In front of the tomb of General Zhongwu, the strong men of the ancient mansion quickly wiped the stone incense burner and the offering table, and then retreated.

Qingshu and Qingyang stepped forward. Qingshu took the white porcelain plate full of apples handed by Xiaojuan, and then handed it to Qingyang.

Qingyang took the fruit plate from his sister's hand and solemnly placed it on the table. This is followed by purple fruits, pears and red dates.

After the fruit plate is placed, then a whole chicken and a whole fish are arranged.

Xiao Juan retreated, and Qing Shu took a few steps back and stood next to Gu Ye's face with a sad face.

Gu Yuanhe was supported by the ingots, held the two candlesticks with white candles to Qingyang, and watched Qingyang put them on the offering table one by one, and then handed the fire fold to Qingyang.

Qingyang lit the two white candles seriously and attentively. Then, he took the three bunches of incense handed by Gu Yuanhe, lit them on the candle flame, walked to the incense burner, carefully inserted them on the incense ashes, and then stepped back and knelt on the round futon placed in the front position.

Qing Shu saw that Gu Ye was just staring blankly at the tombstone, and called out softly. The Gu Ye clan was still dumbfounded. Qing Shu leaned over and touched Gu Ye's arm, "Mother, it's time for you to incense." ”

Gu Ye came back to his senses at this time, pulled out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, pressed the corner of his eyes, put away the silk handkerchief, and then Ding Jiamei helped him to step forward. Gu Yuanhe handed the three bunches of incense to Ding Jiamei, who took it and handed it to Gu Ye. Gu Ye learned from Qingyang's example, ignited three bunches of incense on the candle flame and inserted them in the incense burner. Only then was Ding Jiamei helped her to retreat and knelt on the futon on the right rear side of Qingyang.

The last was Qingshu, who had incense and knelt on the futon on the left back side of Qingyang. Of course, the position where she had to kneel was one step behind the Gu Ye clan, because she was the daughter of the Gu Ye clan and a junior.

Qingyang knelt at the front, because he was a man of the Gu family, and he was the person who could best represent the Gu family.

After the three masters knelt down, the people who were standing silently behind them, the people of the ancient mansion led by Gu Qiang, all knelt down.

"Daddy......" Qingyang called, then shed tears and kowtowed.

Gu Ye called out "Cloud Tiger" and began to cry.

Qingshu was sad on his face, shouting his father in his heart, silently, slowly, kowtowing nine times in a row. She occupied the body of Gu Yunhu's daughter and shouldered the responsibility of supporting the entire Gu Mansion, can she think that she is already the real daughter of Gu Yunhu.

Kowtowed, Gu Qiang turned around, "You all go down, wait below." ”

Su's mother stood up and took all the people down. Gu Qiang stood up and retreated to the downhill entrance, where he could see the three masters, but he couldn't hear the three masters talking.

In front of the general's tomb, only Gu Ye's family, Qingshu and Qingyang remained.

Qingyang maintained a kneeling position, wiped the tears on his face, and spoke in a low voice, "Dad, Xiaoyang misses Dad, Xiaoyang doesn't remember what Daddy looks like, Xiaoyang didn't mean it, my sister said that Xiaoyang was too young to remember, Dad don't complain about Xiaoyang's ......"

Gu Ye sat on the ground, crying and muttering, "Yunhu, you are so ruthless, so ruthless." You say go, leave me alone, I'm scared, I'm afraid of your brother, I'm afraid of your daughter, I'm afraid of your son, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of everyone. ”

"How can you do this to me? How can it be? You left ruthlessly, you didn't care about me at all, you left me a suicide note, but the suicide note only mentioned children and irrelevant people, have you ever considered for me? Hmm...... Have you ever thought about how I, a weak female streamer with two ignorant children, can survive in the cannibalistic capital? I hate you, I hate you, and I will never forgive you in this life...... Uh-huh......"

Qing Shu, who was full of sadness, heard the words muttered by Gu Ye Clan clearly, and immediately stared at Gu Ye Clan with an incredible look. What the hell is this man's brain? actually resents his dead husband like this. Who wants to die, who doesn't want to live well, can Gu Yunhu still choose his life and death? Hit three arrows in the chest, carried back to the camp by his brother, dying, knowing that he was not far from death, and thinking about leaving a few words to his wife, and reluctantly writing a scribbled suicide note, how strong this man is.

