"This is such a small matter in the backyard. Your ninth sister's biological mother is just a dancer who can't be accepted at the banquet. What do you think your imperial grandfather and others will take it as a big deal?" Jiang Tianchi said indifferently, "At that time, your imperial grandfather and My uncle thought that since your uncle liked the dancer, he just gave it to him! Anyway, after the dancer came in, your mother didn't like it, so my father never touched it. "
At this point, his eyes were in a trance for a moment, and a bitter smile mixed with tenderness appeared at the corner of his mouth, "But you also know your mother's nature: She was originally urging my father to get rid of the dancing girl! But! After knowing the attitude of your imperial grandfather and uncle, they refused to let them go. For this reason, they went to the big room to cause a scene, saying that anyone who entered the fourth room, no matter whether it was a human or a dog, would be regarded as a ghost. , I haven’t spoken to my father, so I can’t just take her away!”
"Later, the dancing girl gave birth to a girl. As a father, she decided to give birth to a girl whoever she wanted. After all, when she got old, she just gave out a dowry. She didn't want to kill her and make uninformed people talk about your mother's jealousy..."
He stopped here, and after a while, as if word after word was squeezed out from the gap between his teeth, he said, "From this incident, as a father, I know that even if you have grown up, many things still remain the same." Unchanged!”
"Since my concubine can be given to your uncle with an understatement, just like my childhood toys and food."
"Then everything else is the same?"
"For example, Zhenbei Army!"
Jiang Tianchi looked at his son with sad eyes and said quietly, "Shuang'er, based on your experience, you won't understand how easy it is for a father to gain a foothold in the Zhenbei Army, but I heard that your uncle plans to wait for your second brother. How I feel when I send him to Zhenbei Army to train when he grows up!"
"Neither you nor Dan'er have experienced it - even Zhu'er can't understand it!"
"Because even Zhu'er, who thinks he has been wronged and grew up, is just not taken seriously. As far as my father knows, neither you nor Dan'er deliberately robbed him of anything! Especially Dan'er is better than you and Zhu My son is much older, and he always protects his younger brothers and sisters. With him under his control, your cousins won’t dare to make mistakes!”
"Not being able to get it is incomparable to getting it but losing it at any time. I believe in being a father. The pain of the latter is incomparable to the former!"
"I remember very clearly. The day I found out that your second brother had been allowed to go to Northern Xinjiang a few years later, I was so frightened that I couldn't close my eyes for three days and three nights! I was in a trance while patrolling. I almost fell off my horse several times, and once I even almost fell Falling into the bottomless abyss - at that time, I thought over and over again, arranging a team of people to quietly lurk halfway and kill your second brother... "
"It's just that even if I have murderous intentions, I can't really do it: It's not that I don't want to kill my nephew, it's because the Zhenbei Army... The Zhenbei Army at that time was still your imperial grandfather's Zhenbei Army, and it was also your uncle's Zhenbei Army. The only thing is, the Northern Army is not mine!”
"If they know my plan like this, you can imagine my fate!!!"
He did not continue to call himself "father", but changed his name to "I", and told the fragile and helpless scene in his youth in a cold tone, "I couldn't sleep day and night, and my heart was so burning that I couldn't calm down for a moment - shocking. I was scared to death and full of anger. It was the most painful time in my life!”
"Because I know that as long as your uncle wants it, your imperial grandfather and uncle will definitely give the Zhenbei Army to him, or his son, not me!"
"Even though your second brother was still young at that time, the trip hadn't happened yet!"
"But, with your uncle's status in the family, he is enough to threaten me!"
"Your uncle already had the unwavering support of the Jiang family in the court. That support is something your third uncle still resents - but he is still not satisfied and wants to reach out to the Zhenbei Army! What is the Zhenbei Army?! That is the foundation of the Jiang family!
Jiang Tianchi's tone finally contained clear choking, "I said goodbye to my wife and my eldest son who I regarded as the jewel in my palm, and went to the northern Xinjiang to start as a soldier. What is the goal? Firstly, to make achievements. , so that my wife and children don’t have to look at the faces of relatives for the sake of good clothing and food! The second is to avoid your uncles - I have had enough of working hard day after day, but can’t resist their indifferent demands! day!"
"Starting as a soldier - such a life is much more difficult than most people can imagine! It's so difficult that even though I have been sharpened on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang until my heart is as cold as a knife, I still don't want my heirs to be like this. Come again!”
"The driving force behind my hard work is that I believe that in Zhenbei Army, far away from your uncles, my efforts can yield corresponding results!"
"Shuang'er, you can't imagine how my father would hold his head alone in the camp, biting the corner of his robe and crying bitterly, right?" Jiang Tianchi raised his sleeves and casually wiped the corners of his eyes, then suddenly changed his tone of voice and said lightly, " After crying that day, my father decided that no matter what, I would not let your uncle, not any of your uncles, get their hands on the Zhenbei Army!"
