The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 745 Mourning
"Cough! I'm actually not satisfied. It's only half a bottle." How can a bottle of medicine powder be full?Otherwise, when the cork is pulled out, it is too full and easy to spill out.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Send off the guests!"

He has confirmed his own thoughts, these two people are no longer important.

After leaving the room, Ming Mo raised the sword in his hand and sneered at the two of them.

"Remember what my adults said, otherwise it will be a trivial matter to clean up you."

The two hurriedly said: "We must bear in mind what your lord said, we dare not speak too much outside."

Ming Mo looked at the trembling looks of the two with satisfaction, and then gave them 20 taels of silver.

"Take it!" This is the hush money, which Gu Chengyu had ordered before.

The two were very surprised to see that there was still silver, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions, and each took ten taels.

Without mentioning the carriage to drive them back, the two quickly walked out of the yard through the just opened gate.

"Uncle, my father's clothes have been changed!" Sanlang said to Gu Chengyu when he left the room.

"Father! Second brother's cause of death is not decent after all. When relatives and friends come, we will only declare that he died suddenly. Do you think it is feasible?"

Gu Chengyu remembered that he hadn't discussed this matter with Father Gu and the others, but he believed that both Uncle Gu and Father Gu would agree.

Papa Gu closed his eyes, "Success! I will do as you say!"

Erlang walked into the yard, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, just now Gu Chengyu asked his servants to slap him twice, could it be that he was slapped for nothing?

Besides, he still doesn't know about his father's affairs, so how can he trust Gu Chengyu's one-sided words?

Who knows if his father took the medicine himself, or was it poured down by someone else?
His father had always disliked Gu Chengyu, why did his father die as soon as Gu Chengyu came back?There must be something strange in it.

But the members of the Gu family all turned to Gu Chengyu, even if he objected, the Gu family would not listen to him.

Besides, if this matter really becomes a big deal, his career in the imperial examination will also be affected.

When he becomes an official in the future, when people talk about his family background, they only say that his father went there because he overdosed on the medicine of tiger and wolf in order to have sex with his concubine. How disgraceful is that?

But is this the end of the matter?His father died in vain?After his father was buried, no one would pay any attention to him if he raised any opinions.

Erlang set his sights on Gu Chengyu, thinking about how he could get some benefits from this matter.

Although he refused to admit it, Gu Chengyu was indeed capable.Now that Gu Chengyu has become an official, he can always get some benefits by relying on it.

If this matter is handled well, it would be better for Gu Chengyu to recommend him to study in the Imperial College than to stay in the county, right?
The master said that he is not bad at learning, as long as he is down-to-earth and puts his mind on his career, it will be a matter of time before he is admitted to a scholar.

In fact, the master is still very optimistic about him, and this time he passed the government examination, the master is also relieved of the daughter's marriage.

It means that as long as he is admitted as a scholar, it is not impossible for him to marry his daughter.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. I didn't expect his father to die at this juncture.

This time he wasted an opportunity in vain, and he would have to wait another three years. Erlang felt depressed thinking about this.

It seems that the master's daughter is unexpected to Xiao, which is really a pity.He had seen the girl once, she was really nice.

Within an hour, the mourning hall of the Gu family was erected.

The news of Gu Chengyi's sudden death shocked everyone who knew him. They didn't expect Gu Chengyi to die so suddenly.

"Third brother! You have to be sad and obedient!" At this moment, Gu Changbai could understand Papa Gu's feelings.

Back then, he was also sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man. His old bones were still alive, but his young son died early.

Papa Gu wiped away the tears from his face, the second child was really not good to him before he was alive, and he also felt somewhat disgusted with this son.

But death is like a lamp going out, and all the grievances and resentments of the past have disappeared with the passing of the second child.

Because Brother Chang is still young, he cannot live without his mother's care, and Brother Chang was crying for his mother just now.

Gu Chengyu felt that as Gu Chengyi's concubine, it wouldn't make sense if Wang Yueniang and Li Shi were not allowed to show up.

Therefore, he asked Qingxia and Caiyun to look at Wang Yueniang and Li Shi respectively, so that they would not be afraid of them running away.

As for Wang Shi, she was a dispensable person, and by the way, Wang Shi was given freedom, and no one looked at her anymore.

Wang and Gu Chengyi are not married, so naturally they are not considered family members.Whether to go or stay at the moment, no one cares at all.

If Mrs. Wang ran back to her natal family, it would save the Gu family from having to deal with the mess left by Gu Chengyi.

But could Wang just go back like this?Of course not.

She gave Gu Chengyi her innocent body, and now Gu Chengyi is driving west, leaving her alone, so she can't plan for the future?
However, Mrs. Wang was sensible and didn't wander around in Gu's house.

Soon, the women of the clan tore off the white cloth and made mourning clothes for the Gu family.

Gu Chengyi is his brother, Gu Chengyu only needs to do great work.

The mourning period is nine months, and the Dayan Dynasty was not so strict about mourning for brothers. Gu Chengyu continued to be an official after returning to the capital.

It's just that you need to pay attention to your diet, and you still need to be a vegetarian.

Of course, no one will be so serious, it depends on the individual's sincerity.

For parents or grandparents, mourning is very strict. For parents, the filial piety period is three years, and for grandparents, it is one year.

During this period, even if he was an official in the court, he would have to worry about Ding.Unless the emperor seizes his love, he will have to wait until the expiration date, and then wait for the Ministry of Officials to re-arrange the position.

It's just that the original position has been overwhelmed, and it is very difficult to find a suitable position.

Therefore, what the officials fear most is Ding You. As long as the elders of the aristocratic families feel a little uncomfortable, the younger generations in the family will eagerly invite a doctor or even an imperial doctor.

Of course there must be filial piety, but fear of Ding You is also true.

Erlang and the others put on filial piety clothes and knelt in the mourning hall to burn paper. Even Brother Chang, who was only three years old, knelt in the mourning hall.

Erlang glanced at Wang Yueniang and Brother Chang who were kneeling beside him, and his mind could not help but turn to the money.

His father left more than 2000 taels of silver, if it is distributed to the three sons, how much can he get?The left is only about 800 taels.

Even if he is the eldest son of the second room, it is only more than 1000 taels at most.

In the future, Erfang will divide the dividends of soap every year into three.

This is impossible!The farther to the back, the cost of reading will only increase.

The human relationship between classmates is not a small sum, and the annual pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Shu Xiu, and the money for buying books are a large amount of expenses.

Erlang suddenly remembered that when Gu Chengyu was studying, the Gu family always followed him to use it first.

Now Saburo doesn't study anymore, and Brother Chang is still young, so he is the only one who is still studying.In any case, this money should be given to myself a little more.
