"Speaking of Qiu's mother, we must first talk about Mrs. Liu of the Weiguo Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the western room of Xuanrui Hall, the county lord of Qinghe didn't go to the council hall to deal with housework, and simply ordered a few words to the maid around him, and let the maid send away the housekeeper's mother who came to work, and she pulled Gu Jialuo to sit on the big kang by the window to explain the history.

Gu Jialuo was stunned for a moment, and soon remembered some strange anecdotes he had heard when he was a child.

The Weiguo Mansion, together with the Zhao, Qian, and British Mansions, is known as the Four Great Mansions, and is in charge of the four most important border defense military affairs of the Great Qi Dynasty.

But the owner of the Weiguo Mansion is the Xiao clan, and its ancestor Xiao Jian is the cousin of Qi Gaozu's relatives, and the two brothers have been very affectionate since childhood, so when Qi Gaozu raised the army, Xiao Jian risked killing his head and tried his best to help the whole family.

Qi Gaozu did not treat his younger brother badly, and after capturing the country, he canonized Xiao Jian as the king of Wei and was in charge of military affairs in the southeast.

In the last years of Gaozu, Xiao Jian was involved in the battle for the throne and stood on the wrong side, and after the first emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he directly took away Xiao Jian's title of county king and was demoted to the Duke of Weiguo.

The military power of the southeast battalion was also taken back by Taizong.

Later, the East China Sea rebelled, and the generals who took over the southeast battalion were not familiar with naval battles, and suffered several defeats in succession, Taizong couldn't, so he had to let Xiao Yao, the prince of Weiguo, come back to lead the troops.

Xiao Yao, like Xiao Jiao, has a good way of marching and fighting, and he knows how to be a minister better than Xiao Jiao, and successfully defeated the pirates who made trouble, and after another effort, Taizong finally relented and allowed the Xiao family to continue to be in charge of the southeast camp.

Since then, the Xiao family has been cautious, loyal to the king, and easily does not get involved in matters between the prince and the prince.

After nearly forty years of cautious work, they finally won the trust of today's saints, and the Xiao family's status in the capital has become more and more popular.

And the lady of the Liu family mentioned by the county lord of Qinghe is Xiao Yao's wife, but in addition to this identity, she also has a more legendary and special identity - the righteous daughter of the Zhenlie Empress Liu, and the famous general of the Women's Army.

That's right, the Liu family once went to the battlefield with Empress Zhenlie, and made several military exploits, Empress Zhenlie liked her very much, not only gave her the surname 'Liu', but also accepted her as a righteous daughter, and finally personally acted as a matchmaker, and married an orphan girl from Liu's slave to Xiao Yao.

Gu Jialuo recalled the story her grandmother told her, "What my mother said, but the loyal lady who followed Empress Zhenlie to the front line to transport grain?!" ”

Mrs. Zhongyi is the title proposed by Empress Zhenlie for the Liu family, which directly proves the glory of Mrs. Liu.

It is said that the Xiao family was not completely liquidated by Taizong back then, and the title was only downgraded by one level, in addition to the main reason why the Xiao family is the same root of the clan, there is also a point because of the loyal Mrs. Liu - at that time, there were still 30,000 lady soldiers in the capital to guard the palace, and Empress Zhenlie was still alive, whether it was to appease the lady army, or for Empress Zhenlie, Taizong had to give Mrs. Zhongyi some dignity.

The county lord of Qinghe nodded, "That's right, it's Mrs. Zhongyi." "Gu Jialuo knows this old ancestor.

Since being stripped of the prince forty years ago, the Xiao family has begun to keep a low profile, and all the adult men have been sent to the southeast camp for training, and the female dependents who stayed in the capital have closed the door to live under the leadership of the Liu family.

Except for some major festivals and exchanges between in-laws, the ladies of the Xiao family almost don't go out to socialize.

I don't know if it's deliberate, the Xiao family didn't marry Xungui like the other three major princes. In the past 40 years, whether the Xiao family is marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter, they basically choose a poor family or a newly promoted official family.

Therefore, the Xiao family has no relationship with the princes of the country, the Hou Mansion and the family.

After a long time, in the elite circle of the capital, except for some elderly noblewomen, few other little noblewomen like Gu Jialuo know about the Weiguo Mansion.

Some have not even heard of the name of Mrs. Liu.

Gu Jialuo was able to know the old things of the Weiguo Mansion, and he still entrusted it to his grandmother.

When the county lord of Qinghe saw Gu Jialuo nodding, he omitted a lot of explanations and went straight to the point: "Mrs. Zhongyi not only went to the battlefield before getting married, but even after giving birth to a child, she also went on the ship with the late Wei Guo Gong Xiao to fight pirates......"

Gu Jialuo muttered, "From this point of view, Mrs. Zhongyi is a tough and resolute husband of the middle school. "After giving birth to a child, I can still fight with my husband, which shows the strength of the Liu family.

The county lord of Qinghe also praised: "Yes, Mrs. Tai is indeed the heroine of our Great Qi Dynasty." And Fang Cai's mother Qiu was a female guard trained by Mrs. Liu herself, and she once followed her to the sea to clear out pirates. ”

"......" Gu Jialuo's face was a little not very good.

Mother Qiu is really not an ordinary servant woman, and it is really not a good thing to be hostile to such a person.

What bothered Gu Jialuo the most was that she didn't know where she (or the 'tenant') had offended people.

What worries Gu Jialuo the most is that she (or 'Gu Jialuo') is not offended by Mother Qiu, but by the loyal lady.

