Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 628 Brothers
Today is only the first day of the final round of the primary ceremony, but many unexpected things have already happened.

But looking at the pair of brothers standing quietly facing each other with their swords drawn on the battle stage, it still makes people feel sad.

"Today's signing is too coincidental..."

"Has the national civil war turned into a family civil war..."

"The Chen family's son and the concubine seem to be the same age, right? The Chen family's head is also... tsk tsk."

"I heard that Mrs. Chen was conceived before her husband went to the battlefield. As a result, it happened that the chief commander of the war on the border went to the north. Mrs. Chen sent the dowry girl to serve in the army."

"I've heard of this too! Hey! Later, this Mrs. Chen (after giving birth to a son-in-law and died of dystocia, was waiting for her husband to come back before she died, but she didn't wait until she died. Da Sima returned triumphantly after the son-in-law was full moon. .”

"This big Sima bumped into his son's full moon banquet before he came back to attend his wife's funeral. Guess what happened? When he entered the house, he was holding a child in his arms!"

"It is said that it was born on the way home, just three days ago."

"Okay, now the first son's full moon and the second son's Xisan will be handled together!"

Looking at the pair of brothers who were almost the same height on the stage, everyone's discussion went a bit off track.

After all, these incidents in the Chen family caused a lot of trouble in the city.

When Ying Baoyue investigated the Southern Chu family before, although he found out a lot of past events of the family.But I have to say that these anecdotes from the backyard are always market rumors with more details and more details.

Even more... thrilling and heartbreaking.

For example, she had heard that Chen Zichu had a difficult delivery.

Back then, Da Sima Chen lured the enemy deep into the battlefield and disappeared for a long time, even the people in the army thought he was dead.

This matter, she did not hear from other people.

Chen Zichu and Chen Zihan were born 17 years ago, when she was nine years old, Nan Chu had already been conquered by Qin.

The battle they were born in took place on the border between Hou Liao and Xirong, and was led by her master.

At that time, the battle situation was urgent and the northern garrison was seriously exhausted. Her master had no choice but to transfer troops from the south to the north. At that time, Chen Zichu's father, Chen Yan, was leading the army. He was only a chariot general at that time.

Back then, she followed her master and watched the young and vigorous general coming towards him in high spirits.The master initially disliked his youth, but later the courtiers who accompanied Nan Chu said that the wife who was about to be pregnant had led the army wholeheartedly at home.

Things are so wonderful.

Looking at the pair of brothers on the high platform, Ying Baoyue's eyes darkened slightly.

How could she, who was still young at that time, think that after so many years, she would actually have such an intersection with the unborn child who only existed in words at that time.

And she didn't even know that after that war, there were so many other stories.

Even if they are both in the army, it is impossible to understand so clearly that the little maid next to the general is also pregnant.

When Chen Yan volunteered to lure the enemy, he begged the Commander-in-Chief to take care of the servants left in his tent and Nanchu's family if he didn't come back.

Her master promised him one by one.

Afterwards, Chen Yan's army went deep alone and disappeared deep in the Xirong army. There was no news for a full month.

Everyone thought he was dead. Although it was a pity, it was a common occurrence on the battlefield.But her master did not give up and asked her to go out and search.Later, near the end of the battle, she found Chen Yan dying in a cave.

Chen Yan survived the catastrophe, because he successfully lured the enemy to be promoted to three ranks in a row, and his family background and military exploits finally laid a solid foundation for him to become the Great Sima of Southern Chu in the future.

She witnessed the rise of a young general by her master's side, but she didn't know that there was a woman's blood and tears behind this young general.

It is said that when Chen Zichu's mother was pregnant with him, because she was worried about her husband on the battlefield, she was too worried about the abnormal fetal position. After hearing the sad news that Chen Yan disappeared on the battlefield, her fetus moved even more, and she suddenly gave birth prematurely.

