MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 447 day of sacrifice

Gu Shaoyu nodded, and then said nothing more.

Looking at the falling snow outside in silence, and falling into a deep mood again, Du Jingyi just stayed with her quietly.

 Until the appearance of Tagore broke the deadlock.

 “Father, mother.”

They are obviously a small group of people, but they seem to be getting bigger day by day.

Since the winter has arrived, his clothes have also been changed into new ones. Because of his status, most of the patterns in the middle of his clothes are embroidered with unicorns, which makes people feel majestic.

Today, on the other hand, he is wearing a dress embroidered with a vase, gourd, and acacia flowers, which looks more in line with his age.

He is now almost three years old, and his speech has become much smoother. Now he can not only understand what adults mean, but also understand what he wants to express. He suddenly feels like he has grown up from a child. So when Du Jingyi saw him, he pulled him to sit next to him affectionately, and then asked him.

 “Why don’t you take a nap?”

 “My son is not sleepy.”

Tai Geer obediently looked at his father who was still silent, then he took out a carefully wrapped thing from his arms and handed it over, saying with a sweet smile.

 “Sugar cake, father eats it.”

Sugar cake is a kind of snack in Jinling City. Ever since Tai Geer ate it once on the street, he often clamored to eat it, so Danruo took the initiative to learn how to make it, so when Tai Geer wanted to eat it, You can eat it.

 Just because his teeth are good, there is a limit to what he eats every time.

 So today, Tai Geer specially saved this piece for his father. Gu Shaoyu knew his intention and touched Tai Geer's head, feeling quite pleased.

"It's cold these days, so I won't take you brothers outside to do anything. Tomorrow, I will start practicing squatting for half a moment in my room every day. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

 Brother Tai was still holding the candy cake in his little hands, his eyes were bright, which made Gu Shaoyu's heart fluctuate a little, so he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. It was slightly sweet, not greasy, but tasted good.

After quietly eating the piece of candy cake, Gu Shaoyu said to Du Jingyi.

"On the day of the sacrifice, let me make more sugar cakes. Luo Yuan loves sweet and glutinous things. I will bring him some."

"good."

　　It seemed like a bland statement, but Du Jingyi also knew that from now on, sugar cakes would no longer be served on the table.

 The wind and snow outside are getting stronger, but they are not as long-lasting as those in the north. They usually stop for a while, and it is difficult to pile up like a mountain.

I originally thought that it would be too desolate to hold a funeral on this snowy day, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be sunny on the day of the memorial ceremony three days later.

It’s just that the winter sun always has little temperature, so the atmosphere in the Gu family’s cemetery is also gloomy at the moment.

After renovation, the Gu family's cemetery has been restored to its original state, even more organized and grand than before. It can be seen that the craftsmen have also put their heart into it, not only for the Gu family's business, but also because of their respect for Marshal Gu and others. people's reverence.

Gu Shaoyu came today wearing plain clothes and stood at the front, alone.

Du Jingyi stood in the second row with several aunts and aunts, followed by the rest of the Gu family. However, the children were still young, so they all stayed at home. He especially invited Mr. Su and Mrs. Su to come with them. Help take care of it. With them around, you can feel more at ease.

 In the cemetery, everything you look at is plain white. In front of them were a row of coffins, and burial pits were dug next to them.

The coffin was made of a rare sunken wood. Even if only the bones were left, they would still be placed in them neatly and then buried.

 A new tomb was built next to Gu Shaoyu's brothers.

The person buried here is Luo Yuan. His coffin had already been crucified in the camp before being sent here, so it was already nailed when it was sent here.

 Hubenjun’s brothers are all red-eyed now.

Each of the twelve lieutenants followed Gu Shaoyu through the wind and rain. Now there is only one missing. It is not a matter of digging out the heart.

Gu Shaoyu's stubble and dark green eyes seemed to be telling of the past days, and it was difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

This is somewhat different from the death of his grandfather, Marshal Gu, and the others. At that time, it was more painful for a relative to die suddenly, but now Luo Yuan's death also brings a lot of guilt and self-blame.

If he could have discovered that Kuang Yujun earlier, wouldn't Luo Yuan not have to die?

Such a question has been lingering in Gu Shaoyu's mind, and until now Luo Yuan is about to be buried, he still hasn't figured it out.

 “The auspicious time has come, general, let’s lay the coffin down and cover it with earth.”

Mr. Feng Shui's words brought Gu Shaoyu back from his thoughts. When he looked at the row of tombstones again, he felt a sense of loss.

 “Well, let’s go.”

"yes."

Gu Shaoyu personally shoveled a shovelful of soil and covered the coffins of his grandfather and others one by one. Then the tombkeepers responsible for filling in the tombs began, shoveling one shovel after another, until all the coffins were placed. The Feng Shui master ordered the cannon to be fired.

Looking at this desolation, Gu Shaoyu thought of what happened back then.

With my grandfather’s achievements and status, he should have chosen a separate geomantic treasure land to set up some tomb passages, but my grandmother resisted all opinions and chose only a coffin before sending her husband off.

At that time, Gu Xiaolang was still young. When he saw such a scene, he even asked a few questions.

 “Why was my grandfather buried so simply?”

 But Mrs. Gu replied.

"As long as the lamp is extinguished after death, the soul will be evergreen. As for the things buried with the body, it will only make people with care have rash thoughts. Grandma doesn't want your grandfather to be remembered and dig graves after his death, so it's simple Just some."

The idea is good, but it’s a pity that it still hasn’t been realized.

Gu Shaoyu sighed softly at his grandfather's tombstone, and the sound was muffled by the loud firecrackers. With the explosion of the firecrackers, the sacrifice was over. Because it was the burial again, the Gu family only needed to Observe filial piety for three days and follow the ancient etiquette.

Because of the previous incident, all the guardians of the Gu family cemetery were replaced or held accountable. Now the more than a hundred people here are all used by the Tiger Army who retired due to injuries. Some of them have no relatives. Therefore, even if they left the Huben Army, they had nowhere to go, so Gu Shaoyu left them all here after asking about their wishes.

 They were hurt for the Gu family, and the Gu family should take care of them for the rest of their lives.

 As for those who were unwilling, they were given ten times the repatriation payment, and then arranged to return to their hometowns one after another.

For those who have died like Luo Yuan, their ashes and pensions can only be sent back to their place of origin. Ten times the amount will also be paid by the Gu family.
