Chapter 087: Motherhood
In her previous life, because of Gu Jialuo, Gu Qiong went to Tiejian several times, and finally took out her whole wealth to help Gu Jialuo 'escape from prison', but unfortunately she still failed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but in the process, Gu Qiong got to know Gu Jialuo's two 'neighbors': the former concubine of the King of Qi, Lin, and the eldest grandmother of the Hanlin family, He.
Reborn, Gu Qiong was full of resentment-
She complained that Gu Jia Luo was too willful, and it was not enough for her to die herself, so she dragged others to suffer and suffer with her.
She complained that her mother was too partial, obviously she was her mother's biological daughter, and her mother only had Gu Jialuo, the 'little master', in her heart, for Gu Jialuo, she didn't know how many grievances she suffered, and finally died tragically in the mountains because of her.
In fact, she complains most about herself, and the tragedy of her previous life is more because of her weakness. If she could be stronger, if she knew how to refuse and know how to protect herself, she would definitely not end up in such a field.
It's just that when she was just reborn, she only remembered her resentment towards others and ignored the deepest thoughts in her heart.
She was even blinded by hatred and did many things that went against her nature.
Alienating her biological mother, using Gu Jialuo, and using all the people around her who can be used, in her opinion, those people are no longer her relatives or friends, and their only role is to help her.
Oh no, 'compensating' her exactly.
Knowing that she used Gu Jialuo to successfully infiltrate Jingyue Nunnery, regardless of her face, she relied on Master Miaozhen as an 'apprentice', and imperceptibly felt the master's words and deeds all day long, and the obsession in her heart gradually dissipated.
Especially the master chose an excellent marriage for her, and the family helped her prepare a very rich dowry, and even Gu Jialuo, who was estranged from her, was busy with her husband and did not forget to leave her makeup before going to work, and Aunt Cui even took out all the private rooms and stuffed them to Gu Qiong, so that she could live a good life...... All of this finally melted the ice in Gu Qiong's heart, and she no longer looked at every relative with vigilance like a hedgehog, at least she could look at them with a normal mentality.
The in-laws were selected by Master Miaozhen for her, the family is neither high nor low, it is the Xiao clan, her father is a general of Zhenguo, and she is a cousin of Wei Guogong.
Husband Xiao Rulian, the second son of the family, entered the Praetorian Guard and became an eight-rank petty military attaché.
On the surface, Xiao Rulian's conditions are not particularly good, the second son, without a title, will not be able to share too much family property in the future.
However, in fact, Gu Qiong is very satisfied with this marriage, because Xiao Rulian's branch is deeply influenced by the Weiguo Mansion, the family is quite well-behaved, the men are motivated, and the women are harmonious, not as decent as those prominent clans, but there is no such thing as those people who are arrogant and lascivious, drunk and dreaming of death.
Xiao Rulian is nineteen years old this year, with handsome facial features and dignified appearance, although he is a military attaché, he does not have the slightest vulgarity, but has a sense of nobility and elegance.
Although he loves to read, he will dance and write on weekdays, but he is not sour and rotten, and he is not stupid for some readers.
With the help of Gu Jialuo, Gu Qiong secretly glanced at Xiao Rulian, and immediately fell in love with this sparse and frank young man.
As for Xiao Rulian's inability to inherit the title and most of the family property, Gu Qiong didn't care so much.
With the experience of her previous life, she felt that as long as her husband was motivated, she was better than any title.
Family property or something, Gu Qiong is not worried, although she is a concubine, but in the end, she is the daughter of the prince, and she has a sister (that is, Gu Jialuo) to take care of her, and the dowry must be indispensable.
Relying on her dowry, even if the family is separated in the future, she and Xiao Rulian can live well.
Of course, the experience in her previous life was too tragic, and she would not easily use her dowry to supplement her family before she determined Xiao Rulian's character and friendship for her.
Although Gu Qiong was nurtured by Master Miaozhen and forgot her hatred, some things were engraved into her bone marrow, so that she could not forget it no matter what.
Fortunately, reliving her life made her understand many things, that is, she must not be separated from her mother's family, and she must not lose her 'lining' for the sake of the so-called 'face'.
Therefore, when Gu Qiong was preparing for marriage at home, she tried to get closer to her grandmother, mother and younger brothers, and often wrote letters to Gu Jialuo, who was far away in the southwest.
Because the knot in her heart has been born, Gu Qiong can't be as close to Gu Jialuo as she was in the past, but there is no problem in interacting like a normal sister.
