She was standing in the small courtyard waiting for Aunt Ye to reply, and accidentally saw that the two crabapple plants in the courtyard had gradually thinned out their branches and leaves, but in her impression they were full of flowers, and when she thought about it, she suddenly realized that she and Jiang Dushi had not seen each other for a long time.

In fact, there are only a handful of times when she stayed here. Jiang Dushi has been worshiping Buddha in Qingliang Temple for many years. Even in the mansion, he often refused to see her.Sometimes she thinks it's good, but she really doesn't know how to get along with Jiang Dushi, and now she doesn't know how to tell her the news of Liangzhou, and... the news of Jiang Qi's death.

...Is it news of death?

When she thought of this, she couldn't help being in a trance, thinking that she must be in a dream.How could Jiang Qi pass away?He is still in his prime, and his skills are not inferior to hers; he is the backbone of Liangzhou City, a general who has made every effort to win and defeat the enemy; Going south; he is the powerful arm in the memory, he... She pinched her palm fiercely, feeling the pain clearly, but the nightmare still hasn't woken up.She only felt that her heart was cold, but she knew that she could not let herself think about it any longer, so she tried to turn her mind back to her eyes, but she was still faced with an unsolvable knot—how should she speak?

She stood there in a daze, only to feel that the distant sky and the courtyard began to blur, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the chaos. It was Jiang Dushi, slightly startled unconsciously.

Jiang Dushi also obviously knew that she saw him, so he stopped after going down two steps, and stood there condescendingly looking at her, his expression was as calm as ever, calm and almost indifferent, as if she was an irrelevant person at all.

Jiang She regained his composure, only feeling astringent in his heart.She told herself that it was nothing, she had gotten used to it early, but today she still couldn't help feeling wronged.It wasn't like this a long time ago, even though my mother at that time was silent, she would still smile at her, help her to compete with her elder brother, and frown at her when she couldn't be bothered. She made up stories, she held her mother's hand, and she always slept very sweetly... But the woman in front of her was the cold one, making her feel that the gentle and amiable mother in her memory never existed at all.She couldn't figure it out no matter what, or she didn't want to think about it. They... how did they get to where they are today?

The sound of mother's kiss stuck in her throat, and she could only look at her without saying a word.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Dushi who spoke first, and his tone was still so cold that there was no warmth: "Is it about Liangzhou?"

That's right... She must have already guessed it, otherwise how would she come out to see her.It's just mother... just mother... Apart from these, is there really nothing to say between us?Jiang She looked up at Jiang Dushi's expressionless face, and almost couldn't help but ask, but in the end he just nodded slightly, "Yes."

Jiang Dushi was not surprised, "What's the matter?"

"If you go back to your mother, the situation in Yuzhou has changed. The child has been ordered to go north, and he can't serve his mother these days. I'm here to apologize." Jiang She took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and replied in a generally flat tone, " Also...the news came from Liangzhou, the father died of illness, and the current situation in the court is in turmoil, His Majesty's intention is not to mourn for the time being, my son... my son can't do the responsibility of a son of man, please forgive my mother."

Jiang Dushi slightly nodded, "Understood."

Although Jiang She was expecting something, he still didn't dare to believe it, he just stared at her blankly, perhaps seeing that she was silent for a long time, Jiang Dushi asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Jiang She wanted to open her mouth, but she was at a loss for words. She felt that she should have a thousand words, but in the end she couldn't find a word. What could she say?To comfort her in mourning?But even though she knew that Jiang Du's heart was turbulent, but she didn't have a look of sadness on her face, how could she speak?After all, he just shook his head, "No more."

Jiang Dushi glanced at her, "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, righteousness comes first, just do it, but remember, don't humiliate Jiang's lintel."

Jiang She answered yes, watched Jiang Dushi go into the house, but didn't leave immediately, just looked at the empty branches, and thought in a trance that it should be such a time in that year, no, Maybe even later.

Winter in Liangzhou always comes too early, the snow falls quickly, and the weather is freezing cold. That year was especially cold. Many people in the city were infected with cold and heat, and she and her elder brother were not spared either.At the beginning, no one paid much attention to it. The two brothers and sisters were alive and well on weekdays, and they were always tossing and tossing. It is not a bad thing to be able to be quiet for two days after a minor illness.No one could have imagined that it would become more and more heavy later on, and no matter how much medication was used, it would not improve. The doctors accompanying the army were helpless, so they had to go far away to seek medical advice.Jiang Dushi guarded them day and night, but she was not in good health, so she fell down first.But these things were only heard later, those days were a complete mess in her memory, she seemed to be dreaming one after another, going through icebergs and seas of fire one by one, accompanied by her elder brother at first, In the end, she was alone, and when she finally struggled to wake up, she only remembered clamoring to see her brother and mother.But nobody paid any attention.

