My mother personally opened it.

These words made my heart beat less rhythm.

This is Miaoyan’s handwriting. This letter was written by Miaoyan to me!

Although it is not the first time I have seen Miaoyan’s handwriting, nor have I heard her call her “Mother”, this is the first time I have received a letter from my daughter after we were together and we have been separated for so many years!

It was obviously just a letter, but in an instant, I felt that the cold air around me was warmed up.

I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. I hurried to the window and sat down, lit up the candlelight again, and then carefully opened the envelope and took out a neatly stacked but thin page of letter paper from it.

When I expanded it, I still saw the neat and familiar handwriting of Miaoyan:

The woman's words kneel down

My mother is blessed with great blessings. Since June, I have bid farewell to my mother in the capital, I have received five letters from my family. I am very happy to know that my mother has arrived in Sichuan safely.

Recently, the woman's body was as normal as she was not sick and she had no illness. She slept early every day and got up early. Recently, she talked to the queen and thought about her mother's self-cultivation lesson. She felt very grateful, so she often thought quietly and was diligent in her homework. "Xiao Dai", "Spring and Autumn", and "Mencius" have all studied half of the book. Although the wind and rain outside the window are getting closer and closer, people's hearts are swaying, and the woman is slightly moved by the things, and she is not involved in the current situation.

My daughter is in Beijing and has the protection of her father, and she knows to be cautious. She hopes that her mother will take care of herself and do not think about her daughter’s safety.

The woman said goodbye to her.

After reading this letter, I was stunned for a long time. I sat at the table and looked at the swaying candlelight. I couldn't recover for a moment.

This is the first letter Miaoyan wrote to me.

As a mother, I have always been by her side, accompanied her to study and read, and experienced many joys and sorrows. I originally thought that it was a piece of flesh that fell from my body. No matter how I grew up or how far I went, it was connected to my blood.

But this letter suddenly made me feel a strange feeling, as if I suddenly woke up - my daughter, she is not just my daughter.

She is Pei Miaoyan.

An independent soul and mind.

Suddenly I had this idea and felt incredible, but looking at the letter, coming from thousands of miles away, I saw a few sentences like a filial, optimistic daughter who also had her own spiritual world, I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in my heart.

After the initial joy, I lowered my head and read the letter again. After I wrote down every word and sentence in the letter, I couldn't bear to destroy this letter. After all, it was my daughter's first time writing to me, but she had to find a place to hide it.

However, when I looked down, once the joy just faded away, some other emotions slowly emerged between the lines.

My eyebrows also frowned slightly.

Miaoyan's letter actually only wrote about some of her own daily life, including her longing for me and her instructions. She did not write too much about the others, but just those few words made me see the environment around her.

As the wind and rain approach, people's hearts are shaking...

Moreover, in her letter, the word "current situation" was mentioned.

My daughter, who is only in her teens, has always been innocent and even a reckless and silly temper. But after experiencing so many people and things in the capital this time, I can feel that she has grown up a lot than before, with her own thoughts and plans. But no matter how she grows up, I didn't expect her to mention the "current situation" in her heart.

She also said in her heart that she often talked to the queen.

If she only mentioned it in her heart, then she might be worried in her life. Moreover, not only was she worried, but even the queen would unconsciously worry about the situation.

If the situation is not obvious, Chang Qing, who is the queen, will not be alarmed.

I pinched the fingertips of the letter paper and used some force.

I just knew before that some powerful and powerful gentry had begun to be encouraged to start the uprising in Shanxi, Henan and other places. After that, the Shaanxi side was also implicated by the war. Since entering Gantang Village, the news outside came very slowly. Except for Zhao Yuncheng occupying Jiangling, I have rarely heard of anything other than Xichuan. However, Xue Qian once said in front of the ancestral hall that "responsible troops from all over the country responded." I probably guessed that there were many people who might be encouraged by Pei Yuanxiu and others to raise the uprising, and there were also many places where the war was incited to start the uprising. Later, I was "robbed" by Pei Yuanxiu. With these days, Xiao Wusheng could pass on the message to me, but he would not pass on the message outside. Besides, he did not have such a source of information, so I almost had a dark eye and knew nothing about the changes outside.

