Since Bai Xiaoqiu led the troops to exterminate the chieftain's family, the residents of our country's border have lived a peaceful and good life.

Emperor Jin was relieved and allowed those soldiers stationed on the frontier to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

For the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Baifu has already been busy.

Those merchants who delivered rice, noodles and cloth went in and out of Baifu.

Bai Zhanqi specially dispatched a few sturdy veterans from the training ground to join the new guards and take care of them by the Yan family.

Two days ago, Bai Zhanqi also sent someone to the temple outside Luoyang City to ask the master for practice.

According to the private discussions of the people of Baifu, it is said that General Bai Lao died on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival five years ago.

In order to return home as soon as possible to celebrate the festival with his youngest son, General Bai Lao hurried back from the front line overnight.

Bai Zhanqi ordered Mrs. Mu to prepare the meal, and the family, young and old, sat and waited for the old general to come back and start the banquet.

General Bai hadn't seen his youngest son Xuanxuan for too long, and as soon as he entered the door, he held Xuanxuan in his arms, and it was August 15, so he was very happy and drank two more glasses of wine.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the abdomen was unbearable, and the family gathered around the old general's bed, crying and crying.

The old general opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, and after enduring a long time, blood spurted out of his mouth more than three feet away, and the blood stained the bedding red.

Bai Zhanqi ordered someone to invite a doctor, and the doctor had just stepped into the threshold. The old general fell on the couch alive, and when he died, he was bleeding from all his orifices, and he didn't even close his eyes.

Sad.

When I passed in front of the hall, Mrs. Mu was the only one there.

Seeing her sullen appearance, as if she had something on her mind, she stepped forward and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Mu looked at me, sighed, and said, "Mr. Su, I am really heartbroken, I couldn't help you on the wedding day, I have always wanted to talk to you, but I am always unavailable, and I have a rare opportunity today." I miss my dignified First Lady of Baifu, I can't protect you at a critical moment."

I stepped forward and leaned my head on Mrs. Mu's lap, and said earnestly, "Madam, I, Su Feifei, can be free in Baifu, and the people in Baifu respect me, all by Madame's care." Let me be a literate gentleman, not to mention, he also cares for me in every way on weekdays, thinking that I Su Feifei has no relatives and no reason in Baifu, and my wife is like my mother, who loves me and loves me."

Mrs. Mu patted me lightly on the back and said with a smile, "Since Mr. said so, then I might as well take in an extra daughter." Although I have five daughters, none of them are as sensible as my husband, nor do I see many things as clearly as my husband. Although my daughters are kind-hearted, they grew up in a greenhouse, never experienced strong winds and waves, and got married early."

I thought to myself, this is not easy to do, there can only be one mother in this life, and you must not confess your relatives indiscriminately.

What's more, Baifu has the rules of Baifu, even if Mrs. Mu doesn't dislike it, I have to avoid suspicion, although it is kind, but I also have to guard against it, in this place where there are many people, I don't want to make Mrs. Mu suffer because of me in the future.

With a roll of his eyes, he knelt down with a puff of tom, "Mrs. is above, thank Su Feifei for worship, thanks to Mrs. Feifei's favor, Feifei is blessed with a cheap life, how dare you climb Mrs., Mrs. is noble and charitable, I respect Mrs., love Mrs., you are a model in my heart."

Mrs. Mu suddenly laughed, pulled me up from the ground, and said, "I say, Mr. understands things, I'm just old and confused, in a place like Baifu, everything must be more careful, more things are better than less things, or Mr. thinks thoughtfully."

I looked at Mrs. Mu and suddenly thought of my mother.

In the past, I always liked to rest my head on my mother's lap, and my mother's soft hand stroked my back again and again, which was very comfortable.

Constantly stroking and caressing, I fell asleep on my mother's lap.

At that time, my mother always laughed at me for being a lazy little cat.

Since the last time I saw Yin Ziran, I haven't asked him for so long, and I asked someone to inquire about my mother, and now there is no news.

Her thoughts wandered for a moment, and Mrs. Mu sighed slightly.

Mrs. Mu's eyes looked towards the middle of the courtyard, her expression slowly darkened, and said, "Zhao Yinlan is arrogant, Mr. It's better to stay away from her, although this time Azu's matter was deliberately fabricated and framed by her, but have you seen it, the general is still very reluctant to Zhao Yinlan, she has committed such a big thing, and the general is just a dragonfly and punished her for grounding."

I looked at Mrs. Mu's face, and suddenly I felt that she had aged a lot.

I can't help but feel some sadness and heartache in my heart.

Such a strong woman, the number one person who handles the internal affairs of the White Mansion, is shrewd and capable, and Lan Zhihui is hearted, and she can't escape a love word after all.

Mrs. Mu has been married into the Bai family for more than 20 years and has given birth to several daughters before and after.

When she got to the fifth child, she thought she could give birth to a son for the general, but she was still a girl.

