When we entered the city gate, it was already dark, but we relied on General Zhenguo to greet them in advance, so we could pass smoothly. General Zhenguo was careful and arranged for people to wait for them at the city gate, and when they arrived, he directly led them to Maoguo.
Go to the palace.
There was a curfew at night, and the sound of this group of cars and horses walking on the road was particularly clear. Shu Yao felt that there was no pain in any part of her body, and she endured it all the way. When she opened the curtain and looked outside, she saw that the shops on both sides of the road had long been closed.
, drowsily, looking into the distance, the roofs were covered with snow, and there were dim lights. I sighed in my heart, on such a night, some families are happy and some are sad.
It was already dark, and we finally arrived at Maoguo Duke's Mansion.
The boy who led them came and knocked on the door. Li Cunyi jumped off his horse and stood in front of the door waiting. Shu Yao opened the curtain and looked out, and saw that the lintel of Maoguo Duke's mansion had been hung with white curtains, and the stone walls on both sides of the door were covered with white curtains.
A white silk tie was tied around the lion's neck.
After waiting for a while, the side door opened a small crack, and a head popped out. He said a few words to the boy who knocked on the door, pointed to one side, and closed the door again.
The boy cursed a few times angrily, then hurriedly ran over to Li Cunyi and said:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's the villain's negligence. I shouldn't have led the adults to this door. Let's go further. There is another door in front of us. If we go in from there, it will be closest to our aunt's yard."
This young man was trying to be cunning. Even though he was sent by the general, he followed them in calling Shu Ya grandma. Even so, Li Cunyi had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. Even if Shu Ya married a duke.
They were the concubines of the house, but they were serious relatives, so why did they have to go through the side door and the corner door? But even if he was angry, at this time, it was hindering this level of relationship, so Li Cunyi kept silent, remained silent and did not speak, then turned to the cross
Got on the horse.
The boy hunched over, said a few good words, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
Shu Yao felt a little cold in her heart. From the treatment they received when they entered the house, it was clear that her sister was in such a bad situation.
After walking for a while, I saw another gate. It was much smaller than the previous door, and it was also covered with white curtains. This time the boy knocked on the door, and the man inside said a few words and then removed the threshold.
, they entered the mansion smoothly.
After walking forward for a while, the carriage stopped and someone outside the carriage said:
"Second Master, Second Miss, you have finally arrived!"
The voice was cordial and eager. It sounded like the person who married Shu Ya. Liu's mother and Qiu Shuang hurriedly opened the curtain, opened the car door, jumped out, and helped Shu Yao out of the car. They saw a woman looking towards them.
Li Cunyi, who got off his horse and followed the carriage, finished his salute, then came forward and leaned over to salute her.
It was dark and there were few white lanterns hanging around. Shu Yao looked carefully and recognized that this was Mother Xu, the wet nurse in front of her sister. She hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mother Xu up.
Mother Xu's face was filled with sadness and her face was pale. When she saw Shu Yao, tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Cunyi looked at it and said:
"Moduo said, go see Ya'er first."
Another maid came out from inside, carrying a lantern, and led them inside. Xu's mother fell behind, quietly holding Shu Yao's hand, and said in a low voice as she walked inside:
"Second young lady, I'm so eager... I hope you are hoping for something. I hate the weather, it's snowing all the time! You guys have worked hard all the way... It's just my uncle, the eldest lady, hey..."
Speaking of the latter part, her words were somewhat incoherent, and her voice was choked with sobs. Shu Yao shook her hand back, feeling even more eager to see her sister, and quickened her pace.
The further you go in, the more white curtains are hung inside. At the end, it is a completely white world. Li Shuya lives in the main room of this courtyard. On such a cold day, the door and windows of the room are wide open.
, the breeze blowing through the hall made the white curtains in the room sway, and a few white lanterns that were not very bright were also swaying in the wind. Although there were many people standing in the corridor, at a glance, there were actually
I feel very ghostly.
Shu Yao's tears welled up. She whispered about her sister softly, and her heart ached. What happened to her sister? How could she live in such a place! Regardless of etiquette, she passed Li Cunyi and ran towards the house.
"Second Miss!" someone shouted from behind. He hurriedly saluted Li Cunyi and followed him in.
