Chapter 4 Zhongxiao Hall (Please collect and recommend)

After hearing Shui Lu's words, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel agitated.As soon as he woke up, Gu Yu went to the Zhongxiao Hall to plead guilty. The time is so tight, what does the second room want to do?
After thinking about it, Gu Yan said, "Mother, I will go to Zhongxiao Hall with you."

She wanted to see for herself whether Erfang pushed Gu Yu to take the blame, was it to avoid suspicion, or was she guilty of guilt? This time, what will Erfang do?This time there was an accident in the rockery, is there any handwriting from Erfang?

Fu originally wanted to refuse, after all, Gu Yan's body was still weak.But Gu Yan had to go to Zhongxiao Hall anyway, Fu was not used to rejecting her, and after thinking about the many strange things about this matter, he agreed to let Gu Yan go with her.

Gu Yan dressed up a bit, and ordered Shui Lu to smear her face with powder. Her originally pale face became rosy after being covered up like this; coupled with Gu Yan's shining eyes, the weakness just now seemed to be an illusion. .

"Is A Bi afraid of my grandfather worrying? It's okay to cover it up a bit." Seeing Gu Yan's careful thinking, Mrs. Fu nodded.

She has a loyal personality, and thinks everything she sees and thinks is good, especially since Gu Yan did this action, she feels that Gu Yan is showing filial piety.

Gu Yan smiled, and a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes.Today, it is even more difficult for her to let go of the death of her parents in the previous life.Loyal people like parents tried their best to cultivate good deeds and accumulate virtues, but the winners died beyond recognition!
If there is no reward for good and evil, there must be selfishness in the universe!Now that she has relived this life, she must protect her parents, and let everyone look up to see whether the heaven is benevolent or not!

Thinking of this, Gu Yan pursed his lips tightly, even the makeup couldn't stop the coldness around his body, and when it appeared on his face, his expression became a bit ugly.

"Abi, what's the matter with you? If you feel uncomfortable, don't go." Seeing Gu Yan's expression, Mrs. Fu couldn't help persuading.

"Mother, Ah Bi is fine, I just didn't expect to be able to come out of Chibi Courtyard again." Gu Yan smiled and said coquettishly, so as to reassure Mrs. Fu.

That's right, I didn't expect to be able to produce Chibi Courtyard.

Chibi Courtyard was the courtyard where she lived. After she married into Duke Cheng's Mansion, Chibi Courtyard was demolished. Not long after, Gu's family was also sealed off. She really never came to Chibi Courtyard again.

"You child, what kind of silly words are you talking about?" Mrs. Fu was amused by these words, and felt that the little girl's words were floating like clouds in the sky, and then remembered the two days when Gu Yan was in a coma, and her smile gradually faded .

Gu Yan smiled coquettishly, didn't say anything, and only gave Shui Lu a few words in a low voice.In this way, supported by Shui Lu and other maids, accompanied by mother and daughter, she walked slowly towards the Zhongxiao Hall in the northwest.

As the Zhongxiao Hall got closer, Gu Yan's eyes became colder and colder.The past of the Gu family reappeared in her mind over and over again, like pictures.

The Gu family started with military exploits. It is a new family of powerful and powerful people. It rose with the founding of the Dading Dynasty. It has a history of less than a hundred years. It is called "Three Dynasties and Four Books", referring to the Gu family.

The ancestors of the Gu family followed Dading Taizu to conquer the world, accumulated the prestige of the heirloom family, and also laid the foundation for the prosperity of the family's children.During the reign of the three emperors Taizong, Jianhe, and Chongde, there were four Shangshu in the Gu family.Gu Zhan, the head of the Gu family's generation, is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Three Dynasties and Four Books, what a prestige this is.The Gu family is different from the honorable family who enjoy the world's wealth. This is because they really hold a lot of power.Especially for the two generations of the Gu family, apart from the grandfather who was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the father and second uncle Gu Chongting both worked in Jingzhao.It is extremely rare that one door leaves the Sanjing official.The royal family of the Zhu family really think highly of the Gu family!

But who knew that the power of the Gu family was only up to the fourth Shangshu?After the grandfather Gu Zhan, not to mention the power of Shangshu, even the blood of the Gu family was scattered and withered and almost died.

Who could have imagined it?Who could have imagined it?Thinking of the fate of the Gu family in the previous life, Gu Yan almost cried.

Just when Gu Yan was thinking about the Gu family, he suddenly heard Mrs. Fu calling in a low voice, "Abi, Abi..."

Gu Yan blinked, came back to his senses, looked up, and found that he had already arrived at the entrance of Zhongxiao Hall.

The Zhongxiao Hall is the place where the Gu family rewards meritorious deeds and punishes those who have committed crimes. Gu Yan remembers that there are thorns and wooden sticks and other family law utensils displayed inside, which is scary to look at.This is the meaning of Bodhisattva Vajra's glaring eyes, and the purpose is to guide the children of the Gu family to stay close to good and far away from evil.

