Chapter 68 Chivalrous Woman

Gu Sheng, a native of Jinling, is 25 years old. He is single and poor, erudite and talented. He is dependent on his mother and is good at calligraphy and painting.

There is an empty house opposite the door, where an old woman and her daughter live. Because there is no man in the family, she doesn't have much contact with outsiders. One day, Gu Sheng went out and returned. He saw a girl coming out of her mother's room. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was beautiful and elegant. She was rare in the world. She did not avoid seeing herself, but her expression was cold and awe-inspiring.

Shang Sheng entered the room and asked his mother, "Who was that girl just now?"

The mother said, "The girl from the opposite door came to borrow scissors from me and said that there was only one mother in the family, and this woman was not like a poor child. When asked why she didn't get married, she said, 'My mother is old and can't bear to abandon her.' You can visit tomorrow and make it clear by the way. If the old lady is willing, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, just marrying her daughter.

The next day, Gu Sheng went to visit the opposite door. The girl's mother was a deaf old woman. Her family was poor and relied on her daughter's knitted embroidery. Gu Sheng tested with marriage. The old lady had no opinion, but the girl was silent and looked very unhappy.

Gu Sheng came back to discuss with his mother, and the two privately guessed, "Does the girl dislike my poverty?" Seeing that she is quiet and smiling, as bright as peaches and plums, but as cold as frost and snow, she is really strange.

One day, Gu Sheng sat quietly in the study. A teenager came to ask for a painting. He was handsome, but his words and deeds were very frivolous. He said that he was a scholar from the neighboring village. Since then, the teenager has come every three or two days, and the two gradually become familiar with each other. You hug me and forget about it.

One time, the teenager saw the girl passing in front of him and asked, "Who is she?" Gu Sheng replied, "The girl next door." The teenager smiled and said, "It's so beautiful, but why is the expression cold and intimidating?"

After a while, Gu Sheng came into the room to meet his mother. The old lady said, "Just now, the woman came to borrow rice. The house has been interrupted for several days. This woman is filial, and her poor family is pitiful. She can be properly rescued in the future."

Gu Sheng obeyed his mother's order and came to visit with a bucket of rice on his back. The girl accepted the rice, and her words were still cold, and she did not thank her. In the future, girls often come to Gu's house. Whenever Gu's mother makes some hand-knitting, she will come forward to help. He went in and out of the hall to help with the housework, just like his daughter-in-law. Gu Sheng looked in his eyes and was secretly grateful. Every time she sold the painting, she always gave her a part of it. The girl accepted it calmly, but she never mentioned the polite words of gratitude.

Once, I took care of my mother's selfishness. She was sick, the pain was unbearable, and she groaned day and night. The girl heard the news, took the initiative to take care of it, and applied medicine to clean it.

Gu's mother was uneasy and said, "Alas, if there is such a daughter-in-law as a girl, she will die without regret." The girl comforted her: "Mr. Gu is more filial than my orphan and widow."

Gu's mother sighed and said, "That being said, there are some trivial things at the head of the bed, which are only suitable for women. Men can't help. What's more, I'm old, and I don't know if I'll be grounded one day. The only thing that reassures me is that the Gu family has no descendants.

While talking, Gu Sheng came in, and his mother cried and said, "Son, this illness, thanks to the girl's care and great kindness, you should always remember it." Hearing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

The girl said, "I have never thanked you for taking care of my mother. You don't have to be polite. You don't have to thank me."

One day when the girl went out, Gu Sheng stared at her eyes. The girl suddenly looked back and smiled. Gu Sheng was overjoyed and followed her home. Her words were provocative, and the girl did not resist. The two happily made friends. Joy.

After that, the girl warned, "This matter can't be done again." Gu Sheng was silent and visited as usual the next day. He flattered her in every way. The girl looked cold and ignored her.

In the daytime, the girl still rushed to the door from time to time. When the two met, the girl looked awe-in and did not fake words at all. If Gu Sheng takes the initiative to talk to her, the girl will respond coldly.

On this day, the girl asked Gu Sheng in silence, "Who is that teenager during the day?"

Gu Sheng told the truth, "He is a scholar next door who came to buy paintings."

The girl said, "This man is frivolous and often rude to me. For the sake of your friendship, I don't care about him. You tell him for me: If you talk crazy again, you are looking for your own death.

The next day, when the teenager came, Gu Sheng conveyed the girl's words and told her, "Be careful in the future and don't invade her again." The teenager sneered and said, "I can't invade, you can violate?" Gu Sheng defended, "Who said I violated her?"

The teenager said, "If you two have nothing to do with each other, why does she just tell you these obscene words?" Gu Sheng opened his mouth and couldn't answer.

The teenager said, "I also want you to tell you: Please advise the woman not to be pretentious. Otherwise, don't blame me for spreading the scandal between you two everywhere." After saying that, he went away with hatred.

Gu was so angry that his blood was boiling. From then on, he no longer had contact with the teenager. This night, Gu Sheng sat alone in the bedroom. He never thought that the girl pushed the door and said, "My relationship with the prince is not broken. This is God's will." Gu Sheng was ecstatic and hugged the girl in his arms. He was about to love me. Suddenly, the footsteps approached quickly. The two stared, but the teenager came uninvited.

Gu Sheng said angrily, "What do you mean?"

