Chapter Seventy-Two: Constant Homesickness

The Li family building in Lijiazhai in Jinyang Pao Village under the sunset is draped in a heaven-sent red veil, and in the twilight, it is a little lonely.

There was a "creak", and a carriage stopped in front of the door.

At the opening of the curtain of the car, a young man dressed as a eunuch and with a dusty face poked his head out, glanced around, and saw that there was no suspicious person following him, so he jumped out of the car.

Then he turned around and carefully supported a middle-aged eunuch with a tired face and a haggard look to get out of the car.

After paying the fare, and after the carriage creaked away, the two looked at each other with relief and breathed a sigh of relief.

The little eunuch hurriedly slapped the brass ring on the vermilion lacquer gate.

The middle-aged eunuch couldn't help but look around, and his eyes flashed with irrepressible tears.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The door squeaked, and the old woman who came out inside didn't wait to see who was coming.

The middle-aged eunuch couldn't hold himself anymore, pounced, took her hand, and eagerly called "Mother Wu——!"

The old woman looked at the two of them in a daze, her eyes were blank, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was trying her best to search for her own memories, and for a long time, she shook her head lightly and said vigilantly: "You are mistaken!"

The middle-aged eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "poof" pursed his lips, tore off his hat casually, his black hair fluttered out, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "See clearly, Mother Wu! Who mistook it?"

Mother Wu exclaimed, "Oops!", and knelt on the ground, "The old slave should be damned, isn't this Sanniang?" Oh, no, no, no, it's the Queen Mother......!"

"Mother Wu, get up quickly!" Empress Dowager Li leaned down and pulled Mother Wu up, "Don't do this!"

"Alas, you have tormented the old slave!" suddenly looked at the Queen Mother's expression as if something was wrong, which was a little different from the graceful appearance a few years ago, "Queen Mother, have you encountered any trouble?!"

Empress Dowager Li avoided Mama Wu's gaze, turned around and said, "Spring Heart girl, come and see Mama Wu!"

When the spring girl heard this, she spread her hair, stepped forward, and said three blessings deeply.

"Tut-tut, such a handsome girl!" Wu's mother smiled.

"Mother Wu......!" Empress Dowager Li saw that Mother Wu couldn't put it down and pulled the Chunxin girl, and shouted with some jealousy, "Okay, okay, Mother Wu! This drove thousands of miles, and the carriage was bumpy for more than ten days, and the bones were about to fall apart. Don't get some hot water, let's take a comfortable bath!"

Mother Wu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay." The old body is naturally all in place. ”

Mother Wu was just about to turn around, but the Queen Mother grabbed her and said in a low voice: "Mother Wu, remember, don't reveal my identity in front of others." It is only said that a distant relative of the Queen Mother's family came to pay tribute to the ancestors on behalf of the Queen Mother, and left in a few days. ”

"Okay!" Wu Ma nodded understandingly, and then led the two of them towards the courtyard......

The Queen Mother sat in the cedar wood bathtub sprinkled with rose petals and exuding a refreshing fragrance, looking at the Chunxin girl through the mist of the mist, and seemed to say to herself: "During this time, after going through so many things, I have become more and more attached to my homeland.

Then he let out a long sigh, and then muttered, "Although I have suffered here for sixteen years since I met him, for some reason, this is the place I can't forget the most! When I come back here, my heart is much more steady. People, is that cheap?!"

The spring heart girl felt sad for a while, and looked at the Queen Mother with teary eyes, "Queen Mother, you have suffered these days, the slaves are useless, and you have not protected the Queen Mother's ......!"

After the spring heart girl supported the queen mother to bathe and change clothes, surrounded by Wu's mother and several servants and servants in the courtyard, she passed through the corridor of the flower hall, and then turned a few moon cave doors, and came to the quiet backyard family temple covered by green bamboo.

Mother Wu led and pushed open the door of the family temple.

Empress Dowager Li looked solemn and walked inside.

But in front of the statues of the ancestors, ancestors, and spirits, the incense is swirling, the seasonal vegetables and fruits are bright and dazzling, and the offering table is as clean as new.

Empress Dowager Li looked at Wu's mother gratefully, and felt that she had chosen the right person to take care of everything in the old mansion.

After the incense was applied, the spring heart girl helped the queen mother to the futon.

Seeing this, Mother Wu led everyone to retreat, closed the door of the palace, and waited outside.

The Queen Mother knelt down, and the Spring Heart Girl was startled, and said in her heart: The Queen Mother's mind is desperate to the extreme, and she can only pray for the blessing of the gods, does it really work......

Empress Dowager Li had words in her mouth: "The ancestors of the Li family are above, and I am a woman of the people, relying on the glory of my husband and wife, and enjoying the glory of the world." But the women know that everything is not easy to come by, and they dare not have a day of arrogance. May the ancestors and ancestors bless my son Chengyou Emperor for good health, and the Han Zuo Liu family will be eternal for all generations. Bless me with good fortune and auspicious ...... in distress"

......

The spring heart girl thought that she had left Kyoto, left the haunted forbidden palace, and came to the queen mother's hometown, which was thousands of miles away, away from all the disturbances of right and wrong, and the queen mother could always sleep peacefully.

But the Queen Mother had even more difficulty sleeping, touching the scene every day, and chattering with the Chunxin girl about everything that had happened here.

Grinding the ears of the spring heart girl out of the cocoon, the spring heart girl was afraid that the queen mother would lose her heart one day.

This springless girl just went out to the thatched house for a while, and when she came back, the queen mother disappeared.

Where did you go in the middle of the night? The spring girl hurried out anxiously and searched for it in the courtyard.

Fortunately, the gate is locked, the Queen Mother can't get out, the yard is finally reassuring, and the Chunxin girl has familiarized the whole yard in the past few days, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

Finally, I finally found the Queen Mother in the stable in the west courtyard, and the Queen Mother was leaning on the door pillar and grinning!

"Queen Mother!" The Chunxin girl was shocked, why is the Queen Mother crazy?

Hearing the shouting, the Queen Mother turned her head and looked at the Chunxin girl, still laughing.

"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" said the Chunxin girl uneasily.

"Hehehehe!" The Queen Mother couldn't help it more and more, "Spring Heart girl, do you know, my first time was here, and I was taken away by that reckless man! I am a dignified Queen Mother of the Han Family, the first time is in the stable, who would believe it! Hahaha......!"

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with rare passion and a happy and sweet face.

"You were thirty-eight years old that year, and I was only eighteen years old, what do I know?! But you know everything, aren't you lying to me! The age difference is so big, and now you have left us orphans and widows alone, you are really so ruthless......!

"Back then, you were so majestic, walking in front of me, heroic, thick black hair, bright eyes, able to penetrate everything, gestures, heaven and earth trembled for you, your demeanor is unparalleled in the world!"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother couldn't cry.

"I, Li Sanniang, although I have been the queen and queen mother envied by all women in the world all my life, but my heart has always longed for the love of husband and wife, filial piety of relatives and children, and the life of ordinary people who are reunited and safe. ”

The Queen Mother's body slid on the ground from the doorpost of the stable, covering her face with her hands, and she began to cry bitterly......
