The brothers Wang Xianzhi stayed at Xi's house until Xichao's funeral. During the funeral, there were white papers all over the place and white flags in their eyes. They returned the gift and sent Xi Chao to the grave in mourning.

Grandfather Xi Yin also came, supported by two strong servants, and he was still on crutches, crying to see his son on his last journey.

A white-haired person sending a black-haired person, a tragic event in the world, and the road festival people couldn't help but feel sad.That's the eldest son of the Xi family, the heir can't afford to die!

However, Xi Chao died in the end, died of excessive drinking, and died suddenly in his prime, leaving his family with nothing but grief and pain.

Xi Chao is buried in peace, relatives and friends of the aristocratic family are slowly leaving, and some things still need to be resolved.

A large number of cousins ​​from Zhou's family came from brothers, and gathered in the big room of Xi's family with their own family members.

"Little sister, don't be confused. I am deeply saddened by the death of Xi Jiabin, but you are still in your prime. Are you going to spend your whole life in Xi's family? You forever!" said the elder brother of the eldest aunt Zhou.

The rest of the Zhou family also echoed, persuading her to go home.Xi Chao and Zhou's two daughters looked at each other, not knowing what to say.Although the eldest lady and the second lady are of Xi Chao's blood, after they get married, they can only obey Qi Xiaoxiao for one year, just like their nephews, which means that they have been classified as outsiders by the secular world.At this time, when the husband dies, it is a routine operation for the wife to return home, especially when there is no male man.Your natal family is maintained by blood and will not treat you badly. If you are a widow in your husband's family and have no heirs, you will inevitably be wronged.But who can guarantee that it will be good for the mother to return to her natal family. If she is forced to marry again, what should she do?When they return to their natal home in the future, which side is their natal home?The eldest lady and the second lady don't know how to treat their mother well.

The Zhou family was sincerely guarding the spirit, knelt on the futon to answer the salute, and grieved over the death of her husband, so she couldn't get up at this time.Mrs. Zhou was lying on the soft couch, listening to the words of comfort from her natal brothers, but remained silent.

Zhou's eldest brother issued an ultimatum and asked, "Little sister, what do you mean?"

"Life is the same quilt and death is the same acupoint!" Zhou said these six words hoarsely.

"You have no heirs!" Zhou's eldest brother emphasized.If you don't have kids, you get bullied.Don't say those big things, this is the truth.My own family is in pain. The Zhou family is married to be the clan's wife. The Zhou family is reluctant to let her live in the face of others in the future.

"Yeah, I couldn't give birth to a boy for the guest, but he has always treated me sincerely. He didn't even buy a concubine. He usually cares about his relatives and takes good care of him. Where can I find a second husband like this. I have made up my mind not to marry him." Marry again, and after I die, just bury it with the guests.” Zhou and Xi Chao have a very good relationship, and under the huge pressure of inheriting the family, the childless Xi Chao also wanted to adopt, rather than ruining his wife, which was at the time It is rare.

"Okay!" A hoarse answer came from outside the door, and Xi Yin walked in slowly with the support of his two sons.

The brothers of the Zhou family stood up to greet him one after another, "Why is Xi Gong here? It's time to lie in bed and rest."

"My virtuous daughter-in-law, don't move, don't get up. The old man is here today to give the nephews of the Zhou family a reassurance. The virtuous daughter-in-law stays in the Xi family for a day, and is supported by the Xi family for a day. She is still the clan wife of my Xi family. The old man said Go out and practice!" Xi Min leaned on his crutches, panting.

Everyone in the Zhou family looked at each other, and those with quick brains had already gone to see Xi Rong.Xi Chao is dead, and Xi Rong is the natural heir. After all, Xi Min is old.

Xi Rong cupped his hands and bowed: "My lord father said that in the future, the Xi family will do their best to support the sister-in-law, and will be the heir for the elder brother and sister-in-law. He will still be the heir of my Xi family."

Wow—everyone in the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best ending.The Zhou family is still the clan's wife. She teaches the future heirs to grow up, their status is guaranteed, and their lives will not be too bad.

In this way, the Zhou family praised Xi's family for being honest and honest, and there was no wrong marriage.Xi Yin is fair and reasonable, Xi Chao respects his wife, and Xi Rong brothers want to make money. What a good family!

Zhou's elder brother bowed on behalf of the Zhou family, thanking them for being kind to his little sister.In this way, Zhou's family told Zhou to leave for one or two days.Speaking of this, there is no need to ask who the adoptive candidate is. Don't you see that the person who threw the basin and carried the banner in the mourning hall is Xi Rong's eldest son and Xi's patriarch Sun Xiche?

Forced to send the Zhou family members away, Xi Yin fainted amid the exclamation of the two sons, and Zhou struggled to get up from the couch and fell to the ground, crying and rushing over.

When Xi Yin woke up, there were people sitting or standing in front of the bed, full of people.The family of the son Xi Rong and Xi Chong, the family of Xi Hui and Xi Daomao of the younger brother's family, and even the Zhou family who could not get up were carried over.

Xi Yin blinked his cloudy eyes and sighed: "It's time for me. This life is so unfortunate. I was born in troubled times and grew up in the flames of war. My brothers, wives, and sons all left me. I have bald teeth and old eyesight. , I think it's about time."

