The twelfth lunar month is cold and winter, and it is the end of the new year in a blink of an eye.

For You Yan, this year seems to be no different from previous years, but it is still different.At least in previous years, You Yan would not be so hesitant and entangled in the matter of returning to You Mansion.

Because of the rules established in the previous Li Bu case, there was no crime of involvement in the You Li case, and all those involved were dealt with according to the law, but their family members and friends were not implicated.Even You Li, the culprit, did not implicate You Fu, and You Mansion looked the same as before.

But You Yan knew in his heart that the peaceful and peaceful life in the past could never go back.

Lin Ce took the fox fur from Gao Yong's hand, put it on You Yan's shoulders, hesitantly said: "Otherwise, I will go back with you?"

You Yan smiled at him: "The New Year is approaching, everything in the palace is complicated, and the memorial on your desk has not been finished yet, do you plan to watch the New Year with me and the children while approving the memorial tonight?" He gently Squeezing Lin Ce's hand that was still on his shoulder, "Besides, you probably aren't welcome in the current You Mansion." Having said that, You Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, "To be precise, I should not be welcome. It's just that it's the end of the new year, and I always have to go back and visit my parents, brothers and sisters."

Almost needless to think about it, Lin Ce also understood what the situation in Youfu would be like now, so he was particularly worried about You Yan going back this time.In the end, he just sighed softly: "Okay, I'll come back after a visit. I'll wait for you to have lunch together."

"Okay." You Yan leaned over and kissed his lips.Turning around and taking a look at Gao Yong, "Where is Yoyo?"

"The little princess has packed up and is waiting for you outside." Gao Yong responded.

You Yan nodded, looked at Lin Ce's worried look, couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I will bring my daughter back safely. I know you are worried, but since she has become My daughter from Youjia always wants to meet her grandparents."

"Of course I know, whether it's Mrs. You or Mrs. You, I won't do anything to her as a child," Lin Ce said helplessly, "I'm not worried about you."

"I have nothing to worry about," You Yan laughed and waved his hand at him, "It's getting late, I'm going first."

It has been a few months since Youyou returned to the capital from the southwest, and this is the first time she has the opportunity to leave the imperial city. Ever since she got in the carriage, she has been holding the window and looking around. Everything outside the window is extraordinarily novel to her.

You Yan has been sitting on the side, looking at her with a smile on his lips, You You played with himself for a while, then reluctantly looked away, put down the car curtain, facing You Yan's sight, stretched out his hand to pull You Yan's hand, whispered: "Daddy."

You Yan stretched out his hand to help her stretch the fox fur, and pinched his face again: "What's wrong?"

You You shook his head lightly, looked into You Yan's eyes and hesitated for a moment: "Is Daddy unhappy?"

You Yan laughed: "Daddy is going back to his home, how can he be unhappy." After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, "There is a word you will understand later, although it is not very suitable for me."

"What word?" You You was puzzled.

"The feeling of being close to the hometown is timid." After You Yan finished speaking, he shook his head lightly, "Daddy just hasn't returned home for a long time, so it's inevitable that he will feel mixed feelings."

You You nodded with a vague understanding, turned his head and opened the car curtain to look out.Looking at her, You Yan couldn't help but ask, "Does You You like the capital?"

You You nodded: "I haven't seen many things before."

You Yan chuckled: "It's still too cold now, when the spring starts and the weather warms up, Dad will take you around the city. Although the imperial city is nice, it's still too restrictive."

"Okay." You You nodded happily, she turned her head and took You Yan's hand, "I want my father to come with me."

You Yan frowned: "It depends on whether you can let your father put down the government and spare time to accompany you."

The carriage swayed, and with the chatting and laughing of the father and daughter, it slowly stopped at the gate of You Mansion.The voice of the hidden guard came in: "General, we are here."

"En." You Yan slowly opened the curtain of the car, looked up at the mansion in front of him, and couldn't help but close his eyes.The last time he left home was on the day of Youli's wedding, and he went straight to the southwest from the imperial city.In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and when I come back, things have changed.

The dark guard had already carried You You off the carriage, looked at You Yan who was fascinated by the gate of the mansion, and hesitated a little: "General, are you okay?"

You Yan came back to his senses, glanced at him, nodded slightly, and got out of the carriage: "You guys wait outside the mansion, I'll just take Yoyo in."

The hidden guard cupped his hands: "Yes."

Ruiyun knew the news of You Yan's return to the mansion in advance, and waited at the gatehouse early, when he saw You Yan got off the carriage, he immediately came forward to meet him: "My lord, you are finally back." His eyes turned from You Yan to You You, "This is the young lady, right?"

"Well," You Yan responded with a smile, "How is everything in the mansion?"

Rui Yun licked his lower lip, and forced a smile on his face: "Young Master, you're back, it's all right."

