After a turmoil, although Qiqi still wanted to continue to play outside, she heard the news and rushed to hug so many Yulinwei, and she couldn't take so many people with her everywhere, so this kind of personal protection made her lose interest and decided to return to the palace immediately.
Hu Xiaotian didn't go back with her, and quietly asked Qiqi for help, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, he finally came out, and he had to go to his father and mother to kowtow and pay a New Year's greeting.
This is also human nature.
Qiqi, who has always been rude and willful, behaved reasonably in this matter, agreed to Hu Xiaotian's request, and did not force him to return to the palace with him, which was regarded as giving Hu Xiaotian a big favor.
To say that Hu Xiaotian's performance at the critical moment just now still moved her a little, she blocked the gang of people called Huazi alone, and kept the chance of escape to herself, don't look at Hu Xiaotian's usual hippie smile is not in shape, but at the critical moment, she really has some courage.
After Hu Xiaotian and Qiqi broke up, they went to Shuijinger Hutong alone.
The last time I came late at night, I followed Ji Feihua, and today I can finally come to visit the New Year on the first day of the new year.
Since relieving the emperor's illness, his status in the palace is undoubtedly getting higher and higher, if he can really go on like this, maybe he can become a unique figure like Ji Feihua in the future, every time he thinks of this, Hu Xiaotian is really a little leisurely.
When I came to the door of my house, I saw that the door was open, and a Spring Festival couplet was posted on the door, which read: The New Year is the same as the will of the people, and the happy event is the same as the old spring.
Ordinary couplet, Hu Xiaotian stopped in front of the door to take a look, and quietly observed the surrounding movements, thinking that the current situation of the Hu family is also bleak, and his parents have to live here, and they have to worry about being watched at all times.
Hu Xiaotian walked into the courtyard and said loudly: "Dad, the mother and child are back to greet you for the New Year."
Hu Xiaotian's voice just fell. saw her mother Xu Fengyi come out of the room, and said with tears in her eyes: "Son, mother, don't you heard it wrong, you are here, you are really back." ” Hu Xiaotian ignored the remnants of the snow in the courtyard, and knelt on the ground with a plop, and said excitedly: "Niang Xiaotian is back, I'm here to greet you and my father" He kowtowed three times in a row.
Xu Fengyi jumped up and hugged him.
Tears also kept staying: "Son, hurry up, hurry up." ” The mother and son supported each other and stood up, Hu Xiaotian realized that there was only one mother in the family, but the father was not at home, his heart sank, thinking that something had happened, and said in a low voice: "Mother, where is my father?"
Xu Fengyi wiped away her tears and said, "I was summoned to the household department the day before yesterday.
He said he was going to help check the accounts, but he hasn't come back until now. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Mother, you are here alone" Xu Fengyi said: "It's not a person, Da Zhuang just came, and I'm going to buy firecrackers now, saying that I'm waiting for your father to come back and put it, so it's a festive picture." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Da Zhuang finally has some conscience. ” The two came to the room, although the room was simple.
But the brazier burned very warm, and there were a lot of New Year's goods on the table.
It was all sent secretly by Hu Xiaotian to Xiao Zhuozi when he went out to buy.
Xu Fengyi said: "Son, can you stay a little longer today and wait for your father to come back, and our family can have a reunion dinner." ” Looking at his mother's expectant expression, Hu Xiaotian couldn't bear to refuse, held her hand and said, "Mother, don't worry."
The child came to accompany his father and mother to have a reunion dinner. ” Xu Fengyi said: "I'm going to cook, maybe your father will come back later." ” Hu Xiaotian wasn't sure when his father would come back, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, it had been three days since his father went to the household department, why hadn't he come back yet, wouldn't he have encountered any trouble, and he needed to find someone to inquire later.
He smiled and said, "Mother."
Don't worry, let's talk and wait for Dad to come back. ” Xu Fengyi nodded, grabbed Hu Xiaotian's hand and didn't let go, looked at her son carefully, her eyes were a little red and said: "My mother has always been competitive in the first half of her life, but in the end, I found that what is glorious and rich, what is outstanding is a floating cloud, and there is nothing in this world that can compare to being together as a family."
"If people don't lose it, how can they know the preciousness of what they have, Xu Fengyi couldn't help but sigh when she recalled the past, happiness was so short for their Hu family, his son was stupid and stupid for sixteen years, and it was not easy to wake up, but the Hu family suffered such a catastrophe.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mother, one day, the child will get ahead and let you and your father live a good life." ” Xu Fengyi said with a gentle smile: "Mother has nothing else to ask for, just ask for our family of three to be able to see each other at any time." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, found that his mother's sideburns had a few more gray hairs, reached out to help her pull them out, brushed away the hair, but found that there were more gray hairs hidden inside, during this time, the old lady who had always been pampered suffered a lot of hard torture, and her heart was sour, and she pursed her lips.
