Chapter 159 Mourning Hall
(Thanks to Xiangmi 168 and Xiaopangmiao’s He Shibi, thank you! I like this chapter very much, and I hope everyone likes it too, haha.)
"Book of Rites" says: "Funeral rites are the most mournful, and mourning is the same as changing." It also says: "It's better to have more than enough mourning instead of insufficient rituals and more than enough mourning."Now Gu Chongting's funeral is a very appropriate reflection of these truths.

According to Dading sacrificial ceremony, Gu Chongting had to stay in mourning for seven days. Of course, this mourning hall was not set in the middle of the front hall, but in a side hall in the front yard. There were white flags and white candles lit here, and around the hall there was a Row of white wreaths, that's all.

Not to mention the lack of mourning, the ceremony is very simple. Apart from the layout of the mourning hall, it can be seen from the fact that only a few families were sent white posters to report the funeral. The Gu family kept the funeral of Gu Chongting simple.

The members of the Gu family knew that they didn't cry too much, they only cried a few times when the guests came to express their condolences, and the crying stopped as soon as the guests left.

As a result, the atmosphere in the Gu family was extremely weird. Except for the servants crying and howling from time to time, the rest of the time was extremely quiet.
At this moment in the mourning hall, in front of Gu Chongting's coffin, there are Lian family kneeling, and Gu Daofang, Gu Wei and other dutiful sons and daughters. They are dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, except for Gu Yu and Gu Ke whimpering a few times, there is no sound.

Gu Yu and Gu Ke were not crying for Gu Chongting, they were crying about their unknown fate.The father is dead, the aunt is not good, and the biological mother is either dead or weak. The two concubines, the two concubines, can't see where their future is going.

It is also good for Guangming to cry loudly during the vigil.

Lian's knelt down awkwardly, shedding a few tears from time to time, she was not crying for Gu Chongting, but for Gu Daoxiang who was standing beside her.

Gu Chongting's funeral is so simple, let alone Gu Daoxiang's, and Lian Shi can only guard the coffin in front of Gu Chongting's coffin, not for Gu Daoxiang.It was really like gouging out her flesh, and he resented Gu Chongting's death even more.

If it hadn't been for Gu Chongting's death, Xiang'er wouldn't be in a hurry to come back for the funeral, then nothing would happen.It was Gu Chongting, it was Gu Chongting who killed her son! ——Actually, she didn't think wrong.
She stared at the big word "Dian" on the head of the coffin as if her eyes were poisoned, wishing to sweep the white candles, long burning lamps, incense for the past life and other funeral supplies on the altar to the ground, so that Gu Chongting would not be able to rest in peace after his death.

She suppressed herself tightly, and stared at the coffin with wide eyes. The concubine and servants beside her thought how much she loved Gu Chongting, and they were unwilling to leave the coffin with their eyes.

Even Gu Daofang knelt a step to the right, getting closer to Lian Shi, looked at her worriedly, and then comforted her in a low voice: "Mother, father has gone, you must take care of yourself."

After Gu Daofang said that, his eyes turned red. He has been in the government school for many years, and he seldom goes home at ordinary times. He doesn't know what happened at home. It's just one day. He lost his father and brother. Unexpectedly, it hurt him so much again.

Thinking of the death of his father and brother one after another, Gu Daofang's heart seemed to be blocked, he felt his eyes darken, and his thin body couldn't help shaking a few times.Gu Daofang was born weak, he knelt and guarded the spirit for two consecutive days, and he couldn't eat any meat, Gu Daofang's body couldn't bear it.

Lian Shi turned his head and looked at Gu Daobang's weak appearance, feeling uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help cursing Gu Chongting again.Even if he died, he would drag down his two sons!He is going to die, why not die far away? !

When Fu Shi and Gu Yan came to the mourning hall, they saw Lian Shi staring in the direction of the coffin, and they were all in a daze.

Fu brought Gu Yan to Lian's side and knelt down. After thinking about it, he still tried to comfort him: "Sisters and sisters, you can't be resurrected after death. You still have to take care of Brother Fang and Sister Wei. Take care."

Mrs. Fu looked at Mrs. Lian with pity. She had also experienced the pain of losing her son. This kind of pain is really beyond words.Now that Lian Shi is still middle-aged and widowed, these two kinds of pain are superimposed, Lian Shi must feel extremely miserable, and Fu Shi feels sympathy when he sees it.

Upon hearing this, Lian's eyes shifted from the coffin to Fu's body.At this time, Fu was dressed in plain clothes, with a white flower pinned to his head.She doesn't have to go to watch for Gu Chongting and Gu Dao, but the Gu family has a serious funeral, so of course she, the head of the house, must wear mourning clothes.

Lian Shi looked at the compassion in Fu Shi's eyes, and showed a strange expression that could neither laugh nor cry.Hehe, Mrs. Fu, such an ignorant and stupid Mrs. Fu is still alive, and can live so well?How ridiculous!
Does Mrs. Fu know that there are so many things happening in the Gu family?Do you know that Gu Chongting killed her eldest son?Do you know anything about the Youyan Academy?How could she kneel down in such a peaceful and gentle manner, looking at her poor self with compassion?

