It was the cold winter season, and the north wind was bleak. After afternoon, there was another wind at the foot of the mountain, one after another.
The coachman waited in the cold wind for two quarters of an hour, but there was no movement on the mountain road, so he felt a little unsure. The two guys just now looked pretty good, but the behavior of tracking stilt feet was really sneaky.
Thinking about the funeral of the family ahead, the coachman couldn't help but shudder.
If only people are willing to see money, dig graves and be found to be a death sentence, then the coachman who brought passengers would not be involved.
The coachman was in a hurry and didn't dare to wait any longer. He hurriedly waved his whip and drove away.
On the mountain, Chen Yan and Chen brothers are still silent.
"God didn't open his eyes, why did he take Brother Jue away?" Chen choked.
Chen Yan pointed to the other tombstones and said, "This is the blessing land of the second legitimate branch of the Shen family. Did you look at the tombstone of Chen Jue?"
Chen raised his head and looked around. It was mostly unfamiliar names. However, there was one name that I remember clearly, that was their great-grandfathers.
Chen walked forward, but did not worship, and was silent for a while and said, "The initiator"
Three years ago, as Xu returned to the province and learned about his ancestors' secrets, Chen felt ashamed of the identity of the descendants of Shao's family, but he was not unfair to his so-called great-grandfather.
A man will establish a world, cultivate oneself and manage his family and dominate the world. If this great-grandfather had not been incompetent, he would not have ruined the house. If he found out that his wife was evil, he could deal with it slightly fairly, and it would not have caused the third great-grandfather to leave his hometown.
If you care about the relationship between the second wife and want to make a big deal out of small things, you are not kind to the legitimate son; if you feel guilty about the first wife, you will lose your legitimate son, and you will refuse to recognize your legitimate wife's flesh and blood. Is it because you are kind?
I wanted to cover everything, but I didn't care about any side, and ended up wandering in a different place and burying my bones in a foreign land, which was also a sin.
"It's me wrong." Chen Yan admitted his mistake for the first time: "Going back to Songjiang to hide the Shen family, so that you and my brothers can grow up safely. They have already gained the welfare of the Shen family. They shouldn't be much greedy..."
It is because the Shen family is too famous in Songjiang, and as a descendant of the Shen family, he is proud of it.
Chen Yang said: "Where is my brother's fault? If we don't go back to Songjiang, we don't know the truth back then. We just think that my grandfather's branch was wronged... I once said shamelessly that I was a legitimate descendant of the second wife. Now I think about it. It's ridiculous..."
Chen Yan patted his younger brother's shoulder and said, "I have been resentful and feel that the past is gone. The legitimate branch is of the same origin as you and my brothers, so there is no need to be so mean and heartless; today, I know what life is Karma is difficult to eliminate. Everything in the world has cause and effect. You and my brother become rootless duckweed, and they also inherit the cause and effect of that day."
Chen glanced at his brother and said, "Then from then on, Shen Rui..."
"Let's go far away. For the elders over there, if you and I don't get over, I'll be tactful..." Chen Yan said lightly.
Frowning: "But I still have to go over and apologize..."
"You need to be more tactful to apologize. I'd better ask Shen Rui to come out tomorrow..." Chen Yan thought for a while and said.
A few days ago, he stopped his younger brother because he was afraid that the Shangshu Mansion would be in a state of grief and know that the previous cause would be vented and depressed. However, things could not be suppressed, otherwise a misunderstanding would arise and the two families would have a resentment.
He nodded, but didn't say anything else.
Chen Yan looked around and saw Master Sun's grave.
Although Master Sun’s tomb is next to the tomb of the Shen family, it is clearly divided.
Chen Yan was a little curious, moved over and took a look.
Although the name above is unfamiliar, the person erecting the monument is the third master, which obviously has a deep relationship with the Shen family.
"Sun?" Chen Yan felt that this surname was familiar, and suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Chen walked over and said, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Chen Yan pointed to the tombstone in front of him and said, "The person in this tomb is surnamed Sun, and the wife of the fourth house is also surnamed Sun. The origin of the two families should be here."
Chen glanced at him and said curiously: "Brother, no wonder the eldest wife of the second wife went to Songjiang to see her marriage. This is the best for the Tong family... Since that's the case, how could she let Sun marry far away? Stay in the capital to take care of her, Isn’t it cheaper? At that time, the relationship between the second house and Songjiang had not eased yet?"
Chen Yan frowned and said, "How come the only merchants have become the 'honor brother of the Jiuqing? Sun did not stay in the capital, but instead married Songjiang? The second house and three masters, and the third master is not as good as his age, and he will not say it. There is a master, a second master, and the master is a little older, but the second master is right…”
He blinked his eyes and said, "One is a merchant and the other is a high-ranking official. Even if he has 'kindness, he doesn't need to be married, right?"
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "Others may not, but this third master may not be. Although the third master was determined, he was a person with a temperament. The Sun family is already a family. The Sun family is a cemetery, and the Sun family can be adjacent to the Shen family cemetery. It was well taken care of, which was enough to prove that Grandpa Sun's kindness to the Shen family, and that, until the generation of Shangshu Chen, did not forget each other. Three years ago, the eldest wife of the second wife insisted on adopting the fourth son, which made people feel strange, it turned out to be It should be here. Even if there is no matter how to choose a heir, and with the origin of the Sun family, Shen Rui would be taken to the capital after the mourning period."
