Chapter 47 The Change of the Shang Family
If this fashionable official had become a poor man, I am afraid that no one would have strung his beard a long time ago. All the people in the family gathered in front of Shang Daguan's bed, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, the eldest wife came, the second concubine came, the third aunt Tai Chunhong came, Shang Xing also came, at this time Shang Da Young Master must be present, because as the eldest son, how can he not be filial piety in front of his sick father, show his skills in times of crisis, and see loyalty at a critical juncture.
Although he was suffering from illness, his face was full of smiles, and he felt sincerely relieved to have these sensible wives and children.
Poor Shang Daguan would never have dreamed that the Grim Reaper was approaching him step by step, and the killing machine was quietly sneaking towards him.
On the fifth night of Shang Daguanren's illness, Shang Xing took all the people around Shang Daguan away for various reasons and reasons.
The parents are in bed, the eldest son has the final say, who dares not to listen to Shang Xing at this time, if he doesn't listen, the old man will rush to the underworld in the future, so do you want to mix in this family.
This is like Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty back then, make a move when you should make a move, otherwise you will not be able to reign in the world and make people bow down. Of course, Shang Xing doesn't need others to bow down, he just needs the warm embrace of his mother and his father's tens of millions of family fortunes.
Everyone left, and Shang Daguan also had his eyes idle and fell asleep.
The night slowly approached the deep watch, it was the best time to kill people and set fires, Shang Xing gently pushed Shang Daguan and said, "Dad, it's time to take medicine when you wake up." ”
Shang Daguan woke up from the dream, stretched out his hand to take the medicine bowl that Shang Xing held in his hand, tilted his neck and drank the medicine in the bowl, then lay back on the quilt, squinted his eyes, and gradually fell asleep after a while.
The night gradually opened, the fish belly appeared white in the east, and the room was also sprinkled with dappled light, Shang Xing's mother, that is, the chief lady of Shang Daguanren, entered the room with a basin of washing water, looked at Shang Xing, who was sleeping on the table, and walked forward and patted his son's back in distress and said: "Xing'er, it's dawn, you go back to your room and sleep, I'll take care of your father here." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the wet towel from the warm water in the basin and twisted it lightly and said, "Master, wake up and don't sleep, wipe your face first, it's time for breakfast later." ”
Who knows, Shang Daguan, who usually wakes up as soon as he screams, is still lying there under the quilt as if he didn't hear it, and the eldest wife walked over, gently lifted the quilt and said, "It's dawn, master, don't sleep." ”
But Shang Daguan still didn't move, and the eldest wife noticed that it was not good, so she stretched out her hand and put it on Shang Daguan's mouth, and found that her husband had no breath, and even more so no breath. She was so frightened that she shouted: "Xing'er, what's wrong with your father, why is he out of breath." ”
Shang Xing ran forward and shouted, "Dad, wake up, you can scare my mother." ”
Then he grinned and cried, crying so earth-shatteringly, blood flowed from his nose and mouth when he cried, Shang Xing was really crying, because he felt that he was too sorry for his father, Shang Daguan was an old man, and secretly slept with a woman who regarded his father as an eyeball, not to mention putting on a big green hat for the old man, and personally sent his father who was in the prime of life to the palace of Hades.
So Shang Xing cried, crying hard, because he felt that only crying could alleviate his sin, and only crying could reduce his guilt.
Hearing the cry, everyone came, the concubine in the second room came with Xiao Shangzhi in her arms, the wife of the third room came with a big belly, the housekeeper came, and the servants and long-term workers came.
Tai Chunhong, the third aunt with a big belly, saw Shang Xing's tears crying, snot and blood flowed together, and almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking: "You beast can really pretend, and you can pretend, that old thing is lying under the Nine Springs, and I wouldn't have thought that it was you, an unfilial son, who sent him to hell." Boy, your skill of pretending to be B even Zhuge Liang, who was mourning in Chai Sangkou back then, would sigh to himself when he saw it. ”
The people present, except for Chunhong, knew that who would have thought that it was Shang Xing, the successor of the Shang family, who killed the master.
In fact, in the middle of the night last night, Shang Xing put a kind of sweat medicine handed over to him by Chunhong in the bowl of medicine that Shang Daguan served, this medicine is used in small amounts, which will make people dizzy and unconscious, if they take it excessively, then the person who takes it will die unconsciously in their sleep. And this medicine is colorless and tasteless, with the methods and techniques of the criminal officer of the Great Song Dynasty at that time, it is impossible to see it at all, and the Shang family did not report the case, and the official was idle and willing to pull such a thankless trouble.
Cry, cry, it's not a sin to kill your own father and cry out loud.
Crying, crying, crying, all the people in Shangxing's family cried, crying for a long time, the housekeeper saw that it was not a matter to always cry like this, and stepped forward to help Shangxing and said: "Young master, mourning, we have to hurry up and do the funeral for the master." You can't put the old man on the bed like this. ”
Shang Xing came back to his soul and said: "Butler, I am now in a daze, and the funeral of the master will be handled by you." ”
So under the command of the housekeeper, the servants, long-term workers, and short-term workers began to get busy, buying longevity clothes, building funeral sheds, pulling spiritual tents, hanging couplings, carrying coffins, wearing longevity clothes, and entering the funeral. Tie paper people, tie grass horses, lead cattle, burn incense and swallow heads. Hire a suona craftsman to blow a trumpet, and ask the monk to recite the Sutra of the Past Life.
