September 18 of the fifth year of the great cause, it is the day of the burial of the eldest grandson, the funeral is very grand, in addition to the clansmen of the eldest grandson and relatives and friends from all over the country, when the court officials, including the royal family have sent people to the funeral, after the coffin of the eldest grandson Sheng was put into the tomb, the Gao family, who had been very calm before this, fell down softly as if he had been drained of his spirit.
The eldest grandson girl standing beside her was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly reached out to catch it, but the eldest grandson girl herself was still a girl less than nine years old, although she would take out more than an hour every day to practice martial arts and practice arrows in the past few years, and her physique was much stronger than that of a little lady of the same age, but it was not enough for her to easily support an adult's body, plus she had not had a day of rest in the past few days, and the double attack of sadness and exhaustion made her steps flutter, she stretched out her hand, not only did not stabilize Gao's body, Instead, he let himself fall backwards with him.
Fortunately, Li Erlang in the funeral procession has been silently paying attention to her, he is only about five or six steps away from the eldest grandson's mother and daughter, seeing that the eldest grandson girl is about to be taken and falls, he immediately took three steps and two steps over, and reached out in time to hold her and Gao stable, Li Erlang is now eleven years old, close to one meter six, long-term martial arts practice has made him extremely strong, he stretched out his hand, the eldest grandson girl suddenly stabilized her figure, and even with Gao did not slide down again.
Li Erlang's move, immediately alarmed the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson girl who were not far away, the two saw that Gao's situation was not right, and hurriedly greeted them, Li Erlang saw the two stretched out their hands, so he quietly retreated, although he married the eldest grandson and the second girl, but did not marry, whether it was the eldest grandson girl or Gao's future mother-in-law, he was inconvenient to have more physical contact.
Seeing that her mother was being held steady by her brother and eldest sister, the eldest grandson raised her red and swollen eyes and whispered to Li Erlang, "Thank you." “
Li Erlang looked at her haggard face, and then looked at her petite body that was obviously tired and weak, but her back was still straight, his heart trembled, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart, which made him suddenly have a desperate impulse to protect the smart and stubborn little girl in front of him under his wing, and block all the wind and rain and exhaustion for her, he quietly looked at the eldest grandson girl, and said softly: "Erniang, there is no need to thank you between you and me." “
The eldest grandson girl was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks involuntarily turned red, and she quietly looked away, the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest girl saw the interaction between the two children, if in normal times, they had to make a few jokes, but now they are not in this mood, the eldest grandson Wuji carried his mother on his back, and the eldest grandson and the second girl helped each other by the side, and walked quickly towards the house.
Gao's coma for half a day before waking up, she and the eldest grandson Sheng flounder love, the two of them have been together for sixteen years, the sudden death of her husband has caused her a blow is not trivial, plus these days all kinds of trivial things disturb each other, in front of people she has to show a housewife should be calm and self-controlled, mental and physical strength is really to the limit, the eldest grandson Sheng just buried, she can no longer hold on.
"Auntie, you're awake." As soon as Gao opened his eyes, he couldn't help but feel sour at the surprise of his daughter's eyes mixed with fear and worry, during the time she was in a coma, the eldest grandson and the second girl, the eldest grandson Wuji, and the child Xuantong were all around the bed, and the eldest grandson and the second girl had been holding her hand tightly for half a moment.
"A-Niang is fine, Guanyin, Auntie, Auxiliary, Xuantong, you all go to rest." Gao glanced at the children in front of him and said in a dumb voice.
"Auntie, I'll stay here and sleep with you." When the other three left, the eldest grandson girl stubbornly held Gao's hand.
"Okay, if you want to stay, I'll stay here, Guanyin, don't be afraid, A-Niang is really fine, you and the auxiliary machine are still young, A-Niang won't leave you alone." Gao drank a bowl of porridge under the service of Yahuan, recovered a little bit of vitality, she looked at the fear and worry in her daughter's eyes, where did she not know her heart, her heart was sour, she couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke her head.
Gao's spirit and body are a little overdrawn, and the eldest grandson and the second girl said a few words and fell asleep after a while, the eldest grandson is also very tired these days, seeing his mother sleep, not long after, she didn't even freshen up, just lay down on the side of her mother's bed and fell asleep, and finally the maid who served couldn't see it, quietly helped her remove her coat and shoes, and put her on the bed.
Gao's disease, enough to be sick for six or seven days before relieving her senses, the first seven days of the eldest grandson Sheng, she was able to get out of bed, Gao's first two days of illness, the eldest grandson girl was afraid that the eldest grandson Anye and his wife would come to find fault, but what surprised her was that in the past six or seven days, the eldest grandson and his wife did not even show their faces, so that the eldest grandson girl's mother and son had a few days of clean time.
"Guanyin, auxiliary machine, you said, have you two brothers figured it out and won't trouble us anymore?" After the first seven days of Changsun Sheng's passed, more than ten days passed, and one morning, Gao said to the children who accompanied her to dine with her, in the past 20 days, although the eldest grandson Anye and his wife have not come to ask for peace, but they have not come to find fault, which makes Gao unconsciously give birth to a sense of luck that maybe his stepson will no longer embarrass them.
(During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the legislation on the establishment of filial piety and the system was quite strict, and the parents passed away, and the direct parents and children had to keep their filial piety for 27 months. )
"Auntie, I don't know what the second brother's plans are, if he is really willing to live in harmony with us, it would be great." The eldest grandson girl was silent for a while before she spoke, and the eldest grandson Wuji was quietly drinking the porridge in his bowl without speaking, Gao glanced at a pair of children, sighed slightly, and did not say anything more.
In the blink of an eye, Changsun Sheng's Qiqi passed, these days the eldest uncle of the eldest grandson girl, Changsun Ren's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't get up in bed for most of the month, not to mention the court, he doesn't even have the strength to speak, the eldest grandson girl and his brother Wuji have gone to see him twice, and every time he passes, he will say two novels: "If there is anything difficult at home, remember to go to him as soon as possible." “
The eldest grandson brother and sister are grateful and uncomfortable, looking at his appearance, it is hard to say whether he can survive this hurdle in front of him, even if there is really something, where can he bear to trouble him, the eldest grandson Sheng passed away on September 15, after the seventh and seventh, the wheel of time slipped to the fourth day of November, and on the morning of the sixth day of November, the eldest grandson girl and Wuji were accompanying Gao to breakfast. (Since the death of the eldest Sun Sheng, the siblings have come over every day to have breakfast with Gao.) )
The eldest grandson Anye and his wife Chen didn't even let people report, and directly broke into Gao's yard, Gao looked at the menacing couple, and couldn't help frowning, she gently put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at the two of them and said: "Anye, Chen, you couple didn't even say hello, and broke into my yard directly, what do you want to do?" “
"Gao's, we don't say secret words, now that my father is gone, I have no blood relationship with you, and you still expect me to give you a junior salute, is that in vain? I came here today to tell you that it is better for you mother and son to get to know each other, and it is better for you to take the initiative to leave my eldest grandson's mansion. The eldest grandson Anye put his hands behind his back, and looked at the Gao mother and son with a domineering expression.
