Chapter 915
(Brothers, please ***!)
It was getting late, and a man wearing a bamboo hat on his head and covered with snow appeared outside Shangjing City.
"After decades, I'm finally back..."
Looking at the tall and unchanged city walls of Shangjing City in front of him, Sun Zhongrong, or rather Liu Zhongrong, had mixed feelings. He had not set foot in Shangjing City for a long time since he was kicked out by his father.
"I never imagined that I would be able to set foot in the capital in this lifetime."
Liu Zhongrong sighed, stepped into Shangjing City, and headed towards the Sifang Hou Mansion.
"Brother, please let me know. It is Zhongrong of the Liu family who wants to see Mrs. Huayang."
At the door of Sifang Hou Mansion, Liu Zhongrong knocked on the door and said to the servant who stuck his head out.
The servant was stunned. This person looked very unfamiliar. He did not remember seeing this person in the Hou Mansion before. However, the people in the Sifang Hou Mansion were easy to talk to. After hesitating, he nodded:
"Sir, wait a moment. I will go inside to report."
Before taking a few steps, I heard a burst of cheerful laughter coming from the direction of Zizhuyuan from a distance:
"Uncle, you are here. What are you doing at the door? Come in. You are not an outsider."
How powerful Fang Yun's perception was, Liu Zhongrong felt it as soon as he arrived at the door and immediately spoke.
"call!"
There was a sound of wind, and the door of the Hou Mansion opened. Fang Yun walked out from the depths of the Hou Mansion with a burst of snow foam at his feet.
"Haha, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Mother will be very happy when she sees you. She has been waiting for this day for a long time."
Fang Yun's feet were like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he strode over.
"Haha. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Liu Zhongrong shook the bamboo hat on his body, and the flying snow immediately shook off.
"Lin'er, I've met my uncle."
A burst of loud footsteps came from behind. But Fang Lin also walked over from behind. When he walked to the door, he saw Liu Zhongrong and bowed deeply.
"Lin'er, you have grown so big!"
Liu Zhongrong looked at Fang Lin, who was extremely brave and powerful, and said with emotion. He had seen Fang Yun before in Huai'an City, but he had never seen Fang Lin. When he saw him this time, he couldn't help but beat him deeply.
Eye.
"Uncle, come in! You are not an outsider. Mother has been waiting for you for a long time."
Fang Lin said respectfully.
Liu Zhongrong smiled: "My uncle has not been to the Sifang Marquis Mansion since it was built. Yun'er, I have to trouble you to lead the way."
Not long after Mrs. Huayang married Sifang Hou, Liu Zhongrong was also kicked out of the house by Fang Yun's grandfather. After that, he never set foot in the capital, and naturally had no chance to enter Sifang Hou's mansion.
"Of course. Uncle, come with me."
At that moment, Fang Yun and Brother Fang Lin were in front, leading Liu Zhongrong all the way to the hall. When they reached the entrance of the hall, Mrs. Huayang got the news and had been waiting at the door early. When she saw Liu Zhongrong, she didn't say a word, but her eyes were clear.
Already shed tears.
Sun Zhongrong's eyes were also wet. He looked at Mrs. Huayang carefully and finally couldn't help but call out: "Sister, I have worked hard for you these years."
Mrs. Huayang's heart trembled when she heard this call. She covered her tears with her hands and said, "Brother."
The two brothers and sisters had not seen each other for decades. When they saw each other again, they couldn't help but cry. Fang Lin and Fang Yun couldn't help but have sore noses when they saw it. The other servants and slaves in Fang Mansion couldn't help but choke up when they saw it.
Lose your voice.
"Let's go. Let uncle and mother stay together. They haven't seen each other for more than twenty years, and they must have a lot to talk about."
Fang Lin patted Fang Yun on the shoulder and said.
Fang Yun understood and signaled with his eyes. The other servants and maids understood and quietly retreated. After a while, only Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong were left around the main hall.
Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong stayed in the room for a long time. From time to time, they could hear the choking sounds of the two people. Those who heard it were moved.
Night has come, and the lanterns have begun to light up. A banquet has been prepared in the hall.
Mrs. Huayang, Liu Zhongrong, Brother Fang Lin, Lu Xiaoling, Princess Fukang, Lan Daiyue, Uncle Liang, and several close maids and servants have all taken their seats. Several gilt copper plates of charcoal are rising in the room, and the flames are rising.
Warm.
All the dishes have been prepared and you can use your chopsticks immediately. However, the atmosphere is a bit tense. Especially Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong, who seem particularly nervous.
"Father, will you not come?"
Mrs. Huayang said nervously. She has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Liu Zhongrong was a big businessman in the south of the Zhou Dynasty and had experienced many storms. But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty, like a child who had made mistakes:
"Should...probably not."
Fang Yun couldn't help but said: "Mother, uncle, you don't have to worry. Grandpa's temper and the things he promised will never change."
Seeing the two of them being so nervous, Fang Yun naturally couldn't bear it and offered words of comfort.
Sure enough, after hearing what Fang Yun said, the two of them relaxed a lot.
"Yun'er, your grandpa listens to you the most. If you say so, my father should come."
Liu Zhongrong’s smile became much more confident.
