、、、、、、、、、、 Jiang Chong hadn't seen Du Qian yet, so he invited the people who took care of Jiang Changzhong, and also sent his closest people to the door with Jiang Changzhong's entourage to report the news first. As soon as he saw the filial piety that Chang Sui was carrying, Jiang Chong didn't need to ask, he already knew what was going on. After hearing the reason and informing Jiang Changzhong that the coffin would arrive in about five days, he looked at the bricks under his feet numbly and did not say a word for a long time.

After a while, the entire Jiang Mansion knew that the second duke, Jiang Changzhong, was gone. And the way of death was very wretched, he did not die on the battlefield, nor did he die at the hands of the enemy, but because of a drunken brawl, he was killed by a knife by his soldiers. The time was on the fifth day after his last meritorious service. The killer fled overnight, only to be found to have been gnawed by a hungry wolf and reduced to half of his head and a mutilated foot. Many people testified that Jiang Changzhong was the first to bully others, and said that he had been bullying everyone for a long time on weekdays, and that person was the worst bullied, in other words, he was completely to blame. It's true that people are divided into six or nine classes, but rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention that this person is a reckless man who has no father and no mother, and he is not hungry when he is full? Who is he afraid of?

In such a situation, there can be nothing more. Jiang Changzhong's superiors were willing to let people travel a long distance to escort Jiang Changzhong's coffin back, and they also sent someone to explain the situation, which was already benevolent and righteous. Jiang Chong did not react to the persuasion of Du Qian and others and the grief of Jiang Changyi and others. No matter how bad it is, in the end, it is his blood and bones, and he is sad; But this way of dying lost his last face, and he was also sad.

But there was no time for him to remember and grieve. When the old lady heard the bad news, she was lost in a mouthful of phlegm, and she rolled her eyes and fainted, and she was busy pouring ginseng soup and asking for a doctor. And the first thing Mrs. Du did when she came to her senses was to find him like crazy and fight with him: "You compensate my son!" You pay my son! He's finally dead, and you've got it! "Why didn't he die! If it weren't for the fact that he had to send Jiang Changzhong to the army, Jiang Changzhong would still be alive and well at the moment. She begged him so much, and he was always hard-hearted. She hates, hates.

Jiang Zhong insensitively let her push. Jiang Changyi was so sad that he couldn't speak, while Xiao Xuexi took a handkerchief to cover his face and pretended to cry, secretly watching the excitement, and neither of them persuaded him. However, Du Qian and Dugu thought about Mrs. Du, she was gone, and she had no support, how could she tear her face with Jiang Zhong again? At that moment, the two of them stopped and persuaded them, and dragged Mrs. Du back to the room, analyzed the pros and cons with her, and persuaded her to mourn and change without mentioning it.

Madame Du didn't listen to anything, she just cried like crazy. When she cried to the back, she couldn't make a sound at all, just sobbing mechanically. She no longer knew what she was crying for, but she felt that she couldn't stop grieving. made Dugu cry with her, but Du Qian was sad.

The long and short cry reached Yingxue Hall, and it was a cold war. Jiang Changyang asked Lin's mother for some silk wool for her ears: "I'll go out and have a look." You're out and beware of being bitten by a mad dog. I'll send you home later, and it's not appropriate to stay here for long. He also ordered Mother Lin and others to take care of the garden, pack their luggage, and don't let people in easily. Mrs. Du is only afraid that she has gone crazy at this time, and she may bite everywhere; You have to prevent others from reaching out in chaos.

Seeing that he was calm and steady, Peony couldn't help but have a guess, so he turned his back on Mother Lin and the others and whispered, "Did you already know?" "He is well-connected, and it is not uncommon for him to know about this in advance.

Jiang Changyang didn't admit it: "How would I know? It's just that I'm used to seeing life and death. Okay, cover the quilt and sleep for a while, and the outside will not do your business. As he spoke, he tightened the quilt for the peony.

Peony obediently closed her eyes. Jiang Changyang touched her cheek and walked out in contemplation. Jiang Changzhong's death was really clean and neat.

The doctor was giving the old lady an inquire, and Jiang Chong sat on the side infinitely sadly, not knowing where his mind belonged, and he didn't even know that Jiang Changyang walked in. Jiang Changyi cautiously called him: "Dad, the eldest brother is here." ”

Jiang Chong stiffly raised his head and looked at Jiang Changyang, his expression a little dazed. Jiang Changyang sat down to himself: "When will the people arrive?" ”

Jiang Chong's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Changyi said in a low voice: "It is said that it will be within five days." Second brother, he is so wronged......" He suddenly choked up and couldn't say any more.

Jiang Changyang looked at him coldly and said clearly: "Brother, please mourn." Now it's up to you in the Guogong Mansion. ”

The Guogong Mansion depends on him?! Although it was a long-term wish, Jiang Changyi was still so frightened that he put back his tears and sorrow, he quickly raised his head to look at Jiang Chong, and saw that Jiang Chong had no reaction, so he quickly glanced at Jiang Changyang, and then glanced away with some weakness, and said in a low and clear voice: "Big brother, what should we do now?" ”

Jiang Changyang said in a deep voice: "The person is still on the top, don't forget if you don't know, now that you know, you can't let him go home alone, you have to pick him up." ”

Let him pick up Jiang Changzhong? Jiang Changyi thought quickly, and before he could speak, Xiao Xuexi, who was standing on the side, pulled him hard, hinting that he refused. That dead woman deserved retribution! Why did he ask Jiang Changyi to pick up people and do that thankless thing, but he, Jiang Changyang, stayed and easily dressed up in front of everyone? If you want to be nosy so much, go by yourself!

