retaliate

Chapter 1464 My name is Yang Chong
For Guo Xiu, Chang'an is his root.

My father said that the old Guo family was originally a small official of Chen Guo.After the fall of Chen Guo, he fled to Guanzhong, begged all the way to Chang'an, and settled down here.

For hundreds of years, the Guo family has scattered branches in Chang'an, and the total number of clan members is probably thousands.

Until she got married, Guo Xiu grew up amidst the bragging of her parents—what happened to the old Guo family back then...

In the early morning, Guo Xiuyou woke up and moved a little.The husband Wang Fu beside him farted, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's still early!"

"Wake up early to cook for the kids, and I have work to do!"

Guo Xiu tore the thin quilt away and hurriedly got out of bed.

"Get up!"

she urged.

The bedroom has been around for some years, and there is a smell of decaying wood.The smell becomes stronger when it rains, and Wang Fu often says that this is the heritage of the old Wang family.

The wooden house is well-organized, and in the eyes of ordinary people, this really has some heritage.Ordinary people's homes are earthen houses, even if they are wooden houses, they are not as big as the old Wang's house.

The ancestors of the Wang family were all from Guanzhong. In the former Chen Dynasty, a certain ancestor used to be the groom of the royal official of the Chen State, and later became a county magistrate.

It's a pity that the doctor Yushi fell down later, and even the ancestors of the old Wang family also ate Guiluo and went home to eat old rice.

"The background of the old Wang family!" Wang Fu took a deep breath.

"If there were no corruption back then, the old Wang's 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 ancestors of the Wang family are clean and honest, and they are well-known."

"Integrity and incorruptibility, just a county magistrate. Tell me, after a few years of being a county magistrate, how much money can you build such a big house? Not to mention anything else, how much are those big logs worth?"

Guo Xiu pulled her hair casually and opened the bedroom door.

Sinking into the dantian...

"Get up!"

Immediately, the old Wang's family jumped like chickens and dogs.

A few children got up, and the boss yelled to ask brother to go to the sweeper, and he was going to squat in the pit.The second child was the first to occupy the latrine, and the two couldn't stop arguing...

The only girl, Wang Qin, was only six years old, and she said in a soft voice, "Mother."

Guo Xiu entered the daughter's bedroom, "Sit down."

Combing her daughter's hair is Guo Xiu's favorite thing to do every day.

"Go out!"

Wang Fu drove out the two sons who were fighting for the pit.

While squatting in the pit, he said, "I'll go to Chen's house later, and ask about the land that might be rented from his house."

"The rent of the Chen family's land is not low every year." Guo Xiu gently combed her daughter's hair with a wooden comb.

"However, it's stable!"

"What is stable? I have some money at home, so I want to buy some land."

"The price of land is so high now, where can I afford it?"

"I think it will be low!"

"Why?"

"I went to buy vegetables the day before yesterday, and I heard a small official from the Northern Frontier Army say that King Qin hated the annexation of the land, and would definitely beat those aristocratic families and tyrants."

"Hehe! Which generation hasn't said this? But is it useful? Is it useless..." Wang Fu farted, "The steward of the Chen family said it, and now there are many people who want to rent his land. It's gone when it's too late."

"We rented his land, and our family is struggling. If there is a big or small matter, where can we find money?"

"Borrow! The Chen family is generous, saying that the tenant farmers in the family just borrow money."

Guo Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and the girl raised her head, "Mother."

Guo Xiu sighed, "Don't you know? Once a loan is borrowed, nine times out of ten it will not be paid off in the end. In the end, the whole family can only be his family's servants..."

"I think servants are also good." Wang Fu said comfortably: "You don't need to think about anything, just farm the land."

Guo Xiu suppressed the fire, "What about the children?"

"Is farming bad?"

"I still want the eldest and the second to study!"

"Study? Pfft!" Wang Fu laughed and almost fell down, "Old Wang's family was only of that generation who had studied, and those who came after were either farming or helping."

