Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 173.2

I couldn’t see it, seeing the other children riding on his father’s shoulders, he pulled Jiang He, pointed at the child riding his father and said, “Uncle, I want it too, I want it too.”

Jiang He’s face darkened and he wanted to pull him away, but Gu Jiusi sat on the ground, crying, Jiang He was helpless, gritted his teeth, and finally dragged him to buy a mask, and then came back, Put him on his shoulders.

“Gu Jiusi, let me tell you,” Jiang He gritted his teeth, “If you don’t take good care of me when I’m old, I’ll kill you.”

Gu Jiusi felt that he was drunk. He seemed to be in a candlelight. Seeing Jiang He’s lively and beating appearance, he raised his hand, supported his forehead, and let out a low whimper.

I can now honor you…

He thought, but why did you leave like this?

Gu Jiusi had a hangover all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Gu Jiusi got the news that Zhou Gaolang had ordered troops overnight and sent troops to Yuzhou to support.

Then Zhou Gaolang prepared the enthronement ceremony, and two days later, he was officially enthroned.

His enthronement ceremony was very simple, without any luxurious and grand outfits, as simple as he was. On the day he ascended the throne, he announced that Zhou Ye would be the heir, and made him sit in the capital of the Eastern Capital. Then he led the soldiers and headed straight to Yuzhou in the early morning of the next day.

Not three days after Zhou Gaolang left, the Gu family came back one after another. With the support of Zhou Gaolang, Shen Ming and Ye Yun also returned to Dongdu. Liu Yuru was delayed for a few days due to illness, and finally returned to Dongdu the day before Jiang He’s funeral.

When she returned to the Eastern Capital, the Eastern Capital had returned to its former prosperity. After all, there was no major mutiny, and it was restored the next day.

Gu Jiusi came to pick her up at the city gate. At that time, Liu Yuru was sitting in the carriage. From a distance, she saw Gu Jiusi in a dark red robe, with a hairband half-turned, holding a small fan and standing at the door. The appearance of the deputy elegant son.

Liu Yuru’s carriage arrived, he jumped on the carriage, Liu Yuru was lying on the side, holding a heater in his hand, he hurriedly went to check her and said: “I heard that you are ill, I thought I’m going to find you, but there are too many things here, and I really can’t get away.”

Liu Yuru did not speak, Gu Jiusi continued: “Did you eat something on the way?”

Liu Yuru still looked sick and ignored Gu Jiusi.

Gu Jiusi couldn’t help laughing: “It’s so sick that he didn’t even tell me anything.”

“Tell me,” Liu Yuru finally said, “How much money will it cost to reward the three armies?”

Hearing this, Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, then smiled: “So you are angry with me?”

“You didn’t earn the money,” Liu Yuru gave him a push, dissatisfied, “You spend it like paper.”

“I was wrong,” Gu Jiusi blinked and leaned over, “Forgive me, I promise, there will never be another time.”

Liu Yuru heard this, but didn’t speak, she fixedly looked at him, Gu Jiusi was stared at him so directly, and after a while, she was a little embarrassed: “You, staring so much. What are you looking at me?”

“Gu Jiusi,” Liu Yuru sighed, raised her hand and pinched his face, “Your face is really too expensive.”

“You can’t buy what you like.”

Gu Jiusi happily leaned over, hugged Liu Yuru, and when he hugged this person, he felt that this person was in his arms. He originally had a lot of witticisms, but he didn’t say anything.

He leaned against Liu Yuru, Liu Yuru raised her hand to comb his hair, and said gently, “Is Shen Ming okay?”

“I’m a little hurt,” Gu Jiusi listened to her heartbeat and said, “Ye Yun is with you, you’re on your way back now, you’ll see them in two days.”

“It’s fine.”

Liu Yuru sighed, Gu Jiusi leaned in her arms for a while, and finally said, “Don’t worry about the money. Brother Zhou and I have discussed it, we will borrow some of the money, and the treasury will Part of it is borrowed from the treasury to pay off within five years, or it can be pledged with an equivalent material.”

Hearing this, Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, then she laughed: “I didn’t expect you to actually keep the money.”

“You can’t really give me all your hard work for me.”

