Gu Jinyu's conduct is excellent, and Gu Yao still likes her.

After all, Gu Jinyu's temperament is very similar to Jiang's.

Gu Jiayao said in a low voice: "She shouldn't have taken a fancy to the dowry shop prepared by Gu Fourth Master for Gu Jinxuan, when she heard that her mother died of illness, she specially told her not to be greedy for pleasure anymore, and to study hard and learn skills." ”

"It's not impossible."

Jiang Shi bowed his head and said: "But if she can impress Gu Siye, Gu Siye can treat her differently, we are not suitable to meddle, Yaoyao, you don't have to sympathize with her because she is your cousin." ”

"I never thought of helping Gu Jinyu get out of trouble, I know very well who she is."

"If only you understood."

Jiang Shi nodded with satisfaction, "Although Gu Siye is a little confused, but there is no shortage of brains, Gu Jinyu's goal is Gu Siye, not the entire Gu family." ”

Her husband, she knows better than anyone else!

*****

Gu Jinyu slowly walked into the ancestral hall and saw Gu Yan kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, "Dad." ”

"I have ordered the coffin to be packed up, and you will be buried tomorrow."

"Dad, don't you think about it again?"

"What do you think?"

Gu Yan raised his eyes to look directly at Gu Jinyu, Gu Jinyu lowered his eyelids, "Dad, I was wrong." ”

“……”

"I thought that as long as I studied hard, I would definitely be able to surpass Gu Jia in the future."

Gu Jinyu's voice was choked, and there were crystal tears in the corners of her eyes, "I was also forced to be in a hurry, so I went to Gu Lu and wanted her to help, but she refused, she said...... She is the aunt and grandmother of the Gu family, she can't betray the Gu family's sect motto! ”

Her fingers clenched tighter, her nails sank into her palms, and blood flowed down, but Gu Jinyu didn't mind, "But she didn't follow the sect's precepts, not only did she disrespect you, but she always targeted me, you...... Why didn't you teach her a lesson? ”

Gu Yan shook his head, "After all, her surname is Gu." ”

"You still hate your mother's death?!" Gu Jinyu's eyes suddenly widened, as if she couldn't believe it, "My mother died in an accident, you can't be angry with my mother and me." ”

Gu Yan looked at her indifferently, and only said after a while: "Gu Jinyu, don't you understand?" Not only your surname is Gu, but my surname is also Gu. ”

Gu Jinyu's face turned pale, "Didn't you say that except for the surname, no one in the Gu family can compare with you, even if it is your father and mother, otherwise...... Otherwise, I'm not a Gu family, how can you ...... How could you make me your eldest daughter? ”

"Because you are sensible and considerate, kind and filial, I like sensible and intelligent children, especially after your mother left me."

Gu Yan sighed, "I owe her too much, I can't bear to see you sad, and I don't want to let you down, I don't want you to think that I am not worthy of being your father." ”

“……”

Gu Jinyu's eyes were red, "Dad, don't lie to me, Gu Lu didn't dissuade me at all, she ...... She wishes that I would make a bigger fuss, and if it comes to you, it would be best to be used by Gu Jia and make it known all over the city. ”

"That girl...... It's not as good as Jinyu to be well-behaved and sensible. ”

Gu Yan stood up and slowly approached Gu Jinyu, "You may not know that I did love each other with Yaoyao back then, but I disliked her for being rude and ugly...... Yaoyao's mother was humiliated by me, she left in discouragement, I didn't even have a chance to keep it, I could only have a crush on her for the rest of my life, and even I didn't dare to let others know, for fear that if it was spread, I would lose my reputation and the Gu family would be disgraced. ”

"Daddy." Gu Jinyu's lips trembled, her eyes moistened, and she choked up, "You shouldn't ...... She shouldn't have made up lies. ”

"You don't believe me?" Gu Yan asked rhetorically.

Gu Jinyu bit her lip and shook her head stubbornly, "I believe you, but why did you arrange Gu Lu?" She doesn't deserve it. ”

"You're wrong, Jinyu, she's even better than you think!"

"I'm not convinced!"

Gu Jinyu retorted loudly: "Even if you don't have a mother, you should choose me, you obviously love me, why do you want to pamper Gu Lu?" ”

"Gu Lu is smarter, better, and more empathetic than me."

"It's a pity, Gu Lu is too childish, she will always only account for the small profits in front of her, not as good as yours, I just hope that Gu Lu will calculate less, argue less, read more books, and have a good marriage in the future."

"I don't want her to be rich and rich, I just ask her to marry someone who is honest and reliable."

“…… I'm not reconciled, Dad, how can she deserve to have you? ”

Gu Jinyu clenched her fists, "You are my mother's only flesh and blood, you can't ...... You must not marry a savage and wayward fool. ”

Resentment flashed in her eyes, "Isn't she going to be the eldest lady of the Gu family?" Isn't she going to make everyone envy her? ”

"I just don't let her get her wish, I can't let her enjoy everything, she should hand over the Gu family's belongings and give me all the property, including your marriage book!"

"Smack, smack."

Gu Yan clapped his hands and praised, "It's worthy of being my daughter, you have courage, I like your courage!" ”

"You...... You're not angry? ”

Gu Jinyu was surprised: "Don't you blame me for robbing Gu Shan and Gu Jue and snatching Gu Jia's opportunity?" ”

"Gu Shan and Gu Jue won't be jealous of you, Gu Jia is not worth their thoughts, and you have never offended them, they are just brothers and sisters of the same clan."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "I'm very happy that you can take the initiative to remind me." ”

Gu Jinyu was slightly stunned, then her eyes flashed brightly, and she said softly: "I just think that Gu Lu is your niece and granddaughter, and you are too strict with her." ”

"Not strict, not strict, you are my only child, I want to give you the best, but you have also seen that Gu Lu's temper is not enough to be qualified for the position of heir, I would rather be wronged, but also cultivate you, you are my only bloodline, and you are filial and sensible, in the future, I can close my eyes with peace of mind after a hundred years."

