"Yu Niang! you wait for me!"

Just as the Gu clan walked into Xue Yuniang's mourning hall, they suddenly heard the man's grief crying.

Everyone was stunned and looked over, but they didn't see Gu Qian's figure, they only heard his wailing, and when Gu Qian was crying, an abrupt figure stood on top of the mourning hall, looking at the crowd at a loss.

Seeing everyone walking in, Xue Runang panicked, she wanted to entangle Gu Qian, as long as she was close to him, the old lady could take the opportunity to make trouble, so it would be difficult for him to marry herself. But he didn't expect to block Gu Qian's way out, but he didn't force this Tanhualang to comply, just when Xue Runang was pressing step by step, Gu Qian jumped over the offering table, and suddenly fell on Xue Yuniang's coffin, holding the coffin and crying.

"Yu Niang, why are you so ruthless! How can you live with me and Brother Hu'er if you leave me!" Gu Qian continued to cry as if he hadn't seen the strange scene in the mourning hall.

Xue Runniang saw that things were not good, so she hid her face and ran out, and Xue Yang was about to sneak away when she saw this, but Gu An, who had just woken up, grabbed the corner of her skirt, "Mrs. in-law, why are you here?"

Gu An's voice pulled everyone's attention over, Xue Yang pulled the corner of his skirt fiercely, and seeing that Gu An refused to let go, he could only cry: "My hard-working daughter!

"Jade Niang!"

"Sister!"

"Daughter!"

Xue Yang and Xue Runang couldn't run, so they could only hide their faces and cry bitterly, Gu Qian lay on Xue Yuniang's coffin, and shouted out at the right time, "Yuniang, I swear in front of your coffin that I will raise Brother Hu to adulthood, and I will never remarry within five years!"

Listening to his earnest oath, everyone was surprised, and then suddenly realized, no wonder Tanhualang climbed the coffin regardless of his body, no wonder the little lady just now independent mourning hall, it turned out that she was forced to marry!

It was almost too much, Gu Qian was helped down from the coffin, and I saw that Tanhualang, who had always been beautiful, was now haggard, his eyes were full of red threads, and he burst into tears at the mention of his deceased wife. How could such a person hook up with some sister-in-law on the occasion of a new funeral? Didn't you see that Tanhualang was forced to climb the coffin?

Gu Qian's deep affection for his deceased wife made everyone sigh, and also made them disgusted with the Xue family mother and daughter who went to the mourning hall to force their relatives, especially Xue Runiang cried out, but left a faint incense wind, and those who did good things had already shouted, "On this day of great mourning, how can there still be people incense?"

When Xue Runiang heard this, she shrank behind Xue Yang, and Xue Yang cried again in order to cover her.

was in chaos, and I saw Mrs. Gu pulling Brother Hu out of the backyard slowly, Brother Hu didn't need to keep a vigil when he was young, but today was the day of Xue Yuniang's funeral, and Brother Hu'er, as Xue Yuniang's son-in-law, must be present.

Holding Brother Tiger and offering incense to Xue Yuniang, Gu Qian pulled his son and knelt in front of Mrs. Gu: "Mother is above, my son has something to say." ”

Old Madam Gu was stunned, and when she saw Gu Qian's resolute face, a bad premonition rose in her heart, but with so many people watching, she couldn't stop it, so she could only help her and said, "Kuan'er has something to say." ”

"Yu Niang died early, Brother Hu is young, and Brother Hu is about to go thousands of miles away to take office, so Brother Hu will entrust it to you. ”

"It's the way it should be. ”

"Brother Hu has no mother, and he is reluctant to let him be wronged, so he has made a vow that he will never remarry within five years, and ask his mother to forgive him. ”

Don't marry a wife for five years! Old Madam Gu was stunned, and there was an uproar in the mourning hall, when Gu Qian said cruel words just now, everyone thought that he was just talking angry, after all, it is common for men to marry wives and concubines in these years, and it is already their duty to keep the system for their wives for one year, and some people who have kept the system for three years can be praised as love saints. It's just that this Gu Tanhua is different from ordinary people, and she has to keep it for five years as soon as she opens her mouth! This is not just a love saint, it is simply a love saint!

