Chapter 16: Is the Pride Still Alive?

If it is said that Jiang Tianchi is a mother and son in front of Mrs. Tao, he is in harmony with his mother, and he is in harmony; In front of Mrs. Ou, it was far from being so harmoniousβ€”not only discord? Old Madam Ou didn't even bother to see him!

Even though Jiang Tianli and Jiang Tianhe, a son and a daughter, rushed over and persuaded each other hard through the window, the old lady Ou in the house still smashed two words out: "No!" ”

"Mother, why are you so ruthless?" Jiang Tianli said bitterly, "You don't miss the fourth brother's pure filial piety to his father, so you can think about him just coming back from a long journey, and he will come to say hello to you before he is well!" How can you bear to do this?! ”

Before the words fell, the door opened, but the old lady Ou who appeared in the door did not mean to be soft-hearted at all, but instead covered her face with severe frost, coldly glanced at the juniors outside the door, and said sharply: "How can you bear it?!" Yes, I also want to ask Jiang Tianchi about you - not to mention that the Zhenbei Army is the foundation of my Jiang family, and there is no room for loss in the important land of Northern Xinjiang! Let's just say that you started as a soldier back then, although you have Kunlun's support for so many years, and you have fought for your own strength, but in the army, is there less strength in your robes? ! ”

"I think you only joined the army back then, you don't understand anything, and as soon as the war starts, you will be stunned and rush forward! If it weren't for a few old soldiers who thought you were young, although they didn't know your identity, but they also tried their best to pull you back, would you be where you are today?! ”

"Besides, in the battle of your general Jin, if it weren't for your personal guards who sacrificed their lives to take an arrow for you, even if you didn't die, you would have to lose half of your life, and you would have been sent back to Beijing for retirement a long time ago, and you could continue to gallop on the battlefield?!"

"Just five years ago, you inspected the front line, and were violently assassinated by a spy bought by the Hu people, although you were not seriously injured, but you were poisoned by the specialty of Hudi, and it was also the child of Bikong who led thirty elites to attack the Hu tribe at night - thirty-one people were stained with blood in their battle robes, and after returning to the camp, the least injured person was also in a coma for three days before he woke up, and nearly half of them returned home gloomily! Rao is like this, they are holding the most critical antidote in their hands, and they have saved you! ”

The more Mrs. Ou scolded, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but step forward quickly, raised her hand and slapped Jiang Tianchi hard, and scolded angrily, "So many years of love! No matter how well Kunlun treats you, he is just one person after all! How can you be worthy of the kindness of so many millions of people! It's good for you, for his death, the army, the northern frontier, all of them don't care, just run towards the capital - if you are just a general, you are the commander! There is a commander like you in the world, and he was born in our Jiang family, and he was taught by Kunlun? ! ”

"It's a shame that he died before you came back, otherwise, I would be angry with you to death!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ou couldn't help but burst into tears, "Kunlun has worked hard for so many years, teaching you to march and set up formations, working hard to build your prestige, and teaching you the way of commanding hand in hand...... I have cultivated you alone in my life, and the picture is that you can pass on the fire to the fullest and continue the reputation of my Jiang clan in Northern Xinjiang! What did you do? One condolence, ruined everything!! ”

"Uncle is as kind to his nephew as a mountain, and my nephew can't help but come back to see my uncle on his last journey!" Old Mrs. Ou is proficient in riding and archery, although she is old, her strength is still there, and she didn't leave her hand at all when she was slapped, Rao is Jiang Tianchi is military general, and he was also beaten to the point that his face was hot, and there was a faint bloody breath in his mouth, but he still stood up straight and said respectfully, "Auntie, nephew ......"

"You have to send him on his last ride and send someone back to tell me that I won't be as good as you want?!" Old Madam Ou's answer was another slap in the face, and the old man's eyes were like torches, full of disappointment and sadness, "Our Jiang family is now in power, can't we even keep your uncle's body for months or even years?!" Wait for you to calm the northern Xinjiang and then return to Beijing, and personally send Kunlun into the soil - our husband and wife have always raised you as their own son, and they will not even satisfy this wish?! ”

Seeing that Jiang Tianchi still had no intention of repenting, Mrs. Ou rushed to the door angrily! Without saying a word, she turned around and went back to the house, picked up a foot-high swing bottle, and smashed it down towards Jiang Tianchi: "Something that is not angry!" Dare to delay time here! If you are really from Kunlun, you will go back to Northern Xinjiang for me! Don't roll?! All right! Today, I'll clean up the portal for Kunlun!! ”

"Mother, slow down!" Jiang Tianli could see that Old Madam Ou had no intention of scaring people at all, she just wanted to make a heavy hand, and if this hit continued, Jiang Tianchi estimated that it would be about the same, he was so frightened that he hurriedly went up and hugged Old Madam Ou, "Mother, calm down!" Calm down! ”

Jiang Tianhe was also stunned, and while his brother hugged his mother, he pushed Jiang Tianchi hard: "Fourth brother, you go first!" Fast! Go back to the Gongfu first, and let's tell you slowly here, mother! ”

When it was messy, Jiang Yashuang looked at his father and brother, and asked softly: "Father, the child is going to persuade the little aunt?" ”

Before Jiang Tianchi could answer, Jiang Yadan reminded: "You will go up this time, don't let the little aunt also take a heavy hit-let's wait for the elders to fade before coming?" The latter sentence is encouraging Jiang Tianchi to leave.

