Chapter 686: Fanwai Gu Lekang (1)

“Master, the officials are here.” Erxi knocked gently on the car door.

Gu Lekang opened his eyes, pushed open the door and stepped on the footstool to get out of the car, looked up at the two words on the yamen, lowered his head and adjusted his clothes, and then stretched his feet up the steps.

As a result, he only walked two steps, and when he saw a person walking out, he couldn’t help but stop and look at the person opposite.

Hearty and clear, dragon and phoenix posture, as Green Bamboo Yiyi said, I am afraid it is him. After so many years, he is still the same as before, as if he will not grow old.

Obviously the same age, he is still two months younger than him, but now he looks much older. And he was still handsome.

Gu Lekang hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn’t come forward, but gave him a salute from a distance, and couldn’t help laughing at himself, I’m afraid 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 to the steps above Gu Lekang and looked down at him, seeing that he had a white cloth tied around his waist, he nodded slightly as a punch. After greeting, he asked, “When will the mourning hall be set up?”

Gu Lekang was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: “Start the arrangement today, and the guests will come to pay their respects tomorrow.”

Gu Jingyun nodded and said with a stern face: “Tomorrow I will come to the door to pay homage.”

Gu Lekang’s eyes were hot, and he slammed it to the end, “Yes, I will wait for my brother to come to the door from my brother’s house.”

Gu Jingyun gave him a deep look, then turned to leave. The other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but misunderstanding, just misunderstood, especially to explain it would seem to cover up.

Gu Lekang watched his figure disappear before wiping the corner of his eyes and entering the official department.

He has been an official since he passed the jinshi examination. Although he has many opportunities to return to Beijing, he does not want to come back.

There are too many familiar people in a familiar place in the capital, and with Gu Jingyun around, he really couldn’t see him, especially when his father was already crazy.

He could only take them far away.

But now that his father has passed away, he wanted to directly support the coffin to go back to his hometown, but his last wish was to return to the capital, and he would have to fulfill his last wish no longer.

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

Gu Lekang settled down, and when he stepped into the official department, his face was flat, even if his face was a little sad, everyone just thought that he was because of the death of his father.

Gu Lekang went through the resignation procedures before leaving the Ministry of Officials.

Father died, he had to observe filial piety for three years.

When Gu Lekang returned to Zhongyonghou Mansion, the mourning hall had already been built. He used to be a prefect in Taiyuan Mansion, not very far from the capital. As soon as his father died, he handed over the affairs to his subordinates and went north with the coffin.

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

When he got up, he saw his grandfather walking tremblingly with the hand of the big brother. Gu Lekang quickly stepped forward to support him, “Grandfather, why are you here?”

Old Marquis 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 have a look? I have been terrified of dying because I was afraid of delaying you. It’s your father.”

Gu Lekang stretched out his hand to support him, lowered his eyes and said, “Grandfather, birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, and my grandson is still young, so I always feel that there are still many things that I haven’t learned yet. I can study while I keep filial piety for three years.”

Lord Gu nodded in relief, “It’s best if you can think so, dear boy, you are much better than your father and uncles.”

Gu Lekang glanced helplessly at Brother Hall, and helped him turn around and said, “Grandfather, go back and rest, just have a grandson here to take care of it.”

My father died, it’s impossible to say that I’m not sad, but it’s impossible to say how sad I am. The feelings have been tossed for the past few years.

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

The two brothers helped Old Marquis Gu back to the house. When Gu Lekang was about to retreat, the old Marquis grabbed his hand, looked at him with cloudy eyes and said, “Kang’er, you can send someone to inform you on Lingsheng Street. already?”

“No,” Gu Lekang lowered his eyes and said, “The grandson will go to the Ministry of Officials as soon as he comes back, and I haven’t had time yet…”

“Then go there in person,” Old Marquis Gu sighed and said, “Although he has been divided into sects, he is also your father’s son, and his blood is there. If he is notified that he will not come, it is his fault, right? But it would be our fault if we didn’t notify.”

