Chapter 115 Dugu
Everyone has their own life trajectory, just like Shen Zhen was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, wealth and glory are at his fingertips; Just as Zhong Wuya was born in a scholarly family, his knowledge and vision are naturally superior; Just as Sima Yefeng was born with a low background, and his fortune in his life was surprisingly poor, so only by relying on continuous efforts can he have a chance to get ahead.
And the man walking on the glacier, life is as lonely as his name, lonely - lonely! He was born not low, he was originally the eldest son of the Dugu family of the Guanlong aristocratic group, if it was normal, the opportunities in this life would probably not lose too much to the eldest son of the Shen family, but the fact is the opposite, just because when he was born, the Dugu family, which had been glorious in Chinese history for more than 600 years, had declined to an unbearable situation.
The decline of ordinary families is due to misfortune or the immorality of the head of the family, or it is also due to the collapse of the entire interest group. And the decline of the lonely family is very strange, just because Dugu's father was born by a famous scholar who said that it was a disaster star that hindered the dynasty.
Originally, even if these words came from everyone's mouth, if there was no response to bad luck, it would be considered absurd for a long time, but the entire Dugu family really started to be unlucky with the birth of that child. In the early years of the Showa era, the new monarch was established, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty also showed a prosperous and peaceful situation with the accession of the young king.
Emperor Zhaohe of Zhou was not only a rare promising king in history, but also made great efforts to govern the country from the beginning of his ascension to the throne at a young age, encouraging production and persuading agriculture and mulberry. And the head of that generation, that is, Dugu's father's grandfather, Dugu was upright, but he stuck to the old customs as if he was dizzy, and stereotyped that as long as he followed the ancestral system, he could continue the glory of the family in the past.
People who can be the head of a big family often need to pass long-term training and layers of tests, so the final person who is on top is all the best among people. And when he just succeeded the head of the family, he did bring the entire family to the highest peak within a hundred years, and the entire family was once promoted to the second place in the ranking within the Guanlong Group.
But all this changed dramatically overnight with the birth of the lonely father, Dugu Yuming. First of all, the entire family was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven for sticking to the old system, and the entire Guanlong Group was implicated. After all, as the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to make trouble with a small family, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he reprimanded the entire force together.
If the day catches up with the ordinary season, this kind of problem is to lose more smiling faces, lose some silver, and it will pass, after all, although the reputation of being scolded is not very good, but it does not have much profit or loss for the entire chain of interests. In the end, although this kind of big tycoon does not regard the king as nothing, but it is said that the Son of Heaven has been prosperous for thousands of years, and how many people have heard of the overthrow of such a large group?
But unfortunately, because of the gradual prosperity of his family, there was a concubine who dared to compete with the Wang family, the first family of Guanlong, because of the competition for the Qinglou Oiran and was jealous. Originally, this was also a trivial matter, but the heir of the concubine was really in love with the Qinglou woman, and he actually arranged people to settle in the Golden Bird Building because of this matter, and found a killer to kill the descendants of the Wang family.
This time it can really be said that it stabbed the hornet's nest, and the trivial matter that was originally just a reprimand of the Son of Heaven was taken out by the Wang family to play on the topic, so as to frantically suppress the entire Dugu clan. For this reason, Dugu Shouzheng didn't know how many smiling faces he accompanied, how many favors he used, and how many relationships he moved to reluctantly resolve the matter.
However, there is a saying that disaster is not a one-way street, if people are really unlucky, it can really be said that even drinking a glass of cold water will stuff their teeth. Just when Dugu Shou just didn't allow someone to reconcile with the Wang family, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, a catastrophe once again befell the unlucky Dugu family, and a small family that had been bullied by the Dugu family had a close minister of the Son of Heaven. In the early years of the Showa era, after the new monarch ascended the throne, the reduction of the bones and the grasp of the new Jin scholars can be regarded as an answer to a rare situation in ancient and modern times.
In the past, there was a change of dynasty, and most of the deacons and officials within the six ministries would stay in office, after all, technical personnel could not be cultivated by training. The reform during the Showa period not only involved the reform of the top-level officials, but even many low-level officials and officials were also dismissed due to conformity, which gave the heirs of such a small family a chance to ascend to the sky.
History books often say that the peasants who became landlords because of the peasant uprising often did more than the original landlords who oppressed the peasants. This is not because the peasants who have become landlords are not kind, but because the biggest change brought about by the expansion is the people's hearts. And this one, later became a disaster for the country, of course, after he ascended to the throne, the first scourge was naturally to suppress his family's Dugu clan.
In just three years, the Dugu clan has rapidly declined at an incredible speed, not only did they fall out of the wave-breaking ship of the Guanlong aristocratic group, but even some small families in the local area who were originally not in the stream dared to ride on their heads to make a fortune, after all, it was once the second largest family in the northwest, and they could step on it, which was called a sour.
