On March [-]rd, before and after the Shangsi Festival, and on the eve of Taihu Lake Gathering, because of the incident between Huashi and Xiao in Wuxi, Xiao Qinzhi wrote three poems in a row, arguing in court, and his image of defying power was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He never wanted to become famous in Jiangzuo again, and no one knew him, no one knew him.

A handsome young man, full of vigor and high spirits. He first came to a wealthy family in Wudi. He was happy and fearless. He groaned for his sister and recited a famous poem: "At thirty he meets Hexi, and forty he meets east. Make you vomit blood and faint.

At the time of the criminal court, the righteous young man, calm and calm, recited poems in the noisy market: "Generously passed Wu City, and calmly became a prisoner of Chu. With a sword, he made a quick move and lived up to the boy's head." It caused a sensation in the city, and the people cheered for him Its pity.

He died generously and was sent to the county prison. The young man was injured in the face, weeping blood and reciting a poem: "Hiding dirt and storing turbid water, draining the dye and making it sharp. Indifferent to the flowers in February, and the fire and fat in July. The scorching sun should laugh at me and swear that it will never stop falling." "Tears" uses the lotus flower to express one's will, indicating that although one is in the dark, one still has the will to go to the light.

In any era, noble elegance and sad sadness are favored by the people of the time. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the two were infinitely magnified. The handsome face, noble temperament, and outstanding talent, Xiao Qin's collection of the three in the All in one, this is noble elegance.

Fortunately, the final outcome is beautiful, justice will surely defeat evil, and the common people suddenly believe that there is justice in this world, and believe that good people will eventually be rewarded.

As everyone knows, behind justice is full of traps and designs, Xiao Qinzhi's painstaking planning and self-harming helplessness. Therefore, absolute justice does not exist in this era, and the essence of justice is power and power.

On March [-]th, there are still two days before Taihu Lake Gathering. Although the news of Xiao Qinzhi's illness spread, many people are still looking forward to it. instrument.

The powerless and humble young man defeated the despicable wealthy family and succeeded in counterattacking, which naturally poked the hearts of many people.

However, Xiao's fleet quietly left Fenglindu in the early morning and set off for Wujin. The scenery is too dazzling, making other talents dark and dusty.

On the evening of March [-]th, at Xijin Ferry in Wujin County, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the noisy ferry.

The water is long and dazzling, and the wild wind comes from the birch leaves. Straight and tall birch forests are stationed on the east and west sides of the ferry, gradually covering the setting sun in the west. The blue triangular oval birch leaves welcome the evening wind. The exhibitors made a "crash" sound, blowing the horn of the night.

The water vapor evaporates and falls, blown by the wind, and it is a bit cold. The smooth road leading to the county town from Xijin Ferry is full of people returning home at sunset, but there are still a few people standing under the birch forest on the east side, looking forward to returning to the south. , but saw that the sky in the south was dark, dusk was gradually rising, and the chaffinches from all over the world returned to their nests in the birch forest, but Mother Xiao couldn't wait for the pair of children returning to the south.

The wind seemed to be getting stronger. Mother Xiao stared at the south in a daze, her eyes were a little dry, and she coughed a few times. Aunt Hua supported Mother Xiao, unable to bear the cold wind, and comforted her:

"Madam, it's getting dark, go back first, maybe you should come back tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am, I have asked about the boat from Wuxi, and I know Xiao Lang's name. Mr. Diao Xiaolang from Jingkou is all in Wuxi, so how can he watch Xiao Lang being bullied? Fahrenheit is bigger than Diao Xiaolang. Shi, besides, the patriarch has been gone for three days, so nothing will happen, just rest assured." Mangu's father, Mancang, is honest and honest, and after thinking for a long time, he will be able to say something nice .

Hua Gu continued: "Ma'am, you should go back first, don't wait for Xiao Lang and Da Niangzi to come back, you will fall ill first."

Xiao's mother coughed a few more times, and finally took a few glances. The river in the south was blurred. She knew that she might not be able to wait for today, so she turned around slowly and whispered: "Go back, go back."

