"Where's my father?"

Qi Suye carried a lot of things into the door, handed the things in his hand to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper took the things and answered his question: "The master is probably napping in the backyard this time." ”

Qi Suye paused, and then waved his hand to let the housekeeper not worry about his own business. He pretended to pat the folds of his clothes, then straightened out the non-existent shredded hair before finally walking out into the backyard.

There is a large osmanthus tree in the backyard, which is full of foliage and flowers every autumn. It was planted in the year of his mother's death, and it was carefully raised, and the growth was gratifying. At that time, his father insisted on retiring from the court, and after being busy for many years, he suddenly had nothing to do, so he took him to move a recliner and nap under the tree every day.

Of course, it was his father who took a nap, and he was beaten when he couldn't answer the question.

This nap is ten years.

Qi Suye walked lightly to his father's side, Qi Lu was napping under the tree with his eyes closed, and was not awakened by his son's dream. There is a piece of paper under the recliner, Qi Suye squatted down, picked up the paper, and gently shook off the osmanthus grains on it, which was Su Shi's Jiangchengzi.

Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost.

At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown, and I was dressing up in the small window. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka.

Qi Suye unconsciously read out the contents of the paper, and suddenly there was an indescribable sadness in his heart, he folded the paper and put it on the small table next to the recliner, and pressed it with the ink table.

Qi Lu was woken up by the sound of squirming, he was reading a book in the backyard, but when he looked at it, he remembered Su Shi's poems, and suddenly came to his senses, drank two sips of wine, and fell asleep in a daze.

"You're here." Qi Lu folded the paper pressed under the ink table and put it in his sleeve, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea to sober up, "How is Rui Rui?" ”

Qi Suye's eyes dimmed when she heard Ye Ruirui's name, but she quickly cheered up and said, "I'm here to tell my father about this, Ruirui has been in a bad mood recently, and I plan to take her out for a walk." After speaking, he paused, and then said: "Mother has been gone for ten years, Dad, don't be too sad." ”

Qi Lu ignored the second half of Qi Suye's words, he pondered for a moment, and said: "It's okay to go out for a walk, but don't go too far, Changyou Pass is broken, Fu Qi led his troops to the south, the number of refugees in Luoyang has gradually increased recently, don't stay outside for too long." ”

"Isn't my father really going to make a move?" Qi Suye filled Qi Lu's teacup, moved his favorite dim sum, and continued: "I know that you have been thinking about it in your heart all these years, why bother with yourself." ”

Qi Lu stretched out his hand and patted Qi Suye's shoulder, and sighed with some emotion: "If Su Yu is still here, now it's time to talk about marriage." During the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, you took Rui Rui, Su Yu came back with her son-in-law, and our family of six reunited to enjoy the moon, how happy your mother should be. ”

When it came to his mother and sister, Qi Suye knew that there was no way to continue this topic.

The greatest pain in the world is the separation of yin and yang, the departed person leaves with full reluctance, and the person left behind is only full of sorrow, and then when the sun rises again the next day, push open the door and take the departed person's share to live well in this world. On the day when the lights go out, we can finally meet again in the flickering candlelight, and tell the heartfelt feelings of these years.

When Qi Suye returned to Ye Yuan from Shangshu Mansion, it was already completely dark, Ye Ruirui asked people to light the lamp, and sat alone in the room looking at the book in his hand by candlelight.

"Why don't you ask someone to light two more lights, how about hurting your eyes." Qi Suye picked up the fire fold next to the lamp, lit several lamps one after another, and then walked to Ye Ruirui's side, took out the book in her hand and put it aside, and put a cup of hot tea into her hand, "Your hands are so cold, you don't take a soup woman to warm up." ”

Ye Ruirui suddenly laughed when she listened to Qi Suye's nagging, and her smile became more and more gentle in the warm candlelight, "I'm not cold, now that the temperature has dropped, how can I let them stay up all night with me, I let them all go to sleep." Are you hungry or not, Mu Yi said that I bought a lot of good things in the kitchen today, how about I go to make something to eat for you? ”

Qi Suye shook his head: "Don't go, it's more dewy, it's not good to catch a cold, just let people do it casually." ”

Ye Ruirui: "How is my father?" ”

Alas, Qi Suye sighed, holding Ye Ruirui's hand a little helplessly: "Dad is still the same, and the death of his mother and sister has become a hurdle in his heart." He refuses to forgive others and does not want to let go of himself. ”

"Still reluctant to go out for a walk?" Ye Ruirui opened the door, took the food box from the maid's hand, put it on the table, and took out the food inside and put it on the table, while saying: "You must always change to a new environment, otherwise you will inevitably see things and hurt your mind when you stay in the place where you have lived together." ”

Qi Suye took the chopsticks handed over by Ye Ruirui, ate two bites of food, and said, "Speaking of which, I was just about to tell you that Luoyang is afraid that it will be unstable." Jiang Wang Fu Qi waved his army south, attacking the city along the way, and the momentum was like splitting bamboo. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will hit Luoyang City next year. ”

A trace of worry appeared on Ye Ruirui's beautiful face, she looked at Qi Suye and said, "Husband, what about Ye Yuan?" ”

Qi Suye raised his hand on his chopsticks and paused, then put down his chopsticks, "Rui Rui, I think, Ye Yuan should be closed first." I will give them enough money, and while Luoyang is not so chaotic now, go to other countries. ”

Ye Ruirui's eyes seemed to have tears in her eyes, Ye Yuan was her father's life's work, and now that the old class master has passed away less than half a year, Ye Yuan is about to disperse, and what face will she have to face her father and mother after a few decades.

alas

Qi Suye gently wiped away the tears on Ye Ruirui's face, he didn't want to dissolve Ye Yuan like this, but now that the Great Xia War was raging, for the sake of the lives of everyone in Ye Yuan, he had to do so.

"Ruirui, I promise, as soon as the fighting subsides, I will reopen the leaf garden, okay?"

Ye Ruirui nodded, she is not an unreasonable and unreasonable person.

"Okay."

The next day, the afternoon sun was just right, and after a busy morning, the people in Ye Yuan were almost gone. The Ye Garden, which was still lively yesterday, was deserted for a while, and the creaking sound of the wind blowing through the wooden door was particularly loud.

Qi Suye was afraid that Ye Ruirui would be too sad, so after dismissing everyone, he took her out to go shopping and relax, and the whole mansion was empty.

Mu Yi moved a chair and sat on the edge of the peony flower field in the backyard, autumn was in full swing, and the branches and leaves of the peony fell all over the ground. Coal is happily chasing a little mouse who came out to forage for food but was unlucky, and he didn't eat it when he caught it, and then continued to chase after the little mouse ran for a while. Indulge in it and enjoy it.

There was a sudden sound on the left-hand side, and as soon as Mu Yi turned his head, he saw that there was an extra chair out of thin air, and then there was an additional person on the chair. The visitor sat for a while, watched a live performance of cat and mouse, and then expressed his impressions.

"You cat, did you hurt your brain when you were a child?"
