Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

"Master, the official department is here." Er Xi gently knocked on the car door.

Gu Lekang opened his eyes, opened the door and stepped on the footstool to get out of the car, looked up at the two words on the Yamen, he lowered his head and straightened his clothes before stretching his feet up the steps.

As a result, he had only walked up two steps when he saw a person walking out in front of him. He couldn't help but stop and looked at the person opposite.

Bright and clean, with a dragon and a phoenix, like a green bamboo Yiyi, I'm afraid it's him. After so many years, he is still the same as before, as if he will never grow old.

Even though they are the same age, he is still two months younger than him, but now he looks much older. And he is still handsome.

Gu Lekang hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't go forward, but bowed to him with his hands in the distance, and couldn't help laughing at himself, maybe he didn't want to see him.

Gu Jingyun stopped, tilted his head and thought for a while before he remembered who he was, he turned around, walked up to the steps above Gu Lekang, looked down at him, saw that he was wearing a white cloth around his waist, nodded slightly as a greeting, and asked, "When will the mourning hall be arranged?"

Gu Lekang was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "We will start the decoration today, and the guests will come to express their condolences tomorrow."

Gu Jingyun nodded, and said with a straight face: "Tomorrow I will come to pay homage."

Gu Lekang's eyes became hot, and he bowed to the end, "Yes, I will wait for my elder brother to come to the door from my brother's house."

Gu Jingyun took a deep look at him, and then turned to leave. The other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but misunderstandings are misunderstandings, and special explanations would seem to cover up.

Gu Lekang watched his figure disappear, and then wiped the corner of his eyes and entered the official department.

Since he passed the Jinshi examination, he has been sent out as an official. Although there are many opportunities to return to Beijing, he does not want to come back.

There are too many familiar people in the familiar places in the capital, and Gu Jingyun is there, so he really can't see him, especially when his father is already insane.

He could only take them away from them.

But now that his father has passed away, he wants to carry the coffin back to his hometown directly, but his father's last wish is to go back to the capital, and he has to fulfill his last wish even if he doesn't want to.

He knew why he wanted to come back, and so did his mother, but the person he wanted to see was not in the capital, and even if he was, he probably wouldn't care.

Gu Lekang calmed down, and when he stepped into the official department, his expression was already flat. Even if there was some sadness on his face, everyone only thought that it was because of his father's death.

Gu Lekang went through the resignation procedures before leaving the official department.

When his father died, he had to observe mourning for three years.

When Gu Lekang returned to Zhongyonghou's Mansion, the mourning hall had already been built. Before that, he was the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, not very far from the capital. Once his father died, he handed over the affairs to his subordinates, and carried the coffin to the north.

Fortunately, the weather was not hot at this time, otherwise the ice would have to be put out, Gu Lekang changed into filial piety clothes, and then went to kowtow to his father.

When he got up, he saw his grandfather walking tremblingly holding the hand of his eldest cousin. Gu Lekang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Grandfather, why are you here?"

Old Master Gu slowly turned his head to look at the coffin on the mourning hall, shaking his lips and said, "How can I not come and see? I have been staying up all this time not daring to die, just because I was afraid of delaying you, but I didn't expect that it was your father who walked in front."

Gu Lekang stretched out his hand to support him, lowered his eyes and said: "Grandfather, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. My grandson is still young, and I always feel that there are still many things that I haven't learned. I can study while I have been mourning for three years."

Old Master Gu nodded in satisfaction, "It's best if you think so, good boy, you are much better than your father and uncles."

Gu Lekang looked helplessly at the big brother, helped him turn around and said, "Grandfather, you can go back and rest, as long as there is a grandson here to take care of it."

It's impossible to say it's not sad when my father died, but it's impossible to say how sad it is. The relationship has been tossed and tossed over the years.

So Gu Lekang really couldn't cry if he really made Gu Lekang cry, but his grandfather would definitely be sad when he saw the coffin.

The two brothers supported Old Master Gu back to the house. When Gu Lekang was about to step back, Old Master Gu grabbed his hand, looked at him with cloudy eyes and said, "Kang'er, did you send someone to notify you from Lingsheng Street?"

"No," Gu Lekang said with downcast eyes: "As soon as my grandson came back, he went to the Ministry of Officials, before he had time..."

"Then go there yourself," Old Master Gu sighed and said, "Although the clan has been divided, he is still your father's son, and his blood is there. If he is notified, it's his fault, but if we don't, it's our fault."

"Yes, grandson will go there in person later."

Gu Laohou just lay down and waved them back.

Gu Lekang went to Lingsheng Street in filial piety, but Gu Jingyun didn't live in Gu's Mansion on Lingsheng Street at all, but in Qin's Mansion.

Gu Lekang hesitated for a while, but in the end he did not go to the Qin Mansion, but sent someone to deliver a post to the Qin Mansion, "Tell Master Gu, just say that I am waiting for him in the Gu Mansion."

