(Introduction)

In the twenty-sixth year of Tianhe, the Great Jin Kingdom, the harem of the emperor, and the main hall of Yanghua Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the dimly lit hall, the candlelight flickered, and the low-hanging floor-to-ceiling curtains densely blocked the sunlight outside the hall. Dressed in fine clothes, Concubine Li sat half-sat on a chair covered with gold satin, her dancôme-coated fingers tightly clasped on the rosewood back of the chair, which was terrifyingly white.

At this moment, she had a pair of beautiful big eyes, due to the force, her eyes were strangely protruding, and she stared at the woman kneeling on the bluestone ground in front of her with hatred: "I treat you as a good sister in vain, you dare to ......" She gasped, her eyes were sharp: "You are unkind, I am unjust, come to someone, pour it into her." ”

Gu Xinyan slowly raised her head, her face was pale, the hair on her forehead was messy and sticking to her eyebrows, she looked at the woman in the seat, opened her mouth with difficulty, and finally closed it.

Mo'er next to her made her eyes, and the two grandmothers who were silent behind her immediately stepped forward, one pressed Gu Xinyan's shoulder, and the other reached out to pinch her chin skillfully, and as soon as her fingers were forced, only a slight "click" sound was heard, and Gu Xinyan's mouth immediately collapsed loosely.

Mo'er stretched out her hand and took a few of the decoctions on it, with a wooden face, she slowly walked in front of her, gently lifted Gu Xinyan's chin, and prepared to pour it in.

Huancui on the side burst into tears, whining, frantically shaking her head, a trace of blood meandered down from the corner of her mouth, the gag rag was loose, and she used all her strength to slam into the old mother who twisted her, and the old mother might as well be knocked to the ground by her.

Huancui got up with a bone, stumbled in front of Concubine Li, and kowtowed: "Niangniang, I can't help it!" That's the eldest son's child! ”

Concubine Li was startled, and her ten fingers tightened sharply.

The white porcelain bowl in Mo'er's hand shook, and a few drops of medicinal juice poured out and dripped into Gu Xinyan's mouth that couldn't close. Seeing this, Huancui let out an "ah" and pounced. As soon as he pushed Mo'er away, the medicine bowl clanged and rolled to the ground, and the black-brown medicinal juice instantly wet Gu Xinyan's blue skirt. Huancui knelt on one knee, stretched out her hand and slowly hugged the stunned Gu Xinyan, crying bitterly......

Fu Fangfei stared at Gu Xinyan, who bowed her head and was silent, with a dark expression......

The gate of Yanghua Palace, the long stone steps, the master and servant walked down step by step. Gu Xinyan looked ahead and whispered, "What's wrong with you?" In case she knows you've lied to her......"

Huancui's face was Ling Ran: "If the slave doesn't say that, she can let it go......" She glanced at Xin Yansi's obviously bulging abdomen.

Gu Xinyan smiled bitterly, grabbed Huancui's hand tightly, and in front of her, there was a towering and continuous palace wall, heavy and heavy, boundless......

In my ears, I suddenly remembered that delicate voice again: Ah Yan! .......

(Chapter 1: The Fall of the Family)

In the fourteenth year of Tianhe, the city of An'an was built.

At night, the Gu Mansion in the northern suburbs of the capital was full of laughter. Today is the 60th birthday of Gu Zhizhang's mother, the prefect of Hanyang, and the descendants of the Gu family gathered in the hall to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Gu!

In the back garden, a girl in a yellow shirt is walking on the path leading to the main hall with her skirt in her hand. Behind the panting, followed by the big girl Huancui, carrying a red lacquer food box in her hand. The master and servant hurriedly walked through the Moon Gate, turned the flower hall, and went straight to the lobby!

Before arriving at the hall, the girl stopped her steps, straightened her clothes, reached out to take the food box in Huancui's hand, and walked in slowly.

The candles in the lobby were bright, and the old birthday star of the Gu Mansion, Mrs. Gu, sat on the chair with a smile on her face. Master Gu Zhizhang and Second Master Gu Zhixin are kneeling and kowtowing to their mother!

Xinyan stuck out her tongue and quietly moved to her mother's head to stand still!

Seeing Xinyan, Mrs. Gu's Li glanced at her, and was about to say something, when she saw that Gu Zhizhang had already gotten up, and hurriedly led Xinyan's sister and brother forward.

Gu Yanxin stepped forward, knelt on the futon with a "plop", and said crisply: "Grandmother, Yan'er has given you a birthday!" ”

Gu's mother sighed: "Heart, liver and flesh", hugged Xinyan in her arms, and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

Huancui on the side hurriedly presented the food box, Gu Xinyan turned around and opened it, and brought out a plate of jade-colored pastries: "This is a new dim sum made by my granddaughter, grandmother try it!" ”

Mrs. Gu took it with both hands: Okay, good! The dim sum made by Yan'er is my grandmother's favorite! ”

"Grandmother, this is Heng'er's handwriting!" Not to be outdone, Brother Heng squeezed forward and glared at his sister demonstratively.

Old Madam Gu laughed and hugged the sister and brother into her arms together, "Son, heart and liver" and shouted.

Relatives and friends who congratulated the birthday in the hall also raised their glasses and congratulated in unison, and the hall burst into laughter.

Gu Zhizhang is in the prime of life, Hanyang, where he works, is a rich place in Gyeonggi, and it is only a half-day drive from Beijing, and all the officials here have been promoted to important positions in Beijing!

