Yang Boqing returned home, the night was very deep, the family servants were basically asleep, he walked to the door of Ji Qing's room with a heavy heart, he wanted to knock on the door, taking advantage of the dead of night and no one to disturb, and his brother said a few words, raised his hand but hesitated, he couldn't knock down, and finally thought about it or left, this night, he tossed and turned, never sleeped, but also came up with a plan for the second day, just wait for dawn to tell Tian Geng to deal with it.

The next day, throughout the day, Yang Boqing was step-by-step, quiet, but there was a lack of field cultivation around him, and he accompanied his mother to finish his meal in the evening, when the lights were on, he stayed in his mother's room, and ordered the servants to retreat, only the mother and son were left in the room, and he lost the account book, Li Mingshuo told his mother about the extortion, and Yang's mother was horrified when she heard the account book, and then she was a little relieved to hear that Li Mingshuo wanted Dong'er to make a deposit.

Yang Boqing asked her mother why she was so worried about Ji Qing's reaction, and Yang's mother explained: "Although this Dong'er has no ambition to be the main room, but as soon as the young lady and the elders of the big family outside heard that our little son already has a sweetheart who is in love, who is willing to wronged his daughter to marry us, Ji Qing wants to learn from you and raise his rarest woman outside, then he has to marry the main room to have this idea before he can speak, he is now like glue with Dong'er every day, you and me." , how is it possible to find a good family business. Now this Li Mingshuo wants her to go by name, but it just follows my heart. When the ledger was returned, not only did we not lose anything, but we took advantage of this to get rid of a piece of heart disease. ”

Yang Boqing thought secretly: "Fortunately, I met Xiaoyun after marrying a wife, if I met my sweetheart before I got married like Ji Qing, things would be difficult." ”

He said to his mother: "Don't hide it from my mother, tonight I have arranged for someone to turn over the child's medicine and send it to Li Mingshuo, the only thing I am worried about is that I am afraid that Ji Qing will not be able to withstand this blow, hasn't my mother heard of it, the more simple-minded people are hit, the easier it is to be stupid." If the younger brother commits dementia for Dong'er's affairs, he will also be worried in the future. ”

Mother Yang frowned, thought for a moment, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Ji Qing's room and meet him." ”

Yang Boqing wanted to probe some breath from his younger brother last night, and at this moment he was a little impatient, so he went to Ji Qing's room with his mother, but Ji Qing was not in his room, and asked the girl Lan Xin who was waiting outside the house, this little girl was originally Ji Qing's roommate, because of the existence of Dong'er, she fell from the position of the girl in the room, and waited outside, and her heart has been indignant, and now the old lady and the eldest man asked her, so she pouted and said, "Where else can the fourth son go?" It's nothing more than Miss Wan's place in the back garden, if I hadn't called him back to sleep every night, I don't know how long I would stay at Miss Wan's place? ”

Yang Boqing ordered: "You go and call him back now, just say that the eldest master is waiting for him here." ”

After a while, Ji Qing came back, and when he entered the room, he found that not only his brother was waiting in his room, but even his mother was there, and he was particularly surprised: "Mother, brother, why did you come to me?" If there is anything, just let the girl pass me to the mother's room, how dare the son work for his mother's master. ”

When Yang's mother learned that he was nostalgic for going back and forth in the back garden every day, she was very uncomfortable, and she used the topic to tell him about the daughters of big families outside who were unwilling to marry him and the reason, sighing while talking. Ji Qing was speechless, so she had to bite the bullet and let her mother complain and complain.

After his mother finished talking about getting married, Yang Boqing also told him about the account book slowly, but he didn't mention Li Mingshuo's request for Dong'er for the time being.

When Yang Jiqing heard that this account book could not only kill his brother, but also put the entire Yang family in a place of no return, he was naturally terrified, and he couldn't help complaining: "Isn't it good for my brother to be an innocent official?" As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and you can't hide it from today, and you can't hide it from tomorrow, if you want people to know, unless you don't ----- it."

