Chapter 471

It's a cloudy day.

Early in the morning, the northwest wind was blowing.

The wind from the collar into the body, the body only a little warm and warm, in an instant was taken away by the cold wind.

The servant opened the door and called Gu to get up.

"Old man, it's time to get up. I have an appointment with the doctor today to ask for pulse. I can't lie down all the time. "

The servant called, and there was no movement on the bed.

So he came to the bedside, reached out, and planned to wake up Gu himself.

As soon as his hand touched Mr. Gu, the servant felt that he was not right.

And then

"Ah

A scream pierced the sky and broke the silence above Gu Fu.

The old man is dead. Gu has been found dead.

Gu Jiu is in the dark, just ushered in Gu Fu mourning people.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn't.

That is to feel uncomfortable, the heart is stuffy, did not eat two meals in the evening.

Liu Zhao didn't trust her, pushed everything and stayed with her.

Gu Jiu lies in the middle of the night and gets up from the bed.

"Feel better?" Liu Zhao asked.

Gu Jiu leaned on his shoulder, "my heart is empty, and I don't know whether it's sad or something else. It's just uncomfortable. "

"You can't be reborn after death. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you back to the mansion. "

Nine Gu, "nod hard!"

Liu Zhao hugged her, "will this be better?"

Maybe.

One night, Gu Jiu was half asleep and half awake. I don't sleep deep enough, but I can't stay awake.

The whole person is in a wonderful state.

In the morning, when she was woken up, she was still in a coma.

"Are you going?"

"If you don't feel well, we'll leave later."

Gu Jiu sat on the bed, silent for a long time, then said: "just back in the capital, I heard a lot of bad rumors about the old man.

On the day of returning to Beijing, the master made another scene. At that time, like everyone else, I had a bad impression of him.

Later, it was because my father angered the empress and she was sent to prison. Then I knew that the old man was not what people said

Liu Zhao is a quiet listener.

Gu Jiu continued: "later, I had contacts with the old man. I will tell him to drink less and keep fit. He would take out his private money to celebrate my new marriage and my birth. This is the first one in the government, and other sisters have no such treatment.

Every time I get a gift, I'm happy. I was looking forward to his long life. I didn't expect it. In a twinkling of an eye, people went. "

Liu Zhao hugged her in silence and gave her strength.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath. "I didn't expect that the last time I met, it would be the last time. If I had known, I would have... "

Gu Jiu couldn't go on.

"Stop it. We'll go to Gu Fu later. "

Gu Jiu nods. She is in a bad state. She has to calm down.

By the time they set off and arrived at Gu Fu, the time had already gone up.

White lanterns were hung at the gate of Gu's mansion, and all the servants were dressed in mourning clothes to welcome the guests at the gate.

The spirit hall is located in the side hall of the outer courtyard. Master Gu and Lord Gu are not there. Only the men in the two rooms kneel and kowtow in the spirit hall.

Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao, together with incense kowtow worship, offering a memorial ceremony.

The men all returned their greetings. Gu Cheng stood up with Gu Jiu and said, "my second sister goes to the flower hall for tea. All the guests are there."

Gu Jiu asked him, "how did the old man die?"

Gu Cheng lowered her head and sighed, "life is alive, birth, death and old age are inevitable."

"If six brothers refuse to tell the truth, I will ask Gu Gong. If Gu Gong's mouth is not firm, he will say it. "

Gu Cheng frowned. "Why does the second sister think there is something wrong with the old man's death? At this time, guests came to offer their condolence. Gu Jiu couldn't stay any longer. She said to Gu Cheng, "I'll go to ask my sister-in-law. Thank you very much."

"Can you call me back? He is the legitimate eldest son of our second room. He should be present when the old man dies. "

"He is now in the northwest army. It is too late for him to come back and forth."

Gu sighed, "I know. My sister goes to the flower hall for tea first

Gu Jiu took Liu Zhao to the flower hall. Sure enough, all the guests were drinking tea in the flower hall.

Liu Zhao said to her, "if you go to talk to your sister-in-law, I'll go to talk to the people in Hou's house."

The couple split up.

The Hu family is entertaining guests.

After Gu Jiu indicates her intention, she tells her servant girl to greet the guests, and then she takes Gu Jiu to the wing room to talk.

