Chen Hongjie took Zhang Xueyi and walked directly into the door of Chen Hongli's house.

After entering the door, he shouted, "Is the third uncle at home?" The little nephew has something important to tell. ”

Not long after he finished shouting, a man of about forty years old walked out of the guest hall.

The man was wearing a cotton robe and a pair of cloth shoes with mille-soles.

This outfit is all in fashion today.

At a glance, you can tell that everything is specially made for someone.

When the visitor saw Chen Hongjie, he immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Hong Jie!"

I don't know if there is anything important for you to make a trip yourself? ”

After listening to the question, Chen Hongjie glanced at Zhang Xueyi who was following him.

Zhang Xueyi was looking at the rich middle-aged man in front of him with red eyes at this time.

The middle-aged man saw that Chen Hongjie didn't reply, so he also followed his gaze and looked at Zhang Xueyi.

I saw Zhang Xueyi untying the backpack behind him with red eyes.

At this time, no one spoke at the scene, and Chen Hongjie and Chen Hongli's father all watched Zhang Xueyi's movements quietly.

I saw Zhang Xueyi carefully take out a wine jar from his backpack.

Then with trembling hands, he handed it to Chen Hongli's father.

He didn't wait for Chen Hongli's father to ask a question before he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, Brother Hongli... Killed. ”

After Zhang Xueyi's words were finished, he saw Chen Hongli's father looking at the wine jar in front of him with a dull face.

The expression on his face gradually began to become sad.

Seeing this, Chen Hongjie on the side was just about to say a few words of comfort when he heard a "plop" sound from the direction of the guest hall.

Chen Hongjie and Zhang Xueyi looked up and saw a woman in her forties slumped on the ground by the door of the guest hall.

"Auntie..."

Chen Hongjie wanted to open his mouth to comfort, but found that neither Chen Hongli's father in front of him nor the woman at the door of the guest hall were full of sorrow, but none of them cried.

After a while, Chen Hongli's father took the wine jar with trembling hands.

I saw him gently groping the wine jar with his hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Is Wu'er still heroic on the battlefield?" ”

After Zhang Xueyi heard this, big tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.

He nodded vigorously as he spoke, "Brother Hongli, he... Very heroic, he has avenged himself, and the opponent is a partial general of the other side. ”

After hearing this, Chen Hongli's father nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "It's good to be brave, at least I didn't embarrass the Chen family." ”

After he finished speaking, Chen's mother, who was sitting at the door of the guest hall, could no longer control her emotions.

She covered her mouth hard and cried bitterly.

At this time, Chen Hongjie had already shed tears.

I heard him sigh and say, "Cry, it may be better to cry." ”

Zhang Xueyi cried at this time and said: "It's the little nephew and others who are incompetent and fail to protect their brothers." ”

Chen Hongli's father spoke: "Silly boy, what are you talking about?

My uncle also served in the military when he was young.

Although he has never been on that battlefield, he also knows that this general must be a mess in battle, and if he wants to protect the safety of others, how can he do it easily? ”

After saying this, he wiped the tears from his face vigorously.

Then he turned to Chen's mother and said, "Go and call all the children and let them meet Hong Li." ”

After hearing this, Mother Chen wept and nodded.

Then he struggled to get up from the ground and staggered to the backyard.

It didn't take long for a cacophony of human voices to ring out in the backyard.

Immediately after, the cries of adults and children rang out.

Chen Hongjie and Zhang Xueyi looked up and soon saw Chen's mother coming to the front yard with two young women and a boy about two years old.

One of the young women hurriedly saluted Chen Hongjie and Zhang Xueyi and then ran out the door.

The other young woman snatched the jar and embraced it in her arms, and began to weep loudly.

The boy was still ignorant at this time.

When he saw his mother crying sadly, he hugged her and wept bitterly.

Seeing this situation, Chen Hongjie immediately arranged for a subordinate to greet the manpower.

No matter what, we have to build the mourning hall first.

Chen Hongli's father wiped his tears while trying to beckon Chen Hongjie and Zhang Xueyi to the guest hall for a while.

Zhang Xueyi opened his mouth at this time: "Uncle, the official duties of the little nephew have not been completed yet, so I am not in a hurry to rest for the time being." ”

With that, he crouched down again and took a few things out of his backpack.

Among them are Chen Hongli's waist card, several clothes and a Datang Bank passbook.

He handed these things to Father Chen and said, "The little nephew is returning directly from the Songzhou battlefield.

This waist tag and a few pieces of clothing were carried by the Hong Jie brothers.

This passbook was sent by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Songzhou for General Su Lie to issue on his behalf.

His Royal Highness the King of Jin has ordered someone to build a stone monument outside the city of Songzhou.

All those who passed through the battle and those who died in the battle have been engraved on stone tablets for people to see. ”

Chen Hongli's father listened to Zhang Xueyi's narration while taking these things.

When he heard that the imperial court had erected a monument to the soldiers who died in battle outside Songzhou, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He barely suppressed his grief and said, "The erection of a monument has never happened before.

I wonder when the imperial court had this policy? ”

Zhang Xueyi opened his mouth and said: "This is personally presided over by His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

In the future, the places where the wars in our Datang will take place will be erected as evidence for future generations to pay respects. ”

After hearing this, Chen Hongli's father bowed in the direction of Chang'an City.

Then he spoke: "The grass people are here to thank His Royal Highness King Jin and the emperor.

With this policy, even if my son dies in battle, he can leave a name for eternity. ”

After Father Chen said this, he lowered his head and stroked Chen Hongli's clothes a few times.

Then he invited Chen Hongjie and Zhang Xueyi to the guest hall to rest again.

Chen Hongjie shook his head and said, "The little nephew will go back to the county government to arrange official business first, and then come over later to help my uncle deal with my brother's funeral." ”

Zhang Xueyi opened his mouth and said: "The little nephew doesn't need to rest, what is the use of the little nephew at home, please treat the little nephew as a family member." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Father Chen saluted with tears in his eyes: "Thank you two." ”

At this time, their family was in grief, and there was no one to drive them to drive them to.

Therefore, it is indeed a little inconvenient to greet Chen Hongjie and Zhang Xueyi.

After Chen Hongjie left in a hurry, Zhang Xueyi followed and got busy with him.

Not long after, Chen Hongli's younger brother, Chen Hongyi, also hurried back from outside with the woman who had just left.

And the people arranged by Chen Hongjie also arrived soon after with some items to decorate the mourning hall.

Zhang Xueyi was busy until Chen Hongli was buried before returning to Chang'an City in a hurry.

It was only then that Chen Hongli's family found time to open the passbook.

The entire 200,000 figure above suddenly shocked the whole family and lost their words.
