Chapter 58 The Morality of Being a Man

"Do all the sons and daughters in the capital play with such gadgets?"

Duan Yi looked at Duan Ming who kept taking things out of his arms, and asked with gritted teeth.

Gu Mingrui's yard is the sunniest place in Gu's mansion.

Since the tragedy happened that year, Gu Congrong asked Aunt Gu to lead Gu Mingrui to live in this new house.From the morning here, there will be sunlight shining on the bed through the carved round window, making people feel warm when they see it.

Four seasons flowers are planted around the yard, and from the beginning to the end of the year, there is always one side that is blooming.

Although most of the time, Gu Mingrui did not live in Jincheng, and only said that he was seeking medical treatment outside, as for where he went, not many people knew exactly where he went, and Duan Yi didn't know either.

Duan Ming smiled shyly, "It's nothing. I was often sick when I was young, and my mother didn't let me go out. I spent most of the time on the bed. I don't know anything else. Every time someone comes to see Me, I will bring me some gadgets."

Duan Yi looked at these gadgets speechlessly...

Do you call the nine-link ring made of silver and longan-sized beads called gadgets?God knows that she thought she was living alone on the grave, and the Duan family felt guilty, so gold, silver and money would never treat her badly.

Now that I think about it, she is simply the most benevolent person in the world, so she has kindness in her heart, and everything is kindness!A bunch of old picks, why hasn't she seen a single gadget!

Seeing Duan Yi gritted his teeth loudly, Duan Ming panicked, "These are new and I have never played with them before, so I wanted to show them to my cousin."

Gu Mingrui picked up a bead, shined it on the sun, and became happy, "Come and see, come and see, it's changed..."

When Duan Ming heard this, he also smiled, "I'll teach you how to play beads, but I've only done it on the bed, and I'm not good at it."

Gu Mingrui took Duan Ming's hand and walked towards the open space beside him.

Duan Yi looked at the backs of the two of them, and cupped her hands at Aunt Gu, "Please trouble Auntie to find clothes for my little brother, he walked in a hurry just now, his clothes are soaked through, I'm afraid he'll catch a cold if the wind blows."

"Let him play with brother Mingrui for a while. I'll take the guests to see my grandfather, and I'll come back later."

Seeing that she has business to do, Mrs. Gu nodded gently, "Yi'er is on her own. Is that Ming'er? I'm here to watch."

Duan Yi nodded, took out a cloth bag from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to Madam Gu, "Didn't Auntie say she was looking for old ginseng last time? I happened to get one a while ago, and I showed it to Mr. , is a life-saving medicine, my aunt took it away."

Mrs. Gu's heart softened, she took the cloth bag, and ran into the house quickly, and after a while, she ran out again, "It's a coincidence, the doctor Mingrui visited this time has some ancestral medicinal powder, which is good for It works wonders to stop the bleeding.”

"You're a martial artist, this is for you. It's troublesome to match. Use it when it's critical."

Duan Yi accepted it bluntly, and showed a big smile at Mrs. Gu, "Thank you, Auntie, then I will go out first. It is inconvenient to keep people waiting."

She said, walking towards the gate of the yard.

Because Mrs. Gu also lived here, it was inconvenient for outsiders like Cui Zigeng to enter, so he waited here with Qi Lang and Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan lay on the door frame, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to look inside, saw Duan Yi came out, and just looked away, "Your cousin really..."

Duan Yi rolled his eyes at him, and made a serious face, "Didn't you get your pulse back then, sir? What's the matter, after these years, I got the guidance of an immortal, who can tell whether a person is really stupid or not, and if I want to go in, I will get another back?"

She said with a low voice, "I hope that my cousin is pretending to be stupid, so that I will immediately raise my gun and kill those who have ulterior motives, so that he can get better, wouldn't it be a great kindness?"

She lives in this world without any worries, her parents and brothers are just strangers who have only met for a few days, it is fate to be able to get along, and she cannot and has never expected it.

Only Gu Mingrui, she still clearly remembers how Gu Mingrui pushed her to the bottom of the bed, and rolled out by himself to distract those men in black. Blocking her under the bed.

She can, but Gu Mingrui can't.

Yan Jing laughed a few times thoughtfully, and shook the fan in his hand, "Didn't your master say he was very virtuous? Where is there any virtuous person who would kill people with a gun?"

Duan Yi's eyes moved, "Killing good people is naturally not virtuous. Killing people like Mr. and General Cui is called eliminating harm for the people."

Hearing this, Yan Jing looked up to the sky and burst out laughing. While laughing, he poked Cui Zigeng teasingly with a fan, "Did you hear that? Learn from your junior sister. What does it mean to care about his faults and say that he is wrong first?" ... This is called a teacher who is famous!"

More rarely, Cui Zi didn't speak, and just quietly followed Duan Yi, and the four of them walked for a while before arriving at the main courtyard of Gu's family.

After returning home, Gu Congrong had already bathed and changed his clothes, washed off the blood all over his body, and was wearing blue casual clothes. He looked no different from an ordinary old man. He was squatting there, watching a dog eat.

As soon as the dog saw the person coming, it stood up abruptly, saw that it was the familiar Duan Yi, and buried itself in eating again.

"It's an old dog. When my son was still here, I raised it. Now it's the same as me. It's almost too old to bite. The old man has always remembered the life-saving grace of General Cui at the post station."

"Everything goes to the Three Treasures Palace. Those of us who are in the army don't talk around like those literati. We are all people who can discuss matters here. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yi thought about the hairpin, and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, Yi has paid a huge price for the kindness back then, and paid it off."

However, Gu Congrong straightened up and waved his hand at Duan Yi, "You repaid your kindness, Mingrui's has not been repaid. The kindness of saving life should be repaid by the spring. General Cui was in full swing back then, and he didn't need it." The icing on the cake.”

"Now that General Cui is in trouble, it's time for this old man to help. This is the morality of being a human being."

Cui Zi was even more moved, and gave a big gift to Gu Congjun.

"Your envoy is righteous, and Cui will not have the cheek to take advantage of you. I came to the door today to ask for something, and I want the envoy to take back Jiangnan Dongdao with some help."

"My father died tragically, and my elder brother poured dirty water on me. Cui never denies what he has done, and never takes responsibility for what he has not done."

Duan Yi listened, not surprised.

Although Cui Zigeng's father was named King of Jiangnan, in fact, Jiangnan Dao is divided into two, with East Dao and West Dao.It's just that Huo Xiu, the Jiedu envoy of the Jiangnan West Road, was the only one who followed the lead of the Jiangnan King Cui Yu, so when people mentioned Jiangnan, they only knew Cui Yu and didn't know Huo Xiu.

"Jiannan Road is very far from Jiangnan East Road, and there are Qianzhong Road and Jiangnan West Road in between; you know, in recent years, there are Tubo outside Jiannan Road, and mountain bandits inside, even if my grandfather has a heart, that is powerless For this," Duan Yi thought, and said bluntly.

Now that Jiannan Dao himself is in danger, how can he have the energy to meddle in other people's affairs?
Gu Congrong is a kind-hearted person, so she should say this ugly thing first, so as not to evade it.

What's more, who knows if Cui Zi really borrowed troops, or set up a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.After all, if Cui Zi hadn't been tempted by Jiannan's big piece of fat, he wouldn't have appeared here at this time.