"The second sister wants to ask the old man how he died, right?"

Gu nine nods, "the old man's body I still calculate clear, he hasn't come to the time of death.""Who said no. Now that my husband has said something, I will not hide it from my second sister. The old man committed suicide by burning charcoal. "

"What?"

Gu Jiu can't believe it.

At first she wondered if the old man had been murdered.

I never thought it would be suicide.

The blood on her face faded. "For no reason, why did the old man commit suicide? The father's case has been solved and the house has calmed down. There is no reason for the old man to commit suicide. "

"That's what we all think. But the old man was sure that it was written in his last letter. He said that he had lived enough, so he decided to make up for himself. After that, everything has been arranged, even enough money has been reserved for funerals. "

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, "where is the old man's letter? I want to see it myself. "

"The letter is in the hands of my great uncle."

Gu Jiu went directly to the big room and ordered Mr. Gu to leave a letter.

Mr. Gu seems to have been prepared. "I knew you would ask about this. Here is the letter. You can read it slowly."

Mr. Gu gave the letter to Gu Jiu and left the study.

The letter is very thick, full of seven or eight pages.

First of all, the reason for the suicide, and then the arrangement of future affairs, the idea of separation. Even Gu Shan's marriage was considered.

For fear of delaying Gu Shan's marriage, the old man specially mentioned it in his last letter. He asked Mr. Gu, the second room, to seize the opportunity to marry Gu Shan to the Duke of the state of Zhu.

After that, the government talked about filial piety.

In addition to the cost of funeral, Mr. Gu also left some private money, all of which were divided into two parts.

Even Gu Jiu was given two thousand taels of silver and several servants.

After reading the thick letter, Gu Jiu is more and more sad.

This is indeed Gu's handwriting.

Gu Jiu is good at imitating handwriting, so she is very sensitive to handwriting.

The handwriting is confirmed to be correct. It was written by Gu himself. The choice of words and sentences are also Gu's idioms, showing a sense of arrogance.

Even if you are going to die, you should scold all the unfilial sons and grandchildren in the will, leaving a big shadow for them.

But just because the letter is true, Gu Jiu's doubts are growing.

Master Gu came in from the outside, "have you finished watching it?"

Gu Jiu took the note and asked, "why does the old man want to die?"

"The old man said in his letter that

"Does uncle believe it?" She interrupted Mr. Gu.

Master Gu was a little confused, "what do you believe in?"

"Uncle really believes in the reasons written in the letter. The old man wanted to commit suicide because he was tired of living?"

Master Gu was embarrassed for a moment, "what if you don't believe it. Now that it's done, it's important to let the dead rest in peace. "

Gu Jiu shook his head. "There must be a reason for the death of the old man. He may have been forced to death. "

"Why do you think so? Who can kill the old man? Don't you think you're a skeptic? impossible. No one can kill the old man. "

Mr. Gu denied it.

Gu Jiu said: "I didn't say it was Gu Fu's people who forced him to death."

"Who are you talking about? Who has the ability to kill the old man? "

Gu Jiu put down the suicide note, "this is just my guess, uncle don't have to worry about it. The funeral is to be done as it should be. Four younger sister's marriage had to be arranged as soon as possible, so as not to delay her youth.

As for the separation, you can discuss it. If you need me to show up, you can go to the palace and say it. "

Master Gu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess.

Gu Jiu is not willing to say more.

It's just her guess. She has no evidence to prove it.

She was in a gloomy mood.

When I was in the atrium, I met Gu Yu and Gu fourth brother.

Gu Yu's expression is a little gray. Recently, his life is not very good.

"Second sister, I'm sorry."

"Fourth brother Gu, I'm sorry."

After a pause, Gu Jiu suddenly asked, "is my father really innocent in the case of Hubu's ink corruption?"

Gu Yu frowned. "Why did the second sister suddenly ask about this?"

Gu Jiu said casually, "I'm just curious. I heard that Mr. Ma hasn't been found yet. It can be said that he can't live or die. It's weird. "

Gu Yu frowned and pondered for a moment. "It's not right to say that adults are completely innocent."

Did Mr. Gu really take part in the corruption case?
