Chapter 270: Funeral

Master Gu met Haixibo in the court hall, and his eyebrows were cold, and he didn't give him a good face.
Hesyber was furious.
Okay, Gu Zhili, the old man didn't shake your face, but you pushed your nose to your face. Is it really good to be an old man?
Haixibo remembered Master Gu with great heart.
When he got off the court, he ordered people to collect the black materials of Mr. Gu. Check back directly and found that Master Gu had just started to be an official when he was young.
I didn't believe I couldn't catch Master Gu's handle.
Hexibo rushed back to the mansion angrily. When entering the door, ask the next person, "What's the situation with the second young master?"
The next person replied: "The situation is not very good. I have a fever and have not gone back."
Haixibo frowned, "How could this be? What did Doctor Wang say?"
"Emperor Wang said that the second young master’s wound was inflamed and caused a fever. He will try his best to reduce the fever for the second young master. Dr. Wang also said that these are normal symptoms, but the second young master’s illness is more serious than others."
Without going to the study, Haixibo went directly to the backyard to visit Zhao Erlang.
Mrs. Hesibo just cried, and when she saw Hesibo, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Why is the uncle here?"
"I'll see Jiro."
Mrs. Hecibo was heartbroken, "I feel very uncomfortable looking at Erlang's unconsciousness."
Hesyber said nothing, and went straight into the bedroom.
Gu Yue was wiping Zhao Erlang.
Seeing Hecibo was coming, she hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Free gift."
Gu Yue bowed and stood aside, "I have taken the medicine twice today, but there is no sign of waking up yet."
Hexibo looked at Gu Yue's haggard look, with large dark circles under her eyes, and sighed, "Leave these things to the next person. Go down and take a good rest."
"Daughter-in-law is worried about her husband. Anyway, she can't sleep. It's better to stay here. Daughter-in-law will know what's going on.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Daughter-in-law doesn't work hard."
Haixibo frowned and stared at Zhao Erlang, who was unconscious.
How many days have passed since I only woke up once. If this continues, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.
Haixibo checked Zhao Erlang's injury again, it was inflamed and pus, no wonder the high fever persisted.
He sighed again, walked out of the bedroom, and whispered to Mrs. Hesyber, "I have ordered someone to prepare first."
Mrs. Hecibo was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to prepare?"
"Prepare for the funeral of Jiro."
"what?"
Mrs. Hecibo was shocked, and tears fell as she watched.
She depressed and asked: "Why is this? Uncle is going to give up Jiro?"
"It's not that I want to abandon him, but his situation, I'm afraid it will be more ugly."
Gu Yue stood by the bed, silently stopping the conversation outside.
She gently wiped Zhao Erlang's cheeks, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Mrs. Hesyber said that she would not order anyone to prepare for the funeral.
Hexibo got angry, "You have seen Erlang's situation, too. When will you still deceive yourself?"
"The concubine is not deceiving himself or others. The concubine believes in the doctor's medical skills, and he can definitely save Erlang."
"It's been many days, and Jiro's injuries are getting heavier. Now that's the matter, I want to start."
"How can I want to drive? He is my child born in October."
"Do you think I don't feel bad? Pulling him hard, but in the end..."
At this time the butler hurried over, "Uncle Qi, madam, that one is here."
"Who?" Hesibo asked angrily.
The butler said with trepidation: "It's the noble person whom the second young master has made here."
"What?" Mrs. Hecibo was shocked.
Hexibo felt humiliated, "Rebellious son. He deserves it!"
The second young master of the dignified earl's mansion, Israel served the nobles, how can he not be angry as a father.
If I didn't see it with my own eyes in the past, it was considered that there was no such thing.
But now that everyone has come to the door, Hesyber can't escape.
He asked the butler, "What does that man come to do?"
"Said to visit the second young master." The butler's calf trembled.
"Humph!" Hexibo snorted heavily, "Tell him that Erlang was so injured that he was in a coma and couldn't see guests."