"Kuan'er, why is this a problem...... Old Madam Gu is naturally unwilling, even if she is worried that her grandson will be bullied, then it is good to keep her by her side, why bother not to marry a wife?

"Yes, the Xue family is very content to be able to keep it for a year or two. The clansmen helped.

"Mother, my son has made up my mind, please fulfill my mother. Gu Qian knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Old Madam Gu.

Gu Qian's expression was very resolute, and Mrs. Gu, who had always loved her son, reluctantly responded after a long silence. Gu Qian was helped up, touched Brother Hu'er's head, and asked the clansmen to start the ceremony before Xue Yuniang's burial.

The conversation between Gu's mother and son reached the ears of Xue Yang's mother and daughter, Xue Runiang's face turned white, pushed away the crowd and cried all the way back to the backyard, Xue Yang scolded Gu Qian in his heart for not being a thing, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only chase after his daughter in disguise, and he didn't show up again until Xue Yuniang came out of the funeral.

After Gu Qian made such a fuss, no one dared to say kiss to him anymore, at least in the past three or two years, he had been pure. After burying Xue Yuniang, Gu Qian settled down the family affairs, said goodbye to the reluctant old lady and young son, and went to Fujian with full of concern.

Among the people who accompanied him this time, in addition to Gu An, Gu Qian also accepted two people who were relatively close, after all, Fujian is thousands of miles away from Taihu Lake, and after Gu Qian took office, his subordinates could not be used. These two clansmen, one is his clan brother, named Gu Tai, and the other is his clan brother, named Gu Yuan, both of whom have not studied and wanted to follow Gu Qian into the rivers and lakes and mix up the Yamen rice.

Among them, Gu Tai had been a clerk in the yamen of Taihu County for a few days, and he was familiar with the affairs of the yamen, while Gu Yuan was small and clever, very eye-catching, and got along with these two people for a few days, Gu Qian was basically satisfied with the character of the two, so the group went on the road.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight all the way, and there were officials to guide him, so Gu Qian's itinerary was relatively fast, at least they entered the territory of Fujian at the scheduled time.

Qingjiang County, where Gu Qian is about to take office, belongs to Xinghua Prefecture and is in the southeast of Fujian Province, so even if he enters the boundary of Fujian, there is still a long way to go. After a long journey, the group was physically and mentally exhausted, and after entering the post station, Gu Yuan trotted all the way to ask for hot water, while Gu Tai and Gu An persuaded him: "Master, we have arrived in Yanping according to the scheduled itinerary, do you want to rest for two days before continuing to hurry?"

Gu Qian was also too tired, and after riding for a few days, the horse's legs were still trembling, and after listening to Gu Tai's advice, he responded after a little thought, anyway, they have all arrived in Fujian, will Qingjiang be far away? A few people stayed at the post station, freshened up, and had a full dinner, and then rested early.

Early the next morning, Gu Qian woke up and ran around the yard a few times, until his body was hot and he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then returned to the post station refreshed. Jing Chao's medical technology can't be compared with modern times, so Gu Qian also pays special attention to health preservation, he doesn't want to hang up because of some inexplicable minor illness.

"Master, are you up?" Gu An yawned and walked out of the room.

"What about Zihe and Xiao Jiu?" Gu Qian sat on the stone bench outside and asked with a smile.

Xiao Jiu was still sleeping, and Tai Ye went to the door, as if he was going to inquire about some news. Gu An washed his face with the well water in the yard and said to Gu Qian, "Is my lord hungry?" ”

With Gu Qian's official credentials in hand, their food and accommodation in the post station are free, but if you want to eat better, you still have to make a little money. Fortunately, Gu Qian didn't care about this, as long as he could eat enough.