“Yes, grandson will visit in person later.”

Lord Gu lay down and waved them back.

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

Gu Lekang hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn’t go to Qin Mansion, but sent someone to send a message to Qin Mansion, “Tell Master Gu, just say I’ll be waiting for him in Gu Mansion.”

Er Xi agreed and drove the carriage to Qin Mansion.

The old head Li, who was the gatekeeper, saw Gu Lekang dressed in filial attire, and hurriedly let him into the room to sit, otherwise it would not look good standing at the door.

The Qin mansion 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 wiped his hands with the handkerchief: “I forgot, according to normal etiquette, they come first. Just inform me, I can go. Who is here, go and tell him, I will go to pay homage tomorrow. ”

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

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows, turned his head to Baolu and said, “He is polite.”

Li Baolu just 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, come and have a look with me.”

Li Baolu may not have seen Gu Lekang for many years. He left the capital after he passed the jinshi examination and never met again.

Seeing the middle-aged man sitting upright on the stool in the doorman, she had a hard time connecting him with the arrogant and conceited teenager 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, wondering if he was the only one getting old all these years?

Why are these two still so young?

“Sit in the room,” Li Baolu dragged the silent Gu Jingyun, led the two of them to the study, and then went down to make tea for the two of them in person.

Gu Lekang got up quickly and said, “No need for sister-in-law, I, I just came to give a notice and left.”

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun and said with a smile, “Since you’re here, sit down 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 froze and the room was silent.

Gu Lekang couldn’t help sweating on his forehead. He has been in office for nearly ten years, and he has a lot of knowledge, but at this time sitting opposite Gu Jingyun is like sitting on a needle felt, his heart is lifted high, and he is uneasy.

Gu Jingyun glanced at him, put away his aura, and asked, “Is the old marquis asking you to go this way?”

“Yes,.

“What else is there to say?”

“No,” Gu Lekang hesitated before saying, “You have already divided your ancestry, so you don’t need to kneel, so tomorrow you can dress plainly and go to the door to pay homage.”

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly.

This is also an example to follow. Although Guiling has a better reputation for Gu Jingyun, and maybe he can 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 goes to kneel, there are not many people who really believe in his filial piety.

Gu Jingyun really didn’t think about going to kneel, and being able to go to pay homage is already a big face for Zhongyong Houfu and Gu Huaijin.

This is for their children. After all, Yixin just got married not long ago. In the future, his daughter-in-law will also want to say kiss. You can’t make people think that he does not recognize his biological father. Even if he admits that he is right, the world will think that he is too much. Too ruthless, and thus prejudiced against several children.

Is it possible that you have to grieve a few children for a dead man?

Li Baolu brought tea in. Seeing that the two were 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, and 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. When he reached the gate, he stopped and said, “You guys stay, the car is at the gate.”

Gu Jingyun noticed Bao Lu’s gaze, he nodded and said, “You are fine.”

Gu Lekang’s eyes reddened, he reached out and gave him a deep salute, then turned around and strode into the carriage.

Watching the carriage gradually disappear at the entrance of the alley, Li Baolu sighed: “He has changed a lot, if I met 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 in the past, but he was so conceited, and it would be hopeless if he didn’t change after going through those things. Fortunately, he is neither like his father nor Not like 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 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.

There is also the wrong season.

Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and also got on the carriage to leave, “Then go to the ready-to-wear store and buy it now. Anyway, it will only be worn for one day, and it will burn when you return from the mourning hall.”

Li Baolu was speechless for a while, “I thought you had already descended into the world, but who knew you were still like an immortal, just going to pay homage to burn your clothes?”

Gu Jingyun squeezed her hand and smiled and said, “Silly girl, you are the one who descended into the mortal world. I have always been in the mortal world. I want to burn my clothes because I have a habit of cleanliness.”