The teenager sneered and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to see how the chaste martyr steals a man." Looking at the girl, she said, "This time you caught the adulterer in bed, you have nothing to say."

The girl's willow eyebrows stood up and silent. She quickly turned over her coat, exposed a leather bag, and reached into it. In an instant, a white light flashed, and there was a crystal dagger with a ruler in her hand.

As soon as the teenager saw the sharp weapon, he looked pale and ran away. The girl chased out of the outdoors and looked around. The teenager didn't know where to hide. She meditated slightly and threw the dagger in the air. She only heard a rattling sound. The sky crossed a bright light, as bright as a white rainbow, and something fell to the ground and made a sound. Gu Sheng took out a candlelight to shine, and a white fox in the grass lay dead, with a different head.

The girl said, "This thing is the prince's child. I wanted to spare his life, but the fox demon was deliberately looking for death, so he had to fulfill it." Putting the dagger in his bag, Gu Sheng took her hand and pulled it into the room. He wanted to revisit **. The girl shook her head and said, "There is no interest in disturbing the fox demon like this? Come back tomorrow night."

The next night, the girl went to the appointment on time. The two lingered. Gu Sheng asked, "The girl can fly a sword. Are you a sword fairy?"

The girl said, "This is not what you should know. Please keep it a secret for me. If it is leaked, I'm afraid it will bring disaster."

Gu Sheng nodded and asked, "When will I marry you?"

The girl said, "We have been sleeping together. As long as you think I'm your wife in your heart, why do you have to get married?"

Gu Sheng said, "Do you think I'm poor?"

The girl said, "The prince's family is poor. Is a cheap concubine very rich? The reason why I am happy with you is to pity you. When he was about to walk, he told him when he left, "It's a good thing, you can only do it occasionally. I'll come when it's time to come. I'm a man. Don't always be greedy for beauty.

In the future, when the two met, whenever Gu Sheng wanted to be alone with the girl, she avoided far away and only focused on housework and serving Gu's mother.

A few months later, the girl's mother died, and Gu Sheng helped with the funeral. From then on, the girl lived alone. Gu Sheng thought it was an opportunity to take advantage of it. This night. Entering the wall, he whispered the girl's name through the window, and I haven't seen a response for a long time. Looking at it, the doors and windows are blocked, the bedroom is empty, and the girl has disappeared.

In such a row for several days, the girl was without any message. Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel sad. At noon that day, the girl finally appeared and the two met. The girl said, "I have disappeared for no reason these days, and the prince must have been suspicious. But everyone has their own secrets, and I can't tell the truth for the time being. There is one thing that I also asked the prince to help me come up with.

Gu Sheng asked, "What's the matter?"

The girl said, "I have been pregnant for eight months, and I will be in labor soon. The identity of the concubine is not clear. Although she can give birth to a son, she can't raise her. Ask the prince to find a wet nurse. The sooner the better."

Gu Sheng Nuonuo agreed to go back and mention this matter to her mother. The old lady smiled and said, "This woman is really strange. The media is not willing to marry her, but she secretly fell in love with my son."

After more than a month, the girl did not show up for a few days. The old lady was suspicious and visited her in person. The door was closed. After knocking for a long time, the girl responded in a low voice. She came out with a unkempt face and led the old lady into the room. There was a baby lying in the bedroom, crying.

The old lady was surprised and happy and asked, "When was she born?"

The girl said, "It's been three days. It's a boy."

The old lady picked up the baby and teased her and smiled, "Good girl, thank you for giving birth to offspring for the Gu family. It's just that you are a lonely and weak woman. What are you going to do in the future?"

The girl said, "I still have something on my mind and I can't tell my mother. The child will be taken care of by you. As soon as he finished speaking, he drifted away.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, the girl pushed the door and entered, carried a leather bag, smiled at Gu Sheng and said, "I've done a big deal. I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Gu Sheng asked, "What's going on? Say goodbye? Where are you going?"

The girl said, "The prince takes care of his mother's kindness and never forgets it. I used to tell you that I can't do it again, which means that the kindness is not in the bed. The prince's family is poor and has no wife. From the moment we met, I made up my mind to continue the incense for you. I thought I could get pregnant after a good time. Who would have thought that the moon was coming, so I made an exception to have sex with you again. Now that I have given birth to offspring for my son, I have no regrets.

Gu Sheng asked, "What's in the skin?"

The girl said, "The head of the enemy." When I opened it, the flesh and blood were blurred.

Gu Sheng panicked, calmed down and asked the reason.

The girl said, "I haven't told you in the past. Because of the secret, I'm afraid of leaking the information. Now that the big event has come true, you might as well tell the truth: I am a Zhejiang native, and my father lives in Sima. I was killed by my enemy, and my whole family was killed. The concubine escaped behind her mother's back, and it has been three years since then. The reason why I didn't take revenge immediately was that my mother needed to take care of me. Later, when my mother died, I was pregnant and delayed for a period of time again. Some days ago, I was not at home every night. It was to check the enemy's residence, remember the road door, and make sure that it is foolproof. After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave. He told him, "The child is up to you. The son is blessed and his life is not long, but his son can shine. Don't disturb your mother in the middle of the night. I'll go."

Three years later, Gu Sheng really died. At the age of 18, his son was admitted to the entrance examination and raised his grandmother until the end.