Tossed for three days, on the auspicious day of the zodiac on the eighteenth day of August of the lunar calendar, this morning with sixteen big lifting bars, carrying the heavy Nanmu coffin containing the Shang Daguanren, Shang Xing held the father's spiritual position, there was a conjuring flag to guide the way, there was a funeral procession crying, the monk hummed and chanted, and then there were paper people, paper horses, paper oxen in the array, all the way mighty, blowing and blowing, and sent the Shang Daguan to the exclusive base of the Shang family, and entered the earth for peace.
The old man left, and the young master began to be the master of the house, giving orders.
Shang Xing became the real head of the family and took care of the housekeeping.
Shang Xing didn't care about the ancestral training of not doing anything during the filial piety period, no matter that his father's body was still warm and his bones were not cold, he actually slept on the same bed with his mother Chunhong blatantly, and the chief wife of Shang Daguanren, Shang Xing's mother's angry tears fell down in strings, first with bitter persuasion, then with a sharp scolding, and then with a stick to chase and beat, but Shang Xing is Wang Ba said that he was iron-hearted, and the chief lady saw that any means and methods had no effect, so she simply came out of sight and out of mind. I got a big bowl of poison and drank it, and went to the officials to complain about the sorrow in my heart and the bitter water in my chest.
My father was killed by myself, and my mother was angry with myself, this is good, no one in the entire Shang family compound glared at Shang Xing anymore and said nothing. Shang Xing took advantage of the victory to chase and drove the second concubine of Shang Daguan and the little brother Shang Zhi's mother and son out of the Shang family compound together.
A weak young woman, a young and ignorant child, has become a homeless person who cannot return home. The mother and son had to beg along the street to live a wandering life.
When Xiao Shangzhi was ten years old, his mother could not bear the weight of poverty and survival, and fell ill all of a sudden, and soon left Xiao Shangzhi behind, bidding farewell to this hateful, hateful, and hateful world for her.
Xiao Shangzhi, who became an orphan, was even more lonely, sleeping alone in the haystack, drilling into the pigsty, digging out garbage, fighting for dog food, gritting his teeth and struggling tenaciously, strong to survive, he wanted to live and live, because he remembered the last words left by his mother in his heart, he must take back his share of the family property from Shang Xing's hands, he must take it back, take it back......
Wandering, wandering, wandering around, little Shangzhi slowly grew up in wandering,
It's also strange to say, although he wanders everywhere and can't eat every day, Xiao Shangzhi is extremely strong, a fist higher than his peers.
Wandering, running around in wandering, growing up in wandering,
After another two years, Xiao Shangzhi's life has entered the threshold of twelve years, and in the spring of this year, he wandered to Jinyang Mansion.
During his wanderings in Jinyang Mansion, Xiao Shangzhi rescued a Taoist priest who claimed to have come down from Zhongnan Mountain.
The Taoist priest's surname is Tang, and everyone calls him Tang Tianshi.
Xiao Shangzhi carried Tang Tianshi, who was seriously ill and fell on the street, back to a haystack where he was resting, and used the boiling hot water from a broken pot to save Tang Tianshi.
Tang Tianshi, who turned around from the gate of the Hades Hall and returned to the world, in order to repay this little friend, brought him to the Tongtian Temple of Wuji Ridge in Zhongnan Mountain.
Although this Tang Heavenly Master is not as famous as Zhang Zhenren, the protector of the Great Song Dynasty who lives on the top of Longhu Mountain, nor is he as strong as Luo Zhenren, who lives in seclusion in the Nine Immortals Mountain, but he is not an ordinary person, not an ordinary person, since he is not an ordinary person, it can be said that he is not an ordinary cannon, and most people who are not ordinary cannons have quirks.
After Tang Tianshi brought Xiao Shangzhi back to the Tongtian Temple of Wuji Ridge in Zhongnan Mountain, he threw it there without asking his origins, nor asking who his surname was, it is estimated that Tang Tianshi is thinking like this, what is your boy's surname and what does it have to do with me, who is love, this Heavenly Master only knows that it was you who saved me and pulled my brother from the door of the Hades Palace, so I can't let you wander around and live the days of being displaced pigs and dogs.
Although Tang Tianshi ignores Xiao Shangzhi, everyone has to have a code name, there is always someone who can call him all day long, so Tang Tianshi gave Xiao Shangzhi a name, with Tang Tianshi's surname, celebrity, one plus one equals two, Tang Liu, Xiao Shangzhi with a new name will be called Tang Liu from now on, but what makes Tang Liu puzzled is why Tianshi and his old man gave himself such a name, in order to warn Tang Liu not to forget the difficult and difficult wandering life in the past, or to say that the small river water goes to the east, The days have passed with the waves, and they will never return.
