Sister Ah shook her head and smiled, and sighed again: "This kid, listen to you the most." ”

Xu Jiheng looked at the back of the little young master, and his words were doting, "It's this kid who is sensible, who doesn't listen carefully to what he says." ”

Sister Ah sat down next to Xu Jiheng, Xu Jiheng poured a cup of tea for her, and asked, "Ah Ning fell asleep?" ”

Sister took the teacup and put it on the table, "Yes, before going to bed, I was still clamoring for my uncle, and the nurse and I were willing to sleep after a lot of coaxing." ”

Xu Jiheng smiled, and Sister Ah said: "This girl just loves to stick to you so much, seeing that her brother is often with you, she always loves to be jealous with him, and her brother doesn't pay attention to her." ”

Sister Ah took a sip of tea, and then said: "Maybe I know the name you gave her, the first thing I said was to call her uncle, but my brother-in-law can't be vinegar." ”

Xu Jiheng also took a sip of tea, his eyes were full of smiles, at that time they made a bet that the first time Yi Ning screamed would be his mother or his father, and no one thought that it would be his uncle, which made Mrs. Zhou joke for so many years.

"The little girl is very smart." Xu Jiheng said.

Sister nodded: "Xu knows that we will go out with his father to play the day after tomorrow, and I can't see you for some days, so I will become more and more sticky to you in the past two days, and I can't wait to be held by you all the time, so I have to tell her that my uncle is very busy every day, and if you mess around like this, my uncle won't like you before I stop." ”

Xu Jiheng smiled: "You can't smear me like this." ”

Sister glanced at him with disgust, and then asked, "When will I be able to come back tomorrow?" ”

Xu Jiheng thought for a while and said: "The day after tomorrow, my brother-in-law is leaving, and there are many things that need to be handed over in Qianzhuang, although there is still the master in charge, but I also want to help share it as much as possible, if it goes well tomorrow, I will be able to come back and send you one off the day after tomorrow." ”

"Don't be so anxious, we'll be back in just half a month, there are so many people on the road to take care of it, where do you need to run this trip, you need to deal with the affairs of the money village first."

On the same day, Xu Jiheng told a little story to the little young master according to his words, the whole family had dinner together, his two baby nephews quarreled and asked him to hug him, and he would be unhappy if he hugged this and that, Xu Jiheng had no choice but to hug both of them together, and he sweated after a while. Rao is like this, the two little ancestors are not satisfied, sitting in Xu Jiheng's arms, you hum me, I will suck you, but they don't look at each other properly, they don't stop, they hurt Xu Jiheng, but they made everyone laugh endlessly.

On the second day, Xu Jiheng stayed up all night and checked the huge number of account books, and it was not too late to wake up, but when Xu Jiheng rushed back, Sister A and the four of them had already set off.

A strong sadness suddenly poured into the hearts of the three of them, this was the emotion from Xu Jiheng, he was grieving.

Xu Yun's eyes were filled with heartache, he had already foreseen what would happen next, and what Xu Jiheng would experience next.

Xu Jiheng didn't know that afternoon was the last time they saw in this life, he made some small things with his own hands, and waited for their family to come back half a month later, so he took these as gifts for his little nephew and niece after returning home, so defenseless.

When he received the bad news, he was still busy in the money village, and Master Zhou had already gradually handed over part of the things in the money village to Young Master Zhou, and also gave some to Xu Jiheng, but Xu Jiheng kept using the reason that he had no intention of doing business. This time, it was Young Master Zhou who suddenly wanted to take his wife and children to play together, so he reluctantly took over the matter at hand from Young Master Zhou, afraid that something would go wrong in Qianzhuang's hands, so he spent most of the day in Qianzhuang after that. Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for him and told him that Master Zhou was still there in the matter of Qian Zhuang, and there was no need to work so hard every day, but Xu Jiheng looked very good at talking, but he was also stubborn behind his back, and he promised on his lips, but he still did not show substantive behavior.

The messenger didn't explain what happened, only said that Mrs. Zhou in the house suddenly had something to discuss with him, let him go back and take a look, Xu Jiheng didn't think much about it, and after quickly dealing with the matter at hand, he explained some things, and immediately rushed to Zhou's mansion.

He didn't know what Mrs. Zhou needed him to go over immediately, Mrs. Zhou was extremely considerate to him, even if there was anything he needed to find him on weekdays, he would wait until he was done, and he would talk to him after dinner, for fear of adding chaos when he was already busy.

Xu Jiheng began to feel uneasy for no reason, as if he had a faint premonition that something had happened, but he couldn't say what it was, he began to worry, and gradually became a little anxious, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the coachman: "Trouble faster." ”

The autumn wind is bleak, the leaves have turned yellow, he is not afraid of the cold, but at this moment he feels a coolness from the palms of his hands and soles of his feet, he rubbed his palms, felt the stickiness, he looked down and found that his palms were full of cold sweat at some point.

Xu Jiheng didn't stand firm when he got out of the car, and almost fell, but fortunately, the little guy on the side was sharp-eyed and helped him in time, Xu Jiheng didn't care about thanking him, and his panic was about to drown him, he hurriedly walked into the gate of Zhou's mansion, feeling that his legs were a little weak.

