Trade?

Thinking of the transaction back then, Old Madam Gu also squinted, looking a little lonely and sad.

It was noon, the molten golden light of the warm sun filtered through the treetops, and sprinkled down from the edge of the eaves, and several golden lines of sunlight were faintly visible in the air, and the golden lines were drawn straight, and seemed to be able to illuminate everything in the world, and Old Madam Gu could even see tiny dust particles flying in those few golden rays.

The breeze blows and brings the fragrance of flowers.

Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows and looked at the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, it was the winter snow and cold plum fragrance that was exhausted, and when the peach returned to spring, the peach blossoms of all colors in the garden were in full swing, and the fragrance was beautiful.

"In the Book of Poetry, it is said that the peach is dying, scorching its bloom, in addition to describing the beauty of women, is it also a metaphor for the alternation of time, the change of current events, just like the color of this peach blossom, from shallow to deep."

Old Madam Gu suddenly sighed, and the person with long hair and black robe standing beside her couldn't help but smile: "Old Madam has been a little worried recently. ”

"Worried? Is that good, or bad? Old Madam Gu asked again.

The man smiled again and replied: "That depends on what kind of Tao the old lady cultivates, nowadays the Jin people and celebrities mostly take sadness as beauty, pay attention to the emotional exposure of 'sorrow when crying, joy when singing', however, the old lady should have heard that Zhuangzi's wife died, Zhuangzi sang and sang, singing 'The husband carries me in shape, works me to live, I am old, and I am dead.'" Therefore those who live well are therefore good to die. 'I also said in my teachings that life is too short, so why not be happy in time?' ”

The old lady was very happy, made a picture like an initiation, and replied: "The Heavenly Master is really a person outside the world, listening to your words, my heart is very happy!" ”

The man bowed slightly, smiled but did not speak.

At this time, the old lady raised her head and looked at the weeping flower gate in the courtyard, and saw Zhou Yu hurriedly walking towards her with a few servants.

The man hurriedly bowed and retreated, and saluted: "Old lady, someone is looking for it, and the poor road will leave." ”

Old Madam Gu stretched out her hand to stop him, and said, "If the Heavenly Master is fine, why don't you stay and listen, my Gu Mansion still relies on the reputation of the Heavenly Master, and I am eager to bathe and listen from time to time!" ”

The man smiled and said no more, but stayed by acquiescence.

At this time, Concubine Zhou had already walked in front of Old Madam Gu and saluted first: "Old Madam!" ”

Old Madam Gu asked, "You went to the ancestral hall, did you find anything unusual about that girl?" ”

Concubine Zhou hurriedly took a stack of Saebur paper from the hand of the servant woman beside her, stepped forward slowly, and handed it to Old Madam Gu.

After Old Madam Gu took it, she first swept it roughly, frowned, and then her gaze was tightly locked on the dense font on the paper, and her face became heavier and heavier as she expected.

"Old lady, this is the scripture copied by the eleventh lady! When the slave arrived at the ancestral hall, the eleventh lady was indeed kneeling in the ancestral hall, but Li Fei and Zhao Yu, who were guarding outside the ancestral hall, were already asleep, and the slave didn't believe that she knelt in the ancestral hall all night, and the old lady looked at the words she wrote......"

As soon as Concubine Zhou said this, she saw a slender and white hand take a piece of Saeki paper from the old lady's hand, and sighed: "Good words!" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed and stunned, good words?

Is such a scribbled word still called a good word?

I listened to him: "Yes, I don't think it's good at first sight, but if you look carefully, the penmanship is smart, the backbone is clear, and the strokes are built straight like a peak and a loop, and it is strong and ingenious." After that, he spread out the Zuo Bo paper in front of Old Madam Gu, pointed to a few words in it, and said, "Old Madam, look at these words, you can see what is the wonderful?" ”

Mrs. Gu is also a noble daughter of a family, although she is not talented in calligraphy, but because she has a wide range of knowledge, she can be regarded as a far-sighted person who knows how to appreciate it, under this look, she can't help but lock her brows, and sighed: "Yes, look carefully, these words are good at grass, subordinate, line, Kai four shapes, the style is natural, the gesture is tactful, but it is beautiful and beautiful, and the strength is through the back of the paper!"

It is rumored that Langya Wang Yi Shao studied all kinds of postures, and the pen must be three points into the wood, this word can have the beauty of Yi Shaogong, how can this be a word written by a sister-in-law? ”

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu was already shocked in the conversation between the two, almost terrified, she thought that the old lady would be furious when she saw this word, but what she didn't want to hear was a series of exclamations and beautiful words.

"Is this really what she wrote?" Old Madam Gu couldn't help but ask again.

Zhou Yu was inspired and replied vaguely: "Slave...... The slave doesn't know, maybe the eleventh lady is invited...... Ask someone else to help you copy it. ”

Who could she know, and who would be willing to help her copy? Don't say it's the girls in this Gu Mansion, if any Lang Jun can write this word like this, my old body will be dead and twilight! ”

Old Madam Gu sighed, waved her hand to let Zhou Yu retreat, and after Zhou Yu left, she turned to ask the person behind her: "What does Heavenly Master think?" ”

"Did she write it, the old lady will know it when she tries it, so why ask others? It's better to see than to listen! The man replied.

