Chapter 14: The Down-and-Out Woman

Uncle Wang replied heartily: "Don't worry, the little lady and Miss Qiao'an, it's just a woman who stopped in the middle of the road, saying that she had something important to ask for, but I didn't pay attention for a while, and almost hit her." Does the little lady want to see the woman? ”

As soon as Gu Yisheng nodded, Qiao An quickly lifted the curtain of the car.

Outside the curtain, a thin, coarse-clothed woman knelt on the ground, her face was full of wrinkles, she looked very old, her sallow complexion showed her extremely malnourished physical condition, her black hair was mixed with a little silver strands, and there were many leaves in her hairβ€”her whole body was wet because it was still raining in Kyoto.

Gu Yisheng's heart was slammed, and he remembered when he was still alive as Wang Baochuan in his previous life - such a dress, such poverty, and such a haggard......

Moham! This is the woman who was abandoned by Xue Pinggui in this life as a substitute for himself in the previous life?

Gu Yisheng's heart was as uncomfortable as chewing and eating the leaves of the strychnine and elm trees picked in autumn, looking at this woman, it was like seeing herself in her previous life, so she said: "It's cold outside, let her come to the car to talk." ”

The four brothers looked at the woman with wariness, and they all pressed their swords firmly in their hands.

Qiao An made a place for her, and the woman was about to kneel, but she heard Gu Yisheng say: "It's cold on the ground, sit and talk." ”

Is this a little warmth and comfort to yourself in your previous life?

The woman finally sat down, very close to the people in the car, and the smell of her body was sour, and the smoke made them a little dizzy, as if she were walking day after day among the corpses of a mass grave, and as if she had been picking up garbage for many years.

Everyone in the car didn't make a sound, who didn't have a down-and-out time?

Dozens of days ago, the four brothers Shousheng, Shouxing, Shousheng, and Shoucheng were still little beggars begging on the street, and Gu Yisheng herself was still the poor woman who had been guarding the cold kiln for 18 years and making a living by digging wild vegetables......

The woman's face was full of tears, and she said, "This lady, I didn't mean to disturb, but I just ...... It happened suddenly, and I was really ...... I can't bear it......"

Gu Yisheng soothed: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

"I used to be an official lady, and my home was raided for a crime a few years ago, but I was fortunate to be rescued by my benefactor, so I barely survived. But...... But I heard last night that his benefactor, who had an accident at the horse farm, was imprisoned and was going to be beheaded and executed today...... I, I heard that you are the emperor's newly crowned county lord, can you ...... Let me see him one last time? ”

It turned out that it was not Xue Pinggui's hard-working wife in this life......

However, in this case, it is not impossible to help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and take her to see her by the way.

Gu Yisheng said: "Okay, but you have to wait a while, we still have important things to do here, if it is delayed, it will be terrible, when we finish our business, we can take you to see, okay?" ”

The woman nodded.

The four brothers remained on their guard.

Gu Yisheng had nothing to do, and observed Uncle Wang who was driving, he hadn't paid attention to it before, and the Gu Mansion was really attentive to his subordinates - Uncle Wang, Qiao'an, Qiaozhen...... In the eyes of these other eunuchs, they are also extremely well-fed, extremely warmly dressed, and even send out new ready-to-wear clothes when the weather turns cold - this morning, when Gu Yisheng chatted with his father and aunt, he saw people gathering together to receive clothes and food, because the servants who were injured and died in the Gu family were also subsidized, not only paid pensions and medical expenses for the burial and treatment of good students, but even set up a small sign in the backyard for always remembering.

Just look at Uncle Wang's clothes, bulging, it seems to be very warm, the fabrics are brand new, and even smoked with incense, the old man who drives is most afraid of the cold, and the house also sent knee pads and plush cushions, so that everyone is comfortable.

Although the Gu Mansion is a little infamous because of the political struggles and palace calculations in other mansions, it is undoubtedly very prestigious in terms of the treatment of subordinates, and there is no one in the whole of Kyoto who does not want to be a boy and maid in the Gu family's mansion.

Qiao'an put down the curtain and called Uncle Wang to continue driving the carriage.

Yes, whether the subordinates are loyal or not is absolutely inseparable from the main family.

If you are good to him, he will be good to you.

Eating inside and out, there is no existence.

This kind of relationship, in a family like the Gu family, is naturally very pure.

The relationship between people is mutual.

If it was in the family of Prime Minister Wang in the previous life, although A-Niang also loved herself, her father was always a little utilitarian and cold-blooded, so the people in the house also bullied the soft and feared the hard.

Unlike Gu Xuanlin, he is indeed a peaceful and benevolent person.

Uncle Wang drove very steadily, because Gu Yisheng had the kung fu to look at the "General Strategy" that he had not finished reading.

The drive was long, and the other three brothers were undoubtedly a little sleepy, huddled together and dozed off, only Shoucheng stared at Gu Yisheng intently-

Her eyelashes are so long, like butterfly wings.

Since he was thrown out of his house by his eldest cousin at the age of four, he has never had such a cute little butterfly playing with him.

At the age of four, he was picked up by his father, who was a martial arts master, and brought home-

"The little doll is thin, strange and pitiful, from now on, you will call me dad, I don't care about raising you one more, I can afford it!"

He was the youngest in his father's family, and the other three brothers were also very kind to him, never squeezing him out, and even leaving him the most delicious and rare things to eat.

At the age of five, he practiced martial arts with his brother and father, although his father was sometimes strict, but he always doted on him the most, and he would never punish him if he made a mistake.

He really thanked God at that time for giving him a chance to live happily ever after.

Every time, my father would use the salary he earned from teaching boxing in the martial arts hall to buy a large piece of pork, and let the "mother" stew braised pork for him, and give him the largest and fattest bowl to eat.

He ate braised pork stewed by "Mother's Kiss", laughed and played with his brothers, and looked at his father's kind eyes - once upon a time, he was also a person who loved to laugh!

He always thought that although his father was not a rich family, he actually had a small income, until one day, he went to the martial arts hall to find his father, but he saw-

Several rich families took money and smashed it in Daddy's face, and Daddy's body and face were covered in blood, apparently beaten by others-

The money earned by my father was actually earned by others!

He thought in shock.

"Young man, do you think that with the money of the martial arts master, you can afford to support the four of you? Can you buy meat every month? Especially you, who was born under the wall of a rich son, he can't provide for it? ”

Daddy's peers looked at him like this and teased.

"Originally, we didn't have to do this kind of work in this industry, we were beaten or something, and it hurt to watch."

Ever since he learned about it, he has become reticent and often refuses to eat meat.

I thought that this would be good, and my father would be a little more relaxed, but who would have thought: a certain dog official takes pleasure in torturing people, and advertises a high price saying that as long as he passes his test, he will keep the family free of food and clothing - but this dog official who takes pleasure in killing people, where will people easily survive?

And just like that, Daddy died.

was thrown into a mass grave by the dog officer, and he couldn't find it.

The four of them ran all night and couldn't find anything.

My mother's eyes were tired from selling embroidery, and one day when she was setting up a stall, she was taken by a bully. She knew that if she was looked at, it would be endless torture, and finally one day, she groped for the hanging beam and committed suicide......

He had nothing left......

He thought in his heart: Little lady Gu, the person who redeemed me, could it be you?
