When Mrs. Wu arrived, she naturally had nothing to say, and Sun Quan left the city obediently.
Mrs. Wu is already very old.
The human body is like an upward parabola. After middle age, it begins to fall downwards, and the farther back it falls, the faster it falls. In the later stages, it is almost like falling vertically!
Moreover, it is basically irreversible.
Therefore, people often lament that they have aged so quickly in just one year, etc. However, many young people will not understand such laments or feelings until the day they grow old themselves.
A few years ago, Mrs. Wu could still drive around in a car and go up and down stairs without any problem. However, in the past two years, she has been unable to climb stairs. She has no energy to go anywhere on weekdays. If there hadn't been too much movement this time,
Mrs. Wu wouldn't have worked so hard to come here either.
As soon as Sun Quan paid his respects to Mrs. Wu, she was scolded aside by Mrs. Wu, "Get out of the way, don't block your eyes!"
Sun Quan swallowed his saliva and then shrank aside.
Opposite him is Sun Lang.
Zhou Yu did not attend the meeting, but was leading the repressive army outside. It was not easy for Zhou Yu to attend such a meeting. So from a certain point of view, it was the meeting of the Sun family themselves.
Sun Lang took out a small wine gourd, the size of a palm, held it in his hand, opened the stopper, smelled it, but did not drink it, just shook it gently in his hand.
"We haven't seen each other for many years, but Lang'er has not changed much. Instead, he is old and getting weaker. I'm afraid his time is running out..."
Hearing the soft sound of Sun Lang shaking the wine gourd, Mrs. Wu raised her eyes and looked at Sun Lang, and said something as normal, her tone was slightly flat, and there was no special expression of emotion.
After a short meeting, the atmosphere was not as awkward as it was at first. Sun Lang laughed, put the small wine gourd in front of him, glanced sideways at Sun Quan, and replied: "Why do you have to say this, mother? Don't worry, we can't fight."
, I wouldn’t go so far as to bully my brothers...』
"Don't worry? Yes, it's time to rest assured. Our children and grandchildren are extraordinary, but old people are the most disgusting. It's time to avoid the banquet!" Mrs. Wu also turned to look at Sun Quan, and then sighed.
Both of them obviously had something to say, and Sun Quan on the side wanted to say something, but when he saw Mrs. Wu's stern look, he lowered his head again.
Mrs. Wu sat up straight, looked down at Sun Lang, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice with her lips moving: "Lang'er, Lang'er, can you tell me what you really want? Ask yourself, you
Although you are a concubine, since you were a child, all your food, clothing, civil and military expenses, and old age have made you half a point less than other brothers? But today, it is you, why you? The whole Sun family, brothers, brothers, flesh and blood
What does family love mean to you?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Wu seemed to have some mist in her eyes, revealing a weakness and sadness that Sun Quan had never seen before.
Sun Lang sat up straighter and said: "My son is truly grateful to his mother, and all these cunning words cannot evade him! His broken body was imprisoned in Wangjiang River, and his soul drifted far away and suddenly came back, only seeking relief. Now he has to pay homage to his benefactor."
, I realized that I am not without anyone to care about me. Even though I am imprisoned, I am not lonely. I am deeply aware of the hardships of my mother. I only regret that the villains are separated and cannot share the labor and worries. Now that I have little ability, I pride myself on being able to help.
The family hopes that the mother will accept her approval, and then she will feel at ease..."
While Sun Lang was speaking, he bowed deeply again and continued in a deep voice: "No matter what the rumors are outside, in my heart, I just feel that although my mother is not my biological child, she is better than my biological child. Now it disturbs my mother's purity and fails to stabilize the Sun family."
, I really feel incompetent, extremely ashamed, and wish I could..."
Sun Quan couldn't help it and said angrily: "Sun Lang! Do you think I can't hear your sarcasm?"
Sun Lang laughed, "Oh? You still have ears... Oh, no, you still have a heart? Can you still understand? Rare, rare!"
"You..." Sun Quan was furious.
"Okay!" Madam Wu cleared away the moisture in her eyes, rubbed her head with a headache, and then asked Sun Lang again, "What do you want?"
Although both sentences are the same "What do you want?", the tone is completely different. The former one is soft, while the latter one is strong.
Sun Lang burst out laughing, as if he had encountered the most ridiculous thing, "Right? The matter has come to this, so why bother with lies?"
"Yes, why bother with lies..." Mrs. Wu took a breath and smiled bitterly, "I really didn't expect that after so many years, Lang'er has made great progress..."