Gu Jialuo felt the changes in Gu Qiong, although she didn't know what this girl had experienced in the past, but for the sake of the past love and Aunt Cui's face, she still generously added makeup, and when she was ready to vigorously develop the economy of Wusa in the coming year, she would pull the girl into a share.
Gu Jialuo is a rich man, and before leaving, he cheated Gu Lin again, and the property in his hand is not ordinary.
Therefore, her makeup is not a set of jewelry or a few pieces of fabric, but it is definitely 'rich': a shop on the second floor of the West Street, a small grange on the outskirts of Beijing, and a large box of various precious medicinal materials, gold and silver gadgets.
It can be said that with such a 'makeup', you can marry a young lady in an ordinary eunuch's house.
After receiving the gift list, the house deed, and the land deed, Gu Qiong suddenly burst into tears, no matter what, her sister is still her sister-in-law!
There is also Master Miaozhen, for Gu Jialuo's sake, and seeing that Gu Qiong is indeed honest, he also added a rich dowry to her: a small courtyard in the inner city, a hundred acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, and a variety of in-house jewelry and a number of tribute brocade silks.
With the makeup of these two, plus the Gu family's father-in-law and the Song family's private filling, Gu Qiong actually collected sixty-four dowries, and married into the Xiao family with ten miles of red makeup.
After passing the door, her in-laws are loving, her concubines are kind, and her husband Xiao Rulian is a good person who knows cold and hot, Gu Qiong wakes up every day full of happiness and sweetness, and all kinds of things in the previous life have already been thrown by her to Java.
"**Milk, what's wrong? But see an acquaintance? ”
The maid serving in the carriage saw Gu Qiong looking out the window in a daze, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Oh, nothing, let's go into town."
Gu Qiong retracted her gaze, pretending to have nothing to do with tea and snacks, but she was secretly thinking in her heart: I heard that the Lin family was removed from the jade by the Zongren Mansion, and after leaving the Tiejian Nunnery, he left Beijing, and there was no news of her.
Why did you suddenly run back to the capital now?
Still mixed with Tao Qi?
Thinking of Tao Qi, Gu Qiong couldn't help but sneer twice, this woman was really spoiled, but she was raised by the master for a few years, and she really regarded herself as a golden branch and jade leaf, a wealthy lady.
actually relied on the master's guilt for her, and the lion opened his mouth to ask to marry his eldest cousin Feng Mingbo.
Phew!
She doesn't look at herself in the mirror, she is a ruined family with no talent, no appearance and no family background, where is she worthy of the eldest young master of the Feng family who is Zhilan Yushu and Fengshen is handsome? !
Therefore, Master Miaozhen unceremoniously rejected Tao Qi's request, and bluntly said that either Tao Qi would marry a family like Gu Qiong who looked glamorous on the surface, but was very affordable on the inside, or simply ignored Tao Qi, let her choose by herself, and finally gave her a dowry, which was considered to be the whole of their love for several years.
Master Miao Zhen has never been a soft-hearted person, and if he decides to let go, he will definitely not hesitate.
Directly ordered someone to send Tao Qi back to Tao's house and close the mountain gate of Jingyue Nunnery, unless she was called, it would be difficult for Tao Qi to enter and leave the nunnery at will.
After all, Gu Qiong hadn't seen Tao Qi for several days, and when she suddenly saw her today, for some reason, she had a bad premonition.
"You go find someone to keep an eye on Tao Qi and see what she's been up to lately!"
Back at Xiao's house, before getting off the carriage, Gu Qiong instructed the big maid beside her.
Recently, the situation in Beijing has changed abruptly, and even clans like Xiao Rulian have closed the door, lest they be implicated in the big case of rebellion, Gu Qiong is worried that Tao Qi will take the opportunity to make waves.
has been a 'senior sister' with her for more than a year, and Gu Qiong still understands a little bit of this dead girl's arrogant temperament.
"Yes, the servant saved."
The eldest girl is the son of the Gu family, and the family was escorted to the Xiao family as a companion, and her brother happened to be at the age of being an errand, so it was just right to help the third lady run errands outside.
……
In the prison, the light was dim, and the surrounding air was filled with a smell of blood and rancidity, and the ears were even more reminiscent of the terrible screams, so that the people in the middle couldn't help but wonder if they had gone to hell.
In a cell in the back, there are brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, and a large number of men, adding up to a dozen or so people.
One by one, they all bowed their heads, their faces full of despair, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the sheepfold, lest they would be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market for beheading in the next moment.
Especially Qi Lingqing's father and son, in addition to despair, they are also full of resentment. They can obviously split up, but if they do, they don't have to die together.