"Don't be busy first, I saw a breakfast stall outside, and when Xiao Jiu gets up, let's go out to eat." "After eating flatbread noodle soup all the way, it's time for a change of taste.

As he was talking, Gu Yuan, that is, Xiao Jiu, jumped out of the room: "Shall we go out to eat?"

"You monkey, you're so happy to hear that you eat, go wash your face, and when Zihe comes back, let's go out!"

"Okay, I'll call the second brother!" Gu Xiaojiu ran out in a hurry.

"Do you know where he went?" Gu Qian raised his voice.

Gu Xiaojiu was stunned, almost stumbled by the threshold, and Gu An and Gu Qian laughed behind him.

"What are you laughing at, so happy?" Gu Tai walked back from outside with a steady step.

Gu Yuan had no face to say that he almost fell into a dog, eat, or, so he could only scratch his head and smile awkwardly: "Second brother, you came back just in time, Brother Shen Zhi wants to take us out for breakfast." ”

"It's not big or small, it's called master!" Gu Tai said to Gu Yuan sternly.

"My son and brother are all my own family, so there is no need for this. Gu Qian said in a round game, his clan brother is good at everything, but he is too disciplined, they are all brothers in the clan, Gu Qian doesn't want to be special, but his clan brother is a master, and he will never be confused.

"Master, this is the rule, and when you go to the yamen in the future, you have to talk about the rules. Gu Tai said with a glance.

The corners of Gu Qian's mouth twitched, and seeing that Gu An and Gu Yuan had no opinion, they had to go with him.

After eating a meal of wontons with three fresh fillings, Gu Qian was resurrected with blood on the spot.

Since coming to ancient times, he found that his requirements for life are getting lower and lower, no matter what career is prosperous, as long as he can eat and dress warmly, he feels quite happy.

"Let's take a day off here today. Gu Qian looked at the good weather, squinted his eyes, and decided to steal half a day of leisure and sleep or something.

Gu An and Gu Xiaojiu naturally nodded yes, and even the rigid Gu Tai responded with a smile.

The group was chatting and laughing and had just returned to the post station, when they saw that the post was already waiting with two dukes. Seeing Gu Qian coming back, Yi Cheng hurriedly greeted him: "Master Gu is back? ”

Gu Qian didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked the two messengers to talk, and after the two people confirmed Gu Qian's identity, they didn't say much, and directly handed him an official document.

Gu Qian opened it and saw that it was the document that promoted him to the county magistrate of Qingjiang County, and he had to arrive within three days. Gu Qian was dumbfounded, didn't he just demote him to the rank of Bapin County? Why was he promoted halfway before he took office?

Seeing that his face was different, Gu Tai cast an inquiring look.

Gu Qian handed him the paperwork, and asked the two messengers to sit down, intending to talk. Obviously offended the first assistant of the dynasty and was demoted to an official, why did he suddenly rise again, what went wrong with this? He didn't hear any rumors of Yan Shoufu losing power.

"Two grandfathers, there are at least seven or eight days away from Qingjiang here, isn't it too difficult to arrive within three days?" Gu Tai also felt surprised after reading the paperwork, so he could only ask with a smile.

"Shangguan has an order, the little ones are just acting on orders, and they also look forward to Master Gu Haihan, if Master Gu is ready, let's go on the road, right?"

So anxious! Gu Qian knew that something was wrong, and gave Xiao Jiu a look.

Xiao Jiu understood, and Gu Tai dragged the two messengers out one by one, and not long after, Gu Tai came back, and the first thing he said when he entered the door: "Master, something is wrong." ”

"What's going on?" Gu Qian's heart tightened.

"There was an accident in Qingjiang County, and the former county magistrate was unfair in handling things, and there was a riot and chaos in Qingjiang County, and the mob besieged the county government and almost burned the county magistrate alive. ”

Gu Qian was dumbfounded: "And then?"

"The former county magistrate ran away, and the political envoy brought you up. ”

Gu Qian understood, he was the unlucky one who was thrown to block the gun's eye, I'll go!
