Chapter Ten Heading to Fucheng
Time flies, spring passes, and the summer comes, and it is May in a blink of an eye. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the fragrance of rice dumplings is already filled with the city of Huating County. Every household hangs mugwort and wears sachets, and carry them to the river to watch dragon boats. The streets are small
The alley was filled with people, and the festive atmosphere was very festive.
The Gu Mansion is also very busy. Today, the master and his wife will take the young master to the mansion to spend the festival with Mr. Gu, luggage, carriage, festive ceremony and all kinds of items from the master. They must be prepared quickly. It is not too early, so I will go down.
People are so busy that they can't touch the ground that they want to learn the clone technique.
"Brother!" Gu Yunqiao held a sachet and tried to narrow her steps as soon as she arrived in a crowded place, stabilized her body, and looked dignified. After entering Gu Yunji's yard, no one was watching her look like her again.
A lady from a wealthy family couldn't help but run away impatiently.
"Brother, this is a sachet I made myself. There are some spices like realgar and mugwort leaves in it. You will wear them on your body when you go to the city to ward off evil spirits." Looking at the crappy needles on the sachet, Gu Yun
Coincidentally, I felt a little embarrassed, "I just learned some fashionable embroidery from Madam Feng. I hurriedly finished embroidery before you set off. The embroidery was not very good, don't dislike it."
Gu Yunji took the sachet and carefully wore it on his waist, and praised it without hesitation: "How could he dislike it? This was made by my sister for me. The stitches are dense, the patterns are good, and the color is matched. How well the embroidery is embroidered.
I'm almost reluctant to wear it!"
He praised him sincerely, and Gu Yunqiao was in a much better mood, but when he thought that he and his sisters could not go to Fucheng today and wanted to stay at home, he turned his mouth unhappily: "This time you go to Fucheng, I can only do this
It's boring to stay at home."
Gu Yunji smiled and comforted, "There are a whole family in the city, and the place is so big. If we go too many people, we can't even stand. My father said that after the Double Ninth Festival and grandfather's birthday, we will be in a neat family.
Let’s go to celebrate his birthday. Besides, we left shortly after we left, we came back tonight, obediently.”
At this time, Xu Dong trotted in from outside: "San Young Master, it's almost time, it's time to set off."
Gu Yunji stopped being too slow, and went to say goodbye to Aunt Zhao, and then walked out the door quickly.
Outside the Gu Mansion, Gu Kaizhen and Mrs. Wang were already sitting in the carriage at the forefront of the team, and Gu Yunxiao and Gu Yunlin were also preparing to turn on their horses.
In my original memory, I was nine years old when I rode a horse. Now I have become unfamiliar with riding skills. Looking at the tall horse in front of me, Gu Yunji was a little scared.
"Third brother." Seeing Gu Yunji hesitating, Gu Yunxiao said, "If you are not used to it, just go and ride the carriage behind." As he said that, he pointed to an empty carriage in the team, for the sake of ten thousand
The masters did not want to ride a horse and wanted to ride a car, but prepared in advance.
"It's okay, I can." As he said that, Gu Yunji stumbled on the ground with the help of Xu Dong. There were not many opportunities to go out, so he still wanted to ride a horse to see the scenery beside the road, not to mention that the carriage was bumpy, and when he arrived at the city, he was afraid that he would be afraid.
It can shake his bones apart.
When everyone arrived, Gu Kaizhen lifted the curtain from the carriage and poked his head out, and said to the servant: "Go away."
"Set out!" The servant turned around and shouted, and then the team began to move slowly.
After a while, Gu Yunji got used to the feeling of riding a horse, then walked up to him and stood with Gu Yunxiao and said, "Brother, I haven't been to the capital for several years. I'm not very familiar with the uncles and relatives in the clan. Please give it to me.
Let’s talk about the people and relationships here, so as not to violate anyone’s taboos and it will be bad if you hit the elders.”
Gu Yunxiao did not refuse and introduced: "You were still young last time when you went to Fucheng, and I'm afraid you don't have much memory. There are so many people here and there and the relationship is mixed. This time it's just a Dragon Boat Festival. Many distant relatives won't come. You
It is enough to clarify our grandfather's branch first."
"Grandfather Gu Zhengde is the eldest son and the current patriarch of our Gu clan. He also has a relative, Gu Zhenglu, who is our uncle. The two brothers have a good relationship, and the two families have not yet separated.
Still living in the same mansion. The grandfather has four sons, the eldest and youngest sons are legitimate sons, and they all live with the grandfather. Our father is the second, and another concubine's third uncle will be separated after he gets married.
Now.”
"Uncle Gu Kaili, currently the magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture, has two legitimate sons and one illegitimate son, named Gu Mingxuan, Gu Ming'an, and..."
Hearing this, Gu Yunji's mind could no longer keep up. Before he could ask, Gu Yunlin, who had come up next to him at some point, interrupted with frustration: "What's this all about, it's like a mess,
I can't remember so much, so I'll recognize people slowly when I go to the city. Brother, now you just need to tell me if there are any taboos in this, such as a hidden pain that I can't mention."
Gu Yunlin was not angry, thought for a moment, and said, "Well--- my grandfather once had a very beloved little daughter. She lost her smallpox when she was seven years old. Until now, he can't hear the word "smallpox".
Changsun, somehow he broke his leg a few years ago, and the imperial examination was hopeless. Don’t ask this to stimulate him in front of him. I also have the fourth uncle, who suffers from weak symptoms and has been in poor health. He has no children after the age of 1999.
In two years, my grandfather should adopt an heir from the clan."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, passed the entire Gu family's people and things in his mind, and then said, "Well, that's about it. If there are any missing things, I'll tell you."
Gu Yunji smiled bitterly and sighed: "Our Gu family is really a big family with hundreds of years of foundation. It's just a relationship that makes people confused. It's just uncles and uncles, if you add sisters, aunts and other things.
, I'm afraid my head will explode."
Speaking of this, Gu Yunxiao showed a hint of pride in his expression: "That's natural. Our Gu family has a deep foundation, and has officials from all generations, and has children from all over the world. It can be regarded as a famous family in the entire Jiangnan. Just because of our Songjiang Gu family,
If you become an official in the future, your career will be smooth, and your colleagues and officials will also respect us three points."
Gu Yunlin disagreed and complained in a low voice: "You are the legitimate son, of course it's different. The family property belongs to you. I am a little illegitimate son. Even if I were born in such a big family, who would care?"
Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao changed his usual gentle appearance and became angry rarely, scolding: "If you don't make progress yourself, don't blame the status of a gangster! Although there is a difference between legitimate and gangster, only legitimate sons can inherit the family ancestral temple. But no matter what,
Our family is still the entire Gu family. The legitimate son and the illegitimate son are all raised by the same kind of education. Have you ever treated the illegitimate son harshly? Don’t forget that I am also the son of the illegitimate son, and my father is also the illegitimate son! If you dare to say such things again, be careful with your skin!"
This is true. Treating children born in vain is something that only inferior families do. Aristocratic families like the Gu family, regardless of legitimate wife, will educate and train their children the same way. The difference is that legitimate sons are born with more.
High expectations, even if you are not talented, you will have a family guarantee. If a concubine's son is mediocre, he will have to be slowly forgotten and will not get more resources.
