The Great Qin Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Gaozu raised troops to fight for the world, and the ancestors of the Gu family were the most trusted generals of Emperor Gaozu, charging into battle for Emperor Gaozu and making countless meritorious contributions.

After Emperor Gaozu sat on the dragon chair, he divided the meritorious ministers, and the ancestor of the Gu family was named the Marquis of Dingbei. Emperor Gaozu rewarded Gu Jiadan with iron coupons, and the title was inherited from generation to generation.

From the ancestors of the Gu family to Gu Zhan's generation, it has been more than 100 years. The children and grandchildren of the Gu family were stationed in the bitter cold land of the north one after another, guarding the border passes for the Great Qin to defend against foreign enemies.

Few of the men of the Gu family die, and most of them die in battle. The accumulated military exploits and fallen lives of generations have created the glory of the Gu family. It also made the Dingbei Marquis Mansion a well-deserved leader among the Great Qin military generals.

Three years ago, the Huns raided Yanmen Pass, and Gu Zhan personally led his troops to meet the enemy, but was accidentally killed by an arrow. The main general was killed, and the soldiers' hearts were scattered, and the Dingbei army was defeated by the Xiongnu iron cavalry. Even Gu Zhan's body couldn't be snatched back.

The Xiongnu iron cavalry broke into dozens of towns in the pass, burned, killed and looted for a full month before retreating to the pass.

Although Gu Zhan was defeated, he was martyred and his body was gone.

Emperor Yuanyou did not condemn the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, but ordered Gu Zhan's clothes to be buried thickly, and let Gu Zhan's cousin Gu Song inherit the title of Marquis of Dingbei and replace Gu Zhan to garrison the border pass.

All this is enough to show the favor of the Son of Heaven to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Gu Zhan is dead, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion is still standing!

For Gu Wanning, his father Gu Zhan is a vague figure. Less than a year after she was born, Gu Zhan led the troops to the border pass, during which she did not return to the capital for several years.

The bad news of Gu Zhan's death came. Gu Wanning could only look at Gu Zhan's portrait before his death, and silently sketched his father's appearance in his heart.

Seven years ago, Shen Meijun, the wife of the Marquis of Dingbei, traveled thousands of miles to the border to find a husband, and did not return to the capital until she was pregnant. Because of the fatigue of the journey, Shen Meijun gave birth to a son early after seven months of pregnancy.

Gu Zhan finally has an heir, and the Gu family has a successor.

The position of the Shen family's Dingbei Marquis's wife is also unbreakable, and no one can shake it.

Now the title of Marquis of Dingbei has been inherited by Gu Song, and Gu Song's wife Wu also has a decree. can mention Mrs. Dingbei Hou, it is still Shen Meijun.

It is unknown whether Wu is aggrieved in his heart.

In short, the Shen family has been living peacefully in the main courtyard of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and is in charge of the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion.

……

Gu Wanning led Linlang Linglong into Rongde Hall.

A maid in a cyan dress with a double bun came forward with a smile: "The slave has seen Miss." Madame was still talking about Miss just now! ”

It is Shen's personal maid Bitong.

Bi Tong was about seventeen or eighteen years old, fair and pretty, with a smile on her face, quite pleasing.

Bi Tong has served by the Shen family for several years, starting from a third-class little maid and working her way up to one of the four first-class big maids. Needless to say, he is smart and sleek. When I saw Gu Wanning, I was very enthusiastic and attentive.

And rightfully so.

Old Marquis Gu died early, leaving behind three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Gu Song, and the youngest son, Gu Hai, are all concubines, and only Gu Yu and Gu Zhan's sisters and brothers are born to Mrs. Yao.

Gu Yu married into the royal family at the age of fifteen and became the princess of Qi. Ten years ago, with the inauguration of the King of Qi, he left his son in the capital and performed filial piety on behalf of the King of Qi and his wife.

Gu Zhan and the Shen family have been married for many years, gathering less and leaving more, with only one son and one daughter.

The long house of the concubine has a lot of children, with a total of two sons and two daughters. The third room of the concubine also has two daughters and a son.

Gu Guanning and Gu Jinyan's sister and brother are the serious descendants of the Hou Mansion, and they are also the real blood of Mrs. Tai. The status in the Hou Mansion is far better than that of other cousins.

Gu Wanning smiled faintly at Bitong: "You go to your mother, and say that I came to say goodbye to my mother." ”

Bi Tong responded with a smile, turned around and opened the bead curtain, and entered the inner room.

Gu Wanning took a deep look at Bitong's slender back.

The Shen family has been at the helm of Zhongfang for many years and has collected many maids and sisters-in-law. However, this Rongdetang is not a monolith. Take Bitong as an example, she is the son of the Gu family, her mother and brother are all members of the Gu family, and their roots are in the Gu family. Of course, there are limits to loyalty to the Shen family.

With a little effort, it's not difficult to bring Bi Tong over......

After a while, Bi Tong turned around with a smile on her face and invited Gu Wanning into the inner hall.

……

Dingbei Hou's wife, Shen, sat peacefully in the inner hall.

The skin is as white as snow, the black hair is like ink, the eyes are like autumn water, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, and the nose and cherry lips are beautiful.

Beautiful, dignified, elegant.

In the thirties, it looks like a double ten beauty.

For the deceased husband Gu Zhan's filial piety is full, Shen is still wearing a plain dress, no fat powder is applied to his face, and the green silk on his head is pulled into the simplest bun, and a golden hairpin with the simplest style is inserted in his hair.

