My father said that the old Guo family was originally a minor official of the Chen State. After the fall of the Chen State, they fled to Guanzhong and begged for food all the way to Chang'an, where they settled down. Over the past hundreds of years, the Guo family has branched out in Chang'an, and the number of people in the family has increased.
I'm afraid I got fucked.
Until she got married, Guo Xiu grew up in the boasts of her father's generation - what the old Guo family was like back then...
In the early morning, Guo Xiuyou woke up and moved a little. Her husband Wang Fu beside her farted and said dissatisfied: "It's still early!" "I got up early to cook for the children, I still have to do things!"
Guo Xiu pulled off the quilt and got out of bed in a hurry. "Get up quickly!"
she urged.
The bedroom is old and smells of rotten wood. The smell becomes stronger when it rains. Wang Fu often said that this is the heritage of Lao Wang's family.
The wooden house is neat and tidy. In the eyes of ordinary people, this does have some heritage. Most people's houses are just earth houses. Even if they are wooden houses, they are not as big as Lao Wang's house.
The ancestors of the Wang family are all from Guanzhong. In the former Chen Dynasty, a certain ancestor once worked as a groom for the imperial censor of Chen State. Later, the chicken and dog ascended to heaven and became the county magistrate. Unfortunately, the imperial censor later fell, and the ancestors of the old Wang family also
Then I ate Guiluo and went home to eat old rice.
"The heritage of Lao Wang's family!" Wang Fu took a deep breath.
"If there had been no corruption back then, the old Wang family would not have such a big house." Guo Xiu put on her clothes and raised her hands to straighten her hair. "What are you talking about?" Wang Fu said lazily: "The Wang family has a reputation for being honest and honest."
"Incorruptible and honest, I'm just a county magistrate. Tell me, how many years will it take for me to be a county magistrate? How much salary will I have to build such a big house? If nothing else, how much are those big logs worth?"
Guo Xiu casually pulled up her hair and opened the door to the bedroom. She was so angry that her Dantian...
"Wake up!"
Suddenly Lao Wang's family was in a state of panic.
Several children got up, and the eldest told his younger brother to clean up while he wanted to squat in the pit. But the second youngest took over the latrine first, and the two couldn't argue... The only daughter, Wang Qin, was only six years old, and said in a soft voice
: "Aniang."
Guo Xiu entered his daughter's bedroom and said, "Sit down."
Combing her daughter's hair is Guo Xiu's favorite thing to do every day. "Everyone, get out!"
Wang Fu drove out the two sons who were competing for the pit position.
While squatting in the pit, he said: "I will go to Chen's house later to ask about the land he may have rented."
"The annual rent for the Chen family's land is quite high." Guo Xiu gently combed his daughter's hair with a wooden comb. "It's stable at least!"
"What's stable? I have some money at home, so I want to buy some land. "Nowadays, the price of land is so high, how can I afford it?"
"I think it's low!" "Why?"
"I went shopping for groceries the day before yesterday, and I heard a junior officer from the Northern Xinjiang Army saying that the King of Qin hates the annexation of land, and will definitely punish those wealthy families and powerful people."
"Haha! This has never been said in any dynasty or generation? But is it useful? It's useless..." Wang Fu farted, "The steward of the Chen family said it, and now people who want to rent his land are
If there are too many, go. If you go too late, they will be gone."
"Our family lives very hard after renting his land. If something big or small comes up, where can we find money?" "Borrow it! Mr. Chen is very generous. He said that the tenants in the family will only take out the loan."
Guo Xiu was stunned for a moment, and her daughter raised her head and said, "Aniang."
Guo Xiu sighed, "Don't you know? Once you borrow money, you will most likely not be able to pay it back in the end. In the end, the whole family will have to become his slaves... "I think slaves are not bad." Wang Fu said happily.
: "No need to think about anything, just farm."
Guo Xiu suppressed the fire, "What should we do with the children?" "Is farming bad?"
"I also want the boss and the second child to study!"
"Reading? Pfft!" Wang Fu laughed so hard that he almost fell down, "Only the generation of old Wang's family has read, and those who came after him either farmed or worked." "The King of Qin said that the children of ordinary families can also study, and...
