、、、、、、、、、、

With a clang, the old copper hand stove fell to the ground, and when the sparks splashed, the water stains on the ground were dried up, and there were bursts of thin smoke.

Qu Xiang and Bai Yunshao hurriedly helped the old man.

Bai Zhen's face was also pale, and she asked the servant in a stern voice: "Who did you listen to when you said this?" ”

"The housekeeper of the mansion has come to report the funeral......" The servant trembled, and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Bai Zhen didn't dare to look back, and he didn't dare to look at the old man's expression at this moment. There was a chill on her back, but she insisted on holding on, and asked the servant, "Where is the mourner?" ”

"Tiaohua ......" The middle-aged man called Bai Zhen's name in a deep and low voice, he stepped over the heavy rain waterfall and walked into the flower hall, his eyes were red, he couldn't tell whether it was tears or water droplets, along his face, like round pearls falling, "Mother, Tiaohua, big brother has gone to ......"

After a while, Bai Yunshao cried loudly: "Who said it, who said it?" ”

"It's Adjutant Zhou, who is with the eldest brother, and the housekeeper of the mansion who came to report the funeral!" Bai Sili's voice could no longer hide his choked voice, "Change clothes, let's go to the official residence to mourn ......"

The old eyes closed slowly, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he collapsed to the ground.

Bai Yunshao and Qu Xiang couldn't help her, and they were taken to the ground by her.

There was a mess in the house.

Today is the first day of the second lunar month, and every year in the past, wealthy households in Yuzhou like to choose to hold a spring banquet today.

This year, it has been a miserable storm.

Everyone is sighing why there is such a big wind and rain in spring.

Before the exclamation fell, the news of Bai Yungui's murder spread all over the southeast streets and alleys.

The car of the White Mansion walked along the path of the kapok tree, braving the wind and rain, and headed for the official residence. In the distance, there were cars parked on both sides of the path, and the large iron gate of the official residence was tied with white silk flowers, soaked in rain, almost transparent.

The kapok tree sandwiches the road, and the cars are parked.

Seeing someone coming, a capable officer stepped forward and saluted and asked for the other's business card.

Knowing that it was the old man, the second old man and others from the Bai Mansion, the officer hurriedly saluted: "Master, my name is Su Yong, and I am the general's staff officer, please several!" ”

Raindrops fell down the brim of his nylon hat, and his uniform was already soaked with rain, and he didn't know it.

The car entered the official residence, no one held an umbrella, everyone braved the heavy rain, got out of the car, and entered the living room of the official residence.

The Italian luxury chandelier was still on, the thousand lamps were crystal clear, and the cashmere carpet on the living room floor was already muddy and covered with heavy water stains.

Bai Sili and Bai Yunzhan supported the master, Bai Zhen and Bai Yunshao supported the old, a maid supported Qu Xiang, and the group got out of the car.

Only the maid made an umbrella for Qu Xiang.

The rain wet their sideburns, clothes, and shoe uppers, and the water droplets moved along the clothes, adding new stains to the originally wet rain stone path.

The old face had no color, and her hands clenched her chest tightly.

Bai Yunshao and Bai Zhen's faces were wet, and they couldn't see whether it was rain or tears.

On the corridor, Su Yongxu stopped everyone in the Bai family, some low, some pleading: "...... Madame is about to fall, sir, what's the matter, after the general's funeral, the subordinates and others will explain carefully, don't ask Madame. ”

Only the old man had a slight jaw, which was considered to be in response to him.

In the center of the living room, a large black and white photo, white clouds return to the eyebrows, smiling, graceful and majestic. The corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and the evil spirit of his own authority suddenly appears, but there is no military force, and he is rude and handsome.

The photo is from a few years ago, when he was much younger.

The old man couldn't hold back anymore, tears fell, and he cried bitterly.

Bai Zhen and Bai Yunshao cried together.

The eyes of Qu Xiang, Bai Yunzhan, Bai Ye, Bai Sili and others first fell on Murong Hualou, who was dressed in linen snow-colored filial piety clothes.

She knelt there, her back straight, and no matter who came, she thanked her as standard.

On his face, there is no half expression, his eyes are empty, and he has no focus for a long time.

The nurse hugged the crying Su Yue and the struggling Qingge, and knelt behind Murong Hualou. Su Yue's cry was broken, Murong Painting House never returned, she was like a lifeless sculpture, kneeling, thanking the visitors.

The futon in front of her was half-soaked from the rain on the visitors' feet.

The originally fair cheeks were now pale and showed a few wisps of dull yellow; Her eyes were as dark as inky gems, and she looked like she was getting old......

She had just turned twenty last year, the age of the full moon, and she looked like an old woman......

Parents don't need to salute Bai Yungui, and the officers on the side pulled the old man and the old man to sit in the side hall.

Lao walked in front of the painting building, took her hand, and his voice was choked and blurred: "The painting building ......" Lao exerted his strength, and only then did he feel that the painting building had no feeling.

She didn't look at the old, she just looked straight at her, as if she gritted her teeth and held back her last breath.

Lao hugged her shoulders and cried even more sadly, while Murong Painting Lou was still like a puppet.

Bai Zhen and Bai Yunshao pulled away from the old and went to the back hall.

