Sitting on the roof, basking in the warm afternoon sun, Xia Xiao looked at the direction of the palace very lazily. Calculated by day, today's funeral should also be over. Although I didn't participate, I heard Uncle Su say that Ji Yun was buried in a sea of flowers, all of which were extremely gentle hibiscus.

This year, the hibiscus of the imperial capital bloomed in a hurry, and they all bloomed in advance, and went with the most tender poetry in the world.

The courtyard has become a scene of peach blossoms and green leaves. This is the result of three days and three nights of busy work, and the trees have adapted to the environment and settled down here.

Everything seemed to be back to normal, and when Shu Shuang, who was standing in the courtyard, looked at Xia Xiao, she felt a little uncomfortable. He had been decadent for three days, and his cultivation had been thrown aside. It's time to relax these days, but how much longer?

If it weren't for the barren lines on his arms, Shu Shuang would be extremely uncomfortable now. It's not a good thing to watch the boy you like feel sad for someone else. But Shushuang could feel Xia Xiao's apology to Ji Yunying, and that sea of flowers was all opened by him for her.

But on this special day, it's not good to continue like this. Xia Jinghong and the four of them are going back to the imperial capital today. This family can finally be reunited.

After nearly 10,000 miles and four full days, they came all the way, and when they returned home, waiting for them would be brand-new slaves and maids, and luxurious brick houses.

When Shu Shuang was in a trance, Xia Xiao had already fallen from the roof.

"The time is almost up, let's go to the city gates. ”

Shu Shuang nodded and followed. The Xia family is now the residence of the second-grade officials, although it has not been expanded, but the room utensils are much more exquisite than before.

Passing through the corridor, a maidservant is trimming flowers and watering, and a servant is cleaning the room. Welcoming the master of Xia Mansion today, they were also a little excited. However, I heard that the Xia family is very easy to get along with, but they don't know what kind of way to get along.

At the corner of the corridor, the handsome maid and the middle-aged housekeeper saluted with a smile when they saw Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang coming.

"Young master, the carriage is ready. ”

"Good work. ”

The housekeeper didn't know who it was, but he was able to complete the division of labor among these maids and servants in just half a day, which really made Xia Xiao admire. A summer mansion seems small, but in fact, it is not easy to operate normally. And this maid is the one who gave Shu Shuang an umbrella that day. As Xia Xiao thought, after hearing the news that she could come to the General's Mansion, she immediately chose to leave the palace.

The housekeeper and maid followed behind Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, and listened to him ask:

"Where's Huiyue?"

"Helping out in the back kitchen. ”

The housekeeper said, and reported:

"The old lady in the forty-eighth lane in the west of the city sent five roast chickens, and she resolutely refused to accept the money, so I asked people to secretly put the silver into her house. ”

"Well done. ”

Xia Xiao walked quickly, and when he stood in the front hall, the door of Xia Mansion was already open.

Outside the door is a quiet street, and although there are some people gathered at this time, it is not noisy. The neighbors here didn't have the face to be happy, they all said things that were unfavorable to Xia Fu at the beginning, but at this time they were still watching from afar.

In front of the door, Xia Jinghong raised his head and looked at the gorgeous door plaque, and breathed a sigh of relief for a long time. Xia Xu's face was full of smiles, not as good as Xiao Rong and Xia Wan's pear blossoms and rain.

Seeing these familiar faces, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang greeted them, smiling, happy and proud.

When the maids in the front hall and courtyard stopped their movements, Xia Xiao crossed the threshold, stretched out his arms, and hugged his father fiercely. They were thrilled and burst into tears.

It is a great blessing to leave in embarrassment that day, and to return today full of innocence and honor!

"Welcome home!"

The middle-aged butler bowed deeply, and the maids and servants repeated the words. When it echoed in the courtyard, a trace of peace finally appeared on Xia Jinghong's slightly tired face.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Xia Jinghong looked at the more than 30 people and said loudly:

"From now on, we are a family. Celebrate the day with a dinner later!"

"Yes—"

Bathing and changing clothes, setting tables in the backyard, and hanging lanterns. There were five tables of 100 servants, and they sat around the small table in the center.

When Xia Jinghong said that he wanted everyone in Xia Mansion to dine together, first the housekeeper was shocked, and then the cook was shocked. But this is exactly what he wants, when Xia Jinghong was busy with military affairs in the north, he had no intention of getting together with his family. It wasn't until hundreds of the Xia family's servants died in the courtyard, shouting that he had no regrets, that he regretted that he didn't take more time to ask his family.

Now that their souls are still there, Xia Jinghong took the lead in pouring a glass of wine, spilled it on the ground and drank another glass, and then raised a glass to Xia Xiao.