The situation eventually turned into the eternal question of whether to keep the big or the small.Chen Zichu's mother came from a well-known family. At that time, her family was by her side. It stands to reason that no one would force her to keep the child. It is said that the decision to keep the child was made by Mrs. Chen herself.

In the end, the woman passed away before she had time to take a look at the child she gave birth to.

General Chen, who hurried back, was greeted by his wife's funeral and the full moon of his eldest son when he returned home.

"Thanks to the fact that Mrs. Chen gave birth to an eldest son earlier, otherwise the situation of the remaining son would be even worse!"

The people in the audience are still discussing.

"By the way, if Mrs. Chen survived back then, seeing her husband enter the door with a concubine son in his arms, I don't know if she would die of anger again..."

Ying Baoyue watched Chen Zichu and Chen Zihan on the battle stage.

The two of them are concubine brothers, such brothers are not uncommon in aristocratic families, and they will always be natural enemies.

However, because of the past between Chen Zichu's mother and his father, the relationship between the brothers is more sinister than that between other legitimate sons and concubines.

For some reason, Ying Baoyue thought of Ji Jiashu and Ji Qingyuan.But Ji Qingyuan is not a bastard son, but an illegitimate son, and the relationship between the two is even more special.

From Chen Zichu's point of view, after hearing about his parents when he grew up, one can imagine how complicated feelings he has for his father.

Even hate is entirely possible.

"I heard that Second Young Master Chen's mother took care of him when Da Sima was injured, and finally moved Da Sima to let him give birth to that bastard..."

"But for so many years, I haven't heard of that person being righted... Da Sima didn't marry again..."

From the perspective of the deceased Mrs. Chen, Chen Yan's behavior back then can be said to be a scumbag.

No matter how much Chen Zichu hated his father, it was not surprising.

There was no mother at birth, and there was an additional concubine mother and a concubine brother of similar age. One can imagine how dangerous the situation of this newborn son is.

In many aristocratic families, such sons and daughters disappeared quietly and died in this way.

But Chen Zichu grew up healthy and healthy until he was 17 years old, and his personality was still very flamboyant. He became a well-known romantic man in Danyang City.

After returning to this world, Ying Baoyue found out that the first wife of Grand Sima of Nanchu had passed away for 17 years, but there was no new mistress in the mansion of Grand Sima of Nanchu.

Back then when Chen Yan returned triumphantly, he was a young man with a noble family background and made great military exploits, and his wife died again. It was a very hot time.

But the young general rejected all marriage proposals, and almost turned against his old father, saying that he would never marry his regular wife.

Some people thought that he was feeling sorry for his wife who passed away in a moment of grief, and that it would be better to wait two years.

Some people think that this young general is trying to help the mother of the concubine.

However, no one expected that Chen Yan would neither remarry nor support a concubine.

He just ordered people to carry the eldest son to his room and raise him with his own hands.

As for the concubine who he carried back to the mansion with his own hands, he never asked again.

17 years like a day.

Chen Yan inherited the position of Da Sima, but still refused to remarry.

The young and frivolous young general has become a stubborn and cold old general, making some people who are about to move immobile.

The grievances are the grievances of the previous generation, but those who are affected are ultimately the next generation.

A child loses its mother and finds its father.

And the other child has a mother, but not a father.

On the battle stage, the bell rang for the start of the battle.

Chen Zihan drew out the epee on his back, and looked at Chen Zichu who had also drawn his sword out of its sheath.

Chen Zichu's sword was very light and agile, and the scabbard and hilt were carved with unique patterns. Chen Zihan knew that it was specially made by their father Chen Yan from a famous artist.

And the epee in his hand was said to be an epee from the army, but his father brought back a bunch of swords from the army for Chen Zichu to pick out on a whim. Chen Zichu was not interested, so he picked one from the pile of waste swords left by Chen Zichu. .

Since he was a child, he could only use his elder brother to pick up leftovers.

"Brother, do you know?" Chen Zihan quietly pointed the sword in his hand at Chen Zichu, and said softly.

"I used to hate you."
