Chapter 10: Who to take the Gu
Not to mention that Gu Jinjiao has a lot of thoughts here, this other place in Kyoto is already about to turn the world upside down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Liang family has been the first emperor merchant in Kyoto for more than 100 years, and its influence is far beyond the power of any minister or duke in the current dynasty.
To outsiders, this may seem infinitely glorious, but in fact. The Liang family, which has been passed down for three generations, has a disaster that its own family can't avoid.
The reason why the Liang family can rise, in addition to the unique minds of each family, is that they use their bodies to raise Gu and use it to prosper the Liang family. Every family member does this, so their lifespan is also very short, at most they only live to be thirty years old, and even worse, they died violently in their twenties due to the Gu worm riot.
This time, however, it was a little different from usual. Liang Qilin, the last patriarch of the Liang family, met a girl named Zhuge Rou when he went to transport goods outside the Saiwai, and the two had a boy, Liang Qilin originally planned to bring Zhuge Rou and his son back to the Liang family, but unfortunately encountered bandits during the last delivery of goods, and was rescued back to the Liang family but forgot all about the things outside the Saiwai.
didn't see Liang Qilin for a long time, Zhuge Rou thought that she was abandoned, and the outside world was rumored because of her gradually growing belly, and finally hung Liang when her son was two years old. Later, he met a kind-hearted monk and brought Zhuge Rou's son, Zhuge Xuanyu, back to the temple, until Zhuge Xuanyu was almost five years old, he was found and brought back to the Liang family.
Zhuge Xuanyu has been refusing to change his surname back to Liang because of his mother's affairs, and he has refused to live in the Liang family, and has been temporarily living in a mansion on the outskirts of the city. Of course, the Liang family has always declared him Liang Xuanyu to the outside world, and after the people, it is a convenience for Zhuge to follow.
After all, in his consciousness, the Liang family has always owed him a life. A human life named Zhuge Rou.
"Has the young master arrived?"
It was the old lady who was the current head of the Liang Mansion, the Bai family.
"Shouldn't the young master have arrived at the house yesterday, it's been a night, what the hell is going on!!"
As a woman who lost her son and husband in her early years, Bai has already developed a cold heart. Except, of course, on his grandson, Zhuge Xuanyu.
Although she didn't want Zhuge Xuanyu to follow the old path of his father, grandfather, and other fathers, for the luck of the Liang family, for the sake of the entire family, she had to do this.
This time, it is not only about asking Zhuge Xuanyu to go home to accept Gu worms, but more importantly, the top priority is to find the next master mother for the Liang family. And this person must be able to support the entire Liang family after Zhuge Xuanyu and her old age and death!
"Back to the old lady's words, there was already a word in front of me, saying that the young master had now returned to the courtyard. Yesterday, it was because it was the third watch in Beijing, and the young master said that it was not good to disturb our Liang Mansion again! ”
"Confused!"
Bai Shi picked up his crutches and pointed to the nose of the little man in front of him, "What is the Liang family, the Liang family, the Liang family, the young master is guilty, are you also guilty?" Palm! ”
"Yes, yes, the slave knows his mistake, and the old lady is angry." Listening to the little guy in front of him slapping himself in fear, Bai Shi was also upset. How did she know what was going on in the Liang family back then..... if it was back then... That's it.
Thinking of when he was young, Bai sighed softly. "When the young master is resting, ask him to see me in my room and tell him that aside from the identity of the head of the Liang family, I am also his grandmother, my grandmother, he can't see it."
"Yes."
Looking at the servants and maids in the hall standing quietly aside, standing with low eyebrows, Bai couldn't help but feel a sad feeling in his heart. Every sandalwood carved beam, every antique jade, and every coral moon in this house made her feel that this room was extremely empty.
"Old lady, it's time for a lunch break."
"Let's go, hey."
After collecting the emotions in his head, Bai got up and walked tremblingly to the place where he usually took a nap. I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for long. What should the Liang family do? Yu'er's temperament, what should I do?
No matter what the Bai family thinks in his heart, Zhuge Xuanyu is always light and light, in his heart, the entire Liang family, including the Bai family, is like a snake, always wanting to spit out the red letter in his mouth to him, wanting to swallow him.
"Gao Cheng, do you know which Gu family in this capital has a girl named Gu Jinjiao?"
When she woke up from a night's dream, Zhuge Xuanyu was lying on the couch with her feet crossed and playing with the things in her hand, if Gu Jinjiao saw what he was playing, she would be startled, because it was clearly the token that her mother gave her two days ago to summon Jinyiwei!
"Master, if you want to say that this Gu family I may hesitate for a moment, but this Gu Jinjiao is a well-known figure in the capital. I don't know why the master is asking this? ”
"Famous?" Zhuge Xuanyu raised his eyebrows, "I think she looks pretty good, but it's not so good to see fame, right?" What is your outstanding talent? ”
The person called Gao Cheng shook his head, "I haven't seen this Gu Jinjiao, but she is famous because she is arrogant and domineering, and she looks at people's nostrils facing the sky." It is said that last month she had an awkward quarrel with Miss Wenjuan in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I heard that the two of them fell in love with the same jewelry, and Gu Jinjiao slapped her. ”
"Oh? I really can't see this, this Gu Jinjiao doesn't look like this kind of arrogant woman. Looking at the protruding order word of the token in his hand, Zhuge Xuanyu pressed it, and he didn't know how this token was made, and this order could still be raised after pressing.
"The master has seen Gu Jinjiao?"
"Yes. You've seen it, too, the woman with me on the roof last night. ”
Gao Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth, "It seems that it's really her, usually a girl who has nothing to do to climb the roof." It is better for the master to have less contact with this kind of person in the future. ”
"Let's talk about it. Gao Cheng, you go, go and ask that Gu Jinjiao to come to the Huiju teahouse at noon, and tell her that something has fallen on me, and I want to return it to her. ”
Zhuge Xuanyu accepted the token in his hand, the master and servant were both very fun, a stupid stunned young man, a little clever but confused crazy woman, I don't know what fun things will happen to her tomorrow.
"Yes."
When Gao Cheng disappeared, Zhuge Xuanyu stretched his waist and called the little servant, and then walked unhurriedly towards the place where the Bai family lived in the master bedroom.
The old lady has played the family card, how can he not go! He wants to see this Bai Clan, and what kind of moth is he going to play on him!
"Grandma~Your good~~ grandson has arrived."
Zhuge Xuanyu lazily leaned against the door frame of the outer room of the main house, looking at the Bai clan sitting inside who was not angry but mighty, and shouted.
Ignoring Zhuge Xuanyu's deliberately elongated tone, Bai Shi waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates, patted the chair on the side with a loving face, and motioned for Zhuge Xuanyu to sit down. "Yu'er come and sit, grandma has something to discuss with you."
Zhuge Xuanyu snorted coldly, and sat down on the table next to him casually, "No need, if you have something to say, the master is busy." ”
Bai's face changed, he wanted to get angry, and he thought of the current situation, so he swallowed the fire in the end, "Yu'er, I came back to you this time to arrange a Gu ceremony for you, the clan has arranged it, and I want to find you..."
"I don't accept it." Zhuge Xuanyu shook his fists: "What does your Liang family's affairs have to do with me?" My surname is Zhuge and not Liang, there is no need to sacrifice myself for the luck of your Liang family. If nothing else, I'll take my leave. This Gu you love to whoever you give it to has nothing to do with me. ”
"Zhuge Xuanyu!"
Seeing Zhuge Xuanyu jumping down from the table and was about to push the door out, Bai stood up anxiously and was about to pull, but he didn't want to, and before he could take two steps, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
