Chapter 20 Eating(1/2)
Duke Gu sat on the long stone steps in front of the hall, looked into the distance sadly, and sighed slowly.
The official who spoke to him followed the grief and wished he could go back to the slap he had just now and swallow the words back.
He broke Duke Gu's heart, and now he was unwilling to stay or leave, and he was full of sadness.
The official approached carefully with a little bit of friendship and asked, "Do you still remember what happened back then? Do you have any concerns about you?"
"How can I not remember? I can't forget it." A sad look flashed in Gu Guogong's eyes, "When the wife thought of this, she didn't dare to fall asleep at night. Not to mention Goro. But he was a young man and never asked us to know what he had in his heart."
The colleague was very sympathetic and sat down next to him with his clothes, comforting him: "You can't blame you for the first time, you can't help it. Goro is so sensible, he should forgive you."
Duke Gu shook his head: "In the final analysis, it is because I didn't be a good father. It was originally a dirty fight in power struggles, but he was involved with a child. I don't know if he was sensible or had already lost his heart to me."
"You don't have to blame yourself so much. You should blame Fudonglai for being too shameless!" The official cursed, "He really redeems his sins if he dies!"
Fu Donglai is a warlock.
The late emperor was young and wise, but when he was old, he began to be confused. Because he was afraid of separation and was obsessed with pursuing the way of immortality. He scattered the world's sorcerers and asked them to find the Penglai fairyland for themselves. The most favored one was Fu Donglai.
He made Fudonglai a title of marquis and ministers, and rewarded him with thousands of gold and silver. He almost almost recruited him as his son-in-law.
Therefore, no matter how smart people are, they are not awake, and when they are not awake, they are much more terrifying than ordinary people. Even heroes like Qin Huang and Han Wu are not spared.
The late emperor embarked on the old path of seeking immortality, and he was like crazy, asking Fudong to come and play around. He was going to tour the south for a while and then to Fengshan for a while. He went to sacrifice to the heavens when he was idle, and he was in a hurry to knock on pills. The only thing that is thankful is that he did not engage in a massacre like the two big figures above.
At that time, the Duke and a group of ministers were unable to see each other, so they jointly submitted a report to impeach Fudonglai and squandered his money and made friends a traitor. They didn't want to ask Fudonglai to hold a grudge.
The man was extremely insidious in his work and knew that he could not move the Gu family, who had a deep foundation, so he told His Majesty that the young master of the Gu family had a great fate and was suitable for his fairy child. With him, he might be able to find Penglai Immortal Island as soon as possible. He also said that he had done a fortune for Gu Wu, and Gu Fengjian's fate was in conflict with the national fortune. He was born to become an immortal, but should not be an official. Wu Ze secretly stole the authority, and Wen Ze cholera to the court. He was so angry that his country's Duke almost raised his sword to kill him on the spot.
Duke Gu was not a Duke at that time, and he didn't have such power, so he could not resist the elders of the clan. After holding on for a few days, he could only watch Gu Fengjian cry miserably, and was forcibly taken away, and was a Taoist boy next to Fudonglai.
When he first went to see Goro, Goro always cried and shouted to go home with him. He felt very uncomfortable. Mrs. Gu was angry again and needed care, so he couldn't take off his body. In addition, Fudonglai would deliberately make Goro do things in front of him. He went once, Goro was miserable once. If he didn't go, Goro could still eat and wear warm clothes and live a comfortable life. Later, he did not dare to show up again.
Fortunately, the late emperor died a few years later... No, it’s a pity that Fudonglai caused the late emperor to die young! Gu Fengjian was taken home.
But in those years, Gu Fengjian's memory was already very clear. He was born premature and in poor health, and became extremely unfamiliar with his family.
My colleague patted Duke Gu on the back.
He knew that Duke Gu was the most difficult person in this matter.
His Majesty was almost crazy at that time and he didn't listen to anyone's words. Gu Feng was briefly sent to be a fairy child. If he didn't agree, it would affect the rest of the Gu family. But he agreed, but Mrs. Gu couldn't stand it.
He was stuck in the middle and didn't even have a chance to complain. The country, the family, the weight of loyalty and affection was all pressing on him.
Moreover, Gu Fengjian is pretty good. He is smart and clear-headed, and Fu Donglai didn't dare to do anything too much to him. A young man who was a Taoist boy with him at that time was cheated too deeply and has now become a monk.
"How can we beat Fan Er? He has never learned martial arts. Fan Shangshu's son is very tiger-like, and he is comparable to my Silang." Gu Guogong said sadly, "Fan Er will definitely not sell his face, and Wulang will not be beaten, right?"
The colleague said: "You Goro is indeed not in good health. But I heard from others that Young Master Fan Er was injured, and your Goro is not injured."
Duke Gu shook his head and refused to believe it: "Not necessarily. Even if he is injured, he will secretly hide his wound."
My colleague thought, can this be hidden quietly?
Duke Gu said: "We Wulang is very sensible and easy to talk to. Therefore, I am always worried about him."
The official said: "If you are really worried about him, let him learn some fists and kicks with Gu Silang."
Duke Gu sighed again: "Oh, when he first came back, he also casually mentioned that he wanted to learn martial arts. Silang volunteered to teach him, but it was not serious and asked someone to practice horse stance in the wind. Wulang had just learned for a day and burned for three days in a row, and almost went like that. I was so angry that I beat him up and didn't allow him to make trouble again."