Speaking, Gu Jiusi raised his head, looked at her and said, “I’m like this, it’s better to gamble in Yangzhou.”

“Nonsense,” Liu Yuru raised his hand and poked his head, hugged him and said, “I’m also the official lady, you want to be in Yangzhou, can I still be the official?”

Gu Jiusi leaned against her, he didn’t know what to do, Liu Yuru came, and he was very happy with anything.

The two returned to Gu’s mansion together. Now the rest of the family is still in Yangzhou, and they are the only two left in the house. At night, when Gu Jiusi hugged her, Liu Yuru was quite nervous. Gu Jiusi noticed it and pressed her forehead against her neck, softly saying, “You are still ill, don’t make trouble.”

Liu Yuru smiled unconsciously.

“Tell me about Dongdu.”

Liu Yuru raised her hand and took his hand: “I heard that you are amazing.”

“Then tell me about your time in the Yellow River.”

Gu Jiusi said gently: “I heard that you are amazing.”

Liu Yuru listened, turned around, she put her arms around his neck, and told him about the Yellow River in detail. Then Gu Jiusi told her about Dongdu again. They all spoke very calmly, and everything turned into dust and smoke. As long as the other party was here, everything seemed unimportant.

“The palace ran away that night, and I sent people to arrest them. Most of them committed suicide when they were caught. There was only one called Mingyi. He told me that he wanted to meet you.”

“Meet me?”

Liu Yuru was a little puzzled, Gu Jiusi nodded and said: “I detained him, tomorrow I will bury my uncle, the day after tomorrow we will bury Luo Zishang privately, then I will release him and give him Luo Zishang sees off.”

“Don’t you hate him?”

Liu Yuru was a little puzzled when she heard Gu Jiusi’s arrangement, but Gu Jiusi calmly said, “Luo Zishang is right.”

“He’s sorry for the world, but I take care of the family, and I’m really sorry for him.”

“If he were alive, he would have been stabbed with thousands of swords for his crimes, but now he is dead, the dead are gone, may he rest in peace.”

The two of them said and fell asleep slowly.

The next day, they sent Jiang He up the mountain for burial.

The Jiang family has ancestral graves in the East. Although Jiang He bought a cemetery in Yangzhou, Jiang Rou finally decided to bury Jiang He and Luo Zishang in the East.

“He bought the cemetery for the girl,” Jiang Rou explained, “the girl is now someone else’s wife, so she should let it go. If he was alive, he should think the same.”

The day they were sent up the mountain, many people followed and watched Jiang He carry it up.

Although Jiang He has a flamboyant temper, he is actually very good at being a man. He is very popular in Dongdu. The day he went down to the earth was sunny and sunny, just like him, even if he walked, he walked brightly moving.

Perhaps there is no regret in such a life, he has done everything he should have done, and his wish has also been fulfilled, so everyone is not too sad, only Jiang Rou lowered her head and sobbed softly. Gu Langhua embraced her and said nothing. Gu Jiusi wore filial attire and buried him with his own hands.

After his tombstone was erected, everyone dispersed, Ye Yun stood in front of his tombstone for a while, Shen Ming waited quietly, and when they went down the mountain, Shen Ming finally said: “Let’s go. ”

Ye Yun returned to her senses, she nodded, and went down the mountain with Shen Ming.

On the way down the mountain, the two didn’t say a word, Shen Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and held Ye Yun’s hand.

“I will be nice to you in the future.”

He said awkwardly, Ye Yun heard this, and after a moment of stunned, she laughed: “Don’t be jealous,” she said immediately, “I’m just fascinated by my youth.”

“A person like Mr. Jiang,” Ye Yun looked distant, “too bright.”

Such a romantic and flamboyant person should be admired by everyone, proud to come to this world, and free and easy to leave.

On the second day after Jiang He was buried, the Gu family quietly carried Luo Zishang up the mountain. That day, Gu Jiusi took Mingyi out of the prison. When Mingyi looked at Luo Zishang’s coffin, he looked a little dazed. , Gu Jiusi said calmly: “If you want, send him the last ride.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away?”

Ming raised his hand and brushed over Luo Zishang’s coffin, Gu Jiusi shook his head and said, “If you run away, I’ll catch you back.”

