Seeing that her husband was silent and couldn't guess what he was thinking, Mrs. Bi asked in a quiet voice: "Did you believe that he was an industry from the beginning, and wanted him to avenge his mother, and wanted him to watch me die a bad death?" ”

"Nonsense...... "Prime Minister Bi Cheng glared at him angrily, "not to mention that the industry is dead, if he is really an industry, I can't let him turn the family upside down, and I can't let him destroy the lintel of the Bi family." ”

"Okay, then don't sit still, you have to take the initiative." Mrs. Bi grabbed her husband's arm tightly, and said with fierce eyes, "The emperor and General Shen know a lot of people, who cares about a little-known hairy boy, you want me to live in peace, I want you to live in peace, drive him out, and never let him set foot in the capital." I'll give you three days, and if he's still here in three days, I'll go back to my mother's house and find someone. ”

Prime Minister Bi Cheng said coldly: "Your father is too busy to take care of himself now, and he won't care about you." ”

Mrs. Bi laughed: "Really? ”

Although among the wives of high-ranking nobles and high-ranking officials in Beijing, they all know that Mrs. Bi Chengxiang was originally a concubine in the house, but her own background is not low.

She is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she fell in love with Bi Shilang at first sight, and then she was willing to commit to being a concubine and marry into the Bi family.

At that time, the Hou Ye was furious, and there was really a trouble, almost endangering Bi Shilang's career future, and finally it was the original Mrs. Bi who asked someone to be accommodating, and personally entered the palace to intercede with Queen Qiu, so that the Heavenly Family came forward, making the Hou Ye nod and agree to the marriage.

Today's Mrs. Bi originally married into the door with Bi Zhenye in her womb, but the original wife, who had been infertile for many years, was pregnant when she gave birth to Bi Zhenye.

A year later, Bi Ye was born in Ershan, but the mother-son relationship was shallow, and when he was six years old, his mother left Ershan and died.

At this time, Bi Zhenye went to the inner courtyard and gave the jujube cake to his grandmother, who had already gone to bed, and it was the grandmother next to her who took it.

"Young master, thank you for your hard work." Mama sighed softly, "The old lady has a bad temperament recently, and always wants to do some strange things to work hard for you, and the slave knows that you are the most filial." But the exam will be held in a few months, and your daily schoolwork is also very hard, so you can shirk the blame. Otherwise...... Madame's side, I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore. ”

Bi Zhenye said with a good temperament: "Don't get in the way, filial piety to grandma is what I should do, and grandma is happy." ”

He left the inner courtyard and walked out with his subordinates, but his heart was extremely heavy, his mother couldn't stand it anymore, so he yelled like that, no longer the gentle and virtuous appearance on weekdays.

However, even Bi Zhenye himself felt strange that his grandmother never sent him to do such a trivial matter, and even did not let him ride out on horseback.

I'm afraid of falling while riding a horse, I'm afraid of being hit by others when I go out, and I'm afraid that I'm not clean when I eat outside. From childhood to adulthood, Bi Zhenye was surrounded by servants everywhere he went, and among the children of aristocratic officials, he was often laughed at.

He sighed for a long time, all the problems are whether Ling Chu is out of the industry or not.

In his opinion, if yes, then recognize the relatives and take them home, and from then on the brothers will serve their father and mother together and honor their grandmother, if not, Ling is talented and learned, and will be an official in the same dynasty in the future, for the country and the people, which is also a good thing.

It's just that things are not that simple, Bi Zhenye is not stupid.

When his brother was suddenly lost, he was already seven years old, and his grandmother was critically ill at that time, and all the uncles and aunts of the clan came to prepare for the funeral.

Later, her mother was corrected, and her father was promoted to an official by the emperor, and she became a decent and honorable prime minister's wife.

The night is dark, the house is very peaceful, you can see the main courtyard of my father and mother in the front, and the inner courtyard of my grandmother in the back, he is sandwiched in the middle, very helpless.

However, at the moment, Ershan has no intention of getting anything back from Bifu, since February, it has been almost two months, and there is no news from Lingxiao Inn.

Even the letter sent by Yi became more and more perfunctory, saying that he was okay every time, but he avoided the important and did not answer his questions.

Ershan couldn't sit still anymore, there was more than just revenge in his life, his home was in Baisha Town.

He has already made up his mind, by the end of the month if he still can't get the news from home, in early April to the school leave to return to his hometown, originally this school is not forced to everyone to study, I don't think it will be difficult for him.

