Chapter 37: The Old Monk Entrusts the Aftermath

Gu Weisheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he listened to the return of Gu Xiangen, the housekeeper of the Western Mansion.

Gu Mengping, how can he be invited, he can be invited by Jiang Sixian? He suspected that Gu Xiangen had heard it wrong, and repeatedly asked for confirmation.

When he heard Gu Xiangen repeatedly say that it was indeed Governor Jiang who came to invite Gu Mengping, Gu Weisheng had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

Where is this son good? Living in Fenglin Temple for more than ten years, in addition to memorizing a few scriptures, he can almost be regarded as illiterate in big characters, just by looking at the fact that he never asked for anything like pen and ink when he lived in the Mohuayuan, he knew that he was not interested in reading.

So, he called the person who came to invite Gu Mengping into the study and asked in person.

Originally, he wanted to say that Gu Mengping was no longer in the mansion, but when he saw Gu Zhongkang passing by the study, the words that came out of his mouth became, "This is my eldest son." With that, he pushed Gu Zhongkang in front of him.

Gu Zhongkang was stunned for a while.

Gu Weisheng continued to talk eloquently, "Needless to say, my eldest son's studies are highly appreciated by the masters in clan studies. Like Tao Fuzi ......" He stopped in embarrassment when he said this, Tao Fuzi and Cheng Fuzi have not returned to the class of clan studies until now, and now the family studies are in a state of semi-suspension.

The person who came to pick up also heard a little different, arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask if this son is a pure son?" ”

Because Gu Mengping did the Dharma for the outer three rooms for a few days, some people in Sui Ping called him the pure son.

"Naturally." Gu Weisheng looked at Gu Zhongkang and turned his head as if nothing had happened.

Gu Zhongkang was stunned again.

……

When Gu Wei rushed over from Dongfu in a hurry, he pointed at Gu Weisheng and was furious.

"Jiang Mansion has different political views from ours, and they have always been-for-tat in the court, if you take the liberty of sending Zhong Kang over to pretend to be Meng Ping, won't they seize the handle and ridicule us?"

Gu Weisheng lifted his robe, put on a more comfortable posture, removed Gu Weiyue's fingers that almost poked him in the face, and said slowly: "That's your business, what does it have to do with me?" You don't want to plan for Zhong Kang, don't I, the father, plan for him? Zhong Kang has a pure heart, and when he goes to Runing Mansion, he will naturally talk to Jiang Zhifu to understand. When the time comes, his good name will spread. He said, holding his head up triumphantly.

Gu Weiyu was almost so angry that he vomited blood, you are a piece of mud when you are a father, what if your son has a good reputation? will only be dragged down by you alive.

Thinking of this, he understood the reason why the master wanted to take Meng Ping away from the West Mansion.

Right now, he also had the idea of taking Zhong Kang away from Xidafu.

But Zhongkang was different from Meng Ping, he had to leave with his sleeves up.

Such a thing, he did not dare to hide from the old monk. The old monk is not an ordinary person, if he knows about it from other channels, it will only do a hundred harms and no benefits.

Rao is an old monk has experienced a hundred years of ups and downs in life, and he is used to seeing all kinds of ruthless battles, but he is still shocked by this incident and can't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "If the father is not kind, can he ask for filial piety to his son?" If there is a cause today, there will be a consequence tomorrow. ”

Gu Weiyue was a little anxious, the old monk said that he obviously didn't want to care, but this matter was related to the reputation of the Gu Mansion......

He also saw that the old monk was only afraid of having a bad friendship with Scholar Jiang, and if he could write a letter to Scholar Jiang, he was afraid that even Master Dong would be able to fish it out.

But his idea was just the beginning, and he was called back by the old monk with the sentence "The old man doesn't know Scholar Jiang".

After Gu Weiyu left, Gu Mengping, who had just returned from Fenglin Temple, came out of the inner room with a faint look of pity.

The old monk beckoned Gu Mengping to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "Idiot, what are you worried about?" ”

Gu Mengping sighed in his heart and said, "Uncle Yue......"

He only said these three words, and the old monk already understood, and patted his hand gently, but did not speak.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was quiet for a while.

But both of them knew in their hearts that the other party was worried about the entire Gu family.

With a family member like Gu Weiyu and a person like Gu Weisheng, the Gu family will only get worse and worse.

