Chapter 24: His Highness Comes Down (2)
The mourning hall of the Gu family was deserted. Since the third brother returned home, except for Cui Ge Lao who took Cui Xuanjing to offer incense to his father and brother, no one else came to the Gu family to worship.
Gu Qingxuan smiled coldly, sure enough, people's hearts.
After Gu Qingxuan finished the incense, she knelt down and kowtowed three times, she stood up and walked to Miss Gu's side, "Big sister, go back to the room and rest." Here I am. ”
Miss Gu nodded, "Second sister, you look at the ever-bright lamp, this lamp can't be extinguished." ”
Gu Qingxuan said "En", "Big sister, go back and rest." "Now the Gu family is old and sick, and only their sisters are supporting them.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Lin family came.
Gu Qingxuan hurriedly greeted her, and she called in a low voice with red eyes, "Uncle, aunt." ”
Master Lin nodded slightly, "Ah Xuan, you have suffered. Don't be afraid, my uncle and aunt are here. He reached out and gently rubbed the top of her hair, "Your aunt and I will incense your father first." ”
Lord Lin is the elder brother of the Lin family, and is now the governor of Jiangning. After he and his wife heard about the Gu family, they took leave. Running all the way, when he saw that his young niece was helpless, Lord Lin's heart was painful.
After Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin finished offering incense, Gu Qingxuan took them to Mrs. Gu's room.
After Mrs. Gu saw Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin, she couldn't help crying.
"Qingsong, Yan, thank you for coming." Old Madam Gu held Mrs. Lin's hands tightly and said in a choked voice.
Mrs. Lin sniffed, "Old lady, don't be too sad. This Gu family will have to rely on you to support it in the future. After a while, I will go to meet my sister first and enlighten her well. ”
Old Madam Gu nodded, "Good, good, good." ”
Since Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin came to the Gu family, both Old Madam Gu and Gu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how far the Gu family has fallen, at least, her uncle and aunt have never thought of cutting off contact with the Gu family. It is enough to have such a sincerity.
Old Madam Gu did not treat Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin as outsiders. Many of the things at home were handed over to Mrs. Lin, and the outside affairs were handed over to Mrs. Lin.
"Old lady, I asked Qin Tianjian to see it, the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month is a good day. What do you think, old lady? "Although Lord Lin has been away from the capital for a long time, he still has connections, and he still has a way to let Qin Tianjian watch him for a while.
Old Madam Gu nodded, "That's it, I'll ask someone to deliver a message to the queen mother when I go back, and then let Qing Yan go back to the house to send his father and brother." ”
Lord Lin responded, "Old lady, then I'll go and get busy first." You have a good rest. He got up and left.
Gu Sangongzi returned to the house on the afternoon of the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu personally sent him back to the house. His Royal Highness the King of Chu followed Gu Sangongzi into Gu's house, and gave General Gu and the three of them incense before saying goodbye and leaving.
Gu Qingxuan stared at the back of His Royal Highness the King of Chu leaving, and was in a trance.
"Sister, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest, I will keep a vigil for my father and brother here. Gu Sangongzi knelt down beside Gu Qingxuan.
Gu Qingxuan came back to her senses and shook her head gently, "Brother, I'm not tired, you go back and clean up first, you still have a lot to do tomorrow." ”
Gu Sangongzi didn't fight her, nodded, got up and went back to the room.