"The king of Qin said that the children of ordinary people can also study, and... let our children study more, not the children of some rich families!" Guo Xiu's hands became heavier unconsciously, and the girl's scalp hurts, "A Niang ,it hurts!"

"Oh oh oh!" Guo Xiu hurriedly let go, and then cursed at the latrine, "If you want to be a slave, you go home, and I will take the three children and behave decently."

"Bah!" Wang Fu scolded: "The world is in chaos today, and only by relying on the big family can we get out. Just you, do you want to be upright? Who can be upright these days? Only aristocratic families, powerful and high-ranking officials, and powerful merchants. We ordinary people have only one way, Bow your head."

"Why should you bow your head?" Guo Xiu was angry, and walked out of the room and said, "Didn't you hear what those people said? The old man, the King of Qin, said, why doesn't Gu enter Chang'an City? It's because there is injustice in Chang'an City. Once Gu enters City, what is it for..."

She thought for a while, then waved the comb, "I went to Chang'an alone for the sake of fairness, fairness, or Te Niang's fairness!"

The husband and wife quarreled for a while early in the morning. After breakfast, Guo Xiu was going to help in a shop outside.She works quickly and is appreciated by the master's family, and her salary has been increased twice, so in the old Wang's house, she is now the head of the house.

Wang Fu muttered, and after his wife went out, he sat under the eaves and asked his two sons to get bamboo.

Use a hatchet to split the bamboo, and then split again... Finally, it is made into thin bamboo strips, and then we start to weave bamboo.

It is impossible to know when the bamboo craftsmen in the Central Plains started. Wang Fu is the third generation of bamboo craftsmen from the Wang family.

……

Guo Xiu works in Lin's dim sum shop, she looks at Shicheng, she can speak with her mouth, she has great strength, and she does things in a hurry, which is highly valued by the shopkeeper, Lin Huo.

"coming?"

The shop had already opened, and Lin Huo squatted outside to eat Huto. When he saw Guo Xiu coming, he said, "I heard that King Qin has entered the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

"That's right! I've heard about it too." These days, King Qin's Southern Expedition is the most concerned topic in Chang'an, and there are many discussions in the vegetable market. Guo Xiu has heard a lot of rumors.

After entering the shop, Guo Xiu brought out the leftover snacks from yesterday and put them outside.

Then she moved some wheat flour in, kneaded and kneaded the dough... This is not her job, but whenever she is free, Guo Xiu can't take it easy and is willing to help others.

"It's a pity that such a hot and hot woman looks mediocre, otherwise those powerful families would be willing to marry a woman like you." Lin Huo got up and put the empty bowl on the counter.

"The shopkeeper is joking!" Guo Xiu laughed while kneading the dough, "However, my daughter is beautiful."

"Really? Bring it to see when." Lin Huo said casually. As for the daughter of a helper, is she beautiful...is she beautiful?

Guo Xiu took it seriously.

The next morning, she brought her daughter Wang Qin to the shop.

"Yo! Did you really bring it?" Lin Huo looked up and saw their mother and daughter, and couldn't help but be happy.

The six-year-old Guo Qin held her mother's sleeve and looked at Lin Huo timidly. Her eyebrows were delicate, and she looked like a clear spring.

Guo Xiu said with a smile: "Qin'er is called people."

Guo Qin has a decent body, and said in a soft voice: "I have seen... I have seen Mr. Lin."

"What a pretty lady!" Lin Huo laughed, and took out two coins, "Take it to buy food."

"This is impossible!" Guo Xiu declined.

"It's just a meeting ceremony!" Lin Huo wanted Guo Xiu to work at his home for a long time, so he naturally had to win her over.

But Guo Xiu was determined not to accept it.

"You woman! Stubborn! But your temper is stronger than most men!" Lin Huo took the copper coins.

A clerk came late, he looked at him coldly, and quickly explained, "I was passing by Zhuque Street earlier, and I heard someone say that the King of Qin is going to fight something... a decisive battle with Nanzhou, so I came late."

"Are you going to fight? With whom?"

"Say yes and what... Han..."

