"Grandpa......"
Wan Chun held the box, very sad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Chengxu glanced at her with a smile repeatedly, and said: "Go find a place to collect the money, in the future, you have to plan more for yourself, and you don't have to worry about anything else." You can meet whoever you like, and marry whoever you want, our Li family will always support you. ”
There is no need to be fettered by the Li family, nor is there any need to be hindered by the dispute between the north and the south.
He watched deeply as the youngest girl in the family walked out softly, and the cough that had been held back for a long time swept over again.
Li Da wiped his tears and patted him on the back, Li Chengxu waved his hand, but asked him to sit down and said, "Sicong, you have been following me for thirty or forty years, right?" ”
"Yes, thirty-seven years and five months." Li Da tied his hands and lowered his head with red eyes.
He was sixteen years old to enter the Li family, at that time the house was still in charge of the old lady, originally bought him to be a family, coincided with Li Chengxu led the troops back triumphantly, the family lived in the house, is short of manpower, the old lady gave the newly bought maid boy, all of them to Li Chengxu, he is one of them.
After so many years, the entourage maid who stayed by Li Chengxu's side, the marrying man, the returning hometown, and the deceased, in the end, he was the only one left, and he was conscientious and diligent by Li Chengxu's side. In this mansion, except for his wife Yu and a few young masters, he is the only one who is closest to Li Chengxu.
He followed Li Chengxu all the way, witnessed him marrying two aunts and wives and unfortunately lost his lover's heart, watched him abandon the darkness and welcome the Zhang family into Beijing, and watched his children and grandchildren grow up one after another. He is like a living history, recording most of Li Chengxu's life with memories, familiar with all his preferences and temperament, and even more familiar with his spirit of willing sacrifice for the country and family.
Seeing that he seemed to be going to have a long talk, he sniffed and said, "Master, you want to go to Tianjin, the little one can't persuade you, just ask you to take me with you." ”
"Take you, what can you do?" Li Chengxu chuckled, "I was about to talk about this, if I leave, you see that this house is full of women, and there must be a man to help me." Li Hui's kid is clever, but he is not old enough, if you follow me for the longest time, and spend the longest time in the Li family, there is nothing you don't know inside and out, you stay and take care of the Li family for me, and when I come back, the two of us will drink and talk again. ”
Come back? Can this ever be returned?
Li Da held back his tears, held back his words for half his life, and finally couldn't help but burst out at this time: "Master, you just persuaded Miss Fourth and told her to plan more for herself, why don't you know to live for yourself?" At the beginning, in order to win over the Beijing garrison, you were willing to let the old lady misunderstand and marry the two-room aunt wife who was sent to the door. Later, the Zhang family entered Beijing, for the stability of the new government, Rao is Li family worked hard, and you still pushed Zhang Zuoling to the presidential seat. This is even more unspeakable now, what kind of thing is that Zhang Jingzu, when our Li family went south and north to fight the world, he didn't even have a mother's womb, not to mention taking advantage of our Li family, and now he has also hurt the third young master and the third young grandmother, why should we desperately give him the Zhang family's ungrateful thing to guard the country? Just tell the Japanese to come in and kill those turtles! ”
"It's nothing to kill the Zhang family, but what about the tens of thousands of people in the old capital? What do they do? ”
Li Chengxu's face was slightly gloomy, and he stared at Li Dadao: "Sicong, it doesn't matter if we are old, but we can't be old and confused." The reason why our Li family wanted to open the door to welcome Zhang Zuoling into the city was not because his Zhang family was powerful, but because the monarch of the old dynasty was mediocre, and he wanted to cede the great rivers and mountains to foreigners inch by inch, and wanted tens of thousands of my compatriots in China to be slaves of foreigners. And the Zhang family was just an ally who happened to appear at that time. If it was the Wang family and the Wu family who rebelled at that time, I would still open the city gate and welcome them into Beijing. At present, Zhang Jingzu is useless, and the ready-made country has been ruined by him, he is selfish and does not want Zhang Jiajun to lose a penny, but our Li family is different from him. Our Li family...... There has never been a person who is afraid of death, and there has never been a reason to plan only for himself. Sicong, I am not guarding the country for him Zhang Jingzu, but guarding the country for the nine provinces and eighteen districts of my northern country, even if the liver and brain are smeared, I will not hesitate. ”
"Sir!"
Li Dabei started from the heart, for so many years, he had to serve by Li Chengxu's side without marrying all his life, in order to admire his heart of worrying about the country and the people?
Don't blame Li Chengxu for scolding him for being confused, he ...... It's really confused, so confused that I almost don't deserve the surname Li.
He wiped his tears again and said: "I will do whatever the master tells me to do, I just hope that the master will go to victory, and my wife and the fourth lady are waiting for you to triumph at home." ”
"Good, good, good." Li Chengxu nodded again and again, and suddenly said, "That little girl still has some ideas, if Tianjin can't hold it, you should ask her not to fall in love with the old capital, and be sure to take her mother to a safe place." ”
"Yes."
"And what if...... I mean, in case I don't survive, you must bury me next to Minmin's grave, I have been away from her for too long, and if I get down, I want to spend more time with her. ”
"Hey."
He said one sentence, and Li Da responded to the next sentence with tears in his eyes.
The long road of life has come to an end in the end.
On July 28, the 37th year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese army occupied Tianjin, the naval commander Li Chengxu was killed in Weihaiwei, the left wing commander Gu Dezhe was killed, the right wing commander Zou Mingzhang was killed, and the life and death of the military Fan Lanting are unknown.
When the battle report reached Wan Chun's hands, it was already August 3.
It was supposed to be the season of midsummer, but after two storms, it became inexplicably bleak.
Ji Yuan had already come to his senses under the care of Bo Ol, and the day he was sent back to the Li family was also when Wanchun received the battle report.
She has long been tortured by the world into a rock, and she has no tears to cry, and her mother Yu has been in a coma since the bad news came, and she can only lie on the bed.
Fang Fei was also heartbroken when she stayed in the mansion, and Fan Lanting's nowhere to be found made her scared, she was really afraid that the husband and wife would never see each other again.
Up and down the house, the only ones who can still walk are Wanchun and Bool.
In order to save Ji Yuan, Bo Ol was also scarred on his body, and when he didn't have time to feel sorry for Zhou Xiang, Li Chengxu's death became the most painful thing for him.
On the contrary, Li Da seemed to have expected this ending, and after crying a lot, he went to say to Bo Yu and Wan Chun: "When the old gentleman left, he told me that he and the old lady must be buried together after he dies. Now that the old gentleman is gone, it's time for me to make good on my promise. The eldest young master, the fourth young lady, I am going to Tianjin to pick up the old gentleman back. ”
"No, Uncle Li, I'll go with you if you want to go." Bool wiped away his tears and stood up in pain, "Let's go and fetch grandpa together." ”
Li Dadao: "Young Master, how can you walk away?" Now there are only one or two left in this house, you can preside over it. ”
Bo Yu said: "Although it is difficult at home, no matter how difficult it is, I can't leave my grandfather's body out, I must go on this trip." ”
"The eldest brother is right, no matter how difficult it is at home, grandpa can't be bitter. Uncle Li, let the eldest brother go with you, family...... There is still me at home, and my mother. ”
Grandpa is right, no one will plan for her in the future, she has to plan for herself, and calculate what the future of the Li family should be.
