One layer of autumn rain and one layer of cold, in the late autumn night, Kumquat who had placed Mrs. Wu to sleep walked in, saw Li Minglou sitting under the lamp reading documents with the rain, and hurriedly took off the cloak and put it on her.

"Miss, it's getting colder." She said, looking down at the table again, "Are you wearing shoes?" ”

There is a pu mat by the window, and Li Minglou likes to step on it barefoot.

Hearing her ask, Li Minglou pulled up his dress, lifted his legs and feet, and smiled: "Wear this, look." ”

A pair of black socks on his feet.

Kumquat stretched out his hand and touched it: "The woolen socks sent by Wudu Governor the day before yesterday." ”

Li Minglou nodded, stretched his feet on the pu mat and touched it, feeling the fur: "It's cold today, I took it out and wore it, and I didn't keep it for my wife." ”

Kumquat said: "Madame doesn't need to wear this, Madame likes to wear shoes and socks." ”

She sat down and reached out to pinch Li Minglou's feet, like holding two ducklings, giggling.

"The Governor sent this here because you said in the letter that you like to walk around barefoot, and Madame is not barefoot, of course the Governor knows that she doesn't need it, so it's for you."

Speaking of which, I am busy adding.

"Miss, it's not that we're short of socks, you see I prepared them in the summer, and I've already found thick socks and taken them out."

Li Minglou smiled, withdrew his feet and covered them with his dress: "Of course we don't lack it, it's not valuable." ”

Kumquat said: "We don't lack anything valuable. ”

Li Minglou laughed again.

Fang Er, who was in charge of the guard, heard the laughter and looked over, he rarely appeared during the day, and he was in charge of Li Minglou at night.

"Madame is in a good mood." He said.

This was said to the bag on the other side, the bag does not need to hold an umbrella at night, and the black umbrella is held in his hand like a spear.

"The day before yesterday, the governor sent a letter, and there are many things." He said.

Couples who can't meet each other, receiving a letter from home and sending some shoes, socks, wool fur and bits and pieces is the happiest thing in this troubled world.

Fang Er glanced at him and said, "Madame is looking at the autumn taxes sent from all over the country tonight. ”

The bag sounded.

Fang Er continued: "The autumn taxes from all over the country have been collected smoothly and in full, and in this troubled era, Huainan Dao has had a bumper harvest. ”

Bao Bao suddenly nodded happily: "No wonder Mrs. is so happy, it turns out that double happiness is coming." ”

There was laughter in the room again, and the laughter of the two women staggered through the drizzling rain, adding a touch of agility to the dimly lit night.

"Look, Madame is so happy." The bag grinned.

Fang Er didn't bother to talk to him again, his ears moved and looked ahead, and in the night ahead, Yuan Ji rushed from the rain without a raincoat, followed by a man wrapped in a black rain cloth......

"How do you .....?" Fang Er asked.

Before the words fell, Yuanji rushed over with a person wrapped in a rain cloth.

"Something." He only threw down the next sentence.

Fang Er heard the panic from this Mu Ran's voice, and couldn't help but be frightened, what happened to make Yuan Jidu's voice panic? He immediately guarded the place for Bao Bao Dao, saying that he would disappear in the dark.

The bag clenched the black umbrella and stood vigilantly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kumquat and Li Minglou both raised their heads and saw Yuan Ji walking forward.

Under the lamp, Yuanji's hair and clothes were wet, and the dripping water on his body condensed under his feet.

"Yuanji, what's wrong with you? It's so late....." Kumquat asked in surprise.

Yuan Ji interrupted her and looked at Li Minglou: "Son, he ....."

Before he finished his words, Li Minglou stood up, the chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his voice interrupted him sharply: "What's wrong with Mingyu....."

"Sister."

A voice shouted, and the person behind Yuan Ji rushed over, crashed into Li Minglou's arms, and hugged her tightly.

This person was wrapped in a rain cloth, and his body was covered with rain, and Li Minglou seemed to be flooded in an instant.

She looked down at the person in her arms in disbelief, trembling and lifting the rain cloth, seeing a strange and familiar .... Juvenile.

"Mingyu." She called softly, looking at Yuanji and Kumquat again, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" ”

Kumquat widened his eyes and covered his mouth with his hands, and pinched his face with his hands when he heard the inquiry, obviously not knowing whether he was awake or in a dream.

Yuanji, who was interrupted, said the unfinished words: "Childe, he's here." ”

The rain was cold, the person in his arms was soft and warm, Li Minglou recovered from the shock and looked at Li Mingyu, this is true, it is really Li Mingyu who is here.

"Cook some hot soup." Li Minglou said, reaching out to untie Li Mingyu who was still wearing a rain cloth.

Kumquat also came back to his senses, hurriedly brought the towel, and went out to cook the hot soup himself.

Li Minglou wiped the rain on Li Mingyu's head and face, looked at him, I haven't seen him for three years, although I saw the portrait some time ago, but it really looks like it has changed again.

Thirteen years old is already a teenager, the teenager she is familiar with.

Li Minglou asked what was wrong.

After falling into her arms, Li Mingyu kept his head down, and his little face turned pale when he raised his headlamp.