Is it wrong for a man to think about his children before he dies? Is it wrong to ask his wife to take care of a pair of sons? Could it be that when he is a father, he still wants to sue the Gu Ye clan, you can't abuse my children well? It's obviously a reasonable thing, why did she come to Gu Ye's place, but it became a sin, a man's fault, and a reason for her to resent a man. Isn't this whole a neuropathy? Gu Yunhu was really blind at the beginning, so he married such a selfish and mentally abnormal woman.

Qing Shu heard it, and Qing Yang naturally heard it too. He looked back in a daze, glanced at Gu Ye Clan a few times, and then looked at Qing Shu, his eyes full of confusion.

Qing Shu crawled forward, hugged Qing Yang, whose face was full of tears, and patted him on the back, not knowing what to say properly

Qingyang leaned tightly into Qingshu's arms, and said in a choked voice: "Sister, Xiaoyang is afraid." ”

Qing Shu hugged him tighter, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Yiqiē has a sister, my sister is very powerful, my sister's Xiaoyang is also very powerful, and she has won the fat man Ding Tianci, isn't it?" ”

Qingyang sniffed and nodded.

Gu Ye was still talking intermittently about whether he hated or not.

Qing Shu chose to ignore her muttering as much as possible and spoke to her younger brother, "Xiaoyang, my father doesn't know about your victory over Ding Tianci, and he doesn't know about the fact that you have learned a lot of articles. Come, you sue sù dad, my sister helps you cover your ears, can you concentrate on talking to your dad? ”

Qingyang nodded, wiped the tears from his face, and knelt on the futon again.

Qing Shu sat directly on the ground beside him and helped him cover his ears. She couldn't help but listen to Gu Ye's words, but she could choose not to look at Gu Ye's person.

Gu Ye was still crying, still whispering resentful words intermittently.

Qing Shu couldn't help but listen, she was very bored, but suddenly, she listened attentively.

"You're hateful, you're hateful. Hmm...... You don't care about me...... She's all dead, and you're still obsessed with her...... I hate you. Hmm...... For the princess's son, you lost your life, you deserve it, you deserve it, you deserve to die, don't you...... Why am I so miserable......

Hearing this, Qing Shu was stunned at first, then shocked, and after the shock, his hands trembled with fright. She didn't think about it, and suddenly shouted, "You shut up. ”

This shout alarmed Gu Qiang and frightened Gu Ye's family. And Qingyang, because his ears were covered, although he heard it, the impact on his ears was obviously weakened a lot.

Gu Qiang strode over, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Qing Shu quickly looked left and right, it was flat and spacious, and there was no one in sight. If there was a person hiding in the tree fifty or sixty meters away, it stands to reason that he would not be able to hear Gu Ye's weak voice. However, she was still afraid, "Butler, take a look at anyone around?" Fast? ”

Gu Qiang saw the panic on Qing Shu's face, thinking that he was frightened by some movement, so he hurriedly looked around, and finally walked around the tomb made of blue bricks, but there was nothing. "Miss, did you hear anything?"

Qing Shu didn't answer, but just ordered him, "The young master is tired of crying, take the young master down and rest in the carriage." Then he patted the back of Qingyang's little hand, "You wait for my sister in the carriage, my sister and my mother will say a few words, and then we will go down in a while." Obedient,"

Qingyang looked at her uneasily, not moving.

"Obedient, go quickly!" Qing Shu pushed him.

Qingyang stood up at this time, but because he had been kneeling for a long time, he was a little unsteady when he got up.

Seeing this, Gu Qiang hugged Qingyang, his eyes crossed the face of Gu Ye's face with flickering eyes, and then stopped on the face of Qing Shu, who was staring at Gu Ye's with cold eyes, turned around, and strode towards the downhill with Qingyang in his arms.

Qing Shu stood up and moved in front of the Gu Ye clan step by step. Gu Ye's gaze dodged, and his body involuntarily retreated.

