Xu's mother took the funeral book to Daxing Gu's house in the evening.

After the second lady met Xu's mother, she went to find Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai was on the bed of Luohan, and her mother-in-law was serving and drinking a cup of Tianma and duck soup.

After listening to the words of the second lady, she sighed: "Back then, the fourth child was clamoring to marry her, and he did not hesitate to break with us, but now she has passed away...... Who sent for you? ”

At that time, the Ji family's financial resources and prestige were far inferior to today's, and they were a businessman, and the Gu family had been scholarly for generations, how could they agree to have a relationship with the Ji family. Even now, no one in Yanjing dares to underestimate the Ji family, and they are also disdainful.

The second lady replied respectfully: "It's Sister Chao, who said that she asked me to preside over the funeral." ”

Mrs. Tai asked, "Why do you want to go, don't they have an aunt made by the concubine of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple?" ”

The second lady thought for a while before saying, "The daughter-in-law estimates that Ji's death is related to this aunt, and I'm afraid she can't start......"

Mrs. Tai pondered for a long time before she said, "It's inconvenient for me to go, so it's better for you to go." Go and say to the fifth and fifth daughter-in-law, and let them go to condolence...... It's been so many years of grievances, and no matter how it is, it has to be resolved. ”

The second lady should have gone to the courtyard of the fifth lady. After hearing this, the fifth lady thought about it and went to the study to find Gu Wuye.

Ye Liang was watching him carve walnuts in Gu Wuye's study, a half-pointed knife, Gu Wuye made him flexible.

Ye Liang sat on the bookcase and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, your knife is not easy to use." ”

Gu Wuye carved walnuts that is a must, what Su Dongpo carved boating, even the couplets on the boat 'the mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water falls out' are clear, and this knife is also his favorite. So he raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not good, how do you want to change it?" ”

Ye Liang stretched out two plain white fingers, which were longer than a section: "The blade of the knife makes such an arc, it is better to use force." In fact, it is best to kill people, the tip of the knife is longer, and it can't contain the momentum when it enters the bone, and it can cut people in half. ”

Gu Wuye's hairs stood on end when he heard this: "Where did you know?" ”

Ye Liang replied: "The master who originally taught me had a man who liked weapons, and now he is working as a thousand households in Sichuan. ”

Gu Wuye knew that Ye Liang had some subordinates, and these people were chattering inexplicably.

For example, one of the guards who followed Ye Liang often had a strange crossbow hanging from his waist, and once he wanted to take it to see, the man smiled roughly and said to him: "Fifth master, don't move, you won't make it, be careful that it dresses you into a sieve." ”

Gu Wuye inevitably slandered when he heard it, you carry it every day, why didn't you see it dressing you into a sieve?

Later, he once saw Ye Liang dismantling the thing, and there were countless steel needles more than four inches long and cold light side by side. Ye was trimming it, and shot through a bowl-thick elm tree in front of his main hall...... He never touched Ye Yuan or his subordinates again.

Ye Liang seems to be particularly talented for this kind of thing. But it's also that he's incredibly smart in everything he does, and it's intimidatingly smart.

Gu Wuye didn't know what to say, so he saw his wife coming over with the girl, hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead and greeted him, saying, "Be careful!" ”

Gu Wuye's eldest son, Gu Jinxian, is now fifteen years old, and the fifth lady's stomach has not moved all these years, and he is also anxious. It wasn't until two months ago that Mrs. Wu was diagnosed with a happy pulse again, and the Gu family was very surprised. The Gu family has a big business, but the heirs are thin, so it is naturally good to add one or two grandchildren.

Ye Liang didn't think so, my sister is now in her thirties, and she has always had a thin foundation, where is it still suitable for childbearing.

He looked at the unborn nephew in his sister's womb and frowned, looking very displeased.

Ye Shi doesn't mind, Ye Liang is this character. Originally, he didn't like Gu Jinxian!

Gu Wuye's face was solemn: "I've been sick for more than half a year, didn't the second sister-in-law say that it was okay last time I came back, and the condition didn't recur." Why did you suddenly go to ......"

The fifth lady whispered, "...... It seemed to be self-hanging, and the entire Gu family was shocked. ”

The two couples were talking, but they heard Ye Quan's voice: "Gu Jinchao's mother...... He's dead? ”

Ye Shi noticed that his expression was a little strange, so he patted his head: "What Gu Jinchao...... You don't know how to shy away from it, you even call the name of the lady of the boudoir, you want to call your niece! ”

Ye Quan pursed his lips: "What's this, she doesn't call me cousin yet." ”

Ye Shi turned his head and didn't bother to pay attention to him. I also discussed with my husband about rushing to Shi'an County, and it was enough to send a few carriages, and who was going to go.