"Don't blame the uncle, I really remembered Jiro in his heart, and broke in without permission."
There was a slightly anxious voice outside, and he was full of breath.
Hesyber was furious.
Okay, dare to trespass.
"His Royal Highness King Yan came here uninvited, really a rare visitor."
Hexibo stood in the doorway with a cold face, already extremely angry.
In the bedroom, Gu Yue quietly came to the window, opened a small slit, and secretly looked outside.
I have long heard that Zhao Erlang has a friend outside, and he is still a noble person. But I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness Yan Wang.
Gu Yue was taken aback.
His Royal Highness Yan will come in person, will he discover the truth?
Calm, calm!
Even the doctor Wang hadn't noticed that Wang Yan certainly didn't have the ability.
Mrs. Haixibo walked into the bedroom and saw Gu Yue standing by the window, what she didn't know.
She angrily said: "What are you still standing for? Don't step back quickly."
Gu Yue looked aggrieved, like a little wife, and did not dare to resist. Only say: "Daughter-in-law is worried about her husband."
Mrs. Hecibo did not take this set, "Retreat. Don't be embarrassed when the noble comes."
With tears falling, Gu Yue walked out of the bedroom aggrieved.
I was swearing in my heart, not knowing who was ashamed.
Humph!
His Royal Highness Yan Wang insisted on going in to visit Zhao Erlang.
Hexibo couldn't stop it, so she could only get away.
His Royal Highness Yan Wang hurried to the bedroom.
Zhao Erlang's appearance now is not good-looking, his face is bruised and swollen, like a Yaksha evil spirit.
His Royal Highness Yan frowned slightly, "How can this be?"
"Injured, naturally." Hesibo said irritably.
His Royal Highness King Yan did not stay for too long, but he was also worried that Hexibo would be stimulated. Within a quarter of an hour, he left.
Mrs. Hesyber breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Hesyber's old story reiterated, "Prepare for the funeral."
She looked dull and sad, "Why is this? Is there really no hope?"
Hecibo sighed, "If there is half hope, wouldn't I fight for it?"
And even if he comes back from the rescue, Erlang has no legs, and it becomes a burden.
Haixibo didn't have deep feelings for Zhao Erlang.
Because of Zhao Erlang's special orientation, the father and son often clashed in daily life, and the relationship between father and son gradually faded.
Mrs. Haixibo couldn't, she could only order someone to prepare for Zhao Erlang's funeral.
That night, Zhao Erlang swallowed his last breath.
Gu Yue was crying and couldn't help herself.
She knelt on the ground, pinching her thighs desperately with both hands.
She was too sad for others.
However, the fact is that she is worried that she will laugh and be seen by others.
Early the next morning, the mourners came to the palace.
When Gu Jiu heard that Zhao Erlang was dead?
"Doctor Wang went out in person, but couldn't he rescue him?"
The subordinate who reported the funeral bowed and said, "My second young master has always had a high fever, and the doctor Wang is helpless."
Gu Jiu nodded and asked, "When will the funeral be out?"
The next person said: "Stop the spirit for seven days. Funeral in seven days."
Gu Jiu said, "My lady knows."
After that, Gu Jiu ordered someone to send a copy of the ceremony to Haixi Bofu.
Mother Fang asked, "Madam, do you want to go over and see?"
Gu Jiu said, "I'll take a look tomorrow. It's all courtesy."
...
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu rode a carriage to Haixi Bofu.
Regardless of how Hexibo and Master Gu fight in private, they didn't tear their faces on the face, and the Gu and Zhao family are still relatives.
Gu Jiu got off the car at Ermen and learned from the people who had come.
Because Gu Zhen was pregnant and inconvenient to leave the house, she only sent someone to the ceremony, but she did not come.
Led by his servant, Gu Jiu went to the mourning hall first and burned a stick of incense for Zhao Erlang.