Qing Shu took another step forward, squatted down, forced his eyes at Gu Ye's family, and said in a low voice: "Mother, what you said just now, please say it again." ”

Gu Ye twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and asked with a cower: "What, what?" ”

Qing Shu grabbed her slender wrist, "You just said 'her', who is she?" What other son of evil, for whom did the father die, why did he deserve to die? Tell me about it, and let me know too. ”

Because of going far away, unlike others who were tired all the way and lost weight, Gu Ye, who was no longer stuffy in the house all day, not only had some flesh on his face, but his originally pale face was also much ruddy. But at this moment, the ruddy color of her face faded, and it was a bloodless pale. She shook her head, tears falling like pearls with broken threads, "No, no, I ...... Didn't say anything, didn't say anything. ”

Qing Shu's hand was strong, and his voice was low and cold, "Look at me." ”

Gu Ye's wrist hurt, but he didn't dare to cry out the pain, and reluctantly looked at Shang Qingshu with cold eyes.

"From this day forward, you take care of your mouth for this girl. This girl can't shorten your food and drink, but if you dare to talk nonsense, you will cause death to this girl, and this girl will kill you first, and then commit suicide. ”

Gu Ye's body trembled, and the whole person softened, and his eyes were full of fear.

Qing Shu slowly let go of her wrist, stood up expressionlessly, turned around, and slowly knelt down in front of the offering table, and said in a voice that Gu Ye could hear: "Dad, for the sake of Xiaoyang's safety in life, my daughter is willing to do anything." What I just said to my mother, my daughter is serious, and I hope my father will not blame her. As he spoke, he swallowed three heads. Only then did he stand up, and when he saw Gu Qiang guarding the downhill entrance, he beckoned.

Gu Qiang saw it and hurriedly ran over, "Miss." ”

Qing Shu looked at Gu Ye with an expressionless face, "Mother is tired, let Ding Jiamei wait to return to the carriage." Let Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu come up to serve, and I will stay with my father for a while. ”

Gu Qiang hurriedly went down to make arrangements. Soon, Mother Su and Sister Ding came up and helped Gu Ye, who was pale and had not dried his tears, to go downhill. Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu came, and Qingyang also followed.

Qing Shu didn't chase him, but put the futon away, and the two sisters and brothers sat next to each other on the ground, silent.

At this time, Qing Shu's face seemed calm, but his heart was very uncalm. Originally, it looked like simple things, such as the loyal military general loyal to the country and died in battle, such as Gu Qiang's loyalty, such as the Xiao family's bullying and fearlessness, these things are clear, but because of the words "she", "princess", "evil son", and "you deserve to die" read by Gu Ye, it seems that they have been changed beyond recognition. The qiē in front of him is no longer simple and clear, but has a mysterious and dangerous veil.

It's just that, can you believe Gu Ye's words? She's a neurotic whole thing, can you believe it?

In the memory of the original owner, as long as Gu Yunhu was at home, he always liked to tease her and throw her away, listening to her scream and laugh. Gu Yunhu also likes to hug his infant son, muttering how he can't call his father and so on. Gu Yunhu often said to Gu Ye's family, "The three of you eat more every day, and see how thin you are." And Gu Ye always sat on the side, looking at him and laughing.

Gu Ye invited the old lady back, one is to bind her daughter's feet, and the other is to let her daughter learn the etiquette and morality of everyone's ladies and women's morality. Gu Yunhu saw that his daughter was crying so much, he invited the old mother away, untied the cloth used to wrap her little feet around her little feet, and said angrily, "My Gu Yunhu's children don't learn those stinky rules." Whenever this happens, Gu Ye just smiles helplessly, very gently.

This qiē changed after the news of Gu Yunhu's death in battle came. Gu Ye no longer smiled gently, treated his children indifferently, refused to look at his children again, and hid in Wenlan Courtyard every day and cried with self-pity.

Qing Shu carefully rummaged through his memory, but in any case, there were no related memories such as "princess" and "son", and in the same way, he didn't remember that his father and mother had quarreled over a certain "her". Over the years, the Gu Ye clan has not confided such a single word, why today, after more than five years, the Gu Ye clan suddenly has such an amazing word?

"Miss, young master, it's time to get up, it's cold on the ground." Xiaoyu reminded.

Qing Shu was too focused to listen.

Xiaojuan helped Qingshu's arm, "Miss, it's cold on the ground, and the slave will help you up." ”

Being helped so suddenly, Qing Shu came back to his senses, responded slowly, and pulled Qingyang beside him, "Get up, go give your grandparents a snort." ”

When their siblings were on their feet, the two maids were busy helping them beat the dust on their clothes.

