Chapter 16 Gu Gongzi of the pit father
The joint burial ceremony began.
In fact, Old Madam Gu's coffin had already been removed and repainted before. According to the meaning of taking care of Shangshu, he originally wanted to change the coffin, but was persuaded by the patriarchs. This person must have been rotting after being dead for all these years, and he was tossing the body out to change the coffin, which was disrespectful to the deceased, and also made relatives and friends feel heartache, so it was better to repaint it. Gu Shangshu thought about it, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to accept the tattered appearance of his mother's body.
Old Lady Gu's grave opened an opening just big enough for the coffin to enter and exit. This was the result of the great uncle's hard work, and he did not want his mother's coffin to be disturbed again. Everyone came to the cemetery of the ancestors of the Gu family, and the children of the clan who had prepared here had already scattered paper money, according to the customs of Qingyuan County, the burial required the descendants of the descendants to make flags in front, whether it was Fangsheng or Gu Lianyong who made the flags became the focus of controversy.
The eldest uncle of the Gu family believes that the Yang family is the daughter-in-law personally appointed by the old lady Gu, and the old lady has never seen the Chen family before she dies, so naturally she can only recognize the Yang family as a legitimate descendant.
Of course the Chen family won't do it, she is a serious lady of the Emperor, how can she be willing to fall behind the Yang family, a woman from a fast hunting family. The kowtow in the ancestral hall just now has made her lose face, and now the ladies are keeping a certain distance from her, and she can only twist the veil and feel sour in her heart, and secretly make up her mind that when this play is finished, she must get the Liansheng sisters and brothers to the house and clean it up.
"Two uncles, look at this ......"
Gu Shangshu and Uncle Gu were at a stalemate, and turned their eyes to the two clan uncles.
"This ......" the third uncle and the fifth uncle almost burst into tears.
A big official in the capital, one is a local snake, Uncle Gu is a rich family in the local area, and he gave birth to 7 sons in one go, and he is also a tyrant in Qingyuan. These two people are fighting to take our old brothers on their backs, it's really too much for you!
The third uncle said in a snort: "That, this, alas, you two should discuss it carefully, you can't be in a hurry." ”
The fifth uncle glanced at the third uncle, feeling that he was really embarrassed, seeing Gu Shangshu turn his encouraging eyes on himself, he could only stubbornly say: "This matter, it is true that only the Yang family was hired by your mother back then, and from the etiquette and law, the Yang family is the wife recognized by your mother, and it is natural for the son of the Yang family to make a flag for your mother." After saying this, he heard Chen snort dissatisfied, and Lian Sheng pretended to be on the side to arrange the funeral rites, pricking up his ears to listen to the results of the discussion there.
The fifth uncle snorted at this Chen, and his old face was a little unbearable: "But this Chen family is now a serious stepfamily, and it is still the first-class lady of the current saint, and the son of the Chen family is also reasonable." ”
When Liansheng heard this, he looked at Fang Sheng to see how this and the mud could go on.
"Fifth uncle, what are you going to say?" Gu Shangshu was impatient.
"Well, since this is a stalemate, don't use your grandson to beat the flag, you can fight it yourself."
"I'm fighting?"
"Yes, this is also a filial thing, you are in a high position but you are still holding a flag for your mother's funeral, and it is also a good thing to spread it, hehehe." This fifth uncle was really cunning, and he kicked the ball to Gu Shangshu lightly.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Gu Shangshu thought that he could only do this. So he stepped forward and picked up the white flag, and the ceremony began.
First of all, the children and grandchildren were led by Gu Shangshu and walked around the grave while kowtowing three times.
As soon as the Chen family and their children saw Gu Shangshu beating the white flag, they hurriedly followed him closely, intending to squeeze the Liansheng sisters and brothers out of the team. When Fang Sheng saw it, he wouldn't do it if he stood behind these people. Lian Sheng pulled him by the hand and walked quickly to the back of the line at his uncle's house.