He sneered, "Your mother is very impatient, and she fell out with your eldest aunt a few days after entering the house! Your brother Dan'er has been smart and smart since he was a child. At that time, everyone expected him to achieve success when he grew up! Why? If your father has no achievements or status, your uncles and aunts will sooner or later cheat your mother to death! And Dan'er was far more outstanding than his cousins when he was young, and sooner or later he will become a thorn in the side of your uncles and aunts! "
"As a father, I have no choice at all! I don't want to watch my wife and children being trampled under my feet but I can't do anything about it, so I have to do whatever it takes!"
Jiang Yashuang closed her eyes. Under the starlight, there were faint traces of tears on his jade-like face, and she whispered: "So, my father deliberately favored the beauty presented by his subordinates. As expected, my mother couldn't just sit back and watch after knowing about it, so she hurriedly sent my starling to the hospital." Leave him to be raised by Dafang and head to Northern Xinjiang resolutely? "
"And after Dan'er went to Dafang, the people he served in front of him were all bribed by his father." Jiang Tianchi said indifferently, with an expression as cold as ice, "My father bribed them not to prevent them from being murdered and plotted by Dafang. Instead, let them work hard to seduce Dan'er into bad behavior - for a while, they even thought that if they could get a handle on it, it would be fine as long as Dan'er didn't die! Dan'er, but I don't know how much suffering Dan'er has to suffer compared to your uncle, so that your imperial grandfather can hand over the Zhenbei Army to his father as compensation!"
"..." Jiang Yadan had already vaguely guessed this, but now that he heard Jiang Tianchi admit it with his own ears, he felt that his whole body was surging with energy and blood!
It took him a long time to ask: "Do mother and myna know about this?"
"Of course your mother doesn't know!" Jiang Tianchi raised his hands and said calmly, "Leave the backyard to my wife to take care of, and take care of all the troubles in the front. This has always been a tacit understanding among the men of our Jiang family. Isn't it the same for you kid? Did you do that?”
"What about Bage?" Jiang Yashuang asked urgently.
"... My father never told him, but you also know that although your eldest brother has been drunk and dreaming at the fireworks field for more than ten years, he has never been confused about major events. Whether he guessed it or not, my father doesn't know." Jiang Tian Chi said sadly, "Besides, do you think my father dares to speculate like this? My father has always told himself that the child has been abandoned long ago, and my father treats him affectionately. He will never doubt it!"
At this point, he chuckled, "Probably no one would have thought that my father's love for Dan'er was actually just out of a guilty conscience!"
How can you not feel guilty
The Jiang family has been prosperous since its rise. In terms of talent, there are only three people who can be said to be amazing: Jiang Tianjiao, Jiang Yadan, and Jiang Yashuang.
Of course the most talented among them was Jiang Tianjiao. Unfortunately, the seventh master of the Jiang family, who became famous at a young age and became famous at a young age, passed away due to illness at the age of only sixteen.
The two brothers Jiang Yadan and Jiang Yashuang were on par with each other. However, when Jiang Yadan shocked the family, Jiang Yashuang didn't even know where he was - at that time, Emperor Zhaode was thinking about the outstanding but poor man in his free time. The step-brother suddenly discovered that his grandson was as talented as Jiang Tianjiao, and his appearance was exactly like his own. You can imagine how much comfort he got from Jiang Yadan!
You can also imagine what kind of expectations he had for this grandson!
Just like Jiang Yashuang later, no matter how busy or tired he is, he must take time to pay attention to his grandson's growth - his outstanding talent, careful cultivation, and Jiang Yadan's performance as a child are definitely worthy of the attention he receives!
When Jiang Tianchi designed his wife to leave Beijing for northern Xinjiang, the eighth son was already ten years old...
At this time, the ten-year-old is already a big child, especially when he grew up in a big family. He was taught by the court at a young age, and Jiang Yadan was already sensible no matter how he thought about it.
Did he really not have any doubts about the people around him trying their best to lure him into bad habits and instigate him to become wasteful
Or, like Jiang Yashuang in the past two years, she has already seen the truth, but she is just hiding her sincerity and obeying her father's orders
After all, he was the grandson who made Emperor Zhaode say in person, "This is my family's Yushu Zhilan" and hoped that "the one who will shine in our Jiang Family family in the future must be this son." How could an ordinary ten-year-old child treat him like this
Jiang Tianchi didn't want to think about it, let alone dared to think about it - he had told himself over and over again that there was no way this son would know the truth, and he was still so guilty that every time father and son met, he could only use all kinds of love to cover up the fear and fear. He was so ashamed; if Jiang Yadan knew everything... he could no longer imagine it!
"The outstanding heir that many people could not hope for, the only flesh and blood at that time, I said that if you treat me as an abandoned son, I will treat you as an abandoned son... Sure enough, both your imperial grandfather and your uncle, as smart as these two elders, never expected that in those years, The person who wants Dan'er to waste his homework and not seek to make progress is not Jiang Tianao who leaves them helpless!" Jiang Tianchi raised his head and looked up at the stars, his voice was very soft, but he still couldn't hide his trembling, "It's me, my biological father!"
