Chapter 323: Cruel

Gu Jiu hurried to the back alley of the Hou Mansion.
She got out of the carriage, walked into the small courtyard, and asked Er Zhuang: "What's the matter? Didn't she say that her condition has improved before?"
Er Zhuang said: "The day before yesterday, Princess Fuya came to visit Mr. Luo. After that, Mr. Luo's condition worsened and even clamored to leave the capital."
Gu Jiu frowned and walked into the bedroom.
There was a strong medicinal smell in the bedroom. Gu Jiu knew that he was using the best medicinal materials after smelling the smell.
Mr. Luo was lying on the bed, unconscious.
These days after recuperation, she hasn't gained weight, but is still too thin.
Gu Jiu didn't say anything, and went straight to check the pulse.
For a while, she looked solemn.
This is no longer a doctor's problem, but Mr. Luo doesn't want to live anymore.
Before, why did I not want to live after seeing Princess Fuya?
Gu Jiu asked Er Zhuang, "Do you know what Mr. Luo talked with Princess Fuya? Mr. Luo is clamoring to leave the capital. Did you say why?"
Er Zhuang shook his head, "When Her Royal Highness was talking to Mr. Luo, she drove everyone out of the room. No one knew what they said. Mr. Luo was just clamoring to leave the capital, but she didn't say why."
Gu Jiu felt heavy.
She still picked up the pen and re-prescribed a prescription.
After that, Mr. Luo began to have needles.
Mr. Luo woke up leisurely, his eyes lost.
It took a long time to recognize Gu Jiu, "You are here!"
"Master, you should take good care of your body and get well soon."
Mr. Luo shook his head slowly, "It's boring to live, it's better to die."
"The ants still steal their lives, why did the Master give up his life?"
"It's all gone, leaving me alone. What's the point of being alive?"
Nothing?
Gu Jiu didn't understand.
"Master is in trouble, tell me, I will do it for you."
"I can't do it. Father, mother, and brothers are all dead. What's the point of leaving me alone in the world."
Gu Jiu then remembered that Luo Fuzi's family had been exiled into the Miasma. She was the only one, protected by Princess Fuya, and was able to stay in the capital and enter the Houfu to teach.
Could it be that Mr. Luo's family are dead?
Princess Fuya came to visit Mr. Luo and brought such bad news to Mr. Luo.
Gu Jiu said in a deep voice, "People cannot be resurrected from death. Master, please be sorry. If you need to send someone to collect the corpse, I can do it for you."
Mr. Luo shook his head, "No, they have been dead for several years, with no bones left. All my family members are dead, and I am the only one left. It is meaningless to live.
Xiao Jiu, thank you for taking care of me these days, and for bothering you later. When I die, burn me.
The ashes were scattered on the Weishui River and flowed into the sea with the Weishui River. Maybe one day, I can meet my father and mother, and it would be nice to ask them. "
Gu Jiu's eyes were moist, and he solemnly said, "Master, cheer up. You won't die with me. Are you really willing to give up your student?"
Mr. Luo held Gu Jiu's hand and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's hard for you. I have to worry about you when I am alive, and I will bother you when I die. Don't tell her about my death, okay?"
Gu Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "Master, why are you giving up on yourself? You can still live."
Mr. Luo shook his head, "It's too tired to live, death is relief."
Gu Jiu cried bitterly, "Master, I don't allow you to die, you must live forever."
Mr. Luo closed his eyes and there was no sound. She fell into a coma again.
Gu Jiu wiped the corner of her eyes, she didn't understand how Luo Fuzi could easily give up her life.
Some people struggle to survive, no matter how difficult they are, they have to live. But some people can easily give up their lives.
Is it really that hard to live?
Gu Jiu couldn't understand.
Because she is the kind of person who will survive no matter how hard it is.
If you can live, you will never die.
In order to stay alive, sometimes we might as well stay temporarily.
But Mr. Luo chose to die.
She has no family, no relatives, she has no worries in this world, so she believes that death is relief. Death is a better choice than living.
Gu Jiu wiped away her tears. She respected Mr. Luo's decision and wanted to make the last effort.
Even if her efforts are just to do her own destiny, she does not want to give up so easily.
She would regret it if she had to give up like this.
Because everyone has their own persistence.
Gu Jiu guarded Mr. Luo, and did not leave until the evening to return to the palace.
After getting off the carriage at the Second Gate of the Royal Palace, she did not go to greet Pei, but went straight back to the east courtyard.
I met Xiao Qin'er on the road.
Xiao Qin'er called to her, "Sister-in-law, where do you come back from? Look at your expression, is it possible that who provokes you?"
Gu Jiu nodded slightly and said hello. She didn't say a word, just passed by.
Xiao Qin'er was stunned, then angry again.
"Sister-in-law is impatient to talk to me now? Sister-in-law is so temperamental, do you look down on me?"
However, Gu Jiu didn't stop at all, far away.
Xiao Qin'er stomped with anger.
"It's really deceiving. So rude, what qualifications do you have to be a sister-in-law."
She snorted, going to the concubine to file a complaint.
Gu Jiu was in a bad mood. She soaked herself in the tub for a long time, and refused to get up.
