Chapter 183

Gu's tomb is in a geomantic treasure land to the south of the capital. It is said that his wife and great grandfather made a fortune there. After making a fortune, they bought a piece of land to build a mausoleum for Gu's family.

The real Marquis of the Gu family started from the generation of the old Marquis and descended after three generations. In short, Gu Changqing will be the last generation of marquis. If he does not make great contributions, his son will become a count, his grandson will become a Viscount, and his great grandson will become a baron. When he comes to xuansun, he will become an ordinary citizen.

Of course, in the state of Zhao, there were also such prosperous families as Dingguo government and Chuang Tzu, with a large number of talents and a stable position.

Yao got up early in the morning, wearing a plain white skirt wrapped with cinnamon twigs, an apricot Pipa skirt, without any gold hairpin and silver ornaments, only two white jade hairpins.

The little maid brought the rouge box.

Yao waved his hand: "fat powder is not necessary."

She's going to the grave, not the door.

"Yes." The little servant girl stepped back with the rouge box in her hand.

"It's cloudy. I'm afraid it's not going to snow again." Mammy Fang came in from the outside and rubbed her stiff old hand. "Madam, this body is too thin. Put on your cloak."

"Well." Yao nodded and wore a white satin cloak.

This dress is carefully dressed, so you can't make mistakes.

Room mother in the end afraid of her frozen body, more people prepared a few soup lady, warm hand Wu also gave her use.

When Yao came to the gate with rabbit hair and warm hands, Gu Changqing's three brothers came from their own yard.

Gu Changqing's look did not change.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin's face is not very good-looking.

Gu Chenglin coldly glanced at Yao and hummed: "aunt is really, why do you want her to come? Why don't we worship our mother ourselves? "

Gu Changqing looked at him seriously: "get on the bus."

Gu Chenglin said, "I'm not wrong! She killed my mother! She still has the face to go to her mother's grave! "

Gu Chenglin also thinks so, but the elder brother is here, he doesn't want to let the younger brother be punished by the elder brother again.

Gu Chengfeng pulled his younger brother's sleeve: "OK, get on the carriage first. Later, if it's late, it's hard to walk on the road in case of snow."

"Hum!" Gu Chenglin glared at Yao and got on the carriage angrily.

Gu Chengfeng and he got on the same carriage.

Gu Changqing rode a horse.

Yao and Fang got into another carriage, and there were two other carriages to offer sacrifices to Xiao Ling.

"Well, why suffer this injustice?" Mother Fang painfully helped Yao to the stool.

"Nothing." Yao said.

She had been used to hearing these words for a long time. At first, she would feel sad and aggrieved, but now she is numb.

She didn't kill the first lady.

When she is clear, she is clear.

More than an hour later, the party arrived at Dongyue Village. The cemetery was in a mountain forest behind the village.

Gu Changqing got out of the carriage.

Yao also got out of the car, she ordered people to take down the sacrifice of Xiao Ling, and planned to go to the grave to give Xiao Ling a stick of incense.

Gu Chenglin step blocked her way: "I do not allow you to worship my mother! You don't deserve it

Yao is understood, Ling aunt called her over is to borrow stepson's hand to humiliate her.

Yao said calmly: "I promised the old lady that I would give her a stick of incense."

"Go away!"

Gu Chenglin reached out to push Yao's family. Gu Changqing stepped over and clasped his brother's wrist: "do you want to make trouble in front of my mother's grave?"

Gu Chenglin angrily draws back his hand.

Yao handed the incense candle and paper money to Gu Changqing: "then I won't pass. Please take my heart with me."

Gu Changqing took her things: "madam, go to the carriage and wait. It's windy outside."

Yao looked at him strangely, but he cared about her. If he got to his mother's grave, did everyone become good?

Yao did not speak, turned and got into the carriage.

"You shouldn't have let her come with you!" Gu Chenglin murmurs.

"Say less!" Gu Chengfeng road.

Houfu hired nearby villagers to guard Gu's ancestral graves, and each grave was swept clean.

The three brothers paid homage to the little Ling family, and also to the great grandfather and grandmother. After that, they went to the village to have a look.

Gu's ancestors are not from Dongyue Village, but he has received the favor of the local villagers. Thanks to the guards of the villagers, Gu's ancestral graves have been well protected these years.

Yao took the gifts from the carriage to the villagers one by one.

In the past, it was aunt Ling who did this. The villagers thought that Aunt Ling was the real wife of the family. When they first saw Yao, they asked her if she was the aunt of the family. They were angry with mammy Fang.

This is aunt Ling's second move.

By the words of the villagers to add to her block.

Yao wants to laugh.

Aunt Ling has never been a mother. She doesn't understand that for a mother, she has nothing else to ask for in her life if she can break the curse that her son can't live more than 15 years and recognize her own flesh and blood.

After visiting the villagers, it's getting late, and it's time for them to return home.

They just set foot on the carriage of the return journey, not long after, the sky really drifted with snow.

Without lunch, several people were hungry and cold. Yao asked the maid to send a box of snacks to the three brothers.

Gu Chenglin sneered: "I don't want to eat what she makes!"

Gu Changqing frowned with a complicated look.

"Big brother, the outside is below. You can sit in the carriage." Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing light way: "need not."

Where do the marching and fighting people care about such a little Blizzard?

"They don't eat, ma'am." The little servant girl brought the dim sum back.

"Forget it." Yao took the snack box back.

In fact, she didn't make it by herself. She didn't mean to rush to make snacks for her stepsons. She brought it from the house.

She ate two pieces herself. Recently she didn't have a good appetite, so she didn't eat much. She gave them to mammy Fang and a few little maids.

