"Eldest sister......" Mama Qin greeted her, seeing her eyes red and asking her to take good care of her mother, Mama Qin's tears welled up at once, "Don't worry, eldest sister, Mrs. Shizi should be strong, and she also told the old slave this morning that she is the master mother of the Guogong Mansion and the mother of the eldest sister, so she must hold on...... If she can't even support the Bai family, how can she protect her daughter. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qingyan's palms tightened hard, and his heart was extremely sour.

She remembered her father.

Thinking of the bloody battle that once set foot on the Shu Kingdom, she chased and intercepted the head of the Shu general Pang Guoping for three days, and defeated the fighting spirit of the Shu State in one fell swoop.

After the victory, she was overjoyed, but her father said that she went to chase Pang Guoping without a military order, and asked her to receive fifty lashes by herself!

She was not convinced, twisted her neck and argued with her father, and asked: "I took down the head of the general of Shu for merit, why did my father punish me?" ”

Daddy's eyes were red, and he was so angry that he dropped the horsewhip in his hand, kicked away a silver gun in her hand, and yelled at her with his fingers: "Because I'm your father!" No matter how resourceful and brave you are in the eyes of others, to me you are just a daughter that I can't give up my life! ”

The love of parents for their children is ...... At all times, I want to sacrifice my life to protect my children bravely.

After that, she doesn't have a daddy anymore! I don't have a brother anymore......

Her father died in Fengcheng.

Her younger brother died in southern Xinjiang.

She nodded, and said to Mama Qin in a hoarse voice: "Mama, don't tell A-Niang that I have been here." ”

Mama Qin gathered her head for Bai Qingyan, nodded, and choked up: "The eldest sister has been resting for a few days, waiting for the grandfather of the country and the prince of the world...... When they came back, the eldest sister still had to be busy. ”

She bowed her head, held Chun Tao's hand, and slowly walked out of the yard in the face of the biting cold wind.

Looking at the white lanterns hanging high under the eaves of the porch being blown and swaying, she clenched Chun Tao's hand.

The wind is surging, and the capital city is going to change after all.

·

In the sixteenth year of Xuanjia, on the fifth day of the first month, it snowed heavily.

At the end of the day, the guard at the south gate of the capital city came out of the barracks with a lantern and ordered someone to open the city gate.

Shouzheng turned around, through the vast snow, someone came from a bright light at the end of the long street, and as he got closer and closer, Shouzheng saw more than three or two people, and immediately held down the saber at his waist.

The steward of the Zhenguo Mansion trotted all the way forward, respectfully saluted Shouzheng, and explained the intention: "Today, the king of faith returned with the spirit, and our housewife brought her daughter to the gate of the city to greet her." ”

Seeing clearly, the person who came was really wearing filial piety clothes, wearing filial piety cloth, keeping his chin upright, and turning sideways to the side.

is also in the army, although he failed to go to the battlefield, he also has the heart of serving the country and the people.

On that day, there were greedy people in front of the Guogong Mansion who accepted other people's silver and went to the Guogong Mansion to make trouble, and the words of the eldest girl of the Bai family aroused the man's boiling blood, and with tears in his eyes, he wanted to die on the battlefield with the grandfather of the country and be loyal to the country.

Now that the grandfather of the country and the boy of the Bai Mansion are shrouded in horse leather, it is natural for the widow of the Bai family to go out of the city to greet them.

The wife of the prince of Zhenguo, Dong, together with the second lady Liu, the third lady Li, the fourth lady Wang, and the fifth lady Qi with a stomach, together with the eldest girl Bai Qingyan, the second girl Bai Jinxiu, the third girl Bai Jintong, and the fourth girl Bai Jinzhi, who had just been forced to get up by practicing family law the day before yesterday, together with the second girl Qin Lang of the Bai family, stood outside the south gate of the capital city under the escort and servants of the Bai family, waiting for the return of the heroes of the Bai family.

There was a faint sobbing of the servants in the crowd, but no master seemed strong.

The vast snow obscures people's sight, and as far as Bai Qingyan's line of sight can see, except for the goose feathers and heavy snow, it is pitch black.

The men of the Bai family are all dead, and most of the people in this splendid capital who are afraid of the Bai family and hate the Bai family are afraid that they will not be able to sleep happily!

But there is a long way to go, and who knows what the future holds?

A cold light appeared in Bai Qingyan's eyes.

Worms hibernate, hibernate and hunt in spring.

No hurry, no hurry......

Dong, whose eyes were red, lowered his eyes, and turned sideways to gather his big words for Bai Qingyan, and his fingers couldn't help trembling: "Let your children stay in the house to accompany your grandmother to take care of your sister, just don't listen......"

She gently held her mother's cold hand, couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and clenched it hard: "I and other juniors can already share the burden for A-Niang and the aunts, not children." ”

In her previous life, she fell ill and left her mother to support the lintel of Baifu, and in this life she will not let her mother be isolated, only alone.

The second lady Liu held her daughter Bai Jinxiu in her arms, and her tears were immediately broken, if it weren't for her daughter, she would have been going to die with her husband and son, but her daughter had lost her grandfather, father, brother and younger brother, how could she bear to let her daughter lose her mother again?

I don't know who turned on the lights in the capital first, and I heard someone in the back window say that the widow of the Guogong Mansion went to the south gate to welcome the coffin early in the morning, and hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, and went out with a lantern.

"You've heard that, too? The widows of the Bai family have all gone to the south gate! ”

"Yes! The heroes of the Guogong Mansion have returned today, and we have been guarded by the Guogong Mansion for generations, so we should also go to welcome us! ”

As soon as the two of them said a few words, they heard the creak of the wooden door next door, and the man who went out with his elderly father saw the neighbor and asked, "You also go to the south gate?" ”

The south gate guard stood on the city wall, and saw that one lantern after another appeared out of nowhere in the capital, and the warm soft light was shrouded in the lantern, densely coming from all directions, and under closer inspection, it was actually a group of people holding umbrellas and carrying lanterns, and the momentum was even greater than that day on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Heavy snow in the middle of winter, and the sky is not yet dawn.

The South Gate Keeper was looking at this scene, his heart was surging with emotion, and he shouted loudly: "Raise the wick of the city gate headlights higher, and guide the way for my Dajin Loyal Soul!" ”

When the ladies of the Bai family heard this, they couldn't stop their red eyes, straightened their spines and waited for their return in this wind and snow.

Since the news of southern Xinjiang was returned, the emperor had a subtle attitude and did not seem to intend to lenient the Bai family, and did not dare to rush to the south gate on Chinese New Year's Eve after receiving the news.

Dong Qingping and Dong Qingyue learned that the Dong family took the widow of the Bai family to the south gate, got up and wiped their faces with a handkerchief and rode over.

Dong's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Brother, Qingyue, you shouldn't come!" ”

Dong Qingping raised his hand and patted Dong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

To Bai Qingyan's surprise, Xiao Rongyan actually came to the south gate with Lu Yuanpeng and others.

Lu Yuanpeng respectfully saluted with the ladies of the Bai family, and Xiao Rongyan also bowed his head shallowly, looking up at Bai Qingyan, who was bowing his eyebrows and returning the salute.

Bai Qingyan was dressed in filial piety clothes, wearing a filial piety cloth on his head, and his top posture was wrapped in a clear body.
