The scenery inside the palace is as magnificent as it looks outside, very extraordinary, rockery and water pavilions, but the only thing that is not so good is that there are no people.
There were very few people in the huge mansion. The boy took Gong Lingye and Lin Ran across the hall, only to see two servants who were sweeping the floor, and no one else. Although the peony blossoms blooming in the garden, the west wind is bleak and there is no one who appreciates it.
The boy led the two to the lobby, where there were only peach wooden tables, grand master chairs, and an ink painting of mountains and washes.
An old man with piercing eyes sat on the chair of the grand master. His two jaws fell slightly, with several lines on his forehead, and he was self-sufficient in his long robe and mantle.
Wang Chuanbin closed the lid of the teapot, his face was flat and said: "It is the two who are here to find the old man? What's the matter?"
Gong Lingye pushed the silent Lin Ran, and Lin Ran couldn't help but walked towards Wang Chuanbin's direction.
Lin Ran naturally knew that the master wanted him to recognize his grandfather, but he had never met relatives, so he was really under pressure at this moment. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered intermittently: "Foreign, grandpa..."
The two short words of this grandfather suddenly made Wang Chuanbin stunned. The tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a click, shattered into pieces of porcelain, and it was unconscious that the fine porcelain grains were on the skin.
Wang Chuanbin tremblingly touched Lin Ran's face, the little guy wanted to hide at first, but finally closed his eyes and moved his face up. The more he looked at Lin Ran's face, the more Wang Chuanbin felt throbbed. This was the concern and connection from the blood, and he would never deceive him.
"What's your name?" Wang Chuanbin asked after his emotions stabilized.
"Lin Ran."
"What about your mother? Didn't you come here?" After confirming that Lin Ran is his grandson, Wang Chuanbin kept looking for Lin Ran and Gong Lingye to see if there were still figures behind them.
Wang Chuanbin’s expression was too overdue, and Lin Ran couldn’t even tell him the truth, but his eyes were red. In the end, Gong Lingye said with ashamed expression: "Mr. Wang, your daughter encountered a pirate when she came here. Unfortunately... died."
The body was shaken in vain, Wang Chuanbin suddenly sat on the chair of the teacher, the back of the chair could not bear the same crunching shaking.
Wang Chuanbin has a pair of children. The daughter left when she was in her teens. It was one thing to be cruel at the beginning, but it didn't take long for Wang Chuanbin to regret it. After all, she is the only daughter.
However, Wang Chuanbin, who has been an official for half his life and has a particularly strong backbone, couldn't hold back his face to beg his daughter to come back. When he looked for it carefully, he found that he had completely lost his daughter.
His wife Wang Li cried for this day and became thinner. A serious illness swept Fencheng in the past two years. Wang Li died of illness due to poor health, and Wenzhi Wang suddenly had one less person.
But now that the news of the daughter came, it was even more so that her grandson came to confess her relatives, but after all, she was always separated from her daughter, and it was still too late to recognize each other now.
White-haired people give off black-haired people.
Lin Ran took out the Wang's ashes in the package. Wang Chuanbin was holding Wang's ashes obsessively, as if he could see the voice and smile of his former daughter from the ashes.
But it's too late—
Late.
…
Wang's ashes were finally placed in Wang's ancestral tomb and placed together with Wang and Li's. The water thrown out by the married daughter could not enter the ancestral grave after death, but Wang Chuanbin insisted on this. Nowadays, there are not many elders in the Wang clan who are older than his generation. After all, the ancestral grave of the Wang family is still smoothly buried. Into the ancestral grave.
Lin Ran knelt in front of the grave and poured a glass of good old wine on the head of Wang's grave, then respectfully knocked three heads on the yellow earth, muttered "Mother well," and stood up.
Gong Lingye couldn’t help feeling that Lin Ran was just a pure seven-year-old kid more than ten days ago. He has undergone a drastic change. His temperament is more than seven years old, and he has become a lot more mature and stable. Gong Lingye doesn’t know if his change is good It's still not good.
Wang Chuanbin was in tears at the graves of his daughter and his wife, but he remained silent, only to see his confused look, it was obvious that he had fallen into the memories of the past.
The weeds fluttering in front of the grave, Wang Chuanbin finally woke up from his memories, glanced at Lin Ran reluctantly, and said to Gong Lingye: "Let's go with Ranran, here is not suitable for him to stay, Fencheng is not suitable, It’s even less suitable for a country near the east."
Gong Lingye was a little surprised. She thought that Wang Chuanbin would not give up Lin Ran so much and would waste some effort to take Lin Ran away, but she did not expect that he would agree so readily.
Wang Chuanbin said: "Although I have 50 and 6 this year, I still have a clear mind. You can walk in unharmed without a token. Naturally, you are not an ordinary person. What's more, my Wenzhi Wang family is now facing a disaster. It’s not safe to stay here."
"A catastrophe is imminent?" Gong Lingye said strangely, "Isn't the Wang family a very important political family in the East Kingdom? How can a catastrophe be said?"
"Hey..." Wang Chuanbin smiled bitterly, "Did you not find out? At this time, the Wang family has been separated. My rebellious son broke out in order to avoid misfortune. The servants in the house are almost scattered. There are only two left in the entire palace. The old loyal servant, me, the housekeeper, and two female family members and Shu Tong."
Naturally, Shutong is the previous boy Wang Shutong, but the son left behind by Wang's elder brother.
"My Wang family is naturally an important political family in the Lindong country. If you say that ten years ago, it was definitely the pinnacle of my Wang family. No one in the officialdom dared to say a word, and the power was overwhelming. But the emperor is like a tiger, and the emperor is slow Slow old age, suspicion also increased, and the number of corrupt officials gradually increased... Alas, where is there a prosperous family in the world? When the Wang clan was prosperous, he would naturally accept the current decline."
Lin Ran said, "Grandpa, if the emperor starts to attack the Wang Family, what will the Wang Family end up
Wang Chuanbin said bitterly: "Copy home."
"If it can be done, take Shu Tong away. He is not much of my Wang family's salary. The Wang family's blood can die, but it can't be cut off."
Looking at Gong Lingye, Lin Ran said, "Master, can you help me?"
Gong Lingye smiled, looked at Wang Chuanbin who was stunned, and then at Lin Ran who had a firm gaze, saying meaningfully: "Ran Ran, there is no family that will ever exist and prosper forever."
"But," Lin Ran replied, "I hope at least it's still there now."
"Just now?"
"Just now!"
Lin Ran is really different from before. Gong Lingye was silently gratified, and also silently saddened for Lin Ran. A child who was only seven years old had experienced blood, ruggedness, pain, and death that most seven-year-old children in the world did not experience. Growth, but for a child, this kind of growth is too painful after all.
Gong Lingye rubbed Lin Ran's messy hair and said, "Master will help you, but you are not allowed to come to the East within fifty years after the end!"
Lin Ran looked at Wang Chuanbin, who was always stunned, and took a deep breath: "Okay!"
