Chapter 881

"The world is vast and the journey is long. Ziyi often said during his lifetime that 'Good men are determined to be in all directions'. My uncle should not be bound to be bound in a small area." The young woman gave a sincere reminder.

The sincere feelings made Chao Lian's eyes turn red again.

Gu Ren's eldest son could only stand up and break the heavy atmosphere.

"When did Uncle Chao be so sentimental? You should be happy when you reunite. Recently, I asked the chef to learn a few vegetarian dishes from the kitchen of the official office. Uncle Chao should try it." The mourning ceremony in the mansion was not withdrawn, and everyone was in the mourning period, so they could only eat vegetarian food.

Qishan is not short of treatment here. Even if they cannot get meat, they should try their best to give their food and not to criticize the outside world. Chao Lian understands his nephew's feelings and shows his interest.

The eldest nephew stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to urge me."

Only the widows of Chao Lian and Gu Ren were left in the hall.

"Does my sister-in-law think about the future?"

There are some topics that he wants to avoid his eldest nephew.

The young woman understood his hint at once.

"What did Ziyi say at the time of his death?"

Chao Lian shook his head: "At that time, the war was urgent and there was no time to leave a last word. But the elder brother mentioned before that, saying that his sister-in-law was in full swing. If he had any good fortune in the Dragon Slaying Bureau, his sister-in-law would find a good person while she was young, so don't waste time."

It is normal for widows to remarry in this era.

Especially widows who have had children are more popular.

This proves that her ex-husband’s horoscope is light and she cannot afford to bear the good life of a widow. Only those who are truly noble can suppress it. If she is willing, she will be a member of a wealthy family. Chao Lian hopes that his sister-in-law will live a more relaxed life, but she will respect her choices more.

The young woman smiled bitterly: "This is like something Ziyi can say, but he has just been in his new life for half a year. How could I have the intention to consider remarrying? If I take a step back, it will be difficult to find a good man who is more open and in line with his wishes than him. Now I just want to raise the three sons and two daughters left by Ziyi. They respect me as their mother from the bottom of their hearts, how can I abandon it?"

She gave birth to her three sons and two daughters.

The two wives in the previous two wives were good people, and the children left behind were pure and had never made things difficult for her second family. They respected and filial to her. If they were sincere, as long as they raised them well, they would be respected old Fengjun in the future.

In comparison, remarrying is like a big gamble.

If she had a few things in her new husband's family, Gu Ren's old subordinate would not be able to stand up for her, and she would be blocked by a word of "family affairs". If she was still Gu Ren's identity as a vassal, everything would be different. Even her father strongly supported this matter.

She recognized the kindness of my uncle.

Chao Lian: "Qing's mistakes, please forgive me for my sister-in-law."

The two tacitly never mentioned remarriage again.

Chao Lian lived in the mansion for three days.

On the fourth day, pack your bags and set off.

After confirming that his sister-in-law and nephew were in a safe situation, Chao Lian felt at ease with a reliable new master in Shangnan. He was still worried about Brother Six and Thirteen, so he could not stay here for too long. During this period, the Sibao County Office did not ask about Chao Lian's whereabouts.

Until the day Chao Lian sets off and leaves.

Gu Ren and his widow went out of the city to see him off.

Before Chao Lian got on the horse, he noticed that his eldest nephew looked tempted and stopped, so he wanted to say anything to him. He slapped his palm and patted his eldest nephew's vest and said, "A man says whatever he has, don't hesitate, my eldest brother is not as squeamish as you."

The eldest nephew mustered up the courage.

"When will Uncle Chao return?"

"I don't know that although your thirteenth uncle's situation is better than before, there is no accurate number when he can return to normal. In the past, there were other brothers to stop him from going crazy, but now there is only one sixth brother left. I'm not relieved, for fear that he will hurt his sixth brother by chance. But don't worry, if you have time, uncle will definitely come back to see you." Chao Lian was puzzled. The eldest nephew had asked similar questions long ago, why did he ask again today? A blessing in mind, a light of inspiration flashed, and an instant thought was clear and thoughts were clear.

He hesitated: "Is this what you mean?"

The eldest nephew shook his head: "It was Qi Zhuan who asked me to ask."

From Qi Shan's perspective, he naturally wanted to recruit Chao Lian to join. Gu Ren's righteous brother joined his lord. It was more legitimate to take Shangnan. Chao Lian was the signature! But Qi Shan also knew that Chao Lian would not easily serve people other than Gu Ren.

No one can replace Gu Ren's status.

If Chao Lian had no idea, Qi Shan would be rejected if he came forward to recruit the lord, which would only embarrass both sides.

So he didn't come forward and asked Gu Ren's eldest son to vent his attitude.

Chao Lian's response to this was a sentence—

"Before I came to Sibao, I met Mr. Shen. If you tell him what he said intact, he will understand what it means."

The eldest nephew nodded and agreed.

He took the bags from his servants one by one and stuffed them into the war horse bag, which were made in a set of men's clothing. These were made by his mother and maids. Considering that time was tight, the brave warriors were not invaded by the cold and heat, they only prepared for spring and autumn.

In addition to Uncle Chao, there are also Uncle Six and Uncle Thirteen.

Clothes, money, dry food, daily necessities...

