Chapter 915 New Year's Eve 1
It was getting late, and a man with a hat on his head was covered with snow. It appeared outside the capital.
"For decades, I'm finally back..."
Looking at the unchanging high city wall in the capital, Sun Zhongrong, or Liu Zhongrong, has mixed feelings. Since he was expelled from his home by his father, he has not set foot in the capital for a long time.
"I didn't expect to be able to set foot in the capital in this life."
Liu Zhongrong sighed, bowed into the capital, and went in the direction of Sifang Houfu.
"Brother, please inform me. It is Liu Jiazhongrong who asked to see Mrs. Huayang.
At the gate of the Sifanghou Mansion, Liu Zhongrong knocked on the door and said to the servant who poked out his head inside.
The servant was stunned, and this man looked very face-to-face. He doesn't remember seeing this person in Hou's house before. However, the people in Sifanghou's mansion were already easy to talk. They hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Sir, wait a minute. I'll go in and give a notice.
Before taking a few steps, he heard the direction of Zizhu Garden from afar, and there was a cheerful laugh: "Uncle, you're here. What are you still doing at the door? Come in. It's not an outsider."
Fang Yun's perception was so powerful that as soon as Liu Zhongrong arrived at the door, he felt it and immediately spread the voice.
"Wow!"
As soon as the wind swung, the gate of the Hou Mansion was opened. Fang Yun's feet were wrapped in a burst of snow foam and came out of the depths of Hou's mansion.
"Haha, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Mother should be very happy to see you. She waited for this day, but she waited for a long time.
Fang Yun's feet were like flowing clouds, and he strode over.
"Hehe. I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
Liu Zhongrong shook the hat on his body, and the flying snow immediately shook down.
"Lin Er, I've seen my uncle."
A loud sound of footsteps came from the rear. But Fang Lin also came from behind. When he walked to the door, he saw Liu Zhongrong and bowed deeply.
"Lin Er, you have grown up so much!"
Liu Zhongrong looked at the tiger's back and bear's waist, and the extremely heroic Fang Lin was impressed. Fang Yun has seen it in Ancheng before, but Fang Lin has never seen it. When I saw it this time, I couldn't help but take a few deep glances.
"Ok, come in! They are not outsiders. Mother has been waiting for you early.
Fang Lingong said.
Liu Zhongrong smiled and said, "Since the completion of this Sifang Hou Mansion, my uncle has not come yet. Yun'er, I have to trouble you to lead the way.
Shortly after Mrs. Huayang married Sifanghou, Liu Zhongrong was also expelled from the house by Fang Yun's grandfather. Since then, he has not set foot in the capital, and naturally he has no chance to enter the Sifanghou Mansion.
"Of course. Uncle, come with me."
When the clouds and Fang Lin brothers below were in front, they led Liu Zhongrong all the way to the hall. Walking to the entrance of the hall, Mrs. Huayang got the news and waited at the door early. When she saw Liu Zhongrong, she didn't say a word, but tears had flowed from her eyes.
Sun Zhongrong's eyes were also moist. He looked at Mrs. Huayang carefully and finally couldn't help calling, "Sister, you have worked hard over the years."
When Lord Huayang heard this call, his heart trembled, and he covered his tears with his hands and said, "Big brother."
The two brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for decades. When they see each other again, they can't help crying. When Fang Lin and Fang Yun saw it, they couldn't help but have sour noses. When the other servants and maidservants in Fang's house saw it, they couldn't help choking.
"Let's go. Let uncle and mother stay together. They have not seen each other for more than 20 years. There must be a lot to say.
Fang Lin patted Fang Yun on the shoulder and said.
Fang Yun will be willing to indicate with his eyes. Other servants and maidservants retreated quietly one after another. After a while, there were only Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong left around the main hall.
Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong stayed in the room for a long time, and they may hear their choking voices from time to time. The person who heard it was moved.
The night has arrived, and the lantern is the first mountain. In the hall, banquets were prepared.
Mrs. Huayang, Liu Zhongrong, Fang Lin brothers, Lu Xiaoling, Princess Fukang, Lan Daiyue, Liang Bo, several close maids and servants have all sat down. There were several gold-preciing charcoal copper plates in the room, and the flames were rising and warm.
All the dishes are ready, and you can move your chopsticks right away. However, the atmosphere is a little tense. In particular, Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong are particularly nervous.
"Father, why don't you come?"
Mrs. Huayang said nervously. She has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Liu Zhongrong was a great jia in the south of the Zhou Dynasty and experienced many strong winds and waves. But at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, just like a child who did something wrong: "I should... I don't think so."
Fang Yun couldn't help saying, "Mother, uncle, don't worry. My father-in-law's temper, what he promised, will never change.
Seeing that the two of them were so nervous, Fang Yun naturally couldn't bear it and comforted them.
Sure enough, when they heard Fang Yun say this, the two relaxed a lot.
"Yun'er, your grandfather listens to you the most. You said so. My father should come.
Liu Zhongrong smiled and was much more confident.
