It was said that Wu Hongwen and Xiao Cheng led the children in. Cheng Jili and Zhang had already heard from him. Zhang led Liu out of the second door, but Cheng Jili sat in the main hall and waited. Everyone came in and kowtowed and bowed. There were many people in the family. When they learned that they were back, everyone at home gathered in the hall. When the Wu family came, they turned to recognize their relatives in a daze.

Among the big group, only two of them are the most outstanding. One is Wu Hongwen. When Wu Hongwen married Dacheng before, he was the Yue family's family's family, and he was not allowed to enter. Now he has been promoted to Beijing and then came to Yue's family. He can be called proud and avenged his previous shame. Only the people around him are not the same as before. He can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Another one is Wu Xin'an. She was born like Da Cheng. The people in the hall met Da Cheng. Now when they see Wu Xinan again, they all look sarcastic. Grandmother Zhang pulled Wu Xinan and started crying.

"My son, I've been waiting for you!"

This room carried her into her arms and cried. The rich aroma of powder pounced on Wu Xin'an's face and nose, making her feel uncomfortable. She suppressed her temper and endured it for a moment. Xiao Cheng was afraid of making her aunt angry, so she pulled her out of Zhang's arms and said with a smile.

"Mother, today the family should be happy to be reunited, why are you crying!"

Zhang wiping tears with her veil,

"This child is so much like your sister, I am happy for my mother...!"

Wu Xinan blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhang without saying a word. Cheng Jili felt sad when he saw his granddaughter who looked like his eldest daughter. After so many years, his daughter was gone, and no matter how much hatred and resentment he had, he looked at his granddaughter and thought about his daughter. How could he not get drunk? He waved her to go over here.

"Are you... the name of Xin'an?"

Wu Xinan nodded,

"Maternal grandfather, I am Xin'an!"

Cheng Jili reached out to take something out of her arms and handed it to her,

"Good boy! I'll take this for you to wear and play with!"

Wu Xin'an opened the box, but it was a jade bracelet that was moist and clear. The bracelet was made of very good materials. Even those who didn't know how to do it could tell. The bracelet that exuded a warm luster like a pool of clear water must be worth a lot of money. Everyone around him looked different when they saw it.

Before, Cheng Jili was a member of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital. This official said that he was a big man or a small man. He said that he was not very young, but his two sons were not good at it. The whole family was raised by Cheng Jili. The salaries of Daqing's officials were notoriously low. From top to bottom, they all rely on making money outside and supporting the family.

Although Cheng Jili was a big house and had some industries after splitting up his family in his early years, he had many children and grandchildren. Although he had the joy of family life, the money for supporting the family was also quite expensive. They were really rare to see such good things on weekdays. Today, when Cheng Jili saw Wu Xinan, he took them out and gave them to him. They couldn't help but be jealous.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiadao's wife Mo curled her lips, but touched her sister-in-law Sun next to her with her elbow, and said quietly,

"When did the old man have such a good thing? Why have we never seen it before?"

Sun thought about Xiao Cheng's kindness to his younger son, and in the letter, the younger son praised Wu Xin'an's eldest cousin again and again. She changed her mean littleness in the past and replied,

"This is the daughter born by the eldest sister, so it is naturally different from others!"

Seeing this, Mo glanced at her strangely and said in his heart,

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law? If you usually have any good things that fall into her eyes, you can't even pick them out. How come you have sex this time!"

Wu Xinan was not happy or sad when she received that thing. She had seen the world outside over the years and had seen a lot of good things. And what was the thing led by the Japanese pirates was not better than this thing? She accepted the things with a generous gift. Her grandmother Zhang looked at it and she burst into tears.

"She is really exactly the same as her mother!"

Everyone advised him again, and the lower-ranking man came to report that the food was ready. Cheng Jili got up and took everyone to the flower hall for food. He also specially pulled Wu Hongwen to sit down next to him. On the other side, Zhang pulled Wu Xinan tightly and let her sit next to her.

Cheng Jili asked about Wu Hongwen's affairs in Hangzhou and Nanjing. When he heard that Wu Hongwen was very familiar with the second son in the Duke of Wei's mansion, he was even more happy. He picked up food and persuaded him to drink. His attitude was very amiable, which made his two sons very jealous.

"This old man calls us all over the world. Now that Wu, the surname of Wu, has returned to Beijing to become an official, he is so attentive. If he had known this day, why would he have been there in the past!"

If I had known today, my elder sister would not have died!

Zhang also asked Wu Xinan about her daily life. She heard that she was practicing boxing and frowned. When she heard that she was studying, she nodded and said,

"Girl, it's just that I'm reading and embroidering to do some elegant things!"

Wu Xinan glanced at Xiao Cheng on the side and said in his heart,

"I know where this contempt for the warrior comes from!"

