Chapter 327: The Truth Really Hurts
There is no war, this general is very idle anyway, but his status in the county lord's mansion is much worse.
Fortunately, Bai Chengguang doesn't care about this, he can see the children every day, and he can work with his hands, just like the life of a farmer a long, long time ago, he slowly calmed down.
Yuan Xianling took over the post of Yin of the capital government, and when he came back, he had another appearance and psychological state, and some of the previous stubbornness, or the scholarly spirit, had weakened a lot.
Yuan Gangzi has become a good friend of the three children again, and he can't stand it if he doesn't play together for a while every day, his fingers are a little thick, but it doesn't prevent him from plucking the guitar at all, and he doesn't care if he is bald.
The guitar band in the county lord's mansion often engages in activities at dusk, and the young people who have come down from leisure sit on the ground with the piano in their hands, and Yuan Gangzi's favorite is this kind of moment.
He was slow to learn, and he played the guitar so hard that the calluses on his hands fell off layer after layer, and he didn't know exactly what tone and which note was in which position.
However, he was able to play the Lullaby on his own, without dropping a note, and later on he was able to keep up with the other songs in the band, although he still didn't know what key and what strings......
The days are like flowing water, and in addition to the days, there is also life.
In fact, the original subordinates of General Bai's Mansion have long been dismissed, only a few old servants who served the Ma family wore sackcloth and white hats, Bai Chengguang and Ma Xunhuan knelt behind Ma Wangye, and the room where the coffin was stopped was the cry of the princess and the servants, mourning. Low, low. With such a depressive ......
Seem. This kind of repression has always existed, and the small and cramped General's Mansion has never been as good as the prosperous Prince's Mansion in the past, and those majestic and high-spirited veteran sergeants are no longer around them.
As far as the eye can see, there is sorrow everywhere......
This sorrow had been pressed on Bai Chengguang's shoulders for so long that he could not breathe easily.
How easy is it? Ma Xunhuan is always dissatisfied. Lord Ma always loses his temper, and Princess Ma always tears and says, "Son, my mother is sorry for your ......".
There are not many people who come to mourn, Ma Wangye has made a lot of contributions to several battles, and he is not guaranteed to Zuihou in the evening, and he has made a lot of pickled things, and there are many disputes between the DPRK and China, and there are few people who come in person.
Bai Chengguang's impostor as a general has been locked up in Dali Temple for a long time, and he himself is not good at messing around in officialdom. In fact, he didn't even have a real iron relationship, and he came for his face. There are only little Arwen and the steward of the county lord's mansion.
"Big brother, don't be too sad......", little Awen didn't understand, did Big Brother Weishenme have to carry such a large family on his shoulders and owe them?
"I-'m alright, are the kids alright?" Bai Chengguang's face was gray, he had aged many times during this time, in fact, he didn't know what the point of doing this was, he was an outcast, and he still is.
The prince and the princess have always treated Ma Xunhuan very differently from Bai Chengguang, and he felt it himself.
That kind of pure family affection, just like treating his three children, no matter how lazy Ma Xunhuan is, he can't get up in bed, he refuses to eat because the food is not right, such a big man doesn't do any work, and when he is a father, he is always so willing to pet and cling.
And Bai Chengguang himself has never been so unscrupulous and selfless in his life.
Even if you take Princess Ma to your own home to raise her, you won't get such pure family affection.
"If they could live independently, then I could leave it alone, but now, the family property has been confiscated, the mother is blind, the younger brother is disabled, and the father is old......."
Where is he alone to put the facts and reason, Xiao Awen shook his head and left, this big brother is hopeless, as long as he doesn't harm his sister-in-law and children, let him suffer!
The servant's crying continued, and the funeral was counting on them to make some noise, Ma Xunhuan felt unbearable when he knelt for a while, Ma Wangye refused to howl, Princess Ma likes to shed tears, but she is not good at crying and singing.
Bai Chengguang bent down and sat down among the flowers in the backyard, he didn't blame Ma Xunhuan for not crying, he was too, when the old lady finally took a breath of zuihou, he actually had a feeling of sudden relief.
