Chapter 548 (1/2)
Gu Fu sent someone to the palace to report the funeral, saying that Gu Yue was gone.
It was snowing heavily in the capital that day. Ice and snow covered the world, a glance, a vast expanse of white.
The mourner said, ”the third aunt sleeps heavily, and the servant girl sleeps too. She doesn't know when the room is closed in the middle of the night. When the servant girl knocked on the door in the morning, she found that she was no longer angry.
The sixth young master blamed himself, saying that he should not arrange the third aunt in a small courtyard without floor heating because of taboo.
When the wife learned that the third aunt was gone, she cried and fainted. When he wakes up, he grabs the sixth young master and asks him to pay for the third aunt's life.
The lady didn't see the scene, so she used the knife. The sixth young master handed his wife a dagger and told her to kill him and pay for the third aunt's life. My wife's hands are shaking, and she can't do it at last. ”
Gu Jiu asked, ”what did the master say except for his wife's fuss?”
The servant who reported the funeral said: ”the master sighed and sighed that he was too old this year. Seeing that filial piety was to come out, this kind of thing happened again. Fortunately, the third aunt's seniority is low, and she is a married daughter. Gu's family doesn't need to be filial to her.
The master also sent a letter to King Chu's house. He hoped that he could pick up the young master to Gu's house, and at any rate, he would dress up for a few days to see the third aunt on his last journey. ”
”Is there a reply from the king of Chu's mansion?”
”When I went out, there was no reply from King Chu's mansion. The young master is too young to agree. Besides, the third aunt has been removed from the list of the palace of Chu. ”
Gu Jiu breathed out, ”I know. I'll go back tomorrow. Will all the other aunts go back? ”
”Yes, I will go back tomorrow.”
”That's it.”
Gu Jiu didn't expect that Gu Fu delayed reporting the funeral for two days.
About Gu Yue's matter, she all conceals, even Liu Zhao did not tell.
It's not that she can't believe Liu Zhao, but that she doesn't want to expose the worst side of her mother's family to her intimate pillow people.
Those things Gu Yue did were more than unbearable. They were damned.
Liu Zhao some worried about Gu Jiu's state, ”do you need me to accompany you back tomorrow?”
”No Gu Jiu refused Liu Zhao's kindness without thinking about it.
She was worried that Liu Zhao had gone, and those things could not be concealed from his eyes.
Liu Zhao asked again, ”don't you really need me to accompany you?”
Gu Jiu nodded, ”I can do it alone. All the sisters will go back tomorrow. I may miss some time. You went, but no one called you. ”
”Well, let me know if you need anything. We're husband and wife, we shouldn't see each other. ”
”Of course I won't see you.”
The next morning, the blood stopped.
Gu Jiu gets on the carriage and sets off to review the mansion.
In the early morning in the streets of Beijing, the military and horse division of five cities organized people to clean up the snow on the road area and sprinkle carbon slag to prevent slipping.
The carriage moved slowly because of the snow.
It took twice as much time as usual to get back to Gu Fu.
Because the family has been separated, there is no white lantern hanging at the gate.
After entering the gate, there are only white lanterns hanging at the entrance of the second courtyard.
Gu's family set up a spirit hall for Gu Yue, but no one kept filial piety except a few servant girls.
Obviously, the palace did not send Gu Yue's children back.
Gu Jiu enters the spirit hall and burns a stick of incense.
”No matter what you hate or hate, go to reincarnation. Don't abuse yourself in the next life. Only you can do it when a good family girl turns into a woman who sells her body. Everybody climbs up, that is you, the more you mix, the more you go back. It's a smart face. ”
The candle flickered and the smoke curled. A gust of cold wind poured in, and a few servant girls shivered, all of them looked afraid.
White flag flutters, unexpectedly fell on Gu Jiu's shoulder.
The servant girls were all frightened.
Gu Jiu looks back and looks at his shoulder.
She gently took off the white flag, looked scornful, and continued to recite in her heart: ”when you are alive, you can't win me. Now that you're dead, do you think you can make waves? Believe it or not, tomorrow I will ask the most powerful Taoists in the world to suppress you, so that you can never live beyond life. ”
As soon as the voice fell, something strange happened. The hall was quiet enough to hear the needle drop.
What cold wind, what white flag flutter, everything is like illusion.
Even the smoke, also orderly upward drift, gradually dispersed.
And the candle, straight and straight, without any turbulence.
Gu Jiu slightly bowed his head, the corners of his mouth pulled upward, as if in a smile, but also seems to be lamenting.