Serious intimidation is not just for fun, many people have been subjected to the Gu family's family law.When it comes to Zhongxiao Hall, no matter if it is the Gu family members or the servants, they will all stare intently, timidly, and even their legs will tremble involuntarily.

Gu Yan looked up at the three big characters "Zhongxiaotang" on the plaque, and a pair of couplets hung beside it, writing:

Accumulate good fortune and good deeds
No poverty, no widow, no leaning

These characters are round and thick, and they were handwritten by the heads of the previous two generations of the Gu family. These six-character couplets express the way of filial piety and loyalty, and it is precisely the Gu family's family style.

Round and thick, benevolent and caring, this is what the Gu family has inherited in the past three generations of patriarchs, and grandfather Gu Zhan is no exception.It's even too good to be too good, otherwise, why would you lure wolves into the house?Otherwise, how could the Gu family be overthrown?

She didn't have time to think about it, when she heard a "squeak", the strict door of Zhongxiao Hall was pushed open, and she followed Mrs. Fu into the hall.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and bright tall candles were lit in Zhongxiao Hall, reflecting the people in the hall clearly.

In the middle of the front hall, sat an old man in his fifties. He was chubby, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, just like the Maitreya Buddha in the painting.Only occasionally, a light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared suddenly.

This old man is Gu Yan's grandfather, Gu Zhan.

Seeing his grandfather for the first time, seeing that he was completely different from the skinny and pinched appearance in his memory, Gu Yan once again clearly remembered that now, it is different from the previous life.

Today, it is still nine years of Chongde, not the 14 years of Chongde when her grandfather passed away, let alone the 18 years of Chongde when she died.

Now, she has lived a new life, and there is still time for everything.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan regained his composure, and glanced at the rest of the people in Zhongxiao Hall.

On the lower left of Gu Zhan, sits Gu Chong'an.He looked at Fu Shi and Gu Yan who walked in with warm eyes.

On the lower right of Gu Zhan, sat a middle-aged man in his 30s.He has a long beard and handsome face, his thin lips are tightly pressed, and there is no expression on his face.

This is Gu Yan's second uncle, Gu Chongting, who is also the head of the second room of the Gu family, and Gu Yu's father.

What's more, it's the Gu family's enemy!

Gu Yan's hand hidden in the cloud sleeve was clenched into a fist, and he used all his strength to suppress the hatred instead of rushing forward to kill him.

Kill him...kill him...but the yelling in his heart was still going on, almost drowning Gu Yan's rationality.

The Gu family was destroyed by Qin Ji, but it was the second uncle who loved and trusted the grandfather most in front of him who pushed the Gu family to their death in the first place.

At that time, the second uncle of Jingzhao Shaoyin, the fourth rank, recovered his real surname and returned to the original clan. Soon after, he reported his grandfather in the Xuanzheng Palace, accusing him of forming a clique for personal gain, selling officials to interfere with the government; soon after, Qin Ji listed the crimes against the Gu family in the network. After being handed over to the Zichen Palace, the third prince quickly settled the case as a supervisor of the country. His grandfather was convicted and died of illness in prison. The children of the Gu family were convicted and exiled...

I hate that my second uncle, Gu Chongting, has left the Gu family clan. Not only was he not convicted because of the Gu family, but because of his first accusation, his official position was promoted two ranks in a row!

Even if the officials say in private that he is flawed and unworthy of his position, it will not affect him at all. Because he has become the third prince, his official position and power will rise higher and higher.

Gu Chongting, Qin Ji and the third prince, their glory and wealth were built with the blood and bones of the Gu family!
So far, Gu Yan doesn't know why the second uncle sued the Gu family first, why the second uncle has so much hatred for the Gu family, after all, even if the second uncle is not of the Gu family blood, his grandfather has loved him for more than [-] years.

what is this?
At this moment, Gu Yan stared straight at Gu Chongting, who is known as Jun Langjun, without turning his eyes.Seeing her strange appearance, Gu Chongting didn't know what to do, and felt terrified.

There are others who can't stand Gu Yan's appearance.The middle-aged woman sitting next to Gu Chongting coughed a few times, and then asked gently: "Sister Yan woke up, thank God, this is really great..."

The gentle voice, the dignified face, the sincere eyes, the obvious and credible, make people feel good about her easily, and can't wait to wait with her heart and lungs.

This is the second aunt Lian's family, who was born in the Lian family of the Zhongyong uncle's mansion.

If Gu Yan wanted to kill Gu Chongting because of the Gu family, then she wanted to tear the Lian family apart more because of herself.The humiliation and persecution she suffered under Lian's subordinates is beyond words!
Who would have imagined that such a dignified and kind person hides a heart more poisonous than snakes and scorpions?
