Silent Lover

The end of the mountain road was blocked by a boulder, with straight stone walls on both sides. Chu Ling dismounted and walked to the boulder, kicking a few messy gravels on the ground. Shen Yu felt that the stones were messy from a distance, but the arrangement seemed to be somewhat regular .

There was an unforeseen vibration from behind the boulder, and the boulder several feet high actually moved by itself.

Shen Yu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. As expected of the Chu family with countless skilled craftsmen, she had countless whimsical ideas. I don't know what mechanism was arranged here, and Shen Yu was so surprised that she couldn't help admiring.

A narrow corridor appeared behind the stone gate, at most two horses passed side by side, Chu Ling walked in the front and led the team, but in the time of a cup of tea, the corridor became wider and wider, and finally opened up. .

What appeared in front of him was an empty land with scattered houses and traffic in the mulberry fields. Shen Yu originally thought that the Chu family's hermitage was one or two houses hidden in the mountains and forests, but it turned out to be bigger than a town.

Surrounded by mountains in the distance, the hermitage will be hidden in it. If it is not led by someone, it will be difficult for outsiders to find this place.

The more you go to the center, the more concentrated the houses are, and the arrangement is a bit like a palace. The rooms in the center are more spacious and grand, comparable to the mansions of wealthy people, but not as dense and rigorous as the palace. .

Along the way, people greeted and saluted Chu Ling, and Chu Ling would respond to them all in a gentle manner.

"Arrived.".

Finally, the horse team stopped in front of the "Chu Mansion", and Chu Ling jumped off the horse excitedly. .

When Jun Xuanxiao carried Shen Yu off the horse, his legs were a little stiff. .

"Thank you, Brother Dark Guard." Shen Yu raised his eyes and asked, "Brother Dark Guard, did you get bugs in your eyes? Why are they so red?"

Jun Xuanxiao turned his head bluntly, thinking that if you were more peaceful on horseback, would his eyes turn red?

"Oh, I see, Brother Anwei is eager to return to his hometown, happy, right? Brother is really a kind-hearted and righteous man."

Shen Yu tiptoed slightly and patted the shoulder of the dark guard as a sign of comfort.

'Yu'er! Chu Ling called out, "Brother, I flew pigeons to send letters home a few days ago. Grandpa must be eager to see you. Come in."

"it is good.

Shen Yu followed Chu Ling into the mansion, feeling uneasy.Seeing that he was nervous, Chu Ling turned around and shook his hand.

"Yu'er, don't be afraid. This will be your home from now on. The Chu family's direct descendants will all live in this mansion. I will introduce you to two siblings in the future. Around here, there are foreign relatives and descendants with less pure blood. , and further away, there are the followers of the Chu family and the descendants of the former courtiers, you don't need to worry about these for now, and you will gradually understand later."

Shen Yu nodded nonchalantly, and noticed that the layout of the mansion is very elegant. Entering the gate is a large garden with a pool of water in the center. Shen Yu walked through many moon cave corridors, and passed some courtyard gates. There were people in the courtyard looking around. , then giggled and waved. .

Finally, Chu Ling stopped outside the Chenxiang Courtyard, straightened her clothes, and led Shen Yu in. .

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a hunchbacked old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, occasionally pacing anxiously, looking outside, and there was a group of old and young beside him. .

"It's so late, why hasn't anyone come back yet? Ling'er said he arrived today... the old man's voice is hoarse...

Someone came to help him and comforted him: "Grandfather, don't be in a hurry. They are coming from the capital, and the carriage will go slowly. It will take half a month on the way...Here we are! We are back!".

"Grandpa! I'm back!

Chu Ling stepped forward to greet Anhao warmly, Shen Yu hid behind him and looked at him curiously, and saw the gray-haired old man at first glance, everyone stood behind him on both sides, he should be the oldest and the highest seniority up. .

"Where's Han'er? Quickly let grandpa take a look."

The eyes of the old man and all the people fell on Shen Yu, and Shen Yu was rarely watched like a monkey trick, like a light on his back. .

"Yu'er, grandpa called you. He called you by your name on the genealogy. My grandpa and your grandpa are brothers. You call me just like me... Chu Ling reminded, "Grandfather, his name is Yu'er now, he's not used to you shouting nonsense. ".

Chu Han?

Shen Yu was suddenly called another name, but she was a little uncomfortable. The name Shen Yu had already been deeply engraved in her heart. .

"Han, come here...

The old man beckoned kindly. Although Shen Yu didn't know the old man, he still passed by. .

Han'er, you have been living abroad and suffering all these years

......

The old man felt distressed for a while, rubbed Shen Yu's head, pinched his face, and muttered, his old eyes turned red and began to cry. .

"Grandfather, everyone says his name is Yu'er now." Chu Ling reminded again. .

The old man said stubbornly: "Aren't you going home now, you should change your name back, Haner, would you like it?