The eldest aunt nodded to Liansheng and whispered, "I have wronged you." ”
Lian Sheng gently held the eldest aunt's hand: "Actually, our sister and brother are so similar to the situation of our uncle and aunt back then." ”
This sigh touched the heart of the eldest aunt. Her own mother-in-law died early, and since she became a daughter-in-law, she recognized Mrs. Gu as her mother-in-law, and she was always one layer behind, because of filial piety, the grievances were rarely humane to outsiders, which was also the main reason why the eldest uncle and his wife must stumble on Gu Shangshu in the matter of joint burial.
The Liansheng sisters and brothers actually stood in the line of the eldest uncle's house, Gu Shangshu didn't pay attention to the banner in front, but Gu Lianyong saw it. He has been the eldest son of Gu Fu since birth, and he is arrogant, and now he suddenly has a Fang Sheng who provokes his status as a sister-in-law, and this Fang Sheng is still a talented man who has been in the show at the age of fourteen, and his appearance and bearing are not worse than his own, Gu Lianyong's heart is quite dissatisfied, this time he saw that the Liansheng sister and brother actually followed behind the uncle's family, and felt that he had caught the handle, and after the round grave kowtowed, he walked to the Liansheng sister and brother and asked: "Why are your grandmother's children and grandchildren following behind the eldest uncle's family, what is your intention?" ”
Seeing that everyone on the other side was looking over, Lian Sheng hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be very aggrieved.
The fifth cousin stepped forward and said, "It's about to be a joint burial, don't make any more trouble." "This cousin is also a showman, and he thinks he can still speak.
Gu Lianyong looked down on these countrymen at all, and glanced at him obliquely: "Who are you, how can you speak?" ”
The cousin's eyes rolled with choking.
Liansheng hurriedly pulled Fang Sheng, Fang Sheng stepped forward to give this cousin a bow, and Lian Sheng was also blessed.
"The fifth brother is not strange, the brother is rude, and the younger brother has made amends for the fifth brother for him."
The fifth cousin was blushed by Gu Lianyong, and here he got the Liansheng sister and brother to apologize, and he also found the bottom of the steps, and nodded curtly: "Blame me for talking too much, alas." ”
He patted Fang Sheng on the shoulder, and said nothing, this Chen and her children were too much.
This sigh was heard in Gu Lianyong's ears, and it was a mockery of himself.
What am I doing wrong? I use both of you to apologize for me? What kind of thing are you! Gu Lianyong sneered: "What did I do wrong?" One or two old and young want to teach me a lesson? I don't know that this is the style of the Gu family in Qingyuan County? This son is just looking at his father's face, he is too lazy for you people, and he really gave my son and me the money for my uncle and eldest brother? If there is really that high spirit, why did you go straight to our house when you entered the capital, not to ask for a favor. ”
The five cousins were immediately annoyed.
He really figured out that Uncle Guò was looking for a way to get promoted, but he went to the Gu Mansion, and he was sent away by a few taels of silver sent by the Chen family without seeing the Uncle Gu at all, and he swore that he would never set foot on the Gu Mansion again in his life. Hearing Gu Lianyong mention this today, he only felt that the blood in his whole body rushed to his brain, and all his anger burned.
"Gu Lianyong, you are also worthy of being everyone's son?"
He stared at Gu Lianyong, with fire in his eyes: "Your mind is too far worse than Fang Sheng, and too far worse than the ordinary people of my Gu clan." Don't worry, I, Gu Yesheng, will never step into your Gu Mansion in the future. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left. Fang Sheng hurriedly followed quickly: "Fifth brother, don't be angry, fifth brother." ”
"Hehe, then please remember your oath, don't come to my house crying and shouting in the future, and take a few taels of silver, that is, my mother is soft-hearted, if I am temperamental, I will go out early."
As the saying goes, killing people is not enough. Lian Sheng looked at it coldly from the side, and said in his heart that this Gu Lian Yongzhen would not be a man. It is true that people may not be able to catch up with your current height in their lives, but it is easy to meet after leaving a line of work, no injustice and no hatred, why chase and beat others.
