Before talking about Gu Tingcan, I have to mention another person who has influenced the three generations of the Gu family, that is, the Great Qin Clan, that is, Gu Tingcan's aunt.
What kind of person is the Great Qin Clan? In the original book, it is described like this:
The old servants said, Miss Qin Family, Mei Ruo Qiuhe, Jing Ji ShengYan, Good Poetry, Gong Qu Fu, Qinqi Calligraphy and Painting, all of them are all familiar.
However, the fly in the ointment is that she is seriously ill, frail and sickly, not only does not know the number of life expectancy, but even the heirs are difficult to almost impossible, and she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dongchang, and it is impossible for her parents to let their daughters marry low, and the door is right for the family to beg for a wife, not as a vase, but to teach the husband and teach the children, take care of the housework, and have to deal with interpersonal communication, which these Great Qin clans can't do at all.
However, Gu Tingye's father, Gu Yankai, ignored it and grinded with his parents for a long time, and finally married The Great Qin Clan. But the good times were not long, that is, not long after Gu Tingyu was born, the Kuyin case occurred, and the Marquis of Ningyuan fell into crisis because he owed more than 800,000 taels of silver, and urgently needed a huge amount of money to save his life.
Therefore, Gu Yankai, who deeply loved the Great Qin clan, had to make peace with the Great Qin clan and marry The Bai family, the birth mother of Gu Tingye, who was rich in dowry, entered the door, and the Great Qin clan could not accept the fate of leaving the Gu family, and after giving birth, he was weak, and struggled for a few days, and before he died, he pointed out a servant to be a concubine for her husband, and then returned to the west, poor that, who was already interested in the middle, but had to change from another person's wife to a concubine, and the only daughter was also calculated by the Xiao Qin clan to marry far away.
After Bai entered the door, although he saved the Marquis of Ningyuan with a rich dowry and gave birth to his concubine Gu Tingye, but because of his humble origin, he was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Marquis of Ningyuan, Gu Yankai was obsessed with the Great Qin clan and was very cold to the Bai clan, when the Bai clan learned the truth about Gu Yankai marrying himself, he was greatly shocked and died in childbirth.
First, for her mother Xiao Qin, her daughter Gu Tingcan is just a tool for her to please her husband.
Not long after Bai's death, Xiao Qin's brother-in-law was reluctant to pay a rich dowry, coupled with the great Qin family's filial piety, jealousy, and temperamental behavior in the in-laws' family ruined the reputation of the daughters of the Qin family, resulting in Xiao Qin's failure to marry out, so Xiao Qin's brother-in-law forced her sister to marry her brother-in-law to fill in the house.
No one wanted the concubine of the Tangtang Marquis, she had to fill the house for her brother-in-law, there were two stepsons, Xiao Qin Yan could swallow this breath? After having to marry, Xiao Qin held his breath in his heart and stared at the title of Marquis of Ningyuan.
The idea that the stepwife will take the wife is mostly the habit of the later husband; but she is different, from the day she married into the Gu Mansion, she gritted her teeth and remembered that she could not fill the house in vain, and the future Gu Hou would be her son!
If Xiao Qin wants to get a knighthood, he naturally needs to spare no effort to please her husband Gu Yankai, and Xiao Qin is very clear that Gu Yankai's biggest weakness is his sister Daqin. Therefore, seeing that her daughter Gu Tingcan deliberately imitated the Great Qin clan in order to get her father's attention, she not only did not stop it, but encouraged her daughter.
When people are just born, they are like a blank piece of paper, they can't distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, they don't know what is right and what is wrong, and at this time, the person they trust most is their parents.
If parents reprimand their children and stop their behavior, the children will understand that this is wrong, that it is not liked by the parents, that it is human nature to fear the majesty of the parents, and that the children will naturally not continue to do so. On the other hand, if their behavior is recognized and praised by their parents, they will decide that they are doing the right thing, they will do more, and they will get more praise and attention from their parents.
Therefore, with the acquiescence of Gu Yankai and the connivance of Xiao Qin, Gu Tingcan imitated every move and style of the Great Qin clan, and thought that it was all right, which also ruined her life.
Second, if she knows how to consider the feelings of others, she will not end up desolate.
The Great Qin Clan is still quite lucky, and has met a man who lacks heart and eyes and is willing to give up family responsibilities for love. However, in that era, how many men would be like Gu Yankai, disobeying their parents for a woman, regardless of family responsibilities and children? What in-laws can tolerate a daughter-in-law like the Great Qin Clan?
Gu Tingcan was not badly married, married to the princess's son, and her husband really liked her.
Since he was a child, he was afraid of such a powerful and powerful woman as Princess Qingchang, and he was impatient with the poverty and boredom of the gentle woman, and when he read the poems of the seven girls of Gu Fu at the Qiuju Poetry Conference that year, he was already very moved, and when he heard that this beautiful person was beautiful, he begged his mother to propose to him.
If Gu Tingcan is sensible, knows how to think about her husband, and be a good wife, she and Han Cheng can be Qin Ser and Ming. As long as she has the appearance of a daughter-in-law, the princess's mother-in-law will not have to take a concubine for her son.
However, From beginning to end, Gu Tingcan was a person who only considered himself and did not care whether others were dead or alive.
In order to evade the responsibility of filial piety to her in-laws (note, whether the background is ancient), she imitated the Great Qin clan and pretended to be weak, and got her mother-in-law, so that her husband was very embarrassed between her and her mother, and the husband and wife were not harmonious. Han Cheng tried to persuade his wife, but his wife couldn't help but talk about Gu Yankai and the Great Qin Clan, and it was the bull's head that was not right for Han Cheng to communicate with her.
She did not ask whether it was black or white, in order to avenge the so-called tragic death of her mother and brother, she tried her best to pit Gu Tingye, wanted to sue Gu Tingye, if she really made a big deal out of it, Gu Tingye would not cause any trouble, but her in-laws would be in trouble, so her in-laws could tolerate her?
She only wanted to be happy herself, regardless of the lives of the people around her, in order to murder the children in the concubine's womb, watching the Yahuan who grew up with her being beaten to death, so that Ling'er, who had always been loyal to her, was thirty years old and had not yet married.
After the fact that she framed Gu Tingye was revealed, she was locked up by her mother-in-law and never saw the light of day again, at that time, she still wanted to plant the matter on others.
In fact, Gu Tingcan had already rebelled against her relatives, her in-laws hated her, her husband no longer loved her, and the only living brother, Gu Tingye, had an enemy relationship with her, and in the end, Ling'er, who was loyal to her, betrayed her, conspired with the concubines, and told her to make a big mistake, and there was no place to turn around.
Third, people who do things only by nature, those who are prone to losing their way are helpless.
If a person does things only by his own nature, does not listen to the advice of others, and constantly harms others for the sake of his own selfishness, others cannot be willing to be so close in order to protect themselves and think for themselves.
There are many things in this world, not how you want to be, except for your parents, no one is willing to hold you for a lifetime and let you be a demon.
As the saying goes on the Internet: If you want to fall, the gods and immortals will not be saved; if you want to grow, you can live in a desperate place.
Gu Tingcan was born noble and married well, but he played a good hand of cards and killed himself.
END.