However, no matter what Fang Yun said. Time goes by second by. According to the rules, it will soon be time for dinner. Large families pay attention to the time of meals. Nobles like the Fang family are more particular. Everything is in the right eye view.
With Liu Zhengxun's personality, he will never come back after the meal time.
Mrs. Huayang frowned and became anxious again. Seeing that time was pressing Yi, even Fang Yun began to be a little unable to sit still.
"Drive!"
It was just a moment's jet lag, a loud shout, with the sound of a steed jet, coming from the street outside the Hou Mansion.
"Luckin!"
The carriage stopped outside the Hou mansion, followed by a burst of silence. Everyone held their breath for fear that it was just a passer-by.
"Beep, thump!"
A hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A servant in blue was covered with wind and snow on his shoulders. He hurriedly pushed open the door. The first sentence was: "Madam, the old master is coming!"
"Boom!"
As soon as the sound fell, the whole room exploded. Mrs. Huayang stood up in a hurry and almost hung up on the corner of the table.
"Quick! Take me there!"
Mrs. Huayang said excitedly.
Liu Zhongrong, Fang Yun, Fang Lin, Lu Xiaoling, Princess Fukang... all stood up one after another. Following Mrs. Huayang, they scrambled to go to the gate of Houfu one after another.
"Wow!"
The gate opened an old servant's carriage and stopped at the gate of Houfu. The car is old, and even the word "Liu" has become mottled. The driver was a poorly dressed servant standing next to the carriage. Seeing Mrs. Huayang, he saluted: "Madam."
"Father, are you in the car?"
Mrs. Huayang said in a hurry.
"The old man is here."
The servant said respectfully.
"Wow!"
It seemed that he heard the movement outside the door, and the curtain opened. Liu Zhengxun's old face appeared at the door and looked at the door calmly. His temples are white, showing an old-fashioned look. But it still shows the smell of a strict father.
Seeing her old father, Mrs. Huayang's eyes turned red, and tears flowed down. He knelt on the cold snow, lowered his head and sobbed, "Unfilial daughter, see your father!"
"The unfilial son Zhong Rong, see your father!"
Liu Zhongrong also slammed on the ground and shed tears in his eyes.
"Bun! Bang!! Bang!"!
The two brothers Fang Yun and Fang Lin also knelt down: "Grandson Fang Yun pays homage to Grandpa!"
"Grandson Fang Lin paid a visit to Grandpa!"
Princess Fukang took Lan Daiyue's hand, and the two also knelt down: "Daughter-in-law Fukang, see you, grandfather!"
"Daiyue has seen her grandfather!"
"Old slave Liang Fa has met the master!"
Liang Bo also knelt down.
In front of the whole Hou house, it was dark, and everyone knelt down.
The cold wind roared, blowing the gray hair on the old man's temples. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhengxun stretched out his hand and stroked their cheeks and said in harmony, "Yun'er, Rong'er, thank you for your hard work these years..."
The old man's face showed a soft look, and he did not have the demeanor of a strict father as they imagined.
Feeling the old father's rough palm, he stroked his face. The two couldn't help but cry bitterly. In the portrait of the two, when they left, their father's palm was not so old and rough. For more than 20 years, my father is really an old man.
"Father, my daughter is not hard! It's all my daughter's fault. The unfilial daughter begged her father, Yuan Liang!"
Mrs. Huayang choked and burst into tears.
"Father! Rong'er knows it's wrong!"
Liu Zhongrong knelt on the ground, his forehead was close to the snow, and his eyes were full of tears. In this negative runaway, he thought he was the winner. But when he really saw his father, he found that his father was old. No one is the winner in this dispute. What the three of them lost is the time that can never be recovered, the past that can't be recovered.
"Alas, in fact, I've been cool for you for a long time. Who called you my children? Get up! Today is the Spring Festival. What does crying look like?
The old man wiped away their tears with a smile and helped them up: "Get up, you all get up!"
"Yes, my father is right. Today is the New Year's Day.
Mrs. Huayang suppressed the excitement in her heart, wiped away tears, covered the shawl on the old man's shoulder, and said respectfully, "Father, it's cold outside. Please let the woman take you in."
Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong held the old man's arm and walked into the door together. After two steps, Mrs. Huayang was sad again, and tears flowed from her eyes, but she was soon taken away by the wind and disappeared into the air.
The group entered the main hall and sat down separately. The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Whether it's Mrs. Huayang, Liu Zhongrong, or the brothers of the Fang family, they are really very happy.
Mrs. Huayang and Liu Zhongrong have realized their dreams for many years, while Fang Yun and Fang Lin are happy to see their mother and uncle untie their hearts.
"Brother, you did a good job on this matter."
Fang Lin looked at his mother and uncle opposite and said to his younger brother beside him.
"Ha ha, don't distinguish between you and me. The mother's heart is untied and the family is harmonious. This is the best.
Fang Yun said with a smile.
The time is approaching, and soon it will be the prescribed time to eat. The hall was lively. Fang Yun took a look, glanced at Lan Daiyue, smiled, and suddenly stood up: "Uncle, mother, uncle..." On New Year's Eve today, I invited someone to come over. Well, let's meet everyone."