"Father, don't talk about being discouraged. You are in good health. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will have a long life. How can Father have the heart to leave us?" Xi Rong took his father's hand and began to cry.

"Life and death are definite, and human power can't change it. My time has come!" Xi Yin slowly closed his eyes, and there was silence, scaring the people around him to cry for the doctor to come forward.

"Xi Gong was just too tired and fell asleep." The doctor said so.

Only then did everyone let go of their worries. The talented heir had just died, and if there were any problems with the prestigious Patriarch, the Xi family would really fall out of the ranks of first-rank families.

Xi Rong waved his hand and asked everyone to leave the inner room for convalescence. When they got to the outer room, Xi Rong asked the doctor with red eyes, "Last time you said that father is in good health, why is he always lethargic and unable to get up?"

"Mr. Erlang, this is the essence of human beings. Xi Gong is in good health, and his pulse showed that he still has at least 20 years to live. But when Mr. Da Lang left, Xi Gong mourned too much and had the will to die. A disease that no doctor can cure!"

"Have a will to die?" Xi Rong murmured, tears could no longer hold back.

Others were also crying, Xi Hui also said with red eyes: "It's not because our children and grandchildren are not filial and can't make uncle happy. Our family lined up to entertain relatives in colorful clothes in front of uncle's bed, and performed filial piety at the knees. Uncle Seeing the filial piety of your children and grandchildren, did you come out slowly?"

"I would like to sleep on the bed in my grandfather's house. My grandfather used to love to listen to my jokes, and I tell them every day!" Tuen was the first to raise his hand to sign up.

"Aunt also said before that he would test my homework, and I would read to him." Xi Che also expressed that he would be filial.

The other brothers and sisters spoke one after another, and Xi Rong sighed: "They are all good boys, let's try."

Tu En's jokes, Xi Che's poems, Xi Rong's crying, Xi Chong's pleading... Many children and grandchildren tried their best, but they still failed to make Xi Yin happy.The doctor's face became more and more serious, and everyone could no longer accept his shaking his head.

That night, Xi Che could only sit in the study all night, his eyes were red and bloodshot.The next day, the former members of the Xi family came to visit Xi Min who was seriously ill, and told him a big secret.

"Is it true what you said?" Xi Yin, who was lying on the bed waiting to die, sat up with a thud, tightly grasping Jiu Bu's hand and asked: "Is what you said true?"

"General Mingjian, if the subordinate officials say anything that is not true, let the subordinate officials be thundered and die!"

Hearing the categorical oath, Xi Yin knew that there was nothing wrong, and fell back on the bed in a state of despair, cursing: "Niezi! Rebellious minister! Rebellious son! Rebellious minister! My Xi family has been loyal for generations, how could there be such an unfaithful and unfilial person! Rebellious son Ann matches my condolences!"

Why did Xi Yin pat the bed and scold the dead eldest son?What this old minister brought was great news-Xi Chao had assisted Huan Wen in his attempt to usurp the throne.This is more than poking a hornet's nest!Xi Yin has always regarded himself as a loyal minister and good general, but his son is actually a traitor who rebelled against the king. How could Xi Yin, who has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life, accept it.

"Bring rice porridge, I can't die, I'm going to wake him up on his grave!" Xi Yin yelled, and the servant who was waved back ran in. Hearing that he was willing to eat, he wept with joy, and ran to the kitchen to be restrained. meals.

Before Xi Yin completely lost the will to survive, as long as he figured it out and was willing to eat and drink medicine, his body would quickly recover.As soon as he was able to get out of bed, Xi Yin had someone carry him to Xi Chao's grave, dismissed his servants, scolded his son severely as a minister, and said that he had not fulfilled his duties as a minister.It's better for his old father to wake him up first and let him be a loyal and upright minister in his next life.

But even if the servants were sent away, how could the news be kept secret.Xi Chao's deeds were originally a secret of the upper class. The courtiers headed by Xie An persuaded the emperor not to pursue it, and the Xi family did not follow anyone. When the emperor first came to the throne, stability was the most important thing, and there should be no wanton involvement.Now that times have changed, the Xi family is represented by Xi Hui, who is also the second wife in the court. He is capable, talented, and loyal to the court.

At this time, the aristocratic families are deeply intertwined, often one branch rebels, and the other suppresses the rebellion. After the dust settles, only one branch can be held accountable.For example, in the Wang family, when Wang Dun conspired against the rebellion, after Emperor Jin Ming quelled the rebellion, Wang Dun was exhumed and killed, but Wang Xizhi was still Wang Youjun.Not to mention this nephew, he is Wang Dun's son, and he is still serving as General Wei.

As soon as the news that Xi Yin scolded his son in front of the grave on crutches came out, everyone in the Jiankang court also thanked him for his loyalty, and they would not pursue the past and implicate the Xi family.

Great situation, right?Xi Yin is no longer ashamed, but with a new life, the scourge planted by the Xi family has been completely resolved.Even if Xi Chao's reputation is flawed after his death, in Xi's family, he is still the Dalang Lord, the grave is not moved, and the spiritual seat is still in the ancestral hall.The next heir of the Xi family will only adopt him and the Zhou family, which also guarantees the Zhou family's future life.What a perfect ending.

"Is this a great gift for my father?" Xi Min threw a stack of papers in front of Xi Rong, who knelt in the ancestral hall, where today there are only father and son.
