Chapter 333 Elimination of the Family
Gu Yanfei adjusted his dress a little, ignored the cat, and went to the hall of the outer courtyard with the old woman who came to tell the story.
From a distance, she could see the patriarch in the robe of Tai Shiqing walking back and forth in the hall, even if he didn’t say a word, he couldn’t hide the uneasiness and embarrassment in his heart.
Seeing Gu Yanfei coming, the patriarch’s old face showed a pleasing smile.
“Yan Fei, you asked someone to call me here, but what’s the urgency?” the patriarch asked in a good voice, his posture was very low because he lacked the air of an elder.
After Gu Jian and the others were imprisoned, the people in the clan were panicking, for fear that one day Jin Yiwei would also rush to their house to take someone and let them and Gu Jian be convicted together.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Yanfei sent someone to pass the message, the patriarch couldn’t wait to come.
Gu Yanfei casually stroked his sleeves and said lightly, “Gu Yunchang has changed his surname to Li. I specially invited my uncle and grandfather to come here to revise the genealogy.”
“…” The patriarch still didn’t know what happened in Tianhe Garden, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Gu Yanfei briefly explained the whole story, and the patriarch was amazed and had mixed feelings in his heart.
Knowing that it was the emperor who issued an oral order, the patriarch naturally had no objection, and responded without saying a word: “I will have someone call the elders of the clan, and immediately open the ancestral hall to change the genealogy, and remove Gu … Li Yunxuan from the genealogy.”
The matter has reached this point, and the patriarch has no trouble over whether or not there can be a Princess Kang in the clan.
What he cares more about is—
“Yan Fei, then your second uncle, Brother Xiao and the others…” The patriarch cautiously looked at Gu Yanfei and probed, his gray brows furrowed deeply, and he had long since scolded Gu Jian, a mindless cousin, for a long time. all over.
Gu Yanfei took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, sighed slightly, and answered the question: “After returning from Tianhe Garden, King Kang went to Beizhen Fusi to take Li Yunchang out of the prison, and the emperor allowed them to get married in three days.”
“…” The patriarch continued to stare at Gu Yanfei, but did not react. After all, Li Yunchang’s surname was Li, and whether she married King Kang had nothing to do with the Gu family.
Gu Yanfei raised his eyebrows and pointedly said: “Don’t my uncle and grandfather understand?”
She used a questioning tone, but her expression was very determined.
The patriarch frowned and thought for a while, only then did he bluntly understand the unspoken sound of what she had just said, and his pupils shrank rapidly.
Gu Yunchang changed his surname to Li and married King Kang three days later.
This matter seems to be the emperor’s kindness, but in fact, it is clearly to add block to King Kang, and let King Kang marry a family and have children as a princess.
That is to say, Gu Jian is absolutely impossible to get rid of the crime, so King Kang has to come to this step, just to let Jin Yiwei release Li Yunchang.
The patriarch was shocked, the muscles on his face jumped uncontrollably, his right hand clenched the armrest of the red sandalwood Taishi chair, and the back of his hand, covered with age spots, burst into blue veins.
He realized something deeply:
Since even King Kang is helpless, Gu Jian is helpless.
The case is a foregone conclusion.
This cognition made the patriarch feel frightened. It was Rongrong Yangchun outside, but his heart was as piercingly cold as falling into an ice cave, and there was a look of apprehension in his eyes.
Gu Jian was involved in rebellion, what about these clansmen?
Even if the crime does not involve the nine clans and are sent into exile, but some members of the clan are suspected of rebelling, I am afraid that a lot of clan property will be confiscated, and even the children’s and grandchildren’s academic examinations, entry into office, and children’s marriage will be affected.
According to the old rules, those involved in conspiracy are serious, like the Yu clan raiding their homes, and the light ones will be fined and confiscated 30% of the family’s property, and even three generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examination.
Gu Yanfei slowly skimmed off the foam with the tea lid, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Nine years ago, his father Gu Ce was accused of subjugating the enemy, and his father was not even buried in Gu’s ancestral tomb. Of course, this cannot be decided by Mrs. Gu alone, and must also be obtained by the patriarchs and elders of the clan. consent.
At that time, the eldest brother Gu Yuan was only nine years old, and his future was uncertain, and Gu Jian took the title. Why did the patriarch and the others make this choice at that time, to put it bluntly, they weighed the benefits and losses.
is not incomprehensible, but it makes people feel cold!
For their own benefit, they sided with Mrs. Gu and Jane Gu and abandoned the long house nine years ago.
For their own benefit, what will they choose now, nine years later? !