Snow made the journey of the carriage slow down. There was no decent restaurant in the wilderness, and Gu Chenglin couldn't see the food in the ordinary tea shed. So the three brothers went all the way to the city hungry.

On the way back to the Marquis's house, there is a duck seller. Gu Chenglin likes to eat his ducks most. Today, he has been hungry for so long. He can't help but say to Gu Changqing: "brother, I'm going to faint! Let's go in and have something to eat

Gu Changqing looked at the two brothers who were really hungry and shriveled. He nodded and rode to Yao's carriage: "have something to eat and then go back to the house?"

Yao is not hungry, but she is really tired after a day's ride in the carriage.

They got out of the carriage and asked for two wing rooms on the second floor, one for the three brothers and one for Yao.

Yao himself did not eat anything, and ordered a table for mammy Fang and her entourage.

The room was so stuffy that she happened to want to go to the toilet again, so she went to the Gong room on the first floor.

When she came out to the lobby, a man's voice suddenly stopped her: "Yao'er?"

Yao had not heard this voice for many years, but he recognized it all at once.

Yao's face changed and he turned around in a daze.

"Yao'er, it's really you!"

A man, dressed in a navy blue dress, strides over. He is about thirty years old. He is beautiful and handsome. He is not as big as Marquis Gu, but he is tall.

Yao recovered a little, but when the man approached her, she still stepped back.

As soon as the man's face darkened, he immediately said, "I'm so abrupt. I haven't seen you for so many years. I'm so excited that I almost forgot the etiquette. Please forgive me!"

He said, bowing his hand.

Yao's side body avoided to avoid, didn't receive his courtesy: "you don't want to like this."

The man's eyes looked at Yao's in a complicated way: "Yao'er, have you had a good time these years? I heard that you are married to Marquis Ding'an. How is Marquis treating you? "

"I'm fine," he said

The man was relieved to smile: "you say so I am relieved."

After that, they didn't say anything, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Yao pinched his handkerchief and said, "I'm leaving."

"Ah..." the man's eyes across a touch of disappointment, "my mother, she often asked about you."

Yao's step is a meal.

The man said with a bitter smile: "in fact, I have been married these years, and I have my own wife and children. I'm sorry."

Yao closed his eyes and said, "it was the Yao family who withdrew first. I should say I'm sorry. You don't have to blame yourself."

"The man said sadly:" my mother, she was hit by the wind years ago, and then she is not very well. Recently, she is always in a muddle, reading your name in her mouth

The two families have always been in contact. Yao's marriage with the man has been decided long ago. The man's mother is very satisfied with Yao. Every day, she hopes that the daughter-in-law can pass by early and says that she must be treated as her own daughter.

It's a pity that this marriage has been spoiled after all.

It's not so much the oppression of marquis Gu as the deliberate flattery of Yao family.

Anger, hate, and chagrin are now at peace.

"You..." the man scratched his head in embarrassment, "it may be too abrupt to say that. I didn't expect to meet you here, but since I met you, I still want to ask you... Can you go to see my mother for the last time?"

His mother is dying. The doctor said it's the matter of these days.

But his mother never closed her eyes.

His mother suffers, so does he.

He looked at Yao, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I, as a son, didn't give her a day of glory and wealth. I don't want to be here, but I can't even satisfy one of her wishes..."

After all, Yao had an engagement with him, which should be avoided.

However, his mother did treat Yao as if she were her own. She was a very kind woman, and Yao can feel the warmth of her heart even when she thinks about it.

If she had married him in those years, her life might be very different from now.

"Where do you live?" Yao asked.

The man's eyes brightened: "did you agree?"

Yao shidun: "I think about it, not necessarily will go."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you can't go! I live in Qingfeng street, Qingyue District... "The man reported his address.

Yao didn't expect that he would live in such a poor place.

"I'll go first." Yao said to him.

"Ah! You, you slow down The man watched Yao excitedly.

Yao entered the lobby and went upstairs.

Over there, the three Gu brothers finished eating, and they went back to the house in a carriage.

Yao first went to Mrs. Gu to recover her life. Mrs. Gu was very pleased to hear that nothing went wrong along the way.

Marquis Gu asked Huang Zhong to send a message to Yao's family. There was a conflict between the Ministry of work and the Ministry of war. Marquis Gu is dealing with emergency affairs in the Ministry of work at the moment. Maybe he can't come back tonight. Let his wife have a rest and don't have to wait for him.

Yao was restless in the room.

As soon as she closes her eyes, she can think of Zhen, her future mother-in-law.

"Mother Fang."

"What's the matter, madam?" Mother Fang came in with a curtain.

Yao put on a coat: "prepare the carriage, I'll go out."

"Where is Madame going at this late hour? It's time for the young lady and the young master to rest Mammy Fang thought Yao was going to Bishui Hutong.

Yao said, "don't ask so many questions. Find a coachman with a tight mouth."

Mother Fang opened her mouth: "ah."

Yao came to Zhen's house by carriage.

She knocked on the painted door.

"Who --"

It's a woman's voice.

Yao didn't speak.

The courtyard door creaked open, and out came a woman in plain clothes who described premature senility. The woman was as old as Yao, but she looked more than ten years older than Yao.

Yao guessed her identity and opened her mouth. Just as she was about to say who she was, she heard the woman turn her head to the room and say, "master, there are guests coming!"

Zhen Ping came out quickly.

When he saw Yao, he was surprised at first, and then stepped forward with a happy look: "it's cold outside. Go into the room and get warm!" He said to his wife, "it's Mrs. Hou."

The woman bowed to Yao.

Yao nodded slightly.

Obviously, the woman had heard of Yao's for a long time. She took her half washed clothes from the front yard to the back yard, and then she didn't show up in front of Yao.
