Zheng Fuzi lightly plucked three sticks of incense, lit them on the white candle, pointed four fingers up, raised his eyebrows flat, bowed three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner. Zhongzhan also did the same, holding incense and worshipping.

Master Zheng looked at the spiritual seat on the sacrificial table and said, "Jingshu my wife, today is different from previous years, you and my daughter Ruoshu and eldest nephew Zhongzhan are also here. It seems that I made the right decision back then, and she lived better without me, and her mother-in-law raised her well. After you left, I spent fifteen years like a walking corpse in Huizhou, and finally completed my mission as the son of the Zheng family. I will live for myself, for our daughters, and for you. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ruoshu and said: "She still doesn't want to recognize me, and even doesn't want to pay attention to me, I think she still resents me for abandoning her back then, making her grow up alone without a father and mother, I don't blame her, I will wait for her to forgive me." I was worried that she was not doing well in the Qin Mansion, but now it seems that she is doing well, with a group of children, and the son-in-law of the Qin family is also a person with achievements, Jingshu, you and I have fulfilled our original wishes. ”

Ruoshu was expressionless, standing there motionless, waiting until Master Zheng finished speaking, waiting for her to reply, and then said: "It's not early, the way back is far away, Master, the Lu family has said goodbye first, Zhongzhan, say goodbye to Master." ”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Zheng Fuzi hurriedly stood up, one stumbled and almost didn't stand firm, Zhong Zhan hurriedly supported him, and the two looked at Ruoshu's back together.

"I've never forgotten you." Zheng Fuzi said behind him.

Ruoshu stood in front of the moon gate, wearing a crimson cloak with rose-red edges, embroidered with silver Fu character patterns, the wind blew the cloak, but what was revealed inside was a water-red skirt, with peach-colored moire, lined on the cyan brick wall and the green spring flower wall, like a rose, bright but thorny.

After listening to Zheng Fuzi's words, Ruoshu didn't look back, looked at the spring flowers in his eyes, and said coldly: "Where is my mother buried, do you remember?" ”

After saying that, he paused for a while, and seeing that Master Zheng really lost his voice, Ruoshu snorted coldly and decided to leave.

On the carriage on the way back, Zhong Zhan ate snacks and snacks on the small table, and secretly looked at his mother from time to time. Zhong Zhan also turned his head to look at the sky outside, and there was nothing but the gray sky.

I don't know how long it took, Ruoshu seemed to be tired, closed his eyes, Lan Zhi moved from the cubicle almost at the same time, and lifted Ruoshu's quilt up, but Ruoshu opened his eyes, didn't feel sleepy, and said softly: "I didn't sleep." ”

Lan Zhi also whispered: "Then you should also cover it well, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Ruoshu was still asleep, and Lan Zhi whispered to Zhong Zhan, "Do you want tea?" ”

Zhong Zhan couldn't help but glance at Ruoshu, Lan Zhi waved his hand, and Zhong Zhan nodded.

Seeing that Zhong Zhan no longer took the small things to eat, Lan Zhi withdrew the things, pointed to the small box next to him, and whispered: "There are books in it, you can read them if you don't want to sleep." ”

Zhong Zhan opened the box curiously, there are many categories inside, there are style atlases, word stickers, tea classics, and local chronicles, Zhong Zhan found a book of mountains and seas at the bottom, opened it and took a look, there were all kinds of anecdotes written in it, I was interested, and I didn't put it down when I picked it up.

It wasn't until someone knocked on his head that he found that his father was sitting next to him for some time, Zhong Zhan was just about to say hello, Qin Daochuan signaled him not to make a sound, and both of them glanced at Ruoshu, and saw that she was breathing steadily and not moving at all, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Zhi brought the tea, and asked Qin Daochuan if he wanted to use dim sum, and Qin Daochuan signaled differently.

Zhong Zhan thought about it for a long time, and finally crawled to his father's side and told him what happened today in his ear.

Qin Daochuan waited for him to finish speaking, and whispered in his ear: "Like before, just pretend not to know, and don't say anything about your great-grandmother." ”

Zhong Zhan nodded, but still asked in his father's ear, "Will Mother always be like this?" ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "I don't know much about their grievances, let your mother make her own decisions." ”

Zhong Zhan wanted to say something, Ruoshu turned around, moved a few postures, and finally stopped moving, not much movement, but the two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

Qin Daochuan saw that Zhong Zhan was still unsatisfied, and gently took out pen and ink and small notes from the drawer a few times, and asked Zhong Zhan to write the questions he wanted to ask on them.

The father and son asked and answered like this, talking about Ruoshu and Master Zheng and Zhong Zhan's martial punishment in Lanxi Academy, Qin Daochuan only mentioned the words that Zhong Zhan wrote badly, and only looked at the others. Zhongzhan has a good memory, and he wrote everything down in detail.

During the period, passing by a market, it was a little noisy, Ruoshu opened his eyes and saw the father and son, you write and I see, very forgetful, did not move, just looked at them quietly.

When Qin Daochuan was about to take the note from the small table again, he found that Ruoshu woke up and didn't speak, as long as Zhong Zhan continued to write, when Zhong Zhan finished writing and came back, he found that Ruoshu fell asleep again.

In this child, Ruoshu has always been a little awkward, and her clothes are loose, so her belly is still not very obvious for almost six months.

Qin Daochuan asked where he was, and seeing that there was still time, he asked Zhong Zhan to write down the family mantra of boxing, and then let him write down his comprehension, and then point out his shortcomings word by word, and then write down his own opinions.

After all, Zhong Zhan was young and a little tired from writing, so he couldn't help but say, "Father, how do you practice your handwriting?" No matter how you look at it, it's optimistic. ”

Qin Daochuan subconsciously turned his head, Ruoshu really opened his eyes, and Qin Daochuan said to her: "Since you wake up, get up and sit down, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep at night." ”

Ruoshu asked with a deep sense of sleepiness, "When did you come?" ”

Qin Daochuan replied: "You didn't go down the mountain for long. ”

Ruoshu yawned, watched Qin Daochuan fold the notes into a stack and fold them into his arms, and stared at him, Qin Daochuan said: "I have taught Zhongzhan's studies and boxing skills, I will look back." ”

After speaking, moved to Ruoshu's side, helped her up, and helped her rub her back, Zhong Zhan looked at it twice, and felt a little embarrassed, so he picked up the book again and looked down.

When I returned to Xifu, it was already dark.

If Shu wanted to go back to the right courtyard directly, and asked Qin Daochuan to take Zhong Zhan to the old lady, Qin Daochuan shook his head and said: "It's inconvenient for me to show up, so I will take the carriage back to the right courtyard directly, and you can take Zhong Zhan to Xuanwei Hall, don't say I'm back." ”

Ruoshu guessed the probable and nodded. Qin Daochuan continued: "It's not far, I've been sitting for so long, don't sit on the soft chair, walk around!" ”

Ruoshu glanced at him, thinking about the activity, just sour and soft, so he led Zhongzhan along the path to Xuanwei Hall, who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he saw the children lined up according to age, standing on both sides of the old lady, and saw Ruoshu and the two of them entering the house and did not move, just quietly looking at her and Zhongzhan.

The old lady sat proudly on the top, looking at Ruoshu and Zhongzhan.
