Do you know: What foolish choices did Shaw Brothers make to determine their tragic fate?

Gu Tingye's sister-in-law, the wife of the Gu family's Dalang, who has been frail since childhood. The only regret of the Shaw family is that they only have one daughter and no son. Just when the Gu family was in peace, Gu Tingye returned. No one in the Gu family expected that Gu Tingye would be able to return to the Gu family with fame. It's just that Gu Tingye hasn't been able to vent the bad anger in his heart not long after he came back, and the Gu family's Dalang can't. Before his death, for the sake of his wife and daughter, the Gu family's Dalang took out the suicide note written by the old marquis before his death to let Gu Tingye know. Dalang's move was just to save his wife and daughter, and to make life easier for his wife and daughter, because he understood that Xiao Qin would not plan for his daughter. Although Gu Tingye had a problem with him, he was a sincere person. Minglan He is not a harsh person. He explained everything before his death, and the bad guys will do it themselves. As long as the wife and daughter are polite to Minglan and his wife, life in the future will not be too difficult.

As expected, it is Gu Jialang who sees the problem sharply, but it is a pity that his wife Shao is not half as smart as him. Why did Shaw Brothers live such a "miserable" life afterwards? Then let’s first talk about how Minglan and his wife treated her. After Dalang of the Gu family passed away, Minglan saw that Shao was in ill health and took the initiative to take care of Shao, even though Shao was cold to him. Minglan wasn't angry either. She only looked after her with gentle words and considerate words, read prescriptions, tried decoctions, and told her some important things about the guests in the mourning hall outside. She also brought Sister Rong here to keep Sister Xian company. I brought some delicious and fun food from Chengyuan that day, so that the children could forget their sorrow for a while, and at least they could eat and sleep a little. During the mourning period, Minglan would take care of Shao's health from time to time and bring some snacks and toys to play with Sister Xian. He also gave Shaw a bright and colorful material, which is suitable for a girl who is mourning her father.

When the family was separated, Gu Tingye gave Sister Xian a generous share of the family property. The description in the original book is that Shao cried with joy at that time. Her own family was ordinary, and she only had some dowry from the Da Qin family, but these Years have passed and there is not much left. With such a share of the family fortune, Sister Xian has no worries about her future. A few words describe how rich this family fortune is. After the separation, the Shaw family still lived in the Hou Mansion, naturally with Minglan and his wife. The room Minglan arranged for them was bright and bright, with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, which made them feel happy.

As for how Minglan treats Sister Xian, we can learn from the conversation between Sister Xian and Shao. The dialogue between Sister Xian and Mr. Shao in the original work: "Among the sisters who went to school, there was a niece of Grandma Zheng Si. Her father was a scholar, but failed in many examinations, so he had to become a master for his brother who was an official in the clan and went to other places to take up his post. In this way, the eldest aunt in the family often deprives them of their mother and daughter's share. Clothes, food and supplies are either delayed or in short supply. ""Mom, if the second aunt is like that, she can save money just by observing filial piety. There were so many clothes for me to wear, but my second aunt not only didn't do that, she also tried her best to fix my furs and jewelry. People said that I had never seen a little girl wearing Xiao dress up so elegantly. It showed that the family was very attentive. . My mother worships Buddha every day, burns incense, and donates sesame oil. When did the second aunt ask us to pay for it ourselves?”

Even the children can feel that Minglan and his wife care about them. Not to mention, Ming Lan enlightened Shao in overt and covert ways, so that Shao brought a comfortable life for the maid and mother-in-law. This was originally a good thing. The two sisters-in-law were polite and Minglan was very attentive to Sister Xian, just like her own daughter. But after all these changes, after the true face of Shaw Brothers appeared, Minglan except Necessary etiquette, enlightenment, and kindness were all missing. When Minglan gave birth to a child for the first time, there was a fire in the mansion. Mr. Shao saw the fire but did not come to save her. Sister Xian scolded her servants to put out the fire. Next, the Madam came to embarrass Minglan. Minglan asked Shao to be found and asked Shao to be the intermediary messenger. Shao looked embarrassed. In her heart, she wanted to win the favor of the Madam, but also wanted not to offend Minglan. .

Minglan didn't care about it the past few times, thinking that she was a widowed person, so she didn't care. What really chilled Minglan was the following incident.

Gu Tingye went out to lead troops to fight, and there were rebels in the capital. The Shao family heard that someone from the palace came to announce the decree, and Minglan didn't go, which made the palace people furious and threatened to ransack the house, so he sent his cronies to Minglan to inquire. Minglan's maid explained After talking to each other, Shao's confidants still hesitated and said: "In order to avoid the anger of the nobles in the palace, I would like to ask the second lady to endure some grievances and go to the palace." At that moment, Minglan's servants all despised Shao. He was afraid of offending Minglan, but also hoped that no harm would come to him. Later that night, Minglan's house was ambushed. Gu Tingwei and the rebels attacked together, just to kill Minglan and the child. It would have been safer for Minglan to hide the child, but she never thought that Shao would lead someone to find out the child's whereabouts, so that the child was almost killed. If Sister Rong hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment, Minglan would not have been able to see the child.

Afterwards, Minglan confronted Shao: "Let me take my sister-in-law's pulse." "My sister-in-law made two mistakes. One, she refused to trust me; the other, she was too trusting of others! In the final analysis, my sister-in-law just can’t trust me. My close confidants said that I kept you in the open as a cover for Brother Tuan. You actually believe it, don’t you? If they are not for money, they are people with ulterior motives. I specially asked people to light up the lights in the main house of Jiaxi Residence, just to attract the money-grubbing thieves. Hmm, is there any place in the house that is richer than my residence? After the thieves robbed my house, they probably couldn't even walk! Shao opened his mouth wide and stammered: "I...I just said, why is your yard so bright?" "

"If you come here... Huh, the two brothers, Lord Marquis, are at odds with each other. They have had more than one quarrel, and half of the capital knows about it! No matter who comes to arrest us in the palace, or our good stepmother-in-law, they will only attack our mother and son, what does it have to do with you! Well, if you have to go in... your yard is built next to the lake! Two and a half of the four sides are close to water. Is it possible that the thieves can bring a raft with them for night attacks? There is only one exit to the General Palace, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How many guards have I deployed? Boss Tu has already said that unless there are three times as many thieves rushing in, you will never be able to get in! After what he said, Shao just admitted his mistake. When Shao was admitting his mistake, he was still thinking: "My sister-in-law has always been a generous person. As long as she admits her mistake, she will not make herself look bad in public." "

It's a pity that Shaw's cleverness was used in the wrong place. You almost harmed someone else's child, and you still want someone to be lenient to you. Isn't that a joke? The child is the mother's life, how could Minglan do that? To be lenient in such a matter, it is said that Shao is stupid and stupid. In fact, this ending can be said to be caused by Shao himself. At first, Minglan and his wife promised Gu family Dalang to take care of their mother and daughter, but How to take care of him depends on Shaw's behavior. After all, Dalang of the Gu family did so many things that caused Gu Tingye pain. Just because he did one thing before his death, Gu Tingye and his wife should be grateful. So, Shaw can't understand clearly. Mr. and Mrs. Lan were so kind to her orphan and widowed mother, but she repaid them with kindness.
