Su Qinghou also got out of the carriage with his grandson in his arms. He looked at his daughter's happy appearance, and his heart swelled with infinite warmth

Su Qinghou said to Xiaofu: "Fu'er, do you know why your mother is so happy? It's because she went home." Do you see, the big courtyard behind the willow forest is the home of your grandfather and your mother. When your mother came home from a trip when she was a child, she ran home like she does now. Then I ran all the way to my grandfather's room and threw myself into my grandfather's arms......"

Xiaofu couldn't understand what her grandfather was saying now, but she cried when she saw her mother running away.

Su Qinghou smiled: "Good baby, grandpa will take you to chase your mother." ”

Su Qinghou swept up with Xiaofu in his arms and flew away from the air.

Xiaofu also seemed to feel that he had gone from the ground to the sky, and he no longer cried, but let out a "giggle" laugh.

At the end of Liulin Road is the gate of the South Courtyard.

At the entrance of the mansion, there are four swords-wielding disciples of the south courtyard standing on the left and right.

They saw Su Jinhe running over like a happy bird on Liulin Road. One of the disciples shouted happily, "It's Miss!

The other also shouted excitedly: "Look, the person who is flying behind the young lady with the child behind her is Master Hou." Miss Hou Ye is back!Hou Ye and Miss Hou are back, you go and inform them......"

Several doormen were excited.

One of them turned around and ran into the door of the house, and rang the gong to gather the people in the house to greet the master and the young lady.

Because the elite forces of the Southern Courtyard have all arrived in the northern border, in order to prevent the people from the Northern Mansion from infiltrating the southern border and attacking the Southern Courtyard, Su Qinghou has already scattered the old, young, women, children and family members in the mansion. Let them go to relatives and friends first.

Most of the servants were also temporarily dismissed.

Now there are only more than 30 disciples guarding the Great South Courtyard, and more than 20 servants are responsible for cleaning. Most of these servants are old servants of the South Courtyard. A few were born in the South Courtyard. So the South Courtyard is their home. They are not willing to leave the South Courtyard, even if they die, they have to guard their home.

These disciples and servants dutifully take care of the South Courtyard every day.

Su Jin'er rushed to the door of the mansion in one breath. The joy of returning home bloomed like a flower on her delicate face.

At this time, Su Qinghou also fell with Xiaofu in his arms.

Huang Douzi and the others also beat their horses and came happily towards the gate of the mansion.

Finally returning home, the joy of the beans is indescribable.

Several guards stepped forward to pay homage to Su Qinghou, and their eyes were red with excitement.

Entering the gate of the mansion, dozens of people who stayed in the mansion also rushed from everywhere. Several old men stumbled into Su Qinghou and Su Jin'er. Several people burst into tears with excitement.

"Miss Hou, you're back, you really want to die old slave......"

"Master Hou, we are looking forward to you and Miss every day!"

Su Qinghou looked at these loyal servants, looked at his own mansion, and nodded with satisfaction.

Su Jin'er asked Huang Douzi to give them the items he had brought from the north. The crowd was even more elated. Then the father of the Su family, surrounded by everyone, walked towards the hospital where Su Qinghou was hospitalized.

Everywhere we go, everything is as neat and clean as ever. There was not a single pickle on the road or in the corridors, not even a single fallen leaf.

Just like when Su Qinghou was in the mansion.

This made Su Qinghou very satisfied.

Huang Ji, the deputy head of the Southern Courtyard who stayed behind, reported the situation in the mansion to Su Qinghou on the side.

When they arrived at the garden where Su Qinghou lived, Su Qinghou asked everyone to go back first.

And they dispersed first.

Huang Ji instructed the cook to kill pigs and ducks, and prepare a dinner party for Su Qinghou.

Su Qinghou and his daughter entered the garden. Su Jin'er took Xiaofu back to her house first. She wants her daughter to show her room.