Mingyi didn’t speak, but after a long time, he hoarsely said, “Thank you.”

Speaking, Ming Yi walked to the wooden stake in front of Luo Zishang’s coffin, and together with the others, lifted Luo Zishang’s coffin.

Luo Zishang’s burial, Gu Jiusi did not let others know about it. After quietly carrying him up the mountain, Gu Jiusi and Mingyi buried him together. Afterwards, Gu Jiusi placed the stone tablet that had been prepared on his head, and Mingyi looked at the name on the stone tablet, which read “Jiang’s Zhiren’s Tomb”.

“Jiang Zhiren…”

Ming looked at the name, a little dazed, Gu Jiusi stood beside him and explained: “Mother said, this is the name that my uncle gave his child back then. A gentleman has nine thoughts, and a gentleman knows benevolence and virtue. He can’t even die without a name of his own.”

As soon as Ming didn’t speak, he heard about Luo Zishang’s life experiences from Gu Jiusi’s mouth long ago, he quietly looked at the tombstone, Gu Jiusi turned his head and said to him: “You said you have something to do Tell Yuru, what’s the matter?”

“The same thing.”

Ming came back to his senses, and then said: “Come with me.”

Speaking, Ming Yi led them down the mountain.

The three of them went to Luo Mansion together. Luo Mansion has now been closed down. Gu Jiusi reported it to Zhou Ye according to the procedure, and then led Ming Yi into it.

Luo Fu, which used to be beautiful in the past, is now gloomy and dusty.

Ming Yi led Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru inside, and said slowly: “In the past, your lord has always kept this thing very well. After Xiao Gongzi died, the lord told me that if you see Liu Yuru, Madam, he should return it to her.”

The three of them went to Luo Zishang’s bedroom, Mingyi opened the door, and led them into the dark room.

Liu Yuru stared blankly at the umbrella, and finally recognized that it was Yangzhou Wharf, a paper fan she took out.

As soon as Ming held the umbrella, Liu Yuru looked at the orchid road painted on it, as if she had returned to Yangzhou back then, when Luo Zishang suddenly turned around in the crowd.

She stretched out her hand, and countless images of Luo Zishang flashed in her mind.

However, in the end, what stayed in her mind was Xiao Ming hanging from the city gate, the setting sun was like blood.

This is also a good boy.

The moment Liu Yuru took the umbrella, tears fell suddenly, Ming was stunned for a while, then laughed.

“You can get a tear from Madam,” Ming Yi said gently, “Even if you die, you have no regrets.”

In the evening, Liu Yuru and Gu Jiusi accompanied Mingyi to eat at his favorite Dongdu restaurant. Mingyi said that when he was a child, his family was a poor peasant and the land was forcibly occupied. In desperation, his parents sold him, and he became a slave.

He was young, and his master liked to abuse children. His life was gloomy and gloomy until he was eleven years old when Luo Zishang bought him.

At that time, Luo Zishang was already a disciple of Zhang Huaili, and the world respected Luo Gongzi.

“He said that I have talent for martial arts, but I was not too young at that time,” Ming Yi said calmly, “But the son said that I can do it, that’s it.”

“You…”

Liu Yuru said dryly: “Is it all like this?”

“How?”

Ming Yi was a little puzzled, Liu Yuru said hoarsely: “Xiao Ming said that he was also picked up by Luo Zishang.”

“Since Master Zhang gave him so much,” Gu Jiusi frowned, “Why does he still want to kill him?”

Hearing this, Mingyi was silent for a long time, and finally said: “It’s not that the son wants to kill Master Zhang, but Master Zhang wants to kill the son.”

“Young Master planned to honor Master Zhang for a lifetime, but Master Zhang knew the truth that he was not an orphan of the Luo family, so he wanted to kill him. Master Zhang had a sword in his chest that day, and that was Master Zhang’s stab of.”

“Master Ruozhang won’t give Young Master that sword, and he won’t force Young Master to kill him. Live well, maybe…”

Ming fell silent, then smiled and said, “It’s all over, that’s all.”