Just smiled and didn't say anything at the moment.

Wu Xinan sat on the table and saw a family talking and eating warmly, but she threw the past away from the sky. She had long forgotten her mother who died early. A sense of sadness suddenly arose in her heart, for her mother who died early in this life, and for her mother who died early in the past life. This person left and was cold. Even her blood and flesh would forget you after a long time!

But I couldn't swallow it anymore.

She remembered Wang Daniu, who was buried in the woods. Is the family now sitting in the same place for dinner?

I’m afraid no one remembers Wang Daniu, who got up early and went to bed late to earn money for them!

Her corpse is probably corrupt, or she has been digged out and eaten by wild beasts!

After everyone was just having food, the men turned to the main hall to speak, but Zhang pulled Wu Xin'an to say to everyone.

"Men are just talking about boring business in the same place, and we talk about our gossip!"

So he led everyone to the back garden. This Cheng Mansion was the ancestral property left in the early years. Most of the houses were inherited, but they occupied a large area. The back garden was also very beautiful. Zhang took Wu Xin'an to visit the garden and pointed to the buildings everywhere to tell her where this place was and who lived there. Wu Xin'an looked at it one by one and suddenly asked,

"Grandma, where is my mother living at home?"

Zhang was stunned and looked at Xiao Cheng, but Wu Xinan stared at her and said,

"Grandma, granddaughter is talking about my biological mother. Is my biological mother still there?"

Zhang was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it. Instead, Mo, who was standing beside him, answered,

"An An, the boudoir where the eldest sister lived in front was always kept. Later, your fourth brother got married and changed to a new house. However, the furniture and everything inside was still kept, in the yard at the back..."

Wu Xin An Road,

"Then please ask my second aunt to ask a girl to take me over and take a look!"

Mo glanced at his mother-in-law and saw that Zhang had not spoken, he replied,

"Call me, the girl beside me, you go!"

After saying that, he called Wu Xinan, the close-fitting girl.

In fact, there was not much left in Dacheng's things. She didn't bring much stuff away from home. The furniture in the boudoir was still there, but the valuable things were gone long ago.

When Wu Xinan went over to look, she saw the dusty furniture in the remote courtyard. She reached out to caress her, revealing the mottled paint surface on her head. In a corner of the dressing table, someone carved a small word "Yu" with a knife.

Wu Xin'an's biological mother's name is Cheng Yuhui, but her nickname is Qingqing. Looking at the tender handwriting on it, you can imagine how the naughty girl who had just learned to write her name many years ago was engraved with a knife on the dressing table.

Wu Xinan reached out to stroke the dust on the bronze mirror, and saw his face that looked like a dead mother. He looked up at the messy and dark room, recalling how his mother lived in this house, how she met Wu Hongwen in her life, and how she withered at the age of flowers...

As I thought about it, tears flowed down... I cried for my mother in my previous life, for my mother in this life, and for many women with sad destiny in this world...

She stood there for a long time until the girl called softly,

"Miss Cousin, are you... okay?"

Wu Xinan came to her senses, pulled the corner of her mouth, picked up the small mirror that was upside down on the dressing table, held it in her hand and smiled,

"I think this thing is my mother's thing. I'll take it back to make a thought!"

The little girl answered,

"If you like it, you can take it away!"

Wu Xinan pulled her sleeve and wiped the long-handled small bronze mirror, carefully put it in her arms, and then walked out of the door.

The Wu family stayed in the Cheng family until dark, and then returned in a carriage. However, Xiao Cheng led the children to live in the Cheng family. Zhang originally wanted to keep Wu Xinan, but Wu Xinan didn't want to stay in the Cheng family for a moment and insisted on following Wu Hongwen back.

Sitting on the carriage, Wu Xinan played with the bronze mirror, and Wu Hongwen asked,

"Where did An'an's mirror come from?"

Wu Xinan lowered his head and replied softly,

"I originally wanted to go to see my mother's boudoir today, but... they had already been moved to the fourth cousin and everything else was moved to the back yard. I... only took this bronze mirror..."

Wu Hongwen was stunned when he heard this. The father and daughter were silent. Wu Hongwen saw the faint tears in his daughter's big eyes, and he couldn't help but feel sad. He reached out to his daughter and hugged her in his arms, sighed a long time.

"If your mother is still here, she will be happy for you when she sees you so powerful now!"

"Um!"

Wu Xinan responded softly, leaning on his father's chest, tears fell on the front of Wu Hongwen's brown long gown, moistening a little, and that little bit seemed to drip into Wu Hongwen's heart.

He tightened his daughter's shoulders, and he couldn't help but his nose was sore. He quickly turned his head and looked out the window. After dark, there was still a lot of traffic in the capital city, and people were rushing, but there was no more person under the flower tree who smiled at him with a smart smile!