The maid who took care of her just coaxed her, told her to be obedient and drink her medicine, and she would be able to see her brother and mother again soon.But she was used to self-willedness at that time, why would she wait for a while longer, and when she went out, she crept down to the ground, only to hear her sigh behind her back, saying to herself how can we see each other again, if she knows that the young master is gone, the madam is afraid Can't make it through.

Although she is still young, she also understands what it means not to see each other again.At that moment, it was like five thunderbolts, and she fainted in a hurry. When she woke up, Jiang Qi was sitting next to her. She asked again and again, and then she believed that brother would never come back again, and mother...she Maybe never again.Jiang Qi still didn't allow her to see Jiang Dushi, now she naturally knew that she was afraid that she would relapse, but how could she care so much at that time, she was going to see her mother, but also to make her happy, to make her get better... in her heart Thinking like this, I don't know where the idea came from, remembering that they used to be said that they were brothers and sisters alike, so they put on brother's clothes and wanted to sneak away to see Jiang Dushi, but Jiang Qi caught him right away.

At that time, she actually had a faint fear of Jiang Qi in her heart. She was afraid that he would scold her, and she was also afraid that she would never see Jiang Dushi again.Jiang Qi didn't speak or get angry, just looked at her for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and when she was tired from crying, he asked in a low voice if she would do something for him.

She didn't know when she returned to the room, and there was a letter from Shi Zhan on the desk, which was written by Jiang Qi.There was still nothing important in his letter, he chatted here and there, asking her when she would leave, and the last time the outcome was not decided, he was still waiting to compete with her, and finally said: All these years, I have wronged you.

There is not a single word about the condition, but if you look closely, the strength of the writing can be seen to be vain.

The situation in Liangzhou has been difficult these years, and she actually knows it well.Jiang Yan couldn't hold back his words. Although he didn't dare to speak out in the letter, he still vomited bitterness, and she could guess one or two from his complaints.When Jiang Qi was transferred to Liangzhou, most of the elite soldiers and generals under his command remained in Youzhou. Knowing that the lord was jealous, and the soldiers might not be willing to submit to his jurisdiction, Situ You of course wanted to divide them up, but now you are all lost. It can be seen.Jiang Rui has retired for many years, Jiang Yan is still young, and there is really no one around Jiang Qi. Although it is peaceful now, if there is any emergency, can the whole Beiguan be entrusted to Situ You?She can't trust him, and neither can Jiang Qiding.

As he said before, Beiguan belongs to Jiang's family, and only Jiang's family will guard Beiguan as a home.

That day Jiang Qi babbled a lot to her, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time, and couldn't remember a few words afterwards, but she could probably think of what he said.It is nothing more than to say that their Jiang family has been stationed in Youliang for generations, just to keep the peace of Beiguan. This is the glory of their Jiang family, and it is also the mission of the Jiang family. Now that there is no brother, Jiang Du will not be able to survive. , only their father and daughter are left to depend on each other, if God is merciful and can save Jiang Dushi's life, he has no intention of having another child, she is enough.

She only clearly remembered that he called her name, looked at her with eyes she couldn't understand, and asked her if she would like to replace her elder brother and live from now on.

She didn't quite understand what he meant at that time, she only wanted to see brother, she only wanted to see mother, she only wanted this.She asked if he would agree, and when he agreed, she made a high-five with him and made a deal. Later, he changed her and brother's jade rings and put them on for her with his own hands; after that, she gradually got used to it. Being called the young master, he got used to studying martial arts every day strictly, the person who got used to coaxing her to sleep turned into Jiang Qi who sneaked in secretly, and even gradually got used to being indifferent to her after recovering from illness. Jiang Dushi.

Are you wronged?Not without grievances.Do you regret it?But never regretted it.

She has already understood the meaning of Liangzhou to her and to their Jiang family. Even if her brother is still there, she cannot forget Liangzhou, let alone now, Liangzhou is her root and soul.It's just that she always thought that Jiang Qi was invincible, even though people always called him old general old general, she never really felt that he was old.But in fact, Xu Zhi and Du Guozhang, who were as old as he, also had gray hair on their sideburns, but she never thought that he was over fifty years old.

How dull, how stupid, how unworthy she was!

If she hadn't been afraid of Emperor Zhaoning's suspicion, if she hadn't gone north, if she hadn't pretended to be deaf and dumb all these years and didn't dare to stand out, she could have stayed by his bed today, and could have told him herself that she would not If you are wronged, you will never regret it.

But she couldn't think about it anymore, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, she clenched the jade ring more and more tightly, desperately suppressing all her thoughts.She can't think at this moment, can't think of anything, can't think about these things, she still has too many things to do, too many things, too many things.

It's just... Dad, why can't you wait for the baby?