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. He hurriedly went to serve the tea cup. He drank a sip of tea absentmindedly, his tongue tingling from the scalding hot tea.
He put down the tea cup impatiently again. The tea cup slammed lightly on the coffee table, and the sound of the collision was particularly loud in this silent hall.
After the initial panic and anxiety, the patriarch tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and said in a friendly tone: “Yan Fei, my uncle and grandfather ask you for an idea.”
“I also know that your grandmother and your second uncle made a big mistake, but if they are convicted, what about your elder brother’s errand… and your marriage?”
The patriarch frowned deeply and hinted at her euphemistically.
Gu Yanfei chuckled softly, and he flipped the tea lid with his hands, making a ding-dong sound of porcelain knocking.
Every sound was like a needle piercing the patriarch’s heart. The patriarch felt a little embarrassed. He felt that in front of Gu Yanfei, there was nowhere to hide his cares.
“Cough cough.” The patriarch coughed a few times, feeling cramped in his heart, and said warmly with an embarrassed expression, “Yan Fei, Ajian is your second uncle, if he is accused of treason…”
“Uncle and grandfather,” Gu Yanfei interrupted him, put down the pastel enamel tea cup in his hand, and reminded with a half-smile, “The emperor knows that my grandmother and my eldest brother’s grandmother is Qi Chaoning.”
“Also, the old lady and the second uncle falsely accused my eldest brother of murder, did the uncle forget it?”
“…” The patriarch naturally remembered it.
On the day when Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian went up for business, the patriarch went to the emperor to clarify.
Gu Yanfei shook his head and sighed: “Such a grandmother?”
“Such a second uncle?”
She bluntly revealed her disdain for Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian’s mother and son.
“…” The patriarch was speechless, his brows furrowed even tighter: The emperor sympathized with Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei’s brothers and sisters, and would not be angry with Gu Jian for moving the long house, but it was hard to say in the Gu clan.
Gu Yanfei sighed softly: “If only grandfather hadn’t continued the string…”
The patriarch’s heart was shocked, his eyes were slightly wide, and he saw Gu Yanfei, who was sitting on the top, smiling, but the smile was not as deep as the bottom of his eyes.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment.
The patriarch’s whole person was full of energy, and he suddenly understood.
indeed.
If only cousin Gu Xuan didn’t renew the string…
Then, the old lady and the little Qi family have no name and no position, and Gu Jian is not even a Gu family member, so naturally he will not be involved in the clan!
Patriarch’s originally chaotic eyes gradually settled down, but he still had some hesitation in his heart.
Gu Yanfei raised the corners of his lips that were slightly raised, and seemed to see the hesitation of the patriarch, and asked with a smile: “Uncle and grandfather, do you think so?”
She looked at the patriarch calmly.
Does the family choose to make a clear relationship with Gu Jian, or just sit back and wait for Gu Jian to be implicated? !
The patriarch gripped the armrest of the Taishi chair tighter and swallowed.
This choice is too easy.
The patriarch’s ears could hear his own heavy heartbeat, which was getting faster and faster.
After a long silence, the patriarch released his right hand holding the armrest, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.
He straightened his expression, rationalized his thoughts, and said earnestly, “In those days your grandfather hired the daughter of Qi’s family as his first wife. After you and your elder brother’s grandmother, Da Qi, died, your grandfather did not inform the clan that he would The continuation of the marriage.”
“Really?” Gu Yanfei took another sip of tea and lifted his eyelids, “I don’t know that.”
Her expression was neither surprised nor happy, calm as water, but the patriarch seemed to be encouraged.
He stroked his gray beard and sighed solemnly: “Perhaps when your grandmother, Da Qi, died, she remembered that A Ce was young, so she entrusted her widowed sister to take care of A Ce.”
“I didn’t expect this little Qi to take advantage of your grandfather’s death and take her son Dove to occupy the magpie’s nest.”
At first, the patriarch spoke dryly. The more he spoke, the more natural and fluent he became. His heartbeat gradually changed from fast to calm, and the last sentence was eloquent.
He completely denied the marriage between Gu Xuan and Xiao Qi. These remarks were made up casually, and naturally they were full of loopholes, but the patriarch knew that no one would investigate these loopholes, as long as it was logical enough.
“So that’s the case.” Gu Yanfei casually agreed, his eyes deep like a pool.
The patriarch seemed to have taken a reassurance, and he was calm, and continued to say: “Fifteen years ago, your grandfather had a sudden illness, and he went so quickly that he didn’t have time to leave any words.”
“For so many years, you and your eldest brother have regarded Xiao Qi as your grandmother, and also my uncle’s grandfather… Hey, I was also deceived by Xiao Qi. You brothers and sisters are very kind.”
