"What the father said is that the son is dull."

Seeing that he had calmed down, the Seventh Old Master spoke calmly.

"Don't worry about anything now. Just watch your surroundings carefully. My eldest brother has been dead for so many years, and we have only removed two hidden agents. We don't know how many are left. When my eldest sister-in-law died, I deliberately revealed some clues. I want to see if the couple can detect it. If they have activated those hidden agents, we can follow the clues to find out."

What the Seventh Old Master was planning was not the little power in Jinling City at all, but something much more grand. After all, if the eldest brother could firmly follow the founding emperor and obtain the favor today, it might not be impossible for him to do the same.

With this clear guidance, Gu Yanguang became much more cheerful and soon knew what he should do.

The days passed quickly, and soon it was time for Mrs. Gu's funeral.

The sky full of paper money and funeral music filled the eyes and ears of the people. There were naturally roadside sacrifices set up by each family, as well as funeral processions organized spontaneously by the people.

When Madam Gu was still alive, she was kind and generous. The Gu family had a strict family tradition and there had never been any reports of them bullying the common people. Therefore, everyone had a good impression of the Gu family.

In addition, in order to maintain peace on the border, the Gu family buried so many people. Even though they had forgotten some of them over the years, with the death of Old Madam Gu, these old thoughts once again rushed back to everyone's mind.

Therefore, compared to the red-eyed and pale-faced Gu family members, some of the people who attended the funeral cried even more uncontrollably.

Before leaving today, Gu Shaoyu asked the wet nurse to bring the four children to kowtow and burn incense respectfully to their grandmother in front of the mourning hall before starting the funeral procession.

When he left, he asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law to take good care of the children at home, and left Luo Yuan and others to guard them.

Naturally, he was walking in front, dressed in mourning, holding the tablet of Old Madam Gu, followed closely by the rest of the Gu family.

Today, my aunt also appeared in the funeral procession dressed in plain clothes. She was supported by people on both sides and moved forward little by little.

Originally, Du Jingyi had arranged a sedan chair for her, but the aunt insisted on walking by herself, so he had no choice but to ask three or four doctors to follow the team so that they could take care of the sick aunt and the pregnant Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun at any time.

We walked all the way north, stopping and starting.

The Gu family's ancestral tomb is located in Qingshui Town of Jinling City, so on this section of the road in the city, everyone walked forward step by step, and only when they reached the outside of the city did they get on the carriages one after another and headed for Qingshui Town.

The journey was not that far, just half an hour.

But for the sick and pregnant aunt and others, it was a torture. So when the carriage stopped in front of the Gu family ancestral hall, the faces of the three of them were very ugly.

Du Jingyi acted promptly and asked the maidservants who served them to be sent to the side rooms to rest immediately, and then asked the doctor to treat them. As for her, she followed her husband Gu Shaoyu to first deliver the tablet of Old Madam Gu to the ancestral hall, and then wait for an auspicious time to bury her.

This was Du Jingyi's first visit to the Gu family's ancestral hall.

As she slowly climbed the stairs, the ancestral hall of the aristocratic family that had stood for hundreds of years finally appeared before her.

In the past, she only knew that the Gu family was a famous and prominent family in Jinling City, and that it was a family that had survived for hundreds of years, but she did not have a very clear understanding of this. It was not until now, looking at this intricate and solemn ancestral hall, that she felt what hundreds of years of glory meant.

At this point, the respect in her heart increased a little more. She accompanied her husband upright and solemnly to carry the tablet of her grandmother, Madam Gu, inside and placed it next to the tablet of Marshal Gu.

Here, the other members of the Gu family who had had a slight quarrel with them at home before were now standing aside with solemn expressions. It was obvious that they all had deep respect for Old Madam Gu, so there was not the slightest blasphemy.

However, these people did not include the evil-minded Seventh Old Master. When he looked at the tablets of Marshal Gu and Madam Gu standing side by side, there was no ripple in his heart.

After retracting his gaze, he looked towards the swaying Changming Palace Lantern not far away, with the words "Gu Family's Prosperity and Position" written on it, which meant to protect the future and fortune of all the descendants of the Gu family.

Seeing this, he felt a little more sarcastic.

How can the laws of nature be better than human efforts? If you want your family to prosper, you have to fight for it.

Unfortunately, he had learned over the past few decades to keep all his emotions to himself, so no one could tell anything wrong from his expression. They just assumed that he had a slight dispute with Gu Shaoyu a few days ago, which was why he looked indifferent and expressionless.

With the cry of "the ceremony is over", the tablet of Old Madam Gu was properly placed. She would stay here and share with Old Marshal Gu the worship and commemoration from generations of the Gu family's descendants.

The auspicious time was set for two hours later, so the people who had traveled all the way here could finally have a break.

After returning to the wing, Du Jingyi first found a doctor to inquire about the condition of his aunt and others. After receiving a relatively affirmative answer, he felt a lot more relieved.

Then he gave instructions to Cherry.

"Let's ask the ancestral hall's kitchen to send some food to everyone. The ceremony will start in two or three hours at least. Everyone should fill their stomachs so that they won't be too hungry when the time comes."

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

We should mourn the deceased, and the living should also take care of their own health.

"Yes, Madam."

After Yingtao left, Du Jingyi walked up to Gu Shaoyu, sat down, took his hand and spoke to him comfortingly.

"Although we can no longer fulfill our filial duties, it is good for grandma to be reunited with grandpa in the underworld. She has devoted her whole life to the Gu family, so the general should also be relieved."

Du Jingyi could sense that Gu Shaoyu's mood had become much lower since coming to the ancestral hall. Although his expression did not change much, as his partner, he could still sense his emotions.

Gu Shaoyu didn't say much, he just held her hand back and quietly digested his emotions.

After having a simple meal of pastries, the two closed their eyes and rested for a while.

When the auspicious time was almost approaching, Cherry came in and woke the two of them up, then she tidied up a little and went to the ancestral grave where the burial was to take place.

Outside Qingshui Town, there is a piece of land of one hundred acres, which is the Gu family’s cemetery.

It’s just that some are main branches, and some are side branches. The place where Old Madam Gu is to be buried is in the center of the entire cemetery. The emperor ordered the craftsmen who repaired the imperial mausoleum to specially build this place for the heroic souls of the Gu family.

Marshal Gu and the men of the Gu family who died in the battle are all buried here.
