In fact, not only Jiang Yashuang and his wife didn't understand the reason for the difference in Jiang Tianchi's attitude, but even Jiang Yadan muttered in his heart: "I'm twelve years older than Nineteen, but I don't know how much inferior to him!" I thought my father would come back and see me this time and it would be nice not to hang me up and smoke, but now my father seems to like me more? ”

Then I thought, "Could it be that my father just arrived, and he still doesn't know what I have been doing all these years?" He knew that the letter written by Jingzhong to Jiang Tianchi and his wife, mentioning the children of the fourth room, has always reported good news and not bad news.

Thinking about it like this, he was weak and scared, thinking that his father believed how good he was, so that he was so amiable to himself, and when he looked back and knew the truth, he might not be able to turn his face and be ruthless - but let him say all the bad things he had done all these years, he didn't dare!

In this kind of sincere fear, Jiang Yadan enjoyed his father's cold and warmth for most of the night.

When it was almost midnight, Jiang Tianchi felt sorry for his son and sent him back to settle down, Jiang Yadan was reluctant to come, and secondly, he pondered that he would brush up more filial piety now, and his true face would be exposed when he turned back, and his father could also do it lightly, where would he be?

The father and son pushed back and forth for a long time, and finally each took a step back: called someone to bring a futon in, and asked Jiang Yadan to make a temporary cover on the feet in front of Jiang Tianchi's sickbed - overlooking the eldest son's uneasy sleep in joy, Jiang Tianchi sighed silently, raised his hand and flicked it, and extinguished the lights in the distance.

Although the two sisters-in-law of the fourth room were puzzled by Jiang Tianchi's eccentricity, the most important thing at the moment was the funeral of Jibei Hou.

Originally, I thought that the fourth room would be mourned by Mrs. Zhuang's husband, and the plan of the Hou Mansion was to set up a full 7749 Heavenly Spirit Hall and then bury it - but now it is Jiang Tianchi who is back, not to mention, the worst thing is that the northern Xinjiang should have started a war!

Qin Guogong and his old wife and brother-in-law are combined, and the Jiang family has only been rich for so many decades, and they don't pay as much attention to etiquette as the serious family, and the rules of the Jiang family are still set by Qin Guogong's generation! Therefore, it was decided that as soon as Jiang Tianchi could get up, he began to arrange the burial - after the funeral, he was sent back to Northern Xinjiang to preside over the overall situation!

The next day, Jiang Tianchi woke up Jiang Yadan, the father and son were just freshening up, and Chu Yitong and Jiang Yashuang had already come to say goodbye.

Jiang Tianchi's attitude towards his daughter-in-law is the same, he doesn't have a father-in-law's shelf, his tone is quite kind, and he also said a few words that he was in a hurry to come back and couldn't bring a meeting gift, and let Mrs. Zhuang make up for it later.

Chu Yitong and Qiu Yulan didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to say anything: "Father Kangtai, the daughter-in-law is overjoyed, the daughters-in-law have not served their father and mother over the years, they are ashamed of themselves, where can they ask for their father's reward?" ”

He also said, "I should have brought my children to see my father, but I only came back thinking about my father, for fear of arguing with you......"

"I'll see you after two busy days!" Jiang Tianchi bowed his head, had breakfast under the rotation of his son and daughter-in-law, sent his daughter-in-law to Mrs. Tao to ask for peace, and took his two sons to Qin Guogong's side.

At this time, Jiang Tianqiao, Jiang Tianqi and Jiang Tianxiao were already there, watching their brothers who had been separated for more than 20 years leading their two nephews into the door, their expressions were very complicated.

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Although Jiang Tianchi said that in order to mourn his uncle, he abandoned the responsibility of guarding the land and the army, and made Qin Guogong angry enough, but now that his son has returned, scolding him to no avail...... Although Kunlun has been taking care of him in the past few years, he still suffers a lot! ”

Therefore, Qin Guogong didn't give him a look, and after receiving the salute, he let him sit down like the other brothers.

Jiang Tianchi didn't sit down immediately, but first saluted the two brothers, and then nodded to the eighth brother, and then said, "Big brother, third brother, eighth brother!" I haven't seen you for many years, but how are you doing lately? ”

Hello to your sister! This is the voice of Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianqi - not to mention the previous series of battles, they suffered losses in these two rooms, and the list that was cheated out by the brothers of the fourth room a few days ago also made them vomit blood three liters! They didn't believe it, Jiang Tianchi didn't know, and now Jiang Tianchi actually came to ask them like a good brother, if it weren't for Qin Guogong's presence, the two elder brothers would just want to spit on him!

