Chapter 51 Gu Yong

Sun Shao did not give Zhang Wen any reply, and Zhang Wen no longer mentioned this matter. The next morning, the group got up early, finished breakfast, and continued to go on their way. It was not until the Mingling City was far away that Sun Shao, who had been silent for a day, said to Zhang Wen, "Brother Huishu, do you have to go through the experience if you want to be an official?"

A touch of joy flashed in Zhang Wen's eyes, and then he nodded calmly: "It's not that it must be done, but if it can be done, it will be of great benefit to the young master's official career. Although Tongjing is only one of many ways to become an official, after all, Tongjing is the right way for the Han family to become an official for hundreds of years. If it can be understood, it will avoid a lot of words in the future. Even if he is a man in Shilin, he dares not look at the young master as a son of a common clan.

Sun Shao recognized the meaning of his words and did not break it. He asked again, "What is the appropriate thing to forgive what Brother Yi Hui has seen?"

Zhang Wen smiled cunningly: "Wen thinks that Zuo's spring and autumn should be appropriate."

"Why?" Sun Shao was a little surprised.

"Now Jiang Zuo, Zhang Gong is the leader of Zhi Zuo's Spring and Autumn." Zhang Wen approached Sun Shao and whispered, "Zhang Gong is an old minister of the general, and now he is the pillar of Jiangdong. If the young master can take him as his teacher, there will naturally be many benefits."

Sun Shao nodded with understanding. Zhang Wen's idea coincided with him. He and Zhang Wen looked at each other and nodded gently. Zhang Wen smiled and leaned over and patted the driver on the back. The driver pulled his rein, and the carriage slowed down and distanced himself from Sun Shao.

Gu's house has been wrapped in white cloth. Gu Yu, Gu Yong's second son, stood outside the door to welcome the guests who came to mourn. As soon as he saw Zhang Wen and a team of more than 100 others, he quickly greeted them. He was not in good health, but after a few steps, he was a little panting, and La Huang's face flushed.

"If you come from afar, Yudai's father greets you."

Zhang Wen and others hurriedly got out of the car and returned the salute: "God doesn't bless the good people. It's really sad to make my brother abandon me and wait. Please ask Ji Ze (Gu Yu's word) to comfort your father more and express my condolences."

"Thank you for your comfort. Yu will definitely transfer Zhang Jun's kindness to his father. Gentlemen, please."

Zhang Wen took a step back and asked Sun Shao to go first. Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses again. He quickly saluted Sun Shao: "The young master is here. Gu Yu's eyes are so clumsy that he can't pay tribute. Please forgive me."

Sun Shao sighed: "Brother Ji Ze, you don't have to be polite. You'd better take me in and mourn in front of the filial piety."

"Please." Gu Yu led the way. As he walked, he gasped. The heavy gasp made Sun Shao, who was close to him, very worried. He was afraid that he could not get up in one breath, so he fell to the ground.

As soon as Sun Shao and others entered the door, the advocacy sitting in the court began to "tock" and sounded, and the women and children kneeling in front of the hall also cried loudly. Sun Shao and others walked through the crowd and walked to the main hall of the corpse bed, saluted respectfully in front of Gu Shao's body, and then knelt aside. The eldest sister Sun Yuanying and Lu Shi saluted and mourned. The advocacy outside stopped, and it was over.

Sun Yuanying's eyes were red and swollen, her face was haggard, and she looked very weak. As soon as she saw Sun Shao, her tears couldn't stop and fell down. After all, it is related by blood. Although Sun Shao is no longer the original, he can't help but feel sore when he looks at this new sister.

"Auncle..." Gu Tan, who was only 13 years old, was filial, and his eyes were red and swollen, and he held Sun Shao's hand pitifully. Sun Shao sighed and reached out to touch Gu Tan's head. He didn't know what to persuade him. Although Gu Tan is his nephew, he is actually only five years older than Gu Tan.

