The third son?

"You said Gongxi Chu is dead?" Hua Ronghua suddenly remembered the dream she had when she took a nap two months ago, in the dream, Gong Xichu looked at herself with blood and smiled, at that time she felt that Gong Xichu might have had an accident, and asked Mo An to quickly write to the side to see if he really had an accident.

But now Mo An's reply has not arrived, and the bad news from the capital has arrived. Hua Ronghua can't tell what mood he is in now, but he feels as if his heart has sunk into the water all of a sudden, he can't breathe, his throat is choked, his nose is sour, the liquid in his eyes seems to have suddenly increased in weight, and his body suddenly loses strength.

"Young lady!" Niu Ya heard the movement and came out of the stove room, just when she saw Hua Ronghua almost falling, she hurriedly helped her to sit on the stone bench on the side, and asked worriedly: "Young lady, are you okay?" ”

Hua Ronghua raised his hand and wiped his eyes, and asked Gou, "Is the news true?" ”

Steward Gou cried and nodded, "It was brought back from the ancient city of Jin in the north, Yuan Shuai was defeated, and the life and death of the third prince are unknown." There are also people in the court who slander the third prince and say that he has defected to the enemy and committed treason, and the uncle is also going to remove the third prince from the family tree, the old lady fell ill in a fit of anger, young lady, you can go back quickly, otherwise, the old lady may really not be able to stand it! ”

Hearing all this, Mo An next to him was stunned, and stammered: "Really, really fake?" If you dare to curse my master, I'll be with you! ”

Gou was in a hurry, "What am I doing with the third son?" That's what the military newspaper said about it from the north. ”

"Huh?" Mo An was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a thud and began to howl Tao and cry, "Master, why did you leave like this!" What can I do if I leave my minions behind? ”

"Shut up!" His crying dissipated the sadness in Hua Ronghua's heart, and after carefully recalling his words, Hua Ronghua suddenly felt a little strange, "You just said that Gongxi Chu doesn't know whether he is alive or dead?" ”

"yes!"

Hua Ronghua glared at him, "Isn't that just missing?" What kind of mourning did you come to report? Why did you say he was killed in battle? Don't complain about Mo An saying that you cursed Gong Xichu, I think you are deliberately looking forward to his death on the battlefield, right? ”

"No, no, I'm wronged!" Steward Gou was frightened, and waved his hand again and again: "Third young lady, that's the case, the third prince led people into the trap of Beirong that day, and the thousands of people who survived in the end were only three hundred, and Mo Yan also wrote a letter, saying that he hid the third prince in a place at that time, and then disguised himself as the third prince and wanted to lure away the soldiers of Beirong, but when he finally went back with the rescuers to find it, the third prince was gone, and the corpses of the soldiers and Beirong soldiers who were left to protect him were all around. ”

"That doesn't mean he's dead, does it? Maybe he fled? After all, his martial arts are very powerful! Hua Ronghua asked expectantly.

Steward Gou cried even more when he heard this, "Young lady, the third prince was injured before this!" Not to mention escaping, even walking is a problem! You said that the third son couldn't move, how could he disappear in the end? Or do you kill those Beirong people? ”

Hua Ronghua shouted anxiously: "But when a person dies, there must be a corpse, right?" Now that we can't see anyone alive or dead, you just let us go back to Beijing to mourn, how can we run? ”

"Uh," Steward Gou shrunk his neck, "the third young lady, the old lady has already decided to set up a well-dressed mound for the third son, just wait for the two little sons to go back and kneel and worship the third son." ”

"Clothed mounds?" Hua Ronghua sneered, "Gong Xichu is not necessarily dead, why are you so anxious to cover his coffin?" Could it be that you are so looking forward to his death? ”

Steward Gou sniffed and explained: "Young lady, it's not that the old lady and the slave are looking forward to the death of the third son, but if you don't bury the third son's clothes and grave in the ancestral grave of the Gongxi family as soon as possible, and wait for the uncle to say that the third son will be removed from the clan in the Tong clan, then the third prince will really become a lonely ghost?" ”

Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the ancients valued the clan, and if a person gave a person to the clan, he didn't need to be told by others, and he would die of shame. However, let her two children go back to worship a bunch of clothes, how Hua Ronghua was unwilling, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If we get rid of the clan, we will get rid of the clan, and it's a big deal that we will build our own clan in the future." ”

"This, but ......" Gou was stunned, he never expected the third young lady to have such an attitude, the old lady was so anxious when she heard about this that she almost didn't get up!

"You are so anxious to conclude that Gongxi Chu is dead, what do you let him think if Gongxi Chu comes back alive in the future? Could it be that these people in the family can't tolerate him anymore? The more Hua Ronghua said, the more reasonable she felt, and in the deepest part of her heart, there was an idea that if she really took this opportunity to break off the relationship with Bofu, in this way, would the two children not be oppressed and bullied by the people of Bofu in the future?

"This, this ......" Gou Guan was asked for a while, and he faintly felt that what Hua Ronghua said was right, and after a while, he felt that he should let the third prince enter the ancestral grave as soon as possible, and for a while his heart was very conflicted.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the childish words of the two children at the door of the house also reached the courtyard.

"Xiao Qi, what is dead?" Xiao Ba's ignorant voice came with a frightened voice, vaguely, he felt that it was not a good thing to die, didn't he see his mother and Uncle Mo An crying?

"Dead, dead is like the black dog of the little stone family in the village." After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Qi explained.