It is true that the fourth family of the Shen family has made a lot of limelight in Songjiang a few years ago, and the Sun family is well known to everyone. Therefore, the two brothers faced a tombstone, but the origins of the Shen and Sun families were almost the same.
Chen thought of his brother inexplicably and smiled bitterly: "Brother, this is called "Good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded. It is not that the time has not come, is it? Grandpa Sun gives kindness to his grandchildren; great-grandmother does evil. , harmed generations of descendants. How could she be so cruel? How many lives of life can be harmed? There are not only one or two stepmothers in this world, but they are ordinary, but they dare to kill people for their own selfishness? It is better to raise grace than to be born. If you have raised generals and become adults, you can’t tolerate anything you do?”
Chen Yan sighed and said, "It's a taboo for the venerable. No matter what right or wrong, don't say this again in the future
Chen drooped his head and said, "I won't say anything anymore... It's boring to complain about myself. The second wife has no intention of making things difficult for brother and me, and the elder brother and I should also get out of this evil..." After saying that, he turned around and turned around, but was scared Has a jump.
A woman in plain clothes came from behind her and stood there shakingly.
Seeing the person who came with gray hair and haggard face, he still felt familiar. Chen Yan called out tentatively: "Mrs. Chen?"
He was listening and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Their brothers returned to Beijing with Qiao last winter and saw Qiao from afar. They only thought they were a delicate and graceful lady, and they didn't look like the old and haggard look in front of them.
The person who came was Qiao, but he didn't look at Chen Yan, but just looked straight at Chen.
Chen Yan saw something was wrong with her, took two steps forward, covering Shen behind her.
Seeing this, Qiao looked a little excited. She stepped forward a few steps, said with a sad voice, "Brother Luo"
The two brothers had just finished seeing the Shen family cemetery and naturally knew which "Brother Luo" was.
Chen couldn't help but feel excited. Qiao had already bypassed Chen Yan, grabbed Chen's arm, and cried, "Brother Luo, mother's Brother Luo is back..."
In the wilderness, in the tombs, Qiao's howling makes people feel heart-pounding.
Although Chen was so cold that she was crying that her hair was covered in cold hair, she felt unbearable and said kindly: "Mrs. Chen, you admit your mistake. I am Chen, not your son Chen Luo..."
Qiao shook her head vigorously and said, "No, no, you are your mother's brother Luo, come back to see her...
Although Bai's personality is usually crying, he is his own mother, and he can't be disliked or picky. The second wife Chen in front of him obviously looks abnormal.
Chen Yan turned to his face coldly and took away Qiao's wrist.
He is the son-in-law of the Qiao family, so he naturally knows the affairs of the Qiao family. The Qiao family is uneasy when Chen Jue's death this time, because Qiao has tried to get rid of Chen Jue. And this Qiao family claims to be in Zhuangzi. He went to "rest" and was actually punished by Mr. Shen and his wife and sent them to the village.
This time, the Shen family did not release the Qiao family after Chen Jue's funeral, and Xiao Qiao family sighed for a while.
They are all married daughters of the Qiao family, and they all prosper and lose. Now there are rumors about Qiao's unvirtuousness outside, and Xiao Qiao's family is also uneasy. It was Chen Yan's comforting, which made Xiao Qiao's family not continue. Trembling.
Now that Qiao appears here alone, she looks crazy and crazy, Chen Yan involuntarily takes a look in his mind.
"Who are you?" Qiao looked up at Chen Yan, and said in a daze.
In fact, Chen Yan and Qiao had faced each other. However, as a man and his future niece, they just found a face covering. Qiao had no fine details and had long forgotten the purity.
Chen Yan hesitated in his heart whether he had reported his "nephewives son-in-law" identity, and then he heard Qiao scream and kneel down at him.
"Grandmaster, please spare me." Qiao knelt on the ground, trembling, and knocked on the ground with her head.
Chen Yan and brothers Chen looked at each other, wondering what kind of drama Qiao's story was.
Qiao had cried, "I will never dare to disobey my great-grandson's instructions again, stay in the old house, so I will move back to my home with my second master... I shouldn't have forced my cousin to take me to see my sister of the Sun family, but I'm ruining the second one. My cousin’s marriage with my sister-in-law… My sister-in-law’s birth is not as good as a wife, but my mother caused someone to suffer…”
Incoherent words, one sentence in the east and the other sentence in the west are shocking.
Although Chen Yan was confused before, he now saw that Qiao was in a trance and regarded himself as the late third master. He then raised his face and said, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Since you have mistakes first, you have Retribution comes afterward.”
Qiao's body twitched and cried, "If you want to report to me, don't hurt my brother Luo..."
Chen Yan said: "Chen Luo is dead..."
Qiao shook her head vigorously and said, "Brother Luo is not dead, my brother Luo is still there." After that, she went to hug her thighs.
He hurriedly picked it away and dodged to avoid the tomb of Master Sun.
Qiao's body tilted and fell to the tomb of Master Sun.
Looking at the big-faced word "Sun", Qiao's body froze, she screamed in shock, and fainted.