Yang Boqing was silent, and Yang's mother said indignantly: "Your brother doesn't do these things to support his family, just with the little money on his face, it is still difficult to support his own wife and children, where can you take care of us, you have someone to serve you when you enter the door, and you have a car to travel when you go out, don't you need silver?" I don't know the price of firewood and rice, I don't know how hard it is to make a living, you are so big, you have gone out to experience once, but you have taken home a penny of silver, everyone in this family is qualified to say your brother, but you are not qualified to say your brother. ”

Yang Jiqing was speechless, but Boqing defended his younger brother: "Mother don't blame my younger brother, all the mistakes are my fault, if we don't meet Li Yuma's conditions and are stabbed to the emperor by him, I'm afraid that the next day will be my death day next year, next year's Qingming Festival, if my younger brother helps my mother to go to my grave to burn paper, you must help your mother, don't let your mother be too sad and hurt your body, my mother is healthy, and my brother and I will be at ease under the Yellow Spring----

Yang Boqing said and spoke, his voice slowly choked, and finally rolled down tears, and he took his sleeve to wipe it unhurriedly.

Ji Qing was stunned, he had never seen his brother cry since he was a child, today not only saw his brother in tears, but also heard his brother mention the things behind him, he couldn't help but feel like a knife, trembling and asked: "Mother and brother must have come to me to discuss with me about Li Fuma's blackmail, so what are the conditions for the eldest brother of the Li family?" If I could help, my brother would just tell me that even if it was just for my mother, I would die at all. ”

Yang Boqing turned his head to look at his mother and signaled that this matter would be told by his mother.

Mother Yang sighed and said: "Whether your brother can escape this catastrophe is only up to you, as long as you are willing, he can live, if you are not willing, he will only die." ”

"Mother, my brother and I are brothers of the same mother, what is there to be reluctant to give up, mother just speaks, the child is just gone."

Mother Yang looked at the youngest son in a daze, and said coldly: "Master Li has taken a fancy to your Dong'er, he wants your brother to take Dong'er to exchange for the account book, tonight is the last time, when he can't see Dong'er, he will hand the account book to the princess, and then the princess will present it to the emperor." ”

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Ji Qing shook his body so much that he felt that he couldn't breathe, he couldn't breathe, his body was also slumped on the chair, his face was even more white paper, and he was dizzy for a while.

At this time, the wind suddenly began to blow outside, and at first it was only a small wind, and after a while, the wind began to get stronger, and there was a noise in the yard, at first it was just the sound of crockpots and dead branches rolling in the yard, and then people came out and hurried to collect the things placed in the yard--- flower pots, clothes, brooms, and other things that could not be resisted by the wind.

Some people were hit on their heads and faces by something blown by the wind, and they screamed in fright, and some people saw something blown by the wind flying towards another person, shouting loudly to remind the other party to dodge, in just a few minutes, the wind grew from nothing, from small to large, and in an instant, flying sand and stones, just like the bad news that Ji Qing heard, people sat in the house, and disaster came from the sky.

According to Boqing's instructions, the old servant Sun Ma next to Mother Yang and the young widow servant Aunt Xue of thirty-five or sixteen have closed all the windows of Ji Qing's room, Sun Ma is guarding the front door, Aunt Xue is waiting at the back of the house, not letting others rush into Ji Qing's room, and the three serious masters of Yang Mansion are all talking inside.

After the wind was strong, Aunt Xue saw that the two windows of the back window were blown by the wind, sometimes sucking in, sometimes bulging out, shaking very seriously, and making a loud noise, so she walked over and lay on the window, pressing it with her hand, so as not to let it make a loud noise because of the shaking, which affected the conversation of the masters.

Ji Qing sat slumped in the chair, dumbfounded, and couldn't speak for a long time.

Yang Boqing comforted Yang's mother: "Mother, even if the fourth brother is difficult to give up, I also have the most tender piece of meat on the tip of my heart, and I know how painful that piece of meat hurts when someone moves it." I have already planned to give them some entanglement, and let the fourth brother lead Dong'er away tonight, to a place where no one recognizes, change his name and surname, and live and work in peace and contentment, but the fourth brother, you must remember that you must never look back, even if the family is full of blood, you must not look back. If you turn around, our family will really have no queen. ”

Mother Yang scolded in a low voice: "Boqing, what did you say, their lives are fate, isn't the lives of dozens of other people in our Yang Mansion fate?" ”

Boqing defended: "Mother, the fourth brother and Dong'er are still young, and their road is still long, so it is not impossible to use the fate of dozens of people in our whole house to fulfill their good couple and fulfill their good fate." ”

"No." Mother Yang roared categorically, her eyes were already red, and tears flowed out: "If I can't save the Yang family today, even if I die, I won't have the shame to see my ancestors and ancestors." She pointed to her younger son, her fingers and arms trembling, and cursed at her eldest son, "Let this seed of infatuation throw me into a mass grave to be a lonely ghost." We're not going to die well anyway. ”
