On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Changce accompanied Shen Zuihuan back to his parents' home.

The rich and prosperous golden silk nanmu carriage of the General's Mansion gurgled over the frost-paved streets of Chang'an City.

It has been stopped at the gate of the Zuo Nei Shi Mansion.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, they were led by the housekeeper Wang, who stood at the door early in the morning and came to greet them, and went around the long corridor to the study.

They first went to the study to visit Shen Jianzhang.

At that time, Shen Jianzhang was sitting alone on a mahogany Taishi chair, flipping through an ancient book.

Seeing the two coming, they just nodded lightly.

It wasn't until Gu Tang ran over and called "grandfather" sweetly with that little face, that he had a slight smile on his face.

After being coaxed by Gu Tang's three or two words, he coughed lightly and said to Gu Changce: "I accidentally got a chess game a few days ago, Jing An came over to help me see how it was?" ”

When these words fell, Gu Changce walked over as he said.

Shen Jianzhang said, and also took out the chess game.

Shen Zuihuan didn't pass, she was worried about her aunt in her heart, and saw that her father didn't mean to embarrass someone.

said goodbye softly and took Gu Tang to find his aunt.

At that time, Lin was watering a freshly blooming plum tree in his yard.

Seeing the two of them coming, he hurriedly put down the kettle he was holding in his hand and beckoned the two to come into the house and sit.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and the whole inner room was warm.

Shen Zuihuan first untied the outermost layer of clothes for Gu Tang, and then untied the heavy crane on his body, and casually put it on the black lacquer and gold coat rack standing at the door.

After Lin opened the bead curtain and entered the door, he first smiled and greeted her.

When Shen Zuihuan inadvertently asked about Shen Qingtang, she frowned and sighed lightly while touching Gu Tang's round little head.

Lin said: "..... Your little sister has encountered some troubles in recent days, and she hasn't been out for several days. ”

Shen Zuihuan heard this, his face showed surprise, and he asked hesitantly, "...... What's the trouble? ”

Xiaomei has been casual and free since she was a child, and she is a character who would rather wronged others than wronged herself.

Shen Zuihuan didn't expect that she would have such an annoyance that she didn't want to go out one day.

When Lin Shi heard this, her expression was slightly paused, and she didn't say what was bothering.

just smiled at Shen Zuihuan pulling his lips and said vaguely: ".... It's better to let her see it clearly as soon as possible, so as not to hold some unrealistic ideas all day long and delay the rest of her life. ”

Hearing this, Shen Zuihuan's eyes flashed slightly.

After a pause, he immediately changed the topic with a natural expression.

Talking to Lin, before I knew it, it was almost noon.

Gu Tang got up late in the morning and didn't eat much.

Before the meal arrived, he gently tugged on Lin's sleeve and said pitifully, "Grandmother, I'm hungry....."

She blinked a pair of big black grape-like eyes, and when she landed, Lin's heart softened like a puddle of water.

He instructed the maidservant who was waiting beside him to bring several plates of hot and freshly made pastries.

Looking at the pleasing appearance of Gu Tang's Zhengxiang eating, Lin couldn't stop smiling.

But Shen Zuihuan was still thinking about Gu Changce, so he sat for a while, and then said to Lin: "Mother, I'll go to the study to see if my father and Jing An have finished chatting, and we will have a meal together later." ”

Hearing this, Lin nodded with a smile.

Shen Zuihuan put on his clothes again and turned around and went to the study.

But I didn't expect that this time I was empty, and the maid who was waiting in the study replied to her quite respectfully: "Miss, the master and uncle went to the lakeside pavilion to enjoy the snow, and it is estimated that they will come back in a while." ”

When it comes to appreciating the snow, Shen Zuihuan's scalp is numb.

I thought that my father would take the opportunity to test his knowledge, and maybe let him improvise poetry.

I don't know how many things Gu Jingan learned back then after so many years.

But it was useless for her to worry at this time.

Then he waved his hand to the maid beside him and said, "I know, you go down first, and I will wait for them here for a while." ”

When the maid heard this, there was a faint hint of hesitation on her face.

But it was inconvenient for her to refute it openly, so she nodded and withdrew.

There are a lot of books in Shen Jianzhang's study, but Shen Zuihuan rarely comes to his study when he is not out of the cabinet.

It's just because her father has a strong sense of territory and doesn't like others to go in and out of his study casually.

And Shen Zuihuan has been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, her father didn't let her in casually, and she really didn't come once.

Now it's time to take a good look at my father's book collection.

Shen Jianzhang is a civil official, and his collection of books is naturally much richer than that in the general's mansion.

But what he put on his bookshelf are some obscure and incomprehensible literary and historical classics.

And there are only a few travelogues and other things used to relieve boredom, and there are not even as many as those in the general's mansion.

Shen Zuihuan looked around and felt that it was not interesting.

But in a blink of an eye, I suddenly saw that at the top of the bookshelf, there was an inconspicuous corner hiding an ancient book rubbings of "Warring States Chronicles".

Her eyes lit up, she folded up her skirt, and wanted to reach for it on tiptoe, but she didn't expect that because she was too anxious, she accidentally touched a wooden box next to her.

The wooden box slammed to the ground.

The lids were all broken.

The paper stored in it was even more sprinkled all over the floor.

Shen Zuihuan saw this, lest his father be angry.

Some squatted down to clean it up, but they didn't expect to pick up one of them.

But I saw a page of familiar handwriting.

It seems to be...... A letter......

She stopped breathing for a moment, her gaze swept across the page in disbelief.

Suddenly, I felt that my hands and feet were weak.

A hot sensation came from the bottom of her eyes, and she took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress the sudden tears.

The movement of his hand frantically picked up the other papers one by one.

...... It's all the same handwriting!

Looking at the content on it, it is clear that it was a letter written by Gu Changce to himself when he was in Yanmen.

Before I knew it, tears blurred my vision in an instant.

Shen Zuihuan sobbed briefly and sharply.

Quickly touched a handful of tears with his sleeve.

She bit her lip and thought to herself with some sadness, why did her father do this!

Why did you hide all the letters that Gu Changce once gave her.

Does he know.... Do you know that she used to .....

Thinking like this, Shen Zuihuan only felt that his eyes were black for a while.

The letters were all three fingers thick on top of each other.

When she held it in her hand, she felt as if it weighed as much as a thousand pounds.

Shen Zuihuan thought to himself, what was Gu Changce thinking when he wrote these letters, and when he didn't receive her letters again, was he as sad as her?

Tears rolled down in strings.

But she couldn't bother to wipe it anymore at this time, her slender arms held the chair beside her, and she struggled to stand up straight.

I want to go out the door and ask my father what the hell is going on!

She has always been polite and cowardly, but at this moment, it was as if she had suddenly sprouted great courage.

But who knows, before she could go to find Shen Jianzhang, the next moment, the door of the study was pushed open.