Now, the stupid man is determined to find a way to earn more money and accumulate some wealth for these three "relatives", and then he can easily go to live his own life.
He closed his eyes and fell into a reverie, no matter how Ah Yuan picks himself up, as long as he can accompany her and her three children, it will be the happiest future......
"Dad, I've had enough! Why do you have to live in this place? Eat the food of the subordinates, wear tattered clothes, why do you live like this? β
An angry voice came, accompanied by a kick that kicked away a pile of flowers and soil.
It's his arrogant and lazy younger brother - Ma Xunhuan.
"I told you to bear with it, why are you confused again?" The voice of this reprimand is also very loving, and Bai Chengguang has never enjoyed it.
"We still have some money in our hands, you can eat and drink for a lifetime, but what about status? You haven't been a flat-headed commoner, you don't know how suffocating it is to live like that, no matter how much money I leave for you, I can't keep it, Huan'er, you listen to your father, you will dominate the general's mansion and live, that kid is sincere, seeing that we don't have money to go out, and when there is a war again, won't that kid still have to lead the troops out? Won't it be your world then? If you stay for a few more days, you will know that you are the general's younger brother, and in the future, no matter if that kid dies in battle, or guards the border pass, who is embarrassed to embarrass you? Even the little emperor will not be easily embarrassed by you! β
Bai Chengguang only felt that his whole body was cold, and there was a piece of cold ice blocked in every sweat pore.
"But Dad, isn't it good for us to secretly take some money out and spend it? Carrying that useless stupid boy on his back, you look at his ability to make money, and no one wants to have a good life with him! β
Ma Xunhuan's voice was full of undisguised contempt, for the baby who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, his current life is indeed not comfortable. But. This is already the most haode thing that this stupid man in front of him can come up with.
Two lines of tears. Fluttering down, Bai Chengguang's body trembled, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word.
"Huan'er, bear with me, be polite to that kid. Our family's money is buried deeply, and only when it comes to the most critical time, when that kid has no ability to cover you. to be able to take it out. Since that dead woman refuses to go to the diplomatic child, you can adopt a temperamental haode outside as an heir in the future, and when your father is old, I look forward to your future life being smooth and comfortable......"
Such a loving and selfless father has paved the way for his son, even if the foreshadowing used is his own other son.
Bai Chengguang's head was dizzy, he got up from the ground and walked slowly, don't stumble so much, Bai Chengguang. You've got to hold on, go straighter!
Who has ever seen a fool like me? Who has seen it? Bring it to me!
"Hehe-hehe-hehe-hehe-". The silly man smiled and walked to the front hall, where the old lady's coffin was parked, and at one time, her withered fingers caressed the top of her head, and called out lovingly, "Huan'er, grandmother's most beloved good grandson-".
The princess has changed her kneeling position to a sitting position, too, she is too tired to kneel, her body is weak, since she gave birth to herself and abandoned herself, her eyes have been crying in pain......
Mother probably really loves herself, right? She was always so guilty and cried and said, "Son, my mother is sorry for your ......."
weishenme want to be sorry for me? weishenme must be sorry for me? Can't you raise your noble hand to be worthy of your son once?
A few subordinates who continued to work hard to cry were frightened stupid by this tearful master, no, Bai Chengguang was not their master, it turned out that the subordinates of the General's Mansion were dismissed, because this guy was very poor and couldn't afford to support so many people.
"Mother-mother-mother-", Bai Chengguang hugged his mother, who was also frightened, screaming fiercely and desperately.
This is a title he once longed for so much, and he is even willing to exchange all his wealth for the power that can be called so, now, let him call one more time, hold this woman who gave him life one more time!
"Son, what's wrong with you?" The princess's voice was so erratic, like a cloud flying in the air, Bai Chengguang couldn't catch it for the rest of his life.
"Mother, in the future, don't cry, take care of yourself. Son, let's go, you let the prince take out some treasures, and you family of three go and live your own happy life! If, I have never been found, I am still the mud leg born in the countryside, all my life, stupidly digging in the dirt, is the most suitable ......".
Bai Chengguang lifted his robe and kowtowed, once, again, and then, turned away, and continued to walk in a straight posture.
