Golden Pink Building

Jin Quan's funeral was finished with great vigor and vigor. Waiting for the funeral, Mrs. Jin and her children bowed to thank relatives and friends who came to see Jin Quan for the last journey together.Relatives and friends who were far away all stepped forward to say some words of condolence to Mrs. Jin, and boarded the car one after another to go back to the city.Qingqiu and Shaoyi were a little worried that Yuanyuan was alone at home, Bai Shaoyi looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late.He whispered to his father quietly: "It's getting dark outside the city, I want to ask Qingqiu to go back first. Everyone has been tired for a few days, and mother's health is not good. Let's stay and help my aunt take care of it." , to see if there is anything that needs help. Tell mother and Qingqiu to go home first."

"That's right. We left Yuanyuan at home for a day. Although your mother-in-law came to help look after the child, it's not too much trouble for her all day. I'll go find your mother and ask the car to be ready." Jin Quan His coffin is temporarily placed in the temple, preparing for when Mrs. Jin returns to her hometown to take it to be buried in the ancestral tomb.As soon as Bai Wenxin stepped into the side hall where the female family members of the Jin family were resting, they heard a quarrel. "You cause trouble yourself and you will hurt everyone!" "What did I do? You make it clear in front of everyone!" Bai Wenxin couldn't help frowning. Jin Quan's coffin is still here. Start bickering?

Waiting for Bai Wenxin to go in, he saw the second son of the Jin family, Pengzhen and Yanxi, glaring at each other, like cocks fighting, wishing they could tear each other up and swallow them.Yanxi's face was flushed red, and she poked her neck at her second brother unwilling to show weakness, while Peng Zhen was furious, and taught Yanxi a lesson with his older brother's airs.Seeing his uncle coming in, Peng Zhen was embarrassed, but Yanxi was still relentless, and said to Bai Wenxin who had just entered the door: "It just so happens that my uncle is here, and you are an elder to help judge. I have already admitted my mistake these few days. Now, why should he still insist on telling others about me for three or four times? My father died of illness, so he wanted to charge me with the crime of patricide. I can't bear this tone. Say it in front of everyone."

Bai Wenxin was a little confused, he smiled perfunctorily: "You two should also understand your mother's mood, why are you arguing at this time? The seventh is a child's temper, you are his brother, don't be as knowledgeable as the younger brother. By the way, where is your aunt? ?”

"That's right, Lao Qi, don't take it to heart, let's go in and see mother. Aunt and mother are together, uncle please go in. It's getting late, you should go back with aunt. Today's matter is thanks to uncle and aunt Help." Feng Ju came out a little frustrated, in fact, he heard when the second child and the seventh child were arguing, Peng Zhen challenged Yan Xi, Yan Xi didn't understand what was going on, but Feng Ju could see clearly It became clear that Jin Quan was ill, and both himself and Yanxi had accidents. It seemed that Jin Quan was angry because of his son's disappointment.In fact, Jin Quan was basically unconscious at that time, and he still knew what happened later.Peng Zhen was really very active at the funeral, jumping up and down in front of relatives with the momentum of the manager to greet and send him off, revealing that his father died of anger because of being implicated by his son.He just wanted to suppress himself so that he could take advantage of the division of property.

However, Fengju did stumble, so he just swallowed his anger and thought about how to make it up.Bai Wenxin looked at Feng Ju's frustrated face, and comforted him: "Even if the matter of your father is over, people are born, old, sick, and die, who would have thought that your father would suddenly be fine—don't take your errands too seriously. , even though your father is gone, I can't watch others bully you for nothing. The current situation is tense recently, so you can bear it with peace of mind." Bai Wenxin felt that although Feng Ju was too playful, he still handled things in an orderly manner, and comforted him in a low voice Wife's nephew.

"Thank you uncle for still thinking about me. My father said before he was alive that my aunt and uncle are good people and can be relied on. You will die when you see the situation today. There are many brothers in my family. I couldn't tell when my father was around. Once he is gone, he becomes a mess. He thinks that my elder brother is not qualified enough and he will replace him." Feng Ju sighed deeply, he regretted that he was so obsessed that he insisted on redeeming Yan Hong.If it wasn't for the small mansion, there would be no subsequent events.It's just that there is no regret medicine in the family, and everything can't be repeated.

Seeing her husband coming in, Jin Ying stood up and said to her husband, "All the guests outside have left, it's getting late, let's go home too." Bai Wenxin looked at Mrs. Jin who was wearing a heavy filial piety. Today she is wearing a black lacquered dress with a coarse white cloth filial piety, and there are many white hairs on her temples, and Bai Wenxin is a little unrecognizable at a glance. "Sister-in-law, what else is there? She's gone. Sister-in-law is still mourning and watching the children take care of themselves. If you have anything to do, just talk, and we will help if we can."

Mrs. Jin's expression was calm, although her eyes were full of sadness, but she was not crying and crying, she was very calm.Mrs. Jin stood up and said to her sister-in-law: "Thank you for coming to see him off for the last time. I have seven children and I still have no one to take care of me? Thank you for your help these days. It's getting late, you go back, I want to live in the temple for a day and be with him at the end."

"Alright, don't be too sad, I'll go back and wait for a few days to see you." Jin Ying saw Mrs. Jin's expression, and knew that she had walked out of the grief of Jin Quan's death. Jin Ying He said some reassuring words to Mrs. Jin and followed her husband.

The car of the Bai family was parked outside the mountain gate. When Mrs. Bai came out, Shao Yi saw that Qing Qiu was standing in front of the car talking to a girl.Waiting for Mrs. Bai to come over, she saw Daozhi: "Why are you here? Your mother is going to stay here for the night. You should stay with her and talk at night, so as to save her from thinking wildly." Jin Ying felt that Jin Among the girls at home, Daozhi is a good one, and it is most appropriate to be with Mrs. Jin.