This is an eye-popping position, this is still when Zhang Lao Shangshu was alive that day, he felt sorry for his grandson, and gave up his old face to trust a lot of relationships to get this errand!

Seeing that the four-year term of office is about to expire, and the performance appraisal is excellent, it is just around the corner to be promoted to another level! There is the well-informed, come early to make some connections, no, a birthday banquet, laughter, guests and hosts!

The curtain of the outer door was lifted, "Miss", Huancui walked in, Gu Xinyan retracted her thoughts, her eyes were slightly red.

It's been a year, and Gu Xinyan still thinks of this day from time to time.

The Gu family started from Old Man Gu. Back then, Gu Dingshan, a child of a poor family, tried Hualang in the imperial examination hall, and the spring breeze was proud, and the young man beat the horse in front of the street, and was caught by Zhang Laoshangshu at a glance, and promised his only daughter to him and lived in the Zhang family's mansion.

Later, Zhang Laoshangshu and his wife passed away one after another, and Zhang's Mansion was renamed Gufu. Zhang gave birth to two brothers, Gu Zhizhang and Gu Zhixin, and nothing came out.

Old man Gu has never taken a concubine in his life, the Gu family has a simple population, the family is harmonious, and the brothers and sisters are respectful.

At that time, Gu Zhixin, the second master of Gu, had just become a family for more than a month, and the younger generation of Gu Mansion only had Xinyan sisters and brothers, and Mrs. Gu loved their sisters and brothers like a baby's own eyeballs. Especially Xinyan, because she didn't have a girl, not to mention how pampered she was!

Gu Xinyan once thanked God for allowing her to travel to such a simple and warm family!

She is a 21st century engineering woman, majoring in computer science. When I woke up, I inexplicably traveled to this completely strange ancient world!

After five years, she has gone from the initial hesitation to the current safety.

In five years, she has fully integrated into the family and become an inseparable part of the family! In the middle of the night, the appearance of the original parents became more and more blurred.

But everything was frozen in that night, Gu's house was raided!

Disaster fell from the sky, King Qinli rebelled in Tong County, and was informed! The imperial court sent General Ning Yuan to draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle and intercept the prince and princess of Qinli who had fled outside the city gate. The two sides fought in Tongxian for three days, and King Qinli was defeated and beheaded under the horse!

The Holy Wrath! There were many officials implicated, although Gu Zhizhang took leave to return to Beijing two days in advance to celebrate his mother's birthday, he did not participate in the incident. But the county where King Qinli took action was subordinate to Hanyang, and Gu Zhizhang couldn't escape the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy.

On the second day after the birthday banquet, Gu Zhizhang was imprisoned, his mansion was raided, and the yard was dug three feet into the ground, and he was searched several times!

It lasted for more than half a year, and then because no relevant evidence was found, the person was finally released.

Although the Gu family entrusted a lot of help, Gu Zhizhang really suffered a lot when he was first imprisoned, his body was very weak, and the whole person was a lot of decadence, and he was raised at home for half a year before he recovered!

At the end of last month, the emperor issued an edict and relegated him to Lixian County, thousands of miles away!

Compare the officials who committed crimes that day, either beheaded or exiled. From the prefect of Sipin to Bapin County, Gu Zhizhang knew that this was the best ending.

At that moment, I stopped all my thoughts and went to office in discouragement. Due to the bitter cold of Lixian County, his wife and children, and his mother were left in the old house in Beijing, and he was taken care of by Zhixin!

In the past year, Gu Xinyan has fully experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

During the time when Gu's father was imprisoned, He Zhixin ran everywhere for help, and his former good friends were like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and he was closed doors. Even if a few families open the door, they are also in charge of the reception, and they will close the door without saying a few words!

The Gu family did everything they had, pawned and sold, and dotted up and down, but they couldn't get a word of accuracy.

The grandmother held on, with a shy old face, and went to beg the old sister, but somehow, when she came back, she fell ill.

On the third day of the Gu family's accident, Lord Wei, the deputy envoy of the in-law political envoy, sent the housekeeper to pick up Gu Zhixin's newlywed wife Wei.

The sick old lady Gu couldn't stand the repeated blows and had a stroke!

Gu Zhizhang's wife, Li, had to take care of the old lady and worry about her husband in prison, so she was tired after more than a month.

Gu Xinyan had to come forward and help her mother with household chores. Looking at my grandmother and mother who are sick in bed, and thinking of my father in prison, sadness comes from my heart, and I really live like a year!

At this time, I hated myself for being a weak woman and couldn't do anything. I hate how to let myself, a useless computer student, cross over. It would be nice to change to a blasting specialty, and use gunpowder to blow up that prison! rescuing his father; Or if you study medicine, you can at least treat your grandmother!

But she knows that this is also a matter of thinking, the reality is cruel, and ideas are just ideas!

And the Gu family was hit hard by this, and the family scene was not as good as before. When Gu's father was released from prison, the Li family dismissed most of his subordinates, leaving only a few children of the original Zhang family, the cook, and the Fubo family. The huge Gu Mansion now has less than 12 people even with the master's subordinates.

Gu Xinyan looked at the courtyard that was suddenly empty, thinking of her grandmother who was paralyzed in bed, her father who was thousands of miles away, and her depressed uncle, the prosperity and excitement of the past were as far away as her previous life, and she couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent!
