Chapter 384 Backbone

Half a month passed in a flash, and when the Su family's ship sent Gu Shaoyu and others to Jinling City, it was already the end of October.

The cold wind of early winter blew across the entire Jinling City, bringing with it a chill.

Along the way, Gu Shaoyu's mood was no better than the weather. Du Jingyi, who had received the news early, specially asked Xing Zhao to pick them up at the dock and brought Su Yi with him.

When he saw Gu Shaoyu, Xing Zhao also looked distressed.

He was obviously the same person as before, but he looked much more aged. One could imagine how much of a blow the death of Mrs. Gu had dealt him.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

Gu Shaoyu didn't say anything, just patted Xing Zhao on the shoulder and then asked.

"How's things at home?"

"My cousin's wife is watching, but nothing has happened. It's just that someone from the seventh branch of the Gu family went there a few days ago, and maybe one of my cousins ​​said something unpleasant, so there was a little verbal dispute, but it was suppressed by the seventh old master, so my cousin's wife didn't pursue it."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's eyes became even more unhappy. Was he trying to bully his wife by taking advantage of his absence? Seeing his unfriendly expression, Xing Zhao knew that this was not the time to find fault, so he quickly took out the plain clothes and handed them over, interrupting him.

"Don't be angry, cousin. Let's go back and pay respect to our great-grandmother first. My cousin's wife asked me to bring this plain clothing. She told you to wash it in the inn that the Su family built for you to rest, and then change your clothes before going back."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't say much and went with the people who came with him. After everyone washed and changed their clothes, they got on their horses and headed towards the Gu family.

I feel nervous when I am close to home.

Even though Gu Shaoyu had known about his grandmother's passing for more than half a month, he couldn't help but take a small step back when he actually saw the plain white silk in front of the Gu family's door.

When Luo Yuan saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward to support his general's back. Although he was a playful person on weekdays, he had to be the general's strongest backer now! When the doorman at the door of the Gu family saw Gu Shaoyu, he also shouted to the inside with red eyes.

"Quick, tell the young lady that the general is back!"

"yes!"

Soon, the servant ran inside shouting, and soon everyone in the Gu family heard it.

Gu Shaoyu strode over, and his appearance brought the entire Gu family back to life.

Although he had changed into plain clothes, the beard on his face revealed his sadness of the past few days, and his brows were furrowed and did not relax.

When he walked to the front of the mourning hall, the people of the Gu family stood up or turned around to look at him, their eyes filled with excitement and sadness.

"Shao Yu, you are finally back."

"Brother, grandma is gone, gone..."

"Sixth Uncle!"

The eldest aunt is still bedridden, and the second and third aunts are in such bad health that they can only stay awake for two days and rest for one day. Therefore, Du Jingyi, the fourth aunt, Gu Xiaolang and Shang Zhiping became the main force in this wake.

Fortunately, they are all young people and can endure it. Although their appearance is a little worse, their physical condition is still good.

My eldest sister-in-law is in charge of the family's meals and is extremely tired.

Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun wanted to come to keep vigil, but they were both pregnant, especially Gu Xiaoyun, who was less than two months pregnant, just a few days before Madam Gu passed away.

Her reaction was very severe. She vomited everything she ate. Therefore, the second brother-in-law Huo Silang had to stay by her side and could not come over. Instead, the eldest brother-in-law Su Erlang came here to watch over her during the day, and went back to watch over the eldest aunt and Gu Xiaochun at night. After more than half a month of tossing and turning, he had lost a lot of weight.

So in the past two days, Du Jingyi asked him to rest more in the yard and come back to replace them in two days. Seeing this, Su Erlang agreed.

It's just that Du Jingyi's body, which had just recovered a few days ago, had almost been consumed during the days of keeping vigil. Her belly, which originally had a little bit of fat, was now smaller than before she was pregnant due to excessive fatigue.

His eyes were filled with fatigue, but his complexion was still good.

When she looked into the eyes of her husband, tears suddenly fell from her eyes. When the others saw Gu Shaoyu, they also started crying.

Everyone was sad in their own way, but when they were piled together they all turned into a sigh from Gu Shaoyu. When he knelt before the spirit tablet, on the cushion, there was a hint of trembling in Gu Shaoyu's voice.

"My grandson is late, grandma..."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times with such great force that when he stood up again, his body was already red and swollen. Although Du Jingyi felt distressed, he also knew that if his sadness was not relieved by these, more problems might arise!

So he didn't try to stop him, but just took a stack of gold and silver paper money and walked over and whispered.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"General, please burn some gold and silver for grandma, so that she can have a better life over there."

Gu Shaoyu looked up at Du Jingyi, feeling sorry for her for being able to hold on until now, so he reached out and touched her thinning cheek and said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam. I'm back now. You can take Fourth Aunt and Third Sister back to rest first. Get some sleep. I have something to tell you tonight."

Of course Gu Shaoyu could see that they were all holding on, so as not to let outsiders look down on the Gu family. The Gu family was now considered to be large, but those were just babies, who had just died. Could they support the family now?

So, when he came back, everyone felt relieved.

Du Jingyi wanted to accompany her husband, so she said to her fourth aunt.

"Ping'er has been up all night, so let him go back and rest first. I will stay here with the general to burn some gold and silver for grandma before we leave."

Knowing that the couple might have something to say, Fourth Aunt didn't waste any time and limped away with Gu Xiaolang and Shang Zhiping.

As for Xing Zhao, Luo Yuan and others, they did not want to come up and cause trouble. They just bowed three times outside and then stayed in the yard.

After kneeling for so many days, whose knees wouldn’t be bruised?

Du Jingyi stood up and wanted to move over to accompany Gu Shaoyu, but his legs and feet were so numb that he couldn't even stand up.

Seeing this, Yingtao wanted to help Du Jingyi, but she was picked up sideways by Gu Shaoyu. After looking around, he saw a bench at the back and helped her sit over it before speaking.

"You just had a baby, and you've been burning the midnight oil for too long. Grandmother knows how filial you are to her, so she won't mind. I'll just do the burning."
