Chapter Ninety-Nine

Someone probed his brain at the mouth of the alley in the south and was startled by a child jumping out.

"What for!" The child shouted.

The little guy glared and waved his hand.

"." He pretended to be vicious and shouted.

But when I saw that the children who didn't even dare to say a word in the past picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at them, the little girl had to scold and turn around and run away.

"Funeral?" Master Cheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have purchased a lot, the peach charms at home are also covered, and the little guys are also tied up." The butler said.

Mrs. Cheng put down the tea bowl angrily.

"Who is this curse?" She shouted, "It's not enough that the noisy family is scattered, and you want to curse us to death?" ”

Master Cheng glared at her.

"Don't shout." He said angrily, "I didn't ask anything clearly, I rushed to make trouble, haven't you eaten enough?" ”

"You mean it's my fault that all those losses are?" Mrs. Cheng immediately shouted.

A woman's mind is so flexible...

Master Cheng reached out and pressed his forehead.

"Go and ask Shiro to ask." He said, ignoring Mrs. Cheng's words.

The housekeeper hurriedly withdrew, and when he walked to the courtyard gate, he heard an argument coming from the house.

"....You make it clear, how is this my fault, obviously it's you, and the second family's fault..."

“… No one says you're wrong, what do you have a weak heart..."

"....You're not saying I'm wrong! I can't stay here, I'll go..."

"....are you leaving? Where are you going? Just your brother and sister-in-law, can you go home? ”

The crying suddenly rang out.

The butler ran away as if he had fled.

Cheng Shilang almost trotted all the way to Cheng Jiao's mother's house, and the yard was indeed filled with bright furnishings, while Banqin was sitting under the porch and tearing Bai Xiao while wiping her tears. Put it on your own head.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"The elder brothers of the lady's marriage...", Banqin cried.

"Is it the Langjun that Banqin said?" Cheng Shilang asked.

The new clothes he wore during the New Year's Festival last year were still made for these gentlemen and had not been used. I also know some from the mouth of Banqin in the capital.

"That's the brother that the lady relies on the most. It's closer than a kiss, and we've killed wolves together..."

We also killed people together....

Hearing this, Banqin raised her hand again to wipe away her tears.

It's gone, it's really gone...

Anyway, it's gone, it's gone, she still feels like a dream, and she woke up after a while.

"I didn't have anything to do with the king..."Cheng Shilang sighed and said after hearing this.

Soldiers are injured, this is inevitable, and there is no way to do it.

"Why did you have to leave? Is it bad to stay in the capital? Cheng Shilang asked.

Banqin's heart suddenly pinched.

"Fourth son, it's not my lady who forced them to leave, my lady is not..."She said urgently.

The words are not finished. She was stunned, and Cheng Shilang was also stunned.

So, will the lady blame herself more in her heart and be more sad? If you stay in the capital....

Banqin's tears suddenly rained down.

"No, no, I didn't mean that." She leaned over and cried.

Cheng Shilang had to appease her.

"No, it's not, is my sister that kind of person? My sister must be what people ask her to do, it's these few... If you want to go, you will go....Besides, you can't say ifs in the world. Cheng Shilang said.

Banqin choked up and stopped thanking.

"Sister, she..."Cheng Shilang asked worriedly again.

There was no movement for a while....

"Lady. The lady went to find Cheng Ping. Banqin wiped away tears and said, "I'm preparing a funeral at home to send to the northwest." Steward Cao followed. ”

Who is Cheng Ping?

Cheng Shilang thought in his heart that his sister seemed to be a person with two worlds with them....

Steward Cao stood outside the door and looked inside the door, and Cheng Pingzheng was sitting opposite Cheng Jianniang under the corridor.

"The lady will always lose her temper when she sees this guy....now it's not worse to see him at this time...," one of the attendants whispered.

"Maybe it's better to fight poison with poison." Steward Cao said, looking inside the door again.

"There is nothing to be sad about with the king." Cheng Ping said, yawning.

This woman is really, so powerful that she can toss the Cheng family apart by herself, and sometimes she is like a child who doesn't understand anything, and she runs to ask some ridiculous questions.

