In early autumn, the evening breeze is blowing, and the yellowing of green leaves falls at the door.

Su Moran pushed open the door and secretly tightened the fox fur cloak on the neckline.

The pouring moonlight stretched her thin figure on the bluestone floor, and she held a candle flame, the faint light murmuring in the night breeze.

She walked straight to a courtyard in the northeast corner, pushed open the bamboo door, and there was a long creaking sound, because it had not been inhabited for many years, and the courtyard was in dilapidation.

Su Moran took the candlestick and looked around carefully, this was the courtyard where her biological mother Qin Huairuo lived before her death, it was not as luxurious as the East Garden where Ge Shuwang was, and it was smaller than the West Garden where she was located.

There was a huge rock standing beside the pond, and the water in the pond had long since dried up, leaving a few strands of dead branches and leaves.

In her previous life, she was now old, and she didn't even know that the woman who lived here was her biological mother, Qin Huairuo.

A woman whose memory only remains in the portrait.

Ge Shuwang, who she once shouted from her mother, was overjoyed, but she didn't know that her biological mother Qin Huairuo had been dead for many years.

After Qin Huairuo's death, Ge Shuwang took the young Su Moran to his side to raise, in her previous life, she was grateful to this woman, until the decline of Su Mansion, she still had palpitations in that rainy night when she still remembered it, she pushed away this dusty courtyard for many years, and she knew everything.

The smile in the portrait is hidden in the corner of the eye, and the bewitching woman has never appeared on the Su family's genealogy from beginning to end, and even the tablet after death cannot enter the Su Mansion Mourning Hall.

Su Moran stared at a portrait on the dilapidated white wall, and suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that his palm was faintly painful, and his nails had already been embedded in the flesh.

She lifted the portrait, rubbed her hand against the gray wall and rubbed it carefully, the faint touch from her fingertips was a little different, Su Mo ran it, and a hollow block appeared on the wall, and a dusty letter lay quietly in the grid.

Su Mo closed the block, put down the portrait, and carefully smoothed the remaining wrinkles on it before turning around and leaving the courtyard.

When she returned to Xiyuan and closed the door, she took out the letter paper from her sleeve.

When Su Moran was still young, Qin Huairuo wrote this letter.

I was in a hurry to see it before, and I didn't notice that this handwriting was really beautiful and generous.

Only some thoughtful words were written in the letter, which was nothing more than to let Su Mo live peacefully and happily.

There is also a green satin brocade box in the same place, and inside is a jade pendant with a jade-white luster like a plum blossom and a hollow center.

Presumably, this is the birthday gift that the mother mentioned in my heart gave to her daughter for her first birthday.

……

The first light poured down through the gaps in the clouds like mist, and the dark clouds opened a corner, and the sky brightened.

Early in the morning, the father-in-law of the palace came to the Su Mansion with a bright and dazzling scroll.

Su Mo finished dyeing and dressing, but it was still late, and many people had gathered in the hall, including Ye Wei and Su Yingrong, who had not seen each other for a few days.

At that time, Ge Shuwang was at the top, holding a teacup, and Su Mo bowed, "My daughter is late, I hope my mother will forgive me." ”

Ge Shuwang continued to have the demeanor of everyone's ladies, his phoenix eyes swept slightly over the woman under the seat, and after a while, he nodded lightly, "It's okay." ”

She thanked her with a smile and sat in the next seat, directly opposite her was Ye Wei's mother and daughter.

Su Moran always smiled faintly, and the eyes of the person opposite him were like knives and he didn't hear it, compared to Ge Shuwang, who was dignified and generous, Ye Wei who was unwilling to stare at him at the moment was quite like a clown.

Su Yingzhi had already gone to the court at this moment, and after a while, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, was welcomed in by the maid.

After Gonggong Li finished reading the holy decree, he closed the scroll and put it in Ge Shuwang's raised hand, his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit because of laughter, "Congratulations to Mrs. Su, the eldest young master is about to return to the court, just in time for the Qixi Festival."

The words were in Ge Shuwang's mind, and she also bent her lips rarely, her eyes smiling, "Father-in-law Lao has made one more trip." ”

"It doesn't matter."

After that, the group laughed with Gonggong Li and put them into the carriage.

Su Moran turned back to Xiyuan and lay on the beauty couch sideways, drowsy.

A maid pushed the door in, and lightly for fear of alarming the woman who collapsed, opened the dark-patterned gilt incense burner, added some herbs, closed the lid again, and then withdrew.

White smoke rises from the incense burner, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants that is unique to the sunset and rain.

……

On the day Su Jinnian came back, the palace sent someone to Su Mansion to say something.

The team was still thirty miles outside Luoyang City, and the atmosphere in the entire Su Mansion was lively, and Ge Shuwang asked the family to pay attention to the door early.

It rained for several days, and the cloudy sky was torn apart, and the sky was clear in an instant.

The sound of horses' hooves like rain gradually rose, the Luoyang city gate opened, the sound of singing praises and virtues swept up like a wave, the people crowded on both sides of the road, a glimpse of the return of the hero, the gray-haired old man, the weak body still kept looking with the flow of people, eager to see the son who thought about it day and night.

The war was raging, there were many heroes, there were horse leather shrouds, and there were wagons pulling bodies with indistinct faces and white cloths.

Praise and sobs were mixed up.

In front of the team, sitting on the back of a tall and handsome horse, he was smiling, enjoying the temperature of the sun shining on his face after the rain, and waving his hand to both sides of the street from time to time, he was Su Jinnian.

Su Mansion and the people had already greeted the door, the water and sky in the distance, the eyebrows of the distant mountains outlined the tall and tall figure of the man on the horse, and the pine Jun Boton lost his color.

It's been another year, Su Moran caught a glimpse of the figure in the distance, and she couldn't count how many years the man who was far away in a foreign land had gone, looking at his maturing figure, and her skin was scorched by the sun, she was in a trance for a moment.

In the end, such a man was like the white cloth that covered him, and even his body did not return to his homeland after death.

The sighs and sighs of the crowd rose to the top, bringing Su Moran back to reality.

The red-brown horses were also close at hand, Su Moran and Ge Shuwang were standing together, and the man on the seat smiled at them.

He rolled over and dismounted, and a series of movements flowed.

Luoyang in early autumn was still steaming, Su Jinnian's forehead had already oozed fine beads of sweat, he brushed his sleeves and bent his knees, and bowed to Su Yingyi, "Father!" ”

It was rare for Su Yingzhi to have a sincere smile on his face, he helped Su Jinnian up, and smiled heartily, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

Turning her head, Su Jinnian looked at Ge Shuwang, "Mother, I'm back." ”

The corners of Ge Shuwang's eyes were already slightly red, and she took Su Jinnian's hand and choked for a while.

"Big brother."

An affectionate shout pulled Su Moran back to the past, this title seemed to be very absent for a long time, and before she knew it, she almost had red eyes.

Su Jinnian looked at her, and then nodded vigorously, "I haven't seen her for a year, and my sister's whereabouts are becoming more and more symbolic, and she deserves to be the first beauty in Luoyang and Kyoto." ”

yes, I haven't seen you for years.

After speaking, his hearty laughter also made Su Moran laugh, and the sunshine on the side of the plug now really carved him into a tough guy.

However, Ye Wei and Su Yingrong on the side couldn't bear to be ignored, so they also squeezed over, Ye Wei took his hand, "You're back, the eldest lady thinks badly." ”

Su Jinnian smiled politely at her, "Auntie." He turned to look at Su Yingrong, "Sister." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone gathered around the high-spirited man and entered the house.
