Chapter 21: The Gu Family
Gu Qing felt that this woman was really annoying, she was really disappointing, she was obviously lively, why did she come over. The simple and kind girl piled all the joys, sorrows and sorrows on her face, and the two willow eyebrows were tangled together, frowning and unhappy.
"Hey, what do you mean! Xiaoyang has just returned, so let's not say these words. Everyone had a lively meal together. Ah Qing, you go to your mother and prepare to eat together. And go and call your third brother and brother. Gu Renle opened his mouth.
"Uh-huh, Qing'er is going!" Gu Qing nodded and went to call someone.
"Looking at this family, I have become an outsider?" Zhao snorted coldly.
"This is Aunt Zhao, Xiaoyang hasn't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much! After so many years, I see that Aunt Zhao is not only not old, but on the contrary, she is getting younger and younger, and she is getting better and better-looking! Chu Xiaoyang didn't seem to hear Zhao's mean words, greeted Zhao with a smile on his face, and began to flamb again.
"Xiaoyang's face is really thick!" Zhao glanced at Chu Xiaoyang.
"Aunt Zhao is right, thank you Aunt Zhao for complimenting! Aunt Zhao, let's go, let's go to dinner together! Chu Xiaoyang made a deep gesture of invitation, which can be said to have given the Zhao family enough face.
Chu Xiaoyang smiled and winked at Gu Rong, meaning that this aunt is really terrible, so difficult to serve.
Gu Rong looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?" Do you have cramps? ”
Chu Xiaoyang rolled his eyes directly when he heard this, or Wei Jinyan knows himself better, and he misses his senior brother a little, I don't know what is going on with him now, this royal family is the most difficult to handle, and it is the most headache.
I don't want to think so much, in Chu Xiaoyang's heart, he flatters two principles of life, one is to eliminate violence and calm the people, and act chivalrous and righteous; The second is not to offend women, only women and villains are difficult to raise in this world, the old master is really right, looking at the golden phoenix walking in front of him, Chu Xiaoyang shrunk his neck, felt very embarrassed, and secretly recited a few words in his heart, good men don't fight with women, good men don't fight with women...... I don't know her in general.
The Gu family is worthy of being wealthy, and all kinds of delicacies are served on the table, which can be described as full of color, flavor, and flavor, for Chu Xiaoyang, who has been hungry and eating dry food for a long time, there is simply no happier moment than this time, although looking at the delicious food on the table, he is so hungry that he swallows his saliva, he still sits there and waits in a proper manner, although he usually looks frizzy, and even sometimes looks a little nervous, but on some necessary occasions, he is still very well-behaved.
This person didn't come, so he had to wait in a proper manner.
Qi is located in the east, the coastal countries are rich in seafood, look at the delicious food on the table there are braised hairy crab, steamed crucian carp, steamed prawns, roast chicken and duck and other delicious food, plus the spirits of Zhao State, the famous wine of Qi State, it can be said that it is extremely rich.
Sitting according to generation, the head of the family Gu Ren sits in the chief, with the left as the respectful lady Lin, the second room Mrs. Zhao, then the eldest son Gu Rong, Chu Xiaoyang, the eldest son of Mrs. Zhao Gu Mo, Gu Qing, and finally Gu Ziming.
Gu Mo and Gu Ziming were born to Mrs. Zhao, Gu Mo ranked third in the family, Gu Ziming was the youngest in the family, ranked fifth in the family, younger than Gu Qing, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was a little shy and afraid of life, he sat up straight, and he was a little restrained at this time.
The other Gu Mo sat much more comfortable and casual, now he was a little lazy and talking to Chu Xiaoyang with or without a match, with a casual attitude, drinking the tea in the cup, occasionally glancing at Chu Xiaoyang with the afterglow of his eyes, and seemed to disdain to look at him.
Yes, another arrogant Lord!
After a while, Gu Qing helped a middle-aged woman into the house, this middle-aged woman was the Lin family, she was much more plain than the Zhao family, and people who were not familiar with it thought that the Zhao family was the wife of the main house.
Lin's temper is notoriously good, she was with Gu Ren when she was young, at that time Gu Ren was not rich or rich, just an ordinary farmer, this day is facing the loess with his back to the sky, I thought that this life would be so poor, as long as I lived a life in peace, Lin was just an ordinary peasant woman, conservative thinking, not fighting or grabbing, and always kept to herself.
When Gu Ren married Zhao, she never asked, her tolerant and docile personality made Gu Ren feel sorry, and she always felt indebted to her original wife, and she loved Lin even more.
As soon as he saw the Lin family coming, Gu Ren hurriedly got up to help her, maybe she was overworked when she was a parent, or she didn't raise her child well, and she pulled down the root of her illness, which would have to be sick every time the season changed.
Seeing this, Zhao snorted, and the harsh words in her mouth popped out word by word, she held the tea in her hand, blew it and then took a sip gently, not salty or light, and said: "People who don't know, I think this is going to die!" ”
Gu Qing, this girl, can't listen to others say that her mother is not, she is about to reason with the Zhao family in a huff, and is gently comforted by the Lin family by holding her hand and putting it in the palm of her hand, Gu Qing just gave up, and the bitter hatred moved the chair and sat down, a pair of bright eyes glanced at the Zhao family from time to time, and then looked back at his father, which means that you look at this woman who is lawless and bullied my mother, you don't care!
When everyone comes, everyone will eat together, Chu Xiaoyang has eaten dry food all the way, he has long been tired of eating, he has long been hungry all the way, and now he is letting go of eating, the Gu family is a big family, and this dining etiquette is also very particular, Chu Xiaoyang is already very good at eating, but this Zhao family doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and he said casually like a starving ghost.