Ming Yi finished his meal, Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru took him back to prison. After Gu Jiusi told him a few words, he reassured him: “Shortly, Mr. Li will try your case in person. He has always been fair, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you did, you should pay it back, and if you didn’t do it, you won’t be forcibly withheld. you.”

“I understand.” Ming smiled, “I’m making you worry.”

Gu Jiusi didn’t speak, he never thought that he and Luo Zishang’s people would have such a day.

He was silent for a moment, and finally just nodded, then took Liu Yuru’s hand, Tong Ming said goodbye and turned to leave.

Ming Yi knelt on the ground and looked at the back of Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru holding hands.

Gu Jiusi and Luo Zishang are similar in stature. When Ming looked at him, he seemed to be looking at another Luo Zishang. He suddenly stopped Gu Jiusi: “Master Gu!”

Gu Jiusi stopped, turned around with Liu Yuru, saw Ming Yi looking at him, hesitantly asked, “What does it feel like to be a good person?”

Gu Jiusi was silent for a moment, and then said: “That is, I feel that there is nothing bad and nothing in this world, and I feel that my heart is open and open, and I have no guilt. I am born happy and die without shame.”

Hearing this, Ming smiled: “If there is an afterlife,” he said gently, “I would like to be like Lord Gu.”

Gu Jiusi didn’t speak, after a long time, he finally said: “If you have an afterlife, may you live a peaceful life and have a smooth and worry-free life.”

“Thank you.”

Ming opened with a smile, Gu Jiusi pulled Liu Yuru, and finally walked out.

As soon as they walked out of the prison, they heard the commotion from behind, Gu Jiusi turned around and saw the jailer rushing out: “Sir, Mingyi committed suicide!”

Gu Jiusi is not surprised, he nodded, and then said: “Bury well.”

After he finished speaking, he went out with Liu Yuru. After going out, it was a little cold. Gu Jiusi raised his hand, put it on Liu Yuru’s shoulder, and covered her with his sleeve, afraid of her. blown by the wind.

Liu Yuru walked with him at night, and suddenly said: “Jiusi.”

“Huh?”

“I still want to make money, make a lot of money.”

“Good.”

“But I won’t do it for you this time,” Liu Yuru said. She looked at the person next to her and said with a smile, “I want to build a shantang and a school. I’ve thought about it, Liu Yuru said in a gentle voice, “I don’t care what good things Luo Zishang, Xiao Ming, Mingyi and the others have done, because none of this can change their results, but I hope that there will be no more people like them in this world.” ”

“Xiao Ming is talented, so there should be a place for him to study hard. Ming’s family is poor, and there should be a way out, so as not to be tortured by children but unable to survive. Luo Zi Even if Shang was abandoned in a temple, his adoptive father should not have been beaten to death with nowhere to seek justice…”

“There shouldn’t be so many people like them in this world.”

“Okay.” Gu Jiusi hugged her and said gently, “I’ll accompany you.”

When Liu Yuru heard this, she turned to look at her. The man in front of her, for so many years, has experienced the world as before, but he is always so clear and clean.

Ordinary people sink in the mud and despair in the dark.

But Gu Jiusi is the brightest light in people’s hearts. If he is stuck in a mud pond, he will clean up the mud and restore the water to the pond; if he is in darkness, he will become his own beacon, Light the way forward.

He is a rope and a wall around everyone. He guards the bottom line of everyone and will never give in.

Gu Jiusi hugged Liu Yuru, they walked side by side, walking slowly on the way home.

Liu Yuru raised her eyes and saw the bright stars in the sky, and smelled the fragrance of mountains, rivers and flowers in the wind.

“Gu Jiusi.”

She called his name suddenly, Gu Jiusi looked up at her, Liu Yuru pursed her lips and smiled.

“It’s nothing,” she grabbed his hand and smiled, “I’ll take you home.”

In the first year of Kangping, Emperor Ai of Daxia abolished the cabinet, causing turmoil in the world. Gu Jiusi planned the overall situation, seized Yangzhou, saved Yuzhou, and pacified the Yellow River disaster, guarded the people of Dongdu, and saved Daxia from water and fire.

In September of the first year of Anjian, Emperor Ai Chan was in front of the palace, the commander Zhou Gaolang. At that time, Daxia was in the midst of war. Shi’an was the right minister, Shen Ming was the commander of the front of the palace, and he stayed in the east.

