Chapter 49: Bad News

Sun Shao sat in the study, holding a Jane in one hand and a pen in the other, and there were words in his mouth: "Zi said, only women and villains are difficult to raise......"

Qiao Yue sat on the side grinding ink with a displeased face, and muttered in her mouth: "What kind of saint is this, isn't he born by his parents, and he actually says this about us women." ”

Sun Shao chattered and smiled, and tapped the tip of Qiao Yue's upturned nose with a brush: "Xiao Yue'er, you slander the saint, be careful that your aunt hears it and beats your ass." ”

Although Qiao Ying was strict, Qiao Yue knew that Sun Shao was joking with her, and she wouldn't really tell Qiao Ying, so she was not afraid, so she pouted and said, "What I said is right, why do you want to beat me." These stinky men, with filial piety on their lips every day, but they put their own aunt and villain side by side, hypocrites, I'm phew! Alas, young master, why do you paint on my face, what if you can't wash it off......"

Qiao Yue looked at the ink on her fingertips, stomped her feet angrily, threw down the grinding stone, and ran away with her waist twisted.

Sun Shao laughed for a while, lowered his head and continued to write, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Sun Shao didn't raise his head, and asked casually, "Washed so quickly?" ”

"What was washed?" Shuai Zeng, who had just entered the door, asked in surprise.

"Huh? It's you. Sun Shao raised his head unexpectedly, and saw Shuai Zeng holding a piece of bamboo slip in his hand, standing at the door inexplicably: "What's the matter?" ”

"The Zhang family's family advocates Wen to visit." Shuai Zeng handed the bamboo slip to Sun Shao, Sun Shao glanced at it, and saw that it read: "Zhang Wen of Wujun, ask about life, the word is forgiven." He hurriedly put down his pen, stood up and went out.

Zhang Wen arched his hands, bowed his waist slightly, and looked a little similar to the saint picture of later generations, when he saw Sun Shao come out with a smile on his face, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Excuse me Sun Jun." ”

Sun Shao didn't look like a disciple of the Holy Gate, he returned the salute so-so, and then affectionately pulled Zhang Wen's sleeve and walked in, although Zhang Wen was a little unaccustomed to his affectionate posture, but he didn't shirk, followed Sun Shao into the door, and sat down in the hall, Sun Shao arranged for people to serve tea, and said with a smile: "After the last meeting, I visited the door several times, Brother Huishu has been very busy, and I didn't have a chance to see him, what kind of wind blew Brother Huishu here today?" ”

Zhang Wen smiled faintly, after the last meeting, he was interested in getting along with Sun Shao, but he didn't take the initiative to come to the door, but sent his younger brother Zhang Yi to come twice, and when Sun Shao came to visit back, he deliberately avoided it, for this effect. He smiled apologetically: "It's really unfortunate that the young master came to the cold house twice, and I was entangled in mundane affairs, and I couldn't meet the young master again, and I am also very sorry." No, this time I came to visit with a cheeky face, just hoping to go to Jianye with the young master, and discuss with each other along the way, solve the loneliness of the journey, and gain something. I don't know if the young master can bow down? ”

"Go to Jianye?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing in Jianye?" Brother Huishu is coming out? That's a great way to congratulate. ”

Zhang Wen was also stunned: "Don't you know, young master?" Gu Junxiao died. ”

Gu Shao is dead? Sun Shao was really taken aback this time, Gu Shao is only thirty-two years old this year, how could he die? Could it be that there is a war in Yuzhang? He was stunned for a long time, shook his head and said, "I haven't gotten the news yet, presumably the mourner is still on the way, where did Brother Huishu get the news?" ”

Zhang Wen nodded: "My family has children who are doing business in Yuzhang, I heard that Gu Jun is not in good health some time ago, and I just received news yesterday that Gu Jun died in Yuzhang five days ago, and now he is about to return to Jianye for mourning." According to the distance, the mourners will probably be able to arrive in Wu County today or tomorrow. I thought that the young master was Gu Jun's brother-in-law and had to go to Jianye, so I rushed to meet him. ”

"Alas, my bitter sister." Sun Shao sighed and shook his head again and again. His eldest sister Sun Yuanying is only two years younger than Daqiao, married Gu Shao at the age of fourteen, and now he is only twenty-nine years old, five years ago, the twenty-seven-year-old Gu Shao started as Yuzhang Taishou, and his performance has been good in the past few years, and he thought that this was the time for him to show his ambitions, who would have thought that he would die.

