"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

With a sharp voice, panicked footsteps instantly sounded in a private house in Mao'er Hutong in the capital.

"Master, lord, the angel has come to deliver the decree!" the servant who guarded the door rushed into the study in the west wing of the main courtyard with a panicked expression, and said breathlessly.

Gu Qian sat up from the small bed attached to the study in a daze, looking at the servant in front of him who looked flustered, his mind was full of paste, what was going on? Didn't he faint from overwork? How could he wake up in such an antique room?

"Gu An?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Master?" the servant swallowed nervously and said cautiously, "The angel is here." ”

Gu Qian nodded, the memory of the master poured in with his sobriety, and the surging memories almost crushed Gu Qian, his eyes turned black, and he grabbed the edge of the bed and shook for a while before gradually settling down.

Gu Qian, the word Shenzhi, Jiahe two years of Tanhualang, awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit, is the seventh product, half a month ago because of offending the first assistant of the dynasty was ordered to suspend and return home, today's holy decree, it is estimated that the handling of him down.

didn't have time to digest more information, Gu Qian put on his official uniform with the help of Gu An, and walked quickly to the front yard to receive the order.

Set up the incense case, knelt on the ground, and the eunuch with a white face and a feminine face raised his voice and said: "Gu Qian, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, receives the order!"

The sinner Gu Qian listened to the hadith. ”

"Holy Message: The Hanlin Academy edited Gu Qian's slack duties, did not obey the edict, dismissed the seven grades of editing, and demoted the county of Qingjiang County, Fujian, and ordered to start immediately, and here!"

"Minister-Commander. Gu Qian lowered his head and held back these words from his throat.

"Master Gu, it's time to take the order. The eunuch who announced the decree saw that Gu Qian couldn't get up on his knees, and thought that he had suffered a heavy blow and had not come back to his senses.

Gu Qian raised his head, took the holy decree in the hands of the eunuch with both hands, and saw that the eunuch looked at him, he didn't understand, and turned his head to look at Gu An.

Gu An knew that the eunuch wanted benefits, but the family was now poor, where to get money for the eunuch?

Seeing Gu An's embarrassed appearance, Gu Qian suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked Gu An to give the purse to the eunuch who passed the decree.

"Master......" Gu An was reluctant, this was the last bit of money in their family.

"Gu An!" Gu Qian glared at him.

Gu An had no choice, so he gave away the purse in his hand very painfully and reluctantly. As soon as his hand stretched out, the eunuch took the little purse into his hand. He held it in his hand and squeezed it, feeling the light weight, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face.

"This father-in-law, please go to the study and have a cup of tea?" Gu Qian stood up and invited the eunuch into the house with a smile.

As soon as the eunuch saw the shabby appearance of the master and servant, he became angry, and said that Gu Qian had offended the head of the court, and the road to his career had come to an end, so he didn't give him a good face at the moment, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "Poor and sour!"

After speaking, he took his entourage and left.

Seeing the eunuch leave, Gu Qian let out a long breath, which can be regarded as leaving.

"I'm sorry! a eunuch dares to be the uncle!" Gu An saw that the person was walking away, and took a sip fiercely. Gu Qian looked at his jumping feet and shook his head.

Holding the holy decree back to the house, Gu Qian rarely touched the texture of the holy decree, and then unfolded it to see the patterns and handwriting on it, he had never seen the holy decree, if he hadn't offended Shoufu this time, with his small seven-rank official, where could he enjoy such treatment?

"Master," Gu An saw that his master had the will to be demoted, but the corners of his mouth smiled, and he couldn't help but tremble: "Don't think about it!"

Gu Qian had enough of observing the holy decree, and raised his head strangely: "What can't I think of?"

"That Qingjiang County is thousands of miles away from the capital, let alone a county ......" Before Gu An finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps from the courtyard, Gu Qian raised his eyes and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl rushing into the study.

"Old, old man......"

"Panicked, what kind of system!" Gu An reprimanded loudly.

"Master," the little girl threw herself on her knees, choked up and said, "Madame is dying!"

Hearing this bad news, Gu Qian's heart ached, and he pointed at the little girl and couldn't speak.

"Hasn't Madame been sick all the time?, why did you suddenly ......" Gu An was so anxious that he saw Gu Qian still froze there with a painful face, and hurriedly urged: "Master, go and take a look!"

Gu Qian woke up in shock, pulled out his legs and ran out.

Gu's house is a small courtyard with two entrances, Gu Qian's study is in the front yard, and Mrs. Gu's residence is in the backyard. Gu Qian stumbled to the east wing of the backyard, and there was a whimpering cry in the wing, and he stopped in a daze, not knowing how to face the nominal wife in the room.

That's Gu Qian's wife, but it's not his wife! Although he is also called Gu Qian, but it is from a thousand years later, he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing!