During the period of Prince Ye’s supervision of the country, he lightly taxed and lightly roamed, opened up business and subsidized farmers. There is also a wealthy businessman Gu Liu, who built a shantang internally and established business relations externally. He introduced food from various countries and fine arts from various countries to Daxia, making materials prosperous and people well-being.

The son Zhou Ping is the reserve.

The day Zhou Ye ascended the throne was the eighth day of April in the fourth year of Anjian, when the spring flowers were blooming so well, Zhou Ye set up a ceremony at the altar.

Because of Daxia’s wide-ranging overseas exchanges, the altar was crowded with envoys and courtiers.

Zhou Ye took a carriage from the palace to the altar. He was dressed in a mian robe, with a mysterious upper and a red lower. A crown. Zhou Ye was a little nervous. He straightened his back and didn’t look sideways. From the moment he left the palace, he heard the cheers of the people, and when his carriage passed by, he saw the people kneeling down.

He listened to these voices and felt a little calmer in his heart.

This is his big summer.

This is the country that he, Gu Jiusi, Shen Ming, Ye Shian, Liu Yuru, Ye Yun, Li Yuchang…they spent their whole lives to build and are about to pay for.

He walked from the palace to the altar, and then got off the carriage with the help of the eunuch, and then he stepped into the altar and saw the red carpet spread all the way to the high platform, and on the high platform, is this The most important ministers of the country, the two of them stand on one step, one on the left and one on the right.

They are all wearing the unique costumes of the sacrifice, Gu Jiusi is red, Ye Shian is white, with a jade crown on his head and an ancient sword hanging from his waist, and under them are Li Yuchang, Shen Ming, Qin Nan , Fu Baoyuan…

Everyone looked at him quietly, with smiles on their faces, like the rising sun and the spring.

Zhou Ye followed the etiquette and walked towards the high platform in the ceremony official’s congratulations.

At this time, above the gate tower of the Eastern Capital, Ye Yun led Yunyun Song Xiang to trot up to the gate tower.

“Yuru Yuru!”

Ye Yun ran towards the big clock on the tower and said happily, “Here, Your Majesty is at the altar!”

Beside the big clock stood a woman in purple. She looked gentle and dignified.

This is the first wealthy businessman in Daxia, who was bestowed by Zhou Taizong with the title of “Mrs. Liu”, and the wife of the left minister, Liu Yuru.

According to the ancestral system, they did not have the qualifications to go to the altar to participate in the enthronement ceremony, but Zhou Ye specially made her the bell ringer of the enthronement ceremony in order to show Liu Yuru’s contribution to Daxia over the years.

When the bell rings, the festival officially begins.

This is the first and only bell ringer in the history of Daxia who is a woman and a businessman. However, such an honor does not seem to be important to Liu Yuru.

She is still as usual, calm and peaceful.

Ye Yun was much more excited than her, she looked at Liu Yuru and couldn’t help but say: “Liu Yuru, are you a Jade Bodhisattva? Can you give me some reaction? Don’t you feel happy? Brother Zhou is about to ascend the throne. Well, our time is coming.”

Liu Yuru pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this: “Didn’t our era start sooner?”

These words made Ye Yun stunned, and at this moment, the palace servant ran up and said to Liu Yuru, “Mrs. Liu, you can ring the bell.”

Liu Yuru heard this, she nodded, she raised her hand, supported the stake, and rammed towards the ancient bell.

One, two, three…

The Son of Heaven is nine, and she hit nine times in total.

When she hit her for the first time, birds in the city flew up, ribbons fell from the sky, fireworks shook the eastern capital, and on the dance platforms set up in various places, women’s sleeves bloomed like flowers, silk and bamboo The pipe music drank the cheers of the people and surrounded the eastern capital.

Gu Jiusi raised his head in the sunlight and looked at the distant city tower.

His eyes went all the way through the altar wall, through the roof tile eaves, through the tower lookout, straight to the highest point of the tower.

He vaguely saw above the city tower, that purple clothes fluttering in the wind, and the fragrance of flowers swept across the vast land of Daxia—

The prosperous world of singing and dancing illuminates the world.
