Qin Jiu is not favored in the princess's mansion, the servants in the house are all dog-eyed and low-looking, and the kitchen is also tired here, three meals a day are so-so, not to mention any snacks and fruits can't be seen at all, even if Mama Yao and Huixiang are sent by the princess, the master doesn't eat well, and they are not much better.

Hui Xiang was originally full of hatred for Miss Qin Jiu, but when she saw the snack box handed over, she involuntarily grabbed it.

Miss Qin Jiu smiled gently, stuffed the whole box into her arms, and said in a very low voice, "That's it." You have eaten it all, don't let Mama Yao see it, just say that I have eaten it. ”

Huixiang thought to herself, don't try to buy me with a few pieces of snacks, hmph, I won't be fooled by you.

When the sun set, the group came to Xianghe County.

Luo Fan's guards were running in front, Zengshou was tired of sitting in the car, he came out of the car to find a horse to ride, he looked at the city wall in front of him and asked with a smile: "Heizi, why did you come to Xianghe?" ”

Luo Fan looked cold: "The family will lead the way, how do I know." ”

"Haha, haha, I believe you." Zengshou laughed a few times, and the letter horse walked to the city gate.

The city gate was opened, and the soldiers guarding the city saw the official uniforms on the guards from a distance and immediately came to the spirit: "General, this is ...... Where did it come from? ”

"The capital."

One of the guards replied.

"Nobles of the capital."

The soldier was in awe.

After reading the road guide, the group entered the city gate, and after walking for a while, they heard a few gongs sound.

Zeng Shou said with a smile: "Xianghe County Ling Zhen is on the road, knowing that we are here to sound the gong to open the way." ”

The one who struck the gong was dressed in a government uniform, and shouted as he walked: "The county lord ordered, tomorrow when the martyr will be funeral, the father and the old folks can go to see each other off, in order to show filial piety."

Then there were a few more gongs.

Some onlookers pouted: "The world is not ancient, a secret prostitute is a martyr, then all the women in our county can be a martyr, please seal the tree archway, this is called to be a again--the son wants to set up the archway, ridiculous, absurd." ”

"What do you know, that Guo Niangzi was originally to support her in-laws, and she endured humiliation and burdens for so many years, and now Guo Si came back and she hanged herself again, such a benevolent and righteous woman, what is it that is not a martyr?"

"I've never heard of a secret prostitute being a martyr, it's not appropriate!"

The man who shook his head repeatedly was in his forties, with a thin face and a few strands of wool mustache on his chin, and he looked like a scholar.

Mrs. Guo! Guo Si! Luo Fan was taken aback, turned over the rope and dismounted and arched his hand to the person who spoke: "It's polite here, I don't know what a few people said?" ”

The goatee scholar saw that Luo Fan was dressed as a military general, and his air was magnificent, so he hurriedly returned the salute: "Let the general know that it is the county official who struck the gong, and informed the whole city that there will be a funeral for a woman tomorrow." ”

"For a woman's funeral, what earth-shattering event did this woman do before her death?"

Luo Fan asked.

The goatee scholar was just about to speak, and the person who quarreled with him next to him hurriedly said: "This Guo Niangzi deserves to invite the imperial court to reward the archway." ”

The beard of the popular reading man is curled: "What archway?" Set up a chastity archway for a person who sells his body? You can tell! ”

"Selling yourself is also to support your in-laws, why can't you set up a memorial arch?"

The two of them began to blow their beards and stare again.

Luo Fan looked at the two people arguing helplessly, in a dilemma, and didn't ask for any useful information, but let the two of them argue again. And he stood between the two, neither walking, nor persuading, with an embarrassed face.

On the other side, Zengshou dressed like a rich boy, squeezed into the crowd, and saw a mother-in-law with a big mouth talking about a group of females, so he leaned over with a smile and shouted: "Sister, what's going on in this city." The woman was talking to the person next to her, and when she saw a beautiful young man coming over to call her eldest sister, she was immediately happy to see her teeth and not speak, and she poured beans into a bamboo tube and told the matter roughly.

"Childe, this Guo Niangzi, she is a hard-working person, why do you say that she is hard-working, she is very good-looking, but it is a pity that she has been ordered since she was a child, and her father and mother are honest, knowing that the Guo family is poor and can't eat, she still ruthlessly married her, which is really a sin."

