002 Born to be serious (1)

The Great Wei attached great importance to scientific research and the abilities of military generals. It was not possible for military generals to fight and charge in battles, but also knew military strategies and strategies. The Four Books and Five Classics must also be learned. If you don’t know how good you are, at least don’t know anything about it. The civil officials stand there and scold you, which is not OK.

The founding king of the Great Wei Dynasty was actually a wise king. He did not kill the heroes who could help him to rank, but issued imperial edicts to these heroes, enfeoffed all the ministers, and Dingyuan Hou was one of them.

Her father in this life was Gu An, and she was the concubine of Dingyuan Hou’s mansion. She was born to a maid who lost her moral character after drinking and fell asleep.

Gu An's mother was low and she couldn't like her. After giving birth to Gu An, she died of depression. From then on, no one cared about Gu An, and she was fed carefully by the wet nurse. It was not until she was three or four years old that she was raised by Aunt Yue in the Hou Mansion, but within a few years, Aunt Yue died. Gu An became a little pitiful again, and no one cared about him this time, so she simply moved to the front yard.

Gu An was not allowed to love Dingyuan Hou, and even when he lived in the front yard, he was a little transparent. From the beginning, he still had a trace of Confucianism for Dingyuan Hou to the complete disappointment later, it only took three years. Gu An was unwilling to be in the status quo. He wanted to stand up, wanted to be recognized by his father, and wanted to leave Hou Mansion. He had no one to rely on, so he had to rely on himself.

Gu An wanted to go out and was afraid that Mrs. Qu would harm him, so Gu An began to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, study secretly, and practice martial arts secretly with the guards.

Dingyuan Hou Mansion was passed down from the first generation of Dingyuan Hou to the previous generation, and each generation was a general. To Gu An's father's generation, several men from the Hou Mansion abandoned martial arts and followed the literature, which greatly hit the old Hou.

Old Dingyuan Hou knew his sons' virtues well, so he focused on the fifth generation, that is, Gu An's generation.

What Lao Dingyuan Hou didn't expect was that before his grandson was born, he died on the battlefield, and his idea was shattered. Fortunately, before he went to the battlefield, he arranged for his confidant to stay in Hou Mansion. Except for the connections left for Hou Mansion, all the other confidants were hidden. After the children and grandchildren of Congwu appeared, he would take over the staff and connections left by Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

The guards in the Hou Mansion were all veterans brought by Lao Dingyuan Hou and were loyal to Lao Dingyuan Hou. They were not accustomed to the contemporary Dingyuan Hou's behavior, but because Lao Dingyuan Hou was not very good at saying anything, they could only guard Dingyuan Hou Mansion silently. Gu An's appearance gave these people a backbone. These people, together with the ten secret guards trained by the Hou Mansion, began to secretly train Gu An until he grew up and left Hou Mansion to join the army.

Gu An's sudden departure was like a leaf falling on the lake, without any turmoil, just like there was never such a person in Hou Mansion.

Hou's attitude made these people angry again, but they had no choice but to hope that Gu An could make a comeback and take them out.

Gu An was really successful. He made contributions within two years of his trip and was promoted to the Qianzheng who was in charge of thousands of people.

Although he is not a big official, he is only a small official of the eighth rank. Fortunately, he has become an official and can be considered a success. As long as he walks down-to-earth, he can be successful sooner or later.

Gu An returned to the capital for five years and was twenty-one years old. He took up a position of sixth rank in the Ministry of War. At this time, the old lady of the mansion, Qu first stuffed him four houses, and then began to look at the disobedient concubine's son, preparing to let him marry a wife who was beneficial to the Hou Mansion.

The old lady likes Gu Yan's biological mother Tang Yun.

Tang Yun was born in the Tang family of the Imperial Shang, and there was only one daughter in the family. Old Mrs. Qu just liked the identity of the Tang family of the Imperial Shang. Not only did she have money to fill the palace, but she also refused to let Gu An marry a wife who could help him, killing two birds with one stone, so she tried her best to make up for this matter.

But he didn't expect that Tang Yun was favored at home and often dressed up as a man to go out for business. Her vision and knowledge were not comparable to ordinary women in the inner hut. When she heard Qu wanted to talk to Gu An to her, she ran to meet Gu An. The two had a deep conversation and soon made a marriage.

After Tang Yun entered the door, she did not help Hou’s mansion as Qu wanted, nor did she think that the couple was in a bad mood. Instead, the couple was in love with Qin Se and Ming, which made Qu’s liver hurt, so she didn’t like Tang.

The couple stayed in the capital for three years, and Gu An didn't touch any of the four rooms, and gave them all away. Less than half a year later, Gu Anyuan was transferred to Changzhou and served as the Qianzong of the garrison camp of the sixth rank of Changzhou. The couple took their two-year-old son Gu Zhehan away from the capital. Qu had no choice but to let go. The old men who had been secretly helping Gu An let ten secret guards follow Gu An to protect him from harm, but they didn't expect that Gu Yan would be cheaper.

After three years, Tang was pregnant again and gave birth to his legitimate daughter Gu Yan. Today, Gu Yan has been in the Great Wei for five years. Gu An and his wife have been in Changzhou for eight years. After Gu An was promoted to the border town where they joined the army four years ago, this year, through the connections left by Lao Hou, he was promoted to the border town where they joined the army and was promoted to the fifth-rank border town garrison. Tomorrow, it is the time for them to leave here.

Gu Yan lamented on the bed of mahogany rack carved with magpies climbing branches, and closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, at the end of Yin, Gu Yan didn't need to shout. At the time, he woke up naturally and didn't ask anyone to serve him. He silently put on his short shirt and stepped out of the door.

I squatted and saluted all night, "Miss."

Gu Yan nodded coldly, "Yes."

Shuxiang didn't mind either, so she turned around and went into the inner room, tidied up the clothes Gu Yan had changed and the clothes she was going to leave later.

Gu Yan ignored her, stood in the yard and took a deep breath, and began to run around the yard wall.

Not long after, a maid who was about the same length as the scholarly fragrance followed Gu Yan and also ran. Gu Yan ran around, and more and more servants followed her. After a closer look, they all looked from four to five years old to eleven or two.

There are all these children, men and women, and there are nearly fifty people in total, all of whom are servants in Gu Yan's courtyard.

There shouldn't be so many people in Gu Yan's courtyard. These people were not arranged by Tang, but were rescued by Gu Yan two years ago.

Changzhou is backed by the sea. Two years ago, a small tsunami hit the coastal villages of Changzhou, killing a large number of civilians, causing heavy casualties and countless people to be homeless. The Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty issued an order to appease and save people with all his might.

Gu An was the Qianzong General of the Defense Center at that time. After the tsunami, he led a group of officers and soldiers under his command to rescue the people and never returned home for a month. After returning, he lamented with his family that there were too many casualties and injuries, countless children lost their parents and family members, and countless elderly people were facing loneliness and helplessness, which was really pitiful.

After hearing this, Gu Yan advocated buying someone. Gu An agreed, and Tang paid for money. In this way, Gu Yan went out to select a hundred children to educate the house. The better the root of the bones stayed in her Jingxin Pavilion and the two secret guards assigned to her were trained by Gu An. The lesser ones were assigned to her. They were assigned to various yards to do sweeping in the morning, and in the afternoon, they followed the special person to learn how to do abacus or the girl.