·····We should let our children study more, not the children of rich families!" Guo Xiu's hand became heavier without realizing it.
My daughter's scalp hurt, "Mom, it hurts!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Guo Xiu quickly let go and cursed at the pit: "If you want to be a slave, you can go home, and I will take my three children and live an upright life."
"Bah!" Wang Fu scolded: "Now that the world is in chaos, the only way out is to rely on the big families. You, too, want to live an upright life? Who can be upright these days? There are only big families, powerful people, and powerful businessmen. We ordinary people have only one thing.
Road, lower your head."
"Why should you bow your head?" Guo Xiu got angry and walked out of the room and said, "Didn't you listen to what those people said? The King of Qin said, why didn't I enter Chang'an City? It's because everything in Chang'an City is unfair. Once I enter, I will
City, what is it for...
She thought for a moment and waved the comb, "I went to Chang'an alone for the sake of fairness, fairness, fairness for my mother-in-law!"
The couple quarreled for a while early in the morning. After breakfast, Guo Xiu went to help out in the shop. She was quick at work and was highly appreciated by the owner. Her wages were increased twice. Therefore, in Lao Wang's family, the woman is now the head of the family.
Wang Fu muttered, and after his wife went out, he sat under the eaves and ordered his two sons to get bamboo. He split the bamboo with a hatchet, then split it again... and finally made it into thin bamboo strips.
Only then did we begin to weave bamboo utensils. It is unclear when the bamboo craftsmen of the Central Plains began. Wang Fu was the third generation of the Wang family to be a bamboo craftsman.
Guo Xiu works in Lin's Dessert Shop. She looks sincere and can talk. She is strong and fast at work. She is highly valued by the shopkeeper Lin Huo.
"Coming?"
The shop had been opened long ago, and Lin Huo was squatting outside eating the food. When he saw Guo Xiu coming, he said, "I heard that King Qin invaded the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"Yes! I have also heard about it." The southern expedition of King Qin has been the topic of greatest concern to the people of Chang'an these days. There are also a lot of discussions in the market, and Guo Xiu has heard a lot of rumors.
After entering the shop, Guo Xiu took out the remaining snacks from yesterday and placed them outside.
Then she moved some wheat flour in, kneaded the dough, and kneaded the dough... This was not her job, but whenever she had time, Guo Xiu couldn't stop and was willing to help others.
"It's a pity that Feng Feng Huo Huo is a bit mediocre, otherwise those powerful families would be willing to marry a woman like you." Lin Huo stood up and put the empty bowl on the counter.
"The shopkeeper is joking!" Guo Xiu said with a smile while kneading the dough: "However, my daughter is very beautiful." "Really? I'll bring it to you sometime." Lin Huo said casually, as for the daughter of a helper.
Is it beautiful? Can it be beautiful? Guo Xiu took it seriously.
The next morning, she brought her daughter Wang Qin to the store.
"Oh! Did you really bring it?" Lin Huo looked up and saw their mother and daughter and couldn't help but be happy.
Six-year-old Guo Qin held her mother's sleeve and looked at Lin Huo timidly. Her delicate features gave her a refreshing look. Guo Xiu smiled and said, "Qin'er is so refreshing."
Guo Qin had a decent appearance and said softly: "I've seen...I've seen Mr. Lin."
"What a pretty little lady!" Lin Huo laughed and took out two pennies, "Take it to buy food." "This is impossible!" Guo Xiu declined.
"It's just a meeting gift!" Lin Huo wanted Guo Xiu to work at his house for a long time, so he naturally had to win over her. But Guo Xiu refused.
"You woman! You're stubborn! But your temper is stronger than most men!" Lin Huo accepted the copper coins.
A waiter came late and was looked at coldly by him. He quickly explained, "I passed by Zhuque Street earlier and heard someone saying that the King of Qin was going to fight... a decisive battle with the Southern Zhou Dynasty, so I came a little late."
"We're going to fight? With whom?"
"Tell me what...Han..."
