Chapter 163: Death and Parting
It was already night, and the noise in Bianliang City was endless, but no one noticed that the servants of Marshal Gu's Mansion had quietly procured the funeral belongings.
Gu Mansion.
Gu Jin and Lu Guitang hurriedly said goodbye, and when the girl entered Songling Hall, the rest of the Gu family was already in front of the old lady's bed.
Gu Haomian and Gu Xiang also hurried back a moment ago.
Gu Jin pursed her lips, her breathing was short, her fingers holding the door frame tightened, and then she quickly walked into the back room.
In the house, Gu Jiangyuan and He were sitting in front of Mrs. Gu's bed, Gu Haomian and Gu Xianggong were standing behind their parents, and there was one more person - Chen Xiangsheng was administering needles to Mrs. Gu in front of the bed.
There is a room in the room with the fragrance of medicine, slightly flushing the nose.
The old lady of the Gu family was lying on the bed, her face was pale and her eyes were closed.
Gu Jin didn't say much, only forced himself to stabilize his mind, knelt down in front of Mrs. Gu's bed, fell into the frost and cold, and was sad, and the girl called the night: "Grandmother." ”
This sound startled the four people in front of the bed.
Even though He's mother and daughter have always been at odds with Gu Jin, they all know in their hearts about tonight's events that their grandmother's life is just an instant, and no one speaks at the moment.
Old Lady Gu frowned, as if she heard Gu Jin calling her, she moved her eyelids and opened her eyes, which were already cloudy.
"It's all back."
is only one sentence, but it includes all five children and grandchildren in the house.
Gu Jiangyuan pursed his lips, and felt sad in his heart, he had been away from the dynasty for many years, and he had not been able to serve his mother's bed in person, and now he has returned to the dynasty for less than half a year, and it has reached the time when heaven and man are separated forever.
The lights in the house are bright, like the fire trees and silver flowers in Bianliang City tonight.
But there was a light like a bean, which was flashing faintly beside Gu Jiangyuan, illuminating his reddened eyes.
Seeing this scene, He also had a heart of unbearable heart, she married into the Gu Mansion for many years, and she herself has been flying for many years, but the old lady Gu, who is a mother-in-law, rarely reprimands her.
"Mother, stop talking, and get a good rest."
Old Lady Gu narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to wave her hand, but she couldn't muster her strength.
She sighed: "I have taught you very little except Jin'er, and if I don't say it tonight, I won't be able to say a word." ”
Several people heard the words and felt a "chuckle" in their hearts, although Chen Xiangsheng had already instructed some of them, but they could clearly feel the word "last words", which still made people's hearts sink.
After all, those who run out of oil are their blood relatives.
Gu Haomian tugged Gu Xiang's sleeve, the begonia girl finally didn't have any temper this time, obediently followed Gu Haomian out of the back of the chair, and knelt beside Gu Jin together.
Old Mrs. Gu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know if it was because she saw that Gu Xiang was rarely obedient, or because she saw that everyone in the house had arrived.
I only heard her say: "Your brothers and sisters have grown up now, and I don't have anything to worry about, but I hope you will remember one sentence." ”
"Grandmother, you say, grandson listen." Gu Hao's words.
Old Mrs. Gu grinned at the corners of her mouth, and she could vaguely see the scene of decades ago as yesterday.
"I only let you remember that if you live for a lifetime, you must look up to the sky and bow down to others, as a man, as a daughter."
Gu Haomian nodded again and again, he already knew this truth, but Gu Xiang and Gu Jin's expressions were vaguely stunned.
Look up to the sky, bow down to people, and live a flat life.
It sounds simple, but people can live for a lifetime, and it is not easy to say that it is really to do.
Gu Jin's eyes suddenly flashed with Lu Guitang's expression when he spoke generously in front of her, and his heart suddenly moved: all things are always precious in the heart, if you have a heart, you must be able to do it.
"The granddaughter wrote it down."
Gu Jin opened his mouth lightly, his voice was full of autumn, and he said goodbye.
I thought that after Mrs. Gu had instructed the three brothers and sisters of Gu Haomian, she should also instruct Gu Jiangyuan and his wife.
But I heard her sigh again: "Sincerely." ”
Gu Jin was stunned for a moment and looked up at her.
"Remember your grandmother's words, don't take your word for it."
The girl's heart suddenly froze, and she remembered that many days ago, she spoke in a subtle way and told Mrs. Gu about her life again, when her grandmother told her:
If God has set it for you early in the morning, what is the use of believing it, and if the number of people's lives is not determined, what is the use of believing it.
It turned out that my grandmother knew very well in her heart, and she understood that even if she was dying, she had to tell her these words again.
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, and her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Old Lady Gu watched her children and grandchildren listen to her words, and couldn't help but smile happily, at this moment, it seemed to return to the time when the elegance was peerless.
At that time, the mother of the fresh clothes was angry, and the tiger girl of the gate won the color of the thousand autumns on the horse training field.
Then I met the boy who passed by on a horse, and since then, a heart has secretly promised, and it has become a good story back then.
In this way, after decades of wind and rain, after raising the case and raising eyebrows, or respecting each other like guests, becoming a happy family and enjoying the prosperity of the years.
Now she is alone, and her house is full of children and grandchildren.
……
The eyes of several people in the room suddenly paused, and they saw that the old lady Gu slowly closed her eyes, hiding the legend of her life in the silhouette of time, and no one knew it again.
"Mother!"
Gu Jiangyuan let out a mournful roar, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Gu's bed with He's family, except for the low sobbing sound in the room, everything was silent, but Gu Jin seemed to hear the long ringing of the mourning bell.
This is the first time in her life that she has experienced death.
I didn't expect it to be like this, there was no imaginary heart-rending pain, no imaginary sense of regret, and no pain when I witnessed the disaster of the Gu Mansion being raided and destroyed in my previous life.
But the sadness in her heart was even worse than the moment when Lu Chengxiu strangled herself to death in the previous life.
This death has clearly gone through a lifetime, but how cruel it is to make her sad in a lifetime.
Life and death, after all, the word death is more cruel, after all, there is infinite hope when you are alive, but when you die, you will only be left with eternal silence.
Gu Jin looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the old lady Gu, and remembered her last words in his heart:
Remember, remember your grandmother's words, don't believe your fate.
She prostrated her head, not knowing whether it was her grandmother on the couch or the unknown god in her heart.
If there is really a god, can she also let her grandmother have a new life, she can see the infinite memories of her youth in the eyes of the old lady Gu.
I don't know if it's her grandfather or the time when she was dressed and angry.
After another hour, the jubilant figures in Bianliang City gradually dissipated, leaving only the prosperous and dazzling lanterns on the long street, telling the prosperity and stability of the Shangyuan Festival in the twenty-fourth year of Shunchang.
The Gu Mansion hung layers of white tents, and in the midst of thousands of prosperous lights, one party was alone and parted.
