Clam Pearl

People's hearts always grow in remote places. On weekdays, Gu Zhao has always felt that he is fair. Unfortunately, some things have come to an end and concern himself. Only then did he fully realize that he is an idealist at best, just talking about it. , When encountering a vital point, after all... still can't make a move, hesitated again and again.

Gu Maofeng, whose legs were broken until he could no longer break them, was crying and howling in his yard.The howling was separated by a layer of courtyard, and now it sounds like glass shards scratching the heart, and it was heard in the front room where Master Gu and Gu Zhao were sitting, making people tremble in their hearts.

At this time, there are no good methods, and there are no benefits such as anesthetics, so no matter what kind of bone masters they are, they are all directly using methods on the flesh.

There was howling in the room for two full hours, and Tao Ruo's family responded with a disheartened expression. The third master's legs were too loose, and with such a reputation, the means might be useless.

Jiao Hong, who was crying and crying, probably didn't expect such an outcome. Of her two children, the eldest one doesn't agree with him, but she is sincere in heart. In her opinion, she can only rely on the third child no matter what. They have the same thoughts, they share a common language, they hate the same things, and they want the same things, so in Jiao Hong's eyes, she only has the third son, Gu Maofeng.

Now that she knows that her heart and liver are disabled, she didn't bluff like before, instead she stood up, swayed a few times and then softened.

Those who were in a hurry down there panicked again, they all lifted Jiao Hong down for treatment.From the beginning to the end, the old lady Lu didn't say a word, and she didn't show too much expression. She said a lot of mistakes at this moment. The aunt and the concubine are innate enemies. She just has some ideas. After all these years , has long been hidden.

Gu Zhao had a ghost in his heart, so he quietly looked at his elder brother's face, is it strange?Gu Yan was also expressionless at the moment, just waved his hand and said indifferently: "I vaguely remember that there used to be a doctor named Ma in the army, who was so good at bone grafting...worse..."

Gu Maode, who was standing aside, looked embarrassed and said quietly: "Father made a mistake, Ma Langzhong was used to bone bones for war horses."

"Oh..." Gu Yan suddenly stood up, regardless of others, just going out on his own, but he stepped too early on the threshold, and stepped on the threshold for a while, if Gu Maode didn't know his father Follow closely and support timely, I am afraid that the master will not be able to escape falling on his back at this moment.

Under the eyes of everyone, Xu Shi felt that he had lost face. After Master Gu stood firm, Huihui flicked his sleeves and scolded angrily: "I'm fine! Why help me!" Gu Yan was furious and wanted to curse angrily, but the first chapter was about his little brother, and he swallowed it in a fit of anger.

Gu Zhao didn't know if he didn't support his elder brother, but when he helped him, he found that his elder brother was shaking.

"Brother..." Gu Zhao didn't know how to persuade him.People's hearts are really biased. Fortunately, he was not killed. If he was killed, his old brother would not be able to live.

No matter how you say it, no matter how hard Gu Maofeng is, he is also the biological son of the old brother... But, that's the way it is said, if this happened to Gu Maojia today, what if it happened to other Gu family sons?Gu Zhao didn't dare to ask himself.

Gu Yan was supported by Gu Zhao and went back to his room. The two brothers sat together without saying a word. After a long time, Gu Yan suddenly said: "That evil beast... should have been rewarded a long time ago!"

Gu Zhao was speechless.

After another half-beat, Gu Yan patted his thigh and sighed, "Why isn't he dead? If he dies... I'll be loose..."

Gu Zhaoqian coughed twice, cleared his throat and advised, "Well...tomorrow...let's invite the imperial doctor from the palace to have a look."

Gu Yan shook his head slightly and waved his hands to refuse: "No need...it's all broken...hey, it's good to be broken, it's good to be broken! I'll be free from now on, this...this bastard!"

Gu Zhao wanted to persuade him, but he didn't want the captain of Jingnan to come to his house to inquire about the case, so the incident happened in the alley in the south of Shangjing, and it was also the officer's bad luck. Now he dare not ask anyone to ask, so he had to come to inquire in person.The affairs of the Duke's Mansion are both public and private.

"Send him away, just say that the mansion is in great chaos now, and he can't tell the truth today, so he can rest assured that this matter... is not his fault. Such a disaster has caused the whole family to lose face..." Gu Yan ordered Tao Ruo with a look of disgust, and added another sentence after the order: "You just say...tomorrow things will be straightened out...and then call the boss Nan Duwei Go report it, I can only hate that thief stick, so unscrupulous, he actually... ruined the whole life of the third child!"