Jiang Changyi was upset, and he didn't know whether he should obey Jiang Changyang's orders, and he was pulled hard by Xiao Xuexi, and he was even more annoyed, and couldn't help glaring at her viciously. Yesterday's premonition seemed to be verified, Jiang Changyang must have known something, but he wasn't sure what Jiang Changyang thought, how much he knew, and what he planned. He just felt that no matter how much he pleased, Jiang Changyang didn't seem to want to deal with him.

Jiang Changyang saw the small movements of his husband and wife in his eyes, and said expressionlessly: "If you don't want to go, it's okay, I'll send your sister-in-law back to Qujiangchi first, and I'll go." ”

Jiang Changyang has a grudge against Mrs. Du, and he has never been in harmony with Jiang Changzhong, he has to pick it up, how can his younger brother, who has always had a good relationship with Jiang Changzhong, not go? How can the eldest brother go out to pick up people, but the younger brother is at home to hold the door for the funeral? Wouldn't that be tantamount to exposing all his ambitions? When Mrs. Du saw him holding up the door and showing his face in front of people, she would definitely point the finger at him, so it was better to hide outside to pick up Jiang Changzhong's coffin. Jiang Changyi hurriedly said: "I'll go!" I'll go! ”

Jiang Changyang glanced at him lightly, and said in an uncompromising tone: "Then prepare to set off immediately." Sooner rather than later. ”

As soon as Jiang Changyi figured out this section, he seemed to be extraordinarily cooperative, and hurriedly asked Xiao Xuexi to clean up his things. The husband and wife went back to the room one after another, and Xiao Xuexi said, "You can do whatever he tells you to do?" You were raised by him? I finally had this opportunity, but you will only be pressed by him......"

Jiang Changyi glared at her gloomily, and said fiercely: "Idiot, if you don't understand, shut up for me!" "It seems to be done cleanly now, but if someone accidentally sees through it while doing it, it will be a nightmare for a lifetime. Does Jiang Changyang know? Do you know? Jiang Changyi pulled his collar irritably.

Xiao Xuexi looked at him from the side, feeling that his temper had become more and more strange recently, and his whole person was gloomy. didn't dare to provoke him in the end, held countless complaining words in his throat, and angrily ordered people to clean up his things without mentioning them.

Jiang Chong saw that Jiang Changyang arranged for Jiang Changyi to do things, his eyes finally lit up, and he looked at Jiang Changyang hopefully: "Da Lang, you ......"

"The dead are greater." Jiang Changyang didn't look at him with a straight face: "Danniang is not suitable to live here, I will first order someone to build the mourning hall and I will send her back." I've already asked someone to inform the clan, and someone will come and help prepare for the funeral. You better go and measure with your wife, and set the cemetery first. ”

When Jiang Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but be gloomy. Jiang Changyang is looking at him pitifully, otherwise how could he be willing to care about him after throwing down such cruel words after that kind of thing happened yesterday? Let Jiang Changyi go to greet Jiang Changzhong's coffin, I am afraid that he also intends to throw everything to Jiang Changzhong, as long as the funeral here is laid out, Jiang Changyang will not appear here again. This will not work! I no longer have a concubine, and I can't lose Jiang Changyang anymore. Although Jiang Changyang speaks very hard every time he speaks, and his posture is also strong, he always faces the house at critical moments. What does this mean? His face is disgusting and soft! And it's also a big knowledge! Jiang Chong stood up suddenly: "You are the eldest brother!" It's all your business! How can you throw them all to the clan and the righteous son! What does he know? ”

Give an inch and take a mile! Jiang Changyang narrowed his eyes and looked at him silently.

Jiang Zhong and Jiang Changyang looked at each other for a moment, and finally lost the battle. He and Jiang Changyang are like this, it is impossible for this generation to go back to the past, this son is no longer his son, and it can no longer be recovered. He sat down abruptly and waved his hand at Jiang Changyang weakly. Jiang Changyang looked at the old lady who had just woken up and started crying again, got up and walked out.

However, in an hour, with the help of the Jiang family who rushed to hear the news, the mourning hall was quickly erected, and all affairs were carried out in an orderly and rapid manner. Jiang Changyang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly took Peony and the others back to the Qujiangchi Courtyard, and then for several days, he closed the door at home and talked with Peony.

After Mrs. Du didn't eat or drink for two days, she finally regained her spirits, began to drink medicine and eat, and carefully selected a cemetery for Jiang Changyi in silence to prepare for the funeral and burial. When Xiao Xuexi saw her like this, she avoided her very familiarly, not daring to provoke her.

In the early morning of the fifth day, Jiang Changyi finally brought Jiang Changzhong's coffin back.
