lnmao.org, do you know the fastest update? Do you know? It should be the latest chapter of Green Fat Red Thin!
As a custodial man, there is an old father at the top and a young brother at the bottom. It is enough to have a long-term relationship with a crooked woman. Anyway, we should also think about the family situation, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and take precautions. I can’t raise money for a while, and I have to find a good excuse or excuse. It only takes a while, and after a year or a half, Emperor Wu passed away. The new emperor is kind and pleads for one or two, and most of it can be done slowly.
Thinking of the Da Qin clan, although Gu Tingye knew that she had died pitifully, but he still couldn’t help feeling bored. He could understand his father’s deep affection, but after all, she was a burial woman who had been married to Gu Men for nearly ten years, only knowing that the wind, the snow and the moon hurt the spring. Bei Qiu, she didn't even know the hidden dangers of her husband's family.
Such a weak woman should not marry the eldest son or grandson, she shouldn't be a clan-in-law; if she is a responsible and intelligent woman, she will never become the burden of her husband-in-law blindly, just like... Minglan.
He felt tenderness suddenly. Turning his gaze to his elder brother, there were a few cruel touches on his mouth, and he sneered: "I understand what the eldest brother means to bring me to the ancestral hall. Of course, facing my ancestor and father, he asked me to reflect. One thing I can say is that I don’t help. Let it go, the Gu clan will not fall."
Gu Tingyu stared at him fiercely. Gu Tingye didn't back down. The two brothers of the same blood line were like two masters who met each other, fighting against each other's wits and scheming to see who could survive the other.
After a while, Gu Tingyu sighed and leaned back in the chair, pointing to the incense table and said: "There is a box over there, you can go check it out."
Gu Tingye's handsome eyes flashed a ray of light coldly, and walked to the incense case.
This is a dark and heavy wooden box with a width of more than a square foot and a length of two feet. It is covered with gold and jade at four corners. That's all, Gu Tingye was surprised to find that this was actually extremely precious agarwood golden nanmu , Such a big box, I am afraid that it will be difficult to change.
The lock has been opened, I flipped the lid of the box to look inside, the bright yellow underlay, with a double-eared scroll on top, the golden yellow silk thread embroidered dragon and phoenix patterns, and the head was embroidered with clouds, cranes, and lions. It is an imperial edict. On the side there was another swarthy thing, a thick arched iron sheet, with vertical writing engraved on it, filled with cinnabar, and inlaid with gold at the beginning of the volume.
Gu Tingye froze for a moment, it was an iron voucher from a red book.
Usually, only on New Year's Day and festivals are they brought out and put them on the incense table to worship. The descendants who are kneeling behind can't see it at all; this is the first time he saw this Gu family treasure.
"Take out the iron ticket and look at the four characters at the top." Gu Tingyu said with difficulty.
The Danshu Iron Voucher was originally a hollow barrel. On the day when the decree was conferred, it was cut in half and held by the court and the family of Youjue each. Therefore, the sinking iron piece that fell in Gu Tingye’s hands is similar in shape. watt.
Gu Tingye slowly turned the iron sheet, and moved his gaze to the beginning of the volume. At the forefront, he used gold wedge into four solemn characters: Founding a Country and Auxiliary Transport.
Gu Tingyu raised his head and looked at the many high-lined tablets on the incense table. Under the candlelight, the shadows overlapped into a jungle half of thorns, and fell on the Gu family brothers, and they couldn't even see their faces.
"The ancestor, Shande, was a grassy and humble body, learned from the Taizu, his widow died with a few children, and Youshan Gong made great contributions. After that, Taizu went east and Taizong Xifanulgan. , Nanping Miaosi, Sanjing Beijiang, the Gu family’s children have killed eleven lives on the battlefield... I don’t need to say these."
"I know your plan." Gu Tingyu said pantingly, stroking his chest, and continued, "Father married your biological mother for the sake of the Hou Mansion and gave birth to you. You hate and you blame, so You just want to watch the Ningyuan Marquis fall down, call it to ruin the voucher, go to jail, go to exile; put your long-standing grievances out. Staying for ten or eight years, and you are slow Slowly accumulate your military merits, and the emperor will give you a knighthood. At that time, you will be regarded as the ancestor of the ancestor of the Gu family! Those who have treated you are not dead, they are down and down, and you have all revenge!"