Su Qinghou turned the rockery, and he saw a pale old servant standing at his door on crutches. The old servant was at least eighty years old. Seeing Su Qinghou, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and his beard trembled.

Su Qinghou walked over and said, "Uncle Liang, why are you standing here?"

Liang Boke is the oldest person in the Southern Courtyard, and he also served Su Qinghou's grandfather back then. It can be said that he is a loyal servant of the Su family for four generations. Therefore, Su Qinghou has a lot of respect for Uncle Liang.

Uncle Liang wiped away his tears and said, "The old slave knows that you and Miss are back." High...... Glad. But I'm not in a position to do it now. It's hard to run to meet you, so the old slave is here waiting for you. ”

Su Qinghou helped Liang Bo into his room.

Everything was as usual in the room.

The windows are bright and spotless.

There was an open book on the desk, which was still flipped through and put on the desk when Su Qinghou left.

It remains as it is.

It can be seen that every day the servants came in to clean it, but they did not touch the book.

Su Qinghou also saw a steaming cup of tea on the desk. This made Su Qinghou's heart hot. He took a sip of his tea and put the bowl down.

Su Qinghou said to Liang Bo: "Uncle Liang, you really have a heart. ”

Liang Bodao: "Master Hou, you grew up watching an old slave. I know you like to have a cup of tea at this time of day. So the old slave will make a cup of hot tea and put it on your desk at this time of the day. I didn't expect that as soon as the old slave was soaked, you would come back. I can just drink it. The old slave was so happy. ”

Su Qinghou sighed: "It feels so good to go home." By the way, Uncle Liang, after I leave, everything will be okay in the house?"

Liang Bo said: "It's not good. ”

Su Qinghou was shocked in his heart, Huang Jiyu reported that everything was fine, but why did Liang Bo say it badly.

Su Qinghou asked, "Why is it bad?"

Liang Bo looked at Su Qinghou and said earnestly: "Because Master Hou is not here." Master Hou, do you know that you are the soul of this southern courtyard. You've been away for so long, and the South Courtyard has no soul, can you be okay? You're not there, the South Courtyard is actually not the real South Courtyard anymore. It's just a garden house made of countless bricks and tiles. So the South Courtyard is Hou Ye, and Hou Ye is the South Courtyard. No one can take your place. It's the old master, and the old master can't compare to you. They are only the lords of the Southern Courtyard, but they are not the souls of the Southern Courtyard. ”

The old slave's words really caused a stir in Su Qinghou's heart.

He Su Qinghou is the soul of the Southern Courtyard!

What a compliment!

Su Qinghou said: "Uncle Liang, are you okay now?"

Liang Bodao: "The soul is back, of course it's good!"

Su Qinghou smiled and said, "Since it's okay, then you go back and rest first." When we eat for a while, let's have a few drinks. ”

After Uncle Liang left, Su Qinghou stood on the desk, thinking about what Uncle Liang said before leaving, he was really emotional.

Su Qinghou picked up the pen and wrote four words on the paper with the line - the soul of the Southern Courtyard.

Then he looked at these four words and muttered: It seems that in the battle between me and Qin Tang, I can only win and not lose. If you lose, the South Courtyard will have no soul......

......

The next day, Su Qinghou and his daughter's grandson went to Qilan's grave to pay respects.

When Su Qinghou left, he specially instructed Huang Ji to take good care of Qilan Cemetery. Therefore, the Qilan cemetery is also very well maintained. The grass and trees are neatly trimmed.

There are also many offerings placed in front of the tomb.

Huang Ji brought people to worship the hostess in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Su Qinghou saw that there was still a glass of wine in front of the tombstone. Su Qinghou felt that there was something wrong with this wine, and he gently touched the cup with his hand.

Hot.

In the glass is hot wine.

Su Qinghou frowned slightly.

It was obvious that someone had come to worship Qilan just now, and a cup of hot wine was put in. And this person has not long been gone. Maybe they left when they came.

And this person also knew that Qilan did not drink cold wine before her death.

Who is this person?
