A middle-aged man who was directing the busy work at the gate was slightly stunned when he saw Li Xun, and then hurriedly trotted up, and said with an extremely respectful attitude: "General Li, why are you here." ”

Li Xun said softly: "Jiang Daxiong is my brother, his relatives, that is, my relatives, relatives are dying, I should come and see." ”

"Da Zhuang, why is the white cloth hanging high on the gate, Aunt Lan..."

Ouyang Li asked out loud.

This middle-aged man is Jiang Dazhuang, the boss of the Jiang family, listening to Ouyang Li's question, Jiang Dazhuang's eyes suddenly turned red, and while touching his tears, he cried and said, "My mother.. She's gone. ”

Li Xun shook his head, patted Jiang Dazhuang's shoulder, and walked into Jiang's house.

In the living room, the mourning hall was being furnished, with a white cloth on the ground, Shen Lan's body was lying there quietly, several of her children were discussing fiercely there, and her wife Jiang Dashou was squatting there, looking down at the ground, without saying a word, and Jiang Daxiong stood aside and didn't say a word.

Li Xun walked in, Jiang Daxiong saw it, grinned, and shouted, "Boss." ”

Everyone suddenly quieted down, they all looked at the door, and when they saw Li Xun, Jiang Xiaowu and others hurriedly walked over, and said with a smile: "Why bother General Li to run in person, I am really flattered." ”

"It's nothing, Jiang Daxiong hasn't returned for a long time, I'll take a look."

Li Xun glanced at Jiang Xiaowu and said lightly.

Jiang Xiaowu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "General Li is too polite. ”

Li Xun nodded, didn't say more, walked up to Jiang Daxiong, looked at him carefully, his eyes were red, and his face was tired, obviously he hadn't slept well for several days.

"Big bear, mourning."

Li Xun patted Jiang Daxiong on the shoulder and said softly.

Jiang Daxiong lowered his head and said silently: "I don't have a mother anymore." ”

Li Xun was silent, and then walked to Shen Lan's corpse and bowed respectfully, which was not only a memorial to the death of the elder, but also a respect for Jiang Daxiong.

Li Xun didn't stay long, comforted Jiang Daxiong a few words, and then left.

Five days later, Jiang Daxiong returned to the Li Mansion, Li Xun was quite surprised, and after some inquiry, he learned that Jiang Dazhuang also went with Shen Lan.

Jiang Dazhuang has a very stubborn temper, and he never laughs, even if his children get married, they all have a straight face, Shen Lan died, according to custom, the body should be put on the ground and covered with a white cloth that night.

But Jiang Dazhuang didn't agree, and even put down his stubborn temper and begged his children loudly: "Don't put your old lady on the ground, she is not afraid of the cold in winter?" Put it on, I'll sleep with her for the last night, I'm not afraid...."

Jiang Dazhuang may not have any joys, sorrows, sorrows, or sorrows, but his true expression made everyone cry, so he no longer insisted, according to Jiang Dazhuang's request, the next morning, Jiang Dazhuang, who usually likes to get up early, has not gotten up for a long time, and the children went to shout, only to find that Jiang Dazhuang was no longer breathing, hugging Shen Lan tightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Maybe in the dream, Jiang Dazhuang dreamed of the happy time he had with his wife in the past, at that time, Jiang Dazhuang also smiled, but with the early death of his eldest son and the oppression of life, the smile on his face became less and less, but as the head of the family, the father of the children, Shen Lan's husband, no matter how hard and tired he was, he gritted his teeth and persevered to the end.

After listening to Jiang Daxiong's description, Li Xun was silent for a long time and felt a lot of emotion, and You Min on the side held Li Xun's hand and gave him a deep look.

Li Xun held You Min's hand, felt the warmth of his palm, looked at Jiang Daxiong, and said softly: "Your adoptive parents are both dead, what are your plans, ready to keep filial piety for them?" ”

Jiang Daxiong lowered his head and said silently: "I have this plan, but my brothers don't let me keep filial piety, saying that they are manly husbands, because they focus on their careers, they rush to keep filial piety, and they just say that they are filial piety alone, and they don't want me to delay the big thing." ”

Li Xun saw the sorrow in Jiang Daxiong's heart, in just a few days, his adoptive parents left him one by one, and the grief was insignificant for outsiders.

The thoughts of Jiang Xiaowu and others, Li Xun thought about it slightly, and it was clear that because of Jiang Xiaowu, he knew Jiang Daxiong, and it was also because of Jiang Daxiong that the entire Jiang family became rich, and he kept filial piety for three years, which was too long, Jiang Daxiong was the guarantee of their family's wealth, maybe there was some prevarication before, but seeing Jiang Daxiong's attitude, they could only actively say that they would not let Jiang Daxiong delay the big event because of the death of his parents, after all, there will be too many changes in three years.

Li Xun didn't say much, just comforted Jiang Daxiong a few words, from his words, Li Xun also knew something, Jiang Dazhuang and his wife have four sons and three daughters, plus Jiang Daxiong is five sons and three daughters, now the old couple has died, the brothers are facing a quarrel over the separation of the family, who divides more, who divides less, the quarrel continues, Jiang Daxiong does not fight for anything, but has deep grief for the death of his adoptive parents.

Li Xun didn't talk about things here, but Zhao Xun found Yang Daolin over there, and when the two met, they didn't get down to business, but in words, they played a game of chess.

Yang Daolin arched his hand and said: "The prince is experienced in chess, step by step, think twice, and surrender to lose." ”

"Yang Xiangguo is humble, if it weren't for his uncertainties, would Lone be your opponent?"

Zhao Xun took the initiative and took the teapot to add water to Yang Daolin's cup.

Yang Daolin saluted and expressed his gratitude.

The two sat down again, Yang Daolin looked at Zhao Xun, and said softly: "The prince is looking for an old minister, won't he just talk about chess?" ”

Zhao Xun nodded, and said softly: "Yang Dao's heir Xiangguo and Yang Luwang passed away, and Yang Dao'an may be uneasy because of the Shuzhou Festival, and my father is also quite suspicious of this, I don't know what advice Lord Xiangguo has?" ”

Yang Daolin was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "It's not a secret, Yang Luwang's death is very important to Yang Daoan.... Yang Daoan...."

Yang Daolin said a few Yang Daoan in a row, and finally shook his head and did not finish his words.

Zhao Xun glanced at Yang Daolin deeply, and said lightly: "The death of Yang Dao's heir Xiangguo, the world is shaken, and everyone in the world is side-eyed. It's time to think ahead. ”

Yang Daolin was silent again, Yang Daoan was not biological about Yang Luwang's son, not his own, all his hopes were pinned on him, and now, Yang Luwang died suddenly, all hopes were shattered, Yang Daoan sent a message to the Yang family two days ago, and his words were not inferior, and he asked the Yang family for an explanation.

After a long time, Yang Daolin sighed: "In the sixth brother, I have been in the army for a long time, and I am upright, and sometimes, I don't think too much about doing things. ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "You are brothers, and it is easy to say anything, but we outsiders are not good to say much." ”

Yang Daolin shook his head: "The world is so big, all of them are the emperor's subjects, and there is no direct saying inside and outside." ”

"Yang Xiangguo, what are your plans?"

Zhao Xun didn't want to say more, and asked bluntly.

Yang Daolin pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The old minister is preparing to go to Shuzhou, and there are some things, maybe it is better to explain them clearly in person." ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "Yang Xiangguo has such an idea, it is really a great good. ”
