Pei Jue got up and left, and in the room, only Mrs. Yong'an Hou, who was extremely sober, and Pei Zhang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, were left.

Pei Zhang cried for a while, but at this time the tears were dry, and his eyes were red.

"Ah Zhang," Mrs. Yong'anhou's memoristically gaze stopped on her son's face: "My greatest wish is to see you marry a wife and have children." Unfortunately, I will never see that day again. ”

"You have been stubborn since you were a child, you like Cheng Jinrong, unless she doesn't marry. I originally thought that marrying her into the Pei family would also be able to trap her in the Pei family's house all the time. Being able to make you get your wish is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. ”

"I didn't think that so many things would happen later. Cheng Jinrong is also ruthless, she grew up with you, and her friendship for more than ten years is no match for that old thing. After she left Pei's house, she never looked back. The affection between me and you is also cut off. turned around and married into the He family. ”

"I know that you are in pain in your heart, but you let your father ask you for the Ye family's relatives. I originally thought that if I wanted to marry you with a higher and better family background, you would forget Cheng Jinrong. ”

"I did it wrong. Zhang, I shouldn't have forced you with your father. ”

"You're twenty years old, and you still don't even have a daughter-in-law. Later, when I arrived in Lingnan, I heard that there were all natives, and I couldn't understand the words. What should you do in the future? You can't go without a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life. ”

When it was time to die, what his mother was most worried about was his life's events.

Pei Zhang's eyes were full of pain and sadness, he held his mother's hand hard, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Mother, you live well." I listen to you for everything. ”

"I forgot to let my cousin marry a girl that my mother liked. In the future, I will have more children. The mother lives well and waits for the day when she teases her grandson. ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou listened attentively, and her eyes shone brightly. It's as if you've seen this with your own eyes.

After a while, Mrs. Yong'an Hou opened her mouth: "Okay, when that day comes, you remember to burn me a few more incense." I rejoice in thee beneath the Yellow Springs. ”

Pei Zhang's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak at all.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou continued: "I'm dead, don't be sad. Back then, your father made a big mistake, and I was also an accomplice. Your father threatened Pei Wanru in the secret room, so I hugged the young Cheng Jinrong and pinched her hard, making her cry and scream, forcing Pei Wanru to bow her head. ”

Later, Pei Wanru entered the palace. I went into the palace every month to 'ask for peace', and always used the child as a handle to threaten her. Pei Wan loves her daughter like her life, and for the safety of Cheng Jinrong, she has to obey us in everything. There is also Cheng Wang, who went to the border army as a military doctor for more than ten years. The father and daughter have also been separated for more than ten years. ”

"Now that I think about it, we two husband and wife are really evil. A good family, we broke up. ”

"For more than two months, as soon as I close my eyes every night, I dream of Pei Wanru's desperate appearance. will also dream of the young Cheng Jinrong crying quietly to kiss his mother. ”

"Also, I dream of your father every day. I dreamed that he was rotten and stench, and he took my hand and asked me to go with him. ”

"What you sow, you reap. These are the causes of evil that we planted back then, and now we have all suffered evil retribution. Your father will not die well, and I deserve to die in another country today. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yong'an Hou's breathing suddenly became rapid, her face was flushed, and the light in her eyes was penetrating.

She used her last strength, grabbed Pei Zhang's hand tightly, and shouted the last sentence: "Azhang, don't forget to promise me." You must marry a wife and have children, and pass on the incense of the Pei family......"

Then, the light in Mrs. Yong'anhou's eyes went out, and the clenched hand slowly loosened and landed on the side of the bed.

Her eyes didn't close, still looking in Pei Zhang's direction.

Pei Zhang's eyes were full of grief, but he didn't cry anymore.

He knelt down on the edge of the bed and whispered, "Mother, I promise you." I will marry a wife and have children, and inherit the Pei family. Close your eyes in peace! ”

Mrs. Yong'anhou's eyes finally closed and went west.

……

Mrs. Yong'an Hou closed her eyes in the middle of the night, and the news of her death spread quickly.

The Pei clan soon learned of the bad news and cried in low voices. Among them, two of the ladies who were friends with Mrs. Yong'an Hou entered the house crying, changed into clean clothes for Mrs. Yong'anhou, and sorted out her appearance.

Commander Li also rushed to hear the news.

Pei Zhang's eyes were full of sorrow, and he could barely hold on: "Commander Li, I want to find a coffin and bury my mother." ”

During the exile, it was inconvenient to find the coffin. The three Pei clansmen who died in front were all wrapped in a straw mat and buried. Pei Zhang now just wants his mother to lie down in the coffin and be buried.

Commander Li didn't say a word: "Okay." It's about twenty miles away from the nearest town. So I had them ride and buy a coffin. ”

Pei Zhang arched his hand and bowed deeply: "Thank you Commander Li." ”

"Childe doesn't have to be polite." Commander Li helped Pei Zhang up, and his words were sincere, revealing sympathy: "Life and death are fateful." The dead are gone, but the living must live. Please also mourn on the child's day! It is for the sake of so many Pei clan people, please also ask Gongzi to take care of himself. ”

Pei Zhang nodded slightly and did not speak.

It turns out that the loss of a mother is so painful.

Cheng Jinrong lost his mother before he could remember. In those ten years, she never knew what mother's love was like. How did she get over those days?

If someone harmed his own mother like this, how could he forgive him?

Cheng Jinrong did nothing wrong. With such hatred between them, they have long had no possibility of being husband and wife.

"Big brother," Pei Jue's hoarse voice sounded in his ears: "I will stay by my mother's side with you." ”

Pei Zhang raised his head slowly and blankly, looked at Pei Jue for a moment, and then nodded.

Pei Jue had red eyes and knelt on the side of the bed with Pei Zhang.

It wasn't until dawn that more than a dozen Imperial Forest Army guards who went out dragged the coffin back. Fortunately, there was a wooden cart, and the thick coffin was carried on the wooden cart and then pulled back by horse.

Pei Zhang and Pei Jue lifted the body of Mrs. Yong'an Hou together and put it in the coffin.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou had just died, and her face was not yet blue, as if she was asleep, and her face was calm.

The moment he closed the coffin, Pei Zhang's eyes suddenly turned red.

Pei Jue couldn't hold back and cried.

Hundreds of Pei clan members knelt down and wept bitterly.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou is the wife of the Pei family, and this death, the Pei clan is like having no backbone. Thinking of the pain of exile and the uncertainty of the future is even more sad. For a while, the cry shook the sky.

Pei Zhang didn't cry anymore.

All the tears that should have been shed have been shed. Now, he wants to bury his mother himself. Then continue on your journey.