Master Bai was already angry: "...... Our Bai family is not thin, why did the eldest go, and the parents and brothers and sisters didn't see it, so they went into the coffin! Whose idea was it? Who is hosting the funeral? Why did we hear about the funeral when it began? ”

The adjutant was a little overwhelmed and glared at the other adjutant.

After the adjutant went out, only two minutes later, a middle-aged man came in, in his forties, with a sonorous and domineering attitude between his eyebrows. He was dressed in an iron-gray military uniform and long black military boots, and after giving a military salute to the master, his voice was loud and majestic: "Master, I am Yang Sifa, the commander of the 21st Division, and the general's funeral is my abbot." What do you have, just ask me! ”

Aggressive, very tough.

The old man was angered by his attitude, his heart was angry and painful, and he slapped his palm on the table: "Who are you?" Why do you want the funeral of the abbot Yungui? Some of our family are patriarchs, and some are rules! What kind of thing are you? ”

Behind Yang Sifa, there was a man in the same color military uniform, he was about the same age as the master, his face was old and serious, but his voice was much gentler: "Master, the general is a member of the party-state!" ”

In a word, it sums it all up.

Bai Yungui is a member of the country, and his life and death, the Bai family can't control it.

The old man's chest rose and fell violently, and Bai Sili hurriedly supported him.

Bai Yunzhan was angry, and was about to quarrel, when he felt his arm tighten, his wife was pulling the bottom of his sleeve, and her voice was soft but resolute: "Big brother just went, the bones are not cold, do you want to quarrel with these soldiers, so that the mourning hall will not be peaceful?" ”

Bai Yunzhan was stunned, without warning, his eyes were red again. This time, the tears could no longer be held back. He turned his face away.

Bai Sili was also annoyed, but he suppressed himself and asked, "When did the eldest brother go?" Why was the funeral so rushed? Didn't inform our family until the funeral began? ”

"The general's body fell into the sea and was only found last night...... It's already very ugly...... "Although Yang Sifa is strong, when he said this, his voice was choked and unspeakable, he coughed hard, his eyes were red, and then he continued, "The general must be decent in his life, so I don't let others see the general's body." I only asked my wife and a few generals in the southeast, and I buried the general! ”

"I was buried last night, and the funeral starts this morning!" Yang Sixa controlled his emotions and continued, "Not only the Bai family, but also the Nanjing government only notified me this morning, master, this brother, forgive me!" ”

The general is a member of the party-state, and his death is no longer a matter for the Bai family, but for the entire southeast.

Yang Sifa means that the Bai family does not have the right to know first. Being able to notify the Bai family when notifying the Nanjing government is already giving the Bai family the greatest respect!

Ridiculous!

Is this a new type of army?

The old man was so angry that he couldn't say a word, his body couldn't help trembling, he was supported by the second child, and his legs were trembling.

An adjutant came in and reported: "Report to the division commander, Division Commander Chen of the 18th Division has arrived." ”

Yang Si shook his head, and then casually said to Master Bai that he was out of company, and then greeted him.

Outside, there was another burst of neat and heavy footsteps.

The small living room next to the side hall was given to everyone in the Bai family. In the side hall, it was full of visitors, all with sad expressions, and there were no servants to serve, everyone was waiting here, their clothes soaked.

A warm ginger soup floated in, and everyone was stunned, but they saw the young and handsome adjutant carrying a tray of ginger soup into the small living room.

“…… The general took Adjutant Luo, Hong Yu and a dozen of her men to the ship to rescue people, and then the ship blew up. Madame searched for the general at sea for two days, and found the corpses of Hong Yu and one of his men......" Adjutant Yi explained to the master in a low voice, "Hong Yu is the general's aunt Hong, she is actually the general's subordinate, training spies. The general was missing, and his wife asked Commander Yang to send someone to look for him. It was Division Commander Yang who found the general...... He called the general's other descendant army commanders and division commanders to deal with the general's posthumous affairs. Madame has not spoken since she returned......"

The old man passed out.

Bai Yunshao cried loudly, crying and crying for his mother and his eldest brother.

Everyone in the Bai family came to help the elderly.

Adjutant Yi went out and called the military doctor in.

Qu Xiang struggled to hold up her seven-month-old belly, she pulled Adjutant Yi to the side and asked in a low voice, "General...... Where did you find it? ”

Adjutant Yi was slightly stunned and said, "Fifth, my subordinates don't know." Division Commander Yang held a meeting, and his subordinates couldn't listen. In the past, the lady explained to her subordinates! ”

Qu Xiang glanced at Adjutant Yi and thanked him.

On that day, there was chaos. On the day of Baiyungui's funeral, the queen of heaven was buried.

Many of his subordinates and colleagues had to come from other places to pay their respects.

Murong Painting House has long been unassertive, and handed over everything in the official residence to Yang Sifa, who has a strong and irritable personality. When the Bai family left, they also heard him arguing with an official: "I'll open the coffin for Premier Yuan now." If it was Commander-in-Chief Bai lying inside, would Premier Yuan want to go down to accompany the general, or would he be able to save the general? ”

Immediately afterwards, Premier Yuan's roar was heard, and then the sound of his guards being loaded, and the two sides were tense.

And the Bai family didn't have guns, so they couldn't do anything, so they had no choice but to go back.
