Chapter 315: Snowy New Year's Eve Visitors

The winter snow melted and melted, and during the Spring Festival of that year, when the people were struggling to survive in tension and hardship, two letters from the north crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and overcame numerous dangers to reach their homes.

Yes, it was the house in Luoguxiang that Li Yaoguang bought.

Since Xinhai Pavilion was closed, they moved out of Xinhai Pavilion. Even Gu Qing and the others moved into the manor they bought in the suburbs after they became rich. Ji Mo was thick-skinned and used the excuse that he had nowhere to go. At the invitation of Li Yaoguang and the others, he moved into the Li family and settled down with Li Qifeng.

Xinhai Pavilion was completely closed, with only a few people left to guard and patrol. Ji Mo also took the opportunity to contact those dignitaries who had rescued him in the past and who were not bad-hearted, and promised them benefits and asked for help and care. In addition, Xinhai Pavilion had become deserted and the owner had disappeared, so the place was relatively stable for the time being and no one made any rash moves.

Rich or poor, everyone celebrates the New Year. Even if it snows heavily, there is still a festive mood. A big banquet is held at home. Li Yaoguang's family sits around in the main room, eating hot pot, various dishes, singing blessings, and raising glasses to celebrate. The only regret is that Cheng Su, the head of the family, is not there.

Yu Meixue was the elder, sitting at the head of the table. She glanced at the empty seat on her left and felt sad. Worry welled up in her mind, but it was too late to spoil the mood during the New Year. Yu Meixue could only put on a forced smile and raise her glass to offer her blessings as an elder.

Li Yaoguang saw it with her own eyes and felt pain in her heart. When her aunt finished her blessing and everyone sat down and laughed, she quickly reached out and held her aunt's hand, "Aunt, my uncle is blessed with a deep fate. He must be safe and sound. No news right now is the best news. Don't worry."

Ji Mo, who was being toasted by the three children in turn but whose heart was always on someone, naturally heard Li Yaoguang's whisper of comfort.

He felt the most sorry for Li Yaoguang's difficulties, and he didn't want the girl to be unhappy during the New Year, so he raised his glass to toast Yu Meixue.

"Yes, Auntie. A few years ago, I asked the Qijitang in the north to send someone to contact Uncle Cheng. Judging from the days, I think it won't be long before we can get news from Uncle Cheng. You don't have to worry. If Uncle Cheng knew, he would hope you would be happy."

When Yang Ge'er heard Ji Mo's words, he stopped laughing and ran up to his mother, looking up at her tenderly, "Mom, Brother Mo is right, Dad will be fine, and Yang'er is here, Yang'er has always been here, Yang'er will always be with you even when he is old, don't be afraid."

"What a childish thing to say!"

The whole family was looking at her with concern. Yu Meixue realized that she had fallen into her old habit of being sad about the passing of time. She really shouldn't have done that. She raised her head, forced back the tears, rubbed her son's head, patted her niece's hand, and raised her glass to raise a toast with everyone else.

"Come on, it's New Year's Day, don't talk or think about it, just drink, and I'll give you New Year's money after you finish drinking."

"Oh, lucky money, lucky money..."

Coo coo coo, coo coo coo...

Just as the family was laughing and playing, the unique call of pigeons was heard from the yard.

In the hall, Yaoyao, who was sitting next to Yu Meixue, was facing the hall. The little fellow who was chewing pig's trotters with a bowl in hand was the first to notice it. He pointed outside the open hall door and shouted, "Pigeons, there are pigeons! They are so fat!"

Li Yaoguang and the others all looked back and saw at a glance the fat carrier pigeon falling on the snow.

"Carrier pigeon, big brother!"

Ji Mo calmed the excited Li Yaoguang with his hand, lifted the corner of his robe and walked out. The others were looking at the carrier pigeon that had landed in the yard in surprise, especially Aunt Qiu, who was whispering to Yingchun.

"Wow, it's so cold, how can pigeons still fly?"

Yingchun was also surprised, "Could this pigeon have flown to our house by mistake?" After all, they had never raised pigeons at home. But if it wasn't, looking at the pigeon's movements, the host girl's reaction, and Doctor Ji's skillful way of catching the pigeon, it didn't seem like it! Could it be that this pigeon was smarter than a dog and could find someone on its own?
Yingchun and the others were completely unaware that the Qijitang's carrier pigeons were all specially trained and were extremely surprised. However, Ji Mo had already entered the house holding the carrier pigeon and took out all the letters from the pigeon's two legs.

He told Aunt Qiu and Yingchun to get some food for the pigeon to warm it up. Ji Mo opened the letter first, and he smiled when he saw the notes on it.

He was lucky enough to see the notes of the process, and when he saw the head looking up, Ji Mo immediately handed a letter to Yu Meixue, "Aunt, this is a letter from my uncle Cheng."

Yu Meixue was overjoyed and did not care that there were two letters sent along and why she only received one. She quickly took the letter and started reading. As she read, she could no longer hold back and started crying with her hands covering her mouth. However, she was not sad but excited and happy.

His emotions were fluctuating so much that he naturally didn't notice Ji Mo's small move of handing the other letter to Li Yaoguang.

Li Yaoguang raised an eyebrow when she saw the letter her brother and father stuffed into her hands. When her brother and father motioned for her to look, Li Yaoguang was about to open it when suddenly, someone knocked on the door from outside.

dong dong dong dong dong dong...

"Who is this?"

It is snowing heavily in the winter, and today is the day of the New Year reunion. Every household, no matter rich or poor, stays at home to celebrate the New Year with their families. This is the time for reunion dinner, so why would anyone come?
Who is it? Could it be Gu Qing and the others?

No, no, no, that wouldn't happen. They sent the New Year gifts in advance and said they would come on the first day of the new year. They wouldn't come at this time. If it wasn't them, our family didn't have many acquaintances in Kyoto, and even Grandpa Wu had left long ago. So who was the person coming?
Aunt Qiu, who took Yingchun to the kitchen to find food to feed the pigeons, peeked out from under the kitchen to ask, but no one outside answered, and the knocking on the door continued. Aunt Qiu had no choice but to give the task of feeding the pigeons to Yingchun, and ran to the door in the snow to ask again.

"Who are you outside? I won't open the door unless you tell me."

The other party seemed to be threatened. After a brief pause, he made a voice that both Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang found familiar.

"Excuse me, is this the residence of Miss Li, the niece of General Cheng Sucheng?"

This question made Ji Mo frown. Li Yaoguang was also surprised, but he nodded to Aunt Qiu who looked at him after hearing the news.

Aunt Qiu received the instructions and knew that Master Ji was powerful and not afraid of strong men coming to his house, so she quickly responded through the door, "Yes, may I ask who you are? What do you want to see my master's daughter?"

The other party was silent again, perhaps because he saw that the people inside were too cautious, he finally spoke, "Please inform Miss Li that I came from the north and was ordered to deliver a letter. Miss Li, please meet me."

As the voice fell, Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang, who had been paying attention to the movement of the gate, changed their expressions instantly.

One is shocked, the damn rival shows up again to ruin the atmosphere and flirt with his little girl;

One was surprised. Didn't my uncle's letter just arrive? How come another letter came? And it happened to be so close together?

But no matter what, he had to see the person and read the letter. Li Yaoguang signaled Aunt Qiu to open the door quickly, and he hurried out of the hall and down the stairs. Before he got close, the door opened, revealing a dusty and snow-covered person outside. Li Yaoguang was stunned.

"Ying Yi? Why is it you?"