Sun Lang also smiled, and the smile was also a little bitter, "I have to examine myself three times every day, am I being unfaithful in my behavior? Do I not trust my friends when I make friends? Is my communication unaccustomed? If I think about it day and night, I will naturally gain something."
The three of them were silent for a moment.
Sun Lang raised his eyes and stared at Sun Quan, "I don't ask for anything else. The only regret is that the Sun family's fortune cannot be entrusted to virtuous people! It is not difficult to satisfy one's desires, even if it is Jiangdong, how can it be difficult to support him alone?"
? I'm afraid that the importance is not distinguished, the burden is big but the capacity is small, and the few are arrogant and reckless! My mother, the Sun and Wu clans rely on each other's wealth, but I don't know that these people are focused on gains and losses, are mediocre, and don't understand the importance. They are really unworthy of others.
also."
"You...you you..." Sun Quan pointed at Sun Lang, "How brave! You actually slandered me!"
"Huh," Sun Lang ignored Sun Quan's incompetent rage and turned to Mrs. Wu and said, "In addition to expressing his grievance and depression, the child is also hoping to be close to his mother, but he can be on his knees day and night.
Be taught and trained, and no longer be hindered by evil emotions..."
Sun Quan almost jumped up, you are the one with evil feelings, your whole family is evil, oh, no, it seems that even he is involved...
Sun Quan took a deep breath, an idea flashed through his mind, and he suddenly said: "Brother Lang said all these things... but did you deliberately anger me?"
Sun Lang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ha, it seems you have made progress too."
Mrs. Wu glanced at Sun Quan, then turned to look at Sun Lang, with a trace of sarcasm on her lips, and sneered: "As you said, the current situation is as you wish?"
Sun Lang said: "Although there are differences, they can be mended. On the contrary, if they are allowed to rot, I am afraid they will be hard to change! I don't want my father to be famous all his life and end up like this! Therefore, the child works hard, although
It’s a little bit lacking in love, but it can be kept in the heart.』
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she started laughing. She just laughed lowly at first, and then her laughter gradually became louder. In the end, she pointed at Sun Lang and laughed so hard that she stopped after a while, raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and laughed.
Tears bursting out of her eyes, "Interesting, interesting! After years of difference, we really see each other with different eyes. Before I met you, I was still angry, but after meeting you, my mind became clear. Lang'er has made such progress, no wonder, no wonder!"
Mrs. Wu smiled, stared, and then said, "It's just that this makes me regret even more. I should have gotten rid of you back then. I really should have gotten rid of you back then! It's just a thought of not letting go!"
Sun Lang's smile faded.
"You pride yourself on your complacency and your calculations, but you don't know that you are just as good as this idiot!" Mrs. Wu pointed at Sun Quan, and then at Sun Lang, "Such idiots are ruining the Sun family's foundation, but you... are arrogant.
Arrogant and unaware of the heights of the world, you have long fallen into the calculations of others and been manipulated by others!"
Sun Lang's eyes darkened.
"Think about it for yourself. I have to check myself three times, but you should save one!" Madam Wu said angrily, "What does the Sun family rely on to suppress Jiangdong? Is it based on your three provinces? Is it based on the inheritance of classics? All of them.
No! It relies on the soldiers in hand! It relies on the stability of the army! And you... you! Today, I was completely destroyed by you, a fool! From today on, the Sun family will no longer be peaceful! You, Sun Lang, will take the lead! Others will follow.
!』
"You are really a beautiful son of the Sun family! Good! Very good!" Mrs. Wu scolded, "Your father hates those hypocritical people the most, and often laments that he has to be hypocritical and submit to others... Therefore, your brother Ce is
There is no room for this...to be too strong...to the point...』
Mrs. Wu said, tears welling up in her eyes, "Now, now...a fool learns to have bad intentions, and a fool learns to be serious, they are exactly the same! They are exactly the same!"
"If you really have deep love and care, how can you dare to make big plans? If you really know that all you have is derived from the family's gifts, how can you fight with a sword?"
"Idiot! Idiot! How could the Sun family have two of your brothers!"
"Could it be that God wants to destroy the Sun family?!"
At the end of her speech, Mrs. Wu's voice was fierce, as if she was heartbroken.
Sun Quan lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Mother, calm down, calm down, take care of yourself. It's your fault that you are stupid."
Sun Lang lowered his head and reached out to hold the small wine gourd in front of him. He did not kowtow to admit his mistake like Sun Quan. He did not admit his mistake back then, and naturally he would not admit it now. Although the son of the Sun family behaved slightly differently,
They all have the same stubborn temper at their core.
