Chapter 255 If she is frightened, she is not worthy of being Gu Junyi's son
Aunt Su was a little moved. The truth was that Gu Qiong was about to turn 20, and it was just that she was too irritated and refused to go out.
Now that Gu Qiong is getting better gradually, she is worried about Gu Qiong's marriage again.
Gu Yu saw through Aunt Su's thoughts at a glance, and without waiting for her to speak, she said: "Although Xiao Xingzhi is upright, he is an out-of-touch person. He deals with money every day, so he cannot avoid being a bit of a philistine."
In Gu Yu's view, Xiao Xingzhi was not worthy of her well-educated sister.
Being a friend is fine, but being a brother-in-law, Xiao Xingzhi still has to temper himself.
After hearing this, Aunt Su suppressed her original thoughts.
Gu Qiong is used to being cold and sad. If she meets a philistine, she may not be able to get along with him.
Gu Yu turned to Gu Qiong and said, "Don't take it to heart. If he offends you, I will teach him a lesson."
Gu Qiong nodded, shook his head, and said: "I was just talking to my brother. He was still polite. I was just shocked. Don't hurt the feelings between you friends over such trivial matters."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was the maid beside the old lady.
The maid said: "My young master is well. The old lady asked me to invite you to the ancestral hall."
Gu Yu said: "Okay, here we come."
Gu Qiong jumped behind Gu Yu and said, "Perhaps it was because I was happy to see my brother inherit the title, so I asked my brother to go over and tell my father the good news."
After receiving the family law in the ancestral hall, Gu Yu instinctively felt a little repelled by the ancestral hall.
Gu Yudao: "I hope so."
Throughout the whole day today, my aunt had stayed in the ancestral hall except for her appearance at the knighthood ceremony.
Gu Yu heard that the Gu clan had sent a mysterious person. Before she could think about it, the maid next to the old lady came to invite her.
The trees outside the ancestral hall that block out the sky have withered, and only a few pines and cypresses still stand proudly in the cold wind.
Gu Yu tightened his collar and walked in, only to find that Dr. Leng had also arrived and was standing next to Dr. Leng.
This is the ancestral hall of the Gu family. Doctor Xiao Leng and Doctor Leng both came over, which really surprised Gu Yu.
But Dr. Xiao Leng also looked confused.
The old lady looked back and saw Gu Yu. Gu Yu felt that her aunt had become older and older these days.
But my aunt is only in her forties. Let alone compared with the eldest princess of the same age, even when she stands with Aunt Su, she doesn't look like her peers.
Gu Yu said: "Mother, I'm here."
"Today is a big event for you. Come and kowtow to your father."
Gu Yu kowtowed to the memorial tablet of Lord Zhen Guo.
Gu Yu said: "Father, don't worry. My son, Gu Yu, will take over the throne today. He will definitely inherit his father's orders and protect the entire Gu family."
The old lady looked at Gu Yu's body, opened her mouth, and said with difficulty: "I asked you before, but you know that your father has been away at war for many years, but no one in the capital dares to humiliate and let down his superiors. Even the Holy Emperor has to personally do it every year and festival.
I asked the family members, whether you know why. At that time, you answered that it was because your father was brave and good at fighting, opened up territories for the country, guarded the great Yu Dynasty, brought peace to the world, and brought glory to the lintel. Do you still remember?"
Gu Yudao: "I remember, my mother said I was wrong at that time."
Those were the words I said before I came back from the Peony Banquet and implemented the family law.
The old lady said: "Today, mother will tell you the correct answer."
Gu Yu led her aunt, a bad premonition lingering in her heart, but she still said: "Please teach me, mother."
The old lady took a flag from Mr. Leng.
Gu Yu recognized it.
The totem on it is not the emblem of the Gu family, but the totem on the battle flag of the Gu family army when they led the troops in battle.
A red and ferocious eye of fire.
I heard that when the Duke of Laozhen attacked Xirong, the people of Xirong would become frightened and flee when they saw this flaming eye from a distance.
After many years, even if she brutally killed Dong Changmao, as long as she stamped the seal of this flaming eye, the Dong family would not only dare not seek revenge, but would resign to the emperor and leave Kyoto.
This shows that Gu Jun, the Duke of Zhenguo, accumulated great power.
Gu Yu's arrogance due to the young Xijue's whole day disappeared when he saw this flaming eye.
She keeps saying that she wants to support the Gu family, but she is far from her father back then and will never be able to reach his height again.
Just because...
The old lady said: "That's because the Gu family had 200,000 iron-blooded soldiers and horses at hand at that time, and your father's reputation for being invincible in battle was well known."
Gu Yu felt vaguely ominous. The battle between Sunset Pass and Xirong resulted in the loss of most of the Gu family's army, and his father also died in this battle.
The Gu family army was leaderless, and eventually the military power was taken back by the Holy Emperor. Later, it was reorganized and handed over to Lieutenant Shao Wuji.
Nearly twenty years have passed, except on the stage in Goulanwashe, there will be military students singing and singing about the heroic achievements of Gu Junyi, the former governor of the country.
The reputation of Gu Jiajun has disappeared for too long.
But now, the old story of my aunt is brought up again, what does it mean?
Gu Yu said: "I understand."
The old lady said: "Since you understand this, you should also understand that the glory of the Gu family is supported by the Gu family army. If you want to regain the glory, you must revive the Gu family army."
Gu Yu looked at the old lady and didn't understand why her aunt said so.
After the Battle of Sunset Pass, Xirong retreated to the hinterland of the grassland and paid tribute every year.
Prince An's rebellion was put down within a few months.
It is extremely difficult to revive the Gu family army.
What's more, after so many years, the Gu Family Army has long been integrated into various armies of the imperial court, and countless blood changes have been made among them. Where can there be Gu Family Army?
Gu Yudao: "The son doesn't understand what the mother means."
The old lady glanced at Doctor Leng and said, "Invite someone here."
Invite someone?
Who to invite?
That mysterious person who came from the Gu family clan today?
Gu Yu was puzzled for a moment.
Lengliu felt very cramped after Dr. Leng left.
He didn't know why he wanted to be in the Gu family's ancestral hall, so he said: "Old madam, this matter concerns the Gu family's Xinmi. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to be in the Gu family's ancestral hall."
The old lady glanced at him and said, "Xiao Leng, please stay. It's not just about the Gu family's secrets, it's also about your life experience."
Lengliu's body also stiffened.
He grew up in the Gu Mansion. When he was a child, he still thought about who his parents were and why they abandoned him, and cried to Doctor Leng.
But after he became wise, he had already given up looking for his family. His family had abandoned him first, and he had no intention of looking for him again.
Now the old lady suddenly told him that his life experience was closely related to the Gu family.
Both the old lady and Doctor Leng knew about it, but they kept it secret from him for so many years.
He glanced at Gu Yu, who didn't look good either.
They all felt that this incident was ominous.
Not long after, Dr. Leng pushed a wheelchair outside the ancestral hall, but did not come in.
The old lady said: "Come in."
There was still no movement outside, and an old and hoarse voice came.
"I'm afraid I will scare the lord with this look."
The sound sounded like it had been polished with sandpaper. It was rough and uncomfortable to the ears.
The old lady said: "You are a hero of the Gu family. If Gu Yu can be frightened when she sees you, she is not worthy to be Gu Junyi's son."
These words were spoken so harshly that Gu Yu held her breath and looked out the door.