Gu Zhao was shy, and he didn't know how to persuade his elder brother, and he didn't know how Gu Maode gave him away, and he didn't know what happened to Gu Maofeng's hacking. Anyway, when Gu Zhao came to his senses, he unexpectedly After getting off the sedan chair, he stood in front of his house.

"Why did I come back?" Gu Zhao was at a loss.

Xinzai was busy trying to persuade him, "Qiye, you are not in good health. It's getting late today. If you have anything to do, go tomorrow. You won't be able to help if you go now."

Gu Zhao sighed, but didn't say another word. Xinzai and the others hurriedly carried the sedan chair and helped Gu Zhao up, and trotted all the way back to the house.

Ah Run also has ghosts in his heart today, and Gu Zhao's actions are really not tricks in his opinion.But when things were like this, he couldn't intervene. Now that his sweetheart had returned, he was secretly happy, and he was only thinking about how to coax him well.Therefore, this night, he did not leave everything in the hands of others, and he always served extremely diligently, with a very low profile.

Gu Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him, just ate something casually and got on the kang, feeling tired, but couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, always feeling that this was not the end, his heart throbbed all the time, and his eyelids twitched.

It was about the second quarter of Yinshi, and I fell into a half-dream in a daze, but I didn't want someone outside the bed to whisper: "Your Majesty, Qi Ye, there may be something wrong over there in Pingzhou Alley..."

Gu Zhao opened his eyes abruptly, sat up neatly, turned his head and asked outside: "Who is outside?!"

Someone outside the tent replied: "Little Fan Sheng." It turned out to be the leader of the secret guards in the mansion.

Seeing that Gu Zhao was in a panic, Ah Run patted his hand and said, "Don't panic, the old man has a plan in his heart. He hasn't seen any troubles in these years." Order people to hold lamps.

After a while, four candles of butter wax were lit in the room, illuminating the room transparently.Gu Zhao put on his clothes, and before he could calm down, he hurriedly sat outside the couch to ask questions.

"How do you know something's going on in Pingzhou Alley? But...my old brother? Something's up?"

Fan Sheng looked up at Lord Long Live who was sitting on the side, and Lord Long Live nodded slightly.

Fan Sheng replied: "Going back to Master Qi, the old man is fine, it's... the first night, Mr. Sun gave the little one a sign to enter the palace, and told him to go... look over there, in case something happens at night Take the sign and go to the palace to invite the imperial doctor..."

Gu Zhao was a little annoyed: "Be quick, what's the matter? Who's the matter? See what he's doing?"

Fan Sheng's face turned red, his soul flew out of fright, and he hurriedly replied without daring to lift his head: "The third master over there is gone."

Gu Zhao was startled, gone?He hastily asked: "It's gone? Dead? Gu Maofeng?"

Fan Sheng replied with a low head: "Yes."

It's just two broken legs, why are they gone?Gu Zhao hurriedly stood up, and was about to order someone to change clothes, so he hurried to the other side to watch, his old brother was so old... I'm afraid he couldn't bear it.

Ah Run hurriedly grabbed him, dragged him back, poured Gu Zhao a bowl of Dingjing tea that he had prepared earlier, and said to Fan Sheng who was still kneeling, "Get up and answer."

Fan Sheng stood up with his head still down.

Ah Run embraced Gu Zhao and persuaded him, "Ah Zhao, it's inconvenient for you to go over now."

Gu Zhao hated him so much that he couldn't help venting his anger, so he asked him in a very bad tone: "Why can't we make it through? If my elder brother can't bear it, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?"

Ah Run sighed, patted his hand to persuade him: "You didn't come to report the funeral over there, how did you know?"

Suddenly, Gu Zhao was stunned.

Seeing that Gu Zhao was no longer struggling, Ah Run asked Fan Sheng, "When did it happen?"

Fan Sheng said: "It's the last moment of ugliness."

"Why not?"

Fan Sheng's tone paused for a moment, and then he replied: "At about [-]:[-], Qi Ye's nephew Gu Yunjing went there."

Gu Zhao's eyelids twitched even more, this bastard still thinks things are not messed up!He suppressed his temper and asked: "What is he going to do in the middle of the night? It's really... confused!" Before he finished speaking, his heart felt cold, wouldn't it be impossible to hide everything?For a moment, he didn't know what to do. Although he came here, although there were bumps, the person who loved him the most in the world was his elder brother...

Seeing Gu Zhao's pale face, Ah Run felt pity in his heart, so he hugged him to comfort him: "Don't panic, I can't blame you for this matter, your thoughts here are useless, why don't you ask in detail and make plans." , he said to Fan Sheng: "Tell me in detail, you are not allowed to hide anything."