Green plum and green bamboo had to repeatedly add hot water to prevent Gu Jiu from catching cold.
It was already dark, and the second door had been locked. All the courtyards have eaten dinner and are ready to go to bed.
Gu Jiu finally got up from the bathtub and brought a large amount of water.
Qingmei quickly wrapped Gu Jiu with a bath towel.
"Madam, pay attention to your body anyhow. The slave and maid knows that you are sad for Mr. Luo, but the matter is over, Madam should want to start. At least that is Mr. Luo's own choice. Mr. Luo is unaccompanied and lives too miserable."
"Is it really so miserable to live alone in the world?" Gu Jiu asked softly.
Qingmei nodded frequently, "Especially for women, it is really not easy to live alone in the world. When you are young, you can still work on your own to earn money to support yourself. When you are old, you can't work and you don’t have children and grandchildren. It’s really miserable for my brother and nephew to die. It’s really better to live like that."
Qingmei has Qi Qiyan in her heart.
Gu Jiu nodded, "I see."
It’s no wonder that people at this time prefer sons over daughters. Boys not only mean the inheritance of the family line, the inheritance of blood, but also the retirement, inheritance, and legal principles.
A widow and lonely old man cannot even keep his family property if he has no descendants. The people will divide up her family property completely, which is recognized by the law.
This is not a future generation. The lonely old man can make a will by himself and give his property to a dog, a cat, or a stranger.
Not in this age, property can only be inherited to future generations. If there are no offspring, then it must be left to brothers and nephews. If there is no brother or nephew, it will be divided among the people.
If the old man has only one daughter, it is impossible for the daughter to inherit all the old man’s inheritance.
A kinder tribe, letting their daughter inherit one-third of the inheritance is already a good grace. The remaining heritage is divided among the tribe.
A more cruel clansman, a sentence of water thrown out by a married daughter can prevent the married girl from getting a penny.
Mr. Luo learned that both his parents had died, his brothers and nephews had died, and the Luo family had never been the last. There are only some tribesmen who have not been in contact for decades and have come out of the five clothes.
For Mr. Luo, she has no home, even her clan.
In the world, she was alone, and the motivation to support her to live was gone, and she had no meaning to live.
She could neither continue the Luo family's blood, nor reverse the case for the Luo family.
Frustrated, she decisively chose death to follow her parents and brothers.
Mr. Luo's choice once again made Gu Jiu realize the cold side of this era.
This era has never been kind to women.
Gu Jiu gently wiped the wet hair.
She is not Mr. Luo.
Because this era is too cruel to women, she has to work hard and fight.
She wants to fight a broad road that no man can rely on and no one dares to touch her.
She wants countless men in the world to submit to her feet.
In order to achieve this goal, she must first have money, money that can never be spent in a lifetime.
Secondly, she has to be powerful, so powerful that no one dares to make her money.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, discarded the bath towel and put on a cotton shirt.
She called Rong Xin and asked, "How are the four little yellow sects trained? Can it be of great use?"
Rong Xin bowed and said, "Ms. Hui, I've been adjusted to the same level, and it can be used."
"From tomorrow, ask them to come to me as errands. Later, you will take people down to Jiangnan, do you have any objections?"
It was already very late at this time, and the entire capital had fallen into a deep sleep.
Rong Xin thought about it, "The younger one does not understand jewelry, does not understand sea trade, nor shipbuilding, and the younger one is afraid of letting down his wife's expectations."
Gu Jiu said: "It's okay, you have a year to study slowly. This time you will go to Jiangnan with 20 people.
Among them are artisans and shopkeepers who deal with jewelry all the time. There are also pirates who are familiar with sea trade and sea ships.
You go south with them and learn all aspects of knowledge with them. But your most important task is to supervise and manage everything. When encountering major events, you must decide in one word. "
Yes, among the personnel recruited by the Second Zhuang for Gu Jiu, there is a pirate who lacks a hand.
If the pirate has no hands, there is no way to continue to seek life at sea.
I don't know where Er Zhuang found this person. After half a year of investigation, it was still reliable. Gu Jiu decided to keep this person.
This time, this pirate was a guide.
To open up the situation in Jiangnan, the former pirate also needs to make a way forward.
Rong Xin is still a little frustrated, "The little one is afraid of doing bad errands and missed his wife's plan."
"Are you worried about being alone and unable to make decisions when encountering major events?"
Rong Xin nodded, did not hide his guilty conscience and timidity. Before that, he was the little yellow sect who served people, and he had never taken on a big deal.
Now that Gu Jiu put such a heavy burden on his shoulders, he felt a lot of pressure.
I was trembling all day for fear of not doing well.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Let's do it, I'll arrange someone for you, and you will go to Jiangnan with him."
Rong Xin is curious about who the lady arranged.
Gu Jiu did not sell Guanzi, "In a few days, Huang Zhuo will come back from the northwest. At that time, he will go down Jiangnan with you."
When Rong Xin heard that Huang Zhuo would go down Jiangnan with him, he instantly gained confidence.
