After entering the house, Su Mo saluted the old general and the old lady of Lie, and then walked to the table and sat down.

There were only two maids in the room, one setting up the dishes and chopsticks, and the other was putting breakfast on the table.

Three bowls of japonica rice porridge, a plate of pickled radish skin, a plate of vinegared peanuts, a plate of cold duck liver, a plate of golden silk flower rolls, and a drawer of crystal shrimp dumplings.

Whether it is the number of people serving or this meal, it is extremely simple, so simple that it does not look like that of a prince's house.

But whether it is the old general, the old lady or Su Mo, the two maids who are waiting around them, there is no difference in their faces, and they seem to have long been accustomed to this.

There was silence at the dinner table, only the occasional gentle collision of dishes and chopsticks.

I don't know if it's because of their age, the three of them didn't eat much, and the already not rich meal was only half gone.

The maid waited for a few breaths, and saw that the three of them no longer raised chopsticks, so she silently stepped forward and removed the table, made a pot of bird's tongue, poured it into three tea cups made of mutton fat and white jade, and placed them on the small table next to the three of them.

The dried leaves that were curled up met with hot water, and slowly unfolded, and the room was suddenly filled with a strong fragrance of tea, and the white jade cup was filled with green tea soup, which looked particularly beautiful.

But the three of them did not bow their heads to appreciate the beauty of the tea leaves, white and green, but only picked up the tea cup, blew the tea cold, and then drank it in one sip.

"Alright, let's go see them and talk to them, and spend another night in that cold and dark place, and the children should be lonely."

Old Madam Lie put down the cup in her hand and spoke, with a sadness in her words that could not be concealed.

General Lie and Su Mo nodded wordlessly, and the three of them got up and walked out the door.

The style of the small bridge and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River in Liefu is different, it is a typical northern system, with a large opening and closing layout, and a solemn and heroic spirit.

Five-entry big house, wide door and wide road. Separated by the central axis of Fuzhong, surrounded by the left and right corridors, there are small doors on the corridors, and the front and back are communicated and distinct between the courtyards.

The first entry was used as a guest house and a welcoming place, and Lie Qiang and Lie Zheng were brothers and did not separate, and the two families lived in the second and third entrances respectively. The Zhiyuan Hall, where the old general and the old lady live on weekdays, is in the fourth entrance, and there is a large garden between the last entrance.

It's just that the house that was once full of laughter and laughter is now bleak.

The three of them walked out of Zhiyuan Hall and were walking in this big garden at this time.

Everyone in the world knows that Princess Zhaohua Cheng Nishang is a person who loves flowers, whether it is the Zhenguo Mansion where she lived before she got married or the Liefu of the Great General who lived after she got married, the garden was poured down by it can be called a scene in Dingjing, there are many strange flowers and plants, and they bloom in all seasons.

Therefore, the gardens of the two mansions are not only a favorite place for their families to enjoy, but even the girls and wives in the noble circle of the capital were proud to receive the flower viewing posts from Princess Zhaohua at that time.

But now, although this garden is still taken care of every day, it has long lost its former glory. In the harsh winter, only a few plum trees spit out a few buds without fear of the cold, trembling and hanging on the branches, but this gorgeous few points of red are even more bleak in this huge garden.

The three of them walked slowly along the path in the garden, and the eyes of the old lady lingered all over the garden, as if they could still see two loving couples walking in the garden, and they could also see the good grandson who was both civil and military practicing in the garden, and they could also see Yuxue's lovely little granddaughter on tiptoe to pinch flowers and wear them.

But when I looked at it, my eyes gradually blurred, and I couldn't see clearly.

Old Madam Lie raised her hand and wiped her eyes.

The old general sighed silently, took his wife's hand in the palm of his hand, and the two walked out of the garden side by side, walking towards the last entrance to the house.

Su Mo wiped his tears with his sleeve, and took the two maids to walk a few steps quickly and followed closely.

Wear the corridor out of the small door, and the courtyard gate that catches your eye is the fifth entrance, which is different from the vermilion of the first four entrances, and this door is pitch black throughout, which makes people feel heavy when they see it.

This entrance is not inhabited, but it is the most important courtyard in the entire Martyr's Mansion.

The two maids stepped forward, and with a slight force in their hands, the door opened silently, and there was no jerky "squeak" sound of wood, thinking that there were often people coming and going here.

The old general was in front, the old lady was in the middle, and Su Mo was behind, and the three of them walked in one after another.

The courtyard was very spacious, but there was nothing but a stone table and four stone benches.

The door was closed, and a plaque hung high on the door.

Three big characters are engraved on it, which has endured wind and rain for a long time but still exudes strength. Several people stopped and looked at the plaque.

Martyrs' Shrine!

It is the place to enshrine the tablets of the martyrs of the past generations!

"Go in, don't keep the kids waiting." After staring at it for a long time, the old general spoke in a dumb voice, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to push the door.

The two little maids who followed behind Su Mo couldn't help but tremble.

Even though they had followed so many times, the iron and blood that broke out of the door the moment the door opened, the two of them still couldn't stand it.

It was dark inside the house, and even in this blue sky and white day, the light seemed to be blocked from entering.

The old general entered first and lit the lamps and candles on the table in the room.

As soon as the light was bright, the columns of densely packed tablets from top to bottom broke into the eyes of the visitors. All of them are from following Emperor Yongfeng, generation after generation of martyrs and their wives and children who died on the battlefield.

Old Madam Lie approached slowly, stretched out her trembling hands, and touched a tablet placed separately in the bottom column, the sixth generation grandson of the Lie family, the position of Gale Wind.

"Good grandson, grandmother has come to see you!"

The soft cloth towel wiped the tablet in her hand over and over again, and the old lady Lie chattered in her mouth, as if this was not a piece of cold wood, but the smart and filial young man in her arms.

The old general looked at his wife, and then looked at the tablets that showed the withering of the Lie family, and the pain in his heart was about to overflow.

After putting down the tablet of Gale Wind, Mrs. Lie took the tablet of Lie Qiang and Lie Zheng in her hand and looked at it carefully.

Su Mo looked at Cheng Nisheng's tablet and was fascinated.

There was a knock at the door of the courtyard, but the three people who were all occupied by sadness in their hearts and minds, where could they hear it at this time?

Two little maids, look at me, I look at you, and one of them quietly ran out of the house.

There seemed to be something unbelievable, but the little maid couldn't help but raise her voice at the courtyard gate and ask.

Then, I saw the maid blowing in like a whirlwind, and said with a happy face, "Old general and old lady, Su Mo, the county lord she, the county lord is back!" ”

As soon as the tablet in Mrs. Lie's hand was loosened, the maid's eyes were quick, and she caught it and put it on the offering table.

"What do you say? You repeat? ”

"Old lady, the county lord is coming home, I heard that the old general and you are here, and they are coming here!"

The old lady blinked and looked at the old general for help.

Is this true? Yun'er, is she really coming home?

The old general nodded, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed.

Su Mo pinched his arm hard, feeling the strong pain, Su Mo grinned, and smiled so happily for the first time in three years.

The old lady threw away the cloth towel in her hand, turned around and ran to the door, and tripped over the threshold and didn't care.

The old general Lie said straightly, "Slow down, slow down, be careful", but he ran faster than the old lady Lie.

Su Mo wiped a handful of tears that flowed on his face at some point, and ran along.

As soon as he ran out of the dark courtyard gate and ran up to the corridor, he saw a group of people coming from outside.

The three people who were still in a hurry and ran all the way suddenly looked like nails under their feet, and they were firmly nailed to the ground, and they couldn't move a single step.
