash and sleep?

Liu's mother wiped a few more handfuls of tears in distress, and called two mothers-in-law to pick her up and dry her, and then put on clean underwear and carried her to bed.

Su Muling didn't wake up until midnight.

When she opened her eyes, the room was brightly lit, with four charcoal stoves in the four corners of the room, and a concubine-colored skirt hanging from the bedside hanger, the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when she was there.

Su Muling felt that the journey of more than two months was like a long dream. Home, finally home!

She got up and sat up, picked up the jacket and skirt that Liu's mother had prepared for her, and as soon as she put it on, Liu's mother, who was guarding outside, heard the sound and came in.

"Miss, you're awake. Are you hungry? ”

"What time is it?" Su Muling asked.

"It's just past the end of the day. The young lady slept so soundly this night, and she didn't even turn over. ”

Mother Liu pulled Su Muling to sit in front of the dresser, picked up the comb and gently combed her hair.

"How is Mr. Wei?" Su Muling asked.

"Mr. Wei also seemed to be tired, took a bath, and went to sleep first after eating."

"Someone was sent to wait?"

"Don't worry, the old man that Miss thought of also thought of it, let Liushun serve in the house."

"After a while, you go and tell Liushun: Mr. Wei has the habit of getting up to drink tea at night, and he prefers the tongue of the bird, so let Liushun prepare it. Also, he doesn't like the dark, don't turn off the lights at night, but don't be too bright, just leave one. Also, take a few new pieces of my uncle's clothes and send them over, Wei Gongzi loves to be clean. The quilts and mattresses are all replaced with new ones, using the best ones at home. ”

Mother Liu was stunned, how did these men's private hobbies know so clearly?

The suspicion in his heart kept on his hands, and in a moment Su Muling's full hair was coiled into a bun and fixed on his head with a hosta.

In the mirror, Su Muling's little face, blackened by the sea breeze, had a pair of big eyes that regained their brilliance with joy.

At this time, the girl outside the door called loudly: "The master is here." ”

Su Muling hurriedly stepped forward.

"Daddy." Su Muling lifted the curtain, and Su Haoran just stepped into the door.

Su Haoran took off the big coat and handed it to Liu's mother, roasted his hands on the charcoal stove, and then walked to Su Muling's side.

Looking at the clothes that used to fit well, now they were put on her like a child stealing an adult's clothes, and her eyes were red again.

"Ling'er, did you sleep well?"

"Well, I slept well, I didn't even have a dream."

Su Muling pulled Su Haoran to the house and sat down on the kang. Although it was the middle of the night, Su Muling's habit was that day and night, the earth dragon and the kang were hot.

"Ling'er, I've lost a lot of weight, and I've darkened a lot. Ling'er, you have suffered. ”

Su Haoran looked at the lost baby daughter with a good eye, and couldn't believe that all this was true.

"Daddy, hasn't my daughter always wanted to go out for a trip, but this time my daughter has experienced adventures and risks that ordinary people have never had. If my daughter writes a travelogue this time, I'm afraid even You'an will admire it. ”

Su Muling didn't want Su Haoran to feel guilty and uneasy, so she deliberately understated this experience as light and pleasant.

Su Haoran didn't know his daughter's heart, although he didn't say anything anymore, he felt even more sorry for his daughter in his heart.

The meal had already been set up on the round table on the ground while he was talking, and there were more than a dozen meat and vegetarian dishes, all of which were Su Muling's favorite dishes on weekdays.

Although Su Muling has not been too hungry for more than two months. But the food along the way was single, except for roasting and stewing, and I had a great appetite when I saw this table full of dishes.

"So much?" Su Muling smiled.

"Has Daddy eaten it? Do you want to eat something with your daughter? ”

Su Haoran picked up the chopsticks and put Su Muling's favorite duck letter on her plate. The eyes are full of distress and love:

"Of course Daddy has to accompany Ling'er to eat this meal."

Su Muling's eyes were wet, it turned out that her father had been waiting for her. The father and daughter chatted about what had happened in the two months of separation.

"Daddy didn't expect it...... Daddy thought you wouldn't be back. At that time, You'an came to see you, and heard that you had fallen into the sea and disappeared, and insisted on looking for you. Later, You'an sent a letter saying that you and Wei Shizi were killed on an island......"

"Later, the emperor decreed that you should be posthumously crowned as the princess of Ningjun. Daddy really didn't want to live at that time, Daddy was sorry for your mother, Daddy hated himself for being incompetent at that time, and let you lose your life in vain. Ling'er, how did you survive? ”

Su Muling didn't expect so many things to happen during his absence, and he was declared dead, which is understandable. Can you be a concubine? What did Xiao Wenxuan do to the emperor to make the emperor, who had always opposed their marriage, issue such a holy decree.

"Daddy, thanks to Wei Shizi this time, if it weren't for him, Daddy really wouldn't have been able to see me......"