Xiao's mother understood in her heart that her son had been in Wuxi for a few days, and it was fine if he didn't come back. The patriarch rushed to Wuxi again, and something must have happened. Xiao's mother has trouble sleeping and eating.

Although there have been rumors that the son has many people to help him, he should be fine, but as long as he doesn't come back for a day, Mother Xiao's heart will not be at peace.

It's okay to come back.

The wind is blowing, the coolness is blowing, the grass is green and the green is far away, the wind is blowing and the sound of frogs in the rice fields is low, Hua Gu helps Xiao's mother to walk in the front, after the warehouse is full, Manjing falls at the end, thinking, and looking to the south again.

Manjing thought she had read it wrong, she rubbed her eyes, and saw the flag of a big ship flying high in the confusion in the south, after confirming that it was correct, Manjing pointed to the south and shouted excitedly: "Madam, Madam , it’s our family’s boat, it’s back.”

Mother Xiao stopped when she heard the sound, and fixed her eyes for a few breaths. Just now, from the blurred eyes, she vaguely saw two large ships, one in front and the other behind, heading towards Xijin Ferry. The evening wind was blowing, the birch forest was ringing, and the sunset The child should go home, Xiao's mother looked forward to it, and cried with joy: "I'm finally back, it's good to go home."

"I'll ask someone to bring a cart." Mancang excitedly said, barefoot, ran eastward on the flat road to Xiao's Manor, calling for the tenants to push carts to the ferry to load.

There were boats perched in the ferry, and Xiao's boat entered the ferry behind and needed to be adjusted, but a group of people who were eager to return home had already stood in front of the boat, watching a row of torches coming towards the ferry in the distance.

Xiao's mother walked towards the ferry, saw her son was fine, her eldest daughter was there, Dan Qing hugged her lovely granddaughter, her heart filled with joy, she shouted: "Xiao Rong'er, do you know who I am?"

Xiao Rong'er said happily in a coquettish voice: "I know you, you are my mother-in-law."

Mother Xiao smiled, and asked again: "Come back now, can you go?"

Xiao Rong'er shook her little head and cheered, "I won't leave. Grandma said she won't leave in the future."

The boat slowly approached the shore, and Xiao Rong'er wanted to get off the ground and walk on her own, and rushed to Xiao's mother, shaking her legs, raising her hands, and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I want to hug, hug."

Xiao's mother smiled and picked up Xiao Rong'er, hugged her across her chest, and when she looked at the eldest daughter again, the eldest daughter was already sobbing. Xiao's mother stretched out a hand, gently wiped away the tears of the eldest daughter, and said with tears :
"Don't cry, go home with your mother, and your mother will support you for the rest of your life."

"Hey!" Xiao Yunzhi sobbed.

Xiao Rong'er was also affected by the scene where the mother and daughter met, her eyes were filled with tears, and she pursed her mouth and said, "Mother, my mother-in-law said that she would raise you forever, and my uncle on the boat also said that he would raise you forever. Why is there no one to raise Xiao Rong'er for the rest of her life?"

Everyone was amused by Xiao Rong'er, and the sad atmosphere was swept away.

Xiao Qinzhi was afraid that Xiao's mother would be tired, so he took over Xiao Rong'er, and he had recovered a lot in the past two days, so he simply put Xiao Rong'er on his shoulders, led Xiao Rong'er on a big horse, and said:
"Uncle also raised little Rong'er for a lifetime."

Tonight's West Building, because there were a few more people, was as lively as New Year's Eve. Xiao Yunzhi took Xiao Rong'er to stroll here and there, and Mu Jin stared closely.

The "Lanfang Room" couldn't hold a thousand volumes of books, and the rest were placed in Xiao Qinzhi's study "Ye San Room", Zhou Lie and Man Gu were sorting out and taking care of them, and Xiao Qinzhi was called to the east by the patriarch. They had dinner upstairs, while Xiao Yunzhi had some sympathetic words with his long-lost mother.

In the downstairs kitchen, Huagu, Manjing and the cook are busy preparing a sumptuous dinner. The delicacies stored in the past few days will be carefully cooked and presented on the food table one by one.

This night, spring grass grows by the lake, garden willows turn into songbirds, and the west building is full of laughter and joy.
