Fight the Giants - Chapter 930
My name is Huo Nian, also Zhang Yuzhong.
The name Huo Nian seems to be a long time away from me. Ever since my sister brought me back to the Zhang family that year, everyone called me Zhang Yuzhong, or Zhang Shizi. Even my adoptive parents and uncles call me Yuzhong, only my sister occasionally calls me Nianer in private.
But my sister was gone yesterday. From now on, no one will call me Huo Nian again.
I sat in the mourning hall of my sister and brother-in-law, and I was stunned.
It is said that people are rare in seventy years old, but my father lived to be seventy-five years old. When he was dying, he went to the battlefield with a gun, and finally died on the battlefield of civil engineering changes.
And my brother-in-law also lived to be an octogenarian, although he was only one year away. My sister also lived to be seventy-five. As for me, I am sixty-nine this year, and I am one year away from the so-called seventy-year-old.
It is said that there are few people in their seventies, but there are several long-lived people in my family.
The father is one, and he has experienced seven generations and seven emperors. My sister and brother-in-law are two more, they, like me, have experienced eight generations and seven emperors. Like us, ten people cannot be found in the whole capital.
It has been seven years since I was born in Jianwen year. I don’t know whether we live long, or this David’s emperor is short-lived.
I originally thought that my sister and brother-in-law would live to be a hundred years old and travel around the world hand in hand, but they both passed away yesterday.
My brother-in-law walked ahead, and my sister didn’t live a moment longer.
My brother-in-law has been working hard to survive these years. Before he gets old, he still wakes up to practice for an hour or two every day.
Brother-in-law is reluctant to abandon her sister, leaving her alone in the world. When he was dying, he still held on to his sister’s hand, fearing that he would not find her at Naihe Bridge.
Brother-in-law lives hard every day, and goes out with my sister. Who doesn’t envy my sister in the capital?
But he couldn’t hold on yesterday, and finally left my sister behind.
My elder sister didn’t shed a single tear, and calmly directed all the children and grandchildren to clean up my brother-in-law and ordered the servants to handle my brother-in-law’s funeral. I tidied up, lay down next to my brother-in-law, and went with my brother-in-law.
Huo Nian’s eyes were in a trance, thinking about the past of his sister and brother-in-law over the years, tears could not help but wet his eyes…
“Uncle, let’s rest in the house. You have been here for several hours. You must take care of yourself.”
I looked for the voice in a trance, blinked and blinked, and then I saw the person clearly, “It’s Ju’er and Xuan’er.” I raised my sleeve and pressed it at the corner of my eye.
“Uncle, don’t be too sad. My father and mother are happy and mourning. They both left with a smile. Don’t be sad.” Mu Zhen choked up and persuaded me, and Mu Zhen also persuaded me with red eyes.
“Okay, you are all good children. Uncle is fine, so I just want to quietly accompany your parents for a while. Leave me alone. Can you tell your elder brother immediately?”
Mu Jue nodded at me, “Yesterday, I sent a pigeon message to my brother. I think my brother has already received the letter.”
I nodded, “That’s good. Your father and mother value your eldest brother the most, and hope he can come back in time to see your parents for the last time.”
I looked at the huge mourning hall. Two dark nanmu coffins were placed side by side in the middle of the mourning hall. The surrounding area was completely white, and white banners hung from the roof beams, fluttering in the wind. I just felt empty in my heart.
“Leave me alone, let me accompany your parents quietly.” I waved away Ju’er and Zhen’er.
Qian Guogong and his wife passed away, there must be many people who will come to express their condolences, and they have to entertain guests, and they shed no less tears than me. Their voices were all hoarse from crying, and they didn’t care what I did, and let me quietly accompany my sister and brother-in-law here for a while.
I looked at the incense table in the middle of the mourning hall. The incense burner above it was filled with incense.
I followed the cigarette and looked, the curling white smoke was blown by the wind, just like the green waves in the Qinhuai River that year.
I still remember the green waves in the Qinhuai River, fluttering, sometimes gentle and sometimes intense.
When it is less intense, when it is more, it only rippling slightly, like my adoptive mother and adoptive father gently hugging me in my arms when I was young… The green waves of the Qinhuai River, it raised me up.
I am unfortunate. I was born in Zhuangzi, and lost my mother before the full moon. Even though I have drawn hundreds of thousands of pictures of my mother, I still can’t remember her face clearly, I have no memory of her.
But I was lucky again. I have a good sister, the best sister in the world.