"Guo Niangzi is a martyr, how can she say that she is miserable?"

"The words of the matchmaker of the parents, what's wrong with marrying in the past?"

Someone retorted.

"Fart, you pat yourself on the chest and ask, would you rather die and be praised for a few words, squeeze a few drops of cat urine, or live and enjoy yourself? Bullshit martyr, I think it's called a person...... Yes, it's not a lady to meet people. The clanging of his own poor family, and the girl of the family wants to marry and suffer, just to pass on the ancestry? Does his family have a lot of silver to inherit? Isn't it also a poor life to be born with a handle? The mother-in-law was foaming at the mouth.

It turned out that there was a family surnamed Guo in this city, and the head of the household was the fourth in the same clan, known as Guo Si. When the family background was okay, he ordered a baby kiss with the Lu family in the same city, and later the family fell into the middle of the road and became poorer and poorer, the Lu family kept its promise and still married the daughter who was like a flower, which was Guo Niangzi.

Guo Si was originally a scholar, he didn't read well, and he developed the problem of not being diligent and not distinguishing between grains and grains, and the family became poorer and poorer, and in the end, Guo Si felt that he couldn't sit still like this, so he discussed with his wife that he was a scholar, although he didn't get into the fame, but he was also literate and hyphenated, and now the family is like this, the family is going to starve to death, so it is better for him to go to the capital to find a restaurant or do an errand for other masters, and earn money to support the family.

At this time, Guo Si's son was already three years old, because his family was poor, his face was yellow and thin, his brain shell was small and his neck was thin, and his legs and stomach were like a pot that was buckled. Led by the lady, she looked at him pitifully.

"Xianggong, don't worry, I will abide by the woman's way at home and support my in-laws well."

Guo Niangzi saw Guo Si's sad face, but comforted him.

In this way, Guo Si left behind his parents, wife and children, and left with the only few money left in the family.

"He left the family at home and left on his own? Looking for a way to survive? Who will give the family a way to live? ”

Zengshou and Master Bai looked at each other, and said in their hearts, this surname Guo is really not a thing, is there a man who does this?

The mother-in-law slapped her thigh: "Yes, yes, I just look at the handsomeness of the son, the real jade tree is in the wind, and this insight is really good." ”

She stared at Zengshou with a light in her eyes, and the person next to her screamed: "Mother-in-law Yu, you have made an old mistake again, and you can't move your feet when you see a young and beautiful man." ”

"Bah, I said that there are many men in this world who are negative, and those who marry poor will be negative in the future, and those who marry good-looking will also be negative in the future, it is better to marry those who are born beautiful."

Mrs. Yu seemed to remember something, an unfathomable smile appeared on her face, and her face was full of wrinkles, like a big chrysanthemum blooming in the sun.

Zengshou hugged his fists and said, "Thank you." Eldest sister, please take a step to speak. ”

Mrs. Yu approached with a smile: "What else does the son command?" ”

"A little brother with a delicate appearance and a mole between his eyebrows on the right let me tell you that he has never failed you, but people are not as good as heaven, life and death are boundless, if there is an afterlife, you must continue the frontier."

The mother-in-law's face froze suddenly, Xu is old age has too many wrinkles, and her smile is blooming one after another, and her eyes are stunned for a while, but her face is a smile line that has not disappeared, which is extremely funny.

"What do you mean by that?"

"That's what it means, I'm just helping people spread the word."

After Zengshou finished speaking, he shook the fan and was about to leave, but the mother-in-law grabbed the corner of his sleeve: "The son has that pass...... What are the ghosts and gods capable of? ”

"You just have to remember that he never failed you." Zengshou looked at his mother-in-law playfully, "That young man is beautiful, I think you were also beautiful when you were young, hey, it's really easy to get old." He burst out laughing.

The mother-in-law looked at the back of Zengshou, laughed and cried for a while, and suddenly covered her face with her sleeves, squatted on the ground and cried.

Zengshou didn't have to look back, he knew that the scholar's soul was still standing behind her, looking at her affectionately.

As the years passed, he always looked like a teenager when he died unexpectedly, and she had already been goosebumps, and people had become vulgar and funny, but he still guarded her.

Zengshou sighed and shook his head: "Asking what the world is like, it's all fucking nonsense." ”