Only eight. The old man Jiang Tianxiao obediently greeted the fourth brother, and said respectfully: "Fourth brother Lao is worried, my brother is all right!" It's the fourth brother's hard work, please take care! ”

Jiang Tianxiao's performance like this does not mean that he has become a four-room party from now on, but that he is the youngest anyway, and it is natural to be respectful to his brother, and in front of Qin Guogong, why not be happy to brush up on filial piety?

Sure enough, when Qin Guogong saw his nephew and eldest son's greetings to the second son, his face tightened and remained silent, so he frowned: "Boss, third, aren't you doing well lately?" Why does the fourth greeting you without squeaking? ”

"Back to the second uncle's words, the nephew was thinking about the third uncle, and his mind was a little trance, so he forgot to answer the fourth brother, and asked the fourth brother not to be surprised!"

"Back to his father's words, the child didn't want to say goodbye to his fourth brother back then, and when he said goodbye, he even had grandchildren, and he was distracted."

The two of them didn't dare to annoy Qin Guogong, so they hummed and chirped perfunctorily.

As soon as Jiang Tianchi heard the word "third uncle", his eyes turned red again, and he choked up: "Uncle treated me like a mountain, he died, and I couldn't serve by the side, it's really unfilial!" ”

When Qin Guogong heard this, his heart was also painful, and he said warmly: "The deceased is gone, don't be too sad!" After all, in the northern Xinjiang, without your uncle, you still have to support it! Can I still count on this old bone? ”

No matter how willful Jiang Tianchi is this time, his original intention is out of filial piety, which will definitely add points in the eyes of the elders. Especially Qin Guogong himself felt guilty about the death of Jibei Hou: "The third brother is the youngest among our brothers, but he went the earliest, and it was so sudden, I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that I sent him to Shazhou to go so before?" ”

After all, the three brothers grew up together, and if you want to say that they suffered hardships in their early years, who can have the hardships of a Kuixian man who sold himself into slavery when he was a teenager? To say that he was injured in his early years, Qin Guogong himself was also full of old wounds! How could it be that Jibei Hou was the first to go?

Qin Guogong thought about it, and the Marquis of Jibei studied and joined the army, and made meritorious contributions...... is basically repeating his own path, the only difference is that last year, in order to calm the conflict between the houses, he went to Shazhou!

This trip is not only thousands of miles away, the key is that Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing died there, and in order to take care of the overall situation, the Marquis of Jibei worked hard to frame the remnants of the Gu family and clear the four rooms...... After returning to Beijing, he had to deal with the doubts of the big house and the third room, and he exhausted his mental strength, which led him to die a few months later!

"I'm sorry for the third brother!" Thinking of his younger brother who earnestly told his nephews to live in harmony before he died, Qin Guogong couldn't say with grief in his heart, "If it weren't for the fact that my godson and nephew had no way, how could he not be able to spend his old age in peace?" ”

Qin Guogong thought so, and said that it was impossible to say that there was no resentment in the big house, third room, and fourth room that forced him to send Jibei Hou to the west, but these were the blood of his relatives, and he couldn't let Jibei Hou come back from the dead if he cleaned them up, so he didn't show it.

Now Jiang Tianchi's performance has somewhat made him feel better, but Jiang Tianqi and Jiang Tianqi made Qin Guogong feel very dissatisfied: "If it weren't for the discord between your brothers, why would I send my third brother to Shazhou to investigate?" When did you still think about the infighting-the third brother has only been gone for a few days, and he didn't even want to listen to his deathbed advice before his funeral was completed? ”

"Chi'er go and say hello to your mother, she has been thinking about you a lot over the years." Qin Guogong was unhappy, and he spoke to Jiang Tianchi very gently, not even shouting like Jiang Tianqi and Jiang Tianqi, but shouting his son's name to show affection and satisfaction, "Then go and see your aunt!" ”

Jiang Tianchi wiped the corners of his eyes, and then got up to leave.