Chu Xiaoyang didn't care, he toasted one by one, this meal was quite enjoyable, the happiest person in this meal was Gu Ren, he was really good for Chu Xiaoyang.
After eating a fragrant meal and washing off the dust of his body, Chu Xiaoyang felt that he was very comfortable at this time, he stretched his waist and decided to sleep well first, pushed open the door of his bedroom, and suddenly felt that his head was big, the two maids were sent by the eldest brother Gu Rong, and they just said that they wanted to bathe themselves, and now they want to sleep for themselves, the young and young Chu Xiaoyang felt that his scalp was numb, and he said that he had finally driven people away.
Chu Xiaoyang got up early in the morning on the second day, he said hello to Gu Ren, and went to ask Mrs. Lin for peace, as for the Zhao family, don't go to dislike people, just don't go.
Mrs. Lin treats Chu Xiaoyang very well, she brought him up when she was young, Gu Ren is in business, whenever there is a big business, it is common not to go home for many months, this Mrs. Lin has a very good heart, and treats him as if she were her own son.
When Chu Xiaoyang went to see her, she was watering the vegetable patch in her small yard, the green rape grew very neatly, and none of the vegetable leaves had been bitten by insects.
"I heard Qing'er say that Aunt Lin's health has been poor recently, why don't you rest for a while and get up so early!"
"Yang'er doesn't get up early, don't listen to Qing'er's nonsense, I'm all old and sick, it's not a big deal. But you just came back yesterday, why don't you sleep more? I'm getting old, and I can't sleep while lying down! ”
Lin sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with her waist on her back, and she looked at the big boy with loving eyes. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation are the same as her people, the same simple and elegant, as if she does not pursue anything, and it seems that she has long looked down on these glory and wealth.
Chu Xiaoyang rolled up his sleeves to fetch water, and said: "I'm used to getting up early in the mountains, and every time the sun hasn't come out yet, my senior brother and I have to get up, otherwise our teacher will beat us up with a stick, and if we accidentally oversleep, it will be miserable." ”
"That's not it, if you want to study, you have to get up early, and you have a good memory in the early days. Hey, Qing'er, this girl, she likes to sleep lazy! This girl has to sleep until three o'clock in the morning. ”
Chu Xiaoyang went to fetch several buckets of water and watered the flowers and plants in the yard one by one.
The woman sat on the stone bench and looked at the busy big boy, remembering the past, and remembering that when he was just held in his arms, he was so young, only five or six years old, and now he was so old in a blink of an eye. In Nanming, where the war was raging, the group hurriedly blocked the way, a child was carried into the carriage by Gu Ren, the poor child was unconscious with a high fever, she already had Gu Rong at that time, as a mother, she felt that this child was very pitiful, out of maternal love, she had been taking good care of Chu Xiaoyang.
"That's it!" Chu Xiaoyang walked over with a smile on his face, squatted beside the woman, and helped her massage, he still remembered that whenever it rained, the woman's legs would hurt.
"Yang'er has been gone for many years! Qing'er, this girl, has been looking forward to your return. As a mother, of course she knows her daughter's thoughts.
"I won't leave when I come back this time, I'll always be with you." Chu Xiaoyang said.
"It's good to have this heart, you grow up, you can go wherever you want, you just have to take care of yourself."
"Yang'er understands!"
The woman touched Chu Xiaoyang's hair lovingly, and said softly, "Get up, I'm tired after working for so long."
"I'm not tired, I'm strong and energetic!" Chu Xiaoyang smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
The woman took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Chu Xiaoyang's face, and Chu Xiaoyang said that Aunt Lin was like my mother, saying that both of them were stunned. The woman stretched out her hand and gently flicked Chu Xiaoyang's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you have always called you Gu Ren as your father-in-law, but you have always called me Aunt Lin, this is really a part of me!" ”
Chu Xiaoyang took the woman's hand and shouted mother!
Besides, on the Wei side, since Chu Xiaoyang left, it didn't take long for the King of Wei Yaoshi to pass away without help, and the whole Wei State was full of Susu, and they all whined and mourned the death of the King of Wei, but they didn't know if how many of these people were sincere, or if they were crying and fake compassion, they were sad on the surface, but in fact, their hearts were already so sad that they were hurt internally.
He also said that the drunken boy of the flower building smashed the guqin and unsheathed his sword, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.
said that the Dugu little boy of the Dugu General's Mansion didn't know why, he slept at home at night, and the next day he died thoroughly, and a sword was inserted in the heart, and he died tragically at home.
Dugu Ying was furious, like crazy in the early dynasty, when the court knife slashed several officials, as long as a minister said no, he would be charged with assassinating my son, blood spattered in the court, no one dared to say half a word no!
He made himself the chief minister and the self-proclaimed national teacher. Queen Ji Bai was so angry that she gritted her teeth, scolded Dugu Ying for her wolf ambition, and clearly said that as soon as King Wei died, she would help her son to ascend to the throne, but now she kept her mouth shut, she became the national teacher, and it was not possible for this Dugu Eagle to seek power and usurp the throne!
The left prime minister Bai Jian failed to stop Dugu Ying from becoming a national teacher, looking at the ministers of the current dynasty watching coldly one by one, he couldn't help but scold, and everyone was greedy for life and afraid of death. Grief and indignation, he crashed to death on the pillar of the court, followed the first king, and the family of Prime Minister Zuo handed over all power overnight, and disappeared from then on, and no one knew where to go.
Since then, the state of Wei has been in turmoil......