After a long time, when Mrs. Wu's breath calmed down a little, Sun Lang said slowly: "In this case, I don't want to ask for too much... There is only one thing..."
Sun Lang raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wu, "In the past, when I was in power, Brother Ce's son had not yet been born. I didn't know whether the man or woman would be lucky... Now that Brother Ce's son has grown up, why not return the power? This way
For the inheritance of the family, the ethics are always in order!』
Sun Quan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then turned back to look at his mother.
"..." Mrs. Wu's breathing became erratic, and she paused for a moment before saying, "Lang'er has such a desire to remember the family bloodline... which is very good... but he is still young and cannot take on big responsibilities..."
"Therefore..." Sun Lang turned his attention to Sun Quan, "Mother, you are always trying to protect me, no matter whether this person is right or wrong? You can even ignore the inheritance of ethics? Since you have a posthumous son, why can't you let him go? This
Is there any way to refute ethics and let the people from Jiangdong criticize?"
"..." Mrs. Wu said, "Although there is a posthumous body, he is still weak and sick, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities. Therefore, we should wait until his body is stable before talking. Otherwise, there will be many shocks due to continuous changes, which is really not appropriate."
"Oh?" Sun Lang still looked sideways at Sun Quan, "How did I hear that...the younger brother bullied his elder brother and sister-in-law, imprisoned his elder brother's son, did not send teachers, and did not teach the principles of loyalty and filial piety... It's no wonder he is "frail and sick", no wonder he is "
It’s hard to pick a big job”…”
Halfway through, Sun Lang suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Wu, "Look at the look on my mother's face...she already knew it?! Ha! Hahaha, I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it! Haha, hahaha! Ridiculous!"
, Ridiculous! It turns out that everyone can say high-sounding words! Everyone can do dirty things behind the scenes! Hahahaha! Good! What a good mother! Good brother! 』
At this moment, Sun Lang truly felt the boundless helplessness and sadness, the despair that swallowed him up like a huge wave.
The initial disappointment started when Zhou Yu arrived, and then at this moment...
The only light had disappeared, leaving only darkness.
And the smell of decay in the darkness.
It was as if Sun Lang's own body was beginning to rot...
"Bastard!" Sun Quan said angrily, "Things are not what you think..."
"That's enough!" Mrs. Wu stopped Sun Quan and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to explain... Even if you explain, he may not be willing to listen... Lang'er, if you still have the flesh-and-blood relationship between your father and your brother in your heart,
, surrender immediately, there is still a way to survive!"
"Why can't you say it? Why don't you let him say it?!" Sun Lang glared at Mrs. Wu, "You know it all, right? In fact, you know it all, and you even participated in it, right?! That's right, that's Brother Ce's
...』
"That's enough!" Mrs. Wu said angrily, "This is not something you can participate in!"
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..." Sun Lang laughed, "I see, that's it... I understand, I understand..."
"What do you understand?" Sun Quan couldn't help but said, "You don't understand anything!"
"Hahaha... What else don't you understand? What else can't be said?" Sun Lang laughed and said, "Isn't it just that he was born in captivity and died in prison? Just like a certain person! Hahaha...
What a really good mother and really good brother!"
"Aha! My father's good wife! My good mother! And my good brother!" Sun Lang laughed, then raised the small wine gourd, poured some out, and dropped it on the ground, "
This is to respect heaven and earth! Respect father again! Three respectful brothers! Well...Brother Quan, would you like to drink?"
Sun Quan stared at Sun Lang coldly and did not answer.
Sun Lang shook his head and laughed, drank to himself, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "When I came out of Wangjiang Terrace, I didn't think about going back again! The Sun family... the people of the Sun family would rather die on the battlefield than die in shame on their bed!"
"Mother..." Sun Lang turned to look at Mrs. Wu, "I'm really unworthy. I failed to win some respect for my father, and I'm not very smart either. Sometimes I can't help but act out of impulse... But, haha, that's the end.
Once..."
"The people from Jiangdong are taking advantage of the gap between you and my brother to plan trouble..." Sun Lang said to Sun Quan again, "The fault is naturally mine... But I don't know if Brother Quan is satisfied? This is what you want.
?If you and I are close brothers, how can there be any chance for outsiders to cause trouble?! Ahem..."
Sun Lang seemed to be speaking passionately, coughing, and then took another sip of wine to himself, "Looking at the river from the terrace, the begonias are red among the begonia flowers... Year after year, day and night, Brother Quan
Do you think of me one day? Do you come to see me once? Just like the son of brother Ce, do you think he is the nephew of the Sun family and the blood of the Sun family?! Ah?! The crabapple tree planted by brother Ce is still there today.