Mrs. Mu stared blankly at the middle of the courtyard, not moving, and said to herself, "The general has always wanted a son, and I know if he doesn't say it, so why don't I want to." But I just can't give birth, and now that I'm older, I don't have any hope. I understand what the general means by keeping Zhao Yinlan, after all, Zhao Yinlan is still young, and if he gives birth to a son in time, the general will have hope for the rest of his life. By that time。。。。。。 ”。

Mrs. Mu didn't say any more, and suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky.

A slight wind blew her neatly combed hair away, and the hair trembled slightly in the wind.

I felt a pang of sadness, and suddenly threw myself on Mrs. Mu's shoulder.

Mrs. Mu patted my hand and said, "Don't feel sorry for me, a woman's life is like this, no matter how hard you try, in the end it will be just a void, and it will be said that our women's hearts are needles." In fact, those men don't understand, we women don't ask for much, it's just that we want to be single-minded, and the white head is not separated."

I hugged Mrs. Mu's neck, put my face against hers, and said, "Madam, the general loves you."

Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "Silly girl, when you get married in the future, you will naturally understand that real life, only love, is far from enough, the word love is too ethereal, too heavy, and overwhelming."

I straightened up and said very seriously, "I don't want to marry, I want to accompany my wife for the rest of my life, and I will be a literate gentleman for the rest of my life, and it is not impossible to be a lonely old man for a lifetime."

Mrs. Mu's body was shocked, she turned her head to look into my eyes, and said, "It's a pity, you kid, the fourth brother is obsessed, and we can't do anything about him, since ancient times, men and children have multiple wives and concubines, if Mr. really likes my fourth brother, can you commit yourself to being a concubine."

I shook my head like a rattle and said, "No, no."

Mrs. Mu said, "Think about it, Mr. is so angry, how can he endure being small."

I hurriedly comforted her and said, "Actually, I don't mean that to Twelve."

Mrs. Mu sighed for a moment, and said in surprise, "Could it be that Mr. really likes my fifth brother."

I hurriedly stood up, waved my hand at Mrs. Mu and said, "No, no, I don't have anyone in my heart for the time being."

Mrs. Mu sighed again, and suddenly lowered her eyes, as if she was very disappointed.

After talking for a long time, I found that Mrs. Mu was holding a peacock feather that was only half burned, and the burned area was too large to see the original appearance.

But I already remember that this peacock feather was originally a very beautiful cape.

Mrs. Mu treats her cloak like a treasure, and it is no wonder that this cloak means a lot to her.

I remember that when Bai Qingyang had just given birth, I was afraid that the maidservants in the house would not take good care of her, so I spontaneously petitioned to serve her for a few days.

At first, Bai Qingyang was still worried about me, and he didn't tell me a lot of things.

Slowly I felt that we were quite in love, and there were more words, and when chatting, I accidentally talked about her aunt, and also talked about her aunt's peacock feather cloak.

Bai Qingyang told me that this cloak was the result of her father's nearly five years of accumulating 1,999 peacock feathers.

When the dignified Bai Zhanqi took these feathers to Mu Yuncai, who was dressing up in the boudoir, the delicate Mu Yuncai cried excitedly on the spot.

This cry naturally made up a good marriage between the two.

Mu Yuncai told Bai Zhanqi that the day she and Bai Zhanqi got married when this cloak was ready.

A year later, there was a row of chairs with high backs parked at the front door of Mu Xishan's mansion, and the whole body was surrounded by colorful flowers in a sedan chair, Mu Yuncai was dressed in a Luo brocade cotton robe, and a peacock feather cloak was covered with a peacock feather cape, which was spent a whole year by Mu Yuncai, and it was all strung with gold wire, stitches and threads, and hundreds of pearls were inlaid with it.

Mu Yuncai sat on the sedan chair, wearing the wedding dress sewn by himself, looking at the groom Bai Zhanqi, who was at the forefront of welcoming the bride, and his heart was as happy as a flower.

When people get married, they sit in a sedan chair, and they wear a wedding dress when they get married, and she also wears a wedding dress.

It is said that on the day Mu Yuncai got married, because of the way he was very different from others, it became a different scenery in Luoyang City.

The girls who married later followed suit, using various animal skins, such as pheasant feathers, duck feathers, goose feathers, and so on, as their wedding dresses.

After so many years, Mrs. Mu Meimei recalled the scene at that time very excitedly, and cherished this cloak very much.

Decades later, this habit is still retained.

Because I cherish it too much, I don't even wear it many times, and I'm afraid of breaking it.

Today, only a small piece of the cherished feather cloak remains.

Although I knew that what kind of words at the moment would not have any effect, I still hugged Mrs. Mu and said, "When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely make a new feather cloak for Madame."

Mrs. Mu also hugged me, her eyes were full of gratitude and regret, and said, "It's rare that you have this heart, so don't waste your efforts for me."

Mrs. Mu and I talked for a while, and suddenly there was a noise not far away.

I saw a few soldiers at the door running in the direction of the backyard with spears in hand.

I followed closely behind Mrs. Mu.
