"Ahem! Actually, I'm not satisfied. It's only half a bottle." How can a bottle of medicinal powder be filled completely? Otherwise, when the bottle is too full and the cork is removed, it will easily spill out.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Send off guests!"
He has confirmed his 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 master said, otherwise dealing with you will be just a piece of cake."
The two people hurriedly said: "You must remember what you said, we don't dare to say too much outside."
Ming Mo looked at the two men's trembling faces with satisfaction, and then gave them twenty taels of silver.
"Take it!" This is the hush money, which Gu Chengyu had ordered before.
The two of them were very surprised to see that there was still money, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. Each of them took ten taels.
There was no mention of the carriage driving them back, and the two of them quickly left the courtyard through the newly opened courtyard gate.
"Uncle, my father's clothes have been changed!" Sanlang walked out of the house and said to Gu Chengyu.
"Dad! The cause of my second brother's death is not very honorable after all. When relatives and friends come, we can only announce that he died suddenly. Do you think it's feasible?"
Gu Chengyu remembered that he had not discussed this matter with Father Gu and the others, but he believed that both Uncle Gu and Father Gu would agree.
Father Gu closed his eyes, "Sure! Just do as you say!"
Erlang walked into the yard, and 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 his spanking was in vain?
Besides, he still doesn’t know anything about his father, so how can he trust Gu Chengyu and the others’ words?
Who knows whether his father took the medicine himself or was given by someone else?
His father had always disliked Gu Chengyu, so why did his father die as soon as Gu Chengyu came back? There must be something fishy.
But everyone in the Gu family is facing Gu Chengyu, and even if he objects, the Gu family will not listen to him.
Besides, if this matter really got serious, his career in the imperial examination would also be affected.
When he becomes an official in the future, when people talk about his family background, they only say that his father took excessive amounts of tiger and wolf medicine in order to have a romantic relationship with his concubine. How disgraceful is this?
But can this matter just be settled like this? His father's death was in vain? After his father is buried, no one will probably pay attention to him no matter what opinions he puts forward.
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 had become an official, he could always get some benefits by relying on him.
If this matter is handled well, it would be much better for Gu Chengyu to recommend him to the Imperial College in the future than to stay in the county seat, right?
The Master once said that he was not bad at studying. As long as he kept his feet on the ground and focused on his career, it would be a matter of time before he became a scholar.
In fact, the master is still very optimistic about him, and since he passed the government examination this time, the master is relieved about his daughter's marriage.
This 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 God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Unexpectedly, his father died at this juncture.
An opportunity was wasted this time. He had to wait another three years. Erlang felt depressed when he thought of this.
It seemed that he had never expected the master's daughter, which was really a pity. He had met that girl once, and she was really good-looking.
Within an hour, the Gu family's mourning hall was set up.
The news of Gu Chengyi's sudden death shocked everyone who knew him. They did not expect that Gu Chengyi died so suddenly.
"Third brother! Please show mercy and accept the change!" At this moment, Gu Changbai could understand how Father Gu felt.
Back then, he was the same person who sent a man with white hair to a man with black hair. His old bones were still alive, but his young son died early.
Father Gu wiped the tears from his face. The second son was indeed not very kind to him when he was alive, and he had some feelings of disgust towards this son.
But death is like a lamp going out, and all the past grudges and grudges disappear with the passing of the second child.
Because Brother Chang 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 would be unjustifiable if Wang Yueniang and Li were not allowed to appear.
Therefore, he asked Qingxia and Caiyun to watch Wang Yueniang and Li respectively, so that they would not be afraid of running away.
As for Wang, she was already a dispensable figure. By the way, Wang was given freedom and no one was watching her.
Wang and Gu Chengyi are not married yet, so they are not considered family members. At this moment, no one cares whether they are going or staying.
If the Wang family ran back to her parents' home, it would save the Gu family from having to deal with the mess left by Gu Chengyi.
But is it possible for the Wang family to just go back? Of course it's impossible.
She gave her innocent body to Gu Chengyi, and now that Gu Chengyi has gone to the west, leaving her uncared for, she has no choice but to plan for the future?
However, Mrs. Wang knew what was going on and didn't wander around Gu's house.
Soon, the women of the tribe pulled off the white cloth and made mourning clothes for the Gu family.
Gu Chengyi is his brother, Gu Chengyu only needs to submit to great merit.
The mourning period lasted for nine months. The Dayan Dynasty was not so strict about mourning brothers. Gu Chengyu continued to serve as an official after returning to the capital.
You just need to pay attention to your diet, and you still need to be a vegetarian.
Of course, no one would be so sincere, it all depends on whether the person is sincere or not.
The mourning period for parents or grandparents is very strict. The mourning period is three years for parents and one year for grandparents.
During this period, even if you serve as an official in the court, you will still have to worry about it. Unless the emperor seizes your love, you will have to wait until the expiration of the term and then wait for the staff to re-arrange the position.
It's just that the original position has already been filled, so it's very difficult to find a suitable position.
Therefore, what officials are most afraid of is Ding You. As long as the elders of those aristocratic families feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, the younger members of the family will rush to call in the doctor or even the imperial doctor.
Of course, filial piety is definitely there, but fear of Ding You is also true.
Erlang and the others put on their mourning clothes and knelt in the mourning hall to burn paper. Even Brother Chang, who was just over three years old, was also kneeling in the mourning hall.
Erlang glanced at Wang Yueniang and Brother Chang who were kneeling aside, and his mind turned to money.
His father left more than two thousand taels of silver. If he divided it among his three sons, how much would he get? It would only be about a hundred taels.
Even if he is the eldest son of the second wife, he will only have more than a thousand taels at most.
From now on, every year the soap dividend will be divided into three parts by the second house.
This can’t be done! As time goes by, the cost will only increase.
The amount of favors between classmates is not a small sum, and the annual pen, ink, paper, inkstone, bundles, and money for buying books are a huge expense.
Erlang suddenly remembered that when Gu Chengyu was there before, the Gu family always followed him first.
Now that Sanlang is gone, Brother Chang is still the only one who is still alive. In any case, he should give himself more of this money. 15
