This kneeling brings excitement, guilt, longing and pain, and the soreness fills my heart.

There was gold under the man's knees, but Pei Shili knelt down willingly, with tears in his eyes.

He had been away for too long, and the emperor sent him a secret message saying that his father was fine, and he could only believe it.

Now, he could finally see it with his own eyes.

He wanted to enter, but he didn't dare.

I feel so sad, guilty, and ashamed that words cannot describe it fully.

As early as when the soldiers were standing in front of the gate of Weiwuhou Mansion, some people stopped to watch the excitement. At this time, they couldn't help but point and point.

This house has been really busy this year.

Who came from his hometown, who came from his branch, and renovated the courtyard. Now, there are still people kneeling in front of the door!

The young man who left home at the beginning has now gone through many changes. All he can see is his tense back, which makes people unable to help but guess which relative of the Pei family this is and what he wants to do here.

Pei Shili knelt on the spot, motionless as a mountain.

He was excited but at a loss. He knew that kneeling here would attract more people to watch and suspect, but for a moment, he didn't know whether to knock on the door and ask for entry, or to continue kneeling here to calm down! Or, in other words,

He tried for a long time, but could not muster the courage to knock on the door.

On the battlefield, he was indomitable!

In Yunjian City, he was not afraid of the treacherous schemes and conspiracies he faced!

But at this moment, he was afraid!

At the corner, a horse came charging forward, and a young girl in a green shirt reined in the horse. However, the horse seemed to have no control at all and rushed towards the gate of the Weiwu Hou Mansion.

The crowd screamed, and someone shouted: "Ah, the horse is frightened, get out of the way!"

The onlookers dispersed.

Such movement also alarmed Pei Shili and his soldiers.

The horse was running very fast and was already heading towards Pei Shili. If the horse was allowed to charge unobstructed, not only the people on the ground would be trampled, but also the people watching would be affected.

How could a frightened horse appear in this place at this time?

The soldiers wanted to move, but Pei Shili moved first.

He knelt on the ground and moved sideways, and then moved towards the side of the horse. He grabbed Ma Jiang with one hand and pushed hard.

The horse flicked its tail, let out a long neigh, raised its hooves high, and stood up like a human.

Pei Shili hurriedly reminded: "Little girl, hold on to the horse's mane!" I don't know whose child it is, it is still a girl. If it falls, it will be tragic and the body will be disabled. Even if it is only a slight scratch, it will be very serious for a woman.

It is said that it is also an extremely serious accident!

The girl in the green shirt chuckled, jumped down from the horse, and patted the horse's head a few times. The horse, which had been going crazy just now, docilely touched the girl's hand with its head, showing an indescribable intimacy.

.

This is not Crazy Horse!

The girl raised her face, her eyes shining like stars. She smiled with a relaxed expression: "Uncle, you are very skilled!"

The word "uncle" made Pei Shi freeze in place.

He thought about what it would be like to see his relatives, and even imagined whether the little baby knew him as his uncle. How should he introduce himself?

Unexpectedly, there was a slim girl calling him uncle with a smile.

His suspicious eyes fell on Mu Qingyu's face, and then he saw that her face was very similar to his own sister.

When he left home, this child was only two or three years old, right? He didn't remember it yet, and he couldn't even take a look at it because that bastard Mu Mingyuan wouldn't let him.

His lips trembled and he could barely form a sentence: "You, you, you are, are you Ayu?"

Mu Qingyu smiled and nodded.

"You, how did you know it was me?" There has been no news for so many years. My father must have thought he was dead, right?

Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "Can anyone else besides my uncle kneel in front of my grandpa's door?"

Pei Shizhen giggled and hurriedly searched his body. Then he pulled off a jade pendant hanging from his belt and presented it to Mu Qingyu: "Ayu, uncle is not prepared. He is not prepared for the meeting gift. This, this is yours."

Take it!"

He was so excited that he stuttered.

It's great that Ayu has grown up and has not been made timid and timid by Mu Mingyuan. She is bright, refreshing, fresh and comfortable, Tsinghua and refined, just like my sister when she was a child.

If the younger sister was not forced by her grandmother to learn those etiquette lessons, and if the younger sister disobeyed even a little bit, she would lose her temper and put a big hat of filial piety on her head, making her breathless.

