Chapter 025: Legendary Woman
"Grandmother, I'll help you weed!" Gu Jialuo stood on the steps and looked, and soon found the figure of the old lady in the field, jumped down the steps in three or two steps, rolled up his sleeves as he walked, and after coming to the old lady, he squatted down directly and pulled the grass with the old lady. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Garo?" The old lady was stunned, she was wearing an indigo coarse cloth shirt and trousers, her head was wrapped in a cotton towel with white flowers on a blue background, and she held a small flower shovel in her hand, and on the ridge beside her, there was already a small pile of weeds with soil at their roots.
"You just came back, why don't you sleep more?" The old lady was surprised to see her granddaughter, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" I heard your mother say that you have suffered a lot in it. ”
Gu Jialuo took the flower shovel directly from the old lady's hand, weeded it in a good way, and said in his mouth: "Grandmother, don't you know, when she was 'there', her granddaughter didn't eat well, slept well, and didn't have much energy, and thought she was really sick. But when she returned home, her granddaughter was not in any way, and all the illnesses on her body were gone. ”
The old lady did not grab the flower shovel with her granddaughter, but instead pulled a clean cotton towel and put it on the ridge, and then sat down directly, patted the soil on her hands, and watched Gu Jialuo weeding with a smile.
Speaking of the old lady, she is also a legend in Beijing, although she married into a first-class prince, she is not the daughter of a prestigious family, but an ordinary peasant girl. This was forty years ago.
In the last years of Gaozu, in order to clear the way for the crown prince, the elderly Gaozu sharpened his knife and finally attacked the old brothers who promised him 'common prosperity': demotion, seizure of titles, raids, exile, and execution...... After a bloody storm, most of the founding heroes of Daqi were liquidated, and only five or six of the famous twenty-eight tiger generals remained.
The Gu family has military power and is also on the list of Gaozu's liquidation. Gu Xian, the Duke of Zhao, was robbed of his lord and destroyed, his family property was confiscated, and more than 170 members of the family were all sent to Liaodong as military households.
At that time, Gu Chong, the son of Zhao Guogong, was just weak, because his grandfather and grandmother died one after another, he kept filial piety one after another, delaying family affairs. After the Gu family's accident, his family affairs became more and more difficult - from a noble son to a military family, the Gu family, the daughter of an ordinary military family, was unwilling to give in, but the good daughter of a white family did not look down on him Gu Chong.
Fortunately, there is the Zhao family.
Speaking of which, the Zhao family also has something to do with the Gu family, Zhao's father once served as a soldier under Gu Xian, and later left the barracks when he was injured, and returned to his hometown in Liaodong with the silver rewarded by Gu Xian to buy land, marry a wife and have children. After more than ten years, he has also accumulated some family business and become a small landlord.
Father Zhao is a person who values kindness and righteousness, after hearing about the Gu family, at the risk of being implicated, he found a thousand households, found Gu Xian, and the two of them talked about the past, Gu Xian called Gu Chong again and ordered him to meet 'Uncle Shi'.
Father Zhao saw that Gu Chongsheng was dignified and extraordinary, although he suffered and lost a lot of people, he was heroic and liked it very much. Later, I heard that such a good man couldn't even talk about a decent family affair, which was a pity. While sighing, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that his daughter had just turned fifteen, and she looked good and had a good temperament, but there were also a few who could be assigned to Gu Chong.
If it was put in the past, Daddy Zhao wouldn't dare to think about it. But now it's different, the Gu family has fallen into trouble, become the most inferior military household, and still fall into the army, if the old sage in the capital remembers something coldly, and then take the Gu family out and toss it again, the Gu family is very likely to be wiped out.
Marrying the Gu family is definitely not a good family affair, not to mention the compatibility or not, if you don't get it right, you will lose your life.
But Father Zhao remembered Gu Xian's kindness to him on the battlefield, and after asking Gu Xian and Gu Chong if he disliked his daughter, he made every effort to marry Zhao to Gu Chong.
Zhao is a virtuous and virtuous woman, after marrying into the Gu family, she neither disliked the Gu family, nor was she inferior because the Gu family was once noble, but like an ordinary daughter-in-law, filial piety to her in-laws, serving her husband, taking care of her younger siblings and other clansmen.
It can be said that the Gu family can survive in a bitter cold place like Liaodong and have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, and the Zhao family has indelible contributions.
Then the crown prince ascended the throne, which was praised by later generations as Emperor Wu of Qi, and he continued to purge the remnants of the previous dynasty in accordance with his father's wishes. The relationship between Goryeo and the previous dynasty was irreversible, Emperor Wu of Qi ordered people to appease the Jurchens, Goryeo took the opportunity to send troops, and the battle of Liaodong broke out.
Gu Xian and Gu Chong's father and son went to the battlefield together, and made a lot of contributions, and four years later, the battle of Liaodong was a complete victory, and Emperor Qi Wu was overjoyed and rewarded the heroes. When he heard the names of Gu Xian and Gu Chong, Emperor Qi Wu remembered Gu Xian's exploits in the early years, as well as the truth of the 'liquidation' back then, and felt a little guilty for a while, and with a stroke of his pen, he pardoned the Gu family and named Gu Xian as a loyal and righteous uncle.
The Gu family returned to the capital.
In the following years, Emperor Qi Wu fought several times and completely drove the foreign races of the former dynasty out of the Central Plains, and in these wars, Gu Chong repeatedly made military exploits, and finally took back the title of Duke of Zhao!
And the Zhao family finally jumped from a peasant girl to a super first-class national duchess.
Zhao became the duchess of the country, but she did not change her nature, she was still humble and polite, and kept her duty, even if the ladies in the capital secretly laughed at her for being rude and unable to get on the stage, she was not in a hurry or annoyed, but calmly faced her origin.
even opened a plot directly in the backyard to plant some melons and vegetables in his spare time...... In the face of such a frank and indifferent person, those who criticize are embarrassed to say anything more, but feel that Zhao is straightforward, sincere, and undistorted, and he is a downright and frank person.
For such people, most noblewomen are also willing to associate - people like Zhao who do not forget their roots and do not change their temperament are better than those villains who are rampant and lose their hearts.
In addition, the grade of the Zhao family is placed there, Gu Chong, the prince who holds real power, loves her very much, as long as she is not a fool, she will not block the Zhao family from the social circle.
The Zhao family gradually gained a firm foothold in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and when everyone mentioned her, they also praised her for being virtuous and safe.
Forty years have passed, and the Zhao family has long become an old family that the ladies of the capital compete to befriend, but she still does not forget her roots and continues to grow her vegetables. At this time, no one laughed at Zhao's 'village', 'rustic', and 'can't be on the stage', but felt that the old lady of the Zhao family was very elegant!
The Zhao family likes to grow vegetables and like to serve the fields in person, which is not a secret in the capital, and it is a well-known thing in the Gu family, so it has also created that whoever wants to please the old lady, whether he wants to do farm work or not, will make a face that is willing to do farm work and help the old lady share her worries.
No, not long after Gu Jialuo came, Yao Xiruo walked in wearing a honey-colored shirt and skirt......