Gu Jiu continued: "Tomorrow you will live outside the house, and get acquainted with the twenty people first, and learn more about the situation you will face. I hope you can open up the situation as soon as possible after you arrive in Jiangnan. As for money, you don’t need money. Worry, I will soon have a large sum of money credited here."
Although Rong Xin didn't know where the large sum of money in Gu Jiu's mouth came from, it did not prevent him from believing Gu Jiu's words.
Gu Jiu always insists on doing what he says, and he is very credible. If there is a large sum of money in the account, there must be money in the account. This is definitely not to say yes.
It is late at night.
Rong Xin took the errand and went back to the room to rest.
Gu Jiu should also fall asleep.
Only this night, she tossed and turned, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She was still thinking of Mr. Luo in her heart.
When a person doesn't want to live, it's useless even if a descends to the earth.
Gu Jiu's hunch came true.
When I got up early in the morning, Er Zhuang sent a message that Mr. Luo was gone.
Mr. Luo passed away in his sleep and was peaceful when he left.
Even if he had been prepared, Gu Jiu sat idly for a while when he heard the news.
She wiped her face, not knowing why, she was very sad, very sad, and had the urge to cry.
She resisted, did not let the tears fall.
What she was saddened was not the death of Mr. Luo, but the fate of Mr. Luo.
Fucked fate, I am very proud to play with people.
Do you have to push people to a desperate situation to give up?
Gu Jiu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Send someone to prepare for the funeral. Another person is sent to inform the Hou Mansion, Gu Mansion."
Qiaomei asked cautiously: "Do you want to inform Princess Fuya?"
Gu Jiu looked at Madam Fang, "Do you think you need to be notified?"
Madam Fang shook her head slightly, "The maidservant thinks she shouldn't notice."
"Mr. Luo's death, Princess Fuya will know sooner or later. You can't hide this." Qingmei retorted.
Madam Fang said: "The matter between Princess Fuya and Mr. Luo is not easy to talk about. The servant girl does not know how Princess Fuya will react to the news of Mr. Luo's death. The servant girl is worried, if there is a case. , Will it hurt Madam."
Gu Jiu was very straightforward and made a decision directly, "We don't take the initiative to notify Princess Fuya, but we don't deliberately conceal it. If others want to notify, don't stop it. Let's go, let me see Mr. Luo for the last ride."
Gu Jiu rode out of the Hou Mansion in the carriage, upset.
Mr. Luo's desire for death was so strong that the medicine stone had been ineffective in just a few days, and he passed away in his sleep.
She had no feelings in her heart.
In any case, she could not fall to the point of Mr. Luo and die alone.
Therefore, even if one day the building will be overwhelmed and the Ning Palace cannot be saved, you must save yourself and your children. If she has children then.
When he came to the familiar courtyard, the Houfu learned that Mr. Luo passed away and sent someone to deal with the funeral.
Gu Jiu looked at the servants of the Hou Mansion and asked Er Zhuang: "Aren't the others here?"
"Is the lady asking the girls?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Mr. Luo teaches everyone a lesson. At any rate, he has the status of mentor and apprentice. Mr. Luo has passed away. As a disciple, he should come and give Mr. Luo the last ride."
Er Zhuang said: "The girls are still here, but I haven't heard from them yet."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and said to Qingmei: "You take someone to review the mansion and call Gu Shan and Gu Lin. Tell them that Mr. Luo is gone."
Qingmei responded and asked, "Should I invite Grandma Sangu over?"
The grandmother Sangu in Qingmei's mouth refers to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue is now a widow, it is not appropriate to call a girl, nor is it appropriate to call a young lady. It is the most appropriate to call grandma and aunt according to the name after marriage.
Gu Jiu said: "It doesn't matter if she can't make it, don't force it. Gu Shan and Gu Lin must come over. The two of them have been taught by Mr. Luo for more than two years, and they can't help but send Mr. Luo the last ride."
"The servant girl got it."
Qingmei took someone to Gu Mansion to call someone.
Gu Jiu ignored the Hou Mansion.
The girl from the Hou Mansion, she hasn't got her turn to take care of.
Put Mr. Luo's body in the funeral and arrange the mourning hall.
As a student, Gu Jiu came forward to burn incense and worship.
Gu Shan, Gu Lin is here.
They both looked shocked when they saw the mourning hall that had been arranged.
"Is Mr. Luo really gone? Didn't it mean that his condition improved? How could it be so sudden?"
Gu Shan couldn't accept it, and looked at the arranged mourning hall in disbelief.
Gu Jiu was burning the paper and reminded softly, "Burn incense for Mr., and give him the last ride."
Gu Shan's eyes were red, burning incense to worship, and then knelt down and burned paper.
Gu Lin was a little at a loss, and followed Gu Shan to draw a gourd.
Gu Shan said sadly: "I still hope that my husband will continue to teach us after he is well. I didn't expect that the time she left the Hou Mansion was the last time we met. If I knew it, I should come and visit him sooner. "
"People can't come back from death, I just hope that my husband will never suffer any more in another world." Gu Jiu said calmly, looking at the coffin.
There was a cry from the entrance of the courtyard.
"Is she really gone?"
Gu Jiu followed the sound to see that it was Princess Fuya. She came over so quickly.