While talking, You Yan has already held You You's hand and walked into the gate of You Mansion. Compared with a few months ago, You Mansion has not changed much on the surface.It is still the same pavilions, even the servants who come and go have not changed much, but there is a sense of loneliness and bleakness for no reason. Even You You, who was more lively and comfortable before, has also noticed this different atmosphere, and grasped it tightly. You Yan's hand carefully followed behind him.

You Yan hugged You You, put her face close to her, whispered a few words in his ear, and then looked at Rui Yun: "Mother is in the room now, I will take You You to pay her respects."

Ruiyun hesitated a little on his face: "My lord, the old lady has been seriously ill since.... Although she has recuperated and her body is fine, she has locked herself in the Buddhist hall all day from that day on. He doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion, and he doesn't even want to meet the master."

"Mother kisses her... If that's the case, who will handle the many matters in the mansion?" You Yan asked with a frown.

Ruiyun replied: "Young Master's health is good and bad, and the eldest lady can't divide her energy. All the big and small things in the mansion fall on the young lady. Our new lady is quite capable. Everything, big and small, was handled in an orderly manner, and nothing went wrong."

The smile on You Yan's face faded a little, he glanced at You You who was staring at him blankly with wide eyes in his arms, and touched her face comfortingly: "If you can be obsessed with Buddhism, can you It is actually a good thing to forget the many worries in this world. In this case, I will not bother her old man today." He handed Youyou into Ruiyun's arms, "Take Youyou back to the room to rest for a while, I'm going to see my brother."

"Young master...the eldest son's place, why don't you go there?" Rui Yun hugged You You, and whispered, "You have come back with a heart, so why bother yourself?"

You Yan looked at him with a smile: "You are always well-informed, and you must have heard the rumors clearly. How come you still help me speak at this time?"

"I'm your servant, so of course I'm facing you." Rui Yun lowered his voice, "Besides, if you talk about this matter, it's a small... wrong, why didn't he think about it when he did those things? How do you feel, Young Master? It doesn’t make sense to deceive the emperor and seek rebellion, if it weren’t for you, Young Master, the You family might have already confiscated their family and exterminated their family, why would they still have the reason to blame you?”

You Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Although the words are so, the truth is also the same, but sometimes people's emotions are difficult to reason. Even I can't help doubting myself sometimes..."

"Young Master..." Rui Yun held You You with hesitation on his face, but You Yan reached out to touch You You's face, turned around and walked towards the back house.Ruiyun stared at his back for a while, couldn't help letting out a long sigh, lowered his head to look at Youyou in his arms, and coaxed softly, "Little miss, I'll take you, go back to our own yard to rest. After a while, the son will be back in a while."

You Yan walked all the way to the gate of You Junyuan alone, and then stopped.Before he came here, he learned a little bit from the imperial doctor, that although You Jun's condition has been repeated, it is not a serious problem.It's just that he can understand You Jun's body, but not his mood.The brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and he doesn't know what it will be like when they meet again. He doesn't even know whether You Jun still wants to see him.

While hesitating, footsteps came from behind. You Yan turned his head and saw a young woman in plain clothes. You Yan's eyes stayed on her face, and then fell on her slightly swollen belly. He recognized her immediately. The identity of the visitor.

Sun Yuyao was startled when she saw You Yan, and subconsciously took a step back, her eyes fell on You Yan's face similar to You Li's, and she also recognized him, and saluted: "I have seen Uncle."

No matter what, You Yan never thought that the first meeting between himself and his niece and daughter-in-law would be like this, and he felt mixed feelings for a moment, he looked away and smiled a little: "You are inconvenient, so you don't need to be so polite .”

Sun Yuyao stood up straight, raised her head slightly and glanced at the closed courtyard door: "Uncle, are you here to visit father?"

"Well," You Yan nodded, "Today's New Year's Eve, I'm going back home to say hello to my parents, and I'll stop by to see my brother and sister-in-law."

Sun Yuyao glanced at the maid behind her, who immediately stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.Sun Yuyao stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Uncle, please."

You Yan didn't say much, and entered the gate of the courtyard with Sun Yuyao one after the other.

The two entered the outer hall, and immediately someone came into the inner courtyard to say hello, Sun Yuyao led You Yan to sit down, and poured tea for him: "Uncle, forgive me, because my father and mother are not in good health recently, so I Let someone report it first, and you sit down for a while."

You Yan picked up the teacup, sniffed it gently between his nose, and then raised his head to look at Sun Yuyao: "Go and do your own work, don't pay attention to me."

"I have nothing to do at all, but today I have free time to visit my parents." Sun Yuyao smiled gently, picked up her cup of tea, and took a sip, "This is my family, uncle doesn't need to Be so kind to me."