"Gu Lianyong, don't deceive people too much." Liansheng reminded him on the side.
This Gu Lianyong was angry with Liansheng, and she hated her the most. It's just that he hasn't been able to find a chance to vent, and all the evil fire has been sent out to Gu Yesheng. Seeing that Liansheng dared to speak for Gu Yesheng, he said angrily: "You bastard from a lowly slave background dare to teach me a lesson? What is it. ”
Gu Yesheng suddenly turned around: "Who are you talking about!" ”
It turned out that this Gu Yesheng was the eldest son of Gu Shangshu's cousin's family, and his uncle was a butcher, and when he was studying in the academy, he was always ridiculed as the nephew of the butcher's family, and he was born in a cheap business.
This Gu Lianyong was used to being arrogant by the Chen family, how could he bow his head in front of everyone and answer loudly: "Whoever admits it will scold him." ”
Seeing Gu Yesheng's face flushed, Lian Sheng clenched his fists, knowing that he was about to explode, stepped forward and whispered: "Fifth brother, forget it, they are the sons of Shangshu, we, what are we in the eyes of others." ”
"Hmph, you and the twelfth brother are serious descendants, what are you afraid of him doing?" Gu Yesheng pointed at Gu Lianyong and said, "Sure enough, it was raised by a little woman, and the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and it is you! ”
In order to maintain the dignity of his mother's family, Gu Yesheng also spoke harshly.
"What do you say? Say it again! "Gu Lianyong was most stimulated today by the word "concubine", at this moment, when he heard Gu Yesheng say this, all his anger erupted, and he rushed to Gu Yesheng with a roar, punching and kicking.
Gu Shangshu only heard Gu Lianyong's howl here, and then saw him rushing towards Gu Yesheng like crazy, Chen turned around and was stunned, covering his mouth with a handkerchief.
Gu Shangshu hurriedly shouted to the little guy: "Go and pull it away, what kind of system is this!" ”
Although Gu Yesheng's family background is not good, his grandfather is the Gu family's long house, and it is not something that he Gu Lianyong said would beat.
Liansheng watched the two of them fight together, and gave Fang Sheng a look to pull the fight.
Fang Sheng hugged Gu Lianyong from behind: "Don't fight anymore, it's important for grandmothers to be buried together." ”
Gu Lianyong couldn't struggle, he was punched twice by Gu Yesheng, he was so angry that he screamed, and he broke away from Fang Sheng's arm with all his might, but he didn't want to use too much force, and with the inertia, it was like an open tomb that slipped away.
Liansheng shouted, "Brother be careful. He said and reached for it.
Gu Lianyong watched Liansheng pull it, and hurriedly reached for her sleeve, when he suddenly saw a weird smile on Liansheng's face, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, she wanted to harm me!
Before he could react, he saw Lian Sheng leaning sideways, blocking the sight of the person opposite with Fang Sheng, but he pushed him, Gu Lianyong stood unsteadily, and fell straight towards the tomb.
Behind them was the woods, and no one could see what was going on except for the view from the other side. only saw Fang Sheng pulling the frame, Gu Lian never appreciated it and threw Fang Sheng away, but he was planted into the tomb because of too much force.
The eldest uncle shouted, "Son of sin! How dare you run into your grandparents' spirits in the sky! ”
Gu Shangshu's face was pale and he couldn't speak.
didn't wait for the joint burial, his son fell into the grave first, what is this!
The eldest uncle took his seven sons and knelt on the ground: "Gu Han connived at his son to crash into my parents' coffin, begging the patriarch to give us an explanation!" ”
"My brother, my brother didn't mean it!"
Gu Yimo shouted with a crying voice. Gu Shangshu pointed to Gu Lianyong, who was scolding Liansheng's sister and brother in the tomb, and scolded: "You son of a wreck! Hurry up and make amends to your great uncle! ”
