Chapter 447: Public Memorial Day

Gu Shaoyu nodded, and then said nothing more.

He silently watched the snow outside, and fell into a low mood again. Du Jingyi accompanied him quietly.

Until Tai Geer appeared and broke the deadlock.

"Father, mother."

He was obviously a small group of people, but he looked bigger day by day.

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

But today, he wore a vase gourd with a twig of acacia flowers, which looked more suitable for his age.

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

"Why don't you take a nap?"

"I'm not sleepy, son."

Tai Ge'er looked at his father obediently, who was still silent, and then took out a carefully wrapped thing from his arms and handed it to him, smiling sweetly.

"Tang Gao, father, eat it."

Tang Gao is a snack in Jinling City. After Tai Ge'er ate it once on the street, he often clamored for it, so Dan Ruo took the initiative to learn how to make it, so Tai Ge'er could eat it whenever he wanted.

But for his good teeth, he was limited to eating it every time.

So this piece today was specially saved by Tai Ge'er for his father. Gu Shaoyu knew his intentions and touched Tai Ge'er's head, feeling quite relieved.

"It's cold these days, so I won't take you brothers out to work. Starting tomorrow, you should practice squatting for half an hour every day in your room. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Tai Ge'er's little hand was still holding the sugar cake, his eyes sparkling, which made Gu Shaoyu's heart fluctuate. He picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. It was slightly sweet, not greasy, but tasted good.

After quietly eating the sugar cake, Gu Shaoyu said to Du Jingyi.

"On the day of the public sacrifice, let you make more sugar cakes. Luo Yuan likes to eat sweet and sticky things. I will bring some to him."

"Okay."

It looked like a plain remark, but Du Jingyi also knew that sugar cakes would probably not be served on the table from now on.

The wind and snow outside were getting stronger, but it was not as long as in the north. It usually rained for a while and stopped for a while. It was difficult to pile up like a mountain.

I was originally thinking that it would be too desolate to send a funeral on a snowy day, but who knew that the sky would clear up on the day of the public sacrifice three days later.

However, the winter sun is always cold, so the atmosphere in the Gu family's cemetery is also gloomy at this moment.

After renovation, the Gu family's cemetery has been restored to its original state, and it is even more orderly and magnificent than before. It can be seen that the craftsmen have also put in a lot of effort, not only for the Gu family's business, but also because of their respect for the old marshal Gu and others.

Gu Shaoyu came today in plain clothes, standing at the front, alone.

Du Jingyi stood in the second row with several aunts and aunts, and behind him were other people from the Gu family, but the children were still young, so they all stayed at home. They specially asked the old master Su and the old lady Su to help take care of them. With them, they can feel more at ease.

In the cemetery, all they can see is white.

In front of them is a row of coffins, and the burial pits have been dug next to them.

The coffins are rare sunken wood. Even if only the bones are left, they are still put in neatly and then buried.

Next to Gu Shaoyu's brothers, a new grave was built.

Luo Yuan was buried here. His coffin had been held in the camp before it was sent here, so it was nailed when it was sent here.

All the brothers of the Tiger Guard Army had red eyes now.

Each of the twelve deputy generals had followed Gu Shaoyu through wind and rain. Now there was only one missing. It was heartbreaking.

Gu Shaoyu's stubble and the dark circles under his eyes seemed to tell about the past days. He also had trouble sleeping.

This was somewhat different from the death of his grandfather, Marshal Gu. At that time, it was more about the pain of the sudden death of relatives, but now Luo Yuan's death also had a lot of guilt and self-blame.

If he could have found Kuang Yujun earlier, would Luo Yuan not have to die?

Such questions have been lingering in Gu Shaoyu's heart. Until now, when Luo Yuan was about to be buried, he still didn't understand it.

"The auspicious time has come, General, let's put the coffin down and cover it with soil."

The words of the Feng Shui master pulled Gu Shaoyu back to his thoughts. When he looked at the row of tombstones again, he felt a sense of loss.

"Well, put it down."

"Yes."

Gu Shaoyu personally shoveled a shovel of soil and covered the coffins of his grandfather and others one by one. Then the tomb keepers in charge of burying began, shoveling one shovel after another, until all the coffins were placed, and then the Feng Shui master ordered people to fire cannons.

Looking at this desolate scene, Gu Shaoyu remembered what happened in the past.

With his grandfather's achievements and status, he should have chosen a separate Feng Shui treasure land and made some tomb passage settings, but his grandmother went against the crowd and only chose a coffin and sent her husband on his way.

At that time, Gu Xiaolang was still young, and when he saw this scene, he asked a question.

"Why was grandpa buried so simply?"

But Mrs. Gu answered.

"When a person dies, the light goes out, but the soul is eternal. As for the things buried with the deceased, they will only make people with ulterior motives. Grandmother doesn't want your grandfather to be remembered and dug up his grave after his death, so it's better to keep it simple."

The thought is good, but it's a pity that it still can't be realized.

Gu Shaoyu sighed softly at his grandfather's tombstone, and the sound was covered by the deafening firecrackers. With the explosion of the firecrackers, the public sacrifice was over. Because it was buried again, the Gu family only needed to observe mourning for three days and follow the ancient rituals.

Because of the previous incident, all the tomb keepers of the Gu family cemetery were replaced or punished. Now, the more than 100 people here are all the Tiger Guards who retreated due to injuries. Some of them have no relatives, so even if they leave the Tiger Guards, they have nowhere to go. So after asking their wishes, Gu Shaoyu left them all here.

They were injured for the Gu family, so 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 money, and then they were arranged to return to their hometowns one after another.

For those who had passed away like Luo Yuan, their ashes and pensions could only be sent back to their hometowns, and the ten times amount would also be paid by the Gu family.