"I'm not sad." Cheng Jianniang shook her head and said, reaching out and touching her eyes.

She hasn't even shed a tear until now, life and death are uncertain in the battlefield battle, and for her, the people here, all the people are inherently...

She only felt a little stuffy, strangely stuffy, indescribable, so she wanted to find someone to talk to.

"That's right, since you are loyal to the king, where your office is, what is there to be sad about." Cheng Ping said, "Since I went to be a soldier, I knew that there was this result." ”

"But no one is a soldier to die." Cheng Jianniang said.

Just like their Cheng clan's support for the new emperor is not to be exterminated! No one's death is deserved, it is taken for granted, and it can be easily passed with a sentence of life.

"Then you'd be wrong again." Cheng Ping said, "We need to know why we started, not why we end." ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at him.

She used to be the smartest in the family, and she never forgot to understand a point, and what others learned in a year, she could learn in a month, but in front of her ancestors, she always looked like a fool.

Is her nose sour because she is seeing a relative? Although separated by three hundred years of relatives.

"They know why they want to be soldiers, and they are willing to fight for it, and that's enough." Cheng Ping continued, "That is to say, if you die well, you are promising." ”

Die well, yes, she also understands, dying well can be regarded as promising, her brothers died, fought bravely, did not have anything to do with the king, made a name for themselves, and won rewards and awards, it is not in vain.

But what about my father, my friends and relatives, and my clansmen, died. All of them died. They fought. worked hard, but died at the hands of such people, those who fought for it did not get it, and they died in vain.

"What did you say?" Cheng Ping listened to her muttering, and vaguely heard a few words, "You said that you didn't get anything after struggling." Isn't that a well-deserved death? Just live in vain? ”

Cheng Jianniang looked at him.

"Isn't it?" She asked.

"Of course not." Cheng Ping said, frowning, "Little lady, what do you call it?" ”

"What he wants, what he does." Cheng Jianniang said.

"yes, that's what I just said, you need to know where you started." Cheng Ping said, "The people you are talking about don't know what they are doing? ”

"Of course we do." Cheng Jianniang said.

We are here to support the new emperor and achieve meritorious deeds.

We? Cheng Ping's eyebrows furrowed, but there was nothing to care about. Let it be.

"Do not hesitate to work hard for this?" He asked.

"No expense." Cheng Jianniang said firmly.

Those who watched the sky and the earth planned, and led the troops to fight bloody battles. None of them flinched.

"That's not the end of it." Cheng Ping spread his hands and said, "Why isn't this out of nowhere?" How is this not enough? ”

"How is this enough?" Cheng Jianniang raised her voice and said.

Steward Cao, who was outside the door, hurriedly looked in, and Cheng Ping made a threatening gesture.

Cheng Ping pouted.

"Just because you didn't get what you wanted?" "Who says you can get what you want?" Who said that if you work hard, you deserve to succeed? Who says you can do whatever you want? Who can't say it, if you just say it, won't the world be chaotic? ”

But

"But you worked hard, didn't you? But what about others? What about others? People don't have to work hard? Why should you succeed and others fail? You are you, he is him, where should there be? Cheng Ping said.

What the?

Cheng Jianniang looked at him a little stunned.

As long as you know why it started, and work hard for it, you are promising, you have it, you have it, Emperor Pei Gongcheng is the place to be, the overlord of Western Chu is also the place to be, the beggar has to beg for a meal, the ants climb the shore and must not drown and die, the heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs, where do you have the confidence to judge the success or failure, where do you come from the rules for the heaven and the earth? That's where you are, not where heaven is. ”

Cheng Ping continued, his voice stirring, his expression bright, and his spirit shimmering.

Steward Cao outside the door was stunned, and looked at the ragged boy in a daze.

Seeing Cheng Jianniang walking away, Steward Cao turned around again and grabbed Cheng Ping.

"It hurts, it hurts," Cheng Ping shouted.

"My lady is in a bad mood, what are you talking about to her?" Steward Cao shouted in a low voice, holding him back.

"I'm just enlightening her." Cheng Ping shouted with a wronged face, "Let her be happy and know why she started, instead of knowing why she ended, and not lose her heart, so that she can be happy." ”

Steward Cao shook him hard.