"Han Bi!" Lin Huo slapped his thigh, "That's the general of the Southern Zhou Dynasty! This battle! If we win this battle, the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty will be a disaster."

Everyone discussed for a while, and then they were busy.

Guo Xiu asked her daughter to sit behind the counter, and went to the front to sell dim sum by herself.

A regular customer made fun of Wang Qin: "Your daughter is so handsome, do you want to marry my son?"

"Dream!" Guo Xiu also laughed.

In their free time, everyone gathered together to discuss the great battle that would determine the general situation of the Central Plains.

"Don't lose!" Lin Huo prayed.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I won't lose." Guo Xiu said.

"Why?"

"My husband and I quarreled. My husband wants to be a tenant farmer, but I don't want to. I just want His Highness to go to Chang'an, so that it can be fair. When the time comes, save some money and buy land generously."

"Worried about being merged?" Lin Huo asked.

"That's right! Those people have a lot of means, and the government is run by them. If they fancy your land, there is always a way to take it away. That's why I dare not buy it."

"Guanzhong, it's those people's heaven!" Lin Huo shook his head, "The old man is content to guard this small shop."

"I hope King Qin will return triumphantly 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 Suzaku Street. Wang Qin ate a lot in the dim sum shop, but she still couldn't bear to look at the steaming food on the street.

"Eat, eat, eat, three children are three hogs, they can't afford to raise them." Guo Xiu laughed.

"Auntie."

"Hey!"

"There is the sound of hooves!"

"where?"

The child has no distractions, and the adult is full of thoughts, so the child can hear the movement that the adult cannot hear.

Guo Xiu turned around.

I saw more than ten riders galloping in the wind and dust.

"Great victory!"

"His Royal Highness breaks Bianjing, Nian Xu surrenders!"

Guo Xiu was startled, and then said joyfully, "This is... His Highness is coming back? My God! This world will be peaceful."

"It's peace!" Wang Qin also shouted.

……

The news of success spread into the imperial city, and Liu Qing and others were overjoyed. They immediately asked Princess Zhou Ning to reward Chang'an Gulao with food and drink in the name of Princess Qin.

Next, the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an were all looking forward to King Qin's triumphant return.

But those meat eaters are gathering frequently, guessing what changes King Qin will bring to Chang'an and himself.

……

One early morning in late autumn, King Qin led more than ten thousand cavalry into Chang'an City.

Guo Xiu has brought her daughter to work in the store these days, so she can teach her about her family.Hearing the news that King Qin had entered the city, he took his daughter and ran away.

"Hey hey!"

Lin Huo wanted to see it, but Guo Xiu ran away, and the guys also ran away.

"What's there to look at? Could it be that King Qin still takes a fancy to you?" Lin Huo muttered.

……

"Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

When Guo Xiu rushed to Zhuque Street, King Qin happened to be at this section.

King Qin on the horse smiled and waved around.

"Auntie!"

Guo Xiu's hand was pulled, and then her daughter's hand was pulled away.

When she turned around, she saw a man pushing his daughter behind him.

There are so many people here that they disappear in an instant.

"Help!"

Guo Xiu screamed while chasing.

She tried her best to squeeze forward, but she couldn't see her daughter.

"Auntie!"

Vaguely, she heard her daughter's cry, softly.

Then, someone shouted: "Get out of the way!"

When Guo Xiu squeezed to the side of the street, she saw her daughter standing aside, still in shock.

The kidnapper was lying on the ground, and a boy stood beside him, with one foot still on the kidnapper's back.

It turned out to be a child who saved Qin'er?Guo Xiu was startled, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Lang!"

"No thanks!" The boy cupped his hands, looking a little embarrassed.

"Dare to ask Mr. Xiaolang's name." Guo Xiu solemnly blessed her body, and the old Guo family never did anything wrong. "I work in the Lin's dim sum shop in Xinghuafang. When I turn back, I will go to Mr. Xiaolang's house to express my thanks."

"You don't need to thank you." The boy scratched his head, "My name is... Yang Qi."