"You go and try it, I'll go outside the hospital with your brother first." Jiang Tianchi thought for a moment, but commanded lightly.

Jiang Yadan was in a hurry: "Father, what if the little aunt ......" and smash the blow that smashed you on Jiang Yashuang?

Fortunately, although Mrs. Ou was so angry, she didn't reach the point of asking the fourth father to repay the debt, so she just pointed at Jiang Yashuang and shouted: "What are you doing here?!" Why don't you hurry up and pull your father out and help him on the horse, and tell him to go back to Northern Xinjiang immediately to preside over the overall situation?! ”

"Little aunt, let's go inside!" Jiang Yashuang glanced at Jiang Tianli - Jiang Tianli has abandoned his martial arts for many years, and he is not an opponent of the old mother at all, and he has long been a little unable to hold his mother, and he knows that his nephew is not weak, so he immediately let go of his hand when he saw this, wiped his sweat and persuaded: "Mother, listen to Nineteen's words, the fourth brother is wrong, Nineteen is always right, right?" ”

Mrs. Ou didn't want to listen to it, but Jiang Yashuang was young and strong, and her strength was high, so she coaxed and persuaded her, but her hands suddenly held her down, dragged her into the house, and closed the door with a "bang"!

The old lady was about to get angry, but Jiang Yashuang said softly: "Little aunt, do you really think that my father will go back to Beijing alone without regard for the overall situation?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Kunlun went so suddenly, what could he prepare?! Old Madam Ou was stunned, and then sneered!

"The affairs of Northern Xinjiang, my grandson hasn't gone there yet, and now I can't talk about it." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "But when I accompanied my father to visit my grandfather this morning, my grandfather was very gentle towards my father!" ”

Old Madam Ou frowned: "Gentle? ”

She knew Qin Guogong's feelings for Jibei Hou, but she also knew that Qin Guogong, who had brought the Jiang family from humble to this point, was definitely not a person who would let personal feelings overwhelm the overall situation!

And when he heard that Jiang Tianchi insisted on returning to Beijing despite the imminent flames of war in northern Xinjiang, Qin Guogong fainted on the spot, and almost caused a direct fight between the Jiang family's houses! If Jiang Tianchi appeared in front of Qin Guogong, Qin Guogong would probably have to strangle him with his own hands! It's only been a few days, and when I see Jiang Tianchi again, he actually has a gentle attitude?

......Seeing that Mrs. Ou had calmed down, Jiang Yashuang hurriedly let go of her hand, and the old lady walked to the top and sat down, casually pointing to the seat not far away for him to sit, frowning, "This Beihu invasion is the fourth child's calculation?" ”

"My father's insistence on returning to Beijing day and night this time is probably already in the plan!" Jiang Yashuang sighed, "But it happened to coincide with the death of my little uncle - my father should have made other arrangements to make Beihu believe that he had to return to Beijing, and he did so suddenly!" ”

Old Mrs. Ou thought about it, although Jiang Tianchi was beaten and scolded by herself, she was neither ashamed, nor did she have any intention of worrying about Northern Xinjiang, it seemed that she was confident? She breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case...... I've wronged him! ”

But then his face sank again, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?!" He likes to be pumped! Do you need me to slap him again later?! ”

"Father, I think there is any arrangement that is inconvenient to say in public?" Jiang Yashuang could only guess, because he didn't know anything eitherβ€”but he didn't think he would guess wrong, Jibei Hou and Jiang Tianchi might really be like father and son, and in Jiang Tianchi's mind, this uncle's status even surpassed that of Qin Guogong. But think about who Jiang Tianchi is?

is in the prime of his youth, but he resolutely abandoned the prosperity of Beijing, and as the son of the commander, he climbed step by step from the lowest soldier to the position of commander - not to mention his perseverance, ability, and hard work...... Just say the reason why he did this: it sounds like ambition, and frankly it is ambition!

At a time when the brothers are dying and fighting for the interests of the DPRK and China, Jiang Tianchi has already pointed to the foundation of the Jiang family!

Jiang Yashuang would never think that such an ambitious and far-sighted father would be a person who was impulsive enough to ignore the overall situation - there was no room for such a brainless commander in the Zhenbei Army!

So Jiang Tianchi insisted on returning to Beijing like a brain-dead, except that he was in Kengbei Hu at all, what else can be explained?

