...
The cold wind was howling.
Jiang Changtian sent Xiaodouzi away.
Xiaodouzi's bag was filled with ointment for treating bruises and injuries. He
left the government office quickly.
He was naturally a little afraid of the government office.
Because he knew what his uncles did.
But Uncle Laoba asked him to come and see, to be smart.
He saw that there were many people in the government office, much more than usual, and everyone looked busy, as if they were preparing for something big.
Xiaodouzi was scared and walked faster than usual, but he still couldn't help but look back at Mr. Jiang standing in front of the hut.
He trotted, stopped again, turned around and waved to Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang is a good man.
His mother said that people should remember kindness.
The gentleman also waved to him, with a serious expression.
Little Douzi followed the gentleman's gaze and was startled. The man wearing a big robe and a hat must be the county magistrate. The county magistrate actually came out, and he saw it with his own eyes. He was so close, he was a little curious. It seemed that
the county magistrate was seeing someone off. The county magistrate bent to a gorgeous old lady.
Wearing such a big official uniform, he could still bend, and the circle on his waist was shaking.
Little Douzi stopped for a step, and was scolded by someone. Then he woke up and realized that he was crazy and actually watched the excitement in the yamen.
This time he ran away quickly without looking back. He
disappeared soon.
The elegant and graceful old lady sent out by the county magistrate himself was Jiang Changtian's mother, Madam Jiang.
Because there was some unrest in the county, Madam Jiang, who had the prince's guards, was specially invited to come and discuss it.
Jiang Changtian hadn't seen his mother for a long time.
His mother hadn't changed much.
Just like in memory. She
had an elegant demeanor, and even in this small county, she could have that kind of innate aura.
With this elegant demeanor, no matter how peacefully she made friends with others, it would make people feel flattered.
He was old.
His mother was still young.
He became the father of three children.
His mother was still young.
There was a beautiful little girl with his mother. She
was about the same age as his sister Yu.
His sister Yu was thinking about food all day long, thinking about a bite of food.
The little girl was polite and neither humble nor overbearing in front of the county magistrate. She was aloof but approachable, very much like Old Madam Jiang. Old Madam Jiang, who was greeting the county magistrate ,
seemed to sense something. She turned her head and saw the tall and thin young man standing in front of the small door. The young man's face looked very similar to her boss, which scared her. Jiang Wan also turned her head and saw the man. Judging from his appearance, he was 60% like her father, but he felt much more handsome. Just standing there, there was a feeling of cold wind and autumn water. The posture was actually more like the old man than the county magistrate in front of him. The county magistrate also noticed the old lady's expression. He found an excuse and hurriedly said goodbye to go to work. Housework is not mixed. Jiang Changtian is satisfied. After he had Feng'er, he became much calmer than before. He even reflected on himself from time to time. Only when you are a parent do you understand the kindness of your parents. He felt that he must have done a lot of things in the past that made his mother sad. Later, he taught Feng'er to read and write, and found that Feng'er was extremely smart, smarter than him, and had a good memory. He read the poem book several times before memorizing it, but Feng'er memorized it after just reading it twice in front of Feng'er. Feng'er stood in front of him with her hair in a bun, shaking her head and reciting a long poem. Jiang Changtian was very surprised. He was filled with a lot of emotion and gratitude. So the next day, he went to Jiang's house on purpose. He knelt at the door of Jiang's house for half a day, and knelt at the door of the old lady for half a day. He knelt until dark. He just saw his mother. His eldest brother had a new daughter, who was as cute as ice and snow when she was born, and the smile on his mother's face melted. His eldest brother was also beaming with joy. He understood the feeling of being a father. He thought that they were all happy today, and it should be easier for him to plead for mercy. He did not ask for glory and wealth, nor did he ask for a high-class house. He only asked his mother to say that he could not take the imperial examination. He also did not think about becoming the top scholar in the high school and bringing honor to the family. He did not dare to think about it. He only hoped that Feng'er could study normally and make progress. He hoped to leave a way for his child. We don't need you to pave the way, just don't stop us, we can crawl by ourselves. He knelt for a whole day. He has always been in poor health. He was already shaky and about to fall. He knew that he looked very pitiful. He thought that his mother would have a little pity when she saw how pitiful he was. After all, she was his mother. When his mother saw him, the cute baby suddenly burst into tears. His mother didn't even bother to talk to him and hurriedly had him kicked out.
The whole family gathered around the baby, worried that something might happen.
From beginning to end, he never received a straight look from his mother.
That night was also so cold.
He almost thought he would die.
Finally, the night watchman helped him to the corner.
He leaned against the corner, he looked at the dark sky, he wanted to die.