If it's really the latter...... Gu Jialuo swallowed his saliva with difficulty, the Xiao family acted in a low-key manner, but it did not mean that someone could be allowed to 'offend' the ancestors of the family.

As far as Gu Jialuo knew, Mrs. Liu was almost seventy years old, and in the low position of the Xiao clan, she was not lower than the eldest princess at all. Even because of the low profile of the Weiguo Mansion, the nobles in the palace were very satisfied with the Xiao family.

Offending such a respectable old man, Gu Jialuo knew the consequences with his toes.

The county lord of Qinghe also thought of this, and she asked euphemistically: "There are also a few young ladies in the Weiguo Mansion who have not yet left the cabinet, you, have you ever known them?" ”

'Gu Jialuo' is domineering, and when he goes out to socialize, he inadvertently offends people, which is also impossible.

Especially the in-laws of the Xiao family are not very high-status people, and 'Gu Jialuo' is above the top, and there are people who treat others slowly.

Gu Jialuo frowned and thought about it, trying to scavenge the memory fragments left by his predecessor, and slowly shook his head for a long time: "There should be no, our Gu family and the Xiao family are not directly related by marriage, and when I was having fun with my sisters on weekdays, I didn't meet anyone from the Xiao family—"

The female relatives of the Weiguo Mansion do not take the initiative to socialize, and most of the in-laws of the Xiao family are middle- and low-level eunuchs, and they have no intersection with the circle of 'Gu Jialuo' at all, even if 'Gu Jialuo' is domineering, she can't even touch the face of the Xiao family, let alone offend.

"That's strange," the county lord of Qinghe frowned slightly, and carefully recalled the expression of his mother below, but he couldn't think of a reason.

Raising his eyes and seeing Gu Jialuo's sad face, the county lord of Qinghe suppressed the worry in his heart, and persuaded with a smile: "If you can't think of it, you can't think of it, you don't have to worry too much." Mrs. Liu is an upright and reasonable person, she should not listen to rumors, and she will not be angry with you juniors at will. ”

The county lord of Qinghe said in his mouth, but he secretly made up his mind in his heart, and he would order someone to go to the Weiguo Mansion to find out the news later.

The current Qi family really can't withstand any blows.

Gu Jialuo responded obediently, and then changed the topic according to the mind of the county lord of Qinghe, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped a few words, and Gu Jialuo got up and said goodbye.

I walked back to the Agarwood Courtyard, and when I entered the courtyard, I happened to meet Qi Jinzhi who came back from the outer study.

"Uncle is back." Gu Jialuo greeted weakly, and without waiting for Qi Jinzhi's response, he walked straight to the main room. Of course, even if she waits, the other party will not respond.

Qi Jinzhi has been home for more than ten days, and when he faced Gu Jialuo, he has always ignored it directly, and even when he had to talk to her, he was mostly sneering.

Favoring Jia Luo is very thick-skinned, no matter how he ignores and ridicules, she will not care, let alone be ashamed, but still keep smiling.

Every time it makes Qi Jinzhi depressed.

After a long time, while he secretly scolded Gu Jialuo for being 'cheeky', he couldn't help but get used to it.

Today, he suddenly saw that Gu Jialuo was not as 'enthusiastic' as usual, Qi Jinzhi was not used to it, and he was a little interested in his heart, and deliberately strode to catch up with Gu Jialuo, and said coldly: "What, I can't pretend to be a good wife for half a month?" Gu, is that what you can do? ”

When Gu Jialuo heard this, he couldn't help but stop, turned his head to look at him, suddenly smiled, and said in a sweet and lifeless tone: "It turns out that the uncle also thinks that the concubine is a 'good wife'." I am so happy to be recognized by the uncle, and the concubine is really happy. ”

What is this, when did he say that the Gu family was a good wife? Does this Gu have long ears?

He's obviously looking for fault, how can he Gu Shi-

Wait, did he fall for the Gu family's tricks? Qi Jinzhi suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked at Gu Jialuo's smile with scrutinizing eyes, and felt more and more that Gu Jialuo was deliberately making a cold appearance, and then led him to take the initiative to talk to her.

Hmph, what a Gu family, really cunning!

Qi Jinzhi glanced at her obliquely, fully expressing his disdain and contempt for her, and even owed a cold snort, and walked towards the east wing with a flick of his sleeves.

"Grandma, why are you bothered?" Ziwei saw that Qi Jinzhi didn't put Gu Jialuo in his eyes at all, and said very distressedly.

Gu Jialuo suppressed an exaggerated smile and said lightly: "If I follow his wishes, then it is really bitter." ”

Entering the main room, the remaining Ziye had already ordered someone to prepare the smoke cage, Gu Jialuo took off his big sweater and roasted the fire around the smoke cage.

"Grandma, Miss Cousin is here." The little maid under the porch preached.

Yang Qing?

Gu Jialuo frowned, but still raised his voice and said, "Sister Qing is here?" Hurry up, please! ”

"Oh, my cousin-in-law is so polite, I'm not an outsider, what else can I please." The thick door curtain was lifted, and Yang Qing walked in with a smile in her hand.

Gu Jialuo stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Sister Qing come and sit here, it's cold outside, it's warmer here." ”

Yang Qing let the maid help her untie the cloak of the big red gorilla felt, stomped her feet, and then came to sit down next to the smoke cage, and said with a little envy: "It's better to be here, not like us." The silver frost charcoal is measured every day, especially in the front yard room, alas, my eldest brother is even more cold and windy ......" (to be continued. )