The patriarch looked at Gu Yanfei almost with bated breath, with a restrained expression.
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly, and looked at the patriarch with a very “simple” and “innocent” look, “Uncle and grandfather, I am young and I don’t understand this. How to deal with this matter, I have to rely on my uncle and grandfather to make a charter. come out.”
She gently and skillfully pushed this matter to the patriarch, and she made a lot of money.
“…” The patriarch’s expression stiffened again, and a thin cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
He felt like his heart was being pinched by Gu Yanfei in his palm, and he could hardly look directly into her transparent eyes.
The girl’s face is beautiful and her smile is like a flower, even brighter than the pink peaches that are full of trees and branches outside the window. Her eyes are extremely clear and bright, with a sharp light like the edge of a sword.
The patriarch’s heart suddenly tightened, and through the girl’s eyes, he couldn’t help thinking of Gu Ce.
The patriarch stayed for a long time before he regained his composure, calmed down, and hurriedly agreed: “Yan Fei, tell your elder brother, I will definitely handle this matter properly, you can rest assured.”
He comforted himself in his heart: Up to now, the clan can only survive by cutting off their tails, and the mother and son of Xiao Qi and Gu Jian are also self-inflicted.
Gu Jian is useless and can’t be saved, but Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei have a good future, and it is obvious how to choose to benefit the clan.
“What did my uncle and grandfather say, what do I want to ‘relieve’?” Gu Yanfei smiled with a crooked face, an innocent smile.
The patriarch realized that he had made a blunder, and quickly said: “I am clumsy, I am setting things right. It’s been so many years, it’s long overdue to make things right!”
Gu Yanfei smiled happily: “Then I will trouble my uncle and grandfather.”
Now that the matter is over, Gu Yanfei will directly serve tea to the guest.
The patriarch said his farewell wisely, and Juan Bi sent him out of the hall.
The setting sun is almost setting outside, only a faint red glow remains in the western sky, the sky is dim and yellow, and the crescent moon is a faint white, looking down at all beings.
After walking a few dozen feet straight, the patriarch couldn’t help but wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuff, and his back was already wet with sweat.
He stopped under a locust tree and looked back in the direction of the hall with lingering fears.
The girl in the hall is drinking tea gracefully, her slender figure is particularly slender and relaxed against the backdrop of the high-backed chair.
Recalling the conversation he had just had with Gu Yanfei, the patriarch became more and more frightened. He was in his sixtieth year, but he was completely led by the nose of a little girl who had just turned his head. All his thoughts and worries were under the control of the other party.
From the beginning to the end, she never coerced or spoke badly. She clearly wanted Xiao Qi’s and Gu Jian’s mother and son to get rid of the clan, but in the end she let him take the initiative in a few words, and she had to be grateful to her for being out of the clan. got the idea.
Why!
The patriarch sighed in his heart and told himself: When it is broken, it will be broken. For the sake of the clan, he must finish this matter.
The patriarch turned his head, gritted his teeth secretly, and hurriedly left the Gu residence.
It was getting late today, so the patriarch went back to the mansion first. Early the next morning, he and his eldest son, Gu Chou, went to visit several elderly people with high morals and respect in the clan. Some of them lived in the capital city, some lived in the suburbs of Beijing, and the father and son It took a whole day to walk around these people, and I was exhausted.
At dawn the next day, he and his eldest son came to Gu’s house again with the elders of the clan. The head of the clan took the initiative to put things right and scolded the little Qi’s dove for occupying the magpie’s nest. Gu Jian was not Gu’s family at all. The family tree is removed, and it is a positive family style.
But in just half an hour, the patriarch presided over the revision of the genealogy, and all the names of the people in the house of Xiao Qi and Gu Jian, including Gu Yunqiang, were removed from the genealogy.
When the revised genealogy was re-sealed in the ancestral hall, the patriarch was relieved, and most of the boulder in his heart fell.
The elders of the clan gathered around Gu Yanfei and said a few words of intimacy and goodwill, and then they left first. The father and son of the patriarch stayed until the end. When they got on the carriage at the Waiyimen, the patriarch made a conscious promise:
“Yan Fei, I will go to Beizhen Fusi later to see if I can meet Xiao Qi’s and Gu Jian’s mother and son, and tell them about it.”
The patriarch did not want to go to such an unlucky place as Zhao Prison, and he was not confident that he would be able to enter, but he had to settle this matter quickly, so that the Gu Yuan brothers and sisters could see the sincerity of the clan.
When Gu Yuan returned at noon that day, everything was a foregone conclusion.