Lian Shi moved her lips, wanting to say something, but caught Gu Yan's warning eyes.Gu Yan knelt behind Fu Shi, raised his head slightly to stare at Lian Shi, his eyes were stern and cold, with a warning threat that seemed to be tangible, meaning to make Lian Shi shut up!
Lian Shi looked at Fu Shi and Gu Yan with complicated expressions, and felt that the roles were confused for a moment.For this pair of mother and daughter, Mrs. Fu is the one to be protected.With Fu's temperament, there are still such blessings. God's true love is Fu's!
After a long time, Lian Shi turned her head, and then lowered her head sadly, no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing Lian Shi like this, Gu Yan let out a sigh of relief.She knew what Lian wanted to say, but it was about the Gu family's insidiousness and ugliness, that her mother Fu was stupid, she didn't even know that the enemy was by her side, she wanted to pierce Fu's pure and kind heart, Adding all kinds of filth to the mother's heart is nothing more than that!
However, Gu Yan didn't want Fu to know about these ugly and insidious things. A character like Fu's, who treats people with sincerity and sees everything purely, is a kind of profound blessing. Gu Yan doesn't want her blessing to have any damage.This is not only because Fu Shi is her mother, but also because what she longs for is precisely Fu Shi's heart.
Gu Yan has seen too much ugliness and insidiousness in her past and present lives. With the sad tone of bereavement, her heart cannot be pure and kind. Why not?She is willing to protect Mrs. Fu, wipe away all kinds of ugliness for her, and let her keep her heart pure and clear.

It is enough to have her alone for the villain, and it is enough for her to know about the secret affairs. The villain and the secret are only a small part.Whether it's for Mrs. Fu, Gu Chong'an, or her younger brother Gu Daoxing, she thinks what they see is not all the ugliness in the world, but the goodness and blessings in the world.

Like her, coming with the memories and hatred of the previous life, it is impossible to have the ultimate blessing, but if she is powerful enough to protect the Fu family and the Gu family, isn't it a way to achieve goodness?

Gu Yan lowered his head and closed his eyes, feeling the tremor in his heart.In Gu Chongting's mourning hall, thinking about the Lian family and the Fu family, he gradually touched the door of the good way.

However, she couldn't step in after all, because at this time, bursts of wailing came from outside the mourning hall, breaking the dead silence of the mourning hall.

Hearing these cries, Gu Yan opened her eyes, her expression was calm, she knew that it was Sun Qiluo who came, bringing Gu Chongting's concubines to the mourning hall to see Gu Chongting for the last time.

Sure enough, a servant guarding outside the mourning hall came in and said, "Second Wife, Aunt Sun and Aunt Song are going to enter the mourning hall to pay homage to the two elders..."

Before the servant finished speaking, Lian planned his words, raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Stop them! What qualifications do they have, dare to step into the mourning hall?!"

Hearing this, the servant didn't do as he was told, but said in embarrassment: "Aunt Sun said that she has asked the old lady's permission to let them come into the mourning hall."

After hearing this, Lian's expression immediately became gloomy.Gu Zhan agreed, so she couldn't say anything, no matter how much she hated Sun, she couldn't be thrown out of the mourning hall.

Just like that, Gu Chongting's concubines entered the mourning hall, the leader was Mrs. Sun, she seemed a little more haggard than what she saw yesterday.If a person loses his will to live, he loses energy too quickly, which is very obvious.

When Sun Qiluo entered the mourning hall, she didn't even look at Gu Yan, Lian Shi and the others, she just stared at the coffin behind the altar and went straight to the coffin. ——Gu Chongting hasn't fully recovered yet, and the coffin lid hasn't been closed yet.

As soon as Sun Qiluo saw Gu Chongting's body, tears flowed down her cheeks, as if it was fifteen or twenty, and the two senior brothers and sisters were chasing each other among the flowers in the forest.But as time passed, the senior brother was already lying in the coffin, and she herself was completely naked, so she became a widow.

A widow, even she is not qualified to call herself a widow, the real widow is the Lian family in the mourning hall.If the girl hadn't reminded her to go to the Pine Age Home to beg Gu Zhan, she wouldn't even be able to see Gu Chongting for the last time!
Immediately, everyone saw a sad scene.Under the cover of the white banner, next to the black coffin, the plain white Sun Qiluo lay on top of the coffin, and wept bitterly. The crying contained great pain, and the white banner moved, completely overshadowing Song's voice. Waiting for others to sob.

Gu Yan couldn't bear to look away, Gu Chongting's widow, perhaps Sun Qiluo was more suitable than Lian's.

Lian Shi was full of hatred, staring at Sun Qiluo next to the coffin, feeling that Sun Qiluo's actions were like a slap on his face.Doesn't this posture of a widow show that she and Gu Chongting are deeply in love?Gu Chongting is dead, but he can still poke his heart!

I don't want to, after Sun Qiluo cried, she walked towards Lianshi slowly, then stopped beside Lianshi, bowed to Lianshi, and said: "Madam, the master has already gone, please take care .”

Such concerned words, uttered from Sun Qiluo's mouth, were horrifying to hear.Because of Gu Chongting, Sun Qiluo and the Lian family had already had indissoluble enmity.Sun Qiluo said these words, it was too weird!
Sun Qiluo didn't seem to know the weirdness of her words, she even showed a slight smile, then straightened up, and moved to Lian's left side.

The next moment, an accident happened.
