Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 50 Huo Xian returns home
When Madam Liu heard the summons, she pushed open the door and entered, blessed her body: "Madam, what can I tell this old servant?"

Mrs. Liu stabilized her expression, first took a sip of the tea at hand, moistened her throat, and then slowly moved her gaze to the standing Nanny Liu: "If I remember correctly, do you have a fellow countryman in Ning Guogong?" Are you a government official?"

Liu Mama didn't expect that Madam, who has eyes above the top, would suddenly inquire about her fellow villager. Although she was full of doubts, she still said in detail: "Exactly, that fellow villager and this old slave are The one who came to the capital on the same day is now the second-class woman next to Mrs. Ning Guogong."

"Very good, hurry up and find out if Miss Huo's family went out yesterday, the sooner the better. Remember, no one should know about this." A stern look flashed across Liu's gentle face, and he was a little displeased. It's like the person who talked to Nie Qin just now.

"Yes, the old slave is retiring."

Nanny Liu covered the door and went out towards the gate of the mansion.

After giving orders to Aunt Liu, Mrs. Liu smiled at Nie Qin again: "Master, please be patient. Zuo is just a little girl. Is it possible that he can really get into your head?"

In Liu's eyes, Huo Qi is indeed somewhat smart.Ordinary girls of this age either have better-looking clothes in a certain shop or are discussing where to go for fun, but Huo Qi acts calmly and has an unusual mind comparable to that of a girl in a boudoir.But her most fatal weakness is that she is only 15 years old. After all, she is still at an age that is not deeply involved in the world.In her eyes, these tricks are just children's play. Who would really regard a teenage child as a so-called threat?
"If it's really Huo Qi, then he won't be able to stay."

Nie Qin spoke in a deep voice and walked away, leaving Mrs. Liu in awe of the dishes on the table.After a while, she began to eat her rice slowly and gracefully as before.

……

Duke Ning's Mansion, the main courtyard.

Today, everyone in Duke Ning's mansion is radiant, not for anything else but because the eldest young master in the mansion is about to return home.Yesterday, Huo Xian asked a young man to go back to his hometown to deliver a message, saying that he had settled in the Capital Posthouse and would return to his hometown the next day.Although Wang Shi asked why Huo Xian didn't just go back home, she still couldn't stop the joy in her heart.

Early in the morning, the second wife of the Huo family had already arrived at the main house to wait according to the rules. They looked quite happy, but there was no way to find out whether the smiles were real or fake.Today, Huo Ruhai rarely wore a black silk robe with long sleeves and pipa sleeves. He sat on the main seat, pursed his lips and said nothing.Huo Qi was beside Huo Ruhai, with a somewhat relaxed look on his face.

"Dad, if you want to meet eldest brother at the door of the house, just turn right when you go out. Why do you have to look around like this?" Huo Qi said with a smile.

Huo Ruhai retracted his stretched neck, shook hands into fists, covered his mouth and coughed awkwardly: "Who said I was watching? He might as well stay outside the wall and never come back for the rest of his life, so as to save your mother from having to worry about it. I miss him."

Outside the main house, the door of Duke Ningguo's mansion was wide open, with dozens of servants lined up on both sides of the door, Mrs. Wang and the old housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, were waiting at the door early.The Ningguo Mansion has always been low-key, and the gates are closed on weekdays. The rare battle actually attracted many ordinary people to guard the gate of the mansion and join in the fun.

"Why is the door of Duke Ningguo's mansion wide open today? It's strange!"

"Hey! Why don't you know this! It's the eldest young master of the Huo family who is back!"

"Young master? Why have you never seen him before?"

"It is said that I left home for three years and ran away to the outside of the Great Wall. I don't know exactly what I did." An old man stroking his beard commented.

The people were chattering at the gate of the mansion, and within a quarter of an hour, a horse with a shiny coat slowly stopped at the gate of Duke Ningguo's mansion.

It was Baoqin next to Wang who had sharp eyes and shouted loudly: "The young master is back!"

After hearing this call, the people all turned their eyes towards the person on the horse.

I saw a tall young man turning over from his horse, with a sword on his waist, glowing with a faint blue light. His face was resolute, his mouth was pursed tightly, showing a stubborn and arrogant attitude, and his posture had the air of a young general. , he actually no longer looks like the frail scholar he was three years ago.

When Wang heard this, she turned her head and looked behind her. From the moment her gaze fell on Huo Xian, her eyes were covered with mist. Seeing that Huo Xian had walked in front of her, she took Huo Xian's hand and looked at it carefully. Fan, half choked and half relieved.

"It can be regarded as coming back! Taller, thinner, and darker. Did you suffer a lot outside?"

"Mom, I have never endured hardship, everything is fine." Huo Xian said with a warm smile on his face. Huo Xian lifted the corner of his robe and pretended to kneel down to salute.