You Yan glanced at her, but didn't know what to say, in the end he just lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Shaoqing, the servants who went in to report came back in a hurry, first glanced at You Yan, then walked to Sun Yuyao, whispered something in her ear, Sun Yuyao slightly raised his eyes, and nodded lightly. Nodding: "Understood, you go down first."

The servant retreated.Sun Yuyao put down the teacup in her hand, and smiled at You Yan: "Uncle also knows that father's health is up and down, especially now that it's very cold, and it's somewhat repetitive. Mother just asked someone to call back, saying that uncle's heart is father Got it, it's just that Uncle came today, just in time for Father to be asleep right now, so I won't invite you in."

You Yan paused while holding the teacup, and smiled softly: "That's okay, brother, it's more important to take a good rest." He put the teacup back on the table, and nodded towards Sun Yuyao, "In this case , I will go back first, and when the weather clears up some other day, I will visit my brother again."

Sun Yuyao got up and turned to You Yanfu: "On behalf of parents, Yuyao thanked uncle."

You Yan glanced at her, although the child is not too old, but it is somewhat inconvenient to move.You Yan shook his head lightly, and said slowly: "This year is the first New Year when you married into my You family. It's really unfair to you to fall on you."

Sun Yuyao laughed: "Uncle, why did you say that? According to my status and status, being able to marry into Youfu is a high prospect. Besides, uncle also knows how embarrassing my situation was when I was in my mother's house. As a widow, it seems that there is no hope in this life, but everyone in this mansion always recognizes me as a young lady, and no one will bully me, so I am content." She raised her hand to touch her belly, "As for the rest of my life, with this child here, there is still hope."

You Yan looked at her, then at her lower abdomen, and sighed softly: "In the final analysis, I caused your child to become a posthumous child before it was born."

Sun Yuyao raised her eyes and looked back at You Yan calmly: "Although Yuyao came from a humble background, she has also read poetry and books and understands some truths. Since Mr. Xianggong has taken that step, he naturally knows what price he will pay if things fail. , so everything today is his own choice, and he can't blame others. As for other things...everyone in this world has their own destiny, and this child is already many times luckier than other people to devote himself to Youjia. "

It was the first time You Yan came into contact with Sun Yuyao, and he couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, you are so open-minded. I won't worry about this child having a mother like you in the future. Shuwen has made many mistakes in his life. Choice, but being able to marry you into the family is considered my luck, but I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune for you."

"Fortunately or unfortunately, there is no way to turn back, so why bother with such meaningless issues." Sun Yuyao put her hands on her lower abdomen, "Days will always go on."

You Yan looked at her for a while, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised: "It looks like I'm not as transparent as you."

"Uncle is too famous." Sun Yuyao smiled slightly, smiling slightly.

"Although I didn't see my elder brother today, I felt much more at ease when I saw you." You Yan said, "If you need anything in the future, please let someone send a message to me."

Sun Yuyao responded: "Uncle, don't worry, but Yuyao will not see you for anything related to Youfu."

You Yan laughed, stood up, waved his hand towards Sun Yuyao, turned and walked towards the door, when Fang walked to the door, he heard Sun Yuyao's voice behind him: "Uncle."

"Huh?" You Yan turned around and looked at her.

"In fact, not seeing is not necessarily a bad thing. At this moment, even if I see it, I don't know how to deal with it." Sun Yuyao said slowly, "Time will make everything pass. Uncle, you have always been transparent. I think you can understand it better than me." .”

You Yan glanced at her in surprise, then suddenly laughed, waved his hand, and strode out the door.

Although he couldn't meet anyone he wanted to see when he returned to the mansion this time, but because of Sun Yuyao's words, You Yan felt a lot more relaxed.He came out of Youjun's courtyard and walked all the way to his own courtyard. He heard the sound of laughter coming from the garden from a distance, and couldn't help being curious. When he got closer, he found that Ruiyun was playing with Youyou in the garden. Snow.

It had only snowed the day before, and there were few people in the garden. At this time, it was still a vast expanse of whiteness.However, in this short period of effort, these two people have stepped on a lot of footprints.When You Yan approached, he found that Rui Yun was squatting on the open ground and making a snowball, and You You also had a face full of enthusiasm, grabbing a handful of snow and giving it to Rui Yun from time to time, without feeling the cold at all.

You Yan approached with light steps, stopped not far away, watched the two of them group the snowball together, and moved it to another bigger snowball beside it, and immediately a prototype of a snowball appeared .Rui Yun was very happy, wiped You You's hands, and pointed at the snowman: "Look, Miss, the snowman will be ready soon."

After a while, Youyou has become familiar with Ruiyun. Seeing the snowman was very happy, he stretched out his finger and gently nodded the snowman's head. When he turned his head and was about to talk to Ruiyun, he saw Youyan and immediately Bending the corners of his eyes, he ran over on short legs, and grabbed You Yan's hand: "Look, Dad!"