The graves of the two old men have to go up a little further. At the beginning, although Gu Yunfu took five hundred taels of silver from Gu Ye's side, when the two old men were buried, Gu Yunfu wanted to carry more silver into his pocket, so he found a random place and buried the two old men together. Later, the graves of the two old men were moved to the site of the tomb of General Chungmu. Since it was already a joint burial before, there is naturally no reason to separate the graves, and it is still a joint burial.

The sacrifices had already been set up before, and Qingshu and Qingyang had just kowtowed in the past.

Meat and fruit are luxuries for the poor. Because he was worried that the children in the surrounding villages would come up to grab food and collide with the people sleeping underground, Gu Qiang had told Qingshu and Qingyang before, and when they had worshipped, he would distribute these things to the villagers and children gathered under the general's tomb when they left.

Therefore, when Qingshu and Qingyang went downhill, Gu Qiang sent someone up, took back the sacrifices one by one, and took them down the slope, the purple fruits were to be brought back to the house, and the rest were handed over to Gu Yuanhe to watch and share. This purple fruit, Qing Shu said that since others don't recognize it, then it can't be eaten by others, which will save unnecessary trouble, and his own people will take it back and eat it.

At the bottom of the slope of the general's tomb, because the officials guarded it, the villagers and the children did not dare to get too close, but stood far away and looked around.

Gu Yuanhe looked over and saw the Lizheng Ancient Big Tree in Xiaogujia Village standing in the crowd, so he let Yuanbao walk over and shouted uncle.

Gu Dashu hurriedly looked him up and down, "Injured like this, why are you still coming out and walking around?" ”

Gu Yuanhe said without hindrance, and summoned Wu Xiaoshan, who was holding the fruit basket, "Uncle, this is what I used when I worshiped the general just now, and you watched it and distributed it to the villagers and children present." There are also two chickens and two fish, and you and the third grandmother's family share one chicken and one fish. ”

Gu Dashu wanted to excuse himself, but Gu Yuanhe didn't let him speak, "Uncle, you have secretly taken care of me all these years, I was worried about causing you trouble, so it was difficult to say it." Now the situation is different, and I'm not afraid to say it. You take it, the young master is still waiting, I have to go. ”

Gu Dashu opened his mouth, did not stop Gu Yuanhe, turned his face to look, and saw the children of the two villages staring at the fruits and chicken and fish in the basket and swallowing their saliva, he sighed.

When the group of people from the ancient mansion went back, it was still the same as when they came, and it was still six officials who opened the way, and Bai Xianfu sat in a sedan chair and followed behind to press the formation.

Returning to the mansion where the plaque of the ancient mansion had been hung, Qing Shu, who was depressed, called the Gu Ye clan who was about to return to his Wenlan Courtyard, "Mother, remember my daughter's words, from today on, my daughter no longer wants to hear those nonsense that endangers the life of the whole mansion." ”

Gu Ye suddenly raised his head and stared at Qing Shu with a look of resentment, "Are you preaching as a mother?" Is this what the daughter said to her mother? How do you know it's gibberish, not facts? ”

Qing Shuhuo approached her, and pointed his index finger at her heart, "Anything that may break my peaceful life with Xiaoyang, in my place, is nonsense. Anyone who hinders me and Xiaoyang from living safely," the fingertips that were on Gu Ye's heart were forced, looking directly into Gu Ye's already panicked eyes, and gently spit out a word, "Die." ”

Gu Ye screamed, hugged his head and stepped back, "You, you ......"

Qing Shu no longer paid attention to her, but called loudly, "Sister Ding, come in." ”

Ding Jiamei, who was waiting outside the door, cautiously pushed open the door and stepped in, "Miss." ”

Qing Shu stared at her with an unpredictable expression, "Who is your master, you keep it in mind for me." Serve the good lady, if there is a rumor that is not favorable to our ancient mansion from Wenlan Courtyard, you don't have to be on an errand in my ancient mansion. ”

Ding Jiamei knelt down in fright and kowtowed, "The slave and maid will serve a good lady, please rest assured." ”

Qing Shu looked at her condescendingly, and instructed lightly, "Madame is tired, help Madame go back to rest." ”

"Yes." Ding Jiamei responded cautiously, got up, and held Gu Ye, who was holding his head and didn't know what he was talking about, went out.

Qing Shu pressed the corner of his forehead, frowned and sat for a while, and finally called Xiaoyu to pass the housekeeper, went out alone, walked slowly, and finally walked to the artificial lake, stepped on the wooden plank bridge on the lake, and walked into the pavilion on the lake