After going out, his expression instantly regained his majesty, and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked his two sons: "After your little uncle died, the two of them have been like this?" ”

Jiang Yadan and Jiang Yashuang knew that the "two of them" he said must refer to Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianqi, and they both bowed their heads: "Back to my father's words, two uncles...... After the uncle went to go, it was always like this! ”

"Reverse nephew!" Jiang Tianchi gritted his teeth and scolded, his face was pale, "Your grandfather...... Haven't you been reprimanded? ”

"Grandfather has always been partial to the uncle, and the third uncle follows the uncle to learn, and the grandfather can't say anything if he wants to?" Jiang Yadan said disapprovingly.

Jiang Yashuang said: "Uncle and third uncle, I have always thought that the little uncle is partial to our room, and the little uncle has defended this many times before his death, but the uncle and the third uncle don't believe it. ”

These words made Jiang Tianchi's face even more ugly, his lips moved slightly, and he just said after a while: "Take your father to see your grandmother, I haven't come back for many years, and I don't know much about the road!" ”

Mrs. Tao was very happy about Jiang Tianchi's invitation - although she placed her bet on the fourth room, when Mrs. Zhuang came back, she first went to the big room to find trouble instead of asking her to be safe first, no matter how much information there was in the middle, in the end it swept her face as a mother-in-law. Now Jiang Tianchi came back to mourn the Marquis of Jibei, and after meeting his father, he came to see her stepmother, which can be said to be in accordance with the rules, and the old lady is naturally in a good mood.

Especially when Jiang Tianchi entered the door, he led his son to kowtow to her three times, thanked her for her kindness in raising her children over the years, and told her son and daughter-in-law in person never to forget Mrs. Tao's dedication - whether he was acting or not, Mrs. Tao was moved to tears, these words were actually said by Mrs. Zhuang a few months ago, but that understatement attitude, it would be good if Mrs. Tao was not angry, where did it come from?

"Chi'er is a person who understands! If only he was a man who understood! Old Madam Tao wiped the corners of her eyes and thought with relief, "Although I have a purpose for being good to eighteen and nineteen, I am not their own grandmother, there are so many juniors up and down the Jiang family, who do I hurt?" Why do you have to look at their siblings differently and work hard for them? At least half of what they are today is due to me! That Zhuang is shallow-eyed, and only thinks that I have taken advantage of her children, and I don't want to think that although I am doing this for my own sake, but for her children, isn't it the first to take benefits? Or the benefits of a lifetime! ”

Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for her and Empress Dowager Jiang's mother and daughter, who have worked tirelessly for more than ten years, Jiang Yashuang would have had so many opportunities to see big scenes and participate in big events?

Even if Mrs. Zhuang personally stayed in Beijing to take care of the children, it was impossible to give her son such a chance - no matter how hot she was, she was just an ordinary wife in the end! Which is like the Empress Dowager Jiang, whether it is the former queen or the current queen mother, her position is destined to be higher than that of Mrs. Zhuang!

Before noon that day, Mrs. Tao's tears did not stop, and when it came to the meal, she naturally wanted to stay with Jiang Tianchi for dinner, and listened to Jiang Tianchi say that Qin Guogong ordered her to go to see Mrs. Ou, so she gave up. But he still told him: "If you are free, come over often and let me take a good look, I am also old, maybe I can live for a few years, and if I look at it, I will miss ...... time."

As he spoke, he cried again.

This scene reached the ears of Qin Guogong, Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianqi, Qin Guogong was naturally pleased, although he has been suppressing Mrs. Tao and not allowing her to dominate the Yuan and concubines as a stepmother, it does not mean that he is happy to see his children despise Mrs. Tao - no matter how to say it, they are all his stepwives, husband and wife are one, and despising Mrs. Tao is also disrespectful to his father, isn't it?

"There are so many children, and the most sensible one is Chi'er, who didn't grow up in front of me!" Qin Guogong was relieved and felt sad, "It would be great if other children were so filial and sensible!" "It's okay for him to die immediately!

Compared with the touching of the elders, Jiang Tianqiao and Jiang Tianqi almost broke their stomachs, and the two brothers smashed things in unison: "Pretending to be something!" Jiang Tianchi, you are also a dignified general of Peking University, and you don't want to have the talent to be a ninth-rate actor? ! ”

This younger brother is definitely stepping on their two elder brothers, brushing the favor of the elders and the good reputation of outsiders! When they can't see it!
