Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 1176 Six Dynasties Gold Powder Land, Jinling Emperor State (2)

After the carriage entered the city, it slowly passed through the bustling long street.

Su Jiu rolled up the car curtain.

The scenery as far as I can see is both strange and familiar, but the accent that comes to my face is exactly the same as in my memory.

She had been away from her hometown for more than ten years, and tears filled her eyes at this moment, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

The carriage finally arrived at Bird Clothes Lane.

Su Jiu supported Xiao Tingchen's men to get out of the carriage, and looked up. The plaque with blue characters on a black background was still as simple as before, and it was inscribed with three correct and small characters "Wuyi Lane".

The apricot tree at the entrance of the alley is much thicker than before, with jagged and bare branches. It has accumulated nutrients in this cold winter, and it will only wait for the flowers to bloom in the next spring.

She walked into Bird Clothes Lane.

The embroidered shoes step on the blue bricks, the carmine gold-woven horse-face skirt sways and flutters, and the gold-woven dark patterns are painted all over the glitz of the world, as if telling stories that have settled in the years.

She looked back and saw that the old neighbors had all moved to other places, the rich doors were closed tightly, and the whole bird clothing alley was extraordinarily quiet and peaceful.

She passed by the Xie Mansion.

The door locks of the Xie family are withered and rusty, the peach charms pasted in the past have long faded and mottled, and the stone lions in front of the door are covered with snow but no one cleans them, it is really desolate.

Moving forward, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

The laurel tree at the end of the alley is still luxuriant, covering and protecting the alley like a patron saint.

When she was young, she sat under the laurel tree and read countless times.

At that time, Xie Er, Hua Rou and A Man were still there, and they would often bring her delicious flower cakes and tell jokes to make her happy...

The scenery remains the same, but the Kesi people are long gone.

Su Jiu felt melancholy.

She stood still under the steps of the Xiao Mansion, looking up at the ancestral house.

Xiao's father didn't know the news that she and Xiao Tingchen had returned secretly, and he would be happy to see them later.

There was finally more happiness in her eyes.

She stepped up the steps and was about to knock on the door when the Zhumen door suddenly opened with a "squeak".

The old steward looked at her in surprise, and the letter in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

He couldn't believe it, tears welled up in his eyes, "Small, miss?!"

Noticing the man standing behind the woman with his hands behind his back, he came back to his senses, and quickly fell to his knees excitedly: "Caomin pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Caomin pays respects to the empress. age!"

Su Jiu helped him up personally, "Uncle Housekeeper has watched me grow up since I was a child, so it doesn't have to be like this."

She picked up the letter again.

She knew the envelope.

This is an envelope cut by Xiao's father himself, which is different from the ones sold in bookstores outside.

For ten years, Xiao's father would send her a letter at the end of each year, telling interesting stories about Jinling, and asking Ran Ran if they had grown taller, and if they had been obediently reading and practicing calligraphy.

In the past few years, she always wanted to go back to Jinling to see him, but he always refused in his letters.

He said that since she became a queen, she should take good care of the harem, and she couldn't always go back to her mother's house so far away and be criticized by the courtiers.

Su Jiu wanted to open the letter, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Forget it, since we're at the door, how boring is it to read the letter? I'll go and say hello to Dad!"

She stepped joyfully across the threshold.

The steward stood where he was, hesitated to speak, and finally fell silent, watching her walk away worriedly.

Xiao Tingchen put his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on both sides of the mansion gate.

The Spring Festival couplets posted last year have long since faded and been rolled up, but it can be vaguely seen that they are couplets inscribed on green paper.

The rule here in the south of the Yangtze River is that when a family member passes away, the filial couplet is written on white paper in the first year, symbolizing holiness and innocence.

In the second year, the filial piety couplets on yellow paper symbolize solemnity and solemnity.

In the third year, green paper is used to express the thoughts of deceased relatives.

Obviously, Xiao Yu has been gone for three years.

It must be because he didn't want Su Xiaojiu to worry about him, so he left a lot of letterheads and asked the steward to send them to Chang'an every year in his name.

The pious father love makes people cry.

He wandered into the mansion.

Walking into Xiao Yu's study with ease, the desks, chairs and bookshelves are the same as before, but there is less human atmosphere.

On the desk, there was a neat stack of letters, all of which were sent to him by Su Jiu over the years.

No one opened the last three envelopes.

The stack of letters next to him was left by him during his lifetime and asked the steward to send it to Su Jiu every year.

Su Jiu stood behind the desk in a daze, reading one by one.

"Little wine, my son..."

"... You must take care of your health. Everything in the Jinling ancestral house is safe, and your father is also safe. Don't worry about it."

"To supervise Ran Ran and Xiao Yu's studies, even if they are in a high position, they must not neglect their studies..."

"Daddy misses you in Jiangnan..."

Su Jiu stared blankly at the different signing dates.

It turns out that Dad is already gone?
Tears dripped onto the letterhead, smearing ink on the rice paper.

She hugged the letters that were too late to send, clutching her heart tightly, and finally burst into tears, choking with sobs.

She collapsed and knelt down on the ground, choked up and unable to speak: "Daddy..."

He is such a kind and amiable person, even if she is the child of a rival in love, he loves her like a treasure, pampers her like a jewel in his palm, and makes her a good girl who is very educated and knowledgeable.

Whenever he went to other places to do business, he never forgot to bring her local gadgets, and he even planted camphor trees for her to bring her back to her ancestors.

She will have everything that other girls have...

Although they were not related by blood, he loved her very much.

He is the person she regards as her father!
She was unfilial, and she didn't serve him properly in his later years!
Su Jiu mourned unbearably, tears filled his clothes, and his eyes turned black.

Xiao Tingchen stepped forward and gently hugged her into his arms.

He bowed his head and kissed her heart, giving her warmth and comfort in the most silent way.

.

It's the winter solstice, it's time to eat dumplings!

　Thank you love for the reward, I wish the baby a smooth exam and a successful start!
