Chapter 25: The Wake
"Let me tell you, the master is the young master of this country's mansion, you dare to do this to the master, you ......"
"Smack!"
A loud slap sounded instantly, but it was Gu Wushuang who ignored the presence of outsiders, and stepped forward and slapped Xu Kangan fiercely.
"You dare to hit me?" Xu Kangan covered his face and was secretly shocked: "You dare to fight ......"
"Smack!"
"It's not like I've beaten you this time or twice!"
Gu Wushuang's face was as heavy as iron, and before Xu Kangan finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped him again.
Then, just as he was about to speak, he saw Aunt Cui get up and pounce suddenly.
"Young lady!"
Aunt Cui's eyes were full of resentment, and she raised her hand to protect Xu Kang'an behind her: "How can you say that Kang'er is also the young master of the house, will you go too far!" ”
"Aunt Cui, I respect you because you are a person in your father-in-law's room!" Gu Wushuang's face was completely cold, and the eyes that looked at Aunt Cui were no longer polite.
"So I advise you to keep this in mind as well, otherwise if you are taught a lesson one day, don't blame me, the master, for not giving you face!"
"You!"
Aunt Cui was angry, but Gu Wushuang really didn't give half of her face anymore, and asked Mama Zheng to send her back in front of her.
"Gu Wushuang, don't be too ......"
Seeing that the biggest reliance was kidnapped by Gu Wushuang, Xu Kangan couldn't help but turn pale suddenly.
Just halfway through his words, he saw that Gu Wushuang's face instantly became colder and colder, and he couldn't help but subconsciously retract his voice.
"Old Chen, I'll leave the rest to you." Gu Wushuang glanced at Xu Kang'an, and then turned his eyes to Lao Chen.
Lao Chen nodded, sighed secretly, and then directly dragged Xu Kangan to leave first.
And after Xu Kangan left, Gu Wushuang had the opportunity to return to the hall, and then owed to Helian Yan, who had not yet left: "I told you to see the joke." ”
Helian Yan didn't say anything, just shook her head silently, and then stared at Gu Wushuang again and took her head directly.
Although Xu Ge Lao has gradually faded out of the cabinet after the new emperor ascended the throne, the death of Xu Ge Lao is still a big blow to the Xu family.
Especially Ning's ...... In his selfish heart, what worries Gu Wushuang the most is still the Ning family.
"I knew there would be such a day."
In the inner room, Ning was still sitting in front of Xu Ge's bed.
"Every time I think about it before, I always feel heartache in my heart."
Ning lowered his eyes, his expression sad and wooden: "But now that it's really this day, it doesn't seem to hurt much." ”
"Let's get ready for burial."
Gu Wushuang didn't know what to say, he just held Ning's hand tightly.
Ning nodded, and then glanced at Xu Ge Lao on the couch again, and then reluctantly let him go, and then slowly got up with Gu Wushuang's support.
Then, just as he was about to stand still, it suddenly went completely dark in front of him.
"Mother!"
Gu Wushuang was shocked, and couldn't help but immediately support Ning's other arm from behind, and then directly pressed the weight of her whole person on herself.
Then he was about to speak, when he saw that Ning had already eased up.
"I ...... It's okay. Ning Shi spoke in a hoarse voice, paused, and directly relied on Gu Wushuang's strength to regain his footing: "It's just that I'm in a hurry." ”
"Let's take a break." Gu Wushuang nodded, paused, as if he was afraid of Ning's refusal, and couldn't help but add another sentence immediately, and said, "There may be guests who come to the door to offer condolences later, so you have to take care of your spirits first, understand?" ”
As he spoke, Gu Wushuang grabbed Ning's arm tightly and squeezed it hard.
She was really afraid, afraid that the Ning family would collapse directly because she was too sad like the Zhou family did at the beginning.
"Don't worry, I'll just take it easy." Ning replied seriously: "You can also go down and prepare first, and ...... later." Look at the arrangement. ”
"Hmm." Gu Wushuang nodded, knowing that the Ning clan was asking him to preside over the funeral.
After a pause, seeing that the Ning clan was indeed fine, Gu Wushuang called someone else to come in to serve, and then he went down to prepare first.
According to the rules, after the death of the doctor, he had to stop for seven days before mourning.
And Xu Mengxian was too young, so Gu Wushuang was not really strict, and he lay down on the straw mat next to him after three watches every day.
It's just that even so, Xu Mengxian still fell ill.
And in addition to Xu Mengxian, Xu Kangan also made trouble.
However, it was not because of illness, but on the last day of the vigil, Xu Kangan was drunk directly in the mourning hall.
The Ning family was so angry that she couldn't speak on the spot when she got the news, and although Aunt Cui wanted to defend it, she could raise her eyes and see Gu Wushuang's expression, but she didn't dare to really squeak.
"Go get a bucket of water."
Gu Wushuang commanded Lao Chen with a cold face, and then knelt down directly in front of the spirit again.
Old Chen Yuan knelt by the door, and immediately responded when he heard the sound, and then got up and went out to fetch water.
Then, without Gu Wushuang's orders, he directly poured all his head on Xu Kangan.
The weather in October, although it was not too cold, was still a little cool at night, plus the well water was cold, and there was some wind tonight, so after a while, Xu Kangan immediately woke up.
"Who, who!"
Xu Kangan shook the water beads on his body indiscriminately, and only shouted for a long time and the five of them paid attention.
Even Lao Chen, after seeing that he was awake, immediately threw the bucket and returned to the spirit.
"Kang'er ......"
Aunt Cui was secretly distressed, but she also knew that this matter was indeed Xu Kangan's fault, so she didn't dare to really say anything, she only secretly measured Ning and Gu Wushuang's eyes, and then secretly glanced at Xu Kang'an, who was still stunned outside: "Come in quickly, kowtow to your father and make a ......."
As she spoke, Aunt Cui glanced at Gu Wushuang again.
But Gu Wushuang didn't know it, he just added a handful of paper money and raised his hand to poke down on Xu Mengxian's forehead: "Are you sleepy?" ”
Xu Mengxian was a little hot during the day, and although he had retreated now, Gu Wushuang was a little worried that he would not be able to hold on.
"Not sleepy." Xu Meng shook his head idly, followed by the firelight and secretly measured the Ning clan on the side, and then carefully moved a little towards Gu Wushuang, and whispered, "Why are we kneeling here?" ”
"Huh?" Gu Wushuang was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still touched Xu Mengxian's head and replied seriously: "Because my grandfather is gone, we have to send him on his last journey." ”
"And how long are we going to kneel?"
Xu Mengxian didn't really understand it, but he still understood the word "send".
It's just that what he doesn't understand is why this "send" lasts so long.
"Today is the last day." Gu Wushuang said softly.
"It's the last day." Xu Mengxian was a little surprised: "Then I won't sleep today, I'll accompany my mother and grandmother to send my grandfather on the last journey." ”
As he spoke, Xu Mengxian also followed Gu Wushuang's example and added a handful of paper money to the brazier.
Ning Shi watched from the side, and couldn't help but instantly redden.