No matter how scumbag Zhao Erlang was when he was alive, now he is dead. It is said that the dead are the greatest, and all dust returns to dust.
No one would mention Zhao Erlang's badness, but only think about his goodness.
Zhao Erlang has no queen, only Gu Yue, his wife, and two concubines.
The three knelt in the mourning hall, crying for Zhao Erlang.
When he saw Gu Yue, Gu Jiu was taken aback.
Gu Yue's eye sockets were sunken, there were obvious dark circles around her eyes, and her whole body was thin.
How torment it is, tossing myself into this appearance in just a few days.
At this moment, Gu Jiu began to doubt his judgment.
Does Gu Yue look like he is holding bad water?
In Gu Jiu's heart, he always suspected that Zhao Erlang's injury was not simple, and that it was Gu Yue's murderous man behind his back.
With Gu Yue's wicked temperament, she definitely did this kind of thing.
But looking at Gu Yue's haggard and sad look, she couldn't help but doubt her judgment.
Could it be that she wronged Gu Yue?
Gu Yue is really a peerless white lotus? Have you really changed your temperament and be the virtuous wife with all your heart?
how is this possible?
This is not the Gu Yue she knew.
"Third sister, please be sorry?"
Gu Yue returned the gift, "Thank you for your second sister's willingness to come here in person."
She has a hoarse voice, apparently kneeling for a long time and her mouth is dry.
Gu Jiu said, "The third sister takes care of her body anyway, at least drink some water."
Gu Yue looked more sad than heartbroken, "Thank you for your second elder sister's concern. I'm okay and I can hold it. It's just my mother, can my second sister help me persuade her. Let her not have trouble, at least not here. Something happened."
Gu Jiu was curious, "What's wrong with my wife?"
Gu Yue said sadly: "My mother loves me heartily, knowing that my husband has passed away, and I have no children, so I plan to let me pack my dowry and go back to my family.
My husband's bones are not cold, how can I leave this time. But my mother couldn't listen to what I said.
She will be negotiating with her mother-in-law. Second sister, you can watch for me, okay? I don't want my mother to offend everyone because of me. "
Gu Jiu stared at Gu Yue suspiciously.
Gu Yue didn't want to leave Haixi Bofu, but wanted to keep filial piety for Zhao Erlang, but also to keep his chastity?
Could this be Gu Yue?
When would Gu Yue, such a selfish person, be so considerate and so virtuous?
If all this is Gu Yue acting, Gu Jiu sighs, it’s amazing.
Gu Yue is really amazing.
It's a great skill to be able to act like the real one.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly and agreed, "Don't worry too much about the third sister, the wife is also thinking about you. I will go over and have a look, if there is news, I will send someone to tell the third sister."
"Thank you second sister. In the past, I was ignorant and disrespectful to second sister. Please forgive me."
Gu Jiu said, "My sister, you are welcome."
Leaving the mourning hall, Gu Jiu's face changed, and his brows frowned.
She looked back at Gu Yue, crying so sad.
How much hardship will it take to perform the play to this level.
If all this is Gu Yue acting, then Zhao Erlang's death must be strange.
However, Gu Jiu did not intend to pursue the truth.
When she came to the Flower Hall, Xie's was angrily negotiating with Mrs. Hesyber.
Xie’s seeing Gu Jiu is just like seeing the savior,
Second Aunt, Grandma, you can count. You and Mrs. Uncle have a good life. How can Gu Yue be a dead person for a lifetime at a young age.

Gu Jiu stepped forward and said, "Madame's sorrow."
Mrs. Heciber's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried for a long time.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, "Madam Zhao is interested, please sit down."
Gu Jiu sat down in the chair.
Mrs. Haixibo said: "My lady knows that you all love Erlang's wife, don't I feel bad? But our Zhao family, there is no remarried woman, not for daughters, not even for daughters-in-law. From the beginning, my wife explained this point. ."