Er Xi responded, and drove the carriage to the Qin residence.

Old Li, the gatekeeper, saw Gu Lekang in filial piety, and quickly let him into the room to sit, otherwise it would be really ugly to stand at the door.

The Qin family was having afternoon tea. Gu Jingyun peeled the grapes and stuffed them into Baolu's mouth. When he saw the post, he reached out and took the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "I forgot. According to normal etiquette, they would come to the door to inform me before I can go. Who is here, go and tell him, and I will go to pay homage tomorrow."

Dongfeng opened the post, glanced at it, and immediately said: "Master Gu came to the door in person, but he didn't come to the Qin residence, but was waiting in the Gu residence."

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows, turned to Baolu and said, "He is very polite."

Li Baolu pushed him and said, "So you should be more polite."

"Well, prepare the carriage," Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand to hold Li Baolu and said, "Let's go and have a look with me."

Li Baolu may not have seen Gu Lekang for many years. He left the capital after passing the Jinshi examination, and never met again.

Seeing the middle-aged man sitting upright on the stool in the concierge, it was really difficult for her to connect him with the arrogant young man more than ten years ago.

Li Baolu couldn't help but stop.

Gu Lekang looked up when he heard the movement, and quickly got up to salute the two of them. He glanced at Li Baolu, then lowered his head to look at his toes, he couldn't help wondering, could it be that he was the only one who got old all these years?

Why do these two seem to be so young?

"Sit inside," Li Baolu tugged the silent Gu Jingyun, led the two to the study, and then went down to make tea for the two.

Gu Lekang got up quickly and said: "No need, sister-in-law, I, I just came to let you know and left."

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun, said with a smile, "Since you're here, sit down a bit longer, and I'll make tea for you." After saying that, she left the study.

There were only two brothers left in the room, Gu Jingyun didn't speak, and Gu Lekang didn't know what to say, the atmosphere suddenly condensed, and the room was silent.

Gu Lekang couldn't help sweating on his forehead. He had been an official for nearly ten years, and he had seen a lot, but at this moment, sitting opposite Gu Jingyun, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, his heart was lifted high, and he was very anxious.

Gu Jingyun glanced at him, put away his aura, and asked, "Did the old Hou ask you to go this way?"

"yes,.

"Is there anything else?"

"No," Gu Lekang hesitated for a moment before saying, "You have already divided into sects, and you don't need to kneel down, so tomorrow you can just dress plainly and come to pay homage."

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly.

There are also examples to follow. Although Kneeling Ling has a better reputation with Gu Jingyun, and might even get the title of filial son, Gu Lekang knows that he will not care about this.

And who knows the situation on both sides? Even if Gu Jingyun went to kneel to the spirit, there were not many people who really believed in his filial piety.

Gu Jingyun really didn't want to kneel down in the past, and being able to pay homage to him was already a great deal of face for the Zhongyonghou Mansion and Gu Huaijin.

This is for the children of their family. After all, Yixin has just married not long ago, and his daughter and son will also talk about marriage in the future. It must not make people think that he does not recognize his biological father. Even if he thinks he is right, the world will think he is too ruthless, and thus have prejudice against the children.

Is it possible to wrong a few more children for a dead man?

Li Baolu came in with tea, seeing that the two were relatively speechless, she couldn't help blinking, she was racking her brains to say something, when Gu Lekang suddenly got up and said: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I should go back."

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun, seeing that he had nothing else to say, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you out."

Gu Jingyun also got up to see him off, Gu Lekang was a little flattered, stopped at the gate and said: "You guys stay here, the car is at the gate."

Gu Jingyun noticed Baolu's gaze, so he nodded and said, "You're fine."

Gu Lekang's eyes turned red, he stretched out his hand and bowed deeply to him, then turned around and strode into the carriage.

Watching the carriage gradually disappear into the alley, Li Baolu sighed: "He has changed a lot, if I meet him on the street, I wouldn't dare to recognize him."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "He was so stupid before, but he was still so conceited. If he doesn't change after going through all that, then it's hopeless. Fortunately, he is neither like his father nor his mother."

"It's as if he's not your father." Li Baolu glanced at him and said, "By the way, we have to bring the three children with us when we go to the funeral tomorrow. We have plain clothes, but those three children..."

Both Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu like to dress their children in the direction of vitality and beauty, so the three children rarely have plain clothes.

Even that is not the right season.

Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand to hold her hand, got into the carriage and left, "Then go to the tailor shop and buy it now, anyway, it will only be worn for one day, and it will be burned when it comes back from the mourning hall."

Li Baolu was speechless for a while, "I thought you had descended into the world of mortals, but who knew that you were still like a fairy, and you just need to burn your clothes when you go to sacrifice?"

Gu Jingyun squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you are the one who descended into the world of mortals. I have always been in the world of mortals. I want to burn my clothes because I have a cleanliness."
