I was like a gust of wind blowing through the door of the Zhang family. I stood quietly in front of the door of my mother's wing. It was already late at night, and the entire family's house was silent. My mother's soft sobs could be clearly heard. My heart suddenly felt a huge pain, surging from my heart to my whole body. I couldn't control myself. Tears fell down my face and fell to the ground. There was a clear "pop" sound from the tears. Is it because my hearing is too good? I don't know. Know.
"Who is the mistress?" My mother's voice sounded anxiously. I couldn't bear it anymore. I opened the door and looked at my haggard mother.
"Mother, mother..."
"Mistress, mistress, am I not dreaming..." The mother stood at the table, as if she hadn't reacted yet.
I rushed to my mother and hugged her tightly. My mother hugged me tightly in her arms, so tightly that I could clearly hear my mother’s heartbeat. “Bump, bump…” It was beating very fast, very fast. Fast.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but my mother slowly let go of me and kept looking at me, "Xiao San, Xiao San..." Carefully stroking my face, she kept saying my name.
"Mom, is the court meeting over? Are my eldest brother Lang Feng and his mother okay?" I calmed down and asked my mother.
"Due to the family law of the family, the court meeting must be started with the presence of the person being punished. Even if the person being punished does not show up, it will take a week before the court meeting can start. Tomorrow is the seventh day, and you just happened to be back. Even if you don't come back, the court meeting will be held. Don't worry about your sworn brother Lang Feng and his mother. Your aunt and second mother wanted to drive them away. Fortunately, your father stopped this matter. Your father He is still very kind to you. He is doing it for the benefit of the family. Don't always hate your father. He can't help it. You also know that the Presbyterian Council came forward at that time and the result cannot be changed." Mother looked at me , trying hard to get me to forgive my father.
"I know he is doing it for the benefit of the family, but he should at least think about me first. Even if I end up being kicked out of the house, I won't be jealous of him by then, but he didn't do it from the beginning to the end. Say a word for me, do you know how ruthless he was to me in the end, ah! He wants me to forgive him, hum!" When I think of the way he said "yes" when he finally left, I can't help but burst into anger. , unable to control oneself.
"Mistress..."
"Mom, stop talking, stop talking about those things. Let's have a good chat. We won't have many opportunities in the future, but I will come back to see you often." I looked at my mother and said.
"Xiaosan, do you know why your father kicked you out of the house just because of this incident? And when you asked me why your aunt and your second mother were so hostile to you?" Mother looked at me and said.
"Is there any secret?" I looked at my mother. It was really difficult for me to associate these two things together.
"This is actually not a secret. This is something that the four major families know and agree on. That is: for the inheritance of the family, each generation can only pass it on to the eldest son of the next generation. Only when the eldest son dies, can the inheritance be passed down. To the second young master. The eldest son’s guards are all third-grade masters and a second-grade guard chief. If it is found that the eldest son’s death was caused by the second young master’s instigation, the second young master will be expelled from the house without even a tael of silver. And when After the eldest son ascends the throne, the second, third and third sons will be selected by the Presbyterian Council as the elder who performs better. Your second brother was born to your aunt. Your second brother and your aunt were very good when they were young, and she did not give birth to a child. Son, of course I also support the second young master, who is also your second brother. Now you know why your aunt and your second mother treat you like this." My mother told me all this.
"Oh, I know, then why did my father kick me out of the house because of this?" I asked my mother.
"This is the same reason. The second and third sons of each generation who have not become elders have to leave home and start their own business. Of course, they all have a start-up fund of two million taels of silver. You are leaving home early, but you will Your name has been deleted from the family tree. Also, you only have the New Year red envelope money from the past five years, which is about 100,000 taels of silver. Mom, there are still hundreds of thousands taels. You can take it out and live a good life. !" My mother started to cry again at this time. In fact, I feel very sad when I think about being separated from my mother in the future.
"Mom, don't say that. How can I use your private money? Besides, one hundred thousand taels is enough, so don't worry." I looked at my mother and said with a forced smile.
"No, you must bring money there. Your mother and I are in the house, and everything we eat, drink and buy is paid for by the house. It won't cost my mother a tael of silver. Don't worry, got it?" Mother immediately said again Start trying to persuade me.
"Mom, no, you have to believe in my ability, Mom..."
"Mistress, don't be so stubborn. You must listen to mother. Bring the money."
…
I had no choice but to take a hundred thousand taels of silver from my mother. Alas, I know that my mother also wanted me to live a better life after I leave home. Poor parents in the world. Mother, I will definitely honor you well in the future. of. I looked at her and she looked at me with a smile. Without blinking, he seemed to remember my appearance deeply in his heart. It was almost dawn, I smiled bitterly and was about to leave.