Just as Huo Xian bent his knees, Mrs. Wang immediately helped him up: "It's good to come back, why bother to do these vain rituals. Your father and your sister are already waiting inside. They are all looking forward to your return. Daddy, hurry up and talk in the room."

Huo Xian nodded. The entrance of the mansion was not far from the main courtyard. It took only three or two steps to arrive. The moment he saw Huo Ruhai, Huo Xian's face was tense as if it had been coated with a layer of paste, but he was pursed. The corners of his lips were trembling slightly, revealing the uneasiness in his heart at the moment.

He knelt down and performed a standard father-son ceremony: "Father, the child is not filial, and has not returned home for three years."

Huo Ruhai stared at him deeply, with a lump in his throat: "So I know you're coming back, so get up first and sit down to talk."

This situation fell into Huo Qi's eyes, and he couldn't help but follow his will.Huo Ruhai has always treated her with indulgence and kindness, but in front of Huo Xian, she always likes to maintain her father's status and dignity. She understands that Huo Ruhai cares about Huo Xian, and also understands Huo Ruhai's customary reserve in front of Huo Xian.Father and son haven't seen each other for three years, no matter how much estrangement there is, it should be reconciled with time.

Huo Xian obeyed the order and stood up, found a seat under the main seat and sat down. He looked at Huo Qi next to Huo Ruhai, and saw that she was staring at him motionless, looking dazed for a moment, and her eyes were slightly wet: "My sister has grown taller. Now, she has become a big girl."

"Brother, long time no see. Welcome back."

Huo Qi smiled faintly, her spine as tight as a string, but her expression remained as cold as ever. No one could realize the turbulent emotions running through her heart.

Huo Xian can be regarded as an excellent big brother. In the last life, before Huo Xian left home, the two siblings grew up together.Her riding and shooting was taught by Huo Xian. When she was a child, she loved to eat fried carrot cake, but Wang felt it hurt her liver. When she was greedy, Huo Xian risked being scolded by Wang and secretly went to the street to buy it and stuffed it. In her hand.

Huo Xian said that when she gets married, he will find the best glass jade bracelet for her to add makeup to her.But when she got married, Huo Xian didn't come back. When Huo Xian came back, he had turned into a cold corpse.

Including life and death, she and Huo Xian had been separated for ten years, which was long enough for her to forget Huo Xian's voice and smile.But when she saw Huo Xian again in Huailin, the vague outline in her memory gradually became clear, making people feel that Huo Xian had never left.

Huo Rushan looked at Huo Xian, and cut off the sight of Huo Xian and Huo Qi, two brothers and sisters: "Brother Xian is back, our family is complete."

Yan Yan's smiling expression, coupled with a warm and tender sentence, naturally put together the face of a caring uncle, who seemed to be happy from the bottom of his heart for Huo Xian's return.

When these words fell into Huo Qi's ears, it had another meaning.In Huo Xian's previous life, Huo Rushan begged Huo Ruhai to promote Huo Chi intentionally or unintentionally, calling it a plan for the entire Huo family, but he never cared about Huo Ruhai's pain of losing his son.Now he pretends to welcome Huo Xian back, thinking about it makes people laugh.

Besides, the first room is the first room, the second room is the second room, and the hearts have never been twisted together, so what kind of family are you talking about?

Huo Xian only noticed Huo Rushan and his wife sitting across from him at this time, and then swept around the room again: "Where are the second sister and second brother? Why haven't they come?"

"Your second sister is now married to Zhenyuanhou's mansion, so she is not in the mansion. As for Brother Chi, he went to drink with the young master of Shangshu's mansion yesterday, and has not returned to the mansion. I think we can see you at night."

Qi couldn't wait to grab the conversation, as if he had been waiting for Huo Xian to ask this question, his tone was cheerful and his face could not hide his pride.

After hearing this, Huo Xian was slightly startled, but turned her head and glanced at Huo Qi secretly, but she looked calm and did not show any discomfort.He had an intuition that a lot of things must have happened at home since he had been away from home for three years.

Huo Ruhai coughed lightly and said in an awkward and nervous tone: "What have you done outside the Great Wall in the past three years? Apart from telling us that you are coming back, you have not sent a single letter home. You are still angry at being a father." ?”

Huo Xian was stunned again: "Dad, a year ago I asked someone to send a letter home, didn't you receive it?"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Ruhai and Wang Shi looked at each other, Huo Ruhai was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.Huo Qi's eyes glanced at Huo Rushan and his wife intentionally or unintentionally, and a clear sarcasm curled up at the corner of his mouth.

It was Wang who spoke first: "I really haven't received it, what's going on?"

As soon as the words were finished, I saw the old housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, rushing in in a hurry: "Master, madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
