Chapter 41: The Old Monk Talks about the Ancients
Xifu, Nongqingtang.
Old Ancestor Yang sat on the Luohan couch near the window, and was a little incoherent with anger, "You actually dare to go to Runing Mansion to find Jiang Taishou?" How dare you? Who gave you such guts? ”
Gu Weisheng stood in front of her, his hands drooping, and an embarrassed smile on his face, "Didn't I think that if I could help Second Master Fan, I would help?" ”
"Whew!" Yang smacked him hard, "Like your colorless Lao Tzu, what is in your head?" Is it paste? So what is there for Second Master Fan to beg Jiang Taishou? ”
Hearing his grandmother talk about the second master of the Fan family, Gu Weisheng's face was a little difficult to look at, "Grandmother said that I would do it, why bother to talk about the second master of the Fan family?" People's hearts are flesh and blood, and I am also a person with a son, how can I see Fan Chun in prison and ignore it? ”
Yang was angry at his words.
She has never liked Xie very much, but she has the same position as Xie in this matter, and Gu Weisheng can't go to Jiang Sixian no matter what. Assaulting a teacher is a serious crime. The Fan family is involved in this matter, and they will be discredited in Shilin in the future.
The Gu family couldn't intercede for the Fan family no matter what, and even had to pretend that they didn't know the Fan family.
But Gu Weisheng was good, not only did he go to intercede, but people didn't even see him.
Shame on people and throw them into Runing Mansion......
The Yang family in Xifu is training people, and Gu Mengping has returned to the outer third room from Dazong.
The old monk listened to him talk about Gu Weisheng's matter, and his face showed a strange expression.
"If you have nothing to do in the future, don't go to Xifu." After the old monk said this, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Hearing that he didn't want to talk about the affairs of Xifu, Gu Mengping stopped talking, sat next to the old monk and read the book.
In a flash, three days passed.
Gu Weide came to the door in person.
"Those two people found it, and sure enough, they were kidnappers." Gu Weide handed a confession to Gu Mengping.
Gu Mengping opened it and looked at it, with anger on his face, and asked, "What are these two Uncle De going to do?" ”
Gu Weide glanced at him, and when he saw that although he was angry, he didn't mention the outer nine rooms written in the confession, and couldn't help but secretly admire. After thinking for a while, he said: "It is really intolerable for the outer nine rooms to do such a thing. It's just a matter of the reputation of the whole clan, and it can't be dealt with clearly in the end. How about I negotiate privately with the outer nine houses and ask them to pay you 50 acres of land? ”
"As for those two, I'll find a reason to send them to prison, and I'll send them into exile in the future. What do you think? ”
Gu Weide's eyes flickered, staring at Gu Mengping tightly.
Gu Mengping sighed in his heart, if he was in the society of the later generations, he could naturally use thunder methods to deal with the outer nine rooms. But now he and the outer nine rooms are of the same clan and the same clan, if the orphan girl is known to outsiders for the sake of Ying sleeve, the orphan girl dealing with the outer nine rooms, of course, they will say that the outer nine rooms are not, but they will also accuse him of not having a clan in his heart.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he knew that Gu Weide's handling method was excellent in the current situation.
Since there is already a tiger and wolf heart in the outer nine rooms, it is necessary to guard against it in the future.
"Have you found out, why do they have crooked thoughts about Yingsleeve?" Gu Mengping didn't answer positively and talked about other topics.
Although the confession said that they were sent by the outer nine chambers, it did not say why.
Presumably, this confession is a sample that Gu Weide is going to send to the government for use.
Gu Weide raised his eyes and looked at him, folded the confession carefully and stuffed it into his sleeve, and said leisurely: "For money." ”
Gu Mengping was a little confused when he heard this, "What's the matter with Yingsleeve?" ”
"Wei Mao, the son of Wai Jiufang, is addicted to gambling, but he loses more and wins less, and his family has been about to go bankrupt over the years. Seeing that the days of the outer nine rooms have become more and more difficult over the years, Gu Weimao came up with the idea of his own son Gu Houbin......" Gu Weide said slowly.
Only then did Gu Mengping understand that it turned out that he wanted silver for Gu Houbin to inherit the heir to the outer third room before he inherited the heir, and he not only wanted silver, but also a large sum.