Old Madam Gu laughed out loud: "Yes, it's the old man who is confused!" After that, he called back Zhou Yu, who had walked far away, and asked, "How is Eleven Niang now?" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Gu's question, and replied: "The eleventh lady is not very good, she is neatly dressed, and she can't see any injuries on her body, but her face is a little tired and haggard. ”

Old Madam Gu's eyes were slightly downcast, she thought for a moment, and said, "When she wakes up, ask her to come to my yard, and I will ask her again if I have something to say." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Yu replied and retreated suspiciously.

Only then did Old Madam Gu get up, turn around, and actually bowed to the man, and said in a solemn and sincere tone: "My Gu family's luck in the future will depend on the blessing of the Heavenly Master." ”

The man also returned the salute and said, "The old lady is polite." ”

After speaking, when he was about to leave, he heard the old lady Gu call again: "Heavenly Master, the one in the Mulan Courtyard, I also asked the Heavenly Master to help me enlighten more, this is a sin committed by my Gu family, but it is also a last resort, and I hope that the Heavenly Master can reduce the resentment in her heart." ”

The man smiled: "It's nature! Immediately, the footsteps took a step down the steps, and gradually walked away, and the wide robe sleeves fluttered up with the wind, and it looked like a fairy in the distance.

……

"What the hell is the deal?" Gu Yu asked again.

Chen Yucai choked up, and replied in a dumb voice: "At that time, General Wang launched a rebellion, and your aunt and I didn't know that your grandfather actually responded to his call to abolish the emperor and led the troops to attack the healthy city, but in the end, it was unfortunate that it failed, the rebels fled, and your grandfather's whereabouts are unknown, and the lady received a letter from the Gu family saying that as long as she is willing to enter the Gu Mansion as a concubine, the Gu family can keep your aunt safe, and work around the court for your grandfather to save your grandfather's life." ”

After listening to this, Gu Yu's heart sank slightly, and there was a trace of incredible sadness in his eyes.

"General Wang...... Is it Langya Wang Dun? She muttered to herself.

Chen Yu replied yes.

Gu Yu didn't feel that his body was weak, and the chill rising from the bottom of his heart suddenly spread all over his body, making his bone marrow feel as if he was immersed in ice water.

She didn't know Wang Dun, on the contrary, as the first powerful man in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to abolish the emperor's self-reliance, Wang Dun's name can be described as thunderous, at that time the Sima royal family was just healthy, the court was weak, the people's hearts were unstable, and they had to rely on the gate valve of the Shi clan, and Langya Wang was the first major hero among the scholars surnamed Qiao, Emperor Ming believed in Wang Dao, so that he was in charge of the center, Wang Dao was even more virtuous and did not avoid relatives, and let his clan brothers take charge of Pan Zhen one after another, implementing the "king and horse, the world" of the common metallurgical situation.

In his early years, Wang Dun was recommended by his brother Wang Yan as the assassin of Qingzhou, and later in order to seize power, he did not hesitate to kill his brother Wang Cheng of the same clan, seize Jing and Yang, and add the military of Jiang, Yang, Jing, Hunan, Jiao, and Guangzhou.

At that time, Wang Dun was strong in military force, it can be said that he covered the sky with one hand, and did not put Emperor Ming in his eyes at all, and Emperor Ming was forced to step down.

However, in the early years, someone once predicted: "Wang Dunqi's people, the sound of bee-eyed jackals, will be able to eat people, and they should also be devoured by people!" So his final defeat and death, and his family were killed by his brothers, which can also be described as a cycle of karma.

Just her maternal grandfather......

When she thought of her grandfather, she thought of her previous life, sitting on top of the court, listening to politics through a curtain, and hearing about her grandfather's deeds and the crimes he committed in the end.

This Eastern Jin Dynasty general who was born in the Wuxing Hao clan was originally young and intelligent, familiar with the art of war, both civil and military, and willing to give, good at forming heroes in the rivers and lakes, and was also very famous in the Wu County area, but who would have thought that such an iron-blooded man who paid attention to loyalty and courage became the most powerful support under Wang Dun's call, and followed Wang Dun to fight back again and again, and led the troops into the healthy city, but in the end, the army was defeated and killed by his subordinates on the way back to his hometown.

And because of his rebellion, the Shen family was almost killed, and only her mother Shen and uncle Shen Jin survived.

After Emperor Ming granted amnesty to the world, the Shen family was not uprooted.

But what she didn't expect was that in this matter, her biological mother Shen would make such a deal with the Gu family, and what she didn't expect was that the Gu family, a famous Qingwang family that had been inherited for a hundred years, would do such a thing that would lose the family's reputation, and the Gu family could withdraw from this family business, why did they take the Shen family into the door as a concubine?

Is it just for the Shen family's dowry?

With the status of the Gu family as a scholar in the area of Wu County, they are not so poor that they have to live on a woman's dowry.

Thinking like this, Gu Yu also asked.

Chen Yu said: "Lady, you don't know how much wealth the Shen family has, and how many private soldiers there are, not to mention you, the world doesn't know." ”

"Then you mean that the Gu family made this deal for the sake of the Shen family's wealth...... And the trilogy of private soldiers? Gu Yu asked incredulously.