"Daddy is proud of you!"

If the meat is numb, it is served with peach blossoms on the head, and the roast chicken on the table is accompanied by wine. Xia Xiao drank it, saw his father pour another glass, and said:

"Everyone, drink this wine with me. ”

Hundreds of people raised their glasses and took a few peach petals.

These maidservants either came from the palace or were selected, but they didn't expect to be treated like this in the Xia Mansion. It's not a good place to sit on this bench, but it's very comfortable. They finally understood why none of the 100 people escaped in advance, but were willing to die in the hospital.

Xia Jinghong, who has a good way of governing the army, regards his home as an army, and the people in it must be loyal, if there is a traitor, kill or drive away, there will be no good end. But if he was sincere, he would be as sincere as his brothers and sisters.

Therefore, he has an army, which is still stuck like a sharp dagger in the north of Great Xia, guarding the Goulong Bang clan in the far north.

Something happened to the Xia family, the Xia family army wanted to rebel, and Xia Jinghong sent a letter to the frontier, although there were only equal words, but they were really waiting. Now, the matter of the imperial capital was reported to the frontier three days ago, and since the grievances of the Xia Mansion were cleared, they could also feel at ease in the frontier.

Tonight is another drunken night, Xia Xu is holding a chicken leg and drinking happily, not forgetting to praise the mellow aroma of this wine. In comparison, what kind of stuff does Longgang drink? It's just horse urine!

After walking for a few days, Xiao Rong and the three girls sat on the side, although they were tired, they were happy when they watched the three of them talk.

There was a lot of chat, but there were a lot of things to do after three months of separation. Xia Jinghong's face was calm, and he occasionally showed a look of surprise. After a long time, he asked:

"Has the Holy One called me?"

"Not at the moment, I guess I want you to rest for two more days. ”

Xia Jinghong shook his head.

"When you leave for Ning Seminary, Xu'er and I will go to the north, and the army over there is still waiting for us. ”

Xia Xu picked up the vegetables, stuffed a mouthful, and said heartily:

"It's time to go back and take over what belongs to us!"

The father and son looked at each other and nodded, even though the table was removed, they still stood under the peach blossom tree and looked at the backyard for a long time.

I drank a lot of wine tonight, but Xia Jinghong kept some sobriety. He carried the lantern and walked alone to the front yard to take a closer look. I looked at it in a hurry during the day, and when I looked at it again at this time, it turned out to be the same as the courtyard in my dream.

Measuring this familiar home step by step, they all say that it has been carefully renovated. But in his eyes, everything has not changed, everything is still the same.

Opening the door, Xiao Rong said softly:

"Don't look at it, go to sleep quickly, Xiao'er and they are all resting. ”

They did sleep at this time in the blink of an eye. Time at the dinner table always passed very quickly, and he was worried and excited when he heard Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang talk about so many things in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls and the palace. His own children have always grown up unconsciously, and with Xia Xiao's current talent, he will have even greater achievements after he goes to Ning Seminary for further study.

Maybe one day in the future, Xia Xiao will grow to the point that the entire Great Wilderness is afraid of it.

"It's good to be back. ”

The candle was extinguished with a rough sound, and a wisp of green smoke swirled.

In the backyard room, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang shared a bed. Although there are a lot of rooms in Xiafu, it seems a little bad to let Shu Shuang live alone. But now it's not necessarily a good thing to be crowded together like this.

After drinking, he should be more sleepy, but Xia Xiao couldn't sleep, and he didn't dare to move easily.

"Can't sleep?"

Shu Shuang's voice was sweet, and she got up very considerately. Xia Xiao couldn't sleep well, so she got up. This bed is very wide, but Xia Xiao's heart is not like this. But when Shu Shuang was about to get out of bed, he was pulled by Xia Xiao.

It's time for the relationship to go further, anyway, they can't escape each other. Thinking like this, Xia Xiao pulled Shu Shuang back into his arms.

Covered in a dry quilt, Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao in front of him, although it was pitch black, he might hear his breathing. She wanted to speak, but she didn't say anything about Ji Yunying. The latter looked forward to it for two years and waited for two years, but only received Xia Xiao's apology for three days, which cannot be compared.

"Don't worry. ”

Xia Xiao said, hugging Shu Shuang, just like he was drunk that day. After only a few days, it was no longer dusty, and he would not be left without a backrest, but could only sleep on the ground. But hugging Shu Shuang at this time, Xia Xiao always had a feeling of happiness, so he fell into a daze and fell asleep.

The best wine in the world, but the shoulder pillow of a beautiful woman.