My sister was burdened by the word "filial piety" and went to learn those things. In the end, she was burdened by the word "filial piety" and married that bastard! Unfortunately, at that time, he couldn't do anything. Because of the word "filial piety", he was also suppressed and couldn't hold his head up.

Mu Qingyu took it and said with a smile: "Uncle, go in first, I also have a gift for uncle!"

At this time, the closed door opened again.

Zhou Chen walked out.

He first saw Mu Qingyu and said hurriedly: "Little miss!" Then he turned his head and saw Pei Shili next to Mu Qingyu, and his eyes widened.

But his eyes were a little blurry and he couldn't see clearly.

He wiped his eyes and said uncertainly and in disbelief: "Master?"

Pei Shili said kindly: "Uncle Zhou!"

Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Master, little miss, come in quickly, the master is at home, I don't know how happy he will be! Great, great! I, I will tell the master!"

"With that said, he ignored Mu Qingyu and Pei Shizhen and ran quickly to report to Pei Ji.

Mu Qingyu also reminded: "Grandpa Zhou, please slow down!"

But Zhou Chen was smiling, as if he was more than ten years younger, and he was walking as fast as he could: "Don't worry, little lady, my old bones are still strong."

Then I went to look for someone, and I happened to meet Zhou Chen's concierge. His face turned pale. Is he really the young master? Is he really the young master?

What should he do?

He said with a mournful face: "Little miss, young master, the villain is wrong. The villain doesn't know that he is really the young master..."

Mu Qingyu said: "Uncle, some young people broke in earlier, and grandpa was injured because of it. So I strictly ordered the concierge to follow the rules when letting people go. No one can let him in easily without grandpa's permission."

I don’t know you, so don’t be offended if I offend you for a moment!”

When Pei Shili heard the words "intrusive" and "hurt", his heart became heavy again. He was not in the capital, and his father must have suffered a lot. Fortunately, Ayu was by his side. But Ayu... was forced to marry under a conspiracy and was abandoned...

...She seems to be having a bad day, too.

In the past, he failed to fulfill his responsibility as a son and uncle to protect them, but in the future, he will definitely protect his family!

He said: "No problem!" and then said: "According to the rules, what's wrong with that?"

The concierge was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young lady!"

Over there, not all the soldiers entered the mansion with them, only five of them followed Pei Shili. The other four asked the concierge to tell him where the side door where horses could be driven was, and led the horses into the mansion through the side door and placed the horses.

Mu Qingyu accompanied Pei Shili into the house.

Pei Shili looked at her with relief in his eyes. His sister's child is already so old! It's great!

He paused and asked without confidence: "Father, is he... okay?"

"It's good!" Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "A lot of things have happened in the past few years, but fortunately they are all over. When uncle comes back, our family can hold happy events!"

The words "our family" made Pei Shili's expression soften a little. He looked at Mu Qingyu: "You... are getting married?"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

She said speechlessly: "My uncle must have been rewarded by the court for his meritorious service. Now that he has returned to the capital, no matter how he plans to develop in the future, the capital here probably needs to sort out the previous relationship and treat guests or something."

!”

Pei Shi touched his nose hesitantly and felt a little happy. He was back. He would prepare more dowries for Ayu and send her off to get married in person!

The two of them went straight to the main courtyard where Pei Ji was. When they saw the main courtyard from a distance, the door opened and Zhou Chen helped Pei Ji out.

Pei Shili felt something, and his steps suddenly stopped. He slowly raised his head and saw his father in the distance, with a pale face, gray hair and an old look.

His lips trembled, trembled, opened and closed several times, but could not utter a single word.

Pei Ji also stared blankly, with an expression of panic and uneasiness, as well as some reluctance and helplessness. It was like a man who knew that he was having a sweet dream and didn't want to wake up from it, but knew that he would always wake up from it.

people.

Time seemed to have stopped for the father and son. Both of their eyes were red, but their steps were stuck in place.

Mu Qingyu said: "Grandpa!"

This sound seemed to wake up the dreamer and break the spell of time stasis.

Pei Shili walked a few steps quickly and knelt in front of Pei Ji again!

Pei Ji stood there, looking at his son who was kneeling in front of him. He stretched out his hand in disbelief and tentatively touched his son's shoulder. He looked cautiously, as if he was afraid that what he touched was a soap bubble, and he would burst into flames as soon as he touched it.
