In early September, the Double Ninth Festival is in full bloom and the sky is clear.

On the cherry mountain outside Luoyang City, Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji stood in front of the grave, the autumn wind blew Lin Qingzhi's pure white gauze skirt, like a fluttering butterfly, and Lin Qingji, who was dressed in white clothes and white robes, was even more elegant and handsome like jade.

Lin Qingzhi stroked the handwriting and lines on the stele, her eyes were full of sadness and sadness, her white slender fingers slowly slid down the stele, and she choked up: "Father, Azhi and eldest brother have finally rehabilitated you, and you can also look at the snow today." ”

Before Lin Qingzhi finished speaking, two crystal teardrops were left from those beautiful eyes, and the crystal teardrops were as bright as colorful under the sunlight.

Lin Qingji lit the fragrant paper and said in a low voice: "Father, you can rest assured, the announcement of the grievances has been announced to the world, and everyone in the world knows that you have been wronged, and they all know that you are loyal to protect the country." Now the people of Luoyang City are paying tribute to you along the street, and you will be very pleased if you see it. Also, you have a grandson, Ah Zhi gave birth to a little son, who is smart and cute, and when he is older, let her bring it to you to see. ”

Lin Qingji had a faint smile on his face, and said, "When this time is over, I will send you back to your hometown in Huizhou, can you give your son a little time first?" ”

The incense burned out, and when the two were about to go back, they saw a person turn out behind the two, and a simple shirt with dark blue pigment could not hide the nobility and coldness on their bodies, Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji were surprised when they saw the people in front of them.

Lin Qingji smiled and said, "Brother Feng is also here to incense my father?" ”

Xiao Mufeng forgot to glance at the ashes burned out in front of the grave, and said quietly: "There is no one else here, I'll tell the truth, in the future, this incense doesn't have to be on, and the paper doesn't have to be burned, I'll take you to a place." ”

When Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji heard Xiao Mufeng's words, their faces showed shock and incomprehension, and then Lin Qingzhi said, "Is my father's body not here?" Where is that? ”

Lin Qingji also looked at Xiao Mufeng with a look of surprise, and wondered: "Yes, Brother Feng, what is going on?" ”

Xiao Mufeng showed an eager look on his face, and said: "I can't say a word clearly, you will know when you go, let's go." ”

Xiao Mufeng took Lin Qingzhi's hand and walked down the mountain, but Lin Qingji only shook his head and followed.

Xiao Mufeng took Lin Qingzhi's brother and sister to a mansion outside the city, and his little servant Anai was already waiting there, and when he saw Xiao Mufeng taking Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji, his eyes were straight, he was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Princess, is it really you?" You... You're not dead? And the eldest son? You're back too? ”

Lin Qingzhi saw Anai's appearance, nodded at him gently, and said with a light smile: "It's us, we're back." ”

Xiao Mufeng's pace was a little eager, and he walked to the main house, let the brother and sister sit down, and then asked Anai, "Where is the master?" ”

Anai smiled a little helplessly and said: "The master is in the Westinghouse, he has been very nervous since the morning, and he has changed several sets of clothes before he has packed up, so I will call him out." ”

But after a while, an old man slowly walked into the door, Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji saw the familiar face, their faces flashed with surprise and joy, and then they quickly got up and ran to the old man's side, looking up and down, Lin Qingzhi trembled in disbelief and said, "Father, is it really you?" Am I not dreaming? ”

Lin Qingji also stood in front of the old man, his face was full of joy, and he said excitedly: "Father, you are really not dead, great, great." ”

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's eyes are deeper, and the hair that was originally just a little gray has now turned into silver strands, and the wrinkles on his face are deeper, this year is really not easy for him.

The old man looked at a pair of children in front of him, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a deep voice: "Dad is still alive, Dad is not dead, Dad is really happy to see you well." ”

The father and son hugged each other and cried, the joy of this moment of loss and regain could not be expressed in words for them, the silent hug, the hot tears, could not be calmed for a long time.