"Speak human words!" He shouted.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, and have a normal heart."

"You guy, you say a lot of nine words, it's not a liar!"

When night fell, Steward Cao came to the inner courtyard with some uneasiness, and Banqin waved at him.

"It's okay, I've washed up, I'm going to sleep." She whispered.

"Are you alright?" Steward Cao asked in a low voice.

Banqin shook her head.

This lady is really elusive, or she is not close in the first place, how can there be so much sentimentality, Steward Cao shook his head.

"Something called me, I'm on duty tonight." He said.

Banqin nodded and watched Steward Cao go out, walked under the porch and looked at Cheng Jianniang's house, the light was still on, and a sitting figure was reflected in the dim reflection of the window.

She has been sitting here for a long time since she washed, and Cheng Ping said too much today, which made her brain a little confused.

I don't want to, I don't want to.

She shook her head, her loosely held sideburns falling to the sound of something falling to the ground.

Cheng Jianniang turned her head to look, there was a small silver comb lying on the side of her skirt, and there was a dull light under the light.

"Lady, seven of our brothers, all of them are fellow villagers, from Maoyuan Mountain, and they don't need to be remembered by their mothers, they only ask for the name of their benefactor, and remember their kindness."

"Yes, yes, the lady saved my brother and gave me money."

"Undoubtedly a reborn parent..."

"I want to set up an immortal tablet for the lady..."

Loud voices filled the empty room.

The corners of Cheng Jianniang's mouth couldn't help but bend, in fact, what kind of kindness was there, it was just a gesture.

I didn't expect to see a familiar person die so soon, this feeling seems strange, that kind of sadness is mixed with the sadness of losing a relative, far and near, it seems real and illusory.

She reached out and picked up the silver comb.

So, there is no more such person in the world, these people....

"Be quiet, be quiet, my third brother is going to sing!"

"Brotherhood, two ribs in the knife, life and death, love is higher than the sky, lady, smile for me......"

“… Through the ages, he has been carrying everything on his shoulder, throwing everything away for his confidant, and breaking the rules of heaven in anger. ”

"Hongyan... Gray hair....infatuated but not old...."

In the ear room, Banqin, who lay down and couldn't sleep, sat up abruptly and listened.

Not hallucinations, the sound of a thud in the night wind, and a low singing.

She couldn't help but get up and open the door, her voice echoing the night breeze.

"Ask the hero... What's the matter... It's hard...."

Lady, are you singing?

What a sad song, Banqin couldn't help but shed tears.

That is to say, how can you not be sad, how can you not be sad, the lady just can't say it.

What song is this?

Banqin didn't know, but Steward Cao was a little stunned when he heard it.

"Do you remember?" He said dumbfoundedly.

The two attendants next to each other looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Oh you don't remember, you don't know, you weren't there." Steward Cao smiled again and said, although he smiled, his eyes were still a little dull.

He reached out and pulled the door open, allowing the sound of the song to come in more clearly, and the firelight jumped in front of him, as if he had returned to the valley of that day.

"Laughing people have seen smoke and clouds, empty or empty!"

The man's rough voice rang in his ears.

The unshaven bearded, embarrassed-looking man smiled big in the firelight.

"In the moment of the sea, I advise you not to worry... The daughter is gone....the dream is endless..."

The woman sitting on the ground wrapped in a cloak lowered her head and struck the wine jar.

The laughter and figures of several men beside him swayed.

Gone, no more.

Steward Cao couldn't help but raise his head.

"Master Cao, are you crying?" An attendant asked in surprise with a wink.

"Crying, aren't you crying?" Steward Cao raised his head and sniffed, and said sullenly, "I just said, Cheng Ping, this kid fights poison with poison, he must talk about people well, look, isn't this crying?" It's okay to cry, it's normal. ”

How can you not cry, how can you not be sad, no matter how clear and rational you are, you are also affectionate, so you are human.

The entourage glanced at each other, whose poison was attacked? The lady didn't cry, why did you cry?

The sound of singing echoed over the house over and over again, slowly and flatly, and spread out in all directions with the night wind, whining and weeping in the night.