"Yo, I said eldest sister, my father-in-law bought me a lot of jewelry this year, you see, this, this, and this are all newly added this month. Of course, my sister is naturally not as good as my sister, and you can marry into a big family like the Dugu family! I don't know what your father-in-law has bought for my sister these days, so it's better to take it out and open my sister's eyes! The woman pointed to the object on her body, and boasted to her cousin, as if she had completely forgotten that when her cousin had gained power in the previous years, she had never given much to her young sisters who had married into the lower clans, not to mention the worthless rouge gouache, but some gold and silver bracelets, and gave away not fifty but thirty.
Shengmi en, the ancients did not deceive me, people's hearts have been repeated here, the woman who is far more intelligent than this cousin, looking at the scene in front of her, can't help but tuck the faded cuffs in, and feel sad for a while.
Similar scenes abound in the entire family, and in a big family like Xiang Dugu, once there is a problem, the most difficult thing to solve is the tail and endless consumption. The family population is more than 1,000, and only food and clothing are astronomical figures, and there are only items out of the item, and the time without the item has passed for three years. In the past three years, Dugu Shouzheng has no previous spirit, and the whole person seems to have aged a lot overnight, and finally vomited three liters of blood and died on the bed.
The head of the family is working hard, and the family is thriving, why is it so decadent in just three years? So some people in the family began to bring up the old things again, and took out the matter of Dugu Yuming's approval to talk about it. It's ridiculous to blame the whole family's depravity on a child who is still babbling, so in the end, such words only stay on the short-term and slander behind the people's backs.
In the following ten years, the situation of the Dugu clan did not improve in the slightest, and many collateral families began to make their own livelihoods. When Dugu Yuming and the crown arrived, the entire family went through two heads of the family, but the family became a dilapidated situation with only a few dozen people left.
The crowd was full of gold, and the adult Dugu Yuming finally couldn't bear such criticism, and finally broke away from the family. It's just that the rest of the situation is also very miserable, leaving the family, he can only help people write letters and do some help to survive, fortunately he was born handsome, and finally got a village woman with a mediocre appearance as a wife.
But in the end, because there were too many things to do in this life, just when his wife was about to give birth, he died depressed without waiting for the birth of the child, and only left a letter to the fetus in the womb before he died. The woman was only living in a mountain village with him, and now there are few people to take care of her, so she still does everything herself in the confinement no matter how big or small, so she really didn't survive the confinement, and she died.
Originally, such babies who were orphaned before the full moon were probably not living long. But the child's life was so hard that the little guy felt that he was very hungry, so he crawled and broke free of the swaddling clothes, fell to the ground and did not cry, and crawled out of the house as if he had a spiritual sense. Perhaps it was really destiny to die, but while crawling on the mountain road, he was taken as a child by a bereaved doe and brought back to the mountains in his mouth.
Born with a strong self-cultivation, Dugu, who grew up with the deer, actually opened his own spiritual knack and discovered his difference at a very young age. At the age of seven, he became the leader of the deer herd, and learned many fighting techniques in fighting other beasts, but later he found that the occasional standing posture like that of an ape or a bear was more conducive to killing and fighting, so he began to slowly try to walk upright.
That year, he rescued a man who looked similar to his reflection in the water while resisting an attack by wolves, and he looked up and down curiously. The man was originally a scholar who traveled to study, and his trip to the northwest was originally to appreciate the vast scenery of this place, but he almost died in the wolf's belly before he saw the scenery, so he was particularly close to the young man who saved his life.
When the scholar saw his strange behavior, he couldn't help but understand the scene here, so he began to teach Xiao Dugu to speak and read when he was overflowing with sympathy, and it was three years from spring to autumn. Three years later, the scholar took Dugu down the mountain to inquire about his life experience, and there was only one village at the foot of the mountain, so it was easy to determine his life history after repeated inquiries.
After ten years of cold and summer, the thatched hut where Dugu was born has long been dilapidated, and the scholar can't help but feel sad when he looks at the scene in front of him. But Xiao Dugu, who knows little about the world, doesn't see joy and sorrow, but just looks at the scholar's appearance and is curious.
"This is your home." The scholar sighed
Dugu nodded and shook his head, as if he understood something, but there were more things he couldn't understand, but fortunately, he was simple-minded, and if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, and he was a lot less troubled.
"You're actually from the Dugu clan?" The scholar who was looking through the old things in the house couldn't help but exclaim after reading the letter that was hidden in the box by the woman, but it was Dugu Yuming to the child. Regardless of whether it is dilapidated or not, in the eyes of many readers, the life stories of the descendants of those once glorious clans are worth taking a look at
This time Dugu just shook his head, this time he didn't understand at all, Dugu's two words seemed to sound very kind, maybe it was just his fetal movement or swaddling memory, now it is too vague to think about.
On that day, the scholar helped him set up the tomb of his parents at the foot of the mountain, and told him not to forget to come back often to worship, he just nodded, as long as everything he said, Dugu was very willing to listen.
On that day, the scholar took the ten-year-old Dugu down the mountain, but no one could have imagined that this descent was like a thunderstorm in nine days, and that movement shook the entire Shenzhou!
