Chapter 52: People Know What's Going On
The Sui Ping Gu family is a big family, in addition to the large sect and the east and west mansions, there are still a few rooms and some side branches. They are attached to the big tree in the east and west, and they keep branching and sprouting. There are many people who have no communication for almost their entire lives, except for seeing each other when they open the ancestral hall during the Chinese New Year.
When Gu Mengping arrived in the outer third room, all he knew was a family in the outer ninth room, and the rest of them didn't know each other even if they met. But the outer nine rooms provoked Gu Mengping's anger because of the covetousness of the sleeves. Not only did he lose 50 acres of land in the outer three houses in vain, but he was also spurned in the two alleys.
As a result, the outer nine rooms always want to find an opportunity to move around again with the outer three rooms. But Gu Mengping had already greeted Ning Bo and did not allow anyone from the outer nine rooms to enter the door.
However, on the second day of the sacrificial stove, after Gu Mengping and Gongsun Yuan returned from Dongfu, they saw Cuizhu, the granddaughter of the outer nine rooms, sitting next to Lao Anren.
"What's going on?" Gu Mengping set his eyes on Wang Po.
Wang Po hurriedly stepped forward to attach her ears, and Gu Mengping knew that Lao Anren almost slipped when he went out today, but fortunately, Cuizhu helped him by the side.
"Thanks to your Sister Cuizhu today, otherwise, ......" Lao Anren was a little afraid.
Jia Mu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "It's freezing on the road this day, and I have long advised my grandmother not to go outside. She said, glancing at Cuizhu as well. I am also a little fortunate in my heart, fortunately there are cuizhu today, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.
So, in front of her younger brother and Gongsun Yuan, she praised Cuizhu greatly.
Cuizhu hung her head slightly, smiling sweetly and brightly, as warm as a spring day, and her face flushed when she heard Jiamu praise her.
Gu Mengping looked at her, and felt an indescribable awkwardness in his heart. But because she helped Lao Anren, she saluted her and said, "Thank you!" ”
Cuizhu's face turned even redder, and she returned the half-salute softly and weakly, and shyly hid behind Lao Anren.
Lao Anren liked her even more, patted her hand and said, "It's all your own brothers, you don't have to see outside." Thanks to you today, you can afford this gift from your brother! ”
Cuizhu let out a gnatful "um", looked up in the direction of Gu Mengping, and quickly lowered her head.
Until Gu Mengping and Gongsun were far away from the East House, her eyes still looked at the indigo felt curtain from time to time.
On the second day, Lao Anren asked Gu Mengping to go to the outer nine rooms with a three-color ceremony, saying that he was grateful to Cuizhu. Although Gu Mengping was reluctant to go, he couldn't screw a word of etiquette in the end, so he had to walk to the outer nine rooms.
The people in the outer nine rooms were extremely enthusiastic, and the ninth grandfather Gu Liqing even came out to greet Gu Mengping in person, and his son Gu Weimao even moved a stool for Gu Mengping with a smile.
Wei Maohun's family personally held the tea and sent it to Gu Mengping.
It's a pity that this behavior of the outer nine rooms finally came to naught, Gu Mengping just sat down briefly, and then resigned and went home on the grounds that it was inconvenient to stay outside for a long time.
Even if Grandpa Nine tried his best to keep him from eating in the outer nine rooms, he categorically refused.
Seeing Gu Mengping go out of the door of the outer nine rooms, Wei Maohun's family hurriedly stepped forward and called: "Brother Ping, but I don't know your family's ......."
Gu Mengping didn't have time to reflect, and the words were intercepted by Grandpa Jiu, and he said with a smile: "Now that the weather is cold, and the old sister-in-law is also old, you have to take care of the old sister-in-law when she goes out again in the future." If you really can't spare time...... he pointed to Cuizhu, "let Cuizhu go over and help." ”
"I can't write two Gu characters in one stroke, everyone is a family close to each other." Grandpa Nine said with a smile.
Gu Mengping was a little dazed.
Is this still the outer nine rooms that want to forcibly stuff his grandson into Lao Anren? Is this still the outer nine rooms who know that Gu Mengping has spoken ill of the three rooms to the outside world after inheriting the heir?
He always felt that today's events were weird, but he couldn't say what they were.
After Gu Mengping left, Grandpa Nine glared at Wei Maohun's family, "Long hair, short knowledge!" ”
Wei Maohun didn't dare to speak, and his neck shrunk back.
Gu Weimao saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly followed up with a scolding, "Daddy is very right, you just have long hair and short knowledge." This kind of good thing to marry children has always been the order of parents and the words of matchmaking. What does a little doll know about him? You don't want to spoil Cuizhu's good deeds because of a quick mouth! ”
"Me? Isn't I in a hurry......" Wei Maohun said with a smile on his face.
"Humph!" Grandpa Nine snorted and flicked his sleeves into the house.
……
After arriving home, Gu Mengping was invited to the upper room by Yijing.
The old monk looked at him with a kind face, and smiled lightly, "What have you learned in Dongfu these days?" ”
Seeing that the old monk cared about his homework, Gu Mengping was overjoyed and surprised, and hurriedly replied: "Uncle Yue said that Brother Boyo has a rigid personality, so he asked him to read the "New Book" to learn to practice benevolence and righteousness, and to be a saint first; said that the distant brother is kind and welcome, and he should read "Zhongshuo...... said that he is pure, down-to-earth and humble, loyal and diligent and thrifty, and can read "Xunzi" to know the good and evil of people......"
The old monk couldn't help but bow his head, this is the Confucian teaching according to his aptitude, Gu Mengping's personality is indeed a little lazy and depressed, if he doesn't use external things to motivate him, he is not willing to study hard at all.
Gu Weiyue can see this, and it is really not easy.
The old monk recited the Buddha's name, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is very good, even if I teach, it's just that." At this point, he paused, "But you must not be lazy because of this." Although your uncle teaches well, he is only your uncle, and you need to find a mentor. ”
Hearing the old monk say this, Gu Mengping's eyes couldn't help but see the shadows of Jiang Sixian and Tang Yunwen, and he nodded heavily, "Master sees the teaching, and Qingjing also thinks so." ”
Seeing Gu Mengping's confident look, the old monk bowed slightly, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "By the way, the more you uncle, said that Gongsun Yuan is kind and welcome, and he responds to things peacefully?" Did he really say that? ”
Gu Mengping's expression remained unchanged, but he nodded.
The old monk laughed, "I've been living for decades......"
Gu Mengping sighed in his heart, even if he had lived two lifetimes and had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he might not have seen much and farthest as an old monk.
If the old monk can say this, he must have seen who Gongsun Yuan is.
"Master, distant brother, he ......" Gu Mengping adjusted his sitting posture, and his expression was faintly nervous. Although the officialdom in the previous life was sinister, there was no fear of life. No matter how hard you fight, there will always be room for it. But now, as long as he doesn't pay attention to it, he will destroy his family, how can it not make him nervous?
As soon as he thought of Gongsun Yuan's identity, he felt as if there were several buckets in his heart.
When the old monk saw it, he comforted him: "Have a normal heart and do ordinary things, why do you need to worry?" Seeing that Gu Mengping was still worried, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he said with a smile, "I should be a real person, how can I be afraid of wolves and tigers?" You are not afraid of falling into the name of the grandfather. ”
Should it be true? Gu Mengping's eyes widened slowly, and his expression became solemn.
