"Is this Su Erlang? The general's son?"

“They don’t really look alike.”

Amid the chattering of the common people, Boss Li took Su Yunting through street after street and finally arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion.

The Governor's Mansion was not very big and looked similar to other newly built mansions.

If there were no plaque of "Governor's Mansion" hanging on the door, it would not even be as grand as the Hezhong Prefecture County Yamen.

However, every pedestrian and merchant passing by the gate of the governor's mansion, whether walking or riding a tricycle, would consciously slow down their movements, and those chatting loudly would also lower their voices.

"We're here." Boss Li stepped forward and knocked on the door three times. After the doorman confirmed his identity, he let Boss Li and Su Erlang in.

Su Yunting looked around the yard curiously. The Yunzhou Governor's Mansion was not even half the size of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

The ground of the yard was paved with earth and cement instead of blue bricks.

What’s more, this yard doesn’t even have a corridor, let alone a small garden!

There were two long rows of flower pots in front of the house, and the flowers in them were also in tatters.

Seeing this scene, Su Yunting's tears were about to fall.

It turned out that my mother lived such a hard life in Yunzhou!

When we were in Kyoto, there were people specially assigned to take care of the flowers and plants in my mother's yard, and they grew so beautifully!

The servant wanted to pass the message but was stopped by Su Yunting.

Su Yunting wanted to take another look at what Yunzhou, where his mother had stayed for several years, looked like!

Unfortunately, this governor's mansion is not that big, and Su Yunting can see the layout clearly after just a few steps.

Just when Su Yunting was about to push open the door of Gu Nanxi's study, suddenly, a black shadow like the wind jumped out of the study and rushed straight towards Su Yunting.

The speed of the big black shadow was so fast that Su Yunting had no time to react and was pushed heavily to the ground.

In a flash, Su Yunting was met with a pair of animal eyes glowing green, and he could even smell the stench of a wild beast at the tip of his nose.

The black shadow roared softly, and saliva kept dripping from its sharp teeth!

Su Yunting was shocked. How could there be a lynx in A Niang's house? !

"Xiaohua! Did you break the new flowerpot? Oh, how can it be said that the governor's mansion doesn't have a decent flower pot? Do you know you are wrong?"

Green Plum searched for the little flower for the whole morning but couldn't find where it had hidden.

It’s such a small place, but I can’t even find it!

After finally hearing Xiaohua's movement, Lumei rushed out from the kitchen, wanting to teach this little scoundrel who relied on his master's favor to do lawless a lesson!

"Ah!" Xiaohua growled proudly, motioning Lumei to come and see, he had caught a thief!

Lu Mei walked away while cursing, "Are you trying to scare the servants again? I'm telling you, if you hurt anyone, the medical expenses will be deducted from your food allowance!"

"Aunt Lumei!" Su Yunting originally wanted to have a good fight with this lynx, but after hearing what Aunt Lumei said, it seemed that this lynx was raised at home!

For a moment, Su Yunting didn't know how to attack the little lynx, and could only call them "Aunt Lumei" in a wronged manner.

Lumei paused. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

Lumei quickly quickened her pace, looked down, and was shocked and delighted!

Isn't the little black charcoal being held down by Xiaohua his own Jiro? !

"Erlang, why are you here?! Xiaohua, let go quickly, this is your second brother!"

ha? !

Xiaohua rubbed Su Yunting with her wet nose, then she jumped lightly from him to the ground, took graceful steps, and disappeared somewhere else!

"Oh, why didn't you tell me you were back?" Lumei hurriedly helped Su Yunting up and brushed the dust off his back.

Fortunately, the yard was covered with a layer of earth and cement, so there was not much dust.

Su Yunting felt a little aggrieved. There were already many sworn brothers competing with him for his mother, and now a lynx came!

"Aunt Lumei, who gave you this lynx?"

"It was given to us by the people of the Hao Riqin tribe. At first we thought it was a kitten, but it grew bigger and bigger until it looked like a little leopard. Only then did we realize that Xiao Hua was a lynx!"

Lu Mei took Su Yunting and Boss Li to the lobby: "I was wondering why this little flower can't meow, but can only woosh! It turns out that she is really not a raccoon!"

Gu Nanxi's clear voice could be heard clearly through the lobby door.

Su Yunting paused and his eyes gradually turned red.

Seeing that Su Yunting didn't dare to come forward, Lu Mei's eyes were red and she choked up and said, "Come in, Erlang! The master is also thinking about you. Dalang wrote a letter every month, and those letters were almost torn apart by the master. You have been gone for more than a year, and there is no news at all."

Su Yunting's heart was pounding. Even when he was taking the imperial examination, he had never been so nervous.

Su Yunting pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Aunt Lumei, please let me take some time. Don't let me lose face in front of outsiders."

Lumei gently pushed Su Yunting's back: "Where are the outsiders? The master is discussing Journey to the West with Wen Wenyu!"

Su Yunting followed the force, took a few steps forward, and with trembling hands, pushed open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the already bright lobby became even brighter.

Gu Nanxi, who was originally discussing the plot of Journey to the West, turned around and saw a tall figure blocking the door with his back to the sun.

The sunlight was too dazzling, Gu Nanxi squinted her eyes. Why did the outline of this figure look familiar?

"Mother, I'm back."

Gu Nanxi, who was originally lazily leaning on the chair, stood up suddenly when he heard the voice and walked quickly towards the door.

"Jirang? Is that Jilang?"

Gu Nanxi herself didn't even notice that her voice was so trembling.

Su Yunting knelt on his knees and walked to Gu Nanxi. He hugged Gu Nanxi's legs with both hands. At this moment, the suppressed thoughts poured out like a flood breaking through a dam.

"Mother, it's me, I'm back! I really missed you!"

Outside, after experiencing the wind and rain, the armor that he had finally put up was shattered the moment he saw A Niang!

Only when Su Yunting had completely ventured out into the world as he had always dreamed of did he truly understand what home meant.

Home is his belief that he must persevere even when facing strong winds and heavy rains on the vast ocean!

Gu Nanxi touched the top of Su Yunting's head, as if something was stuck in her throat. After a long while, she said, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back safely."

The sunlight from outside shone in, casting two long shadows on the two people.

This moment is so beautiful that no one has the heart to disturb it.