As a result, the dead old woman refused to do anything, and insisted on detaining their family to live in Dongqi. Everything they say is the blood of a family, and they can't bear to share them to suffer.
Of course Qi Lingqing wouldn't believe it, but at that time, he only remembered the grievances of the old pious woman and wanted to continue to torture them, so he refused to let them go out alone.
But now it seems that the old woman clearly wants to drag them to death together!
It's really a thief to be old and not dead, so old, and so vicious!
Qi Lingqing was so hateful that his teeth creaked and thought, after spending a few days in the edict prison, his whole person was in extreme fear, and he was almost on the verge of collapse.
"Ah~~ I move, I recruit all-"
The screams from the torture room not far away soared into the sky, and it also ripped off Qi Lingqing's last nerve.
I saw him jump up with a snort, rushed straight to Qi Lingyuan, kicked the brother who was sitting cross-legged hard, and scolded almost madly in his mouth: "You are a rebel, if you want to die, you will die yourself, why do you want to pull our family?" I have long said that I want to separate the family, but your mother and son do not agree. It sounds good, but secretly it has already made up its mind to harm us. I'll kill you black-hearted bastard, I'll kill you, I'll kill you! ”
Qi Lingyuan is over forty years old, but he is in good health because of his perennial martial arts practice, and at the moment when Qi Lingqing's feet fell, he still jumped up from the ground with a carp, turned around, and dodged Qi Lingqing's fists and feet.
snorted coldly, "Presumptuous, Qi Lingqing, you dare to insult and beat your mother's eldest brother?" Are you crazy? ”
"Crazy? That's right, I'm really crazy, I let you pair of vicious mothers and sons drive me crazy, all these years, the old pious woman has suppressed me everywhere, and forcibly raised me, really I don't understand anything? ”
Qi Lingqing's eyes were red, his hair was unkempt, his two hands kept chasing Qi Lingyuan, and he scolded in his mouth: "I am also my father's son, and I am also a descendant of Wu Xianggong, how can I be born a waste?" It's all your fault, I'm afraid that I'll steal your limelight from me, so you will spare no effort to suppress me. All the minions in the family can go to the camp to practice, lest I am not allowed to go. You just tortured me, even my son was spared, woo, and now he is even more vicious at home, even taking our lives. ”
"Qi Lingyuan, I really want to see what your heart is doing, why is it so vicious?"
"Old Qianma, you are old and immortal, you stir up wind and rain all day long, and all the good Qi family has been ruined, and the foundation left by your ancestors has been cleaned up by your family. I really want to ask, if you die, what face will you have to see Wu Xianggong and your father? ”
"Qi Lingyuan, you bastard, you go and tell the saint, tell the commander, I really don't know about your rebellion, woo, our family has been wronged!"
Qi Lingqing cried hoarsely while chasing Qi Lingyuan like crazy.
is still the brother of Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi, one kicked over Qi Shenzhi who was blocking him, and the other rushed forward, pushed Qi Lingqing away forcefully, and protected Qi Lingyuan behind him.
"Uncle, when is it, are you still making trouble?"
Qi Qinzhi frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"Haha, hahaha, Brother Qin, Brother Mian, you are really filial brothers, but unfortunately you will soon be killed by your own father."
Qi Lingqing was pushed to the ground by Qi Mianzhi, he didn't get up, he lay directly on the ground covered with damp straw, stared at Qi Qinzhi's brother and laughed loudly, shouting like crazy: "I'm afraid you don't know, our Qi family still has a life-saving talisman, but it's a pity that it is in the hands of Qi Lingxian in the west." However, according to the vicious thoughts of the old thief, she will definitely try her best to force Qi Ling to get the holy decree to save people. I just don't know, which of the three of you father and son will she save? ”
Qi Lingqing seemed to have discovered something interesting, his eyes flashed with malice, and he slid over the faces of Qi Lingyuan's father and son one by one, and said in a sinister manner: "Tsk, one is a baby son, one is the eldest grandson, and the other is a baby little grandson, but only one of the three can survive, the old thief must be extremely heartbroken and entangled at this time." Haha, hahaha! ”
Qi Lingqing laughed so much that his voice was out of tune, and the few people present felt panicked.
However, his words entered the hearts of some people, and a dark light flashed in the eyes of Qi Qinzhi and Qi Mianzhi's brothers.
Among the female prisoners on the other side, the eldest princess was indeed entangled, she made a deal with Yao Xiruo and saved Qi Qinzhi.
But what about Qi Lingyuan and Qi Mian's father and son, which one should be saved?!
