After the noble lady and the servant had gone far away, Ruan Tian dared to come out from behind the stone lion that was hiding, but his eyes kept following the direction in which the woman had left.

Although she and her mother have been separated by life and death for more than ten years, even if she was young at that time, she could clearly engrave her mother's face into her mind.

And although the temperament of this woman is completely different from that of her mother, her face does look very similar.

If Ruan Day's mother is the kind of woman who is as elegant and gentle as water, then the woman is a woman who is as hot as fire, Ruan Sun has been staying in the inn since she was a child, and she may not have learned much, but she is accurate in looking at people.

It wasn't until the woman's carriage gradually drove away from Ruan Tian's sight that she turned her head away.

Standing at the door for a while, I didn't know what to do, and after a while, I mustered up the courage to knock on the door quietly.

The door opened quickly, but only a small crack was revealed, and through the crack came the voice of an old man.

"Who is the girl, why did she come to knock on the door of Murong's house?"

Looking at it from Ruan Tian's angle, he could only vaguely see one eye and faint white hair of the old man in the gap.

"I'm here to find Murong Hao, he should live here."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and was not in a hurry to send off the guests. Instead, he asked, "Does the girl know the sixth aunt?" ”

Ruan Tian had been standing outside the door for a long time, so her lips were a little purple from the cold, and she couldn't directly tell this person that Murong Hao was her biological father now.

"He is an old acquaintance of one of my aunts, who died of illness a few years ago and asked me to give him a message."

The person in the door still didn't push the door open, but said, "Dare to ask the girl's surname, I'll go and talk to the sixth aunt." ”

"Just say that it's an old man surnamed Ruan looking for him."

After Ruan Tian finished speaking, the old man nodded, and then closed the door again, she waited outside for a while, and saw that the door was opened, and the old man, who couldn't see the whole picture clearly, stood by the door at this time, and respectfully invited her into the courtyard.

As soon as Ruan Tian stepped into the Murong family's house, he was really taken aback, although it was seen from the outside that the Murong family's house was very large, but it was a completely different scene when he actually came in.

At the beginning of the entrance, what you see is the 100-meter-long winding verandah, with stones paved with a road under the steps, and houses with large and small powder walls lined up on both sides of the verandah.

The old man took Ruan Tian along the hundred-meter-long verandah, raising his eyes to glance at her from time to time, Ruan Tian obviously looked stunned, if it was a matter of magnificence, this Murong Mansion was even more beautiful than the palace.

Ruan Tian wanted to ask the old man where he was going to take her, but he couldn't figure out why he should call the person in front of him.

So I could only whisper: "...... That you. ”

The old man stroked his long white beard and said with a kind smile: "The girl calls me Uncle Wang, and everyone in the Murong family is called that." ”

Before I came, I thought that I would meet a lot of people from the Murong family, after all, I heard that this generation of family heads has more than a dozen children alone, but after walking this way, except for a few subordinates dressed as slaves, I didn't see any people dressed in rich clothes.

"Uncle Wang, why haven't you seen a few people after walking for so long?" As soon as the words came out, Ruan Tian suddenly regretted it a little, it was winter and it was normal for the young lady and young master not to come out or anything.

Uncle Wang didn't show any disdain, but replied very seriously: "The master is old, and the children under his knees have basically left home, and now there are only the old lady left, as well as three young ladies and two aunts. It's not the right time for the girl to come, if another month passes, when it is close to the end of the year, the young ladies and young masters who went out will all come back. ”

Ruan Tian listened carefully, she was afraid that she would miss a trace of news related to her father, but when she heard Uncle Wang talk about it, it was true that if she thought about it carefully, although this Murong Mansion looked magnificent, it was somewhat lacking in fireworks. It looks a little deserted.

After walking for about a pillar of incense, Uncle Wang stopped, and Ruan Tian looked up in front of him a house that was more exquisite than other houses.

"The sixth aunt is here, the girl is light, and the old slave will retreat first."

Ruan Tian softly pushed open the door, and there was a creaking sound from the wooden door, and there were large mahogany bookshelves on both sides of the room, and the books on display were slowly all on them, and some of the outer skins were already yellow.

Above the bookshelf hangs a plaque inlaid with gold edges, on which are the four characters "Dan Bo Shuya" written in cursive dragon flying phoenix dance.

Further ahead, there is a large purple gold stove in the middle of the room, and the faint fragrance of pear blossoms gradually emanates from it.

As soon as Ruan Tian came in just now, he found that the soles of his feet were very soft, and when he looked down, he found that the floor of the entire study was covered with brick-red hollow thick wool carpets.

The whole study room is completely different from the outside, the outside is cold like an ice cellar, but the inside is warm and comfortable, as if you are in a warm and pleasant spring.

Ruan Tian stood there and watched for a long time, but he didn't see anyone in the house, but the burning stove revealed a signal of someone's existence.