Such simple clothing does not damage Shen's beauty and moving demeanor in the slightest.

Gu Wanning's appearance is similar to that of his father Gu Zhan, beautiful and dazzling, and he is not similar to the Shen family, who has a cold and elegant temperament.

Come to think of it, this is also an important reason why the Shen family treats her daughter far and cold!

tried his best to please the Shen family, but in exchange for the Shen family's indifference. She was sad and sad, she could only comfort herself again and again, her mother was cold and cold by nature, and she loved her in her heart, and she would not easily reveal it.

Soon, Shen Qinglan's appearance slapped her hard. It also shattered all her expectations and fantasies about the Shen family.

It turned out that Shen was not inherently indifferent.

It turned out that Shen would also show such a gentle and loving smile.

It turns out that the Shen family will also love someone so wholeheartedly.

It's just that that person is not her!

…… Thinking of the past, a sneering sneer flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes, and it quickly disappeared in his eyes.

Gu Guanning stepped forward and made a standard salute: "My daughter greets her mother." ”

Shen snorted lightly: "You came early today." Brother Yan hasn't come yet, wait a minute. Later, I will lead you two sisters and brothers to Zhenghe Hall to say goodbye. ”

The Dingbei Hou Mansion has been inherited for more than a hundred years, and it is extremely filial piety. Mrs. Tai is alive, and the three daughters-in-law must be determined every morning and dusk.

The same is true for all children and grandchildren.

As soon as he finished speaking, familiar footsteps sounded at the door.

……

Soon, a boy appeared in front of everyone.

The boy was about seven years old, and his eyebrows and eyes were so delicate that he was reluctant to take his eyes off. Half-grown children are the age of mischief. This boy is rare and elegant and delicate, and his manners are moderate.

After coming in, the boy clenched his fists solemnly, called out to his mother, and turned to Gu Wanning: "Sister came early today." ”

This boy is none other than Gu Jinyan!

Gu Zhan's only son, the only descendant of the Gu family, and the future heir of the Dingbei Hou Mansion!

Gu Wanning looked at his brother who loved him so much that he didn't hesitate to do anything for him, but what surged in his heart was indescribably complicated.

Hatred, disgust, anger, chagrin, and remorse......

However, her face was so calm and natural, and there was a bright smile in her eyes as before: "I got up early today, and I came a little early." ”

Compared to acting, who can compare to her who has been in charge of the harem for several years?

Seeing his son, Shen's indifferent expression changed suddenly, and there was a soft smile between his eyebrows: "Ah Yan, have you eaten breakfast?"

The Gu family has strict family rules, and the boy is not allowed to live with his mother when he reaches the age of five. lest they be long in the hands of women, and be brought up to be spoiled and gentle.

No matter how much Shen feels sorry for his beloved son, he can't resist the Gu family's family rules.

Gu Jinyan moved to Tingfeng Juli behind Rongde Hall from the age of five, and went to the Gu family with other cousins every day to learn to study and practice martial arts.

The Gu clan is well-known in the capital, and it is still second to read and learn characters, and pays more attention to the art of war and the martial arts. Emphasizing martial arts and light literature is unique among the many ethnologists in the capital.

Many military generals and nobles who are good friends with the Gu family are vying to send their children and grandchildren to the Gu family.

After Gu Jinyan entered the clan study, the Shen family could only see his son in the morning and evening every day. Gu Jinyan replied with a smile: "Back to my mother's words, I will get up and wash up on the fifth watch, practice boxing for half an hour, and then take a bath and change clothes, breakfast has already been eaten." ”

Shen Shi was very distressed when he heard this: "You are only seven years old, and your body bones have not yet grown, so you should sleep more." Why did you get up so early? It's Zama Bu and boxing, but don't hurt yourself. ”

"I know my mother feels sorry for me. Gu Jinyan replied seriously: "However, the eldest brother and they are all practicing martial arts from the fifth watch. Even though I'm a few years younger, I can't be lazy and slippery. ”

looks like a little adult, looking a little ridiculous, but more cute.

With such a thoughtful statement, who can not be happy?

In her previous life, she had always cherished this brother very much and cared for her in every way. Shen's partiality towards Gu Jinyan is also natural in her opinion.

After all, Gu Jinyan is the only man in the second room, and he is also the biggest support for their mother and daughter in the future.

After a long time, when she learned all the truth, she realized how ignorant and ridiculous she was back then......

Gu Guanning's heart became more and more complicated and unspeakable, and he subconsciously twisted his head to the side, unwilling to look at this scene of mother and son filial piety.

Shen took Gu Jinyan's hand and asked about food, clothing, and daily life, with concern. That love and tenderness almost overflowed the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

He didn't care about Gu Wanning, who was standing aside, and was quite indifferent.

The maids and housekeepers on the side have long been commonplace.

Gu Jinyan hadn't forgotten his own sister, and smiled at Gu Wanning: "Sister, why haven't you spoken today?"

Shen frowned slightly and looked over.

Gu Wanning calmed down and said with a faint smile: "There is nothing to do." I just saw my mother talking to you about the excitement, so I didn't interject. ”

Gu Jinyan has always liked this eldest sister with a cheerful and cheerful temperament, and walked over with a smile when she heard this: "Sister, let's go to Zhenghe Hall with our mother to say hello to our grandmother." As he spoke, he took Gu Wanning's hand.

Before he could touch it, he was slapped on the back of his hand.

There was a crisp "pop"!
