My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

"What the father said is that the son is stupid."

Seeing that he calmed down, the seventh old man said calmly.

"Don't worry about anything now, just look around you. It's been so many years since my eldest brother died, and we just pulled out two hidden stakes. I don't know how many are left. My sister-in-law died, and I deliberately revealed some clues." , but we want to see if the couple can detect it. If they activate those hidden stakes, we can follow the clues."

What the Seventh Old Master is planning is not at all the power in Jinling City, but the more magnificent ones on the other side. After all, if the eldest brother can firmly follow the founding emperor and gain today's favor, he may not be able to do so.

After receiving this clear guidance, Gu Yanguang became much more cheerful and soon knew what he should do.

The days flew by, and soon it was time for Mrs. Gu's funeral.

Paper money and mournful music filled the sky in front of the eyes and ears of the people. Naturally, there were roadside festivals set up by various families on the roadside, and there were also funeral processions organized by the people themselves.

When Mrs. Gu was still alive, she was very kind and charitable. The Gu family had a strict family tradition and never bullied the people. Therefore, everyone still had a good impression of the Gu family.

In addition, in order to maintain peace on the border, the Gu family buried so many people. Even though they had forgotten a little in the past few years, with the death of Mrs. Gu, these old thoughts rushed back to everyone's minds. .

Therefore, compared to the jealous and pale-faced Gu family, some of the mourners cried even more uncontrollably.

Before going out today, Gu Shaoyu asked his wet nurse and her four children to respectfully kowtow to her grandmother in front of the mourning hall before starting the funeral.

When leaving, I asked my father-in-law and mother-in-law to take good care of the children at home, and left Luo Yuan and others to guard them.

Naturally, he walked at the front in mourning, holding Mrs. Gu's memorial tablet, followed closely by the rest of the Gu family.

Today, the eldest aunt also appeared in the funeral procession dressed in plain clothes. She was helped by people on both sides and moved forward little by little.

Du Jingyi originally arranged a soft sedan for her, but the eldest aunt insisted on leaving by herself, so she had no choice but to invite three or four doctors to follow the team so that they could take care of the sick aunt and the pregnant Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun at any time. .

Walking all the way north, stopping and going.

The ancestral grave of the Gu family is located in Qingshui Town in Jinling City, so everyone walked forward step by step in this section of the city. When they arrived outside the city, they got on the carriage one after another and rushed to Qingshui Town.

It's not that far in terms of distance, it only takes half an hour.

But the sick and pregnant aunt and others were tortured, so when the carriage stopped in front of the Gu family ancestral hall, the three of them looked ugly.

Du Jingyi made a prompt decision and asked the mother-in-law and maidservant who were serving them to be sent to the side room to rest, and then asked the doctor to diagnose and treat them together. As for her, she followed her husband Gu Shaoyu to first send Mrs. Gu's memorial tablet into the ancestral hall, and then Wait for an auspicious time to be buried.

This is Du Jingyi's first time back to the Gu family's ancestral hall.

As she slowly climbed up the steps, the ancestral hall of aristocratic families that had stood for hundreds of years finally appeared in front of her.

In the past, she only knew that the Gu family was a prominent family in Jinling City, a family that had survived for hundreds of years, but she did not have a clear understanding of it. It was only now that she felt something when looking at this complicated and solemn ancestral hall. It is the glory of hundreds of years.

At this point, the respect in my heart became even higher, and I accompanied my husband in an upright and solemn manner to bring the memorial tablet of my grandmother, Mrs. Gu, inside, and placed it next to the tablet of Marshal Gu.

And here, the other Gu family members who had had a slight quarrel with them at home were standing aside with solemn expressions. It was obvious that they all respected Mrs. Gu from the bottom of their hearts, so there was no trace of blasphemy.

However, these people did not include the evil-minded Seventh Old Master. When he looked at the tablets of Marshal Gu and Mrs. Gu side by side, he had no disturbance in his heart.

After retracting his eyes, he looked at the swaying longevity palace lantern not far away, and wrote "Gu Clan Prosperity and Position", which protected the future and destiny of all the descendants of the Gu family.

Seeing this, he felt a little more sarcastic in his heart.

How can heaven be better than man? If you want your Gu family to prosper, you have to give it a try.

It's a pity that he has learned to keep all his emotions in his heart for decades, so no one can see anything wrong on his face. They just think that he just had a dispute with Gu Shaoyu two days ago, so that's why Calm and expressionless.

With the sound of "ceremony completed", Mrs. Gu's tablet was placed properly. She will stay here and share the worship and memorial service of the Gu family's descendants with Marshal Gu from generation to generation.

The auspicious time is set to be two hours later, so everyone who has been rushing all the way finally has time to rest.

After returning to the wing, Du Jingyi first called the doctor to ask about the situation of his eldest aunt and others. After getting a relatively positive answer, he felt relieved.

Then he gave instructions to Cherry.

"Let the small kitchen of the ancestral hall bring some food to everyone. The ceremony will start later, which will take two or three hours at least. Please rest on your stomach so that you don't get very hungry by then."

Those who have passed away must express their condolences, while those who are alive must also take care of their own bodies.

"Yes, young lady."

After Yingtao exited, Du Jingyi walked up to Gu Shaoyu. After sitting down, he held his hand and said comfortingly.

"Although we can no longer fulfill our filial piety, it is good for my grandmother to be reunited with my grandfather underground. She has devoted her whole life to the family, so the general should be lenient."

Du Jingyi could feel that Gu Shaoyu's mood had become much lower since he came to this ancestral hall. Although his expression did not fluctuate much, as the person beside his pillow, he could still feel this emotion.

Gu Shaoyu didn't say much, he just held her hand back and digested the emotions quietly.

After simply enjoying some pastries, the two closed their eyes and rested for a while.

When the auspicious time was about to come, Yingtao came in and woke the two of them up, and then went to the ancestral grave where they were buried after a little tidying up.

Outside Qingshui Town, there is a hundred acres of land, which is the cemetery of the Gu family.

It's just that some are main branches and some are collateral branches, and the place where Mrs. Gu will be buried is in the center of the entire cemetery. The emperor ordered the craftsmen who repaired the imperial mausoleum to specially build the place where the heroes of the Gu family are located.

The bones of Marshal Gu and the sons of the Gu family who died in the battle are all buried here.