Gu Tingyu laughed while talking, panting for breath: "But the emperor can't take my title to you directly. Even if the accusation is pressed there, it will inevitably be suspected of bullying weak brothers and widows. The emperor has the most reputation. He won't, he won't because of you. But you can't swallow this breath again, so you simply draw your salary from the bottom of the pot and forget it! Isn't it?"
Gu Tingye looked at his elder brother who was laughing wildly, coldly, without saying a word.
"But, but, have you ever thought about..." Gu Tingyu finally stopped the laughter, with a sad expression, "After many years, can you get these four words on the red book iron coupons? "
"For so many years, when Taizu cleared out so many heroes, the "Nine Kings Rebellion" when Taizong came to the throne, and then a few rebellions, Daxing imprisonment, and even now... many founding heroes have been taken into captivity. Now! Do you know that now the sky is full of calculations, how many homes of Jue have such iron coupons?"
Gu Tingyu suddenly became excited, "I tell you, there are only eight! Eight! The rest, guardians and heroes of Xuanli, are not worth mentioning in front of our family! We are truly in the same line. Broken! Even the Hou Mansion in Xiangyang didn't have this. It's the red and purple Shen's family now. What a big deal."
He made a burst of effort, and suddenly rushed to Gu Tingye, grabbed Gu Tingye’s front with his skinny hands, and shouted: "Why do you think you can take the heavy responsibility? When the new emperor had just ascended the throne, you only brought it with you. A squad of troops went to pick up the defense, and Jiangdu Daying obediently listened to your orders; so many of the cronies of the emperor's residence also took the imperial decree of soldiers to pick up military affairs, except for the emperor’s brother-in-law who gave some face to him, who is like you? Smooth? You dispatched troops faster than others and served them earlier than others, so you can make a contribution! I'll tell you, because your surname is Gu! The Gu family has been buried in the army for several lifetimes! Because of your surname Gu! You... "
Gu Tingyu was exhausted, coughing violently, and almost fell to the ground shaking. Gu Tingye's face was indifferent and he didn't know what he was thinking. He picked up his brother, put it back on the seat, poured a glass of water from the tea tray and handed it to he.
Gu Tingyu's cough was almost bleeding. He pressed it down with tea, panting hard, and then gradually calmed down; he looked at the iron cyan red coupons on the incense table, his eyes gradually moistened, and he whispered:
"When the incident happened that year, his father had been an official to the Zuojun captain. Whether Emperor Wu or the first emperor of the prince at the time, he was quite valued; even without the title, his future was always there. He eventually threw it away Leave my mother down for these four words."
Gu Tingye was silent.
When he was young, he saw his father hiding in the study more than once, crying bitterly at the portrait of Da Qin.
The candlelight pulled the shadows of the two brothers long, one tall and strong, the other curled up; Gu Tingyu stared at his shadow on the ground in disgust, suddenly relieved, after all, for so many years, he was because Resentful for the past, or jealous for the present? But now, what is there to care about?
"I know that you are a biological mother and a parent and child. There is nothing wrong with it." When he spoke again, Gu Tingyu's heart was quiet, "But you have not only a mother, but also a father. You have half of your flesh and blood, and your surname is Gu. Ningyuan Hou Mansion."
"I won't have an heir. As for how long it will be, you can ask the doctor Zhang, I don't think so many days." Gu Tingyu's face is as dry as stagnant water, and it is like a pine branch on an isolated cliff. "You can logically It’s up to you how you want to deal with those outsiders. They have been attached to their father’s wings for many years, and they are full of arrogance and coquettishness. With your methods today, grab some handles to pinch them. It’s not difficult."
Hearing this, Gu Tingye laughed, and ridiculed the corners of his lips: "I don't know when the eldest brother understood this way? I think at the beginning, the eldest brother was as good as his uncles and uncles."
Especially when dealing with him, he provoked discord, fanned the flames, and cooperated seamlessly.
