Chapter 38: The Return

The time of the day passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, in the evening of the next day, Tao Yao's carriage entered Chang'an City. I don't know if it's because the atmosphere of their hometown is particularly kind, Tao Yao and Hongfu scrambled to open the curtain of the carriage, almost greedily looking at the scene along the street outside the window, and even their breathing was deliberately slowed down.

It's only been a year, and the Fang market in Chang'an hasn't changed much. Chongrenfang is still full of cars, and travelers from the south to the north are busy settling down before the curfew; Fuxingfang is probably making the last pot of Hu cakes and is closing the stall, and there is still a little appetizing fragrance in the air; As for Pingkangfang, even if it is relatively far away, the sound of the warbler song and swallow dance is also swept by the night wind, faintly drifting slowly, with a more illusory and blurred feeling, diluting the heavy fat powder smell on weekdays, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

It's good that they are finally back in Chang'an.

Gao Xianzhi walked on the side, looking at the girl hiding in the corner of the window and peeking, a light smile appeared on Ruyu Wenwen's face. Sure enough, only when she returns here, Xiao'er is the little girl with a full fresh atmosphere, and in Shendu, no matter how well-behaved and sensible she is, she is just a perfect jade statue, beautiful and beautiful, but soulless and lifeless.

Just like this, I happily passed through the main street of Chang'an, and soon, I arrived at the Yongwang Mansion located in Xinghuafang. Tao Yao didn't even wait for someone to help, and jumped out of the carriage and rushed in. Not to mention that the servants at the door were taken aback, even the father and son of Gao Sheji were shocked, and they were stunned for a while before they shook their heads with a smile, and then followed into the house. only bitter Hongfu, just got out of the car and chased after the little master all the way, while running and telling her not to fall, it was really heartbreaking like an old mother.

"Father! Mother! Brother! I'm back! Ignoring Hongfu's shouts at all, Tao Yao was as cheerful as a bird that had opened the cage door, and ran directly towards the main hall of the big house. At this time, the house should be planning to have dinner, and they must all be gathered in the hall.

"Child? I heard you right, did I'm back?! Li Chengyu, who had sharp ears, was the first to throw down his chopsticks and stand up, only to turn around and see a familiar figure crashing in from outside, and immediately subconsciously reached out and took a handful: "Xiao'er!" It's really you! You're back so soon! ”

"Well, I'm back!" Plunging into her brother's arms, Tao Yao took a hard breath, and couldn't help but hug his waist tightly: "Third brother, I miss you so much!" ”

"Xiao'er ......" Li Shouli and Liu, who were sitting at the top, both muttered, neither standing up nor daring to stretch out their hands, as if they were afraid that the person in front of them was just a shadow in their fantasies, and they would disappear if they moved a little. However, Li Chenghong and Li Chengning were so anxious that they dragged one by one and had to let them look carefully: "Father! Mother! It's really a bad child! She's really back! ”

"Father, mother......" raised her head from Li Chengyu's arms, and Tao Yao's eyes turned red: "Xiao'er has come back from the gods, and she will never leave you again...... "If she can, she just wants to stay by her loved ones for the rest of her life, without separation, without tears." What fame and power, what glory and wealth, she doesn't care! She just wants to be with her parents and brothers, even if it is coarse and light, she will never complain.

"Xiao'er, my child......" was helped up by Li Chengning in a trance, Liu took a few steps closer, and suddenly pulled Tao Yao out of his little son's arms, and then looked up and down with anxiety and joy: "Come, let my mother see, whether she is fat or thin, has she grown a little taller...... Are you okay in the palace, is anyone bullying you? ”

"No, my daughter is all right in the imperial city." I haven't felt the concern from my mother for a long time, listening to Liu's whispering in my ear, the tears that Tao Yao had endured for a long time immediately rolled down: "Mother, I really miss you so much......" This is the temperature and smell of her mother, she has been looking forward to it for a long time and thinking about it for a long time, as long as she can come back, even if she suffers more, what can she count?

"Silly girl, we miss you too......" For some reason, seeing her daughter's tears, the tip of Li Shouli's nose began to sour uncontrollably. Raising his hand and rubbing the top of his daughter's hair, he smiled and began to instruct his three sons to work, which can be regarded as distracting himself in disguise: "What are you still standing here stupidly for?" Why don't you add a pair of chopsticks to your sister! Let the kitchen make a few dishes that the child likes to eat, and serve them quickly when you are done, don't starve the child! ”

"Yes, father, we'll go right away!" Knowing that these have ready-made servants to call, but at this moment of joy, the three sons of the Li family are very busy. Their sister is back, not to mention doing such a small thing of serving people, what about picking the stars in the sky for her? Even if they do their best, they must do it. After all, this is the only one baby that the whole family holds in the palm of their hands.

"Haha, why is the prince so stingy? No matter how the last general is, he is the one who escorts the little county lord back all the way, and he is reluctant to add two more pairs of chopsticks? A hearty and smiling male voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, Li Chenghong looked at it, and immediately took the dishes and chopsticks with a smile, and by the way, asked the little maid to go to the kitchen to talk and bring an extra jar of wine over.

He said, how could the little sister appear in front of them so unexpectedly, it turned out that General Gao's father and son sent it back. It's just a pity that these two people didn't even mention it in advance, so they didn't have any preparation at all, so they couldn't give Xiao'er a good pick up or something.

"Sheji, you and Huai Jin are back together!" First, he greeted his friend with a look of surprise, and then, Li Shouli seemed to have thought of something, and his handsome and clear face suddenly became stiff: "I said, did you mean it?" Such good news, why didn't you reveal it to me at all beforehand?! Xiao'er is my biological daughter, you even hide it from me, isn't it too much! ”

"I'm not going to surprise you." Ignoring the rare stinky face of his old friend, Gao She Jiwu laughed to himself: "How is it, are you happier than ever?" "Actually, if it weren't for the episode of Tao Yao's poisoning, they would still be waiting for the beginning of spring in the god capital by now, where would it be so fast? So it wasn't time for him to write a letter to explain.

But this kind of thing is said in front of Tao Yao's closest relatives, he can't say it no matter what, and Tao Yao himself doesn't want to publicize it, let alone make his family feel sad and sad needlessly. Therefore, this pot of concealing information had to be carried by himself.
