Qingluo Jinghe

Chapter 61
As the pigeons flew into the courtyard, there was a rustling sound, and Yue Ruo had to find a dark place that was not easily seen and waited for an opportunity.

Not far away is an hourglass, which is a tool for timekeeping at night.Bursts of blue smoke drifted out of the room, presumably someone burned incense to time the clock.

"Cuckoo..."

"Polala... Goo Goo..."

The pigeon fluttered its feathers and called twice rhythmically, and the rustling sound was getting closer and closer.

Listen carefully, the sound does not come from the nearby path... Yue Ruo was wondering, when he saw Su Chengmo come out from the grass beside him, looked left and right, and then walked towards the pigeon.

Dazed for a moment, Yue Ruo saw Su Chengmo take off a small piece of paper from the pigeon's foot, and wanted to take a closer look, but it was too far away to see clearly.

She was about to turn over and pass the food she had brought to Yueruo—if it was New Year's Eve, when thousands of houses were lit up, and it wasn't warm at all, Yueruo couldn't stand it.

Who would have thought that Su Chenghai would come to the courtyard at this time, probably to fetch the firecrackers and light them up with Su Zexun, so as to bring good luck in the new year.

Just now when he turned around the corridor and saw Su Chengmo, Su Chenghai wrote down his disgust in every behavior, as if it was a bad luck to see Su Chengmo when he went out when the New Year was approaching.

"Why are you still here?"

When he heard the noise, Su Chengmo had already sent the pigeon away, and now the pigeon was resting less than a foot away from Yue Ruo's side, telling Yue Ruo not to move for a while.

"Master Hui, slave..."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen to your explanation on New Year's Eve, so I went to get my things today." Su Chenghai frowned, and there was obviously no affection for this younger brother in his eyes.

"This year's plan will be required by the official next year. If I don't see you submit it tomorrow, you will have to wait."

The father and son squeezed out every trace of Su Chengmo's value, but never thought about the blood relationship, and wondered if the filial piety of father and son only restrained others?

Even some sour Confucians in the Bai Dynasty opened their mouths and kept silent, "If a father is not kind, sons should be filial. Brothers are not friends, but younger brothers need brotherhood." But this is not the way of today's Dali Confucianism.

Su Chengmo took the things, Su Chenghai took them and left, "If you get up tomorrow morning, if you don't see the documents you should have, or if there are any mistakes in the documents, just wait for me and my father to teach you."

Yue Ruo listened anxiously on the wall, but Su Chengmo over there was already used to it.

Seeing that there is only nearly one-third of the hourglass left not far away, Yue Ruo knows that it is almost time for Yuefu to observe the new year, so she should get up and go back to the mansion.

The food in his hand was brought specially for Su Chengmo, so it was impossible to take it back, so he had to find a place where Su Chengmo must pass.

Turning around and going back outside the courtyard wall, Yue Ruofu heard the same sound of horseshoes as when he just came, so he took advantage of the moonlight to walk quickly.

The sound of the horse's hooves was not someone else, it was Qingluo's mother Bai Lantiao's younger brother Bai Lanting who sent the letter.

Jiangnan has been busy with business recently, and Bai Lanting's family couldn't return to Jingzhaolai to celebrate the New Year with his father and sister, so they stayed in Jiangnan, so they specially sent someone to send a letter with some special products in Jiangnan.

Besides, if Yue Ruo hurried back to the mansion, she naturally didn't know what happened in the Su mansion.

"Your father and brother showed kindness and gave you some food on this New Year's Eve?" A girl in green clothes turned around and entered Su's residence, and said with a bit of a joke.

Su Chengmo didn't respond, but the girl said again, "You are well-versed in civil and military skills, so why should you be punished like this!"

"Is it because of the bondage of the father, son and brother?"

"It is indeed not as good as my sons and daughters in the Jianghu. If it is a debate between good and evil, how can we care about blood relationship..."

"They are my father and brother." What Su Chengmo said only made the girl not want to say any more.

A sound of footsteps was getting closer, the girl in green clothes used her strength to climb out of the courtyard wall, the owner of the footsteps came, but it was Su Chenghai who went and returned.