When he went back in early April, he could come back in August to take the examination in August, so as not to delay him in seeking fame and fame, nor to delay him from going home to take a look.

Coincidentally, the next morning, he went downstairs for breakfast, and was about to go to school, when a few distant merchants came to the inn, and they were very tired from traveling all night, so they asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food, and they were going to sleep.

Ershan didn't care about idle things, and when he was about to leave after breakfast, he heard the two businessmen say: "The shopkeeper Ling is really gone, I heard the people of the mighty dart bureau say that they went to mourn, and the lady took them to the back mountain, but it was just a well-dressed mound, so that it was convenient for the Jianghu brothers to go to the pillar incense, saying that the corpse had been cremated and scattered into the river." Ay...... Shopkeeper Ling is such a righteous person, we who run the dock business, we are willing to deposit the goods with him, and we have never lost them. ”

"What did you say?" Ershan rushed straight over, stood behind the two of them, and pulled the placket of one of them, "What did you say?" Who died? ”

The people in the inn, thinking that Ershan was going to fight with someone, came up to persuade them, this time to make the words clear, the man said: "Little brother, don't get excited, we also heard from the people of the mighty dart bureau that their rudder is on the street in front, you can ask yourself." ”

Ershan's chest seemed to be cracked, as if he could vomit blood out of his mouth, he threw away his schoolbag and ran to the mighty dart game, and the people in the inn hurriedly followed.

It was confirmed by the people of the Dart Bureau that Ling Chaofeng had indeed died, but when they went to mourn, after their wife invited them to come to the capital, they must not tell Ershan.

Ershan walked back to the inn in despair, went upstairs to get a few things, and went downstairs to go out.

The shopkeeper caught up and asked, "You have to go back to Baisha Town, and you don't go to school to take leave, for fear that it will affect your future exams." ”

Ershan's eyes were cold, and he walked forward without saying a word, without looking back.

In this compartment, Bi Zhenye went to school in a carriage, he didn't sleep well last night, and today he only felt dizzy and dizzy, and wanted to raise the curtain to breathe, but he saw Ling running away there, not wearing the uniform uniform of the school, but wearing regular clothes with baggage, as if he was going to go far away.

"Stop." Bi Zhenye gave this order, so he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Ling Zuo.

"Where are you going?" After following Ershan, Bi Zhenye asked straight to the point, "Ling Out, do you want to leave Beijing?" ”

Ershan looked back and saw that it was him, and he felt inexplicably desolate in his heart, they were sons born to the same father, but their fates were so different.

I thought that God would send him to the inn, which was finally a preferential treatment, but the shopkeeper died young.

He was not yet thirty years old, and he still had a good old age, and what had he done wrong to deprive him of his life in such a cruel way.

What to do with the big and small in the inn, now, instead of asking these people for everything that should belong to him, he wants to protect the real home.

"If there is something at home, I will leave Beijing immediately." Ershan looked at Bi Zhenye, "I just met you, I am tired of asking for leave for my academic qualifications, and I will say goodbye to my husband if I complain to my husband, time is urgent, and I can't delay for half a moment." Leave. ”

He quickly said this, and left without looking back, regardless of whether Bi Zhenye would convey it for him, now he just wanted to run home to see his family, and he couldn't care about everything else.

Bi Zhenye was confused, but he heard what Ling said clearly, so when he returned to his education, he asked his husband for leave.

But today, it is the day when the results of the last exam are released, and the school has held a big exam in imitation of the exam, and everyone is looking forward to today's results, but in the end, Ling Zhu, who competed for the first place, suddenly took a vacation.

When Mr. released the list, as expected, Ling Chu was really the first place, and Bi Zhenye only got the eleventh place, even if he was qualified to enter the palace examination in five months, he was afraid that he would not even be able to stand the flowers.

When he returned home with such achievements, Prime Minister Bi Cheng naturally poured cold water on his head, scolded his son to the point of indecency, and even wanted to use family law against him.

The old lady felt sorry for her grandson and rushed to dissuade her, but her daughter-in-law broke out at this moment and asked her mother-in-law in front of everyone: "You send Zhenye to run around for you every day, so you are not afraid of delaying his study at that time?" I also begged my mother to let her grandson go, so that Zhenye could study with peace of mind, what do you want to do, just send your daughter-in-law, it is a sea of swords and fires, and your daughter-in-law will not give up. ”

She knelt down in front of the old lady, and her righteousness was awe-inspiring: "If the daughter-in-law is disrespectful, please forgive your mother, I just ask you not to toss Zhenye anymore, I beg you." ”

The room was full of embarrassment, and the old lady was so angry that her face changed, and she helped the grandmother beside her, and sneered: "It's a pity, you only love your own son, and you don't care about my grandson." ”

These words are not clear, but those who understand will know what the old lady means as soon as they hear it, the second young master, who disappeared when she was young, is her grandson, but not the son of the lady.