Is it now that the situation outside-

I frowned and looked at the last line of words under the letter. The joy of receiving the letter was gradually covered by heavy and worry. When I raised my head again and looked at the heavy night outside the small window, my eyes and heart seemed to be stained with the dark night, and became deeper.

From that night, Pei Yuanxiu's ship began to move forward at full speed. I wonder if he was worried that there would be any twists and turns on the way, so he even canceled the docking rest.

Fortunately, the water and food on the boat were well prepared. After a few days of sleepless driving, our boat arrived in Jinling a few days later.

That morning, there was a heavy fog on the river.

It was almost impossible to see clearly from ten feet away, and there was no wind. If our boat hadn't been moving forward and through the thick fog, I would have even had the illusion that time and the river had stagnated at this moment.

Finally, our boat slowly sailed to the south shore.

The fog slowly dissipated and the sunlight shone down. I stood on the deck and finally saw the familiar scenery on the shore.

On the wide pier, flags fluttered, and you could see many people lined up there.

I am not unfamiliar with this kind of scene. I have seen it too many times and I don’t even feel anything anymore. But when I held the fence and wanted to look further away, the fog still filled the river, completely blocking my view towards the north shore.

I don’t know what’s going on in Yangzhou.

Not only can't see Yangzhou clearly, but the huge water army camp on the other side is hidden by fog, and even the outline is not visible. I frowned and looked hard for a long time, but I heard a low voice behind me, "No need to look."

I looked back and saw that it was Mr. Xie. He stood not far behind me with his hands behind his back, looking at the shore with a faint look.

I didn't say anything.

The boat slowly approached the shore, and the river water was pushed by the hull, constantly slapping the embankment, causing huge waves, and the surging flow back, causing the hull to tremble slightly. The boatmen were very agile, immediately lowered the anchor, jumped onto the desk to tie the hemp rope, and then put a wide wooden board between the hull and the embankment.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu was helped and stood up from the chair.

Since that night, we have never met again on the boat. I don’t know if he doesn’t want to see me or is afraid to see me. Even today, when he had to meet on the deck, his eyes never fell on me. At this time, he didn’t even look at me, and then he let the people around him support him and walk slowly.

Han Zitong kept following him, constantly reminding the people around him: "Be careful!"

“Lighter!”

"Don't touch his wound!"

With all his strength, everyone finally helped him to the shore.

As soon as I walked over, I saw a large group of people on the shore greeting me. Needless to say, the one who was walking in front of the crowd was Han Ruoshi who had been away for a long time.

It was said that I had been away for a long time, but it was just my feeling. In fact, we were separated for less than a year.

I think that within a year, if a person had not had his arms and legs broken, there would not have been much change.

But when I saw her, I felt like I had changed.

I remember the first time I saw her, I was in Wohu Village. Before I saw her, I heard many people say that she was weak. Even a rough and reckless man like Shen Xiaokun was concerned about this. His weak and delicate appearance really penetrated my heart.

But this time I saw her, she was not the same as before.

She is still a strong and slender figure, and she is thin. Her dress is constantly blown by the wind, but it is not like the past. It seems to be blown away at any time, but instead gives people a particularly slim feeling.

Even the thin cheeks, which were previously thin, were a little plump and a little pink.

I don’t know if it’s a healthy pink or if I blushed unconsciously after seeing Pei Yuanxiu.

Her eyes were much brighter than before. When she saw Pei Yuanxiu, she immediately came up happily. Han Zitong, who had been protecting Pei Yuanxiu, walked off the boat before, immediately let go of her hand and took a big step back.

Han Ruoshi walked to Pei Yuanxiu: "Yuanxiu, you are finally back!"

She was so excited that she couldn't speak, and subconsciously she was about to pounce on his arms, but when she saw that everyone around her was holding him, she immediately frowned and said with concern: "What's wrong with you? What's going on?"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "I was a little injured."

"Injured? How could he be injured? Who hurt you?"

As she asked, her voice became sharper and she immediately raised her eyes to look around, but what she saw first was not me, but Han Zitong, who had retreated into the crowd, was frowning between her spring willow-like eyebrows: "What's going on?"

Her words were already a little questioning tone.

Even, not polite.

She looked like she was - of course, she was originally the mistress of Jinling and Pei Yuanxiu's woman. Such questions were legitimate.

Just as Han Zitong was questioned by her, I took the last step and stepped onto the ground.

At this moment, the wind in the river became cold.