Surprised, she took a few more steps, and after passing through a hidden screen, she saw a man standing in front of the bookcase in front of him.

The man was wearing a very elegant cyan robe, but just by looking at the fabric, he knew that it was extraordinary, he heard the movement and turned around, and when he saw Ruan Tian, the whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned in place, unable to make a sound for a long time.

Ruan Ri confirmed at the first glance that the middle-aged man in front of him who looked elegant and extraordinary was her biological father who abandoned his wife and daughter more than ten years ago.

If last time she was just a quick glimpse on the street, then this time she saw the person in front of her thoroughly.

Since she was a child, her mother told her that she looked like her father, and she often complained about why she didn't inherit her mother's excellent appearance.

Her biological father in front of him, although he is in his forties, looks like he is only in his early thirties, his complexion is very white, and he looks like a weak scholar who can't pick his shoulders and can't lift his hands.

Ruan Tian just looked at him like this, and then his gaze became more and more indifferent.

"Do you remember me?"

Murong Hao forcibly suppressed the sourness in his heart at this time, and now he couldn't wait to rush up directly to hug his daughter.

"It's daylight, isn't it...... You've grown up. ”

Ruan Tian thought that he didn't remember that he had a daughter like her, but he didn't expect him to have an expression like crying now.

But she didn't sympathize with him at all, but felt that his current appearance was hypocritical and ridiculous.

"It's me, I really didn't expect you to remember me, since you still remember me, I shouldn't forget your mother who was ruthlessly abandoned by you."

As Ruan Tian spoke, tears rolled in her eyes, and the face of the man in front of her seemed to be fused with that of more than ten years ago, and she vaguely remembered that the night before he left his mother and her, he also showed such a face.

"Daylight...... I owe you both mother and daughter. ”

"I don't care, I haven't starved to death to this day, but what about Mother! She was blinded by tears for you. ”

Murong Hao lowered his head, Ruan Tian in front of him vaguely still had the appearance of a child, but she was innocent in the past, and now she is indeed full of reproach.

He admitted that the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life was to abandon Ruan Tian and her present, but everything that followed was also due to the impermanence of the world.

"Day'er, there's something I want to tell you, in fact, I met your mother about six or seven years ago."

Ruan Tian was shocked at the moment: "Then you also know that your mother once entered the palace as a concubine!" ”

Murong Hao nodded slightly, and then said: "Actually, I left Jiangnan and went to the capital, and then I found out that the capital was not as good as I imagined. ”

"Do you think I'm going to believe what you're saying now, and if you really feel guilty about our mother and daughter, why don't you keep looking for it."

Murong Hao was told that he had a headache, and his face turned a little pale: "Day'er, I have been looking for your whereabouts everywhere until recently, and the last time I heard from you was two years ago, when I finally got the news after a long search that you were working in a teahouse called Yueshilou in the capital. But not long after, when I went again, you were gone. I've asked everybody, but I don't know where you've gone. ”

Ruan Tian's heart jumped, at that time, because she agreed to Ye Yufu, no one told anyone the news of entering the palace, even if it was Sister Tian, who had such a good relationship with her at that time, she just said that she was going to stay in the field for a while.

"Even if you look for me, it's probably because of guilt, what's the use of talking about it now."

Murong Hao frowned heavily, although he looked quite young on his face, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could no longer be hidden. Speaking of which, the last time I saw Ruan Day, she was just a little girl who had just reached her waist, and she was already a slim girl when I saw her again in a few years.

"Seven years ago, I don't know where your mother got the news of me, I was almost stunned the moment I saw her, she had actually become the rightful and favored Ruan Guifei in the palace. But your mother did not blame me as expected, but apologized to me, she said that she became a mother and really cared for the emperor. At that time, I couldn't let go of you and your mother in my heart, so I was always depressed, let alone married. ”

Although Ruan Tian didn't know how much Murong Hao's words were true, she never imagined that in the end, it would be her mother who would be the first to let go, and she thought that she was forced to enter the palace because she was helpless, but now it seems that who can say exactly what is going on.

Murong Hao looked at Ruan Day's hesitant face, and then said: "Your mother and I were most at ease at that time, you were the most relieved at that time, and we have kept in touch since she returned to the palace, just to be able to find you, she died later on the one hand because her body was already delicate, and on the other hand, because she missed you too much. ”

"Now, no matter what I say, it's useless, Day'er, whether you want to recognize me as this father or not, I want to tell you that no matter what happens between me and your mother, we have never stopped loving you."

Ruan Tian even began to forget the purpose of his coming here at this time, but his eyes gradually became blurred, and tears had already rolled down his cheeks.

Mother has seen it, so what is her obsession for all these years?

Murong Hao also choked up in his heart when he saw Ruan Sun like this, and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

When she didn't cry so much, Murong Hao asked, "Daughter, are you willing to come to Murong's house?" ”