Who knows, but with a look of embarrassment, Qingqiu said to Mrs. Bai: "Don't worry about Daozhi, little babe, Liu Shouhua has already gone back, and Daozhi wants to go back with us." Qingqiu's words were cryptic, and Mrs. Bai heard It became clear that Daozhi was worried that Liu Shouhua would go to find that Japanese woman and still leave the child at home. "This Shouhua is real. When is the time, I still think about it. Forget it, your mother has Runzhi and the others, so you can go back with us." Mrs. Bai thought that Liu Shouhua was also obedient to Daozhi at the beginning. Baishun, who knew that he would become like this in a blink of an eye.Just after the funeral of the father-in-law, I went to the concubine's side.

Seeing that Daozhi was about to cry, Qingqiu couldn't bear to pull her and said: "Let's go together." Saying that, Qingqiu pulled Daozhi's car and left together.The car sped towards the city along the winding mountain road. Bai Shaoyi sat beside the driver, looking at the scenery outside silently. Daozhi wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and complained to Qingqiu: "I'm not the kind who refuses to Tolerant, it’s just that Shouhua is too confused. At this time, Shenghuo is entangled with Chunzi. Her Japanese identity is too conspicuous. With the example of the eldest brother in front of him, he doesn’t know how to avoid it. I mentioned it several times He also said angrily that I had ulterior motives, and that he believed in Chunzi’s character. Am I the kind of person who is jealous? I don’t know who poured him the ecstasy soup, and he was in a hurry to go back to see her as soon as he sent his father away. If it wasn't for his father's support—" Said the sad part, Daozhi choked up.

"Cousin, don't be sad, there may be something wrong with Shouhua. You also know that the relationship between China and Japan is tense now. Japan wants to seek greater interests in the Northeast. The ones above are in the Northeast. How can you allow others to snore next to the couch? Shouhua's You should understand that there are many things. As for the woman's matter, you just talk to Shouhua properly." Bai Shaoyi comforted her cousin, Mrs. Jin's most beloved daughter is Daozhi, and she will discuss everything with this daughter.Thinking of how she was like a big sister in the past, her mother-in-law's family always said what she said, but suddenly she didn't have her father as a backer, and she was panic-stricken, really pitiful.

"I can only think this way. I have nothing now, what else can I do? Thank you, I feel better. In fact, Shouhua is still very good to me, and I am not angry for a woman, but just feel sorry for the world. The matter of my father made me understand a lot at once. What was the family like when it was prosperous in the past, with guests coming and going every day, full of people. Now, although the funeral is still very beautiful, others look at us differently Let alone outsiders, brothers and sisters have lost the intimacy they used to have. I am sad that the kind of affection before is gone. Why are people’s hearts realistic, and the reality is a bit scary.” Daozhi said more and more sadly, holding the handkerchief He covered his face and burst into tears.

"Relatives or Yu Bei, others have already sang. You are a person who understands why you suffer yourself and insist on getting into a dead end? Things in the world are scattered more than gatherings. There is no permanent banquet in a long shed for thousands of miles. In the future The days are still long, and you should cheer up for your aunt and children." Qingqiu has seen through life and death, and is not at all surprised that the Jin family has gone from prosperity to today.Daozhi listened to Qingqiu's words, and he didn't say all the scene words like mourning, taking care, etc. like others.But Qingqiu's few faint words seemed like a slap in the face, Daozhi's heart suddenly became much calmer and quieter.

"What you said is that I have children. Isn't that the way things are in the world? I can only enjoy the blessings and can't stand the desertedness. What kind of person is that? It's been a long time to see people's hearts. Those sweet words are nothing when you are usually fine. , true friendship is a life worth entrusting to those who give you help in times of crisis. Cousins ​​and sisters-in-law thank you for enlightening me." Daozhi wiped away his tears and cast a grateful look at Qingqiu.

"Don't thank me, I was worried that you would flood Jinshan in the car, and your sister-in-law can't swim!" Bai Shaoyi joked, and the atmosphere in the car eased.

Daozhi looked at Bai Shaoyi and Qingqiu enviously, and said with emotion: "I used to think that my aunt's family only had one child, my cousin, and it must be very lonely. Now I find that it is wonderful to have only one child. Peng Zhen and his wife are enough to act." It's enough, my mother and I and we were all deceived by them. The second young lady who used to hide behind others and shook her head in doubt disappeared. When did she become articulate? The second brother and Lao Qiying are already torn apart. It's embarrassing, in order to protect Yanxi, the matter of spending 2 yuan in the family has become the second brother's excuse to attack the seventh."

Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi thought about the behavior of the Jin family's children, they looked at each other and were speechless.Hui Chang changed his usual image of not doing housework and not being a leader, but he became articulate and flirtatious among the guests, welcoming and sending them off, while instructing the servants how to arrange tea and dinner, and how to invite guests.They actually squeezed Mrs. Jin and the eldest young mistress Xiufang to the back.

Not to mention that Peng Zhen turned against Lao Qi almost openly, complaining to his relatives and friends that it was Lao Qi who caused all the disasters. "Last night you never thought of what the second brother said to his mother. He even said that Yanxi was the murderer who killed his father. Although Yanxi could not be kicked out of the house because of brotherhood, but in order to protect Yanxi The bail money that came out was paid by Yanxi herself. Look, this is her own brother." Daozhi's words shocked Qingqiu and Bai Shaoyi, they never expected that the sons of the Jin family would openly turn against each other because of the family property.