Fan Sheng's voice was still that you asked me a question and I answered, without any ups and downs, he said: "Yes! Today, the general manager gave the little one a sign and asked the little one to go over there to take care of it. When the sun comes, the little one will go Arrived. Because there are many generals in the Duke's mansion, the younger one was still learning this trick from the Gu family's army, so he didn't dare to approach, afraid of shocking others, so he only dared to wait and see from a distance. The young master Gu I went there in the middle of the night. When I went there, I met the old man first, and then we went to the old man's house together, and we talked for a quarter of an hour. Later, the old man over there led people to seal the gate of the mansion, and ransacked the third master's house. Later, a lot of boxes were brought out and some people were tied up... At that time when Yue Yinshi..."

Speaking of this, Fan Sheng raised his face, looked at Gu Zhao, who was numb, and gritted his teeth: "At the beginning of Yue Chou, the uncle over there took a bowl of medicine to the third master's side, and the uncle walked in a panic and fell on the road." I fell, hit the bowl, and broke my head. Then... and then... the old man brought the medicine in himself... At three quarters, someone came out and wrapped the lion at the door with a white cloth Soon, the villain heard the servants in the corridor saying that the third master was seriously injured and had already gone..."

The room was quiet, Ah Run waved Fan Sheng out, Gu Zhao sat blankly, not knowing how to react, he used to feel that he had integrated into this society long ago, but now it seems that he may be from the beginning to the end. At the end, he didn't get involved, and... it was just a raw meal.

Yes, yes, brother, how could he think the same as himself!No matter how biased my mind is, I just think about it, if one day I have a son, that child will turn the world upside down, and even if he loses his life, he can only protect him. Who calls him an old man?He's not that impartial.

The old brother is different, the old brother has always thought about the same as A Run, they are the same group.

Unexamined, I don't know how long I sat there, Ah Run didn't speak, just accompanied him, this day he didn't go to the morning court, just kept silent, and now Ah Run himself is also confused, and he doesn't know what Gu Zhao is going to do. If you are angry, where should you go to persuade me?He just knew that Ah Run was not angry with him for hiding it, as if he was competing with him for something.

At the beginning of the hour, Gu Maofeng's son, 15-year-old Gu Yunwei, and his second uncle Gu Maoming came to the mansion to report the funeral.

Gu Yunwei is a child who usually doesn't show his face, and rarely appears in front of others. Now he often goes to school and doesn't go home very often, and his mother is dull, so Gu Zhao doesn't see this child very often. Now he sees the child kneeling As he spoke, his smiling face was blank, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Maybe this child doesn't know in his life that his father was killed by him, and it was because he drank too much wine and had a few words with Gu Yunjing that he turned himself into an orphan.

Gu Maoming was dumbfounded. This honest man felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where the problem was, and he didn't dare to ask. Now that he was here with his little uncle, he still didn't dare to ask.

His younger brother is dead, so he doesn't need to kneel down to report the funeral, but, such a big brother, although he always looks down on him, how can he die when he dies?

Gu Zhao asked someone to help Gu Yunwei to get up. He should pretend, because he was embarrassed inside, and he couldn't show any surprise on the surface, so he could only ask lightly: "Why not?"

Perhaps his attitude was wrong, Gu Maoming was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Back to my little uncle, I thought that the third brother was only about his legs, but I didn't think... the third brother also had internal injuries. My doctor, who would have thought that it was fine yesterday, and I saw my third brother screaming so loudly that I thought it would be fine in a few days..." Gu Maoming whimpered a few times, and then said: "Who will accept that? I thought, suddenly something went wrong last night, I vomited half a basin of blood, and then I called the family doctor, and the third child was gone before he arrived in the yard... The family doctor said, I am afraid that the liver inside is broken, hey, this I mean, whoever has such an enmity with our family, our family has always done good deeds, how can it be done, can be...it is actually beating people to death..."

Gu Zhao didn't say anything, just asked him: "How is your father?"

Gu Maoming hurriedly bowed and said: "It's about this matter, the little uncle doesn't know, the third child went away yesterday, and my father fainted at that time. For such a big matter, if you can't find a next door, you always have to vent your anger , Father woke up last night and lost his temper. Those who went out with the third child yesterday were all beaten to death. Those who served in the third room are now driven out of the village, and those who can't be guarded are also sent to the temple. Hey, there is also a group of people who can't speak, they can only cry, the biggest is this, they are still children..." At this point, Gu Maoming patted Gu Yunwei's head.

Gu Yunwei didn't react, and it was still like a dream.He didn't feel that his father had gone, and when he opened his eyes for a while, it must be false, so he did what others told him to do, he was like a fool, and his soul was lost.