Xie was annoyed, "Yue'er has no children and is young. In the past, she was often tortured by your mother and son. Why should she stay for Zhao Erlang for the rest of her life. Today I will leave the words here, and I will send someone over tomorrow. Move the dowry and take Yue'er home. In the future, the marriage will be irrelevant."
Mrs. Hecibo angrily said: "Don't think about it!"
Gu Jiu stopped Xie and said, "Mrs. Bo, my third sister has no children. Wouldn't it be too hard for you to keep her for a lifetime?"
Mrs. Hecibo said: "The child's affairs are easy to handle. I have arranged everything and let her adopt one directly."
"Can the adopted filial piety be? Absurd!" Xie's heart was suffocated.
Gu Shan sat on the side with a gloomy face.
It's Gu Yue again, why is it Gu Yue every time?
Why do you want to stand up for Gu Yue?
Wouldn't it be okay to let Gu Yue guard Zhao Erlang for the rest of his life? Why would you take Gu Yue home?
Mrs. Hessberg said naturally: "Adopted children are treated as biological support. When they are old, they will be filial."
Xie said angrily: "Absurd!"
Gu Jiu said: "This matter should be heard by the third sister."
Mrs. Haixibo insisted: "Our Zhao family has absolutely no remarried daughter-in-law, and she will die at the Zhao family.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "I wonder if the rules of the earl's mansion are great or the laws of the court are great? Madam, don't forget, the court encourages widows to marry again."
The frontiers fought every year, and the court needed population and taxes.
How does the population come? Naturally, it depends on husband and wife to give birth.
For the sake of population and taxes, Dazhou has always encouraged widows to marry again since the founding of the country.
Mrs. Hexibo was stunned for a moment, and then said forcefully: "This is the family affair of the earl's mansion. Even the court law can't control it."
Gu Jiu slowly shook his head, "If your wife goes to the Count's Palace to tell you to force the widows to keep their chastity, Mrs. Uncle, can you guess that the law will take care of the house's affairs?"
Mrs. Hesyber looked at Xie suddenly.
The Xie family was full of confidence, "Don't let Yue'er go back to her natal house, I will go to the Yamen to sue you at the earl's house tomorrow."
Mrs. Hecibo was furious, "Don't deceive people too much."
Xie pointed at each other, "You are deceiving too much. Since my family's Yueer married to your earl's mansion, how many times have you been beaten? For the sake of your in-laws, I didn't care about you. In the end, you still paid. Push her nose and face, and force her to guard Zhao Erlang for the rest of her life. Pooh! Zhao Erlang has a broken sleeve, is he worthy?"
"Don't be fooled."
Xie's and Mrs. Hessberg, you come and me, no one accepts others. It was too noisy.
Gu Jiu saw Grape looking outside the door and beckoned her to come in.
Grape hesitated, turned and ran.
Gu Jiu made a look, and Wang Yi chased him up.
Taking advantage of the two people's quarrel, Gu Jiu simply walked out of the flower hall.
Putao was blocked by Wang Yi and was very anxious.
Seeing Gu Jiu, I suddenly felt guilty, "The slave and maid worships Mrs. Zhao."
"Who asked you to come?"
"It's my young grandmother. The young grandmother ordered her servants to come over and see, what's the situation now?"
Gu Jiu tentatively asked, "Didn't Gu Ye save him? Why did he suddenly die again."
Grape buried his head, "The slave and maid don't know."
"You are serving with the third sister, can you not know?"
Putao nodded repeatedly, "The slave and maidservant really don't know. It's just that the emperor said that the second young master's condition is very serious."
"Oh?"
Gu Jiu stepped forward, came to Grape, and asked in a very low voice: "Zhao Erlang is dead, the third sister is very happy, right?"
Grape's face turned pale in an instant, and she shivered all over, "The slave and maid must go back to life and leave first."
This time, Gu Jiu didn't stop Grape.
Judging from Grape's reaction, her guess was correct, and Gu Yue was indeed holding back bad water.
Zhao Erlang's death is obviously not that simple.
