Chapter 15: Honorable and Humble

Chen sat there and posed as a dignified and virtuous lady, and he was already angry to death. The two hands were tightly twisted together, the fingernails were against the palms, and they had already been pinched and bruised, and they didn't feel the slightest pain.

Her eldest daughter, Gu Yiqian, stood behind her, and when she saw that her sister and brother were so arrogant, she suddenly said, "My mother is also Mrs. Yipin, you sisters and brothers come and kowtow to my mother."

That's right, Gu Lianyong thought of it at this time, and also followed up: "Etiquette cannot be wasted." ”

"Yes, ordinary people naturally want to kowtow when they see Mrs. Yipin." Lian Sheng replied crisply, and Gu Lianyong was triumphant: "Then you don't come over quickly." ”

"It's just that I don't know if today is about family law, patriarchal law or national law?"

"No matter what kind of law you talk about, are you not allowed to kowtow when you see Mrs. Yipin?"

"No, no, no." Liansheng stretched out a finger and shook it repeatedly.

"If it is a family law and patriarchal law, this ancestral hall only talks about ethics, regardless of official position and status. If you talk about national law, then the Gu clan in this ancestral hall is estimated to kowtow to Mrs. Yipin except for Gu Shangshu, right? Lian Sheng looked around with a smile, and the elders sitting there and the peers standing behind the elders all looked at Mrs. Chen thoughtfully.

Yes, if according to the law of the country, everyone has to kowtow to you, so many uncles and aunts have to kowtow to your nephew and daughter-in-law, are you really embarrassed to sit there? You shouldn't be here today!

Chen bit his lip angrily, and tore the handkerchief fiercely in his hand.

"You, you're using strong words."

Gu Yiqian noticed the unkind eyes around her, and she was angry.

"I just want to understand what reason is. This Miss Gu family, I don't know who it is? ”

Lian Sheng looked at her provocatively, which really aroused Gu Yiqian's anger: "I am the eldest daughter of the Gu family, you have to call me a sister." ”

"The eldest daughter, it may not be a concubine, right?" Seeing that she was really in the trap, Lian Sheng blinked mischievously: "Two uncles, you have to give an explanation." ”

"What do you want?" Gu Shangshu understood that this sister and brother were here to find faults, so he simply asked directly, if it weren't for everyone in the clan, he would have ordered someone to drag them down a long time ago. But now in front of so many people, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how can he ignore the patriarchal etiquette, especially the commander of the brocade guard who is like a maggot attached to the bones! I don't know where to wait for me to make a mistake. Gu Shangshu could only comfort himself, and endure this breath, and when their sister and brother entered the Gu family in the future, they would be able to clean up by themselves.

"The name is respectful and humble, the name is decided, and the grandparents and my ancestors of the Gu family can also enjoy the incense of their children and grandchildren."

The two patriarchs turned their eyes to Gu Shangshu, this was Gu Shangshu's family matter, and they naturally wanted to only look at Gu Shangshu.

If the name is not correct, then the Chen family is a flat wife and a concubine. Correct name, then today the Chen family must first kowtow in front of the Yang tablet.

Gu Shangshu looked at his wife, although Chen was already a, his eyes when he looked at Gu Shangshu were pitiful. Gu Shangshu couldn't bear it in his heart, and the third uncle couldn't help but ask: "Zi Chang, look at this matter......

Everyone in the ancestral hall held their breath and could hear their breath. Gu Shangshu hesitated for a moment, but still got up and said to the two patriarchs: "Then let's worship the Yang family first." ”

These words were not loud, and they were like a bolt from the blue in Chen's ears. She stood up, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Gu Shangshu with tears in her eyes, and called out aggrievedly: "Master......"

"Poof." Some young people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This Chen family made such a little daughter gesture, and the aunt of the Gu family couldn't help frowning: Although the Yang family was from a fast family back then, she was dignified and generous, and she looked much more serious than the Chen family, who was born as a so-called official lady. It's really embarrassing to be in front of so many elders and juniors.

Gu Shangshu felt sorry for his wife, but in front of this old man, he could only harden his heart and say: "Madam, the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Chen couldn't get comfort from her husband, but when she saw that she really went to ask for Yang's spiritual position, she trembled with anger, and Gu Yiqian hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"I'm going to worship a woman from a family of fast catchers?" She pointed to the invited Yang Spirit Seat, her voice trembling.

"Madam, this is etiquette, you better bow first."

Gu Shangshu was recruited by Chen Ge as a son-in-law, this Chen family was originally a concubine born to a favored concubine, she was arrogant at home, she was above Gu Shangshu all these years, and today she opened an ancestral hall, she pretended to be dignified and virtuous and endured for a long time, and she had already been almost angry and almost rampant.

"Why should I worship her!"

This shout, the fifth uncle was unhappy.

"I said that the eldest daughter-in-law, you are Mrs. Yipin, and it is true that you are the daughter of the old family of the pavilion, but it is the rule to worship the predecessor of the spiritual position as a step-room, you won't not understand the rules."

"The rules are also made by people." Chen was really unconvinced, and his tone of voice was a little rushed.

It was the first time that the two patriarchs were confronted like this by a junior from a woman's family, and their faces immediately turned black.

Gu Shangshu couldn't imagine that Chen was so breathless, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pull her and whispered in her ear, "Is this important for reputation or face?" What do you have to do with a dead man? The dead are great, so what can you do if you worship her? ”

At this time, Chen also found that everyone looked at him very strangely, and he was a little more disdainful and dissatisfied, so he could only swallow his anger and be helped by his daughter to come to Yang's spiritual seat, put on three incense sticks, and then lightly blessed his body.

"In the end, she is a young lady from a rich family, and her waist is hard." "Hehe, is this someone backing up?"