Xiao Mufeng looked at the father and son in front of him, there were tears in his eyes, he raised his sleeves and wiped them lightly, and turned his eyes to look at the warm sunshine outside.

After the three of them stabilized their emotions, Lin Qingzhi looked at her gray-haired father in front of her, her eyes were distressed, and she frowned slightly: "Dad, you have aged a lot and lost a lot of weight, this year, you have suffered a lot, right?" ”

Lin Chengde looked at Lin Qingzhi's brothers and sisters with soft eyes, and said, "It's all over, as long as you wait until this day, it's not too late." ”

Lin Qingji looked at his father and asked with some puzzlement: "Dad, how did you escape from the prison or escape from the execution ground?" ”

After Lin Qingji finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Mufeng, since he knew that his father was alive and brought them to see him, then this matter must have something to do with him.

Lin Chengde smiled, glanced at Xiao Mufeng gently, and then said, "All this is thanks to the prince, and I can see you again as a father." ”

It turned out that Lin Chengde and the Lin family were locked up in the prison that day, and after the fierce dispute between Xiao Mufeng and the emperor in the palace, Xiao Mufeng finally won the qualification of the prison officer, because only the prison officer was qualified to visit the prison the day before the execution.

Later, a person from the Shadow Guard claimed to have received Lin Chengde's life-saving grace before, and was willing to replace Lin Xiang, Xiao Mufeng replaced Lin Chengde after thinking about it.

It's just that after the replacement, the queen and the emperor had a lot of eyeliner at that time, Xiao Mufeng was afraid of exposing the truth, so he cut off contact with Lin Chengde, and later he went to the north and the east, and there was no way to take care of it, so Lin Chengde has been wandering around Luoyang as a beggar.

During the Qingming Festival that day, Lin Qingzhi and Lin Qingji went to Yingshan to worship, in fact, Lin Chengde was hiding not far away and watching, seeing the grief-stricken appearance of his children, he wanted to rush out and tell them that he was not dead, but in the end he still suppressed the impulse in his heart, because if others found out that he was still alive, it would not only bring them death, but also ruin Xiao Mufeng's future, so he could only keep this secret.

Hearing Lin Chengde's words, Lin Qingzhi's bright eyes were already full of tears, turned to look at Xiao Mufeng, and said, "Brother Mu, you have done so much for me and for the Lin family, but I actually doubted you at the beginning, and said such ugly words, I'm sorry!" ”

Xiao Mufeng walked to Lin Qingzhi's side, raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting, and said softly: "I don't blame you, the situation at that time didn't allow you to tell you the truth, but fortunately, it's not all good now." ”

Lin Qingji's expression became firm and serious, and he turned to Xiao Mufeng and bowed his head and said solemnly: "Lin Qingji, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my father's life, and from now on, I will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!" ”

Xiao Mufeng hurriedly supported Lin Qingji and said, "What are you doing, is there anyone else here, we have been brothers for so many years, why do we have to see each other like this, besides, Lin Xiang is my father-in-law, and it is also appropriate to save him." ”

Lin Qingzhi stood next to Xiao Mufeng, looked at Lin Chengde and asked with a concerned face, "Then what are your plans next, father?" ”

Lin Chengde looked up to the sky and smiled, and his brilliance made several people unable to take their eyes off, and said: "For so many years, I have fought for the war, and now I am old, and I understand more that this power and military exploits are things outside the body, since the general Lin Chengde is dead in the eyes of the world, then why should I covet this power and glory, and the rest of the time, I will go to see this great river and mountain, so as to live up to the experience of coming to this world." ”

Lin Qingzhi looked at her father's figure, revealing a warm smile, and her face was even more beautiful.

"Ah Zhi, do you really want to go back with me?" Xiao Mufeng had expectation and affection in his eyes.

"Now is not the time, I always feel that Master and they will make a move soon, I want to find out about their plans, and Father, I can't interact with you too often in the future, if they know that you are still alive, I am afraid that my plan will not be hidden."

Lin Chengde nodded.