The white cloth hanging in front of the lobby came into view, Xu Jiheng suddenly stood still, he stared at the white cloth on that side, as if he had no courage to go forward.

Xu Jiheng looked back a little dazedly, he hoped that this was just an illusion of his own, he hoped that someone would tell him that what he saw was not true, but he saw a servant at the gate stepping on the ladder, as if he was hanging something on the plaque, Xu Jiheng only felt that it was black in front of him.

He rubbed his forehead and ran straight in the direction of Mrs. Zhou's house.

On the road, I kept meeting familiar maids, most of them had red eyes, and some saw Xu Jiheng as if they saw something to rely on, and called him "Young Master" in a choked voice. Some of them couldn't hold back and left tears, with emotions that Xu Jiheng couldn't understand in their eyes.

Xu Jiheng didn't want to understand.

Xu Yun looked at Xu Jiheng like this, he only felt heartbroken, he wanted to hug him, and even wanted to erase all his memories of the Zhou Mansion and his sister, at least so that Xu Jiheng would not fall into sadness and sadness like this again.

Xu Yun once asked about Xu Jiheng's family under curiosity, when he was held by Xu Jiheng from behind and stood under the pear tree together, Xu Jiheng was silent for a moment, and then chuckled, and said: "They are doing well now, I can't bear to disturb them, so I left alone." ”

Xu Yun asked curiously at that time: "Do you miss them?" ”

Xu Jiheng hugged him tighter and said, "Knowing that they can be smooth and worry-free, I won't worry too much." ”

Only now did Xu Yun know what kind of grief Xu Jiheng gave him in the answer at that time.

There were many people standing in front of Mrs. Zhou's door, Xu Jiheng really seemed to be invisible, he just wanted to see Mrs. Zhou at the moment, even if he glanced at her, it was enough to know that she was okay.

Everyone looked at him with eyes that he couldn't understand, Xu Jiheng avoided their eyes and wanted to go into the house.

Someone grabbed him, more than one, Xu Jiheng didn't look back, there seemed to be only the closed door in his eyes, he couldn't break free, and said tiredly: "I want to go in and see Madame." ”

I don't know who replied, "Madame is fine, she is not in a stable mood now, and the master is accompanying her in the house!" ”

Xu Jiheng only felt a little unsteady on his feet, he did not hesitate, and immediately chose to believe the words of others, but his heart was still carried and he did not put it down.

After a while, he realized that something was wrong, and the dizziness in his brain became more and more intense, and he vaguely heard Mrs. Zhou's mournful cry suddenly coming from the room, he seemed to understand something, he asked, and he didn't know when there was a choked voice in his voice, "My sister, she..."

There seemed to be someone around who couldn't control his crying, and after a while, Xu Jiheng's temples hurt a little, no one answered him, and he didn't ask.

He was so scared that he didn't dare to ask, and even trembled slightly.

I don't know how long this stalemate lasted, some people cried so much that they couldn't speak clearly, they said: "The young master and the young grandmother crossed the river by boat yesterday, the boat, the boat sank somehow, and the body was salvaged today, and no one on the boat survived, all died, and the little master and the eldest lady, they, they were also... Woooooo

The crying around him became louder and louder, Xu Jiheng felt as if his ears were ringing, he began to doubt the truth of the words he had just heard, Xu Jiheng took another step forward, a sharp pain hit his brain, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness like this.

The people around him were so frightened that they hurriedly supported him, afraid that the lady in the house would hear the movement, and remember not to scream.

Xu Jiheng woke up at night, and Master Zhou was sitting on the edge of his bed, and in an instant, it seemed that he had reached his twilight years, and he was not old.

Xu Jiheng didn't move after waking up, but lay straight on the bed and looked at the top of the bed, or the medicine was boiled and sent in, and when Master Zhou looked at him, he found that he had woken up.

Master Zhou motioned to the maid to put the medicine aside, he looked at Xu Jiheng's pale face and sighed.

Xu Jiheng finally moved, he stood up strongly, his throat hoarse, "Madame, are you okay?" ”

Master Zhou was a little surprised by his reaction, but he still replied quickly: "She took the medicine and took a break for the time being, Lang Zhong said that you have been working too hard lately and not resting enough, and today will be temporary... I didn't let her know about your fainting, for fear she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer. ”

Master Zhou doesn't like to see their bent backs on weekdays, but at the moment, he is lying on his back, as if he can't straighten up anymore.

Xu Jiheng couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he closed his eyes, nodded, and said, "You go to Madame, I'm fine, this family hasn't fallen yet, I won't fall again." ”

The candle flame next to the old man's eyes seemed to be red, he raised his hand with some difficulty and patted Xu Jiheng's shoulder, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Okay, what a boy!" ”

It seems to have returned to the first time when Xu Jiheng was eleven years old when Master Zhou taught him to read the account book, Xu Jiheng learned very quickly, and after carefully recognizing the account book, he looked up at Master Zhou with a serious expression, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on his face, but his eyes unconsciously revealed a little pride, as if he was seeking praise, but he didn't know it.

At that time, Master Zhou laughed, and then patted Xu Jiheng's shoulder vigorously, and said like this: "Okay! What a boy!