Life is a joke, and who doesn't get laughed at a few more times?
Fall, get up, that's it.
The shoes are off, and Weishenme doesn't pick them? The hair is scattered, I don't know how to put it together, the body is full of dust, I can't see the color of the fabric clearly, man, you don't have a sense of direction anymore, and you don't have to go to the city to travel, right?
It's okay, I also know that I came back before the city gate was curfew, it's not easy to see beggars these days, and if it's not good, you go to the county lord's mansion to get a pancake and fruit tricycle out to do business, and you won't starve if you pay back the money slowly!
"Man, do you know the county lord's mansion? Oh, go east, I heard that the ironware workshop is also recruiting, will you make rattan ware? When you enter the city, you won't have to worry, as long as you are diligent, you can live a good life! β
The kind passer-by said "I have to", and the pancake and fruit tricycle at the roadside stall began to kick up, and there were two left that were not for sale, so go home for dinner!
In fact, the life of the little people is good, as long as the family can eat and drink enough, they are very satisfied, although the official is prominent, but it is too laborious, and those who do not have two brushes still evacuate as soon as possible.
Bai Chengguang thought in a daze, would the large piece of wasteland in the Confusion Array be converted into fertile land? Hollowing out the stone should also change the essence, right? Is there anyone working in the ramen restaurant in Zhuyang County now? Cailian's beautiful fang has lost the guard of Yuan County's order, but someone has come to bully him?
"I am Bai Chengguang, a mud-legged Bai family, and my family lives in the Confused ...... of Zhuyang County." The stupid man has now become an idiot, and he banged on the door of the county lord's mansion with a chatter.
In fact, he had no direction in his head, and he walked here in the smoke, perhaps, only here, did he feel at home.
The concierge of the county lord's mansion was not shili's eyes, and when he saw the beggar coming to the door, he brought hot water: "Oh, brother, take a sip to warm your stomach first, and when the bowl of hot noodles comes out of the kitchen, you will fill your stomach, wash yourself, and then talk about work." β
"Hehe-", Bai Chengguang raised his face and smiled with a big mouth.
"YesβGeneral White?" The porter was a little dumbfounded, the hot water in the bowl almost didn't spill out, and he turned his head to look outside: "Who bullied you?" Tell the little ones and shout for our guards to pump them out! β
This white general belongs to our family, so he can only be bullied by our county lord, right?
"Hehe-hehe-", after laughing happily, Bai Chengguang grabbed the water bowl and put it in his mouth, I don't know how long he walked outside, he was really thirsty.
The mantle was scattered, the clothes were dripping, and the shoes were missing, no matter how they looked like they had been ravaged, the porter closed the door, and hurriedly sent the girl to report to the county lord, and the other spare tire resting in the house returned to his post.
Ah Yuan is playing games with the children, and little Ah Wen is also waiting on the side with low eyebrows, pulling the bells and whistles of the card paintings, and the mother wants to teach the Arabic numerals to the children, playing the famous "bamboo pole" game.
"Zhanpeng won five cards, awesome! Oh, the top is a 2, and Zhanpeng is also out of 2, you can take it away! β
The children were having fun and were repeating "2" in their mouths......
"2" is coming! There is no most "2", only more "2"!
Ah Wen was the first to run out, with an anxious and worried face, and said that his eldest brother's heart and eyes were not enough to mix outside, and he had no other ability to turn around except to go to the battlefield to fight, look, he was bullied ruthlessly, right?
No one can settle down to play cards, simply, take the three children with them, the county lord is also full of anger in his heart, that is the father of Qi Ayuan's child, which is not long-sighted provocative trouble?
It's a lie to say that I'm not worried, this man is stupid and can see from his appearance, he inherited Ma Guotao's skin in vain, and he didn't match his eyes at all.
Seeing his younger brother, his daughter-in-law and the children, the stupid man continued to grin, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of scaring the child, it was Bai Chengguang's own flesh and blood, and each of them looked like flesh and blood.
"Have you eaten? Let the chef make a bowl of noodles and lie on two poached eggs. Take it to my house, and, prepare hot water, wash the general, Arwen, find clothes for your brother......". (To be continued......)