Gu Yan turned around, his expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "You are the heir of the Gu family's long house!" ”

"Daddy—"

"Don't worry, when your mother left, I swore that I would not let anyone bully you."

Gu Yan stretched out his hand and touched the top of Gu Jinyu's head, his tone was calm, with a little emotion: "I just regret that I didn't raise you to be more beautiful at the beginning, if I had let you practice martial arts earlier, or practice martial arts...... Your mother won't die. ”

"Mother's death is because of me?" Gu Jinyu muttered, her eyes red, "I always thought it was ......"

"You always thought I was negligent, and your mother shouldn't have run away?"

“…… I didn't know that my mother's condition had deteriorated, I just wanted to be with my mother. ”

Gu Jinyu choked up and said, "I just don't worry about my mother alone...... I'm afraid that she will be lonely and lonely, and I'm even more afraid that she won't be able to think about it. ”

"Silly boy." Gu Yan laughed out loud and gently pinched Gu Jinyu's cheek, "Your mother's death has nothing to do with me, she has already expected her ending, she won't complain, she won't look for short-sightedness, your mother is just ......"

He paused for a moment and said softly, "She's just tired, tired, and wants to rest, she doesn't want to work anymore." ”

Gu Jinyu wiped away the tears on her cheeks, "Since my mother doesn't blame my father, I don't blame you, as long as my surname is Gu one day, I won't allow others to bully you!" ”

Gu Yan stared at her deeply, "I believe in you, Jinyu. ”

"Rest quickly, I'll send you to the ancestral grave tomorrow." Gu Jinyu picked up the wooden box on the bed, "Here is what I prepared for you, I hope you can keep it intact." ”

"You...... Do you turn it on? ”

"Hmm."

Gu Jinyu said softly: "You are right, I should learn to adapt to the Gu family." ”

Gu Yan looked at the wooden box for a long time with complicated eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so fast...... Accept the Gu family quickly. ”

Gu Jinyu smiled brightly, "Because I never doubted you, you always said that the Gu family would not be destroyed, I believe it!" ”

The corners of Gu Yan's mouth curled slightly, and he nodded the tip of her nose, and the soft touch made Gu Yan intoxicated, "Jinyu ......"

Gu Jinyu raised her hand to block Gu Yan and glared at him vigilantly, as if Gu Yan would pounce on him in the next second, "You won't touch me again, will you?" ”

Gu Yan smiled, "No, no, I promise!" ”

******

In the early morning of the next day, the ancestral hall of the Gu family was full of kneeling people, and Gu Yan led Gu Jinyu step by step into the ancestral tablet.

Mrs. Gu and other women and children still sat on the futon and kowtowed, they not only guarded the spirit of the deceased old man Gu, but also prayed in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Gu family.

Today's old lady Gu is wearing plain clothes, although her sideburns have added gray hair, but her face is still old, her skin is dry, wrinkles lie between the ravines, and her eyes are dull, as if she has lost her vitality.

She didn't sleep well last night, and she kept hearing people crying and scolding outside.

When she opened her eyes, she heard the voice of the housekeeper's mother, and said: "Second young grandmother, the old slave is stopping you, you can't go in, this is the old man's order, the old man said, he doesn't want to see you again, please leave the Gu house immediately, don't affect the old man's peace in the earth." ”

"I'm his wife!" Gu Shan roared angrily and pointed to the coffin at the door, "I am the mistress of the Gu family, and I am the mistress of the Gu family!" Why can Gu Jinyu be buried in the ancestral grave? ”

The housekeeper's mother persuaded: "The old man said, the Gu family will not keep you, and you are not worthy of being buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family." ”

"What about Gu Jinyu? I remember that she was just a concubine, is she also worthy of being in the ancestral grave?! ”

Gu Yao vaguely heard Gu Shan's sharp and piercing voice, and sighed secretly, "You stand down first, don't entangle with her anymore, she is confused now, and she can't be reasonable at all." ”

"Four girls." The housekeeper's mother hesitated and said, "The old man said on his deathbed that unless he personally drove you away, no one else was allowed to help you." ”

Gu Yao pursed the corners of her mouth, Old Man Gu was really tough enough, even if he was lying in the coffin, he didn't forget to beat Gu Shan.

However, Old Man Gu obviously misunderstood Gu Shan's words.

Gu Yao walked towards the door of the ancestral hall, "I have taken my grandfather's last words to heart, and I dare not disobey his old man's instructions, but the third uncle should not stop me from seeing my grandfather for the last time." ”

With a bang, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and a man in a brocade robe came slowly.

Gu Yao was slightly stunned, it was Gu Zhan!

No wonder she heard that Gu Yao refused to see Gu Jinyu, it turned out that she was hiding here.

"Third uncle!" Gu Jinyu was surprised, and hurriedly saluted, "Why are you here?" What about my mother? Is she still in the ancestral hall? ”

Gu Zhan bowed his head and said, "Your mother is weak and needs to be cultivated. ”

Gu Jinyu asked nervously, "Do you need medication?" ”

"Not necessarily."

"You don't have to hide it from me, I know my mother's physical condition, I ......"
