Even if you are not satisfied with the way the old man distributes the family property, you shouldn't be so angry.
Fang Jun sighed softly, very disappointed with his elder brother's behavior.
Fang Jun and Erbao, one big and one small, knelt together in the mourning hall.
In the middle of the night, Tangli came and brought a cushion for Erbao to use to make his knees more comfortable. He also put on his outer robe for fear that he would be cold.
Erbao didn't sleep, and Tangli was there to keep him company.
It was obvious that she cared deeply about the child.
More biological than biological children.
After Tangli left the mourning hall, Fang Jun said again: "Erbao, if you don't sleep, your mother won't sleep either. Go to sleep quickly, and come back when you wake up."
Erbao was a little hesitant.
He knew that his father and mother were not asleep.
"Grandpa feels bad for you kneeling like this. Can you come early tomorrow morning?"
Fang Jun continued to persuade him, "Uncle will guard tonight, and you will guard during the day tomorrow, so that uncle can rest. Otherwise, the two of us will not be able to handle it."
"good."
Erbao then slowly stood up.
His calves were numb.
The little body leaned against the pillar and it took a while for him to stand firmly.
"Uncle, this mat is for you." Erbao gave the mat to Fang Jun.
Fang Jun looked at his innocent little face and felt warm in his heart. This child is so well behaved.
"Thank you, Erbao."
Erbao then walked out slowly.
Outside the mourning hall, Tangli was indeed sitting there.
As soon as Erbao came out, she looked over. Seeing that it was Erbao, she hurried over and hugged him.
"Mom, my uncle told me to go back to sleep first. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Erbao said.
"Well, let's go back and get some sleep."
Go back and have a good rest.
Tang Li was actually very distressed, seeing that the child's big eyes were red from staying up late.
Tangli carried the child back to the yard.
In the yard, Wei Qing and Sanbao were also awake. The big and the small were sitting at the door.
When Tangli came in holding Erbao, they both looked up at the same time.
Sanbao knew that his second brother was upset and didn't know how to comfort him, so he just stood on tiptoe and patted Erbao's back with his chubby little hands.
"Pat, pat, I'm not happy if you pat me away." Sanbao said in a baby voice.
Erbao finally showed a faint smile on his face: "Brother, don't be sad anymore, sister, go to sleep quickly."
It was very late, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day.
Tangli got up early in the morning, tidied up Erbao, and had breakfast together.
Wei Qing took Erbao to the mourning hall.
Fang Jun knelt in the mourning hall.
"Why didn't the eldest master come to keep vigil? It's always been the second master who has been doing it."
"It is said that when the old master passed away, the eldest master came out of the room in a rage. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the distribution of the family property?"
"Even if you're not satisfied, you shouldn't not come to the wake, right? Isn't that too unfilial?"
"Having such an unfilial son, the old man's spirit in heaven must be restless, right?"
Some people were talking in low voices.
Fang Jun listened to the discussions with a frown on his face.
Filial piety is the most important virtue among all. It is the most important factor in judging a person's character, and wearing mourning clothes is the most important thing a child should do.
No matter what the old man does, as a child, we must fulfill the most basic filial piety.
Even if you're angry, you shouldn't not come to the wake.
Why is his elder brother so confused?
Fang Jun hadn't slept all night and looked very unhappy. He was slightly relieved when he saw Erbao coming.
Fortunately, Erbao is a filial child. With him keeping vigil for his elder brother, there will be fewer rumors.
"Uncle, I'll keep watch. You go and have a rest." Erbao said.
Fang Jun nodded.
His feet were numb, so he stood up with the help of a pillar. He walked out of the mourning hall only after his feet were no longer so numb.
As soon as I left the mourning hall, I saw Wei Qing standing there.
Yesterday it was Tang Li who accompanied him, and today it was Wei Qing who accompanied him. This couple is really good to Erbao.
No wonder the old man asked them to take the second baby away before he died.
"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Jun said.
After leaving the mourning hall, Fang Jun returned to the courtyard, washed up, and had breakfast.
When Cai saw him turning around to leave, she quickly called him back.
"What are you going to do? You look as bad as a ghost. Go to sleep first." Cai's words were unpleasant, but her tone was full of concern.
"I'm going to go find my brother."
Fang Jun said this and walked out of the yard.
Fang Jie's courtyard is the best located and largest courtyard in the entire Fang Mansion.
He walked all the way in, but was stopped by Tang.
"Sister-in-law, where is my brother?" Fang Jun asked.
"Master, he's sick!" Tang's face was haggard. "He had a fever last night, and I took care of him most of the night."
As Tang spoke, she began to sob softly.
"Has the doctor come to see me? I'll go call the doctor!" Fang Jun said.
Tang quickly said, "Master is much better now. He just needs to rest a little longer. There's no need to see him. Second brother, isn't Yan'er guarding the mourning hall? He represents our eldest wife."
"Sister-in-law, Yan'er is just a seven-year-old child. He has been kneeling in the mourning hall for most of the day. Don't you feel sorry for him?" Fang Jun couldn't help it.
"He's young, and children are the most lively... You can't let your sickly older brother kneel down..."
"Sister-in-law, everyone is talking about why big brother didn't go to the wake. It's bad for big brother's reputation. When big brother feels better, you should let him go."
"Second brother, you're saying it as if your eldest brother doesn't want to go. Your eldest brother can't even get out of bed now. If he kneels in the mourning hall, I'm afraid he will follow the old man." Tang said crying.
Since Tang said so, Fang Jun naturally had nothing to say and turned away.
He was busy with the funeral arrangements and business matters, and was completely busy.
Fang Jie lay in bed all day.
The old man went too far in this matter.
It was a pity that he had been so devoted to the Fang family before, but ended up like this.
Fang Jie felt very unbalanced.
He no longer wanted to get involved in the Fang family's affairs. Since the old man had handed the Fang family over to Fang Jun, he would let Fang Jun take care of it.
Only when Fang Jun takes it all on will you know how much effort he has put into it.
Tang was too lazy to pretend anymore and spent the whole day trying to sow discord between Fang Chun and Cai, which made Cai furious. Fang Chun became even more repulsed by her and came to live with Tang.
Cai came several times to ask for the person, but was stopped outside the yard by Tang.
Fang Jie and Tang were like two firecrackers in the Fang family. They were mean and cunning, and the servants were afraid to serve them.
Tang Li and Wei Qing took turns accompanying Erbao, so they naturally heard about these things.
"Fang Jie is digging his own grave." Tang Li said.
"Yes, he is ruining his own reputation. He is unfilial, so naturally he is looked down upon by the Fang family. Few people in the Fang family will support him. He doesn't take care of things, and Fang Jun does it, so everyone obeys Fang Jun even more. He is helping Fang Jun to run the family in disguise." Wei Qing said.
Tang Li nodded, and her man also understood.
However, they also enjoy watching Fang Jie and his wife act foolishly and get into trouble.
In this chaotic situation, Fang Jun still did things in an orderly manner.
Choose a date and then bury the body.
On the day of the burial, the funeral procession left.
Erbao was still kneeling there, and some vague fragments flashed through his mind.