Fortunately, Chao Lian's war horse quality was outstanding, and there were so many things piled up on the horse's back and didn't shake it. He turned over and jumped onto the horse's back and sat firmly, grabbed the reins with both hands, looked at everyone reluctantly, and repeatedly reminded: "Big nephew, you are the eldest brother's eldest son, and you must shoulder all the matters in the mansion. If you have any difficulties, go to find Shen Jun first. You can have normal contact with your elder brother's old subordinates, but don't be too close, which can easily cause unnecessary suspicion. Remember that your brothers and brothers are kind and harmonious, so that the family will flourish. Do not indulge outsiders to bully your family, remember to be filial to your sister-in-law!"

The eldest nephew led his younger brother and sister to answer with his fists.

"Uncle Chao said, my nephew has written down all the things he said."

Chao Lian looked at the end of the line from afar and sighed: "Brother has been open and bright all his life. You brother and sister are his descendants. In the future, no matter whether you succeed or be silent, you cannot insult your family tradition. If you let your uncles know-"

Little up the rolled whip in his hand.

He lowered his voice and looked serious: "Even if you are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, you will come back to clean up the portal for your elder brother!"

"Uncle Chao's teachings, my nephew will remember them!"

Several children spoke in unison.

Chao Lian clasped his fists at his sister-in-law and said, "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. Sister-in-law takes care of her health and see you next day."

"I wish my uncle Bufan safe and safe all the way."

There was a banquet that ended all over the world, and everyone sent it over and over again, but Chao Lian's figure finally disappeared at the end of the official road.

Gu Ren's eldest son also conveyed Chao Lian's words to Qi Shan.

Qi Shan said, "I understand."

Gu Ren's eldest son tried to say something, but Qi Shan raised his hand and suppressed it: "Your twelve uncle has met your lord. With your lord's love for talents, it is impossible for you to have no idea of ​​recruiting. Either the lord speaks openly but is rejected, or the lord knows the answer but does not speak. Alas, this matter still depends on fate."

At least Chao Lian has no fate with his lord at present.

Two possibilities: praying for goodness is more inclined to the latter.

"Maybe one day in the future, fate will come."

Qi Shan patted Gu Ren's eldest son on the shoulder.

Impressed him to be able to do his own business.

This episode did not cause much trouble. Qi Shan turned to the official office and took out a letter from the lord from the table full of books. This letter was about Chao Lian's arrival at the capital for the first time, and Qi Shan knew that someone was catching a knife to write. If Gu Ren's eldest son had not left, he would know that the matter was related to him after a glance.

To be precise, it has to do with Gu Ren's family.

Shen Tang wanted to give Gu Ren Rong and give him a title. Although there was no substantial right to grant him a reward, he looked good in terms of face. The key was that the title could be passed on to Gu Ren's children, so that Gu Ren's old subordinates and the common people in Shangnan could see her. She did not treat this family unfairly.

This is a basic operation.

Under normal circumstances, dynasties alternate. Treating the royal family of the previous dynasty is to raise them as mascots. This move can be used to win people's hearts and appease the old ministers and survivors of the previous dynasty. Of course, there are also those who directly kill all the royal family of the previous dynasty. This move can be done once and for all, but later generations may have mixed reviews. Gu Ren is not the king of the country, nor is his family a royal family, but he is open and upright in his life, doing good deeds and accumulates virtues. Shen Tang took away Gu Ren's political legacy without bloodshed, and even more, he needs to establish a mascot to gaggle on the surface.

Generally speaking, Shen Tang doesn't have to worry about this.

If you want to reward, you should reuse it.

but--

The situation of Gu Ren's family is a bit complicated.

He has three sons and two daughters, among which the eldest son who can inherit the legitimate name is an ordinary person. If the title is passed to him, the outside world may criticize Shen Tang for being sinister and not want Gu Ren's lineage to develop and prosper. If he skips the eldest son and passes it to the talented young son, the outside world will criticize Shen Tang for deliberately provoking and provoking their brotherly relationship, and also makes Gu Ren's eldest son in an awkward situation.

If the broken can is passed on to his little daughter...

That would be even more troublesome. It is said that Chen Tang had eaten so much that he didn't even have any residue left. In short, he couldn't do it thoroughly.

The lord also added a complaint at the end of the letter: [Are these aristocratic families reincarnated? How can they be so quarrels and provoke? Isn't that afraid that Gu Ren will talk to them in the middle of the night.]

Because the above worries were mentioned by several aristocratic families.

With Chen Tang's personality, she wouldn't care about these details at all. It doesn't matter how people in the world criticize her, as long as she doesn't hear it. But out of respect for Gu Ren, she can't be careless and want to hear everyone's opinions.

Well, everyone!

Chen Tang was left with only Qin Li and Chu Yao, and the others were sent out on business trips to take over military and political affairs in various places. In order to know the opinions of her subordinates, she chose to send this secret letter in a group, and everyone had it. Qi Shan sat down and wrote a reply letter with her pen.

The reply was short, with only two words: [The eldest son!]

This is the most unmatched one.

Gu Ren's youngest son and youngest daughter both have talent for cultivation. If they are not interested in power, they can express their feelings for mountains and rivers. If they are interested in fame and fortune, they can also go to the court to become officials. They can earn whatever fame you want, and they don't need to compete with their elder brother.

As for the gossip of those aristocratic families?

The lord doesn't need to care much.

When they are farting.

Before we knew it, the dusk was in full swing.