Were you there?!』
"I asked people to chop them down!" Mrs. Wu said in a deep voice, "If the person dies, why are the trees left alive?!"
"..." Sun Lang was startled for a moment, then coughed violently, "Ahem... good chop! Ahem, good! Haha, good chop..."
While speaking, Sun Lang suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, then fell to the sky, and the small wine gourd in his hand rolled to the ground.
"you!"
Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan couldn't help but stand up.
Mrs. Wu looked back and forth between Sun Lang and the little wine gourd, "You... why are you doing this..."
"Haha... I said..." Sun Lang spread his arms and legs, "I came out... and I didn't plan to go back... I thought I could see the Sun family's... ahem, the Sun family's hope... now
I can’t see it anymore…』
Sun Lang suddenly stood up, black blood spurting from the corner of his mouth, staring at Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan, "I will go to Jiuquan to find my father and Brother Ce! Tell them what you two have done! Haha."
...cough cough cough..."
Sun Lang was exhausted and fell down again. His voice gradually faded, "Kill your son, imprison your brother... bully your daughter-in-law, harm your nephew... what a good mother and son... Haha, cough, cough, all words are righteous, haha, cough, cough."
Cough...I'm full of bullshit...I'll wait for you...I'm...under the Nine Springs...waiting for you..."
Sun Lang coughed violently again, spitting out a large amount of black blood, then breathed weakly and died.
Sun Quan stood blankly.
He didn't expect such a scene at all.
He never thought that Sun Lang would commit suicide!
Why commit suicide?
Why commit suicide?
I can’t figure it out at all!
Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Lang's body, her face turned white, and after a while she turned red again, her body was shaky...
"Mother, Mother..." Sun Quan hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"..." Mrs. Wu held Sun Quan's arm tightly, breathing violently, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood!
"Mother!"
"It's okay..." Perhaps the spit of blood helped dissipate some of the accumulated energy in her chest. Mrs. Wu wiped the corner of her mouth and glanced at Sun Quan, "I... I can't die for the time being... at least, I can't."
Die now...go! Send word to Zhou Gongjin and the officials in the city to come!"
"Mother..."
"Go quickly!" Mrs. Wu slapped Sun Quan on the head.
After a while, Mrs. Wu sat upright, while Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others stood at attention.
"If there is a way, merit will be rewarded, and crime will be punished. This is the general rule of the country. Only kindness and filial piety, only forgiveness and jealousy are the moral principles of the family. Now the power is in the east of the Yangtze River, and it has been awarded by the emperor, and the people are under it.
It is entrusted to me, and with all of you supporting and assisting me, I can build an unparalleled legacy!"
"The battle of swords and soldiers is unfolding in front of you. Even though you have been in battle for a long time, you can't help but be frightened. You are loyal and worried. You have lost all your food and drink, and your hair has not touched your pillow, just to protect the overall situation from collapse! You have worked hard..."
Mrs. Wu said in a deep voice, as if she was not the one who just vomited blood, "This traitor is good at swordsmanship, regardless of dignity and inferiority, trying to make a heavy weapon, and breaking it under the city. There is no other, but it depends on the will of God and the will of the people."
! He knew that his crime was serious and did not ask for forgiveness, so he drank poison and died!"
"The deceased is the big one. Although Lang'er has done evil deeds, he will eventually regret it. Now he will atone for his sins with death, and the rest will be exempted... Now Jiangdong is at a critical moment. The monarch and his ministers should work together to plan political affairs and manage the army.
, Jingping place, to develop our grand plans! How can we be suspicious of each other and kill each other?"
"Quan'er!"
Sun Quan cupped his hands and replied, "The child is here."
"Fortunately, the young man in the Zong family was in trouble. Although he was in trouble within the wall, he was protected by his dead husband in heaven, so he did not make any big mistake. Gong Jin came to the rescue on his own. His contribution to protecting the emperor can be expressed in songs, and he should be highly rewarded!"
It is also rare for a person to be united and stick to his loyalty, so it should also be considered meritorious!"
"Kid, remember this," Sun Quan replied.
"Good." Old Mrs. Wu nodded, "I am old and my energy is very low. I will entrust you with the beginning and end of this matter. I hope you will assist me with all your heart. The Sun family... will definitely live up to you and will not hesitate to reward you."
!』
Zhou Yu and others bowed together.
Mrs. Wu waved her hand, boarded the car, and then slowly left under the watch of everyone. Until she reached the point where no one could be seen in the distance, Mrs. Wu suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood, and then she could no longer maintain her figure.