There are cousins and daughters who used to have a good relationship with the Yang family, and they can't watch it.

It's too insincere for you to do this.

Chen turned his head and glared fiercely in the direction in which he was speaking.

Lian Sheng pulled Fang Sheng forward and knocked his head three times in front of the Yang family's spiritual seat. Then he said: "The children are not filial, the mother was suspended from remarrying during her lifetime, and after her death, she had to endure the neglect and perfunctory of the concubines. It is really the incompetence of the children, and the mother will be humiliated under the nine springs. Why don't my sister and brother kill themselves together today. ”

As he spoke, he was going to hit the offering table directly.

The eldest aunt of the Gu family, Wang, grabbed her, patted her on the shoulder and said, "My son, why do you think like this, this is the ancestral hall of our Gu family, and naturally there are elders who administer justice for your mother." ”

Lian Sheng cried in his aunt's arms: "Although my mother came from a humble background, she is virtuous and capable, since she married into our Gu family, she has never made a mistake, she was abused and hated to death by a concubine in the capital, and today she is treated so simply in front of the public, what face do our sisters and brothers have to live in the world." ”

She turned her head, and there were already tears streaming down her face.

"Father, my mother has never been sorry for you in her lifetime, you are dedicated to studying, my mother does everything in the family by herself, just stop your wife and remarry, what are you doing today to let the concubine insult my mother."

Liansheng cried with grief, and the other ladies gritted their teeth when they thought of their concubines and children. It is also that this Gu Shangshu is too cold, he obeyed the Chen family's arrangement for everything after he got ahead, and never refused to take care of the clan relatives in his hometown, and the sons and nephews of the clan went to the capital to take refuge and were sent back by the Chen family, and everyone saw that they could not get any benefits from Gu Shangshu, and they already hated it, and at this moment, when they heard Lian Sheng crying like this, they accused the Chen family of being too perfunctory.

"Sister don't cry, my brother died here with you." Fang Sheng was going to hit his robe as soon as he threw his robe.

Several cousins hurriedly pulled him down, and for a while there was a mess. Gu Yiqian's hatred couldn't slap Liansheng's face, Gu Lianyong even pointed at Liansheng, trembling and speechless.

"Zichang, look at this, the auspicious time is coming soon, what should you do about this."

The third uncle was made big by these people.

The eldest uncle said: "Second brother, it's not me who is the elder brother to say you, although our Gu family is not a rich family, but after all, Shili is an heirloom, you can't indulge your wife like this." "Gu Shangshu was so troubled by Liansheng that he was about to collapse, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he had been an official for many years, and he had come and gone with people with official status, how could he have seen such a sprinkling of trouble.

shouted angrily: "Okay, you see you crying and crying like a shrew!" The Gu family's face has been lost by you. ”

Hearing this, Liansheng continued to cry: "Father said this about me, Liansheng and I have only one way to die, Mother, Grandmother, Liansheng will follow you." ”

The anxious aunt and the other aunts hurriedly stopped and persuaded one by one: "My son, your father didn't say anything about you, don't be careful. ”

Gu Shangshu was helpless, so he had to look at Chen and ask her to kneel.

"The auspicious time is coming soon, you should quickly kneel down and bow down, the old lady is buried together."

Chen's anger almost turned his back, Gu Shangshu said to give his son a look, Gu Lianyong saw that it would not work if he didn't bow down in this form today, so he could only support Chen's and whispered: "Mother, you will kneel and worship this dead woman once today, waiting for us to bring that pair of evil seeds into the mansion, how to torture them, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years." ”

Chen was already riding a tiger at the moment, so he could only grit his teeth and kneel.

Liansheng's eyes slipped and looked at Chen's kowtow, and his heart blossomed, but there was too much snuff on this handkerchief, and tears and snot came together, and he couldn't help it, so he could only cry with red eyes, and he was praised behind his relatives for a filial piety.

After Chen's bowing, Gu Lianyong helped her get up, Chen shook it, and suddenly collapsed and fainted.

Gu Lianyong and Gu Yiqian shouted, "Mother, mother! Everyone hurriedly helped Chen to his seat again.

Yi Mo, the concubine of the Gu family, pointed at Liansheng and said, "You have made your mother dizzy, it is really a big rebellion, quickly kneel down to apologize to your mother." ”

After bowing to the Yang family, it is equivalent to recognizing the status of the stepwife of the Chen family, Gu Yimo grabbed this handle and wanted to show it in front of the Chen family.

Lian Sheng pretended to be surprised and frightened, and said timidly: "Where do I dare to disturb Madame, maybe Madame is too sincere, and she uses too much force when she bows." Madam, Madame is all Liansheng's fault, please take care of Madame. ”

As he spoke, he rushed over, swept the handkerchief to Chen's nose, and Chen sneezed out.

Liansheng was surprised: "Hey, Madam, this is really dizzy and fast, and she wakes up quickly." ”

"Okay, the auspicious time is coming soon, everyone tidy up their instruments, and the joint funeral ceremony will be held soon." The third uncle saw that the Chen family was pretending to be dizzy, and he didn't break it, but the eldest aunt suddenly said, "If the younger brother and sister are unwell, then go to the back hall to rest first, and it is the same if they are replaced by children." ”

Bowing to the Yang family, in Chen's opinion, it was simply too embarrassing, she was waiting for a step down, and hurriedly said: "Then I will ......"

"Stand by my side, and don't go anywhere."

Gu Shangshu knew that it was impossible for the eldest brother and wife to come up with any good ideas, so he hurriedly intercepted Chen's words.

Lian Sheng looked at Chen's red and white face, exchanged glances with Fang Sheng, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling.