"It's not just the misfortune of the young master's eldest sister, Gu Gong must be very sad." Zhang Wen also sighed, looking quite unbearable.

Gu Yong is also a native of Wu County, Zhang Wen's father's generation of celebrities, and was appreciated by the famous Cai Yong back then, saying that he will become famous in the future. But Gu Yong's luck seems to be a little back. As one of the four surnames of Wu, he has been taking refuge in Sun Quan for more than ten years, and now he is just a Zuo Sima, and it doesn't seem to be as smooth sailing as Cai Yong expected. He married Lu Ji's sister and gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Gu Shao, the second son Gu Yu, Gu Yu was born frail and sickly, and a son died before he was one year old, only Gu Shao can be counted on, but now Gu Shao is dead, and the blow to Gu Yong, who is nearly fifty years old, can be described as extremely heavy.

"Yes, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is good and sad." Sun Shao smiled bitterly, and the two sat silently opposite each other, neither of them wanted to speak, and the tea in their mouths was no longer tasteful.

In the evening, the people who reported the funeral from the Gu Mansion rushed to Wu County, and Sun Shao got the accurate news, so he went to the bridge to report it. When Ohashi heard this, he also sighed silently. She did not have a good relationship with Sun Yuanying, when she entered the Sun Mansion, Sun Yuanying was already eleven years old, and she always thought that her entry into the Mansion caused the death of their biological mother Lu, and she was very hostile to her. After marrying into the Gu Mansion for so many years, Sun Yuanying never went back to the house to visit relatives, even when she was still in Wu County a few years ago, she didn't go back to the house during the New Year's holidays, and she missed Sun Shao, so she sent someone to take Sun Shao over to live for a few days, anyway, she resolutely did not meet with the bridge.

Daqiao is not hostile to Sun Yuanying, she can understand Sun Yuanying's pain of losing her mother, but this is not something she can control, she has not seen each other for more than ten years, and it slowly faded. Now that she heard the news of Gu Shao's death and looked at Sun Shao's sad face, the image of a young girl with resentment in her eyes slowly emerged in her mind, but her face was blurry and not very clear.

"Then you should clean up quickly." Ohashi sighed.

"Whoa." Sun Shao responded and slowly retreated. packed up overnight, and early the next morning, he took Shuai Zeng and others on the road. Outside the gate, he saw Zhang Wen who was waiting for him, and couldn't help but be taken aback, Zhang Wen gathered at least hundreds of people around him, not only most of the literati and scholars who participated in the tour last time were among them, but also many more fresh faces, one by one, like a mourner, not smiling.

Seeing Sun Shao get out of the car, Zhang Wen hurriedly greeted him and said: "Young master, I will introduce you to you, these are all characters who are good with Gu Jun, I heard that Gu Jun abandoned the world and made an appointment to go to mourn, in the next few days, we may have to advance and retreat together." ”

Sun Shao's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen's use of the word "advance and retreat" sounds like it has another meaning, it is not as simple as rushing together, could it be that he has other purposes? He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show his face, bowed down and said, "There is Brother Lao Hui." ”

Zhang Wen saw that Sun Shao's face was expressionless, and he didn't know if he understood or didn't understand at all, and he couldn't say it too clearly for a while, so he had to use the words to say: "This is Wuxian Bujun, quiet, the word Xuanfeng, this is Qian Tang Dingjun, the word is secret, the word Yuan Ming ......"

With Zhang Wen's introduction, Sun Shao once again appreciated Gu Shao's bullish spirit, among the more than 100 people, most of them have received Gu Shao's favor, this favor may not be that Gu Shao has funded their property, but more because Gu Shao has promoted them as a celebrity, like the tall and strong Ding Zhen, who was originally a servant of Qian Tang, and the taciturn Wu Cang, who was originally a lonely portal of Wucheng, they were all selected by Gu Shao and then introduced into Shilin.
