"Brother Qishan is dead?! Brother Qishan, how could he, how could he be dead!" Pang Shanmin seemed unable to believe his ears. Hearing it was a fake news from the person in front of him, but it disappointed Pang Shanmin. The servant of the Tang family in front of him was also crying, "Master is dead, dead!"
House servants can tell lies, but they don't dare to wear it on their heads. This is white hemp, which is worn only when someone in the family dies.
"Impossible, impossible!" Pang Shanmin felt bad all over, and walked staggeringly, as if he couldn't walk all of a sudden. A few days ago, he was still on the boat in Xiangyang to see him off. He was full of confidence when he left, but now he heard such a bad news. Pang Shanmin couldn't accept that a close friend of his had left like this.
"You're lying to me, you lie to me again, aren't you?" Pang Shanmin and Tang Yun have a deep relationship. They played together since they were young, and when they grow up, they share similar interests. Brotherly love is not a real brother but better than a real brother.
Pang Shanmin violently tugged at the body of the servant who delivered the letter, a huge force erupted from his hands, and he grabbed the servant's shoulder and shook it, causing the servant to be in great pain. He wanted to push Pang Shanmin away, but he was afraid of hurting Pang Shanmin. , just when the servant was at a loss.
A sigh came from the courtyard, "The idiot is still awake!" I saw a gray-haired old man appearing in the courtyard with a cane in his hand. Although he was old, his words and deeds However, there was a kind of majesty in it, and the crutch in his hand smashed towards Pang Shanmin along the way.
This is the Pang family, and Pang Shanmin is the young master of the Pang family. How can anyone dare to treat him like this? There is only one person who can do this, and that is the head of the Pang family who has retired to the mountain. He is known as the great Confucian who founded the Lumen The father of Pang Shanmin in the academy passed away.
Mr. Pang De is already seventy-three years old this year. But the crutch in this hand still hit Pang Shanmin firmly and forcefully.
I wanted to wake up Pang Shanmin directly, but who would have thought that it aroused the hostility that Pang Shanmin had kept in his heart for a long time, and subconsciously swung the crutches with both arms. Lord Pang De did not expect his son to become like this. Inadvertently, he failed to stand still and was about to fall down.
"Pang Gong, Pang Gong!" The servants, housekeepers and maidservants of the Pang family all stepped forward to help Pang De.
"Ah!" The shouts of the people in the field and the pain of being hit on the shoulder by the crutch just now made Pang Shanmin regain his strength from that kind of absent-mindedness and take a closer look, only to see that his father had fallen on the ground. On the ground, he hurried forward and shouted worriedly, "Father! Are you okay!" Pang Shanmin was a filial son, and he was very filial to his father. Pang Shanmin was thirty-five years old this year, but he He has never been an official before. One of the reasons is that his father is old and he wants to take care of his father. If Pang Degong hadn't beaten Pang Shanmin out, I am afraid that Pang Shanmin would still stay with his father now, seeing his father fall. Pang Shanmin panicked immediately.
"It's nothing, it's nothing! Old bones, you're not too old to walk!" Mr. Pound pushed away the other servants, and only let his son hold them up.
Looking at the eyes of the people around, Pang Shanmin knew that he was the one who caused his father to fall just now. Pang Shanmin's eyes dimmed and he lowered his head, "Father, Shanmin is unworthy. Please punish him!" He was about to kneel down.
"Get up!" Seeing himself kneeling down, Mr. Pang De didn't show the slightest filial piety to Pang Shanmin, but instead frowned.
Pang Shanmin obeyed and stood up.
Seeing his son's loss of soul, Pang Degong felt sorry for him, "Qishan has already gone!"
Pang Shanmin looked at his father, and the father and son looked at each other for a long time, then Pang Shanmin nodded, with a very bitter mouth, "Brother Qi Shan has already left!"
Tang Yun. Tang Qishan! This man is an elegant gentleman, and even Pang Degong praised this close friend of his son very much. Although he does not have the kind of world-class talent like Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, he has a free and easy mind that they don't have, and he is extremely open-minded. . He is the representative of the gentleman in ancient times, and he is his son's best friend. Mr. Pang De is very satisfied. Mr. Pang De could still vaguely think of Tang Qishan's uncle who called out to him every time he came to him, but who would have thought that heaven and man are separated now. Mr. Pang De thought that his son could have such a close friend to support each other, He will be able to live in peace forever, but who knows that he, the black-haired man, is ahead of the white-haired Mr. Pang De.
It is rare to have a confidant in life, Duke Pang De has also experienced the pain of Boya's broken string, he is already in his seventies, and almost all his contemporaries have disappeared, so does Duke Pang De have no confidant? The pain of losing a confidant made Duke Pound wish he could die in front of them.
Pang Degong was also sighing in his heart, but his mouth suddenly rose, "You are so useless and can only cry!"
"Father?!" Pang Shanmin didn't understand. What his father entrusted to him in the past was a gentleman's love. Even if a great enemy passed away, he should mourn it, not to mention that his confidant in this life has already passed away.
"Although Qi Shan has left, he still has his affairs behind him. How long are you going to cry? Wait until Qi Shan's body is cold? Or will you stop crying until Qi Shan's wife and children sleep on the street? !" Mr. Pang De's tone was so severe that Pang Shanmin was almost at a loss.
But my father is right, although brother Qishan has left, his affairs are not over yet, his wife and children also need someone to take care of them, the Tang family is no better than the Pang family, although the Tang family is a noble family, but it has already declined The gentry, if no one takes care of them, they may be swallowed up after Tang Yun's death so that there is not even a scum left! Therefore, as a close friend, I should stand up and protect the Tang family from wind and rain.
"And Qishan is gone, you just know how to mourn, but you don't think about how this Qishan died, and who died at the hands of him, and you don't want to avenge him! If that's the case, then I feel humiliated because you are my son, and feel sorry that Qishan has such a good friend!" Mr. Pang De's words became more and more severe, and all the housekeepers and servants around him were terrified. As a great Confucian in the present age, Mr. Pang De has always been gentle and refined, and he is very kind to his servants and servants, but today he treats the young master so harshly.
"Who died at the hands of? Revenge? Revenge?!" Pang Shanmin was stunned by Mr. Pang De's words, and his gentleman's way did not tell him to take revenge! It only taught him to be tolerant. Pang Shanmin was at a loss when he was so provoked by Mr. Pang De. Fortunately, Pang Shanmin still retained a man's blood in his heart, and immediately muttered to himself, "Revenge, yes, revenge! Brother Qi Shan You can't die in vain, you can't die in vain, kill me brother Qishan, I, Pang Shanmin, will pay for your life, pay for your life!" The more he said, the more hostility in Pang Shanmin's eyes, this is Pang Shanmin, a simple gentleman, but now Pang Shanmin seemed to have turned into a wild beast.
Looking at his son's appearance, Duke Pang smiled wryly in his heart. He really didn't know how his words today would change his son, but he had no choice. If he ignored it, then his son would die. If it is destroyed, the death of his best friend will make him completely unable to get out, and such Pang Shanmin will be destroyed for life. And now Mr. Pang De is beating Pang Shanmin's hatred for revenge. Although it may change Pang Shanmin into another person, it is better than living like a walking dead!
"Father, Shanmin knows!" Pang Shanmin clasped his fists at his father, Lord Pang De.
"You don't know anything!" Duke Pound shook his head in his heart. How could he understand the kind of love an old father has for his son! When your best friend dies, you should cherish the person in front of you even more, Duke Pang De thought in his heart, but he said, "Go, Liu Jingzhou may have the answer you need!"