That year, the imperial court was changed, and my maternal ancestor’s family was in trouble, and my mother was also affected. My grandmother Wang and my father’s concubine, Wu, poisoned my mother. My life was hanging by a moment.
Before I was five years old, I mostly lived on the fishing boat of my adoptive parents. Later, I went to the city and lived in a house. Later, my sister and I returned to the Zhang Mansion.
Even though I was rich and well-clothed later, with a high bed and soft pillows, I first became the son of a British prince and then became a British prince, enjoying all the wealth and honor in the world, but I still miss the fishing boat at my adoptive parents’ home the most.
Swinging slowly, swaying with the green waves, it is best to fall asleep.
I plunged into the water every day, and plunged into the water naked, feeling extremely happy. My sister said that I looked like a small whitebait after entering the water, and the small whitebait was also naked.
I was tired from playing in the water, so I climbed back to the fishing boat and lay down on the deck to watch the stars. Listening to the sound of the water at night, supported by the swaying green waves of the Qinhuai River, I fell asleep soundly in just a moment.
Afterwards, I never slept as soundly as I slept on a fishing boat.
Later, my sister and I returned to Zhang’s Mansion, and I never slept on the fishing boat again.
Later, when I got older, my father told me about my relatives, and I only asked my sister’s opinion. If my sister disagreed, I just said I didn’t like it.
Later, I fell in love with a woman. When she raised her eyes and smiled at me, I felt my bones crumble. I told my sister that I wanted to marry her.
My sister smiled and said nothing, but within two days she told me that she disagreed. I know she must have asked her brother-in-law to send someone to investigate, and she must have found something.
Although I was a little lost, I listened to my sister the most since I was a child. My brother-in-law loves me and loves me the most. I know they will not harm me.
I later listened to my sister’s words and married Xu Shi, the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo. Within a year, I gave birth to my eldest son Zhang Jing. Later, Mrs. Xu gave birth to two sons and a daughter for me.
Ms. Xu is generous and intelligent, and she is in charge of one of the affairs of the Zhang family. She has never frowned. Whenever I look at her, she always looks calm and breezy. Taking care of housework and dealing with people outside is also very easy, and her father and sister are very satisfied with her.
Mrs. Xu not only cooks well in Zhongfei, but also is good at raising children. She raised Jing’er to be versatile in both civil and military affairs, and she is very sensible and filial. Not only did she give birth to them, she even brought up a few concubine children very well.
I have to admire my sister’s vision.
Although I have two concubines and three concubine children, I still love Xu’s first wife the most. Although I can’t be as loyal and dedicated as my brother-in-law treats my sister, I have given everything I can to Mrs. Xu.
I sat in the mourning hall of my sister and brother-in-law all night, and finally returned to the British government with the help of my eldest son Zhang Jing.
That night, I had a dream, dreaming that Mrs. Wu was not dead, but my sister died due to dystocia in the second year of marriage.
And I also married the woman I liked, and the husband and wife were loving, but she never gave birth to a son and a half daughter, and she became depressed and left within a few years. Later, I remarried again, but my continuation wife still failed to give me a son and a half. Then I fell off my horse while riding and limped one leg.
Although I am still the son of the world, I have no heirs, and there is nothing under my knees. I took many concubines, but none of them gave me children.
In middle age, a concubine of mine finally gave birth to a son for me. I was very happy and wanted to straighten her up, but my father disagreed.
Later, when my father passed away, Mrs. Wu said that I had a leg problem and could not become a nobleman, and my only son also said that his origin was unknown and his blood was not right. In the end, Zhang Jie inherited the title of Duke of England, and Wu was also made Mrs. Tai.
And I was depressed, and within two years I was gone.
At night, I woke up like a big dream and sat up under the quilt. I sat for a long, long time at night, thinking about my life.
My whole life, I have been protected by my sister. Although I lived in a poor family when I was young, my sister has always been by my side. My adoptive parents love me and I have never suffered a little bit. Later, when I returned to the mansion, I became the eldest son, and also assumed the title of Duke of England, and I was proud of my life.
All this is because of having a sister.
But the sister who loved me and protected me left me and left.
The next day, Zhang Jing got up early and came to his father’s yard, wanting to ask him if he would go to his aunt’s house to express his condolences today, but he called several times but got no response. My heart tightened, and I hurriedly opened the door…
“Father!”
The second-generation British Duke passed away peacefully in his sleep. Followed his sister and brother-in-law to another world.
