Gu Yan sat on the armchair under the window, read two letters leisurely, and looked up out of the window.
There is still lush green outside the window.
This green has gone through the wanton green of spring, summer and autumn, and is now deep and dim. It is sleeping with its eyes closed, waiting for the arrival of the next spring.
Gu Yan stood up, raised the window higher, and stretched his head to look out the window.
The garden is dark green, and there are a few rose bushes with sparse flowers blooming in the distance.
Compared with the gray and green winter in the south of the Yangtze River, he prefers the winter in the capital. The sharp cold wind sweeps away all the green, leaving only dead branches between the sky and the earth. In spring, everything is new and green.<
/p>
Gu Yan thought about the winter in the capital, and longing for her came from her heart.
I haven’t seen the prince, father and mother for nearly half a year.
Thinking of his father and mother, Gu Yan felt a little dazed.
Once upon a time, my father walked before my mother-in-law. Half a year after my father left, my mother-in-law also left.
Shi blamed him, saying that his father and mother died because of his wanton behavior, excessive worry, and stagnation of Qi.
At that time, he was in trouble both internally and externally. Shi's accusations made him blame himself and collapse. In front of his mother's coffin, he cried so much that he vomited blood. From then until now, this was the only time he felt regret and uttered the only word of regret. Gu Yan's eyes narrowed a little.
At that time, he lost his head.
That time in the past, from the very beginning when he embarked on that difficult road, his father had always been his strongest and most reliable support. Aniang told him more than once how their great-great-grandmother from Prince Rui's Mansion fought against
How fearless you are when you move the sword across the world.
My parents are worried about him, but they will definitely not be angry because of what he does. My parents know what he is doing. They have always been proud of him and have always been his strongest support.
At that time, he was in a daze. The scene where he cried bitterly in front of her coffin and the word "regret" must have made her very angry.
Gu Yan lowered his head, took off the narrow sword hanging from his gown, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
This was his great-great-grandmother's sword. It was a sacred object of their Prince Rui's Mansion. It was carried by all Prince Rui. When he went south to Zhejiang, his father gave him this sword.
Dad said that this sword is full of blood, but it is a sacred object to ward off evil spirits.
This sword is not only a holy object to ward off evil, it is also an artifact that can stabilize mountains and rivers, and can also cause landslides and earth to collapse.
Gu Yan turned slowly, looking carefully at the scabbard, which was almost exactly the same as human skin, and the extremely simple yet fitting hilt. He stretched out his hand, held the hilt tightly, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the hilt.
The killing intent surges in the sword.
He had seen the earth-shattering effect of this sword when it was unsheathed, and that single unsheathing was enough.
Gu Yan tied up the narrow sword again, put the letter back into the envelope, picked up A Niang's letter, shouted into Shigun, and ordered him to show the letter to Mrs. Pan Er.
There are two letters, one from A Niang and one from the Prince, both urging him to go home for the New Year.
It’s time to set off and go back.
Mrs. Pan’s second wife quickly replied and they went back with him to celebrate the New Year.

Wan Qing called Li Xiaonan out of the hospital and handed her the large suitcase in her hand.
Li Xiaonan didn't take the suitcase and looked Wan Qing up and down.
The joy radiating from Wan Jing’s whole body can fill the entire alley!
"Have you increased your monthly salary?" Li Xiaonan asked.
This is the happiest thing she can think of.
"What's the monthly salary increase? You're a person who only thinks about money and money!" Wan Qing said in a high-pitched voice, "We're going back to the capital! We'll leave the day after tomorrow!"
"You? Your eldest son, Shi Gun, is leaving?" Li Xiaonan felt an indescribable feeling of loss in her heart.
"Yeah!" Wan Qing handed the suitcase to Li Xiaonan again.
"This is what our prince gave you, take it quickly! I'm leaving!"
The suitcase was so big and heavy that Wan Qing couldn't stuff it into Li Xiaonan's arms, so she simply put it inside the threshold.
"Isn't it going to be the day after tomorrow? Why are you so anxious!" Li Xiaonan grabbed Wan Qing.
"I have agreed with Lao Sun that we will go back in a circle from there. I have to buy a lot of things and I don't have time to delay you any longer."
Wan Qing turned around and was grabbed by Li Xiaonan again.
"Then you, not you, I'm asking you, when will you come back?"
"Come back? This is not our home. We are here to come, not to go back!
"I don't know whether our prince will come or not. I definitely won't come!" Wan Qing shook her head firmly.
"What if your prince comes again and you don't come? Can I let you go?" Li Xiaonan still grabbed Wan Qing and didn't let go.
"I'm telling you." Wan Qing came close to Li Xiaonan and whispered: "When I was picked by the prince, my father and mother were helping me find a way to find a way. They sent me a letter a few days ago, but they didn't say anything clearly in the letter.
, but I understood immediately at a glance, the way has been found, I will definitely not be able to come over!" Wan Qing was very proud.
Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at her and said slowly: "I think, as long as your prince comes, you must come with him."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Wan Qing spat several times, "The bad ones don't work and the good ones don't work! Don't talk nonsense! Okay, I'm leaving. I won't do it again!"
Wan Qing broke away from Li Xiaonan, jumped down the steps with her skirt, and ran to the cart at the entrance of the alley.
Li Xiaonan stood with her arms akimbo, watching Wan Qing get into the cart, then turned and stepped towards the threshold.
"That noble man is leaving? Yes, it's time to go home for the New Year. What's in here? This is much prettier than the suitcase in the restaurant. It's so beautiful!" Li Yinzhu rushed to the suitcase in a few steps and bent down to take a closer look.
Holding the suitcase, he stretched out a finger and carefully touched the golden peonies on the suitcase.
"I don't know, take it in and take a look." Li Xiaonan reached out to pick up the suitcase.
"I'll come, I'll come!" Li Yinzhu grabbed the suitcase and carried it into the main room.
Such a beautiful and rich suitcase is not appropriate to carry into the kitchen!
The suitcase has three layers in total. Li Xiaonan took off the lid and found only a letter in the top layer.
Li Xiaonan picked up the first layer and then looked at the next layer.
The second floor is filled with small square snacks and is airtight.
There are two snacks in total, separated by oil paper, one side is peanut cake, and the other side is lotus paste cake.
Li Xiaonan took off the second layer. On the third layer was a pile of beautiful blank letterheads, a few pens, two ink sticks, an exquisite and small inkstone, a blue and white porcelain brush washer, and a carved nanmu armrest.
"It's so beautiful." Li Yinzhu murmured in admiration as he looked carefully at the inkstone, pen washer, etc.
This was the first time she saw such a delicate thing. It was so beautiful that she didn’t dare to touch it with her hands.
Li Xiaonan took a piece of peanut cake and put it in Sister San's hand. She took a piece of lotus paste cake and put it in her mouth, then picked up the letter.
The envelope is blank, with the coat of arms of Prince Rui's Palace stamped on the lacquer seal.
Li Xiaonan tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper.
The letter was written very casually, with no header, no signature, and only a few words.
He is going back to celebrate the New Year, and I wish her a good New Year too.
Li Xiaonan picked up the letter and admired it.
That prince's calligraphy is as beautiful as his person.