Hachi was taken aback, "Didn't that black dog skin Xiao Shi's father and cook it in the pot?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, "Xiao Shi said that the dog died, so his father skinned it." ”

"Then, did the dead Gong Xichu they said also skin people?" Hachi asked hesitantly.

"You're so stupid, didn't Uncle Mo'an say a long time ago that our father is called Gongxi Chu?" Xiao Qi said to his younger brother angrily.

Hachi frowned, "But, I don't want a skinned father!" ”

Xiao Qi is silent, in fact, he doesn't want it either, okay? The skinned black dog was disgusting to watch!

"You two come over here!" Hua Ronghua roared angrily.

Xiao Qi Xiaoba shrank his neck, squatted down at the same time, glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Mother is calling you!" Then the two of them made bitter faces together.

After shouting, Hua Ronghua felt that his fire was a little inexplicable, the child was still young, and if he didn't understand anything, he just taught him, why should he be angry? And if Gongxi Chu is really dead, then they are too pitiful, and they haven't even seen their own father. Thinking of this, Hua Ronghua slowed down his voice, "Little Seven, Little Eight, come here, my mother will tell you something." ”

The two children came to the yard slowly, lowered their heads, and screamed, "Mother......"

Hua Ronghua touched the heads of the two children, "Do you know who Gongxi Chu is?" ”

Hachi raised his head, "Uncle Mo'an said he was my father!" But mother, why have I never seen my father? Little Stone can see his father every day? ”

Xiao Qi also had a question.

"Because your dad is fighting far, far away!" Hua Ronghua felt sour in his heart, feeling that if Gongxi Chu really couldn't come back, then he should tell the two children about him, and he couldn't even know what kind of person his father was when the children grew up.

"War?" Xiao Qi asked: "Is it like Xiaoshi and Ergou fighting for nest eggs?" ”

"It's not a fight, it's a war, it's a war, and war kills people. Do you know what death is? ”

The two children shook their heads in unison.

Hua Ronghua raised his head, waved his hand at Mo An and Steward Gou, and took the two children into the house and asked, "Do you two want to see your father?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi and Xiao Hachi nodded together.

"If people live, then no matter how long they are apart, they will see each other one day. But if a man dies, no matter how much you look for him, you will never see him again. If your mother dies, then your mother will no longer be able to carry you to bathe you and give you food, and your mother's body will slowly decay, and in the end you will not even remember what your mother looks like. ”

"Ahh The two children suddenly burst into tears and shouted, "I don't want it, I don't want my mother to die." ”

Hua Ronghua's nose was sour, tears flowed down in the end, hugged the two children hard, and said with a buzzing nose: "What are you crying about?" Isn't my mother here? My mother is not dead yet, and my mother will accompany you. ”

Xiao Qi snorted and asked, "Mother, is that daddy dead?" ”

Hua Ronghua nodded, then shook his head.

"Mother?" Xiao Qi screamed puzzled.

"The uncle who came said that your father was dead, but he couldn't find the body, so it may be that he is not dead." Hua Ronghua wanted to talk about the mound of clothes, but he didn't know how to explain it to such a young child for a while.

Xiaoba suddenly asked, "Mother, is Daddy scared so he hid, then let's go find him." ”

Go to Gongxi Chu? Hua Ronghua's heart moved, in fact, it is not impossible to really go to him, and the rumors in the DPRK about Gongxi Chu surrendering to the enemy and judging the country also made her tremble, whether it is true or not, if you make a move to someone with a heart and buckle this hat off, it will be a dead person if you are not dead, and even you and your children will not be able to escape. If you go directly to the Golden Ancient City, even if this crime is deducted, then you will have time to run away!

Hua Ronghua decided to take his two children to the north, but was unanimously opposed by Gou Guan and Mo An.

"Third young lady, the old lady sent a slave to pick you and the two little sons back to mourn the third son, how can you explain if you don't go back to the slaves!" Gou Guan really cried this time.

Mo An was even more worried, "Young lady, the two little sons are still so young, how can they walk so far, and they are so close to the battlefield, what should I do?" ”

"I just want to let the two children see what their father looks like before Gong Xichu's body decomposes." Hua Ronghua said directly and forcefully: "Whether you agree or not, I must go." ”

Next, Hua Ronghua beckoned Niu Ya to pack up her things and asked her to go to the rich man Hu and ask if they were willing to buy this house back, after all, this house will not be lived in anymore, and the long grass will not be sold for some money.

Gou Guan and Mo An are obstructing in every way, hoping that Hua Ronghua can change his mind.

Seeing that the day before leaving, Qin Shan stopped Hua Ronghua, "The prince asked Mrs. Hua to return to Beijing immediately." ”

"The prince asked me to go back to Beijing?" Hua Ronghua's heart skipped a few beats, and it was too coincidental to be in time for this juncture, so he couldn't help asking: "What did the prince ask me to do back to Beijing?" ”

Qin Shan has seen that this Mrs. Hua and the two minions of the Kanglebo Mansion have been fighting each other in the past few days, and he also knows some of Hua Ronghua's worries, so he said a piece of news, "Mrs. Hua, don't worry, General Gongxi is fine, it is said that he has also made a great contribution to Beirong, presumably the imperial list of rewards will be posted in a few days." The prince is looking for you because our ship has returned, and it has arrived in Nanzhou, and we are sorting out the goods, which will be shipped to the capital in the near future, so the prince wants to ask you to go back and preside over the affairs of Fanwutang! ”