Thinking that the people in the outer nine rooms were actually able to sell their sons, it was not difficult to imagine what they would think when they saw the beautiful Ying Sleeve.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered his own Lao Tzu.
Was he also sold by Gu Weisheng?
When I thought that I was a dignified man, I was actually sold around as a commodity, and my heart was filled with disgust for Xifu.
His eyes suddenly turned cold.
But there are some things that he can't tell others clearly, and Lao Anren doesn't know the idea of someone outside to make a sleeve, so he has to bury it in his heart.
secretly instructed Ning Bo not to let the people from the outer nine rooms enter the door if he had nothing to do.
Ning Bo often guards the door, and he has long known about the abduction, and when he heard that the matter of Yingsleeve may be related to the outer nine rooms, he nodded busily.
Only then did Gu Mengping put his mind at ease.
Four o'clock iteration, time is like a shuttle, and the end of autumn has arrived in an instant.
On this day, the rain was like a waterfall, and the wind was solemn, whirring and rolling into the window edge, blowing the oil lamp in the upper room to the side.
Gu Mengping sat beside the old monk and looked at him worriedly.
The old monk now has very prominent cheekbones, his face is also a little yellow, he has to gasp for a long time when he says a word, and his chest is also very stuffy, and he often says that he can't cough up phlegm.
Gu Mengping knew that this was a manifestation of the slow failure of the organs in his body.
This is aging, and there is no way to treat it even in the afterlife.
He could only watch as the old monk walked towards the grave step by step.
Lao An has prepared a shroud for the old monk......
He hung his head, tears welling up in his eyes.
The old monk looked at him compassionately, and his hand full of age spots touched the top of his head, "Idiot, my life has been wonderful. witnessed the change of emperors and the rise and fall of dynasties. He also used his life to save people. The country is a great country, where have I not gone? The scenery of the world is in my mind. The old monk pointed to his forehead, and a layer of pride appeared on his face.
Gu Mengping was extremely sad when he heard it.
The old monk smiled slowly, "The most wonderful thing in my life is to see my master Hui Guangshi leading Gu Xi to Taizu's command...... Gu Xi has a stoic personality and is cautious, Taizu likes such people......"
Hearing the old monk talk about the ancients, Gu Mengping's body trembled like a sifting chaff.
"My poor child," the old monk took Gu Mengping's hand again, "You have a bad fate, your father and mother don't hurt, I don't know what dangers you will encounter in the future...... I just hate that I can't be a few years younger, and I can't shelter you from the wind and rain anymore......"
Gu Mengping's face finally changed, and he burst into tears.
The old man in the next room was sitting next to Jia Mu and Yingsleeve to collect the soles of his shoes, and he was startled when he heard the cry, and his finger was stabbed with a thimble and a ball of blood.
She didn't care about wiping it, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and walked out of the window of the upper room to listen carefully.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Yijing and Wang Po Ning standing under the eaves with solemn faces, looking nervously in the direction of the upper room.
In the upper room, Gu Mengping's crying gradually lowered.
He wiped his tears and choked up: "I heard that Zhang Xubai Daochang of Xuanmiaoguan is good at turning talismans to save people, and he has the ability of immortals. ”
Hearing him mention Zhang Xubai, the old monk laughed 'poof', "Idiot, that Beidou star ** is just a fool of an ignorant stupid woman." If this life can be borrowed and continued, the old monk's master has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, why did he die early? ”
But I borrowed someone else's life...... I am the one who borrowed my life...... Gu Mengping raised his head, ready to be revealed.
The old monk seemed to see through his meaning, patted his hand, and said in a soft tone, "Good boy, don't be paranoid." In this world, there is a destiny for life and death, a flower and a leaf become a world of its own, you are you, others are others, and they are different in the end. ”
Gu Mengping looked at him in a daze and opened his mouth slightly.
Outside the upper room, someone knocked lightly on the door, and Lao Anren's voice sounded outside, "Master, someone from Xifu came over, saying that the old lady of Xifu sent someone from Beijing to see Brother Ping." ”
Lao Anren's voice was filled with trepidation and hesitation, obviously still a little scared of the name Gu Lixian.
The old monk motioned for Gu Mengping to open the door......

PS: It's a change today, and I can't make up for yesterday's death. I've been tired for a few days and I'm tired of catching a cold, and today I can't lift my head in a dizzy way, and it's useless to take cold medicine.