"A few days ago, my grandfather was stunned, and I discussed privately with my starling, and took the opportunity to pit the big house and the third room, but I didn't expect the father and son to go together...... Father even set a trap for Beihu! Jiang Yashuang's heart sighed slightly, and she raised her head and said, "If the little aunt is not at ease, why don't you ask your grandfather in person later?" ”

…… After Mrs. Ou visited Qin Guogong, she really didn't scold Jiang Tianchi again, but she didn't send anyone to visit him, just like she hadn't beaten this nephew.

After Mrs. Tao knew about these events, she couldn't cry or laugh, and sent Hu's mother to comfort Jiang Tianchi: "Your aunt has this temper, and she hasn't changed it for many years, you should take care of it more!" She's good for you too! ”

Jiang Tianchi, who was letting his sons wait to apply medicine to his face, didn't mean to bother with his aunt, thanked his stepmother for her concern, turned his head and never said anything - of course others didn't dare to say anything.

Because he was slapped in the face by Mrs. Ou, it is not good to appear in front of people when he is injured in this place, so he originally decided to go out of the funeral the next day, and delayed it for two days, and when his face was no longer unusual, this is the official start - this day is extraordinarily grand, Qin Guogong personally saw him off, and the queen mother took the emperor and the queen to the Jibei Hou Mansion to incense, and the whole capital was shocked by this funeral!

The funeral procession, which is more than ten miles long, includes the entire court and most of the clan. Surrounded by a heavy coffin, slowly moved to the outskirts of the city - after consultation with the Jiang family, it was decided to hide the news of the death of the Marquis of Jibei from the man of Kui County, so that the Marquis of Jibei could not be buried in his homeland for the time being, so he could only be buried in Gyeonggi first, and then the man of Kui County would also go in the future, and then let the six rooms help the soul to return to his hometown.

This is miserable for the dignitaries and nobles who participated in the funeral, if the coffin of the Marquis of Jibei was to be sent back to Kui County, then according to the rules, they were sent to the ten mile pavilion outside the city - it was a send-off place for people to come and go, and all the way was a neatly repaired official road, so easy to go, it was not troublesome at all!

But what about now? In order to show his attention to the Jiang family, he had to accompany him all the way to the temporary cemetery selected on the mountain!

It's okay to be young and strong, like Xue Chang's age, when he looks up at the winding and rugged mountain road at the bottom of the mountain, he wants to curse - if Lao Tzu can still climb this kind of mountain now, do you still need to bet on Qiu Jinglan? It must be wholeheartedly waiting for his grandson to heal!

Fortunately, Qin Guogong is not old and confused, so he really asked a courtier like Xue Chang, who has been a civil official all his life, to go up the mountain together, maybe how many more holes will be dug on this mountain?

So before letting people help him up the mountain, he specially told Xue Chang and other people who were old and had really inconvenient legs and feet to stay at the bottom of the mountain. Wait for the Jiang family to bury Jibei Hou, and then go back to Beijing to eat the last funeral banquet after going down the mountain.

"Xue Xiang!" Xue Chang stayed in the temporary pavilion at the foot of the mountain for a while, and felt that there were many people who were depressed, so he got up and walked in the forest next to him...... What does Xue Xiang think? ”

Xue Chang looked at the person who came and frowned slightly: "Not well." ”

"Why is Prime Minister Xue so precautionary?" The man smiled faintly, "Back then, everyone from the Jiang family's Tianzi generation rushed to enter the court, including Jiang Tianqi, who was mentioned by Mrs. Tao, was reluctant to be prosperous in Beijing and unwilling to suffer in the army!" Only Jiang Tianchi is far-sighted and ambitious...... He designed Beihu this time, just in time for the death of the Marquis of Jibei...... It's just that if the Marquis of Jibei hadn't died, what would he mean by coming to such a hand? ”

"If you're curious, why don't you ask Jiang Tianchi? After all, ......" Xue Chang was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the man: "Lead the snakes out of the hole, even if you can't completely annihilate Beihu, you have to beat them to a big loss!" Unable to make a mistake in a short period of time! ”

Xue Chang's face turned gloomy: "Enough!" ”

The man still couldn't stop talking: "At first glance, it's a good thing, but Jiang Tianchi's position is as stable as a mountain, and he can't be promoted, why rush to make such a great achievement?" It's better to keep Beihu and slowly figure it out, after all, he still has a young son Jiang Yashuang who is recognized as a successor and needs to be cultivated, isn't it? ”

"What is the matter with his hands in a hurry...... What kind of eyesight Xue Xiang has, how could he not see it? ”

The man saw Xue Chang turn around and start leaving, and hurriedly followed, although his voice was soft, but he was heartfelt: "Back then, when the Gu family coerced the Queen Mother, and forced Xue Xiang to surrender to Cheng with the Xue family, Xue Xiang once said that in this life, he only knew how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but not to be loyal to the Queen Mother...... Now Xue Xiang's arrogance, I don't know if it's still there?! ”