Bi Zhenye doesn't want the chickens and dogs at home to be restless, he only blames himself for being shallow and not as good as others, if he can do a lot of chores for his grandmother while getting satisfactory results, it will not be like this.

"Grandma, it's grandchildren's own fault, mother, she is too disappointed and excited, she didn't mean to offend you." Bi Zhenye stepped forward to dissuade him, supported his grandmother and said, "Grandma, I will send you back to rest, my father will not beat me, he is just annoyed that I am not angry." ”

The old lady caressed her grandson's hand lovingly, the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, she didn't care about the eldest grandson because the little grandson came back, she only hoped that the industry could return to this home, and hoped that the two grandchildren could support each other in harmony and friendship, so that the Bi family would definitely become more and more prosperous, but ......

On that day, she forcibly took off Ershan's clothes and found a birthmark on the child, her grandson, how could she admit her mistake.

However, Ershan begged his grandmother to keep it a secret for him, and he hoped that after he was admitted to the top prize, he would return to Bi's house in dignity and fight for his dead mother.

The old lady is indeed selfish, and wants to affect the eldest grandson's studies, so that he can give the champion to his younger brother, but in fact, she is in a hurry and confused, there is no revitalization, and there are other people's children, there are people outside the world, there are mountains outside the mountains, why should she toss her baby like this.

"Zhenye, grandma is sorry for you." The old lady burst into tears and left with her grandson.

In the study, Mrs. Bi knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, the servants had dispersed, and Hanxi did not dare to hit the muzzle of the gun at such a time, and only Prime Minister Bi could persuade a few words.

But Mrs. Bi shook off her husband's hand to support her, and glared back at him: "Three days, one more day, I will wait for your reply." ”

Thousands of miles away, in the Lingxiao Inn, there are friends from the rivers and lakes who come to mourn every day after getting the bad news of Ling Chaofeng's death.

The so-called mound of clothes in the mighty dart bureau is temporarily picked up by Xiaowan, there is no mourning hall and no tablet in the inn, friends came, she didn't know how to entertain, so she set up a mound in the back mountain, so that everyone could burn paper money on incense.

People from all over the world gather here, all kinds of colors, white and black, most of Xiaowan don't recognize, but no matter whether there are grievances and hatreds between them, they came to the inn, just to mourn Ling Chaofeng, and leave gold and silver money to the widow Xiaowan, and never make trouble.

Xiao Wan didn't dare to ask for a penny, but she would be angry if she didn't want those people, and when she met some burly and tall people, Xiao Wan couldn't resist it.

In a blink of an eye, the cellar was full of things again, Xiaowan took Pei'er to clean up, and the son played with the gold ingots and said, "Mother, how many friends does Daddy have." ”

Xiaowan said: "I don't know, my mother is very grateful to them, but when will it stop." My mother wanted to gradually cheer up and stop indulging in the sadness of your father's absence, but these people kept coming and reminding me, which was really difficult. ”

Pei'er ran to hug her and said with a smile: "Grandma said that my mother's complexion has improved in the past few days, and she is very relieved." ”

Xiaowan squatted down and kissed her son's little fleshy face: "Mother still wants to raise Pei'er, mother must be good." ”

The little guy smiled and said in a milky voice: "Mother, Pei'er is hungry......"

On such days, until the beginning of April, fewer and fewer people finally came to mourn, and they were finally able to clear up.

Early in the morning, Xiao Wan got up and opened the door, just Daqing came with Su Su, Xiao Wan blamed her for being restless and raising a baby at home, when the two were talking in front of the door, someone rode a fast horse and sent a letter to the inn.

The letter was sent by the Weiwu Dart Bureau, saying that they had to tell Ershan that something had happened at home, and that Ershan had abandoned his studies and returned to Baisha Town, so he came to tell them.

The letter said that the day when Ershan left the capital, so seven or eight days had passed, and if he had hurried away, he would have arrived a long time ago, even if he was in a carriage and donkey cart, he should have arrived, and he would not necessarily have walked back.

"The letter has arrived, but the person has not yet arrived." Xiao Wan frowned, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Ershan.