Gu Maoming was still chattering there, and felt that this little uncle was not an outsider, so it was inevitable that he would talk a lot: "A catastrophe, a catastrophe! Is that what you said? Okay, why did such a thing happen? The old man Sanna has always been a timid person. He just wanted to make a fool of himself, but he didn't do anything serious? The little uncle knows that the family has always been strict. How do you call it? Oh, when I came out today, My mother said, if... the little uncle is cheaper, go earlier, and talk to my father about other things. After all... this is a white-haired man giving a black-haired man, and he will die when he dies... You can't hurt the old man The ones fell down too, and now there are piles of immature ones at home..."

Gu Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly, and hurriedly sent this guy to Zhuzhi's side to report the funeral, if he didn't stop this family from nagging.

After Gu Maoming left, Gu Zhao also changed into a plain and clean body. Although the younger generation went, although he didn't need to wear mourning, he had to wrap his head with a cloth belt to express his sadness. He also had to pay attention to his body. I can't wear it anymore.

It's strange to say that his feet have been bad for the past few days, but now that things have happened a lot, there are signs of healing on his feet, and several cracks have now healed up.

Going out of the gate of the mansion and getting into the light car, Gu Zhao came to the main entrance of the Duke's mansion in Pingzhou Lane in the blink of an eye.

Because the junior passed away, the main entrance only wrapped the animal's head with a white cloth, and the rest were the same as before, but when entering the alley, a side door was opened near the courtyard of the third child. I changed into cloth shoes with ropes, because the third child went there last night, so he is probably still wrapped in a corpse bath at this moment, and it is still quiet over there.When passing by, Gu Zhao opened the car curtain to take a look, but saw Fu Ji helping at the door, it was hard for the child to have such thoughts, so he arrived by himself without asking.

Gu Zhao arrived at the elder brother's door in a small sedan chair, hesitated for a long time and finally entered the house, the smell of soup and medicine was pungent upon entering the door.His old brother was half lying on the bed, with a cloth band wrapped around his head, he had aged a lot overnight, his complexion was not rosy, and even if he was far away, he could see the irresistible age spots on his face.

Lu Shi, who was sitting on the side with a bitter face, suddenly saw Gu Zhao's eyes and his eyes lit up.

Gu Zhao was full of pity and conflict in his heart, walked over slowly, sat quietly on the side of the bed, when he sat down, Gu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, suddenly took his hand and said: "Lao Qi..." He only vomited After saying two words, the old man immediately burst into tears. I am afraid that the ones who really shed tears for Gu San are his biological parents.

"I always thought...you wouldn't come today..." The old man's mouth was trembling.

"Brother." Gu Zhao murmured, wanting to apologize, but didn't know where to say it.

Gu Yan waved his hand with difficulty and stopped him: "Don't say it, it's all over." After that, he struggled to get up, and Lu Shi who was sitting over there hurried over to help serve, but Gu Yan said: "You go out , let’s talk about something else.”

Lu smiled wryly, and looked up at Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao nodded at his old sister-in-law, and the old lady felt relieved and hurried out the door.

When Mrs. Lu went out, Gu Yan half leaned against the soft pillow, still tightly holding Gu Zhao's hand, and after a long time, the old man found some strength and finally said, "It's the old brother, I'm sorry for you. "

Gu Zhao was embarrassed, oh, yes, he should have looked at this issue with the eyes of this era, he was doing it for the good of this family.

Gu Yan smiled wryly: "In the past, I often listened to the human way that a man's beloved son was rarely evenly distributed... Those who favored favoritism, even though they wanted to use favors to make them worse... The ancients explained everything clearly, but I couldn't help it But...he is smarter than his elder brother and younger brother, and I feel pity for him as a bastard, and I am always reluctant to blame him. It is always my fault, but I worry about my younger brother, such a heinous disaster...how could he dare! "

Gu Zhao didn't persuade him, but he just looked up and saw a bowl of decoction on the table, so he stood up and touched it with his hands. The temperature was right, and he thought it was still hot.He picked up the bowl and helped the old brother to drink it, and took a cloth towel to help the old brother lick the corners of his mouth. After finishing these, he still took his brother's hand and helped him massage.

Gu Yan held back his words, and finally found something to say, so he also nagged: "I know, he is not convinced, he is here, he must be reluctant to go. I am not afraid to tell him!"

Gu Zhao raised his eyes to look around, and suddenly felt creepy.

"He has a mother, a brother, a brother, a nephew, a man and a woman, and the young and old who are dependents of the family. Everyone is a family. If he is successful, honest, and simple, he will always think about it." These people must always know that he is not making a living for himself, everyone must live..."

The old brother's endless nagging...
