In this way, Gu Rong spent the most desolate New Year's Eve in the capital since he was born.

During this period, Wei Hanyuan made a trip to Jinzhou, and after managing several shops in Jinzhou, he returned to the capital, and with the help of Gu Zhengchu, he bought a house near Gu's residence.

Wei Hanyuan would never stay too far away from Gu Rong, Gu Rong had discussed with her, Wei Hanyuan didn't want to go back to the mansion, but she supported Gu Rong to go back.

Wei Hanyuan is now running a business in Jinzhou, very fulfilling and busy, and she is willing to listen to others calling her "the head of the family".

If Gu Rong moves back to the mansion at that time, Wei Hanyuan will find a way to move several shops in Jinzhou to the capital together.

It's not all for Gu Rong, she just wants to live a life she likes in a place closer to Gu Rong.

She used to stay in the tall mansion of Gu's mansion and couldn't find her own value at all. Now her business is in full swing, and the shop assistants and several shopkeepers also treat her respectfully, which is better than being an aunt in Gu's mansion. Much easier and quicker.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Gu Taian finally failed to make it through and passed away.

Before this, Gu Taian's letter of divorce had been sent to Liu Shi.

It is said that on the day she received the letter of divorce, she was so stimulated that she fainted, and when she woke up, she wanted to pack her things and return to Beijing, but the person Gu Zhengchu sent to deliver the letter was his confidant who had brought back from the military camp, and the other party stopped Liu Shi from letting her leave Huizhou. An, and told her that Gu Tai'an was about to die. After hearing the news, Liu suddenly woke up. What a stupid thing she did to bring Gu Zhiyu back to Hui'an this time.

However, no matter how much trouble she made, it was already too late.

The people sent by Gu Zhengchu held Liu Shi in Hui'an, and brought Gu Zhiyu back to Beijing.

Liu Shi never expected that Gu Tai'an would be so seriously ill.

She should have expected it.

Because when Gu Tai'an first contracted the disease, the doctor said that Gu Tai'an's condition was not very good, and the letter asking Gu Zhengchu to rush back from the barracks as soon as possible was sent by Liu himself.

But at that time, she was all thinking about her own affairs, and she had no time to care about Gu Tai'an, and she was afraid that the epidemic would infect her even more troublesome, so she ran away with Gu Zhiyu.

Now she can't go back even if she wants to.

The day Gu Zhiyu was brought back to Beijing happened to meet Gu Taian for the last time.

But at that time, Gu Tai'an could no longer speak. He was yelling and drinking through the curtain. The doctor sat next to him, holding Gu Tai'an's pulse in his hand, and finally waved at the three young masters outside the curtain. Shaking his head: "My condolences."

Gu Rong sent the doctor out of the mansion with a calm face, while preparing to deal with the follow-up matters in the mansion, Gu Zhengchu called Gu Zhiyu to the courtyard outside, and said to him: "Zhi Yu, if there are too many elder brothers, don't worry about it." Having said that, if you want to go to the military camp with elder brother in the future, elder brother will write to the general to ask for instructions. After a few years of experience in the military camp, you will be able to find an official position, or if you are in Beijing, ask Ronger to invite you. Mister."

"You can't go on like this anymore. What the elder brother said to you last time is not a lie. If you continue to be so unwilling to make progress, you will destroy your future!"

Gu Zhiyu raised his head with dissatisfaction, looked at Gu Zhengchu and said, "Brother, why do you always treat Gu Rong so well, but always speak ill of me and my mother?"

After Gu Rong sent the doctor back, he was going to ask his servants to clean up Gu Tai'an's room as soon as possible. Some things that Gu Tai'an had used could not be kept, and those that should be burned should be burned. Someone had to come to make arrangements for the funeral. Passing by outside the courtyard, but Hearing Gu Zhiyu say such words to Gu Zhengchu.

Gu Rong hesitated, hid aside, and overheard the conversation between Gu Zhengchu and Gu Zhiyu.

"Zhiyu," Gu Zhengchu said calmly, "I don't know where you got the illusion, but my elder brother has never said bad words to you."

Gu Zhiyu sneered: "Aren't you the one who was anxious to send my mother to the government?"

Gu Rong paused, and wanted to show up and say a few words to Gu Zhengchu, but he heard Gu Zhengchu say: "Zhiyu, after my mother passed away, your mother entered Gu's mansion, and I was not even full in the year you were born. Filial piety."

Gu Zhiyu was taken aback.

"When you were one year old, Dad hugged you and came over to me and said, this is your third brother, you should take care of him more as the eldest brother, Rong'er was only a little older than you at that time."

"Brother thinks that he has never treated you badly. Every time he goes out, he brings back some small things. As long as there is Rong'er, you will have a share."

"Father always said that there should be harmony between brothers. Big brother has been telling you the same for so many years?" Gu Zhengchu said, "These big brothers have done it, what about you?"

Gu Rong suddenly felt that perhaps Gu Zhengchu was the person in the Gu family who most resembled Gu Tai'an.

But unlike Gu Tai'an, Gu Zhengchu is upright and responsible, and better able to distinguish right from wrong. He fully meets all Gu Tai'an's expectations for the eldest son of the Gu family.

"The reason why you think that big brother treats you badly is because you never regarded me and Rong'er as your elder brother, and you complained about your father's partiality, saying that Rong'er is useless and a sick child with no merit." At that time, have you ever thought about what Ronger would think?"

"It's not that you were born, everything in the Gu family should be yours, and you can't cover up and indulge your mother just because of the many wrong things she has done. If you could understand this truth early, why would you be here today?"