Because the darkness in front of him had no end.
Finally, Xia Mei came to find him.
Xia Mei said nothing.
She carried him back to the village.
Just like that year, Xia Mei picked him up from the water.
She carried him home.
The road was so dark.
He felt dizzy and had a fever.
Xia Mei's shoulders were very warm.
Since then, he has never set foot in Guojiang Mansion again.
Even if he went to work every day, it was just a stone's throw away.
To him, it was the end of the world.
He has never even seen his mother.
It was strange that the mother and son had not seen each other for many years.
He actually did not miss her at all.
He had three children and had to work hard to make a living, so he seldom recalled the past.
He greeted people with a smile every day and bowed and scraped to them.
For a few copper coins,
he did everything from hand to mouth. He forgot that he used to have a group of servants when he went out, but now he was not even as good as the servants. He
forgot that he used to treat gold lumps as marbles and dropped them all over the floor.
Now he picked up beautiful stones, carefully put them in his arms, and took them home to amuse his children.
He forgot that the elegant and noble old lady in front of him was his mother.
Jiang Wan supported her grandmother.
There was a cry in her heart, telling her to take her grandmother away quickly.
Leave quickly.
But she was inexplicably curious.
The man standing there was really good-looking.
So, for some unknown reason, she followed her grandmother to the small side room.
There was a smell of Chinese medicine as she got closer.
It wasn't bad.
Jiang Wan looked inside with some curiosity.
It was very tidy. There was
a table and a stool in front of the small window.
There were three knife marks on the windowsill, and no one knew which naughty child had carved them.
...
...
Slacking off today.
Jiang Changtian got off work early.
No one cared about him.
When he returned to the village, it was still daylight.
Luoxia was actually holding the baby and chatting with people under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
His little Mian'er saw him first.
"Dad, Dad!" A sweet and soft voice.
And she reached out to him.
He patted himself, and then took the child.
Heavy and soft.
He held Mian'mian in his arms.
One hand supported the back, and the other hand hugged the butt. He
was holding her husband in his arms.
He smiled and listened to the villagers' chatter, but he was a little absent-minded.
Even when someone called the second brother, he didn't respond. I don't know what he was thinking.
Qin Luoxia also noticed her husband's abnormality and pushed him gently.
"Boss, the fifth uncle is calling you."
Jiang Changtian finally responded.
He looked a little flustered.
"Xia Mei, let's pack up quickly. I was at the county government office today and heard that the bandits from Jishan have captured the county government office and declared themselves king. Now they are leading a large group of people towards us. I'm afraid they will arrive soon. Let's hide. Bandits passing by are like combing a bush, leaving nothing behind." "
Uncle Wu, you guys should also pack up and pack your valuables. We will hide for the next two days. It will be fine once we get out of here."
Jiang Changtian said with a serious expression.
"I came back early today because I got the news and risked my life to escape. The elders in the county government office all know about this, but they haven't told anyone yet, hoping that the villages along the way will slow down the bandits."
Jiang Changtian held the baby in his arms, his expression was solemn, and his words were well-reasoned.
Most of the people present believed it.
In this day and age, scholars have a higher status than others.
Moreover, Jiang Laoer is a capable man who works in the county government. He has three children of his own and will definitely not talk nonsense.
Jiang Changtian told everyone about the seriousness of the situation, then hurried back with his children and wife.
Jiang Mianmian was in her father's arms and was shocked when she heard it.
What a miserable world this is.
This, these good days will only last a few days, and these thieves are coming again. They are so miserable, what are they here to steal, are they going to steal wild vegetables?
No, now people can also be robbed, and the most important thing is to hide yourself.
Seeing her father's serious face, Jiang Mianmian changed her mind and thought, if the bandits come, then her sister shouldn't have to be a concubine. Today, she went out for a walk with her mother, and no one in the village said that her sister wanted to be a concubine.
Jiang Mianmian felt the sound of her father's heartbeat quickening as he walked up.
She rummaged in her newly sewn little pocket and took out a small ant.
No, not this one, she stuffed the small ant back.
She reached into another pocket.
She took out a piece of candied fruit, she held the candied fruit up and stuffed it into the corner of her father's serious mouth.
"Dad, eat, eat, it's sweet." Jiang Mianmian said.
If you eat something sweet, you will be happy.
Jiang Changtian didn't react. He opened his mouth and took in the very sweet preserved fruit flesh. It was also a little sour, but mainly sweet.
Very sweet.
The setting sun illuminated the road.
His wife was beside him.
His child was in his arms.
There was candy in his mouth.
That was enough.
He didn't care about other people's death.
