How to make a famous minister

Chapter 22

As soon as Fan Yongnian entered Fan's residence, he went straight to Ma's bed. The two young couples have endured hardships and supported each other so far. They haven't seen each other for several years, but the goodbye may be the last time.

Fan Yongnian burst into tears, held his wife's hand tightly with both hands, and couldn't help saying: "Why are you so sick? You were fine when you communicated a few months ago. How do they take care of you?" Yours, unworthy descendants, unworthy descendants!"

On the contrary, Mrs. Ma, although lying on the bed sick and thin, with a haggard face, was not as dignified as usual at this time, and said with a smile: "How old are you, our days are almost over, why are you crying What about them? The children are all good children, Jing Wen and Zhang are filial, and Brother Chao and Brother Lang wake up in the morning every day, but when I get old, my body will naturally deteriorate."

Seeing that Mrs. Ma was still in the mood to comfort him, Fan Yongnian became even more sad, but somehow he stopped crying. "In the past few years, I have been released as an official. At first I thought that the two of us still had time, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

Everyone knew in their hearts that the old lady's time was numbered, and the doctor's diagnosis was getting worse day by day.Although he has gotten better in the past two days, but he is holding on to his sick body and waiting for Fan Yongnian to come back to meet him. Even when he is so energetic now, it can be said that he has recovered.

While talking, Fan Jingwen came back. When he saw Fan Yongnian, he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and cried bitterly: "The son failed to take good care of his mother. He is unfilial. Please punish him."

Fan Yongnian sighed: "Life is a matter of life and death. Your mother praised you for your filial piety just now, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. Get up."

Fan Xuanchao hurriedly helped Fan Jingwen up, Ma smiled and waved to Fan Jingwen, Fan Jingwen walked to the front of the collapse, both hands tightly grabbed Ma's skinny fingers, Ma said: "Jingwen has never let me down since I was a child. The officials have been conscientious and conscientious over the years, and they are impeccable as officials and people, so I am very relieved."

Fan Jingwen cried: "My mother has taught me so earnestly for many years, and my son never dares to forget it."

Mrs. Ma added: "You and Mrs. Zhang have a deep relationship, and Yan Er also taught Brother Chao and Lang Geer well. This is a family of virtuous women. The family is harmonious and everything is prosperous. I am not worried about you two."

Zhang burst into tears and responded one by one.

Ma Shi recruited Fan Xuanchao again, Fan Xuanchao's eyes were red, he held Ma Shi's hand, lowered his head and did not speak.

Ma said with a smile: "Brother Chao, don't be sad. Although I didn't have a serious disaster or illness, I have always been weak. I expected that such a day would come. Although I'm gone—"

"Grandmother!" Fan Xuanchao interrupted hastily, not wanting Mrs. Ma to talk about the desperate situation.

Ma Shi said: "I am already like this, what else can I not say, and what can I say to be afraid? You don't have to stop me, and it's not like if you don't say it, it won't happen." Ma Shi took a breath and stared at himself carefully This eldest grandson.

As the saying goes, the youngest son and eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.indeed so.

Since Fan Xuanchao was born, Ma Shi loved him very much, and now he is the one who worries the most.

"Brother Chao, I'm not worried. You are like your mother, and you are better than your father when you are as educated. Take one step at a time, be solid, and always gain a firm foothold.

But, you have to remember that doing a good job in learning is not for the goods and the emperor's family, but for the sake of the people of the world and the well-being of the people of Ming Dynasty.You must not abandon the common people because of a momentary mood, you will definitely feel guilty in the future. "

Fan Xuanchao raised his head in shock, and looked into Zhang's eyes, which were cloudy due to illness, but now brightened by worrying and teaching his grandson.Fan Xuanchao didn't know whether Mrs. Ma understood his mentality that he didn't care whoever became the emperor, or just saw his disappointment in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom.Fan Xuanchao opened his mouth to ask, but Ma Shi waved his hand, telling him to step aside and Fan Xuanlang to step forward.

Fan Xuanchao was both surprised and suspicious. She didn't know how Ma could see that his heart was not in the current officialdom.Thinking carefully about Ma Shi's advice, she knew that she hoped that she would bow to the Ming Dynasty and die.Fan Xuanchao couldn't help sighing, but this Ming Dynasty is already dying, how can it be saved?

Fan Xuanlang had already cried like a tearful man, and threw himself into Ma Shi's arms and called "Grandma, Grandma".

Madam Ma touched his face lovingly, "Brother Lang, you must be obedient, listen to your grandfather, listen to your parents, listen to Mr. Chen, listen to your brother."

If he was a child, Fan Xuanlang would definitely ask "Why do I have to listen to so many people", but now he has grown up and is sensible, and said with tears: "Well, I must be obedient and study hard." Every time I saw him, I would tell him to read a lot.

"Okay, so that in the future you will grow into a man of indomitable spirit."

After talking about it like an funeral, everyone in the room had red eyes, Zhang's heart was soft, Juanzhi served Ma the longest, and both of them were crying.

"Okay, there's no need to be so sad, you all step back..." Mrs. Ma had talked a lot, and it was inevitable that she felt exhausted, so everyone had to step back.

At night, it is impossible for the patient to watch the night without someone, so these days, several maids have been arranged in turn in Ma's room to watch the night.But tonight Fan Yongnian insisted on keeping vigil for Mrs. Ma himself, and no one would listen to what others said.

In the end, it was Fan Jingwen who knew the old father's guilt, and told Mrs. Zhang to let him go.Mrs. Zhang didn't know what her father-in-law was thinking. She didn't sigh until Fan Jingwen spoke, and arranged more people at night.

Fan Yongnian didn't care about those rules, he folded his clothes and lay next to Mrs. Ma, sighing: "We haven't been lying together for many years."

Ma Shi smiled, "Finally, I can rest."

"You can rest, but I can't."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you below and spread the quilt for you."

Fan Yongnian suddenly laughed, "Is there anyone like you who cursed someone to die early?"

In the morning of the next day, there was a sudden cry of panic in the Ma's courtyard.The masters of the whole house didn't sleep well last night, and they arrived almost immediately. Fan Xuanchao hurried, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he met Ma Shi's smiling eyes, and he couldn't help calling out: "Grandmother—"

"Hey." Mashi replied, and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Ma Shi smiling and closing his eyes, Fan Jingwen was shocked in his heart. He stretched out his fingers and tried it, but the breath had dissipated. He seemed to have lost a step in his heart, and fell straight down, "Mother, mother!"

When everyone in the room heard this cry with tears, their heads turned and they wept bitterly.The servants in the yard were anxiously waiting for the news, when they heard the loud crying in the room, they all knelt down and wept endlessly.

All of a sudden, Fan Mansion was covered with white banners.