"Han Bi!" Lin Huo slapped his thigh, "That's the general of the Southern Zhou Dynasty! This battle! If we win, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be huge." Everyone talked for a while, and then they went about their business.
Guo Xiu asked his daughter to sit behind the counter while he went to the front to sell snacks.
A regular customer made fun of Wang Qin when he saw her: "Your daughter is so pretty, but she wants to marry my son?" "Dreaming!" Guo Xiuye said with a smile.
In their free time, everyone gathered together and discussed how this battle would determine the fate of the Central Plains.
A powerful battle.
"Don't lose!" Lin Huo prayed.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, you will definitely not lose." Guo Xiu said. "Why?"
"My husband and I had a quarrel. My husband wanted to be a sharecropper, but I didn't want to. I just thought that if His Highness went to Chang'an, it would be fair. Then I could save some money and buy land generously."
"Worried about being annexed?" Lin Huo asked.
"Yes! Those people have many means, and the government is run by them. If they like your land, they will always find a way to take it away. That's why I don't dare to buy it."
"Guanzhong is the paradise of those people!" Lin Huo shook his head, "I am content just guarding this small shop." "I hope King Qin will triumph soon." Guo Xiu prayed.
In the afternoon, after a busy day, Guo Xiu took her daughter and prepared to go home.
The mother and daughter walked to Zhuque Street. Wang Qin ate a lot at the snack shop, but she still couldn't let go of the steaming food on the street.
"Eat, eat, eat. Three children are like three pigs. We can't even raise them." Guo Xiu said with a smile. "Auntie."
"Hey!" "There's the sound of horse hooves!" "Where?"
The child's mind is not occupied, while the adult's mind is full of thoughts, so the child can hear sounds that the adult cannot hear. Guo Xiu turned around.
I saw more than ten riders galloping towards me, covered in dust. "Great victory!"
"Your Highness defeated Bianjing, Nian Xu returned and surrendered!"
Guo Xiu was startled, and then said happily: "Is this... His Highness is coming back? Oh my God! The world is going to be peaceful." "Peace!" Wang Qin also shouted.
The good news reached the imperial city. Liu Qing and others were overjoyed and immediately
After asking Princess Zhou Ning for instructions, she rewarded the lonely old man in Chang'an with wine and food in the name of Princess Qin. Next, the soldiers and people of Chang'an were eagerly anticipating King Qin's triumphant return.
But those meat eaters gathered frequently, speculating on what changes King Qin would bring to Chang'an and themselves.
·*****
One early morning in late autumn, the King of Qin led more than ten thousand cavalry into Chang'an City.
Guo Xiu was working in the shop with his daughter these days, so that he could teach his daughter about home affairs. When he heard the news that King Qin had entered the city, he took his daughter and ran away.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Lin Huo wanted to go and see it, but Guo Xiu ran away, and so did the guys. "What's so good to see? Could it be that King Qin still likes you?" Lin Huo muttered.
·······
"Your Highness Chitose!"
When Guo Xiu rushed to Zhuque Street, King Qin happened to be at this section. King Qin on horseback smiled and waved to everyone around him.
"Aniang!"
Guo Xiu's hand was pulled, and then her daughter's hand came away. She turned around and saw a man holding her daughter and squeezing her back.
There were so many people here, and they disappeared in an instant. "Help!"
Guo Xiu chased and screamed.
She pushed forward with all her strength, but she still couldn't see her daughter. "Aniang!"
Vaguely, she heard her daughter's cry, soft and soft. Then, someone shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Guo Xiu squeezed to the street and saw her daughter standing aside, shocked.
The kidnapper was lying on the ground, and there was a boy standing next to him, with one foot still on the kidnapper's back. It was a child who saved Qin'er? Guo Xiu was startled, and quickly saluted, "Thank you, young man!" "You're welcome.
!" The boy held up his hands and looked a little stunned.
"I dare to ask Xiao Langjun's name." Guo Xiu solemnly said that he was blessed, and the old Guo family never did anything wrong. "I will work at Lin's Dessert Shop in Xinghuafang, and I will definitely go to Xiao Langjun's house to express my thanks."
"No need to thank you." The boy scratched his head, "My name is Yang Qi."
