Chapter 583: Mourning
"Ahem! In fact, I was dissatisfied, and I only had the appearance of half a bottle. "How can a bottle of powder be stuffed? Otherwise, when the cork is uncorked, it will be too full and easy to spill.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Send off!" ”
He had confirmed his thoughts, and the two of them no longer mattered.
When he got out of the room, Ming Mo raised the sword in his hand and sneered at the two.
"Remember what my family said, otherwise it's just a trivial matter to clean you up."
The two of them hurriedly said: "You must keep in mind the words of the adults, we don't dare to say much outside." ”
Mingmo looked at the two of them with satisfaction, and then gave them twenty taels of silver.
"Take it!" This is hush money, which Gu Chengyu had ordered before.
The two of them were very surprised to see that there was still silver, but they didn't dare to ask more, and one took ten taels.
There was no matter of carrying them back with the carriage, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard at the gate that had just been opened.
"Uncle, my father's clothes have been changed!" San Lang came out of the house and said to Gu Chengyu.
"Daddy! After all, the cause of the second brother's death is not very decent, and when relatives and friends come, we will only announce that he died violently, do you think it is feasible? ”
Gu Chengyu remembered that he hadn't discussed this matter with Father Gu and them, but he believed that Uncle Gu and Father Gu would agree.
Daddy Gu closed his eyes, "Cheng!" Do as you say! ”
Erlang walked into the courtyard, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, just now Gu Chengyu let his subordinates slap him twice, could it be that he was beaten in vain?
Besides, he didn't know anything about his father, how could he believe Gu Chengyu's one-sided words?
Who knows if his father took the medicine himself, or if someone else poured it?
His father has always been unpleasant to Gu Chengyu, why did his father die as soon as Gu Chengyu came back? There's definitely something strange about it.
But the people of the Gu family are all towards Gu Chengyu, and if he raises objections, the Gu family will not listen to him.
Besides, if this matter is really big, then his imperial examination career will also be affected.
When he became an official in the future, others talked about his family background, and only said that his father went to overtake the medicine of the tiger and wolf in order to upside down with the concubine, how disgraceful is this?
But is that the end of it? His father died in vain? When his father is buried, he will not pay attention to him if he has any opinions.
Erlang set his eyes on Gu Chengyu, thinking about how he could get some benefits from this matter.
Although he refused to admit it, Gu Chengyu was indeed capable. Now that Gu Chengyu has become an official, he can always get some benefits by leaning on it.
If this matter is handled well, it is much better to let Gu Chengyu recommend him to study in the country in the future than to stay in the county seat, right?
The master said that he is not bad at learning, as long as he is down-to-earth and puts his mind on his career, it will be a matter of time before he is admitted to Xiucai.
In fact, the master is still very optimistic about him, and this time he passed the government exam, and the master was also relieved about his daughter's family affairs.
It means that as long as he is admitted to Xiucai, it is not impossible to marry his daughter.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect his father to die at this juncture.
This time he wasted an opportunity, he had to wait another three years, and Erlang was bored when he thought of this.
It seems that the master's daughter is something that Xiao can't think of, which is really regrettable. He had seen the girl once, and she was so good-looking.
Within an hour, the Gu family's mourning hall was propped up.
The news of Gu Chengyi's violent death made everyone who knew him stunned when they heard it, they didn't expect Gu Chengyi to die so suddenly.
"Third brother! You have to mourn and change! At this moment, Gu Changbai could understand Daddy Gu's feelings.
Back then, he was also like this white-haired man to send black-haired people, his old bones were still alive, but his young son went early.
Father Gu wiped the tears on his face, the second child was indeed not good to him when he was alive, and he also had a little disgust for this son.
But people die like lights go out, and the grievances and grievances of the past have dissipated with the passing of the second child.
Because Brother Chang is still young, he can't do without the care of his mother, and Brother Chang was crying and calling his mother just now.
Gu Chengyu felt that as Gu Chengyi's concubine, if Wang Yueniang and the Li family were not allowed to appear, it would be unreasonable.
Therefore, he asked Qingxia and Caiyun to look at Wang Yueniang and Li respectively, so that he was not afraid that they would run away.
As for Wang, she is a dispensable character, and by the way, she gave Wang freedom and no one was looking at her.
Wang and Gu Chengyi are not married, so they naturally can't be regarded as Gu family. Whether to go or stay at this time, no one cares at all.
If the Wang family ran back to his parents' house, it would save the Gu family from having to deal with the mess left by Gu Chengyi.
But is it possible for Wang to just go back? Of course not.
She gave her innocent body to Gu Chengyi, and now Gu Chengyi is driving west, leaving her uncared for, and she can't plan for the future?
However, the Wang family also knew each other, and they didn't hang around in the Gu family.
Soon, the women of the clan tore the white cloth and made mourning clothes for the Gu family.
Gu Chengyi is his brother, and Gu Chengyu only needs to take great credit.
The mourning period is nine months, and the Dayan Dynasty is not so strict about mourning for his brother, and Gu Chengyu is still an official after returning to the capital.
It's just that you need to pay attention to your diet, and you still need to be vegetarian.
Of course, no one will be so serious, it depends on whether the individual is sincere or not.
The mourning for parents or grandparents is very strict, with three years of filial piety for parents and one year for grandparents.
During this period, even if he was an official in the court, he had to worry. Unless the emperor wins the favor, he will have to wait for the expiration of the period and then wait for the ministry to rearrange the position.
It's just that the original position has already been topped, and it is not easy to find a suitable position.
Therefore, what the officials are most afraid of is Ding Wei, those elders in the family, as long as they are a little uncomfortable, the younger generations in the family will be eager to invite Lang Zhong or even the imperial doctor.
Of course, filial piety must exist, but it is also true that I am afraid of Ding Wei.
Erlang and they changed into filial piety clothes, and they all knelt in the mourning hall to burn paper, and even Brother Chang, who was only more than three years old, knelt in the mourning hall.
Erlang glanced at Wang Yueniang and Brother Chang who were kneeling on the side, and couldn't help but turn his mind to the silver coin.
His father left more than 2,000 taels of silver, and if he gave it to his three sons, how much would he get? The left is only about eight hundred taels.
Even if he is the eldest son of the second room, it will only be more than a thousand taels at most.
In the future, the dividends of soap every year will be divided into three parts in the second room.
This can't be done! The further you go, the more you spend on reading, the more you spend on it.
The personal exchanges between classmates are not a small amount, and the annual pen, ink, paper, inkstone, bundles, and silver to buy books are a large amount of expenses.
Erlang suddenly thought that when Gu Chengyu was studying before, the Gu family used it first for him.
Now San Lang is no longer studying, and Brother Chang is still young, only he is still studying. In any case, this silver should allow itself to be a little more.