Ye Liang listened and said, "I'm going too, help me arrange a seat." ”

The fifth lady was really annoyed with him: "What are you going to do!" ”

Ye Liang didn't explain to her, only said: "You can help me arrange a seat, I still have a few words to copy, go back first." "His grandfather now wants to hone his patience, let him practice ten jade version of the small seal every day, as soon as he writes, he can't break, concentrate and calm down, otherwise it is very easy to faint ink.

The fifth lady nodded in agreement. After agreeing with her husband, she discussed it with the second lady overnight, and rushed to Shi'an with the people of her ancestral family.

……

Gu Jinrong knelt in front of Ji Shiling to burn paper for her, and he cried silently for an hour, his eyes swollen like walnuts. But there was no sound at all, the mourning hall was so quiet that he was so depressed that he trembled.

The light of the fire in the brazier, the flying paper money ash slowly drifted, and the room was filled with the heavy smell of sandalwood.

Jin Chao felt a little tired. She stood up and wanted to go outside for a while.

Gu Jinrong saw Jin Chao get up, and hurriedly took her hand, and saw Jin Chao's faint gaze, he was afraid that the eldest sister would dislike it. He shrunk his hand and grabbed Jin Chao's sleeve tightly, and muttered, "Eldest sister......"

Jin Chao looked at him expressionlessly: "...... Let go. ”

Gu Jinrong was told by her, and quickly let go of his hand. Jin Chao walked outside, plain white paper lanterns, picked under the eaves. It was dark, and she stood alone under the porch, not knowing where to go.

Gu Jinrong quickly followed, Jin Chao didn't want to see him at all, turned around and walked towards the verandah, Gu Jinrong kept following her, like a tail that couldn't shake off. Jin Chao finally stopped, and Gu Jinrong hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes sad and pitiful.

He felt that he should say something promised, or how much he resented Gu Lan now. But after a few incoherent words, he couldn't say anything clearly. He is very lonely now, without Gu Lan and without a mother, and at the same time he blames himself so much that he wants to die...... He thought about what he could do to win back his eldest sister's trust and make up for his mother's death.

Gu Jinchao looked at his younger brother and sighed, if only he could wake up earlier.

"I hate what you do, I just mourn its misfortune and am angry with it. Brother Rong, if you really understand what I mean, you will know what to do. Gu Jinchao told him, "You don't have to say anything to me, you know it in your heart." ”

Gu Jinrong was stunned and stood motionless. Jin Chao continued to walk along the verandah, and when she arrived at the main gate of the Xiexiao Courtyard, Qingpu was already waiting for her. Tell her that Daxing's Gu family has sent someone over overnight. In addition to the second lady, the fifth lady and Gu Wuye also came, along with Gu Jinxian, Gu Jinxiao and Changxing Hou Shizi.

However, Gu Dezhao had already met them in the flower hall and thanked them again, and the second lady began to prepare for Ji's funeral. In addition to the small funeral, there are also large burials, burials and other matters, and someone was sent to the Taoist temple to invite Taoist Chen to come over. The others all went to the incense in front of Ji's Ling.

Jin Chao thought about it, and went to the department to assist the second lady.

After Gu Dezhao arranged these, the sky was also dawning, and he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, but he refused to leave the Xiexiao Courtyard. When he stood up, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He didn't listen to how Steward Li persuaded him to rest, and hurriedly asked the girl to come over to find Gu Jinchao, who was talking to the second lady.

Jin Chao was very angry, and rushed to see Steward Li next to him and said, "If he doesn't want to, you will faint and drag him back!" ”

Gu Dezhao sat on the brocade, and his spirit was very weak: "Sister Chao, you don't have to worry about me ......"

Jin Chao smiled: "I'm not worried about you. You just feel that you blame yourself too much for your mother's death, and you want to atone for your sins in this way. In my opinion, this is very willful and irresponsible, who do you want to show when you get sick? Show me or my mother, or do you want to show the guests? ”

Gu Dezhao was silent for a long time, unable to say anything, and only got up and returned to Juliu Pavilion after a while.

Jin Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the department to discuss with the second lady what should be done with his mother's coffin. I couldn't find a coffin for a while, so I could only go to the paper horse shop to buy a finished coffin, and the quality was inevitably unsatisfactory. The second lady said, "...... When you left, your grandmother told you to borrow her if you didn't have a suitable coffin. ”

Grandmother can be regarded as letting go of her mother's mustard, after all, there are no more people. Thinking of this, Jin Chao couldn't help but sigh.

The second lady didn't close her eyes for a day and a night when she saw Gu Jinchao, but she didn't feel tired at all. In addition to the red and swollen eyes that have cried, they look extraordinarily strong. also helps with these tedious things.,It's also very skilled.。

She thought of Gu Jinrong who was crying in front of Ji's spirit again, and she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy and appreciation when she looked at Jin Chao's gaze.