While talking, Lu Shi came to salute with her daughter Gu Yan and son Gu Cheng. Lu is Lu Xun's sister. She married into the Gu family earlier than Sun Yuanying, but at that time, the Lu family had just encountered a major crisis - Lu Kang and more than 100 ethnic groups were besieged by Sun Ce in Lujiang County for several months, and most of them were killed and injured. Lu Kang's young son Lu Ji was young. Lu Xun presided over the family affairs for Lu Ji, so he discussed with his aunt who was Mrs. Gu Yong. He married Lu to Gu Shao to help the Lu family tide over the difficulties. However, the situation was unclear at that time. Although Gu Yong agreed to accept Lu's entry, he did not give her the identity of his wife. Lu had always been Gu Shao's concubine. Lu's first child gave birth to a daughter. Later, Sun Yuanying married into the Gu family, and Lu's hope of Fuzheng was completely emptied, just like Sun Shao's biological mother Lv.

With this kind of relationship, of course, Sun Shao can't expect Lu to give him a good look.

Although Lu is smiling, everyone can see that this smile is very fake. After the salute, Lu took her children away. Sun Yuanying shook her head awkwardly: "A Man, don't blame her, she is also sad..."

Sun Shao also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sixe, I don't blame her. It's not that I don't know the situation here. I'm just suffering you."

"Alas--" Sun Yuanying sighed, and tears couldn't help flowing down. She took Sun Shao's arm and sobbed. Sun Shao didn't know what to persuade her. The eldest sister said that she was from the Sun family, and the background was very hard, but he knew that Gu Yong's official career was not smooth. It was impossible for him not to complain about the Sun family at all. In addition, his wife and brother Lu Ji was driven to Yu Lin by Sun Quan a few years ago because he offended Sun Quan. The place in Yu Lin was a standard place of exile, and his wife was also I often burst into tears for this. In this case, Sun Yuanying's son can be imagined. Now that Gu Shao is dead again, she will be even more sad in the future.

"Simi, I'll go in and meet Gu Gong."

"Well, that's right." Sun Yuanying wiped her tears and nodded. The sadness rose again in front of him, and someone came to mourn. Sun Yuanying took Gu Tan out and knelt on the spiritual side and cried loudly. Sun Shao was led by a servant to the backyard. After a while, the servant came out and asked Sun Shao to go in.

Gu Yong sat in the hall, neatly dressed, his face was very calm, and his sparse beard was meticulously taken care of. The rich wife Lu Shi sat on the west side and looked at Sun Shao who came in without saying a word.

"May Gu Gong and Madame express their condolences." Sun Shao made a big salute respectfully. Lu Shi snorted softly and didn't say anything, but Gu Yong leaned down, raised his hand and held it, and said slowly, "Aman, it's hard all the way."

"I dare not." Sun Shao said quickly.

Gu Yong seemed to respond and waved his hand. Lu got up and went to the back. Only Gu Yong and Sun Shao were left in the hall. Gu Yong motioned the servant next to him to look forward again, and then said, "I heard that the Supreme asked you to come to Muling, but you refused, but what did you mean?"

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help looking up at Gu Yong. His son had just died and stopped in front of him. Why did he ask about this as soon as he met? Is it really a state priority?

Gu Yong's face was very calm. Except for the uncontrollable sadness and despair in his eyes, he couldn't see anything strange. Sun Shao thought for a moment, and then replied softly, "I dare not hide it from Gu Gong. It's really that Shao is stubborn and untalentless and unbearable. In addition, my father is the only unfilial son. Now I'm 18 years old and I'm not married yet..."

When Sun Shao said this, he suddenly found that the corners of Gu Yong's eyes were beating. Only then did he realize that what he said had pierced Gu Yong's heart. He quickly stopped the words and swallowed the following words again. Gu Yong is already fifty years old, and now only Gu Yu is left with a son with a hidden disease. He treats his children much more than himself.

Gu Yong was silent for a moment, forcibly suppressed the tingling in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you really think so?"

"Really." Sun Shao nodded affirmatively.

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no future is the most big deal. Your consideration is not unreasonable." Gu Yong soon calmed himself down, and his tone was so plain that he couldn't see a trace of waves. The Supreme asked you to come to the mausoleum, not to let you lead troops to fight. There is no contradiction with your idea. Why do you refuse? In my opinion, you'd better come to Muling. If there is a suitable marriage, the Supreme will naturally consider it for you.

Sun Shao was silent and unwilling. After a long time, he nodded: "Please let Gu Gongrong think about it."

Gu Yong glanced at him and nodded gently.