Ruiyun turned around and saw You Yan, raised his hand to touch his nose, and whispered: "Master, I was going to take the young lady back to the room, but she couldn't see that you were not very happy, so I brought her here Here it is."

You Yan has already been pulled by You You to the snowman, he stretched out his hand, drew two curved lines on the snowman's head, and then said to Ruiyun: "Find two eyes, and find a nose."

Seeing that he didn't care, Rui Yun felt relieved, pulled back the hem of the jacket for You You, turned around to look for something, and left the father and daughter squatting in the garden, facing the unformed snowman.

You Yan turned his head and rubbed You You's red face with the back of his hand: "Does You You like this snowman?"

"I like it!" You You nodded earnestly, with bright eyes, clearly very happy.

You Yan rolled his eyes: "Okay, when I go back to the palace, I'll make one in the imperial garden."

The father and daughter were talking when footsteps came from behind. You Yan thought it was Ruiyun who had come back, but when he turned around, he saw You Zhan approaching slowly with his hands behind his back. You You got up: "Yu You, say hello to grandfather."

Although You You was a little shy of strangers, he obeyed You Yansu's words, followed what he had learned in the palace before, and whispered: "Grandfather."

You Zhan nodded slightly, and looked at You Yan: "I said that no one else would come to my garden in this weather. Come here and see that it is you. It's fine to ruin my garden by yourself. Now you still have a Small ones together."

You Yan laughed when he heard the words: "It's freezing cold, the snow in your garden is more fun, besides, I don't care about it."

You Zhan glared at him: "What do you know about it?" After finishing speaking, he glanced at You You who had retreated to You Yan's legs, and changed his tone gently, "What did your father get for you? name?"

You You looked up at You Yan, saw him nodding his head, and replied, "You You."

You Zhan nodded: "It's a good meaning to be leisurely and contented." As he said, he reached out and took out a red cloth bag in his arms, and handed it to You You, "This is prepared by your grandmother. When our You family children were young Both."

You Yan was stunned for a moment, watching You You took the cloth bag and opened it under You Zhan's signal, revealing a delicate longevity lock, You You pinched the lock, and looked at You Yan somewhat at a loss, Then he said softly to You Zhan, "Thank you, grandfather."

You Yan stared at the longevity lock, then raised his eyes to You Zhan: "Father, mother kiss her...is it okay?"

"Indulging in Buddhism is also a good thing for her." You Zhan replied, "As for other things, she will always think about it slowly."

You Yan raised his head, met Shang Zhan's gaze, and after a while he suddenly bowed and bowed deeply: "It's the child's unfilial piety that made you, your mother, and your brother and sister-in-law suffer such trauma."

"In your eyes, is your old man so ignorant of human affairs?" You Zhan looked at him and said slowly, "I threw the whole Youfu to you, and I ended up idling, and I will blame you in turn. How can there be such a reason in the world? As for Shuwen, it may be his fate, whether it is your mother or brother and sister-in-law, even if the grief is unbearable for a while, there is absolutely no reason to blame you."

You Yan shook his head lightly: "Shuwen was raised by me since he was a child, and his daily diet, daily life, and speech and behavior are all influenced by me. I have the responsibility to teach him, but... if it wasn't for me If he indulges blindly, maybe he won't end up in today's end."

You Yan has never regretted anything in his life, even on that day, he gave You Li the poison with his own hands, and watched him die in front of him.But during this period of time, from time to time, he would think back to the scenes of getting along with You Li in the past ten years, and couldn't help asking himself, if he could put more focus on You Li, would he not be able to come to this place? today?

You Zhan looked at his youngest son and smiled softly: "If you talk about indulgence, is there any father like me in this world? How much energy have I spent on you when you grow up to this day? In this world, it is already difficult to live one's own life well, and who can bear the life of others. Shuwen is like you in every way, after all, he is not you, he only learned your wantonness, but did not learn your transparency."

"However, if you continue to be entangled because of this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be as comfortable as before." He said, reaching out to pat You Yan's shoulder, "Son, this day will last for a long time."

After saying that, he rubbed his cold hands and touched You You's face: "It's freezing cold, you father and daughter, go on playing, I'm going back to my room to warm myself a pot of hot wine."

You Yan laughed: "The boy won't keep you today. After a while, I'll go to Lin Jue's to ask for two jugs of good wine and bring them to you."

You Zhan pointed at him with his finger: "I'll wait for you for ten days, if you don't come, I will go to the palace to ask for it myself."

You Yan frowned, watched You Zhan walking away slowly, lowered his head to look at the longevity lock that You You was still holding in his palm, reached out to take it, and put it on her neck gently.

You You raised his hand to touch the longevity lock, and asked curiously, "Daddy, why did grandma give me this?"

"Because you are her granddaughter." You Yan looked down at the lock, with a soft light in his eyes, "She hopes that you will grow up safe and sound."
