Chapter 40 Returning Home from the South 3

Because the fog on the water was too heavy, the fleet anchored three miles away from the shore, waiting for the fog to dissipate. After a while, the sun came out of the clouds. It was sunny, and the fog soon dissipated. The boat boss shouted, and the six boats anchored to the shore in turn.

Zhiyuan landed first and waited quietly on the shore. The imperial concubine stepped on the river bank first, walked over respectfully, and saluted the imperial concubine.

The noble concubine looked at the person kneeling in front of her, thinking about the beautiful visions of the past, and couldn't help but wet her eyes. He reluctantly suppressed his tears and said calmly as much as possible, "Young master, please get up! We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we have all changed a lot.

Zhiyuan stood up and still lowered his head and answered respectfully, "The imperial concubine's words are serious!" I was very surprised. The noble concubine sighed and said nothing more. She took the carriage arranged by the governor of Zhenjiang and left.

Waiting for a group of people to escort the imperial concubine away, only the people of the Yan family were left. Zhiyuan solemnly saluted his sister. Hui Niang walked over and picked up her younger brother. Six years later, the sister and brother met again. Both of them cried excitedly, and Qiaoyu, who stood aside, also accompanied them to tears.

The girl beside her sister cried like a tearful person, guessing that she must be Qiaoyu who had never been able to meet. He persuaded his sister to stop crying, squatted down, looked at Qiaoyu lovingly and asked, "Are you my niece Qiaoyu?"

Qiaoyu also stopped crying and solemnly saluted Zhiyuan, "Qiaoyu pays homage to her uncle!"

Zhiyuan picked up Qiaoyu emotionally and said solemnly to everyone around him, "Today, my sister and Qiaoyu are from my Yan family." Then he turned his head and whispered to his sister, "If it hadn't been for my sister, how could I have a younger brother today!" My younger brother will treat my sister and Qiaoyu well!"

Zhiyuan carried Qiaoyu into the carriage and helped his sister into the carriage. I rode my horse in front of me. The caravan followed the caravan and entered Zhenjiang Mansion.

The carriage took Hui Niang, Qiao Yu and Xue Zhu straight back to his home. Zhiyuan led the caravan to the head number. After explaining some things to the old money, he rushed home in a hurry.

Sister-in-law Wan'er, Zhiyuan's son Hao Xuan, and daughter You Lin have already received a letter and are waiting at the gate. Seeing that the carriage stopped, Haoxuan and You Lin ran over happily. Xuezhu got out of the carriage first, then helped Hui Niang down, and finally Qiaoyu.

Wan'er was pregnant. She held a heavy body and wanted to salute Hui Niang, and was held by Hui Niang. Sister-in-law, don't salute! You are pregnant, so be more careful.

Wan'er smiled and said affectionately, "Sister, you have worked hard all the way! Just go home. Let's go in and talk!"

Haoxuan looked at Qiaoyu curiously and asked with a smile, "Are you my cousin Qiaoyu?"

"Yes!" Qiaoyu also asked curiously. Who are you?"

"I'm Haoxuan, your cousin."

"I'm Youlin, your cousin."

"Oh! Got it."

Haoxuan came forward and took Qiaoyu's hand, and then took Youlin's hand. The three children jumped into the door.

On the second day after returning home, I got up early in the morning and had breakfast. Hui Niang took Qiaoyu and went to Qingshui'an in a sedan chair. It was Pingyu who came to open the door, now Cihui Shitai. Master Huici was so shocked that he didn't expect that Hui Niang would come suddenly. It's sad to meet an old friend.

Hui Niang took Pingyu's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "Pingyu, what happened when we were young seems to be yesterday. I never dreamed that we would become like this.

Ci Huishi said, "Amitabha! Hui Niang, this is your and my destiny. You can't blame others. Now we are still safe and healthy, which is very lucky. Don't blame the world and feel sorry for yourself!"

"Pingyu, I brought Yuer here today. I want to ask you to accept her as a lay disciple. I don't know if you can agree?" With that, Hui Niang held Qiaoyu.

Qiaoyu knelt on her knees obediently and put her hands together to kowtow to Master Huici. Qiaoyu, see you, master!"

The teacher was too excited to help Qiaoyu, "Yuer, get up quickly! Poor Ni has accepted your apprentice!" With that, he took off the Bodhi bracelet on his wrist and put it on Qiaoyu's wrist.

"This bracelet was the abbot of the Anli when your mother and I came to Anli for a visit. Each of us has a string. I've been wearing this string all the time. I'll give it to you today as a gift for the master's meeting!"

Hearing this, Hui Niang subconsciously touched her empty left wrist, and her string was given to the marquis. I don't know where the marquis is now?

Since then, Hui Niang will go to Qingshui Temple to visit Pingyu on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Qiaoyu would go to the master with her mother every time, and then stay alone with the master for three or two days, focusing on the scriptures. Although Zhiyuan knew about this, he silently acquiesced to Hui Niang's behavior because of the pain in his heart.