"Master!" Hearing Gu Qian's footsteps, a twenty-eight-year-old woman walked out of it, the woman was dressed in maid clothes, but her head shape was a woman's appearance, Gu Qian's scalp exploded, who is this?

quickly searched in the owner's memory, and learned that this was Mrs. Gu's dowry maid and his roommate ginkgo. Tongfang? This distant word once again refreshed Gu Qian's cognition, although he wore it to ancient times, he really didn't want to enjoy the teapot life surrounded by teacups.

"Master, go and see Madame!" Ginkgo choked with tears in her eyes.

Gu Qian took a deep breath and walked into Mrs. Gu's bedroom with his feet raised.

The woman on the bed was described as withered, her face was as white as paper, Gu Qian walked over and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, the moment she saw this woman, all her worries had left him, and a trace of sadness slowly invaded his heart, "Yu Niang, I'm here." ”

"Official. Xue Yuniang looked at him tenderly and smiled.

"Yu Niang, let you suffer. Looking at this woman who obviously had a rejuvenating atmosphere, Gu Qian's heart ached, and with the meeting between the two, the scenes of husband and wife getting along slowly poured into his mind, the jade lady on the wedding night, the jade girl who sewed clothes and shoes for him, the jade girl who lived a hard life but always treated each other gently, and the jade girl who injured her body because of childbirth......

"What about Brother Hu?" Gu Qian suddenly realized that he also had a son.

"I was hugged by Mother Xu. A trace of grief flashed in Xue Yuniang's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that her body couldn't hold on, where would she be willing to leave her husband and children. "Official, the concubine is about to die, I have a few words I want to say to the official. ”

"Yu Niang, you will be fine. Gu Qianyan said insincerely.

Xue Yuniang shook her head and said, "Official, the concubine's body The concubine knows it, I'm afraid the concubine can't accompany you to Qingjiang." ”

"Jade Niang!"

"After I leave, please send Brother Hu to the old lady of Taihu Lake to raise, and the remaining dowry of the concubine will also be reserved for Brother Hu to study. Xue Yuniang saw Gu Qian's eyes red, and said softly: "Ginkgo and my sister, if the officials continue to ...... in the future" Seeing Gu Qian covering her mouth, a sadness slowly surged in her eyes, "Please also ask the officials to treat Brother Hu and Ginkgo well." ”

"Yu Niang, don't worry, Brother Hu'er, I will personally raise him, and I won't continue until he grows up. "Gu Qian didn't say that I would guard you for the rest of my life, when he first came to ancient times, he didn't have any idea of continuing to marry, now that he occupies the body of the original owner, and the wife of the original owner is about to pass away, if he doesn't raise the only son left by the husband and wife, is he still a person?

"Ginkgo, I'll make a proper arrangement. "Let's find a suitable person for her to marry in the future, Gu Qian, who grew up under monogamous education, has no way to face his concubine.

After explaining the aftermath, Xue Yuniang's strong breath finally dispersed, and in Gu Qian's gentle embrace, Xue Yuniang closed her eyes unwillingly.

His wife was gone, and Gu Qian was a little dazed.

But he didn't stand still for long, and the crying child stumbled in.

"Mother, mother......" The two-year-old tiger brother is very dexterous in his legs and feet, and he is about to enter the bedroom by holding on to the door frame. "Little Ancestor, slow down!" Mother Xu chased after her with red eyes.

"Mother, mother!" Brother Tiger ran to the bed, looked at Xue Yuniang, who had already choked her breath, took her hand, and said loudly: "Mother, get up and play with me!"

Xu's mother couldn't hold it anymore, so she turned her back and cried.

Outside the door, the little maid and Ginkgo were also crying, Gu Qian gently put Xue Yuniang down and hugged Brother Hu'er. "Brother Tiger, don't make noise, your mother is just asleep. ”

"Then when will she wake up?" Brother Hu was a little ignorant, and in the blink of an eye, a string of tears fell.

"When you grow up and are sensible, she will wake up. Gu Qian didn't have the old concept of hugging his grandson and not holding his son, he hugged Brother Hu'er, wiped his tears from the child, let him look at Xue Yuniang's face again, and said softly: "Now your mother is going to a far away place to rest, and when Brother Tiger grows up to be as tall as her father, she will come back." ”

Coaxed Brother Hu'er, Gu Qian personally carried him to the front yard and called Gu An to prepare for the funeral.

Because Xue Yuniang already knew that her body was not good, she made her own wrapping clothes, and Ginkgo personally fetched water to freshen her, and took advantage of the fact that her body was not cold and worked with Xu's mother to change her clothes. Ginkgo kept tears in her eyes when she did this, and the little maid who wrung her handkerchief for her was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at the bed more.

After dressing up Xue Yuniang, Ginkgo finally couldn't hold back the grief in her heart and cried loudly.

Xu's mother also knelt on the ground and cried, and the little maid holding the water stumbled out with the basin.

"Gu An, Madame is gone, go to the street and buy a bite of good longevity materials. Gu Qian took advantage of Brother Hu'er's inattention and quietly commanded.

When Gu An heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he slowly knelt down.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qian wondered.

"Master, our family has no money!"