Gu Zhiyu's face turned blue, but he couldn't refute.

"If you think about what you plan to do in the future, tell your eldest brother, and your eldest brother will help you, but you don't come to look for Rong'er again, this is the only request that your eldest brother asks of you."

Gu Zhiyu raised his head, exchanged glances with Gu Rong who was standing outside the yard, and left the yard with a shake of his hands.

Gu Rong turned around, wanting to stop him to say something, but heard Gu Zhengchu saying from the side: "Let him go."

"I will find someone to watch him and not let him trouble you. If he wants to take the imperial examination, I will find him a good husband, and I will find someone to watch him study. He can't go on like this."

Gu Rong nodded, and said: "It's okay, big brother, there are many people in the Gu family, I will send a few more servants to follow him, so that if he needs anything, there will be someone to take care of him."

Gu Zhengchu said: "Let's deal with father's funeral first."

In the next few days, Gu Rong has been busy dealing with Gu Tai'an's funeral, and Gu Rong has since inherited Gu Tai'an's title.

Although Daning has a saying that the eldest son is orderly, the clan etiquette does not stipulate that the eldest son must be the eldest son to inherit the title. Therefore, although the clan does not agree with Gu Tai'an's approach, the status of the Gu family in the emperor's heart is now It's really not as good as before, I heard that the emperor originally wanted to take back the title of Duke of Tai'an, but Gu Zhengchu took advantage of Gu Tai'an's illness and entered the palace overnight, and I don't know what he said to the emperor, so that the emperor changed his mind.

Now the Gu family inherits the title of Gu Rong, a worthless concubine, his mother has even been kicked out of the Gu family, and he has never said a few words in front of the emperor. There is no value to cling to.

But this is also normal, Gu Tai'an is a mediocre person, it is already good enough to keep the title of the Gu family.

This busy work lasted until the end of January, when Gu Zhengchu arranged all the affairs of the Gu family properly, left Gu Rong with a few reliable people, and then went back to Mobei.

The military order is like a mountain, the situation in Mobei is not good recently, Gu Zhengchu has no time to keep his filial piety.

Gu Rong sent Gu Zhengchu out of the city all the way, Gu Zhengchu gave Gu Rong a few words before leaving.

Now that there are few people in Gu's mansion, those clan members went back soon after attending Gu Tai'an's funeral, and those officials who had been friends with Gu Tai'an in the past also sensed the direction of the wind early on, knowing that Gu Rong, a bastard, is useless, and even some people They didn't even come to the funeral, they hastily sent someone over to send a simple gift and incense as condolences, and they all dispersed.

This is exactly what Gu Rong and Gu Zhengchu wanted, Gu Rong's body couldn't bear it, and Gu Zhengchu didn't like the officials who had a close relationship with Gu Tai'an in the past, so it happened to let Gu's mansion be quiet.

"If someone comes to the mansion again in the future, you will say that you are sick and see no visitors. In fact, the emperor has already had opinions on the matter of father making friends with officials and ministers. It's just because of grandfather's favor. Now that you are in charge of the mansion, you can keep a low profile as much as possible. Keeping Gu's residence can be regarded as fulfilling one of father's wishes."

"Brother, I know."

Gu Rong waved his hand.

Gu Zhengchu got on his horse, and the horse gradually went away.

Gu Rong turned around and saw Song Qianyuan standing behind him.

Recently, Gu Rong was too busy to take care of Song Qianyuan, and Song Qianyuan also had a lot of things to do, so Song Qianyuan contributed a lot to Gu Tai'an's funeral.

"Little Qianzi," the wind was strong outside the city, Gu Rong pushed the hair that was blown on his face by the wind, "I have worked hard on you during this time."

"It's not hard," Song Qianyuan said with downcast eyes, "it's right to do things for the young master."

Gu Rong called the system and asked about the progress of the task progress bar.

The system's answer is only the last point.

He really didn't have the energy to pay attention to Song Qianyuan's progress bar recently, so he didn't know how much it had increased during this period, but the system said that it was only short of the last point, which meant that it was really fast.

In fact, part of the reason why Gu Rong inherited the title and stayed in the capital was because of Song Qianyuan.

After all, the capital is closer to the emperor, and now Song Qianyuan is closely watched by the people of King Beiping.

In the script, Song Qianyuan failed because he was forced to revolt by the King of Peking. If Song Qianyuan had more thoughts and plans in the capital, he might be able to use the power in the palace to counter the King of Peking. by yourself.

For example, what would Song Qianyuan think if the current emperor knew Song Qianyuan's identity?

Of course, this method is too risky.

Firstly, no one knows what attitude the Holy Majesty will have towards Song Qianyuan, a son of the people living in exile. Secondly, even if the Holy Majesty recognizes Song Qianyuan immediately after learning the truth and restores his original identity, he will definitely not be able to abolish him. The present prince was replaced by Song Qianyuan.

What's more, with the magnanimity of today's prince, he will definitely find a way to assassinate Song Qianyuan.

How to do it may still depend on Song Qianyuan himself.

But to Gu Rong's surprise, the emperor took the initiative to find him first, and asked him to let him bring Song Qianyuan into the palace to face the saint soon.

The emperor's current impression of Song Qianyuan should only be limited to that visit by the envoys from the Western Regions, where Song Qianyuan bravely fought fierce tigers in the hunting ground.

After such a long time, the emperor didn't even think about meeting Song Qianyuan at that time, why did he suddenly think of him now?

With such doubts in mind, Gu Rong made preparations the next day and brought Song Qianyuan into the palace to face the saint.