"Mom, I will not participate in this court meeting. I will call Langfeng and they will leave together. Mom, I am leaving." I stood in front of the door, looking at my mother. I didn't know how long it would be before I could see my mother again.
"Let's go, mistress, I know you have been different and sensible since you were a child. Mom believes in you. Just go on your own path. Mom will always support you." My mother said to me with a smile, although she concealed it very much. Okay, but with my amazing eyesight, I can still see the tears that my mother was holding back.
I smiled, turned around and walked directly to Xingfeng Pavilion. I never looked back until I walked out of my mother's courtyard and walked to a place where my mother couldn't see me. Then I looked back. Before the tears came out, It has been easily evaporated by me using my true energy.
I quickly passed by the servants at home who had gotten up early to work, and entered my previous place - Xingfeng Pavilion.
Chun Yu was sitting in front of the door of my original wing at this time, murmuring: "Master, why haven't you come back yet?"
"Ayu, just go back to the house and take a nap. I'll wait for the young master here." Uncle Wang put his coat on Chunyu's body.
"Lin, I'm really worried about the young master. The young master has never lived alone since he was a child, and now he has been hit hard and has been out alone for a week. How can I go back to the house and sleep when you ask me? We are watching the young master. Growing up, you also know that the young master is very strong. I really don't know how he lives alone outside?" Chun Yu leaned on Uncle Wang's arms.
I really didn't notice that Uncle Wang is almost twenty-five years old this year, and Chunyu is also twenty-two. Judging from their talents and looks, they are a perfect match. After I left home immediately, the first thing I did when I settled down was to get them married.
"Hey, how long do you two want to keep making out? I've been standing in front of the door for so long and no one has come to say hello." I said to them with a straight face.
"Master, it's master. Master, you are back. It's great, it's great. Madam will be very happy." Chunyu immediately shouted excitedly.
"Haha, I have to wait until you two are intimate before I see my mother. I don't want my mother to be anxious to death. Haha, hey, why are you blushing? It's even redder. Uncle Wang, your face is blushing too. What shall I call you in the future? It’s better, it’s Brother Wang, do you think that’s okay! Ah, hahaha...” I actually found that Uncle Wang, who was rarely expressive, also laughed. No, it was Brother Wang. Brother Wang laughed. This is a rare occasion. Yes, I couldn’t stop laughing.
Watching their faces getting redder and redder, I really couldn't laugh anymore. I took a deep breath and prepared to continue laughing.
"Master..." Chunyu acted coquettishly, ha.
"Second brother, it's second brother. You're back. You're really back. I'm so happy. My mother has always been thinking about you." The eldest brother Lang Feng ran over from the small wooden bridge in the west wing. When he saw me, he immediately shouted excitedly.
When I saw my sworn brother, I also felt very excited. We had only known each other for less than two days, but we had been separated for seven days, but I deeply felt the brotherhood of life and death.
"Brother, I plan to leave this house right away. Should you and your mother come with me, or should you go to the countryside and live a stable life." I actually really want to go out into the world with Brother Langfeng, but my mother's The disease requires continuous treatment.
"What are you talking about? Our brothers have said that we will live and die together. Don't you look down on me now? Do you think I am like a person who abandons his brothers when encountering difficulties?" Brother Lang Feng immediately started yelling at me. shouted.
"Brother, don't be excited. If you come with me, what will happen to the aunt? Do you want her to wander around with us? Can you bear to let the aunt suffer like this!" I said to the eldest brother.
The eldest brother calmed down. He also knew that his mother was in poor health and needed to rest and recuperate, but asking him to leave me just because of this would probably be difficult to accept.
"Feng'er, you go with the Third Young Master, and mother will go with you." Lang Feng's mother stood on the small wooden bridge and said firmly to us.
"Mom, your body."
"Third Young Master, it's okay. I know my health myself. I've gotten much better these days, and it's not a hardship even if I go out with you. It's much better than chopping wood in the mountains. Don't worry." Auntie He looked very happy. Show your healthy side.
"Second brother, we just need to take good care of my mother on the road. Besides, my mother was in the mountains before and her health is still very good. There are so many people on the road, so why should we worry?" Lang Feng also began to persuade me.
I looked at my aunt and thought of my mother again, and I felt moved in my heart. I will definitely take good care of my aunt.
"Chun Yu, Brother Wang, and Lang Feng, you go and pack your things first. I'll wait for you. You bring some important things and buy the rest later." I reminded him immediately.
Watching them all go back to their rooms, I also entered my room. I sat next to the round table and read almost every night. Inside the wooden box was the black iron jacket I wore when I was a child...
My whole body suddenly shook, and my spiritual sense clearly felt a gaze on me. I could clearly feel the deep thoughts, care, and apology from my heart.
It's the father!