The official said in surprise: "Have you beat Goro?"
Duke Gu glared: "How is that possible! Of course he beat Silang!"
Colleague: "..." Why do you think Gu Silang is more pitiful?
My colleague thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't punish Silang."
"Now thinking about it, I really shouldn't punish Silang too much." Duke Gu held his hand and regretted, "Since then, Goro hasn't even been close to Silang."
When they treat Goro, they are too cautious and do not look like ordinary parents.
That time, Goro said he wanted to learn martial arts, but in the end, Silang was beaten. In addition, Duke Gu sent him to be a Taoist boy before and combined with the messy fate that Fudong criticized him, Gu Fengjian would inevitably think too much.
He was sensitive and consciously alienated from everyone.
The official asked: "What happened later? Why didn't you learn again? You can invite him a better gentleman."
Duke Gu was also very upset: "I went to ask him once. He didn't want to talk to me at that time, so he just said no."
The official had a vague premonition: "What did you ask?"
"What else should I ask?" said Gu Guogong, "I asked in a blunt manner, and he also said bluntly.
The official imagined the scene carefully.
Gu Silang was beaten and bed-drunk. Gu Fengjian was just recovering from serious illness and could only be locked in the house. Duke Gu stood in front of him with a cold face and asked stiffly: "Do you still have to learn martial arts?"
Gu Wulang obediently said: "I won't learn anymore."
Duke Gu then snorted and left with his sleeves.
What kind of inhumane scene of intimidation?!
The official shivered all over his body. He felt that it was probably the case.
Duke Gu was still deeply repentant: "It was me who was too negligent to him."
After the death of the late emperor, the government was still in chaos and everything was in trouble. At that time, he was still young and was entirely supported by a group of old ministers. Gu Guogong was entrusted with important tasks and was ordered to go to various places to supervise and inspect the overall situation, and he didn't even have the opportunity to stay at home. When he realized the serious problem and wanted to get closer to others, Gu Fengjian was already an adult.
He cannot ignore state affairs. He can't just deal with family affairs.
Duke Gu sighed again. He was so annoyed.
His colleagues told him to sigh and felt uncomfortable.
"I think you should have a good talk with your Goro. Even if he doesn't want to say more to you, you should finish your words first." The official said, "Don't always have a stern face."
Duke Gu said: "Where do I have a stern face?"
Official: "You are just stern now."
Duke Gu accused: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Go back and look in the mirror, really." The official stood up and reminded him while running, "Go back and look in the camera!"
Duke Gu couldn't help but touch his eyebrows. His sword-brows were so sharp that he was born with coldness. Many people have said that he was very terrifying when he got angry, but Duke Gu didn't care.
If you can’t make your subordinates afraid when you are angry, what’s the point of being angry?
What's more, there are many people who say that he has a good appearance and a good appearance, so how could he be violent?
?
Duke Gu worked hard to finish his government affairs for a day and returned to the mansion as if he was thinking about it. At that time, Song Chuzhao was talking to Mrs. Gu in the courtyard.
Mrs. Gu asked her about the He Mansion and asked her if the trip was going well.
Song Chuzhao nodded and said it was going well. General He was very kind to her. Not only did he invite her to have pastries, but he also praised the gifts she gave. It was a pity that he did not leave her for lunch.
Mrs. Gu shared with her what she had just found out about and what she had happened at the gate of the Song Mansion.
Song Chuzhao felt very regretful, because he did not follow the scene with shamelessness and actually missed a big show.
The two of them, together with Gu Silang who was attending the audience, chatted with relish. They thought the Song Mansion was really interesting.
Gu Silang smiled and raised his head, and inadvertently found Duke Gu who was standing behind the pillar and eavesdropping. He had been standing for a while. He was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Father."
So Mrs. Gu and Song Chuzhao also stopped their voices and looked at the person coming.
It was the first time that Song Chuzhao had seen Duke Gu in so many days. Facing this handsome and majestic strange man, she did not dare to slack off. She stood upright and stood upright. She waited for the other party's instructions.
Duke Gu found that as soon as he appeared, the atmosphere became cold as ice, and his expression became darker.
Gu Silang felt distressed when he found out his emotional changes. As a habitual offender, he skillfully began to think twice every day. After thinking about it, he felt that he was very restrained recently and should have made no mistakes. He raised a standard corner of his lips and smiled with Gu Guogong.
When Song Chuzhao saw that even Gu Silang was so abnormal, he began to feel nervous. He tightened his spine and greeted him politely.
Gu Guogong felt completely disheartened when he saw this miserable scene that was like meeting Shangguan. He asked a very friendly greeting and tried to save it.
"Have you eaten?"
Mrs. Gu understood him and said with a smile: "It's not yet. You're back today very early."
Duke Gu nodded: "Yes." He quickly handled the official business and rushed back to talk to Goro about life.
Mrs. Gu said, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare food and prepare meals."
Duke Gu said: "Okay."
Gu Silang turned around and headed to the hall first.
Duke Gu pulled down Mrs. Gu's sleeve and signaled her to come to the side first.
The two stood in a place where no one was.
Duke Gu asked: "I often have a stern face?"
Mrs. Gu looked at him and said, "What do you think?"
Duke Gu paused and asked again: "I'm stern now?"
Mrs. Gu's tone became a little heavier, and said, "What do you think?"