Xu Fengyi saw from her son's expression why he was bitter, and said with a smile: "Everyone gets old one day, and my mother's greatest wish is to see you regain your freedom in your lifetime."
A simple and plain sentence moved Hu Xiaotian to tears, maternal love is selfless, after he came to this era, he did experience a long period of confusion in his heart, he thought that Hu Buwei, Xu Fengyi and his wife would not have that kind of inseparable family affection, and even once had the desire to escape from the Hu family, but after the storm came, he found that there has always been blood thicker than water in his heart.
His parents' love for him may have been integrated into his blood bit by bit since he was a child, and this kind of moisturizing and silent family love is precious and the most difficult to part.
If it weren't for this feeling, he wouldn't have ventured to return to Kangdu, and in fact, he never regretted his original choice.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mother, there will definitely be freedom, the emperor is very good to me now, I believe that it won't be long before he will pardon our Hu family, and we can live a free life."
In fact, he didn't even believe in himself, once a son of heaven and a courtier, my father was the favored minister of the emperor, and he belonged to a group of people who were resolutely defeated, and it was difficult to climb to the sky if he wanted to turn over and rehabilitate.
Although Xu Fengyi didn't believe that this day might come, she couldn't bear to destroy the beautiful vision in her son's heart, so she nodded with a smile and said: "If there is such a day, let's go to Jinling to have a look, I promised your grandma, I originally said that I would take you back during the Spring Festival this year, it seems that I can only break my promise to her old man." ” Xu Fengyi's maiden family is also a big family in Jinling, the Hu family's turmoil on the Xu family in Jinling is not very important, the emperor is extrajudicial and does not hold the Xu family responsible, but since the Hu family is in trouble, the Xu family has cut off contact with the Hu family, this matter is also a last resort, the situation is pressing, if you don't draw a clear line, you will inevitably be implicated.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Has my grandma ever contacted you" After asking, he realized that his words were a bit redundant, and now that the Hu family is in trouble, all the former relatives and friends are afraid of being affected by them, and they are scrambling to cut off relations with them one by one, lest they avoid it, how can they take the initiative to contact them Xu Fengyi shook her head and said, "Xiaotian, if you have the opportunity to see your grandma in the future, you must not blame her for being ruthless, your grandma is the most respected one in my mother's life." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Xu Fengyi said with sentimentality: "Forty years ago, your grandfather abandoned his wife and children for a woman, and threw a group of our orphans and widows in Jinling City, ignoring them.
If it weren't for your grandma who picked up the burden of this family, there would be no future development of the Xu family, our four brothers and sisters, I am the most willful and the most ignorant, I have never helped the Xu family in any way, but it has brought so much trouble to the Xu family, I think of me as a daughter is really unfilial. ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Mother, then cheer up, and when you have the opportunity to take your grandmother over in the future, serve her well, be filial to her, and let her enjoy her old age in peace." ” Xu Fengyi sighed gloomily and said, "I don't want to, but I don't know if there will be a chance in the future." ” "There will definitely be a chance," Hu Xiaotian swore solemnly.
At this time, Liang Dazhuang's voice came from outside the door: "Madame, Master is back" The mother and son were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly welcomed them out.
Seeing Hu Buwei wearing a gray cotton robe accompanied by Liang Dazhuang, although Hu Buwei fantasized that his son could come back to get together, he knew that his son was in the palace, and he couldn't help himself, and he was very excited to see his wish come true, and nodded vigorously and said: "Tian'er is back" Hu Xiaotian rushed up and kowtowed, Hu Buwei laughed for stroking his beard, he was sincerely happy, when he was sorting out the accounts in the household department in the past two days, he also heard that his son showed his might in the palace and relieved the emperor's pain.
The expression of affection between father and son does not need to cry and tears, a look, a few laughs have understood each other, Hu Buwei pulled his son up from the ground.
Liang Dazhuang hurriedly knelt down: "Da Zhuang kowtow to the young master" Hu Xiaotian has no silver in his pocket today, or Hu Buwei gave him a red envelope, this year's red envelope is naturally incomparable with previous years, but no matter how much, it is also a heart.
Xu Fengyi went to the kitchen to cook, Liang Dazhuang called hot water, Hu Buwei washed his face first, took the towel handed by Hu Xiaotian, wiped his face and said: "In the past two days, the household department has called me over to clean up the accounts, and I am so busy that I am in the dark, and I have some free time this morning. ” "Lord Xu" Hu Xiaotian muttered a sentence and said in a low voice: "Mo is not that Xu Zhengying" Hu Buwei smiled indifferently: "Exactly" The outdated phoenix is not as good as a chicken, thinking that Hu Buwei was the head of the household department, Xu Zhengying was just a household servant under him, and now Hu Buwei has become a guilty person, but Xu Zhengying survived this turmoil and still lives in his original position, Hu Buwei obeyed Xu Zhengying's orders.
