Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 116

The sky is over, and the north wind is blowing.

Outside the city of Qizhou, a group of knights roared against the raging north wind. Horseshoes the size of a bowl smashed the ice and snow on the road.

In the blink of an eye, the horse team arrived under the city gate, and the horsemen looked at the closed city gate, and restrained their horses one after another. The strong horse "Herod" neighed for a while, slowed down, and kicked the horse's hooves under the city gate. Pacing pace, shaking his head and tail in circles, sniffling his nose from time to time, exhaling a mouthful of white breath.

The guards on the city had already noticed this team of knights, and they leaned over the crenel and shouted, "The city gate is closed. If there is no urgent matter, enter the city again tomorrow morning!"

The horse team under the city is Fang Jun and a bunch of servants.

Fang Jun looked up at the city gate tower, and the servants beside him had already shouted: "My son is the servant of the minister, Shefang Xianggong, Shang Erlang. He came from Chang'an to visit the elders in the city. Please be convenient!"

Although Qizhou City is a big city, it is not as strict as Chang'an and other Gyeonggi, and there is no curfew. When I heard that Fang Xuanling's son was coming, the guards hung bamboo baskets on the city, ordering Fang Jun and others. Put the token into it and hang it up, and immediately release the city gate after verifying the identity.

Fang Jun and others rushed in through the half-open city gate. Among them were servants who knew the Fang family's old house and led them to their destination.

The sound of hoofs broke the silence of the long street.

********
In the old house of the Fangfu, people are already panicking at this time, and the servants are busy going in and out, preparing various things for mourning.

The eldest master is terminally ill and is on the verge of dying.

Although the Fang family is not a big family in Shandong, but they came out as the Zaifu of the dynasty, and for a time of glory, the Fang family is usually low-key, stable, and kind, and has a good reputation in Qizhou. No matter the government officials or the wealthy gentry, they have always had contacts. .

The families got the news that people with deep friendship had already come to help one or two, and the front hall was overcrowded.

Fang Song's eldest son Fang Xun was kneeling at the head of his father's bed at this time, with tears in his eyes, holding his father's bony big hand tightly, with a sad expression on his face.

All the relatives were all kneeling on the ground, and the female relatives were even more sobbing.

There was an air of sadness in the room.

At this moment, Fang Song's second ovary took two steps forward, whispered in his brother's ear, "Seeing that my father is afraid that he can't hold on, but I don't know when the second uncle of Chang'an will come and whether he will send someone else. give obituary notice?"

Fang Yixun was a little hesitant.

It is certain to report the mourning, but Qizhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and even if it is fast, it will take half a month to go back and forth.

But if he were to send someone to Chang'an to report his mourning now, this old father wouldn't have died yet...

Fang Yixun was in a dilemma, and said tangled: "I just don't know if I went to Chang'an a few days ago to report that my father is seriously ill, whether the second uncle will send someone to come..."

Fang Yijian sighed lightly: "So what if someone is sent here? It's the end of the year, and the second uncle must be too busy with government affairs to get away from it, and his nephew and nephew went to Yue's family to celebrate his birthday. The kid is not stingy, and he will definitely not come. Therefore, even if the second uncle sends people, it must be not enough, how can it represent the second uncle? "

Fang Yixun had a sad face, and said softly, "If you don't come with a heavyweight, how can you get the Wu family to make concessions?"

Fang Yijian said angrily: "This Wu family is too much. It's just a matter of reckoning with the power of King Qi. It dares to invade the land of my family's ancestors. Do you want to be with my Fang family forever?"

At this time, Fang Chengzong, the son of Fang Yixun, heard it clearly behind him, and said angrily: "The Wu family is too deceiving, and let the boy bring the servants in the house to have a theory with the Wu family, if it is still unreasonable, boy He smashed his mansion!"

Fang Yixun shouted in a low voice: "Silence! If you disturb your grandfather, I will peel you off!"

Fang Chengzong was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

Fang Yijian said helplessly: "If there was such a right and wrong, I would have sent a letter to the second uncle to explain the situation earlier, and the second uncle would come forward. I think that even if King Qi is domineering, he will have to sell the second uncle's face. But I will go again at this time. Letter, time is running out..."

The father looked sad and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly came to report that Chang'an was coming!

The Fang family members were instantly refreshed, and Fang Yijian hurriedly asked, "Who is coming?"

The servant said, "It's the Erlang of the second master's family."

Fang Jun?

Brother Fang Yixun and Fang Yijian looked at each other, and the hope that had just risen disappeared in an instant.

That hammer...

It would be enough to represent the second uncle at his father's funeral, after all, he is the second uncle's direct son.But if he negotiates with King Qi, how can such an uneducated and uneducated idiot be able to bear it?

Fang Yixun had no choice but to say: "Chengzong, go and bring in the fourth uncle, and see your grandfather one last time..."

Fang Chengzong complied with his promise and pushed out the room lightly.

When I came to the side hall, I saw a dark-faced, sturdy-looking young man sitting on the couch.

Dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a mink hat, sitting upright, with a straight back, although his face was still hard to hide, his whole person revealed a calm and airy aura.

This uncle, whom I have never met, is younger than me...

But then again, looking at this man's demeanor, it doesn't seem to be as unbearable as the legend?
Fang Chengzong took two steps forward, clasped his fists and asked, "But the fourth uncle is in front of you?"

When Fang Jun heard the words, he stood up from the couch and said politely, "Exactly." He didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he called himself his younger brother, and presumably he was the uncle's grandson.

He ranked second in his own family, but the big families in ancient times were all ranked together by their peers. The two cousins ​​of the uncle's family were both older, plus his brother Fang Yizhi, so calculated, he was ranked among the brothers of the same generation. In the fourth place, Fang Chengzong was called the fourth uncle.

Fang Chengzong greeted him solemnly and said, "Little nephew Chengzong, I have seen the fourth uncle."

Although the etiquette is solemn, there is some disapproval in my heart.Who didn't know that this person in front of him was an anomaly of the Fang family, a well-known idiot and a fool?In addition to dancing with knives and sticks all day, I don't read a book, and I am cowardly and shriveled when I am in trouble, and no one looks down on it.

How did Fang Jun know what he was thinking?

He quickly stepped forward to help Fang Chengzong and asked, "How is Uncle?"

Fang Chengzong didn't have the intention to salute at first, but he just signaled a little. Taking advantage of the situation, he straightened up with a sad expression: "I'm afraid it won't work, my father ordered me to take my fourth uncle to see my grandfather for the last time."

Fang Jun's mouth twitched, yes!Visiting a sick person turned into a funeral...

Although I have no impression of the cheap uncle, I still have to do my best. Besides, if I have reached the ground, can I go back again?
He said, "You lead the way!"

Fang Chengzong bowed slightly and led Fang Jun to the back house.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the bedroom, he heard a heart-wrenching cry in the room.

Fang Junxin said that this is the old man's death, but why did he make such a coincidence?He didn't die sooner or later, but he died when he reached the door. Why did he feel like a disaster?
After muttering in his heart, he bravely followed Fang Chengzong and walked in.

　If the recommended ticket reaches [-], it will definitely be added. If it arrives today, it will be added today, and it will be added tomorrow when it arrives tomorrow.