After a long time, the old monk said: "After I leave, you send me to the back mountain of Jiming Temple to be buried with the master, and you can settle down in the capital." ”

Although it is said that he is a lowly person who has left his hometown, but Gu Mengping has such a Lao Tzu in Suiping, how can he live comfortably? It's better to go to the capital.

Gu Mengping's expression also darkened.

The old monk didn't say anything to let him take care of the east and west, obviously disappointed in the entire Gu family.

"Vader is a good one, but it's a pity ......" the old monk lowered his eyelids and sighed.

……

When it was getting dark, Gu Zhongkang was sent back. He didn't say anything, just put him outside the gate of Xifu and whipped away.

Gu Zhongkang's face was flushed, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and he stood on the steps of Xifu, unable to lift his feet for a long time.

No matter how pure and virtuous he is, he is still a twelve-year-old child.

Thinking of Jiang Sixian's surprised gaze and the ridicule of Jiang's subordinates, tears flowed out unconsciously.

The carriage that had given him turned a corner and headed south of the city.

After a while, the street door of the outer third room was slammed.

Seeing that a guest was coming, Jia Mu hurriedly stood up from the stone table and took Ying Sleeve to the kitchen to boil water.

The person who came was Jiang Sixian's butler, holding a yellow pear box in his hand, and the next person at the back was carrying a food box.

"This is a few books that our master gave to the pure son." Steward Jiang's face was pale.

Evening is not a good time to visit. But because he had made the mistake in the morning, he had to come now.

Gu Mengping glanced at the old monk and Lao Anren, and when he saw that they were all slightly bowed, he took the gift, "Thank you Taishou." ”

Jiang Guan's parents let out a sigh and took the opportunity to say, "Our master wants to invite the son to come over tomorrow." He looked at the old monk's face, and seeing that he was not dissatisfied, he hurriedly added, "The old man wants to see the homework of the pure son." ”

Jiang Sixian said this, in fact, he already had the intention of treating Gu Mengping as a disciple.

Lao An people don't understand the affairs of the DPRK and China, and when they heard that Jiang Zhifu had the intention of taking care of his grandson, he only had joy in his heart.

Gu Mengping thought a lot, he thought that Scholar Jiang and the old man of Dongfu did not agree politically...... Like a lamp, a monk is like an enemy and a friend...... Why did Governor Jiang invite himself...... He is just the heir of the outer third room, and he will not have any impact on the court situation...... Isn't Jiang Zhifu really in love......

For a moment, his mind was also confused, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the old monk.

The old monk also thought a lot, and after a while, he said: "That's it, in the future, please take care of Taishou more." ”

Steward Jiang agreed when he saw it, with a smile on his face.

Thinking that his grandson was going to Jiang Zhifu's house as a guest, Lao An couldn't help but get nervous. got up and went to the east house, and after a while, he walked out with a purse embroidered with bamboo.

"It's not as good as at home, you have to be rewarded inside and out, you can take these scattered pieces of silver, don't let people look down on you." Lao An said, pinning the purse to Gu Mengping's waist.

Gu Mengping glanced at the old monk first, and when he saw that he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he smiled and let the old man hang his purse.

When he returned to his house, he saw a delicate plum blossom embroidered on the inner wall of the purse, and he knew that this was Jiamu's craftsmanship.

In terms of age, he is naturally older than Jiamu.

Ke Jiamu really treats him as a younger brother, and he even loves Ying Sleeve very much.

For this thought, he was also willing to call her sister sincerely.

He was thinking about it here, and the old monk in the upper room called Lao An to speak.

When he saw the two land deeds brought by the old monk Ling Yijing, Lao Anren's eyelids jumped.

"These are two of my mansions in Beijing, which were originally prepared when I was young, but after the death of my master, I rarely returned to the capital, and the mansion has been deserted......

When Lao An heard this, his face changed inexplicably.

The old monk continued, "After you arrive in the capital, you will go to Chongguo Temple to find the monk Rude, and over the years, he has sent people to take care of the house." ”

After saying these words, the old monk gasped heavily.

It would have been nice if he had taken the child in his youth......

---------

The doctor said that grandpa was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and that tomorrow my mother would return to her hometown, and I would go to pick up the train, and the update time would not be fixed.

I'm sorry for this only one today.