There is no news at all, leaving behind Jiannan Dao Shannan Dao that can't be left behind, and running to Huainan Dao where he can't come, the last time Li Mingyu acted so recklessly, he still heard that Li Minglou had an accident on the way to Taiyuan Mansion.

It can be seen that this incident is comparable to Li Minglou's accident in Li Mingyu's heart.

Li Mingyu raised his head and lowered it again, as if he couldn't speak.

Li Mingyu and Yuan Ji glanced at each other, they hadn't heard anything about the Southeast Road of Jiannan Province.

"I'll go get the kumquat ready to eat." Yuanji said, and took the initiative to retreat and avoid it.

Li Minglou hugged Li Mingyu's shoulders and said, "Mingyu, as long as you and I are still here, there is nothing that cannot be overcome." ”

Li Mingyu raised his head, and tears fell before he opened his mouth: "Sister, Lian Xiaojun said that my father is not surnamed Li, and my father is not from the Li family." ”

Li Minglou was stunned, what?

Lian Xiaojun went to Jiannan Road with a heart of revenge, but she was still beyond what she expected, and Li Mingyu's soul was scattered with a single look.

......

......

Li Mingyu sat down in front of the window, took the hot soup, and although he couldn't drink it, he still held it in his hand obediently.

Kumquat and Yuanji were both called in and stood aside, and Li Minglou asked them straight to the point: "Was my father raised?" ”

Kumquat and Yuanji's faces were stunned, and they both stammered for a while: "No, I haven't heard of it." "How is that possible?"

"Mingyu, what did Lian Xiaojun say?" Li Minglou asked Li Mingyu, seeing that Li Mingyu was still a little reluctant to speak, he persuaded, "When it comes to my father's life experience, Kumquat is a person in the family, Yuanji is a person next to my father, they know better about our father than us, we don't know, who else can they ask if we don't ask?" ”

Li Mingyu raised his head at this time, although his voice was still trembling, but he regained his composure in the face of Kumquat and Yuanji, the osmanthus lady taught that you don't need to pretend to be an adult in your words and deeds, but you must always remember in your heart that you are the governor of Jiannan Dao, and your momentum is born from your heart.

This is also the first time in a long time that Yuan Ji has seen the little boy with his own eyes, and when he saw the little boy who was upright at this moment, he lowered his eyes and listened quietly with a servant courtesy.

"Lian Xiaojun said that his father was raised by his grandmother, and his grandmother had a bad relationship with his grandfather and was driven to Zhuangzi, when his grandmother was already pregnant, and his great-grandmother did not allow his grandfather to divorce his grandmother and marry him, saying that the eldest grandson must have a grandmother, but then the grandmother gave birth to a daughter, and the grandmother changed children with a family that also happened to produce in Zhuangzi in order to keep her identity as the main mother."

"The grandmother gave the family a lot of money, and after the family swapped the children, they left with the daughter born to the grandmother, and the grandmother took the father and was taken back by the great-grandmother in the name of the eldest grandson."

"So my father's surname is not Li at all, he is not from the Li family at all, he is the son of a poor tenant farmer in a mountain village."

After hearing what he said, Kumquat and Motoyoshi were dumbfounded.

"The Governor never said that." Yuan Ji said categorically, "Lian Xiaojun is deceiving people, how does he know?" ”

Hearing this, Li Mingyu's expression was a little difficult to keep calm, and his nasal voice was even more crying: "He said that his mother said it, and his father told his mother, and his father heard his grandmother say to a personal old servant when he was a child, go to the temple to put a person's birthday in the town." ”

Lian Xiaojun is as beautiful as a fairy, and his voice is clear and happy, but the words he said are a little scary like ghost words, he said: ".... Your grandmother and the old servant scolded the cheap girl for probably dying, pestering me to cry every night, saying that I hurt her, I want to say that she hurt me, I should have had a male fetus, but she robbed me, I had to spend this extra step, and now I am dead and I don't feel at ease to reincarnate, and I want to harm me, then I will suppress her in the temple and let her not be born. ”

Li Minglou Yuanji Kumquat listened silently, as if in a dream.

Li Mingyu sniffed and held back her tears, and relayed Lian Xiaojun's words.

"My father secretly followed the old servant to the temple, and secretly opened the birthday to see, just like his birthday, he was suspicious at a young age."

"Then more and more doubts accumulated, such as why he didn't look like his father, mother, sisters, and brothers, why his father and mother always quarreled, and his father didn't like it, and his mother seemed to like him, but his eyes were different from seeing his younger brothers and sisters.....

"Later, after my father got the credit for his success in studying, he arrested the old servant who went back to his hometown to care for the elderly and asked the truth."

Li Mingyu finished speaking, and the room was silent.

Motoyoshi didn't know what to say, this was something he didn't know, he couldn't just talk.

Kumquat out of his mind didn't know what he was thinking.

"Father and mother are affectionate, and if there is really any secret, it is not strange for father to tell mother." Li Minglou smiled, laughed at this appalling thing, and said, "But mother and father are affectionate, how could they tell Lian Xiaojun their father's secret?" ”

Lian Xiaojun was just a child at that time.

And it's not the nephew of my mother's cousin.

Even Xiaojun naturally knew this question and gave Li Mingyu the answer: "Because I am good-looking, I am the most favored in the He clan, and even the sixth aunt often takes me to play." ”

Li Minglou didn't know what to say. 2k reading web