It's not that Gu Tingyu couldn't understand the meaning of these words. He only said indifferently: "When people are about to die, they always see and understand. Besides, I knew what they were like."
"You don't remember your wife and daughter? Just thinking about maintaining the Gu's title." Gu Tingye sneered, "Sure enough, Gu's good descendants."
"Your sister-in-law is good to you, you will not embarrass her. You are not such a person." Gu Tingyu replied simply, "My younger brothers and sisters come in these days, I look at them are also generous."
Gu Tingye gave a secret, this person still has to play scheming at this time.
"The eldest brother is good at eloquence, and the younger brother has nothing to say." Gu Tingye smiled indifferently, "However, I am the shameless son of the Gu family, so I want to swallow it just for those four words. These years of anger, the eldest brother has said that it is too light. It is also true, after all, it is not you who suffer."
"It was me who was **** by my father and almost sent to the clan mansion; Gu Tingyang defiled the girl in his father’s room and forced them to commit suicide. It was me who was wronged; Gu Tingbing owed gambling debts to the prostitute and gambling with the brothel. After the collusion, I wrote the IOU of my name, and my father almost broke my bones; I was so angry that I went to look for the brothel gambling shop to confront me, and instead caused endless troubles, I lost my ridiculous reputation. My father vomited blood. I was angry, the more trouble I got, the more fierce... Finally, my father was sad and disappointed; it was me who was kicked out of the house."
Gu Tingye said very lightly, almost mumbling to himself, "...At that time, at the time, in the Gu mansion, how many people had spoken to me? Brother Xuan had said it several times, but later he didn’t dare anymore, especially. Close his brother; anyone else, hum..."
The dim and vast ancestral hall sank into silence, and the brothers remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Gu Tingyu sighed: "I'm a dying person, but I just follow my father's instructions and try my best to protect the Gu family's lintel. Whether you want to vent your anger or hate, you can have something else. Way, don’t, don’t, don’t ruin Gu’s century-old foundation.” At the end of the speech, he became weaker and weaker, almost begging. He was extremely weak and overwhelmed: “I’ve said what I should say, and the rest , You think about it..."
Gu Tingye raised his head and looked straight at the two large paintings at the top of the Xiangan, which are the portraits of the first generation of Ningyuan Hou Gu Youshan and his wife.
When Gu Jiaerlang became an adult, most of them had deep eyebrows, pressing the flying and straight eyebrows, as if to lock all the emotions in the forbearance of thick ink.
Suddenly he remembered that humiliating day. It was so easy for him to enter the mourning hall, across the coffin, and finally to look at the old father. In the eyes of his young, his father, who was as tall and large as a mountain, was shrunk so thin and thin. .
Before he was fifteen years old, he was living in low self-esteem and stubbornness. He was born inferior; after meeting Grandma Chang, he knew the truth about his birth mother married into Gu Men. He was full of resentment as hot as gushing magma, but unable to He told him that at this point, even his father secretly hated him, and he became rebellious when he opened his mouth, and the quarrel between father and son became more rigid.
He knew what Gu Tingyu said could not be believed. What kind of stuff he is, since childhood, is he still unclear?
If he really inherited the title of the eldest brother, can he treat the widow's wife badly?
And if you really win the title, then the other house will be fine. At any rate, there are men, but their orphans and widows can only live by the relatives of other families, and they can have any good fruits; only Ningyuan Hou Mansion stands still , Under the name of the late Hou Ye's widow and weak woman, they can live a good life of being respected and enjoying prosperity.
Not to mention Sister Xian's marriage, it's a huge difference.
Today, he is no longer the Gu Jiaerlang who could bully or deceive at will. He knew exactly what they were thinking, and he understood it all in his heart.
Gu Tingyu wants to arrange funerals, and wants to take care of his wife and daughter in the future, should he be obedient?
Unconsciously, there was a bright light above his head. He had walked out of the ancestral hall. Oncoming, a familiar and bright face greeted him, full of anxiety and worry; he liked her eyes best, so clean, calm and dusty. Not stained.
Behind him is a gloomy past, and in front is a bright and clear future.