However, no matter what Fang Yun said, time passed by second by second, and according to the rules, it was soon time for dinner. Rich families are very particular about meal time. Nobles like the Fang family are even more particular.
Everything is done according to etiquette.
With Liu Zhengxun's character, he would never come over after meal time.
Mrs. Huayang frowned, worried again. Seeing that the time was approaching, even Fang Yun began to feel a little unable to sit still.
"drive!--"
After just a moment's time difference, a loud shouting sound, accompanied by the sound of a horse's snorting, came from the street outside the Hou Mansion.
"Yu Yu!"
The carriage stopped outside the Marquis' Mansion, and there was a moment of silence. Everyone held their breath, fearing that this was just a passer-by.
“Ding-deng-deng!”
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A servant in green clothes with shoulders covered with snow hurriedly opened the door. His first words were:
"Madam, the old man is here!"
"boom!"
As soon as the voice fell, the whole room exploded. Mrs. Huayang stood up in a hurry, her skirt almost getting caught on the corner of the table.
"Quick! Take me there!"
Mrs. Huayang said excitedly.
Liu Zhongrong, Fang Yun, Fang Lin, Lu Xiaoling, Princess Fukang... all stood up one after another. Following Mrs. Huayang, they rushed to the door of the Hou Mansion.
"Wow!"
The gate opened, and an old servant's carriage stopped at the gate of the Marquis Mansion. The carriage was so old that even the word "Liu" on it was mottled. The driver was a servant in simple clothes, standing beside the carriage.
When he saw Mrs. Huayang, he bowed: "Madam."
"Father, are you in the car?"
Mrs. Huayang said anxiously.
"The old lady is here."
The servant said respectfully.
"Wow!"
As if he heard the movement outside the door, the car curtain opened with a swish, and Liu Zhengxun's old face appeared at the door, looking calmly at the door. His temples were gray, showing an old look. But he still showed the look of a strict father.
smell.
Seeing her old father, Mrs. Huayang's eyes turned red and she shed tears. With a "bang" sound, she knelt down on the cold snow, lowered her head, and cried:
"Unfilial daughter, pay homage to your father!"
"The unfilial son Zhongrong, pays homage to my father!"
Liu Zhongrong also knelt on the ground with a bang, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Brothers Fang Yun and Fang Lin also knelt down:
"My grandson Fang Yun meets his grandpa!"
"My grandson Fang Lin meets his grandpa!"
Princess Fukang took Lan Daiyue's hand, and the two of them knelt down:
"Granddaughter-in-law Fukang, meet grandpa!"
"Daiyue has met grandpa!"
"Old slave Liang Fa, I have met the master!"
Uncle Liang also knelt down.
The entire front of the Hou Mansion was filled with darkness, and everyone knelt down.
The cold wind howled, blowing the old man's gray hair on his temples. To everyone's expectation, Liu Zhengxun stretched out his hand, stroked their cheeks, and said harmoniously:
"Yun'er, Rong'er, I've worked hard for you all these years..."
There was a gentle expression on the old man's face, not at all like the strict father they had imagined.
Feeling their old father's rough palms caressing their faces, the two couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears. In their impression, when they left, their father's palms were not so old and rough.
.It has been more than twenty years, and my father is really an old man.
"Father, my daughter is not working hard! All this is my daughter's fault. The unfilial daughter begs my father, Yuan Liang!"
Mrs. Huayang choked with sobs and burst into tears.
"Father! Rong'er realizes his mistake!"
Liu Zhongrong knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the snow, and tears overflowed from his eyes. After running away in anger, he originally thought he was the winner. But when he really saw his father, he realized that his father was old. In this dispute
No one is the winner. What the three people lost is time and the past that can never be recovered.
"Oh, actually, I have abandoned you a long time ago. Who said you are my children? Get up! What do you look like crying during the Chinese New Year today?"
The old man smiled and wiped away their tears and helped them up: "Get up, you all get up too!"
"Yes, Father is right. Today is the Chinese New Year."
Mrs. Huayang suppressed the excitement in her heart, wiped away her tears, covered the old man's shoulders with her shawl, and said respectfully: "Father, it's cold outside, please let the woman lead you in."
Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong held the old man's arm and walked in the door together. After taking two steps, Mrs. Huayang felt sad again and tears flowed from her eyes, but she was quickly carried away by the wind and disappeared into the air.
The group of people entered the main hall and sat down separately. The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Whether it was Mrs. Huayang, Liu Zhongrong, or the Fang brothers, they were all really happy.
Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong realized their long-cherished dreams, while Fang Yun and Fang Lin were happy to see their mother and uncle untied.
"Brother, you did a good job in this matter."
Fang Lin looked at his mother and uncle opposite and said to his brother beside him.
"Haha, don't distinguish between you and me. The mother's knot is untied and the whole family is harmonious. This is the best thing."
Fang Yun smiled.
The time was approaching and it would soon be the prescribed meal time. The hall was bustling with activity. Fang Yun glanced at Lan Daiyue, smiled, and suddenly stood up:
"Grandpa, mother, uncle..., taking advantage of today's New Year's Eve, I invited someone over. I want everyone to meet him."
